Chapter 145 The Taste of Mom
The character of Xiang Fei was fictionalized in the TV series, but she did have a prototype in history.
Her prototype did not have the special ability to attract butterflies. She was just a unique one among Qianlong's many concubines because of her minority identity.
Xia Miao explained to He Shu while laughing, and He Shu then realized that Xia Miao was teasing him.
"Then why do you smell so good?"
"Maybe it's the shampoo, shower gel, or the fact that girls don't exercise as much as boys and don't sweat as much?"
Xia Miao secretly said to He Shu: "In fact, if you don't take a shower after sweating, you will still stink."
He Shu didn't quite believe it: "I remember my mother used to smell good even when she was sweating profusely in the summer."
Upon hearing this, Xia Miao held He Shu's hand and said, "Because that's my mother's scent, it must smell good..."
The taste of mom?
He Shu nodded and said nothing more. He missed his mother a little and suddenly realized that the smell of his mother seemed to have faded a lot in his memory...
Xia Miao seemed to know what he was thinking and just held He Shu's hand tightly.
When buying clothes for He Shu yesterday, Xia Miao discovered that there was a two-inch photo of his mother in He Shu's wallet.
She knew that she could never replace the place that He Shu's mother held in his heart, and she only hoped that one day, He Shu would have a photo of her in his wallet.
The two took the bus back to the school. Maybe the road and weather were not very good today, so there were not many people on the bus.
They went to sit in the back seat, holding hands all the way.
When we got near the school, we walked back leisurely, carrying our things.
"Go to your school cafeteria to eat, and then go back to the dormitory after you finish eating."
Xia Miao nodded in agreement, and the two returned to Dadu College.
The cafeteria at Dadu College is no worse than that at Huaqing, and there are many choices for breakfast.
After asking He Shu what he wanted to eat, Xia Miao bought him fried eggs and milk, and bought herself a bowl of century egg and lean meat porridge and small fried dough sticks.
As soon as the two of them found a seat to sit down, they saw Zhou Xiaoduo and Li Qiutong coming over.
"Xia Miao, tell me the truth. Where did you go last night?"
The two of them smiled slyly. Zhou Xiaoduo said to He Shu, "He Shu, you took our Xia Miao out for the night. You must be responsible for Xia Miao in the future."
He Shu looked at Xia Miao and nodded.
Xia Miao quickly got up and pushed them away: "Stop talking nonsense here, go buy food."
After sending the two roommates away, Xia Miao told He Shu not to mind it. He Shu nodded and lowered his head to eat.
Regardless of whether they did nothing or not, he was still responsible for Xia Miao.
After a while, Zhou Xiaoduo and Li Qiutong came over after buying breakfast and insisted on sharing a table with them.
Then they started to interrogate Xia Miao and asked her where they went yesterday.
There was nothing to hide, Xia Miao said happily that she went to the amusement park yesterday, and because she had a night show in the evening, she stayed in the hotel in the park.
Li Qiutong was envious: "I have never been to Taipei before."
Zhou Xiaoduo hugged Li Qiutong's arm and said, "I'll go with you next time, but you have to pay for it."
Li Qiutong rolled her eyes: "I won't bring you if I'm treating you, I'll bring a handsome guy."
The two of them started laughing and joking. He Shu finished his meal quickly and told Xia Miao that he was going back to school first.
Zhou Xiaoduo smiled and asked him to stay: "Handsome He Shu, why are you in such a hurry? The holiday isn't over yet , are you not going to date Xia Miao anymore?"
He Shu smiled and shook his head: "The weather is bad today, let's do it another day."
Xia Miao stood up and pulled the bag from He Shu's hand: "Give these to me, I'll wash them and send them to you."
"No, I'll wash it myself."
"Let me try it. I just bought a new laundry detergent. It smells really good. I'm sure there will be no odor after washing."
He Shu didn't want Xia Miao to wash his clothes, but Xia Miao held on tightly, so he had to let go.
"Just throw it in the washing machine. Cotton clothes are too heavy to wash after being soaked in water."
Xia Miao smiled sweetly: "Okay, I know, let's go back. Be careful of cars when crossing the road."
He Shu said yes, and Zhou Xiaoduo and Li Qiutong who were eavesdropping nearby nodded, then turned and left.
After returning to her seat, Zhou Xiaoduo rummaged through her bag and asked, "How come you ended up with dirty clothes ?"
Xia Miao glanced at their breakfast and suppressed a sly smile: "Do you really want to know?"
Seeing their gossipy faces, Xia Miao described in vivid detail how the clothes became dirty.
After saying that, Li Qiutong was so angry that she wanted to hit Xia Miao. She had completely lost her appetite.
Xia Miao laughed and ran out carrying He Shu's clothes: "I'm going back to the dormitory first."
When Li Qiutong and Zhou Xiaoduo finished their meal and went back to find Xia Miao, Xia Miao had already washed He Shu's clothes.
He Shu had already cleaned all the dirty places yesterday. Today she just soaked them in detergent, washed them in the washing machine and spun them dry.
After washing, Xia Miao almost stuck her body to the clothes and smelled them carefully, but this time she really couldn't smell anything.
Zhou Xiaoduo grinned as she watched: "Hey, you're still smelling it, and you don't find it disgusting."
"Just smell it. Wow, it smells so good."
Li Qiutong poured herself a cup of hot water and sat down on the bed, "Xia Miao, did you and He Shu have sex last night?"
"Which one?"
"Hey, that's the one? You two are sharing a room, so you must have contributed yourself."
Zhou Xiaoduo also came over with great interest, and even got a handful of melon seeds from somewhere: "Hurry up and tell me, we will definitely keep it a secret."
"I'm sorry to disappoint you. We didn't have anything. We just slept together."
Li Qiutong and Zhou Xiaoduo didn't believe it at all. They checked into a room, slept in a bed, and did nothing?
Seeing that they didn't believe her, Xia Miao didn't explain much and just let it go.
Li Qiutong looked at Xia Miao and felt that she didn't seem to be reluctant to speak out of embarrassment: "Xia Miao, did He Shu really not touch you?"
"Yes, my He Shu is a gentleman, not what you think."
"Pfft, such a gentleman..." Zhou Xiaoduo giggled.
Li Qiutong suddenly remembered something: "Xia Miao, you don't know yet? Sun Yuanyuan is also dating."
The smile on Xia Miao's face disappeared: "Oh."
What does Sun Yuanyuan’s relationship have to do with her?
Seeing this, Zhou Xiaoduo advised: "Xia Miao, Sun Yuanyuan told us that the incident was a misunderstanding. How could she steal your boyfriend?"
Xia Miao's face turned cold: "Let's not talk about that. What disgusts me is her double-dealing and her false accusation against He Shu."
"Okay, I won't say any more. Look at you, you're still getting anxious with us."
Anyway, Xia Miao felt upset whenever that matter was mentioned. If it weren't for the trouble of changing dormitories, and if Zhou Xiaoduo and Li Qiutong were not so bad, Xia Miao would have changed long ago.
…
On the other side, He Shu returned to the dormitory and Feng Haoxiang was sleeping.
I heard the door open and opened my eyes to take a look.
"Come back in the morning again?" He Shu asked.
Feng Haoxiang nodded: "Brother Shu, you didn't come back last night?"
"Well, I played too late and didn't make it back in time."
Feng Haoxiang instantly perked up: "So you and your girlfriend went to get a room?"
He Shu knew what he wanted to ask, so he walked to his bed and pressed his head onto the bed: "Go back to sleep, there's no gossip for you to hear."
Feng Haoxiang chuckled when he heard this, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.
However, he also knew that if He Shu himself didn't want to talk, he wouldn't be able to get anything out of him.
"Have you had breakfast? Do you want me to buy you one?" He Shu changed his clothes, put the new clothes he had bought into the basin, and prepared to wash them.
"No need, Brother Shu ." Feng Haoxiang yawned, turned over and muttered a few words: "I'll sleep until noon and then go down to eat."
"Okay." Seeing this, He Shu took the basin and the laundry detergent to the bathroom to wash clothes, and also helped Feng Haoxiang close the door.
