Chapter 282 New Year's Eve Dinner, Attack
Mo Qing pursed his lips and shifted his gaze to Bai Yao and Shen Li. In fact, three people can fight, right?
Shen Li: "After the New Year's Eve dinner, let's go set off fireworks or go for a walk on the street. Let's not fight."
Judging from how decisively Pei Yu refused, it’s better not to fight.
Bai Yao nodded, "It's almost time for dinner, let's go eat first."
Mo Qing: If none of the four people fight, how can he fight alone?
"Forget it, let's play it another day."
"Let's go, let's go eat."
The New Year’s Eve dinner was very sumptuous, with more than twenty dishes. There were not many people, so we simply did not have separate tables and sat around a large round table.
Shen Changshan raised his glass and said a few polite words, and then everyone started eating.
Everyone had a pot of wine at hand, and each poured a glass of wine and drank a glass before eating.
Pei Yu was sitting with Mo Qing and Shen Yuanzhou. He wanted to sit next to A Li, but that was not possible now.
There was a charcoal brazier in the room, so the food didn't cool down so quickly. There was no need to talk while eating or sleeping, so everyone ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was quite warm.
After dinner, the streets were bustling today. Everyone wanted to go out and take a look. Plus, it didn’t snow at night, so there were many people on the streets.
Shen Li and Pei Yu were walking at the back, and as they walked they became separated from the crowd.
Pei Yu pulled her to the other side, "Where are you going?"
"Ali, let's go shopping by ourselves and not join them, okay?"
Shen Li smiled: "You pulled me here, and now you ask me what I've been doing."
Pei Yu pushed her shoulders and walked forward. When passing by a small stall, he took the masks of the Big Bad Wolf and the Little White Rabbit from the stall, put the Little White Rabbit mask on Shen Li's face, put on the Big Bad Wolf mask himself, then took her hand and walked into the crowd.
Well, she seems to know the function of this mask.
The two were walking in the crowd. There were many men and women wearing masks like them. No one said anything and they were all shopping on their own.
Shen Li bought some food on the street. When she couldn't eat anymore, she stuffed it to Pei Yu who was standing beside her, and he either ate it or held it in his hand.
Shen Changshan and Lin Cuicui walked around the street for less than half an hour before returning. By this time everyone had already dispersed.
Only Xu Taohua stayed with them. She did not bring Shen Mochi out. He was too young, it was windy and crowded outside, so she just let the maid coax him to sleep.
Shen Li and the other person gradually came to a small river. Although it was not that day, there were still vendors on both sides holding river lanterns to sell. Many river lanterns had already been placed in the river.
Pei Yu walked over and asked for a Heju river lantern, wrote a note and stuffed it inside, then walked over with the lantern.
"Ah, let's release it together."
"Do you still believe this?"
Pei Yu took her hand and interlocked their fingers, "I didn't believe it before, but now I do."
Before he met Shen Li, he had never thought about what it would be like to be with someone for the rest of his life. In addition, due to his childhood experiences, he did not believe in these illusory things.
But now, he is willing to believe these, just because there is someone in his heart and they have a bond from then on.
The two walked up along the river and squatted down in a place where there were fewer people.
Pei Yu squatted behind Shen Li, held her petite body in his arms, took out the lantern, took the girl's hand, and put the river lantern into the river.
When Shen Li turned around, she saw that he had his eyes closed, with thick and long eyelashes hanging on his eyelids. After a while, he opened his eyes and met her gentle gaze.
"What wish did you make?"
Pei Yu raised his lips and smiled, "Buddha said it cannot be explained."
There were many people here, so Pei Yu pulled him up and walked back slowly.
In the previous twenty-two years, he had never stopped to take a good look at this lively scene. Firstly, it was irrelevant to him, and secondly, he had not seen such a warm scene for a long time and subconsciously rejected it.
Now, looking at the girl beside him, he had concerns, a beloved woman. Her arrival brought all these things into his world.
Shen Li saw a stall selling fried meatballs, bought one, and put one in front of Pei Yu, "Ayu, you try it first."
His thoughts were disrupted, Pei Yu took off his mask and opened his mouth to eat.
"How's it going? Is it delicious?"
"good to eat."
Shen Li took off the mask and placed it in his hand, "I think it tastes good too. It smells delicious."
As he spoke, he put one in his mouth and ate it as he walked. There were only twelve meatballs in a serving and they were quickly finished.
As soon as they reached a relatively quiet alley, they both stopped.
Shen Li looked at Pei Yu and asked, "Who have you offended during the New Year? I won't let you have a good time even on New Year's Eve."
Pei Yu shrugged his shoulders, pulled her to his side, and made a gesture. More than a dozen arrows shot towards them in the dark alley.
With the faint moonlight, you can see that the arrow is flashing with a cold light. The color is slightly different and it is poisoned.
As soon as the secret guard behind him appeared, he started fighting with the man in black who wanted to attack him.
Pei Yu used his inner strength to block the arrows that were flying at him, batch after batch, and no arrow could get close to him.
Shen Li stood beside him and did not relax her vigilance. She felt that someone was watching her in the dark. She used her mental power to investigate and found a man in black chasing with a bow and arrow in an attic not far away. The arrow was pointing at Pei Yu.
It was obvious that the man had internal strength, because the arrow was surrounded by internal strength, and Pei Yu's mind was mostly focused here now. If he was attacked by surprise, injury was inevitable.
"Ayu, there's someone in the attic right in front of us, trying to launch a sneak attack."
After hearing this, Pei Yu circulated his inner strength and the arrow changed direction and shot back again. After doing this twice, he finally couldn't calm down.
"Hey~"
An arrow came towards them with a huge sound. Pei Yu pulled Shen Li into the darkness. The arrow shot straight into the wall, and the arrowhead was buried by the wall.
"Ali, wait here for me. I'll go and take care of that guy."
"Okay, be careful."
"Ah."
Pei Yu went around in the darkness and headed towards the attic. At the same time, two more arrows shot over.
Shen Li dodged, bent down, picked up two poisoned arrows from the ground, and threw them in the direction from which the arrows came.
If the tiger doesn't show its power, people will think she is a soft persimmon that can be pinched, right?
The two arrows seemed to have eyes and flew towards the remaining two men in black who were drawing their bows and shooting arrows.
"Pfft~"
The men in black behind him were quickly dealt with by the secret guards. Instead of helping Pei Yu, they surrounded Shen Li.
Pei Yu quickly came behind the man in black, and the two of them started fighting in the narrow attic.
Although the man in black had good martial arts skills, he was still no match for Pei Yu. In the end, he was stabbed in the left chest by the soft sword he carried with him, and was carried down from the attic.
"Ali, are you hurt?"
Pei Yu threw the person to the ground, pulled Shen Li and turned her around.
"I am fine."
Pei Yu pulled her and ordered in a cold voice: "Clean up this place and take this man back for interrogation."
"Yes."
