Chapter 5: I'm Her Brother
Gu Li closed her eyes in despair, tears falling down her face.
However, at this critical moment, a loud "boom" suddenly came from outside.
Immediately afterwards, the dog of Sister-in-law Chang's house next door barked, and then the dogs of the whole street barked. The barking of dogs is one after another, and it is deafening.
Gu Li was stunned, completely unaware of what was happening outside.
The man who tried to molest her was also frightened, hurriedly got up from her, jumped over the window and fled.
Gu Li stumbled to her feet, straightened up her messy clothes and hair, lit the lamp, and went out to see what was going on.
Before she went out, she heard the surprised voice of Sister-in-law Chang from the barking of dogs outside.
"Yo, why did this wall collapse?"
"Who are you? How is it at my sister-in-law's house? Her voice was visibly wary, as if she were questioning someone.
"I'm her brother." An elegant, calm voice responded, with a faint smile.
Gu Li walked out of the door with the lamp, and when she walked to the door, she saw Yan Qing's long figure.
Her frightened heart suddenly "chuckled", and for some reason, she suddenly wanted to cry.
He's here again, he's still here.
Yan Qing also saw her and called out to her with a smile: "Ah Li." ”
Gu Li walked over with the lamp, and saw that there were three people standing next to the collapsed wall, in addition to Yan Qing and Sister-in-law Chang, there was also a man, who thought it should be Sister-in-law Chang's husband.
"Sister, is this your brother?" Sister-in-law Chang glanced at Yan Qing and asked Gu Li.
Gu Li also looked at him and saw that he was looking at himself.
There was a faint smile on his jade-like face, and those eyes were deep and unfathomable, as if they could swallow her whole into it.
She smiled at Sister-in-law Chang and nodded.
Sister-in-law Chang dispelled her worries, laughed, and said, "I thought you were living here alone." ”
"He went out early in the morning, and you didn't see him." Gu Li glanced at Yan Qing again.
"I said it", sister-in-law Chang said this, looked down at the collapsed courtyard wall again, and sighed, "There has been a lot of rain in the past two days, and this courtyard wall has collapsed." ”
She touched the man next to her with her elbow: "It just so happens that you are idle tomorrow, let's build it up." ”
"Hey, okay." Chang Fu nodded in agreement.
Gu Li thanked them, and then went back separately.
Yan Qing followed her into the house and stood there, looking at her with a smile.
Gu Li put the oil lamp on the table, looked up at him, and asked, "How did you get in?" ”
"When I saw that the door was not closed, I came in." Yan Qing's face was gentle, as if he didn't know what had just happened.
But his words instantly reminded Gu Li of the thrilling scene before.
She immediately looked away from his face, her eyes full of panic.
When did he come? Did he know everything that had just happened?
Yan Qing suddenly smiled softly and said, "It's a coincidence that I came." ”
His heart thumped, and Gu Li's hands subconsciously tightened the hem of his clothes.
He came by chance and rescued her from disgrace. But at the same time, she also knew about this shameful thing that she didn't want to be known.
Yan Qing took in her panicked and frightened look, smiled again, as if following what she had just said, and said, "I just walked in the door, and the wall just fell." ”
Gu Li raised his eyes to look at him, his face stunned.
He came when the wall fell?
The hooligan also ran when the wall collapsed. So, he didn't know what was going on inside the house?
She stared at him blankly.
Yan Qing's lips opened lightly, and he spit out a softness: "It has rained a lot recently, and the walls have been soaked, don't forget to bring an umbrella when you go out." ”
His voice was soft and soft, like a warm wind, blowing into her heart.
Gu Li instantly relaxed, lowered her eyebrows, smiled at him again, and said sincerely, "Thank you." ”
Whether what he just said was true or not, whether he knew what had just happened to her, she wanted to thank him. He is also the person she knows most in this strange world.
"I have long heard that the peach blossoms in the east of the city are blooming, gorgeous and beautiful." Yan Qing changed the subject, "When I left this morning, I didn't call you when I saw that you hadn't gotten up yet. ”
He was explaining to her why he had left this morning.
Inadvertently, Gu Li's attention was taken away by his words, and his heart relaxed a lot, and he smiled at him.
"Originally, I planned to leave here after watching the peach blossoms." When he said this, he stopped, and his eyes were as deep as the ocean, and there was a flash of warmth in them.
Gu Li frowned slightly, wondering in his heart, and followed his words and asked, "Why didn't you leave again?" ”
"Peach blossoms didn't see it." Yan Qing replied.
"Huh?" Gu Li was surprised.
He got up early in the morning to see the peach blossoms, and it didn't rain all day today, why didn't he see it? Could it be that something unexpected happened that disrupted his plans?
His warm gaze was still on her face, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and a soft smile was outlined: "Because, when I crossed the bridge, I accidentally fell into the river." ”
Gu Li was stunned, and then laughed out loud.
She thought he was going to say something, but she didn't think it was because of that.
He was really unlucky to fall into the river.
Gu Li suddenly felt that she shouldn't laugh at him, so she tried to restrain her smile, raised her eyes to look at him, and asked, "It didn't hurt, did you?" Why don't I show you? I'll do some healing. ”
He saved her, and just now he told her to bring an umbrella when she went out, and she should also show him care.
Yan Qing replied gently: "It's okay, you don't have to." ”
His deep eyes hit her face, and the smile on his lips spread a little more when he looked at her unbearable smile.
For him, the day is darkness, and how can the fall into the river be real?
I said this just to make her smile and relax a little.
After laughing, Gu Li admittedly felt that the distance between him and him was closer, and his demeanor could be more natural, no longer as unfamiliar and restrained as before.
"It's a very beautiful place, so I'm going to stay here and not leave." He added, his elegant, gentle voice echoing in her ears.
Gu Li raised his eyes to look at him, and there was a smile in his bright eyes that had not yet dissipated.
"What do you say? A-Li. He asked her suddenly, his honest gaze and soft voice seemed to be full of bewitchment.
Gu Li looked away from his face and smiled softly. His affectionate name made her unexpectedly a little embarrassed.
He wanted to stay and stay with her for the rest of his life. In this way, I guess I am asking for her opinion, right?
So, should she say yes?
