Just when Li Yang thought Ji Huaizhi would make the next move and was about to close his eyes nervously, a light laugh came from above.
Ji Huaizhi pulled his hand out from behind her waist and said, "It's getting late, go to bed early."
As he spoke, he reached out and turned off the light in the room, and the room instantly fell into darkness.
As his vision gradually adjusted to the darkness in the room, Li Yang blinked and quietly looked at Ji Huaizhi who was sleeping beside him.
He was still sleeping on the edge of the bed, more than twenty centimeters away from her, with one hand behind his head and his eyelashes lightly closed.
"Don't want to sleep yet?" Ji Huaizhi suddenly opened his eyes and looked in her direction. "Do some exercise before going to sleep?"
Li Yang quickly lay down, not daring to move: "I can sleep, I can sleep."
Having said that, after such a thrilling scare, Li Yang was completely unable to fall asleep.
There were many absurd thoughts running through her mind, but she rejected them one by one. She didn't know when she finally fell into a deep sleep.
Until she fell asleep, she was still wondering who Ji Huaizhi's white moonlight was.
In the dream, I slapped myself. No matter who it was, it wasn't her.

Because he went to bed late the night before, Li Yang woke up much later than usual the next morning.
When I woke up, I heard someone talking in low voices in the yard. When I listened carefully, I found it was Bai Li and Ji Huaizhi.
Li Yang rubbed her swollen eyebrows, opened the wardrobe, and in front of a small pile of old clothes in old colors on the outside and two large piles of brand new clothes inside, she reached over the clothes outside and reached for the clothes inside.
With so many new clothes, aren't you going to let them rot away without wearing them?
What she has to do after the New Year is more than just wearing new clothes boldly. Why would she care about the opinions of so many people?
Li Yang picked out a goose yellow turtleneck sweater, a dark coat and skinny pants. He looked at each part of his body in the small round mirror hanging on the wall. When he saw that everything looked good, he went out with satisfaction.
Ji Huaizhi was originally listening to Bai Li talking, but when he saw Li Yang, he was stunned for a moment before saying, "He's up."
Facing Bai Li's astonished and scrutinizing gaze, Li Yang nodded shyly: "Yes, it's up." As he spoke, he pulled up his collar, looking like he was trying to cover up something.
Bai Li's gaze fell on her neck, which she tried to cover, but she couldn't see anything. Her eyes were deep and gloomy. "Miss Li, did you not sleep well last night?"
Li Yang first glanced at Ji Huaizhi reproachfully before saying, "I slept a little late and couldn't get up in the morning."
Bai Li clenched her palms in response to Li Yang's hint, feeling suffocated.
She forced herself to smile and said to Ji Huaizhi: "Huaizhi, let's go."
Ji Huaizhi nodded: "Okay."
Facing Li Yang's puzzled look, Ji Huaizhi explained, "I'll take Bai Li to Gangzi's house and talk to Chen Hong."
Chen Hong is Chen Gang's sister, the one who helped Li Yang pick clothes last time. Li Yang knows her.
She nodded, not looking jealous at all, and said with a smile, "Okay, you go."
Just then, Sister Qian knocked on the door. Seeing Li Yang dressed up, her eyes lit up and she said, "That's right. Young girls like you should wear bright colors. It looks really good!"
Li Yang responded graciously to Sister Qian's praise and asked, "Sister Qian, are we leaving now?"
Yesterday she had agreed with Sister Qian that she would go to the market with her to buy vegetables.
Sister Qian looked at Li Yang's sleepy face and smiled, "That's right. Today is New Year's Eve. We have to go early, otherwise the good things will be gone if we're late."
When Li Yang heard this, he became anxious: "Wait for me, I'll get a bag."
Seeing Li Yang's hurried look, Ji Huaizhi pulled her back and said, "Don't worry, it doesn't matter if you're late. The breakfast is warm in the pot. Eat it first."
Li Yang got up late today, so he went to the alley entrance to buy breakfast and was heating it in the pot.
Sister Qian also said, "Yes, yes, yes, eat breakfast first."
She also came over in advance to tell Li Yang that waiting another ten minutes would not be a problem.
Li Yang shook her head and said, "No, how can I let you wait for me?" She couldn't waste Sister Qian's time because of herself.
Seeing Li Yang like this, Ji Huaizhi stopped trying to persuade him and took out a stack of bills from his pocket: "I think we'll be buying a lot of things today, take them all."
Li Yang was unwilling to accept it: "No, I haven't used up the money you gave me last time."
Seeing the two of them pushing and shoving each other, Sister Qian smiled, took the money, and stuffed it into Li Yang's hand: "Silly girl, just take the money your man gives you, no matter how much it is."
Ji Huaizhi was away for a while, and many rumors about Li Yang and other men spread in the village. Later, Ji Huaizhi brought Bai Li back, and the rumors could not be stopped. She was worried that the two had really broken up, but now seeing them like this, she felt relieved.
Sister Qian had said this much, so Li Yang didn't refuse anymore. He took the money, took another bun from the pot, and went out with her.
Bai Li looked in the direction the two had left and saw that Ji Huaizhi's eyes were still on Li Yang. He seemed to sigh with emotion: "You two seem to have a good relationship."
Hearing this, Ji Huaizhi turned around and corrected, "It's indeed very good."
Bai Li smiled as a response to his words.

Sister Qian is indeed a good housekeeper. The market she took Li Yang to this time is a local comprehensive agricultural market. It not only has a variety of things, but also many wholesale goods, and the prices are much cheaper than retail.
Sister Qian said, "If you like something and think it's too much, just share it with me. I have a big family."
In addition to the couple and Yao Yunxiang, Sister Qian's family also has a son who is in junior high school. As the saying goes, a grown-up boy can eat his father out of poverty. The youngest son is in the growing stage, so I am afraid that I am not giving him enough, and it is far from the time to give him too much.
Li Yang nodded as he searched for something to buy: "Okay, I understand."
The farmers' market here is a bit far away, and it's rare for her to come here. In addition to the vegetables to be eaten during the New Year, she also bought some dry goods that can be stored for a longer time, such as melon seeds and candies.
After the two of them had searched for a while, it was already noon. They went to the noodle shop next door and had a bowl of noodles before slowly going back.
The two returned home with a full load and were in a good mood. However, when they were about to reach their home, they saw that the door was surrounded by people. They also heard unbearable shouting and cursing, as well as low sobbing. These two sounds were very familiar to Li Yang.
Sister Qian's expression also changed: "Let's go and take a look."
