Xiao Yan pushed open the door and went in, and smashed a mass of things on her head and face. Thanks to her quick eyes and hands, she grabbed it. When she saw that it was a mass of paper, she breathed a sigh of relief.

The person in the room was A Li, and Xiao Yan was not surprised that the kitchen knife was slashing towards her, but now she was a little puzzled when she looked at the non-lethal paper ball in her hand.

A Li sat at the desk by the window, and didn't lift his head after throwing the paper balls. He held a pen in his hand, and in front of him lay a sheet of unstained white paper.

Xiao Yanfu sincerely opened the paper ball in his hand, and wrote a large letter in bold and concise words on it:

roll!

"..."

A Li's words are clear and handsome, just like his people. Xiao Yan is no stranger to words in this world, but he can't write such a good calligraphy with a brush. He can't help but glance at the word "roll" on the ball of paper.

A Li was sitting upright, there was no movement in the room on the left, and there was no movement in the room on the right. He was impetuous, clenched his fingers and turned to look at Xiao Yan, and saw that she was actually holding the paper he threw over to look at it.

Xiao Yan looked attentive, looking at the waste paper was more serious than looking at people's bodies.

A Li didn't know what to think, his face was red and then blue, his thin lips were white, and his thin chest heaved several times.

He lowered his eyes and wrote another piece of paper, and walked towards Xiao Yan with heavy breathing, his well-proportioned fingers holding the corner of the paper, standing in front of Xiao Yan, raising his thin eyelids to look at her.

Ah Li gave birth to a pair of long, narrow and beautiful phoenix eyes, and now the ends of the eyes are raised, and the eyes are full of ridicule.

Xiao Yan followed his face and looked at the paper he was holding in his hand, took a sharp breath, coughed twice in shock, and couldn't help but put his hand on his lips and lowered his eyes.

He writes:

- Does this paper look good on me?

It was obviously a colorful sentence, but after he wrote it out with a thick pen, he showed it to himself, and Xiao Yan really didn't dare to think about it. She only felt that the words were covered with knives. If she dared to nod or shake her head, the knives would definitely stab her in the face.

Xiao Yan decisively changed the subject, put away the paper and stuffed it into his sleeve, and put the brocade box he brought on the table.

Before she could open the brocade box to introduce ginseng, Ah Li handed over another piece of paper with a mocking look and pale lips.

- Compensation after being overpowered by you? It's too precious, I can't afford it.

Obviously, Xiao Yan had heard what Xiao Yan said in the courtyard with his mother Li. Knowing that this is Xiao Yan's compensation for making him "unhappy".

Xiao Yan frowned and looked at A Li, he straightened his back and pretended to be strong, he just held up a stance in front of her, if his lips were ruddy and the ends of his eyes were not red, Xiao Yan might believe it. .

Xiao Yan did not speak, and deliberately approached A Li half a step. He stepped back subconsciously, his breathing became heavier, his phoenix eyes were about to widen, and he sat down to be more restrained.

A Li deliberately didn't take what happened just a few hours ago seriously, just for fear that Xiao Yan would threaten him and humiliate him.

"You don't act like you," Xiao Yan looked down at his bluish-red complexion, his big palm pressed against his back waist and suddenly pushed into his arms, A Li fell half a step forward, and the two of them immediately pressed against each other. Together. A Li's breathing stopped, his face flushed with suffocation, Xiao's tone was flat, as if stating the truth, "You shouldn't back away but stick it up like this."

A Li finally couldn't hold back anymore, he clenched his teeth and looked at Xiao Yan, his body resisted and leaned back to distance himself from her, but he couldn't match Xiao Yan's strength, tears of humiliation slid down the end of his eyes, his body couldn't stop shivered, and the memories from a few hours ago came back like a tide.

He hated and feared.

Xiao Yan sighed and raised his hand to wipe away the tears from A Li's eyes. He resisted biting his lip and turned his head away, squinting at her as if poisoned.

"Have you taken the medicine?" Xiao Yan retracted his fingers hanging in the air, lowered his eyes, and looked at Ah Li's hand in front of her.

Following A Li's raising his hand, the loose sleeves slid down the fabric and piled up on the elbows, revealing his fair and thin forearms. The red marks on his wrists from the hairbands had been covered by several layers of gauze. .

In addition to his wrists, there are countless bruises on his body, all of which are hidden under this crescent-white robe...

Xiao Yan's throat tightened, silently spurning his rude behavior in his heart, looking at the man whose arms were about to shake into scum, he gently released him, "I told my mother that I wanted to marry you, she didn't object, let me ask Ask your aunt's opinion."

Xiao Yan no longer looked at A Li, and sat on the table to himself, with his palms on the brocade box, "These are not compensations for wrongdoing, they are just used to replenish your body."

Not being stared at by her, Ah Li breathed a sigh of relief after the calamity, and almost fell to the ground. He took two steps back, propped up the desk behind him, and breathed slowly. He lowered his head and listened to Xiao Yan's words, the corners of his mouth curled into self-deprecating sarcasm.

He lost his innocence, how could Xiao Yan respect him and his mother?

It is said to ask for opinions, but in fact, it is to go through the motions.

Xiao Yan groped for a moment, and opened the box with a "pop" sound. A Li, who was thinking about things, was taken aback by the movement, and looked up at her suddenly. Seeing the woman sitting at the table with her back to him, A Li's eyes became darker and darker as if dipped in ink. .

She is still alive, why should she die? Even if he died, he would also pull her together!

Xiao Yan's voice was a little surprised, as if talking to himself, he lowered his eyes and chuckled, "This ginseng looks like a radish."

Thankfully, it was still tied with a red rope pretentiously. It is said that if ginseng is not tied with a red rope, it will secretly open the box and run away at night.

Xiao Yan used to be young and energetic, so she didn't drink ginseng tea easily. Other people's thermos cups were full of red dates and wolfberry. She only drank coffee every day. If she knew that she would die suddenly, Xiao Yan would definitely choose to stay healthy and go to bed early.

"When I look back, I propose marriage to my aunt. I will agree to anything she asks." Xiao Yan turned to look at Ah Li, his eyes warm, "I will give you a solemn and grand wedding."

A Li's back straightened instantly and met Xiao Yan's line of sight.

A Li first parted his face, pursed his lips, and swept his eyes out of the window. Li Mu was sitting on the steps of the pavilion in the courtyard, with a dustpan on her lap, looking down to pick up herbs.

He clenched his fingers and turned to write.

Looking at the line of words on the paper, A Li felt half of the hatred in his chest dissipated.

A Li pursed his lips, sat at the desk with the paper in hand, turned to show it to her, no longer dared to bully him to test, obviously scared by Xiao Yan's actions just now.

——No matter what my mother asks, if she wants to marry me, I have one condition here.

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows, his eyes climbed up from the paper and landed on A Li's face, slowly looking at the pair of long and narrow phoenix eyes. Because of playing with his heart and his eyes, there was a hint of happiness in those cold eyes, and finally there was a little light.

Xiao Yan wanted to laugh in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She nodded and said in a clear voice, "Let's have a look."

I saw A Li folded the rice paper in front of him with both hands, revealing the line:

- Kneeling in the yard begging me.

beg me to marry you.

At least in the eyes of outsiders, I didn't marry you because I was raped, but because you died begging for me to marry you. If this matter is revealed in the future, the mother's face will not be too ugly, and their mother and son will not be despised and neglected in Xiao Mansion.

Women have gold under their knees.

Xiao Yan nodded happily while thinking about this old saying, "It's all up to you."

She doesn't even have gold fingers, so she still cares about the gold under her knees?

Seeing her promise so neatly, A Li was stunned for a moment. He glanced suspiciously at Xiao Yan, afraid that she would not be able to read the words on the paper clearly, and then stretched his arms and handed it to her, as if he was in Say:

- Look at it, open your eyes and take a closer look.

Xiao Yan laughed heartily, and pretended to be serious, "As long as it is your request, I will agree."

A Li pursed his lips, feeling a little sullen in his heart, as if the jar that had been smashed on the ground when he vented his anger was not only not broken, but it also rolled away, so unhappy.

He crumpled the ball of paper and held it in his hand.

Xiao Yan sat in the room all the time. After hearing that Ah Li had agreed to marry him, he opened the door and prepared to go out.

A Li looked at the back of her head, her heart was blocked and heavy, and hatred almost overflowed from her eyes. His eyes swept across the desk, and he paused suspiciously for a moment on the inkstone the size of an adult's palm. Then, he pursed his lips and stuffed a quail egg-sized pebble into the paper ball in his palm, and threw it towards Xiao Yan through gritted teeth.

The sound of breaking wind sounded, and Xiao Yan felt cold on the back of her head. She instinctively tilted her head and grabbed it back. The paper wrapped around the stone was heavy, and she not only failed to grasp it, but also smashed her fingertips, causing her to "his" in pain.

The dripping jar finally collided with the stone next to it, and it shattered with a smashing sound, and A Li felt a little more at ease.

Seeing Xiao Yan deflated, A Li's eyes gleamed. Although he was still unhappy in his heart, he let out a bad breath.

The fingertips hit by the stone felt numb and painful, Xiao Yan twisted gently. She looked at the paper ball on the ground and the pebbles inside, and was silent for a moment. If the paper wasn't too small, she suspected that Ah Li would wrap the inkstone in it and smash it.

As expected of the male protagonist who can be blackened, his heart is cruel enough.

Xiao Yan strode out as if his tail was caught by the door, bent down and picked up the pebbles and left. Mother Li was sitting on the steps of the gazebo, facing A Li's door. Seeing Xiao Yan come out, she smiled and waved to her, "Did you make it clear?"

Li mother said, "Ali's temperament looks cold, but it's actually cold on the outside and hot on the inside. He's used to pretending to be strong, and he doesn't know how to relax and soften."

soft? what soft? Where is it soft?

Xiao Yan rubbed the cobblestone in his hand, and when he walked away, he heard such a keyword, and thought with doubts in his eyes, she just tried it a few hours ago, it is not soft.

How could Li mother know that this man-like Xiao Yan was full of rubbish in front of her, she sighed, "I've suffered for him."

Xiao Yan looked at Li Mu, whose eyes and lips were already wrinkled, and her heart slowly calmed down. Thinking about what to say, she was inexplicably nervous. She clenched her fingers, "Auntie, I want to marry A Li, and I won't let him in the future. You mother and son will suffer again."

"Well, I know your mother asked your sister - who, who are you going to marry?" The herbal medicine in Li Mu's hand fell to the ground. It's not that Xiao's mother didn't mention it to her before, but she was talking about Xiao Shu. Why did she suddenly become the boss?

"I." Xiao Yan said, "I will marry."

Li Mu's expression changed, looking at Xiao Yan who was sitting on the steps beside her, her lips opened and closed, and finally she just said dryly, "It depends on Li."

The only precious son from the mother is this, and I want to choose the best wife and owner for him. As for Xiao Yan, the two words "best" are obviously still a short distance away. As an elder, Li's mother is too direct to refuse, so she can only tell Xiao Yan in a tactful and roundabout way, that it is up to Ah Li himself.

Based on what Li's mother knew about A Li, he would definitely not agree.

Xiao Yan smiled, "Ali agreed."

"!" Li Mu gasped, her voice changed, "Agreed?"

Xiao Yan nodded, "He said let me come over tomorrow to ask for a kiss."

"...This, this..." Mother Li couldn't figure out what A Li was thinking after a long time. Since her son agreed, it was pointless for her to sit here and ask Xiao Yan again. Ask Ali.

Xiao Yan stood up and brushed the dust off his clothes, then bowed his hands to his mother who looked up at her, and said, "Auntie, then I'll come over tomorrow."

From the mother's heart: It's okay not to come...

The author has something to say: Xiao Yan: I have to come, otherwise I am afraid that A Li will force me to come with a knife in the middle of the night. Not only that, I have to declare to the outside world that I came voluntarily (sighing to the sky)

Mother: It's not easy...

Believe me, don't abuse the female lead, don't abuse the male lead, it's all for the sake of emotional progress! I, perhaps, when have I been abused? (akimbo)

In addition, I want to ask for a collection, I don't say it doesn't mean that it is not fragrant to collect. TvT, I am actually very greedy for it.
