Li Sisi waited for Pei Yanli to approach with the freshly washed red tassel fruit before she started to find fault again: "Why haven't you removed the stem from this fruit?"
"Shall I pick it now?" Pei Yanli looked at her inquiringly.
Li Sisi's expression was calm: "Well, remove them all and make it clean."
She pointed to the stone table under the shade of the tree and said, "Go there."
Li Nian looked at Li Sisi's arrogant look, and then saw Pei Yanli walking towards the red plum tree without saying a word. She couldn't help but give Li Sisi a thumbs up: "Sister, you are awesome."
Li Nian moved closer to her and said in a low voice, "I didn't expect Brother Pei to be so obedient."
Li Sisi raised an eyebrow at her: "This is just the beginning, we have to persevere."
Li Nian's eyes were full of curiosity: "What else do you want to do?"
"Just watch and learn well." Li Sisi stood up and walked towards Pei Yanli, who was carefully pinching the thin stems of the red tassel fruits under the red plum tree.
She sat down opposite Pei Yanli, picked up the red tassel fruit whose stems he had pinched clean, and ate it leisurely.
Chew chew chew.
"Pei Yanli, extend your hand."
Pei Yanli stretched out his hand, not understanding why.
Li Sisi frowned and said in a commanding tone, "Palms facing up."
Pei Yanli turned over his palm in confusion and saw Li Sisi spit out the tiny core of the red tassel fruit in her mouth into his palm.
Pei Yanli's mind quickly combined Li Sisi's behavior since he entered the Li residence, as well as the tone of Li Sisi's last refusal, and he said seriously and persistently, "Sisi, do you want me to give up? Is this your answer?"
The second fruit core in Li Sisi's mouth was stuck for a moment, and she didn't know whether she should continue.
Not angry, not trying to coax, just having such a serious discussion?
She was stunned, not knowing how to respond next. She couldn't just say "I'm testing you", right?
"I don't accept this result." Pei Yanli looked at him, his tone stubborn and sincere: "Sisi, what happened last time was my fault. You can punish me however you want, but I won't give up."
Li Sisi was stared at by his deep eyes, and she couldn't help swallowing the fruit core in her mouth into her throat.
"Well, I'm just...testing your patience." Eh? No, why did she say that? How can this be fun?!
Pei Yanli frowned, the doubt in his eyes gradually turned into understanding, and his taut lips curled up into an arc: "Then Sisi, continue?"
The fruit core was stuck in her throat and it was very uncomfortable. Li Sisi said a little disappointedly, "I don't want to eat it anymore."
Pei Yanli became nervous: "Was it my poor performance just now?"
Li Sisi neither nodded nor shook her head: "No, you continue." After that, she returned to her rattan chair and continued to lie down.
Li Nian asked her puzzledly, "What's wrong?"
Li Sisi looked at Pei Yanli, who was still pinching the thin stem of the red tassel fruit, and shook her head: "Nothing, just a fruit core stuck in my throat."
Upon hearing this, Li Nian quickly poured tea: "Hurry up and drink some tea to moisten your body."
Li Sisi took the tea, tilted her head back, drank it all, then took a bite of the cake and swallowed it.
After several attempts, the fruit core stuck in his throat was finally removed.
At this time, Pei Yanli had also finished and walked over.
Li Sisi asked him to peel oranges again, and Pei Yanli peeled the oranges obediently until he had peeled all the small oranges in the basket on the small table without any complaints.
"Show me another sword dance."
Li Sisi casually threw her sword next to her to Pei Yanli.
Pei Yanli caught it accurately and began to perform sword dancing.
Li Nian looked at Pei Yanli's powerful swordsmanship. Every movement was accompanied by the sound of the sword cutting through the air.
Li Nian turned her head to look at Li Sisi and found that her eyes were staring at her with admiration and envy.
When Pei Yanli finished his sword dance, Li Sisi clapped her hands vigorously: "Wow! Pei Yanli, your swordsmanship is so amazing! Teach me!"
Li Nian watched Li Sisi stand up and walk towards Pei Yanli, excited and agitated: "I didn't see several postures in your previous set clearly. Please practice it again, but move slowly."
"Si Xiang wants to learn swordsmanship from me?"
"I want to! I'm still learning swordsmanship from Xiao Zhang, and it's not as powerful as yours."
Li Nian watched as the two of them discussed sword techniques and gradually improved. Li Sisi had even started to learn a few moves.
No, sister, what happened to testing a man's patience? How did it become learning swordsmanship?
Since the time Pei Yanli taught Li Sisi swordsmanship, their relationship has finally eased.
Li Sisi's swordsmanship is also improving visibly.
Since that snowfall, the weather in the northwest has been sunny.
As the New Year was approaching, Xiao Yunyu did not come back, but he bought a lot of things.
He even wanted new clothes for the New Year custom-made, and specifically asked her if she had the colors and styles she wanted, but was rejected by Li Nian.
Li Nian asked Xiao Yunyu for his measurements and had three new sets of bright red clothes custom-made at a shop in the city.
In the military camp, Xiao Yunyu learned that Li Nian was going to personally customize New Year's clothes for him, and he was so happy that he wanted to show off everywhere.
Qi Heng, who had the best relationship with him and was often with him, was forced to listen to him bragging several times a day. He was so angry that he wrote another letter home, asking if there was a suitable candidate for the daughter-in-law he asked him to find last time.
Time flies like flowing water. Lovers who are separated from each other are tortured by longing every day. Every day feels like a year, but before they know it, the time for them to reunite has arrived.
Xiao Yunyu arranged the affairs of Xidi City and returned home to reunite with his family a few days before the New Year.
On the road, horses' hooves galloped like the wind.
At the Li residence, Li Nian was still talking to Li Sisi, waiting for Xiao Yunyu to come back and help her check the size.
Li Sisi looked unacceptable: "Sister, this is inappropriate, right?"
"What's inappropriate about that? Just think of it as looking at his profile, not the real thing."
Li Sisi blushed and took a breath: "If you want to know, can't you measure it yourself?"
"You can see, why should I measure it myself? Besides, if I measure it myself..." Li Nian felt ashamed just thinking about it. "And when he comes back, there's no way you won't see him, right? You're bound to see him anyway, so why don't you tell me when you see him? You told me, Brother Pei and Xiao Yunchen."
Li Sisi...was unable to refute. Why had she been so mean and discussed this with Nian Nian before!
"Master, you're back!" Xiaohong's surprised voice rang out.
The next moment, Xiao Yunyu appeared in the inner courtyard with a golden glowing hair.
