Hearing this, the others were somewhat tempted, but they thought about coming back with their shoes and socks soaked, which would not be a pleasant feeling.
"Third brother, you can't eat too much. It will make you get angry. Besides, you have to go chop trees tomorrow."
Chen Li was afraid that the killers chasing Pei Yu would chase him into the mountains, so she spoke out to stop them.
"Okay."
In fact, he is not afraid of getting angry at all, but his younger sister doesn't let him go to the mountains, so there must be a reason.
In the evening, Chen Li returned to the yard, looked at the light coming from the next room, thought for a while, and knocked on the door gently.
Tianqing quickly came over to open the door, “Miss Shen, please come in, the master is awake now.”
Pei Yu was leaning on the bed at this moment, his black hair draped over his shoulders, his eyes lowered, unknown what he was thinking about. He looked a little less cold and solemn than usual.
Tianqing didn't follow him in, but walked outside and closed the door.
Chen Li sat on the stool in front of the bed and asked calmly, "How do you feel?"
Pei Yu withdrew his thoughts, and his expression softened. "Much better."
Chen Li looked at him. To be honest, she was very shocked by the arrow he blocked for her today. At the same time, she also realized that Pei Yu might have developed some special feelings for her.
She has always been indifferent to love, because she has seen too many couples running away from each other when disaster strikes in the doomsday, and too many lovers turning against each other because of a little material, so she doesn't believe in it.
But now, Pei Yu did not say it directly. If it was exposed, wouldn’t it be very embarrassing?
Pei Yu looked at the girl's troubled expression, his eyes darkened, "A-Li, what do you want to say?"
His words instantly made Chen Li no longer entangled. His tone was so gentle that water could drip out of it. It meant that she was not overthinking.
Thinking of this, Chen Li had a polite smile on her face, “Master Pei, it’s better for you to call me Chen Li or Miss Chen.”
Just one sentence made the atmosphere in the room instantly cold. Pei Yu instantly understood what she wanted to express. She even forgot about the agreement that she would no longer call him Master Pei.
Chen Li looked at him, and Pei Yu met her gaze. After a while, Pei Yu lowered his eyes, hiding the determined paranoia in his eyes.
Then he raised his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him steadily, with a faint smile on his face and deep eyes, "Chen Li, what are you worried about?"
"What I did didn't cause you any trouble. These are just my wishful thinking. What are you worried about?"
Looking directly into his eyes, Shen Li wondered what she was worried about.
Are you worried that he will corrupt you with his sugar-coated bullets, or are you worried that his face will seduce you?
Maybe it was both, but Shen Li planned to stop there.
Pei Yu's identity is not simple, this is already known. It will be difficult for him to have peace in the future. Just look at the ambush he encountered recently. She has a family and cannot afford to take the risk.
"You're worrying too much. I'm not worried about anything. It's just that your status is too noble. It's not something that ordinary people like us can afford to provoke."
Her words were obvious, but...
"Chen Li, you provoked me first. Our fate has been destined to be inseparable since you saved me, ahem~"
After coughing for a while, his jade-like face turned slightly red. "You don't have to chase me away. I will leave in three days and won't be back for a while."
"Chen Li, give me two years. I will clean up everything and won't let you and your family fall into danger. Okay?"
Chen Li fell silent after hearing what he said. To be fair, Pei Yu and his family background were enough to make any girl's heart beat.
It's not like she hasn't wavered before, right?!
Just as she was about to open her mouth to speak, she heard Pei Yu say, "You don't have to answer me now. Can you wait for me for two years?"
The man looked at her with gentle eyes and a smile on his lips. His pupils were dark in color, and his amorous peach blossom eyes would grab her attention if she wasn't paying attention.
Chen Li came back to her senses, didn't say anything, stood up and left, she didn't know what answer to give him.
Reject? I don't think so.
Promise him, but it hasn't come to that yet.
All I can say is that he already has a little bit of weight in my heart. Although it is very little, it may be real and cannot be denied.
Seeing her turn and leave without saying a word, Pei Yu smiled widely and his eyes sparkled with twinkling lights.
Ali didn't refuse directly, which means he has a chance.
Otherwise, with her personality, she would have refused directly long ago and would not have given such an ambiguous attitude.
As soon as Tianqing came in, he saw his master sitting on the bed, grinning foolishly, with a very smug look on his face.
It seems that the master still has a chance with Miss Shen.
"Get ready and leave in three days."
Tianqing originally wanted to persuade his master to wait until his injuries were healed before leaving, but then he changed his mind and realized that he could not change the decision made by his master, so he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
"yes."
After returning to the room, Chen Li washed up and climbed into bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Pei Yu's words finally affected her.
I couldn't figure it out for a long time, so I just stopped thinking about it, wrapped myself in the quilt and went to sleep. Pei Yu was right next to me, so I couldn't enter the space at this time, otherwise I would be exposed.
When I woke up the next morning, it was still snowing outside. There was a thick layer of snow in the yard, but the snow on the road had been cleared.
Chen Li came to the dining room, but her third brother and Lu Jing were not there. They must be preparing for the Lushan College exam behind closed doors.
"Sister Ali, come and eat."
Chen Li walked over and sat down. After having breakfast, she originally planned to drive to Qingxi County by herself, but her father had already asked Lai Fu to wait outside, so she didn't refuse.
"Miss, we're here."
The shop given by the Lu family is located on the most prosperous Liuli Street. It has the best location and is a favorite place for wealthy people in the city.
Chen Li got out of the car and was a little surprised when she saw the three-story wooden building in front of her. She originally thought it was just an ordinary shop, but she didn't expect it to be a building.
This building has the graceful beauty of Jiangnan. Maybe because it is in my hands, the shop is now closed.
He turned around and got on the carriage. "Laifu, please walk along this street first and slow down."
"yes."
The carriage drove around Liuli Street for half an hour. During this time, Chen Li kept opening the carriage curtains and observing the shops on both sides of the road.
It's good that she has some money, but it has to come from a suitable source and can't just appear out of thin air.
Moreover, such a large family cannot live off their savings; there must be some income, so this shop must be used and cannot be abandoned.
But it’s really a headache. I haven’t figured out what to do with this shop?
