Chapter 11 He Wants to Get Close to Her
"Shuyi, I'm back..."
In the evening when school was over, two children rushed into the yard.
The clean clothes were now covered in ink on the sleeves and grass debris all over the body.
Cheng Shuyi returned home a quarter of an hour early to cook. When she poked her head out of the kitchen, she saw the two children in such a miserable state.
As soon as she frowned, the two children started explaining.
My sister said, "Shuyi, I don't know how to grind ink, so my clothes are dirty."
The elder brother continued, "I was just playing with a bamboo ball with Brother Huaichang, and I fell down."
The younger sister laughed and said, "Brother fell flat on his face, so funny..."
It turns out that it was for dirty play.
It seems that he has adapted well.
Cheng Shuyi didn't say a word of blame, but just said, "Go put your schoolbag down and then wash your hands and face. It's time for dinner."
The meal was still cooking, and the two children washed their faces and ran out to play again.
When Cheng Shuyi finished cooking and went to look for someone, the two kids were playing by throwing stones on the moat bridge at the end of the alley.
The body is even dirtier.
As the sun sets, the moat sparkles.
The street scenes on both sides of the river are as prosperous and lively as depicted in the painting "Along the River During the Qingming Festival".
"I'm going home for dinner."
As soon as Cheng Shuyi shouted, the two children threw all the stones in their hands into the river and stood up and ran towards her.
The setting sun stretched the shadows of the mother and her two children long.
After dinner.
Cheng Shuyi was bathing the two children in the yard. "Qi Qi Xu Xu, I have to go back to Modern to buy supplies tomorrow, so I won't be back by noon."
"I'll make lunch and put it on the table. You can help yourself, okay?"
It's too hot in summer.
The two children's hair was wet after playing around all day, so Cheng Shuyi took turns washing their hair.
My brother had already washed and was drying his hair in a rattan chair in the yard in his pajamas.
When the two children heard that Cheng Shuyi was going back to modern times tomorrow, they immediately became excited.
My sister sat in the bathtub, splashing the water. "Shuyi Shuyi, I want to eat strawberry jelly."
My brother also sat up straight, "Shuyi, I want to eat ice cream."
In modern times, when the weather gets hot, Shuyi will make them some cool sweet soup.
It was already very hot in ancient times, and people wanted to eat something cool.
There was no wind all day today and it was so stuffy that it seemed like it was going to rain.
That's why the two children felt hot.
After her sister finished washing, Cheng Shuyi took a dry towel to help her wipe her hair. "I'll remember to buy it for you."
The summer is still long, maybe she could consider making ice to beat the heat.
It is not expensive to buy raw materials in modern times.
After coaxing the two children to sleep, Cheng Shuyi returned to his room to make plans for tomorrow.
To purchase from Hyundai, simply place your order online.
The problem now is that she needs to rent a warehouse to receive the goods.
I don’t know if I can successfully rent a warehouse tomorrow…
The next day.
Before going to school, Cheng Shuyi gave each of the two children a key.
"I'll go buy some supplies after I finish cooking. Keep your keys. Eat lunch and take a nap by yourselves. Don't make any noise, okay?"
"If I'm not back by the evening, you should go to a restaurant and have something to eat first."
Cheng Shuyi gave detailed instructions.
"And, most importantly..."
"We can't go with people we don't know!" the two kids said in unison.
Such instructions have also occurred in modern times.
Cheng Shuyi has no parents to help take care of the children, so she only leaves the two children at home alone when she has no other choice.
But she never left the children home alone for more than a day.
Today was an accident.
After the two children went to the academy, Cheng Shuyi prepared lunch for them.
Put it on the table and cover it with a bowl.
Lock the door and go to the shop, and then go to Modern.
-
noon.
The academy is over.
The two kids ran out of the school with other classmates.
From the distance of an alley entrance, they could see Pei Yanli standing at their door at a glance.
"father--"
The little girl's eyes lit up and she ran towards Pei Yanli giggling.
My brother followed closely behind.
Pei Yanli came alone and saw that the door was locked.
I originally wanted to ask the secret guard to check the whereabouts of the mother and her two children, but before I could even wave, the academy was dismissed.
A group of students in light blue clothes poured out of the academy and ran everywhere.
Pei Yanli saw the two children at a glance.
Have the two children already enrolled in the academy?
Look at them, dressed like scholars, carrying small school bags, running towards him with arms outstretched and smiling faces.
Pei Yanli smiled gently.
"Dad, Xu Xu misses you so much!"
"Dad, that's great. Shuyi is not at home. Please have dinner with me and my sister."
The two children each held one of his legs and spoke with their heads tilted back.
Pei Yanli rubbed the two children's heads.
He finally understood why the entire Dasheng Dynasty was urging him to have a child.
The kids are so cute!
Pei Yanli wiped the beads of sweat from the two children's foreheads with his sleeves and asked softly, "Where did your mother go? Why isn't she home?"
The brother let go of Pei Yanli and took out the key from his schoolbag.
The lock was as tall as he was, and he had to stand on tiptoe to open it.
Seeing this, Pei Yanli took the key and opened the door.
The three of them walked in together. The younger sister took Pei Yanli's hand and said, "Shuyi has gone to buy goods and won't be back at noon."
The brother ran to the main room and opened the dishes that Cheng Shuyi had left for them one by one.
Then he waved and called out, "Dad, come quickly, Shuyi has made something delicious."
Cheng Shuyi left three dishes on the table.
A steamed egg, a piece of sweet corn fried with minced meat, and a piece of lettuce stir-fried with oil residue.
This is all that’s left from the last time I traveled back in time to buy groceries.
The food is cold.
But because it is summer, you can eat it even if it is cold.
The two children went to wash their hands, served themselves some rice and sat down to eat, and also served a bowl for Pei Yanli.
When has Pei Yanli ever eaten cold food?
He stopped the two children from picking up their chopsticks and said, "Qi Qi Xu Xu, the food is cold and can't be eaten. You should go back home with your father and have some hot soup and rice."
The two cubs shook their heads and refused.
My sister said, "I like the food Shuyi cooks."
My brother counted on his fingers, "We still have to take a nap after dinner, then get up and go to the academy... We can't go back with Dad."
Pei Yanli looked at the cold food on the table silently, feeling a little complicated.
The two children rely on Cheng Shuyi, but at the same time they are so independent.
He seemed to have no place in their lives at all.
That’s it!
So he stayed!
Pei Yanli finally found a legitimate excuse.
Ever since his body reacted inexplicably to Cheng Shuyi last time, he went back to the Imperial Hospital to have his pulse taken.
The imperial physician said his condition had not improved.
But paradoxically, he was sure he had recovered!
These past few days, both his mind and body were madly wanting to get close to Cheng Shuyi!
Pei Yanli tried to be patient.
The result is that the more you endure, the more you want to think about it.
He didn't know what had possessed him.
So he came to Cheng Shuyi today to confirm something.
