"Thank me for what?"
Li Qingan's handsome face was full of smiles as he opened his mouth to let Lu Xueqi feed him!
Lu Xueqi seemed to have let down her guard, and without a care, fed Li Qing'an candied fruit in the place where the two of them had stayed for four years.
Lu Xueqi, with her slender, cold fingers, lightly touched Li Qing'an's lips, fed him the candied fruit, and then quickly withdrew her hand.
Her expression returned to its usual cool and aloofness, and she ate another candied fruit.
Only then did she reply, "I don't know, but I just wanted to thank you!"
She always believed that without Li Qingan, she might not have been so happy. Her childhood experiences made her keep an absolute distance from everyone.
On that very day, she simply disguised herself as a dark figure, went out to buy groceries, and told the person in front of her her name.
This person just kept shamelessly following her...
Even now, she is still very glad that she said her name that day.
Otherwise, the two of them might truly be destined to be apart.
Li Qingan chuckled softly, looked around the small town where he had lived for four years, and said slowly, "I should thank you!"
Li Qingan also felt that if he hadn't met Lu Xueqi and hitched a ride with her, his future would have been uncertain.
Who knows if that day will bring death on the way to Qingyun Sect, or if they will live as ordinary mortals...
Fate is unpredictable; a single thought can influence one's future.
In short, that's just fate!
Lu Xueqi seemed to sense Li Qingan's melancholy. She grasped Li Qingan's hand with her delicate hand, their fingers intertwined tightly, as if to express her feelings.
next to.
"This young couple is so loving!"
"What a sight! Look at the handsome man and beautiful woman, they're a perfect match!"
"If my family could find a son-in-law (daughter-in-law) like that, I'd be willing to go bankrupt!"
"........"
Perhaps it was because the Qixi Festival was approaching, but the passersby around them were all smiling like aunties, praising the two of them to the extreme.
"Old woman, stop looking! Want some candied fruit? I'll go buy some for you!"
"At our age, why would we still eat candied fruit?"
An elderly couple with hunched backs and gray hair passed by and glanced at their appearance.
"These two are really handsome. Moreover, their features look very similar to the little boy who worked odd jobs for Old Man Li more than ten years ago, and the little girl with smudges on her face that Grandma Su brought back."
Upon hearing this, the old man looked over and examined them carefully. "It really is! Especially the woman's eyes. But I heard that the two of them were taken away to learn martial arts! They won't be coming back!"
"That's true, that's true, it's no use coming back now!"
The old woman shook her head and sighed. She and the old man stopped arguing and slowly left.
Li Qing'an and his companion did not use any magic upon entering the town, so they naturally did not hear this conversation.
However, with their five senses, they could also sense that someone was watching them.
But with their looks, who wouldn't take a second look at them if they passed by!
Li Qingan didn't pay any attention to it.
He and Lu Xueqi were walking hand in hand down the street, looking like a pair of celestial beings who had descended to earth.
Amidst the gasps of astonishment from passersby, Lu Xueqi led Li Qingan towards a certain location in Shuiyun City.
Chapter 161 Leaving a Letter!
Li Qingan and his companion walked along the familiar yet unfamiliar street.
My heart is full of emotions.
That was the place where the two of them supported each other to survive fifteen years ago.
It is also where the two people are located.
"Let's go back to our old place first, clean it up, and then we'll go..."
"it is good!"
Li Qingan walked behind, letting Lu Xueqi arrange things as she pleased.
Li Qing'an's mind wandered: He wondered if there was a segment where someone would ask, "Where do you come from, my guest?"
After a while.
The two walked through a winding alleyway and finally arrived at a small room.
Outside the room, there was a fence, but the fence was already crooked and dilapidated.
The fence was overgrown with weeds, though not very tall, which seemed rather strange compared to the more than ten years since I left.
Many roof tiles have fallen off and are scattered on the ground in patches. The earthen-yellow walls are mottled with gray, revealing the passage of time.
At a glance.
Everywhere you look, the dilapidated houses exude a desolate atmosphere.
only,
Neither Li Qingan nor Lu Xueqi cared. To them, even the most decaying place was a deeply etched and significant memory.
The reason I came back this time is to repair the house and keep it in its original state.
"Let's go, Xueqi, let's go home!"
Li Qingan pushed open the door, his cheerful voice accompanied by the creaking sound of the door, which had been in disrepair for many years, reaching Lu Xueqi's ears.
Lu Xueqi looked at her brother walking ahead, his tone revealing his undisguised joy.
slowly,
Lu Xueqi was also influenced by Li Qingan, and her taut lips kept turning up, her movements no longer showing the aloofness and detachment she had shown at Qingyun Sect.
Matching for men and women, work is not tiring!
The entire house has only two bedrooms and a kitchen.
Stepping inside, one can still vaguely see the flickering orange-red light and shadows shining through the gaps in the blue tiles.
A strong smell of rotting wood rushed into their nostrils as the door opened.
Li Qingan was responsible for replacing the roof tiles with new ones and replacing the rotten furniture inside the house.
The furniture consisted of only a dining table and a wardrobe; there was nothing else.
However, the problem is that one of the beds in the two bedrooms broke down while Li Qing'an was handling it.
Only the bed in Lu Xueqi's room remained intact.
Li Qingan said it wasn't his problem; it was just that he had always slept on a bed made of a few wooden planks, which had fallen into disrepair over the years, and that his strength was also too great.
On the other side, Lu Xueqi was diligently cleaning the dust in the room, and occasionally she could find some old clothes she had worn more than ten years ago.
Lu Xueqi put the clothes in one place and kept them safe, her eyes occasionally revealing a look of reminiscence.
Both of them tried to avoid using magic and enjoyed the process of their little home being slowly transformed by them.
Two hours later.
The afterglow of the setting sun lingered near the house.
The entire house has been completely renovated, and Li Qing'an has cleared away the weeds outside.
The sounds of the two men making changes had already alerted other residents nearby, who peeked out to see why the house, which had been quiet for so long, was suddenly so lively.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
A short, rapid knocking sounded on the door.
Li Qingan stopped making a wooden table, somewhat puzzled. He had only been back for a short time, so why were people coming to his door out of the blue?
Before Li Qingan could think further...
"Boom! Boom!"
There were a few more knocks on the door, but this time they were much slower.
He seemed to be wondering whether he should knock on the door.
Just then, the person outside the door was about to turn around and leave.
"Click——"
The door slowly opened, and Li Qing'an stepped outside, then propped up the nearly collapsing wooden door.
"you are?"
Li Qingan looked a few steps away and saw a man wearing loose, tattered clothes with a face covered in soot, except for his bright, lively eyes. He looked to be about nine or ten years old.
It's impossible to tell whether it's male or female with the naked eye.
However, Li Qingan could tell at a glance that the little black man in front of him was just a little girl.
Because his attire was exactly the same as when he first met Lu Xueqi!
Thinking it over, Li Qingan squatted down, smiling, so that she wouldn't have to look up at him like that.
"Little girl, what do you want with me?"
The little girl stared blankly at the man who was half a head taller than her even when he squatted down.
She had never seen such a handsome man before, and he looked like a legendary immortal, possessing the otherworldly quality that Grandma Su had described.
'Hmm, she's a femme fatale! I should keep my distance from her in the future!'
The little girl stared blankly at Li Qing'an for a few moments before snapping out of her daze and making her own assessment.
Are you the owner of this house?
The little girl's voice was crisp and still carried a hint of childishness.
