Li Jianbai, who was standing behind, looked out thoughtfully.
"Shengwa, go back quickly." Li Jianbai's voice was slightly cold.
The boy not far away still had a look of disgust on his face, but his eyes were shining brightly.
How could Li Jianbai not see that the young man was happy?
Hearing Li Jianbai's words, Li Shengwa shook his head, "I haven't finished cleaning yet, Third Uncle. You can leave first, I'll stay here."
“Shengwa”.
Li Jianbai's voice turned completely cold.
"Your sister is waiting for you to come back and help her grind the ink."
In the afternoon, the girls had a calligraphy competition, and Li Shengwa promised his younger sister that he would be her teammate.
There's a calligraphy competition this afternoon, would you like to come and watch?
Le Shengwa felt a little uneasy about leaving so simply.
If Gu Xinglan can come and watch the game this afternoon, he will go back now.
After all, Gu Xinglan was his first pen pal.
He wanted to maintain this relationship.
Contest?
Will I be able to see Li Hetai? Gu Xinglan subtly raised her eyelids.
He had a guess, but no evidence.
"Okay, I'll go."
“If you want to come, come to my yard first. Outsiders aren’t allowed in there.” Li Shengwa’s voice rose a few decibels, and the corners of his mouth turned up in a wild grin.
Upon seeing this, Li Jianbai, who was standing behind, darkened his eyes considerably.
It was sunny in the afternoon.
Gu Xinglan was about to go over when the manager found him.
"Xinglan, I'm short-handed here, can you come and lend me a hand?"
"I have an appointment here." Gu Xinglan scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.
The person in charge was also extremely guilty.
"An appointment? Is having an appointment more important than getting work done?"
“It was Le Sheng Wa. They had a competition and asked me to go and do it.”
"That won't do either. This is Third Master's business, of utmost importance. Besides, their competition is held at the family school, so outsiders can't get in. I'll have someone inform them later."
The manager came over and took his hand, saying, "You can come with me without worry."
Although it was called "working," it actually meant helping Li Jianbai grind ink.
Why did he feel that Li Jianbai had deliberately intercepted him?
I was hoping to visit Lihetai on this trip.
Gu Xinglan gently pinched the ink stick with her thumb and forefinger and slowly began to grind it on the inkstone, her movements unhurried and deliberate.
Her exposed face was as white as jade, with a high and delicate nose. At this moment, her eyes were slightly lowered, and her long eyelashes cast a faint shadow on her eyelids, making her look serene and beautiful.
A faint scent of ink wafted through the air.
Li Jianbai, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but stop what he was doing, completely unaware that his expression had turned blank.
"The ink is ready."
Gu Xinglan felt that direct gaze, and her movements became a little unnatural.
Is there something on my face?
"without……"
In the instant his consciousness returned, Li Jianbai lost control of his strength, and the slightly damp brush immediately stuck to the thin Xuan paper.
"I'll get you a different one."
Gu Xinglan hurriedly ran out of the courtyard.
Li Jianbai, standing behind Gu Xinglan, could easily see that Gu Xinglan was trying to escape. He coughed and shouted, his voice becoming extremely hoarse.
Oops.
He felt that Li Jianbai had designs on him.
Gu Xinglan ran out, her forehead beaded with sweat, and her expression was somewhat frightened.
"Brother Zhuang, Third Master wants you to bring the Xuan paper inside." He called out to Li Zhuang in the courtyard.
Upon hearing Li Zhuang's response, Gu Xinglan immediately disappeared.
When Li Jianbai limped out...
All I could see was that receding figure.
Upon seeing this, Li Jianbai's vision went black, his heart ached with a dense, stinging pain, and tears welled up in his eyes.
Shouldn't the characters in storybooks be shy?
He didn't do anything excessive to Gu Xinglan like the characters in the story, but he couldn't help but focus his attention on Gu Xinglan, and the other person ran away as if he were a monster.
Gu Xinglan, who had fled back to the courtyard, looked pale and sickly.
How could he not recognize that look in his eyes?
That's the look in Li Hetai's eyes from his past life!
If he pretends not to see it today, he might be tied to some bed tomorrow, which is a matter of his physical and mental health.
Gu Xinglan turned her head away, still feeling a lingering fear.
Fortunately, no one chased after them.
"Mr. Gu, why are you running so fast?" Li Yuan was approaching from behind, unusually wearing a white shirt.
I saw several rolls of Xuan paper next to Li Yuan.
Looks like they're going to a calligraphy competition.
If he could go with Li Yuan, he could meet Li Hetai and, by the way, ask if Li Hetai has been following him lately!
He always felt that someone was watching him from the shadows, but he couldn't find any trace of it.
The black fabric I just saw in the bathroom confirms that someone was indeed lurking in the shadows.
He quickly asked Li Yuan, "Are you going to a calligraphy competition?"
Li Yuan nodded, stroked his beard, and smiled, "Today is Labor Day for the boys, and also a calligraphy competition for the girls. The Li family mansion hasn't been this lively in a long time."
Can I go with them?
Gu Xinglan stood up straight, looking at Li Yuan with great spirit, as if she wanted to follow him.
"You want to come over?"
“Yes, I can come and help,” Gu Xinglan said firmly.
Li Yuan smiled at the person in front of him, and agreed in just two seconds.
"Okay, come with me."
Entering the Li family's private school went smoothly.
Inside, there was a densely packed landscape. The leaves of the trees shaded the sunlight overhead in varying shades, and there were shadows on the arms. As soon as you entered, you felt comfortable in body and mind, and a cool breeze blew Gu Xinglan's hair.
Feeling inexplicably excited, Gu Xinglan kept observing the surrounding route.
He was about to see Li Hetai, whom he hadn't seen for two months. How could he not be excited?
Whether Li Hetai was fat or thin, whether the whip marks left scars, whether he was sleeping well, whether he could still eat the food here... all sorts of divergent thoughts gradually intertwined.
He's crazy.
You must be crazy to have feelings for Li Hetai.
“Just walk this road and you’ll be there.” Li Yuan handed him the Xuan paper.
"You go ahead."
After saying this, Li Yuan left, and Gu Xinglan took the things and went into a large pavilion.
The pavilion is very large, almost like a small square, located in the middle of the lake. More than a dozen pillars extend downwards from the eaves, and the surface has intricate patterns.
Gu Xinglan stopped in her tracks, her eyes filled with shock.
This is huge! It's practically a tourist attraction.
"Gu Xinglan".
The sound of the wind mixed with a muffled human voice reached him, and he could only vaguely make out that someone was calling him.
Is it Li Hetai?
Gu Xinglan's eyes lit up slightly, and she quickly turned her head away.
The result was a girl.
"what are you doing here."
The original owner's ex...
Li Peiluo looked down at him, his eyes slightly narrowed.
He felt a cold sweat break out on his back from being stared at. "Uncle Yuan asked me to bring something over."
Gu Xinglan kept her head down and didn't move an inch.
The Xuan paper was taken away by a slender hand.
Li Peiluo looked coldly at the person in front of her, "Get out, you're not welcome here."
After that warning, she waited specifically in her own courtyard, but after two nights she still hadn't seen Gu Xinglan.
The next time I saw him was in the water room.
Hearing that Gu Xinglan would drown in the washroom, she even felt a strange sense of relief and exhilaration.
Even after so long since the breakup, she still hasn't moved on.
Because she hadn't moved on, she felt angry when they met again, angry that this person had left her so easily.
This man is a true gold digger, a man from a poor background who lives off a woman. She knows that Gu Xinglan's feigned weakness is all for the money in her pocket. It's just money! If her collateral branch inherits the Li family group, she can have as much money as she wants!
Li Peilu bit her lip and took out her bank card from her wallet.
When she walked up to Gu Xinglan, she held the corner of the card and slightly lifted Gu Xinglan's chin.
That face was absolutely stunning; after all these years, the man had become even more handsome.
This action was tantamount to bringing back the frightened expression on Gu Xinglan's face, who had been looking straight ahead.
