The moonlight is very pale, the garden lights are sparse, and the clear light is cast on the blooming grass and trees in the garden. The spring flowers are in full bloom, and wherever you go, you feel happy everywhere.
As they approached Jiran Garden, Zhan Ning and Shi Guoxin, who had been waiting for a long time, saw them from a distance and walked towards them quickly: "Second Miss!"
Xia Zhaoyi knew that they had been waiting for her, so she smiled lightly: "I'm fine, you go and have a rest."
Zhan Ning and Shi Guoxin looked at Shen Lie and said respectfully: "Young Master Shen."
Shen Lie nodded: "I've seen it."
"Have you eaten, Miss Second?" Zhan Ning asked, "I'm going to the kitchen..."
"No need, Butler Zeng has already gone to give the instructions."
"Well, okay," Zhan Ning said, "but tonight, what about tomorrow's trip..."
"No change," Xia Zhaoyi smiled, "You guys should rest early and refresh yourself. We will take a detour to Xizhou Mansion tomorrow."
"Yes." Zhan Ning responded.
Before leaving, the two said goodbye to Shen Lie.
Shen Lie thought of what Qi Heizi and Uncle Dan said, and turned his head to look at the girl, wondering whether he should tell her or not.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a small thing suddenly jump out, and Shen Lie hurriedly looked forward.
Little things disappear.
"Ah Li." Shen Lie stopped.
"Um?"
Shen Lie was on guard all over, his ears moved slightly, he heard a small sound nearby and looked quickly.
The pale moonlight fell on the beautiful flowers, and under the rich shade of the trees, a little milk dog stuck out its little head, blinking and looking at him.
Shen Lie's thick eyebrows furrowed lightly.
The little puppy stared at him with big eyes and small eyes.
After looking at each other for a long time, the little puppy suddenly rushed out: "Woof woof woof! Woof woof woof!"
It screams milky and milky, and bares its teeth as it screams.
"Little Fatty!" Xia Zhaoyi shouted sharply.
"Woof woof woof!" The little puppy was wagging its tail desperately and running back and forth, all the while barking at Shen Lie.
Shen Lie finally remembered where he met it and looked at Xia Zhaoyi: "Is it your puppy?"
"Well, Uncle Liu picked up a little female dog and gave birth to a cub."
"Mr. Liuhe?"
"right."
"Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof!" the little fat boy was still shouting.
"It doesn't like me." Shen Lie looked at it.
Xia Zhaoyi smiled, squatted down and stretched out his hand: "Come here."
The little fat man ran towards her.
Xia Zhaoyi picked it up, but the little fat man lay on her shoulder and continued to bark at Shen Lie beside her.
Shen Lie took a step back.
Xia Zhaoyi patted the little fat man on the forehead: "Don't make trouble again."
The little fat man seemed to understand what she said and obediently shrank into her arms.
The soft down rubbed against her full clothes, and her head disappeared, leaving only half of her lower body, with her tail still wagging above.
Xia Zhaoyi looked up at Shen Lie and suddenly smiled: "The dignified General Shen has one man in charge and ten thousand men can't stop him, but he was drunk by a little puppy and took half a step back."
This was the first time she had teased him.
However, Shen Lie was elated and said with a faint smile: "It's not that I'm afraid of dogs, it's that dogs are more valuable than their owners."
The little chubby boy poked his dog's head out of the girl's arms and bared his teeth at Shen Lie. There were two rows of small teeth that hadn't grown yet.
"Little fat guy." Xia Zhaoyi was displeased.
The little puppy then raised his head and looked towards his master.
"I'm going to prepare a big pot, as well as star anise pepper and cinnamon bark," Xia Zhaoyi nodded its head, "Look at you still barking."
"Woo..." The little puppy snorted for a while.
Xia Zhaoyi chuckled and looked at Shen Lie: "I'm sorry, I haven't disciplined him well yet."
"There may be a reason why it attacks me so fiercely," Shen Lie said, "Or maybe..."
Shen Lie stopped and said no more.
I almost said it, or maybe he was unpleasant, but luckily I stopped in time.
It doesn't matter to him whether he is lovable or not. When he was young, he wanted to please others, but in the end, his father didn't love him and his mother didn't love him, so there was no need for it.
But it's different now. It's not necessary now, it's just not possible.
He raised his eyes and looked at Xia Zhaoyi with deep eyes.
Xia Zhaoyi looked at him brightly: "Let's go."
The lights in Jiran Garden were all bright, and Zhang Li was sleeping in the courtyard, with a coat covering his back.
The little fat boy yelled to wake him up. He rubbed his eyes and looked up. Just as he was about to come out, he saw Xia Zhaoyi and Shen Lie walking side by side.
"Senior sister!" Zhili said hurriedly, "Brother Shen!"
As he stood up, the clothes behind him fell to the ground.
"Huh?" Zhili leaned over to pick it up, "Who can put it on for me, senior sister, is it you?"
"It's not me." Xia Zhaoyi said.
"Who is that?" Zhili looked at the clothes. "It's strange. These clothes belong to me, and this person went to my room to get them. If it was Brother Zhanning who put them on me, they would have taken off their clothes directly.
It's with me, why are you running to get it?"
Xia Zhaoyi thought of what Su Yumei said and said, "Zhili, can you eat the candied haws?"
"I can't eat, I have no appetite. By the way, senior sister, what's the situation outside? Is it serious at Sihai Teahouse?"
"Let's talk in the room." Xia Zhaoyi said.
"Yeah!" Zhili responded, and then quickly ran to Shen Lie, "Brother Shen!"
Shen Lie smiled lightly and raised his hand to pat his shoulder.
The chef quickly delivered hot braised noodles and four or five side dishes.
Xia Zhaoyi was talking to Zhili about what happened tonight. Shen Lie listened quietly from the side, but his eyes were fixed on the braised beef that he had just put down.
He looked at the beef, then turned to look at the puppy that had been placed on the ground by Xia Zhaoyi, but immediately ran to squat under the desk in the distance.
As soon as the puppy met his gaze, he immediately sat upright and looked at him majestically, baring his teeth silently.
Xia Zhaoyi frowned slightly and turned around.
The puppy's face immediately changed, its tail wagged crazily, and it looked adorable.
Shen Lie was speechless.
This dog has become a sperm.
After thinking for a moment, he picked up a piece of beef with chopsticks, walked over and squatted down under the gazes of Xia Zhaoyi and Zhili.
The puppy quickly backed away and looked at him.
Shen Lie took off the beef and handed it to the puppy's mouth with his slender fingers.
"Do you want to eat?" Shen Lie asked.
The little fat guy's saliva came out.
The tengu struggled for a while, then walked over in small steps, sniffed it, and bit it.
"Wow," Zhi Lichao whispered, "Brother Shen is actually talking to the dog seriously."
"I also often talk to Little Fatty." Xia Zhaoyi said.
"But you are not serious."
"?" Xia Zhaoyi looked at him.
"No, no, no, senior sister, I mean, Brother Shen is so serious."
After Shen Lie finished feeding, he thought it was almost done. He paused and raised his hand to touch the little fat man's head.
Unexpectedly, just as he was about to reach out, the little puppy roared, followed by a series of "woof, woof, woof".
Shen Lie was not frightened at all and calmly withdrew his hand, which was really puzzling.
"Little Fatty," Xia Zhaoyi walked over quickly, "You're still calling."
The little puppy suddenly stood up, put its little paws on the corner of the desk next to it, and scratched it very gently.
Xia Zhaoyi was slightly stunned and looked at the small wooden black box on the desk.
She seemed to understand and raised her hand to pick up the small wooden box.
The fragrance inside is subtle and elegant, which is vaguely similar to the fragrance on Shen Lie's body, but not exactly the same.
Xia Zhaoyi was embarrassed for a while.
It turns out that the little fat man thought Shen Lie... was a thief.
