What should be done with Bai Qin?
Guan Yuxi really hadn't thought of that.
"Let's hand her over to Uncle Zhao and deal with her as he sees fit."
Leng Lie's lips moved slightly, "Okay."
The two strolled leisurely to Chen Ergou's house.
"Here, your sister-in-law brought this especially for you."
Leng Lie shoved the rice bowl into Zhang Yuanli's hands.
"Thank you, Xiaoxi... Oh, no, thank you, sister-in-law."
Zhang Yuanli reacted quickly.
He winked at Guan Yuxi and quickly changed how he addressed her.
Guan Yuxi: "......"
She's closer to Zhang Yuanli, isn't she?
Zhang Yuanli's grandfather was also a retired soldier and had a very good relationship with Grandpa Guan.
Although Guan Yuxi and Zhang Yuanli don't get along and don't spend much time together.
But at least it's closer than her relationship with Leng Lie.
A smile spread across Leng Lie's face, and he hummed in response.
He has the air of a big brother.
Guan Yuxi couldn't help but feel suspicious.
When did they get so close?
"What's wrong?"
Leng Lie noticed that she was staring intently at him.
He couldn't help but touch his face.
"When did you two get together?"
Guan Yuxi pointed at Zhang Yuanli.
Leng Lie choked on his own saliva.
Zhang Yuanli looked at her innocently.
"Little... Sister-in-law's words make me so uneasy."
He glanced guiltily at Leng Lie.
He grabbed the bowl and ran off in a flash.
Guan Yuxi looked at him irritably, "Did I say something wrong?"
"Have you spoken to each other in the past few decades?"
Now, they can even order him around.
Leng Lie turned on the flashlight and held her face up.
Shine the flashlight beam on the tip of her nose.
He reached out and pinched her again, "You little jealous pot, why are you so jealous of everything?"
Uh, wasn't that something she said about him?
She pushed his hand away, not wanting to speak.
Leng Lie shone the flashlight on his face. "Look at me."
The flashlight beam was very strong.
It shone on his brow.
His deep pupils, illuminated by the strong beam of the flashlight, appeared a deep amber color.
Guan Yuxi was very surprised, "Brother Lie, your eyes can change color!"
Leng Lie felt somewhat frustrated.
He moved the flashlight away and said weakly, "That's not what I meant."
Guan Yuxi chuckled and looked at him with a faint smile, remaining silent.
Leng Lie coughed lightly. "What I mean is, you're the only one in my eyes."
Don't say Zhang Yuanli is a public official.
Even if a stunningly beautiful woman came along, he wouldn't even give her a second glance!
Guan Yuxi burst out laughing.
"Brother Lie, you're so cute!"
She was just joking casually.
He explained it to her earnestly.
Leng Lie placed her hand on her chest.
His voice was warm and magnetic, "I know, I just don't want you to be unhappy."
I also don't want any misunderstandings to stand between us.
Guan Yuxi was instantly touched.
She never expected that Leng Lie, this rough and tough guy, could say such heartwarming things.
If anyone talks to her again in the future...
He's such a blockhead, she's getting angry with him!
"Let's go check on Zhang Yuanli."
He turned off his flashlight.
Guan Yuxi was completely blind. "I can't see."
Leng Lie touched his flushed face.
I am very grateful for the deep darkness of the night.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to say such cheesy things!
Fortunately, his daughter Xixi likes to listen to it.
He just needs to practice more in the future.
She put her arm around her and led her forward, saying, "I'm here for you, so feel free to walk confidently."
Even if you slip, I can still pull you back.
Guan Yuxi wasn't worried about him.
However, it's definitely safer to walk while looking at the road than to not see anything at all!
However, it is indeed a novel experience.
She indeed took bold steps and walked away.
Leng Lie is really considerate.
Whether she walked fast or slow, he was able to maintain a good distance from her.
***
Zhang Yuanli lifted the oil paper cover off the bowl.
The enticing aroma of the food made him swallow hard.
The aroma of the twice-cooked pork was so enticing that he almost bit his tongue.
"What's that smell? It smells so good!"
Where did the meat come from?
Chen Ergou's nose is indeed very sensitive.
He leaned against the window frame, sniffing hard, his eyes fixed on Zhang Yuanli with a ghostly green glint.
I wish I could drop my eyeballs into the bowl.
Zhang Yuanli lit an oil lamp and waved it in front of him.
"A big bowl of white rice and twice-cooked pickled vegetables."
Want some?
Chen Ergou drooled and nodded vigorously.
"As long as you give me food, I'll do whatever you want."
Even if I have to be your slave, I'll still listen to you like a dog!
He stared greedily at the rice bowl.
The protruding pieces of pork belly were glistening with oil.
It was as if it had grown hooks, drawing his very soul away.
Not to mention that Chen Ergou had been starving for a whole day and night.
Even if he wasn't starving, he couldn't resist the irresistible aroma of meat.
Drooling dripped onto the windowsill.
Zhang Yuanli looked away in disgust.
He leisurely took out his chopsticks and slowly put a piece of meat into his mouth.
"It smells so good!"
I've never had such delicious twice-cooked pork before.
Not too fatty, not too meaty, but very juicy.
He chewed heartily while shaking his head and making comments.
Halfway through the meal, he scooped up another mouthful of white rice.
"Mmm, it smells so good. Such delicious food deserves to be paired with this perfectly cooked, fragrant white rice."
