As soon as he arrived, Li'er's trip to "accompany" Liu Qinghan for a walk naturally ended. However, it was already getting late, and when we returned to the inn, the sky had darkened. Wen Feng analyzed

Sitting in the lobby eating his dinner, when he saw Pei Yuanxiu walking in, he was stunned for a moment.

However, he reacted quickly, hurriedly put down his chopsticks, stood up, and bowed politely: "I've met the young master."

Pei Yuanxiu smiled gently and said, "Is this General Wen? I've admired him for a long time."

"Don't dare."

Pei Yuanxiu said: "We husband and wife still have something to say, so I'll excuse you now."

"Master, please excuse me."

After saying that, he held Li'er with one hand and extended his other hand to me. I was stunned for a moment and didn't react for a moment. He stood at the top of the stairs and smiled and said: "What's wrong? Let's go."

"..."

I pinched the corner of my clothes and wiped the cold sweat off my palms. Then I took two steps forward and put my hand into his, and was immediately held tightly.

At this time, Li'er suddenly raised his hands behind me excitedly: "Uncle San!"

I subconsciously turned around and saw Liu Qinghan walking in from the door of the inn. He also saw us, smiled and nodded in greeting.

"Uncle Third, I'm going up first. I'll come and play with you later."

"Okay."

I glanced at the mask that had no warmth, and when I looked back, Pei Yuanxiu was still smiling, holding my hand and carrying Li'er upstairs.

After entering the room and closing the door, he pulled me all the way to the bed before letting me go. He also gently put Li'er down. Li'er stayed in his arms all the way. He was fine just now and stopped talking at this time.

, only a small red face, looking a little timid.

I suddenly realized that she was sitting on the bed and saw the two of us again...

I was afraid that she would remember what happened that night again, so I said: "The room is a little stuffy, come and sit by the window. I asked them to bring some food up. Have you eaten?"

"Not yet."

I walked to the door again, called the waiter over and gave a few instructions. They acted quickly, and soon brought some hot refreshments. The food was of course very ordinary, but it was just to satisfy the hunger. Pei Yuanxiu kept holding Li'er,

She ate it by herself and fed her some. Li'er had already eaten a lot on the street, but when Pei Yuanxiu brought it to her mouth, she still opened her mouth obediently and ate it.

At this time, Pei Yuanxiu smiled and rubbed her hair.

I think this kind of drama probably happened often in the past, and Pei Yuanxiu did it very smoothly. Li'er was quite well-behaved in his arms, but he didn't talk much.

After a while, the refreshments were finished.

I twisted a wet handkerchief and handed it over. Pei Yuanxiu wiped the corners of Li'er's mouth and carefully wiped her fingertips. While wiping, he asked: "Where has Li'er been these days?

”

Li'er groaned and said nothing.

"Why, can't you tell Dad?"

Li'er buried her head, even the tips of her ears turned red and she didn't speak. And when I thought about the reason for her running away, I felt a little uneasy and said hurriedly: "She ran around on her own, got into the boat, and was sent all the way."

Yangzhou, fortunately Mr. Liu found her and intercepted her, otherwise we don’t know where this girl would go to go crazy."

"Oh?"

Pei Yuanxiu raised his eyebrows and looked down at Li'er: "Then, is anyone bullying you?"

"No."

"Are you injured? Are you hungry?"

"No."

"Let Dad take a look." After saying that, he stood up with Li'er in his arms and looked up and down to make sure that she was not injured and there was nothing wrong with her, and then he said: "That's it. Don't be so naughty in the future.

, your mother is worried to death."

Li'er looked at me, then at him, and whispered "Yeah".

Pei Yuanxiu smiled and ruffled her hair.

"Okay, it's getting late now, Li'er, it's time for you to go to bed." After saying that, he tapped Li'er's little nose: "You won't run around again tonight, will you?"

Li'er shook her head obediently.

Pei Yuanxiu then stood up with a smile and faced me: "Then let's——"

I glanced at Li'er and felt the ever-changing expression on that little face. I said softly: "I'll stay with Li'er first, and we'll talk about it later."

He looked at me for a while, smiled and nodded: "Yeah."

|

Liu Qinghan's people, plus the people Pei Yuanxiu brought with him this time, basically this small inn was full. The owner did not expect such a good business, and several waiters were busy up and down.

Without stopping, I arranged a room for Pei Yuanxiu, but I stayed in Li'er's room. After washing with her, I hugged her and went to bed.

Li'er has been quiet all the time. She changed her clothes obediently when I asked her to, and rinsed her mouth when I asked her to. She was also quiet when she was lying in my arms.

With her soft hair caressing my neck, I said softly: "Li'er, mother and your father are already husband and wife."

She was silent for a while and then let out a muffled "hmm".

"Many things, when they become facts, then——"

"Mom, Li'er knows."

She raised her head and looked at me: "Li'er is not a weird mother or a weird father, it's just..."

However, that uncomfortable feeling cannot be erased by comfort and happiness. Especially at the age when she is not yet sensible and is about to become sensible, any incident will have an immeasurable impact on her future.

I don’t even know how long such a shadow will hang over my daughter, and what kind of bumps it will bring to her in the future. I can’t predict it, and I have no way to comfort her. I just kissed her gently on the eyes:

"Li'er, forget those things and don't think about them again. You promised my mother."

This time, Li'er didn't speak. After being silent for a long time, she said softly: "Mother."

"Huh?"

"Can I go to sleep in Uncle San's room?"

"...Huh?"

I didn't react for a while, and then I looked at her in shock for a while: "You - your third uncle?"

She nodded: "Before, my third uncle watched me sleep. I slept on the bed and my third uncle slept on the couch."

"You -" I still couldn't accept it, and after a long while, I said softly: "Li'er, aren't you afraid of his face?"

Li'er blinked his big eyes, thought for a long time, stretched out his hands to hold my neck, and whispered in my ear: "Mom, I'll tell you secretly. When I went to my third uncle's place, every night

When I close my eyes, I will think of what happened that night. I always have nightmares, and my third uncle has been watching over me. As soon as I see my third uncle’s face, I won’t think about it. I’m not afraid.”

"..."

Could it be that the scene that night shocked her too much, and Liu Qinghan's ghost-like face made her stop thinking about it?

I was confused for a moment, but looking at Li'er's eager eyes, I didn't know how to refuse, so I got up with her in confusion, walked through the corridor to Liu Qinghan's door, and knocked gently.

I heard rapid footsteps coming from inside.

"Who?"

When the door was opened, a burst of water vapor hit the face first.

I looked up and saw Liu Qinghan standing at the door. He seemed to have just taken a shower. His white clothes and black hair looked as simple as a gongbi painting. There were still some crystal water droplets condensed on the tips of his hair. With his movements,

Every drop of water dripped down and wetted my clothes.

When I saw him like this, I was stunned. Li'er also looked at him several times.

He was holding a warm towel in his hand and was wiping his neck. When he saw it was us, he was stunned: "Madam? Li'er?"

"Third uncle."

Li'er raised her little face and smiled at him, and Liu Qinghan remembered it. He quickly picked up a towel and covered the injured side of his face, looking a little embarrassed: "What's the matter?"

There was a lump in my throat, and I forced a smile: "Sorry to bother you, Li'er is coming to find you."

"Ah?"

Li'er also held his sleeve: "Third uncle, I want to sleep here with you."

Liu Qinghan was stunned, then immediately laughed, squatting down and looking at Li'er: "You are sleeping in the third uncle's room, then where did you drive the third uncle to?"

"On the couch, you're always sleeping on the couch."

Seeing her like this, it seemed natural. Just as I was about to say something, Liu Qinghan already smiled and said, "Then you still complain about your third uncle snoring and disturbing you?"

Li'er shook his head like a rattle.

Liu Qinghan laughed.

He stood up and looked at me. Before he could speak, I already said apologetically: "I'm so sorry, I——"
