Shi Jinxiu ordered someone to call Shi Yan over, gave the small stone table in the courtyard to the two of them, and let the maids and ladies in the courtyard wait from a distance, so that people could not see them, but also make people unable to hear what they were saying.

Shi Yan, who first saw Xu Li, felt very embarrassed, and Xu Li was not much better.

The two of them sat stupidly like this, and neither of them spoke first.

After almost half a burnt incense, Xu Li finally opened his mouth first: "Sister Yan, I don't know if I have said something that I shouldn't have said in the past two years, or done something that shouldn't have been, so that you misunderstood me, I, like Shi Nan, have always treated you as a sister!" ”

"Have you always been a sister?" Shi Yan, who didn't know how to speak to Xu Li, blocked her breath in her chest after hearing this, "Am I so bad?" ”

Shi Yan stared at Xu Li with burning eyes.

In her opinion, Xu Li's words and "disdain" mean the same thing.

But looking at it, Shi Yan's eyes were full of tears.

"Sister Xiang'er said that when a person meets someone he likes, he will blush and his heart beat, and when he touches that person, honey water will come out of his heart......" Shi Yan said with tears in her smile, "Actually, I regret it these days, and I shouldn't have troubled you at that time." ”

"My sister also told me that some likes should be kept in your heart, and don't say them rashly." Shi Yan said, the expression on her face became more and more sad, "But I like Brother Xu Li, and I hope you like me, but if you don't like me, it's okay......"

Her voice grew quieter and quieter, until it turned into a soft sob.

She just likes him!

She just liked him!

Why does everyone look like they are facing the enemy?

Father and mother also involved Xu Li's family and said that they were so unbearable.

"No, it's not!" Seeing Shi Yan crying, Xu Li was a little panicked, "It's not that I don't like you!" It's that I'm not worthy of you! You also know that I came from the village, if the squire hadn't given me the opportunity to study, I would have been a farmer all my life, where would I dare to climb a family like you? ”

Then, Xu Li said the words he had said to Shi Jinxiu again.

"So you can see what I mean? Now that I have achieved nothing, I may be beaten back to my original form at any time, and I am really not qualified to talk about this," Xu Li lowered his head.

In the past two years, he has not dared to relax at all.

Because of the failure of the school test two years ago, he almost fell back into the quagmire, and that nightmare feeling haunted him.

With such a he, how can he afford a person like Shi Yan.

What's more, she has a brother-in-law who is the commander of Yulin Wei, and a sister-in-law from Zheng Guogong's mansion in the future, she will definitely be able to meet a better one.

Why do you have to suffer with yourself?

The more Xu Li thought about it, the more lost he became.

But Shi Yan was stunned by the three words "unworthy", where could she still listen to what Xu Li said later.

It turns out that he likes himself too!

Shi Yan's heart was instantly overwhelmed by the sweetness that surged up.

The previous scruples were all left behind by her.

The heart that had been hesitating because of fear settled down in this way.

"How long?" She asked.

"How long will it take?" Xu Li raised his head in confusion.

"I mean, how long will it be until you're getting ahead?" Shi Yan wiped a handful of tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, "Is five years enough?" ”

Xu Li was even more stunned.

Shi Yan's courage is even greater.

"I'll wait for you, five years is not enough, just ten years! Ten years is not enough, twenty years! She supported her body with her hands, and the whole person fell towards Xu Li.

"I ...... I don't deserve it......" Xu Li muttered, "And my uncle and aunt won't agree......"

"It's up to me to decide whether it's worth it or not!" Shi Yan smiled with him, "Or do you have no confidence in yourself at all?" ”

"How can you not be confident!" After all, he was still a teenager, so Xu Li slapped the table and stood up.

"Then let's pull the hook!" Shi Yan stretched out the little finger of her right hand.

Looking at the fingers that were like green onions, Xu Li was a little hesitant.

"What are you waiting for?" Shi Jinxiu, who was paying close attention to the two of them in the house, walked out a little uneasy when he saw them crying and bowing his head, and naturally heard what they said later.

She never expected Shi Yan's courage to be so big, even she, she didn't dare to blatantly say that she liked Yu Wenyan back then.

"Didn't you just say that you also like Sister Yan'er?" Shi Jinxiu said to Xu Li very bluntly, "A manly man, isn't he as good as a woman?" ”

"Let's set such a five-year period," Shi Jinxiu also looked at Shi Yan, "In the past five years, I will help you stop your mother, but after five years, if he has nothing to achieve, we will choose another person to marry!" ”

"How?" Shi Jinxiu's eyes flickered between Shi Yan and Xu Li.

"Five years is five years!" Xu Li finally made up his mind, and hooked Shi Yan's with his little finger, "If I am still the same in five years, it is not worth your waste of youth for me!" ”

"Well, I've talked about it today, and I don't have to feel embarrassed to meet in the future; And from now on, in five years, no one is allowed to mention what happened in the past few days! Can you do it? Shi Jinxiu looked at the two and asked.

Shi Yan and Xu Li nodded at the same time.

"That...... I'm going to go home tomorrow for a while and come back when the list is released. Xu Li seemed to say this to Shi Jinxiu, but Shi Yan heard that he was telling her that he didn't have to hide in his sister's house for him.

So she answered, "I'll go home tomorrow too." ”

Seeing that the relationship between the two was finally not as awkward as before, Shi Jinxiu breathed a sigh of relief, and then told Xu Li: "It's okay to go back and have a look, stay a few more days if you are happy, and come back early if you are not happy." ”

Xu Li nodded and said goodbye first.

After Xu Li left, Shi Jinxiu looked Shi Yan up and down: "Oh, I really didn't think that our family also had a hero!" The gall is fat enough. ”

"I didn't learn it all from you!" Shi Yan winked at Shi Jinxiu, "Don't think I don't know, before you married your brother-in-law, you secretly talked to your brother-in-law!" ”

"Sister Yan! What are you talking about! Shi Jinxiu almost jumped.

Shi Yan grimaced at her and ran away.

On the day of the release of the list, Shigang deliberately got up early in the morning to take a shower and change clothes.

Because Xu Li didn't come back in advance as he said before, he only took Shi Nan to the yamen of the school to see the list.

Heather was ranked thirty-third, and Xu Li was ranked one hundred and eighty-third.

Both of them were admitted to the lifting of people.

Shi Gang was so excited that he kept wiping his eyes with his cuffs: "It's my wish!" It's a wish! ”
