C82 (2/2)

”I can't eat, I'm a bit tired. Maybe I haven't had a good rest recently.” Sun Chun said as he pointed to the dark circles under his eyes and laughed helplessly.

Xia Li looked carefully at Sun Chun's face, and indeed, he had a pair of bright panda eyes, and his face was a lot more haggard.

”Then you wait a little longer. After I finish eating, I'll find an inn for you to rest for two hours. After that, we'll return to Tianshui Village.”

Xia Li thoughtfully said as he lowered his head and continued to eat.

She was always afraid that he would leave, she just wanted to treat him well and try to keep Sun Chun here.

After Xia Li finished eating, he did not leave immediately. He sat with Sun Chun in tacit understanding for a while, then called the waiter over to settle the bill and left.

”Let's go to the inn to rest for another two hours. Didn't you just say that you were very tired?” Xia Li held Sun Chun's arm and asked in concern.

”Let's return to Tianshui Village together. If we delay it for even an hour, the food will get cold.” Sun Chun laughed, and then took the initiative to take Xia Li's food box into his hands.

Xia Li thought and nodded, then pulled Sun Chun to the horse carriage shop to rent a carriage and return to Tianshui Village, allowing Sun Chun to rest inside the carriage. She greeted the carriage driver, and then, the carriage driver brought two people back to Tianshui Village.

When the two of them returned to the courtyard, Lee's took the initiative to welcome them. Seeing that the two of them were safe and sound, the worry in his heart finally dropped.

”Did it go well today? Rich Man Yang didn't make things difficult for you guys? ” Lee's poured two cups of tea for the two and asked worriedly.

”Luckily, he didn't make things difficult for us and settled the debt with us face to face. From now on, we have nothing to do with him anymore.” Xia Li replied with a smile.

”That's good, we've finally gotten rid of this demon in the future.” Lee's said as he patted his heart.

”Elder sister, what's so good about it? It smells so good!” Xia Qing stood around the box on the table, saliva flowing out of his mouth.

”Sweet fish, tofu with eggplant sauce, fried prawns with green peppers, and stewed bamboo shoots. These are all good dishes that you have never tasted before. Do you want to try them?” Xia Li squatted, and caressed Xia Qing's little head, smiling as he asked.

”I want to eat it!” Mother and I want to eat it! ” Xia Qing's voice was crisp and comfortable to listen to. The most important thing was that this child had been filial since he was young, so he understood how to appreciate his family. Xia Li felt extremely gratified in his heart.

”Let's go. Mother will bring you to wash your hands. If you don't clean up, you'll be sick after eating.” Lee's coaxed Xia Qing, and brought him to the kitchen to get a bucket of clean water, then washed his hands and face.

”My mother is also quite interesting. She's in quite a good mood today.” Xia Qing carried the food out from the box and said with emotion.

”I hope your family's life will be like this in the future, getting better and better.” Sun Chun sat on the low stool and said seriously.

”Of course, this is a promise I made to myself. I must let my family live a good life, including you.” Xia Li opened his eyes wide and carefully observed Sun Chun's expression, his heart filled with anticipation.

”Yes.” Sun Chun nodded and fell into silence.

Xia Li's heart slowly sank. Recently, she had tried to probe Sun Chun three or four times, but he had always treated her as if she was his, and when she was in danger, he would give his all to help her get past this difficult situation. However, when she tried to get close to his hands once again, he had never coldly refused her.

”I'm a little tired now, so I'll go back to my room to rest first. You accompany Xia Qing and your mother to eat.”

As Sun Chun said this, she went back to her own room and bolted the door. Xia Li could not let go of the door in her heart and chased after her, but when she tried to open the door, she found that she could not.

sat on the table under the tree, and ate the delicious food brought by Xia Li and Sun Chun with gusto. Lee's sat on the side, and unceasingly gave Xia Qing food, occasionally wiping the grease on his mouth with a handkerchief.

When she finished eating, washed the dishes, cleaned up the kitchen, and prepared to tidy up the courtyard, she inadvertently saw Xia Li sitting under a tree in a daze. Then, she walked over and accompanied her to sit down.

”So what if you're my daughter? You've already paid your debt, what's there to be unhappy about?”

's heart was filled with too much disappointment, he had no place to complain. After being questioned by the Lee's, her emotions collapsed, and she laid on his shoulders, leaning on him for a while, holding back the tears in her eyes and preventing him from falling. She was a strong woman, and did not want her family to worry too much about her.

”Did you have an argument with the Young Master Sun? It's normal for there to be a small fight between you two. As long as you understand him a little more, you will live a good life. It's better than Mother! ” As if thinking back to his past nightmare of being beaten and scolded, Lee's tensed up, not wanting to think any further.

”Mom, he said that he will leave sooner or later, so he can't give me any future promises.” Xia Qing did not feel the discomfort of the Lee's, and was completely immersed in his own little emotions.

”In that case, you should keep a suitable distance between yourselves. Otherwise, if you stay together day in and day out, the damage will be too great for you.” Hearing Xia Li's words, the Lee's thought for a bit and then advised Xia Li to leave.

”Give me some time.” Xia Li was stunned for a moment. He let go of Lee's's hand and stood up, then anxiously walked a few steps back to Lee's. He ran back to his room and locked himself up.

Lee's shook his head and sighed.

Xia Li had not slept for the entire night, his eyes were slightly swollen. When the sky was not bright, she woke up early, filled a basin of cold water, and coldly applied it to her face to ease herself up, tidied up, returned to her room, and slept for a bit longer. It was only when Sun Chun knocked on her door that Xia Li woke up, and walked out of the room.
