After discussing the plan with Yu Shengtian, Li Nanke returned home.
In the courtyard, Yu Hongye was swinging leisurely under the grape trellis, her red skirt rippling slowly like a fire dragon.
"I came back quite late today."
Seeing the man coming back, Yu Hongye smiled vaguely.
"Madam isn't here?"
Li Nanke didn't see his wife and asked with a frown.
"I went out with Yaoyao to collect herbs. I should be back later."
Yu Hongye pointed her toes, and her slightly raised red skirt drew an elegant curve, blending into the soft green scenery around her in the moonlight.
"Has the little rabbit gone to bed already?"
Li Nanke asked.
There was a soft color in Yu Hongye's charming eyes, "That girl will sleep after eating, like a little pig." The woman's tone was full of doting.
After all, everyone likes such a cute girl.
Seeing the man's tired look, she asked again: "Are you hungry? Do you want me to cook you a bowl of noodles?"
"no appetite."
Li Nanke shook his head.
Yu Hongye also knew what happened in the Night Patrol Department, and sighed slightly, "In your profession, sooner or later, you have to be mentally prepared like this. I don't know what you are planning."
Picture what?
Li Nanke recalled what Niu Daru said when he grabbed his clothes before he died, and he felt a touch of complicated emotions in his heart.
"Responsibility."
Li Nanke said softly.
Yu Hongye wanted to sneer, but looking at the other party's solemn and dark expression, she pressed her red lips tightly.
"I'll make you a bowl of noodles and heat up the leftovers."
The woman jumped off the swing lightly and entered the kitchen.
Li Nanke sat on the swing, with the unique fragrance of women still lingering in the air, staring at the full moon floating slowly in the pond with the water patterns in a daze.
Li Donghai's mocking words made him see some of the essence.
The death of Niu Daru has repainted these essences with new colors.
To be honest, he didn't have a good impression of Niu Daru.
Even after the last action, I dispelled my doubts about him, but I still feel that this person is sometimes pedantic.
But now it seems that this pedantry makes him look "clean".
In the big dye house of Night Watch Division, keeping "clean" is not easy.
"Hey, a grown man is swinging here."
The woman's clear voice suddenly sounded from behind and penetrated into the man's ears like wind chimes.
It was He Panjun's voice.
This little witch came unexpectedly at this time.
Li Nanke was too lazy to talk to her.
Seeing that the man didn't respond, He Panjun came to him with his hands behind his back, his beautiful and charming cheeks filled with doubts, "Are you asleep?"
"What's up?"
Li Nanke asked calmly.
The man's indifference made He Panjun puff up his cheeks and say, "Can't I come to you if I have nothing to do? You are not the emperor. You have to go deep into the palace to see me."
Li Nanke said: "Niu Daru is dead."
"..."
This sentence brought the woman a long silence.
"I just found out about it not long ago."
He Panjun's smart eyes were filled with deep apology and self-blame.
"We set the terms of cooperation before. You help me catch the dragon guard, and I will help you monitor Niu Daru. But now, I don't keep a close eye on him..."
The woman lowered her head slightly, and some of the hanging black hair covered her eyebrows and eyes in the night wind, cutting off her sight.
"It's because something happened to my sister, so I stopped monitoring her. In short, I'm sorry for you. If you need any help in the future, you can just come to me."
It seems that the main purpose of He Panjun's visit this time is to explain the reasons to the man and apologize at the same time.
If she could keep monitoring, maybe Niu Daru would not have died.
Li Nanke let out a long breath and said, "It's none of your business. Even if you continue to monitor me, Niu Daru will get rid of you with his ability."
Hearing the man's forgiveness, He Panjun didn't feel at ease, but felt even more guilty.
But she suddenly remembered something and said softly: "By the way, when I was following him four days ago, I found that he went to a place."
"Where did you go?" Li Nanke asked casually.
He Panjun whispered in his ear, and the latter's eyes suddenly became sharp.
"you sure?"
Li Nanke confirmed.
He Panjun said: "It's absolutely true, but unfortunately it's exactly what you said. I lost track of him after that, so I don't know who he met specifically."
"Understood."
Li Nanke was thoughtful.
"The noodles are ready."
After a while, Yu Hongye came out of the kitchen carrying a serving plate.
When she saw He Panjun, she did not show any surprise. Instead, she greeted him warmly, "How about we come together? We have enough food."
"No, just eat."
He Panjun looked strange and ducked out of the small courtyard.
"You are quite familiar with it."
Li Nanke said after coming back from his meditation.
Yu Hongye brought the food into the living room and said with a smile: "It's not cooked at all."
"Then you still say hello."
"Can't you? After all, he is your friend and he is at your home. Shouldn't he say hello?"
Yu Hongye retorted with good reason.
Li Nanke was speechless.
Smelling the aroma of the food, the man who originally had no appetite also made a "gurgling" sound in his stomach, so he sat down and started eating unceremoniously.
Yu Hongye, on the other hand, crossed her hands on the table, holding her fair chin, and looked at the man without blinking.
This look is like looking at her lover.
"Aren't you going to eat?"
Li Nanke felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, so he casually said an old joke from decades ago, "How about I feed you some?"
"No, not interested."
Unexpectedly, Yu Hongye understood instantly, and even narrowed her eyes provocatively and said, "You are not qualified yet."
Li Nanke's eyes were strange.
This woman is really strange.
Let’s talk about debauchery, but also a chaste body. Let’s talk about modesty, basically I know everything about love between men and women.
If she were an experienced driver, what would be wrong with driving fast?
"Hey, do you think my good sister is not disgusted with you?"
Yu Hongye kicked the man and said with a smile.
Li Nanke chuckled and said, "It's normal. What woman in the world would be disgusted by such a handsome, smart, considerate and gentle man like me? No matter how immortal Ye Fairy is, she is still a woman."
"No, no, you don't understand me."
Yu Hongye casually grabbed a bunch of hair and put it between her lips, scratching it while saying,
"This good sister of mine treats other men as nothing, but she is very...how can I put it? Oh, by the way, she is very 'human' towards you."
Human flavor?
This was the first time Li Nanke heard this analysis.
He took two mouthfuls of noodles and said vaguely: "She came to my wife for treatment. If she continues to ignore me, then she is totally mentally ill."
Snapped!
Yu Hongye clapped her hands and said, "By the way, she is sick. But when she faces you, her illness will be cured."
Li Nanke was confused.
What on earth does this woman want to say?
"I want to do an experiment." Yu Hongye came closer, pressed her bulging front on the table, and whispered, "Next time when Yaoyao takes a bath, I will secretly hide you in the room, and you can peek at her."
"puff--"
The noodles in Li Nanke's mouth spurted out. A few strands landed on the face of the woman opposite, and another one went directly into the woman's collar.
