“This time it’s the left side,” Gu Liyan said with a confident smile.
Li Hao blinked and stopped what he was doing, staring in astonishment. He watched as Gu Liyan put down the tiny ball of paper in his hand and asked incredulously, "No way? Brother Gu, it's raining heavily outside. How did you hear such a soft sound?"
Li Hao waved his hand in front of Gu Liyan with some disbelief, "Or is it that your eyes have recovered, Brother Gu? You can see my movements now?"
Gu Liyan smiled faintly and said, "Didn't you see that my eyes are still covered with gauze?"
After speaking, Gu Liyan calmly picked up the teacup in front of her and took a sip. Seeing Gu Liyan's action, Li Hao pointed at her in surprise, "You still say you didn't? You can see the teacup in front of you!"
Gu Liyan shook her head. "No, I could only see a little bit of light. Besides, I had my eyes closed when I was testing it."
"Okay, you're amazing." Li Hao was completely in awe of Gu Liyan.
Li Hao sat by the window, watching the rain outside grow heavier and heavier, the pattering rain seeming to urge time on.
Li Hao sighed, looking out the window with some boredom. "This rain started last night, and it still hasn't stopped!"
Gu Liyan raised his head, his ears twitched slightly, and he heard the sound of rain in the distance. He said, "This rain will stop tonight. If you want to go out, you can go for a walk tonight."
"Huh? Brother Gu, you didn't actually hear it, did you?!" Li Hao stared at Gu Liyan in disbelief.
Gu Liyan smiled slightly. His sensitivity to the weather stemmed from his perception of the cold. The dark clouds quickly receded.
Gu Liyan didn't continue the topic, but instead said, "Can you go out and do me a favor tonight?"
"Ah, I know, Brother Gu wants me to buy some snacks, right? I understand!" Li Hao said with a smile.
"No, I want you to go to the Xianzhe Restaurant, have something to eat, and while you're at it, help me find out something!" Gu Liyan said with a smile.
"Huh? Can't we just eat downstairs? Why do we have to go to a restaurant several blocks away?"
Gu Liyan smiled like a fox, "Naturally, it's for the selection of virtuous people!"
—The rain really stopped at night.
Li Hao changed into Gu Liyan's white robe and came out. He looked up and glanced at the second floor with some concern. Gu Liyan was sitting in a wheelchair, standing there, seemingly looking at him.
Although Li Hao knew that Gu Liyan was blind, he still nodded to him, and Gu Liyan smiled at him in surprise.
Seeing Gu Liyan's smile, Li Hao felt a little more relaxed. He straightened his loose collar and turned to walk in one direction.
Idle Restaurant
It is a restaurant opened by Princess Qingge, a restaurant where beautiful women abound in the Weilong Kingdom, and the people who come and go are all high-ranking officials and nobles.
Here, you can enjoy fine wines, delicacies, and even dishes from the palace, as long as you have money!
This was the first time Li Hao had entered this luxurious restaurant alone. As soon as he entered, his elegant attire and youthful, handsome face caught the attention of the manager, Qi Yu.
"Oh my, young master, is this your first time here?" A fragrant aroma wafted over, and Qi Yu, dressed in her finest attire, greeted him directly.
Li Hao's face immediately turned red. It was the first time he had been so warmly received by a girl. He nodded and said shyly, "Yes, that's right."
"Little Green! Come and keep this young master company!" Qi Yu smiled slightly and hurriedly beckoned to Little Green, who looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old and was serving tea.
"Huh? I, I'm not—" Before Li Hao could finish speaking, he saw the girl turn around.
"Here I am!"
One glance was enough to captivate him. Unlike Li Erniang's mature demeanor, and unlike Qingge's ethereal beauty, she was like a lark, with a clear voice and a pure and lovely appearance.
Xiao Lü lowered her head slightly, looked shy, and bowed to Li Hao, saying, "Greetings, young master. I am Xiao Lü."
Li Hao paused for a moment, then said shyly, "Hello. My name is Li Hao."
Xiao Lü glanced at Li Hao with some surprise. Very few people here dared to reveal their real names, and the name Li Hao gave seemed to be his real name.
"What are you standing there for, Xiao Lü? Go upstairs with Young Master Li!" Qi Yu urged with a smile.
Xiao Lü nodded. "Young Master Li, please follow me."
Li Hao went up to the second floor with Xiao Lü and found a corner to sit down. He was quite reserved and didn't know what to say.
Xiao Lü looked at Li Hao and suddenly smiled, "Young Master Li, is this your first time in a place like this?"
"Huh? Ah! Yes!" Li Hao nodded blankly.
Xiao Lü covered her face and smiled, "May I ask which family's young master Li is from?"
"Me? I won't—"
Before Li Hao could finish speaking, he suddenly remembered Gu Liyan's instructions: Remember, no matter who asks about your background, you must not lower yourself.
Li Hao coughed lightly and said, "I've come from a very far place to do a big business deal in Weilong Country!"
Xiao Lü's eyes lit up. She looked at Li Hao with some surprise, sized him up, and smiled slightly. "Young Master Li is dressed in white. He does look... like a scholar."
"ah?"
Li Hao was stunned, then suddenly remembered Gu Liyan's words: "If someone says you are like a scholar, or if they look down on you in the slightest, then you should praise yourself as much as you can!"
"Ahem... I've been well-read since childhood and am incredibly knowledgeable! I know everything from astronomy to geography..." As soon as Li Hao finished speaking, a burst of laughter came from the table behind him.
"Haha, these young people nowadays, they'll say anything to win a girl's heart!" The middle-aged man, dressed in black, crossed his legs, one arm around a beautiful woman, and looked at Li Hao with a mocking expression.
