MTL - Correct Posture For Redemption-Chapter 26 , puppy

Si Xianchun realized that his hood had fallen off, and subconsciously approached Gu Miru, trying to hide behind Gu Miru and shrink.

The crutches in his hands fell to the ground, his shoulders hunched slightly, and he dared not raise his head. Don't dare to look at the eyes of these people, and don't dare to listen to what these people are talking about.

This scene seems to be a repeat of the nightmare that he was tricked into the street by his older brother and younger brother when he was a child, and then thrown on the street.

Si Xianchun even felt that in the next moment, someone would start throwing things at him, and those things would hurt.

But what Si Xianchun was most afraid of now was not that people would throw things, but that those things might hit Gu Miru.

Si Xianchun thought that Gu Miru should not be treated like this, she should not be implicated by herself.

Therefore, when someone raised his hand in the corner of the light, Si Xianchun's subconscious reaction was to shake off Gu Miru's hand, and then changed positions with her.

He hunched his back and faced the outside, facing Gu Miru—a protective gesture.

Gu Miru was stunned by his sudden action.

But the thing that Si Xianchun imagined was not thrown over, the person who raised his hand didn't throw anything out, he just raised his hand in surprise, pointed at Si Xianchun and said, "This... is the Si family. 's young master?"

"Is this really the young master of the Si family? The one with a strange disease?"

"This... um... it's true, my mother is in her 80s, and her hair is not so white."

After the short silence, the crowd's discussion more than doubled, but Gu Miru did not try to pull the veil again.

Instead, he raised his head and looked at Si Xianchun with burning eyes.

She received the protective action from Si Xianchun just now, and his worried expression now. The maintenance of the strong makes people feel reassuring, but the protective gesture of the weak to restrain their fear is more moving.

Gu Miru clenched Si Xianchun's hand tightly and told him in a commanding tone, "Stand up your waist and shoulders!"

Si Xianchun subconsciously obeyed Gu Miru's order.

Then Gu Miru grabbed Si Xianchun, turned around and said to the crowd, "Let me introduce to you, this is my husband - Si Xianchun."

"In the future, I hope you can take good care of you. Our butcher shop will definitely not be short of jins or two, and we plan to introduce new flavors tomorrow."

Gu Miru took Si Xianchun and took another step forward, looking at the white-haired man who claimed that his mother was eighty without Si Xianchun.

Said: "My husband doesn't have any strange disease, it's just that rumors spread because of the family business struggle in the big mansion of the Si family. The reason why he has white hair is only because his mother has the blood of Cheyueguo ."

"Presumably all the gentlemen in the business are well-informed, and they must have seen people from Cheyueguo, all such beautiful women with blue eyes and white hair."

Gu Miru put a hat on it, whoever dared to refute it was not "a knowledgeable business man."

There are not many products in this world. It is not the information age. People generally rely on books for enlightenment.

The more barren the more fearless, no one will admit that they have short-sightedness.

So after a while, someone seriously said, "Yes...that's right, people from Cheyueguo are like the young master of Changsi's family. When I went to the imperial city, I saw the beauty of Cheyueguo."

"I have also seen the portrait in the book, and the Cheyue Kingdom is indeed in the southernmost part of our country." This person barely knew a little bit, but at least he knew the existence of the Cheyue Kingdom.

Soon the crowd suddenly realized, Xu Lancui stood up and said: "I just said, it is said that the young master of the Si family has a strange disease and will be contagious. But we have been in contact for so long, isn't it all good? I heard that the young master of the Si family has infected someone, and they have different bloodlines."

There was a woman who always liked to come to the stall to buy meat, and she had a good relationship with Xu Lancui, so she stood up and said, "Isn't that right, the intrigue in the gate of the mansion turned such a handsome boy into a monster, this is really true. Sin!"

Although some people don't believe it, most of them follow what others say, and no one wants to appear uninformed and make a fuss.

So gradually more and more people praised Si Xianchun for being handsome.

Gu Miru pursed her lips slightly, squeezed Si Xianchun's hand, and looked at him sideways, her phoenix eyes were full of smiles.

The result was better than she expected, and it was much faster than she expected to let Si Xianchun come out to meet people.

Not breaking, not standing, this is not necessarily a bad thing.

Si Xianchun also slowly raised his head, and he looked around with some dazed eyes, only to find that most of the people's faces were full of surprise, but few of them had pure malice.

It was completely different from the situation back then. He even heard someone complimenting him on being so handsome and special, and complimenting him on his beautiful eyes.

Si Xianchun froze there for a while, he didn't know how to react, but when Gu Miru squeezed his hand, Si Xianchun recovered a little and looked at Gu Miru.

His eyes were clearer than today's blue sky, as if all the haze in his eyes had been swept away at this moment.

He was so excited that he didn't know what to say, so he could only hold Gu Miru's hand tightly.

However, Gu Miru took him a step forward again, and then grabbed Xu Lancui's hand with the other hand, smiled and said to Si Xianchun, "My husband has been in poor health a few days ago, otherwise he would have been in trouble. I want to introduce you to Sister Cui Cui."

Gu Miru glanced sideways at Si Xianchun and said, "This is Sister Cuicui who opened the shop with me and brought the shop back with me. She helped us a lot."

"Call Sister Cuicui." Gu Miru shook Si Xianchun's hand again.

Xu Lancui hurriedly covered her face, then waved her hand again and said embarrassedly, "Oh, don't say that, it's not a big deal, I'll help you only when I see you making real friends, and now We are also mutually beneficial."

The three of them stood on the street and greeted each other, ignoring those who were talking about it.

Some people still stopped and looked at Si Xianchun curiously all the time, but some people had already done what they should do.

A man with white hair, no matter how unusual, he is not suffering from a strange disease, but just a different bloodline. Of course, the power to attract people is not as big as a strange disease and going to the streets.

Gu Miru's peripheral vision has been observing the gradually sparse crowd, and seeing that no one really has any excessive remarks, she is completely relieved.

If someone jumped out at this time and pointed at Si Xianchun and said he was a monster, it would become another nightmare for Si Xianchun today.

The encouragement Gu Miru had told him before would all be in vain.

fortunately.

Fortunately, most people in this world have preserved their kind nature.

Even if it is mediocre and mediocre, at least it will not be inexplicably malicious to people.

Just a little guidance is fine.

Si Xianchun looked at Xu Lancui, moved his lips a moment later, and called out, "Sister Cuicui."

His current voice is no longer the hoarse voice like before, and although it is not a very deep subwoofer, it is a very clear youthful voice.

Xu Lancui snorted again, then grabbed the apron in front of her and tugged it, saying, "It's the first time I've looked at you so closely, and I usually only hear Xiaoru keep talking about you, saying that you eat well. Too few bodies can't recover fast enough, and they will cook for you in different ways."

"Look at it today, your figure is indeed a little thin, don't stand here, just wear a jacket, not even a cloak, this street is the wind... Come in the house, fast in house!"

At this time, the crowd was about the same, and there were only a few idlers who were particularly willing to join in the fun, and a few particularly stubborn old people who were still pouting and commenting on Si Xianchun.

After Xu Lancui said this, Gu Miru immediately pulled Si Xianchun and said to him, "It's windy here, let's hurry into the house, you haven't seen the store retracted, just go in and have a look. ."

"There are a few guys in the back. I'll introduce them to you today." Gu Miru bent down and picked up the cane and handed it to Si Xianchun. She smiled and said to him, "I'll cook something delicious for you tonight."

Reward him for doing well.

Si Xianchun took the crutches again, and there was still some undisturbed stiffness all over his body. He appeared to be relaxed and ordinary, but he was actually nervous to death.

He was afraid that someone would rush out at any time, revealing that he was not of Che Yue Guo's blood.

But until Gu Miru took him into the warm shop, no one jumped out to reveal his identity.

Some eyes watched him, and some old people said that it was unlucky for him to grow up like this, but it was very rare and within the range that Si Xianchun could bear.

After all, even if he is a normal person, he will not be liked by everyone.

Si Xianchun followed Gu Miru into the store, Xu Lancui pulled over a stool and wanted him to sit down, but the stool was placed against the case. The case was full of pork and bloody. , which is very incompatible with his whole temperament.

It was as if a crane had fallen into the mud.

Si Xianchun packed up and dressed up, looking very clean and extravagant.

His outline is deep, his eye sockets are deeply sunken, and the light blue in his eyes is like a puddle of flowing water, no matter where it is reflected, it makes people feel that the place is not worthy of his filth.

Zhang Wenyan saw Si Xianchun at the door just now, but when Si Xianchun completely entered the room, standing there with a kitchen knife, he was stunned.

He really had never seen this young master of the Si family before, but he only heard that he was a weird person with white hair like an old man.

But Zhang Wenyan didn't know it was such a white trick.

If a person looks like this, what's the point of having white hair?

And this wavy curly hair is a hundred times more charming than the so-called alien dancers that Zhang Wenyan once saw in Xunzhou City.

"What are you looking at? This is the young master of the Si family, Xiaoru's husband."

Gu Miru pulled Si Xianchun, pressed him to the edge of the chair and sat down, raised her chin towards Si Xianchun in Zhang Wenyan's direction, and said, "That's Brother Zhang, sister Cui Cui's husband."

"Just call me brother-in-law."

"Brother-in-law." Si Xianchun entered this warm room from outside, and the stiffness was completely left outside.

He was like a person who had never seen the sun in his life. He was suddenly exposed to the sun, and he didn't feel dazzling. He just felt that his whole body was warm and very comfortable.

When he called his brother-in-law, he even stood up on crutches, nodded slightly, and had a very respectful attitude.

He hurriedly put the kitchen knife in Zhang Wenyan's hand on the desk, rubbed his hand on the apron, inserted it into the apron a little helplessly, and said with a smile, "You're welcome, you're welcome, this shop is Xiaoru and my house. Cuicui together, we will be a family from now on."

As soon as Zhang Wenyan's words came out, he almost made Xu Lancui somersault.

What is my home cui cui?

Xu Lancui looked at Zhang Wenyan's eyes, and her eyes widened as if they were cut with a knife.

After so many years of marriage, Zhang Wenyan has never said anything sweet to her.

The only time she fooled home and brought her a pair of earrings was bought from Gu Miru. Xu Lancui knew it a long time ago.

He never said anything like "My family Cuicui", and he always addressed her by her full name.

Only when she gets into a big trouble outside will she call her Mrs.

Xu Lancui stared at Zhang Wenyan the whole time, and the sweat on Zhang Wenyan's forehead almost made her stare.

However, Zhang Wenyan glanced at Gu Miru a little vaguely, and the meaning was very obvious - I have changed my mind, don't mess with me!

Gu Miru nodded vaguely, supported Si Xianchun and said, "You must be tired. I'll help you to rest in the back first. You can watch this store later, and you will come to help in the future."

"Sister Cuicui, brother-in-law, I will help him go back first."

"Ah! Let's go!" Xu Lancui's voice was very loud, as if she was frightened.

Zhang Wenyan, who was standing beside her, shivered in fright. Si Xianchun held Gu Miru's hand tightly, and looked at Xu Lancui in a panic, thinking she was angry.

Gu Miru whispered to Si Xianchun, "Sister Cuicui is born with a loud voice, not for you."

After speaking, Gu Miru helped Si Xianchun to the backyard, and as soon as the two went out of the house, Xu Lancui directly grabbed Zhang Wenyan's ear.

With a red face, he asked him, "What did you do to me outside?! Ah! Or did you find a new concubine again?!"

"Call me one by one, or I'll chop you up if there's not enough pork to sell today!"

"Ma'am, I don't! I really don't—"

Zhang Wenyan wailed and cried out in pain, and was red-faced.

As a result, Xu Lancui didn't believe his evil at all, and twisted his ear directly and almost broke it off.

He gritted his teeth and said, "If you didn't do bad things outside, would you call me 'My Cuicui'?"

"Which Cui Cui are you calling, is that little Cui in the dark alley called Shunzui?!"

"You dare to bring me those nasty things and bring them home. Believe it or not, I ripped off your skin..."

The shouting in the house continued, and the people who came to buy meat were sticking to the wall to listen to the excitement.

Gu Miru helped Si Xianchun to the backyard, which was much smaller than the one they lived in.

Not only is it small and messy, there is a place where a few guys are unloading pork, and a pile of fake jade is piled up on the other.

There is a path in the middle, which is not too wide, and there is some blood flowing in the cracks of the masonry, and the brown ones are mixed with the soil, making it seem a little cramped and muddy.

Si Xianchun's new pure white boots stepped on it, and blood spots fell on him before he took two steps.

Si Xianchun paused slightly, looked down and frowned slightly.

Gu Miru said: "It's really not as big as the other side of the house, but it's actually very comfortable to live here. There are earth dragons in both houses. It's much more comfortable to burn at night than to burn charcoal..."

But Si Xianchun didn't think the yard was small at all, he just felt that it was a pity that a good pair of shoes had blood on it, and it would be too troublesome to clean up later.

And... Gu Miru bought these shoes for him, and Si Xianchun cherished them very much.

Gu Miru couldn't understand what he was thinking at this moment. After helping him down the path, he went through a small door and entered the back yard.

Gu Miru pointed around the row at the base of the wall and said to Si Xianchun, "Look at the yard, although it is small, there are a circle of flowers planted there. It's time to spend. Closing the window is also a secret fragrance."

"If you don't like it over there, you can choose the house here. There is a courtyard in the back, which is a little smaller than this one, so it's just right for the servants to live in."

"You see which house you like, let's you choose first."

Gu Miru smiled and supported Si Xianchun to walk slowly on the stone road.

The stone road was newly paved, the inside of the house had been tidy up, and the ground dragon had also burned.

Si Xianchun looked along the wall that Gu Miru was pointing at, and an unspeakable joy filled his heart.

Although this yard is small, Si Xianchun likes it very much.

This is the house belonging to the two of them, one of his and one of Gu Miru's.

The distance between the two houses looked like an inner room and an outer room, but it was much better than the one they lived in before, and it was better to go around a corridor to go to the next door.

The two houses were next to each other, and Si Xianchun walked in to take a look and found that the two houses were connected.

Si Xianchun slightly curled the corners of his lips, and said to Gu Miru, "I can do it."

"You should live in the east side. The sun is very sunny in the morning, and it's just enough to get up when it's on the buttocks."

Gu Miru smiled and pushed Si Xianchun's lower back, encouraging him to go over and take a look.

"Anyway, I didn't wait for the sun to rise, I got up, and I just basked in the yard."

Si Xianchun walked around the house on crutches. The furnishings were actually not that beautiful, not even the small courtyard where his mother lived.

But very cozy.

Obviously it was deliberately arranged, most places are obtuse, and there are many places wrapped in cloth, obviously because he is afraid that he will fall and knock.

There was even a blanket on the side of the bed, and the earth dragon just crossed the step stool, and the heat was blowing.

It's not hard to imagine how warm your feet would be on a step stool if you were sitting on the edge of the bed and taking off your shoes.

He walked back again and found a large bathtub in the bathroom behind.

It's not a tub but a bathtub, and it's made of jade.

Although they are all fake jade, people who don't understand jade look at it and it is no different from the real one.

Apparently newly built, the masonry on the edge of the bath was not dry.

Si Xianchun liked it very much in his heart, so he stopped hiding and said directly: "It's very good here."

Si Xianchun looked at Gu Miru and said, "I like it very much."

"As long as you like it, the quilts are all freshly laid, you go up and lie down for a while, I'll go ahead and help."

"I didn't do any work this morning. Sister Cuicui must be busy flying alone." Gu Miru rolled up the sleeve on her wrist, wetted a towel, twisted it, and handed it to Si Xianchun.

"Wipe your hands, take off your clothes and lie down on the bed." Gu Miru said, "Cui Lian will come over later. Zhang Qian and Xu Si are helping out now. If you have anything, just call them."

"Guys... I won't introduce you today, and you will get to know them gradually. They are all busy now."

Gu Miru handed the towel to Si Xianchun and quickly left the room.

Si Xianchun grabbed the cloth in his hand, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, took off his shoes and stepped on the footstool. Sure enough, the fire dragon underneath had made the footstool warm.

Si Xianchun held the cloth towel in his hand, and looked at the door, where Gu Miru left.

His heart gradually warmed up, and this warmth poured into his heart from his limbs, making him feel that everything around him seemed gentle and attentive.

Gu Miru was in front, listening to Xu Lancui's fierce talk about how she beat and scolded Zhang Wenyan and ran away, suddenly the system broadcast in her mind: [The self-destruction value of the compensation object has been detected to drop by 10%! The current self-destruction value is 40%! The achievement of intermediate redemption has been submitted to the main system to determine the quality of redemption. 】

[The main system determines that it is successful, the intermediate redemption quality level is A, and the reward points this time are 400,000. Please make persistent efforts! 】

【Ah ah ah ah! 】Gu Miru hasn't been doing well yet, the system said excitedly: "Finally I have points! Finally, I don't have to worry about my life in a short time! ahah! 】

【The quality is a! You haven't even slept with him, the host is too good for you! 】

It is estimated that there will be no a when you sleep.

Gu Miru listened to the system screaming in her head and Xu Lancui screaming in her ear.

Couldn't help laughing.

Everything was getting better and better, Gu Miru waited until Xu Lancui finished venting, and then said lightly: "My brother-in-law may not be the little Cui he called him, he hasn't been there for many days."

"I happened to pass by when I went home every day. That Xiao Cui seemed to have another relationship. Maybe my brother-in-law was heartbroken, and then the prodigal son turned back?"

As the saying goes, the prodigal son returns for nothing.

But what kind of prodigal son is also divided, the prodigal son who messes with the relationship between men and women will not look back in this life.

Their trousers were looser than the cotton trousers the old man had worn for decades.

However, if Gu Mi is confident, Zhang Wenyan will really turn back the prodigal son step by step.

It's very simple, just let him be afraid, let him be afraid, and let him not be able to lose.

Most honest men, not necessarily because they can't play, don't want to play, just can't afford it.

If she wants to rectify a man like Zhang Wenyan, Gu Miru has a means.

"Sister Cuicui, please be gentle occasionally," Gu Miru said, "My brother-in-law has a tendency to get better, so don't scare him."

It's okay to be scared, I can help you break it back.

Gu Miru said with a smile, soft words, without any lessons, let alone any sarcasm.

It's easy for people to listen to what she said. She looked at Xu Lancui, and she never felt that she was too brave and not a woman like others looked at Xu Lancui.

Gu Miru looked at Xu Lancui's eyes when she was furious, making Xu Lancui feel that she was being worshipped and treated with sincerity.

It's really like how my sister looks at her sister, without any complications other than her relatives.

Therefore, Xu Lancui really listened to Gu Miru's words, and she asked Gu Miru how gentle she should be.

Gu Miru smiled and said, "It's very simple. As long as Sister Cuicui spends all her screaming strength on selling meat during the day, she will naturally lose her voice at night when she is tired of shouting."

"Tenderness is to speak in a low voice?" Xu Lancui wondered.

Gu Miru smiled and said something in a low voice.

Then Xu Lancui gave a "Huh?" and asked, "What did you say?"

Gu Miru repeated it again. Although the voice was clear, it was very quiet. Xu Lancui couldn't help but approach and ask.

Gu Miru stretched out her hand and hooked the back of Xu Lancui's neck, almost touching the tip of her nose to Xu Lancui and said, "Isn't this gentle? If you speak in a low voice and he can't hear it clearly, he will naturally approach."

"Then..." Gu Miru tilted her head slightly and said to Xu Lancui's ear: "Then you tilted your head like this, breathing thinly and slowly, and the sound penetrated into his ear, that is, gentle words. "

"Say this in bed at night, this is pillow wind."

Xu Lancui felt a gust of hot wind blowing in from her ears, and she shivered.

Then the small pimple spread all the way from the arm to the Tianling Gai, and his eyes widened in shock.

She actually felt that this feeling was quite comfortable!

She directly gave Gu Miru a thumbs up, gestured and said, "Sister is playing on top of men, you are definitely this one!"

Gu Miru returned to the normal range and smiled, her brows were light like a lake, without the slightest ripples, the slightest fascination.

The family has already moved here, so Gu Miru doesn't have to rush to close the door early in the evening. After the meat is sold out, there is still some stewed meat soup left.

This kind of thing can't be put in tomorrow morning. Gu Miru is sitting in the store. If someone comes to buy meat, Gu Miru tells him to go back and get a bowl.

Then I presented him with a bowl of the stewed meat and brine, and asked him to go back to the stewed vegetables or to make rice, and he could eat whatever he wanted.

Occasionally an old beggar or a little beggar came over, and Gu Miru would donate a bowl of hot soup generously.

But if the other party wanted to make an inch, Gu Miru would only smile and tell him, "If you say it again, there will be no soup tomorrow."

There are many shops in Xu Lancui, and she can't patronize this one. She has to go to other shops to check accounts at night, so this shop was only half-open a few days ago and then closed.

Today, the shop was open until the end, Zhang Wenyan and Xu Lancui all left, and Gu Miru packed up in the shop by herself and settled the bill.

When it was getting dark, no one would buy meat after dinner time, and the brine soup pot at the door was already empty.

Gu Miru was about to close the store, and Si Xianchun, who had slept at this time, changed her clothes and changed back to her usual clothes.

He was supported by Cuilian and came from behind.

Gu Miru was surprised to see him coming, and asked him, "Didn't you eat? Didn't I ask Cuilian to go to the street to buy you a pie?"

"I'm too busy at night to cook for you, and there's nothing to eat in the store."

"Have you eaten?" Si Xianchun asked Gu Miru.

Gu Miru was stunned for a moment, she had been busy all the time, and she really didn't care about eating.

Just finished the calculation, and sent the remaining pork to Xu Lancui's house to make it into braised pork and sell it tomorrow.

There are two pieces of wood under the table that don't seem to fit together.

Gu Miru bent over and looked at it several times, but she really couldn't see what was wrong. She smashed it with violence, and it only sank a little.

I'm going to find a carpenter to take a look tomorrow. By the way, I made the edges of the wooden legs a little blunt. There are two places where the wood thorns. It's better to wear more clothes in winter. If you wear less clothes in summer, in the It is very easy to scrape the skin and flesh with the busy work ahead.

Gu Miru shook her head and said, "I didn't have time to eat."

Si Xianchun handed forward the thing he was carrying in his hand.

"I'll give you some food." Si Xianchun said, "I asked Cuilian to buy some sugar cakes."

Si Xianchun said, "I'm thinking...you have braised meat soup in your store, so it's good to eat with sugar cakes."

Si Xianchun said and saw the empty cauldron, and then pursed his lips.

Gu Miru sang a little song in her head.

Si Xianchun's drizzle-like care, moisturizing things silently sprinkled on people's hearts, made Gu Miru's heart very warm.

After she took the sugar cake and opened the oil paper package, she took a bite. It was still hot.

Gu Miru was scalded by the sugar and made a "hiss", smiled and said to Si Xianchun, "It's rare, you also know if I have eaten or not."

Si Xianchun was a little embarrassed by what was said, and turned around to leave with a cane.

Gu Miru hurriedly walked around in front of him and took a bite of the cake in front of him.

Then he said, "That's how you ate bread in front of me that night, the night I brought you back from that house."

Gu Miru said and learned the way he shook his neck and stared.

Si Xianchun's ears were immediately pink, and he wanted to go away from Gu Miru, but was stopped by Gu Miru again.

"Is it possible to settle accounts? There are two things I always don't quite understand, why don't you take a look at it for me?"

Gu Miru pointed to the ledger on the table not far away. Actually, there was nothing she didn't understand, so she set aside two questions to ask Si Xianchun.

Si Xianchun didn't leave in a hurry, turned around with a cane, and walked towards the place.

Gu Miru blew the cake in her hand, then raised her head, holding the cake and pouring all the sugar filling into her mouth.

She swallowed sweetly, and she narrowed her eyes slightly in satisfaction.

When her eyes narrowed, the ends of her eyes closed into two thin lines, like two slightly curved hooks.

"See what's wrong?" Gu Miru put the sugar juice on her hands into her mouth again.

Si Xianchun turned his head to look at her, and was stunned by the two hooks at the end of her eyes.

His fingers clenched the ledger, and after a while, he said, "It should be that two accounts were missed."

"Why are you looking at me like that? Do you want to eat cake? There's a lot of candy stuffing in it. Which store did you buy it from?"

Si Xianchun swallowed, nodded and shook his head.

Gu Miru laughed: "Then do you want to eat or not?"

Si Xianchun lowered his head and said, "I want to eat."

When Gu Miru walked towards him, he said in a panic, "I don't know where to buy it!"

"This candy filling is for you," Gu Miru said, "Didn't you steal one of them in the back? Don't you like sweets?"

Si Xianchun took the cake and took a bite without saying a word. After swallowing it, he slowly raised his head to look at Gu Miru.

Then asked her: "Do you like sweets too?"

Gu Miru squinted her eyes and nodded.

Who in this world doesn't like sweets?
