"Click".
The sound of a gun being cocked.
Meanwhile, at the armed forces headquarters, the crowd was still making a fuss.
Leng Lie's dark eyes narrowed, and he was about to make a desperate gamble.
Guan Yuxi was faster than him.
He picked up the stool next to him and smashed it down.
"Apologize or admit defeat...?"
Before Ren Jian could finish speaking, the gun fell to the ground with a thud.
His arms also drooped down.
He stared wide-eyed at Guan Yuxi.
"Bang"
A loud bang.
The gun went off accidentally; the bullet hit the wall and made a hole.
A puff of white smoke rose up.
The noisy courtyard fell silent instantly.
Everyone stared at the three of them in astonishment.
Guan Yuxi was also startled.
The chair in his hands fell to the ground with a thud.
The next second, Leng Lie pulled her into his arms, "Are you alright?"
Everyone: "......"
The one who should be in trouble is Ren Jiancai.
Guan Yuxi trembled as she threw herself into his arms, "Brother Lie, it's so scary."
Can he just shoot people whenever he wants?
Leng Lie felt very uncomfortable hugging his colleagues in front of them.
He gently patted her back reassuringly, saying, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Guan Yuxi buried her head in his chest.
A smile even flashed across his face, but there was not a trace of fear on his face.
Minister Zhao ran downstairs and said coldly:
Who fired the shot just now?
All eyes turned to the three of them.
Leng Lie and Ren Jian exchanged a glance, then both turned their heads away disdainfully.
But no one admitted it.
Minister Zhao's gaze fell on Guan Yuxi, and he paused for a moment.
Guan Yuxi's lips curled slightly, and she let go of Leng Lie.
"You two, come with me!"
Minister Zhao bluntly uttered a sentence and turned to go upstairs.
Leng Lie gave Guan Yuxi a reassuring look, "Wait for me, I'll be there soon."
Guan Yuxi nodded with a smile.
Since Leng Lie has made up his mind that he no longer wants to work in this industry.
What is there to fear?
The armed forces personnel never expected things to turn out this way.
They all scattered in a panic.
It should be understood that firing a gun indiscriminately can result in expulsion and public criticism, at best.
In serious cases, they may be held accountable and sent to prison!
The young man who had previously struck up a conversation with Guan Yuxi placed a chair on the sidewalk.
He smiled shyly at her again, then ran away blushing.
Guan Yuxi was amused.
She had never met anyone so easily embarrassed.
He turned around to look.
She nodded to him, smiled, and went over to sit down.
I stayed for about fifteen minutes.
Leng Lie then came down.
You couldn't read his expression.
Guan Yuxi was too lazy to ask any more questions.
Anyway, she's rich and has connections now, so she's very comfortable.
After leaving the armed forces department, the two bought some daily necessities for Li Chunhua and the others before leisurely returning home.
"We've finally waited for you!"
Fang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw them return.
Leng Lie stepped forward, blocking Guan Yuxi's path. "What is it?"
Fang Yuan turned to the side and stood on tiptoe, but could only see a corner of her clothes.
He scratched his head awkwardly. "I'm here to apologize."
He's not his master, so he doesn't need to be so quick to shake hands with other people.
He was afraid of being framed!
Especially young women.
Leng Lie turned around and looked at her.
Guan Yuxi peeked out from behind him, her face full of disdain. "You came to apologize empty-handed?"
Where is the understanding of human relationships and social customs?
Where is the sincerity?
Fang Yuan blushed with embarrassment and quickly waved his hands, "No, no, I prepared a gift for you."
"The teacher needed to speak with you, but I came in a hurry and didn't bring it."
Guan Yuxi had no idea why Grandpa Dai was looking for her now.
Logically speaking, shouldn't they have as little contact as possible now?
However, there were also gifts to receive on the trip up the mountain.
She would never refuse.
Fang Yuan followed behind the two of them, timidly.
I've been fed a bellyful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).
But they dared not utter a single complaint.
Thinking about the harsh words I had said to Guan Yuxi.
He wished he could dig a hole and bury himself.
"What does Elder Dai want with me?"
"If you don't want to talk about it, then don't. Anyway, it would be a desecration of art for a country bumpkin like me to know."
Guan Yuxi said casually.
Fang Yuan: "...It's not that I didn't want to tell you, it's what the teacher told me..."
Guan Yuxi tugged at Leng Lie's hand, "Brother Lie, let's go dig some houttuynia cordata first."
Leng Lie naturally listened to her.
The couple turned onto a parallel side road.
Fang Yuan frowned wearily: "The teacher is still waiting for you."
Guan Yuxi rolled her eyes. "You guys just like me because my man is strong."
The wages were decent, but who could stand being bossed around every day?
We country bumpkins and ignorant women won't tolerate that kind of rudeness."
Leng Lie's ears twitched.
I followed her gaze.
Around the corner, a pale green figure was hidden in the woods.
He took two steps forward.
Guan Yuxi pulled him back, "I already dug over there last time."
Follow me, I know a lot.
Fang Yuan frowned.
He couldn't understand what the couple was doing.
However, those slanderous words did indeed come from his mouth.
Even if you want to deny it, you can't.
"If you still mind."
I can kneel down and apologize to you, as long as you're willing...
Fang Yuan gritted his teeth.
Look at that unpredictable "antiquing" technique.
He can tolerate anything.
