Chapter 1378: A small inn on the border
Shi Li did not urge her and let her stare at Tang Rouzhi carefully.
She didn't know why, but facing Xu Su, an ordinary cook, Tang Rouzhi felt unprecedented nervousness. She lowered her head and wrung her hands tightly together.
After a while, Xu Su laughed heartily.
"Sure! So many guests have come to our house, and I can't handle it all by myself, so I want to find someone to help! This girl looks like she can endure hardships and work hard, come with me!"
As Xu Su spoke, she reached out to pull Tang Rouzhi, but was stopped by Shi Li.
"Ms. Tang, you'd better go and talk to Mr. Zhou first, so as not to let anyone misunderstand you." Shi Li shook her head at Xu Su, then looked at Tang Rouzhi gently.
Tang Rouzhi bit her lip and finally turned back to look for Zhou Lingyu.
After she walked away, Shi Li looked at Xu Su and confirmed with her, "Can you keep an eye on her?"
"Don't worry, boss lady. I will definitely keep an eye on you under my nose!" Xu Su smiled happily, and it was obvious that she was not trying to be brave.
Only Yuan Shang, who was ignored nearby, looked unhappy.
"You know very well...if anything happens, how can I explain to Big Brother!"
"That's what you should worry about. It has nothing to do with us." Shi Li smiled happily. Suddenly, she heard the cry of an eagle. She picked up her skirt and ran back to the bedroom.
The evening breeze blew in from the open window, and an oil-paper bag appeared on the clean table.
Shi Li walked over and took a careful look, and found that there was only an oil paper package, but no letter that came with it. The smile on her face faded again, and she pursed her lips and opened the oil paper package.
Four small and delicate peach blossom cakes were neatly arranged inside, exuding the unique aroma of pastries.
Shi Li pinched a piece and threw it into her mouth, chewing while muttering coquettishly: "It's not freshly made, it's not delicious at all!"
[Tsk tsk tsk, look at the anchor's pretentious look~]
【I’m really spoiled! 】
[Forget it, let’s not talk about it. One is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten. What can we do? ]
The barrage was about how Shi Li and Xuanyuan Lin got along in the past few years, and no one was saying a word when they recalled the past.
Shi Li said "it's not delicious" but she sat at the table and ate all the peach blossom pastry without leaving a single piece.
After Xuanyuan Lin picked her up, he would go out every few days.
At first, Li was always worried that he wouldn't come back, but later, when she saw that he always came back on time, she gradually became less nervous.
But suddenly one day, Xuanyuan Lin came back a day late.
Shi Li waited at the door for a whole day. When the sun was about to set, he saw a familiar figure walking back and immediately stood up to greet him.
Xuanyuan Lin reached out and touched her head, "What's wrong? Are you afraid that I will leave and not come back?"
Shi Li raised her head to look at his face and couldn't help but hug him, but she didn't expect to hear Xuanyuan Lin's suppressed groan.
Not only did he come back late this time, he also suffered a serious knife wound on his chest.
Shi Li was scared to death. She followed him like a little tail for the next few days, fearing that he would do something to cause the wound to split open again.
Xuanyuan Lin didn't get angry, and every time he told her not to worry with a helpless look on his face.
"I'm worried." Shi Li answered through gritted teeth, frowning. Xuanyuan Lin had never told her what he was going to do outside, so she didn't ask, but he was injured this time, how could she not worry.
A few days passed like this, and when Xuanyuan Lin called her "little wife" again, Shi Li finally couldn't help it and raised her eyes to look at him intently.
"So when are you going to marry me?"
With just one sentence, Xuanyuan Lin was so frightened that he took three steps back, his face looking as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
Shi Li mustered up her courage and took another big step towards him, holding her head high and choking, "You always call me your wife, and now I'm moved, do you still want to flirt with me and deny it?"
The young man, who looked like a playboy, blushed in an instant, opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single useful word.
In a panic, he turned around and hid in the study, not coming out for the whole day.
Shi Li sat on the steps outside the study, holding her cheek with one hand and looking at the sky.
[Anchor, you scared me~]
[It felt like all 206 bones in Xuanyuan Lin's body were filled with panic just now hahaha~]
[Come on, anchor! It’s easy for a girl to chase a boy! I’m rooting for you! ]
When the setting sun covered the entire courtyard, the door of the study finally opened and Xuanyuan Lin walked out.
Shi Li turned around and met his eyes.
"Miss Shi, I was wrong before. I don't dare to make such a joke. I apologize to you."
Xuanyuan Lin bowed very solemnly.
Shi Li: ...
Does she want an apology???
