Chapter 21
The rain has stopped and it's time to go back to the city.
Before leaving, the Li family came out to see them off.
Li Daniu held up a few fish and handed them to Luo Ting. His face, tanned from years of working in the fields, wore a simple smile. "Little brother, thank you for your help yesterday. I went to the river and caught a few fish. Your wife is pregnant, so I'll give them some to nourish her."
Yu Zhi held his forehead helplessly.
He couldn't understand why this family was so sure that he and Luo Tingshi were husband and wife?
Yesterday, he repeatedly explained that Li Daniu's mother finally believed that he was a man. However, the Li family was not too surprised by this. The world is full of surprises, not to mention that a man from the royal family of Yu could also have children.
They just thought he had special blood.
But when he said that he had nothing to do with Luo Tingshi, no one took him seriously.
Yu Zhi watched as Li Daniu pulled Luo Tingshi aside. The two of them were whispering to each other, and the sound of their conversation drifted clearly into Yu Zhi's ears.
"Little brother, I see your wife has a very good temper. You must have made her angry, so she's upset with you. When you're living together as a couple, don't always worry about your husband's face. You should bow your head when you need to. Your wife is still pregnant, so you should go along with her and coax her more. Husband and wife don't hold grudges overnight. If you make her happy, she won't be angry with you anymore."
"Thank you for your guidance, Brother Li. I will learn from your teachings and I will definitely treat my wife well."
Yu Zhi: “…”
It would be fine if they had mistaken me, but what's hateful is that Luo Tingshi has taken advantage of me verbally in the past two days.
snort.
Yu Zhi raised his chin slightly and said to the man, "It's time to go back to the city. Come here quickly."
Li Daniu smiled and said, "Your wife is urging you to go now."
After thanking Li Daniu, Luo Tingshi walked towards Yu Zhi, holding the fish. The kitten nestled in Yu Zhi's arms twitched its ears, tugged at Yu Zhi's sleeve, poked its head out, and saw the plump fish in Luo Tingshi's hand, meowing excitedly.
Luo Tingshi raised his eyebrows: "This is not for you to eat."
Yu Zhi smiled and nodded the little head in his arms: "Little greedy cat, you can't eat these now."
The kitten seemed to understand what he said, meowing weakly before falling back into Yu Zhi's arms. It had been brought back from the brink of death by Imperial Doctor Zhang, but it was now too weak and sickly, and needed careful care for some time.
Yu Zhi planned to take the kitten home to raise.
"Brother, can I go visit the kitten later?" Li Huanhuan trotted to Yu Zhi and looked up at him eagerly.
Yu Zhi bent down, so he was eye-level with Li Huanhuan, and said gently, "Of course." He took off the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to the girl. "If you want to see it, take it to the county governor's office, and someone will take you to me."
Li Huanhuan cheered and smiled sweetly at Yu Zhi: "Thank you, brother."
Yu Zhi narrowed his eyes.
When Luo Tingshi saw this scene, he felt a swelling in his heart, as if something was clamoring and wanted to rush out of his chest.
strangeness.
Luo Tingshi raised his hand to cover his chest. The heart under his palm was beating strongly. He carefully felt the unfamiliar emotion and lowered his eyes to think about the reason for it.
He knew that this was because of Yu Zhi.
But why?
"What's wrong with you?" Yu Zhi said goodbye to Li Huanhuan. When he passed by Luo Ting, he saw a strange expression on his face. His eyes unconsciously fell on his chest, which he was holding. Yu Zhi frowned, "Are you sick?"
Luo Tingshi came back to his senses and smiled at him: "It's okay."
"Oh." Yu Zhi said nothing more, walked past him, stepped out of the wooden door, and left the courtyard.
Doctor Zhang and his group were waiting for them outside. There were gusts of cold wind, and the kitten in Yu Zhi's arms spontaneously crawled under his sleeves, covering himself tightly.
Yu Zhi couldn't help but laugh. He withdrew his gaze from the kitten, glanced around, and was instantly in trouble.
The road was so muddy after the heavy rain that there was no place to step.
Yu Zhi lifted the hem of his clothes, walked around the small puddle in front of him, and walked forward carefully.
The guard quickly stepped forward, held out his arm, and said, "Let me support you."
Yu Zhi raised his hand, about to touch the guard's arm, but was suddenly intercepted. A large, calloused hand forcibly took his hand away, then grasped his waist, half-holding him in its embrace.
"I'll do it." A low voice came into my ears.
Yu Zhi tilted his head and saw a familiar handsome face. He said unhappily, "Luo Tingshi, you've overstepped the bounds."
He never learns his lesson.
He still thinks he is the emperor who is high above everyone else, always imposing his will on him without asking his thoughts.
Yu Zhi hated this about him the most.
Seeing that Yu Zhi was angry, Luo Tingshi immediately let go of him, bowed and raised his arm: "I was wrong, can I help you walk?"
Yu Zhi rolled his eyes, extended his hand to the guard beside him, and snorted softly: "No need."
Luo Tingshi raised his head in confusion, and the two people's arms clasped together suddenly jumped into his eyes. A fierce light flashed in Luo Tingshi's eyes, and his black eyes slowly moved towards Yu Zhi. The aura around him was extremely low, and his face was ashen.
The guard shuddered with fear. Yu Zhi sensed his fear and patted the guard's arm soothingly.
Luo Tingshi caught Yu Zhi's little movement out of the corner of his eye, his eyes darkened, his thin lips tightened into a line, and his facial expression became more terrifying.
"Luo Tingshi, who are you trying to scare?" Yu Zhi glanced at him with a look of surprise on his face.
He is unhappy, and I am not happy either.
Luo Tingshi stared at Yu Zhi, took a step forward, and placed his thin lips next to Yu Zhi's ear. A voice that only the two of them could hear rang out: "You promised me that as long as you withdraw your troops, you will not get entangled with other men. Are you going back on your word?"
Yu Zhi: “?”
He couldn't help but curse: "Luo Tingshi, are you sick?"
What does it mean to be entangled with other men?
Is it considered harassment if the guard helps him?
Yu Zhiqi laughed.
Luo Tingshi's voice was deep: "I have never touched other men or women. You are the only one for me. I can ignore your past, but from now on, you can only have me by your side."
As he spoke, Yu Zhi felt a slight tingling sensation in his ears.
This is the scab that formed on Luo Tingshi's lip after he bit her the day before yesterday.
Doctor Zhang's medicine was very effective. The slap marks on Luo Tingshi's face disappeared yesterday morning, but the flesh on his mouth would probably take a few days to grow back.
"Yu Zhi, your words are not joking."
The man was still talking, his voice was unstable, as if he was suppressing some intense emotion.
Yu Zhi frowned slightly, realizing that something was wrong when he arrived at Luo Ting. He spoke reluctantly, "Okay, I agree."
The moment Yu Zhi withdrew his hand, the guards ran back as if they had been pardoned, hiding behind several guards to avoid the scary look.
Luo Tingshi finally got what he wanted and held Yu Zhi in his arms again. The coldness around him gradually dissipated. He pinched his fingers and said, "This road is not easy to walk on. Let me carry Your Majesty and walk."
Yu Zhi shook his head: "Wouldn't it be more dangerous if you held me?"
Luo Tingshi smiled: "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you and your son."
As he said that, he leaned over and picked up Yu Zhi horizontally.
Yu Zhi: “…”
Too lazy to talk about him.
Yu Zhi raised his hand and put it around Luo Tingshi's neck, found a comfortable position and leaned in his arms, thinking about Luo Tingshi's strange behavior just now.
What happened to him?
Yu Zhi had never seen Luo Tingshi like this.
I felt a little worried.
