Early the next morning, Lichu opened the door with swollen eyes and was awakened by the sound of a woman crying outside.

Cheng Yan stood outside the courtyard, talking to a few people dressed as officers and soldiers.

The whole village was filled with the sound of crying, and all the young and middle-aged men at home were forcibly taken away by the officers and soldiers.

These cries belong to their wives.

Li Chu silently closed the door and hid herself so as not to cause trouble to Cheng Yan.

"The day after tomorrow, the first batch of exiles will leave with the large army. If you go to the road at dawn in the morning, you might still be able to see your brother." An officer said.

"Thank you, adults. I understand." Cheng Yan nodded to them and thanked them.

After watching several people leave, he turned back to the house and knocked on his sister-in-law's door.

"You can come out."

"How do you know I'm awake?"

"It's so noisy outside that you can't sleep." He explained casually.

He went directly to the kitchen, brought out breakfast and put it away.

After Lichu washed up casually, she sat obediently opposite him, holding her eyes swollen from crying.

Cheng extended his hand in front of her.

"Ah?" She didn't understand what his actions meant.

Until the man opened his palm and a hard-boiled egg appeared in front of her eyes.

Li Chu's eyes flashed with emotion, and she took it with her little hand, her fingertips inevitably touching the other person's palm.

Cheng Yan gently grasped the palm of his hand and pulled it back when he saw that she had a firm grip.

"It's good for reducing swelling."

"Thank you."

She rolled the eggs around her eyes with an obedient look on her face, as if she relied on him. Looking at her, Cheng Yan thought of his brother. No wonder he liked him so much. He was so obedient and beautiful. Who wouldn't miss him.

The breakfast was unexpectedly rich, as if to comfort her.

For the first time, there was no one under the bustling old locust tree in the village, and the whole village was shrouded in desolation.

Cheng Yan was afraid that she would cry too, and his eyes, which had finally subsided, would swell into walnuts again, coupled with his brother's instructions and his intolerance.

Cheng Yanqiang pulled her to learn literacy and helped her divert her attention.

It wasn't until it was getting late that he let her rest and went to cook and boil water.

Imitate what my brother did when he was around and arrange everything she needs.

Li Chu was in a daze all day. She went straight into the bathroom to take a bath. Time passed by and she walked out of the tub. When she wanted to get dressed, she realized that she didn't take her clothes...

"Sister-in-law?" Outside the house, Cheng Yan heard the sound of water disappearing, but no one came out. He shouted worriedly.

"Sister-in-law, are you okay?" Don't you faint from crying?

Cheng Yan was anxious and pushed the door open, but it was unexpectedly unlocked.

He rushed in immediately and was stunned.

The people inside who had just come out of the bathtub were even more stunned.

The two looked at each other, and Li Chu screamed, covering her chest with both hands, but couldn't stop it.

Cheng Yan's eyes dropped unconsciously, and he saw an even more desirable beauty. He breathed slightly. After discovering his behavior, he turned around with a red face and explained awkwardly: "I haven't seen my sister-in-law for a long time. I thought, I thought you were fainted." It’s down, I don’t mean anything else, sister-in-law, don’t get me wrong.”

"No...it's okay." Lichu blushed and hesitated for a moment.

"Can you get me some clothes? I forgot them."

"Ah? Okay...Okay, right away." Cheng Yan hurriedly exited the bathroom and went to her room.

When he got to the closet, he looked at the clothes in the closet. He didn't know which one she needed. There were also many weird little clothes. He frowned. What's the use of this thing?

Judging from the tricks, it can’t be his brother’s, right?

Cheng Yan threw away his clothes, took some clothes and walked towards the bathroom.

After arriving, he stopped outside and knocked on the door, "Sister-in-law, the clothes are here."

He pushed the door open a little, his eyelids drooped, and he put the clothes in his hands through the door.

A pair of wet hands gently swept across his skin, rubbed it, and took away the clothes.

Cheng Yan looked at the water drops on the back of her hands, and couldn't help but think of her sitting on the edge of the tub, one leg stretched out, the edge was just right...

Just like that, I walked into the sweet-smelling orchard and picked the most eye-catching little cherries.

Cheng Changchang took a breath, feeling faintly envious of the bathtub...

He pursed his lips, despising himself even more.

He turned around and left in defeat. What happened to him?

In the current situation, he actually still has thoughts about these things, and the object of his fantasy is still his sister-in-law, his brother's wife.

Cheng Yanxin felt increasingly guilty.

"Wait a minute." came her shy voice.

Cheng Yan paused, "Sister-in-law, is there anything else?"

His voice was unusually hoarse. If Li Chu opened the door, she would see her favorite thing.

Unfortunately, Lichu took the clothes and searched for a long time, but couldn't find her little clothes. She hurriedly called someone to stop her, just to ask for some inner clothes.

"Ma'am, I'm missing one piece of clothing. Please help me get it one more time, okay?"

"how is it like?"

"There are two red lanyards, one light green one, and there are small green bamboo-style clothes embroidered on the tail..."

As soon as Cheng Yan heard her description, he remembered that he had taken the little coat and thought about how to wear it...

It turns out that... it was worn on...

Cheng Yan's face turned red. He had previously touched the pattern on his head with his small clothes.

He responded awkwardly and hurriedly went to get his clothes.

When he took it back and handed it to her, he was already red as a ripe shrimp.

He looked at the hand stretched out from the crack of the door and waved it in the air to look for it. His pink fingertips were soaked in water for a long time and were a little wrinkled. His mind recalled the scene of the girl taking a bath.

Li Chu listened to the heavy breathing outside the door and timidly retracted her hand.

"Sister-in-law... you don't need it anymore?" He saw her retracting her hand and looking deeply into the gap, as if looking at the undressed person through the door.

Hearing what he said, the person at the door stretched out her little hand again. This time, she touched the clothes immediately, and she quickly retracted her hand.

Cheng Yan was still waiting for her reply, but instead he heard the girl's busy sound of locking the door.

She is afraid of him?

Cheng Yan gradually came to his senses and returned to his room silently.

On the third day, Li Chu knocked on his door in the middle of the night.

Cheng Yan heard the noise, put on his coat, opened the door, and looked at the nervous little man, "What?"

"Ayan... aren't you going to town today?"

He looked up at the sky, and once again realized her feelings for her brother, he felt soft in his heart, "Sleep a little longer, it's only the third watch now, it's too early, I asked that day, they will only leave when the sky becomes bright."

Li Chu's eyes dropped, and she quickly stretched out her hand to tug at the corner of his clothes. She looked at him pitifully and begged: "What if they leave early? Ayan, let's go to town now?"

"Okay." Cheng Yan thought for a while and agreed. He started to go back to the house and found that his clothes were still being pulled by the little girl.

He lowered his eyes and spoke softly, coaxing her to let go first, "Wait while I get dressed first."

Only then did Li Chu realize that she was still holding on to other people's clothes, and had even pulled some of them off.

The man's collar was torn by the force of his clothes.
