When he was on his way to Ye Changqiu’s house, Liu Laner kept looking at the loquats in his hands. On the one hand, he was thinking about eating them with his brother Changqiu at his house, but on the other hand, he couldn’t help but be greedy.

"Just eat one." In the end, unable to resist his greed, the young man whispered to himself, picked up the loquat and bit it open with his white teeth.

The sweet and sour taste made the young man squint his eyes, put the whole loquat into his mouth, bit it, and continued walking with the remaining loquat in his hands.

When passing by Tongshan's house, the young man paused. He tilted his head and looked at the fence outside the yard, and couldn't help but walk over and take a look.

"Wasn't this place empty before..."

Could it be that someone had already moved in since he didn't come a while ago?

Liu Lan'er couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, walked quietly to the door of the yard, and secretly looked inside through the crack in the door.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

The sudden voice from behind made him tremble, and all the loquats in his arms fell to the ground.

Tong Shan frowned and stared at this sneaky figure with evil eyes.

Liu Laner's back was turned to her, watching the shadow of the person behind him directly cover his body, his heart was pounding nervously as if he had been caught doing something bad.

The young man turned around with his eyes closed, without even seeing clearly. He lowered his head and apologized: "Yes, I'm sorry! I didn't mean it, I was just too curious! I really didn't mean to peek!"

The woman's delay in responding made him even more uneasy. Liu Lan'er quietly narrowed one eye, and what caught his eye was a pair of the woman's old shoes.

"That's all, you go if you have nothing to do."

The woman's clear voice made him even more curious. Liu Laner's eyes went up from the woman's toes until he raised his head and stopped at her face.

The face with regular features and a pair of clear eyes was looking at him lightly, and the tall and straight figure gave him an inexplicable sense of oppression.

It made his heart beat fast, even faster than when he was caught peeking just now. The boy who only reached the woman's chin looked up at her blankly, a blush slowly appearing on his fair face.

Tongshan frowned and looked at him: "Are you okay?"

The young man just looked at her steadily, and even the tips of his ears began to turn red.

Tongshan raised her hand and waved it in front of him worriedly: "Hello? Are you okay?"

"Ah" the young man finally reacted, let out a soft cry and quickly lowered his head, the tips of his ears turned red, and he stumbled: "No, it's okay..." His hands were tangled together helplessly.

"Which family are you from? Go home quickly." He came to her to take a peek when he had nothing to do.

Liu Lan'er pursed his pink lips, raised his almond-shaped eyes and glanced at her secretly, then lowered his head and whispered softly: "I came to my uncle's house to play."

The young man murmured in a low voice, and Tongshan still heard clearly: "Your uncle is who?"

"Uncle is uncle." The young man pursed his lips slightly and his voice was as low as a mosquito's cry.

"..." It was all in vain. Tongshan frowned: "Then go find your uncle quickly and don't stay here."

This is so sneaky.
