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

Qiao Shuyu lay on Ye Tingyuan's back, felt his steady steps, and felt that this moment was probably the happiest moment in his life, and it was more reassuring than the intimacy last night.

At this time, more than a dozen sky lanterns suddenly rose in the night sky, and Qiao Shuyu looked at them happily, while many people nearby stopped and closed their eyes to make a wish.

"Ye Tingyuan, you said that if you make a wish on the sky lantern, will the wish come true?"

"you try."

"Okay, then I hope we can stay together for the rest of our lives and grow old together."

Ye Tingyuan paused for a moment before continuing to walk forward. Qiao Shuyu didn't hear his response, and felt a little disappointed, but he was not in a hurry as he thought the future would be long.

When he returned to the inn room, Ye Tingyuan found that the person on his back had fallen asleep, breathing steadily and long. He carefully placed the person on the bed, bent down to take off his shoes and socks, and covered him with a quilt.

Some people don't know what to do with him. In fact, he knew that Qiao Shuyu had heard the conversation between him and Mu Yunxi. He thought he would give up, but he didn't expect a confession.

I couldn't tell how I felt about Qiao Shuyu, but at first I thought he must have approached him on purpose.

So in order to investigate his purpose clearly, he found an excuse to keep him by his side and observe carefully.

But it may be because he observed too carefully, so his every frown, smile, and every movement are deeply imprinted in his mind, gradually feeling that he may really have amnesia.

Amnesia, it's like a completely different person, completely different from the rumors.

It's not love, maybe it's just some good feelings, and these good feelings are not enough for him to accept him, after all, they are people from two different worlds.

What he wants to investigate is the person behind the scenes, and Qiao Fan is that person's subordinate. Now he has lost his memory. If one day he recovers his memory, then how should he choose?

Originally, everything was going according to plan, but who would have thought that there would be an accident like last night, Ye Tingyuan closed his eyes and raised his hands and frowned, feeling that it was really terrible.

"Ye Tingyuan..."

Qiao Shuyu turned over and reached out to grab the corner of his clothes, muttered a few words and then fell asleep again. Ye Tingyuan looked down at him, but did not pull out the corner of his clothes.

On the second day, the two of them rested at the inn for a day, then prepared some dry food and water for the road, and set off for Chongming City on the third day.

When I went back, I considered Qiao Shuyu's condition, so I took a carriage, which was slower than when I came. It was already April [-] when I returned to Chongming City.

Qiao Shuyu couldn't help sighing, it's really not easy to go out for a trip, it took more than 20 days to go to such a nearby place, and if you go to a farther place, it will take half a year anyway!

It feels like time is wasted on the road.

"grandmother……"

"Oh, Xiaoyu is back. I thought you guys would play for a few more days. Why did you come back so early? Isn't Xilan City fun?"

Mrs. Ye was very happy to see them back, and held Qiao Shuyu's hand and refused to let go.

"Xi Lan City is not very big at all. We played it a lot in the few days we arrived, and later attended Li Shumen's wedding banquet, but did you know that the bride ran away, so now the groom is looking for her everywhere?" Woolen cloth!"

"Oh? Is there such a thing? It's a pity that grandma is old, otherwise she would definitely follow you to join in the fun."

"Next time, take grandma to play together, to a more fun place."

"Okay, okay, you've worked hard on the road, you've lost weight."

Qiao Shuyu touched his ears, and felt that he was not thinner, but thinner!

"By the way, I bought a bunch of presents back."

"Did you really buy a gift?"

"of course."

"My good granddaughter-in-law is still obedient. That guy Yuan'er never thought about me as an old woman when he went out before, and he came back empty-handed."

Ye Tingyuan was still outside and didn't come in, so naturally he didn't hear what the old matriarch said. Qiao Shuyu was only happy to hear it, and he and the old matriarch whispered bad things about Ye Tingyuan.

"grandmother……"

Ye Tingyuan yelled when he entered the main hall, but he couldn't help being stunned when he saw the situation in front of him clearly. He saw that the old lady and Qiao Shuyu were both wearing facial masks, which was quite strange.

Mrs. Ye took off the mask on her face and said with a smile, "The gift Xiaoyu gave me, isn't it pretty?"

Ye Tingyuan: "..."

"Hey, this is the first time I have received so many gifts."

"Old Madam, when you celebrated your birthday, there were piles of presents."

Pinggu said from the side, but Mrs. Ye shook her head and said in disapproval, "Is that considered a gift? Although it's my old woman's birthday, they only gave it for Yuan'er's sake."

"Grandma, I will bring you gifts when I go out to play in the future."

"Well, it's better for Xiaoyu to treat grandma well. Are you hungry? Let's go to the kitchen with grandma to see what's delicious."

The old lady pulled Qiao Shuyu to the kitchen. Ye Tingyuan shook his head helplessly. He didn't expect the two to get along so well. Qiao Shuyu was quite liked by the old man.

After having lunch together, Ye Tingyuan went to Chongming Academy. After leaving for such a long time this time, he presumably accumulated a lot of business affairs, and some of them were busy.

On the other hand, Qiao Shuyu was at ease, took a bath and took a nap comfortably, and then began to think about how to chase Ye Tingyuan next.

I have never chased anyone in my two lifetimes combined, and Ye Tingyuan is not a little girl, so it's a bit tricky.

"My lord, what are you bothered about?"

Qiao Zhu's body has fully recovered, so Qiao Shuyu was by his side as soon as he came back. Qiao Shuyu also brought him some gifts this time, and he was so touched that he almost cried.

Being able to meet such a good person, Qiao Zhu felt that he must have done a lot of good deeds in his previous life, otherwise how could he have such good fortune in this life.

"Oh, it's annoying, little Zhuzi, do you like someone?"

"I like my mother, and I also like my son. I like everyone who treats me well."

"It's not like this kind of liking, that's right, you are still a child."

"Young master, I'm already 16 years old."

"Sixteen is still very young."

"Young master, are you bothering the dean?"

Sitting on the soft bed and eating lychees, upon hearing this, he looked up at Qiao Zhu and said with a smile, "You're pretty good at reading people's hearts, how do you know I'm bothering about Ye Tingyuan?"

"Young Master asked me if there was anyone I liked, but he said it wasn't the kind of liking I mentioned, so it's naturally a matter of feelings. Young Master likes the dean, and anyone with a discerning eye can tell."

"It turns out that I was so obvious. Do you think I have a chance?"

"what chance?"

"I just like Ye Tingyuan, but Ye Tingyuan doesn't like me. I decided to chase him, but now I don't know how to impress his heart and make him like me too. Give me some advice."

"Why doesn't the dean like the young master? The dean treats the young master so well."

"Don't be fooled by his appearance. In fact, he doesn't like me at all, so I still need to work hard."

"Why don't you make some pastries that the dean likes to eat?"

"Forget it, I used this idea last time, and almost burned the kitchen down, and what's more, the things I made were really inedible, let alone Ye Tingyuan, I don't even want to remember it. "

"A few days ago, I heard the old lady talking about it. It seems that the dean's birthday is coming soon. Why don't you give me a gift on the birthday?"

Qiao Shuyu's eyes lit up, he sat up straight and asked, "Really?"

"That's what the old lady said. She said it was the beginning of May. You should ask the old lady for details."

"Little Zhuzi, you are really great. I'm going to ask grandma what day it is, and then I must celebrate it for him."

After Qiao Shuyu finished speaking, he got up and went to Shuxin Garden where the old lady lived. The old lady was happy to hear that he wanted to celebrate Ye Tingyuan's birthday, and told Ye Tingyuan that his birthday was on the third day of May.

Since it was said to be a surprise, naturally Ye Tingyuan couldn't be informed in advance. Qiao Shuyu took advantage of Ye Tingyuan's time to go out to do errands and wanted to finish the sculpture as soon as possible, and then went to the street to choose a gift.

"My lord, what gift do you want to buy?"

Qiao Zhu followed behind Qiao Shuyu, he was really dazzled by so many shops on this street.

"I'm still thinking about it too. Look at Ye Tingyuan, a typical nouveau riche. He doesn't lack anything for food and clothing. I really don't have anything to buy."

"Gifts are not expensive but caring. As long as the young master chooses them carefully, the dean will definitely like them."

"Good boy, you can really talk."

Qiao Shuyu patted Qiao Zhu's head, and Qiao Zhu smiled happily. While shopping, Qiao Shuyu saw a candied haws seller, and suddenly remembered the bunch of candied haws that Ye Tingyuan gave him directly.

He went up to buy two strings, one with Qiao Zhu, and walked around the street while eating candied haws. Last time, Ye Tingyuan said that he and He Chenghuai wanted to see an inkstone together, and finally gave it to He Chenghuai.

"I know what to buy."

"what?"

"I can buy pens, inks, papers and inkstones, he needs them anyway, Xiao Zhuzi, do you know where there is a shop that sells these?"

Although Qiao Zhu came from a poor background, he can be regarded as a native of Chongming City at any rate, and he must know more about Chongming City than Qiao Shuyu.

"It's up ahead."

He led Qiao Shuyu forward, Qiao Shuyu thought that although he didn't know how to choose, it should be right to choose expensive ones, anyway, he brought all the money with him this time.

"Boss, show me your most expensive pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

As soon as he stepped into the store, Qiao Shuyu yelled loudly. In an instant, several other customers in the store looked at him, and a clerk came over and said, "No, please go back."

Qiao Shuyu was stunned for a moment, and asked in puzzlement, "Aren't you selling these? Look at your cabinet, why are you opening your eyes and talking nonsense?"

"The pens, inks, papers and inkstones in this store are all sold to those who really need them, not those who don't know how to pretend to understand like guest officials."

Qiao Shuyu blew up instantly, what does this guy mean? !

"What do you mean by that? Why do you say I don't understand?"

"It can be judged from the sentence you said when you entered the door. Besides, don't you see the words "no noise" hanging on the wall?"

"Young master, why don't we change one?"

Qiao Zhu said in a low voice, Qiao Shuyu was a little upset, he just made his voice a little louder, and he didn't come to make trouble, and besides, he only saw the word "no noise" when he entered the shop, and he didn't know it before.

"Xiaohu, what's the noise?"

At this time, the curtain behind the door was lifted, and a woman's voice came out. Qiao Shuyu looked over, but was stunned when he saw someone. It was not because of the woman, but the person behind the woman.

"Ye Tingyuan, why are you here?"
