Chapter 17: Li Li's Nightmare
Looking at the fingers that he didn't know how many needles he had, Li Li was depressed and didn't want to do it anymore, so he called outside: "Mama, bring me a bowl of milk soup." ”
didn't get the expected answer, but there was a familiar footstep in his ears, Li Li, who lowered his head, raised his head suddenly, and saw that it was An Yichen, and hurriedly reached out to collect the chaotic table, but he didn't expect that because of her careless tidying, the table would become even worse.
"Big brother, why are you here? Shouldn't you be studying in the academy now? ”
Fifteen-year-old An Yichen is already a teenager, and he doesn't have the terrifying scar of his previous life on his face, and from a distance, as long as he doesn't get close, he is a beautiful young man in anyone's eyes.
But once he gets close to him, he will be burned by the cold air around him, his gaze does not seem to stay on anyone, when looking at people, his eyes are always ethereal and unreal, she once accidentally looked into the depths of his eyes, there is nothing in it, only a thick fog that people can see and touch.
Only what is hidden behind the fog is the emotion that truly belongs to him.
An Yichen casually picked up a crumpled drawing from her desk and was ready to be discarded, and asked lightly, "I heard that you were punished by the scholar in class today?" ”
The young man's voice was a little hoarse, but it didn't sound unpleasant, Li Li subconsciously wanted to get the drawings back, but he didn't dare to reach out to grab it, so he could only stare at his hand in confusion, and responded weakly: "Hmm...... I was accidentally caught by the doctor. ”
What she didn't want to experience more than being punished was the indescribable feeling now, the fear of him had been engraved in her heart, and it hadn't changed much over the years.
"You're not quite arrogant in front of me, why don't you dare to argue for yourself?" An Yichen chuckled, and her deep eyes fell on the top of Li Li's head, she never looked up, so she didn't know what he was looking at.
Li Li flattened his mouth and argued for himself angrily: "How can I be horizontal? ”
As he spoke, without waiting for An Yichen to refute, he was deflated first, his two index fingers stirred each other uneasily, stubbornly lowered his head, and hung his head, as if there was gold on the ground.
An Yichen sighed, rubbed the top of her hair carefully, and didn't even dare to use her voice too hard, even if she didn't see it, she tried to soften her expression: "If you don't want to embroider, I will go and talk to the doctor, if you want to come to this face, she is going to sell it to me." ”
Deep helplessness swept over An Yichen, when did he care about the rest of the An family as if he cared about Li Li, even her own sister An Nuo had never bothered him so much.
However, his kindness also made the parties as snakes and rats and couldn't avoid it.
"No need big brother." Li Li shook her head, she didn't know who she was stubborn in this regard, she paused and felt that her tone was too blunt, and then explained: "Godmother said that I am responsible for the wrong things I have done, and since I am distracted, I should be punished." ”
"A little liar full of lies."
Li Li's fingers tightened unnaturally and instantly, and even her breathing became cautious, thinking that her fear of him would fade in time until it disappeared, but she didn't expect that the fear not only did not disappear, but increased day by day.
On top of that, even she didn't know what she was afraid of. Unable to find the root cause, she could only let this emotion develop and breed.
An Yichen's gaze has been glued to Li Li's body, and his eyes are complicated and difficult to see.
It contains hesitation, distress, pain...... There is no outlet for many emotions, and she is a turtle with a shrunken head, and she will hide herself at the slightest abnormality.
This situation was harder to fight than any battle in his previous life.
An Yichen didn't seem to notice her resistance, and sat with her for a while, and after he left, Li Li found that there was another bottle of jade skin cream on the table.
At this time, Mama Li came in with a freshly made milk soup, and at a glance she saw the things on the table, and her eyebrows and eyes were full of joy: "Fifth girl, the eldest young master is here again?" ”
Li Li nodded vaguely, and even the sweet taste of his favorite milk soup was gone.
Anyway, she could only see An Yichen completely clearly, and all the things about him were completely different from those in her previous life, which made her feel flustered.
But she can't tell anyone about this uneasiness, so she can only hide it deep in her heart and taste it alone. Over time, uneasiness became an obsession for her to refuse his approach.
"Alas, the eldest young master has sent so many jade skin creams, and I don't see when you use it, Fifth Girl, you have a whole cabinet." Opening the locker, under the pretext of putting things, Mama Li turned her hand, and the plaster that should have been put in the cabinet entered her sleeve.
With one hand supporting his head, Li Li ate the milk soup without a mouthful, and I don't know if I heard Mama Li's words.
After finishing what should be done, Mama Li stood quietly aside and waited to clean up, raised her head and looked at Li Li cautiously, as she imagined, the five girls did not pay attention to her every move.
At night, on the branches of the moon, Li Li was about to fall asleep, Hua Xiang poured a cup of hot boiling water and put it aside for later use, the door creaked, and Cha Xiang walked in.
The drowsy Li Li was woken up by this voice, tried his best to dispel the sleepiness, opened his eyes wide to look at the fragrance of tea, and asked her, "Have you heard anything, why is the doctor so wrong today?" ”
Cha Xiang took a few breaths, and couldn't say a word for a long time, Li Li saw this and hurriedly asked Hua Xiang to pour a cup of cold tea for Cha Xiang, while stroking her back: "Don't worry, let's talk about it after drinking." ”
Cha Xiang was not polite, she drank the water in the teacup directly, just now she ran all the way back from the main courtyard, and was almost caught by Mama An, fortunately she ran fast.
Thinking about the news she overheard, Cha Xiang immediately said to Li Li: "Fifth girl, the doctor will leave the day after tomorrow!" ”
She also overheard a few maids deserting in the main courtyard, so she brought back a little news from the iron-clad main courtyard.
Li Li stood up from the chair suddenly, and the movement was so large that the boiled water that had not yet cooled in her hand splashed and scattered, and the back of her hand was burned and shivered unconsciously.
Hua Xiang sighed secretly, and was in a hurry, carrying the ice water prepared in the house and pouring it directly on the back of Li Li's hand.
One was hot, the other was so cold that it was numb, Li Li's face was twisted into a ball, but he couldn't hold back and didn't make a sound.
This place was too close to the Listening Book Pavilion, and as soon as she spoke, it was estimated that the person opposite would immediately appear on her face. It was not easy for her to get a little news from Chaxiang, but she couldn't be ruined because of such a small episode.
