After dinner, it was getting dark, so Zhou Xiaomeng said goodbye and left.

The courtyard, which was full of laughter and laughter just now, suddenly became silent again.

Yun Xi stared blankly at the spot where Zhou Xiaomeng was sitting just now. His heart was slightly sore and his heartbeat was a bit wrong. He covered it with his hands to calm himself down as soon as possible.

He thought he had covered it up well, but he still couldn't escape Qing Ning's wise eyes.

While asking if the food was ready, he stood up and put away the dishes and chopsticks, making jokes in both directions.

"Why, this guy just left, and now he's thinking about it?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Yunxi glared at him angrily, but after Qingning turned around and entered the kitchen, she became dazed again.

A gust of wind blew in the yard, blowing away the only trace. It was as if everything had never happened.

Yunxi suddenly felt that something was not real.

But he didn't want to ask Qingning to avoid being ridiculed, so he closed his eyes and tried to recall all the details of what had just happened.

But he was pulled back by a burst of sarcastic laughter.

"You said you didn't think about it. Look at your appearance. Do you want me to find a mirror and take a look at yourself?"

Qingning joked and sat back down, looking at Yun Xi across from him who was trying to hide his excuse but couldn't find the right words to say.

"Yunxi, you shouldn't let her go..."

Yun Xi was startled, her hand holding the handkerchief tightened, and she sighed softly, "I don't want to, but I can't expect too much. She promised to come and sit down when she has time, eat the food I cooked, and talk together.

, I am already very satisfied.”

Even though he said that, the longing and loss in his eyes could not be concealed.

Qingning saw this and couldn't help but persuade her, "Yunxi, don't think about the past. Besides, you were also a victim in that incident. Or, you can try to explain to her that she knows you are not

You are just as dirty as the other waiters in Zuihonglou, maybe you..."

"Qingning, stop talking."

Yun Xi suddenly changed his face and interrupted Qing Ning. As if he realized that his tone was a bit too much, he quickly lowered his head.

"Yunxi, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bring up your sadness to make you sad. I just wanted you to let go of the past and move forward. You know, I want you to be happy."

"I know, I know you are doing it for my own good, but I don't deserve it. I'm already dirty, Qingning, I'm already dirty. Whether it's my will or not, I'm already dirty. I've also contracted such a disease. I

How to match?

She is so kind, and she is so kind to people like me, and she is destined to be no ordinary person, and will definitely reach a higher level in the future. How can I let her be dusted, how can I let her be ridiculed because of me.

But Qingning, I really want to see her all the time. I would be satisfied just sitting and having a meal. But I know this is it. I just hope. Qingning, what should I do? I found

I can't control myself, I know I shouldn't be entangled, but I just can't control it."

In the end, Yunxi finally broke through the defense.

Cover your face with a veil to hide the tears of sadness, unwillingness, and grievance.

Qing Ning looked at him like this and wanted to persuade Yun Xi several times, but he never said it out loud. Instead, he secretly made up his mind that he would help Yun Xi no matter what.

…

When Zhou Xiaomeng returned to Xiaohe Village, it was already dark.

She thought that the husbands at home would go to bed early and might wake them up, so she deliberately put her hands and feet lightly.

But he was shocked.

"Master, sir, is it you? Are you awake?"

"Master, why did you come back? Could it be that what happened in the morning made you angry?"

Gu Tingzhi had been worried all day long. Even after dark, she still hadn't come back. He was even more worried to death. Regardless of the persuasion of other brothers, he insisted on standing here waiting for her to come back.

"No, I'm just too busy, and isn't it raining today? I'm hiding from the rain again, and I haven't finished my work, so it's been delayed until now?" Zhou Xiaomeng felt guilty and didn't say anything about Yunxi.

I felt weird, like a heartless man who was having an affair outside and was afraid of being caught, so he racked his brains to defend himself.

Seeing that the doctor was still looking awkward and aggrieved, he frowned helplessly.

"Oh, sir, your master, I am not that narrow-minded. I admit that I felt a little uncomfortable that morning. Although I did make a lot of mistakes in the past, I have been trying hard to change and make amends, but I am still misunderstood by you.

, then I will definitely feel uncomfortable.

But I swear, my late return is definitely not out of anger."

Seeing that she had steadfastly vowed to do so, he felt relieved, but he felt uncomfortable thinking about how hard she was working outside to support her family.

He asked her if she was tired and if she was hungry. Thinking that she didn't bring a rain cover, he also checked to see if she was wet.

Fortunately, it didn't happen, and I still did it.

"Okay, I'm not hungry, I've eaten outside, I'm not tired, and I'm not wet in the rain."

Zhou Xiaomeng said that she was indeed a little tired and not hungry, but her mouth was a little dry.

"Sir, I'm going back to the house to rest first. Could you please bring me a cup of hot water?"

"Um."

Gu Tingzhi agreed and went to the kitchen. The fire in the kitchen stove was not extinguished, and hot water and hot rice were always prepared.

I poured a large glass of water, and remembered that she said she was tired, so I thought of bringing some hot water to soak her feet. I was too busy, so I called my fourth husband, Gu Bingzhi, over.

The others all fell asleep, and the fourth husband was woken up by a shout, yawning profusely.

I couldn't see clearly when I was walking, and I almost fell down several times. He held me by the ear and grabbed me all the way, so I didn't make a joke.

When he arrived outside her house, he first put down the water for drinking, and then took the footbath from Gu Bingzhi's hand and went inside.

As for Gu Bingzhi, he sent him back to sleep.

She thought she would have to sort out the plan again to see if there was anything missing and then add it.

I found a kerosene lamp at home and lit it.

Warm light suddenly filled the whole room.

She had just dipped the ink in it when she heard footsteps, so she had to put down the brush again, turned around, took the water and drank it.

He had already brought the foot washing water to his feet, raised his head and was about to ask her to take off her shoes and socks, when he was surprised by the brand new clothes on her body.

It's worth a lot of money at first glance, and it's not comparable to his.

In an instant, many thoughts came to his mind.

Where did this dress come from?

Bought?

It's ready-to-wear.

But she has spent almost all the money she has on her, so it probably won't be enough for this dress.

Did some little vixen give it to me?

You came back so late and still said you weren't hungry. Could it be that you ate at the little vixen's place?

Thousands of thoughts passed through my heart, and thousands of words rushed out of my throat.

But he didn't dare to say it rashly.
