Li Yang's brain froze for a moment.
The surroundings were noisy and there seemed to be a crowd of people constantly crowding in, but she felt like she was in a dream, and even the ground beneath her feet seemed to be floating.
She could only cling to him helplessly, like a vine clinging to the tall tree in front of her, as if isolated from the hustle and bustle.
Someone in the crowd exclaimed in surprise, and Li Yang suddenly came back to his senses and immediately stepped back.
She covered her lips and looked at his Adam's apple in disbelief.
Ji Huaizhi's eyes were deep, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, he wanted to speak but didn't know how to start.
Li Yang lowered his head in panic and said, "Well, I don't want to watch it anymore. I'm going home first."
She was like a child who had done something wrong and just wanted to escape from the scene as quickly as possible.
She didn't know why, but it seemed that whenever she was with Ji Huaizhi, intentionally or unintentionally, things would always get out of control.
She clearly wanted to work like a slave for Ji Huaizhi to repay him, but gradually, she seemed to have become more and more accustomed to the identity of Mrs. Ji, and even regarded herself as the real Mrs. Ji. This kind of out-of-control behavior was too dangerous for her.
Just when her heart was in a mess, her hand was taken by someone and held tightly in his palm.
A warm, slightly rough, familiar touch came, and Li Yang subconsciously turned around and bumped into Ji Huaizhi's eyes.
He frowned slightly, as if a little confused by her reaction, and then he said, "I'll go back with you."
After saying that, without allowing any resistance, he took her hand and walked against the flow of people towards home.
Li Yang followed behind, looking at Ji Huaizhi's broad back. That back was like a majestic mountain, like a tree standing tall in the wind and rain, clearing a way home for her.
She touched her pounding heart.
She thought that she had lost her heart after spending time with him day and night.

In the evening, Li Jianhai and Feng Mei actually came to the door.
Li Yang opened the courtyard door, and in the dim light of the street lamp outside, he seemed to see deep and shallow marks on the two people's faces.
When she moved aside to let the light from the yard shine on them, she saw that both of them had bruised faces and noses.
Li Jianhai had scratches on his face and around his eyes, and Feng Mei had bruises on the corners of her mouth and cheekbones.
Needless to say, the two men started fighting.
This was the first time the two had fought since Li Yang grew up.
After all, for so many years, it was basically Feng Mei who was the one who attacked Li Jianhai unilaterally. If she got angry, she would pull or twist him, but Li Jianhai never resisted. At most, he would slam the door and leave, and come back in a cowardly manner at night.
So, what exactly caused the two people to fight each other this time?
Thinking of the custom of returning to the old house for dinner on New Year's Eve, Li Yang guessed that the reason for the fight must be related to this.
Li Jianhai felt his face burning as Li Yang scrutinized him. He rubbed his hands and said, "Well, we have something to talk to you about. Can we go in?"
Feng Mei was also a little dissatisfied: "It's so cold outside, why don't you invite us in to sit down?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Jianhai secretly pulled her and signaled her to speak in a less aggressive tone.
Feng Mei rolled her eyes in annoyance, pursed her lips and said nothing.
No one comes to the temple for no reason. Li Yang didn't want to let the two in, but he also knew that if he refused them the door, someone might cause trouble.
He replied without much enthusiasm: "Come in."
The two entered the yard and found that it was still as simple and deserted as when they came before, except for a few pots of vegetables by the wall and a little more of the smell of fireworks.
Li Jianhai suddenly felt uncertain whether it was the right decision for him to come here today.
Ever since he had a fight with Feng Mei on New Year's Eve, and had both vented his anger and suffered some pain, he thought about it all night and finally decided to let Li Yang and Ji Huaizhi go back to the old house with them on the second day of the new year.
If nothing else, it was for the two of them to vent his anger in front of the people in the old house.
Yang Chunhua and Li Jianren had repeatedly urged him to maintain a good relationship with Li Yang, saying that Ji Huaizhi was no ordinary person. They lived in the same hunting village, and he thought he could tell whether the Ji family had money or not, but he was just a pauper.
However, as Ji Huaizhi spent money to buy Bai Li a lot of things from department stores, and Li Yang changed into new clothes, they became uncertain, especially during this year's New Year's Eve dinner, when Yang Chunhua pulled him aside and nagged him about this matter again.
Li Jianren never does anything that is not beneficial to himself, and Yang Chunhua never talks nonsense. They remind him again and again, so Ji Huaizhi must be really capable.
So early in the morning, Li Jianhai decided to let Feng Mei go with him to persuade Li Yang to go back to the old house with them.
Before leaving, they had agreed to give Li Yang some advice, but as soon as they saw Li Yang, their parental attitude unconsciously came out, and they spoke to Li Yang in a bossy manner. Fortunately, Li Jianhai reacted in time and avoided a quarrel as soon as they met.
Li Yang poured tea for the two of them and sat opposite them: "Tell me, what's the matter."
Li Jianhai looked around: "Xiao Ji is not at home?"
This was the first time that Li Jianhai called Ji Huaizhi "Xiao Ji" instead of other insulting names, and Li Jianhai did this obviously for Ji Huaizhi.
This is interesting.
Li Yang: "He's out for something. Just tell me if you have anything."
After being idle at home for a few days during the New Year holiday, the two returned home in the morning and Chen Gang came to find them. Ji Huaizhi went out with him and even had dinner outside.
Hearing this, Li Jianhai felt a little lost. He stroked the cup and wondered how to start his next words.
In his eyes, people like Ji Huaizhi are very opinionated, and Li Yang is afraid that he cannot be his master.
Feng Mei had sharp eyes and discovered the gift from Gao Xinchen that Li Yang had placed in the corner of the main room, covered with a cloth.
She stood up, walked a few steps to the gift, and without waiting for Li Yang's reaction, she lifted the cloth. The gift, which was beautifully packaged and obviously valuable, instantly dazzled her eyes.
She pointed at the pile of gifts and looked at Li Yang with dissatisfaction: "Li Yang, I'm not saying anything to you, but if you really don't have money, then forget it. You have so many good things at home, but why don't you send some to your parents' home?"
This time, she changed from her original skeptical attitude to completely believing what Li Jianren and Yang Chunhua said. Her cheap son-in-law might really be a rich man!
Li Jianhai also stood up in surprise, walked to the gift and looked at it again and again.
There were some English printed on them that he couldn't understand, but he knew the individual packaging. They were all high-end products, high-end products that money couldn't buy!
Li Yang looked at their reactions coldly, took a sip of hot water, and then said calmly, "We didn't buy it, someone gave it to us."
"Someone else gave it to you? Are you treating your mother like a child?" Feng Mei walked quickly to Li Yang. "Who could give you such a bunch of good things?"
Li Yang glanced at her lightly, then looked at Li Jianhai with a hint of sarcasm on his face: "He's the adulterer I've been hearing about."
Feng Mei: “!”
Li Jianhai: “!”
