Lu Bocheng looked at Su Qingyu and was so fixed that she trembled.
He hurriedly sniffed it…
Bah, he didn’t go to drink or go to the flower house, so what kind of smell could there be? As for something like that. Without looking at her, he ran to the bamboo couch and leaned on it.
“Wu Shi didn’t act like a monster during dinner today, did she?” he asked, lying down comfortably and resting his head on his hands.
Su Qingyu didn’t answer and looked at him.
Lu Bocheng touched his nose and cursed, what did she want to hear, what did she want to ask?
“I went to the Yangwei Martial Arts Hall to have dinner with my master and brothers.”
Women just like to ask questions and inquire about men’s whereabouts, for fear that men will run away to meet women. Tsk, that was true. Just like Wu Shi, every time his father came back she would ask endless questions about his whereabouts and details, tsk tsk, woman.
Lu Bocheng cursed, and after finishing speaking, he was puzzled when he saw that Su Qingyu still didn’t speak. He confessed it, and it was true, and he didn’t hide anything. Why was she still not satisfied?
“I…”
He just started, but was interrupted by Su Qingyu: “Why don’t you have a piece of paper or ink in your room? Where are the books you read before?” Su Qingyu said lightly.
When Lu Bocheng heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. Just to put it bluntly, how could his woman be like Wu Shi and other common people who caught a man and asked questions, which was annoying.
“Oh, those, I put them away. I got angry when I looked at them, and I remembered that my father told me that I was not as good at studying as Lu Bozu, that bastard, and asked me to learn more from him. Just learn from him, learn from his yin and yang weirdness! If you are bored and want to read a book, I’ll look for it. Liu Juye’s family is a scholar and he has some books at home. If you want to read them, I’ll borrow them for you.”
Su Qingyu rolled her eyes after hearing this. After another pause, she found that she rolled her eyes more often when meeting this guy.
She said calmly: “Find me some pen, ink, and paper tomorrow.”
“What for?” Lu Bocheng turned around and asked.
“Why were you bothering me? Asking so many questions. Didn’t you want military books?”
Lu Bocheng suddenly turned over the book, ran towards her in a few steps, and put his big face close to her: “You got it back? Show it to me quickly. Let me take a look!”
Su Qingyu pushed his face away disdainfully, “No, earlier it was burnt accidentally in the kitchen fire.”
“What! How could your family be so…”
“Stop talking nonsense.”
“Yes, but you said it was burnt in a fire?”
“I’ll secretly write it for you!”
“Ah? You, you can secretly write it? All of it? Not missing a single word?” Lü Bocheng was amazed and stared at Su Qingyi, trying to figure out if her words were true.
“Do you want it or not?”
“Yes, yes, yes! I’ll arrange everything for you right away!”
“It’s too late!”
“No problem, I’ll go to Lü Bo’s main house to get it! It’ll be quick!” With that, he dashed off in a flash.
This guy, is truly, all talk and no action.
After a while, Lu Bocheng came in like the wind again, carrying a large bundle of paper and an inkstone and pen. There were several pens, with different nibs and peak lengths, and they were available in large, medium, and small sizes.
“Are you sure you didn’t just plunder all the treasures from Lü Bo’s main house?”
Lu Bocheng raised his head: “My father paid for it, and it is not his.”
“You are using gangster logic.” She said as she walked over to inspect and select a brush.
She chose a small-sized brush, laid out the paper, and was about to grind the ink when he snatched it away, saying, “Let me do it. You just focus on the content, don’t get distracted, and don’t miss anything. Missing something would be a grave mistake.”
“You even know about ‘a grave mistake’? Tut tut…”
“Tsk, it sounds like I am illiterate. I was also very talented in reading when I was a child.”
“Yes, you’re quite talented—enticing cats, teasing dogs, drinking in flower towers, arranging fights, the kids on the street all hide when they see you.”
“You! You! That’s not who I am. It’s all rumors spread by others. I’ve said it before, I only drink clear alcohol, nothing else. And as for fighting, if others don’t provoke me, would I fight them? If I didn’t fight, how could my master take notice of me? If my master didn’t take notice of me, how could I go to the martial arts school to learn skills?”
The two of them were joking and began to write a military book. One wrote and the other polished the ink. The room was unusually harmonious…
Until the cicadas chirped and the birds chirped and the summer morning dawned, Su Qingyu finally finished writing more than 6,000 words. A total of thirteen chapters of “Sun Tzu’s Art of War” were written.
Her hands were almost broken.
Lu Bocheng rubbed her wrist and used a hot towel to apply heat to her. Although his hands and feet were diligent, his mind was not on it. His eyes were astonishingly bright, staring at the papers spread out on the table as if staring at a treasure that glowed with colorful golden light.
Su Qingyu felt sleepy at this moment, pushed him away, and walked to the bed.
“Watch it for yourself first. I’m going to sleep first. If you don’t understand, wait until I wake up.”
Lu Bocheng nodded repeatedly and diligently went over to help her lift the curtain and spread the quilt: “You sleep, you sleep, I will see for myself. If you don’t understand, I’ll go find Master to study it.”
Su Qingyu reacted quickly and grabbed him, saying, “Look at it yourself. It’s probably better if the world doesn’t see it.”
Lü Bocheng was momentarily stunned, but then he understood and nodded repeatedly, “Alright, I’ll look at it myself. I won’t go anywhere. I’ll just stay in the room and look.”
Su Qingyu glanced at him sleepily: “You don’t want to sleep?”
Lu Bocheng shook his head: “I’m not sleepy, you can sleep.” She covered herself with the quilt.
Su Qingyu glanced at him and saw that he was in high spirits and there was no trace of fatigue or sleepiness in his eyes, so she had to let him go and fell asleep with her head tilted.
When she woke up hungry, she found the man sitting at the table, looking like he was in a trance.
“You’re not asleep?”
“Are you awake?” Lu Bocheng turned to look at her. He then ran over and lifted the curtain.
Su Qingyu looked at his eyes, which were full of blood, and said, “I’m hungry. Go see if Aunt Zhou has left any food for us and bring it to the room to eat.”
Lu Bocheng then realized that he had not eaten breakfast or lunch. When Su Qingyu said that she was also very hungry, he rushed out of the house: “I’ll get it.”
After a while, as soon as Su Qingyu finished washing, Lu Bocheng ran back with two food boxes.
“I didn’t even notice it unless you told me, but now I realize that I’m so hungry that my chest touches my back.” As he spoke, he put the rice in the food box and called Su Qingyu over to eat.
The guy didn’t know whether he was hungry or something, but he was picking up the rice very quickly as if he was about to be robbed.
Su Qingyu couldn’t see it and patted the back of his hand: “You are rushing to reincarnate and eating so fast! It affects my mood when dining.”
Lu Bocheng paused and said: “Master said that you must eat fast on the battlefield. Otherwise, the war drums may sound before you finish eating. I don’t want to starve to death. Besides, eat quickly. There are still many things I don’t understand.”
Hearing that he didn’t want to be a starving ghost on the battlefield, Su Qingyu felt a pang of sadness and pity. But then he urged her to eat, so she quickly suppressed her emotions. “I’ll eat slowly, no need to rush.”
After the meal was finished, Lu Bocheng collected the bowls and chopsticks attentively and quickly carried them to the kitchen. As soon as he came back, he pulled Su Qingyu to sit at the table.
