When Xu Anping returned to the Deng family's mansion, it was already dark, but because he was very worried, Deng Xiaoke still went to the backyard in a hurry. After being informed a few times, he finally met Huan'er.

Huan'er stretched out her arm to stop Xu Anping and said angrily: "Deng Jiu, the eldest lady said that she has slept." Also, you don't want to come here again in the future. ”

Xu Anping didn't care about her, and asked directly: "Huan'er, you also know that the eldest lady is about to get married, right?" ”

"So what?"

"Then you should know who the eldest lady will marry, right?"

Speaking of this, Huan'er snorted even more angrily: "Of course I know." But you're going to die of this heart, the eldest lady said that she won't marry you, so don't be delusional. Tomorrow, the eldest lady will tell the old lady to choose a new husband, who is a hundred times better than you. ”

Xu Anping didn't defend either, because it was useless to talk to her more. "The eldest lady has a misunderstanding about me, and you think that the old lady will change her mind about the things that she has decided with great difficulty? Huan'er, don't forget that you are a maid in the room, and you also like to eat red dates, candied dates, osmanthus cakes, hawthorn cakes, sugar gourds, maltose ......"

Huan'er's face turned red when she heard some baby fat buns, and she couldn't speak, "You... You... Rogue! The eldest lady doesn't want to see you, what can I do. ”

"Then you go and ask me again, there will be countless delicious foods in the future."

Huan'er hesitated for a moment, thinking that Deng Jiu was usually quite good, and the key was to know what she liked to eat, so she said, "Well, then you wait a minute, I'll ask again." After speaking, he hurriedly entered the courtyard, and after a while, he came back with a broken face, and said with a crying voice: "Deng Jiu, the eldest lady doesn't want to see you, and scolded me." You've killed me. Boom ......"

Xu Anping knew that Deng Xiaoke had a deep prejudice against himself this time, and if he couldn't solve it, the two of them would only be strangers in the future. He said gently: "Don't cry Huan'er, I'll buy you osmanthus cake from Wang Ji Shop, Huaihua cake from Lin Ji Shop, and Granny Li's roll meat cake next time." When you go back, remember to say a few more kind words in front of the eldest lady. Back in the room, Xu Anping couldn't sleep when he turned around and turned on the bed, feeling depressed and uncomfortable for a while, and feeling empty for a while. I couldn't help it, he decided to go into the backyard to see if Deng Xiaoke was asleep, and if he had the opportunity, he still had to explain it in person. When he arrived at the gate of the backyard, he repeated his old trick and jumped into the yard lightly by the tree next to the courtyard wall, and sure enough, Xiao Hei came over and arched his calf with his big head. After a while, Xu Anping came to Deng Xiaoke's boudoir, looked carefully but found that there was no one in the house, and listened to the room not far away next to him, where someone seemed to be talking. As soon as he walked over, he heard Deng Xiaoke's slightly hoarse voice from inside the house, which was not as clear as usual at all.

"Come in."

Xu Anping was stunned for a moment, thinking that his exercises had regressed, so he pushed the door directly into the room in a bit of a daze, and then froze.

"Huan'er, come over here and add me some warm water, and bring some petals from the shelf next to you."

Xu Anping stared blankly at the mist-shrouded hair and beautiful back in front of him, the coiled green silk like ink looked like a slender neck, and the smooth back was even more delicate and white under the reflection of the candlelight. It was as if he had seen the most beautiful sculpture that could not be described in words, so he took the petals from the shelf and sprinkled them into the water of the tub as stiffly as wood.

Deng Xiaoke was also distracted, his mind was full of Xu Anping, who was leaning on another woman next to him, unconsciously splashed warm water on his body with his hand, and muttered in his mouth: "Why, why do you lie to me?" You've protected me so many times, isn't it because you like me? But why are you snuggled up to other people? Why......" Thinking of the sadness, her eyes filled with tears again, and she leaned her head back on the tub to try not to let the tears flow. Suddenly, she seemed to see Deng Jiu's concerned and heartbroken eyes, and laughed stupidly for a while, it turned out that this was a sad feeling! At this time, a slightly rough hand caressed her pretty face, and she could even feel the calluses on her knuckles, so real and warm, that she couldn't help but close her eyes. After a while, her eyes suddenly widened and she was terrified, and she suddenly tried to stand up and dodge, but she slipped and fell into the tub because she was so flustered.

Xu Anping saw Deng Xiaoke slip and fall, and was choked by the water because of the panic, so he hurriedly grabbed her arm with his hand and pulled her up and hugged her in his arms.

After Deng Xiaoke struggled a few times and realized that it was useless, he simply closed his eyes and leaned quietly in Xu Anping's arms. After a while, Deng Xiaoke's emotions calmed down and struggled violently, and he lowered his voice and said angrily: "Deng Jiu, let go of me, I'm going to call someone." Let go of me! Thinking of being naked and being held in the arms of a man, Deng Xiaoke was so shy that he was about to faint, even if it was his future husband!

"Don't let go! As soon as I let go, you ignored me. Xu Anping exerted his cheeky internal skills, but he was still reluctant to let go of Deng Xiaoke. An evil thought came to him in his heart: it was quite comfortable to hold like this.

Deng Xiaoke said angrily and funny: "You... You... I'm! You're like this, why don't I ignore you! Loosen it up, Huan'er will come over later. You want me to be shameless! As he spoke, he viciously bit Xu Anping's shoulder.

"Ahh It hurts, it's okay, I'm going to let go. Xu Anping let go of Deng Xiaoke, but a pair of thief eyes still turned around, and he didn't have the consciousness of being rude at all.

Deng Xiaoke watched Xu Anping succumb with some pride, and he was angry just now, and then saw Xu Anping's eyes, and hurriedly folded his hands on his chest and shrank into the bathtub and shouted angrily: "You still see!" Believe it or not, I gouged out your eyeballs? Turn around and get out! She hurriedly got dressed, but she didn't know how to face Xu Anping. I was hating it a moment ago, but now I have to accept my fate, and the change is too fast. But if she hates it now, she can't hate it. At this time, I suddenly thought of finding such a thick-skinned husband, and I didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse. Forget it, that's all there is to it now. Stomping on the jade feet, Deng Xiaoke gritted his teeth and walked out of the room, led Xu Anping to his boudoir, and then asked hatefully: "Say, what is the matter with you coming to me in the middle of the night, don't tell me that you just came to peek at me taking a bath." ”

"Ke'er, it's not what you think."

Deng Xiaoke was still angry when he remembered what happened this afternoon, and said angrily: "Don't call me Ke'er, call me Miss." ”

Xu Anping hurriedly bowed his hand, "Okay, good, eldest miss." Today by my side is Lian'er, she is the daughter of Aunt Yu who has always taken care of me, and she grew up with me......" He told Yi Lian'er in detail, including his previous injury and being taken care of, Father Yu's tragic death, and Aunt Yu's entrustment, who was about to go to the capital to find relatives.

After hearing this, Deng Xiaoke's anger also subsided, but he became a little sympathetic, it turned out that Yi Lian'er's life experience was so miserable. However, when he thought that Deng Jiu had experienced so many things, and these things were all accompanied by Yi Lian'er, his heart was a little sour. So, she secretly made up her mind in her heart that no matter what happened in the future, she would have to bear it with Deng Jiu.

Xu Anping frowned and didn't speak after seeing Deng Xiaoke after listening, and he was worried in his heart, he was really worried that the other party would not be able to accept it and leave him, which he couldn't accept no matter what. Looking at Deng Xiaoke, whose hair was not yet dry, he couldn't help but want to go over and hug and take care of him, it turned out that the carefree and lovely person had to suffer so much because of himself. So, he took two steps forward and reached out to hug Deng Xiaoke, feeling her body stiffen for a moment and then softened again. Xu Anping put his ear to Deng Xiaoke and said, "Ke'er, I will be good to you in the future, and I won't make you sad again." ”

Deng Xiaoke closed his eyes and enjoyed this rare warmth, and said with a sigh of relief: "I want to be a sister." After speaking, there was some astringency in my heart, and two lines of tears flowed down again.

"Huh? Oh. ”
