Chapter 741 Su Wuming 40
"Western Fantasy Grass? This is the first time I've heard of it. This flower... smells quite fragrant." As she spoke, she sniffed it gently, and a strange fragrance penetrated her nose, with a hint of sweetness, a hint of clarity, and a hint of strangeness that was hard to describe.
Seeing her so bold, Su Wuming's heart tightened. He quickly pulled her hand over and checked it carefully. He was relieved only after confirming that she was not contaminated with pollen.
"This flower is extremely poisonous. Don't touch it lightly." He said in a serious tone with a hint of worry in his eyes.
Chu Hua was amused by his nervous look and blinked mischievously: "I know, I know. County Magistrate Su is really a coward."
Lu Lingfeng watched the two interacting from the side and couldn't help but roll his eyes: "I said, can you please stop teasing Su Wuming all the time? Can't you see that he is almost scared to death by you?"
Chu Huan snorted and turned away, ignoring him.
Su Wuming blinked in panic, his eyes were erratic, and he didn't dare to look directly at Chu Hua. A faint blush appeared on his face.
Chu Hua was amused by his helpless look. She originally just wanted to make a joke, but she didn't expect Su Wuming to be so serious.
She suppressed her laughter and asked in a serious tone, "Captain Su, could it be that the pollen from the Western Region Magic Grass has caused you to hallucinate?"
Su Wuming became even more flustered when he heard this, as if someone had discovered his secret. He quickly waved his hands and explained, "No... No, I... I just..."
He hesitated for a long time but couldn't make out what he was saying.
Lu Lingfeng couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but interrupt, "Su Wuming, can you stop being such a coward? You just like the girl, right? Why are you embarrassed to admit it?"
When Su Wuming heard Lu Lingfeng's words, he jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on. He stared at Lu Lingfeng and stammered, "You...what nonsense are you talking about? I...I didn't..."
"No? Then why are you blushing? Why is your heart beating? Why are you avoiding my eyes?" Lu Lingfeng exposed him mercilessly, with a hint of ridicule in his tone.
Su Wuming was speechless after hearing what Lu Lingfeng said. He knew in his heart that he could no longer hide his feelings for Chu Hua.
Chu Hua looked at Su Wuming's embarrassed look and laughed in her heart.
Master Fei Ji woke up at some point, rubbed his sleepy eyes, yawned, and said slowly: "Su Wuming, when did you become so fussy? If you like her, then you like her. You are so old, and the girl may not agree to it. What are you afraid of?"
He glanced at Su Wuming sideways, his tone full of mockery.
Su Wuming opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but didn't know where to start.
He is indeed not young anymore, in his thirties, and still unmarried. It is not that he does not want to, but that he has put all his attention on solving the case and has never thought about love affairs.
Now, Chu Huan's appearance disturbed his mind and made him confused, not knowing how to respond.
"You...don't talk nonsense." Su Wuming held it in for a long time before finally squeezing out these words.
Chu Huan watched Su Wuming's embarrassed look from the side and secretly laughed in her heart, but there was also a strange feeling spreading in her heart.
She originally approached Su Wuming with the intention of completing a system task, but as they spent more time together, she found that she seemed to have developed a slight affection for this dull and cute man.
Su Wuming coughed dryly, looked away with a vague look, and said vaguely: "Old Fei, you are drunk and confused, what nonsense are you talking about. That... I suddenly remembered that I still have to visit Minister Pei..."
As he spoke, he stepped back calmly, then turned around abruptly and fled away.
Lu Lingfeng looked at Su Wuming's fleeing back, shook his head helplessly, and said to Chu Hua: "Look at him, how cowardly he is."
Chu Hua angrily kicked the stone at her feet away, and the gravel flew far away and hit Master Fei Ji's foot.
"Ouch!" Master Fei Ji screamed and jumped up holding his feet: "Hey little girl, you are trying to murder me!"
Chu Hua rolled her eyes at him and said unhappily, "Who told you to talk nonsense?"
"What nonsense did I say? I said that Su Wuming likes you. Is that true? Look at how he looked just now. He looked like he saw a ghost and ran faster than a rabbit." Master Fei Ji rubbed his feet, looking aggrieved.
Chu Hua glared at Master Fei Ji, looking as angry as a puffer fish.
"What do you know! You're always so perverted!" She was embarrassed and annoyed. She stamped her feet, turned around and left, leaving Master Fei with an angry back.
Master Fei Ji looked at her receding figure, stroked his beard, shook his head and sighed: "Young people just can't keep their temper. Love is not that easy..."
Lu Lingfeng looked at the backs of the two people, one chasing and the other fleeing, sighed helplessly, and said to Master Fei, "Old Fei, why did you bother her when you had nothing to do? Look, now you've made her angry and ran away."
Master Fei Ji waved his hand nonchalantly: "I am just worried about that kid Su Wuming! He has a stupid head and is not smart. Should I help him?"
Lu Lingfeng shook his head and said nothing more.
When Su Wuming came back, he was holding a box of exquisite snacks in his hand. Seeing that Lu Lingfeng and Master Fei Ji were there, but Chu Hua was missing, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
"Where's Huan'er?" He put the snacks on the table and asked casually.
Master Fei Ji coughed dryly, his eyes wandering, and he stroked his beard guiltily: "That girl... has a bad temper. She ran away after a few words from me."
"Run away?" Su Wuming was stunned, and a trace of worry rose in his heart: "Where did he go?"
Chu Hua sat bored on the training ground, holding a piece of dogtail grass in her hand and fiddling with it from time to time.
Xiao Wu was standing next to her, telling her in vivid detail about a strange case that he and Lu Lingfeng had secretly investigated before.
"Girl, you don't know, that case was so bizarre! The deceased was a wealthy man, and he died in his own secret room. The doors and windows were locked from the inside, and there were no signs of a fight in the room. It was as if... he disappeared out of thin air!"
At this point, Xiao Wu lowered his voice and pretended to be mysterious: "I heard that the rich man offended many people during his lifetime. Some people said that his enemies were looking for revenge and used some kind of witchcraft..."
Su Wuming stood in the distance, still holding the box of exquisite snacks in his hand, feeling as if he was carrying a heavy stone. He watched Chu Hua and Xiao Wu chatting animatedly, occasionally bursting into laughter, but that laughter was like a string of needles, piercing his heart.
Especially Xiaowu, who got excited and danced with joy, wishing he could stick his whole body to Chuhuan. The veins on Su Wuming's forehead were throbbing, and he wished he could rush over and pick up that boy and throw him out.
