He walked over and hugged Ye Tianxin tightly.
“Tianxin, What’s wrong? Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”
His warm embrace was a source of comfort and safety for Ye Tianxin. She really yearned for the embrace and wanted to stay like this regardless of anything.
Unfortunately, she couldn’t.
She could not let her affection run wild.
She had to pay off her blood feud.
“Elder Brother Li, you woke up very early today.”
Ye Tianxin lowered her head, placing Jin’s sketch into a book sideways.
“My biological clock hasn’t really changed. That’s why.”
Ye Tianxin had just cried, and her eyes were slightly red and swollen. Upon seeing that, Li Qingcang’s heart could not help but ache.
Li Qingcang didn’t know about Ye Tianxin’s past life, so he blamed Qie Yiyan for her abnormal behavior.
If Qie Yiyan did not take Ye Tianxin to a deserted island to train and become a soldier, she wouldn’t have these nightmares.
“Tianxin, don’t be afraid. Qie Yiyan will not dare to mess up with you anymore. I will protect you and guard you.”
Li Qingcang’s voice rang in Ye Tianxin’s ears.
His voice was gentle and soothing.
“Elder Brother Li, I want to learn some self-defense techniques.”
“Are you sure?” Li Qingcang asked. “It can be quite challenging. I’m worried if you can actually withstand it.”
Ye Tianxin nodded. “Yes.”
“Alright, I’ll teach you. I have so much time in my hands anyway. Might be a good distraction. I’ll teach you some simple self-defense techniques.”
Since a beautiful young lady would always come across unexpected troubles, it’s always good for her to know some self-defense skills to protect herself. No matter how capable Li Qingcang was, he could not be by Ye Tianxin’s side 24 hours a day.
“That’s great!”
Ye Tianxin’s eyes lit up, and she smiled at Li Qingcang.
“Go wash your face and brush your teeth. I’ll take you to breakfast.”
Li Qingcang made breakfast.
Actually, he used to be a young master who was never involved with housework.
However, when he arrived at the army, he was also forced to be an all-rounder. Therefore, it was not difficult for him to cook or do household chores.
“Wow, Elder Brother Li, you’re amazing!”
There was a small wooden table under the wisteria tree, basking in the morning sun. On the table was the breakfast that Li Qingcang had prepared meticulously. There was porridge with preserved pickle shreds, tasty pork buns, and a plate of cold bamboo shoots.
The bamboo shoots were cut thinly, and the length and size were evenly distributed. There were some red and yellow chili flakes, making it look appetizing.
“Elder Brother Li, I can’t believe you sliced these! They’re even! You got skills!”
Li Qingcang chuckled and said, “I’ve had practice.”
Li Qingcang was the kind of person who would try his best in whatever he had to do. He always set high standards for himself since he was young.
Even if it was just cutting simple bamboo shoots, he had to cut them perfectly. He never settled for anything less.
There was a tap on the door.
Jing Zhichen stood at the door. Behind him was Yan Jun, who followed with embarrassment.
When Li Qingcang opened the door and looked at Jing Zhichen, who was standing at the door, his expression was still calm. However, as his gaze landed on Yan Jun, his expression instantly darkened.
“Boss Li, I brought breakfast.”
When Jing Zhichen opened the door and walked in, Ye Tianxin ran back to the bookstore in shock.
“What did I do? Why did Ye Tianxin run away when she saw me?”
Jing Zhichen was confused.
Li Qingcang had no idea why Ye Tianxin ran to the bookstore either.
Five minutes later, Ye Tianxin walked out of the bookstore.
Her hair was tied in a ponytail, and she was wearing a gauze dress.
