After Wen Yi finished eating, she was going to take Li Qian back to her small courtyard. She got up early in the morning and started practicing martial arts. They hadn't sat down to have a good chat yet.
Chen Bin said with a hint of dissatisfaction: "You have just arrived and are leaving. Can't you stay here for a little longer?"
"This is your study. It would be bad if I hindered you from doing things here." Wen Yi replied directly without thinking.
Chen Bin stared at her with an ugly expression. When Li Qing saw it, he had to stand up and leave. Before leaving, he didn't forget to drag Li Qian with him. Li Qian said, "Do I want to play for a while?"
"I know how to play all day long. Go back today. Your mother wants to see you if she has something to do." As he spoke, he poked her forehead. Seeing her standing there motionless, Li Qing raised his hand to knock her again, but Chen Fei raised his hand. Stopped.
Li Qian saw his father's different expression and was afraid that Chen Fei would say nonsense, so he quickly stepped forward and pulled Li Qing away. When he came to the door, he suddenly turned around and made a shut-up gesture to Chen Fei.
Wen Yi waited until the father and daughter were far away before teasing: "Brother Chen Fei, what? Do you want to have a secret relationship with Li Qian? Aren't you afraid that Vice General Li will introduce other people to her? I guess Mrs. Li will go back to Li Qian. I arranged for her to visit her."
Chen Fei was already dissatisfied with Li Qian's concealed behavior, but now that he was so provoked by Wen Yi, he was even more upset. Turning to look at Chen Bin, he said, "The exchange will be as Wen Yi said. I'll think about the specific details when I go back. I'll decide tonight. I'll leave first."
After saying that, without waiting for Chen Bin to nod, he stood up and chased after Li Qian. Wen Yi shook his head and sighed: "Tsk, tsk, it seems that he is as calm and rational as Brother Chen Fei, but he will panic when he encounters love. He doesn't even understand the principle of long nights and dreams. This love can indeed make people blind."
Chen Bin looked at Wen Yi shaking her head and muttering to herself. He pulled her and pushed her to a chair. While massaging her, he asked: "Okay, you should take care of yourself. You have only been practicing for a day." He whined and complained, "I see that your body is almost exhausted by you."
Wen Yi struggled to get up, but Chen Bin stopped him and said, "Don't move. Didn't you say that your back hurts? I'll just massage it for you."
"I'll just go back and take a nap, no need to bother."
Seeing Wen Yi acting like a piece of wood and just wanting to go back to her yard, Chen Bin had no choice but to say: "Wen Yi, I just want to stay with you for a little longer, why don't you understand? While we still have time, Time, let's spend some time together, how about I take you out for a walk? Otherwise, when we go south, you won't be able to go out and play."
Wen Yi shook his head and said, "I don't want to go out. Besides, there's nothing fun outside. I'm so tired today. I just want to go back and take a nap!"
"Then you can sleep here and have lunch with me when you wake up, okay?"
Wen Yi looked at him puzzled and asked: "What do you want to do? My presence here will not affect your handling of military affairs? You are about to go to war, why are you still in love with the girl here? This is not like you."
Chen Bin was indeed uneasy and said tentatively: "Wen Yi, can we become a real couple? I want to live with you, and I want to give you everything I have, is that okay?"
Wen Yi turned to look at the door and asked calmly: "Then can you tell me what happened? What makes you so impatient? The war is coming, so uneasy? Where is your composure? What else do you want? Don’t you want to vindicate the general’s government?”
"Of course I do, but revenge doesn't conflict with our affairs. Besides, we already did that yesterday. Why don't you just refuse?" Chen Bin said anxiously and aggrievedly.
"What's the reason? You haven't answered my question yet?"
Chen Bin looked at her and found it difficult to speak. He was afraid of irritating her so he had to change the subject and said, "Well, let's talk about it after I win this battle. The route of this march is too long. It's normal for me to feel uneasy. Why don't you stay and help?" I'll take care of it, okay?"
Wen Yi looked at Chen Bin. A woman's sixth sense told her that Chen Bin was abnormal, but he didn't want to tell her and she didn't force him. It would be better for him to hide it from her for the rest of his life.
When Chen Fei caught up with Li Qing, they were almost at the door of the house. Mother Li looked at the gate for a long time. When she saw Chen Fei, she quickly invited him to her house for dinner. It happened that she had taken a fancy to the second son of a county magistrate. Ask him about it.
It wasn't until Chen Fei sat at the dining table that he suddenly realized how reckless he was. He didn't care about it before, but how could he behave like this empty-handed now? Just as he was about to apologize, Mother Li stood up, poured him a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "Chen Fei, although you are now the general's right-hand man, and your prestige in the army is at its peak. Except for the general, I am afraid no one can compare with you, but you I grew up with Qian'er, and I have always regarded you as one of my own, so I won't hide some things from you."
Chen Fei quickly stood up and saluted: "Auntie, please speak, I am all ears."
Mother Li smiled and said: "Sit down and talk, there is no need to be formal. My Qian'er's marriage has always been a worry for me. This girl has been fond of wielding swords and guns since she was a child. Now all the women of the same age are married, but she is the only one who has been single so far. Fortunately, she has been single for a long time. The second son of the county magistrate’s family said that he has been fond of her for a long time and wants to marry our family. My husband doesn’t pay much attention to this young man’s affairs, so I just want to ask you, is this person’s character and family background acceptable?”
"Mom, why are you asking Brother Chen Fei about this?" Li Qian said in embarrassment.
Chen Fei clenched his fists tightly at this moment and stared straight at Li Qian, did he like her? Why didn't he know that there were people in the border town who dared to covet her! Seeing Li Qian standing there with a guilty conscience and keeping silent, he thought he couldn't wait for her to speak on her own, but today he couldn't let her go anymore.
Chen Fei stood up slowly, took a step back, bowed and saluted Li Qing, and said, "I have something to say to you two elders, this junior." Before he could finish speaking, he was grabbed by Li Qian: "Father and mother, you eat first. Brother Chen Fei and I have something to discuss, so I will leave now."
Li Qian used all her strength to pull him to the door. Visually, her parents couldn't hear their conversation from this distance, so she gave up and simply said: "We didn't agree to talk after a while. Really? Do you want to break your promise?"
"How long will it take?" Chen Fei asked forcefully.
"It just takes a while." Li Qian was vague.
"Oh, you know that I have been fond of you for a long time, but you don't want to tell your parents, what's the matter? You want to start chaos but give up? Or do you feel that the county magistrate's second son has a better family background than mine, and you regret it?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? I have never met him at all. If you keep doing this, I have nothing to say."
The more Mother Li thought about it, the more wrong she became. Chen Fei's expression was wrong and his way of doing things was wrong. She immediately wanted to drag Li Qing to find them. Unexpectedly, she heard Chen Fei's questioning as soon as she turned around in the corridor.
"So what do you mean? Do you have nothing to say or don't want to say it to me? Do you regret it?" Chen Fei asked, looking at Li Qian's refusal to communicate. He didn't come here today to quarrel with Li Qian. Lest things get out of hand, he turned around and planned to leave first.
Li Qian looked at Chen Fei and turned to leave, and said sarcastically: "Is that how you like me? Do we have to listen to you whenever we have disagreements? My opinion is not important, right? Since this relationship If it’s so compulsive, forget it.”
Chen Fei suddenly stopped and strode forward, hugged her and kissed her. Li Qian struggled not to comply until she tasted his tears at the corner of her mouth and was stunned.
Chen Fei smiled bitterly and said: "Li Qian, you are just relying on me to like you, so you ruin my feelings like this. When have I ever forced you? Since you were a child, why didn't I follow you? You like to practice martial arts, so I will I will be your sparring partner every day, and you will be beaten and scolded as you please; if you don’t like to stay at home, it’s not my fault for the time you sneak out of the house; if you don’t like to study, I will stay up late to help you even with your husband’s punishment. .”
Chen Bin pulled off the clothes on his shoulders with one hand and pointed at the scar and said to Li Qian: "The first time I went to the battlefield, I blocked a knife wound from your father. Everyone in the military camp said that I was very loyal. But they didn't know that since then When the old general told me that Hu Di's target was your father, I had been following him secretly. I didn't have any noble thoughts in saving him. My parents are both dead, and I don't want you to experience all the sadness I have experienced since childhood. So I can save your father on the battlefield without hesitation, just for you."
"On your thirteenth birthday, in order to buy you a hairpin, I accompanied Chen Bin to practice martial arts day and night just for the one tael of silver. The old lady arranged for the house stewards to come to my place many times, but I refused them all because I I know that the girl in my heart doesn't like the internal affairs to be too complicated. She is so simple and restless that she can't handle it. But, what did I get? It's just your light words, forget it! I just want you to be there I just admitted me in front of your parents, am I wrong? Is it worthy of your ridicule?"
In fact, Li Qian regretted it after she said it. Seeing Chen Fei crying silently, she felt even more distressed and apologized while wiping his tears: "I didn't mock you, Brother Chen Fei, don't do this. It's my fault. You Don't be angry with me, okay? I'll tell my parents later, okay?"
Seeing that Chen Fei remained silent, Li Qian buried her head on his chest and choked: "I don't blame you, it's my fault. I'm just scared. My mother suffered a lot just to be with my father. Where is my father? He started his own business and fought alone on the battlefield. Emotional matters are so complicated. I'm afraid that I won't be able to handle it. By then, our relationship will be known to everyone. What if? How will it end? "
When Chen Fei heard her crying, he hugged her with distressed arms and said, "Don't be afraid, we will always be together. Don't be afraid. I will do everything. Huh? Stop crying! I wanted to leave just now because I was afraid of myself If you can't control your temper and regret it if you say something bad, it doesn't mean that I don't want you. If you really don't want to make our relationship public, that's fine, but you are not allowed to meet those messy people, otherwise I will really Angry."
Li Qian nodded obediently in his arms and muttered: "There are no messy people, okay? That's what my mother said, and I didn't agree, so you know how to be jealous!"
