The story focuses on a spirited, innocent heroine and a cold, aloof hero. Chu Li, who ran a pet shop in her previous life, is now penniless and stranded in another world.
The good news is tha...
It’s so hard to appease an angry man!
After Shi San and Tao He were taken away by Lord You, everything returned to its original tranquility.
What makes Dimension different is that You Chengze has been sulking since the last time.
Chu Li was puzzled and had nothing to say. He thought that this man would calm down in a few days, but he didn't expect that after nearly a week, You Chengze was still the same.
She was furious, but there was nothing she could do.
Her spirit pet loves to stick to You Chengze, and she can't ignore her furry pet for a whole day. In order to ease the relationship between the two, Chu Li began to reflect on what went wrong between them.
Just when he was scratching his head and was puzzled, Yue Zhen noticed it first. She simply found a free time and pulled Chu Li over for a long talk.
Yuezhen specially brought the best rice wine from Yongle Town and added some freshly made pastries.
Chu Li loves to eat. When she saw the table full of sweets, the unhappiness in her heart eased a little. She hurriedly picked up the pastries and stuffed them into her mouth.
The pastry was soft, sweet but not greasy, and she was addicted after one bite, so she began to gobble it up.
"Eat slowly, be careful not to choke." Yue Zhen couldn't help laughing when she saw her hurried appearance. She raised her hand and gently stroked Chu Li's back and asked, "Xiao Chu, have you had any conflicts with Cheng Ze recently?"
Cough cough——
Chu Li couldn't help coughing.
The person beside her reacted extremely quickly, bringing her some water. She drank it down without hesitation, wiped the water from the corner of her mouth, and then replied, "Of course not! So many things have happened recently, I'm exhausted."
"I've been through this before, and I know what you young people are thinking." Chu Li's expression, seemingly trying to hide his feelings but failing, made Yue Zhen laugh. "Tell me, what's been keeping you so uneasy that you're distracted even when eating?"
After his secret was exposed, Chu Li's hand holding the pastry froze slightly in mid-air. He suddenly felt a heat on his body. He wanted to refute, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that something was indeed wrong with him recently.
In fact, she hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time because of this matter. Every time she got ready and lay down on the bed, the next second, many things related to You Chengze would flood her mind.
Due to lack of sleep, she had dark circles under her eyes during the day, and would often stare at You Chengze or her own pet in a daze.
She licked her lips, put down the cake in her hand, and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just... after destroying the den, You Chengze didn't seem to want to pay much attention to me."
Hearing this, Yue Zhen couldn't help but laugh.
As her laughter grew louder, she spoke again: "Elmhead, is there a possibility that he is waiting for you to come over?"
"Sister, I've looked for him! I've even tried many ways to strike up a conversation with him, but he just doesn't say anything and just keeps touching my pet!"
Yue Zhen laughed even louder.
Chu Li, confused, turned away. Yue Zhen, standing in front of her, reached out and caressed her nose lovingly. Her smile was as beautiful as a flower, and her voice was as soft as water: "He actually cares about you very much, but he hasn't found the right way to express it."
"Sister Zhen, you are here to act as a lobbyist today..."
"No, I'm out of kindness and want to help you, a slow-witted child." Yue Zhen answered very swiftly, her eyes slowly falling on the crispy cake in Chu Li's hand.
Feeling the other party's fiery gaze, Chu Li didn't know whether to eat it or put it back.
Until the next second, she heard the person next to her say: "This pastry was made by him personally."
As soon as these words fell, it was like a needle dropping to the ground. A light and sharp sound came from her ear. In an instant, she felt her scalp tingling and goose bumps appeared all over her body.
Yue Zhen was still speaking earnestly, but Chu Li had no intention of listening any further.
Are you showing your goodwill?
If that’s the case, then why did you ignore me in the first place?
Chu Li took a deep breath, quickly put down the pastry in her hand, and suddenly stood up.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Where are you going?" Yue Zhen was startled by her action and couldn't help asking.
Chu Li came back to his senses, took Yue Zhen's hand gently with both hands, and said with emotion: "Sister, I think you are right. Some things really require persistence to achieve results!"
After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked back without caring about Yue Zhen's reaction.
-
A bright moon hangs in the vast sky, cold and lonely.
The yard was brightly lit by candlelight where the leaves overlapped.
Chu Li stopped at the door and looked up to see You Chengze playing with some pets.
She took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind, strode inside, and sat down opposite him without any hesitation.
The man in front of him first looked at him lazily, and then began to touch the cat as if nothing had happened.
Chu Li was furious. He dragged a stool closer to the man and said word by word, "Sister Zhen told me that you made the pastries."
Instantly, the man paused in his caressing, and after a long while, he finally answered, "There are more."
Remind her not to be so self-indulgent?
Chu Licai didn't believe it: "Nonsense, how can the extra flavors all be my favorites?"
Having his thoughts exposed, You Chengze retracted his gaze, then stood up, walked around Chu Li, and changed the subject: "It's time to rest."
Is this a disguised way of driving people away?
How could Chu Li easily let go of such a good opportunity.
"If you don't want to tell me, then I'll tell you the answer! You just think I'm funny and want to tease me." Chu Li paused, "You Chengze, we've known each other for such a long time. If you have any grudges or grievances, why can't you just say it?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell into an eerie silence.
The man opposite had his back tensed, as if he was suppressing some emotion that was about to explode.
Chu Li was puzzled. The next second, he saw him bend down, pat the backs of a few pets, let them play by themselves, and then turned around immediately.
The moment he raised his eyes, Chu Li happened to meet You Chengze's deep eyes.
It has been a long time since I looked at the other person face to face.
From this look, it seems that the other party didn't sleep well either.
The man had very heavy dark circles under his eyes, and every frown and frown showed his fatigue.
Chu Li fell silent, and felt a shadow hanging over him.
The enlarged version of You Chengze's face suddenly appeared in front of her, and Chu Li was stunned for a moment.
The next second, she felt a hand appear on her waist, pulling her up slightly, and her whole body was suspended in the air.
You Chengze simply picked the person up with one hand.
Chu Li was startled and instinctively hugged You Chengze's neck, shouting, "You Chengze, put me down immediately! You're taking advantage of me and you're going to go to jail!"
You Chengze: ...
"Asshole! You're relying on your health to bully your savior! God will punish you!!"
Eh? ?
Chu Li had just finished speaking when a gust of wind blew past and she was carried to the bed by the man.
Feeling the reality, Chu Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, she was not really going to be thrown out. However, the next second, her mind began to wander again.
bed……
A single man and a single woman...
I hope You Chengze won’t force himself on me!
Chu Li thought about it and suddenly shrank back. She had to protect her innocence to the death.
However, before he had retreated a few meters, You Chengze grabbed the man with his big hand and pulled him back to his original place.
Chu Li suddenly paused, his nose catching a glimpse of the other person's fragrance, his heart was beating like a small road, and he subconsciously tightened the cloth on his legs on the bed.
After a long while, she regained her sanity and said warily, "What are you going to do?"
As soon as he finished speaking, You Chengze leaned over and looked over.
Being so close, Chu Li could clearly see his own loss of composure reflected in the man's obsidian pupils.
She subconsciously held her breath and reached out to push the person away.
The next moment, a warmth appeared on his hands.
You Chengze grabbed her wrist again, his thin lips opening and closing as he uttered two short words: "Settle the account."
ah?
What accounts are you settling?
It would have been better if she didn't go after this stinky man to settle the score, but she actually came to him first. How unreasonable!
"I left a letter before. Why don't you just stay here and wait for me to come back?"
After these words were spoken, Chu Li reacted slowly.
It turns out that after such a long time, this stingy guy You Chengze is still stubborn about this point?
"I'm worried." Chu Li spoke without hesitation.
She was telling the truth. When Chu Li first received the letter, his mind went blank. After he came to his senses, what filled his heart the most was inexplicable panic.
She couldn't describe how she felt at that moment.
Cold sweat kept coming out, legs became weak after walking a few steps, my heart was anxious, and I couldn't help but think about the worst.
It's all because I don't want to lose him again.
"You didn't do it the second time either." You Chengze spoke again.
The second time.
Chu Li remembered that it was the time when he acted alone in the cave without any prior notice.
She was silent for a long time, then said the same thing again: "Worry..."
"Chu Li, have you ever thought that I had the same idea as you at that time?"
You Chengze interrupted Chu Li before he finished speaking.
The moment the words came out, Chu Li noticed the trembling in the other person's voice. She stared blankly at her hand being taken by the other person, and she didn't know when the other person's eyes had already turned red.
His palm was warm, and his fingertips stroked the back of Chu Li's hand.
The next second, a slightly muffled voice sounded: "I just don't want you to get hurt..."
Chu Li's eyes lit up, and a buzzing sound pierced his head. The stupid man was slow to react for a long time, but he finally understood.
Her heart moved, and she raised her hand and touched the other person's cheek affectionately: "You are an idiot, aren't you? I have so many pets, how could I get hurt? Besides, it was you who was in danger at that time."
After all, they only carried two miniature spirit pets with them.
Chu Li sighed, and immediately saw the other party let go of his hand.
Before she could react, You Chengze had already opened his arms and held her in his arms.
The fragrance brought by the subtle movement made Chu Li lose his mind.
He hugged Chu Li tightly, as if he wanted to hold him tightly in his arms.
Chu Li laughed, loosened her hands that were clenched due to nervousness, opened them wide, and hugged the man back.
After a few seconds, Chu Li noticed the trembling in his shoulders.
She patted the man's shoulder for some unknown reason and said soothingly, "It's all in the past. This kind of thing will never happen again."
After saying this, the person in his arms moved.
You Chengze pulled away from the hug and looked at Chu Li who was opposite him.
The moment they looked at each other, Chu Li realized that this noble flower was actually crying.
"Can you promise me that you won't take risks alone again?" You Chengze once again trapped Chu Li in his territory. "I know I don't have much ability, but I'm trying my best. Wait for me."
It is hard to imagine that this is what You Chengze would say.
Chu Li couldn't bear it any longer, so he raised his hand and placed his palm on the back of You Chengze's hand. Suddenly, he curled his lips and said, "You are already very powerful. You are the one who hooked me."
As soon as she said this, You Chengze's face turned red instantly.
After a long silence, he repeated stubbornly: "You haven't promised me yet."
"Okay, no problem."
"Don't lie to me."
"Why would I lie to you? I swear to God, I will definitely report to you next time and I will definitely not let you worry too much."
"Also, don't get too close to that You guy."
Um? ?
Chu Li frowned, and it took her a while to realize he was talking about Lord You. Suddenly, she chuckled, "You Chengze, you're a jealous person, aren't you?"
"Yeah." You Chengze replied, then moved closer to Chu Li until he touched her cheek, tilted his head, and kissed her, "Promise me."
The kiss was as light as a dragonfly's, and it felt like millions of ants were crawling across her heart. Chu Li was a little dazed.
In the silent moment, You Chengze couldn't wait any longer.
He immediately pounced on Chu Li.
The person was pushed to the bed and stared blankly at You Chengze's face which suddenly enlarged, then his nose bridge, and then his forehead and hair.
Moisture and warmth intertwined on the lips, and the breathing sounds of the man and woman overlapped at this moment.
You Chengze's body was a little hot, and Chu Li felt a little weak. She instinctively clung to You Chengze's arm, found some space, and immediately said, "You Chengze, promise... I promise."
"Um."
Response.
But the action never stopped.
