Tong Wangrong waited not far from the entrance of the academy for nearly one and a half hours before she finally finished school.

She told Xia He to get off the carriage and keep an eye on the entrance of the academy. Once she saw Liu Zhimo walking out of the door, he would come and tell her.

Xia He replied, her eyes opened wide as she stared at the people who were walking out, afraid that she would miss out on Liu Zhimo.

Just as she was in a daze, she finally saw Liu Zhimo's figure.

She quickly said to Tong Wangrong, "Miss, Young Master Liu has come out."

One day, Tong Wangrong immediately spoke out, "Xia He, go invite Mister Liu over."

It was school time, and there were a lot of people coming and going in and out of the academy. She could not go look for Liu Zhimo directly, because if someone saw her, it would ruin her reputation.

The only way was to ask Xia He to invite Liu Zhimo over.

She was at a corner, away from the eyes of others.

Xia He acknowledged her and quickly walked towards Liu Zhimo.

Not long after, Xia He happily brought Liu Zhimo back.

"Miss, Young Master Liu is here."

Hearing that, Tong Wangrong nervously pinched the kerchief s. She slowly walked out of the carriage, and with Xia He's support, she got off the carriage.

"Senior brother Liu, do you still remember me?"

They'd met only last night, and he still remembered her, didn't he?

Liu Zhimo nodded, then greeted, "Tong Guniang ..." If not for hearing that it was Mr. Tong's daughter looking for him, he would not have followed his. "May I ask why Tong Guniang is looking for me?"

He had nothing to do with her, so why would she look for him?

Tong Wan Rong looked up and glanced at Liu Zhimo, then lowered his face and said with a smile, "I heard father say that senior is going to get married next month, right?"

"Yes..."

After waiting for a while, other than saying yes, Liu Zhimo did not say anything else. Tong Wangrong could not hold it in and opened her mouth again, "I heard some bad rumors about Senior Brother's fiancee .."

About Ling'er?

Liu Zhimo frowned, and asked Tong Wangrong, what was the rumor?

Tong Wangrong was secretly happy, but she revealed a worried expression, "I heard others say that it was Senior Brother's fiancee who said that .. I said that you were raised on her. If not for her, don't even mention studying, even your life would become a problem .. " She glanced at Liu Zhimo, "Anyway, you've said many unpleasant things .."

Will he be angry? Did she think that no man would like to hear that?

Seeing that he was silent, Tong Wangrong pretended to persuade him, "Senior Brother, don't be angry, your fiancée didn't mean it."

Liu Zhimo quietly glanced at Tong Wangrong, and said indifferently, "Why should I be angry? This is the truth. "

However, he knew that these words could not possibly come from Li Qingling.

He had grown up with her, and knew her better than she did. How could she say something like that?

"..."

Tong Wan Rong had thought about many things, but she only excluded the kind where Liu Zhimo wasn't angry. How could he have reacted in such a way?

"Senior Brother, when you hear these words, won't you feel uncomfortable?"

She stared at him, trying to find any trace of him on his face.

She thought he might be pretending, pretending he didn't care.

"That won't happen. I really did rely on her to raise me, and also relied on her to support me. That's why I was able to come to the academy to study." Liu Zhimo laughed, "Tong Guniang, did you come to find me for this?"

His expression truly did not change. He truly did not care about those hurtful words.

Tong Wangrong tightly gripped her clothes with both hands as she was barely able to maintain the gentle smile on her face. Why was his reaction different from an ordinary person's?

If she was Liu Zhimo, hearing this, she would definitely feel uncomfortable and get into a scuffle with him.

However, not only was he not injured, he even admitted this matter very honestly.

I don't know what to make her say.

"Yeah, when I heard this rumor, I felt that it wasn't worth it. I was very angry, so I came to tell you about it."

Today, she had received two critical hits, causing her mood to become extremely depressed.

Liu Zhimo thanked Tong Wangrong. "If there's nothing else, Tong Guniang, I'll be taking my leave first."

He was about to get married, so he didn't want to have too much contact with other girls.

He was indeed doing his best to sit upright, and felt that there was nothing wrong, but he was afraid that others would spout nonsense, so he passed these words to Li Qingling, making her unhappy.

She was a jealous person, so he couldn't let her misunderstand.

"Then... "Then senior apprentice-brother take care." Tong Wan Rong really wanted to say a few more words to Liu Zhimo, but her head was still blank. He couldn't think of anything else to say, so he could only let Liu Zhimo leave with his eyes wide open.

"Miss, this... Aren't you going to stop Mister Liu? " Xia He looked at Liu Zhimo who had walked far away and then looked at Tong Wangrong, and said this sentence idiotically.

Tong Wangrong rolled her eyes at Xia He and said snappily, "What status do I have to stop him? "Huh?" She hacked her feet in hatred, threw away the kerchief, and shouted, "Return to the house .."

.. ...

When Liu Zhimo returned home, Li Qingling had not finished cooking yet, so he took the three skewers of candied fruits and entered the kitchen to greet her.

Li Qingning, who was sitting on the stool and lighting a fire heard Liu Zhimo's voice, turned his head and saw the candied fruits in his hands. She immediately jumped and pounced on him, "Big brother, are these for me to eat?"

She looked at the bright red candied flakes and swallowed her saliva. She hadn't eaten for a while, so she missed it a lot.

Liu Zhimo patted her head, and handed her two bundles of candied fruits, "Take them and share with Rou Rou!"

Li Qingning smiled as she received it, "Then I'll be going, I'll be troubling you to light the fire." With that, she dashed out of the kitchen.

After she left, Liu Zhimo placed the candied flakes in his hand next to Li Qingling's mouth, "This is yours, taste it."

Li Qingling lowered her eyes to look at the candied fruit by his mouth. She paused for a moment, raised her eyes to Liu Zhimo, and said with a smile that was not a smile: "You wouldn't have done something to let me down, right?"

Thinking about what happened today, she smiled and ground her teeth.

He looked at her innocently, saying that he was studying in the academy, what could he do to let her down?

She bit down on a candied fruits with her mouth, causing a sweet taste to spread in her mouth. She slowly chewed on the candied fruits and swallowed them before speaking again, "That's hard to say. Who knows if someone might have provoked some rotten peach blossom?"

She looked away and stirred the meat with the spatula. Feeling that was enough, she scooped it up with the plate.

Liu Zhimo placed the candied fruits on an empty plate, reached out and took away the plate in her hands, putting it aside, then asked her, who had angered her?

He could clearly feel that something was wrong with her mood.

"You .." Li Qingling went to cook the last vegetable dish.

Liu Zhimo sat on the stool and added some firewood, then smiled and asked, "How did I offend you? "Hmm?"

He thought back carefully. Had he really done anything to make her angry before he left home this morning?

Li Qingling did not reply him, and only earnestly stir-fried the vegetables.

Liu Zhimo watched her expressionless face, and his heart was beating like a drum.

He calmed himself down and waited for her to cook the vegetables before asking, "Ling'er, how did I offend you? You haven't answered me yet! "

Li Qingling purposely let him go, not saying a word, he carried the food and wanted to leave the kitchen.

But he held her hand, put the food aside, and held her face, looking at her seriously, "What exactly did you do? "Hmm?"

Li Qingling was forced to raise his head and look at him, "Let me ask you, do you know the daughter of Mr. Tong?"

Although that Tong Guniang didn't get any benefits from her, she was still a little unhappy in her heart.

Hearing Li Qingling's words, Liu Zhimo frowned, could it be that Tong Guniang had angered Ling'er?

Then how did she offend Ling'er?

"I saw her yesterday, what about it? Did she provoke you? "

Hearing that, Li Qingling scoffed, "I never thought that she would actually complain to you." She reached out to tug at Liu Zhimo's face, and said somewhat viciously, "What did she tell you? "Be honest, be lenient, and tell me honestly."

Seeing that she was pretending to be fierce, Liu Zhimo could not help but loosen his eyebrows and start laughing.

"Well, what did you tell me? Say that my fiancée released the news, that I was raised by her. " The smile on his face deepened. "My fiancée, did you really say that?"

"Yeah, I did say that, how do you do that? Are you going to be angry with me? " Li Qingling felt that there was nothing imposing about facing him like this, so she reached out to him and took his hand off her face. She took a small step back and placed her hands on her hips, staring at him, "What about you? "What did you say to her?"

Would he be angry?

Speaking of which, she also felt a bit nervous in her heart. She didn't want to hurt him because of those words.

Liu Zhimo raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "Can you guess how I answered her?"

Seeing that his expression did not seem to be angry, Li Qingling's worried heart was finally at ease.

"Could it be that you want to directly answer her, that you were raised by me?"

"Someone who knows me well! Ling'er!" Liu Zhimo pinched her nose, then smiled: "I did indeed answer her like that."

"Aren't you angry? Don't you feel hurt? "

"No, that's the truth. Don't tell me I'm not raised by you? "Hmm?"

Li Qingling rolled his eyes. This little man's mental endurance was even stronger than she had imagined.

Alright, after settling this matter, she would be in a good mood to eat.

She stretched out her hand to carry the dish, but was stopped halfway by him. "What's wrong?" She looked up and saw his serious expression. Her heart skipped a beat. "Is there something else?"

"Yes, I have something to do." He nodded very seriously, and looking at her, he said word by word, "Ling'er, did Tong Guniang come to find you today? What did she tell you? "

He was now certain that Tong Wangrong was provoking his relationship with Ling'er.

I just don't know what she said to Ling'er? It made Ling'er angry.
