Siheyuan: No One Can Be Left Behind

In the early morning of the next day, Lin Shu, who had hardly slept the entire night, was very tired. He finally calmed down when it was almost dawn.

Lin Shu heaved a sigh of relief and was just about to take a nap when he saw Li Dongfang walking out, stretching lazily.

Lin Shu felt like he was going crazy. This was too much of a hassle. He didn't even give her any time to rest.

He quickly jumped up, looked at Li Dongfang and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Uh, you get up so early? There's no need. I'm going to the bathroom. You can sleep a little longer." Li Dongfang greeted him with a smile. He looked surprisingly energetic.

"I'll go with you." Lin Shu put on his shoes and was about to follow Li Dongfang out.

"No need, just in the yard, you can continue sleeping, I'll take a nap after we're done."

After returning from the toilet with Li Dongfang, Lin Shu had just laid down when he heard footsteps. It turned out that Xu Huizhen was worried that the child would wake up and look for his mother, so she limped back to her room.

When Xu Huizhen's room quieted down, there was movement from Li Dongfang's side...

When the yard became quiet again, the sky had begun to brighten and there were voices in the tavern in the front hall. Apparently someone had come to open the door.

Lin Shu scratched his messy hair and sat up, feeling as if his whole body was hollowed out.

Li Dongfang and Chen Xueru slept until almost noon, and Xu Huizhen did not get up until after 9 o'clock because the child started crying.

At lunch, the four of them sat together again. This was completely different from yesterday. Li Dongfang and Chen Xueru, who were like enemies yesterday, seemed to be in love. They fed each other, and Xu Huizhen, who was feeding her child next to them, rolled her eyes.

Li Dongfang, Chen Xueru and Xu Huizhen all had rosy complexions and looked radiant, only Lin Shu looked haggard, with dark circles under his eyes almost reaching his cheekbones.

"Xue Ru, do you live in the store every day now? Do you rent the store or do you own it?"

Li Dongfang asked Chen Xueru while eating a white flour bun.

"Well, I rent it. I usually live in the store. What's wrong?" Chen Xueru said after swallowing the food in her mouth.

"Ask the landlord of your shop if he wants to sell it, or you can just buy it." Li Dongfang said casually.

"I don't have any money. People can't even get enough to eat nowadays, and there are not many people who can make clothes." Chen Xueru curled her lips, indicating that she had never thought about it.

Xu Huizhen laughed and said, "He meant to buy it for you. Didn't you understand?"

"Ah? Give it to me?" Chen Xueru opened her mouth wide and the bun she had just taken a bite of almost fell out of her mouth.

"Don't you believe it or don't want it? Do you want it or not? I want it!" Xu Huizhen teased her.

Chen Xueru: "You wish."

"Huizhen, if you want a yard, you can also keep an eye out. If there is one you like and the landlord is willing to sell it, I will buy it for you." Li Dongfang said that any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem. He now has unlimited gold, and he will accept anything that is valuable.

Lin Shu has been to many courtyards with Li Dongfang. He originally thought that they were all owned by the women, but now it seems that they were all bought by Li Dongfang. But where did he get the money from?

Thinking of this, Lin Shu couldn't help but look critical. Should I report this to my superiors? Is there any problem with the source of this much money?

Just as Lin Shu had this thought, Li Dongfang immediately sensed it and looked at Lin Shu and said, "Don't think too much. I make extra money by treating patients, and I have several salaries. You should know this."

After hearing what he said, although Lin Shu didn't quite believe it, she still gave up the idea of ​​reporting it. Although Li Dongfang's personal style was not very good, he was still an okay person. At least he was quite caring towards her, especially when he helped her block the knife, which was so handsome. Even without him, she was confident that she would not be hurt.

Li Dongfang was secretly reminding himself at this time, wondering if things were going too smoothly for him to the point of losing his vigilance. If someone with ulterior motives were to take notice of this matter, he would not be able to explain himself. He must be more careful in the future and not get himself into trouble.

When Xu Huizhen and Chen Xueru heard Li Dongfang explaining this matter to Lin Shu, they looked at each other and stopped talking about the yard and started talking about other things.

After dinner, Li Dongfang took Xu Huizhen and Chen Xueru aside and secretly told them about the matters in the yard before leaving with Lin Shu.

Only at this point did Chen Xueru and Xu Huizhen have time to sit down and talk alone.

"Tell me, when did you start?" Xu Huizhen said with some displeasure in her tone.

Chen Xueru rolled her eyes and said, "You didn't see the bed sheet? Why are you asking?"

Xu Huizhen then remembered the red flowered bed sheet and frowned, "What are you thinking? Do you understand his situation? Why do you just jump in like that?"

Chen Xueru: "Didn't you make your choice long ago? And you're still blaming me. You can't just keep all the good things to yourself."

Xu Huizhen: "That's not what I meant. I meant that Li Dongfang has no intention of marrying anyone. Do you understand what I mean?"

Chen Xueru frowned slightly upon hearing this and asked, "Why are you still trying to get close to him?"

Xu Huizhen also showed a helpless expression and said: "I am the same as you. I was abandoned by a man. I just want to find someone to rely on. I don't want any reputation."

Chen Xueru also raised her eyebrows and said, "Why? It seems like I have to get something from him. Do you think that's normal?"

Xu Huizhen: "I just feel that you have raised pigs for so many years, and you just let Li Dongfang eat them so easily. I feel it's a bit unfair for you."

Chen Xueru: "Haha, thank you then. If you really want to do this for my own good, why don't you keep your distance?"

Xu Huizhen: "You really don't know how to appreciate kindness. If I hadn't gone to replace you yesterday, do you think you would still be able to sit here and eat today? You probably can't get down from the bed."

"Well, now that you mention it, I'm really a little scared. I'm a little traumatized now. Huizhen, please stop tossing me around. Thank you!" Chen Xueru was stunned for a moment before continuing to ask, "Is he always like this? This is too scary. I've heard that it only takes a few minutes to more than ten minutes, and no more than half an hour at most. But he... it's almost killing me."

"Do you understand how serious he is? He is not like this usually. He is always very sensible and as long as both parties are satisfied, that's enough. Maybe he drank too much yesterday and acted completely on instinct. Maybe that's why he was so reckless and endless." Chen Xueru thought for a moment and replied.

Chen Xueru then took a deep breath, feeling a little relieved, and said, "That's not bad. If every time is like yesterday, I really don't know how long I can last. I might be broken after just a few times."
