Quick Wear: Salted Fish anchor always eats melons on the scene

The next morning, Zuo Xiang arrived as scheduled.

Compared with the last time they met, Zuo Xiang looked a little haggard. She was wearing a light red skirt that showed her good health, but her manners were still graceful and elegant.

As soon as she saw Shi Li, she came forward warmly and asked the maid behind her to bring up the gift she had brought.

Shi Li took the gift personally and invited her to her courtyard.

On the way, Zuo Xiang did not look around and behaved in a generous and appropriate manner.

When they arrived at Shi Li's courtyard, there were only two of them and the maid serving them. Zuo Xiang restrained his smile slightly and laughed bitterly.

"I came here at this time, do you think I have some ulterior motives?" Her voice was weak and forced to be calm, which made people feel pity for her.

Shi Li immediately shook her head and denied it. "What are you talking about? I have only been in Ding'an for a short time and I don't have any friends to hang out with. I am very happy to see you."

They were new friends but spoke in a deep way. Most of what Shi Li said was just polite talk. Zuo Xiang didn't take it seriously. He just lowered his eyes and looked at Shi Li sincerely.

"I really want to get to know you. There are almost no people around me. I used to be able to talk to my sister, but now I'm alone..."

When she said that, Shi Li had to comfort her a little. After all, Zuo Xiang's sister was her former sister-in-law.

"You don't have to do this. When you have time, come and play with me. I welcome you."

The two talked for a while and drank tea.

Afterwards, Shi Li suggested taking Zuo Xiang for a walk in the back garden. After all, since they were already here, they couldn't stay stuck in the house all the time.

"I'll follow the host's wishes. Thank you for your help." Zuo Xiang's complexion looked much better now, with a hint of smile on his lips.

The lotus flowers were no longer visible, but some of the early-blooming chrysanthemums were also very beautiful. Shi Li asked the maid to bring out the two puppies and take them for a walk.

No girl can resist two cute puppies. Zuo Xiang fell in love with them at first sight. Regardless of her status, she bent down and picked up one of them, holding it in her arms and teasing it affectionately.

Seeing her like this, Shi Li began to doubt whether she was really overthinking it.

The other puppy that was not picked up kept circling around her legs, whining and wanting to be held.

Shi Li couldn't stand its cuteness and coquettishness, so she had to pick it up as well.

Two people and two dogs were walking and chatting about irrelevant things.

But later on, Zuo Xiang still felt a little sad. He stared blankly at the newly blossomed chrysanthemums in front of him and said in a very soft voice, "I don't know if I can see such beautiful flowers again in the future."

A few days ago, she was about to become the noble consort of the Third Prince. But now, the Third Prince has become a commoner, and her future life can be imagined.

Shi Li didn't know how to comfort him, and was silent for a while. Zuo Xiang seemed to realize that he had said the wrong thing, and forced a smile, "I heard that His Royal Highness Prince Rong is also recuperating in the mansion. Should I go and see him?"

"He...his leg injury hasn't healed yet, he's in a bad mood all day and doesn't allow anyone to visit him." Shi Li's heart moved slightly, and he answered in a nonchalant manner.

She had thought that Zuo Xiang might say this before, and she didn't know what her purpose was, but she still told Xie Yan'an about it.

Xie Yan'an didn't hesitate for a moment and directly gave this excuse, saying that he didn't want to see anyone at all.

"Okay then, don't bother me." Zuo Xiang just mentioned it casually, and after hearing it, he didn't have any intention of insisting on going.

At noon, Li arranged a sumptuous meal and entertained Zuo Xiang well.

After all, the two had only known each other for a short time, and there was no reason for Zuo Xiang to keep bothering him, so he tactfully left after lunch.

Shi Li sent her to the second gate. After watching her get on the carriage, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned to walk towards Xie Yan'an.

He was sitting on the bed bored, flipping through a book, his hands turning the pages impatiently. He looked up when he heard footsteps, and immediately smiled when he saw Shi Li.

"Just in time, I want to eat an apple."

Shi Li: ...

She's not a professional apple peeler.

But Xie Yanan didn't really want to eat the apple, he just wanted to watch her peel the apple.

The two of them knew each other very well.

Shi Li glared at him silently, picked the worst apple, sat down and slowly began to peel it.

Xie Yanan stopped reading and just looked at her.

From time to time, I would deliberately say, "You peel so slowly."

"Say another word and I'll make you eat apple peel." Shi Li gestured with the knife, and Xie Yan'an suddenly didn't dare to speak.

The years are quiet and good, just like this.

After the Third Prince fell, the Crown Prince immediately "came back to life". However, because Xiang Yinyao had dragged his feet twice without knowing why, the Crown Prince cruelly kept her in the East Palace, and did not allow her to leave the East Palace in the name of taking care of the baby.

On this day, Shi Li received another letter from Zuo Xiang.

The letter said that he wanted to invite her to a teahouse for tea.

Shi Li didn't want to go, but the maid who came to deliver the letter said, "Our young lady has lost a lot of weight in the past few days and can't eat all day. Miss Shi, please help persuade her."

Shi Li was not a hard-hearted person, and besides, it was just a teahouse, so there wouldn't be any problem. After hesitating for a while, Shi Li finally agreed.
