safe house

Chapter 222
Hong Yixu talked a lot, and finally, she fell asleep in Zhongli's arms unknowingly.

Ugh!
Zhong Li sighed helplessly, he gathered the outer robe and wrapped him even tighter.He gently wiped away the teardrops on the eyelashes of the red dress, and sighed softly: "Why do you think you are doing this?"

There is such a broad shoulder next to him, but he turns a blind eye, and all the suffering is suffocated in one's heart.

Looking at Hong Yi's tightly clenched hands, his brows twitched undetectably.I can't help but think of the big burden I received.There are all kinds of wound medicines and antidote pills in it, and what's even more exaggerated is that there are 1000 taels of silver notes.

Without thinking about it, it was known that Luo Mingchuan sent them.

However, being able to keep things quietly without alarming him, the power of the other party should not be underestimated.

"Mingchuan... dead girl, you drank all the good wine." Hearing Hong Yi's raving, Zhong Li couldn't help laughing.

"She is also conscientious, but your sincerity to her has not been wasted."

･････････
The morning sun was bright and soft, Hong Yi closed her eyes and patted her forehead, muttering, "I really shouldn't drink so much, I have a lot of things to do today..."

Opening your eyes, looking at the big furry head next to your pillow, you almost fainted from fright, what's going on? !

How could Zhongli sleep on my bed?
She stared, trying hard to recall what happened last night, but found that she couldn't remember anything.She rolled her eyes, and a sly smile curled up at the corner of her mouth.

As the saying goes, stealing stolen goods from thieves!If he wakes up and is no longer in bed, and refuses to admit that he slept here last night, and just pretend that nothing happened, wouldn't everything be fine?
Regardless of the headache, she sat up lightly, but just as she was about to get out of bed, she found that her skirt was pressed under Zhongli's arm, and she couldn't pull it out no matter what.

How can it be so firmly pressed?

She didn't want to wake people up, but she couldn't pull off the skirt.After this busy meal, sweat came down.

Ugh!
Hong Yi sighed helplessly.

"What's wrong?" Zhongli blurted out his concerned words before opening his eyes, "Why are you sighing again? Is it a headache or thirst?"

Seeing Zhongli's dazed look, Hongyi couldn't bear it for a while, she was not stupid, how could she not understand Zhongli's intention?However, her future is destined to be a bumpy road full of thorns.

The more sincere Zhongli is to her, the more reluctant she is to implicate him.

When there was no response, Zhongli tried hard to open his eyes, "Are you awake? Is your head still hurting? Do you want some water?"

Looking at his dry lips, Hong Yi suppressed the emotion in her heart.Frowning, he pretended to be dissatisfied and asked, "Who told you to sleep here?"

Although she is in charge of the Red Clothes Workshop, she is still an innocent girl's house right now.This is why Zhongli valued her more, right? !Of course, Zhong Li has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and he is by no means a rigid person.

Perhaps because he has not woken up yet, Zhongli reacted a bit slowly, and asked with doubts in his eyes: "Didn't you ask me to stay?"

"Me?!" Hongyi's heart skipped a beat, her ears turned red, but in order not to show her timidity, she kept a straight face and pretended to be angry and asked back, "How is that possible?! Am I that kind of casual person?"

This pit is a bit big, Zhongli decided to bypass it.

He raised his hand and stroked the back of his head, "I thought you were moved by me, that's why... you hugged me and didn't let go."

What?I still hold you and don't let go?

"I... what did I say?" Hong Yi rolled her eyes, and felt guilty at the first glance.

It seems that you have feelings for me.

Zhong Li was happy in his heart, but his face was completely confused, "You don't remember what you said? You said..."

"Forget it, it doesn't matter!"

Hongyi was worried that she would tell the truth after drinking and said something she shouldn't have said.If he really allowed Zhongli to resume the game, then he would have to pretend not to know.

Seeing Hong Yi's lack of confidence, Zhong Li forcibly suppressed the corners of his mouth.Nodding honestly, "If you don't say it, don't say it! It's good to keep it in your heart."

What do you mean? !

Hong Yi stared, "Why do you think you are such a rascal?! You..."

"I received a package yesterday." Zhong Li said suddenly as if he just remembered it.

"What burden?" Hong Yi asked casually.I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.She couldn't wait to change the subject!It would be bad if you couldn't hide your thoughts while talking.

So cute!

The bottom of the clock was soft, "The burden is just an ordinary burden, but the contents inside are a bit strange. It's just some porcelain bottles. There are labels on the porcelain bottles, which record the functions of the medicines in detail."

"What else?" Hong Yi already knew it in his heart.

Zhongli didn't hide it from her, "There are still 1000 taels of silver."

"Damn girl, when I..." The words behind the red dress didn't say anything, but her heart skipped a beat, she couldn't tell what it was like, "Since the things are delivered to you, you should keep them carefully. "

"Okay, it's getting late, we should go out." Hongyi's mood was a little depressed.

"Click!" Just as the two stood up, a crisp sound broke the silence in the room.

Zhong Li looked at the inconspicuous jade pendant in a low voice, and saw the word "careful" on it sharply.Is this a warning to Hong Yi?
"What's the mystery of this oiran contest?" Zhong Li asked, frowning.

"What mystery could there be?!" Hong Yi said nonchalantly, "It's just that that dead girl loves to worry too much."

Zhongli was a little worried, "Miss Luo will not be aimless." There must be something here that I don't know.

Hong Yi sneered, "She likes to make a fuss too much! You are not a fledgling young man, have you never heard of the Huakui Competition in Jiangzhou Prefecture?"

Zhongli nodded, "I've heard of it, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes. But..."

"That's why I said that girl just likes to worry about it!" Hongyi interrupted him, and said in a relaxed tone, "There are many performances in Hongyifang, big and small, in a year. How can you be stage fright?!"

Zhong Li took it for granted, "Your skills and influence are enough to crush those people. So, isn't a leader within reach?!" Since she didn't want to talk, she didn't want to ask.

When you want to know, you will definitely know.

Hong Yi tightly held the jade pendant in his hand, and said silently in his heart: Ming Chuan, the one who should be careful is you!
