Li Yue didn't ask how the youth's mother was doing,
She knew about Bai Feifei's condition,
How could she not guess the other party's ending,
Deep in her heart..,
She let out a silent sigh.
Such a person who was treated gently by time..,
A woman who had never left a mark on her face was like a flower blooming in the wasteland,
It withered silently.
In Li Yue's opinion, Hoodlum didn't have any bad debts with her.
Since the day the two of them met, in addition to the jade pendant and information given by Bai Feifei, strictly speaking, it should be Li Yue who owed her something.
Although Li Yue had explained it to Hoodlum again and again, Hoodlum was not moved at all. He did not say a word,
He stubbornly guarded Li Yue's side.
The little girl originally wanted to analyze the facts with the youth, but the Bearded Man gently shook his head at the little girl. At that moment..,
She understood what Hoodlum was thinking.
After the youth lost his loved one, the intense grief made him feel at a loss and he didn't know where to go.
And his connection with Li Yue allowed him to find the person he loved in a short period of time,
Where he lived.
It wasn't to settle down,
It was just to feel at ease.
It was also from that day onwards..,
Hoodlum followed Li Yue like a shadow,
When Li Yue went to school, he waited outside the school gate. when Li Yue went to Long Dragon to do something, he waited in front of the stairs of the main hall. when Li Yue went home to rest, he waited on the eaves of the Li family's mansion.
For three days in a row, Hoodlum did not eat, drink, or sleep. His face was turning pale at a speed visible to the naked eye.
No matter how she tried to persuade Hoodlum, he would not listen. Li Yue had no choice but to find Li Xunhuan and ask the latter to hit the former's sleeping acupoint.
Tanhua Lang pointed down, and the youth's body swayed. He fell to the ground with his sword.
Before he landed, his body was already picked up by Tie Chuanjia and brought to the guest room. Li Yue picked up the youth's iron sword and followed behind.
This time, the old doctor who was invited to check Hoodlum's pulse was still the same one who had treated Bai Feifei. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Li Xunhuan. He frowned again when he saw Li Yue. When he saw Hoodlum, he slammed the medicine box on the wooden table. His face suddenly, he pulled to his hand to check to check to check Hoodlum's wrist.
"What's wrong with you guys? Is it fun to have a heart disease?
Forget about the older one. With his martial arts skills, he can survive for twenty or thirty years without a problem. But what's wrong with the younger one? He's so young, yet he's so thoughtful. Relying on his youth, he's courting death. Are you afraid that God will forget to punish you? "
The old doctor kept talking. Li Xunhuan did not notice Li Yue's expression. He only thought that the old doctor was reprimanding him and Hoodlum. His face was full of bitter smiles.
Li Yue did not know how to answer directly. She could only beat around the bush and change the topic.
"Doctor, Hoodlum must have not rested for more than three days. How is his body?"
The old doctor hated patients with a heart disease the most. Not only did they not want to live, but they also ruined his reputation as a doctor. Therefore, he was particularly rude when he answered.
"Little girl, don't worry. He won't die."
"Thank you for your hard work, doctor."
Uncle Fu led the old doctor to the next room to write a prescription. Li Yue carefully tucked Hoodlum in. Finally, she habitually touched Hoodlum's forehead. She felt that his temperature did not rise. She turned around and prepared to leave. When she looked up, she saw Li Xunhuan with a complicated expression.
Tanhua Lang looked like he wanted to say something but stopped. He looked like he did not know where to start. He and Li Yue looked at each other for a long time. Finally, he was defeated.
"Xiao Yue, that... Although it is said that a young person admires his parents, and a lecherous person admires his wife... but you... are... still too young. There are many things... that you don't understand, so -"
Li Xunhuan said it with great difficulty. But before he finished, Li Yue had already understood his meaning. The little girl crossed her arms and teased Li Xunhuan.
"Uncle Li, are you worried that I'll bring back a child bride?"
"Cough cough cough cough — Xiao Yue, you're a little girl. Don't talk like that... like that..."
Tanhua Lang pondered for a long time. He did not know which adjective to use. Li Yue put her hands on her hips and laughed.
"Oh my, Uncle Li, if you retire from Jianghu in the future, you can consider writing a novel when you have free time. After all, you have talent, writing skills, and experience. You also have a rich imagination that no one else has.
As for a child bride, Uncle Li, you don't have to worry too much. I'm a person with a lot of requirements. I won't casually bring back just anyone to be the wife of a gang leader. "
Although he knew that Li Yue was digging a hole, Li Xunhuan could not help but follow her wishes and continue to ask.
"Then... what are Xiao Yue's requirements?"
"It's very simple. They either have to be fair, beautiful, and gentle like water, or they have to be tall, slender, and have legs below their neck. Of course, these are not the decisive conditions.
To me, the most important thing is that the person has to be a real man. They have to be able to be in the hall and the kitchen. They have to be able to do laundry, cook, embroider, and sew soles. They have to be able to walk the dog, take care of the children, grow flowers, and tell jokes... "
The more Li Xunhuan listened to Li Yue's description, the more familiar it sounded. He had a feeling that the little girl had set her eyes on someone he was familiar with. She was just short of giving him a betrothal gift. While he was still pondering over who this person was, Li Yue had already revealed the answer without any suspense.
"Yes, that's right. It's best if it's someone like Uncle Tie!"
Tanhua Lang, whose heart was in turmoil and who ended up in the Mariana Trench, was speechless.
Tie Chuanjia, who pushed open the door and only heard the last sentence, was speechless.
"Do you think I'm joking, Uncle Li? I'm serious."
Li Yue walked to the burly man's side and held one of his large palms. When she felt the rough calluses on his palm, she raised her head.
"When I grow up, I want to marry someone like Uncle Tie!"
Tanhua Lang was speechless. He couldn't find the words to respond to Li Yue. He had a headache and held his forehead.
Tie Chuanjia, who was originally confused, smiled when he heard this. He bent down and combed the little girl's messy hair before straightening the little girl's collar.
"When Little Miss grows up, Uncle Tie will also be old. However, Uncle Tie will look after Little Miss.
In the future, the one who can match Little Miss will definitely be a handsome young man who will treat Little Miss well wholeheartedly. "
Li Yue pursed her lips. She originally wanted to ask what would happen if she fell in love with a girl. However, when she met Tie Chuanjia's eyes, which were full of vicissitudes of life, she didn't have the courage to continue talking nonsense and make Tie Chuanjia angry.
She still had to go to school tomorrow morning. There were also servants guarding the Hoodlum. Li Yue couldn't be of any use here. She obediently went to her room to review her homework.
The Hoodlum had slept for a day and a night and still hadn't woken up. Fortunately, his physical signs were basically normal and there weren't any sudden critical situations.
On the afternoon of the day before the day off, Li Yue finished her homework in school early. After returning home and greeting Tanhua Lang and the others, she wandered to her room in the Hoodlum.
The youth was still unconscious. However, it was unknown who he was dreaming of. His hands were clenched into fists and his thick eyebrows were tightly knitted. His pale lips were slightly opened, as if he was murmuring something.
Li Yue waved her hand and motioned for the servant to bring a basin of hot water. She sat by the bed and carefully observed the youth's exposed hands.
Perhaps it was because he had been making a living in the Wasteland for many years, but the youth's hands weren't as slender and soft as those of his peers. Instead, they had a rough texture similar to Tie Chuanjia's. It was proof that he had been ravaged by fate.
Li Yue tried to pry open the youth's fists. She used all her strength but couldn't make him loosen his grip at all. She had no choice but to give up.
After a while, the servant came in with hot water. Li Yue moved aside so that the servant could wipe away the sweat on the Hoodlum. After the servant finished the corresponding nursing work, she nodded to the servant and let him rest and eat first.
Waiting was a test of one's patience, especially when one was guarding a person who would wake up at any time.
Unfortunately, Li Yue's patience was far from the average level of this era. Before she came to the Hoodlum's room, she forgot to bring the newly bought storybook. It was not good to call the servant to not let him rest. She was bored and began to study the Hoodlum lying on the bed.
Li Yue first gently pressed the youth's hard arm. The other party didn't respond. She then stretched out her finger and poked the youth's eyebrows.
When she retracted her hand, Li Yue inadvertently touched the other party's eyelashes. The eyelashes were as thick as crow's feathers. They scratched her fingertips and itched.
She couldn't help but hover her entire hand above the youth's face. Through concealment and elimination, she imagined the appearance of the youth's parents. Just as her hand moved to the youth's eyes, another rough hand had already grabbed her wrist.
Ordinary people would be embarrassed if they were caught red-handed doing something stupid. Li Yue had been tested in two lifetimes. Naturally, ordinary people couldn't compare to her.
Facing the Hoodlum's gaze, she didn't feel the slightest bit guilty. She smiled and greeted the other party as if nothing had happened.
"You're awake, Hoodlum."
Now, the youth who said that he wanted to repay Li Yue's kindness was lifeless. The softness and warmth of the past had disappeared, not to mention the arrogance that should be present at his age.
His back was straight and his thin lips were pursed into a line. The pair of eyes that were comparable to obsidian in the past no longer had the slightest bit of light. Only a deep and silent darkness was left.
The youth reminded Li Yue of the granite buried under the snow outside the pass. It was cold, hard, and chilly. It was indifferent to everything in the world, including himself.
Li Yue didn't ask how the youth's mother was doing. She knew about Bai Feifei's condition, so how could she not guess the other's ending? In the depths of her heart, she let out a silent sigh.
A woman who had been treated gently by the years and had never left a mark on her face had in the end withered silently like a flower blooming in the wilderness.
In Li Yue's view, Hoodlum didn't have any bad debts with her.
Since the day the two met, in addition to the jade pendant and information that Bai Feifei had given, strictly speaking, Li Yue should have owed him something.
Although Li Yue had explained to Hoodlum again and again, Hoodlum was unmoved. He didn't say a word and stubbornly guarded Li Yue's side.
The little girl originally wanted to properly analyze the facts with the youth, but the Bearded Man gently shook his head at the little girl. In that instant, she understood what Hoodlum was thinking.
After the youth lost his family, the intense grief made him feel at a loss and didn't know where to go.
And the connection between him and Li Yue allowed him to find the person who had transferred his feelings to him in a short period of time.
It wasn't for a place to settle down, but for peace of mind.
It was also from that day onwards that Hoodlum followed Li Yue like a shadow. When Li Yue went to school, he would guard outside the school gate. When Li Yue went to the Long Dragon Palace to do business, he would wait in front of the stairs of the main hall. When Li Yue went home to rest, he would wait on the eaves of the Li family mansion.
For three days in a row, Hoodlum didn't eat, drink, or sleep. His face was turning pale at a speed visible to the naked eye.
No matter how she persuaded Hoodlum, he wouldn't listen. Li Yue had no choice but to find Li Xunhuan and have the latter hit the former's sleeping acupoint.
When Tanhua Lang hit him, the youth's body swayed and he fell to the ground with his sword.
Before he fell to the ground, his body was picked up by Tie Chuanjia and brought to the guest room. Li Yue picked up the youth's sword and followed behind.
The doctor who was invited to take Hoodlum's pulse was still the same old doctor who had treated Bai Feifei last time. As soon as he entered the room, he frowned when he saw Li Xunhuan. When he saw Li Yue, he frowned again. When he saw Hoodlum, he directly slammed the medicine box on the wooden table. His face suddenly became very long, but he didn't forget to place his fingers on Hoodlum's wrist.
"What's wrong with you guys? Is it fun to have a heart disease?

The old doctor talked non-stop. Li Xunhuan didn't notice Li Yue's expression. He only thought that the old doctor was reprimanding him and Hoodlum. His face was full of bitter smiles.
Li Yue didn't know how to answer directly. She could only beat around the bush and change the topic.
"Doctor, Hoodlum definitely hasn't rested for more than three days. How is his body?"
The old doctor hated patients with a heart disease the most. Not only did they not want to live, but they also ruined his reputation as a doctor. Therefore, he was particularly rude when he answered.
"Little girl, don't worry. He won't die."
"Thank you for your hard work, doctor."

"Xiao Yue, that... Although it's said that young people admire their parents, and those who are lustful admire their parents... but you... are... still too young. There are many things... that you don't understand, so -"
Li Xunhuan said those words with great difficulty. But before he finished, Li Yue already understood what he meant. The little girl crossed her arms and teased Li Xunhuan.
"Uncle Li, are you worried that I'll find a child bride?"
"Cough, cough, cough. Xiao Yue, you're a little girl. Don't be so... so..."
Tanhua Lang deliberated for a long time. He didn't know which adjective to use. Li Yue put her hands on her hips and laughed.
"Oh my, Uncle Li, if you retire from Jianghu in the future, you can consider writing a novel when you have nothing to do. After all, you have talent, writing skills, and experience. You also have a rich imagination that others don't have.

Even though he knew that Li Yue was digging a hole, Li Xunhuan couldn't help but follow her wishes and continue to ask.
"Then... what is Xiao Yue's requirement?"
"It's very simple. They either have to have fair skin, a beautiful face, and be as gentle as water. Or they have to be tall, slender, and have legs below their neck. Of course, these aren't the decisive conditions.
To me, the most important thing is that the person has to be a real man. They have to be able to perform in the hall and the kitchen. They have to be able to do laundry, cook, embroider, and sew soles. They have to be able to walk the dog, take care of the children, grow flowers, and tell jokes... "
The more Li Xunhuan listened to Li Yue's description, the more familiar it sounded. He had a feeling that the little girl had set her eyes on someone he was familiar with.

"Yes, that's right. It'd be best if it's someone like Uncle Tie!"
Tanhua Lang, whose heart was in turmoil, ended up in the Mariana Trench: "..."
Tie Chuanjia, who only heard the last sentence after pushing open the door: "...???"
"Do you think I'm joking, Uncle Li? I'm serious."
Li Yue walked to the burly man's side and held one of his large palms. When she felt the rough calluses on his palm, she raised her head.
"When I grow up, I want to marry someone like Uncle Tie!"
Tanhua Lang was speechless. He couldn't find the words to respond to Li Yue. He had a headache and held his forehead.
Tie Chuanjia, who was originally confused, smiled when he heard this. He bent down and combed the little girl's messy hair. Then, he smoothed the little girl's collar.
"When Little Miss grows up, Uncle Tie will also be old. However, Uncle Tie will help Little Miss keep a lookout.
In the future, the one who can match Little Miss will definitely be a handsome young man who will treat Little Miss well wholeheartedly. "
Li Yue pursed her lips. She originally wanted to ask what would happen if she fell in love with a girl. However, when she met Tie Chuanjia's eyes, which were full of vicissitudes of life, she didn't have the courage to continue talking nonsense and make Tie Chuanjia angry.

Li Yue tried to pry open the youth's fists. She used all her strength but couldn't make him loosen up at all. She could only choose to give up.
After a while, the servant came in with hot water. Li Yue moved aside so that the servant could wipe away the sweat on the Hoodlum. After the servant finished the corresponding nursing work, she nodded to the servant and let him rest and eat first.
Waiting was a test of one's patience, especially when one was guarding a person who would wake up at any time.

Facing the Hoodlum's gaze, she didn't feel guilty at all. She smiled and greeted the other party as if nothing had happened.
"You're awake, Hoodlum."
Li Yue basically maintained a two-point line between the carriage and the inn's bedroom. Tie Chuanjia also tried his best to not let her see anything that would hinder the youth's growth and development. However, this didn't mean that Li Yue was really like her shell, an ignorant child who didn't know anything.
Along the way, the three of them stayed in about twenty inns of various sizes. More than half of them were rumored to be gangsters. Some of them were prepared to rob them on the night they checked in. Unfortunately, most of them were killed by Tie Chuanjia instead. The moment Tie Chuanjia rolled up his sleeves, the remaining ones decisively put down their butcher knives and obediently did business in the inn.
The rest of the inn staff who weren't clean recognized Li Xunhuan at a glance. Intimidated by the name "Li Fei Dao Never Misses", they all tucked their tails between their legs and behaved themselves.
The fake child Li Yue looked at the gangsters who eagerly poured tea for Tanhua Lang. Their exposed skin was covered in scars and tattoos. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Even if the gangsters were addicted to alcohol and didn't care about worldly affairs, they were still gangsters whose names shook the underworld.
