In late summer, the house was still a little stuffy.

Li Jing'er held a round fan in her hand and shook it lightly a few times, her expression thoughtful.

After a moment, he slowly raised his eyes and looked over: "Well, I'...... I don't really want to get married yet. ”

Qin Ran was stunned.

She was worried about this problem when she heard that Lord Xiangguo was going to hold a martial arts competition for Li Jing'er, but at that time, Li Jing'er herself said that it was good to recruit relatives by martial arts, and she did not reject martial arts competitions.

"Did something happen?" Qin Ran looked at her curiously, "Why did you suddenly say that you don't want to get married?" ”

"I ......" The fan in Li Jing'er's hand paused for a moment, and a somewhat complicated look appeared in her eyes: "After talking to you that day, when I came back, I carefully recalled what you said, which is actually not unreasonable." ”

Qin Ran was stunned, and recalled in her mind what she had said to Li Jing'er before.

What did she say? How a little forgot.

Forget it, that's not the point.

"Let's not talk about this for now, I came to you to ask you something else." Qin Ran's thoughts wandered back, and he grabbed Li Jing'er with one hand and squeezed it gently.

The expression was very serious: "Jing'er, tell me the truth, do you already have someone you like in your heart?" ”

She had asked this question before, but Li Jing'er denied it.

Qin Ran thought about it carefully, in the few meetings and chats with Li Jing'er, she would often inquire about her family's affairs openly and secretly, she didn't care about it at the time, but now it seems that what she actually wants to ask is the news of her eldest brother Qin Xiu, right?

But these are just her guesses, and if you want to be confirmed, she has to admit it herself.

Li Jing'er's palm wrapped in Qin Ran moved slightly, her eyes raised, and she hesitated: "I'...... I don't know how to say it. ”

"Okay, why don't I ask and you answer?" Qin Ran raised his eyebrows.

Li Jing'er nodded slowly: "Hmm." ”

Qin Ran breathed a sigh of relief, brushed down his thoughts a little, and asked bluntly, "Do you like my eldest brother?" ”

Li Jing'er's expression froze for a moment, and she withdrew her hand from her palm: "Why do you ask that?" ”

"I guess." Seeing her reaction, Qin Ran basically felt that her guess was true, "You answer me honestly, do you like my eldest brother Qin Xiu?" ”

Li Jing'er first met Qin Xiu seven years ago, when she was only ten years old, which was the age of naughty and noisy.

That day, her father was going to visit the General's Mansion, and when she heard about it, she clamored to go with her, but she didn't expect to go and find out that there were three older brothers in the General's Mansion who were slightly older than her.

The one she remembers the most is Qin Hao, this person is really super naughty, not to mention bullying her, even with his dog wants to bully her.

She remembered that day she was chased by a big black dog raised by Qin Hao and hid in a rockery cave in the garden, and she didn't dare to come out for a long time. She was really scared.

I don't know how long I cried, but finally someone found her missing, and went to the garden to find her.

To this day, she still clearly remembers the scene when Qin Xiu was squatting outside the stone cave, stretching out a hand towards her, with a gentle smile on his face.

He said: "Li Jing'er, don't be afraid, the black dog has been driven away by me." Give me your hand and I'll pull you out. ”
