"Call me by my name."

Jiang Li looked up at Shen Tingsi. From the moment they exchanged names, the distance between them was invisibly shortened.

"Okay." Shen Tingsi nodded in agreement, and then blurted out: "Li'er."

He stared at Jiang Li in his arms, his voice charming and seductive.

A blush flashed across Jiang Li's face very quickly, and she pretended to be calm as she withdrew from Shen Tingsi's arms.

"My parents interrupted me yesterday and I missed the appointment. Let's go. Today I will take Master Shen to taste the fine wine and delicacies of Jiangnan."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked forward, leaving behind a slightly flustered figure.

Shen Tingsi curled his lips and followed with a few big steps.

Jiang Li didn't bring Qingzhu out today, and Feng Jue was also sent by Shen Tingsi to deal with Zhou Qingyuan's affairs, so only the two of them went together.

Although many people followed the soldiers to the government office, there were still many vendors shouting hard on both sides of the street.

He turns a deaf ear to what's happening outside and only focuses on making money through hard work.

"Tanghulu, sour and sweet Tanghulu!"

"Begonia pastry, freshly made Begonia pastry, don't miss it if you pass by!"

"Kites for sale. All kinds of kites to satisfy you!"

The vendors' shouts were getting louder and louder, drowning out the voices of Jiang Li and Shen Tingsi.

In order to talk to Jiang Li more conveniently, Shen Tingsi had to lower his head and put his ear close to her to shorten the distance between them.

Jiang Li's breath sprayed on Shen Tingsi's earlobe, making his ears instantly red enough to bleed.

Jiang Li raised her eyebrows upon seeing this and continued talking to him with a teasing look on her face.

"Mr. Shen, there are three famous restaurants in Jiangnan, Zuixianlou, Piaoxianglou and Fumanlou. Which one do you want to go to?"

As Jiang Li breathed into Shen Tingsi's ear, a tingling sensation immediately spread from his earlobe to his entire body.

He looked calm on the surface, but his hands were already clenched into a ball under his sleeves.

Just as he was about to speak——

"Oh, sorry, sorry, are you okay, sir?"

A vendor accidentally bumped into Jiang Li's back while setting up his stall, and Jiang Li's whole body instantly leaned forward!

Shen Tingsi's body suddenly tensed up when he felt the wet touch on his earlobe! Jiang Li's eyes widened at the sudden situation. At this moment, her cherry lips were pressed against Shen Tingsi's red earlobe, and she could clearly feel the burning heat of his earlobe.

"Sir, are you okay?"

The vendor quickly put down the bamboo board in his hand and ran towards Jiang Li.

After coming to her senses, Jiang Li took two steps back and put some distance between herself and Shen Tingsi.

"No, nothing."

"It's all right, it's all right, sir, I'm so sorry!"

Even though Jiang Li had said that everything was fine, the vendor still bowed to her with an apologetic look on his face.

Shen Tingsi straightened up, an abnormal blush appearing on his face.

He pursed his lips to calm his pounding heart, but... he couldn't calm it down.

Plop, plop——

My heart was pounding.

The turmoil in my heart could not calm down for a long time.

Shen Tingsi pretended to be calm and turned to look at Jiang Li beside him. Coincidentally, Jiang Li also looked up at him.

After Jiang Li finished speaking, she took the lead and walked forward, leaving Shen Tingsi standing there alone.

Shen Tingsi subconsciously raised his hand and touched his left earlobe. He still clearly remembers the wet touch.

His Adam's apple slid slightly, and his gaze towards Jiang Li deepened a little.

Jiang Li walked all the way to the stall selling hairpins and jewelry to hide her embarrassment. As soon as she arrived at the shop, the proprietress warmly entertained her.

"Sir, are you buying hairpins? Take a look at which ones you like. These hairpins are all new styles. I heard that the ladies in the imperial city all wear hairpins of this style!"

The proprietress looked at Jiang Li with a smile and enthusiastically introduced the hairpins on the stall to her.

Jiang Li took two breaths in front of the stall, and in order to hide her embarrassment, she looked seriously at the hairpin jewelry in front of her.

"Does this gentleman want to buy a hairpin as well?"

After seeing Shen Tingsi, the proprietress couldn't close her mouth.

What day is it today? There are actually two elegantly dressed gentlemen visiting her stall! Jiang Li, who was selecting hairpins for Jiang Mu and Qing Zhu, caught a glimpse of Shen Tingsi from the corner of her eye. The scene just now instantly emerged in her mind, and she turned around and went somewhere else in shame.

"Hey, you're not buying it, sir?"

Seeing Jiang Li leaving in a hurry, the proprietress subconsciously shouted at her back, which made Jiang Li walk faster...

The proprietress scratched her head and muttered, "He was fine just now, why did he suddenly run away?"

Does she look so scary? Thinking of this, the proprietress raised her hand to touch her face, then looked down at her clothes.

There was nothing wrong with that. She cleaned herself up before going out! The boss lady thought that she had scared Jiang Li away, but Shen Tingsi knew that Jiang Li was hiding from him, not the boss lady.

"Sir, are you going to buy a hairpin for my lady?"

After the proprietress finished muttering to herself, she noticed Shen Tingsi still standing in front of the stall and asked politely.

Shen Tingsi, who originally wanted to chase Jiang Li, stopped after hearing the word "wife". He turned his head to look at the proprietress.

"Madam?"

"Yes, you are a handsome man, and your wife must be beautiful too, right? These hairpins of mine are all new styles, I guarantee that your wife will look like a fairy when she wears them!"

Shen Tingsi's heart moved, and he nodded under the gaze of the proprietress: "Well, buy one for my wife."

Just because the proprietress said "your wife", Shen Tingsi stopped in front of the shop and started to pick out the hairpins in front of him. Finally, he picked out a hairpin with a simple yet elegant style, and hid it in his sleeve along with the decorative box.

There was a faint smile on his lips, and all he was thinking about was what Jiang Li would look like wearing the hairpin.

Wife.

He repeated the name silently in his mind.

It seems... more intimate than Li'er.

Jiang Li and Shen Tingsi finally came to Zuixianlou according to the principle of proximity and ordered a table full of fine wine and delicious food.

At first, Jiang Li avoided Shen Tingsi's sight because of what happened just now, but as she drank glass after glass of wine, she soon forgot about what happened just now.

"Master Shen, I toast you with this bowl. You have saved me from danger so many times. I'll drink it. Master Shen, please do as you please!"

After Jiang Li finished speaking, she raised the wine bowl and tapped it lightly on the table, then raised her head and drank it all in one gulp.

Because she drank too quickly, the wine flowed down the corners of her mouth, flowing down her chin, neck, and finally into her moon-white clothes.

Shen Tingsi didn't touch the drink in his hand, and looked at Jiang Li who was drinking across from him with a smile.

Silly boy, you are grateful to me for saving you from the fire and water, but shouldn't I be grateful for your appearance in my world?

The next card is under review and will probably be released after 12 o'clock.
