Madam General, please run slower.

Seeing that Li was about to leave, the two men who were on the verge of a fight immediately stopped fighting. The protagonist was about to leave, so what was the point of them making a fuss here?

"Where are you going?" Yu Xun's tone was full of nervousness.

"In the kitchen, have dinner." Li answered briefly.

Yu Xiaochen waved to his dear uncle, "Uncle, don't worry. Xiaochen, just remember the position of the kitchen. I will take my sister there. I will make room for you. You can take your time to fight Uncle Meiying."

God knows how heavy Uncle Meiying's words "ex-husband" were for Yu Xiaochen's little head. He had been in the Blood Shadow Pavilion for five years and didn't know the relationship between Li and Yu Xun. He wondered why such a beautiful, powerful and ruthless sister would only save a little beggar like him. He thought it was because he looked pleasing. It turned out that this was his little aunt.

After Yu Xiaochen finished speaking, he pulled Li and ran towards the kitchen, fearing that he would be affected if he ran too slowly.

Yu Xun and Meiying looked at each other, and both saw displeasure in each other's eyes. Meiying snorted, caught up with Li in three or two steps, grabbed Yu Xiaochen by the back of his collar and lifted him up.

Yu Xiaochen was not afraid either. He put his arms around Phantom's neck skillfully and let the other hold him in his arms.

When Yu Xiaochen first arrived at the Blood Shadow Pavilion, he was only five years old and was dirty all over, but he was a lively and fearless person, making everyone in the Blood Shadow Pavilion like him. They would fight for a place to play with him every day. Seeing the two of them being so close, Li moved aside in disgust.

But this scene was really dazzling in Yu Xun's eyes. These three people looked like a loving family. This was obviously his house, but now he seemed like a guest who had intruded into someone else's home.

Yu Xun's depression overwhelmed his jealousy, and he only dared to follow them from a distance, for fear of disturbing the harmonious scene in front of him.

This phantom should be the good-looking servant that Wu Yu mentioned five years ago. If it is really him, then he has been with Li even longer than himself. Not to mention the phantom, judging from Yu Xiaochen's intimacy with Li, he may have been with Li longer than himself.

A lot can really change in five years, and he may not be able to catch up.

Meiying, who was playing with Xiao Chen, noticed that Li beside him deliberately slowed down his pace. He immediately understood and covered Xiao Chen's mouth and walked forward quickly.

Yu Xiaochen, who was laughing happily, looked at Phantom with a confused look on his face as he almost used Qinggong to escape. He reached out and pulled off his hand covering his mouth and asked in confusion: "Uncle Phantom, is there a ghost chasing you?"

"Yes, yes, and there are two of them. If we don't run faster, we will be too full to eat." Phantom said nonsense seriously.

"Oh, so scary, let's go to the kitchen to eat." The people following them were obviously his sister and uncle, not some ghost. Yu Xiaochen knew he was talking nonsense, but he didn't expose him. He stretched out his hand and pointed to the kitchen for Meiying.

"Little clever ghost." The phantom tapped Xiao Chen's forehead lightly, walked quickly in the direction he pointed, leaving space for the two people behind him.

Yu Xun, who was in a state of depression, did not notice that the distance between him and Li was getting closer. He muttered to himself, "It would be great if it were me."

"What would be fine?"

Li's sudden voice startled Yu Xun. When he came to his senses, he could no longer see Meiying and Xiaochen. Li was the only one left around.

Yu Xun, who was alone with Li, became inexplicably nervous again, "Nothing... nothing, I mean the meals should be ready."

Li Qing sighed and said, "The general really hasn't changed. No matter whether it was five years ago or five years later, he is unwilling to tell me his true feelings."

"I didn't." Yu Xun was not unwilling, but he clearly didn't dare. Five years ago, he didn't dare to confide in her because he didn't trust her, and now he was afraid that Li would hate him and run away from him after knowing the despicable thoughts deep in his heart, so he didn't dare to say more.

"If the general says there is no such thing, then there is no such thing." Li shrugged indifferently and said nothing more.

Yu Xun subconsciously followed Li's pace and walked side by side with him. After struggling for a while, he finally asked, "Are you angry?"

"?" Li found that after the reunion, he was less and less sure about what Yu Xun was thinking. "Why should I be angry?"

"If I tell you that I was just jealous of the girl called Phantom, would you be angry?" Yu Xun asked in one breath, grabbing Li's arm as if he had given up all hope.

"General, why don't you tell me in detail what you are jealous of?" Li looked at him in surprise. This man wouldn't be jealous of Phantom's appearance, but Phantom did have a face that made people envy.

"I... I'm jealous that he can be with you..." Yu Xun's voice became smaller and smaller. It was clearly him who drove that person away back then, but now he was regretting that the person by her side was not him. He felt that he was a bit cheap.

Li didn't expect Yu Xun to be uncomfortable with this matter. He blinked and talked about something else. "General, do you think you will be rewarded for your reaction just now?"

Yu Xun's thoughts were immediately pulled back by Li, "I don't know, will I have it?"

When I saw Xiao Chen just now, I was too excited to think about the reward. After seeing Phantom, my mind was blown and I couldn't think about it anymore. Besides, the reward was just something he mentioned casually. Whether there is a reward or not is a subjective decision.

"I think so." Li's mouth corners slightly raised a few points, looking at Yu Xun's ears that turned red again, he felt his hands itching again, "So what reward does the general want?"

After Li finished speaking, many things he wanted to do with her emerged in Yu Xun's mind, each one more excessive than the last.

Yu Xun immediately stopped thinking about it, not daring to meet Li's gaze, "One year, is it okay to live in the general's mansion for one year?"

? That's it? Li's mouth twitched slightly. He didn't expect that he would make such a request after thinking about it for so long.

I thought he would suggest something like hugging and kissing, and going to bed, but I silently despised my own dirty thoughts.

Yu Xun, who was worrying about whether the time would be too long and embarrassing, was stunned after hearing Li's "OK".

"You really agreed?!"

Hearing Yu Xun's surprised tone, Li raised his eyebrows slightly, "General, do you want me to agree or not?"

"Of course I hope you agree." Yu Xun was in a good mood now. Even if he saw the phantom, he could magnanimously pretend not to see it. "I have had people cleaning the West Courtyard, so you can move in directly. I asked the housekeeper to move all the medicinal herbs rewarded by the palace to the West Courtyard. If you need anything, you can tell me directly.

Yes, you have a good relationship with Wei Shiliu, I will ask him to come back from Chaozhou right now, and I have kept the cook you like, I will let her make your favorite pig's trotters tonight, and also..."

Listening to Yu Xun's chattering, Li couldn't help laughing out loud.

Yu Xun didn't know why Li was laughing, and felt a little flustered, "What's wrong... am I meddling too much..."

Li smiled and shook her head. "Let's go, let's go eat first, and we can talk about other things later. We have plenty of time."

"Okay." Yu Xun nodded in agreement.

Yes, he still has a year, and if he takes his time he will definitely keep the person by his side.
