Qu Li found the jealous Feng Yi particularly cute, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch his chin.
“So cute!”
Feng Yi frowned tightly.
Is he cute?
The smile on Qu Li's lips widened: "From now on, I will only care about you, okay?"
A smile finally appeared on Feng Yi's tense face.
"You take a nap, I'll watch here." Feng Yi said.
"No, I can't sleep anyway."
"Then I'll stay with you."
The candlelight flickered, and the two snuggled up to each other, watching the rain outside the window.
"By the way, let me show you a cute little thing." Qu Li took out a wide-mouthed bottle from the space.
The little red bug has eaten up all the poison, and now its belly is so round that it looks super cute.
Feng Yi: “…”
"What's that expression on your face?"
"Nothing." Feng Yi touched his nose, trying to hide the helplessness in his heart.
With just one glance, Qu Li guessed what he was thinking.
Not long ago, she praised Feng Yi for being cute, and this time, she praised the insect in her hand for being cute.
According to that formula, Feng Yi is cute, bugs are cute, so Feng Yi is equal to bugs!
Thinking of this, her eyes were filled with smiles.
Feng Yi pinched her nose and said, "I'll give you a chance. Praise me again."
Qu Li smiled, moved closer to him, and quickly touched his lips with a dragonfly's touch. "It's an apology."
He raised the end of his eyebrow, "I reluctantly forgive you!"
She smiled broadly and pointed at the little bug in the bottle: "This isn't really a quirk of mine. This bug is different from the others."
Qu Li simply recounted the story of the fire that burned the Black Water Forest that day, but omitted the fact that she had put all the poisonous insects into the space.
"Are you saying that this insect is the Gu worm raised by the high priest?"
"Yes! At first I thought poisonous insects must be disgusting, but this insect has given me a new understanding."
"for example?"
Feng Yi frowned and stared at the sleeping insect with sharp eyes, trying to find out what was so special about it.
As if sensing danger, the little bug moved, lay on the glass wall, and stared at Feng Yi warily.
This scene of them staring at each other made Qu Li laugh again.
She reached out and pushed Feng Yi's face away, warning him seriously, "Don't scare it."
Feng Yi: “…”
It was the first time he heard that low-level insects could have human emotions and desires.
Qu Li put the wide-mouthed bottle away again.
"There are so many bugs, and it's night time. You can get such a unique bug. This must be luck."
Qu Li felt a little guilty and pulled the corners of his mouth stiffly.
"What have you been busy with lately?"
Feng Yi frowned and moved her gaze to Changsun Wuji's face. Instead of answering, she asked, "Can he return to his previous state?"
Qu Li frowned.
She always felt that Feng Yi seemed to be avoiding her deliberately.
After staring at him for a full half minute, she said, "I've found the bleeding point, and I've sealed it with a silver needle. After that, I'll slowly recuperate and strengthen my rehabilitation, and you'll be able to walk freely. However, if the bleeding reoccurs, it will be very troublesome."
"With Changsun Lingyue, the instigator of this crime, here, do you think he can rest properly?"
"You mean, should we just send Uncle to the yard in the suburbs?"
"You can discuss it with your two cousins."
Qu Li nodded solemnly.
Time passed minute by minute, the rain finally stopped, and the sky in the east began to turn pale.
Feng Yi kissed her forehead: "Don't work too hard, I'm going back first!"
Qu Li nodded, "Take care of yourself too."
She didn't ask him what he was busy with during this period.
If he wanted to tell her, he would tell her without hesitation.
On the contrary, he needs to lie to her, and she will be sad when she hears it.
So let it be.
Changsun Li and Changsun Wu came over first, and the maid behind them was holding a sumptuous breakfast.
"Cousin, you've been up all night, eat something first." When Chang Sun Wu walked in, he smelled the lingering bamboo fragrance in the air and frowned slightly.
"Is Dad feeling better?" Changsun Li looked at Changsun Wuji lying on the bed worriedly.
"Uncle's condition has stabilized, so don't worry, second and third cousins."
Chang Sun Li lowered the corners of his lips, his eyes filled with guilt.
"If Dad doesn't get better, I'll never be able to forgive myself in this life."
"Second brother, don't think too much, no one blames you!"
"It's said that if a son is not well taught, it's the fault of his father. The reason why Dad became like this is because I didn't teach Lingyue well."
"Second cousin, don't be like this." Qu Li patted his shoulder gently. "I've said before that this is not your fault. You don't need to take all the responsibility on yourself."
Changsun Li wanted to say something, but Changsun Wu touched his arm.
The two brothers exchanged glances and said nothing more in tacit understanding.
After Qu Li finished breakfast, he examined Changsun Wuji again and confirmed that there was no problem at all. Only then did he feel relieved.
"Uncle has passed the critical period. What follows is good care and rehabilitation."
"I will do it myself!" Changsun Wudao.
Chang Sun Li pursed his lips and said nothing.
The one who made Changsun Wuji so angry was Changsun Lingyue. Logically, Changsun Lingyue should have personally taken care of him.
But now she looks like everyone owes her something, how can she possibly take care of Changsun Wuji wholeheartedly?
Now he has entered the court and become the prime minister. Every day he needs to be extremely vigilant when dealing with the high priest and the court officials who are loyal to the high priest.
"Cousin, take a rest first!" Chang Sun Wu glanced at Chang Sun Li, who had a serious expression, and urged.
Chang Sun Wu is brave and resourceful, so with him around, Qu Li naturally has nothing to worry about.
"Then I'll trouble you, Third Cousin."
"Why are you being so polite to me? Go and get some rest. If Dad wakes up, I'll call you."
"good."
Qu Li went to the next room and lay down with his clothes on.
Chang Sun Wu said very seriously, "Second brother, you're not the one who made Dad so angry. You don't need to blame yourself so much! Instead of blaming yourself, you should think about how to persuade Ling Yue."
"She's determined to participate in the competition. Do you think I can persuade her?"
"When I say persuade, I don't mean to ask you to persuade her not to participate in the competition."
Chang Sun Wu's eyes gradually grew colder.
During this period, Changsun Lingyue's performance was indeed very disappointing.
But she is the daughter of the Changsun family after all. She can hate them, but they have no reason to give up on her.
"What I asked you to do is to make her understand that even if we find her, she will never take away everything that belongs to her."
"What's the meaning?"
"My cousin has someone she likes. Once things here are resolved, she will most likely leave Xiling!"
