Li Nian listened to Li Sisi's anxious question, looked at her with a soothing look, and replied slowly: "Xiao Yunyu came to the northwest to lead troops to fight, so I met him by chance."
She always had a bad feeling in her heart, so she added, "Although Xiao Yunyu promised me not to tell Xiao Yunchen that we are still alive, they are brothers after all."
Thinking about Li Sisi's recent emotional entanglement with Pei Yanli, it's okay that Sisi hasn't fallen into it yet. If she falls into it and Xiao Yunchen suddenly appears, Sisi will probably be in a more difficult situation given Xiao Yunchen's status and position.
Li Nian looked at Li Sisi worriedly and asked, "What do you think of Brother Pei?"
Li Sisi twisted her fingers and spoke hesitantly, "I don't know either. I've never dated someone like him before. I just don't find him offensive, but if I were to say I'm attracted to him..." Li Sisi tilted her head and thought for a moment, "I don't think so either. I just feel like he's too strong, and I feel like I can't control him. But sometimes I also feel like he's quite safe."
Li Nian looked at her troubled face and asked, "What about you and Brother Pei?"
When Li Sisi heard this question, she answered frankly: "If I marry Brother Pei, how will I face Pei Yanli in the future? I can't hide from my husband's eldest brother forever, right?"
Li Nian noticed the difference between her two obvious answers and suggested, "Why don't you try to accept Brother Pei? Give each other some time to try to accept it. If you still feel it's not suitable when the time comes, then don't bother each other anymore and avoid being so hesitant now."
After that, Li Nian sighed and said helplessly: "I would like us to escape again, but Xiao Yunyu has already been fooled once, it will probably be difficult to escape again."
Li Sisi frowned as she looked at Li Nian's calm face. Suddenly, she remembered that Li Nian had met Xiao Yunyu now. Was she willing? Did she want to escape?
Li Sisi asked with a distressed look on her face, "What about you? Haven't you ever thought about yourself? You don't like Xiao Yunyu, but he's pestering you and you can't escape. Are you just going to endure it like this? Are you going to ruin your life because of him?"
Li Nian was stunned by her question. She had never thought about this question before.
In fact, as long as Xiao Yunyu doesn't interfere too much in her life, she can accept it.
In fact, she still didn't quite understand what love between men and women really was. Was it like liking Baibai and Maomao, finding them cute and wanting to hug and touch them, being reluctant to give them away, and feeling sad when they died? Or was it like being jealous of a man, meaning she loved him?
It is said that liking someone means missing them and having your heart fluttered, but she did not think about Xiao Yunyu day and night, though she did think of him occasionally.
Heartbeat? Every time Xiao Yunyu, um... deliberately teased her, did that count as heartbeat?
"I don't know." Li Nian said confusedly.
Outside the house, the man who was waiting for the answer with full of anticipation and fear felt as if his heart was hit by a knife or stick when he heard this answer. Although it was an expected answer, it still made him feel a dull pain and bitterness in his heart.
Don't you know how to get rid of him?
Therefore, his appearance was a nuisance to my wife, a tangle that she wanted to escape from, and something she had no choice but to endure...
Xiao Yunyu staggered back two steps, his eyes instantly red.
The pain in my heart seems to have no outlet to vent, and the bitterness is stuck in my throat but I can't say it out loud.
Hearing the conversation in the house gradually die down, Xiao Yunyu took a deep breath and walked in with his casual and relaxed demeanor.
"The carriage is ready." The low-pitched voice sounded a little muffled, completely lacking the cheerful tone he had when he left.
Li Nian raised his eyes and asked him with doubt: "Did anything happen on the way? Is there any bad news from Brother Pei?"
Li Sisi also became nervous after hearing this: "Could something have happened to cousin Wang Yi?"
Seeing the two people's nervous expressions, Xiao Yunyu concealed the sadness in his eyes and said with a curled lip: "Nothing happened, don't worry, I just heard something on the way back and felt a little bit."
Meeting Li Nian's inquiring gaze, he dodged and turned around, saying, "Let's go. I'll take you back now."
Li Sisi pulled Li Nian and said, "Niannian, let's go. I haven't seen Jinhe for several days. I miss her so much."
Li Nian said "hmm" softly.
The carriage Xiao Yunyu bought was much larger than the ones they bought. There was a small table in the middle of the carriage with teacups and some fruits on it.
Li Sisi got on the carriage and reached out to Li Nian to pull her.
Seeing this, Xiao Yunyu stopped extending his hand dejectedly and retracted it.
The sky was clear and cloudless in the morning, but now the bright sunshine was covered by a thick layer of gray clouds, which made people's mood dim.
Dark clouds came one after another from afar, making people feel suffocated and breathless.
Xiao Yunyu grabbed the reins and drove the carriage slowly. He spoke in a hoarse voice, "I bought some cakes when I bought the carriage. They're in the small drawer under the table. If you're hungry, you can have some."
Hearing this, Li Nian murmured, "Okay, thank you."
The spacious carriage slowly drove out of the city and headed towards Dong'an City.
Inside the carriage, Li Sisi squatted down and opened the drawer of the small table, and found that the pastries bought by Xiao Yunyu were all light in flavor.
He took them all out at once and said in surprise, "Niannian, these are specially bought according to your taste, right?"
Li Nian glanced at the pastries on the small table, some of which were only available in shops in the south. He raised his eyes and looked at the exit of the carriage.
There was silence for a moment.
Li Sisi took out one of the oil-paper packets and handed it to Li Nian: "Here, would you like some?"
Li Nian nodded softly and took the oil paper bag handed to him by Li Sisi.
