After Ah Li and Wu Xin finished eating, the two of them went outside.

Wuxin sat on a chair, holding a bronze mirror in his hand. Ali held a razor in his hand. There was also a basin of water and a long towel for washing faces next to them.

Ahri said, "Then I'll begin."

"Um."

Wu Xin saw Ah Li in the bronze mirror, and she was very serious.

Ali first wiped Wuxin's head with a handkerchief, then took a razor and shaved off his newly grown hair little by little.

When Shen Xinghe returned, he saw Ah Li intently helping Wuxin shave his head.

Wuxin stared blankly at the bronze mirror in his hand, lost in thought.

When Ah Li put down the razor in her hand and looked down to blow on the fine strands of hair that had fallen onto Wu Xin's shoulder, she came back to her senses. What was she doing?

Unconcerned and nonchalant, he seemed completely oblivious to the slightest impropriety in Ahri's actions.

Even though her breath fell on his neck, making him feel some warmth.

To outsiders, it looked like Ahri was bowing her head to kiss Wuxin's neck.

Shen Xinghe didn't misunderstand at all; he had been watching the whole time.

Ahri straightened up, patted Wuxin's shoulder, and said, "There's a bit of hair here that fell out and can't be blown away. Do you want to go change your clothes?"

Wu Xin put down the bronze mirror in his hand. "Hmm, I'm going back to my room to change my clothes."

Wuxin glanced in Shen Xinghe's direction; this person had arrived earlier and had been standing there for a long time.

Ali also spotted Shen Xinghe. She happily approached him and said with a beaming smile, "Shen Xinghe, you're back! Have you eaten? I made you some bone broth, it smells so good!"

Shen Xinghe nodded indifferently and turned to go into the kitchen.

Ahri followed behind him, saying, "I'm so good to you, why don't you smile at me?"

Shen Xinghe forced a smile, but there was no hint of a smile in his expression. He said, "Sorry, I can't smile."

Ahri snorted and muttered, "Fine, I won't laugh then. I'll just find someone who can laugh later."

Shen Xinghe's brow twitched slightly. "Zhou Li, what did you say?"

"No."

Ahri quickly denied it and even reflected on herself, wondering if she had spoken too loudly just now.

However, this person is cold and heartless, and sometimes she even doubts whether he has a heart at all, so she probably doesn't care.

So she continued, "Then you eat first, I'll go outside and tidy up."

To make Shen Xinghe feel her passionate affection, she not only took care of his three meals a day, but also did everything herself, except for the fact that he didn't want her to feed him. She even helped him wash clothes and tidy up his room.

She shamelessly tells people she likes him every day, and praises him from time to time.

Ahri doesn't want to continue chasing after him.

Shen Xinghe and Wuxin have been in Youjian Mountain Village for three months now.

Ahri herself feels like she's a love-struck person, or at least a moderate one.

Now that she has realized that this crooked tree is really not suitable, she can find another one.

Therefore, after Ali went out, she carried the basin and chair she had just taken out into the house, and then went to find Li Dazhu and Er Gouzi.

Shen Xinghe felt that the bone broth tasted bland today. He looked up and saw that the person who liked to wear red and was very flamboyant was nowhere to be seen.

Is she really going to go and find someone who can laugh?

Shen Xinghe stood up, but then he sat down again. What was he doing?

Before he could even breathe, he stood up. He wanted to find that person and ask her if she had forgotten to add salt.

On the other side, under a big tree in the village.

Li Dazhu and Er Gouzi, each holding a hoe, looked at Ali and said, "Chief, you haven't captured him yet?"

"Yes, that's why I've decided to go and kidnap more people to go up the mountain!"

Li Dazhu rolled his eyes and remained silent.

Er Gouzi chuckled and said, "Chief, a husband isn't so easy to snatch. You've been coaxing Shen Xinghe quite well lately, haven't you? Maybe if you coax him a couple more days, he'll be willing?"

Ali crossed her arms, kicked Er Gouzi, and said, "That guy is impossible to coax, he has no sense of propriety. I'm going to find someone who can coax me and knows how to treat me."

"If you guys aren't going, I'll go by myself."

As Ah Li was talking, she noticed that Li Dazhu and Er Gouzi were leaning together and looking behind her, subtly reminding her to look back.

Ahri raised her hand and pinched her earlobe, then slowly turned her head.

Good heavens, Shen Xinghe was standing right behind her. Every time she turned around, it felt like she was running into his arms.

Why is this grown man standing silently behind her, with a shadow over his face?

"Where do you want to go?"

Shen Xinghe closed his eyes, resisting the urge to pull the person into his arms. He had just heard something, and he was so clueless.

What does it mean to be tactful and discreet?

Before Ah Li could speak, Li Dazhu and Er Gouzi exchanged glances and said, "Chief, you two continue your conversation, we'll be leaving now."

Ah Li thinks, she's already said what she wanted to say, so what if someone overheard her?

So, Ah Li took two steps back, looked up at Shen Xinghe, and said, "I need to go down the mountain, I have something to do."

"Where are you going?"

"Nothing."

Ahri reached out to grab her machete; how come she'd just put it aside while they were talking?

At this moment, Shen Xinghe reached out and grasped the hilt of Ahri's machete, saying, "Why bring a knife down the mountain?"

"For self-defense."
