Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 226 Lotus Tower (29)

Since leaving Yunding Mountain this time, Ji Xiao keenly noticed some subtle changes in Li Xiangyi. He seemed to have become more peaceful and calm, as if he had experienced a spiritual baptism and became more casual.

Therefore, when Li Xiangyi saw the familiar figure at the door of his carriage, he knew that he had sneaked out of the house again.

However, Li Xiangyi did not ask the person to leave as he did in the past. Instead, he just glanced at the other person calmly, then silently rolled his eyes in his heart, and turned to walk into the house.

At the moment of passing by, Li Xiangyi muttered in a low voice: "What a haunting little ghost! It's been such a long time since we last met, how come we run into each other again? Come in!"

If it were in the past, Li Xiangyi would have issued an order to expel him without hesitation, and he would not have been so easy to talk to. However, things are different now. Perhaps it is because of his changed state of mind, or perhaps it is for other reasons. In short, he is now able to calmly deal with Fang Duobing's entanglement.

Hearing this, Fang Duobing didn't take it seriously. Instead, he responded happily, "Oh." Then he followed Li Xiangyi into the house.

In fact, ever since he confirmed on Yunding Mountain that Li Xiangyi was indeed his uncle, Fang Duobing was extremely excited deep down in his heart!

You know, Li Xiangyi is his idol since he was a child! Even now that he has grown up, this admiration has not changed at all.

So, when he and He Xiaohui were on their way back, Fang Duobing resolutely chose to sneak away again when she was not paying attention. One reason was that he didn't want to get married so early, nor did he want to marry that princess, and the other was that he wanted to see if he could meet Li Xiangyi and the others again.

As soon as he stepped into the room, Fang Duobing immediately called out affectionately, "Uncle."

When Li Xiangyi heard the other party calling him uncle again, he did not make any rebuttal, but he still couldn't help rolling his eyes before speaking: "Take these things to the kitchen and put them away. There are some fruits in them. Wash whatever you want to eat. Now I need to go upstairs to change into clean clothes."

Facing Li Xiangyi's tone and attitude of assigning tasks, Fang Duobing did not feel the slightest dissatisfaction or complaint. Because he had long been accustomed to this situation - if he wanted to continue to stay here, he would naturally have to pay a certain amount of labor as a price, and it was not something that could not be completed, it was just washing some fruit.

So Fang Duobing obediently followed Li Xiangyi's instructions, picked up the things he had placed on the table and went into the kitchen to put them away properly, then carefully washed some of the fruits and brought them to the living room and placed them neatly.

At this moment, he happened to see Ji Xiao coming down the stairs, so he walked up to her and greeted her politely.

"Aunt."

Seeing this, Ji Xiao responded with a gentle smile, and at the same time keenly caught the excitement and strong curiosity in Fang Duobing's eyes.

When Li Xiangyi changed into clean clothes and walked down from upstairs, sitting leisurely on a recliner, Fang Duobing could not wait to approach and ask, "Uncle, where are we going next?"

Li Xiangyi glared at him fiercely and said unhappily, "Are you in a hurry? We didn't ask you to wait for us. If you are in a hurry, you can leave first."

After being treated like this, Fang Duobing just scratched his head, a slightly embarrassed look appeared on his face, and he smiled awkwardly.

"No, no, I'm not in a hurry at all."

At this time, a noisy discussion came from outside the house. It turned out that the City Lord's Mansion had just issued a notice, announcing that the second daughter of the Yucheng City Lord's Mansion had died mysteriously recently, and begged everyone to provide clues so that the murderer could be brought to justice as soon as possible.

Hearing this, Fang Duobing instantly perked up, staring at Li Xiangyi with burning eyes full of anticipation.

However, Li Xiangyi only raised his eyebrows slightly and continued to eat the fruit in his hand slowly. He chewed each bite slowly, as if he was indifferent to everything around him.

Seeing Fang Duobing getting increasingly anxious, Li Xiangyi finally spoke up, "Why, do you want to solve this case?"

Fang Duobing nodded repeatedly and responded eagerly: "Yes, yes, it feels very challenging! After all, she is the second lady of the City Lord's Mansion!"

Li Xiangyi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile: "Then why not investigate it? This case should not be too difficult. Go and investigate on your own and see if you can find any clues."

Ji Xiao listened silently at the side, knowing in her heart that Li Xiangyi was just trying to join in the fun.

Although this case is quite melodramatic, it is also quite interesting. It's a pity that in this era without mobile phones, she has long been tired of playing the games she downloaded before.

Therefore, she had to find something to do with Li Xiangyi, such as watching a play. Besides, one can read a book at any time, but there is no fun at all times.

But now, for the couple, as long as there is a play to watch, it is enough, and they are not picky about other aspects.

After all, for the two of them, the only requirement of Heaven is that they die naturally in this world and die of old age. This is the greatest contribution to Him and to this world. The two of them may even live another 100 or 200 years.

"Is it really so?" Fang Duobing couldn't help but ask back when he heard this.

After a moment, he came back to his senses and suddenly realized, "Could it be that you two don't want to go with me?"

At this time, Ji Xiao interrupted and said, "Of course, you brought two servants with you, right? You can let them assist you, and we will watch from the side."

After hearing what Ji Xiao said, Fang Duobing immediately turned to look at Li Xiangyi, with an earnest look on his face, and asked: "Then uncle, will you also be here with aunt to look after me?"

Li Xiangyi raised his eyebrows slightly and responded with a smile: "Why, you don't believe it?"

Fang Duobing waved his hands hurriedly and explained anxiously: "No! Absolutely not! I just want to confirm it."

"That's great. Since you have no objection, you can leave now." Before he finished speaking, Fang Duobing broke down again and shouted loudly, "Why are you kicking me out again? There is an empty bedroom here!"

Ji Xiao looked at Fang Duobing, who was about to cry like a child, and felt helpless. She could only shake her head and rub her forehead, and said softly, "Okay, okay, Xiangyi was just joking with you, you don't have to take it so seriously. By the way, don't you plan to go and talk to your two followers? You'd better go quickly, otherwise they will come out to look for you again if it's too late."

Hearing this, Fang Duobing's originally gloomy mood suddenly brightened up as if the sky had cleared up after the rain. An ecstatic expression immediately appeared on his face, and he shouted excitedly: "Then you have to wait for me, don't start first! I'll be back soon, quickly!" Before he finished speaking, he ran away like an arrow.
