Chapter 21 Sweetness can stimulate dopamine, he likes it Hearing this, Jinli came out of the room again and glared at him: "You can't help, why are you making sarcastic remarks?" "Okay, if I had known you were so arrogant, I shouldn't have said anything to help you ask." Xie Jiyan looked casual, picked up the high heels she had kicked off and threw them to the door frame of her room, "The ground is cold, please put on your shoes." If this little stinky habit doesn't change, he will have to have the entire floor covered with cashmere carpets. She lowered her eyelashes, stretched out her white toes, and casually hooked up her shoes. Then, when Xie Jiyan raised his feet to move to the study, she quickly grabbed the corners of his sleeves and said, "Speak clearly. Have you really asked me about Lanwuzhuang?" "Is this your attitude when asking for help?" Xie Jiyan glanced sideways, his eyes lingering on her slender fingers. In the pink fingernails, the small crescent marks had a jade-like texture. His smile deepened, "I'm the only one who's like this. I'll spoil you." He dotes on her, dotes on her, and spoils her, never trying to hide anything. It is because of this that Jinli dares to be so arrogant. But she does have the capital to act arbitrarily. After all, not everyone can match the thirteen-year relationship.
Otherwise, Wei Xueling wouldn't have to win over her first. "Okay, I was wrong, Uncle Jiyan." Jinli was very pretentious. Anyway, the little girl is capable of bending and stretching, "My lord, you have a lot, so don't worry about a country woman like me. Tell me quickly, does Yin Xian agree or not?" Countryside, wild, small, Diao, woman? Fortunately, she dared to use any adjectives on her. Xie Jiyan's lips were full of endearment: "He said he would consider it." His prudent eyes instantly lit up like fireflies flying between pear trees, burning with hope: "You mean, there is hope for this?" "Ah." "That's great. I want to tell Qiu Ning the good news immediately. She will definitely scream with joy..." "We'll wait until it's done." Xie Jiyan stopped her from sending a message, "Now there's only half a chance. Yin Xian is a person with a volatile temperament." "Oh, okay, I'll listen to you." His eyebrows were full of smiles, and he said sweetly, "Then I'll make you stewed pears to relieve the heat in a few days." "The pears are still very green, are you sure you want to stew them for me to drink?" "I will pick the biggest and plump one to stew. If it's too astringent, I'll add more rock sugar. Anyway, who am I to suffer, and I can't possibly be bitter to you, Uncle Jiyan." "rhetoric." Xie Jiyan raised his arm slightly, pulled the corner of his sleeve back from her fingers, and pinched her little ear, "I remember, stew it a little sweeter." Sweetness stimulates dopamine and he likes it. Jinli's heartbeat quickened. Xie Jiyan seemed completely unaware of how sensitive the warmth of her fingertips was touching her earlobes. It's almost the same as rolling her over with your mouth, nibbling her, kissing her... Four days later.
The tide of the moon recedes. Jinli climbed to the tallest and largest pear tree, carefully picked a small basket, and carried it to the kitchen to make pear soup for Xie Jiyan. Xie Jiyan also happened to be suffering from internal heat these past two days, and his chest and throat were all tight and dry. But in the final analysis, he also blamed himself, who let him pinch Jinli's ears with his cheap hands. That night, Xinxuan was tortured and lost half of his life. To this day, he still can't forget the delicate ear beads, like a scratchy little grain of cinnabar, penetrating the bone marrow and ramming into his heart... Turned his world upside down. "You're really capable, Nie Lixi." The thin lips overflowed, and the clear pronunciation of the words drifted away with the morning breeze blowing in from the study window. Xie Jiyan took up the ink pen and wrote a few words on the picture of the pear blossom couch. After a while, the ink is dried, rolled into a small tube, and carefully placed in the scroll tube with the branches engraved on it. …… Large kitchen. I was carefully washing and peeling the green pears, and suddenly I heard the domestic servants outside the living room saying respectfully: "Good morning, old sir." It’s Grandpa Xie who’s here. She was overjoyed and quickly put down the paring knife and was about to go out to greet him, but Xie Houzheng had already walked up to the second floor with a serious look on his face. Jinli stared at his old back and stopped. Xie Houzheng has been visiting Hanchun Garden frequently these days. Does he want to discuss marriage with Xie Jiyan again? Does he really want Wei Xueling to be his daughter-in-law? And she...can't she? Feeling disappointed, Jinli continued to stew pears in a roundabout way. After a moment, he threw the sealed jar of rock sugar back to its original place and took out a jar of salt in his backhand... Xie Houzheng walked into the study and closed the door to block out all sounds. "I heard from Uncle Wang that you gave Lili the pear blossom hairpin?" He found a rosewood armchair and sat down alone. His tone was low and deep, which sounded like he was chatting about family matters, but in fact he was asking questions. Xie Jiyan calmly poured out the snacks in his suitcase and placed them one by one on the desk, "Yes, is there anything wrong?" "Nonsense! It's just nonsense!" Xie Houzheng was angry, "Lili is your future niece-in-law. It's unethical for you to openly give her a hairpin like this!" "Is it unethical?" How ironic and ridiculous, "I have taken care of her for thirteen years, and she is about to get married. How can it be unethical for me to give her a hairpin?" "Furthermore, to put it more embarrassingly, the man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried. I am neither her guardian nor have any blood relationship with her. How can it be said to be against ethics?" "It's you who decided on Ali's life-long affairs without regard to her wishes. Have you ever asked her how she feels?" "The marriage between Lili and Zeqian is an oral engagement jointly agreed by Xie and Nie's parents long before Lili went to the nunnery. I am not the one who made the decision!" Xie Houzheng's convincing dialectics.
Xie Jiyan smiled coldly: "But the Nie family has ended their relationship with Ali, so why do you still want to wade into this muddy water?" "The Nie family is not up to par, and we, the Xie family, cannot be as virtuous as them! Besides, the Xie family has been a famous family for hundreds of years. Apart from the descendants of the Xie family, how many wealthy children are there who are worthy of Linli? I can't trust it. She was free to fall in love and accidentally provoked the Phoenix Man! She was even more worried about marrying her into someone else's house and suffering the injustice!" "All in all, this marriage is the best arrangement for Lili. Only in the Xie family can we ensure that she has enough food and clothing for the rest of her life and protect her from those ridiculous criticisms!" "But you should know to some extent that the second sister-in-law is not so willing to let Ze Qian marry Ali." Back then, the reason why Jinli was sent to Hanchun Garden to take care of him was because of his second sister-in-law's guidance. He vaguely remembered what his second sister-in-law said - She said: "Childhood sweethearts sound wonderful, but Zeqian is still young, and everything still has to be academic. If the two of them eat, drink and live together every day from childhood to adulthood, they might secretly do something rebellious one day. That’s not appropriate. Let me see it this way. My uncle has a stable personality, extraordinary intelligence, and excellent academic performance. Why not let Lili live in Hanchun Garden, so that my uncle can also help with tutoring and tutoring." At that time, he didn't want to take on this troublesome matter, but Xiao Lixi kept looking at him with red eyes. He didn't know why, but he suddenly softened. But maybe, it's because there's something about him that feels the same way as hers? That's why I can't see her crying, I can't see her feeling uncomfortable, I can't see her feeling wronged...
