According to Shen Rui's arrangement, the whole Shen's residence has been properly deployed. There are three floors inside and three floors outside.

Even with such strict care, Shen Ruiyou is not at ease. His younger brother has finally recovered from his health, so he can't make any more troubles.

Seeing him going back and forth three times, Ling Xi kept admonishing him, and finally pulled him to sit down when Shen Rui came to visit for the third time, "Brother, don't worry too much, he's nothing more than a little thief."

Shen Rui looked at him and sighed.My younger brother is good at everything, but he is too simple. He has been obsessed with swordsmanship since he was a child, and he walks in the rivers and lakes with integrity. He only punishes evil and promotes good, and never pays attention to these twists and turns.In addition, after staying in the mansion for three years, he is even more ignorant of the dangers in the world.If it's just a simple little thief, how can it make trouble to the point where every family in Yangzhou city is in danger.

"You don't know much about these things. Anyway, if you get caught by that thief, the consequences will be very serious." Shen Rui explained earnestly.

Ling Xi patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, big brother, he will definitely not be able to break into Shen's residence."

Shen Rui sighed, "I hope so."

While the two were talking, the gate guard hurried over, wandered around the backyard but did not find Shen Rui, so he went straight to Ling Xi's room.

"Report! People from the magistrate's yamen are here. The leader is carrying a badge, saying that he is carrying out official business. I dare not stop him. They have already entered the backyard gate."

Shen Rui didn't expect the people from the magistrate's yamen to come so quickly, and thought that the housekeeper would come back first to report.

Ling Xi turned her head to look through the window, but before she could see anything, someone had already opened the door and entered.When he turned his head, his eyes met Yun Yi's.

Shen Rui coughed from the side, breaking the silence, "I didn't expect Young Master Yi to arrive in person."

Yun Yi nodded slightly, "The guards are all guarding the yard, and they will stay there until the thief is caught."

Ling Xi smiled at him, her gentle eyes slightly curved like a new moon, "Young Master Lao Yi."

"You don't need to say thank you." Yun Yi walked towards Ling Xi, "This is the responsibility of the magistrate's yamen."

"Young Master Yi, why don't you stay and eat." Ling Xi offered the invitation sincerely, and he couldn't let him go back hungry after a trip.

Yun Yi came to him, originally he was taller than Ling Xi, but now that they were getting closer, he lowered his head slightly, although there was no extra expression on his face, his voice was soft, "Okay."

Shen Rui looked at the two people who were too close, and took a step forward to pull his younger brother over, "My younger brother is just recovering from a serious illness, so I don't need to be too tired. I will bring the food to the room later. I will accompany Mr. Yi to the front Hall for dinner, and after the meal, send someone to send Mr. Yi back to the mansion. When the matter is over, the guards of the government will return it."

Yun Yi glanced at him, not intending to leave at all, instead she found a chair and sat down.

Shen Rui was dumbfounded when he saw this, "What is the meaning of Mr. Yi?" Was it because he didn't speak clearly enough?

"During this period, I will also stay in Shen's residence to ensure the safety of Mr. Ling." When Yun Yi said this, he looked directly at Ling Xi and said.

As soon as he heard that this guy wanted to stay, Shen Rui immediately refused to agree, "There are already guards from the Shen residence and the prefect, so there is no need to bother Young Master Yi to stay behind."

Yun Yi didn't take it seriously, "If the guards are safe, how could I save Mr. Ling in Nanyue Tower?"

The eyes of the two met, and neither of them gave in.Ling Xi looked left and right, trying to persuade him, but he didn't know where to start. One was the elder brother and the other was a good friend. They were all to protect him after all.

Such a stalemate broke down instantly with a few light coughs, Shen Rui hurriedly patted his back to comfort him, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Yun Yi hurriedly got up, looked around, poured a glass of water and handed it over.

Ling Xi was helped back to the couch, took the water, and thanked her.

When you don't know how to persuade, it is more effective to cough a few times.

In the end, Yun Yi still stayed in the Shen residence.In order to be safe, he personally guarded Ling Xi's room and never left day and night.Yunyi's reason was so strong that Shen Rui had nothing to do with him, so he had to temporarily stop fighting in order to catch the thief.

It's okay to say that the sky is bright and bright, but at night, people have to sleep.No matter how healthy your body is, you can't stand staying up for a few nights.

Ling Xi secretly glanced at the person sitting upright, "Young Master Yi, I don't think the thief will come for a while, why don't you go to the next door to rest? If there is any trouble, you can still know as soon as possible."

Yun Yi opened her eyes and said calmly, "In the case, the son of member Chu was murdered in the room. At that time, there were guards guarding the door, and member Chu slept next door, so there was no way to prevent it."

Hearing what he said, Ling Xi couldn't persuade him to go to the next door to rest, but he couldn't bear to see this man sitting on a hard chair for a whole day and even a whole night in order to protect him.

"Ah Jiu."

The door was pulled open from the outside immediately, Ah Jiu rushed in with a whoosh, his eyes wide open.The Eldest Young Master told him to be smart at the door, and to rush in immediately when he heard any trouble.

"Master, are you okay?"

Ling Xi rubbed the center of her brows, "I'm fine, go ask someone to set up a couch for Mr. Yi to rest."

Seeing that Ling Xi was safe and sound, Ah Jiu heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "I'm going now, my slave."

After a while, the newly purchased bed was carried into the house. The mattress was carried from the next door, and no one had used it yet.

The lights in the room were turned off, Yun Yi was lying on the new couch, but her eyes were not closed, and there was still a little light in the room through the glazed lamp beside the bed.He turned his head and looked at the person on the opposite couch.

If not this time.Regarding the flower thief, he still doesn't know why he wants to see this person again.Originally, he thought that Ling Xi was well protected in the Shen residence, but when this incident happened, he suddenly felt that the Shen residence was not enough to protect him thoroughly.

"Young Master Yi, are you asleep?"

Ling Xi closed her eyes for a long time, but still did not fall asleep, she simply opened her eyes, was attracted by the glazed lamp by the window, and remembered the person on the couch opposite.

He originally asked softly, if the other party fell asleep, he wouldn't bother him.Unexpectedly, the other side replied with two words lightly, "No."

Ling Xi turned sideways, "Did I disturb you?"

"Did not bother."

Ling Xi listened to his speech without a nasal sound, and thought he was sleepy at all, "I can't sleep."

Yun Yi didn't expect that the person on the other side was like him, thinking that he was worried about the thief, and comforted him, "Don't worry, I'm here."

Ling Xi didn't know why she couldn't sleep, but it was definitely not because of that little thief.

"I heard that Mr. Yi went to the capital to study since he was a child. How lively is the capital?"

Yun Yi roughly recalled, "It's quite lively."

Since neither of them could fall asleep, Ling Xi wanted to chat with him for a while, the two of them were the only ones in the left and right rooms, "Is there anything fun?"

This stumped Yun Yi, he hesitated for a moment before saying, "I never noticed it."

After so many years in the capital, have you never paid attention to the fun and delicious food?Could it be that he is a sword idiot like himself?

"What did Mr. Yi do when he was a child?"

Yun Yi recalled, "Reading, practicing martial arts... It's gone." There are still some things that can't be said.

Ling Xi couldn't help chuckling, it was really simple and clear.

"Being your husband must be very worry-free. When I was a child, I was different from now. According to my mother, I went to dangerous places with a thick head and a tiger's head. Maybe it's because I read too many books and always wanted to be a knight in the face of injustice."

Yun Yi seemed to recall some memories because of his words, so he couldn't help but bend his lips, and murmured, "It's quite a tiger."

"Huh?" Ling Xi tilted her head, "What did you say?"

"It's nothing."

It was late at night, and the crescent moon outside the window turned to an invisible place.Yun Yi gradually lost his voice when he heard the person across from him talking about his childhood. He got up suddenly, and quietly approached Ling Xi's couch, bent down and knelt on one knee beside the bed, barely able to see her sleeping face clearly.

Ling Xi, who was asleep, looked extraordinarily obedient, her chest rose and fell slightly, but her breathing was a bit heavy, Yun Yi knew that the weaker the person, the more so.He tucked the quilt up for someone, and then returned to his couch without a sound.

Yun Yi lived in Shen's residence for two days and two nights, during this period, Na Cai.The flower thief never showed half a shadow.

The thief didn't catch him, but Yun Yi became more and more familiar with Ling Xi's daily routine. He knew exactly when to drink medicine, when to eat, and when to sit by the window to watch the scenery in the yard.

"Young master, it's time to drink the medicine."

Ah Jiu just entered the room, and in the blink of an eye, the medicine bowl in his hand was taken away.

"I'll be fine."

Yun Yi returned to the bed, and skillfully fed the medicine, spoon by spoon slowly, and when she saw a little medicine residue on the corner of her mouth, she immediately wiped it off with the soft towel beside her.Ling Xi got used to being fed by him unknowingly, and didn't feel anything wrong at all, nor did she feel that the two were too close.One feeds freely, the other is fed calmly.

Ah Jiu was stunned for a while, the medicine was snatched by this Mr. Yi to feed him, the rice was brought by this Mr. Yi to eat together, when it was cold, he rushed to cover the quilt and make clothes, and when he was thirsty, he immediately poured water and handed it to his mouth side.Being so thoughtful, it's possible that the eldest and young master came to compete with them for an errand. If things go on like this, he and Xiao Zhong might pack their bags and go home.

"Will the Cai. Flower thief change his target?" Ling Xi pondered, and said that he would definitely make a move within three days. Now that there is no one, how can he catch it?If they are not caught this time, more people will surely be victimized.

Yun Yi said, "According to the previous case, it is impossible for him to take the initiative to admit defeat."

Now Ling Xi couldn't figure it out even more, what is this little thief waiting for?Is it possible to count the auspicious days of the zodiac?

The author has something to say: Little Theater

Ling Xi: Are you here to catch a thief?

Yunyi: I'm here to protect you.
