Chapter 196: Chapter 194: Complicated Relations, Taking a Crucial Step
“Ha! What’s so difficult about a long journey? You can live directly in the county seat. The constable gives you a good horse for transportation from the governmental office. Plus, aside from chasing criminals, you are free to come and go as you like. What’s not to love?”
“This…”
Di Yelei was tempted!
He turned his head to look at Liu Sisi, who was anxiously blinking at him, signaling him not to agree.
Seeing her incessant blinking, Di Yelei misunderstood and thought that Liu Sisi was urging him to agree quickly.
He was extremely happy inside!
Sisi was too excellent, so excellent that he felt inferior standing next to her, always feeling that he was not worthy of her!
Now, although he’s only a constable, he’s finally taken a critical step. He doesn’t want her to be too far ahead of him. He wants to stand in front of her, protect her, and cherish her! To become a real man who can match her!
After a moment of silence, he raised his head again to look at Zuo Xingyu on the side.
As if sensing each other’s thoughts, Zuo Xingyu suddenly raised his head, his sharp gaze swept across, giving Di Yelei a huge boost of encouragement in an instant.
The coldness enveloping his body almost froze Liu Sisi’s heart.
She took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the inexplicable coldness in her heart, avoiding his gaze subconsciously, unsure whether her feelings were more of guilt or concern.
Subconsciously, she straightened her chest, looked back at Zuo Xingyu, and glared at him.
Even if she really did something to hurt him in the past, he had nearly harmed Yelei before, so, even if she owed him a lot, she had paid him back right now!
Seeing Liu Sisi’s angry stare, Zuo Xingyu frowned in surprise. His wise eyes flashed a strange color as he looked deeply at her and then withdrew his gaze.
“…Alright, from now on, I hope to receive much care from my colleagues!”
Just as Liu Sisi was getting lost in her thoughts, Di Yelei joyfully greeted several constables, instantly pulling her mind back from the confusion.
What’s going on? She was only distracted for a moment and Yelei had become a constable?
If Yelei is a constable, wouldn’t that mean he would have to work with Zuo Xingyu all the time? Guarding against those arrows coming out of nowhere!
Liu Sisi’s complexion changed instantly!
Damn it!
Everything in front of her lost control!
At the moment, Di Yelei’s mood was exceptionally good!
The Lord County Magistrate promised that he could move into the housing specially assigned to the constables, saving him a lot of rent.
Although the distance from the county to the upper village is a bit long, with a good horse provided to the constables, it’s different again! He can get up early at 5-7 a.m, reach the county by mid-morning, return in the afternoon, and get home by early evening.
In this way, although it’s a bit hard, he can keep up with both his work at home and in the governmental office!
Adding on the “bathe and return to visit the family every five days”, it means that he can spend one day with Sisi every five days. Plus, there are breaks on holidays. This is really not bad.
The quiet Gan Miaoruo sitting next to Madam Gan Senior looked at Liu Sisi, who didn’t show any sign of happiness on her face. Her eyes rolled in their sockets, and suddenly brightened, she rose to County Magistrate Su.
“Uncle Su, do you truly love Ruo Ruo?”
The little girl in front of him, only seven or eight years old, tilted her head, her face was delicate and her big eyes were blinking at him.
Perhaps others might not know, but being the County Magistrate of Macheng himself, how could he not recognize this Eldest Miss standing right in front of him?
