Due to health reasons, Su Lingyue cannot go out in the next few days. Yan Qing and Yun Ting are in charge of matters in the mansion, and the ten brothers from Zhuangzi are in charge of security.

Li Jing had nothing to do and thought of the chickens in the yard of Wuyi Lane.

Although we left enough food and water when we left, the weather in the past two days was not very good. The wind was howling and the cold was biting.

I don't know what happened to them.

She took off her black guard robe and put on the goose yellow brocade long coat with dark patterns and fur inlay that Su Lingyue had given her. She simply tied her hair into a bun at the back of her head with a silver hairpin and put on the fox fur cloak that Su Lingyue had given her. The howling wind outside didn't seem so cold at all.

She rode her horse to the courtyard outside Wuyi Lane, and her heart tightened after she dismounted.

The lock on the courtyard gate was missing.

My heartbeat suddenly quickened and my breathing became rapid.

She raised her white hand, stopped in front of the door and hesitated for a moment, then knocked.

"dong dong dong"

No reply.

She was about to knock on the door again when she suddenly heard footsteps approaching from inside.

My heart tightened again.

Is he back?

Li Jing's pretty face was tense as she stared at the gate of the yard without blinking.

The door slowly opened, and what appeared through the crack was indeed Li Qingfeng's gentle face.

After not seeing him for more than a month, he seemed to have lost some weight and his jawline was more prominent.

He was wearing a dark blue cotton jacket, his hair was loose, and the hair on top of his head was combed back and pinned with a wooden hairpin.

He is tall and slender, standing there like a leisurely person, which is consistent with his identity as a painter.

Seeing that the person at the door was Li Jing, Li Qingfeng's eyes suddenly brightened up, with a smile on his face and the corners of his lips slightly raised.

Li Jing's heart trembled when she saw this, but she showed no expression on her face. She looked straight at Li Qingfeng, and some anger inexplicably surged in her heart.

She didn't say anything either, just looked at Li Qingfeng sternly to see what he had to say.

Li Qingfeng didn't say anything either. He raised his hand, grabbed Li Jing's wrist, pulled her into the yard, and then closed the door.

Li Jing glared at him, but he didn't get angry. He curled his lips into a smile and then hugged Li Jing tightly in his arms.

Although they were wearing thick cotton clothes, Li Jing could still feel that their chests were rising and falling violently.

Her breathing became rapid and her cheeks gradually became hot.

Although she is over 20 years old, this is the first time she has been hugged by a man like this.

"Li Qingfeng, let me go!" Li Jing said harshly, standing there stiffly.

After Li Jing finished speaking, a while passed before Li Qingfeng slowly let her go.

"Aqing, long time no see." Li Qingfeng's chest rose and fell slightly, and his voice was soft.

"Where is your hometown? Why did you take so long?" Li Jing calmed down and asked him coldly.

"Ah Qing, are you missing me?"

Li Qingfeng stood in front of Li Jing, with the corners of his lips raised and his eyes smiling. He looked straight at Li Jing, making her heart beat fast.

She turned aside and took a few steps towards the chicken coop, feeling very angry.

"Who missed you? I just happened to pass by and saw your chickens were almost dying of starvation and thirst, so I had to take care of them for so long. But you are so leisurely that you took so long to come back! As soon as you came back, you made fun of me!"

"Sorry, something really delayed me." Li Qingfeng said with a chuckle.

"Don't apologize! I feel relieved now that you're back. I don't have to help you take care of those chickens in the future! You can feed them yourself!"

Li Jing was about to leave after saying this.

Li Qingfeng grabbed her arm, walked up to her, bowed his head and apologized with complete sincerity.

"I was wrong, I won't do it again. Let me make amends today and cook for you. There are some sugar-roasted chestnuts I just bought. Come in first."

Li Qingfeng coaxed her, but Li Jing kept a straight face and said nothing, allowing Li Qingfeng to pull her into the house.

There was a stove next to the table, and on the stove there was an iron net with a pile of chestnuts on it. The chestnuts were opened, revealing the golden flesh inside.

Li Qingfeng pulled her to sit down, took a few chestnuts and started peeling them. After a while, he had peeled several chestnuts.

He smiled and took Li Jing's hand and put the golden flesh into Li Jing's hand.

"Eat quickly, it's still hot." Li Qingfeng looked at Li Jing and said gently.

Li Jing picked up a chestnut with a stern face, put it into her mouth and chewed it carefully.

Li Qingfeng looked at her with a smile and poured her a cup of hot tea.

"I really had no choice these days and was delayed for a long time. I was also worried that if you didn't come, the chickens would die. Fortunately, I made the right bet." Li Qingfeng explained with a smile.

Li Jing swallowed the chestnut in her mouth, took a sip of hot tea, and then spoke in a muffled voice.

"If you leave without saying goodbye again, I won't take care of the chickens for you. Whether they live or die depends entirely on their luck!"

"Yes, I understand." Li Qingfeng responded with a chuckle.

After coaxing the man, Li Qingfeng went out to buy vegetables, and Li Jing walked around the house.

Suddenly, she remembered the portrait she had seen in Li Qingfeng's bedroom before.

She walked in and saw that the painting in the porcelain jar was still there.

She unfolded all the paintings, placed them on the table, and sat there waiting for Li Qingfeng with confusion.

When Li Qingfeng returned to the yard after buying vegetables, he saw the painting on the table and Li Jing looking at him with a scrutinizing expression.

"What's going on?" Li Jing asked him in a questioning tone.

Li Qingfeng was not surprised at all that Li Jing saw the painting.

"I'll cook first, and I'll tell you while we eat."

As he was about to carry the dishes to the kitchen, he suddenly remembered something after taking a few steps, turned around and said, "Remember to roll up the painting after you finish looking at it, it will be difficult to deal with if it gets dirty."

Li Jing was speechless. The person in Li Qingfeng's painting was her, and he did it without her consent.

Judging from Li Qingfeng's tone, this portrait seems to be his.

The scream of a chicken was heard in the yard. Thinking of Li Qingfeng's cooking skills, Li Jing's depression was reduced a little.

She rolled up all the paintings and put them back into the porcelain jar.

After putting the painting away, she sat by the stove and ate chestnuts.

In less than half an hour, Li Qingfeng had prepared all the meals.

Three dishes, a soup and steaming white rice were served.

Smelling the tempting aroma, Li Jing's depression was swept away. After Li Qingfeng sat down, she picked up her chopsticks and began to taste the long-lost delicious food.

I have to say that Li Qingfeng is sometimes quite irritating, but his cooking skills are really good.

The two didn't talk much while they were eating. Li Jing ate by herself, and Li Qingfeng would occasionally pick up some food for her.

After eating, Li Jing put down the bowl and chopsticks and looked at Li Qingfeng.

Seeing this, Li Qingfeng also put down his chopsticks, looked at Li Jing and smiled, then began to explain.

"One time, I passed by Wuyi Lane and saw you fighting with a kid in the lane. Although the other kid was a boy, you were more powerful. You were threatening like a little wild cat, so awesome!"

"So you started painting my portrait?"

"No, later I saw you beat up someone who didn't pay for chestnuts, and I thought you were funny."

"and then?"

"Then, something happened to your family, and I didn't know where you went. I bought this yard, and those paintings were painted after I bought the yard."

Li Jing's heart trembled slightly, finding it unbelievable.

Someone had observed her so closely and she didn't even know it!

"You weren't that old at that time, how could you have the money to buy a yard!"

Li Jing still looked at Li Qingfeng with scrutiny, but there was some inexplicable emotion in her eyes.

Li Qingfeng lowered his eyes and chuckled, "I just got married. I happened to have some silver in my hand, so I bought it."

Li Jing was speechless. She didn't expect that this person could hide so well!

Li Jing felt mixed emotions. Looking at Li Qingfeng with a playful look on his face, she couldn't help but glare at him.

"I was only thirteen!"

"Ah."

"You are such a pervert!"

"Yes."

"I won't consider anything else until my brother's revenge is achieved!"

……

"it is good."

Hearing Li Jing's softened voice, Li Qingfeng lowered his eyes and curled his lips in a smile, with an unclear emotion in his eyes.

After listening to Li Qingfeng answering all the doubts in Li Jing's mind, the barriers in her heart gradually disappeared. Looking at his haggard appearance, she felt very confused and indescribably uncomfortable.

"What have you been doing these days? How did you get yourself into this state?" Li Jing looked at Li Qingfeng in confusion and asked.

Li Qingfeng looked down at himself, confused, "Except for being a little thinner due to all the traveling, I am no different from before!"

Li Jing asked with some concern, "More than a little, didn't you go to see a doctor?"

Li Qingfeng smiled and said, "Ah Qing, are you worried about me?"

Li Jing looked at Li Qingfeng speechlessly. She was asking serious questions, but he avoided the question.

"No, I just asked casually. You can tell me if you want to." Li Jing glanced at him unhappily, stood up and looked away, walked under the eaves, grabbed a handful of sorghum and walked towards the chicken coop.

She was feeding the chickens when Li Qingfeng followed her out, stood beside her, and watched her feed the chickens quietly.

When the chickens in the chicken coop saw the sorghum being scattered, they huddled together and clucked, scrambling to eat the sorghum on the ground.

Li Qingfeng looked at Li Jing steadily, and a beautiful picture formed in his mind.

"I came all the way back from my hometown, and I'm just a little tired from the journey."

Li Qingfeng stood beside Li Jing and explained softly.

"I'm not worried, I just asked casually."

Li Jing breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly, clapping her hands without looking at Li Qingfeng, "Since you're back, I'll leave. I won't come over for the next few days. Take care of yourself."

After saying that, she left the yard, and Li Qingfeng watched her leave.
