Chapter 72 – Trying on clothes

Disappointment well up in Li Hua’s heart when he saw how hard she was trying to avoid him. He followed after her and left the kitchen too, but he didn’t enter the hut. Instead, he only remained standing outside.

After Li Man had returned to her hut and taken a moment to calm herself down, she folded up her quilt and picked up yesterday’s clothes. Thinking that Li Hua had probably returned to the eastern hut by now, she opened the door and almost fell into his arms when she stepped out.

“You?” Li Man raised her head to look at him, but at the same time, she didn’t dare to meet his eyes. She secretly thought that it was really too disgraceful for someone of her age to feel so flustered by a youngster.

“You’re avoiding me.” Li Hua’s long eyebrows were slightly knitted as he carefully examined her.

Li Man pretended to be confused by his words. She pointed at the clothes that she was holding and asked, “Do you guys have dirty clothes? Bring them to me so that I can wash them.”

“I know that you can understand what I’m saying,” Li Hua quietly and deeply stared at her. He didn’t want to miss seeing any emotion that appeared on her face.

“Ah?” Li Man blinked. She looked as innocent as a little rabbit as she asked, “You don’t have any clothing that needs to be washed? Never mind then.”

Hugging her clothes to her chest, she went around him and entered the kitchen to pick up the pants that had Li Mo had dropped in the kitchen this morning.

Li Hua stood in the doorway and kept his gaze locked on her as he observed her every action.

Ah, what exactly did this brat want? Why was he starting at her?

Just as Li Man wanted to know seize the opportunity to show her annoyance, Li Hua said, “There are clothes. Wait here.” He entered the eastern hut and returned soon after with a bundle of dirty clothing.

“Eh.” As Li Man looked at the mountain of clothes that had been suddenly dumped into her arms, the corners of her lips twitched. He really wasn’t showing any signs of being polite.

Seeing her stunned expression, Li Hua suddenly smiled. He went back inside to the eastern hut.

Li Man’s eyelids were twitched. Were there more dirty clothes?

She saw Li Hua coming out again, but this time, he came back with new clothing.

“Here, this is for you.” He looked at her with a burning gaze. Seeing that she had a pile of dirty clothes in her arms and wouldn’t be able to accept his gift, he signaled with his eyes for her to follow him inside, then he entered Li Man’s hut.

Li Man felt foolish as she followed him inside with the dirty laundry.

Seeing that she had brought the dirty clothes inside, his frown turned into a smile as he said, “You can put that down. Come here, try these clothes.” He put down the newly made clothes on her bedside.

“It’s already done? So quick?” The new clothes immediately caught Li Man’s attention. She put down the dirty clothes, walked to the bedside, picked up the clothing and held it up to compare it against her body.

Li Hua smiled when he saw that she was as happily excited as a child. “I’ll step out. Call me back once you’re done trying the clothing. If something doesn’t fit, I’ll help you alter it.”

“En.” Touching the new clothing, Li Man felt ecstatic. As soon as Li Man had left the hut, she shook the clothes out and decided to change into the entire outfit. But as she did so, a pink piece of clothing fell out.

Eh? They hadn’t bought cloth of this color that day. It was such a vivid color too. While feeling puzzled, she hurriedly picked up the clothing. When she straightened it out to see what it was, her little face immediately became hot.

It was a pink halter top that was to be worn as an undergarment. It looked exquisite and unique. There was also a matching bottom for it.

She didn’t want to accept it, but... it was really a very practical item.

If she accepted it, then...

Aiya, why did that rotten brat make something like this for her?

Holding the clothes, Li Man felt conflicted for a period of time...
