Although Yan Qingruo doesn't hate going around in circles, she really doesn't like going around in circles emotionally.

Li Shaolin obviously understood, and said with some regret: "Okay, if you don't go around, you won't go around." He looked at the sky and thought for a while, "Then why don't we talk about things related to Yan Zhixin again?" ”

Yan Qingruo: "......"

She didn't speak, and she acquiesced. This time, though, he was serious. After all, even if Yan Qingruo didn't like him, he really wanted to help Yan Qingruo.

"Shaolin, I know you want to help me, but I really want to solve this matter myself."

Listening to the words raised by Li Shaolin on the other end of the phone, Yan Qingruo frowned at first, and lowered her head and her eyes were already a little resistant. After Li Shaolin finished speaking, she raised her head again, her eyes were full of determination, and she said word by word to Li Shaolin on the other end of the phone.

On the other end of the phone, Li Shaolin's hand holding the phone tightened, and his thin lips pursed slightly. In fact, for Yan Qingruo's refusal, he was both surprised and expected.

I have known Yan Qingruo for so long, he has always known her temperament very well, although sometimes it seems that she doesn't care so much about many things, but Li Shaolin knows in his heart that in fact, Yan Qingruo has always had her own principles.

"But you know, if I help you, whether it's the matter of the Frozen Scepter or the matter of Yan Zhixin, I can solve it well, and you can ...... it"

"Shaolin, I know what you said, but I really don't need to, I want to deal with these things myself, can you understand?"

Just when Li Shaolin wanted to try to persuade Yan Qingruo again, he was interrupted by Yan Qingruo again, and her attitude was very firm.

Since Yan Qingruo said so, Li Shaolin naturally stopped mentioning this topic.

"Well, since you've decided, then I won't say anything more, I respect your decision." Li Shaolin finally decided to give up and handed over the initiative to Yan Qingruo to solve the frozen scepter.

Although Li Shaolin's tone seemed relieved, Yan Qingruo understood that the reason why Li Shaolin wanted to help her solve this matter quickly was that he didn't want her to have too much contact with Chu Mu.

Although she had clarified her relationship with Chu Mu to Li Shaolin before. But Yan Qingruo knew in her heart that for the relationship between her and Chu Mu, Li Shaolin still didn't believe that they were just a simple cooperative relationship.

"Thank you for understanding me." Yan Qingruo was silent for a while, as if she was thinking about what to say, but after holding it for a long time, she just held back such a sentence.

Li Shaolin on the other end of the phone, seeing that Yan Qingruo was silent, thought that she was going to say something else, but she didn't expect that in the end, all she wanted to say was the word "thank you".

Li Shaolin walked to the sofa and smiled self-deprecatingly, with loss clearly written in his eyes.

"What are you doing with me so politely?" Although Li Shaolin was disappointed, he still tried to maintain a normal tone in his tone, and did not show his loss.

After saying this, before Yan Qingruo could speak, Li Shaolin seemed to suddenly think of something, and then said: "By the way, since you don't want me to help you get the ice scepter back from Chu Mu's hand, then I'll help you take care of Nuo Nuo." ”

Yan Qingruo habitually wanted to refuse, but she thought that she would indeed be busy during this time, and Yan Zhixin was an unscrupulous person.

It is much safer to let Yan Nuonuo follow him than to let him follow Li Shaolin.

Thinking of this, Yan Qingruo hesitated slightly, and quickly agreed.

"Okay, but in this case, I'm going to trouble you, and during this time, Nuonuo will be handed over to you." What Yan Qingruo had experienced before caused her to refuse to trust anyone for a while.

Even though she has tried hard to open her heart over the years, she still habitually maintains a sense of distance from others.

This is also the reason why Li Shaolin has always felt that he has never been able to see through Yan Qingruo's heart.

If a person refuses to let others into her heart, then no matter what efforts others make, it will always be useless.

"I said, don't be so polite to me, or I'll be really angry." Li Shaolin only felt that he had said such things countless times, but Yan Qingruo seemed to have never remembered it, as long as he did something for her, Yan Qingruo would always keep thanking her.

This strangeness made him feel very uncomfortable in his heart.

Hearing Li Shaolin's half-joking, half-serious tone, Yan Qingruo was stunned, her fingertips trembled slightly, and her long and curly eyelashes projected a shadow triangle under her eyes because of the light, covering her expression and making it impossible to figure out what she was thinking.

"Okay."

After a long time, Yan Qingruo replied softly.

Although Li Shaolin had no way of knowing Yan Qingruo's expression over the phone, it was not the first time they had talked about this topic, so even if he couldn't see it, he could imagine what kind of expression she was looking at this time.

After hanging up the phone, Yan Qingruo put the phone aside, picked up a glass of water in front of her, took a sip of water, and put the cup back on the table.

Watching the water in the cup ripple in circles because of her shaking, Yan Qingruo was rarely a little distracted.

Most of the time, she is a person with a clear purpose, so there are few times when she is confused. But now, the delicate relationship between her, Chu Mu and Li Shaolin made her feel very uncomfortable.

Li Shaolin has helped her a lot over the years, so she doesn't want to hurt him.

In her cognition, she clearly told Li Shaolin that it was impossible for the two of them, which was why she thought that the best attitude towards Li Shaolin was to oppose him.

But I don't know why, it seems that she said these words and didn't work.

Every time Li Shaolin helped her, she would feel that she owed him a point again.

She Yan Qingruo never likes to owe others, but she is independent and rarely presence, she really owes a lot.

If Li Shaolin helped her get back the frozen scepter from Chu Mu's hand and successfully solved Yan Zhixin's matter, then Li Shaolin's affection for her would really not be able to change it for the rest of her life.

This is the reason why even when Li Shaolin proposed to help her many times this time, she refused them all.

Thinking of this, Yan Qingruo pressed her temples with her hand, her expression suddenly became a little irritable, she got up, and returned to her room.

In the next few days, Li Shaolin was like what he promised Yan Qingruo, and went to pick up Yan Nuonuo from school every day.

Yan Nuonuo didn't think it was anything at first, after all, when his mother had something to do before, he also went to pick him up from school. But for several days, it was Li Shaolin who went to pick him up, and Yan Nuonuo quickly noticed that something was wrong.

"Uncle Li, why have you been picking me up these days, Mom?" Yan Nuonuo put all the books on the desk into her schoolbag, frowned slightly, and asked suspiciously.

Li Shaolin knew that Yan Nuonuo was very smart, so he didn't think about hiding this little guy about this matter.

"Mom has other things to deal with recently, so you'll stay at Uncle Li's house first, okay?" Li Shaolin squatted down, so that he could just be at eye level with Yan Nuonuo.

Hearing Li Shaolin say this, Yan Nuonuo first blinked, then thought for a while, and finally nodded a little hesitantly.

"Okay, I got it." Yan Nuonuo has been a very sensible child since he was a child, and he is also very independent. After hearing Li Shaolin say the reason, Yan Nuonuo didn't continue to ask.

Because he understands that since his mother temporarily asked Li Shaolin to take care of himself, it must be because he was really too busy to take care of him, so he did this.

Li Shaolin touched Yan Nuonuo's head, then hugged him into the car, and said to him: "Okay, in order to reward Nuonuo for being so well-behaved, uncle will take you to eat delicious food today!" ”

"Good!"

Although Yan Nuonuo usually looks much older than children of the same age, he is still just a child after all, and it is the nature of children to be delicious.

So when he heard Li Shaolin say that he was going to take him to eat delicious food, Yan Nuonuo's face rarely faded from old age, and showed a smile that matched his age.

"It's here, Nuonuo, get off." After arriving at the destination, Li Shaolin parked the car, opened the door of Yan Nuonuo, and let the little guy get out of the car.

The little guy probably hasn't come out to eat for a long time, and this time Li Shaolin took him out to eat, and he was extremely happy.

"Glutinous?"

Just as Li Shaolin and Yan Nuonuo were about to go in to eat, a voice sounded from behind them.

Hearing this voice, Li Shaolin was slightly stunned, and his expression, which was still smiling, changed suddenly.

Chu Mu? How did he end up here?

Li Shaolin almost habitually protected Yan Nuonuo behind him, and his eyes when he looked at Chu Mu were also full of hostility.

After what happened last time, Li Shaolin had completely regarded Chu Mu as an enemy.

Yan Nuonuo, not only was he not unhappy with Chu Mu's arrival, but on the contrary, when he saw that the person who came was Chu Mu, he also showed a very happy look.

"Nuonuo, it's really you." Chu Mu naturally noticed the unkindness in Li Shaolin's eyes, and also saw his action of protecting Yan Nuonuo behind him.

But for him, Li Shaolin was not much of a threat. Especially after he learned the truth that Yan Nuonuo was not Li Shaolin's child.

"Uncle Chu Mu, why are you here?" Yan Nuonuo smiled happily when she saw Chu Mu.

Looking at the smile on Yan Nuonuo's face, Li Shaolin felt mixed for a while, which was very unpleasant.

It seems that from the first time Yan Nuonuo saw Chu Mu, he liked him very much.

Is this the so-called father-son nature?
