Chapter 446: The Scheming Brother-in-law vs. the Unmarried Sister-in-law (30)



After Jiang Li made her wish, Xiao Heng quickly retracted his gaze and closed his eyes.

Jiang Li tilted her head and looked at him. The young man was wearing a crimson purple robe, with a high nose bridge, eyebrows like cold swords, and crow-feather-like eyelashes drooping, leaving a light shadow under his eyes.

The superior jawline makes his whole face more three-dimensional, and his noble temperament radiates from the inside out. It is simply the graduation work of the goddess Nuwa.

Impeccably refined.

Being stared at by her like that, Xiao Heng felt a little guilty.

Could it be that she discovered something? Could it be that she saw the name he wrote on the wish monument just now? Xiao Heng's eyelids trembled slightly, and he couldn't pretend anymore, so he slowly opened his eyes.

"Why are you staring at me like that, Ali?"

Xiao Heng turned his head and his eyes met Jiang Li's.

Jiang Li's eyes were curved, and Xiao Heng's face was reflected in her clear pupils.

"Ah Heng is really good-looking."

After saying that, she turned and walked to the side: "Master Hui En's lecture is about to begin, let's go and see if it's an old friend."

Xiao Heng came back to his senses only after Jiang Li walked some distance away. Her words praising his beauty echoed in his ears, and his earlobes turned red.

"Ali, wait for me."

He raised his foot and chased after him, the joy on his face unable to be concealed.

When the two arrived at Master Hui En's lecture, the Buddhist hall was already full of people. They walked lightly and found a corner to sit down.

As soon as the morning hour arrived, Master Hui En appeared at the lecture on time.

Jiang Li smiled when she saw the familiar figure.

Xiao Heng leaned towards her and asked in a low voice, "Is the Master Huien in front of you the same person as Ah Li is talking about?"

Jiang Li didn't say anything. When she looked at Master Hui En, Master Hui En also looked at her, and their eyes met in the air.

Master Hui En looked at her with a smile, then glanced at Xiao Heng beside her, and the smile in his eyes deepened.

"Ali, Ali?"

Seeing that Jiang Li didn't respond, Xiao Heng called her twice in a low voice.

"It's him, let's go."

Jiang Li grabbed his sleeve and led him out of the Buddhist hall.

"Heng, I'm hungry, is there any place to eat nearby?"

Jiang Li held Xiao Heng's sleeve with one hand and rubbed her belly with the other.

"Then you've asked the right person. There's a town nearby with lots of delicious food. Come on, I'll take you to try some!"

The two hit it off immediately and decided to go to town to eat.

Xiao Heng was tall and had long legs. He deliberately slowed down his movements to match Jiang Li's pace, letting her pull his sleeves.

When passing by the Bodhi tree, Xiao Heng looked up at the wish monument.

It’s great that the wish monument with his and Ali’s names on it is still hanging there.

Does this mean that Ali is the one who can spend the rest of his life with him?

——

The two came to the town that Xiao Heng mentioned. The town was very lively and all kinds of aromas filled the air. Jiang Li was so hungry that her stomach growled.

"Ali, what do you want to eat?"

Everything for Xiao Heng revolves around Jiang Li. She eats whatever she says to eat and buys whatever she says to buy. Today he will be responsible for playing with her, helping her carry things, being her driver, and letting her do whatever she wants!

Jiang Li glanced around the town and her eyes fell on the steaming wonton blanket in front of her.

"Let's go have a bowl of wontons to warm ourselves up, shall we? There are a lot of customers, so it should taste good."

Jiang Li pointed to the wonton stall in front, grabbed Xiao Heng's sleeve and pulled him forward.

"Waiter, give me two bowls of wontons, and bring all your signature snacks."

Xiao Heng arrived at the wonton stall, took off his fox fur coat, folded it and placed it on Jiang Li's seat.

"The stool is cold, this will be better."

When it comes to Jiang Li, Xiao Heng always takes everything into consideration for her.

The hot wontons were quickly brought up by the waiter.

"Try how it tastes."

Xiao Heng handed the spoon to Jiang Li and looked at her expectantly.

Under his gaze, Jiang Li scooped up the hot wontons, blew on them, put them in her mouth and took a bite. The tempting oil and juice instantly exploded in her mouth, enjoying her taste buds.

“Mmm! Delicious!”

Jiang Li gave Xiao Heng a thumbs up in surprise. Xiao Heng smiled with satisfaction and also lowered his head to taste one.

The streets were bustling with people, and the sounds of hawking and bargaining mixed together, creating a warm and enthusiastic atmosphere that dispelled the winter chill.

After filling their stomachs, the two came to the street. After finally getting out, Jiang Li planned to buy some gifts for Su Luoluo, Zhou Yao and the others.

While Jiang Li was choosing a gift, Xiao Heng stopped in front of a stall selling hairpins and picked one for Jiang Li.

"Ah Heng, this way!"

After hearing her call, Xiao Heng quickly stuffed the hairpin into his arms and responded, "Here I come."

The days are short and the nights are long in winter. By the time they had bought their gifts and walked around the town, the sun had begun to set.

It takes more than half an hour to get from the town to the academy. In order to get back to the academy before dark, the two of them set off immediately.

With the experience from the past, Xiao Heng naturally held Jiang Li in his arms.

When we were halfway there, the sky suddenly turned bad and it started to drizzle. The sharp rain hit our faces and it hurt.

"Why is it raining suddenly?"

Xiao Heng wrapped Jiang Li in his fox fur coat, wrapping her entire upper body and head tightly, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.

"Ah Heng, there seems to be a cave ahead, let's go over there to take shelter from the rain."

Jiang Li said that she knew the answer to this question. In novels, the hero and heroine often hide in caves on rainy days. A single man and a single woman living together in a cave in darkness was the most likely place for unspeakable things to happen.

Xiao Heng rode to the cave and isolated Dong Yu outside the cave.

Perhaps someone was staying in the cave, as there was some unburned firewood on the ground.

Xiao Heng, who had been stranded outside by heavy rain and unable to return home before, was used to carrying a fire starter with him, which came in handy now.

The moment the firewood on the ground was lit, the dark cave instantly became bright.

The two of them gathered around the fire, and the hot air blowing towards them dispelled the coldness from their bodies.

They originally planned to take shelter in the cave and then rush back to the academy after the rain stopped. However, even though their clothes were dried by the sun, the rain outside did not stop. Instead, it got heavier and heavier. At this time, the sky became completely dark.

Xiao Heng pursed his lips and said, "It seems that Ali will have to spend the night here. It's my fault. If I had known it would rain today, I would not have brought Ali out."

"It doesn't matter. Who can predict what God is thinking in advance? Besides, I'm not a delicate young lady. I can make do anywhere."

Jiang Li said a few words of comfort, not caring at all.

Xiao Heng stood up and found a clean place. He moved the grass next to him over and spread his fox fur on it. After doing all this, he turned his head to look at Jiang Li in front of the fire.

"Ali, rest here tonight."

Jiang Li stood up in front of the meadow and joked, "Not only is there a place to sleep, but there's also a fire to warm me up. Thanks to Ah Heng, I can finally experience something I've never had the chance to experience."

She lay down on the fox fur-covered grass, raised her hand and yawned.

Xiao Heng sat beside her and wrapped the fox fur around her, covering her completely tightly.

"Good night, Heng."

Jiang Li looked at Xiao Heng with a smile, her eyes looking especially bright in the firelight.

Xiao Heng pulled the corner of his mouth and looked down at her: "Good night."

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Li closed her eyes, and Xiao Heng lay down beside her.

The sound of raindrops hitting the ground came from outside the cave, echoing in the ears of the two.

Xiao Heng put his hands behind his head, listening to her soft breathing and smelling the unique fragrance on her body, and he had no desire to sleep at all.

Boom!

Lightning streaked across the sky, followed by muffled thunder, the sound was so loud that it seemed to pierce a person's eardrums!

Jiang Li rolled over and crawled into Xiao Heng's arms, holding onto his shirt collar tightly with both hands...

The third update is here! I have been writing a new book for the past few days, and the old book has been discontinued again TAT. I dare not promise you anymore. I can only write more when I have time. It will definitely be finished in the middle of the month! Thank you for your support and tolerance. I am not the king of discontinuing updates. I have been updating steadily in the early stage, but I didn’t have time to write later because of something at home.
