She Yue pulled open the bed curtains.
Jia Baobao was hugging the blanket. His eyes were drowsy and the corners of his eyes were red. It was as if he had applied Yan Zhi, which added to his charm.
She Yue stared blankly.
She raised her eyebrows. The Yan Zhi melted and a pair of watery eyes looked at her.
She Yue pinched the back of her hand and snapped out of her daze.
She went forward and wiped Jia Baobao's face with a wet handkerchief.
A maidservant with a fair complexion was holding a small porcelain bowl that was the color of begonias.
Baoyu reached out and cleaned her hands.
She asked with a hoarse voice, "Was it raining last night?"
The servant girl smiled and said, "Yes, it was raining heavily. It was still raining this morning and the sky was dark."
She Yue looked at her.
The servant girl immediately lowered her head and did not dare to speak.
Jia Baobao thought for a while and muttered, "I still feel like I've forgotten something, but what exactly?"
Suddenly, whispers could be heard from outside the room.
"Oh, there's such a thing?"
Qing Wen opened the curtains and came in, "Baoyu, the servant girls who were fetching water just came back and said something big happened in our residence."
"What big thing?" Jia Baobao wiped his hands.
She Yue stood behind her and held her long hair that was as smooth as clouds. She used a silver comb and jade comb to comb it carefully.
"They said that Master Xiao Rong from Ningguo Province is lying under the banana tree in our Rongguo Province's garden. He's unconscious now, as if he's been lying there for the whole night."
Jia Baobao jumped up and pulled his hair.
"Ouch —"
It hurt.
She Yue panicked and let go of her hand.
Jia Baobao covered his head and said in distress, "Ah ah! I said I forgot something. System, System, why didn't you remind me? "
The System said, "I thought you did it on purpose to teach him a lesson."
Jia Baobao was baffled. "Teach him a lesson? Why should I teach him a lesson? "
The System said, "So you didn't even feel that you were being taken advantage of?"
Jia Baobao: "Ah? A straight-laced person? Can something from a different dimension be called taking advantage of tofu? "
The System, "…"
The System said, "So, you belong to the 'how can you fall in love' sect from a different dimension? Tsk tsk, I really want those people to hear it. "
"No, wait a minute. Don't tell me you think it's okay for a skinny person to ask for a hug every day?"
Jia Baobao widened his eyes and said innocently, "What's wrong with that?"
The System said, "Oh my god, this is a huge problem."
When Qing Wen saw Jia Baobao suddenly stand up and stand there in a daze without saying anything, she knew that her mental illness was acting up again.
However, Bao Erye's dazed look was also very charming.
Qing Wen's ears were red as she helped Jia Baobao to sit down again.
"Did Erye think of something?"
Jia Baobao came back to his senses and rubbed his chin. "He's been lying under the banana tree for an entire night. Is my big nephew sick? As his uncle, I have to go take a look. "
Qing Wen's eyes were red as she forced a smile. "You don't need Xiren to accompany you this time, do you? A few days ago, I heard from Li Gui that Erye didn't get along well with him. Instead, he relied on Hua Xiren for everything. "
The System said, "What a jealous fight."
Jia Baobao said, "Don't talk nonsense."
She smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll let Li Gui accompany me."
Before Jia Baobao finished his breakfast, Li Gui had already arrived. He stood by the door and waited.
Li Gui was tall with broad shoulders and a thick back. He had a simple and honest face. When he stood at the door, he looked like a big black bear, blocking the door tightly.
Qing Wen glanced at him and gave She Yue a look. She Yue covered her mouth and giggled.
Jia Baobao said slowly, "You're here?"
Li Gui bowed. "Erye."
He raised his head and smiled foolishly. His eyes were fixed on the chopsticks in her hand.
Jia Baobao continued to eat as if there was no one else around.
Qing Wen coughed.
Jia Baobao looked at him strangely. "What? Is there something you like to eat? "
Qing Wen whispered, "No, it's Li Gui who keeps staring at Erye. I think he left early and hasn't eaten yet."
Jia Baobao looked at Li Gui.
Li Gui panicked. "No, no, no, I've already eaten."
Jia Baobao looked at his bulging body. "Come, take a look and see what you like to eat. Your body is different from others, so you should eat more."
Li Gui waved his hand. "No, I really don't need it. I'm full."
His eyes were still glued to Jia Baobao's chopsticks.
Qing Wen said, "He's looking at the plate in Erye's hand."
Jia Baobao lowered his head and looked at the unrecognizable side dish. He could not help but cry.
It was fine if people were lines, but why was food also lines?
She wanted to eat meat, but she picked up a bowl of sliced ginger. She thought it was some kind of bean, but when she ate it, she realized it was some kind of numbing pepper!
Just thinking about it made her feel wronged. She did not know how she had lived these past few years.
The System said, "… Okay, just bear with it. You'll be fine after you complete the mission. Don't cry!"
Qing Wen, She Yue, and Li Gui were confused. Why was Bao Erye crying while eating?
Qing Wen was worried about her eyes. She softened her voice and asked, "Erye, why are you crying? Is the food not to your liking? "
She Yue walked towards the door. "I'll get someone to remake it."
"No, no!" Jia Baobao said in a muffled voice. "It's … It's … I can't help but feel sad every time I eat."
What kind of f * cking life am I living?
The System could not help but cry for her. "Miserable, you're really miserable."
"Ah, I get it!" Li Gui clapped his hands. "Bao Erye is a scholar. Scholars often recite things like 'Hoeing crops at noon, the sweat drops go well with rice. Who knows why I'm so miserable? What's so hard? '"
Shu Yue suddenly covered her mouth, and her cheeks flushed red.
Qing Wen scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about? How dare you say such a lewd poem in front of Bao Erye!"
"Lewd poem …" Li Gui scratched the back of his head. His honest face was full of confusion. "I don't think so? I heard that it's a very good poem. It talks about loving the people as if they were their own children, and it teaches people not to be too extravagant. "
He stared at Jia Baobao. "Erye, right? Did I remember wrongly? "
Jia Baobao said, "Brother Li Gui, you obviously recited it wrongly. Let me teach you next time."
She had just cried. Her eyes were watery and red, but there seemed to be a gentle smile in her eyes.
Li Gui stared at his master with wide eyes. His tongue seemed to have been taken away by a cat, and he could not say a word.
He shuddered and took a step back. But he forgot that behind him was the threshold. He staggered and fell, rolling down the steps and falling face first into the muddy water in the garden.
The house was silent for a moment, and then burst into laughter.
Qing Wen held her stomach and laughed so hard that she rocked back and forth. She staggered over to help him. "Haha, are you okay? Are you excited because you haven't seen Bao Erye in a long time? "
Li Gui's huge body moved, and he stood up like a big black bear. His face was covered in mud. He saw Jia Baobao laughing so hard that his eyes were curved. He could not help but smile in the rain, revealing his big white teeth.
Jia Baobao tried hard to hold back his laughter. "Quickly take him to wash up. Pfft — —"
The System could not help but sigh. "What a monster."
Jia Baobao asked, "System, what did you say?"
"System, a friendly reminder. If you don't want to cause trouble in the future, it's better to cover your troublesome face."
"Meow meow meow?"
The System said, "… Forget it. If it's not yours, it's not yours. If it's yours, even if there's a cliff in front of them, they'll still jump into it."
Hua Xiren came to greet Jia Baobao. Seeing that Jia Baobao was about to go out, he volunteered and replaced Li Gui.
Qing Wen blocked Xiren who was about to go out with Baoyu. She crossed her arms and sneered. "You're really good at taking advantage of the situation."
Hua Xiren smiled. "You flatter me. I learned it from Qing Wen … brother."
He said the word "brother" very softly.
Qing Wen's pupils shrank.
Hua Xiren took a step back and dusted his sleeves. His smile was gentle, but his eyes were cold. "Just because I don't cause trouble doesn't mean I'm afraid of it. If you slander me in front of Bao Erye again and purposely ruin my job, then …"
He smiled and patted Qing Wen's shoulder. "… Then it won't be so easy to solve."
Hua Xiren turned around and chased after Jia Baoyu who was walking along the corridor.
Qing Wen glared at his back and scolded, "You're so ostentatious even with a flowery handkerchief. Ptui!"
She rolled her eyes and immediately thought of something.
Qing Wen quickly ran to Li Gui's servants' quarters.
Li Gui was just about to go out when he saw her rushing over. He said hurriedly, "Is it Erye who's looking for me?"
He moved his huge body and was about to go out.
Qing Wen grabbed his sleeve and ran a few more steps. She almost slipped off her shoes.
Qing Wen gritted her teeth and said, "Your job has been taken by Hua Xiren. It's too late for you to do anything now."
Li Gui suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Qing Wen's head bumped into his thick back, and she saw stars from the impact.
"Are you hiding a slate behind your back?" Qing Wen covered her forehead and said angrily.
Li Gui walked into the room listlessly, like a big black dog that had been kicked by its owner. He whimpered and was about to go back to his nest and cry.
Qing Wen chased after him and pulled his shoes to look.
Li Gui sat on the kang bed and curled up into a ball. He was spiritless.
Qing Wen sniffed the soles of his shoes and smelled the smell of vegetable oil.
Qing Wen gritted her teeth. "I knew it! So he's been scheming all this time! "
"Hey! Blockhead, do you know that you've been set up by someone? "
Li Gui frowned. "What did you say?"
Qing Wen paused and immediately changed the way she addressed him. "Li Gui, you've been set up by someone. The soles of your shoes have been smeared with vegetable oil, so they'll slip easily. It's raining today, so the ground is wet. That person wants you to fall and embarrass yourself in front of Bao Erye. Then he'll replace you and serve Bao Erye!"
Li Gui didn't think much of it at first, but when he heard the words "Bao Erye," he immediately trembled like a dog that had seen a bone.
"What did you say? Who? Who would do that? "He was already tall and big, so when he glared, he looked even more fierce.
Qing Wen crossed her arms. "Who else could it be? It must be the person who replaced you. You still don't know, right? Hua Xiren just went out to serve Bao Erye for you. "
Li Gui gritted his teeth and suddenly punched the table on the kang bed.
"Crack!" A corner of the table broke and fell to the ground.
