"Tsk, if you don't want to show it to me, then don't show it. Why are you making it so mysterious?"

Lin Yanyu grumbled unhappily.

Suddenly, he said, "You can't write, and you're afraid that I'll see and laugh at you."

Li Yanqi handed the note in his hand to the stall owner, came over to grab her hand, and gently bumped Lin Yanyu's forehead with his head.

"Who are you looking down on? Although, although I admit that I am a layman, I also know some words that I can write, okay?"

"Oh? Who said that you had to learn the Thousand Character Classic before you could propose marriage? Have you learned all of it now?"

Lin Yanyu touched her forehead which was hit and deliberately insulted him.

Maybe because there were too many people just now, the pomegranate flower hairpin on Lin Yanyu's head was crooked. She didn't know it herself. She was still puffing up her fair and tender cheeks, and questioning Li Yanqi in a reproachful manner.

Li Yanqi was touched by his cuteness. He smiled and reached out to help her fix it, teasing her: "I don't know who said that. Anyway, it wasn't me who said that."

"Don't try to cheat. I will supervise you from now on."

Lin Yanyu had already imagined Li Yanqi's teaching plan in her mind.

"Okay, okay, little housekeeper."

Suddenly, Li Yanqi took her hand, ran forward a few steps, came to a small stall selling candied haws, and bought two strings of crystal clear candied haws.

Lin Yanyu took the candied haws and took a bite. The sweet and sour taste danced on the tip of her tongue, sweet and appetizing.

Li Yanqi held her waist, and the two of them ate while watching the lanterns. Several laughing children ran past them, and Lin Yanyu turned her head to look at Li Yanqi.

Li Yanqi was also looking at her. For no reason, the two of them smiled at each other.

"The rich man Wang's family is setting off fireworks!"

Someone shouted and the crowd rushed in one direction.

Lin Yanyu's heart moved, she grabbed Li Yanqi's hand, and ran forward with the crowd.

But there were too many people, three layers inside and three layers outside, surrounding the fireworks platform. Lin Yanyu couldn't even see what was going on inside even if she stood on tiptoe.

She said somewhat disappointedly: "We will be able to see the fireworks when they are launched into the sky."

Li Yanqi held her waist with his hand and whispered in her ear, "Look at your husband."

He took Lin Yanyu with him and walked out of the crowd and to the outermost layer of the crowd.

The two stood under a Bodhi tree on the side of the road. The tree was a hundred years old and as thick as two adult men could hug together. It had thick branches and tangled roots.

Li Yanqi held Lin Yanyu in his arms, took a deep breath and jumped up, landing on the thick branches of the Bodhi tree. He brushed off the dead leaves on the branches, held her and sat down. The best thing was that this angle was facing the platform for setting off fireworks.

Lin Yanyu was extremely surprised. She looked at him with sparkling eyes and asked, "How did you find this place?"

Li Yanqi looked at her with a cocky sidelong look, very proud.

"Don't you think about who I am, your husband? There is no place in Yunlong Town that I don't know."

There was a sound of "Bang!"

Lin Yanyu pointed in the direction of the fireworks stand and shouted, "Look! Li Yanqi!"

Li Yanqi looked in the direction Lin Yanyu pointed.

The dazzling silver ball of light flew into the air and suddenly exploded into a sky full of stars, and the crowd exclaimed in amazement from time to time.

He only glanced at it once before looking away.

Looking at the girl next to him, the fireworks bloomed with the most brilliant colors in Lin Yanyu's dark eyes, making everything pale in comparison.

Li Yanqi couldn't hold back the impulse in his heart. He hugged her slender waist, but he was still not satisfied. She was in his arms, but he still felt it was not enough.

He had clearly been secretly watching her for so many years, but he had always refrained from appearing in front of her.

He has been in the market for so many years that he knows about the affairs between men and women. He has also heard various men in the market joking around, but he has no real feeling about it.

But ever since he got married, he felt like he was sick. Whenever he saw her, he wanted to merge with her, and the hole in his heart seemed like it would never be filled.

"Can you kiss me?"

He still couldn't help but express his desire.

Lin Yanyu came back to her senses and looked into his focused eyes, which were filled with desire. She slid along his straight nose to his delicate lip beads and faced her own heart for the first time.

Say, "Yes."

She hugged the broad shoulders back and kissed him gently. She had never actively kissed anyone else, so she didn't know how to do it, so she just kept pressing her lips against his.

She bit it lightly with her teeth, opened her eyes, and saw Li Yanqi looking at her with a smile.

"Silly goose."

Li Yanqi's mumbling disappeared between their lips.

He tightened his arms and took the initiative.

Lin Yanyu was the one who took the initiative at the beginning, but she couldn't resist Li Yanqi's lingering breath.

Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore and fell into his arms, slowly calming her breathing.

"Live with Zhizhi for the rest of my life."

"?"

"My wish."

On the way home hand in hand, Li Yanqi was unusually shy. He held Lin Yanyu's hand obediently and didn't make trouble for her.

When the two of them reached the door of their home and took out the key to open the door, Ma Xigui and Chen Ermu, who were squatting at the door, suddenly stood up, scaring Lin Yanyu.

Li Yanqi frowned and stood in front of her.

"Why are you looking for me so late?"

Ma Xigui looked at Lin Yanyu apologetically: "I'm sorry, sister-in-law."

Lin Yanyu knew that they still came to Li Yanqi at such a late hour, so there must be some urgent matter that they could not decide.

He smiled at the two of them and said, "It's okay. I'm here to look for your eldest brother."

"Yes, County Magistrate Dong is looking for you urgently. He is waiting at the government office."

Lin Yanyu turned around and patted Li Yanqi's arm.

"Then go quickly."

Li Yanqi held her hand, turned around and said to his two brothers, "Wait for me at the door, I'll tell you later."

He sent Lin Yanyu to the bedroom.

"I'll call Mrs. Liu to accompany you, and leave Ermu to guard the door. If I come back too late, you can go to bed first and don't have to wait for me."

"Okay, go quickly. Don't keep Magistrate Dong waiting anxiously. Be careful."

Li Yanqi kissed her on the forehead and left the room.

*

Li Yanqi frowned slightly, reached out to pick off the Bodhi leaf on the hem of his clothes, looking unhappy.

"What is so urgent?"

"Something bad has happened, big brother. The Yin family, who run the rice business, was killed on Qingshan Road when they were transporting the last batch of rice back to the county before the New Year."

Li Yanqi paused, his brows relaxed, and turned to look at Ma Xigui.

"Who did it? Where are the Yin family father and son?"

"I don't know. They took a shortcut through a small path. All the people who were escorting the rice and grain died. The Yin family father and son were also inside. All the things were gone."

Ma Xigui said with some emotion: "I don't know what kind of gods and Buddhas the Yin family has offended. Madam Yin took Miss Yin back to her maternal home. It is said that they encountered a pack of wolves on the way. Madam Yin was bitten and there was not a single piece of good flesh on her body. Miss Yin's body has not been found. I don't know whether she is alive or dead."

Li Yanqi narrowed her eyes and thought, "...Yin family?"

"Now, all the wealthy businessmen in the county are in the county government office. County Magistrate Dong, that idiot, can't make up his mind, so they asked me to invite you to the county government office to discuss things."

Li Yanqi thought for a moment, raised his thin lips, and looked in the direction of the county government office in the night.

"Okay, it's really easy to get it. Let's go to the county government office to see my money bag."
