When Han Chi came out, Li Zhao and Li Mi were still there.
Han Chi gritted his teeth.
He quietly glanced at Li Mi.
Li Zhao also looked at his sister, “Mi ‘er, go to Mother’s side.”
“…” When Li Mi heard this, her beautiful eyes widened slightly.
She glared at her brother angrily, snorted, and left.
Li Zhao invited Han Chi to the private room he had just opened.
“Please.”
“Please.”
The two of them were a head apart, but Han Chi did not feel awkward walking beside Li Zhao. His demeanor was even calmer than Li Zhao’s.
He had seen too much of the ways of the world and suffered too much. He was too good at putting on a mask on himself.
Even though he was a little nervous, he pretended that nothing had happened.
They entered the private room.
Tea and snacks were already prepared.
The attendant immediately poured tea for Han Chi.
“Today, 1 feel like I’ve hit it off with Brother Han. 1’11 offer you this cup of tea.”
Han Chi’s heart turned cold.
It wasn’t that he felt like an old friend at first sight. The first person the young prince saw was clearly his sister, Ah-Xiu.
Don’t think that he didn’t know.
“Brother Li is too polite. Please, Brother Li.”
Li Zhao did not know how to deal with people. After all, he was the son of a prince. He had been respected since he was young, so he did not need to curry favor with others.
Han Chi did not want to get too close to Li Zhao because he was very busy. He was busy studying and practicing martial arts. He was busy with his family and did not have time to make friends.
Hence, the atmosphere turned cold.
The two of them drank tea in tense silence.
Li Zhao asked Han Chi to eat some snacks, and Han Chi started eating after thanking him.
The desserts in this restaurant tasted pretty good, so he ate one after another.
Li Zhao couldn’t help but think, “Is it really that delicious?”
He also took a piece to try. In truth, the taste was just so-so. It was not particularly delicious.
On the other hand, Han Chi was eating happily.
To Han Chi, it was good to have food, especially since he had been hungry before. He was never picky about food.
Seeing that Li Zhao was eating in small bites, he asked Li Zhao, “Have you never been hungry before?”
Li Zhao nodded.
Indeed, he had never been hungry.
He had been respected since he was young, and he was good at everything.
“No wonder. If you go hungry for one or two meals, these pastries will taste very delicious. If you try not eating a grain of rice for three to five days and just drink water, you will understand that all the food in the world that can be swallowed is delicious.”
Li Zhao did not dare to imagine what that life would be like.
However, he knew that it would not be easy.
“Have you experienced it before?”
“Yes, I have.” Han Chi said as he poured tea for Li Zhao.
“In my opinion, you shouldn’t be friends with me because we’re from two completely different worlds. It’s not that 1 feel inferior, but I’m afraid that my poor background will ruin your reputation.”
“You’re a noble, and what about me? If I hadn’t met Mother, I might have been that kind of lowly mud.”
Li Zhao thought about Han Chi’s words seriously, “I don’t mind. Shouldn’t friends be sincere?”
“Besides, how many people in this world are more noble than me? However, the friends 1 want to make are very few. To be honest, I don’t have any friends. They approach me because they want me to bring them benefits. Even if they are respectful, they have ulterior motives.”
These were Li Zhao’s sincere words.
With his status, it was not easy to find a true friend.
How many people approached him sincerely?
Every one of them was careful, and he had never thought of opening his heart to them.
Han Chi was the first.
Perhaps it was because he was different…
After all, he was the first person who dared to glare at him.
Han Chi looked at Li Zhao for a moment and said lightly, “Oh, 1 understand.”
Li Zhao was very surprised.
Just like that?
Nothing else to say?
Han Chi stood up, “It’s settled then. Let’s meet another day.”
Li Zhao’s eyes lit up, “You’re leaving?”
“Yes, I’m going to accompany my younger brothers and sisters.” Han Chi said seriously.
Li Zhao wanted to protest by saying that they had only chatted for a little while and had yet to understand each other’s temperament and preferences.
“There’s still a long way to go,” Han Chi patted Li Zhao’s shoulder like a small adult. “When my house is ready and tidied, I’ll invite you to my house.”
“Deal.”
“Deal.”
When Han Chi returned to the private room, he learned that the Gong Prince’s consort had sent someone to invite Sun Xiu and the others over to chat with the princess, Li Mi. He Cheng also followed.
Han Chi thought for a moment and decided to go over too. While picking them up, he could also chat with Li Zhao.
Anyway, he planned to have fun today.
When he arrived, Li Zhao happened to come out of another private room.
The two of them looked at each other and laughed.
“Let’s find a place to spar?” Han Chi asked.
“What kind of person if not merciful?”
Han Chi looked at Li Zhao. He knew that he might not win against Li Zhao.
However, he believed that Li Zhao would prefer him to go all out, even if he lost.
“Naturally.”
The two of them went downstairs to the courtyard.
He first pretended to be humble and then made his move.
Although it was a spar, Han Chi did give it his all.
At first, Li Zhao showed mercy, but he soon learned that although Han Chi’s martial arts foundation was weak, he was definitely a tough nut to crack.
Thus, he did not show mercy either.
When Han Dacheng and the others returned from their outing, they heard that Han Chi and the Gong Prince’s son were fighting in the backyard. They were so scared that they almost wet their pants.
They were even more flustered.
Heng Yi and Bai Cha watched the two people fighting in the courtyard from a private room on the second floor.
Compared to Li Zhao, Han Chi was not particular about his moves at all. His goal was to win.
He was quick, accurate, and ruthless.
Li Zhao was skilled in martial arts, and it was difficult for him to dodge.
“Ali-Chi has improved a lot.” Bai Cha praised.
“He should have a friend of his own,” Heng Yi cared more about this.
Bai Cha nodded.
Then he laughed.
In another private room, the Gong Prince’s consort was very kind to Sun Xiu, Sun Yi, Sun Ke, and He Cheng.
Li Mi quickly got close to Sun Xiu and the others.
Especially when it came to the topic of cats.
“I also have two cats at home.”
The two cats traveled with them from Xishan Village to Puyi County and then to Chenzhou City.
They did not feel uncomfortable sharing this information at all.
After all, it was rare to see a cat so toot and chubby.
“Then I’ll go to your house to take a look another day. Do you want to come to my house to play? My cats are not very cute, but they are so pitiful.” Li Mi’s heart was kind.
She was also very emotional.
Sun Xiu, Sun Yi, and Sun Ke already wanted to go to the palace to see Li Mi’s cats and dogs, but as girls, they were more reserved.
And with the addition to the etiquette lessons they were taught, they did not act rashly.
Everything was lovely and peaceful until they heard the sounds of fighting coming from outside.
A servant girl cried out in alarm, “The prince is fighting with the young master of the Heng family!”
The Gong Prince’s consort’s expression didn’t change at all.
Li Mi fumed, “What fight? It’s a spar.”
If it was a real fight, her brother’s secret guards would have attacked long ago. Why would they wait until now?
However, she was extremely curious about how the young master of the Heng family dared to fight her brother.
She did not know if he was truly fighting with all he had or just pretending…
Sun Xiu, Sun Yi, and Sun Ke, on the other hand, panicked when they heard this.
However, once they heard Li Mi’s words and saw the Gong Prince’s consort’s calm expression, they felt slightly relieved.
Li Mi was already standing at the window.
The three sisters hurriedly followed, and He Cheng also followed.
In the courtyard downstairs, Han Chi’s moves were fierce, and Li Zhao almost suffered a few times.
Li Mi covered her lips and chuckled, her eyes also shining with mirth and shock…
