Lisui Town News 3

have to.

After all, her embrace was not as warm as that in Qingquan Store.

These furry creatures forget their parents when they see benefits.

No... I forgot about my mother.

Chu Li couldn't do anything about them. He reached out and touched the tiger who had the most say among them, and said, "Forget it. You haven't had a rest for a long time. Go ahead."

She paused for a moment, as if remembering something, "But I have to be frank, you naughty ones, please don't cause any trouble for me."

After Chu Li finished speaking, the tiger's eyes instantly became serious. It suddenly walked up to Chu Li, raised its head and let out a long roar.

As the hostess, she naturally knew what Lao Hu meant. She smiled with relief, then talked with Jiang Xizhi for a few more words before saying goodbye.

After seeing off Mao Rongrong, Chu Li felt that the surroundings were a lot quieter.

She stretched and turned around to see You Chengze, whose eyes were fixed on her.

Chu Li paused and said, "I want the room on the right."

She raised her hand and pointed, and You Chengze's gaze followed it.

The taciturn guy didn't react at all, and Chu Li was already used to it.

Since that night, You Chengze spoke even less frequently than usual, unless absolutely necessary, like when he came to explain vagrants and the suburbs to him today.

He remained silent for the rest of the time.

This is not a good sign!

She and You Chengze still had a long way to go, and they couldn't keep on being stuck like this. She hadn't even said anything about the huge loss she had suffered, and this idiot man was so stupid!

Chu Li's brain was working quickly, and an idea suddenly came to him. He moved closer to You Chengze and said, "I just came over and saw that street is very busy. Shall we go and take a look together later?"

Afraid that the man would refuse, Chu Li continued, "Look, we finally found a normal town and can finally rest. Why don't you accompany me?"

The girl leaned in close, and You Chengze, for once, didn't shy away. He lowered his eyes to stare at her lively, carefree face, his lips slightly pursed, but he remained silent.

There was silence for a long time, so long that Chu Li wanted to withdraw his invitation and scold himself for being too talkative, when the taciturn man finally spoke.

"Can."

Listen! This is what a normal man with high IQ and EQ would say!

Chu Li grinned, said goodbye to him and said goodbye later, then went into the room immediately.

The room Jiang Xizhi arranged for them was very nice. The furnishings inside were elegant and noble, with dark green bed curtains, sandalwood chairs, and fine tea and exquisite tea sets. Even the air was filled with a light but not greasy fragrance.

Chu Li put down his luggage, picked up the clothes prepared by Jiang Xizhi, and went into the room behind him to take a shower.

The water in the tub was just the right temperature, and the roses filling it were soothing and relaxing. Chu Li didn't think twice before jumping in. The hot water flowed over her curvaceous collarbone, and a girl's sigh filled the air.

So comfortable!

Since arriving in Xumi Continent, she hadn't had a good bath for a long time! This place was simply a paradise on earth!

Chu Li exclaimed, leaning lazily against the side of the tub, tilting his head slightly upwards, looking at the roof. After a moment, his eyelids felt heavy, and he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

-

"Bang, bang, bang."

"Bang, bang, bang."

There was a dull sound and the sound of a wooden door slamming.

Chu Li was sleeping soundly in the bathtub, but when he heard the noise, he couldn't help but frown.

She was so addicted to the comfort of the water that she completely forgot about the agreement she had made with You Chengze.

Chu Li wanted to ignore the rough knock on the door, but just as he fell asleep, the knock on the door rang in his ears again.

With a splash, Chu Li sat up directly from the water. She reached out and took the clothes on the side, put them on casually, and walked towards the door.

She wanted to see who was so blind as to ruin her sweet dream.

As soon as Chu Li opened the door, he was met with You Chengze's face full of worry.

"you……"

You Chengze's voice was heard, and his eyes immediately turned downwards.

Chu Li subconsciously lowered his eyes and saw that he was only wearing a long robe, and his snow-white chest could be seen at the open collar.

!!

ah--! !

Chu Li's scream pierced the sky.

She quickly retreated into the house and closed the door with a "click", leaving You Chengze alone there for a long time, unable to recover.

Chu Li in the room never thought that she would be seen like this by You Chengze. She scratched her hair in distress, and her body temperature became hot all over.

How could she fall asleep in the bathtub? How could she forget to go for a walk on the street with You Chengze?

What did You Chengze just see? Did she see herself...

ah!

Chu Li paced around in annoyance.

She didn't know how much time had passed before she heard no more noise outside the door, so she poured herself a glass of water and calmed down.

No matter what, she had to meet someone later, she couldn't just run away forever! If You Chengze mentioned it, she would beat the stinky guy to death!

But considering You Chengze's personality, he probably won't say it on his own initiative...

Chu Li took a deep breath, patted his face, and forced himself not to think too much.

The next second, she got up, put on her clothes, put on her backpack, and opened the door.

You Chengze did not leave.

The sky was dark, the moon was bright, and the cold moonlight fell on You Chengze's shoulder.

He seemed to have heard the sound of the door opening and looked over.

There was a bit of discomfort when I raised my hand.

Chu Li suspected that she had seen it wrong, but when she thought about what happened just now, she felt embarrassed and wanted to tap her toes. She simply grabbed the strap of her backpack and walked up to You Chengze with gritted teeth.

The man in front of her just stood quietly beside her, without saying a word, and without looking at her.

This made Chu Li breathe a sigh of relief. He felt extremely ashamed when he recalled the moment when he was caught just now. Fortunately, he was a taciturn person and didn't talk much. At least he could pretend to be confused and pretend that this incident had never happened.

Chu Li cleared his throat and said, "Let's go."

"Um."

After everyone responded, Chu Li and You Cheng walked one after the other.

After crossing the small path, the prosperity of the main street instantly fell into Chu Li's eyes.

The lights are bright, and small stalls are set up on both sides of the street. Pedestrians are dressed in festive clothes and have happy faces. Sometimes they bargain with the vendors, and sometimes they admire the good quality and low price of the goods with their friends.

It’s so lively.

Chu Li likes lively occasions. Seeing this scene, his heart suddenly felt like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, and he just wanted to run around.

"Hello, do you want to come over and play?"

A sweet, soft and polite voice reached her ears. Chu Li turned her head and saw four girls of her age wearing bright red dresses, with delicate makeup and round fans in their hands, enthusiastically inviting Chu Li to come over and play.

Chu Li was stunned. He thought that You Chengze beside him would not be able to adapt. Before he could say anything, these girls had already pushed Chu Li and You Chengze to go to the stall together.

So enthusiastic...

"Want some marshmallows?"

The girl next to her picked up a string of marshmallows from the stall, threw a coin on the table, and then handed the marshmallow to Chu Li without asking whether he agreed or not.

Chu Li took it, tore off half of it and stuffed it into her mouth. The sweetness melted in her mouth, and she couldn't help but feel a little intoxicated, so she ate several more rounds.

"What's your name?" the girl asked.

"Chu Li."

"What a nice name." The girl praised, and then she thought of something else and took the initiative to introduce herself and her sisters.

The four girls' surname is Lu. As for their names, they are a bit sloppy, but they are in line with the characteristics of these four characters - spring, summer, autumn and winter.

The person standing next to her is Lu Xia.

As for her sisters, they were either pestering You Chengze or watching the fun at the stall.

"I know you."

Chu Li, who was reviewing the names of the four sisters, came back to his senses, met her eyes full of joy, and repeated: "You... know me?"

"Yes, you and him are the foreigners that Uncle Jiang brought back this day." Lu Xia paused, "The uncles and aunts here discussed you for quite a while this afternoon."

Chu Li picked up the preserved fruit she handed him and put it in his mouth. He continued to ask curiously, "What was the discussion?"

"Some people say that you don't look like good people, especially him." Lu Xia pointed at You Chengze.

At that time, You Chengze was being pestered by Lu Dong to play pitch pot with him. The man frowned and his face was ashen. Chu Li knew at a glance that this man had reached the limit of his patience.

However, seeing him looking so frustrated and not daring to vent his anger, Chu Li inexplicably developed some evil amusement.

"Why?" Chu Li asked.

Hearing this, Lu Xia pondered for a moment, "Hmm... I don't know either, but my mother told me that she saw him before the towns were unified. He looked ferocious and had a bad temper. He would draw his sword whenever he saw someone."

As Lu Xia spoke, she stole a glance at You Chengze. Seeing that the man's attention was not there, she secretly leaned close to Chu Li's ear and whispered, "It is said that he is a demon who kills without blinking an eye."

The girl's warm breath fanned Chu Li's neck. Her words were inexplicably chilly and instantly filled Chu Li's whole body.

Chu Li shivered for a moment, then paused for a moment, his eyes subconsciously falling on You Chengze.

A murderer?

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it!

And who could a taciturn person of his size possibly kill?! She saw him secretly taking pills every day! It was hard to even carry a knife with such a large supply of pills. A murderer like him was probably out of his league.

"You don't believe me?!" Lu Xia saw her face full of doubt and instantly became anxious. "You have to trust me. I'm an insider in this town, and my information won't be wrong."

"No." Chu Li couldn't help laughing. She just thought these people were just hearsay and didn't understand You Chengze at all. Given this man's temperament, if he really killed someone, there must be a reason. Chu Li figured it out and asked, "You just said we are all bad people. Are you and your sisters still willing to come and play with us?"

"I..." Lu Xia looked a little flustered, "We were worried that you wouldn't be able to adapt, so we took the initiative to get to know you."

Chu Li narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly lowered his voice, threatening: "Tell the truth, otherwise, his knife will show no mercy."

Lu Xia glanced at You Chengze, who was already looking at him, and shuddered, instantly dropping his composure. "I'll tell you! I'll tell you!"

"We just want to explore Youningyuan!"
