Chapter 11 Strolling in the Rain
Both Li Yulou and Chuntao heard the knock on the window.

"Miss, this is the second floor, why would someone knock on the window?" Chuntao grabbed Li Yulou's arm with both hands, her eyes shifted back and forth between Li Yulou's face and the window nervously.

"In broad daylight, what are you afraid of, you brat..." Li Yulou walked towards the window with a smile.

"Miss, why don't you call Xiaoer..."

Before Chuntao finished speaking, Li Yulou had already unbolted the window and pushed it open.

I don't know when it started to rain lightly, half of the boy's body under a blue oil-paper umbrella came into view in the rain.

The half-worn cloth robe could not conceal his elegance at all.

Li Yulou recognized Meng Shiyu at a glance with only half his body.

"Shiyu... why are you here?" Li Yulou excitedly waved at Meng Shiyu.

The boy raised his face, with a slight smile between his brows and eyes, his snow-white face pierced through the rain and fog like a ray of light, shining in Li Yulou's eyes.

She stepped on the stool and raised her leg to step out.

"Miss, this is the second floor..." Chuntao jumped up and hugged Li Yulou, her eyes fell on Li Yulou's face, like an old mother looking at another naughty child.

"Oh..." Li Yulou got off the stool, opened the door and rushed out, and arrived in front of Meng Shiyu in an instant.

"Why are you here? You're going to be in the spring tomorrow. Why are you here?" Li Yulou looked at Meng Shiyu, his heart began to bubble like hot water, but he kept nagging, "Don't delay your spring in the future." ..."

"Also, how can you wear it so thin? I don't know when it will start to rain. What can you do if you get wet? If you catch a cold, you will be damaged."

Meng Shiyu wanted to talk, but the girl didn't give him a chance to talk, and kept talking non-stop.

"I'm about to go to the Tribute Academy tomorrow morning to send you into the examination room, you shouldn't be here..."

"By the way, how do you know that I came to Hangzhou Mansion and that I live here?" Li Yulou seemed to have gotten to the point after talking so much.

"Zhou Hong..." Meng Shiyu said, "You forgot..."

"Oh..." The girl smiled, as if she heard something very happy, the dimples on her fair face rolled like dewdrops on the lotus petals, round and translucent.

"I forgot about Brother Zhou..."

Meng Shiyu said, "Why did you suddenly come to Hangzhou Mansion?"

"I want to see..." Li Yulou swallowed you, cheeks and earlobes flushed, "Well, I'm the textile chief in Xiuzhou, and I've received an invitation from the Hangzhou government. To participate in the Fabric Exchange Conference..."

"My purple silk gauze will definitely be favored by many merchants and get a lot of purchase orders."

"But in the past few days, all the activities in Hangzhou Mansion Chunwei have stopped..." Meng Shiyu looked at the girl's pink and jade-carved cheeks and said calmly.

"Ah, really, no way..." Li Yulou felt that Meng Shiyu had exposed her lie, lowered his head awkwardly, and kicked his embroidered shoes lightly on the ground.

The smile on Meng Shiyu's face curved up, "I want to eat roasted chestnuts, can you buy them for me?"

"Okay..." Li Yulou's eyes sparkled, and his eyelashes trembled as if they were shining.

Meng Shiyu held an umbrella and gave up half of the umbrella to Li Yulou.

Li Yulou and Meng Shiyu walked on the streets of Hangzhou Mansion on a rainy day, and they were so happy that they forgot that she shouldn't let Meng Shiyu get wet in the rain.

Xiao Qi and Xiao Wu fell behind and followed from a distance. "Does the young master like Miss Yulou?" Xiao Wu asked.

"Miss Yulou is so nice, shouldn't the young master like it? If it were me, I would like it too..." Xiao Qi looked elated.

Xiao Wu reached out and knocked Xiao Qi on the back of the head, "Who is the young master, you forgot, young master..."

"By the way..." Xiao Wu suddenly changed the subject, and looked at Xiao Qi with a serious face, "You have many opportunities to be with the young master every day, have you noticed that the young master is a little different from before?"

"What's different..." Xiao Qi looked blank, thinking that Xiao Wu was stupid, "Same face, same body, same personality..."

"Personality..." Xiao Wu murmured, "It's just that the personality has changed a bit. Although it is still cold, but...if it was the young master before, he wouldn't come to see her with an umbrella on a rainy day, and even go for a walk with her ..."

"That's Miss Yulou's sincerity, gold and stone are the same..." Xiaoqi raised his chin slightly, with a proud expression.

"You really read too much in your book." Xiao Wu snorted lightly.

"You can't eat too much roasted chestnuts, it's not easy to digest, you eat less, and I'll buy you some snacks for you to take back. I don't know what to bring to the exam room. Dad's exam was more than ten years ago. At that time, I Still young..." Li Yulou said to Meng Shiyu.

"Don't worry, I'm ready, let's go, I'll take you back." Meng Shiyu said.

Li Yulou hummed, "You can go back directly, I can do it by myself, rest early, I said it was very hard to go to the examination room, I don't know if I can get a good seat, don't get too close to Gong Tong..."

Seeing the girl's worried expression, Meng Shiyu put the oil paper bag of roasted chestnuts in front of her, "Open me a chestnut, do I think it's delicious?"

"Hey..." Li Yulou reached into the bag and took a roasted chestnut, easily pinched it for Meng Shiyu, and put the flesh in his palm.

Meng Shiyu's fingers were long and slender, with distinct joints, and each finger was as straight as if it had been trimmed, so beautiful that Li Yulou couldn't move his eyes.

"Want to eat?" Meng Shiyu asked as Li Yulou stared at his palm.

"Think..." Li Yulou blurted out, and then realized something, his cheeks flushed red, as if stained with blood.

"Then this is for you." Meng Shiyu said.

"I'm leaving first, Shi Yu, take the exam hard." Li Yulou ran towards the inn without hesitation.

Meng Shiyu looked at the spotless chestnut meat pulled out by the girl in his palm, and couldn't figure out what was going on for a moment.

Li Yulou ran for a few feet, then turned back to look at Meng Shiyu, saw the boy was still standing in the rain holding an umbrella, she waved at Meng Shiyu with a smile on her face, and then jumped into the inn.

Meng Shiyu put the chestnut meat into his mouth, and slowly bit it into pieces, feeling a little sweeter than usual.

Li Yulou returned to the room exuberantly, thinking about the scene of walking in the rain with Meng Shiyu just now, his heart was pounding like a deer.It is really worthwhile for her to come to Hangzhou Mansion this time, and she will definitely not have such an opportunity in Xiuzhou.

Early the next morning, Li Yulou got up and pulled Chuntao up by the way.

"Miss, you didn't sleep last night, why did you get up so early this morning..." Chuntao complained.

"Hurry up and fetch me water, I need to wash up and have breakfast, don't miss the time." Li Yulou urged.

Chuntao fetched water, waited on Li Yulou to wash and dress up, and after breakfast, took a carriage to the Gongyuan.

At the gate of the Gongyuan, when they arrived, it was already overcrowded and crowded.

The inn closest to the Gongyuan, the window facing the street is condescending and you can see the situation outside the Gongyuan. A bright young man is standing in front of the window, looking at the bustling crowd outside, suddenly the girl opened her eyes wide and leaned forward, " Why is Li Yulou here!"
