Chapter 281 Can You Be a Little Lighter?

Pei Ye's Adam's apple choked up as he looked at Chu Li's beautiful yet tired profile in the firelight.

His eyes were red and tears were welling up in them. He stood up and left without saying a word.

When he was out of their sight, Pei Ye felt a lump in his throat and looked up at the sky.

He saw how much Chuchu had suffered over the years, and he had treated Chuchu like that before.

Pei Ye punched the tree, his eyes red as warm tears fell.

"Pei Ye, you will never be able to repay Chu Chu in this lifetime!"

He calmed himself down and returned to the cabin, where he saw Ye Hanting handing the barbecue sprinkled with chili powder to Chu Li.

He said in a deep voice: "Your Highness doesn't like spicy food."

Chu Li awkwardly bit a skewer of meat in his mouth, looking at Pei Ye with puffy cheeks like a hamster.

"I'm not a child who can't eat spicy food. Now I really like it."

Pei Ye came back to his senses instantly. The Chu Chu in his memory was only ten years old.

And now Chu Li is already an adult.

Chi Yan finished roasting the sweet potatoes and asked Chu Li, "Your Highness, do you like roasted sweet potatoes?"

Chu Li nodded, "I love to eat."

Chi Yan placed all the sweet potatoes in front of Chu Li, "Then you eat more."

Ye Hanting frowned slightly. Why was Chi Yan so attentive to Chu Li recently?

Chu Li picked up a sweet potato and quickly put it down. His fingers were instantly burned red by the heat.

Chi Yan covered his face and thought, it’s over, I’m going to get beaten tonight, and I’ll be fine.

"Come with me." Ye Hanting took Chu Li's hand and pressed it into the water tank.

Chu Li had his hand held by him. She looked up and saw Ye Hanting's nervous look. She felt embarrassed and pulled her hand away.

Pei Ye stared at Ye Hanting's hand and said in a cold voice, "Since Master Ye knows so many principles from the books of sages, doesn't he know that men... should avoid suspicion?"

Ye Hanting looked back at him, "Didn't the saint tell you that people should learn to judge the situation and act accordingly, and not be too particular in an emergency."

Pei Ye was speechless after being rebuked by Ye Hanting. He was the only one who could speak!

Chu Li felt the weird atmosphere between the two men, so she took the roasted sweet potato and started eating.

The roasted sweet potatoes with a caramel flavor and molasses instantly made Chu Li addicted.

good to eat!

Life is all about eating and drinking.

This is no more pleasant than listening to those two men quarrelling.

Pei Ye looked back and saw that Chu Li was not affected by them at all. Instead, he was eating hard.

Ye Hanting sat down beside her and handed her the water bag, "Drink some water."

Chu Li naturally took it and gulped down two gulps.

Ye Hanting smiled and wiped the dirt off her cheek with his thumb, "Just like a cat."

Pei Ye glared at them. The way Ye Hanting and Chu Li got along was too much like an old couple. He wanted to chop off Ye Hanting's hand.

Pei Ye stood up, asked for the golden wound medicine from his subordinates, sat next to Chu Li, and took her hand.

Chu Li immediately withdrew his hand and looked at Pei Ye with a distant look.

"Commander Pei, I have forgotten the past. I have no idea what you and she experienced. It is better for us to keep our distance."

Pei Ye was instantly saddened when he saw Chu Li's cold attitude towards him.

Clearly, when Ye Hanting pulled her to find the water tank just now, she didn't react so strongly.

He just wanted to apply medicine to Chuchu like he did when they were kids.

Seeing Pei Ye was about to break, Chu Li coughed and explained, "I am not a child after all, I can do it myself."

She took the golden wound medicine from Pei Ye's hand and applied it on herself.

"See, isn't this better?" She returned the golden wound medicine to Pei Ye.

Pei Ye felt better.

"Thank you." Chu Li's tone became gentler when he said this.

Pei Ye raised his eyes and smiled instantly, "It doesn't hurt anymore, right?"

Chu Li nodded, "Just a little injury."

Pei Ye said guiltily: "I will ask the maid to apply some medicine to the places where I hurt you after we go back."

"Okay, got it." Chu Li really couldn't bear to hurt Pei Ye.

Ye Hanting sat not far away and stared at Pei Ye. The look in his eyes when he looked at Chu Li seemed as if he wanted to eat her up.

Ye Hanting's knuckles tightened little by little.

Chu Li suggested, "Shall we go back?"

"Okay." Ye Hanting and Pei Ye said in unison.

Pei Ye's eyes lit up, "Your Highness, please come with me. I am in charge of the palace restrictions and can enter and leave the palace at any time. I will take you back to the East Palace."

Chi Yan curled his lips and said, "Hmph, you wish! Her Highness wants to go back to see her daughter, how can she go with you?"

Sure enough, Chu Li coaxed Pei Ye, "You go first, so that others won't doubt my identity."

Pei Ye felt a little disappointed, but he was very obedient, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Chu Li smiled slightly, and Pei Ye also became happy.

Today is the most painful day for him in all these years, but also the happiest day.

He had forgotten how long it had been since he had laughed so heartily.

After Pei Ye left, Ye Hanting stood up and invited Chu Li, "Come on, I'll take you back."

Chu Li nodded, "Sir, just take me to the old house."

Ye Hanting understood that she was going to the Sixth Prince's Mansion again, and that mansion was just a cover.

He didn't expose it.

The two of them sat in the carriage along the way.

Ye Hanting saw her frown and asked, "Where are you hurt?"

There was no way Chu Li would agree to him pulling open her clothes to see where the wound was.

Ye Hanting could only test how serious her injury was in this way.

"It's okay, I'm wearing soft armor." Her breasts grew bigger after giving birth.

In order to avoid being discovered as a girl, she made a piece of soft armor for self-defense.

The soft armor is invulnerable to swords and spears, and can defend against internal martial arts punches and palms.

There are barbs on the surface of the armor, and if you hit them with your bare hands, you will be injured.

So today Pei Ye's hand was more seriously injured than hers.

However, this soft armor is a bit hard. It would be better if there was a soft armor with gold thread.

Ye Hanting smiled slightly. She would protect herself, which was more important than anything else.

After the carriage arrived at the house bought by Chu Li, Ye Hanting took his men away.

After Chu Li waited for him to leave, he quietly went to the Sixth Prince's Mansion.

Half an hour later, Chi Yan came back.

"Master, rest assured, His Highness has safely entered the Sixth Prince's residence."

Ye Hanting looked at him quietly, and Chi Yan was so scared that he covered his butt.

"Master, I will never dare to withdraw the secret guards again. Can you be more gentle?"

Ye Hanting withdrew his gaze from him and said, "Go to sleep."

Chi Yan's eyes widened. What? No punishment!

Did he do any good deeds?

"Thank you, master. Thank you very much!" Chi Yan thanked repeatedly.

Ye Hanting watched Chi Yan walk out happily with each step, and the corners of his lips also rose.

He saw how good Chi Yan was to Chu Li.

What's the reason to punish him?

Maybe not.

.....

After Pei Ye returned, when his subordinates were bandaging his wounds, he discovered that there were several small holes on his hands.

Pei Ye stared and thought: Could it be left by the palm he hit Chu Li with?
