Stopping in front of an ancient and spacious gate, Li Xinglan picked up Su Su and knocked on the lion-mouth copper ring on the door. After a while, a hunched old man opened the door.

He held up the oil lamp and tried to lift his sagging eyelids, surprised by Li Xinglan's sudden return. "Young Master, you're back..."

Li Xinglan nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Fifth Grandpa."

Then he took Su Su's hand and walked over the high threshold, and imitated those strange jokes she had told before, "Welcome to the place where I grew up, my delicate little princess~"

Su Su was amused by him. She quietly reached out and pinched his waist lightly, "Learning everything will only hurt you!"

Li Xinglan smiled brightly and walked straight to his inner courtyard with his arm around Su Su. Along the way, Su Su looked around curiously and even couldn't help touching the carvings on the eaves.

This is where Dog Brother lives. He has walked through this corridor countless times. She can even imagine how high-spirited he was at that time. It is really a wonderful feeling.

The ancient and dignified mansion was extremely large, and was even more shocking than the original Pingwu Palace. It had no gorgeous decorations, but simple white walls and black tiles. After walking for a long time, winding around, we finally stopped in an inner courtyard surrounded by mountains and waters.

Li Xinglan pushed the door open and walked in, holding Su Su's hand tightly. "Usually, Second and Third Fathers are not here, and only Fifth Grandpa is guarding the door. I haven't been back for a long time, and there is no popularity at all."

Entering the room, Li Xinglan lit the candles. Perhaps fearing she might be frightened, he added two more oil lamps. "I'll go get some hot water. You can play in my room. Don't go out, or you might get lost and lose your way back."

Su Su nodded obediently, but said unconvincedly: "How can I be that stupid!"

"Hehe~ Not stupid, you are the smartest." Li Xinglan smiled and rubbed her head. He couldn't help but gave her a quick kiss while she was still not reacting, then turned around and left with satisfaction.

As soon as he left, Su Suzhen stayed in the room obediently. She looked around carefully, and for some reason, she felt a strange kind of throbbing in her heart.

Does this count as my first time at my boyfriend's house? Or my first time in his room, or something like that...

The furniture is all made of yellow pear wood, which is elegant and refined. There is a calligraphy inlaid with ice jade hanging on the wall, and there is a huge velvet carpet under the desk, which is obviously of great value.

Sitting on the pear wood carved bed, Su Su fiddled with the golden gauze curtains. It became particularly clear at this moment that Gou Zi was really a rich man. It was also difficult for him to bear the suffering he had endured when he fled in the past.

Li Xinglan carried a wooden basin filled with hot water he had boiled and quickly returned to the room, fearing that he would keep Su Su waiting for too long.

As soon as I entered the inner room, I saw her sleeping with her head tilted against the bedpost. The dim candlelight shone on her face, softening her facial features, making her look so well-behaved.

Squatting down, not wanting to disturb her, Li Xinglan picked up the handkerchief and gently wiped her face. He then took off her shoes, revealing her white jade-like feet, changed the handkerchief, held it, and wiped them carefully.

After covering her with a duvet and stuffing two hot water bottles into the quilt, Li Xinglan perfunctorily tidied herself up.

He picked up another quilt and extinguished all the candles. He knew that his body temperature was low, so he could only sleep in Su Su's arms through the quilt. Despite this, he still sighed with contentment.

Sweet dreams, my Su Su.

The next morning, Jiang He's vigorous voice came from outside. Li Xinglan opened his eyes irritably and wanted to cover Su Su's ears, but found that she was already awake and blinking at him.

Li Xinglan's face darkened. "Did I disturb your rest?"

Su Su shook her head and snuggled into his arms, "You slept so soundly."

After hearing her say that, Li Xinglan's dark face finally brightened up. He lowered his head and hugged Su Su back, rubbing her neck, "Okay, I won't leave you alone."

"I'm not that fragile!" She said, holding his hand. "Look, I'm so warm."

The two of them were so sweet and affectionate. Jiang He waited in the yard for a long time before the brother Gou Zi, whom he had been thinking about day and night, came out. When he saw him, his eyes sparkled.

"Gouzi! I brought your favorite pastries!" Jiang He stuffed the food in his hand into Li Xinglan's hand. "I took a day off today and ordered your favorite Huang Hezang. Let's have a good time together!"

Li Xinglan nibbled on the pastry in his hand, but stopped after two bites. "Su Su loves oil-fruits. Go buy some oil-fruits. Also, she loves spicy food. Huang Hezang is too bland. Let's try some spicy Jianghu dishes."

Hearing this, Jiang He was stunned. He looked at Li Xinglan with a strange expression. How could a healthy dog become like this after returning from a long journey?

He asked persistently, "Didn't you dislike strong-tasting foods in the past? Why are you only concerned about whether Su Su likes it or not now..."

Li Xinglan glanced at him and answered irrelevantly, "What's your name, Su Su? Call me sister-in-law!"

Jiang He touched his nose in disappointment. It was just as his elder sister said, love would make people no longer like themselves. How scary!

The two of them went to the main hall to reminisce about the past. Su Su didn't feel comfortable keeping them waiting for too long, so with the help of Rendong's skillful hands, she quickly packed up and went over.

Jiang He was asking Li Xinglan all sorts of questions when he saw Su Su coming over with her skirt lifted. He immediately looked at her with a sharp gaze.

Hiss... She didn't mean to say anything bad about her sister-in-law, but he didn't see what was so special about her that could make Gouzi change like this.

With this question in mind, Jiang He couldn't help but ask during lunch: "Gouzi, do you really love Su...Sister-in-law...?"

Li Xinglan picked up a piece of meat for Su Su, then looked up and rolled his eyes at Jiang He, "What kind of idiotic question are you asking?"

"No, I'm just curious. Why do you like it so much? You always ignored women before."

Su Su, who was busy showing off her fandom, perked up when she heard this. She looked at Jiang He and asked, "Brother Gou, have you ever had a girlfriend before?"

"What's a girlfriend?"

Jiang He had round puppy-dog eyes. He looked naive, somewhat similar to the youngest. Su Su became more friendly towards him and explained, "It's about a man and a woman who are dating, or a close relationship ready to discuss marriage?"

"Oh~ This is my girlfriend." Jiang He understood and nodded, "Gouzi has never had a girlfriend!"

After hearing this, Su Su was naturally happy, but also a little bit unconvinced, "How is it possible?"

How can I know all that if I've never had a girlfriend? Thinking of this, Su Su blushed and looked at Li Xinglan coquettishly, "Then where did you learn that?"

Li Xinglan was calm. Looking at Su Su's alluring appearance, he wanted to hug her and stick with her. He chuckled and said, "Just do what you think."

Afraid that Su Su wouldn't believe him, Jiang He even made a promise, "Really? Gouzi used to hang out with me. Except for Xiao Xiao from the Shangguan Mansion, no other girl could get close to him!"

The two people who were originally in love had their pink bubbles burst with a "pop". Su Supi smiled but couldn't help laughing, "Oh~ Besides Xiaoxiao from Shangguan Mansion~~ She must be very special~"

The tone was so sarcastic that Li Xinglan let out a surprised "Oh wow" in her heart, but Jiang He didn't hear it and continued to talk nonsense. "Yeah, I used to think they would be together, the kind of relationship you said about girlfriends. I didn't expect that Gouzi went out and changed into someone else, hehe~"
