Seeing that Li Qing's face suddenly became gloomy, Li Zhi's cheeks couldn't help but change color, and he raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "But don't worry, I will try my best to help you press it on the family side." If there are really any bad signs, I will let you know as soon as possible. ”

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and Li Qing suddenly smiled again: "Thank you, cousin." ”

"What are you talking to me about? Li Zhi smiled, "The two of us are like brothers, as long as we join hands, there will be no hurdles that cannot be overcome." ”

Li Qing nodded slightly, and Li Zhi said something next to him, but he didn't listen to it at all. Raising his head and looking at the clear blue sky, Li Qing couldn't help but be full of emotion, he now understood the suffering of the head of this family. Obviously, the blood is dissolved in the water, but intrigue is indispensable, and I am deceitful. Under the smiling faces, there are murderous intentions everywhere.

"Oh, this isn't a little barbarian. Li Shi suddenly focused his gaze on Li Xiaoman, "What are you doing hiding so far away, I didn't even notice you." ”

Li Xiaoman didn't know when he had already hid behind Li Qing, and when he heard Li Zhi call himself, he was startled, his small body trembled, and the butterfly in his hand took off his hand, flapped his wings and flew into the flowers, and disappeared.

Reluctantly retracting his gaze from the direction where the butterfly flew away, Li Xiaoman raised his little head and called sweetly: "Second brother." ”

"Hey. Li Shi responded with a smile, and couldn't help but praise: "This kid is clever, and he has the same temperament as our Li family when he speaks and acts." If we didn't know this, who would have thought that it would be you who would recognize your godsister. ”

Li Qing was a little unhappy: "Cousin, I still have to go to see Qiuqiu." ”

"Oh, yes, yes. You just came back, you should go to see Qiuqiu first, his due date is approaching, so you have to be more careful recently. Li Zhi flashed to the side and got out of the way, "I'll go with you." ”

"No need. Li Qing refused, "My cousin has too many things, how dare I trouble you again." It's not that I don't know the way, just go by myself. ”

"In that case... All right. Li Zhigan laughed, "I just had to go out for a trip, so I left first." You have a good rest tonight, and I'll hand over the latest things to you tomorrow. ”

"Cousin walks slowly. Li Qing said lightly, waved his hand, and left with Li Xiaoman.

Li Zhi stood in place, quietly staring at Li Qing's back, until the two of them turned the path and disappeared, he picked up a cigarette between his fingers and lit it, and took a deep breath.

Licking his lips, Li Zhi threw the cigarette he had only smoked to the ground, lifted his leather shoes and twisted them fiercely, turned around and strode away.

"Xiaoman. Li Qing lowered his head and asked softly, "You hate him?"

"Of course. Xiao Man replied without raising his head, "He is really annoying, he talks and walks like acting, and he looks fake." ”

"It's not easy for this little girl to see this step. Li Qing thought silently in his heart, and suddenly asked, "Then are you afraid of him?"

The little feet stagnated slightly in the air, Xiao Man raised his little head to look at Li Qing, and nodded his head without a trace.

His eyes flickered slightly, and Li Qing tried his best to soften his words: "Why? Why are you afraid of him?"

Xiao Man hesitated for a moment, frowned slightly, and then replied timidly: "I heard him behind his back... Scolding me for being a wild seed. ”

"Xiaoman, do you know why he scolded you like this?"

Li Xiaoman raised his head and stared at Li Qing, his big eyes blinking and blinking: "Because I'm not from the Li family." ”

"No, you're already a member of the Li family. Li Qing patted Li Xiaoman's head, "But no one believes it." ”

Li Qing squatted down and stared at the little girl's nephrite-like white cheeks: "Xiaoman, what I can give you, my brother has already given it to you." You're smart, I don't know if you'll understand it today, but you have to keep it in mind. What kind of person you want to become, what kind of things you want to do, you have to rely on your own efforts. No one, including me, can help you, and there are far more demons in this world than you think. Low self-esteem is a good thing, it will make you know how to be humble. Pride is also a good thing, it will give you the motivation to act. These two things are indispensable. ”

"Do you remember?"

Xiao Man nodded slightly: "I remember." ”

"Alright, let's go. Li Qing stood up again and walked towards the back house.

Li Xiaoman ran forward a few steps, then stopped and waited for Li Qing, who was walking behind. After doing this a few times, she turned around and looked at Li Qing with big eyes: "Brother, don't you like Sister Qiuqiu?"

Li Qing was stunned, and his face turned a little pale with fright: "Why do you ask this? Could it be that Qiuqiu said so?"

"No, that's my guess. ”

Li Qing breathed a long sigh of relief: "I'm about to be scared to death by you." ”

"Because I don't think my brother is in a hurry at all. Li Xiaoman glanced at the flowers on both sides of the path, "You walk so slowly..."

"Xiaoman, come here. The corners of Li Qing's eyes twitched, and he called softly, "You come and touch my brother's hand." ”

"Oh?" Li Xiaoman tilted his little head and leaned over and put his little hand on Li Qing's big hand.

While walking, Li Qing lowered his head and asked, "Do you feel something?"

"My brother has a lot of sweat in his hands, it's wet and sticky, it's so annoying. ”

Li Qing smiled bitterly, took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his hands: "You know how nervous I am now, I want to hurry up, but... These two legs have been trembling, but they can't walk fast, and even now they have the urge to turn around and run away. ”

Xiaoman looked puzzled: "Brother is so inferior, are you afraid that Sister Qiuqiu will beat you?"

"You're still too young, and when you have someone you like in the future, you'll understand. Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and as soon as he looked up, the back house had already revealed its outline among the flowers.

"It's here. Li Qing said softly.

Xiao Man ran out of the small garden with Huan'er and entered the house excitedly: "Sister Qiuqiu, Sister Qiuqiu, brother is back!"

Long Wu roared, and his voice was like a bell: "Stinky girl, how many times have I told you, slow down, slow down!

"Stinky old man, I want you to take care of it!" Li Xiaoman shouted angrily, and then rushed over and grabbed Lin Qiuqiu's hand and shook it again and again, "Brother is back!"

Ning Manxuan smiled and grabbed Li Xiaoman's shoulders and pulled her to the back: "We all know it." ”

"Sister Manxuan. Li Xiaoman turned around, threw herself into Ning Manxuan's arms, and threw her on the sofa.

Ning Manxuan exclaimed, and immediately laughed with Li Xiaoman: "Giggles, you're coming down soon! My sister's clothes have soiled you..."

Looking up slightly, Ning Manxuan glanced at the door quite casually, and the laughter stopped abruptly.

Fang Yong howled, rushed up directly from the sofa, took two steps forward, suddenly remembered Lin Qiuqiu's words, and paused, took a big step back, and sat back on the sofa: "Brother Qing, you're back." ”

Li Qing looked around the room, his gaze lingered on Lin Qiuqiu's bulging lower abdomen for a moment, and then moved to the delicate cheeks that revealed a bit of mature charm.

Looking at each other, Li Qing's lips trembled slightly: "Qiuqiu, I... It's back. ”

Lin Qiuqiu pursed her lips, her eyes wandered around Li Qing, and she frowned tightly. What he's been through outside.

If Li Qing still had the so-called youthful spirit a year ago, now there is only a heaviness that is almost out of breath. At this moment, he seems to be more consistent with the identity of the head of the Li family, but it is not what Lin Qiuqiu wants to see.

It may be difficult for others to perceive this change, and they will only feel that Li Qing is more mature and stable than before, but in the eyes of Lin Qiuqiu, who is as careful as a hair, Li Qing's state of mind has already been turned upside down.

"You..."Lin Qiuqiu glanced at Li Qing lightly, "Just plan to be stupid all the time?"

Li Qing woke up instantly, strode into the house, came to Lin Qiuqiu's side, leaned down and gently hugged her in his arms.

Staring at the beauty's beautiful beauty, straight nose bridge, and mouth-watering mouth, Li Qing felt a huge sense of happiness and satisfaction from the bottom of her heart.

Lowering her head, Li Qing gently kissed Lin Qiuqiu's eyebrows, and whispered softly in her ear: "Qiuqiu, thank you for your hard work." ”

Ning Manxuan covered Xiaoman's eyes and snorted: "You two... There are also children. ”

"Sister Manxuan, what are my brother and Sister Qiuqiu doing?" Li Xiaoman asked innocently, "What's the difference?"

"Yikes. Ning Manxuan was startled, and immediately blushed, "Stinky girl, what nonsense! Where did you learn this?"

Fang Yong and Long Wu glanced at each other, and they both got up with embarrassed expressions: "Why don't we go back first, and come back in the evening..."

"No, let's stay, there's a lot to talk about. Li Qing and Lin Qiuqiu didn't know what to whisper, and when he let go of the delicate body, the latter's delicate cheeks were already covered with red glow.

"Women are such deceitful creatures. Seeing Lin Qiuqiu's shy appearance, Ning Manxuan pursed her lips, grabbed the small balls braided from Xiaoman's head and shook them, "When you grow up, can you become like this, do you understand?"

Li Xiaoman looked around smartly, shrunk into Ning Manxuan's arms and smiled backwards. Even if she has a ghost idea, she is still not old enough to know anything about the love between men and women, she just thinks it's fun.

Li Qing and Ning Manxuan glanced at each other, and the corners of their mouths flashed with a soft smile: "Manxuan, this time... Thank you. ”

"Qiuqiu and I are good sisters, and it is natural to take care of her. Ning Manxuan snorted lightly, pretending to reply casually, "It has nothing to do with you, don't put gold on your face." ”

"I understand. Li Qing smiled and nodded, then leaned on Lin Qiuqiu and sat down.
