The girl was really soft,
It was as if she would be crushed by him if he used any strength.
Moreover..,
The little girl in his arms did not have that kind of smoky rouge fragrance,
Instead, it was a faint fragrance,
It was also filled with a warm sweetness,
It made him feel warm in his heart, like the early morning time that was not so hot, shining on by a small sun.
He took a deep breath,
Chen Jue composed himself.
His large hand pressed on Li Xiao's forehead and pulled her shoulder,
He pushed her a step away.
"When you feel at ease,
We'll talk about it later. "Chen Jue sighed helplessly.
This child seemed to have been challenging his bottom line.
Yet, he always gave in.
"Only this once,
There won't be a next time!
Don't lie in the future, okay?
You'd rather refuse to answer the question,
And don't lie! "Chen Jue's voice became fierce again,
He felt that he had regained some of his persistence and initiative.
He felt comfortable,
He cleared his throat and stood up straighter.
Li Xiao composed himself and looked up at him after putting some distance between them.
Under the dark night and moonlight,
The outline of Lord Chen in front of him was tall and strong.
In the past, he was always dressed in brocade clothes,
It made people think that he was just a slightly taller civil official man.
But at this moment, he couldn't see the elegant texture of his clothes clearly,
Instead, it emphasized his broad shoulders, long legs, and thick chest..
Li Xiao raised her head,
She suddenly felt a sense of oppression, and her face suddenly turned red.
"Got it,
Lord. "Li Xiao lowered her head,
She nodded.
She raised her head again,
But in her heart, she was thinking, if she didn't tell Lord Chen about brother and father, would he really not hold a grudge?
She felt that His Excellency seemed to be a person who held grudges and was very angry.
She was nervous.
Chen Jue did not let Li Xiao be nervous for too long. He had already grabbed the little girl's collar and walked out with her.
As he carried her out, he said unhappily, "In the future, no matter what the reason is, you are not allowed to go to any man's courtyard at night, do you hear me?"
He emphasized his voice and reprimanded her sternly.
Li Xiao's face was red, and her ears were hot enough to fry an egg. She hurriedly nodded.
Fortunately, the sky was dark. Otherwise, she would have died of embarrassment.
Chen Jue carried her into the courtyard. Looking around, he frowned. He gave a humph and pushed her shoulder, sending her out.
Before Xiao Xiao had time to be afraid of the dark, Chen Jue had already sent the little girl, who was so shy that she didn't raise her head, to her small garden.
Chen Jue walked her all the way to the door and pushed her in. Only then did he close the door with a 'bang' and stagger away.
He was more or less sober now.
After leaving Xiao Su Garden, he raised his head and took a deep breath. Although there were still some inexplicable feelings in his heart, but … he still felt a sense of relief.
He should be able to sleep well.
With these thoughts in mind, he strode back to his main courtyard sleepily.
Li Xiao leaned against the door of her room, trying to calm the blush on her face and the embarrassment in her heart.
After a long while, she walked to the bedside and sat down.
But just as her butt touched the edge of the bed, she suddenly stood up —
Oh, when she touched Lord Chen's hand just now, she saw a fragment of Lord Chen's future.
She completely forgot to tell him …
It was night.
The moonlight illuminated two hearts, making them even more confused and restless.
When the entire House of Chen quieted down, except for the guards on patrol, everyone seemed to be gradually falling asleep …
In Li Xiao's small garden, a large tree with luxuriant branches and leaves covered a wall very well under the night sky.
Li Yu sat on the wall and finally moved his gaze away from Li Xiao's room.
He leaned against a thick branch that stretched to the top of the wall and raised his head to admire the bright moon. The expression on his face was hazy and indiscernible in the shadows of the leaves.
… …
The distant sound of bangs echoed in the streets of the capital. In the peaceful, sleeping city.
But there were people who had unlimited energy and enjoyed continuous, addictive orgasms …
Until the person in his arms turned from a plump, tender, enchanting, and fragrant woman to a withered and lifeless woman.
And the weaker the person in his arms was, the more energetic he was.
It was as if he was relying on the energy of others to make himself stronger and have endless vitality.
Then, he indulged in the pleasure, like taking drugs, addicted.
This was an endless sea of pleasure, floating, dizzy, and screaming in the endless pleasure. Only when there was no vitality around would he regret that he couldn't continue and then fall asleep contentedly …
… … …
Early morning was the beginning of a day of noise.
But for the House of Chen, the noise began too early.
Li Yu had just practiced for a while in the courtyard early in the morning when he saw Li Xiao standing at the door of the courtyard, poking her head inside.
He couldn't help but laugh, took a cloth towel to wipe his face, and waved at his sister.
Li Xiao immediately beamed with joy and ran towards Li Yu.
She really looked like a child, innocent and naive.
She didn't look like a girl who was about to reach marriageable age.
"Why are you up so early?" Li Yu walked to the table and pulled the little girl to sit down at the table.
"Brother is here. I'm so excited that I can't sleep." Li Xiao chuckled. Her big eyes were curved, bright, and exceptionally beautiful.
Their family's bloodline was really good.
Li Yu thought and couldn't help but reach out to pinch his sister's face.
When Chen Jue walked in, he saw this scene.
His face was stiff.
Li Yu was the first to see Chen Jue. He hurriedly stood up and said, "Lord Chen."
Li Xiao heard her brother's words and turned her head. She stood up with a plop and beamed with joy. "Lord!"
She called out crisply.
Chen Jue swallowed the cold snort in his heart and nodded calmly.
Li Yu smiled as if he understood.
"Let's have breakfast here. It'll be lively if everyone eats together," Chen Jue said.
Since when did Lord Chen like to be lively?
Li Xiao thought to herself.
Of course, she wouldn't be stupid enough to ask. Instead, she pulled out a small stool beside her and said with a smile, "Lord, have a seat."
Then, she diligently poured a cup of warm water for Lord Chen and her brother. Then, she walked out of the courtyard and said as she walked, "I'm going to see what the Cookmaid has made today."
As soon as she finished speaking, she ran away.
The two men looked at each other, and the atmosphere was very awkward.
Li Yu was the first to speak. When he was with Chen Jue, he was more like the older, kinder, and more mature one who knew how to deal with people.
Lord Chen was used to being a loner anyway. No matter how awkward the atmosphere was, he could still put on a cold face and act as if nothing had happened.
"It seems that yesterday, she was still a little meatball. Now, she has grown into a big girl." Li Yu looked in the direction Li Xiao left and sighed.
"…" Chen Jue frowned. He realized that he couldn't participate in Li Yu's words.
He turned his face and glanced at Li Yu from the corner of his eyes. He wondered if this kid was deliberately showing off to him.
"She's like a monkey." Chen Jue snorted.
She didn't look like a big girl at all. When she was happy, she smiled excitedly as if she had the whole world. When she was unhappy, she pouted and pretended to be pitiful.
Which big girl would show her emotions on her face like this?
She was clearly a little monkey!
Li Yu smiled and didn't get angry. It was as if nothing in this world could make him angry.
Chen Jue wondered if he was really so good-tempered.
"Xiao Xiao has been obedient since she was young. She rarely has conflicts with others. She likes to be humble and warm-hearted. She loves to help others."
As Li Yu spoke, he suddenly sighed. His tone became much gentler. His face, which was similar to Li Xiao's, revealed an expression called 'heartache'.
"It's a pity that I was too weak in the past. I let her suffer so much." Li Yu pursed his lips. The gloominess on his face became more obvious.
"It won't happen in the future." Chen Jue had always been concise and comprehensive.
However, Li Yu seemed to understand Chen Jue's words. He nodded. "Yes, I won't let her suffer like that in the future."
As Li Yu spoke, his brows furrowed slightly. A trace of fierceness flashed across his face.
Chen Jue looked up at Li Yu. He still looked like a leisurely and elegant gentleman.
Was it an illusion just now?
…
Li Xiao helped the servant girl carry a small food box and ran back.
She was especially happy today.
Brother had found her. Lord Chen was no longer angry with her.
The world suddenly became beautiful. The sky was clear and everything was perfect.
When she rushed back, her brother and Lord Chen were having an intense discussion about 'Confucius's disciples'.
Chen Jue placed a small teacup on the table. "The Analects of Confucius mentions the death of Zeng Sheng. What does this mean?
It means that this book was mostly compiled by Zeng Sheng's disciples.
There are even many contents in the Analects of Confucius that were probably comprehended by Zeng Sheng himself and announced by his master, Confucius. "
"Although Liu Qing also has this opinion, I think that it's too biased and presumptuous to think that it's a work of the same lineage." Li Yu disagreed.
Li Xiao and the servant girl placed the food box on the table and arranged the dishes in a row.
She sat on a small stool and pinched her chopsticks as she watched the two men arguing endlessly. She was a little conflicted.
She sometimes looked at the dishes on the table, and sometimes looked at her brother and Lord Chen. She licked her lips, but didn't dare to move her chopsticks first.
After a while, they were still discussing endlessly. Li Xiao finally couldn't hold it in anymore. She reached out and poked her brother's arm. She said weakly, "The food is getting cold."
Only then did Li Yu come back to his senses. He looked at Li Xiao and then at the food on the table. He suddenly smiled and shook his head. "Lord, let's fill our stomachs first."
"…" Chen Jue was in the middle of a conversation.
He felt that although Li Yu had accumulated a lot of knowledge, he was not stale. When it came to knowledge, he would recite the old dogma.
From Li Yu's words, he could hear wisdom and the ability to think independently, as well as many brilliant insights hidden in his subtle words.
Chen Jue opened his mouth, but didn't continue the topic.
As the host, he took the lead and picked up a small piece of pickled vegetable.
Li Xiao immediately ate happily.
The sweet cakes this morning were especially delicious. The walnut crisps were fragrant and crispy. The porridge was especially sweet and delicious …
Life was really blissful.
"Brother." Li Xiao ate happily. She naughtily picked up a small piece of sweet cake and gave it to Li Yu.
This was a game that belonged to the siblings — —
Li Yu didn't like to eat sweets, but as long as Li Xiao picked it up, he would always eat it with a bitter face.
Li Xiao would giggle happily and happily.
Li Yu looked at the sweet cake in the bowl in front of him. Many emotions surged in his heart.
The beautiful life that belonged to the past rushed back to his mind. It was fresh and rich.
However, the sister in those memories was still there, but the mother …
He pursed his lips and smiled bitterly at Li Xiao. Under the gaze of Li Xiao's big watery eyes, he ate the sweet cake.
As expected, Li Xiao giggled, just like in his memory.
"Eat more meat. You're still growing." Li Yu picked up a piece of meat and put it into Li Xiao's bowl. His voice was soft and refreshing, making people happy to hear it.
"Okay." Li Xiao nodded and ate the meat obediently.
"…" Chen Jue was speechless.
It felt like the small courtyard was divided into two. Half belonged to Li Yu and Li Xiao, and the other half belonged to him.
He was isolated, he couldn't participate.
After a meal, Chen Jue looked at Li Xiao, who was like a little pug, doting on Li Yu. He was very unhappy.
He was very unpleasant to the eye!
In the past, when he had just 'picked up' the little girl, she only had him, Lord Chen.
She followed him around and served him tea and water.
She had to look at his eyes when she walked and figure out his preferences.
That kind of dependence made him feel a little fresh. He wasn't very used to it, but it was also a little … Yes, a wonderful enjoyment.
However, when Li Yu appeared …
Chen Jue was like a child's father who was jealous of his child's mother. He was unhappy when he saw —
Li Yu coughed lightly. Li Xiao immediately stood up and stretched out her long arm to take the kettle. She poured a cup of warm water and handed it to Li Yu.
…
Her appearance had completely changed.
At this moment, she had probably forgotten that he, Chen Jue, was still sitting here.
What an ungrateful little monkey.
Just as he was thinking, someone suddenly walked into the courtyard.
Chen Jue looked up at Zhao Hu and frowned slightly.
If they didn't dare to delay something important, they wouldn't rashly disturb him when he was still at home.
Especially during breakfast time.
He had never been a good-tempered person. It was risky to disturb him when he was eating, sleeping, and resting.
Zhao Hu met Chen Jue's gaze and hurried to Chen Jue. He glanced at Li Xiao and Li Yu, then leaned over and whispered a few words in Chen Jue's ear.
Chen Jue's face darkened and he placed the chopsticks in his hand on the table.
After Zhao Hu finished speaking, he straightened his body. Chen Jue also pressed against the stone table and stood up.
"You can stay as you wish. I've told the butler that as long as you're at home, you'll be served with good wine and good food," Chen Jue said to Li Yu and turned to leave.
"Thank you, Sir."
Li Yu's voice was neither servile nor overbearing. He was neither overly grateful nor agitated because of Chen Jue's thoughtfulness, nor did he lose his proper manners.
On the contrary, Chen Jue liked his calmness and calmness. It made him feel comfortable.
After taking two steps, Chen Jue stopped in his tracks. He realized that Li Xiao hadn't followed him?!
He turned around and glared at Li Xiao.
The little girl was still eating porridge. As she ate, she stared at him with her round eyes.
What was she looking at?
"Come here!" Chen Jue said.
Li Xiao instinctively turned to look at her brother.
Li Yu said calmly, "Go ahead."
The little girl immediately put down the bowl of porridge and ran over to Chen Jue.
As she ran, she adjusted her hat. When she reached Chen Jue, she tugged at her clothes and stood upright.
Chen Jue glared at Li Yu before turning around and walking out of the courtyard in large strides.
Thinking of how Li Yu had said "go ahead" just now, Chen Jue's chest felt a little stuffy.
The way he naturally had the right to order and discipline Li Xiao around was particularly uncomfortable.
He lowered his head and looked at Li Xiao, who had to jog to keep up with him. Chen Jue reached out and flicked the top of her head.
There was a "bang". He didn't hold back at all when he flicked his finger.
"Ouch."
Li Xiao was caught off guard. She covered her head in pain and stood still. She looked up in confusion. Lord Chen had already left as if nothing had happened. He didn't stop at all.
"…" Why?
Li Xiao frowned, but he still rubbed his forehead and hurriedly ran to catch up with her.
After catching up, she rubbed her head from time to time and peeked at Lord Chen's expression.
He was expressionless, as if he wasn't the one who flicked her head just now.
He didn't seem unhappy.
