Chapter 899: Childhood Sweethearts

Chapter 899: Childhood Sweethearts

In the days that followed, Li Yuan sneaked out to play as usual, which always made Mrs. Li angry, but she could do nothing about the child.

Li Dagui was worried, but he didn't want his wife to know about his son's strange condition, so as not to ruin the good atmosphere of the family. So he always followed Li Yuan secretly and watched him go out to do various things.

Only then did he realize that his son had never been playful. Every time he went out, he seemed to have an unspeakable telepathy. He would appear in the mountains and mud, run to various places, and rescue some trapped animals or people in accidents.

From doing it himself, which required rolling in the mud, to increasingly magical and indifferent actions. Whenever Li Yuan appeared in a certain place, a breeze would blow nearby, or a light rain would fall, or the river would surge on its own, helping the creatures in distress to escape their predicament.

The more Li Dagui watched, the more frightened he became. He almost thought that his son was the reincarnation of an immortal. He almost fell to his knees when he saw some of the miraculous scenes.

However, as a father, he noticed that Li Yuan's behavior was becoming more and more mature, and the confusion in his eyes was becoming more and more obvious, as if he was slowly losing track of who he was, and began to doubt the identity and meaning of his existence.

However, Li Dagui is not good at speaking and does not know how to approach Li Yuan and improve the relationship between father and son. He can only cover up for Li Yuan and use white lies to maintain the peace of the family.

Only when facing Li Yue'er and other children of the same age next door, such as Shen Nianxi, will this child show his proper innocence and childishness.

Moreover, his wife had already reminded him that the little girl next door, Shen Nianxi, had a natural close relationship with his son, which always felt strange...

However, Li Dagui is willing to give everything as long as he can maintain Li Yuan's innocence and let him grow up slowly and little by little.

Even if this child is really the reincarnation of an immortal, he hopes that his son can have a complete and happy childhood. This is the most sincere wish in the heart of a parent.

......

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another five or six years have passed.

As the Li family became more and more prosperous, Li Dagui's life soared and he soon became the supreme general of this country. He was deeply trusted by the emperor, commanded an army of 100,000 and was the most famous person at the time.

The Shen family, which is very famous throughout the eastern Shenzhou, struck while the iron was hot with the Li family and arranged a marriage between the eldest son of the Li family and the daughter of the Shen family.

In the Shen family compound covering an area of ​​1,000 acres.

"Idiot, tell me why!"

A spoiled young girl was pulling Li Yuan's sleeve. She had red lips, white teeth, a face as white as jade, eyes as pure as glass, and a tiny teardrop mole at the corner of her right eye, which made her whole face look pitiful.

This face looks very gentle, full of the gentle temperament of a lady from a noble family, but for a girl of this age, it is full of liveliness and activity, which adds a bit of nobility and pride.

The girl has fair skin and a slightly tall figure. Although she is still young, she has the brilliance of early spring.

This girl was naturally the daughter of the Shen family, Shen Nianxi. She was given this name because she was born in Xiyuan Town.

Shen Nianxi exudes a peony-like nobleness from head to toe. Having grown up in the wealthy Shen family, she has no worries about food and clothing, and is cared for by her clan, enjoying all the blessings.

Only Li Yuan, the idiot, has always made her angry since childhood. His thoughts are jumpy and stupid, and no one knows what is going on in his mind.

Seeing that the two families had already made an engagement, Shen Nianxi was shy. Although she was secretly happy in her heart, she never expressed her opinion and acted as if she was obeying the family's arrangements.

But she hadn't asked Li Yue'er to pass on the message yet, and this idiot actually came over and said that this was inappropriate!

Shen Nianxi exploded at that moment, and ordered several burly attendants to capture the idiot Li Yuan on the spot.

The younger generations of the two families had been close since childhood and often joked and played pranks. The servants were used to it and were not afraid of Master Li getting angry, so they tied him up and sent him to the room of their own daughter.

Hence, there was this "accountability" discussion.

"Silly, you and I have known each other since we were little. People outside... people outside say that we are childhood sweethearts, and we are... a match made in heaven!"

"Tell me, why is it that you don't like me?!"

Miss Shen is no longer the kind of person who would let herself be wronged as in her previous life. In this life, she lives in happiness and love, and is even more proud and confident.

Li Yuan was tied up tightly with ropes, and Shen Nianxi grabbed the collar and shook him non-stop, and he almost vomited.

Although he gradually discovered his own peculiarities, this body was still of the strength of a normal person. He would feel pain when being beaten, and his hands and feet would still feel numb when being tied up.

"S-Stop shaking...I'm going to puke!"

Seeing that Li Yuan was about to vomit, Shen Nianxi stuck out her tongue, put him straight, untied the ropes, and helped him to breathe smoothly.

"Then tell me, why do you reject this marriage?"

Miss Shen sat on the edge of the bed, her hands on her hips, looking determined that she would not let him go until he could explain the reason.

"no......"

"Thirteen years old. We are only thirteen years old. Do you know that we are underage? This is against the law!"

Li Yuan sat on a large red-painted bench, rubbed his sore hands, and then stretched his legs to the edge of the bed with impunity, almost putting them in Shen Nianxi's arms.

Shen Nianxi did not hesitate to give Li Yuan a roll of her eyes, and very naturally helped him rub his sore ankle. Her fingers were nimble, and her strength was moderate. She looked gentle and kind, like a little bird, which was completely different from how she was just now.

"What do you mean by underage? What do you mean by breaking the law? When did such a law come into being?"

The elders all get engaged at around this age, and hold wedding banquets after two or three years. This has been the custom since ancient times. Shen Nianxi didn't understand why Li Yuan said it was against the law?

After calming down a little, the daughter of the Shen family, who had lost her arrogant mood, gently rubbed Li Yuan's ankles, emitting an extremely gentle aura from the inside out, which made the usually unruly Li Yuan stunned for a moment.

After thinking about it, Li Yuan scratched his head, also a little confused, and covered his forehead: "Uh... I don't know, but I always feel that this is not right."

Seeing Li Yuan hesitating and unable to explain clearly, Shen Nianxi was so angry that she wanted to hit him, but she was reluctant to do so. She rolled her eyes and turned away.

Although she is still young, she is actually quite charming.

"So...idiot, do you like me or not?"

Having known each other since childhood, Shen Nianxi was not too restrained in front of Li Yuan. At this moment, she leaned sideways, her fingers unconsciously pinching the corner of the quilt, her face flushed, and she asked this question boldly.

Li Yuan's eyes were locked on her, as if they had gone through a hazy change, sometimes simple, sometimes profound.

That look was sometimes gentle, sometimes apologetic, as if there was another person hidden deep in the soul.

"I don't know why, but I always feel like I owed you something in my past life..."

"I think, probably, I like it..."
