The little village girl dressed as a disaster star led the whole village astray

Li Xi didn't have time to wait for anyone to put the horse stool in place, and jumped directly off the carriage.

Seeing this, Gu Jingzhi, who was waiting at the door, hurried towards her.

Li Xi also ran towards him quickly, and after three or two steps, she ran directly into his arms.

"I'm back." Li Xi buried her head in his chest.

Gu Jingzhi threw down the lantern and hugged her back with both hands, "Yeah, I know."

The candle in the lantern that fell to the ground fell over, instantly igniting the lantern. The fire flickered beside the two of them, and the dancing flames were reflected at their feet.

Seeing this, Zhang Hao tactfully gestured behind him and quietly retreated with his brothers.

Li Xi was actually not a person who was very good at expressing her emotions. Today, for some reason, when she lifted the curtain and saw him standing in front of her house holding a lantern and waiting for her, her heart suddenly warmed. By the time she came to her senses, she was already hugging him tightly.

Li Xi reacted and let go of him embarrassedly, leaving his arms.

"How did you know I would come back today?"

After Li Xi finished speaking, she suddenly realized that she had asked a stupid question. She knew that someone must have told her about her return today. As for who that person was, she thought it must be Zhang Hao.

Sure enough, the next moment she heard Gu Jingzhi say, "At noon, Zhang Hao sent a pigeon to say that you will be able to arrive today.

I was worried that you wouldn't be able to get into the city before the gates were locked, so I sent someone to deliver the Kaicheng token."

"So this is ah."

Li Xi let Gu Jingzhi hold her hand and walk into the yard.

She wondered why Zhang Hao was so stubborn. The city gate was obviously closed, but he still wanted to use the token to open it. It turned out that it was an order from his superiors.

In fact, so many days have passed, she didn't mind sleeping one more day in the carriage. Her carriage was still very comfortable when she was not in a hurry. However, of course, her own bed at home was more comfortable.

"Where's Huzi?"

After entering the yard, Li Xi looked around the yard carefully in the moonlight. Well, it was very good, basically there was no change from before she left.

"During the time we were in the capital, Hu Zi has been living with the teacher in the clan school. Because I was not sure whether you could come back today, I did not send anyone to inform him.

Or should I send someone to call him now?"

As Gu Jingzhi said this, he was about to call for someone.

Li Xi stopped him and glared at him angrily, "Don't you see what time it is now? Hu Zi might have already fallen asleep at this hour, so don't disturb him.

There's no rush, see you tomorrow."

Li Xi waved her hand nonchalantly, "Don't disturb Master Huzi's rest then."

"Okay." Gu Jingzhi smiled and led Li Xi into the house. Late at night, a glimmer of light flashed in Gu Jingzhi's eyes.

After entering the house, Gu Jingzhi pulled Li Xi to sit down at the table.

"You must be hungry after a long day of traveling. I asked someone to prepare some food for you. Would you like some?"

As he spoke, he opened the food box on the table, which contained the signature dish he had specially asked Su Bo to prepare.

"I'm really hungry." Li Xi didn't hesitate, "Then you set the table first, I'll go wash my hands."

Li Xi said as she walked to the basin rack, intending to fetch some water to wash her hands. However, as soon as she reached the basin, she saw half a basin of water with a little bit of hot steam still coming out of it.

She looked at the warm water in the basin and felt warm in her heart. She turned around and looked at Gu Jingzhi. He was taking food out of the lunch box and arranging it. His tall figure looked even warmer under the dim oil lamp.

Li Xi looked at his back, a warm smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, she simply washed and dried her hands and walked over to sit down.

There were two dishes on the table, one meat and one vegetable, and a bowl of porridge, which was warm and stomach-nourishing. The quantity of these dishes was obviously prepared for Li Xi alone.

As soon as Li Xi sat down, Gu Jingzhi handed her the chopsticks and said, "It's getting late. Finish your meal early and rest early."

"Aren't you going to eat?"

"I have already had dinner. These are prepared specially for you." Gu Jingzhi said seriously and sincerely.

Li Xi didn't continue to persuade him after hearing that. He was already such an adult, he would definitely not treat himself badly. Since he said he was not hungry, then forget it and let him eat by himself.

As usual, after dinner, Gu Jingzhi would go for a walk with Li Xi to help digest the food.

But he also knew that Axi had been busy these days, and he knew that she must be very tired at the moment, so he told her, the bathtub in the bathroom has been filled with hot water, and the temperature should be just right now, so go and take a good bath to relieve your fatigue.

"Boyfriend, why are you so considerate?"

Li Xi smiled and took Gu Jingzhi's arm, thinking to herself, it was not in vain to have this boyfriend, he is very responsible.

"Isn't that thoughtful? Get up and take a bath, the water will get cold soon."

Hearing this, Li Xi quickly stood on tiptoe and kissed Gu Jingzhi on the right cheek, then ran away like a butterfly, "Thanks, I'm going to take a bath."

Watching Li Xi's disappearing back, Gu Jingzhi recalled the feeling of the touch on his face just now, smiled and shook his head, asking her to call him and wait for her to come out.

After a long journey, you really need to take a good bath to relieve your fatigue.

Li Xi was soaking in the warm bathtub and didn't want to get up. Not only that, she felt more and more sleepy the more she soaked.

After cleaning up the table, Gu Jingzhi saw that Li Xi had not come out for a long time. He frowned, walked to the bathroom door, and knocked twice, "Axi? Axi?"

Li Xi, who was half asleep and half awake, heard the sound and opened her eyes hazily. Then she realized that she was still soaking in the bathtub.

"I'm fine, I'll be right out."

Li Xi listened to the increasingly rapid knocking on the door outside, shouted outside, and then quickly stood up.

Gu Jingzhi didn't get a reply for a long time and was about to break in, but when he heard Li Xi's voice, he felt relieved.

Not long after, Li Xi opened the door and came out of the bathroom, still damp from her shower. Maybe she came out in a hurry, her hair was still wet, and water droplets seeped into her underwear from the ends of her hair, forming a wet stain.

Gu Jingzhi looked at the picture of the beautiful woman emerging from the bath in front of him, his Adam's apple rolling up and down unconsciously, and he subconsciously withdrew his gaze from looking directly at Li Xi.

"What? Are you shy?" Li Xi saw him like this.

Li Xi was a little speechless when he saw this. Except for the last step, they had done everything they should have done. He was actually being innocent at this time.

Gu Jingzhi heard the teasing in Li Xi's words, and looked at Li Xi in a very natural manner, and took the towel from her hand from behind, "Sit down, I'll help you dry your hair, it's not good to fall asleep with wet hair."

Li Xi studied medicine, so she naturally knew that it was not good to sleep with wet hair. When she heard Gu Jingzhi's urging voice, she hurried out and came out without drying her hair.

Now that someone is eager to work as a laborer, she naturally won't refuse.

"Okay."

Li Xi said as she pulled a stool over and sat down in front of Gu Jingzhi, "You can start now."
