"Cousin, why are you acting so weird?" Qu Li frowned, his eyes full of concern.
"It's okay." Chang Sun Chi came back to his senses and tried to touch Goudan's head, but Goudan avoided him arrogantly.
Qu Li squatted down, took out a piece of jerky and fed it to the dog.
"This time, you will accompany my eldest cousin to the place of exile to bring my nephew back! My eldest cousin is a martial artist with a straightforward personality, so he might not be so careful."
Chang Sun Chi:? ?
Why wasn't he so careful?
He heard strange noises in Qu Li's room last night, and as soon as she went out today, he noticed that her lips were even more red and swollen than before.
"So, you have to be more patient and protect him well!"
Goudan responded to her with a "woof".
Qu Li took out another piece of jerky, "Be good!"
“Ouch!”
She handed a bag of dried meat to Chang Sun Chi and said, "Brother, please take good care of Goudan as well."
Chang Sun Chi nodded heavily: "Don't worry, cousin! I'm here and I will never let Goudan get hurt."
He looked at Goudan, who looked so majestic and had not a single stray hair on his body, and really didn't understand why Qu Li would give a snow wolf such a name.
Maybe it’s easy to feed?!
Goudan stared at him with his piercing wolf eyes, his eyes full of mockery and disdain.
It doesn't think that this silly person will take good care of it. It may even have to take care of him along the way!
When the two men and the wolf went to the dining room together, everyone's expressions were very shocked.
"Wolf!"
Changsun Lingyue's face was pale and she hid behind Changsun Wu.
Qu Li frowned, looking at Changsun Lingyue with a somewhat gloomy look.
Chang Sun Wu comforted her: "Don't be afraid!"
"Lingyue, this is the Goudan I was talking about. This time, he accompanied my eldest cousin to the exile area to bring Lingsi back."
After hearing Qu Li's words, Changsun Lingyue's fear subsided a little.
"It won't hurt anyone?"
"Well, it's okay! Feel it." The coldness on Qu Li's face disappeared instantly.
Changsun Lingyue pursed her lips timidly and did not move.
And those cousins have been eager to try it out for a long time.
After one of the cousins touched Goudan, he found that Goudan did not hurt him except that his eyes were still full of disdain and he was particularly arrogant. So he became much bolder.
They came forward one after another and touched Goudan.
Goudan was very upset, but because Qu Li was right next to him, he managed to restrain himself.
Changsun Lingyue stepped forward, touched its ears, and looked into its wolf eyes. Her breathing became tight, and she took a half step back, accidentally twisting her foot.
Qu Li was not particularly satisfied with Changsun Lingyue's reaction.
"Lingyue, are you okay?"
The expressions of several cousins changed instantly. Some helped her move stools, some tried to hug her, and some asked Qu Li to help take a look.
"Cousin, I'm sorry to trouble you along the way!" Qu Li glanced at Changsun Lingyue who had a painful face, and said to Changsun Chi.
"Don't worry, cousin!"
Changsun Lingyue has always been sharp-minded, and she could feel that Qu Li was a little cold towards her.
"Cousin, I'm a little scared! This is the first time I've seen a snow wolf."
"Let me check your feet." Qu Li squatted down, pressed her ankles with her slender hands, and asked Changsun Lingyue from time to time if it hurt.
Zhang Sun Lingyue's eyes were filled with tears, and she looked aggrieved. That look...
Qu Li couldn’t say for sure, but she always felt that the person in front of her was not as likable as before.
With a "click" sound and accompanied by Changsun Lingyue's scream, Qu Li helped her adjust her bones and then took out a box of ointment.
"This ointment has the effect of relieving pain and swelling. You should be able to walk normally tomorrow."
Changsun Lingyue bit her lip and nodded. Although she was thanking him, there was no sincerity in her eyes.
Qu Li washed his hands, took the handkerchief handed to him by the maid, and while wiping his hands, he secretly looked at Changsun Lingyue.
The face was still the same, but the eyes looked a little unfamiliar.
"Where is the jade pendant I gave you when you took me back to my room last night?" Qu Li suddenly asked.
Chang Sun Lingyue's eyes were red, and her voice was muffled: "Cousin, you didn't give me anything yesterday."
Qu Li's eyes darkened several degrees.
She really didn't give anything to Changsun Lingyue.
The reason she asked this was because she was worried that Bai Fengyao would impersonate her again.
"Does it still hurt?" she asked in a calm tone.
Changsun Lingyue raised her eyes slightly, looked at her quickly, and shook her head.
"It's nothing. After all, you're a daughter raised in the boudoir. It's no surprise you're afraid of a snow wolf you've never seen before! Most importantly, it's my pet. They say a pet resembles whoever owns it!"
The first time she saw Changsun Lingyue playing the Firework Fairy on the podium, she was so cool and beautiful. She thought that being born in such a family, Changsun Lingyue must be a person who is particularly cold and noble in nature.
Such people can remain calm no matter what situation they face.
But she didn't expect that just a snow wolf would make Changsun Lingyue so timid.
Faced with the timid Changsun Lingyue, Qu Li no longer had the idea of sitting down and having breakfast together.
"Uncle, cousins, I'm going back first!"
Upon hearing this, Changsun Li and Changsun Wu put down their chopsticks at the same time and wanted to send her back.
"I'm fine, second cousin, please comfort Lingyue! Goudan is actually not that scary." After saying that, she left without even looking at Changsun Lingyue.
Zhang Sun Lingyue's eyes were misty, and she stammered, "Is my cousin mad at me? This is my first time seeing a snow wolf, too. I'm a little scared!"
Several cousins came to comfort her.
"I'm fine, don't worry, brothers."
"Lingyue, you were very brave when you were little. Your third uncle once took you hunting. Even when you encountered a pack of wolves, you didn't show any fear!" Changsun Wu looked at Changsun Lingyue, whose eyes were red and who was obviously still in fear, with a critical look.
"Uncle San, they say a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger! That snow wolf is different from ordinary wolves. Even if it's motionless, the aura it exudes is still frightening."
There was nothing wrong with what he said, but Changsun Wu just felt that something was not right with Changsun Lingyue.
"After all, it's Li'er's pet. No matter how majestic it is, it will never harm its own family!" Chang Sun Wu persuaded him, "I have something else to do. I need to go out for a while."
"Third brother, do you want me to accompany you?"
"Need not."
Chang Sun Wu went to the stable and got a horse out, hoping to catch up with Qu Li.
Feng Yi thought it would take Qu Li a long time to finish breakfast. When he learned that she was leaving just like that, he hurriedly followed her and prepared to take her to have breakfast.
"Cousin." Chang Sun Wu galloped on his horse and caught up with Qu Li.
When he saw Feng Yi, there was a hint of vigilance in his eyes.
"Who is this?"
"This is the person who helped me take care of Goudan during this period!" Qu Li opened his mouth and lied.
Feng Yi coughed twice, his eyes filled with resentment.
Qu Li glared at him and gave him a soothing look, "Third cousin, you caught up with me, is there something wrong?"
