And the moon and the stars tonight. And Gu Linxi." However, this time she was not sitting alone in the open space in front of the door. After what happened last night, Gu Linxi had already sensed that something discordant would happen even in this seemingly peaceful little village. It was more appropriate for her not to go out easily. If she met him again, she didn't know if she would be lucky this time.

Li TienNiu, who was sitting next to Gu Linxi, looked up at the starry sky. She didn't have much of a feeling in her heart. He knew what lay behind this starry sky. Those people were watching them from the sky, spying on their every move. However, this place was just perfect for isolating itself from the onlookers, so this was the most suitable place for Gu Linxi to live. This was one of the reasons why Gu Linxi had to stay here.

"I like this place, but I don't want to stay here." Gu Linxi suddenly said to Li TienNiu as she felt gusts of cool wind. In her heart, she always felt that something had gone awry, and that a feeling of unease had followed her.

Staying in this place was like running away from something, and she didn't like it.

Gu Linxi's words were spoken very earnestly. Even without looking at her face, Li TienNiu could tell that she was extremely serious when she said these words. However, he still didn't want to give up on her own thoughts. Although Gu Linxi might not be happy staying here, it was still better than being in pain. In life, love was not the only thing that existed. Family love and friendship were also extremely precious.

He could be Gu Jingxi's family and friend, so he didn't have love, but he could also live a good life.

Li Tieniu was as stubborn as before. He still felt that Gu Linxi was only staying in this place for a short period of time. Once he stayed in this place for a long time, he would finally be able to fall in love with this place. How could this place, where men worked and knitted, be unattractive when it was far away from all the hassle?

As if he hadn't heard Gu Linxi's words, Li TienNiu continued to admire the moonlight. The recent weather was getting hotter and hotter, and summer was approaching. During the night, the wind was very comfortable. The two of them did not say another word as they continued to think about their own matters.

The shadows of the trees fluttered about. It wasn't until it was a bit late in the night that the two of them returned to their respective beds. In the middle of the night, Gu Linxi fell into a deep slumber and once again dreamt of her past. She wanted to grasp onto that past, but it was like quicksand that was constantly passing by. When she woke up the next morning, Gu Linxi had also somewhat forgotten what she had been dreaming about. She only touched her own face, feeling the traces of tears.

Perhaps it was because he had dreamt of something bad, Gu Linxi thought, and was somewhat unwilling to speak. When she woke up, it was a little early. Gu Linxi had already seen yesterday how Li TienNiu prepared breakfast and knew that he had troubled Li TienNiu for a long time. Thus, she should take advantage of this time to do something.

Based on yesterday's memories, when they prepared breakfast, Gu Linxi made some noises in the kitchen on the first floor. The originally light asleep Li TienNiu woke up very quickly. When he opened his eyes, he looked at the sky outside the window and guessed what time it was. The nightmare that Gu Linxi had for a long time last night was also heard by him when he was in the room next door. However, Li TienNiu did not go to see him.

After all, the nightmares were all about Jiang Jiayi. Even if he went there, it would be useless. He heard Gu Linxi calling Jiang Jiayi's name, and his voice was filled with pain. It was also true that Jiang Jiayi didn't bring her many happy memories. There were often quite a few painful memories.

He had more or less witnessed the matter of Gu Linxi and Jiang Jiayi, and Li TienNiu had some inside information as well. He felt that it wasn't worth it for Gu Linxi, but he also knew that this was something that couldn't be helped. This was another reason why he wanted to keep Gu Lingxi here. As long as he didn't come into contact with Jiang Jiayi, Gu Linxi wouldn't be harmed in the slightest because of him. Although he felt like he was escaping, it was indeed a good idea.

After putting on his clothes, Li TienNiu was worried that Gu Lingxi would burn down her own kitchen, so she quickly put them on and went downstairs. The houses they lived in were usually on the second floor. As they slowly walked down the wooden stairs, they saw that Gu Linxi had already cooked the rice. She really did look quite decent, and even Li TienNiu was a bit surprised.

"Did I wake you?" Gu Linxi asked.

Li TienNiu shook his head. It was getting late, and it couldn't be said that Gu Linxi had woken him up.

"Can you do it yourself?" Li TienNiu asked, but when he saw Gu Linxi nod her head, he went to wash up.

This was the first time Gu Linxi had been in this state, and some of them weren't very proficient in it. Based on what Li TienNiu had said yesterday, Gu Linxi also felt that she was somewhat similar. This was her first time doing something like this, and she always felt as if it was a bit new. Gu Linxi felt that she still had a little bit of talent left.

While Gu Linxi was preparing breakfast for her and Li TienNiu, she heard something happening at the doorway. Although there wasn't any problem of communicating through language here, the speaker was rather quick. Gu Linxi only heard what seemed to be a quarrel and didn't hear anything else.

Gu Linxi had been in this place for such a long time, but this was the first time she had heard of such a commotion. Although she didn't have the intention to gossip, Gu Linxi still had a suitable amount of curiosity, so she couldn't help but walk out the door to see what was going on.

In front of Li Tieniu's house, a woman was pointing at him with her hands on her hips as she loudly spoke. Gu Yingxi was a little out of the way and didn't quite understand why Li TienNiu was so angry.

"Li TienNiu, what right do you have to hit our boss?" The short-sleeved woman spoke with a somewhat savage and annoyed tone towards Li Tieniu. Gu Linxi looked at Li TienNiu with some suspicion. Li TienNiu hit someone? How come she didn't know that Li TienNiu would beat him up? Was it just a short time out yesterday afternoon?

Li Tieniu was not angry at all. There were few people around this early in the morning because of this woman's loud voice. Now, however, there were a few people surrounding his to watch the commotion. They were both from the same village, so they naturally knew each other. Just like Li Tieniu also knew that this woman was Zhang Ermou's daughter-in-law. Yesterday, he went out for a while and then directly put on a Second Donkey's gunny sack.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Ermou actually had the face to tell his wife that he beat her up. But just like how he would not say why he beat Zhang Ermou, Zhang Ermou would not go around saying that it was him who put him in the gunny sack, because Zhang Ermou was guilty of being a thief. Zhang Ermou was in the wrong when it came to this matter. He had done it for Gu Jingxi's sake, so he didn't explain the matter to him.

However, Zhang Ermou's wife didn't know about this. Hearing Zhang Ermou blurting out that it was Li TienNiu who beat him up, she immediately rushed over in anger.
