"Tick tock, tick tock..."

There seemed to be the sound of water dripping in my ears.

The sound was well-proportioned, like the sound of nature, and suddenly brought back Li Chenan's thoughts that were floating in the clouds.

He still felt very sleepy, but he forced himself to open his eyes.

What caught his eye was that familiar face.

It's just that the face looks more haggard than before, like a peach blossom that is about to wither. The petals are slightly curled, and the color of the flower is slightly white and withered.

She is Zhongli Ruoshui.

She was sitting in front of the bed, leaning on the edge of the bed with her elbows and supporting her chin with her hands.

The eyes that were once clearer than Peach Blossom Creek became a little cloudy, and lost their former charm.

There was sadness, worry and expectation in her eyes.

She lowered her head, and suddenly seemed to feel the warmth of Li Chenan's gaze on her face. She raised her head and looked at Li Chenan.

Then, a flower bloomed in front of Li Chenan——

She was startled at first, then her eyes suddenly brightened, and then her slightly pale face turned red. Finally, the corners of her mouth raised, her eyebrows arched, and a low-pitched sentence floated out of her little mouth.

But these words made Li Chenan feel very serious:

"You finally woke up!"

You finally woke up.

How much worry did she contain in these words of relief?

She is the third young lady of the Zhongli Mansion. She has an identity that few people can match, but she actually cares about her as deeply as a mountain.

Such emotions were something Li Chenan never had in his previous life.

In his previous life, he cared about another person, but his deep love was like water in a river.

I am very lucky in this life.

I am lucky to meet a woman who loves me deeply.

He stretched out a hand from the quilt, smoothed the scattered hair on Zhongli Ruoshui's forehead, then held Zhongli Ruoshui's hand, and said softly: "I made you worry."

Jianwu, who was standing behind Zhongli Ruoshui, turned around and faced the rain outside the window. She curled her little mouth and suddenly realized that although the peach trees outside the window had withered their flowers, the greenery was even more abundant.

"How long have I been asleep?"

"Three days!"

"...That was indeed a long time."

"Isn't it? It really scared me to death. Never do that in the future! You have to remember that you still have me!"

Li Chenan laughed, "Well, I understand."

Zhongli Ruoshui did not withdraw her hand, her little hand was in Li Chenan's palm. She felt the warmth coming from Li Chenan's palm, letting her know that this was not a dream.

"But you are so powerful. You actually killed Song Yuanping. Now all the police officers in Guangling City have been dispatched and are searching for you as a murderer throughout the city!"

"Do they know I did it?"

Zhongli Ruoshui shook his head, "No one knows. You can rest assured to recover. They are just showing off. The unlucky ones are those little ruffians in Guangling City."

When Zhongli Ruoshui talked about the little ruffian Li Chenan, he suddenly remembered Xiaotian from the Ax Gang.

He told Xiaotian to gather the boys from the Ax Gang, but he didn't know if they would suffer this unreasonable disaster.

"I want to go to the city."

"You are still seriously injured. With Su Muxin and the others taking care of the tavern, there will be no problem."

"That's not it. I have to ask if those people from the Ax Gang have been arrested. I promised them that I would give them a bowl of rice."

Zhongli Ruoshui was startled, his brows furrowed slightly, and he asked doubtfully: "What use can those little ruffians do?"

"Don't underestimate them. They are all orphans. Firstly, they are pitiful, but secondly... if you treat people like them better, they will really trust you with their lives!"

"After the brewery is built, it will definitely attract some people's attention. I need them to help me do some shady things."

Zhongli Ruoshui understood.

In this current situation, the relationship between her and Li Chenan cannot be announced yet, so in the eyes of everyone in Guangling City, Li Chenan is still a small businessman.

When his Painting Spring is put on the market in the future, it will definitely have a huge impact on Guangling San. The Guangling Huo family will never allow this to happen, and they will definitely find ways to deal with Li Chenan.

Even if they know that Li Chenan built the brewery next to Peach Blossom Creek, even if they know that this piece of land belongs to her Zhongli Ruoshui, once the core interests of the Huo family are endangered, even if they don't do anything openly, they will do it secretly.

It will definitely cause damage.

The kind of evil that hides in the dark is the most troublesome.

Li Chenan has obviously realized this, so he also needs some power hidden in the dark.

"How about... I send someone to the Yamen to say hello?"

"No, it's better for me to handle some things myself."

"...You treat me as an outsider?"

Li Chenan stretched out his other hand and scratched Zhongli Ruoshui's nose, "What are you thinking about? It's just that I can really do this, and I'm thinking... your mother might be tempted."

"Oh," Zhongli Ruoshui nodded obediently, but he was a little worried, "But the injury on your body... Doctor Zhang said that your injury is very serious, you lost too much blood, and you will be bedridden for more than a month."

"It's okay, how can I be so precious?"

After saying this, Li Chen'an withdrew his hands, propped his elbows on the bed and tried to get up, but he grinned and made a "hiss" sound, which scared Zhongli Ruoshui and quickly supported him and laid him flat on the bed.

The wound is very painful.

That guy might even break apart.

Li Chenan stretched out his hand and touched it. His fingertips were a little moist, and blood obviously overflowed from the bandage.

"Don't move!"

"It's most important for you to recuperate now. As for mother... why do you need to take care of her now?"

Li Chenan lay down, looked at the white curtain, pondered for a moment and asked, "Is Li Xiaohua okay?"

"He was stabbed twice, one in the arm and one in the thigh. I also asked the doctor from Huichun Hall to apply medicine on him. I think he will be fine."

Li Chenan didn't say thank you, because that would have seemed awkward.

"Our brewery..."

Zhongli Ruoshui interrupted him this time.

"You man, why do you still think about the workshop now?"

"Just lie down and we'll talk about everything after you feel better."

"Are you hungry? I asked Xue'er to ask the kitchen to stew chicken soup, and I'll let her get it after a while. Doctor Zhang said that you should take a good supplement after you wake up, but I'm not afraid of leaving any sequelae, because Mr. Wu said that if you practice well

Once you practice the exercises he gave you, your body will naturally recover."

Li Chenan thought for a moment, and realized that there was really nothing he could do in this situation.

Then just stay in Haozheng for two days.

At this moment, Wu Xichen walked in.

"Boy, are you awake?"

"You have exceeded my expectations. I don't know if I should say that you are lucky."

He came to the bed and "stretched out his hand."

"What are you doing?"

"I'll take your pulse."

Li Chenan stretched out a hand and said with a smile, "Are you still sick?"

Wu Xichen's hand fell on Li Chenan's wrist, "It's not a disease."

"what is that?"

After a moment, Wu Xichen's face showed a hint of joy, "You kid, you actually have one!"

Happy pulse?

Li Chenan was startled, "Master, I am a man!"
