Since Gao Xi and Gao Ran reconciled, the relationship between the two seems to be basically the same as before on the surface. But if you dig deeper, it is not difficult to see that in fact, there are two obvious changes compared to before!

For example, Gao Ran trusts Gao Xi more than before. Moreover, if she wanted to ask him for help in any matter, she would no longer just tell him to do what she wanted, as she had done before, but would ask for his opinion—although he would probably not completely refuse what she wanted to trouble him to do, but more than before, he would selectively agree, and often put forward his ideas to her, and on several occasions some of his ideas that were obviously different from hers inspired her unexpectedly, and she immediately changed her original plans, and renegotiated specific measures with him......

Although she never said it explicitly, Gao Ran had confirmed her trust in him with such a practical change in her, which was far greater than before! Even Gao Xi no longer questioned it: if Gao Ran could say anything to a second person other than herself, she would have basically told him! He should already be the only person in the world who knew the most of her secrets!

But he was extremely glad about this: it was precisely because he understood why Gao Ran was so defensive against him before, and now he would better understand how much courage and how much risk it took for her to trust him like now?—— he knew very well that if she did this, he would make him to her, either the person she could rely on the most in this world, or the person in the world who could easily destroy her—— everything was only in his thoughts!

Gao Ran did this, which was tantamount to putting almost her own fate into his hands—— and her attention and trust in him, Gao Xi saw it all in his eyes and remembered it in his heart.

Because of this, he was finally able to completely calm the grievances in his heart. He can finally have the confidence to say to himself: "At least, before she is completely out of danger, I will be the only person in her heart who cannot be easily replaced—— even if it is not absolutely irreplaceable, but the possibility of being replaced is absolutely minimal—— and it is not easy to do this—— and I have done it!"

But on the other hand, Gao Xi is also knowledgeable and doesn't dare to make any more inches.

He knew how rare it was for him to be so trusted and relied on by Gao Ran like he was now! Naturally, he was even more reluctant to easily hurt their current intimacy. For this reason, he began to remind himself all the time: now is not the right time for him to talk about his children's private affairs, and he can't destroy this rare intimacy with her now!

Therefore, the more Gao Xi is afraid of destroying the unusually "close" relationship between him and Gao Ran, the more he will constantly remind himself - you must not exceed the rules!

Over time, not to mention that he will be more restrained and settled than before in his behavior: not only will he deliberately keep a certain distance from Gao Ran on weekdays, and avoid getting too close to her as much as possible, but even his speech on weekdays has obviously become much more divided than before. - Although he still calls her "Ran'er", he will no longer talk to her about anything that will involve his private feelings, except for looking at her with the same affection as before, he will stroke her hair at every turn like before, or suddenly hug her into his arms, but he has never appeared again!

Although Gao Ran was still a little unaccustomed to Gao Xi's change at first, and always felt that something was wrong with him, but after she silently observed him later, and finally figured out why he was like this and the concerns behind it, she accepted his change calmly, and quickly adapted to their new relationship that is "both intimate and separate".

And just when they were getting more and more accustomed to this new way of getting along with each other, half a month passed quietly unconsciously...... naturally, Gao Ran's little uncle also came back as promised.

But when he came back, although he immediately realized that many places in his home had been modified by Gao Ran, he did not punish her for this, but only told her to go to his room with him, saying that he wanted to talk to her alone!

As soon as Gao Ran heard that she was going to enter his room with Uncle Xiao, she immediately took out the close-fitting silk handkerchief and used it as a veil, and after she covered her mouth and nose, she then followed Uncle Xiao's pace and followed him to the backyard......

When Uncle Xiao saw her like this, he didn't understand why she came here, but after he personally pushed open the door of his bedroom, he understood the reason: it turned out that Gao Ran had indeed kept his house clean for the past month—and even maintained it a little "excessively"! But she had never cleaned or tidied up his master bedroom!

"Little girl, shouldn't you explain, what do you mean by being so favoritous?!Is it possible, you still think that entering my room will be dirty for you?!" Uncle Xiao questioned with obvious displeasure.

But when Gao Ran heard this, not only was he not weak-hearted, but he also asked with a puzzled face: "Little uncle, is there something wrong with your head?! This is your 'bedroom'! You just let others go in and out of your sleeping place at will......? ! Wouldn't it be too casual?!

"Okay! Even if you don't mind, then I'm afraid that if my uncle and aunt know that I have been in and out of your bedroom at will while you are away, then I won't know how to face her in the future—— don't forget, even if you are my little uncle, I am still a 'woman' after all! The so-called difference between men and women! You can't be too casual, right?! Besides, even if you don't mind, you can't guarantee that your uncle and aunt don't mind! I don't want to be affected by you......

"Oh--speaking of which, you just don't want to be affected by me!" As he spoke, the little uncle suddenly knocked Gao Ran off guard and slammed him violently, "Dead girl! You only have your uncle and aunt in your eyes, and you don't have me as a little uncle?! Don't forget, I'm still your master! You really dare not take me in your eyes?!"

Gao Ran listened, although on one side she was rubbing her head that was knocked by him, but on the other side, she was not angry, but only obviously pretending to be stupid and asked: "Master?!What Master?!I don't remember that I admitted that you are my master......

"Heh!" When the little uncle heard Gao Ran's words, he sneered, "Oh, yes, if you haven't already acquiesced to 'this', then why did you really move here so obediently in the past month? Who are you doing here? Aren't you trying to 'tell' my 'old friends' - you are my new apprentice?!"

"Oh, yes? huh...... Okay, even if you are right about the two things you said earlier, then how can you be sure that those 'old friends' of yours will definitely be able to see that I am your apprentice, and not just a new one of you who takes care of the home for you?!"

"Miscellaneous?!heh!" Uncle Xiao sneered again, and deliberately looked Gao Ran up and down, "Are you like?!Don't think that if you dress like ordinary people, you can be fooled! Oh, no, if you can really be fooled, then the person who can't recognize you is not worthy of being my 'old friend'! It's too embarrassing for me! Besides, if you think that I will let outsiders live in my house at will, and change my territory at will...... If you don't know me well, you don't deserve to be my 'old friend'...... I'm going to take this opportunity to re-screen ......."

"Oh-then, I should be able to meet your 'old friends' soon?!"

Uncle Xiao glanced at Gao Ran disapprovingly, but did not shy away and replied directly: "As long as their eyes see me, even if they come back and see what you have done, they still let you do whatever you want, I believe they will soon have something 'expressed' to you!

"Oh, that's right! I'm not in a hurry. After speaking, Gao Ran took the initiative to tear off the silk handkerchief that was originally used to block the ash from the mouth and nose on the face, and immediately changed it into a rag, and quickly wiped a chair for the little uncle, and then wiped it for himself, and then beckoned the little uncle to come and sit down with a flattering face, "Little uncle, you come and sit first! As for me, in fact, there is still something I don't understand, and I need you to solve my doubts! Don't worry, after asking this last question, I will immediately start cleaning this room for you! I promise that it will be cleaned clean!" ”

When Uncle Xiao saw it, he roughly guessed in his heart what she would ask, but he didn't want to take the initiative to say it, so he followed her wishes, and sat down cooperatively, ready to listen to her question.

"Hehe, that's right...... Uncle Xiao, as for the sachet you gave me, I have been carrying it with me for a month...... But there's nothing going on! Uncle Junior, is it your poison...... It's not valid for me?" When she said this, what Gao Ran really wanted to ask in her heart was: "Are you overestimating your own poison?" - but this is not easy for her to say directly......

"Heh!" Uncle Xiao just sneered after hearing this, but he didn't say much, just stretched out his hand and motioned for Gao Ran to take out the sachet and hand it to him.

When Gao Ran saw it, he immediately took out the sachet from his arms and handed it to him.

After taking away the sachets, Uncle Xiao said the last words, "You wait all night, and when it dawns tomorrow, you will definitely understand the power of this poison!"

With that, he got up, unloaded the big baggage of all kinds of strange medicinal herbs that he had brought back from his trip, which he had not unloaded since he had entered the gate of the mansion, and placed it on his chair.

"I'll go for a walk in the back mountains. When I come back, make sure that you are 'spotless' as you say! Otherwise, I will not be able to save you immediately tomorrow when you are poisoned......

After speaking, Uncle Xiao left with a wicked smile.

Gao Ran looked at the back of the little uncle who was walking away, and felt that he would definitely take the opportunity to deliberately delay her detoxification tomorrow so that she could suffer a little more! He must have wanted to take this opportunity to take revenge on her for changing his mansion without authorization, and deliberately neglecting the cleaning of his bedroom!

"I really hold a grudge! I really don't know if it's because I'm unladylike when I meet someone, or if we're just like things?! Otherwise, how could I meet such a grudge again and again?! The old man is like this, and so is the little uncle I am meeting now...... Belch...... Could it be that so am I?!"

Until this moment, even if she had such doubts about herself, Gao Ran still didn't think that many of the revenges she had been taking on others were more out of her grudges, and she still just felt that it was just a-for-tat that she had to do to protect herself.

So, she immediately deliberately comforted herself: "Even if it is, it doesn't matter! Anyway, my ultimate goal is not to take revenge, but to protect myself! If I don't retaliate, the other party will definitely gain an inch." Just because I don't offend people doesn't mean they won't offend me! Besides, I've only been offended by the same person a second time, and I've given them a chance, and that's good! Well, that's it! I'm much better than the 'two'! I'm not as grudgeful as they are! I don't even care about this little 'thing' with me......

Gao Ran was cleaning the room alone, while muttering to himself to comfort the fragile heart of the "victim" at the moment......
