(ps: To reassure everyone, here’s a spoiler: King An will die and the second lady will become a widow. The report is over!)
(PS: I wanted to surprise everyone, but ended up being shocked. It’s a sin!)
Chu Li stepped onto the boat.
The boat was floating on the water, and the gentle breeze was blowing on his face. His blue shirt was fluttering, and he was thoughtful.
He could travel through the void so close to the end of the world, and he could directly visit Yushi Island, but he almost didn't do this in the Duke's Mansion, not wanting anyone to know.
The islands in Yiguogong Mansion are separated by water, which makes them safer. If you know that you are so far away and ignore the lake, you will definitely be worried and sleep uneasily.
Chu Li guessed that the second lady invited him over this time to talk about going to Prince An's Mansion.
The boat was as fluttering as leaves, but its speed was extremely fast. It arrived at Yushi Island in a short while.
A pretty maid was waiting on the shore. When she saw him coming, she saluted: "Mr. Chu, please follow me."
Chu Li nodded.
The delicate maid Pingping led the way, and Chu Li said softly: "How is the second young lady feeling?"
"Miss, she has been depressed." The delicate maid lowered her voice: "It seems to be because of the manager."
Chu Li nodded and said no more.
The two quickly entered the sea of flowers and came to the small pavilion in the center.
The pavilion is surrounded by white gauze curtains.
The white gauze floats gently in the wind, like mist and smoke.
Among the curtains, Xiao Shi was dressed in a white robe, sitting in front of a low table with his hands down, in a daze. The Yao Qin flashed with a soft luster, which was extraordinary.
"Miss, Manager Chu is here." The delicate maid reported softly.
Xiao Shi turned around and waved.
Chu Li entered the small pavilion, surrounded by gauze curtains. There is a sense of tranquility.
"Sit down." Xiao Shi pointed to the embroidered pier opposite.
Chu Li clasped his fists and sat down, looking at Xiao Shi quietly.
Xiao Shi's facial features are as beautiful as a dream. One can't help but admire the wonder of nature for creating such a beautiful woman.
Xiao Shi sighed: "Chu Li. Do you want to go to Prince An's Mansion with me?"
Chu Li nodded.
"Do you really want to go with me?" Xiao Shi said.
Chu Li said: "Yes."
≡≡，
Xiao Shi shook her head lightly: "I don't want you to go!"
Her bright eyes were like autumn water, and they fell quietly on Chu Li's face, observing his expression: "You saved me twice, and I don't want to say thank you to you."
He was devoted to himself, and he sacrificed his life twice because of love. If he thanked her, he would appear polite and distant, which would hurt his heart.
I want to live up to his infatuation.
I have experienced too much pain and wandered between life and death countless times. His heart is cold and numb, he is young but his heart is old, he cannot fall in love at first sight, and he cannot love others. Even though Chu Li sacrificed his life to save her, his own heart was only slightly moved, but he was not really moved.
A man who is ten times more handsome than Chu Li and ten times more talented and intelligent appears. I won't be tempted either.
It can only be blamed on fate's trick. When Chu Li met him, his heart was already dead.
This is too unfair to Chu Li.
I also want to have him by my side, so that I can feel at ease and not be so lonely and hard. But she gritted her teeth and refused to let go no matter how much her elder brother and younger sister persuaded her. She just didn't want Chu Li to follow her. This is too cruel to him.
Chu Li said: "Second Miss, I think you may have misunderstood."
Xiao Shi looked at him with eyes like autumn water.
Chu Li sighed secretly.
This is a pair of eyes that can make all men get lost. Not many men can say no!
Chu Li calmed down and said with a smile: "It's just my duty to save the young lady. I just go all out, it's not a personal feeling."
"Oh—" Xiao Shi's bright eyes were still looking at him quietly.
Chu Li knew that she was determined not to give up, so he was dubious and continued: "Actually, it's not the young lady that I like."
Xiao Shiming's eyes never blinked, trying to tell the truth from the lies.
Could it be that he was afraid of feeling guilty, so he said that on purpose
Even if he is in pain, he must accompany him and be with him. He loves him too deeply. In order to convince himself, he must be able to do anything and say anything!
Chu Li looked calm.
Their eyes intertwined in the air.
"Then who do you like?" Xiao Shi said lightly.
Chu Li hesitated and said nothing.
Xiao Shi said: "You're not fooling me, are you?"
Chu Li shook his head.
Xiao Shi showed a smile: "Then tell me, who is it?"
Chu Li said: "Can the second lady keep it a secret and not mention it to the second person?"
"He seems to be a great person," Xiao Shi pursed her lips and chuckled, "Okay, I'll keep it a secret for you and never mention it to anyone else!"
She knew that she was withdrawn and didn't like people. She liked to be alone and hated others hanging in front of her. Chu Li was an exception, and she was probably the least wary of him.
She felt very relaxed in front of Chu Li.
Chu Li said slowly: "It's Miss Third."
"Huh-?" Xiao Shiming's eyes widened.
Chu Li said: "I like the third lady."
Xiao Shi frowned and stared at him: "Little sister?"
She couldn't believe it.
The younger sister is as beautiful as herself, but her temperament has lost a bit of her beauty. She is indifferent and aloof from the world.
What men like is a woman who is as gentle as water, with a temperament similar to his own, and a girl who is as cold and unfeminine, so men can only forget about her and stay away.
Chu Li nodded slowly: "Yes."
"Do you really like my little sister?" Xiao Shiming's eyes remained unblinking.
Chu Li said: "I like the third lady."
"Are you kidding?" Xiao Shi said.
The younger sister's mental method of cultivation is to forget love and cut off the ties of love. When she first chose to practice, she had already made up her mind to be alone for the rest of her life, not to be burdened by the world, to pursue the ultimate level of martial arts, and to become a master in the realm of gods.
If Chu Li really likes his little sister, it is doomed to be in vain.
Chu Li said solemnly: "How can I talk nonsense about this kind of thing!"
Xiao Shi was still dubious.
It's not clear from his expression whether he really likes his little sister, or he says it deliberately to make himself give up and feel less guilty.
Her mood was inexplicably complicated and irritable, and she said calmly: "My little sister is pure and pure. She is indeed lovable, but it is impossible for you two."
Chu Li nodded: "Yes, the identities are different."
Xiao Shi waved her hand to interrupt him: "It's not a matter of identity."
Chu Li said with a smile: "I think it's still a matter of status. If I can make contributions, I will be worthy of the third lady in the future!"
"You have your own island, right?" Xiao Shi said.
Chu Li nodded lightly.
"Do you know what this means?" Xiao Shi said.
Chu Li shook his head.
Xiao Shi smiled half-heartedly: "It means your current status is not inferior to ours. Except for the eldest brother who will be the Duke of the country in the future, our three siblings are all island owners. You are also the island owner, and you are on an equal footing with us, so you are now If you are worthy of my little sister, you don’t have to make achievements anymore.”
He still showed off his lies, and everything he said was ultimately to convince himself to agree to go to Prince An's Mansion with him.
When he says he likes his little sister, he may be half telling the truth, and the other half is just to keep him company.
Chu Li sighed: "Second Miss, I want to go to Prince An's Mansion to have a long experience."
"This sentence seems to be true!" Xiao Shi hummed.
Chu Li said: "Prince An's Mansion is not ours. Intrigues are inevitable. I can help a little if I go there... I have no ill feelings towards you, Miss Second, so don't worry, don't think too much!"
Xiao Shi rolled her eyes at him and hummed, "It seems I'm not as good as my little sister."
Chu Li smiled awkwardly and did not deny it.
"I'm just being sentimental!" Xiao Shi waved her hands and hummed, "Okay, go ahead!"
Chu Li cupped his fists and saluted, then floated away. (To be continued.)uw
