Liu Zhi finally withdrew from the study room and looked at the hot soup on the fire outside. The bones and meat had been cooked to a crisp, and when she opened the lid of the pot, a burst of white smoke came out, which made Liu Zhi unable to open her eyes.
In this way, she concealed her confusion and flushed face. She sifted out the spices with a spoon and poured out the hot soup. But she kept blaming herself in her heart: She was just thinking about finding an opportunity to gain a reputation, otherwise her days would go by day by day.
If things go on like this, since I don't have a serious status, I can only find any servant to marry.
What a great opportunity just now, why didn't I just go with the flow and throw myself into my arms?
Liu Zhi had her own little thoughts. Cheng Dalei was nestled in the study, not feeling very well. At this time, Liu Zhi had already come in with the soup and divided it into fine porcelain bowls.
The soup was extremely fragrant and turned white. However, Cheng Da Lei's mind was not on the meat at the moment and had already drifted to other places, but it was a pity that this pot of good soup was missing.
"Sit down and eat some together."
Cheng Dalei was sitting at the table, and Liu Zhi was still standing aside. Of course, it had been like this many times before.
"The boss is sitting here, so it's my place to sit there. I can just wait here."
"Hey, there are so many rules. We used to be very casual in Qingniu Mountain."
"This is not the past, and this is not Qingniu Mountain anymore."
Liu Zhi said softly, feeling a little sad in her heart. It is indeed different now. Cheng Dalei has more and more subordinates, and the power of Toad City is getting stronger and stronger, but she still feels that the distance between herself and Cheng Dalei is getting farther and farther.
I used to think of myself as someone close to me, but now I am just a maid serving tea and water.
Cheng Dalei also let out a long sigh, but he didn't have as much emotion as Liu Zhi. He should have been fully focused on the enemy, but the smell of the pot of meat still distracted him. Maybe He Shen, the bastard, said it right, be your own man
Don't be too restrained. But the annoying thing is that He Shen didn't tell himself how to be less restrained.
He ate slowly, and he and Liu Zhi didn't say much during the meal. The two of them were in the same room, but they remained silent.
Over and over again in his mind, Cheng Dalei thought about how to break the deadlock. He went from Qingniu Mountain to Toad City and experienced many things. Now his martial arts skills are unparalleled in the world. Cheng Dalei also knows a little about fighting and has the ability to lead a team.
.However, when it comes to matters between men and women, Cheng Dalei doesn't have much experience after all. If he were rated according to the system, he would be considered bad at best, not even ordinary.
When the soup in the bowl was gone, Liu Zhi continued to serve him calmly. Although Cheng Dalei repeatedly asked her to sit down, she insisted on refusing and made it clear that she was just a serving maid.
Cheng Dalei was helpless. Spending time like this was not an option after all. He put the bowl on the table and said, "I won't eat anymore."
Both of them were sweating a little, either because of the heat or because of other reasons. After hearing Cheng Dalei's words, Liu Zhi immediately breathed a sigh of relief and put away the dishes and chopsticks on the table.
"Master, please take a rest early. I'll be outside. If you need anything, just call me."
Cheng Dalei's heart was pounding, and he really didn't know what to do. Finally, he remembered He Shen's words. This kind of thing doesn't need to be thought about too much, and it's not worth thinking too much about. Just say it.
Can.
"Yeah." Cheng Dalei said with a cold face, "You can rest here today."
Liu Zhi was holding the bowls and chopsticks and was about to leave, but she suddenly paused when she heard these words. Cheng Dalei looked at her back, and his heart skipped a beat. Is this girl going to fall out on the spot?
Then, I heard her say "hmm" in a weak voice like a mosquito.
Liu Zhi was extremely panicked, but if she looked back, she would find that Cheng Dalei was even more panicked than she was, and he was nothing more than a paper tiger.
When Liu Zhi left and came back, Cheng Dalei was lying on the kang taking a nap, squinting his eyes and peeking at Liu Zhi. Seeing that Liu Zhi's face was flushed and she was too embarrassed to lift her head, and she heard the sound of rustling in her ears, she would
The outer skirt was untied, the wooden hairpin was pulled out, and a long curl of hair flowed out. Then he stood on his tiptoes and blew out the oil lamp, and climbed onto the kang in the dark.
In the darkness, she felt rough hands holding her wrists. Liu Zhi's whole body tensed up. She did not lack the experience of being in the same room with Cheng Dalei, but this time was different from the past. After all, Cheng Dalei no longer wanted to be a gentleman.
.
In the hazy state, she felt Cheng Dalei pulling her closer to his arms. Liu Zhi felt dry all over and felt that there was a fire in her chest, ready to come out.
She squeaked and said in a waxy voice: "Master..."
Cheng Dalei blocked her lips, leaving her speechless.
…
The next day it was bright and sunny.
Cheng Dalei went to bed late and woke up late. When he woke up from the study, he saw that the bed beside him was neatly made, and Liu Zhi was nowhere to be seen.
As soon as she yawned and sat up from the kang, Liu Zhi came in from the outside. Nothing could be seen from her face, but her cheeks were red from the sun. She was holding a copper basin in her hand and a towel on her arm.
"I'll wait for the master to wash up."
Cheng Dalei agreed, but he didn't know how to face today's relationship. He had to pretend to be serious, and Liu Zhi waited on the side, waiting for Cheng Dalei to wash his face and mouth, and then help him change clothes.
Wrapped in a soap-colored robe and put on cowhide boots, she looked a bit more energetic. During the process, Liu Zhi only served her attentively, but didn't say a word. She just made people feel a bit more relaxed, unlike a few days ago.
So resentful.
"Master, last night you said you would bring your wife back," Liu Zhi reminded carefully.
"Yeah." Cheng Dalei nodded, planning to leave this matter to the people of Longzi Army.
The current situation is indeed a bit tense, but it is better for Su Ying and Fan Lihua to live in Toad City with peace of mind. Even if Canary wants to step out of the cage, it will not be now.
Cheng Dalei indeed had something to do. Today he was going to see how the discussion at the Military Policy Office was going. He really didn't have much time to waste on Liu Zhi and think about the future relationship between the two.
And Liu Zhi's reaction was as if nothing had happened, as if he was Cheng Dalei's personal property, and Cheng Dalei could take it and take it away.
Cheng Dalei was not only a little surprised, but a thought came to his mind subconsciously: Is it just that?
Then the next thought popped up: So that’s it?
For the first time, Cheng Dalei felt the sweetness of power. Walking from Qingniu Mountain to Toad City, he was not clean, and the bad reputation spread in the world was not just a rumor. He had killed many people, and what he had done was not
Completely correct, but one thing has never changed about Cheng Dalei.
He never felt that he was superior to others, he always regarded himself as an ordinary little person.
However, this is no longer the case.
Today, he has already determined someone's misfortunes and blessings with one word, and determined someone's honor and disgrace with just one word.
