The Republic of China: Twins with a beautiful start, navigating a troubled world

Chapter 177 The stiff relationship between Zhao He and Li Shiqi

After a while, Zhao He came to the door of the study and was about to knock on the door and enter when suddenly bursts of conversation came from inside.

"I've got this one done, what about yours?"

Li Shiqi's voice came from the study, which made Zhao He slightly stunned. He didn't expect that she was here.

Since discovering that Zhao He had hidden his identity and lied to her, Li Shiqi has always kept a distance from Zhao He, and their relationship has been in a stalemate.

"Shiqi, you're going too fast. I haven't even finished reading half of it, and you've already finished it." Then, Su Xueyuan's surprised voice came.

"I'm a teacher. I often correct students' homework, so I can read it a little faster than you." After Li Shiqi said this, she paused and said, "Then it's time for me to go back. Don't worry, you two. Pay more attention to rest." , I’ll come back to help you tomorrow.”

"Ah! Don't leave! Stay and have dinner together. You have helped us so much, how could you just leave like this?" Su Ziyuan was surprised and quickly stood up to stop Li Shiqi.

"That's right, you're not allowed to leave. Stay and play with us." Su Xueyuan also quickly stood up and stopped her.

"No, I have important things to do when I go home. Let's do it next time. We will have fun together next time." Li Shiqi looked at the two of them, but still shook her head.

Su Ziyuan stared at Li Shiqi and said with lightning eyes: "Shiqi, is it because you don't want to see Zhao He that you don't want to stay?"

Zhao He, who was outside the door, couldn't help but tense up when he heard this. He quickly approached the door and listened carefully.

He was very curious, how would Li Shiqi respond?

"Um, I..." Li Shiqi didn't know how to answer for a moment, with a very hesitant look on her face.

If you say you don't want to see him, you're definitely lying. She has always been deeply in love with Zhao He and can't help but miss him every day and want to see him.

However, Li Shiqi could never get over this hurdle in her heart. She could not accept that a man had three wives and four concubines, or that the man she liked loved another woman.

So now Li Shiqi is very contradictory, losing weight day by day, not thinking about food and drinks every day, and her smile is much less.

"Do you hate him? Hate him for deceiving you and deceiving your feelings?" Su Ziyuan continued to ask.

"No, no no, I don't hate him. In that situation, he had no choice but to hide his identity. I, I just..." This time, Li Shiqi answered very simply, shaking her head like a rattle, " I just can’t accept polygamy. I hope the man I like only loves me, the only woman. I just hope..."

"Master, you are back."

However, before she finished speaking, the voice of maid Xiaolan suddenly came from outside.

Hearing this, Li Shiqi's expression changed, and her words stopped abruptly. She hurried forward and opened the door, and saw Zhao He running towards the backyard in a panic. When he heard the door opening, Zhao He He had no choice but to stop and turned to look at Li Shiqi.

"Shiqi, you're here." Zhao Hepi greeted with a smile.

Looking at his appearance, Li Shiqi could not guess that the latter must have heard the previous conversation, and her face turned red when she didn't leave.

"Hmm, I'm here to see sister A'Zi and A'Xue, um, you guys talk, I'm going home."

Li Shiqi blushed with embarrassment and hesitated as she ran outside.

"Hey! Let's go after dinner." Zhao He quickly called her to stop.

"No, I have something to do when I go home." Li Shiqi waved her hand, quickened her pace, and ran away shyly.

Su Ziyuan and Su Xueyuan followed from the house.

"Ms. sir, why are you still standing there? Why don't you go and chase him?" Su Ziyuan hurriedly shouted towards Zhao He.

If it were any other woman, she would have wished that Zhao He and Li Shiqi could end their friendship and stop contacting each other from now on.

But Li Shiqi is not such a person. She is an open-minded person. She knows that her husband likes Li Shiqi, and she also likes Li Shiqi very much, so from the bottom of her heart, she does not object to the two of them being together.

"Oh, good."

Zhao He reacted and chased after him.

However, after running four or five meters, Zhao He suddenly stopped again.

"You're chasing me! Why did you stop?" Su Xueyuan ran over and asked in surprise.

Zhao He shook his head, "Let her go. If I catch up now, it will only make her more embarrassed. It's better to give her some time and wait for her to think clearly."

Su Ziyuan and Su Xueyuan glanced at Zhao He, then at each other, nodded, and said nothing more.

During this period, they talked to Li Shiqi a lot, but to no avail. She could only figure this out on her own, and outsiders couldn't help.

"Ms. sir, are the martial arts examinations over?" Su Ziyuan changed the subject and looked at Zhao He and asked.

"Well, it's over."

Zhao He said this and gestured to the list in his hand: "These are all people who have passed the martial arts examination. Now we are just waiting for the results of the 'literary examination' to come out. After comprehensive consideration, we will select the best."

"I'm afraid we have to wait another day for the results of the literary test. My sister, my sister, and my sister Shiqi have been busy all afternoon, and we only corrected one-third of it." Su Xueyuan said.

Zhao He nodded and said with a smile: "There's no rush. I'll finish marking the essay tomorrow and the results will come out the day after tomorrow. It's just the right time."

Having said this, he paused, saluted Su Ziyuan and Su Xueyuan, and said gratefully: "Thank you, madam, for your hard work."

"Eh? Why are you so formal all of a sudden? It gave me goosebumps." Su Xueyuan said with a shudder.

"..."

Zhao He has a little black line on his forehead, this girl is really a straight girl! I don't understand romance at all.

"Okay, hubby, don't be polite to us. As long as we can help you, we feel very happy and not tired at all. Axue, don't you think so?" Su Ziyuan said with a smile and looked towards younger sister.

"Yes, yes, I think the same thing as your sister." Su Xueyuan hurriedly nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Master, I'm sorry, just now I..." At this time, the maid Xiaolan came over and said regretfully, obviously still blaming herself for what happened before. If she hadn't suddenly called Master, I'm afraid Miss Li wouldn't have Left angry.

"It's okay. It's not your fault. By the way, is the food ready?" Zhao He said with a smile, without any intention of blaming him.

Xiaolan felt happy and said quickly: "It's done."

"Okay, then get ready to eat." Zhao He nodded.

"Okay! It's time to eat. I've been busy all afternoon and my stomach has growled several times." Su Xueyuan said, rubbing her stomach.

Zhao He, Su Ziyuan, and Xiao Lan couldn't help laughing when they saw this scene.

Next, the family gathered around a large square table, chatting and eating food. They laughed and laughed from time to time, which seemed particularly warm and happy.

Zhao He liked this kind of ordinary life very much. If there were no bandits and bandits, warlords fighting, and foreign invasions, he could not wait to just throw it away and live a life of food, clothing, and happiness. Wouldn't it be happy?

However, Zhao He knows that this kind of happiness and warmth is only short-lived. In the near future, wars will break out. If he does not have enough strength and enough guns and ammunition, how can he protect his family? Where's the brother?

Therefore, he must continue to grow his power and become stronger.
