"I really don't care. The four seas are my home. I can go anywhere I want as long as I can live happily and freely."

Sun Chun's face was filled with confusion that he could not fathom.

"You are still as free and easy as ever. I have the heavy burden of living on my shoulders, and I still have to think about how to support my mother and brother."

Xia Li sighed, she did not know what was the meaning of her existence, other than bearing the responsibility of this family, in coming to this time and space.

"It's good as long as you have a goal. One step at a time, who knows what will happen tomorrow. Unlike me, I muddle along everyday, feeling like a walking corpse."

It was rare for Sun Chun to share his own thoughts. After he finished speaking, he returned to silence.

In the remaining time, both Sun Chun and Xia Li quietly sat there without saying anything unnecessary.

Under the tranquil starry sky, one could slightly hear the murmurs of the evening wind, the chirping of small insects, and the snoring of old dogs. All of this seemed so warm and beautiful.

After an unknown amount of time, the surroundings gradually became quiet and a sound of the wind could no longer be heard. Sun Chun listened to the regular breathing sounds coming from beside him. Looking at the night sky, his blurry face, and curled lips, he supported the little lady who was sleeping and brought her back to his room.

"You're really heavy, eat less."

Sun Chun held onto his sore arm and helped Xia Li up onto his bed.

"Don't touch me, I want to sleep." Xia Li casually slapped Sun Chun's face and fell asleep again. Sun Chun touched his face that was being slapped, his face turning black.

In the middle of the night, Xia Li felt a chill and woke up. While struggling to pull on her blanket, she could faintly feel that someone was by her side.

She felt like she was dreaming. She stretched out her hand and patted it a few times. She heard a crisp sound by her ear, as well as the faint growl of a man.

"Xia Li, what are you doing!"

The sleeping Sun Chun was once again woken up by a series of slaps.

Following this voice, the slumbering Xia Li was scared stiff and she immediately opened her eyes.

In the darkness, there was indeed someone sitting up beside her. With a scream, she tumbled off the bed. With a thud, her head hit the wall, making her doubt life.

Sun Chun got off the bed and lit the candle. Under the light of the candle, he sat down on the ground in a sorry state.

"Why am I in your room? "Speak, are you planning something?!"

Xia Li immediately questioned Sun Chun as she nervously looked at the clothes she was wearing. Fortunately, she was wearing them.

Only when she looked around more carefully did she realize that this wasn't her room at all.

Had she touched her own room?

Had she subconsciously become so anxious?

Thinking about it, Xia Li felt as if a hundred claws were scratching his chest, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

"I was going to send you to your own room. It was you crying and making a ruckus, pestering me to come to my room. This is all your own will."

Sun Chun said without the least bit of hesitation.

"Is that so? How come I don't remember? " Xia Li felt both embarrassed and embarrassed at the same time, wishing that she could find a hole to hide in.

She glanced at Sun Chun awkwardly, and said embarrassedly: "Since I'm awake too, then I'll go back to my room now, so that I won't be seen by Third Aunt and Sixth Madam.

After Xia Li finished speaking, he stood up, waved his hand at Sun Chun, and ran off with his tail between his legs.

Sun Chun blinked his eyes, blew out the candle flame in his hand, returned to his bed, and continued resting.

However, without the company of the people around him, he no longer felt sleepy.

The next morning.

Xia Li stretched her back and pushed open the door to the room. She went to the well to wash her face and rinse her mouth.

Last night, the night was dark, and there were some things that could not be seen clearly. It was only when the sun rose that they found out how much damage the Madam Zhou and that Little Stone had done to her courtyard.

Xia Li squatted on the ground and clenched his fists. He really wanted to find Little Stone and give him a good beating.

Xia Li didn't want the Lee's to feel heartache when he came out, so he quickly packed the things by his hand. He kept those that he could use, and threw away those that he could not use.

After Sun Chun finished washing his face and rinsing his mouth, he helped Xia Li to clean up.

"You two sure are hardworking. What an enviable couple. May I ask when you two will get married?"

Madam Qian crossed his arms and saw Xia Li and Sun Chun. He walked into the courtyard with a face full of anger.

"Second aunt, did you come over? Is Little Shuang alright?"

Xia Li politely greeted Madam Qian as if he did not hear his words.

"My daughter is making a ruckus and refused to eat. She would rather starve to death than marry Sun Chun. As a mother, I really have no other choice so I came to find you two."

Madam Qian's face was flushed red, his eyes swollen like walnuts. It was obvious that he had just been crying.

"Second aunt, what did you say?"

Xia Li was shocked.

She hadn't thought that this girl wouldn't be able to get her hands on it, so she just kept crying and making a ruckus. She wouldn't stop until she reached her goal.

"Xia Li, you must ask yourself, once you are here at Li Village, how will your second uncle and I treat your family. Do you have the heart to bully our family's Little Shuang, who is currently lying on a bed without eating or drinking, trying to kill herself with a hunger strike? You, how could you force a pitiful child like her into such a corner?!"

Your aunt is begging you, alright? Just give the Young Master Sun to our Shuang'er, okay? Even if your second uncle and I were to be your slaves, we would all be willing.

As Madam Qian said that, he lifted his skirt and knelt on the ground. He wanted to kowtow to Xia Li, but Xia Li immediately helped her up.

"Second aunt …" A man and woman's relationship is something that cannot be forced. What we need to do now is to guide Little Shuang, and not blindly follow her wishes.

Xia Li supported Madam Qian and tried to pull her up, but he couldn't use a single ounce of strength.

"I don't care, my daughter wants to be with Young Master Sun now, if she can't get it, she will die, you can earn money yourself now, you are also a smart girl, you are stronger than our Little Shuang by more than a hundred times, I am afraid there will be no lack of men in the future, directly giving him to Little Shuang, what about it?"

Madam Qian turned his head and knelt down, continuing to force Xia Li into a corner with his teary eyes, causing the surrounding streets to all gather at the's house to watch the scene, and point at Xia Li and the Madam Qian who was kneeling on the ground.

Sun Chun, who was standing at the side, quietly left everyone's line of sight. Along the way, under Xia Qing's lead, they passed through an alley and arrived at Li Yushan's house.

When Xia Qing knocked on Li Yushan's door, a big black dog was tied up in the courtyard, baring its teeth and barking at Xia Qing, frightening him into hiding behind Sun Chun, and also called over Li Yuping, who was taking care of Li Xiaoshuang in the house.

"Young Master Sun, why are you here?"

The current Li Yushan had a haggard face, his beard was untied, as though he was not resting well, and his eyes were slightly red. He stared at Sun Chun, maintaining a distance from him.

"I heard from my aunt that Little Shuang is making a ruckus over a hunger strike. He wasn't in a good mood so I came to take a look."

Sun Chun politely smiled at Li Yuping, and directly said the reason for his visit.

My daughter has been spoiled by me since she was young. As long as she wants it, I will give it to her, but now that she is trying to marry you, she has the confidence to do so. I also heard from her that you rejected her gift, so I think that young master is looking down on my daughter, and it has nothing to do with you whether she is dead or alive.

Li Yuping said as he waved his hand at Sun Chun.

"Young Master Sun should leave."

"Uncle, please listen to what the junior has to say. Little Shuang, I want to explain this matter to her, she doesn't look like an unreasonable girl, it's just that she's a bit stubborn, and now that Aunt is still forcing her in Xia Li's house, she gave me over to your daughter, saying that she's pitiful for her father and mother, I think it's better to enlighten her, and the two of you should be better off. I guarantee that Uncle will give me a chance, I promise that you won't hurt her, I'm just making it clear to her."

"What did you say!?" Little Shuang's mother was forcing Xia Li! However, I, Li Yuping, will still warn you one thing. If it's because of you, my daughter has truly found the short end of the stick, I will definitely not let you off. "

Li Yuping said as he hurriedly left the courtyard to find the Madam Qian.

"Brother, I'm afraid of that dog."

Xia Qing hid behind Sun Chun and fearfully looked at the black dog that was barking at them.

"It's fine. It's only watching over the house and there's no need to be afraid of it. Just follow me and you'll have big brother to protect you."

Sun Chun held Xia Qing by his side and walked all the way through the courtyard, until he reached the front of Li Yushan's house. He knocked on the doors one by one, and only after knocking on the rooms close to the hall, did he hear a faint sound.

"Dad, I'm not eating, so don't come."

Sun Chun immediately responded, "Little Shuang, it's me, Sun Chun."

After Sun Chun finished speaking, the house immediately became silent, and silence returned to it.

He quietly pushed open the door, and saw Li Xiaoshuang putting on her shoes, as though she was anxious to come out, only to see Li Xiaoshuang put on her shoes, taking a step forward, but her body was like noodles, as she weakly pounced towards the floor.

"Be careful!"

Sun Chun walked with large strides to the front of Li Xiaoshuang and caught her falling body.

Li Xiaoshuang seemed to be shocked too, but when she saw that Sun Chun was holding onto her, her small face showed a little surprise, and she asked weakly.

"Big brother Chun, it's you. Why are you …" "It's here."

"I was worried when I heard that you didn't want to eat, so I came to take a look."

Sun Chun helped her to lie back on the bed and cover her with the blanket. He also helped her to observe the furnishings in the room: wood carved bed, pink bed tent, round table stool, dressing table, rouge, blubber …

There were quite a number of things that a girl of her age should have in her boudoir. Even in the wardrobe, there were quite a few colorful dresses, and on the windowsill, there was a pot of flowers as ornaments. The southern window opened, and a group of butterflies flew around the windowsill, causing a bowl of rice and a small bowl of vegetables to be placed on the small table beside her bed.

Compared to this Li Xiaoshuang, Xia Li's life was really like being in the sky, and on the ground, while Li Xiaoshuang was still being spoiled by his family, Xia Li had already shouldered the family's livelihood by himself.
