Chapter 795 Between You and Me (One More)
Xia Zhaoyi didn't say another word to Bai Qingyuan.

She said, Shen Lie, let's go.

The two left.

Bai Qingyuan slumped on the chair, watching them open the umbrellas in their hands and step down the veranda, leaving with their backs straight in the wind and snow.

Bai Qingyuan's slender fingers clenched the armrests of the wooden chair.

The girl didn't say anything, not even the punishment, if she did, at least she had a bottom line, but now...

How to do.

A servant woman anxiously sent Xia Zhaoyi and Shen Lie to the door, telling them to walk slowly, and after closing the door, she let out a long breath.

This pair of young men and women are not even 40 years old together. This invisible aura is really scary.

The snow outside the house was not cleaned, and it was several inches thicker than before. After walking in silence for a long time, Shen Lie looked down at the girl: "Then Miss Huang, do you have other family members?"

"No," Xia Zhaoyi shook his head, his voice lost the flatness just now, and became heavy, "It is said that her mother has always treated her badly, and the only one who depends on her is her sister."

Shen Lie frowned slightly, and said seriously: "Ali, I don't like my father. I have always hated him. He regards me as a thorn in his flesh and wishes for me to disappear in this world. But if he commits a crime, I will definitely suffer from it."

Xia Zhaoyi's footsteps slowed down slightly, and he looked up at him: "Shen Lie..."

"So since I was a child, I thought that being implicated is the most ignorant and absurd crime in the world. When you saved Chen Yongming's mother and daughter, you didn't know what would happen later. As far as what you did at that time, you were not wrong. Therefore," Shen Lie's gaze deepened, "Ali, you can regret Miss Huang's death, but you don't need to blame yourself."

Xia Zhaoyi looked at him, paused, and looked back.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the wind passed by them. After a long silence, Xia Zhaoyi said softly: "Shen Lie, thank you."

Shen Lie looked at her sideways and smiled faintly.

The girl kept looking at the snow in front of her, the open spaces and alleys, the vegetation covered, the water well turned white, the firewood and bamboo benches leaning in the corner covered with hoarfrost, everything was quiet and pure, white and flawless.

"Thank you..." Xia Zhaoyi said again.

She knew how much Shen Lie didn't like his childhood, and she was sure that Shen Lie had never mentioned it to anyone these years, but now, he was willing to open his memory and talk about the word "father" to her.

"There's no need to say thank you between you and me." Shen Lie said.

Xia Zhaoyi smiled, raised his eyes and looked at him: "Yes."

·
Xia Zhaoyi didn't intend to stay long when he entered the city this time, Kang Jian went to look for those workers this morning, drank a few pots of hot wine on a snowy night, and everyone slept soundly.When Xia Zhaoyi and Shen Lie went back to Tai'an Restaurant, these workers were about to leave.

Just like entering the city, you can't come all at once, now you have to split up, bring all the food and clothes you bought yesterday, and leave the city in batches.

Seeing Xia Zhaoyi coming back, the workers all stood up to say hello, calling "Miss Ali" one after another.

"I may come back later, in the afternoon or tomorrow morning," Xia Zhaoyi said, "Go back first, and be careful when you go out of the city. If you encounter anything, don't be reckless. Take it away if you are taken away. Everything is up to me."

"It's okay, Miss Ali, we all have a Congxin accent!"

"Yes, Miss Ali, don't worry!"

"Well," Xia Zhaoyi nodded, "I have something to do, so I'll go upstairs first."

Ji Xiahe and Xu Li sat in the innermost part of the lobby, with blueprints spread in front of them. They looked up at Xia Zhaoyi going upstairs, and they all turned their heads to look at Shen Lie.

Shen Lie was talking to Wei Dongyou and didn't know what to order.

Wei Dongyou nodded, turned and ran outside.

"Brother Shen!" Ji Xiahe raised his hand, motioning for Shen Lie to go over.

Shen Lie looked down at the pile of blueprints in front of them, it was really a mess.

After knowing the reason why Xia Zhaoyi couldn't live on the third floor last night, Shen Lie told him before going out this morning that the whole building was going to be demolished and rebuilt.

"This is just a preliminary draft." Ji Xiahe himself also realized that it was not good enough, put away the drawings, and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely change your restaurant up and down, and make sure that you won't see the previous appearance at all! "

"Did you ask me to come over?" Shen Lie said.

"There is a road built outside the city, do we have to follow?"

"You don't have to go, Xu Li and I will go." Shen Lie said.

"Is it far?"

"Counting the snow now, it may take four hours to hike."

"It's so far away!" Ji Xiahe felt a little regretful, "I still want to see your girl, A Li, who is berating Fang Qiu and presiding over the overall situation."

"Don't talk nonsense." Shen Lie said solemnly.

"Okay, okay," Ji Xiahe said, "But brother Shen, please give this inn a name, and I'll find someone to make a plaque later."

Shen Lie looked at the window beside them.

Because too much smokeless charcoal was burned in the house, it was too hot, so the window sash was open, and because it was the window opened on the side, you could vaguely see the river.

Several boats were moored, the water surface reflected the sky and snow, and the river wind whizzed between the water and the sky, swirling and swaying to the distant horizon.

Shen Lie suddenly felt his heartstrings being touched, and said, "Let's call it Tianxuelou."

"So casual?" Ji Xiahe said.

"That's called Xia He Building." Shen Lie looked at him.

"Don't make trouble, brother Shen, what are you doing with my name!"

"I always thought your name was pretty good," Shen Lie said, and suddenly smiled Qingjun, "Why don't you change your surname and change Ji into wish."

"What a mess!" Ji Xiahe frowned.

Shen Lie's smile became brighter, and he turned and went upstairs.

"What's wrong with your young master?" Ji Xiahe looked at Wei Dongyou.

"Hahahaha..." Wei Dongyou laughed.

The workers in the lobby set off every half an hour, and each time they left, there were about six or seven people.

Xia Zhaoyi has been drawing pictures in the room.

Standing at the stairs on the fourth floor, Shen Lie looked at her door for a while, but finally didn't knock on it, and went back to the bedroom on the third floor.

At the same time, Chen Yunqi knocked on the door of Tai Mansion in the heavy snow.

The maid who opened the door saw her, remembered what happened this morning, and didn't want her to enter the house, but she couldn't bear it, and said: "It's cold outside, Miss Chen, come in first."

Ask Chen Yunqi to wait under the verandah in the courtyard, while the servant girl goes to find Bai Qingyuan.

Ever since Xia Zhaoyi and Shen Lie left, Bai Qingyuan has been sitting there without moving a bit.

Hearing that Chen Yunqi was coming, she slowly raised her eyes: "...is she looking for me at this time?"

"Well, she's wearing thin clothes, and her lips are purple from the cold." The maid said pitifully.

Bai Qingyuan felt sympathetic when he heard it, and said lightly: "Let her in."

The charcoal in the house was still very hot, Chen Yunqi stepped over the threshold and came in, looked at the two teacups that had not been cleared away, and then looked at Bai Qingyuan.

"Auntie, is there a distinguished guest here?" Chen Yunqi asked in a low voice.

"Ah."

"Aunt... seems to be in a bad mood?" Chen Yunqi looked at her face.

Bai Qingyuan cheered up, and smiled at her: "No, it's nothing, you came to see me..."
