Women were really strange. She said that she wanted to invite him back for a meal, but she left by herself. It was likely that the sloppy elder's girlish heart had run wild and he had forgotten to bring a message back.
Time was tight to begin with, so there was no need to waste any more time. Li Yi held a cold steamed bun in his mouth and wrote as he ate. He turned to Wan Ruoqing and said, "If you haven't eaten, go out and eat something first. I still need a while to finish."
Wan Ruoqing nodded and went out. When she came back again, she was holding a food box in her hand.
She looked at Li Yi and shook her head. "You can't just eat steamed buns. I bought some porridge. Have some."
Li Yi nodded and said, "Leave it there first. I'll eat it later."
He wasn't too hungry. Of course, the most important thing was to hurry up. After leaving the Chu family today, there was no turning back. There was no need to hold back against an enemy.
After writing a few words, a gentle voice sounded in his ear.
"Open your mouth."
Li Yi paused and looked back at her. This scene was so familiar. He subconsciously opened his mouth, and she gently placed the spoon in …
An interesting play not only needed a brilliant script, but the stage layout, the actors' acting skills, as well as their expressions and lines were all very important. All he could do was the first step.
The rest of the more detailed and tedious matters had to be left to professionals like her.
After he wrote the first chapter, he discussed these matters with her for more than two hours. They discussed from day to night.
Li Yi saw the fatigue between her brows and said, "I'll write the next chapter. Rest for a while."
Wan Ruoqing nodded and didn't refuse. She had been busy until late last night, so she was actually a little sleepy. She still had to discuss the second chapter later, so it was beneficial to take a short rest now.
She leaned over the small table by the bed and looked at the flickering candlelight before slowly closing her eyes.
Pa!
The oil lamp gave off a spark and let out a soft sound. When she slowly opened her eyes, she found that she was lying on the bed, covered with a thin layer of quilt.
She got up from the bed and looked in a certain direction subconsciously. There was no one at the table.
Has he gone back … The paper spread out on the table should be the finished script. She picked it up and looked at it. It was indeed finished.
It was dark outside the window. It was already very late. After tomorrow, she would be busy again, and even busier than before. In order to ensure enough energy, she had to rest early even though she wasn't sleepy.
She took off her coat and only wore a dudou. She put it on the cabinet and sat on the bed. Just as she was about to take off her shoes and socks, the door was pushed open from the outside.
Usually, only she and Yu Zhu lived in this small building, so the door didn't need to be locked from the inside. She subconsciously thought that it was Xiao Zhu who came in, but when she looked up, her expression froze.
"You're awake. I was afraid that you would be hungry at night, so I cooked a bowl of noodles for you …" Li Yi walked in with a tray and closed the door with his foot. When he heard her explanation, he was also stunned.
After a long time, he asked tentatively, "Why don't you put on your clothes first?"
"I, I thought you had left." Wan Ruoqing put on her clothes, her cheeks still red.
"Well, it ended a little earlier than expected. I'll leave right away." Li Yi put down the tray and couldn't help but turn his head to look at her. It was really strange. The new style of underwear had become completely popular in the capital, but whether it was Miss.Liu, Zui Mo, or Ruoqing, they all had a special fondness for dudou. It really didn't make sense …
"This … Did you cook it?" Wan Ruoqing looked at the fragrant noodles on the table. In addition to a few green decorations on top of the noodles, there was also a poached egg. She turned to look at him and asked.
"There is no kitchen here. I went outside deliberately." Li Yi looked at her, shook his head, and said, "Although it's not good to eat so late, it's my birthday after all. I still have to eat longevity noodles."
Wan Ruoqing looked at him and said in a daze, "Birthday?"
Li Yi asked helplessly, "Your birthday is only half a month later than Zui Mo's. Don't tell me you've forgotten it yourself?"
Her face was a little red. She sat at the table and ate the noodles. Li Yi walked over and opened the window. In the distant night sky, the first light bloomed.
Then there were two, ten, a hundred, and countless.
Wan Ruoqing held her chopsticks and looked out of the window absent-mindedly. The fireworks illuminated half of the sky. On the street not far from the window, there were countless exclamations.
From her direction, he stood at the place where the fireworks were the most brilliant, smiling and waving at her.
Li Yi didn't stay out all night. If he really had a long talk with Ruoqing all night, it was very likely that Miss.Liu would come over in the middle of the night to ask him to go back for dinner.
What's more, in the next few days, Ruoqing would be very busy and needed enough time to rest.
At the very least, it was not good for a man and a woman to be alone in a room. If it was spread out, it would ruin the girl's reputation. If she couldn't get married in the future, it would be great.
Even so, when he returned home, it was after midnight. There was no light in the whole house. Ruyi and the child should have fallen asleep long ago. He groped his way to the study, but he didn't turn on the light. He walked to the bed, lay down, and slept in his clothes.
When he stretched out his hand to pull the quilt, his palm touched a very soft place.
He subconsciously squeezed it, and a cold voice seemed to ring in his ear.
"Take your hand away."
It didn't seem like it, but it was.
Li Yi turned over and got out of bed. Looking at Miss.Liu who sat up on the bed, he said in surprise, "Why are you sleeping here?"
When he asked this question, he realized that he had asked a nonsense question. Recently, Miss.Liu had abandoned martial arts for literature. She studied hard every day and even occupied his study. Most of the time, she read until late at night. It was not a difficult thing to understand that she slept here at night.
A tiger's butt should not be touched, let alone a tigress' butt. Li Yi hid the hand behind his back and took a few steps back, always alert for sword light beside the bed.
When he retreated to the door, he saw that there was no movement beside the bed. He thought for a while and asked again, "If I go to sleep now, I will definitely disturb the child. The guest room is not cleaned. If you sleep here, where should I sleep? Your room?"
Finally, there was some movement beside the bed. Miss.Liu got out of bed. Although Li Yi could feel two eyes in the dark, which made him feel guilty, Miss.Liu didn't mention what had happened just now. She walked straight past him and left the study.
He closed the door and went back to the bed to lie down. A familiar light fragrance lingered in his nose. After being stunned for a while, he murmured, "Is there a difference?"
…
Since the capital entered summer, the weather became hot and dry, and the situation was also restless.
In the court, the two forces led by Grand Tutor Chu and Prime Minister Qin had new changes every day. The common people were also affected a lot. Rumors and rumors were everywhere.
However, County Marquis Li, who was at the heart of the struggle, was as still as a mountain from beginning to end. He didn't make any response or reaction to it, which made everyone puzzled.
Of course, although this matter affected the hearts of the common people, the affairs of the court and the debate between loyalty and treachery were too far away from them. It was not an easy choice to believe in the famous Grand Tutor Chu or Lord Li who had done a lot of good things for the common people.
Compared with this matter, the new play that had been promoted in the brothel since a few days ago was obviously much closer to them.
That new play had a trial screening in only one brothel in the capital today. Even if the brothel was already full of people, the guests who didn't buy tickets in advance could only stand outside the door and sigh.
The spectators who were lucky enough to buy tickets were naturally complacent. In the dark theater, only the lights around the stage were on. They didn't wait long. The stage curtain was opened, and a faintly discernible voice floated into their ears.
"Flowers will bloom again, but people will never be young again. There is no need to be rich and powerful. Peace and happiness are immortals … "
The curtain was completely opened, and an old woman in cotton clothes with a bent body appeared on the stage.
The old woman took a few steps forward and introduced, "I'm Granny Cai, from Chu Zhou City. We are the family of three. Unfortunately, my husband has passed away, and he only has one child, who is eight years older than me. I have two children, and my family is quite rich. Here is Scholar Dou … "
The ordinary opening was the original routine of a common play, but because of the overwhelming promotion in the brothel, at this moment, people were still looking forward to the play …
