With space in hand, who dares to mess with the villain's stepmother?

Zhou Zeyun paused and said softly: "...What about you?"

"What's wrong with me?"

"Have I ever... caught your heart?" His eyes were intense and a little nervous. This was also the first time he expressed his love so openly.

"I..." Gu Xiaoxiao saw the seriousness in his eyes, which was different from the joke just now, and she didn't know how to speak.

She has never been shy about expressing her love, but she didn't know how to answer at this time.

She felt happy when she saw him. She seemed to like him, but she was afraid that it was just an illusion.

In the last days, she has no family affection, no friendship, and no love.

Naturally, she doesn’t know what state she will be in when love comes, and she doesn’t know how she can fall in love with someone.

At first, she just saw Zhou Zeyun as good-looking, and it seemed impossible to fall in love with him like that.

At this time, Gu Xiaoxiao couldn't tell whether she liked Zhou Zeyun as a person or whether she felt special about him because he gave her a dream home.

It’s true that I love you, it’s true that I want to be with you forever, and everything I care about you is true! Zhou Zeyun said in his heart.

Zhou Zeyun then looked away and no longer looked at her.

"He will not be like Liang Yun who is dull but easy to talk, nor will he be as lively and able to assess the situation like Liang Fei, nor will he be as sweet-mouthed and talkative as his younger brother Mu Yu. He...he knows

Choking me, you don't take me seriously at all!" Dabao's face was full of anger.

Gu Xiaoxiao felt a little aggrieved, pursed his lips, and got out of the car too.

Still not looking at Xiaoxiao or talking.

Gu Xiaoxiao smiled, feeling proud.

So her little head turned around and she came up with a solution.

Dabao was already feeling guilty, and when he heard Gu Xiaoxiao's tone of voice that sounded like he knew everything, he became even more embarrassed.

Gu Xiaoxiao's strength was so great that Zhou Zeyun couldn't break free, so he stopped and just stood there quietly.

Ouch~

"When have I lied to you? What I said to you has always been true!"

The point is that as long as all the work at home can be done by those who bought it back, the two elders of the Zhou family can enjoy their leisure time.

He didn't know why, but as long as he was with Mu Yan, Mu Yan could successfully arouse his emotions, making it difficult for him to calm down.

When he arrived at the door of his house, as soon as the carriage stopped, Zhou Zeyun got up and got out of the car, without even looking at Xiaoxiao or saying a word.

Gu Xiaoxiao didn't know what was wrong with her. When he ignored her, she felt very uncomfortable, as if she had choked on a piece of steamed bun. She couldn't move up or down, and felt so uncomfortable.

Gu Xiaoxiao did not answer his question, but asked him: "What happened to you today that made you decide to come to me and ask for a replacement?"

She chuckled lightly, "What's wrong? What kind of expression are you looking at? I didn't offend you!"

Zhou Zeyun and Gu Xiaoxiao have reconciled as before, which makes the atmosphere at home warm up again. The children are very happy. If their parents have a good relationship, they will feel at ease!

After a few peaceful days at home, Gu Xiaoxiao was lying on a wicker chair in the courtyard lazily basking in the sun. It was indescribably comfortable!

At this time, she saw Dabao walking towards her angrily, his face extremely dark!

Gu Xiaoxiao naturally heard the sound, raised his eyelids slightly, saw his appearance, and then closed his eyes again to enjoy the sunshine.

The two of them made a tacit agreement not to mention the unpleasant things that day. Zhou Zeyun wanted to escape, but Gu Xiaoxiao really hadn't thought about his feelings for Zhou Zeyun.

She secretly dipped some juice from the onions in the space on her fingers, and lightly tapped them under her eyes.

Dabao was a little confused and said doubtfully: "They are bought by you, mother, with money. They are our masters and their servants. Isn't it right for them to listen to me and follow my wishes?"

In the days that followed, the government examination lasted for five days. In order to ease the atmosphere between him and Zhou Zeyun, Gu Xiaoxiao sent Zhou Zeyun to the examination room every day, and then went to Anhe Hall to stay, and picked him up when the time was almost up.

Hearing this, Gu Xiaoxiao still closed his eyes and didn't take Dabao's words seriously at all, but his face looked as if he had known that such a day would come.

Gu Xiaoxiao tried hard to find a topic to talk to him, but Zhou Zeyun didn't say a word. He just stretched out his arm for Gu Xiaoxiao to hold on to when getting on and off the carriage.

This also means that Zhou Zeyun cares about her.

He raised his hand, rubbed his index and middle fingers together, and flicked Gu Xiao's forehead.

Gu Xiaoxiao's voice sounded without any ripples, "Why did Mu Yan offend you?"

He was afraid that his mother would think he was too stingy, so he hurriedly added: "This only happened today. It happened several times before. I can still understand the meaning of his words. It's just that he doesn't like me, and I can't see it."

When it comes to sleeping with him, it’s best for the two of us to be as far apart as possible, and it’s best not to have any intersection again!”

You can let them farm, wash clothes, cook, and many more...

Dabao's face turned red and he hesitated a little: "Nothing happened... it's just... I've had this idea for a long time. I just came to tell you today."

When she saw him like this, she had accumulated grievances for so many days in her heart, and her eyes suddenly turned red.

Gu Xiaoxiao saw that he was done pretending and it was time to stop.

But she also knows that the effect of tears can only be fully reflected on the people who care about her.

But every time Gu Xiaoxiao stood firm on the ground and wanted to talk to him, he would enter the house, shut himself in the room, and would not talk to Gu Xiaoxiao. Even when eating, he would go into the house after eating.

"Okay, let me tell you." Dabao gritted his teeth and spoke: "...Actually...it's because I want to review the knowledge taught by Teacher Xu in class, and he pulled me and asked me to practice boxing with him. I don't want to

If he is willing, he will tell me... He will say that my boxing skills are very poor and far from the second treasure, and he told me to practice more!" As soon as the words came out, his face became even more embarrassing and blushing. Being said like this by that kid, he felt very high-spirited.

He looked very embarrassed!

But who would have thought that when Gu Xiaoxiao heard this, he just smiled softly and said in a joking tone: "After all, it's just because I don't like you and won't please you."

Gu Xiaoxiao let out a cry of pain, rubbed the place where Zhou Zeyun was playing, and came back to his senses.

He... must be disappointed in her.

The atmosphere at home was low-pressure, and the children did not dare to speak loudly for fear that their parents would be unhappy and take it out on them.

Zhou Zeyun waited for a long time, but did not hear an answer. The tension in his heart slowly turned into sadness, his hope turned into disappointment, and little by little, the fire in his heart was extinguished.

He looked at his mother's beautiful profile as if she was sleeping, and said in a slightly softer tone: "So, mother, just give him to someone else. I don't care if I want to follow you or not! I'll be with him sooner or later."

I will get sick from his anger!"

Gu Xiaoxiao raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, trying to stop Zhou Zeyun from wiping her tears. He wiped the onion juice everywhere. Although the amount was small, it still made her face hurt!

She pretended to cry and said: "Aren't you not talking to me? Aren't you not looking at me? Aren't you angry with me! Then why do you care about me? Go in, go into your house! Leave me alone.

Got it!"

After saying that, he walked past Gu Xiaoxiao and went straight into the carriage. Gu Xiaoxiao felt a little unhappy when he saw his back getting into the carriage.

She looked up and saw Zhou Zeyun standing next to the carriage, with an upright figure and a distinguished temperament.

When Gu Xiaoxiao saw him, a smile appeared on his face. His delicate hand gently placed on Zhou Zeyun's arm, and he helped him get out of the carriage.

Dabao frowned deeply and said in a cold voice: "Mom, give Mu Yan to someone else, I don't want him! Either give it to someone else, or I don't need anyone, and I can do it myself. Anyway, I don't want him.

Mu Yan follow me!"

This time, Zhou Zeyun was at a loss and no longer reserved. He quickly wiped her tears and while wiping her tears, he coaxed: "Why...why are you crying? Stop crying. Stop crying. It's...it's not my fault."

, it’s all my fault, Xiaoxiao, I’m sorry, please stop crying, okay!”

But in the end, because I couldn't bear to part with the scraps of silver, the idea never came to fruition.

As soon as the car curtain opened, Gu Xiaoxiao bent down and was about to get out of the car, when an arm appeared in front of him.

He frowned, with a hint of childishness that had never manifested in him before, and said: "Obviously I taught him the boxing technique at the beginning, but now he actually calls me useless! Am I not better than him? He actually said that to me.

, it’s a shame that I taught him boxing in the first place and didn’t know how to repay a favor!”

It was as if contradicting him and seeing him angry gave Mu Yan a sense of accomplishment.

Then Gu Xiaoxiao got on the carriage with a red and swollen forehead.

Gu Xiaoxiao was so embarrassed now, the smile froze on his face and looked very forced.

Her acting skills are really good!

Dabao is a child with a delicate and sensitive mind. He knows exactly what he wants in his heart, which makes him cold-hearted and indifferent to outsiders. He is not a big kid, but he insists on maintaining a good posture and is extremely face-saving.

Zhou Zeyun raised his lips and smiled faintly, with a hint of sadness in his smile, and said: "I'm just teasing you, let's go, it's getting late, it's time to go home."

When he was at Lao Zhou's house, he also heard the second elder of the Zhou family say that they wanted to buy some servants to serve them, and then they would do whatever they said, and the person who bought them must be obedient.

He said gently: "You are so little, what should I do with you!"

"Okay~ Never again!" Zhou Zeyun coaxed in a loving tone.

Suddenly, his eyes became even redder, and tears burst into his eyes.

The smile on Gu Xiaoxiao's face froze again, making her even more embarrassed.

"Are you telling the truth? Aren't you angry with me?" Gu Xiaoxiao looked up at him, her big eyes red, like a frightened little rabbit.

Nothing to say! What a joke!

Get rid of it!

It's just that his face didn't look good at this time, a little shy, and a little embarrassed.

He had no choice but to sit down next to Zhou Zeyun, not knowing what to say, so he remained silent all the way home.

But he didn't need Mu Yan to wash and cook for him, he just wanted to listen to him in everything. Even so, Mu Yan didn't do it.

Finally, on the fifth and last day of the imperial examination, Gu Xiaoxiao couldn't bear it anymore. When she got off the carriage at home, she held Zhou Zeyun's arm tightly, so that he could not help but just leave.

As soon as he entered the carriage, his eyes met with Zhou Zeyun's, and she smiled ingratiatingly.

All the candidates had left, and only the two of them were left at the entrance of the empty examination room, together with Liang Duo on a carriage not far away.

They were both thinking to each other, just take it one step at a time!

This is Gu Xiaoxiao whom Zhou Zeyun has never seen before, as if he is weak and needs to be protected.

Liang Duo was a little confused, because Zhou Zeyun and Gu Xiaoxiao spoke in a low voice and he couldn't hear them, so he wondered why the masters were standing there but didn't get on the carriage, but as a servant, he didn't dare to ask more

, can only wait.

Zhou Zeyun hurriedly coaxed: "It's my fault, my fault, I will never ignore you again, please stop crying, okay, Xiaoxiao, I'm not angry with you, I...I...I'm just, I

I just feel very sad, I don’t know how to face you, I...it’s all my fault!”

Still didn't look at her or say a word.

But he didn't dare to express the turbulent love in his heart, not even the temptation last time.

After she stood firm, she wanted to talk to Zhou Zeyun, but Zhou Zeyun retracted his arm pretending to be indifferent and walked straight into the house.

When her hand touched Zhou Zeyun's arm, Zhou Zeyun's ears turned red visibly.

Gu Xiaoxiao couldn't hold it back and cried out with a cry of "ah".

Thinking like this, she raised her hand and hit her forehead hard.

Seeing Gu Xiaoxiao like this made his heart ache again, and he blamed himself even more for not taking Xiaoxiao's feelings into account and causing her to be like this.

Seeing Gu Xiaoxiao smiling, Zhou Zeyun's heart relaxed. He sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness and helplessness in his tone.

She is not blind, and she must have been able to see Mu Yan and Dabao's lack of dealing with each other. It was only because of his promise to her and his forbearance as a servant that Mu Yan did not directly fall out with Dabao, and he probably acted okay on the surface.

Mainly because they originally spent money to buy their mother back, but they already felt that they spent too much money and felt distressed.

This conclusion made Gu Xiaoxiao's heart move again.

"He and I never talk about each other, and we can't live in peace at all. I've had enough of it these days!" Dabao showed a rare emotion.

Zhou Zeyun pursed his thin lips and didn't want to hear her answer. In short, it was not the answer he wanted to hear.

Gu Xiaoxiao raised his eyebrows slightly and raised the corners of his mouth, "Do you think I believe it?"

Then she stopped crying, but she still spoke in a crying tone, "Then don't do this again in the future, I will be sad!"

Gu Xiaoxiao then stood up from the wicker chair and looked sideways at him.

She knew that Mu Yan's words did not have any derogatory meaning, but were just out of good intentions.

She had seen the two of them practicing boxing in the past few days. If Dabao taught Mu Yan boxing, he only showed it twice at the beginning. The rest was based on Mu Yan's own memory and practice. Originally, Dabao was not very good at it.

I wanted to teach, but I only showed it for her sake.

When Erbao saw the two of them practicing boxing, which was what he was good at and loved, he also pulled Liang Yun to practice with them, so that the four of them would box together in the yard every day.

Mu Yan was originally a good young man who wanted to learn martial arts, and he was a diligent person. After practicing for a few days, not only his body was strong, but his boxing skills were almost catching up with Er Bao's.
