Since the parties concerned are absent-minded, if she forcibly keeps someone here, it will be a bit excessive, yes, Bai Yulan replied decisively: "Liu An, didn't they say that they are preparing to cook hot pot now, let's go back early, let's go back to eat hot pot first." ”

Qi Lianyu came back to his senses and nodded slowly, he didn't say anything along the way, thinking about something.

Along the way, the atmosphere was overly dreary.

Even if Bai Yulan wanted to find something to pass the time, it seemed to have become a difficulty, and for a long time, before he was about to walk into the door of the mansion, Qi Lianyu's footsteps suddenly stopped.

She had already taken three steps forward, and when she saw that the person behind her couldn't keep up, she fell back and looked at him, looking a little hesitant.

"I'll go back to my room first and find out what's in this bottle." Qi Lianyu said slowly, it didn't seem that he planned to ask for her consent, he just came to tell her.

He was taking a step forward, and Bai Yulan grabbed his silver long sleeves, and the silky fabric was touched in her hand, and she suddenly thought that when Qi Lianyu came out today, he even changed his clothes.

If it was Liu An who prepared it, she didn't believe it, after all, Qi Lianyu came here, even if it was her, she didn't expect it at the beginning.

He does not usually wear silver robes with gold lace like his subordinates, but is a maverick, and usually goes out in casual clothes, only a simple dark color robe.

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt that the so-called peddler he had seen today would not be a simple person.

"What do you want to say to me?" Qi Lianyu didn't tear Bai Yulan's hand that grabbed his sleeve in time, but stopped and asked her seriously.

"Why not?"

Qi Lianyu seemed to want to turn his head and talk to Bai Yulan face to face, however, because of the hand that grabbed his sleeve and the fact that he might have some resistance in his heart, he didn't answer.

Maybe when you look back, you can see his mood clearly.

"I'm just going to be busy with my business, and now that the token is lost, I'm going to stay with you and that Wanrou for so long." After a pause, his tone was quite uplifting, but it became more and more aggressive.

"Now you have to come and continue to pester me, it's a little unreasonable."

Although this man's voice is smooth and steady, and his body is straight, there is no indication of his state.

However, Bai Yulan still didn't let go of him, and Qi Lianyu didn't have the slightest intention of breaking free.

"It's not that you're unreasonable, it's that you don't want to listen to me be reasonable." Bai Yulan said with a serious expression on the side: "Are you unwilling to eat this hot pot?" You just don't like this kind of crowded place, especially when you eat with so many people, you will feel very awkward and make you feel uncomfortable? ”

Several rhetorical questions in a row, but they poked Qi Lianyu's body every sentence, not only that, but he was even a little depressed, but he didn't know where to vent.

It's like a secret that has been buried in my heart for many years has been read out so frankly.

It's inexplicably embarrassing.

"I didn't." He retorted.

However, despite such a light rebuttal, in front of Bai Yulan, there was still no lethality, she wondered, is it because Qi Lianyu always seems to be very easy to get along with now, and rarely irritable, so that she now dares to catch lice on the tiger's head.

However, Qi Lianyu's resistance had no effect, and just half an hour later, Qi Lianyu came to the place where Liu An was going to cook hot pot.

He is not like most other officials, who see the noble and the lowly very clearly.

For him, everything seems to be in between, in a gray tone.

There is no absolute justice, and naturally there are no absolute wicked people.

On weekdays, maybe because of what kind of meal to eat, the servants and maids, etc., are not able to go to the table, but now there are people here, everyone is around in front of a big pot, the red soup in the pot is boiling, squeaking and squeaking, and the surface of the red oil is even bubbling, especially boiling.

There are a lot of condiments sprinkled on it, and even some of the condiments can float on their own, and then there are many dishes around the bottom of this huge round pot, and it is difficult to count the many dishes just by scanning.

Both soldiers and servants were able to gather around the table in this chapter, and the scene was very lively for a while.

Qi Lianyu stood aside, looking at such a scene, his first reaction turned out to be a little overwhelmed, he is also used to holding banquets and inviting guests on weekdays, and he often sings and dances in the mansion, but he has always been alone on the high platform, or far away from the rest of the people, and does not enjoy with others.

Now it was unexpectedly for him to come to a banquet so closely.

Bai Yulan saw his concerns, pushed him with her elbow, and said, "What are you doing so nervous?" ”

"I, I'm not nervous, I've seen a lot of big things in this seat, will I be nervous because of such a small thing?"

Seeing that he spoke like this, he replied as if he were not drafted, but the slightly unnatural stiff figure betrayed him completely.

Bai Yulan didn't poke him in front of him, but pushed him to sit down on the chair next to him, and when he saw that those people were already ready to eat, he also laid a few dishes for him, and said, "I won't give you the duck intestines, and you can eat it after you put it in the pot for a while." ”

When Qi Lianyu was still a little stunned, Bai Yulan had already scooped up a few dishes for him and put them in his bowl.

"If you put it in the pot for too long, it won't taste very good." She explained.

Although some people don't know them, they can shake out the fact that they are the new guests of honor in the mansion with just a few words.

Hearing the people around her talking about some of the little things in the family, Bai Yulan felt very comfortable, like everyone in a big family gathered together to confide in each other about what had happened recently.

"White Lady." Liu An didn't know when, but he also came over, and saw Bai Yulan take the lead in greeting her, and said, "I just went to ask the gatekeeper, but I didn't know the news that you have returned, otherwise I must have added more dishes here to make the number of people smaller." ”

"And now there are too many people here, it must also affect Madame Bai's mood for dinner." Liu An said with a smile.

When he saw them today, he was wearing a dark robe, but now it was an indigo robe, a little untidy, and there was a small mark on his neck.

"It's okay, it's very pyrotechnic, and it has a different flavor." After that, she urged Liu Andao: "You might as well go and talk to the others, they should have been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Liu An nodded and said goodbye, and chatted with his other subordinates.

She was a little bored, and she didn't feel very comfortable eating hot pot.

On the other hand, Qi Lianyu beside him, from the disgust and surprise when he came in at the beginning, to the calmness and ease of the future, and the cheerful eating now.

Qi Lianyu can be said to have learned everything, his movements are smooth, and he looks like a veteran with chopsticks one chopstick after another.

"Why don't you eat it?" Seeing that Bai Yulan didn't move a single chopstick, Qi Lianyu couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and frowned: "Could it be because I saw Liu An just now, and I was a little dissatisfied?" ”

Seeing Bai Yulan's expression, she didn't say anything for a long time, thinking that he had guessed it.

"What are you so concerned about?" He put down the bowl, scalded the vegetables with one hand, sorted out the dipping dishes with the other, and said leisurely: "Ye Mingting's thousands of subordinates, are you so worried about each one, are you worried about coming?" ”

"Didn't you take a fancy to them, what are you doing so attentively?" He asked rhetorically, but it made Bai Yulan feel that what he said was untenable.

Also, she really eats radishes salty and worries lightly.

Qi Lianyu said, took another sip, and his face was dyed a little red by the hot pot and the spicy taste, Bai Yulan glanced at him, and said with a smile: "Your eating appearance today is very different from usual, I have to think that I didn't recognize the wrong person." ”

When Qi Lianyu sits alone on the high platform on weekdays, he always eats with a gentleman's courtesy.

Although he looks like that, he can easily kill a person directly with cruel means in private.

However, he still maintained this excellent etiquette, even against the enemy, and it was a complete fusion of these two extreme personalities.

"Naturally, I want to be happy with the people, and if I am alone and stand out in a crowd, it doesn't seem to be in line with your original purpose of bringing me here."

"In the early years, when I was a teenager, my father sent me to go undercover many times to deal with the enemy, and I have become accustomed to what kind of emotions I will show in a certain mode." When Qi Lianyu said this, his tone was light, as if he didn't care about anything.

However, in Bai Yulan's ears, she could feel the suffering that had happened to him at the beginning.

After all, he personally united with his uncle and gave his father to the Fa on the spot.

"But you don't look like you're with the people the way you are now, just to integrate with them." Bai Yulan said slowly.

She looked at him playfully, with a bit of a joking.

Qi Lianyu was choked, but he didn't refute it, and he didn't show any signs of anger.

Bai Yulan was about to say a few more words, when she saw the figure of a man in a dark robe appear at the door, walking towards them, and on the other side, a group of people who were eating hot pot suddenly became noisy.

Among them, she heard a voice that stood out from the voices of these people: "Lord Liu has fainted!" ”

Bai Yulan glanced over in surprise, it was already surrounded by Liu An's subordinates, thinking that he wanted to help people up, and the people around him were surrounded by water, and the man in Xuanyi who strode over was Ye Mingting, who was running for the token today.
