Hong Yan returned to the study after class, and was not surprised to see Shen Xie at all.He went to the desk and sorted out the books: "Let's talk. What's the matter."

"I went to the bookstore to read it yesterday." Shen Xi sat down and told what he saw yesterday and his decision, and then asked, "So I want you to draw a few pictures to see the effect. I don't know anyone else who is good at drawing , I can only find you. If you don’t want to, you can introduce someone to me.”

Hong Yan looked up at Shen Hao: "You can be sure that I will definitely agree when you come. Even if you don't agree, you will find a way to make me agree."

"Oh, you understand me." Shen Xi didn't feel ashamed at all when his thoughts were seen through, and he laughed loudly, "Sure enough, he is a good friend."

Sighing helplessly, Hong Yan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, it's okay if I take the time to draw a few pictures. Since you decided to spend [-]% to improve the quality of the book, I will also contribute [-]%. I can't let you work hard alone. Then come to me and complain."

Shen Xi opened his arms excitedly and rushed towards Hong Yan, Hong Yan hurriedly pushed away: "What do you want to do? You're disgusting, go away."

"What, what's the point of hugging one." Shen Yu pouted unhappy, and then remembered the past, "When I came, I saw someone walking around outside the school, and that person ran away as soon as he saw me. The back looks familiar , I couldn't remember who it was..."

"Who else can it be? Of course it's a villager." Hong Yan picked up a book and flipped through it randomly, looking a little nervous, "It should be to watch the children study, or to learn secretly. You worry so much What are you doing, are you in a hurry?"

Looking at Hong Yan, Shen Xi smiled indifferently: "That's right, I'm not too busy, so why worry about it."

"Speaking of this..." Hong Yan thought for a while and said seriously, "Recently, Qiao Ke's second elder brother often comes to the school, and sometimes I saw him walking with Wang Xiaoyu and his two brothers. He might not ask for it because of the rumors before. What are you doing? Pay attention."

"Second brother?" Shen Yu asked uncertainly, "Isn't it. How long ago did that happen, and I have drawn a clear line."

"Who knows what he thinks." Hongyan reminded, "He owes Qiao Ke three years. As a younger brother, do you think he really can't do anything?"

This... Shen Xi is really not sure.Originally, the matter of Lu Erniang is over, please don't make any more messes.Why is it so difficult to live a peaceful life?Shen Hao suddenly felt a headache: "Okay, I will pay more attention."

That's what I said, but after Shen Yu was very busy, I didn't have time to care about Qiao Jin's affairs at all.He went to the bookstore to discuss the revision of the edition with Master Yu, and spent the whole day in it watching the progress, and sometimes he couldn't eat.When Hong Yan sent the pictures, he would go to have a look, seeing that the quality of the books improved little by little, and the sales were getting better and better.For the first time, he felt that Shen Xi was not incompetent, but rather unwilling to do it most of the time.

To put it bluntly is lazy.Busy until the end of the month, things gradually got on the right track, and Shen Xi was finally able to catch his breath.Qiao Ke felt sorry for Shen Hao's exhaustion, and every night when Shen Hao came back, he would help Shen Hao squeeze his shoulders and massage his legs.After being busy for half a month, Shen Xi finally had time to go back to the village.

Back in Wuhu Village, Shen Xi stood in the yard and took a deep breath. It's better to have a leisurely life.Qiao Ke went into the house to pack up his things, and his uncle didn't know they were coming back today, so he went out to buy more vegetables.Dr. Qiao was making medicine in the house and had no time to care about other things.

Liufeng unloaded the carriage and prepared to serve the horse.Suddenly there was a woman's cry, and Shen Yu turned around to see Lu Erniang standing outside the courtyard with a basket.Seeing Lu Erniang, Shen Xi just remembered about Qiao Jin, so something really happened, right?

Walking over, Shen Xi invited Lu Erniang into the room: "Sister Yi, come in and talk about anything."

Lu Erniang looked over Shen Xi's shoulder at Qiao Ke who just came out of the house, and shook her head slightly: "No, I'll just stand outside the house and say."

Following Lu Erniang's line of sight, Shen Xi looked back and saw Qiao Ke standing at the door, and felt a little embarrassed. It would be difficult to be in front of Qiao Ke if the matter was related to the second brother.Shen Hao smiled and introduced: "Qiao Ke, she is my righteous sister Lu Erniang. Righteous sister, he is my husband."

"Er Niang is bothering you a lot." Lu Er Niang pursed her lips and nodded with a smile, "I'm really sorry."

Lu Erniang's politeness and gentleness hurt Qiao Ke's heart. When he saw her standing with Shen Hao, he couldn't help but think of the previous rumors.Qiao Ke forced a smile: "What are you doing standing outside, come in if you have something to say. I'm still busy in the house, so I won't entertain you."

After speaking, Qiao Ke turned and entered the house.He rushed into the house and closed the door, sitting on the bed and clasping his hands nervously.Full of anticipation in his heart, Qiao Ke kept looking at the door with wet eyes, wishing that Shen Xi would leave Lu Erniang and come in to comfort him and explain to him.At this time, Qiao Ke didn't care about hospitality or generosity at all, he just wanted to stand beside him for no reason.

Seeing that Qiao Ke entered the room and seemed to be fine, Shen Hao smiled and asked, "What do you want from me? Is there any trouble?"

Liu Feng, who was combing the horse's mane, glanced at it and pricked up his ears to listen.You can't let the young master do anything stupid.

Lu Erniang smiled and handed the basket in her hand, "Ever since we became brothers and sisters, Erniang has never come to visit. The hen has laid a few eggs today, and I'm here to pick up the child and bring it to my brother-in-law. It's not worth much money, I hope my brother-in-law won't despise it."

Shen Xi took the basket in a daze: "Just for this? Is there any trouble please ask me for help?"

Hesitant to speak, Lu Erniang pursed her lips subconsciously: "I don't have anything to ask my brother-in-law for help. I just come here and walk around."

Now Shen Xi doesn't understand what's going on, is it really because of something wrong with the second brother?Since Erniang Lu didn't say anything, he would be able to find out after inquiring, so why bother a woman: "Okay then. I'll accept the eggs, why don't you come in and sit around?"

"No." Lu Erniang saluted, "Erniang still has something to do, so I'll take my leave first."

"I'll see you off." Shen Xie escorted Lu Erniang to the door, and then entered the room with a basket.Putting the basket on the table, Shen Hao opened it to have a look. He thought it was just a few eggs, but he didn't expect that there were not only eggs, but also various fruits and vegetables.No wonder it's heavy.

Not knowing why Lu Erniang came this time, Shen Hao went into the house with a basket and planned to discuss it with Qiao Ke, don't really be the second brother who harassed orphans and widows for the bigger things of sesame and mung beans.Oh, what are these things.

"Qiao Ke, Er Niang brought a lot of things." Shen Xie opened the door and entered the room, seeing Qiao Ke's red eyes closed his mouth.

Hastily put down his things and sat down next to Qiao Ke, Shen Hao asked with concern: "What's the matter? It's all right, are you crying?"

It's okay if Shen Xi doesn't say anything, but Qiao Ke feels even more wronged when he talks about it, and tears can't help but fall down.Shen Hao suddenly panicked, when had he seen Qiao Ke like this, even if the days were hard before, Qiao Ke was strong and carried it, what happened?

"What's wrong? Tell me." Shen Yu reached out to wipe Qiao Ke's tears, "Stop crying, it makes me panic."

"I know I'm not good enough, and I can't compare to others in everything." Qiao Ke reached out to wipe away tears, but wiped more and more, "If you already have someone you like, why did you provoke me? You like her, marrying her is , why do you want to marry me?"

Shen Hao didn't understand at all: "Who do I like? Besides, I didn't want to embarrass you when I married you."

The grievance that had been suppressed for a long time broke out in an instant, and Qiao Ke opened Shen Hao's hand: "You don't need to think about me. I would rather you ignore me than you marry me but think about others. I can bear that you don't touch me after marriage. I……"

"Don't cry." Shen Xi wiped away Qiao Ke's tears with distress, "I won't touch you, I hope you will meet someone you like in the future..."

"The person I like is you!" Qiao Ke stared at Shen Yu with tears in his eyes, and finally shouted out the words from the bottom of his heart, "The person I like is you."

Shen Xi was stunned, he never expected to hear Qiao Ke's confession.He is more than a mess now, he is a mess.Shen Hao couldn't figure it out: "Why do you like me? I... I... Well, I'll go out for a while. Calm down."

After finishing speaking, Shen Xi walked away as if fleeing.Qiao Ke saw Shen Xi running away, lying on the bed crying heartbreakingly, everything was over...

Shen Hao, who was so messed up and didn't know what to do, wandered around, but couldn't figure out how Qiao Ke would like him.He felt that he was flawed, what was so cute about him?The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't figure it out, Shen Xi wandered to the school, went to the study and sat in a daze.

When Hong Yan came in, she took a second look at Shen Yu's dazed look: "What's the matter? Look at your listless look."

Frowning to the point of annoyance, Shen Xi asked, "You finished teaching today? Come talk to me."

Having never seen Shen Xi like this before, Hong Yan thought that something serious happened, so she postponed the afternoon class.Sitting in Hong Yan's carriage, Shen Xi returned to the county seat.The two went to the red house, sat at the table drinking and talking.Hong Yan poured wine for Shen Xi: "You look like the sky is falling."

"The sky is not falling." Shen Xi didn't drink much, but he was even more drunk than before, as if he wished he was drunk, "Look, the sky is still there."

"Since the sky hasn't fallen, what's going on with you?" Hong Yan took a sip and guessed, "It's related to Qiao Ke?"

Shen Xi was silent, and then drank the wine in his glass in one gulp: "Old Hong, do you think I have a lot of problems?"

Hearing Shen Hao's different address for him, Hong Yan raised his eyebrows.Looking at Shen Xi, he nodded and said, "It's quite a lot."

"Hehehe, since I have so many problems, how could he like me? Don't you think so?" Shen Yan frowned, more and more confused about how things could be like this, "It's not good who he likes, why does he like me? I just want to repay his life-saving grace and let him live a happy life, and I am satisfied. But why is it me who he likes?"

She probably understood what was going on, but Hong Yan was puzzled: "Why can't I like you? Do you not have the confidence to give him happiness?"

Dazed for a moment, Shen Hao continued to drink: "Because I am different from you. I don't know why I came here, and when I will leave. I am an outsider to this world, do you understand? I am in this world One day is one day, I can't guarantee the future for anyone. I can't even guarantee my own future, he shouldn't like me, he shouldn't like me."

"But you like him too, don't you?" Hong Yan said lightly, "Don't be so busy vetoing me. Think about it yourself, are you really just repaying Qiao Ke for your kindness? What if the person who saved you was replaced by someone else? Other brothers and women, would you still do this? You rescued his two elder brothers, tried your best to improve their lives, and even married him for his fame. Didn’t you do everything for him first? Do you only think for yourself when he thinks about it? Shen Yu, why are you deceiving yourself? "
