Jin Yunlan also sat on the roof, wondering for a moment who had offended whom. She cupped her chin and stared with interest at the tips of his ears that were so red that they were almost bleeding. She couldn't help the man in front of her retracting his head into his knees.
The shy man only connected with Li Zhi, who had stood in front of her just now, risking all his efforts to isolate all dangers for her, and was brave and skillful in fighting.
But even though he had already answered shamefully, she still refused to let him go with bad intentions, and maliciously added fuel to the fire: "Azhi, did you add some calming magic to your kiss? It's really amazing.
, how come all my uneasiness and panic disappeared in an instant." She scratched the shell of his ear teasingly.
He buried his face deeper.
After the two were silent for a while, Jin Yunlan complained: "Hey, hey, hey, how long has it been, haven't you calmed down yet? It was just a kiss on the cheek, and it was you who kissed me. You did it."
Why are you so embarrassed?"
Li Zhi coquettishly revealed a little of his red face from his arms. From the corner of his eye, he happened to catch Jin Yunlan's smiling eyes, and he immediately covered his face like a shrunken turtle.
"Don't look at me like this." He begged almost coquettishly.
"Okay, okay, I won't look at the head office anymore. Show your face, and you won't worry about suffocating yourself." Jin Yunlan squeezed his shoulders and shook him coaxingly.
After hearing her promise, Li Zhi dared to cheer up again and bring his beautiful face back to the world.
Jin Yunlan stretched out a fist and squeezed into Li Zhi's confused sight. With his palm spread out, there were two lychees.
"Hey, I brought this from Fusang Palace. Don't you like to eat this?"
Li Zhi was slightly startled, and his heart was rubbed hard.
Jin Yunlan didn't know why two lychees could move him so much. Sure enough, he was still young, naive, and easily deceived. It seemed that he should be more careful in the future.
Why don't you get a rope and tie him around your waist?
No, no, then it’s not a dog walk. It hurts people’s self-esteem.
Sure enough, he still has to register for marriage as soon as possible, so that he can be confident in mentioning the relationship between husband and wife when he goes out later. Let Zhuzhu prepare a copy of "The Way of Husband" to educate him, so that he can be foolproof with double insurance.
She looked at Li Zhi's cute way of lowering his head and silently peeling lychees, and she felt so excited that she almost couldn't help but pounce on him and eat him alive.
Li Zhi gave her the two peeled lychees in return. She ate one and left the other for him. Li Zhi was not polite to her, he was immersed in the joy of tasting the delicious food, and his eyes were shining.
.
He took a bite expectantly, but failed to raise the corners of his mouth that were ready to move.
"It's not delicious. It's not as delicious as the one you gave me the first time." He said disappointedly.
Jin Yunlan smiled softly: "Fruits that have been stored in the ice cellar for half a year are naturally not as delicious as fresh ones. Next summer, I will take you to the orchard to pick as many as you want...and watermelons! Put that watermelon in the well.
Soak in the water all afternoon, after dinner, sit in the yard to enjoy the cool air, and then cut a piece of watermelon. Oh, it’s so beautiful.”
Li Zhi saw her holding her chin, looking at the moon, and talking. Although the night blurred her face, the full moonlight in her eyes made her whole body shine at this moment.
Those good times he had never experienced were just the words she spoke, and he could imagine the peaceful scene. He couldn't help but look forward to where he would be in the picture she described.
He quietly moved closer to her little by little, listening to her talk about astronomy and the stars. She pointed at the stars in the sky and told them the names and origins behind them one by one, perhaps based on her rich imagination.
Or maybe it's really because she is knowledgeable and just picked it up casually.
But no matter what the situation was, as long as it came from her mouth, he would accept everything.
Jin Yunlan heard that he had not responded for a long time, so she turned to look for his eyes, and unexpectedly found his face close in front of her eyes, a pair of clear blue eyes, shining with light, almost infatuated.
She was in a state of confusion and pecked his slightly opened lips.
"This is what adults do, kid."
Li Zhi's face returned to normal and was suddenly covered in blush. He immediately turned his head and covered his mouth, surprised and delighted.
"Azhi, if I only have five years left to live, will you still be willing to get married to me? You may become a widower and need to raise our children alone. You can only rely on those beautiful memories for the rest of your life."
Her slightly sad tone suddenly pulled him out of the heart-pounding atmosphere. He regained his composure almost instantly and turned to look at her.
Her bleak and forlorn expression made him feel flustered. He couldn't tell for a moment whether she was making metaphors or telling the truth.
"Don't make such unlucky assumptions." He said in a tone of implicit reproach.
Seeing that he was serious, Jin Yunlan quickly squeezed out a smile to ease the atmosphere, and her tone was nonchalant: "You're just kidding... you haven't answered my question yet." She suddenly became serious again, as if she was really looking forward to the answer.
"Of course not!" he replied resolutely.
"Yes." Jin Yunlan sighed. Looking at the stars shining faintly in the sky, he said with emotion: "Although the stars will be eclipsed as soon as dawn comes, they will still shine until the last moment.
"So, what else do you have to worry about?" She reached out and held his slightly cold fingers, her eyebrows curved, and a little starlight appeared in her eyes.
Li Zhiwu let out a sigh of relief. At this moment, he was extremely glad that it was he who had this trouble, and not this woman who was sitting side by side with him on the roof and talking about what was in his heart.
But he could tell that she was in a low mood, and her pale brows and eyes were stained with the dust and fatigue of the night after working hard all day.
He didn't say anything, he just turned the hand she held, palm up, and intertwined his fingers with hers.
"But having said that, how old are you this year?" Jin Yunlan suddenly asked him.
"……Fifteen."
"Fifteen years old?! You've grown so big at the age of fifteen?" Jin Yunlan was so frightened that he broke away from his hand.
"Li's children develop relatively early." Li Zhi scratched his cheek shyly.
"Is it early there?" Jin Yunlan raised her eyebrows intriguingly.
Li Zhi blinked his innocent eyes: "What do you mean?"
"Ahem, it's nothing. But in Luo City, men can only get married when they are sixteen years old."
"A Li man can get married at the age of fourteen."
"Who do you want to listen to?"
"Listen to you."
"Do you need a betrothal gift?" Jin Yunlan laughed dumbly.
"No need. I will bring the dowry." Li Zhi replied seriously.
"What will be in the dowry?" Jin Yunlan asked curiously.
"There will be me."
"Eh? Is this a love talk?" Jin Yunlan looked at him with a smile.
"Yes." He nodded shyly.
Bai Tan was overjoyed to see Jin Yunlan and Li Zhi return safe and sound, but the look of sadness on his brows was still there.
Jin Yunlan told Bai Tan about Jin Yun Chong's defection to Fuguang.
Bai Tan immediately became alert, quickly wrote a letter, and knocked on the door of the inn overnight, rushing to spread the news back to Luo City.
At this point, the results of this trip have been achieved, and everything will be handled by the Jinyun Clan Association.
Jin Yunlan made a big fuss in the Fusang Palace tonight, and actually formed a quarrel with Princess Fusang. It was inevitable that Fu Guangyao would take revenge and take another dangerous move. They decided to leave the city immediately the next morning.
Before Jin Yunlan went to bed, Li Zhi came and knocked on her door. Before she could enter, a scent of honey locust hit her face. Remember that he had taken a very hard shower just now, and there was no pungent smell of spices from head to toe.
.
In order to reward his obedience, Jin Yunlan reached out and touched his still damp head, "Azhi, you are so good."
Li Zhi didn't feel angry when his head was touched. On the contrary, he felt very happy. He lowered his head slightly, his cheeks were slightly red, and his pure eyes shone with subtle light. From time to time, he would peek at her and say, "You..."
The alarm bells rang loudly in Jin Yunlan's head. His shy and ready-to-take attitude made her think of some outrageous things. She felt itchy and unbearable, and squeezed the sweaty palms of her hands. But then she thought about it.
He was not of marriageable age yet, so after much thought, she reluctantly gave up. She suppressed the raging desire in her heart, gritted her teeth and said, "No, not yet!"
Li Zhi explained: "I'm here to get my sword."
Jin Yunlan suddenly came back to her senses, turned around and saw that Li Zhi's Li Tan Sword was indeed lying on the table. It was the one he had given to her for safekeeping before taking a bath. She realized her shameful misunderstanding and said "Shua"
"With a click, her cheeks became hot. She quickly returned the sword with both hands, lowered her head and said hastily, "Have a good sleep", and drove him back.
On the other side, Li Zhi returned to his room with his sword in his arms. Thinking of the kiss on the roof, he leaned against the door, covered his cheeks happily, and smiled.
Early the next morning, at the same time, four people came out of the room and gathered together with different expressions. Jin Yunlan left Yucheng immediately after completing the check-out procedures.
When they left, no one appeared at the city gate to stop them. Jin Yunlan had doubts in her heart. Princess Fusang didn't look like a person who would give up, so it was really surprising that she didn't put anyone in place to block their way.
After the four people successfully left the city, they originally planned to return the same way they came. Unexpectedly, the shortcut they took previously was blocked because a group of nearby villages were temporarily blocked by Fuguang's order. They had no choice but to take a detour. The road was bumpy, but it was not bad.
smoothly.
At sunset, they happened to pass by Junmei Mountain. Seeing that it was getting late, they would have no place to stay if they went further. It happened that Bai Tan, the eldest in the team, was very familiar with this place, so they unanimously decided to rest for one night at the foot of Junmei Mountain.
If we continue our journey after daybreak, we will have one day of land journey left to reach the Rihuanjiang River where we came from. By then we can get on the boat and there will be no need to travel in such a windy and rainy way.
Bai Tan walked swaggering ahead and led his friends to a small, sparsely populated courtyard at the foot of Junmei Mountain. That was his short-term residence during the year of practicing in Junmei Mountain.
Xiuxiu was young, and she was exhausted from working non-stop throughout the day. When she saw the small yard not far away, she rushed over excitedly, hoping to find a place to stay and have a good rest.
Li Zhi followed Jin Yunlan closely and took the courage to secretly hold her hand.
Jin Yunlan turned her head and gave him a smile.
Li Zhi noticed that her smile was a little forced.
