"Hey? Xiaoshui."

"No need to thank you, it's good that people go home, uh... he wants to thank you in person? Well, no need, really no need, it's just a small matter."

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

After Lin Zhishui finished the call, he put down his cell phone and breathed a sigh of relief.

The old man may have been a successful person before, but he obviously suffered a blow and was so desperate. At first glance, he had mental problems and he dared not provoke him.

And they all became beggars, and they probably didn’t have much money.

It’s better to be exempted if it’s just a verbal thank you or a little cheap gift.

Although the gift is light and affection is heavy, since he opened the store, the gifts given by these customers in the store have been a bit too light.

Either it is an ordinary bluestone ruler, a dusty wash basin, or just a few small peaches, although the taste is pretty good...

The most precious thing is the crystal ball that Cheng Buxiu gave, but it is made of glass.

Alas... Look at how stylish the gifts received by the masters on TV are, either precious medicinal materials, invitations for gatherings of high-ranking people, or just big red envelopes. These gifts are too shabby, right?

If it is another guest, it would be fine. For an old man like this who obviously has mental problems, it is better to stay away.

After all, he couldn't stand his own little snake, a little mentally ill. What if he had another one?

"Little snake, it's time to eat!"

After cooking, Lin Zhishui habitually smashed the door and moaned.

After a while, She Xilu opened the door and came out, but it seemed that she was not so angry when she woke up today. She still remembered combing her hair and cleaning up her, and only a few hairs were still standing tenaciously.

"Half a year left."

On the dining table, Lin Zhishui suddenly spoke up.

"What... what half a year?" She Xilu asked in confusion.

"You will be twenty years old in half a year." Lin Zhishui said with a smile: "The legal age for marriage is then."

She Xilu's face turned red, she lowered her head in a little embarrassed manner, and whispered: "I...I didn't say I want to marry you..."

Lin Zhishui smiled and said, "I didn't say I wanted to hold a wedding with you."

"……oh."

She Xilu bit her lip, slowly lowered her head, lowered her eyes, and continued to eat silently.

"You're so bad, I said 'ok' and you don't want to do it either." Lin Zhishui couldn't help but reach out and grabbed her ear, and said helplessly: "I mean, we can get the certificate first and then talk about it after the wedding... are you stupid?"

"oh!"

She Xilu was stunned at first, then responded with a little excitement, and then realized that she seemed to be acting a little too obvious. She quickly blushed and lowered her head, and continued to bury her head.

But her movements were obviously much lighter, and she could see a smile that could not be suppressed at the corners of her eyes.

"Death and arrogance..." Lin Zhishui rolled his eyes.

“Yes…right.”

After eating for a while, She Xilu suddenly raised her head, wrapped her cheeks with rice, looking a little cute, like a little hamster.

She hesitated for a moment and said naturally: "Did you have new...new customers recently? I...I heard someone called you in the morning. Who is it?"

"Morning?"

Lin Zhishui thought about it and it seemed that Yan Shuishui was the only one calling him in the morning?

He observed the little snake without any trace and found that she was lowering her head to eat, trying to pretend to be careless. Her ears were almost on their way, and the frequency of stuttering just now was significantly higher, obviously because of her nervousness.

He couldn't help but laugh. This girl was quite alert.

"She, a little sister, can't be considered a guest, she should be considered my student."

Lin Zhishui told the truth: "She has a talent for calligraphy and is learning calligraphy from me. In fact, she didn't want her to stay, but she was a little pitiful, without any father or mother, and she was walking alone in the rain at night, so I felt a little kind."

"That... that's quite pitiful." She Xilu nodded slightly in agreement, with a little sympathetic look on her face.

She is also an orphan and likes to stay alone, so she can empathize and understand what it feels like to walk alone in the rain.

But being able to empathize does not mean that you should relax your vigilance!

So the little snake asked carefully again: "Is she... good-looking?"

Lin Zhishui smiled and knew that she was not very safe, so he said, "I am a face-blind person. I don't know if she looks good. Don't worry, I think you are the best in the world."

She Xilu's little face turned red, and her head was a little confused by his sweet words. She blushed and lowered her head for a while before she slowly woke up.

She whispered again: "When you have time, you... would you take her back for... to have supper?"

"Take her back for dinner?" Lin Zhishui was stunned and said, "No, right? I have tried my best to keep my distance from her. Have you pulled her home?"

He glanced at Xiaoshe again and suddenly laughed, "I understand... OK, then when are you going to let her come?"

"Uh... the day after tomorrow." She Xilu thought for a while and said, "I... I'll cook, you... you will accompany me tomorrow to buy contact eyes... glasses."

She still needs to spend a day preparing, dressing up herself, and then showing her cooking skills so that she can show her position as a hostess.

“OK.”

Lin Zhishui shook his head and smiled, and naturally saw through this girl's little thoughts.

Soon, after the two of them finished their supper, She Xilu habitually went to the refrigerator to find fruits. When she found that the fruit had finished eating, she turned her head and looked at Lin Zhishui and said, "I...I want to eat fruits, please accompany me... Is it okay to go out and buy..."

The two fruit shops that takeaway are not delicious, but the fruits in nearby supermarkets are pretty good.

Lin Zhishui thought for a while and said, "How about you eat peaches first."

She Xilu was stunned and couldn't help but pursed her mouth aggrievedly: "Why are you... scolding me..."

"No... I mean I have a peach in my bag. You can eat it first. I'll buy it for you. You don't have to go out." Lin Zhishui said with a smile.

"oh……"

She Xilu always felt that this guy was taking the opportunity to bully her, but she couldn't find any evidence, so she had to turn around and walk to Lin Zhishui's bedroom with grievances and go to get her bag.

Lin Zhishui smiled and went out to buy fruit with his cell phone. He didn't forget to close the door before going out.

"Um?"

In the bedroom, She Xilu took out a plastic bag from Lin Zhishui's bag. When she opened the plastic bag, she saw that there were small blue oil-skinned peaches.

"So small..."

She is a soft peach party, and she doesn't like crispy peaches very much, but she prefers peaches with juice.

However, after all, that guy left it for him, so it's better to eat it.

She Xilu picked up the peach and opened her mouth a little disgusted. After taking a bite, she couldn't help but exclaim, her beautiful eyes lit up. Unexpectedly, looking at the ordinary little peach, she was so sweet and soft?

She ate the peach a few times and soon ate the peach until only one peach pit was left.

‘Where did you buy this bad guy? Don’t buy more…’

She stretched out her tongue and licked the juice on her lips, and then reluctantly placed the peach pit on the table. Such delicious peach, let's keep the peach pits as a souvenir.

Suddenly—

“Um…”

With a buzzing sound in her head, She Xilu felt a little dazed in front of her, as if there was a shaking ghost, as if... a different perspective suddenly appeared.

At the same time, she felt that she had a headache that had been many times in the past and started to attack again.

I don’t know what happened, but she has had a slight headache since she was a child. The interval between headaches in the past was quite long, but in recent times, the frequency has been getting higher and higher.

Especially now, it was as if something was swelling in her head, which made her headache break and felt like her head was about to explode.

She felt the whole world start to shake violently, and she couldn't help but fall to the floor, holding her head tightly with her hands, trembling and curling on the floor like a helpless beast, moaning in pain.

“Um…”

But with the extremely strong headache, some plots that only exist in novels flashed through her mind.

‘I can’t have a brain tumor…’

‘No… I’m going to get married in half a year, so it shouldn’t be such a coincidence…’

‘It hurts so much… Lin Zhishui… My head hurts so much…’

'If I had a brain tumor... Will Lin Zhishui want me anymore... If it were him, he would definitely not... But should I leave him on his own initiative and not burden him... Woo, it's so bloody...'

'But if it really becomes a burden...I...I don't want to leave you...I really want to marry you...'

‘What should I do… My head hurts so much… Lin Zhishui saves me…’

‘I can’t have hurt so much…I haven’t kissed you yet, haven’t…’

As a lot of distracting thoughts emerged, her body was accompanied by an increasingly shocking headache and trembled violently on the floor, and her consciousness gradually fell into a blank space.

Suddenly, the swelling headache seemed to explode, and the roar sounded in her mind, and there seemed to be a cold woman with hissing and vaguely laughing.

"Oh……"

Like hallucinations, the headache passed away like a tide.

Then, She Xilu slowly opened her eyes, looked at the ceiling blankly for a while, and gasped hard. After a while, she got up from the floor covered in sweat, feeling like she had a life of surviving the disaster.

At the same time, she saw herself in the bedroom fitting mirror.

At this time, black scales appeared faintly on the skin on her left half of her face, and her left eye was also glossed with a faint green color, and the pupils looked like a snake's eyes!

"this……"

She was stunned for a moment, and before she could even get close to observe herself, she heard a cold female voice in her mind that was like herself, mixed with hissing snakes:

"Hello me."
