The morning sun rose higher and higher, and the entire Li residence was bathed in sunlight.
Li Nian did not sleep well at all. Half asleep and half awake, she always felt that she was being stared at by a ferocious beast. The beast was approaching step by step, and every step seemed to step on her heart, making her feel suffocated by fear.
Until she had nowhere to retreat, the ferocious and terrifying beast suddenly pounced on her, and in an instant its face turned into Xiao Yunyu's.
He stared at her with extremely aggressive eyes, caressed her with his big hands, and asked in a low and crazy voice: "Why did you lie to me? You are mine, Jinhe is also mine, you can't escape."
Li Nian suddenly opened his eyes, his heart beating violently in his chest, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of cold sweat.
She turned her head in a daze, looking at the light coming in through the gaps outside the house. After a while, her breathing gradually calmed down.
There were bursts of noisy sounds coming from outside the house.
"Master, the west wing is too small and the desk can't fit in there."
"General, these six-story screens are too long. Should we remove two of them?"
"Why tear it apart? This is a complete painting of a thousand-mile landscape. How can it still be seen if it's taken apart? Why not just replace it with another one?"
Xiao Yunyu's low, mellow voice was filled with a hint of joy: "No need for the screen, and remove the desk as well. Just leave a small table and a bed."
Li Nian got out of bed and dressed while listening to the conversation outside. Why did it sound like they were moving?
After tidying up a bit, Li Nian quickly opened the door to see what Xiao Yunyu was doing.
In the sunlight, the midday sun made the cloud patterns embroidered with silver thread on Xiao Yunyu's dark green brocade robe seem to glow, and dyed his pair of peach blossom eyes with a layer of vivid warmth, neutralizing the coldness between his eyebrows.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, he immediately turned around, his eyebrows flying, his dark eyes filled with scorching sunlight, and asked expectantly and cautiously: "Niannian, can I stay at your house?"
Li Nian glanced at the people busy moving furniture in and out, and anger flashed across his cold eyes: "No."
Xiao Yunyu's raised eyebrows dimmed, and he whispered in a low voice, "I'm not living here for free. Is it okay if I pay the rent?"
Li Nian's mind was full of the dream he had just had. When he saw Xiao Yunyu's face, he became angry for no reason.
Her tone was cold and firm: "My house is not going to be rented out. Xiao Yunyu, take your things and get out!"
Xiao Yunyu looked at her, an indescribable sadness welled up from the bottom of his heart, and his eyes, which had been up all night, were so sore that they were filled with tears.
His proud face was filled with loneliness and desolation, his prominent eyebrows drooped, and his red eyes held a stubborn look: "Niannian, just take me in as a friend, okay?"
It was the first time that Xiaobai saw his master being so humble, and he was so shocked that his jaw dropped.
He looked at the gentle and obedient lady in his memory. Now she was only indifferent and annoyed towards her master. On the contrary, it was his master who was always arrogant and domineering. What was he doing? Huh?
The longer you live, the more you see.
Li Nian felt that she had really underestimated Xiao Yunyu's thickness of skin before.
The corners of her lips curled up in a cold arc: "Okay, if you kneel down and beg me, I will agree to let you stay."
