After the hero goes crazy

Chapter 355 I Like You

At this moment, amidst the chatter of the Yao family, Lu Zhi finally managed to control himself.

The uncontrollable heartbeat gradually calmed down, he coughed and said:
"Aunt Liu, can I take Shouning out first?"

He came here for a while, and he originally planned to have a good relationship with Yao's family first, to get closer to each other, so that everyone would like and be more satisfied with him, and then let Yao Hui and his wife rest assured that Yao Shouning would be handed over to him.

But once he saw Yao Shouning, it was difficult to act according to his original plan.

"Shouning is so beautiful——Shouning is so beautiful——"

There was no way for him to talk to the rest of the Yao family, and this thought kept going back and forth in his mind.

Lu Zhi has always known that Yao Shouning is good-looking, she is naturally beautiful, no matter how ugly her dress is, she can't suppress her beauty.

But he thought that his looks were not bad, and after realizing his intentions, he felt that he liked Yao Shouning not because of her looks, but because of her extraordinary strength, the relationship between the two of them who had gone through life and death several times, and her heart, her temperament.

He thought that beauty should be just icing on the cake, but he didn't expect that Yao Shouning would be so attractive after changing his usual attire today.

"Shouning is so beautiful!"

"Shouning is so beautiful."

He kept chanting these two sentences in his heart. At first, Yao Shouning was still guessing who was calling his name, but now he heard Shizi talking, and finally confirmed the source of the voice, and then heard Shizi's continuous praise.

"..."

Yao Shouning was startled for a moment, then turned to look at Shizi.

Since she was a child, she has often heard voices praising her for her good looks. Today she rarely dresses up, and her family members naturally praise her - but they don't praise her like the prince.

"She's looking at me." Shizi's heart beat like a drum, his eyes flickered, he wanted to look at her, but he didn't dare to look at her.

Yao Shouning couldn't help laughing, feeling that Lu Zhi was weird today.

The two have gone through hardships, are collaborators and friends, why is she surprised to see him?

At this moment, Liu replied with a smile:
"it is good."

After finishing speaking, she saw her daughter turned her head and stared at Shizi, she was thinking about something, she seemed to be in a daze, she couldn't help but gently pushed her to Lu Zhi's side:
"Then please take care of me, my son. There are many people tonight, so don't get separated."

Yao Shouning was still thinking about Shizi's heartfelt thoughts, and just thought it was a little funny, but was pushed by Liu Shi, unable to stand steadily, and fell to Shizi's side.

"I will."

Lu Zhi quickly stretched out his hand to grab her arm to stabilize her.

Later, he was afraid that she would fall, so he simply slid his hand down, grabbed her hand and clenched it tightly:
"Today I will hold on to Shouning and will not let go. I will send her home safely no matter how I pick her up."

The two lived and died together several times, not to mention holding hands, but also had more intimate contact.

He pulled it naturally, as if it was a matter of course, and he didn't feel awkward.

But Yao Shouning didn't take it seriously, and even grabbed him tightly with his fingers.

But this scene fell into the eyes of the Yao family, and they were all taken aback.

Liu Shi suppressed her joy and said in her heart: I only think that Shouning likes Shizi, but now it seems that Shizi doesn't seem to have any intentions for Shouning.These two people are about the same age and look well matched, if they admire each other, it would be a beautiful thing.

Yao Hui frowned, with a reluctant expression on his face: I knew this kid had bad intentions a long time ago. He had been peeping at my daughter all the time when he was in Xicheng.

He thought in his heart: Xicheng——ah, the prince saved my wife, so it shows that his character is not bad...

Yao Ruoyun felt that this scene was a bit dazzling: men and women can't tell each other, I have been engaged to Xianrong for a long time, but I haven't held her hand in front of her mother...

……

In addition, there were exclamations in the hearts of Mallow and the others. Although they didn't really shout out, their expressions were undoubtedly revealed.

Yao Shouning heard the voices of everyone, and just as he was about to shake Shizi's hand away, he heard the voices of his sister.

At this time, Yao Wanning's guarded heart seemed to be opened by this scene, and there was a gentle expression between her eyebrows and eyes.

Xindao: Before I die, if I can see Shou Ning settle down to a life-long event, that would not be a pity.

Hearing this, Yao Shouning was stunned for a moment, forgetting to break free from Shi Zi's palm.

The ominous premonition that she had tried so hard to forget resurfaced in her heart at this time, and it seemed that she heard the cry of a baby in her ears.

In a daze, Liu Shi had finished speaking with Lu Zhi. He pulled Yao Shouning to leave first, but after taking a step, he found that she hadn't moved.

"Shouning?"

Shizi turned his head and shouted.

As soon as his voice was heard, the crying stopped abruptly.

"Hmm..." Yao Shouning responded subconsciously, then turned his head and looked around:

"what?"

Everywhere she looked, she saw familiar faces.

Today is a fine and sunny day, the sun is falling, Yao Wanning is looking at her with a smile.

Behind her sister, the ghost of the 'River God' follows her like a shadow, and her tall figure accompanies her, like her faithful shadow, never leaving her.

"elder sister--"

She shouted, Yao Wanning laughed and said:

"Go, have fun with Shizi for a while, it's fine."

Yao Shouning was in a turmoil, but he could no longer hear that weird baby laugh.

She turned her head, only to see Shizi holding her hand, waiting for her patiently, their eyes met, and she saw other things in Shizi's eyes.

Yao Shouning was puzzled, and then heard Shi Zi's voice:
"I really like Shouning!"

The boy's heart is very sincere, and he hasn't learned to hide his heart yet.

He didn't realize that his 'heart' had betrayed him, and when he saw Yao Shouning looking at him, he even smiled at Yao Shouning.

"I really like Shouning!"

His 'heart' is very honest.

These words came so urgently that Yao Shouning was caught off guard.

She was stunned for a moment, her mind went blank, and she didn't know how to react.

"Let's go quickly." Liu Shi was in a very good mood, and said with a smile:
"Get out early and get a good seat."

"it is good."

Lu Zhi nodded, shook his arm, and shouted:
"Shou Ning."

"Ah?" The girl was stunned, still being stimulated by his voice, she didn't react at all, when she heard someone calling her name, she just responded subconsciously.

"We're leaving." Shizi said again.

"Okay..." She nodded instinctively, Shizi took her a few steps and walked out of the atrium.

"Why do you feel that Shouning is so stupid?" Yao Ruoyun said with a serious face:
"There's something wrong with her."

"There's something wrong with you!" Mrs. Liu looked back at him, complaining about her son:
"Yesterday you said you couldn't go out, but today you see people going out and you are greedy. I think you just can't see people going out."

"I……"

The Yao family's voice gradually disappeared, and Lu Zhi pulled Yao Shouning out of the inner courtyard.

The carriage he was riding in when he came was parked in the open space of the backyard, until the two of them stood still, Yao Shouning finally realized:
"you you--"

"what happened?"

Lu Zhi looked down at her, her face was very red.

It was just the end of spring at this time, and even though the sun was shining brightly, the weather was still a bit cold.

But her pretty face was smoldering red, and her eyes moved left and right, something seemed wrong.

"Why is your face so red?"

Lu Zhi reached out to touch her forehead, but she backed away as if she had seen a ghost.

"You, what are you..." Yao Shouning blushed a little more. Seeing that Shizi was dodged by him, he didn't give up and wanted to touch her forehead. She turned her head to avoid it, and asked in embarrassment:
"How do you..."

She couldn't say the next few words.

The prince likes her, it's just from the heart, he didn't say it out, if he finds out, wouldn't both of them have an embarrassing and speechless ending?

She hesitated.

Lu Zhi didn't have such careful thinking like her, he only knew that Yao Shouning would avoid him like a snake and scorpion after seeing him for a few days, as if his hands could bite people.

Seeing the girl dodging, he simply stretched out his long arms, clamped her body, and dragged her back to his side, making it difficult for her to break free, and then reached out to touch her forehead.

"Oh let me go—"

Yao Shouning pushed desperately with both hands, Lu Zhi was a little worried:

"Your face is so hot, shouldn't you be sick?"

"You are so annoying, let me go."

Yao Shouning blushed a little more when he heard the words, but he heard Shizi say with some grievances:

"I found that you treated me badly this time."

He didn't let go, but asked:

"Is it because I didn't come to play with you in February?"

"No, no!" She desperately denied.

"Are you angry?" he asked again.

"No!" Yao Shouning shook his head in denial.

But Shizi thought of the secret Duan Changya taught: Many times, girls just say what they mean, and when they say they are not angry, if a man believes it, he is really a fool!
He was vigilant in his heart, and decided to listen to Yao Shouning's words in reverse:

"In January and February, I took my mother's warrant and went to Jinzhou to transport a batch of grain back, which was delayed for some time."

Jinzhou is the fiefdom of the eldest princess. Although the eldest princess has stayed in Shendu most of the time these years, she has not given up control of her fiefdom.

After the accident in Shendu, a large amount of food was urgently needed to appease the victims.

The people of Jinzhou are tough, and Zhu Hengrui's private soldiers are stationed there, and she manages them like iron buckets, guarding against Emperor Shenqi.

This time, Zhu Hengrui simply sent his only son to borrow food in order to prevent accidents, just to buy time and save the lives of some victims.

"I know, I'm not angry—" Yao Shouning denied again.

The prince was dubious:
"You're not angry, why don't you look at me?"

She moved her eyes from left to right, her face was flushed, she really didn't dare to look into Shizi's eyes, as if she was covering her ears, she was deeply afraid of hearing Shizi's voice again.

"It's just because..." The 'lie' skill that Yaohu once affirmed failed in front of Lu Zhi at this time, Yao Shouning couldn't push Shizi's arm away, "You are so annoying."

Her words caused great damage to Lu Zhi.

"What's bothering me?" He let go of his arm with some injuries, and saw that Yao Shouning took a few steps back, with an unnatural expression, leaning against the carriage, looking a little vigilant, and couldn't help but take a step forward.

Unexpectedly, when Yao Shouning saw him coming, he remembered what Liu Shi and the others had said earlier, and was afraid that he would pull him again, so he hurriedly pushed open the carriage door and climbed up.

She was a little anxious to close the door, and the crack of the door even pressed a belt tied to the skirt.

"I rushed to come back before March, and I made an appointment with you to travel in March."

He was a little depressed, and he also climbed into the carriage and sat down, shaking the reins:
"I didn't know you were suddenly angry."

Lu Zhi was a little puzzled, and thought to himself: Sure enough, the girl's mind is dark and difficult to guess.

As soon as Yao Shouning got into the carriage, he sat on the floor with his back against the door.

She was greatly relieved that Shizi didn't force the car door to come in.

Although she couldn't see Shizi's face through the thin door panel, her keen perception made her sense that Lu Zhi was in a low mood at this moment.

She bit her finger, feeling guilty suddenly.

Shizi seems to have lost weight...

He was eating and sleeping in the open all the way, and he was definitely not as comfortable as in the general's mansion in Shendu City.

As he said, he rushed back to the capital of God just to make the appointment with himself in March...

And the three-month agreement was originally agreed between the two to find out the whereabouts of the 'River God', but now, in his opinion, he didn't seem to give him a good face.

She was a little uneasy, but also a little bit intolerable, and felt that her actions seemed to have hurt the heart of the prince.

An urge to open the door to explain arose, and then she remembered that Shizi liked her—how could Shizi like her?
She bit her nails twice more, and sat back down again.

"I'm not angry, I'm just a little scared."

"I believe it." Shizi said hypocritically, but thought in his heart: liar!

Yao Shouning gritted his teeth and emphasized:
"real."

After finishing speaking, she waited for a long while without getting a response from Lu Zhi, and finally couldn't bear it any longer. She knelt down, turned around, opened the car door, and shouted behind Shizi's back:
"What I'm saying is true!"

Lu Zhi turned his head and squeezed out a smirk, but the brows that used to be flying were lowered, his eyes were dim, and he looked a little frustrated.

"really!"

She reached out to touch Lu Zhi's shoulder, shook it twice, and emphasized twice:

"I admit that I am a little wrong today, but it is definitely not because you haven't come to play with me for two months."

Lu Zhi was also clear about her character, so he really believed her when he heard her say that.

But just as one doubt was cleared, another doubt arose:
"It's not because I didn't come to play with you, but because I don't want to go out with me?"

It was only when he confirmed his intentions that he was worrying about gains and losses, and a storm was blowing in his mind, trying desperately to think about the reason for Yao Shouning's abnormality.

"You live next to the Wen family, did the young lady of the Wen family invite you out?"

Having said that, he turned his head with sharp eyes.

Yao Shouning was inexplicably guilty of being stared at by him, and nodded:

"Yes, Xian, Xianrong is asking me out..."

"She is going out, so she must be with Wen Jing?" Shi Zi's tone became deeper.

"It seems to be..." Yao Shouning nodded again, feeling that something was wrong with Lu Zhi's expression.

She secretly moved the hand on his shoulder, and he said again:
"So you want to go out with Wen Jingsui, but you promised me, and you can't go back on your word, so you are sulking?"

He got angry while talking, thinking in his heart: Damn Wen Jingsui, you want to dig into my wall.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Yao Shouning was angry when he heard this, and evil came from his guts.

That day when Lu Zhi came back from the dead, the scene of the eldest princess beating him came back to her mind. Without thinking about it, she stretched out her hand and patted Lu Zhi on the head—'Slap! '

With a crisp sound, Shizi shrank his neck.

This pain is not painful, he has been beaten all year round, his skin is thick and fleshy, but under the iron palm of the eldest princess, he has formed a conditioned reflex, and he wants to hide when he is beaten.

After he finished hiding, he felt something was wrong:

"Why did you hit me!"

What the eldest princess said that day to teach Yao Shouning martial arts to strengthen his body reminded him, and he was extremely vigilant, clutching the back of his head:
"Don't follow my mother's example!"

"Who told you to talk nonsense!"

When Yao Shouning was accused by him at the beginning, he felt a little guilty, but when he thought of his nonsense, he still thought about Wen Jingsui in his heart, so he wanted to give him another blow.

"What did I say?" Shizi felt aggrieved, and quickly grabbed her wrist.

Yao Shouning hit him with the other hand again, he turned his head to avoid it, the palm fell softly on his shoulder, and he let out an 'ah'.

"It didn't hurt you, why are you screaming so loudly?" The anger in Yao Shouning's heart was drowned out with his 'scream'. She wanted to laugh, but she was afraid that the prince would make an inch of it, so she deliberately asked with a straight face.

The prince hurriedly turned his head to look at her, and saw that she had a stern face, her beautiful eyes were full of anger, it seemed that she was really angry, and with a move in her heart, she already knew that she was a villain.

Yao Shouning said:

"Xian Rong did ask me to go out, and Brother Wen really wanted to go with her. After all, there are so many people today, and when a girl goes out, her family must go with her."

After she finished speaking, she saw that Shizi's ears were slightly red, but trembling. He was obviously listening to her seriously, so she couldn't help pursing the corners of her mouth. When she spoke again, her voice was a little aggrieved:
"But I rejected her that day and said I had an appointment with someone. You wronged me indiscriminately and ruined Brother Wen's reputation." She said confidently:

"Do you think I should hit you?"

Lu Zhi felt like fireworks exploded in his heart, bubbles of joy rose from his heart, and 'gululu' gushed out.

He nodded again and again:
"It's my fault, you should hit me, you should hit me again."

After finishing speaking, he released Yao Shouning, lowered his head thoughtfully, and asked her to hit her again.

"……Humph!"

Yao Shouning raised his hand, seeing him like this, but couldn't continue the fight, so he hummed softly, sat on his back heels, and kept silent.

"I said something wrong, don't be angry with me, I just feel a little sad to see you ignoring me."

The prince quickly coaxed her:

"Never say it next time."

"I didn't ignore you, it's just...just..."

She thought of Lu Zhi's "heart voice" she heard earlier, her cheeks flushed again, her lips muttered and she couldn't speak.

Shizi went on to say:
"Seeing you like this, I'm naturally thinking wildly. Chang Ya said again, girl..."

He said a lot, and Yao Shouning's embarrassing and shy thoughts were diverted by him. Hearing the words, he said curiously:

"Brother Duan is married?"

"No--"

"Then does he have a woman he admires?" Yao Shouning asked again.

Lu Zhi shook his head and explained:
"We actually knew the prophecy of Daqing's imminent demise, so the generation of Shenwumen almost never considered the relationship between their children..."

Duan and Luo followed him to protect him from evil spirits.

"Then how does he know what the girl is thinking, and still speak clearly?" Yao Shouning asked with a smile.

Lu Zhiru was struck by lightning.

"puff--"

Seeing him like this, Yao Shouning couldn't help laughing.

The atmosphere gradually relaxed.

The awkwardness between the two due to the misunderstanding dissipated with this smile, the awkwardness in Lu Zhi's heart turned into joy, and the troubles that had arisen earlier turned into sweetness.

He also laughed, feeling that all the fatigue from the journey was gone in talking and joking with Yao Shouning.

She seemed to control his heart, making his emotions controlled by her emotions.
