Chapter 1384: A small inn on the border
No one expected that Tang Rouzhi was such a good at taking advantage of every opportunity, and she hooked up with Zhou Heng in a short while.
Shi Li finished her almond cake leisurely and prepared to go upstairs to see if Yingsun had replied. Just as she took a step forward, she was stopped by Zhou Lingyu.
He had adjusted his mood, and smiled politely and gently at Shi Li like a nobleman, saying, "This is my first time doing business here. Can I ask the boss lady for advice on things here?"
Shi Li frowned inwardly. To be honest, she really didn't want to talk to Zhou Lingyu, but it seemed not good to not satisfy such a small request from a guest who came to her house.
While he was struggling, Xu Su's loud voice came over -
"What do you want to ask, Mr. Zhou? I can answer them all. I grew up here and I know much more than the boss lady!"
Xu Su walked out of the small kitchen and saw this scene. She walked over and stood between Shi Li and Zhou Lingyu in a forceful manner.
"Susu is right. If Mr. Zhou wants to know anything, you can ask her. She knows more about this place than I do!"
Shi Li smiled, and without waiting for Zhou Lingyu to say anything, she fluttered in her red skirt as she walked past them and up the stairs.
Yuan Shang glanced at everyone coldly and followed closely.
Zhou Lingyu could only watch the opportunity to chat with the proprietress slip away.
The table in front of the window was empty; the falcon had never come back.
Shi Li took a look, sighed, picked up a purse skillfully, poured out a handful of roasted melon seeds and started to eat them.
"My brother has been gone for more than ten days. When will he come back with the betrothal gifts for me?"
At that time, Xuanyuan Lin suddenly realized something after being hinted at by Yuan Shang, and he hurried out to look for Shi Li.
Shi Li was drinking and chatting with a group of friends he made in the small town.
Having been here for a long time, she has somewhat picked up the casual and unrestrained nature of the locals. She holds a glass of wine and laughs freely and happily.
When Xuanyuan Lin found her, he saw the boy who had given her the tree crown last time was also there. His eyes were quietly chasing Shi Li, and the boy's burning love for her could not be hidden at all.
Shi Li naturally saw him, put down her glass and stood up in surprise, "Brother, are you here to drink too?"
She tilted her head and introduced him to the little sisters around her without any hesitation, "This is my brother. He saved my life and treats me very well."
Several tipsy girls looked at Xuanyuan Lin, smiled and joked with him, asking him if he was worried about his sister.
One of them was even bolder. He walked directly to Xuanyuan Lin, circled around him, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Lili will be fine if she plays with us. We grew up together and we all like Lili very much."
As she spoke, she deliberately glanced at the young man who delivered the tree crown. Everyone understood what she meant.
Xuanyuan Lin's face was calm, but his fingers hanging in his sleeves clenched unconsciously.
He took a long breath, ignored the others, and said to Shi Li in the calmest tone possible: "I'll take you home."
"Hmm?" Shi Li tilted her head and looked at Xuanyuan Lin innocently, "But our party today isn't over yet. Don't worry, they will take me back."
[Hahahaha, the anchor has learned bad things hahaha~]
[The host has a lot of little thoughts~]
[How can you say that about the anchor? ? ? It was Xuanyuan Lin's abacus beads that fell on my face~]
[That’s right! Someone is jealous, I won’t tell you who it is hehehe~]
Xuanyuan Lin almost never thought that he would be rejected by Shi Li, and the light in his eyes dimmed.
After a moment of silence, he unconsciously lowered his voice, "It's okay, I'll wait for you outside."
After he said that, he turned and walked out.
[Anchor! This is definitely a self-torture tactic, don’t be easily shaken! ]
[Right, right, right! Think about how he rejected you in the first place, and don’t waver! ]
[Cannot be shaken + ID number! 】
The comments were all about watching the fun and not fearing trouble. They cheered and swiped Night Pearl in an attempt to consolidate Shi Li's heart.
"Lili?" The little sister next to her walked back to Shili and called her softly.
Shi Li lowered her eyebrows and smiled helplessly at the little sisters, "You guys play, I'm leaving first."
The girls present all knew the inside story. They bumped her shoulder with a sly smile and said with a wink, "Can't you bear to let him stand outside for a while?"
"Shut up!" Shi Li glared at him angrily.
Xuanyuan Lin was outside and had been preparing for a long time, but he didn't expect Shi Li to come out, and he couldn't help but show a surprised expression.
"I'm embarrassed to let my brother wait outside. Let's go."
Shi Li tilted her head, the expression on her face was extremely clear, and the word "brother" blocked all the words Xuanyuan Lin wanted to say.
[The host is mean and bad~]
