Sheng Ling discovered that in the past few days, Xiaodong would run to the bookstore near the elementary school every time after class. Sheng Ling thought at first that the little guy went to the bookstore to read, so he didn't think much about it.
It wasn't until she went to the bookstore to look for books that she knew the real reason.
At that time, Sheng Ling entered the bookstore and went directly to the row of bookshelves she was looking for to look for books. However, there were quite a lot of books on the bookshelves. Sheng Ling raised her head slightly and stretched out her fingers to lightly scan through the books.
"What book are you looking for, girl?" A voice suddenly came from behind the bookshelf.
The moment Sheng Ling heard the sound, she was slightly startled, and then she saw the person coming out from behind the bookshelf.
Li Yu was still holding a pile of books to be sorted in his hand. When he saw it was her, he was stunned for a moment.
Sheng Ling pursed her lips, looked at him, and didn't say anything in particular. She just told him the book she was looking for in a calm tone.
After hearing her words, Li Yu responded, found the book and handed it to her, "Are these the ones?"
Sheng Ling lowered his head, flipped through the book in his hand, and said softly, "Hmm."
She followed him to the counter with the books in her arms. Li Yu packed several books for her. Sheng Ling paid for them. Li Yu took them and put them into the paper bag where she packed the books, and then handed the paper bag to her.
Sheng Ling looked at him but didn't take it.
"Just a few books." Li Yu said.
Sheng Ling bit the soft flesh of her lip hard and said nothing, but finally took the paper bag handed over by Li Yu.
However, from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Li Yu's half-covered cuffs, which revealed a small section of skin due to handing something over, and a vague scar, which made him a little scared.
When Sheng Ling took the paper bag, her little hand suddenly held his hand.
Li Yu's eyelashes twitched slightly and he opened his lips: "Princess?"
Without waiting for him to ask, Sheng Ling lifted up his sleeves, and then clearly saw the shocking scars on his wrists where stitches had been stitched.
But Sheng Ling just stared at it, and Li Yu frowned and pulled off the cuffs again. Sheng Ling grabbed his sleeve again without saying a word, and Li Yu pressed her little hand with a slight force. Looking down at her, his eyes were dark and oppressive.
He said, "Princess, I'm not free right now."
Sheng Ling suddenly took her little hand out of his, turned around and left.
When she left, she remembered that Li Yu hid her in a haystack and ran out to attract the enemy. She only knew that he was wounded by an arrow, but she knew nothing about how many injuries he suffered. .
It was already approaching dusk when Li Yu came out of the bookstore.
But as soon as he took a few steps out, he paused slightly.
It wasn't very far. He saw Sheng Ling sitting on a small stone stool outside a closed shop across the street. She lowered her head and sat in the same obedient and quiet posture as usual. Maybe she felt very cold. Her two The calves are held tightly together, and the toes of the shoes are downward, slightly touching the ground.
It was so cold, but she seemed to have been sitting there for a long time.
Sheng Ling vaguely felt that she was being watched. She looked up and saw Li Yu standing across the street looking at her.
Sheng Ling pursed her lips and stood up.
At the same time, Li Yu also walked towards her.
"Are you waiting for me?" Li Yu saw her ears were red and couldn't help but wanted to reach out and cover her, but he had to hold back.
Sheng Ling did not answer his question directly, but said coldly: "Are you free now?"
