Li Tingyu heard Li He say that he might come back early today, so he wanted to come and chat with Li He.

Since the death of his brother, Li Tingyu has taken over the responsibility of teaching Li He, and now although Li He has started a family and no longer needs him to teach, it is still necessary for uncles and nephews to move around often, not to mention that the two families are not very far apart.

Liu Yiyuan was fascinated by reading in the study, and when she heard that Li Tingyu was coming, she couldn't help but feel refreshed, and hurriedly put down the book and went out.

In Liu Yiyuan's heart, Li Tingyu is an elder who has both ability and prestige, so she has always respected him very much.

Although Li Tingyu is nearly forty, he looks only in his early thirties because of his good maintenance, and Liu Yiyuan can't help but sigh in her heart every time she sees him.

There is a kind of man who goes downhill as soon as he reaches middle age, which makes people feel disappointed. There is a kind of man who only begins to taste after middle age, and it is as exciting as a glass of alcohol. Li Tingyu is obviously the latter one.

How good it would be if he married someone like Li Tingyu! Liu Yiyuan can't help but think like this sometimes.

Of course, she also knew very well that her thinking was wrong, so she couldn't help but scold herself every time she saw Li Tingyu.

Li Tingyu had already entered the Hanging Flower Gate and was walking in the direction of Liu Yiyuan.

When his tall and straight figure appeared in front of him, Liu Yiyuan's heart couldn't help but beat wildly.

She took a deep breath, but her face was still flushed.

"I didn't know that my uncle was coming, and I missed the welcome. Don't be surprised! Liu Yiyuan said while saluting Li Tingyu.

Because of some nervousness in her heart, Liu Yiyuan didn't dare to raise her eyes to look at him.

Li Tingyu didn't dare to look at her directly, so he smiled half-squinted and said, "I happened to be early today, so by the way, come over and take a look, is He'er back?" ”

"He's having an appointment with a few friends this afternoon, so he may not be back until the evening." Liu Yiyuan replied respectfully.

Li Tingyu was slightly disappointed.

Since Li He was not there, Li Tingyu was naturally embarrassed to stay longer, so he said, "Oh, then I'll go back first." ”

"It's rare to come here, so my uncle will sit down and have a cup of tea before leaving." Liu Yiyuan said busily.

The voice fell. Even Liu Yiyuan herself was a little surprised.

How did you blurt out such a thing?

But when a guest comes, it is reasonable for the host to entertain the guest with a cup of hot tea. So Liu Yiyuan quickly calmed herself down again.

Li Tingyu thought for a moment before nodding lightly.

Liu Yiyuan hurriedly asked his subordinates to prepare tea.

She accompanied Li Tingyu to the living room.

The two sat down and there was a long silence.

But Liu Yiyuan didn't feel bored at all, she liked the feeling of Li Tingyu very much.

On weekdays, as long as Li He stays by her side, she will be inexplicably irritable, but when Li Tingyu is there, she feels very comfortable and at ease.

After drinking three cups of hot tea, Li Tingyu said: "I heard that He'er came back to accompany you after the Ya recently, and I am very happy for you when I hear it." ”

Liu Yiyuan hurriedly thanked him.

Seeing Liu Yiyuan's expression, there seemed to be difficulty/words/hidden. Li Tingyu hurriedly asked: "What contradictions exist between you?" ”

As soon as the words came out. Li Tingyu felt that he had too many things to do. Busy added: "I'll ask casually, you don't have to answer." ”

"My husband has treated me very well, and I have nothing to complain about." Liu Yiyuan replied softly.

Li He is an emotionally fragile person. She didn't want to provoke him by picking on him again.

Moreover, she also knew that Li He had done her best to improve the relationship between them.

She should be content.

But for some reason, she still feels that she owes something to her shortcomings.

That thing can't be given to her no matter how hard Li He tries.

She knew it was something called 'attraction'.

It is something that can only be experienced when two people who are truly in love/happy together.

In the past, Liu Yiyuan thought that she didn't need that kind of thing to build a happy family, but now she knows that even if she doesn't have that thing, she can maintain a stable and happy marriage and family, but it will be discounted after all.

When she finally realized what kind of person she could get with that kind of thing, it was no longer morally permissible for her to do so.

Liu Yiyuan smiled bitterly in her heart.

Li Tingyu was a smart person, and he somewhat understood what Liu Yiyuan meant, so he took his eyes off her and looked out the window at the courtyard.

The chrysanthemums, osmanthus and wood hibiscus in the courtyard are in full bloom, and the rich fragrance of flowers comes to the nose, which makes Li Tingyu a little fascinated/drunk.

"What books have you been reading lately?" Li Tingyu asked softly.

"During this time, I was watching "Zizhi Tongjian" and "Stone". Liu Yiyuan replied softly.

Zizhi Tongjian is a chronicle of history, and Shi Tong is a monograph on historical theory.

Li Tingyu has been interested in historical reading materials, and has been familiar with them since childhood, and when he learned that Liu Yiyuan also likes to read this kind of books, he couldn't help but be happy, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to like to read this kind of book." ”

"As the old saying goes: Reading history can make people wise, and learning from the past can make the future known, but I am dull and stupid by nature, so I have to borrow a little more wisdom from the ancients." Liu Yiyuan smiled.

Li Tingyu nodded.

He really wanted to talk to her about the two books, but in the end he held back because he thought about each other's seniority.

Li Tingyu drank all the tea in the cup, got up and said, "I'll go back first." ”

Liu Yiyuan hurriedly got up to send him off.

"You don't have to send it, you can go with your business." Li Tingyu hurriedly stopped.

Liu Yiyuan stood in place, watching his back leave.

Li He and his friends came back late from the party.

Because he was drunk, he went home and fell asleep.

When he woke up the next day, before it was dark, Li He turned his head to look at Liu Yiyuan, who was lying beside him, sleeping.

Liu Yiyuan, who was sleeping soundly, had a different kind of charm on her face, which made Li He feel a little moved when she looked at it.

Li He stretched out his hand and pulled Liu Yiyuan towards his body.

Liu Yiyuan woke up immediately.

"Why did you wake up so early?" Liu Yiyuan looked at him and asked.

"I was drunk last night, and I didn't ...... you when I came back," Li He said, reaching for her belt.

Liu Yiyuan hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop: "You better sleep a little longer." We've got a long time together, not just this night. ”

Li He thought about it and nodded with a smile.

He was indeed a little tired.

But he was afraid that she was dissatisfied.

Seeing that she was so considerate of him, he didn't say anything more, closed his eyes and continued to sleep.

This sleep went straight to the fourth watch.

Liu Yiyuan had already gone to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for him.

Li He got up in his clothes.

Qiuyun, the maid who was waiting outside, hurried in to freshen up for him.

"What was happening at Madame Yesterday?" Li He asked Qiuyun.

Qiuyun replied in a low voice: "Uncle Hui, your uncle has been here." ”

Li He suddenly frowned and hurriedly asked, "What is he doing here?" ”

"He thought you would leave the office early yesterday, so he came to chat with you."

"When he saw that I wasn't at home, did he leave immediately?"

"Madame left him a few cups of tea."

Li He's face suddenly looked a little unpleasant, and he asked in a muffled voice, "Did they say anything?" ”

"They talked about two history books, the titles of which I don't remember much. After a while, your uncle took his leave. (To be continued.) )

PS: Dear friends, the second shift is coming. It's the end of the month, so I really want a monthly pass.
