Chapter 18: Look at the Stars

It was getting late, night fell, Pei Ziyu came out of the study to breathe, his expression was solemn, his brows were tightened, in less than a month, there had been two murders in this Hangzhou city, and the motive for the crime had not yet been clarified, and the murderer was also at large, which obviously made him feel very tricky, unconsciously, he came to Li Mingyue's room, and thought that he would simply interrogate her again to see if he could ask anything.

"Your Excellency!" The guards at the door immediately saluted when they saw Pei Ziyu coming.

Pei Ziyu: "Has this Li Mingyue ever stepped out of the door today?" ”

Guard: "The subordinates have been guarding the outside of the house, and the lady has never stepped out of the door. ”

Pei Ziyu: "Then did she eat today?" ”

Guard: "Don't worry, my lord, Madame's dowry maid Xiao Tao sent food into the house on time today, how dare the little ones snub Madame." ”

"Okay, you all go down." Pei Ziyu waved his hand and motioned for the guards to walk away.

Guard: "Yes! ”

After the guards left, Pei Ziyu lowered his head and straightened his clothes slightly, and then raised his eyes to see that there was no candlelight in the house, wondering if Li Mingyue had already fallen asleep, so he gently pushed open the door, he didn't know that Li Mingyue had been waiting for him in the house for a long time at this time......

The moment the door was opened, Li Mingyue immediately pulled up the red line in his hand, and then a black cloth fell on the roof, Pei Ziyu heard the sound, and immediately became alert, making defensive gestures ready to respond at any time, and at the same time looked at the roof that made a noise, but the scene he saw next really surprised him......

I saw five big red lanterns hanging on the roof beams, with many star-shaped patterns hollowed out on them, and the candlelight in the lanterns reflected the shadows of the stars everywhere in the house, and the lanterns swayed back and forth, and the 'stars' also swayed back and forth, as if they were in the air. Pei Ziyu put down his tense hands and looked around, obviously a little stunned......

"Wow! What do you think? Looks good, right? Li Mingyue suddenly jumped out from behind the screen and said in surprise. I thought to myself, the first time you accompanied me for my birthday, you painted a room full of stars with fluorescent paint, and said you were going to give it to me, and now I will do it again for you, hoping that you will remember me.

After listening to Li Mingyue's words, Pei Ziyu just looked at it in surprise and didn't make a sound.

"Originally, I could have made it more beautiful, but I was confined to this house by you and couldn't come and go at will, and the materials and tools were limited, but well, the effect was quite good." Li Mingyue spun around in place, looking at the results of her hard work for a day with satisfaction. Then he walked up to Pei Ziyu proudly with his hands behind his back, and looked at him with blinking eyes, "Do you like it?" ”

Pei Ziyu saw Li Mingyue looking at him fixedly, his eyes dodged and looked away and said, "What do you mean by this behavior?" ”

"I want you to be happy, and besides...... Do you remember something? Li Mingyue then asked tentatively.

When Pei Ziyu heard Li Mingyue say this, he immediately looked at her with puzzled eyes, "What do you think I should think of?" ”

"Uh...... Do you feel that this situation and this scene are familiar? As she spoke, Li Mingyue walked towards him further, expecting his answer. At this time, the flickering candlelight in the room and the 'stars' all over the room made the atmosphere even more enthusiastic, and the distance between Pei Ziyu and Li Mingyue was less than a palm, which obviously made Pei Ziyu feel a little uncomfortable.

"Nope." He replied in a panic.

As soon as the words fell, Li Mingyue took the opportunity to stand on tiptoe, put her hands on his shoulders, and gently kissed him on the cheek.

"And now?" Li Mingyue whispered in his ear.

Pei Ziyu pushed Li Mingyue away from him, walked to the table, held the table with both hands and panted roughly, Li Mingyue immediately followed when he saw this, staring at him carefully, "What's wrong with you?" Uncomfortable? Pei Ziyu didn't answer, turned around and was about to go out, Li Mingyue immediately grabbed him, "Hey, if you're not feeling well, I can help you take a look." After speaking, he reached out and was about to touch his forehead, but Pei Ziyu hurriedly blocked her hand to avoid physical contact with her again.

"No, I'm fine." After speaking, he broke free of Li Mingyue's hand and turned around and went out.

"Hey! Am I going to stay in this house tomorrow? I don't want to stay here forever......" Li Mingyue said to Pei Ziyu, who had just stepped out of the house.

Pei Ziyu paused, "Tomorrow I will order the guards not to come over, and you can come and go freely in this mansion." With that, he continued to walk forward. And Li Mingyue is happy that tomorrow will finally not have to be trapped in this house where there is nothing.
