CHAPTER XLIV

Zhou Li thought, although everyone thinks of themselves as children, children actually know a lot of things.

Everyone said that Concubine Wu was good friends with her mother and was the most kind person, so she took extra care of herself. It's just that when he wears less, if he lets Concubine Wu see it, he will only complain about why his subordinates are so slack; And Xie Yiying saw it, but he would take off his coat and put it on him.

That's what really good to him. He made it clear.

"Why are you standing here?"

Zhou Li didn't answer her question, but just asked her, "Why didn't you go to see me?" ”

Xie Yiying was stunned for a moment, how to say this, it is not good to tell this kid that he has forgotten about him in the past two days because he has been busy catching ghosts, scratched his nose and replied: "Do you still lack someone to see you?" ”

"You're no one else?" Zhou Li looked at her stubbornly, and the ink in his eyes stopped like a drizzle.

How am I not someone else? Xie Yiying subconsciously wanted to refute, and then reacted, she was really no one else. She is Zhou Lizheng's aunt.

Now this woman who hooked up with children indiscriminately really felt guilty. "Hmm...... Then you...... So how are you doing now? I heard the doctor say you're okay that day. ”

Zhou Li thought about it, pursed his mouth, and looked aggrieved: "It hurts." ”

"Oh, don't cry." This time Xie Yiying was in a hurry, she naturally didn't know that this little kid was pretending in front of her, she liked him because of his good looks, but now seeing his wrinkled little face, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that she was wrong.

"Then what should I do, I'll send you back? You live with Concubine Wu, don't you? ”

Zhou Li held the corner of her skirt with her small hand, "I don't want to go back." ”

"And where are you going?"

"I'm going with you."

…… What? Where are you going with me?

When Zhou Li sat opposite her and had dinner with her, Xie Yiying finally understood where he was going with her.

In the morning, she had already sent someone to tell Concubine Wu, and Concubine Wu agreed very neatly, as if she was very willing to shake off this hot potato. Xie Yiying naturally didn't know Zhou Li's appearance as a demon king in front of others, and thought that he was just a beautiful child who was liked, and she felt strange when she learned about Concubine Wu's reaction.

Don't you tell me a few words? What should I pay attention to in eating and living, and don't let him freeze when it's cold. Leave a cat at home and explain for a long time.

Zhou Li drank the mountain mushroom and wild pigeon soup spoonful by spoonful, and was still not satisfied: "You said last time that you wanted to cook for me." ”

"Some are good at eating, and they are picky." Xie Yiying put a chopstick of green vegetables in his bowl, "Eat more green vegetables, don't be picky." ”

It's not that she doesn't want to cook for him, it's just that now in the courtyard of the Junwang Mansion, she doesn't have her own kitchen, so it's not convenient to cook by herself after all.

Zhou Li didn't mind picking up a green vegetable and stuffing it into his mouth, puffing out his cheeks and chewing while saying, "I don't like to eat carrots." After listening to this, Xie Yiying sandwiched another piece of carrot for him.

"Why don't you want to live with Concubine Wu?"

Zhou Liman didn't care: "She doesn't like me again, and no one in the entire Prince's Mansion likes me." ”

Xie Yiying didn't understand his definition of dislike: "They're not good to you?" You're the emperor's eldest grandson. ”

Zhou Li lowered his eyes and concentrated on eating the vegetables, eating the vegetable leaves little by little, acting like a fat rabbit, "They are good to me and the emperor's eldest grandson, but they are not as good as me." ”

Xie Yiying vaguely understood what he meant.

Adults always think that children are good as long as they are satisfied with food and clothing, but in fact, children are very sensitive, if you ignore them, you are angry with them, they will hurt. It's not just hating that hurts, dislikes are enough for them to find out.

"The prince doesn't like you either?"

"I don't like it."

"Where's your mother?"

"She doesn't like me either." Zhou Li's voice was muffled.

Xie Yiying didn't understand now, she took Zhou Li's soup bowl and filled it for him, "Why doesn't your father like you?" ”

"Because I don't like to read." Zhou Li subconsciously concealed it.

"Oh...... That's not good. Xie Yiying does not doubt him, "But how old are you, not to mention that blank youth is shameful, don't waste your limited youth in infinite books, and seek no cliff with a cliff, it's a shame." He casually said some nonsense, and asked him again, "It's impossible for your mother not to like you." ”

"She just doesn't like me," Zhou Li still didn't raise his eyes to look at her, lowered his head and picked up the piece of carrot in the bowl and crunched and ate it, "Because my father doesn't like me." ”

"This makes no sense, think about it, you were conceived and born by your mother in October, that is to say, if you push it forward, it will be a piece of meat in her belly, and you and her were one at that time, so how could she not love you, she loves you like she loves herself."

People sometimes deliberately avoid looking at others, because they are afraid that the look of their eyes will reveal the true feelings in their hearts, Zhou Li doesn't dare to look at Xie Yiying, his indifference and arrogance are pretending, his pretending to be stupid and coquettish in front of her is pretending, he is afraid that as soon as he raises his eyes, people will see the fragility and helplessness hidden in his heart, and he doesn't want to be a six-year-old child at all.

It's okay if you don't love me, I don't need you.

But Xie Yiying knows that everyone needs to prove that they are loved, no matter how much they pretend to be uncaring on the surface. If there are people in this world who still care, you will live a meaningful life; If no one cares about you anymore, your life is worthless.

"Maybe she's just...... Don't dare to come out. Sometimes...... To love a person is to stay away from him. ”

"You don't understand." Zhou Li didn't want to talk to him about this topic anymore. Xie Yiying changed the topic with kindness, "I will have the opportunity to cook Yangzhou fried rice for you in the future." ”

"What is Yangzhou fried rice?"

"Yes...... Well...... Fried rice in Yangzhou. ”

"What kind of place is Yangzhou?" Zhou Li naturally knew what Yangzhou was, but he deliberately teased her.

"It's a place where fried rice is abundant." Xie Yiying impatiently turned it into a chicken-and-egg problem, "Eat well, so many words." ”

Zhou Li really closed his mouth and ate obediently, and stopped talking. It lasted until the evening, when Xie Yiying was discussing arranging a bed for him, and he said, "I want to sleep with you." ”

"Say it again."

"I'm going to sleep with you."

Xie Yiying turned his head to look at Qingmei: "Don't bother to prepare a bed for him, throw it back to Concubine Wu." ”

Zhou Li pursed his mouth and pretended to cry: "I'm only six years old." "Tears were in my eyes like a poor herbivore.

…… You're a little brat, you're pretending, aren't you? Where did the tears come from, so quickly said that there were them?!

Xie Yiying pinched the tender bun face to relieve her anger, "Six years old is a big child." ”

"You don't cook for me, you don't sleep with me." The child frowned, tears rolling in his eyes. Swear to God, it was the first time that Zhou Li found out that he had this skill of pretending to be pitiful.

So that night, Zhou Li finally got into Xie Yiying's bed.

Although I had been with him for a long time before, I still carefully covered him with a quilt at night and wrapped the child into a fat meat dumpling.

"Won't you coax me?" Zhou Li blinked his eyes, like a puppy.

Xie Yiying thought for a long time, and tentatively recited two sentences: "The Emperor of Heaven, the Emperor of the Earth, there is a night crying man in my family." The passer-by gentleman recited it three times and slept until dawn. ”?

Zhou Li's buttocks twisted and turned his back.

…… It's so hard to coax a little kid.

Xie Yiying sighed and lay on his side, then patted him again and again, humming in his mouth: "My baby baby, give you a little sweetness, let you sleep well tonight, my little ghost, tease your eyebrows, let you like the world, lala, my baby, there is someone to accompany you the whole time, oops, yes, my baby, let you know that you are the most beautiful......"

The singing voice was gentle, and after singing for a while, seeing Zhou Li's nose moving, showing a sleepy appearance, Xie Yiying was about to stop, and heard Zhou Li suddenly whisper:

"Don't believe Zhou Jin."
