In the yard on the first floor, Shen Qingli was playing with fireworks, while Gu Ci was watching from the side. His focused eyes were so scorching.

Gu Ci was looking at the fireworks when he suddenly felt a strong gaze that he could not ignore.

He looked in that direction and unexpectedly met Gu Peisi's eyes. Their gazes met in the air, and undercurrents surged.

"Gu Ci, try this."

Shen Qingli brought out a new fairy wand and handed it to Gu Ci.

Gu Ci took it, turned his head to look at the second floor, and cast a provocative look at Gu Peisi.

Gu Peisi had a blank expression on his face. After glancing at Shen Qingli, he suddenly closed the window.

Seeing this scene, Gu Ci’s eyes darkened.

Brother, it seems that you have special feelings for her, but it’s a pity that you haven’t discovered this yet.

Things are getting interesting.

"Gu Ci, what are you looking at?" Shen Qingli saw the smile disappear from Gu Ci's mouth and thought he saw something interesting. She followed his line of sight but saw nothing.

Gu Ci withdrew his gaze and looked at Shen Qingli with gentle and affectionate eyes.

He didn't know that there was something wrong with the way he looked at her.

"Nothing to see, let's continue."

"Oh."

After playing for a long time, Shen Qingli felt a little tired.

It had been a long time since she had felt so relaxed, and she couldn't help but sigh.

When she was a child, her family was poor. During the Chinese New Year, she asked Zhao Zilan if she could buy her fireworks, but Zhao Zilan rolled her eyes at her.

Every time she saw the neighborhood kids setting off fireworks, she could only envy them.

Later, the Shen family became better off and Shen Qingrong wanted to set off fireworks, so Zhao Zilan bought them for her without saying a word.

She also wanted to play, but Zhao Zilan said that this was for her younger sister to play with, and as an older sister, she should be more considerate of her younger sister.

She also said that the family's money did not come from the wind. She ate and spent all the family's money, and she had no gratitude or understanding for her parents.

She was still a child at that time and could only listen to Zhao Zilan and dared not refute.

I am now able to buy the things I once desired, but I no longer have the same desire for them.

In the hall, Shen Qingli was in a daze.

"What are you thinking about?" Gu Ci looked at her and handed her the tea.

She sat on the sofa, not knowing what she was thinking, the loneliness in her eyes was so obvious.

He couldn't help but want to find out more.

Shen Qingli took the cup, held it in her hand, and watched the tea leaves in the cup rise and fall, just like her mood.

After taking a sip, she placed the cup on the table.

Why hasn’t Gu Peisi finished talking yet? It’s so late now, she wants to go back.

Could it be that they are going to stay for one night?

At this time in the past, no matter how late it was, Gu Peisi would leave the old house and didn't want to stay here.

Shen Qingli knew very well that if they stayed here, grandpa would let them live together and develop feelings for each other.

Gu Peisi didn't like her, so naturally he didn't want to stay here.

It's already this late today, why hasn't he come down yet?

"Nothing." Shen Qingli was in a low mood about Gu Ci and didn't want to say too much.

Gu Ci's teasing voice rang in Shen Qingli's ears, "Let me guess, you're wondering why my brother hasn't come down yet?"

Shen Qingli's face felt slightly hot after her secrets were exposed.

When she came to her senses, she found that Gu Ci was very close to her.

She pulled back a little and frowned, "Gu Ci, don't get so close to me."

Seeing her subconsciously avoiding him like a snake or scorpion, Gu Ci felt uncomfortable.

In her heart, only Gu Peisi can get close to her.

"What? Are you scared?" Gu Ci suddenly came closer, his peach blossom eyes narrowed nonchalantly, and his gaze became more and more presumptuous.

Shen Qingli's eyelashes trembled, and she whispered, "What nonsense are you talking about, Gu Ci, it's so late, why don't you leave?"

"You haven't left yet, have you? You're waiting for my brother, and you don't know how long you'll have to wait. Why don't you leave with me?"

If she left with him, Gu Peisi would probably be very upset when he found out.

When Gu Ci was about to do something, a strong arm pulled him away.

"Gu Ci, what are you doing!" Gu Peisi frowned slightly and pursed his thin lips.

As soon as he went downstairs, he saw Gu Ci sticking close to her, as if he was going to do something to her.

He sensed something was wrong and unconsciously quickened his pace.

Gu Ci shook off Gu Peisi's hand and said sarcastically, "Oh, you are willing to come down."

"My sister-in-law is bored here alone, so I'm here to talk to her. Brother, are you jealous?"

Gu Ci's words made Shen Qingli at a loss.

She didn't know what was wrong with Gu Ci, and he suddenly said some inexplicable words, which led to Gu Peisi's misunderstanding.

"Gu Ci, if you have nothing to do, go back early." Gu Peisi's lips were tightly drawn, with a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.

The air pressure around him was getting lower and lower, and everyone could tell that he was in a bad mood at the moment.

"Brother, you are so boring. No wonder my sister-in-law treats you coldly." Gu Ci said meaningfully.

Hearing this, Gu Peisi cast a sharp gaze towards Shen Qingli. His narrow eyes seemed to be able to see through people.

Facing Gu Peisi's oppressive gaze, Shen Qingli couldn't help but feel a little nervous and couldn't help swallowing.

"Gu Peisi, don't listen to his nonsense, he is joking." Shen Qingli raised her little face and said in a nonchalant manner.

These two brothers don't get along, why involve her?

We are about to leave the old house, so why not say hello to grandpa before leaving.

Shen Qingli stood up, and when she passed by Gu Peisi, he stopped her.

"Where are you going?"

"We are leaving soon, right? I have to say hello to Grandpa before I leave."

Shen Qingli looked at him puzzledly.

"Who said we were leaving? Grandpa said we should stay here tonight."

"But..."

"No buts. Do you still want to refute grandpa?" Gu Peisi interrupted her with a sharp look in his eyes, not allowing her to say a word.

Gu Ci glanced at Gu Peisi with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

His brother must have done it on purpose. He clearly wanted to stay, but he insisted that it was grandfather who forced him to do so.

Gu Ci's casual gaze was caught by Gu Peisi. He looked indifferent, with a hint of disgust in his eyes, "Gu Ci, why don't you leave?"

Gu Ci snorted coldly, "Sister-in-law, my brother doesn't like me, so I'd better leave. We'll make an appointment to play together next time. By the way, setting off fireworks with you tonight is my happiest moment."

Gu Ci said this deliberately before leaving.

Sure enough, when Gu Peisi heard this, his expression changed.

Shen Qingli didn't notice this, she nodded, "Okay, we'll play together next time."

After Gu Ci left, the air suddenly froze.

Somehow, Shen Qingli felt that Gu Peisi was in a bad mood.

However, she didn't have time to care about how he felt.

Just now, Ji Tiantian created a group, which included her and Jian Xi.

Jian Xi happened to have some free time recently, so she was talking about gossips in the entertainment industry in the group.

Shen Qingli immediately became interested and focused all her attention on the phone.

Seeing that Shen Qingli ignored him, Gu Peisi felt a little complicated.

In the past, when they celebrated the New Year in the old house, the old man would let them stay for a night.

At that time, he didn't want to contact her and would always find excuses to leave.

He didn't know when it started, but he gradually got used to her presence.

Even if the old man asked them to stay here, he had no objection.

Shen Qingli couldn't help but laugh out loud when she saw the interesting gossip.
