AST 2055 - Do You Feel Anything While I Am Grabbing Your Hand?



“Cut the nonsense about me doing injustice . It’s winter now, not June!” Shen Huang shot a glare at Qing Shui .

“How many men managed to hold your hand before me?” Qing Shui changed the topic .

“Are you looking for a beating? I am not someone so random . It’s because I took pity of you and by taking into consideration that you are the person who saved my life, I decided to repay you this way . ” Shen Huang said with a calm tone .

Naturally, Qing Shui was able to figure out that he was the first man to ever walk so close to her . He was just trying to tease her .

“Big brother, would you like to buy your wife a stalk of flower? She looks so beautiful . ”

Qing Shui moved his sight onto the girl who was carrying a basket of flowers . It wasn’t his first time seeing girls like her . In fact, there were quite a lot of them across the streets . There were a lot of people living in this world . Naturally, there would be a lot of poor people, young men, and women . Under this kind of circumstances, people, no matter good or bad, generous or stingy, would buy these flowers .

“Does my wife really look beautiful?” Qing Shui squatted down and said with a smile . The little girl was only about six to seven . She might not look that pretty, but she was very cute . She had a pinkish skin and her hair was tied in a pigtail which made her look indescribably cute . In Qing Shui’s eyes, she was very good-looking and pretty like an angel .

“Yes, she is very beautiful . She may be the most beautiful woman I have ever seen . Big brother, you are very lucky to have her . ” The little girl said happily .

Qing Shui rubbed her head and immediately bought the entire basket of flower from her . This cash might mean nothing to Qing Shui, but to the little girl, it was enough for her to head home and spent her New Year with her family . If it wasn’t because she needed money, she wouldn’t have come out to sell flowers at a time like this .

“Why didn’t you give her more money? I can tell that you have only given her a bit more than what the flowers originally costed . You don’t seem to be short in money!” Shen Huang smiled and said .



“She is just an ordinary girl . I don’t wish to change her lifestyle . Besides, giving her too much will only do harm to her . There are just as many good guys as there are bad guys . She will be robbed . If she is lucky, that’s the only thing that will happen . In the worst case scenario, she may even lose her life thanks to it . ” Qing Shui shook his head and turned around to give her the flower, “This is for you . ”

“Why shall I accept your flower?” Shen Huang didn’t take it . But deep down, she felt very happy . This man was very generous and smart . She liked seeing the previous look of the man when he was talking to the little girl . There was a kind of kindness which words couldn’t describe . It felt as if he was treating her like his own daughter .

“You have seen that yourself . The little girl told me to give it to you . ”

“It is such a colorful flower, yet it won’t take long until it wilts . ” Shen Huang took over Qing Shui’s bright and colorful flowers and started observing them .

“But at least it was once bright and colorful . Nothing lasts forever in this world . ’

“It’s the New Year, let’s stop talking about this . We must make sure to celebrate our New Year happily . ” Shen Huang smiled and said .

“Sure, I am also quite lonely here . I feel very warm seeing you here with me . In any case, we are still friends, in this sea of people, it is very difficult for fate to bring us together . It takes a lot of effort to have a brief encounter between two people . Answer me, how much effort did I have to spend to have this moment with you?” Qing Shui smiled and held her hand very tightly .

“You talkative brat . ” When Shen Huang was speaking, a gentle and warm smile could be seen on her face .

Since it was the New Year, it was natural for the street to be lively . There were a lot of noisy scenes across the street . For example, some people would perform acrobatics, some would do story-telling whereas some would sing or sell some snacks which they made themselves . While walking among the crowds, the relaxed atmosphere around the place gave Qing Shui a temporary sense of peace in his heart .

“Be a bit happier and treat me as your best friend . Even though I may harbor some dirty thoughts on you, those are just thoughts . It’s not like you will lose anything from that . Rest assured, I won’t do anything to you . It doesn’t matter if they are good or bad things, you can share all of them with me . Regardless of whether you live your life happily or in sorrow, you only get to live once, why not make it worthwhile by staying happy?

“I understand what you mean . But what shall I do in order to be happy? Can you tell me why you are so happy?” Shen Huang asked in a serious tone .



“That’s the simplest question . It’s because I am holding your hand now that I am happy . ” Qing Shui lifted up her hand that he was holding .

“Why would you feel happy just by holding my hand?” Shen Huang was a bit confused and asked .

“It is natural for human beings to take fancy for beauties . Eldest mistress, you are born with an elegant and attractive look . How can I not be happy after holding your hand?” Qing Shui smiled and asked .

“But why don’t I have that kind of feelings while I am holding your hand?” Just like before, Shen Huang was still asking her questions very seriously .

At the moment, Qing Shui felt a bit hurt . He rubbed his nose with his other hand and proceeded to say, “Do you hate men?”

“I don’t know . There are a lot of men whom I hate . However, there are some who I hate a bit less, for example, you . ”

Qing Shui was really speechless . What did she mean by a bit less? What she meant by her words just now was that she still hated him, but her hatred for him was lesser compared to other men .

“Do you feel anything when I am grabbing your hand?” Qing Shui looked at Shen Huang and mumbled a few words .

“I don’t know!” Shen Huang responded in a straightforward way .

“Well then, do you like women instead?”

“Go away!” Shen Huang shot Qing Shui a glare .

Qing Shui chuckled as he continued holding her hand and walked along the street, “You are quite normal . The only problem is that you seem a bit cold generally . However, I still was able to sense something . Back when I was holding your hand, deep down, you were also feeling nervous .

“Why do you ask if you already know about it?” Shen Huang blushed . But she seemed to be really happy after hearing what he said .

“Let’s buy some stuff so that we can use it tonight when we are celebrating the New Year!” Qing Shui said while looking at the sides of the road .

“What do you want to buy?”

“A few firecrackers and fireworks . Also, we will buy some food to eat .

Following on, Qing Shui and Shen Huang bought quite a few stuff nearby . They only went back in the afternoon right before dawn approached . At the moment, he was the only person looking after the Imperial Cuisine Hall whereas the others got to celebrate their New Year with their families . In a while, the only patient would also leave . With that, the Imperial Cuisine Hall was finally able to close the day . However, if a person was to be infected with an emergency illness or anything, that person could still knock on the door of the Imperial Cuisine Hall .

Big Tiger and his mother were in the Imperial Cuisine Hall along with some servants that were hired to work in it . There were also a few more servants in the restaurant . By now, the entire manor was already decorated prosperously .

Without realizing it, the sky had turned dark . People had already started lighting up some fireworks . The bright fireworks soared up into the sky and at the instant it burst, the sky became really bright and colorful .

“Eldest mistress, let’s prepare the New Year Eve’s dinner together,” Qing Shui smiled and held her hand in a natural way .

“It seems you have really gotten used to holding my hand . ” Shen Huang said in a grumpy tone .

“Today is the last day before New Year, let me hold your hand and welcome the coming of the New Year with you . ” Qing Shui smiled and said .

Qing Shui had always been living in this manor .

Qing Shui bought some vegetables and meat . He had his own seafood and wine . Qing Shui prepared his meal very slowly this time . His main purpose wasn’t to eat them, but to enjoy the fun of cooking . Furthermore, Qing Shui also felt that he must make this woman, who was unable to cook, to get her hands on it .

“Qing Shui, I don’t know how to do it . ”

“Let me teach you!”

“Alright!”

Qing Shui taught her how to pick up the edible parts of the vegetables and the proper ways to cut them . He also told her about the shapes she should cut them into and how big they should be . After that, they began to cook .

Qing Shui left most of the work to the woman while he helped out from the side . Though that was his intention, it was no different from Qing Shui doing the majority of the work before he handed it over to her .

In any case, he had his ingredients with him . Actually, the woman also had the same ingredients . Qing Shui had at one point given them to her . However, the dishes that were prepared this time were slightly more complex, thus, Qing Shui had to teach her step by step on how to cook them . Eventually, Shen Huang also managed to learn it .

She looked very beautiful when she was preparing the dishes . It was a kind of beauty which couldn’t be described in words . Even when she was standing in the kitchen preparing some dishes, it still didn’t affect her otherworldly look . It was a very strange feeling . If she was a famous chef now, could she possibly make herself look so otherworldly? She looked very beautiful, but at the same time, she didn’t look too harmonious with what she was doing . It was precisely because she was still able to look so beautiful despite the lack of harmonious feeling which shocked Qing Shui .
