Why do you want me to be the leader of the martial arts alliance?

After Pei Yao'an settled Zhu Shiwu, he turned around and saw that everyone in the room was looking at him. Remembering the conversation just now, he explained: "He's drunk."

Qiao Shuyu stepped forward and patted Pei Yaoan on the shoulder and said, "Pei Yaoan, tell me the truth."

"Explain what?"

"Have you taken a fancy to my son?!"

Seeing Qiao Shuyu's gossipy face, Pei Yao'an was speechless. He really wanted to know who I like, but Qiao Shuyu really didn't know, so he didn't bother to talk too much.

Anyway, it didn't work out.

"It's just a little misunderstanding between Zhu Shiwu and I."

"Aren't you the one who was rumored to have put him to sleep in Xi Yin City?"

As soon as Mu Yunxi heard what Qiao Shuyu said, he quickly became interested, rushed up and blinked and asked, "Pei Yao'an, so you are the hero who killed the people!"

Pei Yao'an: "..." What should he say? !

"Tell me what happened to you at the beginning... Hey, hey, where are you going?"

"go home!"

Mu Yunxi looked at Pei Yao'an's back in disappointment, he still had a lot of questions to ask, why did he slip away, one of the parties was drunk and the other ran away, so he could only turn to Qiao Shuyu.

"Little Yuyu, what's going on?"

"Actually, I don't know. It's just that Xiaowu called Pei Yao'an a dead thief when he saw him. I think it should be referring to the previous incident. Didn't Pei Yao'an just happen to be in the Zhushui Pavilion of Zhu's family that night?"

"It turned out to be Pei Yao'an. I really didn't expect it. No wonder he treats Zhu Shiwu so well. He guessed that he didn't go to the academy with us to watch the excitement before, just to find him!"

Qiao Shuyu looked at Zhu Shiwu, who had passed away drunk, and felt a headache for a while. He made so much mess on the first day of going to the academy, and he didn't know what would happen afterwards.

The maid brought hot water to wipe Zhu Shiwu's face and hands, Qiao Shuyu also asked the kitchen to prepare a bowl of hangover soup, otherwise Zhu Shiwu would wake up with a splitting headache tomorrow morning with his current state.

The old lady heard that Zhu Shiwu was back, so she came over to have a look. Qiao Shuyu felt that the old lady seemed to take special care of Zhu Shiwu, and wondered if it was because she really treated Zhu Shiwu as a great-grandson.

The next morning Zhu Shiwu didn't get up, and slept until lunch time before slowly coming to the dining room, Qiao Shuyu saw that his complexion was not very good.

"Is it a headache?"

"Fortunately."

After Zhu Shiwu sat down, the old lady served him a bowl of pork rib soup. Qiao Shuyu said, "Drink less wine in the future. You are still young, so you shouldn't drink so much. You are still alone. What if you meet bad people?" ?”

"I want you to take care of it!"

Zhu Shiwu's tone was not very good, and Qiao Shuyu choked for a moment, holding back his temper and said, "I just remind you, luckily Pei Yaoan found you last night and brought you back."

"That perverted thief? Would he be so kind!"

"You rest at home today, and I will accompany you to the academy tomorrow."

Zhu Shiwu dropped his chopsticks directly, and said unhappily, "I'm not going to the academy."

"Why? Ah, are you afraid of the fight yesterday? Don't worry, those people have all been settled."

"It's not because of that. I don't like going to the academy, so go yourself."

"Then what do you want to do?"

"Nothing to do with you!"

Zhu Shiwu stopped eating lunch and left the dining room directly. Qiao Shuyu was a little embarrassed, but Ye Tingyuan didn't respond. The old lady beside him said, "Xiao Yu, what are you worried about?"

"Grandma, you don't know, he was a little overlord when he was in Xiyin City, what if he becomes the little overlord of Chongming City again?"

"The little bully is the little bully, what are you afraid of?"

"But that's not good for him. If he continues like this, he won't be able to make friends. Everyone is afraid of him, everyone hates him, and he will be very lonely."

Qiao Shuyu didn't have many friends when he was a child, but that was because he had no parents, so ordinary children would not want to play with him. He had tried this kind of life himself, and he didn't want those around him to experience it again.

"Friends also need points, whether they are worth making or not."

"But he is only 16 years old, what will he do if he doesn't go to the academy?"

"You also said that he is 16 years old, not six years old. He knows what to do and what not to do. He is like a mirror in his heart. He understands everything. You don't have to worry so much."

Qiao Shuyu froze for a moment, and then remembered that this is ancient times, which is different from modern times, and 16 years old in ancient times is actually not too young.

Mainly at the beginning, the old lady said that he had adopted a son for him, so even though the son was a little unsatisfactory in terms of age, he still really treated him as a family member, so he took care of him as an elder.

But after all, the two of them were not much different in age, so Zhu Shiwu definitely didn't want to hear him say these words, alas, he was negligent.

"Yuan'er, who fought with Xiao Wu yesterday, who took the lead?"

"The young master of the Chen family, Chen Xuanyang."

After hearing this, the old matriarch told Pinggu: "Go and tell the butler, let him pass the order later, and then catch Chen Xuanyang, and beat him once. If a passer-by beats him up, he will be rewarded."

"Yes……"

Qiao Shuyu: "..." Is this called helping the evildoers?

After returning to the room after lunch, Qiao Shuyu thought for a long time but couldn't help but said: "Ye Tingyuan, are you really brought up by your grandma?"

"Ah."

"It's really not easy. According to grandma's way of pampering children, you have not been raised as a bully. Tsk tsk tsk, should I say you are not up to date or are you too up to date?"

Ye Tingyuan smiled, and said: "Grandma naturally has her own intentions for doing this. Haven't you heard a word, Jiang is still old and hot."

"But what is the purpose of this?"

"No matter how long you think about it, you won't be able to come to any conclusions, unless she is willing to say it herself, okay, you really raise Zhu Shiwu as a son?"

"Didn't grandma say that? She said it was our adopted son. Could it be that because he's a bit older, we don't want him? You can't return it."

"You two's personalities should be quite reasonable."

"What do you mean?"

"Smells like each other—"

"Ye Tingyuan!"

Ye Tingyuan laughed, Qiao Shuyu saw that it was rare for him to smile so happily, so he held back his rebuttal, forget it, it would be a lot of meat to sacrifice himself.

I have been thinking about Zhu Shiwu for the past few days, and I almost forgot that there seems to be a lot of mess to be cleaned up in the imperial city, Qiao Fan's master, and Xiao Shuyu, all of which have to be done in the same way.

But for now the most important thing is to cure Ye Tingyuan, the bone-burning and soul-eating needle has to be taken out, and it is not known whether his physical condition can be recovered.

Su Sheng and Mu Yunxi have been researching this matter. They don't know if there is any progress. They will have to ask later. The longer the delay, the worse it will be.

Liu Yutong also knows medical skills and is Su Sheng's apprentice, but because his condition is not very good recently, he has been a little distracted all day long, Qiao Shuyu thinks that he should be bothering Liu Aoxing.

Liu Aoxing left without saying goodbye. What the shop assistant said seemed to be that he was planning to go back to the Liu Mansion in Longxian City to get married. Liu Aoxing did what Liu Yutong had always wanted him to do, but in fact, for Liu Yutong, he must be unhappy with this result. of.

The two clearly have feelings for each other, but they can't be together due to various reasons. Now both of them are unhappy, Qiao Shuyu couldn't help sighing, no wonder they say that feelings are the most tormenting.

After Zhu Shiwu ran out of Ye Mansion, he walked aimlessly on the street. He didn't eat breakfast or lunch. Now he was very hungry, so he touched his bosom. The old lady gave me a stack of bank notes a few days ago , but he left it in the room, and came out in a hurry, so he didn't bring it.

"Mom, I can't walk anymore."

A sound came from not far away, Zhu Shiwu turned his head and looked over, only to see a woman carrying a small table, followed by a three or four year old child.

"Qingqing is good, I'll be home soon, let's go a few more steps."

"But I really can't move anymore, mother hug."

"Mother can't hug her with her things. How about walking a few more steps? Give Qingqing some sweets when she gets home."

The child pursed his mouth a little aggrieved, and looked as if he was about to cry. The woman looked embarrassed, Zhu Shiwu stepped forward and said, "Shall I help you?"

The woman looked at Zhu Shiwu suspiciously. Zhu Shiwu reached out and took the small table in her hand. It looked very shabby, and it might have been thrown away by the woman and picked up by the woman.

"Where to go?"

"Oh, this way."

The woman walked in front with the child in her arms, and Zhu Shiwu followed behind with the table in her arms. After crossing the street, she entered an alley, and the woman's home was at the end of the alley.

"That's it."

Zhu Shiwu responded, put the table in the yard of her house, and was about to leave when the woman stopped him and said, "Thank you, little brother."

"You're welcome……"

Zhu Shiwu waved his hand and left the yard, but as soon as he walked out of the alley, someone grabbed his neck. He raised his hand to beat him but was held down.

"I didn't expect you, kid, to have a kind side?"

It was Pei Yao'an's voice, and Zhu Shiwu scolded viciously, "Let me go, that pervert!"

"Tsk, how many times have I told you not to call me a dead prostitute. My surname is Pei, and my name is Pei Yao'an. Originally, it didn't matter if you called me big brother, but now you are Qiao Shuyu's son, so I will be the son of Qiao Shuyu." I am an uncle."

"Dream you!"

After finishing speaking, his stomach started to growl, Zhu Shiwu looked a little unnatural, and Pei Yaoan walked forward with his neck hooked.

"Go, I'll take you to a big meal."

"I'm not going!"

The two chattered all the way, and arrived at the Chongming Restaurant after a while, Zhu Shiwu looked up and cut. "Is this the big meal you were talking about?"

"This is the most famous restaurant in the entire Chongming City. The signature dishes inside are guaranteed to be your favorite."

"What kind of meal can you eat in this kind of place!"

"Oh? Tell me about your favorite place?"

Zhu Shiwu thought for a while and then walked forward, Pei Yaoan followed behind him, saw Zhu Shiwu walking and searching, and finally found a small stall, sat down and said to the stall owner: "Boss, a bowl of dumplings, a bowl of bean curd, a One fried wonton, one stinky tofu."

"okay……"

Pei Yao'an had never been to these small stalls before, so he was a little curious. After a while, everything was ready. Pei Yao'an took a look and said, "Do you eat dumplings or bean curd?"

Zhu Shiwu glanced at him and said, "Both are mine. If you want to eat, order it yourself."

"How can you eat so much by yourself, I will share some for you."

As soon as he said that, he wanted to start, Zhu Shiwu quickly picked up the bowl of dumplings and took a sip of the soup, then picked up the bowl of bean curd and took a sip of the bean curd before putting it down.

"Humph--"

The meaning is obviously that you can't eat if you want to, but Pei Yao'an just smiled, took the bowl of bean curd and said, "It's okay, I don't mind."

After speaking, he really picked up a spoonful and tasted it, saying: "It tastes good."

Zhu Shiwu was a little annoyed, and then saw that Pei Yao'an had eaten a dumpling, and commented: "The dumpling tastes good, and you have a good eye for food."

"asshole!"

Zhu Shiwu cursed, and then asked the stall owner to serve another bowl of wontons and tofu curds. Pei Yaoan lowered his head and smiled silently, enjoying himself.

Pei Yao'an ate and tried another fried wonton and tried all three, but he didn't touch the stinky tofu. When Zhu Shiwu saw him like this, he suddenly picked up a piece of stinky tofu and ate it in one bite, then said: " It's delicious."

After finishing speaking, Pei Yao'an didn't respond, he said, "Hey, why don't you eat?"

"I don't like the taste very much."

Zhu Shiwu rolled his eyes, put a piece in Pei Yaoan's dumpling, and advised, "It's delicious, try it."

Pei Yao'an's face was a bit ugly, he wanted to drink bean curd, Zhu Shiwu quickly put another piece in the bean curd, Pei Yao'an looked at him helplessly.

"Aren't you amazing? Why don't you eat?"

He said that he was afraid that Pei Yaoan would snatch it from him again, so he also put stinky tofu in his own bean curd and dumplings, and then looked at Pei Yaoan provocatively.

Pei Yao'an simply stopped eating, and now Zhu Shiwu was enjoying eating alone, Pei Yao'an was not angry at all, just sat there and watched him eat.

"So full!"

After Zhu Shiwu was full, he stood up and left contentedly. Pei Yaoan paid the money and followed him. He glanced at him with some disgust and said, "What are you doing with me?"

"This street is not yours, how can you say that I followed you?"

"Humph."

Zhu Shiwu remembered what happened just now, and deliberately said: "The stinky tofu just now is really delicious. It's a pity that you didn't try it for the money you paid for."

"You say it's stinky tofu, how can you eat it if it's stinky?"

"Don't understand? Call me brother, and I'll tell you."

Pei Yao'an smiled and shouted: "Brother..."

Zhu Shiwu: "..."

"Brother, tell me quickly—"

Pei Yao'an smiled brightly, and Zhu Shiwu said speechlessly: "Death thief, you are not only romantic, but also shameless, really the best."

"Does that mean... in love with me?"

"You are so thick-skinned!"

"It's quite thin, would you like to touch it?"

Zhu Shiwu rolled his eyes, and walked straight forward, Pei Yaoan followed and smiled, "Actually, I don't suffer from calling you brother, after all, when I carried you back last night, you called me a good husband all the way!"

"Do you think I'll believe it?"

"I even yelled after I got back to the mansion. If you don't believe me, you can ask Qiao Shuyu and the others. They all heard it."

Pei Yao'an said with a serious face, Zhu Shiwu's face turned white and blue, Pei Yao'an hooked his shoulder and said: "Go, my good man will take you to swim in the lake!"

"Are you not afraid that I will kick you into the lake?"

"Last time when I was in Xi Yincheng, I heard that you were so sad that you jumped into the lake because of the incident in the Mishui Pavilion. What's the matter? This time, you are planning to bring your good husband to die in love?"

"Get the hell out of here, if you dare to say another word, I will tear your mouth apart!"

"terrible……"

Pei Yao'an said it was scary, but his face was full of smiles. Zhu Shiwu barked his teeth and claws and made a fuss for a while, but found that he was not as strong as him at all, and could only be dragged away by him wearily.

Pei's mansion has its own painting boat, which is specially hired to manage it, and it is clean. When Pei Yao'an came along the road, he bought fruit, snacks, and wine.

The painting boat moved slowly on the lake, Zhu Shiwu leaned against the fence in no mood, he had no interest in swimming in the lake, it was a favorite thing for rich people.

"Hey, don't you like to drink?"

Pei Yao'an came over and handed him a small bottle of wine, Zhu Shiwu took a sip after taking it, spit it out straight away, and said, "What is this?"

"Wine."

Zhu Shiwu stared at him, Pei Yao'an smiled and said, "It's really wine, but it's just fruit wine, made from fruit, it tastes sour and sweet, it's delicious."

Zhu Shiwu glanced at the one in his hand, and it smelled like alcohol, he said, "I want to exchange it with you."

"If you don't have a good capacity for alcohol, don't always think about drinking these spirits. Fruit wine is more suitable for you."

"You're not good at drinking!"

"Yes, I don't drink well, so after I get drunk, you can do whatever you want/for me, are you secretly having fun?"

Zhu Shiwu gave him a sideways glance, and didn't bother to pay attention to him, who was cheeky, and took another sip of the fruit wine. He didn't taste it carefully just now, but now he tasted sweet and sour, as well as the aroma of fruit, which was really good.

"what about the taste?"

"It's so hard to drink."

Pei Yao'an knew that he was duplicity, so he didn't expose it, and said with a smile: "It's right that it tastes bad, you call me a prostitute all day long, it's not bad if I don't fix some poisonous ones for you."

"You're a bloodthirsty thief."

"You are wrong here. Even if I am a prostitute, I should be a living prostitute, and I am not dead."

"I can kick you down and fulfill you."

"It's a pity, I can swim, you can't fulfill me." Pei Yao'an went into the cabin to get some dried fruit, handed it to Zhu Shiwu and said, "Try and see which one you like."

I asked Zhu Shiwu just now, but Zhu Shiwu refused to answer, so he bought some of everything, Zhu Shiwu glanced at it and said, "It doesn't taste good at first glance."

"Then what is delicious? Stinky tofu?"

"So what? Anyway, you don't have the guts to eat it!"

Pei Yao'an sighed, and put the small plate of preserved fruit in his hand on the fence.

"Zhu Shiwu..."

He suddenly yelled, and Zhu Shiwu turned his head to look at him, but just as he turned around, he kissed him, not a deep kiss, but just a touch of water.

Zhu Shiwu was stunned, Pei Yao'an smacked his mouth and said, "It's not as smelly as I imagined—"
