It was late at night and Jiang He tossed and turned, unable to sleep. He jumped out of bed, put on a thin inner garment and casually put on an outer coat, walked to the desk, and sat upright to read the Art of War.

Gouzi had gone on a long journey and had changed a lot! He couldn't afford to fall too far behind. Thinking of the legendary gold medal jungler Er Gouzi, Jiang He was even more dissatisfied.

The only brother who can stand behind Gouzi is me! One day, I will also be like them and enjoy the world!

Jiang He read by lamplight at night, and so did Li Xinglan, but the book he was reading at that time was called Su Su.

Su Su was holding a hot water bottle in her arms, and Li Xinglan was holding her in his arms, hugging her from behind and holding her in his arms domineeringly.

He liked the smell of him on her body. His hands wandered restlessly. He leaned against her and seduced her with a low, sexy voice, "Help me?"

Move over, old darlings should know where to go.

After struggling for a long time, Li Xinglan was finally satisfied. Su Su wanted to cry but had no tears. Her waist and body ached.

She watched Li Xinglan get up, dress, and get some hot water to clean himself. Unable to hold back, she raised her foot and wanted to kick him. "You bastard! You've got so much energy that you can't use up all day, and now you're using it on me!"

Without even turning his head, Li Xinglan grasped her delicate feet with his backhand, turned around, bent down, patted them like a treasure, and covered them with the quilt. "It's cold outside, don't let these cute little feet get cold."

Su Su: ...

Li Goudan, saying anything will only harm you.

Su Su lay on the bed motionless like a little emperor, letting Li Xinglan clean up everything.

After he finished cleaning up, he reached out to hug her again, but Su Su dodged him. She wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, wary of him, "I'm very tired! Don't torment me anymore!"

"Why don't you trust me? I just want to hug you, nothing else..."

Li Xinglan reached out again, but was ruthlessly pushed away by Su Su again. "You said the same thing just now, you bastard!"

Alas... Li Xinglan had no other choice but to lie flat on the bed, thinking to himself that he would take advantage of Su Su falling asleep and hold her in his arms, hehe.

But after waiting for a long time, she still didn't fall asleep. In the dim room, Li Xinglan, who was waiting anxiously, couldn't help but ask, "Why can't you sleep?"

Su Su hummed, and just as she was about to say something sweet, she heard Li Xinglan excitedly say, "Then let's do something else we love!"

Su Su: ...

Seeing her turn away angrily and ignore him again, Li Xinglan gave up his joking intention and leaned against her back through the quilt and asked, "Why can't you sleep?"

“It feels so beautiful here that it’s unreal.”

Compared to the imperial city, Su Su prefers Jiangnan, an ancient city shrouded in mist and rain, where even the people seem to be covered with a layer of gauze.

Listening to Xiaoxiao's story, she likes Jiangnan in spring the most. The raindrops fall on the bluestone road, and the series of "tick-tick" sounds can make people feel calm and at ease. The mountains in the distance are looming, with clouds and mist lingering in between, which is the most beautiful ink painting in the world.

It is quiet and cozy here, as if you are in a dream.

"Brother Gou, do you think Er Gou will like it here?" Su Su turned over again and could only vaguely see Li Xinglan's outline. "The youngest likes it here. He runs around the streets and alleys every day and doesn't even go home."

Li Xinglan thought about it seriously. "Maybe? Ergou grew up in the northwest, so he might not be able to adapt to the climate in the south."

"That's right..." Su Su pulled the quilt, "Then when everything is over, we can go on a journey, okay? The scenery in the northwest is also beautiful~"

"it is good."

After getting the promise, Su Su finally suppressed the vague uneasiness in her heart. She didn't know why, but after living a comfortable life for too long, she felt uneasy.

According to the time, it will be the Spring Festival in about a month. What Gou Ge means is to return to the imperial city after the Spring Festival, by which time the snow on the road will have melted.

Finally, he fell asleep in a daze, and Li Xinglan hugged Su Su as he wished.

I wish you sweet dreams tonight too.

The next morning, Su Su wrote a letter to Ergou, telling him about their arrival in Jiangnan and how she met Shangguan Xiaoxiao and Jiang He.

At the end of the letter she wrote: They are all very good people. When you come to Jiangnan, I will introduce them to you. You must be safe.

When he received this letter, Shang Shiyu had just returned from defeating bandits with his comrades in the camp. He squatted in the snow, naked like everyone else, washing the blood off his body with cold water.

The clerk came back with a few letters and saw him as he passed by. He said, "Ergou, your family has sent you a letter."

Upon hearing this, Shang Shiyu quickened his pace, wiped it perfunctorily, walked quickly to the clerk, took the letter, and opened it carefully.

After reading the letter carefully, he showed a long-lost smile. He had never been to Jiangnan, but he could see that Su Su liked it very much, and he liked it too.

Just one letter, and the tough guy turned into a softie, prompting Liu Ye beside him to jokingly say: "It must be a letter from your sister-in-law. She is so kind to you and always thinks about you."

You know, it costs a lot of money to send letters to the camp. One letter is equivalent to several months' food for an ordinary family.

Shang Shiyu put away the smile on his face and returned to his icy expression, thinking to himself, of course.

------

Time passed quickly, almost in the blink of an eye. There were only five days left until New Year's Eve. Every household had replaced their windows with new red lanterns and pasted up window decorations, and the Li family was no exception.

Not only Jiang He came to help today, but Shangguan Xiaoxiao also came. A little maid followed behind her, holding an umbrella for her.

During this period, she came to see Su Su once, thinking that she was in poor health. Later, Su Su took the initiative to find her to play. Fortunately, Shangguan Mansion was not far from the Li family.

The Shangguan family was in the cloth business and had considerable assets. They were considered a prominent family in Jiangnan. However, Shangguan Xiaoxiao was born weak. If Li Erdie had not rescued her several times, she would have died early.

When Li Erdie was away traveling to save people, Li Xinglan took care of Shangguan Xiaoxiao. The two grew up together, and Li Xinglan knew her condition better than anyone else in the Shangguan family.

People in the city said that the two were a perfect match, and Li Erdie really liked Xiaoxiao. He mentioned her several times and said that after Xiaoxiao was cured, he would go to the Shangguan family to propose marriage, and he was sure that she would be the daughter-in-law of the Li family.

Shangguan Xiaoxiao also thought that she liked Li Xinglan. He was handsome, gentle, and had great medical skills. He had saved her many times.

But it was not until she heard the story of Su Su and Li Xinglan and saw how they interacted on a daily basis that she vaguely realized that her feelings were not love at all.

Su Su said that liking someone is blind, and your joys and sorrows will unconsciously follow him. You can't bear to see him sad, you can't bear to be separated from him, and you are willing to give your life to him.

This is exactly what Jiang He's sister said, love is a beautiful yet dangerous existence.

Sitting affectionately with Su Su, teaching her how to cut paper-cuts, and listening to her tell fairy tales with happy endings, Shangguan Xiaoxiao sighed longingly, "When I get better, I also want to be like in the story, leave Jiangnan, go out and see the world, and experience love, hate, and passion."

The girl was innocent and beautiful, which made Su Su's heart soften. She hugged Shangguan Xiaoxiao and rubbed her, "It will be fine! When the time comes, I will definitely help you choose the best boyfriend in the world!"

"Okay!" Shangguan Xiaoxiao also gently rubbed Su Su's little head, "I will try my best!"
