As he listened, the corners of his lips raised slightly, revealing a faint smile. He looked at me and said, "Do you also miss the scenery of the capital?"

"..." I shut my mouth immediately.

But he smiled and continued: "Of course I also like the scenery of the capital."

"..."

"I like every place you and I have visited together."

"..."

"I still remember every place I went to with you..."

As he spoke, his voice slowly lowered, as if a drunk man began to murmur unconsciously, and his face showed an almost intoxicated expression. He held my hand and slowly lowered his head.

, warm lips fell on my fingertips.

He is kissing my fingertips!

The originally cold fingers regained some feeling in the warmth of his palm, and at this moment, they felt the hot breath and shuddering touch brought by his soft lips.

He kissed my fingertips slowly, bit by bit, as if he cherished every inch of skin and every moment of skin-to-skin contact.

But I felt like I had been bitten by a snake. I stood up and pulled my hand back.

He opened his eyes wide in astonishment and looked up at me. My already tense emotions almost collapsed, tears filled my eyes and were about to burst out.

He said in a deep voice: "Qingying——"

"What on earth are you going to do?"

"..."

"What on earth are you going to do?"

I held the burned hand and couldn't support it anymore. I slowly squatted down against the cold wall behind me. My whole body seemed to be trembling from the cold, and even my voice was thick.

The cry was almost broken: "What on earth are you going to do to me?"

He stood up, but did not approach me immediately. Instead, he stood there holding on to the table and just looked at me.

Watch my tears fall in big drops.

Seeing me almost breaking down and going crazy under his tender care.

But I no longer dare to look at him, for fear that the next moment, his gentle mask will be torn to pieces, and he will pounce on me like an angry leopard, bite my throat, and tear apart everything I have at the moment.

——My family, my husband, my daughter, I look forward to the extravagant happiness.

After an unknown amount of time, in this almost suffocating silence, he spoke.

But the voice was low, almost hoarse: "Here comes someone."

"..."

I raised my head in panic and saw two attendants walking in outside the door. They usually picked me up and sent me back every day.

"Send Qingying back."

"Yes."

His hand holding the edge of the table was slightly tense, and the veins on the back of his hand were protruding, but he still stood there without moving. He just watched them come over, help me up, and send me out, but he never stopped.

He glanced at me, just so quietly, but as if he was suppressing something, and didn't look back.

Not long after I got home, Liu Saner also came back. When he saw me sitting on the bedside, looking a little pale, he hurriedly came over and said, "Why, are you feeling uncomfortable again?"

I glanced at him and shook my head gently: "It's okay."

"Why are your eyes so red?"

"I——"

I was about to say that I was blinded by the sand, but before I could say anything, he lowered his head and saw my hand: "What's wrong with your hand?"

I was suddenly shocked.

When I was at Pei Yuanhao's house before, I had always been suppressed by him. On the way back, my mood almost completely collapsed. I even forgot to remove the gauze on my hand. Liu Saner immediately became anxious when he saw it: "Your hand

Why are you wearing gauze? Are you injured?"

I thought about it and immediately said: "It's okay. I just wanted to boil some hot water and accidentally burned it."

"Are you burned? Is it serious?"

"It's not serious, it's okay, just a little bit."

"Did you take the medicine?"

"It's medicine, don't worry." Looking at his concerned look, I couldn't help but feel warm in my heart, and said softly: "I'm not that stupid, of course I need to apply medicine and bandage if I get burned. Look, it's fine.

."

He immediately frowned: "You said it was fine, look at you, why did you hurt yourself again?"

"You're not careful."

"You." He held my hand carefully and looked at it for a while. Because it was wrapped with a bandage, he couldn't really see the extent of the injury. He only looked at my faint and relaxed smile, and he felt relieved.

, but still said reproachfully: "Don't be so careless in the future. If you get hurt like this, I——"

At this point, he suddenly paused.

I was stunned for a moment and looked up at him.

But I saw a faint blush appearing on his dark face, and when he saw me looking at him, his face became even redder.

I don’t know why I wanted to laugh, but as soon as I smiled, I immediately felt a little sad.

Although I am not sober enough or smart enough most of the time, I know that sometimes, happiness breeds in the most difficult and possibly most dangerous times.

I know at this moment, I don’t know how many people are around here, and how many pairs of eyes are staring at our small room. What they are going to bring may be the bad luck that will destroy everything, or they may leave and never be together again.

The entangled decision, but none of this can stop this moment. I looked at Liu Saner's slowly blushing face, and felt a faint joy in my heart.

……

The two of us sat facing each other quietly, as if they were keeping each other company. They didn't say much, and he held my hand gently, not even hurting me.

After a while, he said: "I want to discuss something with you."

"What's going on?"

"I want to take you and Li'er out of here."

"..." I was stunned for a moment, and I couldn't react for a while: "What?"

"Leave Jixiang Village and go somewhere else."

"...why?"

He looked at me and then said: "Actually, I have always had this idea before, but my parents were not traveling far away, so I never really did it, but this time -" When he said this, his eyes dimmed slightly.

After a pause, he slowly said: "First of all, if I cause such a lawsuit, I am afraid that I will not be peaceful in the future. It is unknown whether the people from Yangzhou Prefecture will come back to cause trouble. It is better to leave here.

Okay; secondly, I don’t want to stay in this small village all the time. I, I want to go out and have a look.”

I looked at him, slowly came back to my senses, and asked: "Where do you want to go?"

"I heard that there are some academies that recruit students even if they are older."

"..."

"I want to go see it, work and study at the same time."

"..."

"I don't want to listen to what those people say about current affairs and the merits and demerits like I did before. I want to study hard by myself, see the world for myself, and see the merits and demerits by myself."

"..."

"Tell me, is this good?"

I didn't speak for a while, and after a long silence, I said softly: "Leave here?"

"Yes."

"Have you already made plans?"

"I have been thinking about this for a long time, but I still have to ask you. After all, we are a family, and I hope that my idea can also get your support."

As he said that, he looked at me and said seriously: "Qingqing, are you willing?"

I didn't answer him immediately, I just lowered my head slowly, but my originally calm heart surged suddenly at this moment.

Get out of here!

Leave!

Leaving this village, leaving Jiangnan, leaving this place that Pei Yuanhao knows, this is something I almost dream of doing these days, but I don’t dare, because I don’t know how Pei Yuanhao will treat him.

We, and I don’t dare to speak to Liu Saner easily, because those are all the past that I can’t bear to look back on.
