Let's walk together for the rest of our lives. If the host says to leave, she will leave.

Gu Ling looked at the candied haws that he had taken a bite of and said, "Can you give me the ones you've eaten?"

Shen Li wrinkled his nose, probably realizing that he was being disliked.

He swallowed the first candied haws in one mouthful, his cheek puffed up, and he spoke vaguely: "Here you go."

The candied haws were handed to him again, and Gu Ling shook his head: "I don't like this."

Why didn’t you say it the first time?

Shen Li glared at her furtively, and without stopping for a moment, he ate the second candied haws.

This string of candied haws seemed to turn on Shen Li's foodie switch. He ate from the beginning to the end of the street, and only stopped when his stomach was full and he started to burp.

"Burp!" Shen Li burped again. He let go of the hand that was holding Gu Ling's clothes, patted his chest, and when he looked up again, he found that Gu Ling had walked away, and hurriedly chased after him.

"Gu Da, Hiccup, wait for me, Hiccup!"

He ran so fast that he bumped into Gu Ling's back, and was caught by Gu Ling when he fell backwards.

Gu Ling pulled his hand back but didn't move it, so he looked up at him. However, the curtain blocked his face, so Gu Ling couldn't see his expression, only hear his voice.

Under the curtain, Shen Li pouted with a wronged look on his face: "I'll burp next time! Eat less, don't burp! Don't want me."

If someone who didn't know the truth heard it, they would think he was crying out of breath, but when Gu Ling thought that he was just bored, he couldn't help laughing.

I feel that he is just like a stupid fish who doesn't know what "full" means. He will eat whatever is fed to him without even considering whether his stomach can take it.

Gu Ling tried to hold back his laughter: "I just walked a little fast, I'll wait for you next time."

Shen Li still held her hand tightly. Gu Ling put the corner of his clothes in Shen Li's hand, then took his hand away and handed him a pill.

Shen Li didn't ask any questions. She lifted the curtain and lowered her head. The white gauze blocked Gu Ling's sight. Only the warm and soft touch flashed across her palm for a moment.

A little itchy.

Shen Li's voice sounded very obedient, and he finally stopped hiccuping: "I ate it."

Shen Li, you trusted her too much.

Tsk, silly fox.

Gu Ling's heart softened, and he slowed down his pace and took Shen Li back to the inn.

Before, Shen Li was the one eating along the way, and Gu Ling didn't eat much. Now he was a little hungry, so he simply sat down in the lobby of the inn and ordered a bowl of noodles.

Just a simple bowl of noodles that comes together quickly.

Because the little fox was full and began to doze off, he clung to the corner of Gu Ling's clothes and refused to go back to his room.

Just as the noodles were ready, Gu Ling heard a surprised voice, and Shen Li woke up with a start.

Gu Ling frowned, then quickly put on a gentle smile: "Mr. Zhao, what a coincidence."

Zhao Xi saluted her politely: "Mr. Gu, you haven't eaten yet? Boss, put the money for this table on my account."

He turned to Gu Ling and said, "Just consider it as a thank you gift for fetching water for me, Mr. Gu."

Having said that, Gu Ling did not refuse and, out of courtesy, invited Zhao Xi to have dinner with him.

Zhao Xi's eyes fell on Gu Ling: "Who is this?"

"This is my sister. She came to the capital with me." Gu Ling did not introduce her any further. "Mr. Zhao, the noodles are ready. Don't talk while eating or sleeping."

Zhao Xi smiled and nodded, but she felt that Gu Ling was a very strange person.

Not only is his temperament changeable, but even his dressing style is the same.

You say she is rich, but she wears ordinary clothes and eats ordinary food; you say she is poor, but she is willing to buy such nice clothes for her sister.

Moreover, he is very defensive.

From Zhao Xi's point of view, Gu Ling is either from a poor family or a weakling. In any case, it's better to get in touch with him first. It won't be a loss anyway.

However, he preferred the latter because Gu Ling booked two upper rooms.

Gu Ling quickly finished her noodles and left with Shen Li. When she left, she noticed that Shen Li's attention was a little distracted. She glanced at Zhao Xi again and said, "Sister, it's time to go back and rest."

Shen Li followed Gu Ling upstairs step by step. Inside the room, Shen Li took down the curtain and diligently poured a cup of tea for Gu Ling.

"Brother Gu, is Zhao Shusheng your friend? What's his name? Is he going to the capital to take the exam like you? Should we go with him?"

Gu Ling didn't drink and said calmly: "Are you interested in him?"

To be precise, Shen Li was not interested in Zhao Xi, but was interested in all good-looking scholars.

Shen Li's index finger and thumb moved closer together: "Only a little bit."

Shen Li is really bold in speaking out.

Gu Ling rested his elbows on the table and supported his head with his hands: "I don't quite understand, why don't you go ask yourself?"

Shen Li stood up and moved out little by little: "Then I'll go?"

He took a step and stopped, all the time looking at Gu Ling's expression. He would stop as long as Gu Ling said a word.

But Gu Ling said nothing and just lowered his head to drink a sip of tea.

"Squeak-"

The door opened and closed. Gu Ling placed the teacup on the table and tapped it with his fingers.

After a while, she raised a smile and said in a light and cold tone: "A fox that can't be tamed."

During her years as a monster catcher, she had seen many pure and loyal monsters. It was these monsters that touched her and made her have a high tolerance for this type of monsters.

She thought she had picked up a fairy like this, but she didn't expect her luck was still a little bad.

Even though I just picked it up for fun, it’s still a bit annoying to see a pet just running around with other people.

As expected, men on the street shouldn’t pick up things randomly, and the same goes for foxes.

……

Shen Li went out and heard the sound of a flute coming from the backyard, so he walked towards the backyard.

The frail scholar stood facing the wind holding a flute. The sound of the flute was melodious and sad, making the person under the moon seem even more lonely.

Perhaps hearing footsteps, Zhao Xi put down the flute and looked back, his eyes showing surprise: "Miss Gu?"

Shen Li pointed at himself: "Me?"

Zhao Xi thought to himself that this reaction was not like that of someone named Gu.

Zhao Xi smiled and said, "Mr. Gu's sister, isn't her last name Gu?"

Hearing this, Shen Li did not refute and agreed with Zhao Xi's words.

Zhao Xi looked at Shen Li's face, not hiding the amazement in his eyes: "The lotus is not as beautiful as the beauty's makeup, the wind blows through the water palace and the pearls and jade are fragrant. Miss Gu's beauty has to be covered up with a curtain during the day, what a pity."

Being praised for her beauty, Shen Li was very happy, but she was a little confused: "Why is it a pity? Isn't it the custom here to wear a curtain?"

"We don't have such a rule here." Zhao Xi said, "Maybe Master Gu is worried that bad guys will covet your beauty, and he has good intentions. Please don't blame him."

Shen Li always felt that this was strange, so he changed the subject: "Just now I heard that the young master's flute sounded sad, are you worried about something?"

"Just thinking of my deceased wife at home."

This kind of girl likes affectionate men the most. He can use his so-called deceased wife to arouse the other party's sympathy, and then he can further strengthen the relationship.

Shen Li was "as expected" attracted, and the two of them chatted happily with each other. Before leaving, Zhao Xi planned to give Shen Li a song.

"Who is it? You're blowing it late at night! If you blow it again, I'll kill you!"

Zhao Xi put down the flute in disappointment after hearing this sentence from nowhere, and Shen Li said goodbye.

Not long after he walked, he suddenly remembered that he had not asked Zhao Shusheng's name, so he started walking back and met Zhao Xi, who was very different from before.

Zhao Xi stood in the yard, all wet. A waiter from the inn was holding a wooden basin with a look of contempt on his face.

"Master Gu is also going to Beijing to take the imperial examination. He is staying quietly in his room right now. Why are you making trouble here and not letting anyone tell you? I saw it all. If you don't behave yourself any more, I will tell Master Gu about you seducing his sister!"

Zhao Xi's face twisted, and he didn't dare to curse until the waiter walked away: "Bah! You look down on people."

"Sister?" He sneered, "Who knows if she's my biological daughter? Isn't she just richer and more pretentious than me? Who knows what she's doing behind the scenes."

When Shen Li in the dark heard these words, her dress fluttered without wind and a faint demonic aura began to spread.

The fox's fangs appeared for a moment, then were retracted by him, with a hint of dangerous murderous intent in his eyes.

Zhao Xi suddenly fainted on the ground, and Shen Li came out from the shadows. He first kicked Zhao Xi hard several times, then squatted down and gave him a few big slaps.

He beat him and cursed him: "Brother Gu, how can you curse him? Bastard! Scum! Shameless! Bad guy!"

The insults are always the same few words, but the most lethal ones are those big ones.

Zhao Xi's cheeks were swollen and bloodshot from the beating, a horrible sight, but Shen Li still felt unsatisfied. After thinking for a while, a fox paw suddenly appeared.

The red fox's paws are furry, but the sharp nails are scary.

There was a hint of cruelty and indifference in his eyes, which was unique to the demon race.

If I can't kill anyone, it's ok to at least leave some injuries, right?
