Siheyuan: Crossing the two worlds, if you don't obey, you will be a beast

Her body was trembling slightly, swaying like a leaf in the wind. Her eyes were confused and flustered, and she looked at the strange looks from all around her without knowing what to do. Those looks were like sharp arrows, shooting straight at her, leaving her with nowhere to escape.

All of this did not escape Li Dongyu's eagle-like eyes. He was known for his sharp eyes, and any slight changes in her expression could not escape his observation. At this moment, he keenly captured her unusual expression, and the doubts that existed in his heart suddenly snowballed and became more and more intense.

However, Han Chunming didn't notice any of this at the moment. His mind and eyes were full of the marriage proposal, a matter that would affect his lifelong happiness. His excitement and nervousness were intertwined, leaving him no time to think about anything else. When he couldn't wait to take the new glass of wine from her hand, he hurriedly bowed and said goodbye to everyone, then turned around and strode away, leaving only a hurried back.

As for her, she seemed to be under a spell, her beautiful eyes always closely following Han Chunming's figure that was gradually moving away and finally disappearing, as if she wanted to imprint him deeply in her eyes. It was not until the familiar back was completely integrated into the crowd in the distance and there was no trace of him anymore that she came back to her senses as if she had just woken up from a dream.

Although Li Dongyu was full of doubts, it was inconvenient for him to ask what happened in the current situation. So he had to bury this doubt deep in his heart for the time being, and secretly made up his mind that when he found a suitable opportunity in the future, he must thoroughly understand this matter.

She slowly raised her right hand, and gently touched her chest as if she was afraid of disturbing something. Her heart was beating violently at this moment, like a bird trapped in a cage, desperately trying to break free and fly high. She exhaled a long breath, trying to calm her flustered mood.

She secretly felt lucky that she had escaped danger this time, relying on her own quick response and superb acting skills to successfully get away with it temporarily. However, this luck did not last long, and was soon replaced by worries. When she thought that she might accidentally reveal a flaw due to some carelessness in the future, and then let others know the secret that she had buried deep in her heart for a long time, she couldn't help but feel panic in her heart.

Although her heart was already surging like the mighty sea, on the surface, she still tried her best to maintain her composure. She forced herself to turn around as if nothing had happened, and re-entered the seemingly complicated and trivial tasks at hand.

However, what was unexpected was that at this moment, Xu Huizhen seemed to be isolated from the world, and she was deeply immersed in her own complicated and messy ocean of thoughts, so much so that she completely forgot one crucial thing - in this small and slightly simple tavern that she had worked hard to run, she was not the only one! It was true that there was clearly another living person with flesh and blood here, and this person was none other than Li Dongyu.

It seems that even Xu Huizhen, who is always known for her shrewdness and ability, would make such an oversight and completely forget about Li Dongyu's existence.

To be honest, she didn't blame herself too much for this. After all, from the moment Li Dongyu stepped through the threshold, Xu Huizhen's mood was like riding a fast-paced and ups-and-downs roller coaster, filled with joy at one moment and nervousness at another.

Such complicated and turbulent emotions were entangled and overlapped like a tangled mess, making Xu Huizhen restless and confused at the moment. Her originally smart and alert brain seemed to have suffered a serious malfunction in an instant, like a machine suddenly stopped, and instantly became empty, losing the ability to function normally and think about problems. In this case, she naturally entered a special state - she had a wonderful reaction to the existence of Li Dongyu in front of her, which was almost automatic shielding.

From a certain perspective, her behavior can undoubtedly be seen as a way of escaping reality. You know, it is a common thing for her family's tavern to welcome Han Chunming to come and get two pots of wine in the early morning just to propose marriage. Normally, such a scene should not cause her too much emotional fluctuations.

However, the situation was quite different for the man named Li Dongyu. The two of them had just met for the first time the night before. Although deep in her heart, she did not feel the slightest dislike for Li Dongyu, and even vaguely developed a slight indescribable affection for him.

However, time flies, and in this long journey of life, countless ups and downs have gradually worn out her once fiery heart. Now, her heart has gradually cooled down like a charcoal fire blown by the cold wind, and it has tightly closed its heart door, like an indestructible wall, and is no longer willing to easily open her heart to others and accept new emotions and warmth.

At this moment, this person suddenly broke into her long-closed world without any warning. Faced with such a sudden situation, she was a little overwhelmed for a moment, and it was inevitable that her reaction became unusually slow.

"Hello, Miss Xu. If you are not too busy right now, could you please light the stove first? This way, you can dry your wet clothes, and we can sit down and have a good chat at the same time."

Just when Xu Huizhen was still in a state of confusion, a strange man's voice suddenly rang out. This voice was like a thunderclap, instantly breaking the originally silent air, and frightened Xu Huizhen, who still had a glimmer of hope in her heart, so much that she trembled all over.

"Ah... that!" She couldn't help but let out a soft cry, quickly covering her surging, slightly trembling plump chest with one hand, and holding the table beside her with the other hand to stabilize her body. At this moment, she stared at Li Dongyu who had just spoken with her eyes wide open in disbelief, and her originally beautiful face instantly flushed red.

It was not until then that Xu Huizhen, who had always been careless and negligent, realized as if awakened from a dream that in the small pub she ran, there actually sat a man who could easily touch her heart that had been closed for so long.
