Chapter 704 Su Wuming 3

He secretly observed Chu Hua. When she smiled, her eyes curved into crescents and two shallow dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth. She was extremely cute. He wanted to reach out and touch her soft cheek and feel the warmth of her smile.

But he didn't dare.

He had never been so close to a woman, let alone expressed his love for her.

Su Wuming's heartbeat was a little fast, like the beating of a drum, making his eardrums buzz. He secretly swallowed his saliva, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, but he couldn't bear to take his eyes away from Chu Huan.

This girl is such a mystery.

"Miss..." Su Wuming mustered up the courage and opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to address her.

He can't keep calling "girl girl" all the time, can he?

Chu Hua was still fiddling with her phone. She replied without even looking up: "Just call me Chu Hua."

"Chu...Huan..." Su Wuming recited her name word by word, as if he wanted to engrave these two words in his heart.

What a beautiful name, just like her, fresh, refined and intoxicating.

"Sir, why are you staring at me?" Chu Hua finally noticed Su Wuming's burning gaze, raised her head, and looked at him with a smile.

Su Wuming blushed when she asked him this, and he stammered, "Nothing... nothing, I just think Miss... no, Miss Chuhua's name is very nice."

"Sir, I don't even know your name yet?" Chu Hua finally raised her head from the fun of her phone and looked at Su Wuming with her bright eyes, with a hint of cunning in them.

Su Wuming bowed respectfully, then slowly said his name: "I am Su Wuming, the lieutenant of Chang'an County."

He looked up at Chu Hua with a little nervousness, his eyes containing a hint of expectation mixed with a hint of uneasiness.

"Su Wuming..." Chu Hua repeated this name which sounded quite ancient to her, and then blinked playfully.

"How high of an official is Chang'an County Lieutenant? Higher than the prefect or the county magistrate?"

Su Wuming was amused by her naive question, and his original nervousness dissipated a little.

He coughed lightly and explained, "The prefect is in charge of a prefecture, the county magistrate is in charge of a county, and the county lieutenant... is the deputy of the county magistrate, mainly responsible for maintaining public order and catching thieves."

"Oh~" Chu Huan dragged out the last syllable, pretending to be suddenly enlightened.

"So, you are a...captain of police?"

Su Wuming didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "The head constable is a yamen runner, not an official. Although the county lieutenant is not of high rank, he is still an official appointed by the court."

"Gu——" A sudden sound broke the slightly ambiguous atmosphere between the two people.

Chu Hua's face instantly turned red, even more red than the most gorgeous rouge in Chang'an City. She covered her stomach, feeling so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

Su Wuming was stunned at first, then he realized that the sound came from Chu Huan's stomach.

He suppressed his smile and asked with concern, "Are you hungry, girl?"

Chu Huan nodded awkwardly and uttered "hmm" in a low voice, like the hum of a mosquito.

When Su Wuming saw her like this, he felt even more pity for her. This girl was really adorable.

He coughed lightly to hide the smile on his face, and said, "It's getting late, why don't I take you to taste the delicacies of Chang'an City?"

When Chu Hua heard this, her eyes lit up, and her stomach growled again, as if agreeing with Su Wuming's suggestion. She smiled sheepishly and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, sir."

Su Wuming brought Chu Hua to the busiest street market in Chang'an City - East Market.

The East Market was full of things to see and do, and the crowds were bustling. Chu Hua's eyes were almost not enough, and she looked at the people selling candy figurines, then at the people selling silk flowers, flitting among the crowd like a happy butterfly.

Su Wuming followed her closely, afraid that she would disappear in the blink of an eye.

"Miss Chu Huan, your clothes..." Su Wuming hesitated for a long time, but finally spoke.

Chu Huan was wearing his official uniform. Although he had tried his best to tighten it with a belt, it still looked too loose and funny.

Chu Huan looked down at her clothes and realized something was wrong. Her cheeks flushed slightly.

"Ah, this... doesn't seem appropriate."

Su Wuming said quickly, "There's a clothing store up ahead with a good reputation. Why don't we go there and buy some clothes first?"

Chu Hua readily agreed.

The owner of the clothing shop was a shrewd woman. She could tell at a glance that Su Wuming had an extraordinary temperament and came up to him enthusiastically.

"My dear guests, what kind of clothes do you want? Our shop has many styles and we have everything you need."

"Madam, do you have any dress suitable for this girl?"

The proprietress's eyes rolled, and she immediately took a goose yellow skirt from the shelf, and introduced it enthusiastically: "This dress is a new model this year. The material is the best Shu brocade, and the pattern is the most popular peony. It is most suitable for a young and beautiful girl like this young lady."

The light yellow skirt on Chu Hua made her skin look whiter than snow and her eyes and teeth look bright.

Su Wuming was a little dazed for a moment, until the proprietress coughed lightly, he came back to his senses.

"Sir, does this dress fit you well?" the proprietress asked with a smile, a shrewd gleam in her eyes.

"Well, very good." Su Wuming touched his nose uncomfortably, took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and handed it to the proprietress.

After changing her clothes, Chu Huan turned around in front of the bronze mirror and nodded with satisfaction.

"Thank you, Lord Su." She smiled sweetly, and as her eyes moved, Su Wuming seemed to see the stars falling into the sky.

"You're welcome." Su Wuming felt his heart beating a little faster, and he tried hard to suppress the throbbing in his heart.

Su Wuming continued to take Chu Hua to stroll in the East Market. Amid the bustling crowd, the hawkers' cries could be heard one after another, and various aromas mixed together, filling the air with the flavor of the city.

Chu Hua was full of curiosity about everything, looking at the dough figurines and touching the colorful silk, jumping for joy like a child. Su Wuming looked at her and a smile rose unconsciously at the corner of his mouth.

"Master Su, look at that!" Chu Hua pointed to a stall selling sugar paintings in front of her, her eyes sparkling.

Su Wuming followed her gaze and saw an old man holding a small copper spoon and pouring various lifelike patterns on the stone slab.

"Want to eat?" Su Wuming asked softly.

Chu Hua nodded shyly: "It looks delicious."

Su Wuming walked to the stall and handed the old man a few coins: "Please make a butterfly."

The old man took the copper coin and replied with a smile: "Okay!"

After a while, a golden butterfly sugar painting was completed, as thin as a cicada's wing and crystal clear. Su Wuming handed the sugar painting to Chu Hua.

Chu Hua carefully took the sugar painting and licked it. The sweet taste spread in her mouth. She squinted her eyes in satisfaction and said, "It's delicious!"
