Traveling through troubled times, he fled with his stepson

Since Wei Qiqi joined Li Yuan's military camp, she has had very little contact with Li Yuan and they have only met a few times in two years.

She always felt that there was a sense of strangeness and awkwardness between the two of them.

Her ideas were contrary to Li Yuan's.

Li Yuan was very familiar with her, and as long as Wei Qiqi stretched out her hand, he knew what she wanted.

The two of them walked around aimlessly. It was a good time in Xuancheng, with the breeze blowing and the willows swaying.

"What a handsome young man."

"He looks familiar, but the one next to the young city lord is called Li..."

"Li Yuan?"

"Correct!"

Just the two of them walking on the street were particularly eye-catching, and she could hear the whispers around them clearly.

"Tsk, my son has grown up."

Wei Qiqi couldn't help but look Li Yuan up and down again.

When Li Yuan was a child, his face was chubby and cute. As he grew older, his face became more angular and colder.

After entering the military camp, according to Cheng Feiyue, he was as well-educated as an ascetic monk, like a polished jade, with a restrained edge and gentle elegance.

Now his whole temperament has changed dramatically, and anyone who says he is a young master from some aristocratic family would believe it.

Wei Qiqi thought so, but soon overturned her idea. No, Li Yuan was a young master from a noble family, but his family was destroyed when he was very young, and he followed her to wander around for several years.

In total, there are half children from poor families and half from wealthy families.

Her burning gaze made Li Yuan feel a little uncomfortable. Li Yuan's eyes fell on Wei Qiqi and he stared back to see what she was looking at.

"Qiniang, what are you looking at?"

"Look at how this handsome young man pleases a girl." Wei Qiqi smiled and took a few steps forward.

Li Yuan stayed where he was and looked back at the women who kept looking around. The women who had been paying attention to him blushed and lowered their heads. The boldest ones even looked at Li Yuan with red faces.

But he was not interested in any of it. He kept a slight smile on his face and followed Wei Qiqi's back.

The two of them chatted and walked along the way, talking about the interesting things that happened to them.

The day passed slowly from noon to evening, and it was not until dusk that the two of them stepped into the mansion.

Cheng Feiyue squatted at the gate of the yard, teasing the ants crawling and carrying things on the ground with the grass roots in his hand.

I heard the sound and looked back.

"Where have you been? I've been waiting for a long time." Cheng Feiyue threw down the grass roots and stood up.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Wei Qiqi spoke and pulled Cheng Feiyue over.

The sun was setting and it was getting dark outside. Wei Qiqi looked at Cheng Feiyue in the light.

"Seventh Aunt, you think so too. You and my mother have really the same personality." Cheng Feiyue said this, but his body turned around in a familiar manner.

"I just can't get enough of you. I've been away for too long and missed you too much."

Three people came into the house talking and making noise.

Cheng Feiyue successfully got a meal in the yard before leaving, even though he had already eaten a little with Xu Yaluo before.

Cheng Feiyue was about to leave, and Li Yuan raised his eyes and said, "I'll go with you."

Knowing what he was going to do, Wei Qiqi didn't stop him. She put the things on the table in place and took them away to wash later.

"Put it in the kitchen, Qi Niang. I'll come over and wash it later."

"It's just a few bowls, why are you arguing with me?" Wei Qiqi waved her hand and signaled to leave quickly.

Li Yuan was gone for a long time, and Wei Qiqi played several games of Go for herself by candlelight.

When the situation reached a stalemate again, Li Yuan returned.

"Qiniang."

As soon as Li Yuan came in, his eyes fell on Wei Qiqi's face. Perhaps because she had waited for a long time, Wei Qiqi's face had become tired, but she still forced herself to cheer up when she saw him.

"There's boiled water in the kitchen. You can use it to wash up later. The house has been tidied, and the clothes, shoes and socks are all ready..."

When Wei Qiqi was sleepy, she would mumble and her tone was sticky and soft. She propped herself up and prepared to clear the Gomoku on the table, but Li Yuan lifted up his skirt and sat down.

"Dead end?"

"Ah."

Wei Qiqi stood up unhappily without putting away the chessboard.

She walked to the bed and fell into a deep sleep. She had a good sleep quality and would lose consciousness every time she fell asleep.

Only the sound of Li Yuan breaking the game and making a move could be vaguely heard, followed by a noise.

Before going to bed, Wei Qiqi was still wondering why this kid had been making so much noise and not leaving for such a long time.

After Li Yuan broke Wei Qiqi's deadlock, he stood up and tidied up the slightly messy room.

It’s not that Wei Qiqi is sloppy and dirty, it’s just that he doesn’t like it very much.

After everything was cleaned up, a light snoring sound came from Wei Qiqi's side, she was sleeping soundly.

Li Yuan walked lightly to Wei Qiqi. Wei Qiqi was sleeping soundly, as if no matter how big the trouble was, it could not disturb her rest.

Li Yuan lowered his head slightly and knelt in front of Wei Qiqi.

I didn’t know what to do, so I just quietly looked at Qinnan’s sleeping face.

After an unknown amount of time, perhaps because she was not sleeping well, Qi Niang turned over. The movement was so big that it woke Li Yuan up. It seemed that he just realized what he was doing, and he stood up and left in a hurry.

Under the eaves, Li Yuan couldn't help but touch his chest, the beating of his heart was deafening.

When Wei Qiqi woke up, Li Yuan had already finished reviewing his lessons and began to practice swordplay and strengthen his body while reciting his lessons.

Maybe it's been a while since I last saw her, but it looked strange. The dance was a little different from before, and it looked like she had changed into a new set.

"Good morning."

"Good morning, Qi Niang."

Li Yuan finished his dance before stopping to talk to Wei Qiqi, packing up his things while talking.

It was early spring and the morning was still cold, but Li Yuan was sweating profusely. Wei Qiqi was afraid that he might catch a cold, so she went back into the house and put a coat on him.

"Go out more if you have time today. I have something else and can't accompany you." Wei Qiqi said after putting on her clothes.

Li Yuan thought she was going to keep an appointment, so he asked, "Qiniang, are you going to meet the person you invited yesterday?"

"No, just some odd things on hand. It won't stop you from going out to play with Cheng Feiyue. Don't be so bored all the time, boy."

After saying that, Wei Qiqi left. Li Yuan looked at her leaving back and was silent for a while.

After a while, a servant came to deliver the meal.

"Send it in."

I originally thought about having a meal together.

Cheng Feiyue came to find Li Yuan halfway through the meal and saw Li Yuan eating alone. He hadn't had breakfast yet, so he ate up all of Wei Qiqi's portion.

"Seventh Aunt isn't here either, so come with me and take a look around. I just found a great place, come with me and I'll keep it if you're interested."

Cheng Feiyue kept talking and making a fuss until he told Li Yuan that he might run into his Seventh Aunt if he went out, and only then did Li Yuan agree.

When they reached their destination, Li Yuan looked at the familiar place and took a deep breath: "Is this the place you said you were going to take me to?"

Chen Feiyue nodded and explained anxiously: "Believe me, the things inside will definitely open your eyes."

As he said this, he was about to drag Li Yuan in.

Li Yuan, who originally didn't want to accompany him, suddenly changed his mind after seeing a familiar carriage.
