The Way of the National Teacher

She still wanted to protest, but Shi Yan glanced at her lightly, Chu Li immediately fell silent, snorted dissatisfied, and muttered to himself, I won't be obedient.A sly look flashed across his eyes, and Xindaoshanren had his own tricks.

Shi Yan gave her a meaningful look, and thought, you have a good idea, don't I have a wall ladder?The little Jiujiu in Chu Li's heart, Shi Yan can guess eight|nine is not far from ten with just a glance.

The two of them have long been used to fighting with each other like this. When Chu Li saw her expression, he couldn't help curling his lips and looked back provocatively. The expression clearly read "Wait and see! Let's see who wins!"

But she didn't know what Princess Shanggu felt when she looked at it.Qu Di raised his glass and sipped, lowering his eyes to hide his emotions.

Zhu'er looked at the two of them strangely, "Sister Chu, Senior Sister, why are you so weird?" The child had no scruples and said whatever was on his mind.

It brought Chu Li back to his senses, coughed lightly, and said, "It's nothing. I just talked about Gongshuding—" She paused, and then said, "When Gongshuding went up the mountain, he met the prince Liu Shao, and he got into a fight with someone. Sui Sui wrote in the letter that although he himself was injured, he also injured others. They are still confronting each other right now."

"Gong Shuding is upright by nature, so it's not surprising that he would fight with others." Shi Kui continued calmly, "However, it's not easy for him to be able to fight three with one, and to have two masters."

"No! Thanks to him for this journey." Chu Li said excitedly, "I want to go and see."

"It's getting dark, you stay obediently and help cook." Shi Yan said, smiling at Qu Di, "Di'er can go for a walk by himself, okay?"

Just as Qu Di was about to answer, Chu Li's voice suddenly raised and abruptly said, "Di-er? Shi Yan, when did you know her so well?" She heard an indescribable sense of discomfort in her ears.

Shi Kui paused, then took Qu Di's hand, looked at her and said, "I fell in love with Di'er, and I liked it very much at first sight. It's hard for Di'er to call me sister, unlike some people who are neither big nor young. , of course I like it very much.”

When he said this, Chu Li didn't give a corner of his eyes.

Qu Di looked unpredictable, looking at the smiling Shi Yan, feeling very complicated in his heart, but he couldn't figure it out at all.However, she seems to feel that she... also likes Shi Yan very much, and has a natural sense of intimacy.Maybe it's because Shi Yan is too approachable, like a spring breeze blowing on his face, making people feel very cordial.

Chu Li's face was completely darkened, and he said angrily, "You are familiar with yourself, and you don't ask Miss Qu." As he spoke, he stepped forward and pulled Qu Di's hand out of Shi Yu's palm, and looked down at An Ran to sit down Shi Yan said, "I'm hungry."

The corners of Shi Yan's lips curled up, and he slowly got up and said, "Then let's cook."

She walks away.Chu Li grinned at her from behind, with an unhappy expression on his face.

Qu Di breathed a sigh of relief for no reason, and raised his eyes to look at Chu Li with a smile that was not a smile, "The national teacher is really afraid of Miss Shi."

"What am I afraid of her?" Chu Li frowned unhappily, "It's because she is weak and not as knowledgeable as her."

"Distress is more terrifying than fear." Qu Di looked at her deeply, "The national teacher loves Sister Shi."

Chu Li paused, and said indifferently, "We have depended on each other for so many years and took care of each other. She and Master are my only relatives in this world." The implication is that I don't feel sorry for her.

Qu Di smiled, "That's all?"

"Of course—" Chu Li looked at her puzzled, "Of course."

Qu Di smiled without saying a word, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.She couldn't tell whether she was envious or jealous, or something else.It's just that Princess Shanggu has never been with anyone so stress-free since she grew up, and she has never seen such a close relationship...family affection?Qu Di chuckled, hehe, dear.

"Grand--Qu Di, you can go shopping by yourself, I'll cook with my senior sister." Chu Li touched Zhu'er's head again, "Zhu'er, you can practice calligraphy here by yourself, okay?"

Zhu'er obediently stepped aside, took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone to practice calligraphy.

Just as Chu Li was about to leave, Qu Di suddenly said, "How does Elder Sister Shi know that there are two masters beside Liu Shao?"

Chu Li paused, turned around and asked suspiciously, "Didn't you tell her?"

"No," Qu Di shook his head, "just to exchange pleasantries."

"Huh——" Chu Li said strangely, "...Could it be that Wu Xi told her?" She nodded to herself, "I guess it was Wu Xi who said it." Then she was dissatisfied, "She has a good relationship with Wu Xi, All day long, I don't know what I'm doing in secret. Huh," she said in great displeasure, "I'll figure it out sooner or later."

Then he hurried to the kitchen and obediently lit the fire.

Shi Kui rolled up his sleeves and cooked, seeing her grunting expression, he smiled and said, "Who messed with you again?"

"You!" Chu Li said while lighting the fire, "Shi Yu, what are you doing with Wu Xi all day?"

"What can you do?" Shi Yan looked natural and generous, "It's nothing more than small talk. If you want, you can join us."

"I know I don't like her, so I won't go."

Shi Yan glanced at her, "Why do you have such a big prejudice against Wu Xi?"

"Then why do you have such a good relationship with her!" Chu Li said, "Wuxi's body is yin, you are cold, and being with her for a long time hurts your vitality, don't you know?"

Shi Yan paused, "It's not that serious, but when I see it occasionally, I talk nonsense to relieve boredom, how can I get hurt."

"Why not," Chu Li raised his voice, "I think you've been getting colder recently, maybe it's because you've been with her for a long time."

"You want to commit a crime, so there is nothing wrong with it," Shi Kui said with a smile, "I am not in good health, how can I blame others."

"Maybe it wasn't that serious before, and you were all well before I left—" Chu Li felt a dull pain in his mouth, "But when I came back, you were not only not well, but even worse. Don't you feel it? ?Sometimes when I get close to you, I can feel the coldness on your body. You talk about me all day, why don’t you know how to take care of yourself—” As he spoke, his eyes turned red, and he didn’t want Shi Qi to see him, so he quickly lowered his head He wiped his tears from his head.

Shi Yan was cutting vegetables with his back to her, but now he sensed something was wrong, when he turned his head and saw her bowed her head in silence, she called softly, "Li'er?"

Chu Li didn't answer.

Shi Yan stopped his movements, walked up to her and squatted down, "Li'er?"

Chu Li turned his head away from her.Shi Yan looked down and saw that the back of her hand was a little wet, his heart twitched, and he quickly held her face with his wrist to avoid touching her with the fingers that had cut vegetables, "Li'er..." Only then did he see clearly that Li's eyes were red, The bottom of Qi's heart trembled, the tip of his nose felt a little sore, but he smiled and said, "What is this, it's not that serious, don't worry."

Chu Li glared at her.

Shi Yan pressed his forehead against her, and said softly, "Li'er, don't be afraid, I'll be fine."

The voice was so soft that Chu Li's bottom line of defense collapsed in an instant, "You always said that nothing will happen. Have you forgotten how you were when you were young? Girls are yin, and you are so The extreme cold is almost worse. If it hadn’t been for these years of recuperation, you wouldn’t even know if you would have survived until now!” Chu Li was so angry that he didn’t look at her, but his voice was choked up, “I just left for half a year, After half a year, you're like this again, and it's even worse, why are you so annoying!"

Shi Yan moved his lips, his heart was blocked, but he couldn't speak, so he could only say softly over and over again, "It's my fault, it's my fault, Li'er, don't hate me."

"I hate you!" Chu Li said bitterly, "When you die, I will be at ease."

"It's such a sharp mouth." Shi Yan's eyes were foggy, he hugged her into his arms, and his voice became softer, "I'm not willing to die, I wish I could bother you forever."

Chu Li hugged her, and said in a soft voice, "Look, you are still chilled by the fire, Shi Yan, you really hate me to death. I really don't like you at all."

"Then what should I do, I like you." Shi Yan murmured seemingly genuinely, "I like you, what should I do?"

"Hmph," Chu Li only thought she was coaxing himself, "Don't do this, don't hang out with Wu Xi all the time, I'll be content."

Her mood gradually calmed down, Shi Yan sighed lightly, and rubbed the tip of her nose, "Still crying, are you ashamed?"

Chu Li pushed her away, "I cry when I want to cry, and laugh when I want to laugh, it's up to you." After speaking, he bared his teeth and showed a big smile.

Shi Yan was amused at once, "I want to take care of it!" pinched Chu Li's face, "Okay, it's good to start a fire, the guests are still waiting."

"I forgot if you didn't tell me," Chu Li said, "Huan Dier—are you familiar with him? You're not ashamed."

Shi Yan chuckled, "She is indeed my sister." Blinking, "Call me sister Dier, isn't that right?"

"Everyone in the world is your sister," Chu Li said, "Everyone younger than you is your sister. When you see Sui Sui, don't you let her call you sister? Only ghosts will believe you."

"Then you can shout too, I don't mind." Shi Yan got up, washed his hands and continued cooking.

"Call me Senior Sister!" Chu Li said, "It turns out that I am Senior Sister."

"I'm deceiving myself and others," Shi Yan said with a smile, "In terms of age, I'm older than you, and I'm older than you. How do you count as a senior sister? Laipi."

Chu Li hummed and didn't answer.

After dinner, Chu Li took Qu Di and Zhu'er to his room, and after arranging everything, he returned to Shi Yan's room.

But she didn't intend to sleep on the floor.It was also the first time that Shi Yan asked her to lay the floor.Thinking of the cold air on Shi Yan's body again, Chu Li felt uneasy, so when he returned to his room, he touched Shi Yan's bed.But before he reached the bed, he fell into the hole with a plop, and when he looked up, he saw Shi Yan on the top, saying, "Girl, I'll make a bed with you below, it's not cold, so you can rest there."

As he spoke, he brought an iron fence to block the entrance of the cave.

Chu Li gritted his teeth in annoyance, "Shi Yan! You—" She was so angry that she couldn't speak. She really didn't expect that Shi Yan would dig a trap by the bed, cover her up by surprise, and let her fall into the trap in a moment of carelessness. went into the hole.

Seeing that he was locked in the cave by Shi Yan, it was quite spacious down here, like a basement, and the beds were all good.It just looks like it's quite a few years old.Chu Li frowned. Could it be that there has always been such a basement in Shi Yan's room?Why doesn't she know?

You know, this attic was designed and built by her and Shi Yan, and the structure inside should be clear to her.But now he suddenly discovered that there was a basement here in Shi Qi, so Chu Li was not surprised.And the basement is right next to the bed—what is Shi Yan digging a basement next to the bed?

Chu Li was very puzzled.Looking up, I saw Shi Qi put down the bed curtain, extinguished the candle and fell asleep.

She was annoyed that she was careless and Jingzhou was plotted against by Shi Yan, but she had no choice but to lie down with her teeth gritted, and she only hoped to settle the account with her again at dawn.

Dazed but full of doubts in his heart, the basement, the increasingly severe cold on Shi Yan's body, Wu Xi... It's a pity that he couldn't figure it out.

At midnight, Chu Li suddenly felt a chill.She shrank back and wrapped the quilt tightly around her body.I was really sleepy and didn't open my eyes, but I saw a layer of frost on the fence on the top floor of the basement in a daze.

Chu Li was confused and thought, "It's already mid-spring, how can there be frost? It's probably cold in spring?"
