Everyone was dead, Lu Ange sat down on the ground as if he lost his strength. On this barren riverside, he sat alone for a long time, and finally tied stones to each corpse when the sun was setting, and then sank all the corpses into the river.

There was still blood on the ground, but what did it matter? Does anyone know whose it all belongs to?

The orange light shone on Lu Ange's back, and he walked back silently. He knew that the old Lu Ange would never come back. That Lu Ange who liked to go outing with his classmates to write lyrics had disappeared, but luckily he thought, he still had Xunmei.

Lu Ange found out about Ai Qian's illness when he returned to the White Mansion. He panicked and immediately went to Ai Qian's small courtyard.

Xiao Xing saw Lu Ange coming from a distance, and entered the room beaming, "Miss, my uncle is here to see you."

Ai Qian was feeling dizzy, she thought about it, and said to Xiao Xing: "Just say I fell asleep, don't let him in."

"Ah?" Xiao Xing looked puzzled, does Miss not want to see Uncle?

When Lu Ange walked into the yard, Xiao Xing went up to meet her and said, "Is my uncle here to see Miss?"

Lu Ange nodded, "What's wrong with her? She was fine yesterday."

"Yesterday, Miss was blown in the yard for a while, and she fell ill this morning." Xiao Xing said: "The doctor said that she will recover soon."

"Oh." Lu Ange said as he raised his legs and was about to go in.

Xiao Xing opened his arms to stop Lu Ange and said, "Uncle! You...you'd better come back tomorrow."

Lu Ange asked puzzled, "Why?"

"Miss... she's already asleep." Xiaoxing lied a little nervously and said, "The doctor said she needs to rest."

Lu Ange said, "I'll just go in and have a look at her, without making a sound."

"Uncle!" Xiao Xing said anxiously, "You'd better come back tomorrow."

Lu Ange is not stupid, she knows it's not as simple as Ai Qian falling asleep. Xiaoxing didn't let him in, probably because Ai Qian didn't want to see him.

He looked at the door worriedly, and then said: "Then I'll come back tomorrow, and you take good care of Xunmei."

"Hey." Xiaoxing breathed a sigh of relief, "I know."

Lu Ange turned to leave, still wondering why Ai Qian didn't see her. Before he had gone far, the adjutant found him and said, "Uncle, the commander wants to see you."

Lu Ange's heart tightened, his body began to tense up, and he responded.

Bai Yuan was sitting behind his big desk, which was said to be used in the study room of high officials in the Qing Dynasty, and was reading a book. When Lu Ange knocked on the door, he was staring at the book seriously, Lu Ange said: "Commander, are you looking for me?"

"En." Bai Yuan said without taking his eyes off the book, "Come in."

Lu Ange walked in obediently, and Bai Yuan said, "What did you go out for today?"

Lu Ange's face didn't change, but his back was sweating, he said: "I didn't do anything, I just..."

Before he could think of a reason to make his nervous heart start beating violently, Bai Yuan suddenly put the book down and said, "Is there anything more important than my good girl? My good girl got sick early in the morning and waited for a day You are all outside, does it mean that if a good girl likes you, you can ignore her?"

"No, it's not." Lu Ange wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I went out early in the morning, so I didn't know that Xunmei was sick. I went to see her immediately after I came back, but she... doesn't seem to want to see me."

"Why doesn't she want to see you, don't you have any idea?" Bai Yuan's beard almost turned up in anger, "The good girl is sick in the morning, but you, the fiance, don't care about it all day long. Don't even think about seeing you."

Lu Ange felt that he was even more nervous now than before. He deeply reflected on himself, and then said: "There will be no next time. From today onwards, I won't leave Xunmei for too long."

"En." Bai Yuan was a little more satisfied now, "You go, the good girl wants to eat the sour plum cake from Jujulou when she is sick and has no appetite, so you can buy it for her tomorrow."

Ai Qian heard the movement of Lu Ange leaving outside, and began to think about what to do next. This marriage is definitely not settled, let's talk about it after the Revolutionary Party and Bai Yuan get in touch, don't fry Lu Ange in the near future.

Early the next morning, Lu Ange went to the Juju Building to buy freshly baked sour plum cakes. Holding a bag of delicious pastries, he went straight to Ai Qian's courtyard without stopping.

Ai Qian woke up very early because she slept too much during the day and couldn't sleep at night. Just as she was about to ask Xiaoxing to help her get up to drink water, she heard Xiaoxing say outside: "Master, you are here."

Ai Qian was taken aback, and immediately listened with wide eyes.

Lu Ange said: "I bought sour plum cake, is Xunmei awake?"

Xiao Xing said: "I'll see if Miss is awake."

Ai Qian immediately fell down, her eyes closed, as if she had fallen asleep.

Xiao Xing went to the bed and took a look, then went out and said, "Miss is still asleep."

Ai Qian felt relieved, that's what a good little star should do.

Lu Ange said, "Then I'll put the snacks here, and I'll see Xunmei later."

Xiao Xing said: "Master, why don't you go in and sit down, Miss slept a lot yesterday, she should wake up soon."

Essie: "..."

Ai Qian could only continue to pretend to be asleep, and then she heard the sound of two people coming in gently. Afterwards, she heard the sound of the stool being gently put down beside the bed. At this time, she hated Xiao Xing to death. Others' little maids were so understanding, but her own maid was always against her.

Feeling that there was someone sitting beside her, Ai Qian did not dare to move, and tried to relax, breathe and sleep naturally.

She just closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep. After a while, she actually felt a little sleepy. I couldn't help being happy in my heart, let's sleep, let's sleep, it won't be so difficult when I fall asleep.

Just then, she felt an itch on her face. When she understood, she realized that it was Lu Ange touching her face.

Damn, what is he doing? Acting for Xiao Xing?

Lu Ange turned her head and whispered to Xiao Xing: "Her face is covered with sweat, and she is uncomfortable sleeping. Go get a basin of hot water."

"Okay." Xiaoxing responded and went out.

Ai Qian fell asleep and remained motionless, but she was calling for Xiao Xing in her heart. Xiaoxing, don't go, Xiaoxing, how can you put me and him alone together? Don't you know that I am the daughter of the enemy who killed his father? Don't you know that he is deliberately dismissing you?

Ai Qian was overwhelmed in her heart, but on the surface she was sleeping peacefully. I have to say that her acting skills have improved a lot. She felt Lu Ange's hands from her forehead to her eyebrows, then from her eyes to her nose, and then from her mouth to her chin.

What is this doing? Looking for the right starting position?

Then she heard Lu Ange sigh, what are you sighing for? Have you finally made up your mind?

Ai Qian was wondering if waking up suddenly at this time would irritate him, but if she didn't wake up, would she never wake up. She felt a blast of hot air on her face, and then something soft covered her lips.

Essie: "..."

"Uncle." Xiaoxing opened the door and came in, "The water is here."

Essie: "..."

Lu Ange soaked the towel and wrung it dry, then gently wiped Ai Qian's face with the hot towel. Ai Qian petrified on the bed, her brain lost the ability to think. Did he secretly kiss himself just now? How could he secretly kiss himself? If you want to kiss you, do so openly.

No... why are you kissing me? !

Lu Ange wiped Ai Qian's face, and then waited for a long time until Ai Qian's back hurt while lying on the bed. Only then did Lu Ange say: "Looks like I have to sleep a little longer. I'll walk for a while and come back at noon."

"Yeah." Xiao Xing said with a smile, "I'll tell Miss Uncle that you've been here, and I also gave Miss her favorite sour plum cake."

Lu Ange smiled, then opened the door and went out.

Xiaoxing came over to move the stool, and Ai Qian on the bed opened her eyes wide without warning.

Xiao Xing was startled, patted his chest and said: "Miss, you're awake, you scared me."

Ai Qian didn't hear what she was saying at all, she just reached out and touched her lips. If Lu Ange showed concern for himself in front of Xiaoxing for the sake of acting, then why did he secretly kiss himself when no one was around? He knows I'm pretending to sleep?

"Miss, why do you look so ugly." Xiao Xing said, "Are you still feeling unwell? I'll call the doctor."

"No need." Ai Qian slowly sat up from the bed and said, "Let me take it easy."

Bai Yuan has been a bit busy recently, because those revolutionaries who came back from abroad found themselves. He said that he wanted to cooperate with him and analyze a bunch of general trends in the world with him. Bai Yuan feels that it is profitable, and his career is likely to go further. In addition, the thirteenth aunt and they still know each other, so it is more convenient for the two sides to talk.

The revolutionaries said that they have funds and talents, but what they lack is the army. They donated funds from afar, and sent some people who came back from abroad with advanced knowledge to help him improve the military system and help him contact foreign arms dealers.

Bai Yuan felt that they would not help him for nothing like this, but it didn't matter, who was Bai Yuan, and who could take advantage of him?

Because there were foreigners there, Bai Yuan called Lu Ange over to listen. After the talk, Bai Yuan asked Lu Ange, "What do you think about this matter? Can this cooperation be done?"

Lu Ange knew that Luanhong and the others had been planning this matter, and it was indeed a good thing, so he nodded, "I think it's okay, I've seen all those weapons, they are authentic German products."

"That's good." Bai Yuan said: "I don't think those foreigners seem to be very honest. You can speak foreign languages, so you usually keep an eye on them."

"En." Lu Ange nodded in agreement.

Bai Yuan said, "Have you seen the good girl?"

"I went early in the morning, and Xunmei was still asleep. I came here after sitting for a while."

"Yeah." Bai Yuan said: "You come with me, let's go see the good girl."

Ai Qian got up, and Xiao Xing said: "My uncle brought sour plum cake, do you want some?"

Ai Qian glanced at the bag, then turned her head and said, "Throw it away."

"Ah?" Xiao Xing said, "Miss, what did you say?"

"I said throw it away, didn't you hear?" Ai Qian waved her hand and said, "I don't like sour plum cake now, so hurry up and throw it away."

Bai Yuan and Lu Ange happened to walk to the gate of the yard, and saw Xiaoxing coming out holding a bag of sour plum cakes.

Bai Yuan said: "What is this?"

"This is sour plum cake." Xiaoxing glanced at Lu Ange in embarrassment and said, "Miss doesn't want to eat it, so she told me to throw it away."
