Chapter 39 Chapter 39

Li Rui pulled him forward, only then did Qin Zhong realize that the alley was not far from the market, he turned his head and gave Li Rui a meaningful look.Li Rui turned his head and ignored his mocking eyes, knowing that his scene was too clumsy, he thought: This was originally intended to make you smile, but it bumped into you a few days ago, so it doesn't matter if you laugh at it.

Li Rui took Qin Zhong to a mansion with twists and turns, opened the door and went in. Qin Zhong followed behind him in confusion. This courtyard is very large, and the furnishings and objects inside are similar to those of Ningguo Mansion. Same, luxurious and refined.

"How is it?" Li Rui raised his eyebrows and asked.

Qin Zhong didn't know what his plan was, his eyes were attracted by the books on the whole wall. "My God! How come there are so many books here?"

He stepped forward a few steps, touched those books fondly, turned his head, looked at Li Rui with a sparkle, and said, "Are these books all yours?" Before he could answer the question, he turned over one by one Open those books, some are brand new, some are very old, some are popular geography, some poems and sentences, some are dictionaries, some are written by some contemporary celebrities, and some are rare collections of famous celebrities...

Qin Zhong was overjoyed. You must know that books are very precious. This is not only reflected in the cultural value connotation of his content, but more importantly, in the price. Even to buy a popular enlightenment book, you need a tael of silver. One tael of silver, if an ordinary family saves money, can spend a month.Qin Zhong is a lover of books, but his family is not rich, how could he have so much money to buy books for him.He can only look at the book and sigh.

Li Rui looked at him, Qin Zhong's face was flushed, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and the corners of his lips raised unconsciously.Li Rui's heart trembled, and his face became gentle and soft. He also came to the bookshelf and said with a smile, "Do you like it?"

"En." Qin Zhong nodded, but he was afraid that he would not show seriousness, so he repeated more forcefully, "I like it, are these prepared for me?"

Li Rui laughed, he found that this person was really rude sometimes, so greedy and justifiable.Qin Zhong was a little embarrassed, blushed, pushed Li Rui, and became angry from embarrassment, and said: "What are you laughing at, it's not for me, why did you bring me here?"

Li Rui smiled and said, "Of course it's to please you. I'm doing okay this time, right?"

"Yeah." Qin Zhong nodded, and said again: "But I can't accept it." His expression was filled with reluctance, his face was full of struggles, and it was obvious that it was difficult for him to say no.

Li Rui was surprised now, and said, "Why is that?" He asked someone about it, and Qin Zhong liked books and ink the most, and after meeting him a few times, he could tell that he was fond of books. Love is unmatched.When they met that time, Qin Zhong was still holding an old book fondly. He looked carefully and found that the book was obviously a torn volume.

"Because of you." Qin Zhong raised his head, raised his small chin, and said viciously: "Nothing to show courteousness to, either rape or steal. I can't be fooled by you!"

"I'm wronged." Li Rui opened his arms, put Qin Zhong between the bookshelf and him, bowed his head and said, "I'm clearly doing it for you, didn't you say that you want to be the number one scholar? How can you do without these things?"

Qin Zhong bent slightly, came out from his arms, and said with a sneer, "You have a good plan, but unfortunately, I won't be fooled!" After he finished speaking, he walked out, Li Rui hurriedly pulled him back, "Don't, Zhong Er , don't worry, I'm not that lowly person, and you have to be willing to do it anyway."

Qin Zhong turned a deaf ear and just walked out. Li Rui caught up with him in two or three steps, and said flatteringly, "Zhong'er, I won't talk about such a fool. If you want to read a book, just come. You take this key. I usually use it You won’t come here, no one will disturb you here, it’s clean and comfortable, it’s a good place to study.” He stuffed the key into Qin Zhong’s hand, looked at Qin Zhong’s angry face, and pinched his cheek, He smiled and said, "You are quite angry. Forget it, what are you fussing about."

Qin Zhong didn't pick up the key, but stopped in his tracks. He said seriously, "Li Rui, who are you?"

He really can't understand this person, he has seen him so many times when he came and went, every time he said these nonsensical words with a playful smile, maybe he is real, but no one is like this, it's fake , that one thing is not false.

After the meeting in the temple, they stalked him, took him to the opera, went to drink, rescued him in Zuixianglou, went to see him secretly that night, and now gave so many books.Qin Zhong's mind was a bit complicated, he thought of Xue Pan, and he was still avoiding Xue Pan until now, he was also an unconscious master.Li Rui saw Qin Zhong's tangled and changing expression, sighed, and said: "Don't think too much, I just want to befriend you as a friend. Of course, friends should treat each other wholeheartedly and sincerely. I'm not a bad person either. Well, I can’t tell you now, but you’ll know in the future, alas, you don’t want the key, I’ll leave it here, and when you come next time, just push the door and come in.” Others, arrange it yourself .

Qin Zhong didn't say a word, he was really reluctant to part with the resources here.Li Rui persisted and said: "Don't be burdened, I'm still waiting for your title on the gold list, so that I can join you and rely on you to do my best."

Qin Zhong glared at him angrily, and Li Rui held Qin Zhong's shoulders.He smiled and said, "Don't worry, I can still eat you, can't you? Look at your cautious look." Qin Zhong squinted at him when he heard the words, Li Rui looked at his little eyes, and thoughtfully said: Of course you have to eat , but you have to wait until you are familiar with it.

The two of them came to the street again, the bustling market was full of wind and green curtains, very lively.

"It's getting late today, I'm going back, you can eat by yourself." Qin Zhong said when Li Rui dragged him into the restaurant.

Li Rui began to pretend to be pitiful, and said bitterly: "You are always so ruthless to me, alas, you are so affectionate and always be annoyed by ruthlessness!"

Qin Zhong glared at him angrily, "Are you finished?"

Li Rui took out his coquettish fan again, shook it, and ambiguously pressed close to Qin Zhong's ear, saying: "Your small appearance is really painful."

"You!" Qin Zhong was angry and wanted to leave.After taking two steps, he stopped again.Li Rui stepped forward amusedly, but saw Qin Zhong's shocked expression.

"What's wrong?" Li Rui asked repeatedly.

Qin Zhong kept silent, and then rushed forward with his head buried, as if there was a gangster chasing him behind him.Li Rui was puzzled, stepped forward and grabbed Qin Zhong's arm, and asked in a comforting tone: "Why are you in such a hurry, what's the matter?"

Qin Zhong slapped him away, he thought bitterly of his attitude towards Li Rui, which was too intimate.I used to be a little scared when I saw him, but now he is casual and fearless, even a little presumptuous, as if he knows that he will not hurt himself, he is becoming more and more unscrupulous, and subconsciously relies on him, so he feels afraid and trepidation.

Li Rui grabbed him again, and people came and went on the street, looking at them strangely.

Qin Zhong hurriedly broke away from Li Rui, bowed his head and said, "I'm fine, I just want to go home quickly." He needed to go home and sort out his thoughts, so he quickly looked up at Li Rui, thinking in his heart, this person is still He refused to reveal his identity, and he didn't know how true or false his words were, whether he could have a deep friendship now.

Seeing his eyeballs rolling, Li Rui knew what he was thinking, and said with a smile, "Then I'll take you back," then tidied up his sleeves, and sighed, "You little brain, you need to grind it hard." Grind it so it doesn't get rusted."

Qin Zhong was thinking elsewhere and didn't hear what he said. Li Rui pulled him and stood at the corner of the street for a while, then a carriage drove up, they got on, and the carriage went to Ningguo Mansion.The air in the carriage was silent, Qin Zhong turned his back to Li Rui silently, lowered his head, and mingled his hands together.As for Li Rui, he just stared at Qin Zhong with deep eyes, motionless, thinking of something, the corners of his mouth curled up, that smile was a little ecstasy and nostalgic.

When the carriage arrived, Li Rui was really reluctant, he knew that Qin Zhong would not be leaving the mansion for the time being, did he have a good excuse to come to the Ningguo mansion, could he bear it for a few days.Li Rui frowned. He was definitely not the kind of person who wronged him. He had to find a way to invite him out to play openly.

Qin Zhong got out of the carriage and went in without looking back. Li Rui on the carriage was still staring at his back, wishing he could catch up and hide in his pocket.
