Chapter 248 I am different from Mr. Song

Noticing Xiao Tingshan's gaze, Shen Shuyi raised his eyes to look at him and smiled as a greeting.

At that moment, it seemed as if thousands of pear blossoms were in full bloom, the ice and snow had begun to melt, and the scorching warm sun penetrated the clouds, leaped over the branches, and scattered on the earth.

It seemed as if the previous tensions and targeted sarcasm had never appeared.

It seemed as if he and she were old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.

Xiao Tingshan was stunned for a moment, then smiled back.

But his smile had only widened a little when Shen Shuyi had already retracted her gaze, leaving only Xiao Tingshan's gentleness and smile that had not yet been fully revealed, with a stiff expression on his face, as if he was about to smile or not, and feeling very embarrassed.

Liancheng didn't notice this tiny detail between the two of them. He stood in front of the steps at the foot of the mountain, looked up at the long winding mountain road and the endless stone steps, and slowly took the first step.

"I'll go with you, sir." Xiao Tingshan collected his thoughts and spoke in a deep voice.

After he finished speaking, he couldn't stop coughing twice, and he looked really weak.

Lian Cheng ignored him and followed the example of others, bowing his head with every step and walking up in silence.

He knelt, and Xiao Tingshan followed suit, as if he was not an official. He prayed for the care of the gods and Buddhas like an ordinary citizen, hoping that the hardships along the way could show his sincerity.

Shen Shuyi followed on the other side of Liancheng, asked Jinzhu and Yuping to step back two steps, took an umbrella, held it over Liancheng's head, and followed him slowly up.

Shen Shuyi turned around and said something to Jinzhu. Jinzhu nodded, then turned and left.

Xiao Tingshan raised his eyes and took another look at her, not knowing what she was going to do next.

Shen Shuyi pretended not to know and followed the two of them upstairs.

Lian Cheng and Xiao Tingshan knelt, but she did not intend to kneel.

Even though she knew that she could actually use this method to soften Liancheng's heart, after all, Liancheng was a person of this character, hard on the outside but soft on the inside. Although he would abide by his own rules, he would inevitably let her go.

But she didn't want this. She didn't want to take advantage of Liancheng's kindness in this way, nor did she want to ruin her body like this.

She had been in poor health in the Buddhist temple a few years ago, and the mountain road was winding, and the ground was wet and cold. She didn't know how much pain she would have to endure if she had to kneel down all the way.

Shen Shuyi followed beside him, holding an umbrella for Liancheng all the way.

The first part of the journey seemed solemn and quiet, and no one spoke. Until half an hour had passed, Xiao Tingshan was panting and struggling, and he began to cough violently.

"Young Master!" Songbai quickly supported him and spoke with concern.

"Nothing." Xiao Tingshan waved his hand, his eyes dark and forbearing.

He spent a lot of effort to find out Liancheng's whereabouts today. Liancheng seldom goes out, so the opportunity cannot be missed. If he wants to ask Liancheng for help, today is crucial.

"But you had a high fever a few days ago, and you are not in good health now. What's more..." Songbai's eyes turned red, as if he wanted to say something.

Lian Cheng frowned, turned his head and looked at him and said, "You should go back, a young man from an aristocratic family like you. If you continue on this journey, it will cost you half your life!"

Xiao Tingshan smiled, but against the backdrop of the solemn and bleak mountain scenery, his face looked pale and bloodless.

"Don't worry, sir. I won't live long anyway. I might as well fight hard while I can still move."

Hearing this, Lian Cheng sneered, looked away, and ignored him.

The mountain road was long and winding. Although Liancheng was in good health when he was young, he had neglected exercise in recent years. In addition, as he grew older, after kneeling for nearly an hour, his steps became slower and slower, and he was even out of breath when he walked out.

Every time I kneel down and kowtow, I can hardly stand up.

"What a bullshit rule!" Lian Cheng cursed in a low voice, obviously not believing in this so-called blessing.

But for parents, it is always difficult to give up even if there is a glimmer of hope.

Shen Shuyi smiled and said, "If you can't walk, why don't we go back and light a brazier, and ask Yuping to prepare a pot and boil two pots of hot wine. It will be warm and fragrant, isn't it wonderful?"

Listening to Shen Shuyi's words, Liancheng swallowed his saliva, and there was more longing in his eyes.

After a moment, he uttered a loud "Puh!", took off the wine gourd from his waist and gulped down the last few mouthfuls, then said, "You are such a bad girl!"

Shen Shuyi smiled, his eyes fell on Lian Cheng's red toes, and he joked again: "If you had known it would be so difficult to walk, would you have insisted on changing into a pair of airtight shoes?"

Lian Cheng's cheeks flushed with embarrassment at her words. He had no intention of dressing up and spent his days in a daze. Unfortunately, the weather was not good. He finally picked a day to pray for blessings, but it happened to rain and snow...

Xiao Tingshan's eyes fell on Liancheng's shoes and thin clothes, and he said in a gentle voice: "Sir, your shoes are not suitable for me, but you can use this cloak to keep warm first."

As he spoke, Xiao Tingshan raised his hand to untie his cloak and wanted to give it to Liancheng.

Unfortunately, Lian Cheng was the last to be fooled. He raised his hand and pushed him away: "Don't give me that. Don't think that you can use these things to please me. I said the rules cannot be broken! Mr. Song has time to waste time with me. Why don't you find a way to find Lian Qiao!"

Xiao Tingshan staggered when he was pushed by Yang's hand.

Fortunately, Song Ren quickly supported him and said, "Why are you like this? You really don't know what's good for you!"

Lian Cheng said bluntly: "That's right, this is the character of this old man. Who told you to be so eager to please me?"

"Song Ren, don't be rude. This is our fault. Ahem..."

Xiao Tingshan stopped him in a deep voice, but before he could finish his sentence, he started coughing heavily again.

Lian Cheng ignored him. He was already very tired and had no energy to deal with them.

At this moment, Jinzhu came back hurriedly with a bundle in her arms: "Miss, I bought the things."

Jinzhu took out a pair of shoes from the bag and handed them to Shen Shuyi.

Lian Cheng took a quick glance and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, although the shoes didn't look very good, they looked really thick... The soles were so thick, they must be soft and warm when they stepped on the ground.

Shen Shuyi noticed his reaction and said with a smile, "Sir, I think you deliberately wore tattered clothes to show your sincerity. I don't think you can use these shoes."

This sentence made Lian Cheng jump up and down, "Girl, how can you ask for help from others? Look at Song Tingshan, and then look at yourself!"

Shen Shuyi curled his eyes and said with a smile: "Mr. Song and I are naturally different. Mr. Song wants to get something for nothing, but I am sincerely doing business with you."

Xiao Tingshan's expression froze, and he felt that Shen Shuyi was still the same Shen Shuyi!

"Ms. Shen seems to have misunderstood me."

Shen Shuyi ignored him and asked Liancheng while holding the shoes: "Do you want to wear them? I also asked Jinzhu to buy two pots of hot wine. If you don't want to drink..."

"Who said I don't drink!"

Liancheng became anxious and reached out to snatch the shoes from her hand, thinking that this girl was careful. It just so happened that his wine gourd was empty.
