Everyone please leave, we’re closed now.” Qing Shui smiled bitterly at the rest of the customers.
The customers only cast a glance at each other as they let out understanding smiles and left.
“Qing Shui, are you okay? Seeing you like this makes me feel pain in my heart, this pain is even worst when compared to if i’m the one being looked down on.” Huoyun Liu-Li walked to his side as she said lightly.
The second sentence, “My parents want you to have dinner at my house, I wonder if will you turn up.” Canghai Mingyue lightly added.
Qing Shui smiled bitterly as he walked in front of one of the shelf. “Come and try these on, you would be surprised at how fast you can run.”
The two girls, “… ”
“This boots are so beautiful, I love it!” Huoyun accepted a pair.
Canghai Mingyue didn’t accept them right away, she stood there with a questioning gaze in her eyes as she stared at Qing Shui.
“These two pair of boots were created for you both. Temporarily, please bear with the quality. However, the effects are still quite good, try it and you will know.” Qing Shui shrugged.
“I’m going to wear it now!” Huoyun Liu-Li exclaimed in excitement.
Qing Shui then turned his gaze onto Canghai Mingyue, only to see a struggle in her eyes.
“Don’t worry, this is just merely me wanting to gift something to both of you, I won’t expect anything in return.” Qing Shui rubbed his nose as he laughed awkwardly. It would truly be depressing if a girl rejects something a guy worked so hard to gift to her.
Canghai Mingyue was as though she knew what he was thinking about, she extended her hands and accepted the pair of boots from Qing Shui. She couldn’t help silently admire its beauty and her heart slightly warmed when she thought of the fact that this was created specially for her with his very own hands.
“Huh, this can increase my speed?” Huoyun exclaimed in wonder. Qing Shui turned his head as he nodded. Looking at the dainty legs of Huoyun Liu-Li wearing his boots, he involuntarily felt a comfortable feeling in his heart. After all, these boots of his were forged with the intention to only allow beautiful women to equip.
“To think that it could actually increase my speed by 10%. Oh my God, how did you forge this Qing Shui?” Huoyun Liu-Li danced about wielding a sword.
“Sister Mingyue, look I can do it now!”
The sword that Huoyun was using now was the first sword Qing Shui had forged. That graceful figure of hers moved like the clouds in the skies, her sword strikes like flood dragons, spinning about in the air, interweaving left and right like an agile snake in the grass, moving forward with a gentle waver!
Qing Shui stared at her dumbstruck. Canghai Mingyue was also seriously looking at Huoyun. After a while, she turned her gaze to the beautiful boots in her hands.
After a while, Huoyun stopped, as a sheen of perspiration could be seen on her face. Her face grew red as she stare unblinkingly at Qing Shui, it was unknown whether was she excited or embarrassed.
“I’ll prepare even better ones for you girls in the future.” Qing Shui laughed as he walked in the direction of the exit, preparing to leave.
“Do you meet people like those type who came here earlier every day?” Canghai Mingyue wasn’t someone who liked to talk a lot, this should only be her third sentence.
The first sentence, “Let’s go home, why do you have to stand here and suffer the supercilious looks of others!?”
The second sentence, “My parents want you to have dinner at my home, i wonder if will you turn up.”
Thinking of the two sentences by Canghai Mingyue, Qing Shui gazed at Canghai Mingyue with a hint of shock in his eyes. However, he couldn’t tell anything from the countenance of her.
“Nope, do I look like someone who is easily taken advantage of? Thank you for showing concern for me.” Qing Shui laughed.
Canghai Mingyue silently regarded Qing Shui, without saying anything. Qing Shui could only laugh awkwardly, but still, from the eyes of Canghai Mingyue, Qing Shui could already feel a slight change for her feelings towards him.
How he wanted to go back to the days of before where he teased her, calling her yueyue and seeing her expression of shyness. Now, Qing Shui could feel a widening distance between him and her, and it didn’t seem possible for him to be able to bring back the past where he could still joke with her.
—————————–
The blacksmith store was only half a street away from the Canghai Residence. Huoyun Liu-Li walked in front, leading the way. She walk sometimes and ran at others, testing out the enhancement effects of her new pair of boots. It would be strange if she didn’t fully immerse herself in testing the effects after obtaining such a wonderful pair of boots.
The Canghai Couple were very happy when they saw Qing Shui. However, when they noticed their daughter’s coolness regarding Qing Shui, they were helpless to do anything too
“Qing Shui, how are you faring recently? Why didn’t you come and visit us?” Canghai’s wife gently asked.
