Liuli didn't know how she left the wine steward, nor when Xu Shijiangshan parted ways with them. When she came to her senses, she and Chu Han were already on a painted boat, and he was standing in front of the boat.

Looking at the lake in a daze.

Occasionally, a few wisps of breeze blow by, causing ripples to appear on the calm lake surface one after another. Just like the human heart, it can never really calm down.

Apparently, he was still angry with her for what happened just now.

Liuli stood up and wanted to get closer to him, but was frightened by his cold aura. She walked towards him with heavy and hesitant steps. It took her a long time to walk just a few steps.

"Han." I wanted to reach out and touch him, but I still didn't dare.

"Come here." He didn't look back, he just said two words lightly. Although his tone was calm, it was no longer as cold as in the tavern just now.

Liuli felt happy and her steps became brisk. Looking up at his quiet and clean face, she whispered: "I'm sorry."

"It's me who should apologize." Chu Han looked down at her and saw her dull expression. He softened his face and pulled her into his arms. "I'm sorry, I had a bad attitude just now."

She couldn't react, so she just stared at him blankly.

"What? Are you still angry with me?" He reached out to brush away the petals on her hair, and his eyes became softer.

In July, the locust flower bloomed brilliantly. After a moment of dazzling brilliance, it gradually drifted away and returned to the loess. He held the petals of the locust flower taken from her hair in the palm of his hand, holding them very tightly. The small petals

It turned into powder in his palm, and as he spread his fingers, it was blown away in the wind.

Liuli looked at the gradually dispersing dust. She didn't know why, but her heart suddenly became sad. Her lips moved, and she murmured: "How could I be angry with you? Obviously... you are the one who is angry with me."

He was startled, his expression was complicated, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Finally, he rubbed the ends of her hair and gently held her in his arms, "You must have been scared just now."

She nodded honestly, remembering the fear at that time, the corners of her eyes couldn't help but moisten again, and she felt a little aggrieved: "I was wrong, couldn't you take a look at my love for risking my life to protect you and be a little gentler to me?

"

Risking her life to protect him... In the end, she didn't know what he was angry about, maybe even he didn't know. Seeing her desperately using her little body to block him, at that time, apart from shock and palpitations, she could only

There is so much anger left.

But until now, I still can't figure out what I'm angry about.

He sighed silently. "You are not wrong when the road is rough."

Liuli opened her eyes, "Yes, then why are you still angry?"

Chu Han shook his head and whispered: "I'm out of breath."

"You lied!"

His eyes flashed, and an imperceptible smile appeared on the corners of his lips. "Okay, I apologize. I'm sorry."

She just pursed her lips. No matter how many words or grievances she had in her heart, she couldn't express them. "Okay, I'm not right either. I have to be brave when I don't have the ability to protect myself. I'm sorry. I will measure myself first when doing things in the future."

ability."

If he hadn't been good at martial arts, they might not have been able to walk out of that tavern unharmed today.

Chu Han nodded, secretly praising her good nature for knowing her mistakes and being able to correct them. "A child can be taught."

"Then you're not angry now, and you're not pointing your face at me with ice cubes, are you?" That ice face was so cold that she was not only scared, but also felt inexplicably distressed.

He raised his eyebrows, "Ice face?"

She nodded vigorously, "It's as cold as a thousand-year-old ice. It scares people to death."

Scaring someone to death is not worth your life... Ha! This girl's words are quite fresh. "From now on, I will try to be gentler to you. However," the topic changed, and his eyes became stern again: "In the future, you are not allowed to use your body to hurt anyone.

You are not qualified to use others as a shield."

Liuli was startled by his sudden change and nodded instinctively, "I know."

It turned out that what he had been angry with was not that she acted rashly when she saw injustice, but that she still used her body to protect him at all costs despite knowing that her abilities were limited. Suddenly, her mood became brighter, and the smile gradually spread on her face.

He smiled happily. "Are you nervous about me?"

Whether she was nervous or not, there was no need to say anything. His big hand holding her shoulder tightened unconsciously, and in the end he said nothing.

Liuli's mood completely improved. On such a sunny summer afternoon with falling locust flowers, she tasted the sweetness of love. Marriage comes first, love comes later. It turns out that two people without a foundation for love are not destined to have a happy marriage.

At least, she doesn't dislike Chu Han, and even has a little fondness for him, and he... probably doesn't hate her either.

Thinking like this, she suddenly decided that from today on, when facing him, she would no longer disguise herself or even vilify herself like Liuli did before. No matter what purpose he had in approaching her, at least, she could not feel his malice.

Perhaps, as he said, he just came to repay his kindness. These ancient people always regarded kindness as very important.

"The locust flowers are blooming particularly beautifully this year." She unconsciously took his big palm and stood at the front of the boat, feeling the fragrance and romance of the fallen flowers. "It's so beautiful."

Chu Han's eyes were fixed on her face, which was like a hibiscus, pure and pity, and any flower in the world would be eclipsed in front of her. He opened his thin lips and admired unconsciously: "Indeed, it is very beautiful.

"

In such a romantic and warm moment, Liuli's eyes suddenly moved, and some mischievous thoughts arose in her heart. Her husband was secretive and his martial arts were unfathomable. If she was in danger, no matter when and where, she would

Can he protect her anyway?

Calmly letting go of her hand, she moved a few minutes closer to the front, half of her slender body reaching beyond the edge of the boat. Her delicate white hands stretched out into the air, just in time to catch a falling petal: "

Look, this locust flower is really beautiful."

She turned around to look at him and smiled sweetly, but the moment she turned around, her foot slipped and before she could scream, her weak body fell towards the center of the lake like a leaf falling in the wind.

"Li'er!" The figure falling towards the lake drew a beautiful arc in mid-air. Chu Han's heart tightened and he jumped up, holding her tightly in his arms before she fell into the water. Their bodies were still

Before touching the water, Chu Han stretched out his right hand and struck the water with his palm. With the rebound force, she jumped up, turned over in mid-air, returned to the painted boat, and stood firmly on the painted boat's armored warehouse.

.

He looked at her dazed little face and breathed heavily: "Are you scared? Don't be scared, it's okay!"

Unexpectedly, Liuli, after being stunned for a while, suddenly showed him a big smile. The smile was as bright as a star and overflowing with sweetness. "It's great to have you."

It's great to have you!

But Chu Han's heart was inexplicably burned by these words. She said... It's great to have him. She trusts him and even relies on him...

"The sun is scorching. Princess, please go back to the cabin and have a rest."

Time seems to have stopped at this moment.

Liuli looked at the hand stretched out to her, her heart suddenly became desolate, and the smile on her lips gradually faded away. He called her princess, but she didn't know what she had done wrong, and he began to alienate her again.

The princess is not Li'er. There is an insurmountable gap between the two of them.

"Are you angry that I teased you?" She ignored the hand that stretched out to her, and instead looked straight into his cold eyes. One moment she felt like she was in heaven, and the next moment she felt like she was in hell. How could she be willing to do so?

Just miss him like this?

"So you're teasing me on purpose." The complicated expression disappeared in a flash. He took her cold little hand and said calmly: "Don't make such nonsense again. If I don't have time to react, you will get hurt."

"Do you care?" She followed him into the cabin like a puppet, but her eyes that stared at him were filled with stubbornness and unwillingness.

He seemed to think for a while before nodding and replying: "Yes."

She didn't know whether his "yes" was true or false, or whether it was for her as a person or for her identity as the seventh princess of Yueli Kingdom. In just a moment, he went from being a husband she could rely on to just walking side by side with her.

Mr. Chu who is with her, or Mr. Chu who may take advantage of her at any time for his own purposes!

There is only desolation left in my heart.

Outside the cabin, the fallen flowers are still there, drifting in the wind and drifting silently. The love flower that has just sprouted in the heart has died before it has grown and returned to the loess.

Chu Han, do they have to get along in this way? Why can't he be more hypocritical to her, even if he uses lies to coax her?

While meditating, the sweet tinkling sound of the piano came from not far away from the lake. The sound of the piano was quiet and tinged with sadness. It combined with Liuli's mood at this moment, and she suddenly felt the urge to cry.

"Who is playing the piano?" She concentrated her attention and hid the disappointment in her heart. She looked outside. She didn't want to be alone with him in this cabin anymore, fearing that she would lose her manners in front of him if she couldn't control it for a moment.

.

Since he was ruthless to her, why should he let him see her grievances and add to his troubles? Although she didn't know whether it was true or false to repay her kindness, she could clearly see that marrying her was not what he wanted. No matter what, this

A marriage is not of his own will.

In this case, why force him to stay together with her and be in love with her? After all, the melon that is forced will not be sweet, and there will be no happiness if it is forced.

She stood up, slowly walked out of the cabin, and followed the music to see the painting boat parked not far away.

Chu Han, who walked out behind her, followed her line of sight and saw the boat. He whispered: "It's the boat of the singing girls in this area."

"Geisha?" The new but not new vocabulary aroused her interest, "Which geisha is it?"

"I don't know." He rarely visited the land of fireworks, and he had never heard of the famous singers and prostitutes in Yueli City.

Liuli actually didn't expect him to answer, and it was even more to her liking that he couldn't answer. At least it meant that he was not a man who often went to a place where fireworks were used.

With a bitter smile on her lips, she said: "Let's go over and have some fun."

"What are you playing for?" As a girl, he didn't think it would be fun for her to find a geisha.
