Shen Lisu saw her own expression clearly through those clear eyes.

Surprise, confusion, nervousness, and anticipation.

Surprised that Bai Qingli suddenly broke through the last barrier between the two of them.

I wonder when did he start to like me?

I was nervous because the distance between us was too close, so close that I couldn't even feel his breathing and heartbeat.

expect……

What to expect?

Shen Lisu herself doesn't know either.

"Ali, I like you."

At this moment, if it comes to love, Bai Qingli is willing to admit it, but he is afraid of scaring the girl, and also afraid that she will think he is frivolous and say the word love casually, so he can only be reserved.

"It's not like a brother to a sister, but like a man to a woman. I want to take care of you for the rest of my life, whether it's cooking for you or watching the sunrise and sunset with you. As long as it's you, I can do it."

Bai Qingli knew very well that Shen Lisu was an eagle soaring in the sky. She would never be bound or rely on him wholeheartedly, but this was how she was liked, so as long as she was happy, he would be fine with anything.

"At the beginning, because you were still young, even if I wanted to, I couldn't convince myself to be a beast. But now, everything is just right, everything is in time, I don't want to miss it again and let it go."

During the three years when Shen Lisu had no news, Bai Qingli was busy all day long. Whenever he had free time, even in his dreams, he would see Shen Lisu.

Every frown and smile is in the heart.

"So... you've always liked me too?"

Bai Qingli's affectionate confession made her voice unconsciously a little hoarse.

They tacitly agreed not to mention what happened back then. Now that it was mentioned, she realized that he refused not because he didn't like her, but because he liked her too much and was afraid that she would get hurt.

Terrible.

She was young and had nothing at the time. The Shen family was not worth mentioning to the wealthy families in Huajing. Even if the two of them were truly together, others would only say that she was shameless for trying to curry favor with the powerful at such a young age.

This was the reason why he refused.

"Yes, at first, I really just regarded you as my sister."

After all, he had taken care of Shen Lisu when she was a child, so who would have any thoughts about a baby?

Later, when Shen Lisu was sixteen years old, she came to his house. As her guardian, he had been paying attention to her growth and witnessed her transformation.

A butterfly emerges from its cocoon, shining brightly.

He could no longer look away.

"When I realized my feelings had changed, you took the initiative to confess to me. I was happy, but also worried."

Be happy that the girl you like also likes yourself.

Worried about the pressure she would have to bear if the two of them were together.

Not only the outside world, but also the Bai family.

Three years ago, Bai Qingli could not guarantee 100% submission to the Bai family.

Now, all his concerns were no longer a problem. The only problem was...she might not like him anymore.

"If love is a test, then are you willing to tell me now, am I still qualified to take the test?"

"All candidates in the world are treated equally, but can you afford the consequences?"

What Shen Lisu meant was that he could pursue her, but whether she would agree or not was not certain.

If Bai Qingli was afraid that he would lose face if he failed to catch the girl and told others about it, then it would be none of her business.

"It's as sweet as sugar."

No matter what, Bai Qingli will make Shen Lisu like him again, he is confident.

The two of them broke through that layer of paper, and the atmosphere became more ambiguous.

Perhaps because they were too close and his breathing was a little difficult, Shen Lisu reached out and pushed his shoulder, but he didn't move at all.

"You're blocking my view of TV."

Bai Qingli followed her line of sight and turned to look at the TV, which happened to be playing an idol drama with the male and female protagonists inseparable.

Shen Lisu also saw the scene through the gap, and felt her scalp tingling and her toes digging the ground.

What the hell? Is this such a coincidence?

Feeling the embarrassment of the little girl next to him, Bai Qingli put on a warm smile and turned off the TV.

Then he looked at her again, raised his body slightly, leaned over and gently kissed her forehead, and while she was stunned, he whispered in her ear.

"Ali, go back and rest early. Good night."

After saying that, Bai Qingli stood up and left like a gentleman, returning to his room first.

The empty living room seemed to be filled with something in Shen Lisu's eyes. She listened to her own breathing calmly, felt her heart pounding, and suddenly she smiled, which was soul-stirring.

This guy is just a thousand-year-old fox.

Flirt with her, then immediately withdraw, do you really think she is still the same reckless little girl?

Shen Lisu calmed herself down, closed the door for Bai Qingli, and returned home. Zhu Wenjun, who had been waiting for her, immediately stood up to greet her.

"Ms. Ali, is there still a meeting today?"

Because I was discussing cooperation with the authorities, I made an appointment with Fei He for a meeting in the evening.

"There's no rush for cooperation. We'll talk about it later. Go and have a rest first."

She hurried back from Haicheng, as did Fei He and others. Except for Zong Rong who went home early to rest due to health reasons, everyone else was busy at their respective posts.

After saying good night to each other, Shen Lisu returned to the bedroom and lay alone in the middle of the bed, looking at the ceiling, emptying her mind until she fell asleep.

Perhaps because she was too tired the day before, Shen Lisu slept until noon. When she woke up, she saw an exquisite breakfast on the table, which was obviously not Zhu Wenjun's style.

"Is this breakfast delivered to the next door?"

Shen Lisu had never formally introduced Bai Qingli to them, and usually just called him the neighbor next door.

"Yes, Sister Ali, do you want to eat now? I'll go heat it up."

Zhu Wenjun went to the company early in the morning to manage the accounts, leaving only the two siblings of the Zong family at home.

"No, it's nice cold."

The weather is hot and Shen Lisu doesn't want to eat hot food.

Fortunately, her body is in good condition now, otherwise her old dysmenorrhea problem would probably come back.

No wonder Bai Qingli has always been keeping an eye on her.

Today is a rare day off. Seeing that Zong Rong only has a few pieces of clothes, Shen Lisu takes her and Zong Qingchuan out shopping.

"Come to think of it, I still have to buy a manor. It's not convenient to always park the plane in Yunzhou."

Private jets were meant to be available at all times, but now that has lost its meaning.

"Sister Ali, are you moving?"

Ever since moving into Shen Lisu's house, Zong Rong felt so happy.

Not only did he have a new family, but his leg also had a chance to be cured because of Shen Lisu.

"Then can I still live with Sister Ali in the future?"

"Of course, you are my patient now. It is not reasonable for a patient not to follow the doctor."

Shen Lisu pinched her cheek. She had taken good care of herself during this period. Zong Rong's face became fair and tender, and she looked like a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old.

"I think I should prepare in advance."

Suddenly she remembered the nerve agent in Zong Rong. She didn't know who used it on Zong Rong and under what circumstances, but Zong Rong would definitely not be the only victim. In that case, she had to be prepared for the worst.

After all, this nerve agent does not only act on the legs.

Shen Lisu closed her eyes and thought about some possible recipes in her mind. Some medicinal ingredients were simply impossible to exist in this world, so they were directly ruled out.

"Sister Ali, there seems to be a fight going on up ahead."
