I want to be innocent, but they don't allow me

Li Mu was shocked when he heard the voice.

He turned around suddenly and looked, and his pupils suddenly shrank. In this cold twelfth month, cold sweat had already appeared on his back.

At the gate of the courtyard, there was still that pretty figure.

Behind her head, the ribbon tying her high ponytail fluttered in the wind.

Familiar bright eyes, familiar dimples

Li Mu could even picture her original appearance in his mind, seeing the exquisite curves wrapped in the dark purple skirt.

"Little bun!"

When he saw this girl, with whom he had had a spiritual connection for a long time, again, Li Mu was surprised to find that the evil thoughts he had before were gone from his mind.

“Qingyi, Wuyan also stared at me like this at first, but I chased him and taught him a lesson for dozens of miles.”

At this moment, Shen Sanniang suddenly spoke in a teasing tone, but her tone was full of love.

Li Mu came back to his senses, quickly stood up, looked down at Mo Liuying's toes, and bowed:

"Ying'er, long time no see."

When he said this, Li Mu felt something strange in his heart.

We've seen each other a long, long time ago...

However, when Mo Liuying heard the word "Ying'er", her face turned red involuntarily.

Li Mu also reacted suddenly and apologized quickly:

"I just entered a state of meditation, so my mind is a little unclear. Please don't blame me, Miss Mo."

But Li Mu's call of "Ying'er" sounded friendly and casual, and it didn't sound like a slip of the tongue at all.

Instead, it sounded as if he had called it countless times, and the tone was so natural.

The feeling that it was natural and should be so made Mu Zhen and Mo Wuyan, who were chatting behind them, suddenly shut up and turn their eyes to Li Mu.

"Why change the name? I think it's fine. Qing Yi can call me that. Ying Er won't have any objection."

When Shen Sanniang heard Li Mu blurt out the word "Ying'er", she giggled and looked at Mo Liuying beside her, saying meaningfully.

At this time, Mo Liuying's face was flushed, her expression was embarrassed, and there was a hint of anger in her eyes.

She no longer dared to look Li Mu in the eye, but since Shen Sanniang had spoken so, she could only respond with a soft, mosquito-like "hmm".

"Okay, it's time to eat dinner. Ying'er will cook today, Qingyi, you go and help. It's rare for me to have some free time, so let's enjoy this family happiness."

Seeing that Li Mu and the other man were both very embarrassed, Shen Sanniang waved her hand and made the decision.

Li Mu was stunned and thought, are we having dinner again?

Who ate the dishes I cooked before?

After complaining a few words inwardly, Li Mu calmed down a lot and followed Mo Liuying into the kitchen.

in the courtyard.

Mo Wuyan looked at Li Mu's back in surprise, and asked Mu Zhen beside him:

"What's wrong with this kid? Why is it that after entering into meditation, he seems to be a different person?"

Mu Zhen's eyes have never left Li Mu since Li Mu called out "Ying'er" just now.

The frown on his forehead furrowed and then relaxed.

He knew Li Mu relatively well.

If Li Mu really liked Mo Liuying, he would never behave like this.

More like...

Did something wrong?

Immediately, he glanced at Mo Wuyan beside him and said:

"Maybe it's because I'm about to start a family, so my mind is inevitably a little turbulent."

"Getting married?"

However, although Mo Wuyan did not feel anything strange when he heard this, Shen Sanniang could not sit still anymore. Her face darkened and she asked,

"What kind of family is this? Qing Yi wants to establish a consort for the Crown Prince?"

Mo Wuyan couldn't help but frown when he heard Shen Sanniang's unfriendly tone. He kicked Mu Zhen under the table, signaling him not to bring up things that were not related to the topic.

Mu Zhen ignored him completely and immediately told him about the emperor's arranged marriage.

"The emperor is so great? He can grant a marriage just like that? Prime Minister Lu? Is it that kid Lu Chongyun?"

Shen Sanniang had a bad attitude, and acted as if she didn't take the emperor and the top officials of the dynasty seriously at all.

When Prime Minister Lu's name was mentioned, his tone was even more disdainful.

However, before the anger here subsided, Mu Zhen immediately dropped an even more powerful bomb.

"Qing Yi actually doesn't like this marriage either. His heart belongs to Princess Yunhe of the current dynasty. But he is the Crown Prince after all, and the choice of the Crown Prince's Consort is not something he can decide."

Mu Zhen pretended to be heartbroken, sighed a few times, and then fell silent.

He is truly a good teacher who feels sorry for his students.

In the kitchen.

Li Mu heard all of this carefully, but did not take it seriously.

"Brother Qingyi, why don't you just go out, I'll be fine here."

Mo Liuying saw that Li Mu seemed to be preoccupied with something, so she whispered tentatively.

Li Mu shook his head and thought to himself,

"Old man Mu is making fun of me. I'm afraid I'll be tried in court if I get out."

Li Mu was not a fool, he could naturally see that Shen Sanniang intended to match him with Mo Liuying.

Besides, Mo Liuying is not only good-looking, but also exactly the type that can make Li Mu's heart fall in love.

Li Mu certainly enjoyed it.

I won't try to distance myself from you on purpose.

Especially since he holds the title of Prince of Yan, it is only natural.

But Li Mu’s current level is such that everything will come naturally once the fate has arrived.

I don't have the time to specifically go out and pursue any girl.

If the two of them have feelings for each other, that would be great. If not, Li Mu would not force it.

But those were just Li Mu’s previous thoughts.

And now...

Li Mu discovered that his feelings towards Mo Liuying seemed to have completely gone astray.

In the illusion, the two of them had unlocked countless postures, but in reality, they had only met twice.

But if Li Mu was left to wait for things to develop naturally, he was afraid that he would not be able to be as calm as before.

Damn possessive.

"Miss Liuying was doing an experiment before?"

Li Mu saw that the situation was a bit awkward and started chatting awkwardly.

When Mo Liuying heard Li Mu ask this, her face turned red again and she stammered:

"Well~ I'm sorry for making Brother Qing Yi laugh before."

Li Mu looked at Mo Liuying in front of him and felt familiar yet strange. The face was still the same, and the figure was the same...

But Mo Liuying at this moment was not as cheerful and bold as when they first met, nor was she as passionate and charming as in the illusion.

She is a typical shy and timid young lady from a rich family.

Li Mu thought for a moment and asked:

"Miss Liuying seems to be very afraid of me. Do you feel uncomfortable with me being here?"

Having experienced information bombardment before the time travel, Li Mu knew a little bit that a look or words could make a girl feel uncomfortable.

I think it was because I accidentally offended Mo Liuying before, which made Mo Liuying feel a little disgusted.

Or was it the sound of fireflies?

Li Mu was thinking about it, and then he saw Mo Liuying's expression change, and a hint of anxiety flashed in his eyes:

"No! Brother Qingyi didn't make Ying'er feel uncomfortable, it's..."

"What is it?"

Li Mu asked.

Mo Liuying bit her lip, glanced subconsciously at the courtyard, and said:

"My grandmother said that most men like reserved and gentle girls, so she asked me... asked me to be more restrained in front of Brother Qingyi."

Li Mu was stunned for a moment, then he felt happy.

This has been made very obvious.

Sure enough, you can’t fake your personality.

Mo Liuying is still that carefree girl who says whatever she wants.

However, despite this, Li Mu did not point it out directly.

He could understand this feeling. Mo Liuying might have some affection for him at this moment. Coupled with Shen Sanniang's unremitting efforts to bring them together, the current result was achieved.

If Li Mu acts too hastily, it might backfire.

It's not easy to be a scumbag.

"I don't know about other men, but I definitely prefer Miss Liuying's original appearance. It's very real... very... kind."

"Really?"

Hearing this, Mo Liuying turned around abruptly, kitchen knife in hand.

But the joy in his eyes was not concealed at all.

"Of course. What kind of experiment was Miss Liuying doing before? It seemed very dangerous."

Li Mu pointed at the kitchen knife that Mo Liuying was waving in front of him and asked.

Of course, the conversation should focus on topics that the other person is interested in. Li Mu felt that with the knowledge he had accumulated before the time travel, even if he didn't understand, he could still talk about something.

After all, the years of being a keyboard warrior were not in vain.

Mo Liuying raised her beautiful eyebrows, turned around, stomped the meat on the chopping board, and said:

"I forgot that Brother Qingyi is also a master of mechanical engineering."

Immediately, he paused and said in a very proud tone:

"I'm looking for something that can replace the true qi and manipulate my Mohist mechanism."
