After entering the silent courtyard, as he got closer and closer to the room with the faint candlelight, Ding Li's steps became slower and slower, and as he lifted up again and again, he felt that the falling steps were gradually becoming heavier, and even made Ding Li wonder if he would leave a dent on the sole of his shoes on the ground if he stepped on one foot.

The upcoming meeting is not the first time that Ding Li has met Liu Sheng and Zhang Yurou at the same time, but the last time was in Fuxu Port, with the critical situation at that time, whether it was Ding Li, Liu Sheng, or Zhang Yurou, no one would pay much attention to the relationship between the three.

But now it is different, the crisis in front of them has been lifted, even if it is temporarily lifted, Ding Li and the two women who have been respite will undoubtedly think more about the relationship between each other, especially Zhang Yurou, who has a very clear mind.

Liu Sheng on the bed in the room has been awake for a while, but the whole person is extremely weak, and even a word looks extremely difficult, although Zhang Yurou takes care of Liu Sheng carefully, and even drinks medicine for Liu Sheng in person regardless of his identity, but Liu Sheng is not a fool. Although his body was weak, his brain was extremely clear, and his mind kept coming up with Zhang Yurou's tender gaze when he looked at Ding Li in Fuxu Port, and he recalled Ding Li's strange expression that was not fully revealed but could not be completely concealed at that time.

When being fed the medicine, Liu Sheng also deliberately mentioned Ding Li to Zhang Yurou, under Liu Sheng's burning eyes full of worry but love, Zhang Yurou could not completely hide his thoughts, although Zhang Yurou later successfully diverted Liu Sheng's attention, but this also aggravated the doubts in Liu Sheng's heart, or confirmed the conjecture in Liu Sheng's heart from the side.

Fortunately, Liu Sheng himself is still a rare sense of reason, especially after hearing several doctors say that he has been pregnant for more than a month, coupled with the repeated begging advice of the doctors, Liu Sheng also tried his best to restrain his emotions, but Liu Sheng's heart was extremely uncomfortable, and the tears of grievance could only be gritted and puffed in the eye sockets, and the bitter water in his heart was even more suffocated in his stomach before seeing Ding Li.

The atmosphere in the room was very depressing, especially for Zhang Yurou, it was like a boulder being pressed on her chest, and it was extremely difficult to even take a full breath. Since childhood, Zhang Yurou felt a strong threat for the first time, compared to Liu Sheng, who was pregnant with Ding Li's flesh and blood on the bed, Zhang Yurou knew that she had no advantage.

completely on his side and even swore to support his own brother Zhang Mingzhi to flee to sea, with Zhang Yurou's understanding, although his father Zhang Kuang expressed to him not long ago that he was a little compromised, but after all, it was just an ambiguous comfort. And the most important thing is that Zhang Yurou can't figure out what kind of thoughts Ding Li has about herself, especially when Liu Sheng is pregnant now, Zhang Yurou can't imagine what kind of choice the affectionate Ding Li will make, or rather, she doesn't dare to think about it at all.

The atmosphere in the room was too depressing, so oppressive that people couldn't breathe normally, Zhang Yurou couldn't bear this torture anymore, and whispered to Liu Sheng, who was on the bed with shining teary eyes, that after going out to breathe, she ran away and rushed out of the door with broken steps.

When Zhang Yurou closed the door gently, turned around and raised her eyes to look at the full moon in the sky, she was startled by Ding Li who suddenly appeared in front of her, the whole person trembled, covered her chest with one hand, and gasped for breath with palpitations, and in an instant, her gaze at Ding Li became extremely complicated.

"Soft, soft." Ding Li, who was already distracted, didn't expect Zhang Yurou to come out of the room suddenly, although he was not as startled as Zhang Yurou, but he was also taken aback, and just as he was about to speak, he remembered his previous promise to Zhang Yurou, and immediately swallowed back the words that had been opened and changed his mouth, and then Ding Li looked at Zhang Yurou with complicated eyes, and after a pause, he said without words: "You are tired enough, let's go back and rest first!" Sheng'er's side.,Let me take care of it.。。 ”

The original natural sentence was very unconfident after it came out of Ding Li's mouth, and the tone was getting lower and lower, and even the most charming confident eyes were removed from Zhang Yurou.

"Ziyi, I want to ask you a word!" Hearing this, Zhang Yurou was stunned for a moment, and she nodded when she came back to her senses, but did not leave immediately, but threw a burning look at Ding Li, and the tone of her voice did not allow anyone to refuse.

Seeing this, Ding Li was helpless, even if he could enter the room to see Liu Sheng through Zhang Yurou, Ding Li still couldn't move his footsteps at all, because for Zhang Yurou in front of him, Ding Li thought that he also had a responsibility, although it was completely insignificant compared to the responsibility to Liu Sheng, but Ding Li couldn't ignore it.

After all, no matter how big or small, it is a responsibility, a responsibility that should be borne by him.

"Good!" Zhang Yurou nodded slightly, and when she looked at Ding Li, her gaze suddenly appeared with infinite firmness, and her tone when she spoke again was even a little aggressive: "Ziyi, do you love me?" ”

"Boom!"

Again, Ding Li's head seemed to have been hit by a bomb, after a short explosion, his mind was blank, Ding Li's whole person was stunned, there was no shock or surprise on his tired but equally resolute face, but a wooden one, and his eyes were like a pool of stagnant water, without any fluctuations.

"I mean, do you love me?" Seeing this, Zhang Yurou, who paused for a moment, spoke again, her tone was more firm than before, and even a little decisive, and she stared at Ding Li with her eyes like a torch, and added clearly word by word: "I love you, I am willing to marry you!" Even if you already have Liu Sheng, even if I can't be your wife but just a concubine! Did you hear me clearly? ”

Hearing this, Ding Li's whole person was obviously shocked, and he stayed in place in a daze and looked at Zhang Yurou with a serious expression in front of him, Ding Li knew that the other party was not joking with him, but Ding Li also knew that if he opened his mouth, it would not be a joke. But if he spoke, Ding Li didn't know what kind of words to use to answer Zhang Yurou's question.

If he refused, Ding Li suddenly felt a heartache just when this thought appeared in his mind, and he didn't know or could not estimate Zhang Yurou's position in his heart. If he agreed, Ding Li would also not be able to open his mouth, and Liu Sheng, who was only one door away, was still pregnant and sick in bed, and Ding Li could not do it anyway without taking into account Liu Sheng's feelings.

It's not that Ding Li is lustful and abusive, but that Liu Sheng and Zhang Yurou give him completely different feelings. For Ding Li, Liu Sheng is the only relative he has in this world, and it is also one of the 'innate' responsibilities on his shoulders, and it is the most important responsibility. And Zhang Yurou is the woman that Ding Li has had the most contact with alone after coming to this world, except for Liu Sheng, and in Zhang Yurou, Ding Li feels more people who should not belong to this era.

Zhang Yurou's strength, autonomy, and even persistence, as a woman, are extremely rare in this era. But Ding Li didn't belong to this world in the first place, in the original world, a woman with a character like Zhang Yurou was the mainstream crowd, and even Ding Li sometimes wondered secretly, perhaps it was because of the difference between Zhang Yurou and women in this era that Ding Li was so fascinated and deeply attracted by the other party.

"Yurou, I don't think now is the time to talk about this." Ding Li, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, but with a response, Ding Li slowly lowered his head, and his weak eyes also glanced at the moonlight on the ground on the side, and his tone was also very weak: "Now what I am thinking about should be more Sheng'er, as well as the child in her belly. ”

Hearing this, even though Zhang Yurou had expected Ding Li to answer like this, it was still difficult to hide the loneliness that appeared in the depths of her eyes, but Zhang Yurou was not an ordinary person, while nodding slightly, she actually raised her eyes and smiled at Ding Li, and said softly: "Ziyi, I will wait for you!" I'll keep waiting! ”

After that, the smile on the corner of Zhang Yurou's mouth grew, and for a while, even Ding Li in his eyes was a little stupid, and the smile in his eyes was like the scorching sun in the cold winter, which dispelled all the coldness, and even dispelled most of the scruples in Ding Li's heart. It's just that when Zhang Yurou turned around, Ding Li clearly saw the deep helplessness and bitterness in the other party's eyes and the smile on the corner of his mouth, and even the loneliness and disappointment that could not be concealed at all.

Zhang Yurou turned around and left, leaving almost quietly, leaving only the promise that made Ding Li feel bittersweet. Under the faint moonlight, Zhang Yurou's lonely figure is like a fairy in the Moon Palace, which makes people feel a cold chill unconsciously rising, but it also makes people feel an extremely contradictory warmth.

The courtyard is not big, Zhang Yurou's figure quickly disappeared under the moonlight, and she instantly broke away from Ding Li's sight through the courtyard gate, and disappeared in the night in the blink of an eye, leaving Ding Li with only the promise that seemed to linger in his ears, and the lingering fragrance that rushed into his nose from time to time.

"Hey!" After a long time, Ding Li sighed deeply, turned his head and looked up at the hazy crescent moon in the sky, and his heart was full of thoughts, although there was only one door behind him, but for Ding Li, it was completely like two worlds, one was his dear Liu Sheng, and the other was another part of Ding Li's heart that could not be separated, and the weight of the two was immeasurable even Ding Li.

On the bed in the room, Liu Sheng, who was lying flat, listened to Zhang Yurou's words outside the door word for word in his ears, and the tears in his eyes were already uncontrollable, like a flood that opened the floodgates, allowing the hot tears to flow down the corners of his eyes and wet the pillow.

The door was gently opened, but Liu Sheng, who heard the sound, did not move at all, but the whole person trembled more and more violently, and the tears in her beautiful eyes could not be suppressed, and she even couldn't restrain herself from letting out a low whimper.

Ding Li's answer outside the door just now was too low because his tone was too low, and Liu Sheng didn't even hear a word, but it was precisely because of this that Liu Sheng felt more aggrieved, and at the same time, he was deeply aware that Ding Li had changed, and he was no longer the Ding Li who used to work as a coolie on the dock, saving money on weekdays, but buying himself a cheap jewelry or two from time to time, and spending a dinner with him.
