The reborn emperor, you are dismissed

Chapter 42
The little beauty cherished the sesame cake, and was just about to lower her head to take a bite when her skirt was torn off by a small hand.

A somewhat scruffy child hugged her leg, and there was a little dirt on the clean clothes.

Seeing her startled for a moment, he squatted down and asked softly, "Little brother, what's the matter?"

The child pointed to the sesame cake in her hand, and hesitated: "Well... I want to eat it."

She smiled without hesitation, and handed it over directly: "Here."

But the child didn't eat it right away, he lowered his head and said: "Father is dead, mother is seriously ill, and I have a younger sister who has been hungry for several days, one cake is not enough."

He frowned. This kid was lying. Although he was dressed in rags, his skin was plump. He didn't look like he had been starving all year round.

He must have been instructed by an adult to cheat, but he couldn't fool the neighbors, so he specially picked this kind of ignorant little girl to start with.

The little beauty looks stupid, she is probably going to be fooled.

Sure enough, the girl who had finished giving the cakes started to take out her purse again. The purse swayed downward for a long time, and a small piece of silver fell out, which was pitifully small.

"I'm sorry, my sister only has so much." Her face flushed slightly, and she was really ashamed that she couldn't help more.

The child may not have expected that the elder sister, who looks so glamorous on the surface, is actually so poor, and is a little dumbfounded.

"Take it, buy a few meat buns for my sister." She said, and put the broken silver into the child's other hand.

At this time, an old lady who was setting up a stall at the entrance of the alley couldn't stand it, and shouted: "Girl, don't pay attention to him, he is a little liar!"

Hearing this, the child held the cake in one hand and the money in the other, and ran away quickly.

"Hey, be careful of falling!" She was stunned for a moment, then got up unhurriedly, and patted the sesame residue on her hands.

The aunt sighed: "Girl, this child is a habitual offender. I heard that his family is in the suburbs, and his parents are still alive."

"Ah, that's great."

The aunt thought that there was something wrong with her ears, so she asked suspiciously, "What did you say, girl?"

She broke into a flowery smile: "Actually, I know he is lying, but what if something is true, if, as the aunt said, father and mother are still alive, free from illness and pain, then of course it would be even better."

Boom—this smile, like a small stone, fell into the lake of his heart for no reason, causing waves of ripples.

"I'm afraid I'm not stupid." The aunt turned her head away muttering, and continued to work on her own affairs.

I don't know if the girl heard this sentence, maybe she did, but she didn't care.

The cakes were gone, and the money was gone. She fiddled with the corners of her clothes with her hands hanging in front of her, looked at the cake stalls several times, and pursed her lips, looking very pitiful.

He couldn't help laughing, guessing that her companions probably didn't finish picking out the cloth so quickly, and strode towards the bakery.

But when he squeezed out of the line holding two hot sesame pancakes and turned around to look for her, she was nowhere to be seen.

"Yue, what are you doing here, why don't you go upstairs?" The friend looked at him strangely.

"Wait a minute." Reluctantly, he ran into the cloth shop again and walked around, but there was still no sign of the beautiful woman except for a few admiring looks.

"What kind of cake is this? It smells delicious." His friend had a good personal relationship with him, so he planned to reach out and take one away.

He refused very stingily: "If you want to eat, buy it yourself."

That day, his friends were drinking and eating vegetables, but he slowly finished two sesame cakes by himself.

Well, it's really fragrant and delicious, with a touch of sweetness, just like that little girl's smile.

When they met for the first time, he hadn't felt that he wanted her, but he was a little bit regretful.

Thinking, if we can meet again, we must come forward and say a few words.
