Our ship directly entered the naval camp on the south bank.

After what I said to Pei Yuanxiu, I went back to the cabin to rest, but when I heard the sound of naval drills coming from around me, I couldn't help but open the window and look outside.

I don't read many military books. In the past, I only skimmed them perfunctorily and scratched the surface. Even so, I can still see the exquisite formation of this naval camp. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If there is a war in the future,

, this camp will be the largest barrier in the south.

The boat finally docked, and I felt a shock on the boat. After a while, there was a knock on the door outside.

I put on the curtain hat again and walked over to open the door. Pei Yuanxiu stood outside the door and said with a smile: "We are here."

"Hmm."

I nodded and followed him out obediently. The boat had already docked, but the biting wind had not weakened at all. As soon as I stepped onto the splint, I was almost knocked off guard and staggered. Pei Yuanxiu hurriedly reached out and grabbed me.

grabbed my hand: "Be careful!"

I stood firm and felt his gentle big hands grabbing me hard, so I said softly: "Thank you, sir. You can let go."

He did not let go, but the strength in his hand was slightly lighter, and he still held me: "I will help you down first. Now is the time when the wind is strong."

"No need."

"..." He turned his head and looked at me. His gaze made me speechless for a moment. I felt him using a little force to pull me over. The two of them walked across the rickety sampan together, and he held my hand with one hand.

, one hand carefully guarded my back. Although there was no physical embrace, I had the illusion of being held tightly in his arms. I lowered my head and looked at my toes, hoping that this road could go as soon as possible.

After finishing, I heard his gentle voice ringing in my ears——

"Don't worry."

"..."

"No matter what I do, I will never force you."

"..."

"Qingying, as long as you say 'no', nothing will happen."

My heart swayed with the sampan under my feet, and I was slightly shaken. I raised my head and looked at him. He looked at me with a smile: "I just want to treat you well during this period of time. Pass me

Whatever you want to do, do it all again."

The ship was surrounded by well-constructed navy camps. In addition to the cold smell of water, there was also the iron smell of weapons in the wind. Even the neat shouts of navy drills echoed in my ears. In such an almost harsh environment,

In such an environment, his gentle smile seemed like another extreme, leaving me unable to say anything for a while.

After getting off the boat and walking onto the pier, Pei Yuanxiu gently let go of my hand.

I became more and more confused and didn't look at him. I followed the returning team and walked a few steps forward. I heard a few maids next to me quietly sucking in the air conditioning. It turned out that the wind on the pier was too strong. These maids were of such stature.

They are so petite that some almost fell down due to the blow.

But my body has obviously not fully recovered yet, but nothing has happened.

Thinking about it, I felt a little strange, so I turned around subconsciously, only to find that Pei Yuanxiu had been walking behind me, his broad shoulders blocking the biting wind, and I could only hear his clothes being blown away.

I suddenly felt a lump in my throat: "Young Master..."

He just smiled faintly: "Let's go."

In the following days, I stayed in his palace-like mansion.

Counting all the ups and downs over the years, it seems that I have never had such a comfortable and leisurely life as I do now. The food and clothing are of the highest quality, and the attendants are all respectful and kind, looking at me in the eyes.

It's like looking at a porcelain doll, for fear that I might accidentally fall down or fall down.

In such a life, the only bitterness may be waiting.

But even if it is bitter, there is still hope. Every day, the old doctor comes to force me to drink a bowl of bitter potion, and he always uses Li'er as an excuse. I can drink it obediently, but after drinking it, my face is wrinkled for a long time.

.

Just when I took a deep breath, pinched my nose and drank the last sip of the medicine, Pei Yuanxiu walked to the door, saw that I was so uncomfortable that I almost retched, and couldn't help complaining: "Yao Lao, this medicine of yours is just for use."

Is it made from Coptis chinensis?"

Yao Lao just smiled and said nothing. Pei Yuanxiu walked in with a smile, suddenly stretched out his hand and magically pulled out a plate of milky plums from behind: "Eat this."

I didn't expect that he heard him and brought snacks. I was a little embarrassed, so I picked up one and put it in my mouth. Immediately, the unpleasant bitter taste was diluted a lot, and I said softly: "

Thank you."

He didn't speak, he just leaned down and stared at me. Yao Lao was packing this thing, but at this time he only glanced at us, turned around and walked out without saying anything. He and I were the only ones left in the room.

Looking at it made me feel more and more at a loss, and said softly: "What's wrong?"

"I see you are recovering well."

"Hmm."

I nodded. Here I look in the mirror every day, and I can see that the swelling marks on my face have gradually subsided. Now there are still some faint redness and swelling on my cheeks. It is much better than before, and I am more energetic.

The improvement is the most obvious. I can feel that my body is much better. I walk from south to north in this house every day, and I don’t feel out of breath or tired after walking for a long time.

Thinking of this, I wanted to raise my head to say thank you, but Pei Yuanxiu stretched out his finger again and pointed it in front of my eyes.

I shut my mouth obediently.

Seeing me like this, he laughed again and said, "It's very lively outside today. Do you want to go for a walk with me?"

"Ah?"

"Would you like to go for a walk?"

"..."

I couldn't recover for a while, and it took me a long time before I said in a daze: "Go out... for a walk?"

"Well, don't you girls like to go out very much?" He looked at me with a smile: "Shopping or something?"

I couldn't help but blush: "How am I still a girl?"

Pei Yuanxiu still looked at me and didn't refute, but the smile in the corner of his eyes got deeper. I was almost at a loss when he looked at me, so I stood up and said: "Don't you want to go out? I also want to go out for a walk and have a look."

He smiled and stood up straight: "Okay."

I thought I would take a carriage when I went out with him, but when I walked out of the side door, I realized that he really planned to take me out for a "walk". It was really just for walking.

I was next to him, watching him walking step by step with his hands behind his back, and I couldn't believe it.

Today he is still dressed in white clothes like snow. Although it is not silk brocade, just ordinary cloth, but with his tall figure and outstanding appearance, he is still eye-catching in the crowd. After only walking a short distance, he can

It felt like the eyes of all the young girls and young wives on the street were looking this way; besides, I was wearing a curtain hat next to him, and the white gauze hanging around covered my face, giving me a mysterious look, which was even more annoying.

The people around me are cautiously guessing.

By this time, I wanted to go back and ride the carriage.

As if he felt that my pace had slowed down a bit, Pei Yuanxiu turned his head and looked at me: "What's wrong?"

I was particularly embarrassed by the looks from around me, so I whispered: "Why are you doing this?"

"Didn't we agree? Come out for a walk."

"Really leaving?"

"Of course." He said and suddenly smiled: "Are your feet sore and you want me to hold you?"

My face sank and I stopped talking.

But I heard him seem to laugh. He has been doing this a lot these days, teasing me intentionally or unintentionally, until I get angry and ignore him, and then he seems to be happy.

The two of them walked without saying anything for a while. He kept following me, and I didn't intend to stop and wait for him. After walking for a while, I saw that there was a lively market in front of me, and there were more and more people. He hurriedly

He walked up to me in a few steps, smiling crookedly at the corners of his eyes: "Are you really angry?"

I still keep my mouth shut.

"I know I shouldn't have said those words," he said, but the smile in his eyes showed no sign of regret at all. Instead, he looked at me with a smile: "But I think it would be better if you were angry.

”

I stopped and looked at him: "Why?"

He folded his arms and said with a smile: "People should have emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy. Only in this way can we be a normal, living person. But over the years, I have seen you laugh happily and cry when you are sad, but you have never

When I see you angry, no matter how difficult it is, you will only feel sad and not angry."

I said calmly: "There is not much difference between being sad and angry."

"The difference is huge."

"Really?"

"Being sad is blaming yourself; being angry is blaming others."

I was stunned for a moment.

"Many things are obviously the fault of others, so why should we blame ourselves?"

"..."

"A girl who is so even-tempered at such a young age cannot be cute."
