Volume 1: The Battle of Wanghai City Chapter 67 Pacification
By the time Cao Ke hurried back to his courtyard, it was already past midnight.
Standing outside his door, looking at the lights still on in the room, Cao Ke, who has always been very thick-skinned, actually had a trace of embarrassment.
In the past, when Liu Hongyu was still in a coma, Cao Ke entered his room, naturally there was no psychological barrier, but now that Liu Hongyu has woken up, this is a little difficult to pass in Cao Ke's heart.
You might as well put yourself in Cao Ke's shoes and think about it, in the house, there is a woman who has been raped by herself, as long as there is a person with a little normal mentality, Cao Ke's situation at this time will appear, this is human nature, even if our protagonist is a person from a gangster, there will be no difference.
His right hand was raised several times and lowered several times, and Cao Ke spent a full quarter of an hour without daring to push open the door and enter the room.
"Why am I so meowed!" Cao Ke said to himself angrily: "Liu Hongyu is a little girl, am I still afraid that she will not be ?......?"
As he spoke, Cao Ke once again mustered up his courage and raised his hand to push the door. However, before his hand touched the door, he suddenly froze in mid-air: "No, you say, I went in like this, how should I face Liu Hongyu? What should I do if she is angry?...... What should I do if she scolds me?...... What if she hits me?...... Dare to beat her husband ?......."
After thinking about it, Cao Ke finally gave up his efforts, and sat on the ground helplessly: "I miss me Cao Ke, Yingming I, haven't you experienced fighting and scold......ing the street?"
At this moment when Cao Ke felt sorry for himself, a figure flashed at the door of the small courtyard, and Xiao Tao walked in with two porcelain jars covered with lids, humming a little song softly as she walked.
"Little Peach!" Seeing Xiao Tao's arrival, Cao Ke suddenly felt like he had seen a savior, hurriedly stood up, and walked in front of Xiao Tao in a few steps.
Cao Ke's sudden appearance frightened the unprepared Xiao Tao almost screamed, and after seeing clearly that it was Cao Ke, Xiao Tao took a long breath and said, "Third Young Master, it turned out to be you, in the middle of the night, I thought I had encountered a ghost, it really scared me to death!"
Cao Ke pointed at himself with black lines on his head: "Have you ever seen a ghost as handsome as me?"
Xiao Tao sneered: "I really haven't seen this yet, when the slave and maid see it in the future, I will definitely call you to go and see it together!"
"You little girl, how can you talk to your master?" Cao Ke pretended to be angry and said: "It's so late, why don't you go to sleep, what are you hanging around here?"
"Alas!" Xiao Tao sighed faintly: "Miss Yu'er woke up, the young grandmother told me to prepare some gruel or something...... " As she spoke, Xiao Tao raised the two porcelain jars in her hand in front of Cao Ke: "Look, isn't this it! I'm still sleeping? How can I sleep?"
Cao Ke nodded, pondered for a moment, and asked tentatively, "You should have entered the house just now, right?"
"Just now?" Xiao Tao said very inexplicably: "Of course the slave maid entered the house just now, otherwise, how can ......you listen to the young grandmother's orders?"
Cao Ke waved his hand and asked softly, "Since you have entered the house, have you seen clearly what state Liu Hongyu is? crying, making trouble, scolding, throwing things, or spilling something?"
"Miss Yu'er, when I entered the house, Miss Yu'er was just lying quietly, and she didn't scold and throw ......things like you said," Xiao Tao replied.
"Oh, that's right...... No, her reaction is completely unreasonable......" Cao Ke was a little puzzled when he heard Xiao Tao finish speaking, so he could only frown and muttered repeatedly.
Xiao Tao looked at Cao Ke in front of her, and finally smiled suddenly: "Third Young Master, you keep wandering at the door, won't you have no face to face Miss Yu'er, so you don't even dare to enter your own room, right?"
When Cao Ke heard Xiao Tao express his worries, his face immediately turned pale: "No, what is the meaning of 'not daring to enter'? Have I ever been afraid of anything by Cao Ke? A mere Liu Hongyu can scare me? Xiao Tao, you really love to laugh ...... you?"
Before Cao Ke finished speaking, Xiao Tao had already gently slammed the door open and entered the house, and at the same time, the little girl was still very puzzled and said loudly: "Young grandma, Miss Yu'er, the third young master is back!"
"You ......" Xiao Tao made Cao Ke dumbfounded and speechless, he never thought that before he finished speaking, Xiao Tao's side sold himself completely. In desperation, Cao Ke could only follow Xiao Tao and step into the room.
After Cao Ke walked into the room, Liu Hongyudai's eyebrows furrowed slightly, her face turned pale, and she turned her head to the side, as if she didn't want to see Cao Ke. Red Sleeves smiled slightly, took the two porcelain jars handed over by Xiao Tao, and said softly: "Brother Ke, have you finished handling the matter over there?"
"Ah...... Well, well, it's done. Cao Ke replied a little absent-mindedly: "It's so late, you and ...... Xiao Yu'er, still ...... Haven't you slept yet?"
Red Sleeves put the two porcelain jars on the table, waved his hand, and motioned for Xiao Tao to go down first. Xiao Tao understood, and after saluting Cao Ke and the others one by one, she slowly withdrew from the room.
After Xiao Tao closed the door, Red Sleeves came to Cao Ke's side, took Cao Ke's arm, pulled him to sit on the bed, and said with a smile: "Brother Ke, just now, I asked someone to prepare some porridge and rice, Sister Yu'er has been in a coma for a long time, and her stomach is very empty, why don't you feed her some?"
"Ah...... Ah!" Cao Ke finally understood the intention of the red sleeves, and hurriedly borrowed the slope to get off the donkey: "Of course, of course, Xiao Yu'er is hungry, and it is natural and obligatory for me, who is my husband, to feed her!"
"Whose husband are you? You disciple!" Hearing Cao Ke's words, Liu Hongyu suddenly said angrily: "Even if I starve to death, I don't need you to feed me! You don't have to pretend to be kind there! Also, don't call 'Xiao Yu'er' so kindly, is the title 'Xiao Yu'er' also called by you, a bastard?"
Listening to Liu Hongyu's words, Cao Ke couldn't help but feel a sense of loss and embarrassment, and looked at the red sleeves in front of him helplessly, and that expression was a little sympathetic.
Red Sleeves leaned down, leaned over to Liu Hongyu's side, and said softly: "Sister Yu'er, look, your injuries are not healed now, and you have been in a coma for several days, you haven't eaten much, and you are very weak, let's drink the porridge first, at least after drinking the porridge, you have some strength, in this way, it will also be of great help to your recovery." ”
Liu Hongyu turned her head, looked at the concerned gaze of the red sleeves, and said, "It's okay to drink porridge, but I must not let that bastard Cao Ke feed me......! I haven't forgiven him yet!"
Red Sleeves nodded: "Okay, then my sister came to feed you, it should be okay, right?"
Liu Hongyu gave a gentle sigh of kindness and agreed. Red Sleeves walked to the table, picked up a porcelain jar, opened the lid, and blew lightly: "En~! What a fragrant porridge! It's still steaming! Just looking at it makes people have an appetite." ”
As he spoke, Red Sleeves sat down next to Liu Hongyu, slowly helped her upper body up, leaned on the head of the bed, and fed her bite by bite.
Cao Ke looked at the red sleeves, and then at Liu Hongyu, and felt that he was a superfluous person now, and he was as awkward as he wanted to stay here. In desperation, Cao Ke stood up and said with some loss: "Then, you are busy, I will leave first......"
"Where are you going?" Before Cao Ke could take a step, Red Sleeves hurriedly asked, "This is your bedroom, your home! Where are you going?"
Cao Ke shook his head speechlessly: "Sleeve, don't embarrass me, okay? What kind of person I am, don't you understand? What time is it now, and what do you still want me to say? Okay! Even if I want to say something, people have to be willing to listen!"
Before Red Sleeves could speak, Liu Hongyu took the lead in asking: "Cao Ke, Sister Sleeve told me that the reason why you were strong in the first place was ...... , it's completely because I ate Jiaojiao by mistake, but this is true?"
Cao Ke was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously replied: "That's right, if it weren't for the effect of Jiaojiao, I wouldn't have been able to do such a beast-like behavior!"
Liu Hongyu nodded and said flatly: "In this case, I can temporarily ignore your faults, and you don't have to leave your own room and deliberately avoid me outside." ”
When Cao Ke heard Liu Hongyu say this, he was immediately overjoyed, and sat down on the bed again: "Since Xiao Yu'er has spoken, I naturally won't leave." ”
Liu Hongyu glanced at Cao Ke: "However, since I have woken up and stayed in your room any longer, I can't say anything, you better prepare and send me back to Liu's Mansion as soon as possible, after all, I have been away from home for so long, and my family should be in a hurry." ”
"This ......" Cao Ke's heart tightened.
Go back to Liu's Mansion, Grandma, are you joking with Xiaosheng, right? If you go back, won't all my plans be in vain? Don't make a fuss?
"You can't go back for the time being!" After thinking for a long time, Cao Ke finally made up his mind and said categorically: "You are weak now, and you are not suitable for moving at all! In my opinion, you are here with me, and the injuries on your body have been completely healed, and then returning to Liu's Mansion is the right way." ”
Liu Hongyu frowned: "Cao Ke, I just want to go home, do you have some other ideas if you are so pushing?"
Cao Ke saw that Liu Hongyu was asking tightly, and his heart was irritable, and he said loudly: "I said it all, you can't go anywhere now! Don't you hear it clearly? This decision of mine is all for your good! Don't be ignorant!"
As he spoke, Cao Ke stood up again and said to the red sleeves: "I really can't do this kind of thing to appease people, sleeves, Xiao Yu'er will be handed over to you first, I have to go out to breathe!"
As soon as the words fell, Cao Ke stopped lingering, and rushed out of the room with great strides, disappearing into the vast night......
