He couldn't even pretend.
When these words fell into Zhong Li's ears, wouldn't it be a knock? She couldn't help but turn pale, and she had no right to ask him to change. If he wanted to bite, she could only endure it.
Zhong Li has never been so clearly aware of his status. Feeling embarrassed for a moment, she took a step back in embarrassment, instinctively wanting to escape.
When Pei Xing reached out to pull her, she avoided her. Her voice was inaudible, "Uncle Third, I'll take a bath first."
The girl's voice was trembling, and Pei Xing had the illusion that she would cry in the next moment. He frowned and reached out to grab her again. This time he grabbed her belt. He stretched out his hand and pulled it. Pulled her to his side.
The girl's face was tensed, and although there was a smile in her eyes, her expression was even more ugly than crying, "Is there anything wrong with the third uncle?"
Pei Xing always felt that which sentence poked her. He didn't have the patience to coax her. When he saw her appearance, he frowned. After a while, he compromised a little irritably: "I try to be gentle."
He had never had the word compromise in his life, and said it reluctantly.
There was still a smile in Zhong Li's eyes, and she wanted to reply to him in a cold voice, "It's not necessary."
She was still sensible after all, smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll thank the third uncle first."
Pei Xing glanced at her expression, saw that she was not crying, and the smile on her face was as sweet as ever, so she nodded, "Wipe my hair first."
After he let go, Zhong Li stood up straight. To be honest, every time he came early, Zhong Li felt uncomfortable and didn't know how to get along with him.
Seeing his request, Zhong Li had to get a cloth towel. Before he came, the servant briefly wiped it for him. He didn't have the patience to wait any longer, so he gave up. .
The room was very quiet for a while.
His hair was dense and long, and it wasn't easy to wipe. As Zhong Li wiped it, the embarrassment in his heart was gradually digested.
Most of the reason she was with him was to repay his life-saving grace. Without his antidote, she would definitely be in a lingering fate at the moment. Now, she was only bitten by him a few times, but it was actually not that unbearable.
Why should she care about his words?
After Zhong Li finished wiping, she put away the towel, and Pei Xing sensitively noticed that her attitude had changed a little, and he was a little annoyed.
When she was about to leave, he grabbed her arm again.
When he met her clear eyes, he didn't know what to say, so he simply changed the subject, "Gu Zhiya is not a good thing, you should be careful, it's best not to let her touch Gu Cheng."
After reminding him, he let go. After all, Gu Cheng just broke his head, so there is not necessarily a possibility of a cure. Now that Gu Lin is sick, Gu Zhiya will inevitably not jump over the wall.
Zhong Li was slightly startled, something flashed in her mind, and her eyes were full of shock. After seeing the filth of human hearts, she actually doubted whether Cheng'er's injury was just an accident, but unfortunately she followed Cheng'er's maid. have been disposed of.
Even if Zhong Li wanted to check, he couldn't find anything.
Her breathing was a little short, and she held Pei Xing's hand tightly, "Third uncle, do you know something?"
In just a moment, she was sweating all over her body and her palms were a little wet, which shows how much stimulation this incident had on her.
Pei Xing frowned and didn't answer.
Zhong Li still held him tightly, seeing that he refused to speak, she was about to kneel immediately, Pei Xing pulled her up, the next moment, the tears in the girl's eyes fell, "Third uncle, A Li Please."
Chapter 35
For the first time, Pei Xing had a strong remorse. He only wanted to divert her attention before reminding her.
He did succeed in diverting his attention, but he forgot how much she cared about Cheng'er and what a sharp little girl she was.
Pei Xing reached out and wiped away her tears, afraid of what she would do impulsively, he said without changing his face: "I mean, about Gu Lin, she may suspect you, but who knows what she will do Whatever you do, it is essential to be on guard against others."
Zhong Li didn't believe it. He had never been a man of explanations, but his explanation at the moment seemed like a cover-up.
Also, if it really was what Gu Zhiya did, it would be normal for him not to say anything. After all, only Gu Zhiya was related to him by blood, Zhong Li gradually calmed down, and the sweat on his body gradually receded.
At this moment, she was terribly cold, not only on her body, but also on the soles of her feet. She turned her face away and did not let him touch her again.
Pei Xing's hand froze in the air.
Zhong Li took a step back and opened the distance between the two. She blessed him with a blessing, but she was unsuccessful, "Ali is in a bad mood today, third uncle, come back another day."
After she finished speaking, she turned and walked out of the inner room.
Qiuyue and Xia He were both waiting outside, and I vaguely heard her choking sound. Because Pei Xing was also there, they didn't come in easily. Seeing the master came out, the two hurriedly moved up, "Girl?"
Zhong Li has wiped away the tears on her face, but her eyes are a little red, and her expression is calm, "I'm fine, prepare water, I want to take a bath."
Zhong Li soaked in the tub for a long time, she kept thinking about Cheng'er.
After careful calculation, it was four years ago that Cheng'er fell and was injured. During that time, the mother's old illness relapsed and she could not take care of Cheng'er. It was the nurse and the maid who took care of Cheng'er, a four-year-old boy. , When it was naughty, he liked to go to the garden to pick flowers, go to the pond to watch small fish, and go to the second room to find Gu Jin.
In short, he seldom stayed in the small courtyard, and the maids and nurses followed him around the garden. The day of his accident was also in March.
At that time, he was accompanied by a wet nurse and four first-class maids. According to the maids, it was Cheng'er who wanted to go to the mountain to play.
There is a man-made rockery in the back garden of Hou Mansion. The area of ββthe rockery is not small. Many flowers and plants are planted on the top of the mountain, and there is a pavilion on it. In spring, the girls like to enjoy the scenery in the pavilion.
Cheng'er is still young, and the nurses never took him to the rockery in the past. He is also very good on weekdays. When he wants to play, if he doesn't let him play, it's fine to discuss it carefully, but he kept shouting that he wanted to go to the rockery to see the stars. , He also said that when he climbed high, he could see many, many stars.
