When Ren Li and Pei Jingling came downstairs and appeared in the living room, the butler was a little surprised, and before leading them to the dining room, he glanced at the western clock.
Ren Li's face was darkened a bit by the housekeeper's actions, but Pei Jingling laughed lightly.
When they arrived at the restaurant, the servants started serving dishes from the kitchen, pulled up chairs for them, and sat down face to face with Ren Li and Pei Jingling.
Ren Li thought of Bai Xutong's "Second Concubine" status, and asked the housekeeper in a low voice, "Where are the wives?"
The housekeeper stood aside and replied, "Second auntie went upstairs after she came back, saying that she had no appetite today and didn't want to eat. Third auntie and sixth auntie went out to play mahjong in the afternoon, and they haven't come back yet."
Ren Li suddenly felt a headache, Huo Qing has so many wives, doesn't he find it annoying and has no time to deal with it
Glancing at Pei Jingling who was sitting across from him, he thought to himself that he would be exhausted with only one.
Of course Ren Li wasn't stupid enough to ask and then asked the other concubines who were not mentioned what they were doing or caring about them. With so many women, Huo Qing probably didn't care much about them.
So he still maintained an indifferent look on his face, and hummed in his nose, indicating that he knew.
Sure enough, the housekeeper didn't think there was anything wrong with Ren Li's attitude, and he still stood beside him respectfully.
Because the last dungeon was the doomsday, basically it was enough to be full and eat whatever you had.
Now that these delicious and hearty meals are served, Ren Li and Pei Jingling are really hungry.
Finish a meal in peace.
Considering that the so-called "midnight execution" must be seen at night, and the last dungeon didn't take much rest, after Ren Li and Pei Jingling finished eating, they went upstairs and went back to the bedroom, intending to take a nap.
Ren Li planned to make a floor next to the bed as usual, and was about to turn around to get the quilt from the closet, when Pei Jingling pulled his arm and said, "Brother Li, this bed is very big, we can sleep together. Half of each person is enough. already."
Ren Li lowered his eyes and glanced at the bed, snorted softly, and said indifferently, "Who wants to sleep in the same bed as you are."
He said so, but he didn't move on to the next step.
A smile appeared in Pei Jingling's eyes, Brother Li really... With his character, if he thought so, he would have turned around and took the quilt long ago.
Pei Jingling looked up at him, with a well-behaved smile on his face, and said solemnly: "But it's not like the previous environment, there are servants to clean the room every day. Then my brother has to clean up the floor every day, which is very troublesome."
Ren Li nodded slightly, his expression relaxed.
Pei Jingling's eyes were curved, and she continued to persuade softly: "And didn't we rest in the same bed before? I sleep well and will never disturb my brother."
Ren Li raised his hand and pinched his cheek, and his fingers twitched the tender cheeks. He gritted his teeth with a half-smile and said, "How dare you praise yourself for being good?"
Pei Jingling raised his hand to hold Ren Li's wrist, rubbed the pulp of his finger lightly on the artery of his wrist, detected his obviously accelerated pulse, raised his eyebrows, and said in a stubborn tone: "Then brother is too embarrassed to say that he doesn't want to. ?"
Ren Li: "..."
Immediately released Pei Jingling's cheek, pulled back his hand, walked over to Pei Jingling, walked towards the bed in the center of the room, and said solemnly, "You can only rest for three or four hours now, don't say these time-wasting words, come and sleep."
Pei Jingling chuckled softly, and turned around and walked towards the bed.
Taking off his coat and shoes, he went to bed from one side of the bed, sleeping on both sides, with a distance of dozens of centimeters in the middle.
No longer trying to cheer up, after relaxing, all the sleepiness came back.
Within a few minutes after the two closed their eyes, their breathing gradually became even, and they fell into a deep sleep.
Ren Li had always been half asleep and half awake. He didn't know how long he had slept, but he vaguely felt a warmth approaching him and was trying to get into his arms.
The body has already felt the soft touch in the arms, and lightly smelled the familiar light fragrance.
Consciousness is still a bit chaotic, and he doesn't want to think too much. With his first intention, he stretched out his arms and hugged the waist of the person in his arms, completely imprisoning him in his arms.
The two of them slept more peacefully than ever.
After about three hours, Ren Li's estimated time was up, his consciousness gradually returned to the cage, and he immediately felt the existence of Pei Jingling clearly.
Half-squinting his eyes, he lowered his eyes to see Pei Jingling curled up in his arms, one hand resting on his waist, and the other tightly clutching the shirt on his chest.
And his arms are tightly around his slender and flexible waist, and his fingers are pinching the white shirt at the edge of his trousers - it seems that he wants to pull out the hem of his clothes, so that he can hug him without any obstruction...
Ren Li was completely awake in an instant, retracted his arm, placed it on his forehead, exhaled deeply, and stared at the curtain above his head without blinking.
My heart is in chaos, and I don't know whether to be glad that I woke up early or regret that I woke up early...
Pei Jingling was still in a deep sleep, but he seemed to be disturbed by Ren Li's actions, so he moved slightly.
Like a kitten, he rubbed Ren Li's chest with his cheeks with nostalgia, and hummed softly and then stopped moving.
Ren Li's throat moved slightly, his heart was pounding, and he wiped his face, trying to calm himself down.
Carefully opened Pei Jingling's hand holding his clothes, moved his body, and got out of bed.
Bending down to look at Pei Jingling's calm and well-behaved sleeping face, he still couldn't hold back, and reached out his hand to gently rub his cheek with the pulp of his fingers like a feather swipe.
Ren Li looked at him with deep eyes, a soft expression, and whispered, "If you didn't hide so many things from me, maybe we..."
After a pause, he sighed softly, "Do you know that the way you diverted my attention is actually very obvious..."
After giving him a deep look, he stood up and walked out of the bedroom, the carpet swallowing the sound of footsteps.
After closing the door, his face returned to his expressionless appearance, and when he went down to the first floor, he saw that the housekeeper had not rested.
Walking over, he asked the housekeeper, "Is the second wife asleep?"
The housekeeper was taken aback and shook his head: "Sir, this... how do I know."
Ren Li put his hands in his trouser pockets and said in a low voice, "Take me to the second wife's room and I'll take a look."
The housekeeper frowned, raised his eyes to look at Ren Li, his eyes seemed to be puzzled, and he seemed to be scrutinizing.
Ren Li ignored the deep meaning in the housekeeper's eyes, and continued to say calmly: "I left her out today, and she was pissed off. Now it's you who persuaded me to coax her, not me who took the initiative to find her, understand?"
The butler suddenly realized that this was the young marshal looking for him to go down the stairs. He thought that the young marshal didn't even know where the second wife's room was.
The housekeeper nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, I persuaded, I persuaded."
After speaking, the housekeeper led Ren Li to the second floor, successfully brought him to the door of Bai Xutong's room, and knocked on the door: "Second madam, are you resting?"
After a while, Bai Xutong opened the door and looked at Ren Li and the housekeeper standing at the door, wondering what was going on.
"Second madam, Mr. is coming to see you." The housekeeper showed a kind smile on his face and said, "Sir, don't blame me for talking too much, the second madam was also the first wife to follow you. She is beautiful and sensible. You will be more concerned about it in the future. Second wife, don't be too partial in the future."
Ren Li made an "um", stepped in, and said to the housekeeper, "I will have a good talk with my wife."
The housekeeper smiled and nodded: "That's good, sir, you're busy first, I'm going to rest too."
Ren Li responded, closed the door, and turned to look at Bai Xutong.
Bai Xutong was embarrassed by the words just now and wanted to scratch his toes, and asked, "Handsome guy, why are you looking for me?"
Ren Li didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point: "Under what circumstances have you signed a soul contract, but there is no mark on your body?"
"Ah?" Bai Xutong swept his eyes up and down, narrowed his eyes, and teased, "Handsome guy, don't you want to cheat?"
Ren Li looked indifferent and looked at her condescendingly, his eyes extremely cold.
Bai Xutong's scalp was numb when he saw it, so he quickly stopped teasing and became serious.
After thinking about it carefully, he said unsurely: "... Shouldn't this be the case?"
Ren Li frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "I want an affirmative answer."
Bai Xutong looked embarrassed, and she was not an encyclopedia. She frowned and said, "The imprint seems to be a 'portal', used to extract life, right? The biggest function of the soul contract is to exchange one life for another, even the imprint. No, how to extract life?"
"What if it has already been extracted?" Ren Li pursed his lips, "Will the mark disappear?"
Bai Xutong folded his arms and shrugged: "I really don't know about this, but this can only be a one-off, right? Who else can have two lives? Hmm... Unless it is resurrected by the game, but resurrection The points that a person needs, ghosts don’t know if they can reach…”
Bai Xutong was still talking, but Ren Li's eyes became colder and colder, and his aura became more and more gloomy and cold, full of aggression and oppression.
Bai Xutong saw Ren Li's eyes that were gradually turning blood red, and was taken aback by his terrifying, straight empty eyes, feeling that he would be killed by him without blinking an eye in the next second.
He quickly shut his mouth, took a step back in a panic, and directly brought the chair to the ground, making a loud "dong" sound.
Ren Li's consciousness was pulled back by the sudden noise, and he closed his eyes to ease the somewhat chaotic mood.
Bai Xutong couldn't wait to be a few feet away from him immediately, and while staggering back, he said with a trembling voice, "Handsome guy... Are you alright?"
Ren Li opened his eyes, looked at Bai Xutong's horrified appearance, and pursed his lips.
Sure enough, he would become "abnormal", and he wouldn't even notice it, but every time Pei Jingling felt the same.
He is pretending.
Ren Li wiped his face and restrained all his emotions. He turned around and opened the door.
Before leaving, he said to Bai Xutong in a cold voice, "Don't tell Song Rusheng that I came to find you."
Bai Xutong nodded again and again, expecting him to leave quickly.
Ren Li stood in the corridor, pressing his fingers against his throbbing temple, his eyes were deep and gloomy.
Even if he knew that Pei Jingling had concealed a lot of things, Pei Jingling's ability was not under his own, and he might not be able to discover the truth when he tried his best to conceal it.
In fact, most of the information that I have learned now is what Pei Jingling "released water" to tell him.
The most important thing is that now, I can't force him to tell the truth with a really tough attitude like I did with Bai Xutong.
I don't want to, or I'm more afraid of the consequences of doing so - afraid that he will cry, that he will be afraid of himself...
Ren Li took out the gold watch in his pocket and glanced at the time, it was about ten minutes before the clock was turned.
He let out a long sigh of relief and let out the stagnation in his chest.
He walked back to the bedroom, looked at Pei Jingling who was still asleep, sat down, patted Pei Jingling's butt across the quilt, and said softly, "Don't sleep, get up."
Pei Jingling frowned, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, she slowly opened her eyes, sleepy, blinked, and looked at Ren Li who was sitting beside the bed.
He sat up on the bed, threw himself on his back, hooked his neck from behind, rubbed his cheek lightly against his face, and said with a smile, "Brother, am I sleeping well?"
Ren Li tilted his head slightly and said coldly, "Don't be narcissistic, you have nothing to do with the word "good".
"Hurry up and get dressed, it's almost midnight."
Pei Jingling smiled, let go of his hand, got out of bed from the other side, put on his coat, and went to the bathroom to wash his face.
After coming out, he smiled at Ren Li and said, "Let's go and see what the midnight execution is."
