"Now!"
Chen Li didn't say it directly, but when she saw that he was a little nervous, she decided not to tease him.
"She's still as beautiful as ever, but..." Chen Li withdrew from his embrace, stood on tiptoe, and patted his shoulder, "Prince Jingnan still needs to pay attention to maintenance!"
Pei Yu's mood was fluctuating. If someone else had said that she was beautiful, he would probably be gone by now.
But if this person were Chen Li, he would be very glad that he had such an excellent appearance.
I heard Ali say that she needs to pay attention to skin care. Indeed, after staying in the north for so long, her skin has become a little rough.
Pei Yu secretly made up his mind that he must not hurt his face in the future, and he must pay special attention to maintenance.
He was not angry because Chen Li liked his face. After all, not everyone could have this face.
"Okay, then Ah Li, remember to supervise me from now on."
Chen Li chuckled. It was originally a joke, but she didn't expect that this man took it seriously and really thought that she was just doing it for his face.
I put my arms around his waist, put my cheek against his chest, listened to his strong heartbeat, and felt very at ease.
Pei Yu enjoyed her closeness very much. He held her in his strong arms and spun her around a few times.
In the past, he couldn't even imagine that he would do such a childish thing.
Startled by the sudden movement, Shen Li wrapped her arms around his waist.
Pei Yu only turned a few times before stopping and looking down at the girl in his arms.
Chen Li looked up and met his gentle and affectionate eyes. She moved her hands from his waist, supported his shoulders, jumped up, and wrapped her slender legs around his thin waist.
Pei Yu subconsciously dragged her, Chen Li hugged his neck and kissed his crimson lips directly.
As soon as the war was over, this man came to find her at lightning speed. Needless to say, the hardship of his journey was immense. Just for this thoughtfulness, Chen Li deserved to reward him.
As for men, they should be rewarded when they do the right thing. In a relationship, it cannot be that only one party silently gives. If the person being loved does not respond, his enthusiasm will fade over time, and such a relationship will not last long.
Pei Yu's hands gradually tightened, wishing he could rub her into his body, but he controlled his strength so as not to make her feel uncomfortable.
A gust of wind blew, rolling up the fallen leaves on the ground. When it brushed past the two of them, it added a bit of elegance to the couple hugging each other in the yard.
"Ayu, are you here alone?"
Chen Li's cheeks were slightly red, and there were still traces of the intimacy left on her lips.
Pei Yu carried her to the pavilion in the yard and put her down. He found a place to sit down, picked up the teapot, poured a cup for Chen Li first, and then drank three cups of tea in a row for himself before stopping.
"The war in the north ended twenty days ago, and the main force just returned to the capital. Captain Shen and I left the team and came here first."
"My eldest brother is back too?"
"Yes, I'm chatting with my uncle and others in front now."
Chen Li also wanted to go see her elder brother, after all, she hadn't seen him for half a year, but when she saw Pei Yu beside her, she gave up the idea.
My eldest brother is back and won’t be leaving for a while. Let’s go see him while we eat.
"It's over so quickly, are you hurt?"
It’s no wonder Chen Li thought too much. In just one month there, she saw him injured twice. Now that the war ended so quickly, he must have been injured.
Pei Yu coughed uncomfortably and said, "No, if I were injured, I wouldn't dare to hurry on."
However, I didn't smell any blood on him, but judging from his guilty look, he must have a lot of scars on his body.
I didn't say anything more about him. He was now safe in front of me, and none of that mattered anymore.
"You should be staying in the capital, why are you here again?"
Pei Yu straightened his expression and said, "Ali, I'm here for a serious matter. Captain Shen has made great contributions in the battle against the Tatars. When the army returns to the capital, it's time to reward them."
Chen Li understood what he meant. He meant that his elder brother might be able to become a general.
"Great contribution, tell me in detail what happened?"
Pei Yu can describe it as a great contribution, which shows that this contribution is not small. You know, this kind of contribution is not easy to get.
Pei Yu's body stiffened. "Why don't you go ask your brother-in-law?"
Shen Li glanced at him and said, "What brother-in-law? It's too early to call him that. If I ask him, won't it be the same as what he said to you?"
Pei Yu hesitated for only a few seconds before choosing to speak, having forgotten that he had solemnly promised Shen Jingyuan that this would be kept secret from the Shen family.
It was a good thing that he agreed at that time, but Pei Yu really wanted to tell him that when the rewards were given out, this matter would be known to everyone and could not be concealed at all.
So, when Shen Li asked, he just said it directly.
"It's like this. The breakthrough in this battle took place in the grasslands. Captain Shen led a group of people deep into the grasslands for two months before they found out the location of the enemy's main camp."
Chen Li sucked in a breath of cold air. These two men were braver than each other. They went deep into the enemy's territory and were not afraid of never coming back.
Haven’t you heard that a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake?
The tribes on the grassland were originally scattered, and they often changed locations. It really shows that they are very skilled and bold.
Pei Yu touched the tip of his nose. He was the one who agreed to this matter. He hoped that Ali would not implicate him, an innocent person.
I took several deep breaths and finally calmed down a little the anger in my heart. It was too late to talk about this now, it would only add to my troubles.
However, I have to tell my sister-in-law about this someday. Otherwise, if my brother works so hard next time, I don’t know if he will have such good luck again.
"Are you hurt?"
"Yes, they are all minor injuries. They will recover after a period of rest."
Chen Li now feels a little regretful. Was it a mistake to let her elder brother join the army?
After all, you can't just quit the army whenever you want. What's more, my brother's military rank is not low now, so he can't avoid leading troops to fight.
"Well, let's not talk about that anymore. Come, follow me in and I'll show you something good."
Pei Yu had already realized what the good stuff Chen Li was talking about was, and a faint sense of anticipation rose in his heart.
