"Don't you think it's going too well?" Li Xuan asked.

"Smooth?" I tilted my head and thought for a long time and asked, "Where did it go well?" ”

"Forget it." Li Xuan smiled: "What can you think of with a cat's brain, do you want to eat fish?" ”

"You're laughing at me?" I stomped on him in dissatisfaction.

"Eh! Eh! Li Xuan squatted down in pain.

"Hmph." I tilted my head and said, "Don't pretend, get up." ”

But Li Xuan still squatted on the ground and shouted in pain, did I step on his foot too hard?

I squatted down a little anxiously and asked, "You... You okay? ”

"Is it pretty?" Li Xuan suddenly conjured a wildflower from his hand and handed it to me.

"You liar." I stood up angrily.

"Don't be angry, don't be angry. Just kidding. Li Xuan hurriedly said, "Yan'er, I still want you to help." ”

"What's the matter?" I asked unhappily.

"You say, since we bought this liquor shop, we naturally want to use it, and this will be your secret base in the future, what do you think?"

"That's good." I'm interested.

"That's... You look at the backyard, it's a simple thatched house, after a few days and Li Shaoqing leaves, find someone to renovate it, repair a few more rooms, and plant some flowers and plants, okay? ”

"Well, that's good." I looked at the backyard and said, "The cellar could be converted into a secret room, and it would be better to have an exit to somewhere else, so that nothing goes wrong." ”

Li Xuan looked at me and said, "Yan'er, are you very insecure?" ”

"Why?"

"I found that no matter where you go, you don't consciously look for a way to escape in the first place, and you are afraid of being trapped in one place." Li Xuan looked at me seriously and said.

Are you sure? I thought about it carefully, this Li Xuan's observation was really meticulous, and wherever I went, I would unconsciously think of how to escape when I encountered danger.

Perhaps, this is the sequelae of being trapped in Qingyunguan back then.

"Maybe it's a cat's instinct."

I don't want others to know about this painful experience, and it's not my style to show my weaknesses and wounds.

"Maybe." Li Xuan took my hand and said, "In short, no matter what the reason is, don't worry, Yan'er, I will protect you in the future." ”

I was a little moved, and I was about to say something when the image of my father and mother suddenly appeared in my mind.

My father must have promised his mother the same way, right? That's why his mother followed him desperately, but later... He didn't abandon us and let his people hurt us.

This Li Xuan seems to be in love now, but there is a huge difference between my identity and status with him, and it may be possible to be friends, but others... It's better not to get caught up in it.

So, I quickly shook off his hand and pushed him away.

"How?" Li Xuan was a little puzzled.

"Let's keep this liquor shop in business." I digressed the topic and said, "I think the location here is good, it is very suitable for inquiring about news, and after you fix this place, you will still run this wine shop." ”

"Okay." Li Xuan agreed: "What do you want to give this name?" ”

"Let's call a pot of wine." I looked up at the original signboard.

"It's okay, there is a feeling of happiness."

"What do you need for happiness in a lifetime? Isn't royal power and wealth enough? I said with a smile.

"Don't you know that I've always had a chivalrous dream?" Li Xuan said mysteriously: "My name in the rivers and lakes is called a smile. ”

"A smile? What you said earlier is true? "I couldn't help but be a little stunned.

"Yes, smile, how could I have lied to you?"

Li Xuan and I discussed how to build our secret base better while eating fish, and even thought about what flowers to plant, and then went back happily.

"Good night, Yan'er." Li Xuan stood by the carriage and said to me.

I jumped out of the carriage and climbed over the wall to go back to Liu's house.
