Cold? Hard? Earthy smell? She doesn't care. Because he who once fell here loved her deeply.
The raindrops were getting bigger and denser. Xiao Juan, who was watching not far away, had to run to the cave entrance, hide in a corner where she couldn't see, and silently watch her every move. There was nothing better than watching helplessly.
It is even more uncomfortable to see the flowers you cherish being damaged by wind and rain in front of you.
He couldn't do anything except follow silently. He couldn't keep the person she liked for her, because he couldn't beat him. He couldn't stop God from blowing strong winds and raining heavily, because he couldn't reach him...
The sound of rain became more and more noisy, but he vaguely heard the sad but beautiful singing mixed with it.
"She, who lost her love, felt like her heart was being pricked by needles, and her body was so helpless that she wanted to die. The rain kept stopping, and there was sand in her eyes, deceiving herself that she no longer had any worries..."
She hugged the ground in front of her and fell asleep unconsciously. During this period, she woke up again, only to find that her cold and trembling body seemed to be wrapped in something warm. The corners of her bitter mouth raised slightly, at least at that moment
In the dream, there was still his warm embrace.
"One, two, three, three, three, two, two, two..."
Xiao Juan, who had taken off only her underwear and shivered under a pile of leaves, could only hear her mumbling and counting numbers all night long.
"Xiao Jun, Xiao Jun! Wake up! Don't scare me. How are you?" Gong Yueyue woke up early in the morning and found that she was covered with a pile of clothes and a quilt was lying in the far corner.
The man was covered with scattered dead leaves. She was almost frightened to death. After screaming, the man did not move at all. She shivered and moved over, and then she saw Xiao Juan's face clearly.
But Xiao Juan was already feeling hot all over and was so dizzy that he vaguely heard someone calling him. He opened his eyes with difficulty and responded to her in a hoarse voice: "I'm fine."
She quickly brought his clothes to help him put them on, but he insisted on doing it by himself. The fierce high fever made his whole body's bones and muscles throb, and it took all his strength to even lift an arm.
.
Gong Yueyue, who was standing at the entrance of the cave and avoiding it, couldn't bear it anymore. She ran back and grabbed his clothes, and helped him put them on quickly. "How long has this been, why are you trying to avoid any suspicion? Do you still want to die?"
"
"Don't blush! Don't be shy!" Seeing his face darken rapidly, she couldn't hold it any longer. This man was shy hundreds of times a day. How could he leave a way for a woman like her to survive? "Also,
Who asked you to follow me?"
He leaned against the stone wall, his face that was originally full of energy was now filled with anger. After being silent for a long time, he softly uttered: "I'm worried."
Her cold heart felt like a shot in the arm. There were still people in this world who were worried about her. Seeing him lowering his head again as if he had done something wrong, she fastened the belt around his waist and said seriously: "I
I'll cheer up and won't let you worry about me anymore... We have to go down the mountain quickly and find a doctor for you. Can you go? I'll help you."
"Yes." He hesitated for a moment, but accepted her support.
The way down the mountain was not long, but he was already very satisfied. Her body felt a little cold, and when she accidentally touched him, it made his skin that was about to burst with heat feel much better.
Zhao Changyuan was the first person to report to the prefect's Yamen. However, he did not show up, but found a corner to hide. She was angry at him without her for a month, biting his ears, digging into his clothes...he was everywhere
Unhappy. He planned in his mind that when his wife appeared, he would kidnap her immediately without saying a word.
But when it was Yingmao hour, Pan Zhuqing and Du Ruotong had already walked into the Yamen one after another, but the beautiful figure he was waiting for never appeared. Could it be that she knew that he was here to block her?
After waiting for a long time as expected, he saw Du Ruotong walking out of the Yamen as if he was going somewhere to run an errand. He immediately ran up to her and stopped her: "Ruotong..."
When Du Ruotong saw him, he couldn't even close his mouth: "Jealous! Where are you going? Do you know that Yueyue thinks you don't want her anymore?"
He felt a little distressed and asked hurriedly: "Where is she now?"
Du Ruotong was stunned and answered hesitantly: "She...she's gone."
"Gone? What do you mean?" His voice suddenly rose, causing passers-by to look askance.
Du Ruotong waved his hand to calm him down: "Well, I live with her now. But she didn't come back last night, and I don't know where she went. Didn't I come over to tell Mr. Pan that I was about to go out to look for her?
"
"I'll go look for her too, let's look for her separately." After saying that, he turned around and left.
"General Zhao!" Pan Zhuqing's voice sounded behind him.
Du Ruotong saw that they seemed to have something to say, so he took the lead to say goodbye and leave.
"General, you are well." Pan Zhuqing greeted him with a gentle smile, like a good friend he had not seen for a long time.
Zhao Changyuan is not as sophisticated as him, but he also knows etiquette: "Master Pan, my wife has asked you to worry about it."
"It's serious if you say that..." Pan Zhuqing responded lightly, and suddenly asked in surprise: "Madam? Could it be..."
Zhao Changyuan was a little surprised by his sudden performance: "Master Pan, do you have something to say?"
He denied it mysteriously: "Oh, no...it's nothing."
When Zhao Changyuan saw that he had a strange look on his face and was hesitant in speaking, he couldn't help but feel doubtful in his heart: "If you have something to say, you might as well say it directly."
"Forget it. I have something else to do, so I'll go ahead." After saying that, he turned around and started to leave.
Zhao Changyuan took two steps forward and stopped him: "Master Pan, do you know where my wife has gone?"
Pan Zhuqing looked at him thoughtfully, then lowered his head in contemplation: "General, you talk about a woman, who are you talking about?"
"Who else could it be? Of course it's Gong Yueyue." Zhao Changyuan was about to be offended by him.
He pretended to make a mistake: "But she said you had separated, and..." At this point, he deliberately stopped again, as if it was really hard to say anything.
Zhao Changyuan raised his eyebrows and repeated: "And?"
He smiled and said as if he was relieved: "It's just me being a villain, they should be fine."
Zhao Changyuan was so excited by his unbelievable words that he couldn't stop there: "Mr. Pan, you know that I care about everything about my wife, so you'd better speak clearly.
Let’s go again.”
Pan Zhuqing was already anxious when he saw the other party, but he had a calm expression, as if he was telling a story that had nothing to do with either of them: "It's really nothing, it's just that Yue Yue has a friend around her recently. I think
They were very close, but you never showed up, so you mistakenly thought that they were a couple. Now it seems that I was overthinking it." At this point, he deliberately paused to let the other party digest it.
Then: "By the way, I heard from Ruotong that the two of them didn't come home last night, so they should be together. You don't have to worry, that young man is very good at it and will definitely protect her."
Zhao Changyuan's face instantly became bloodless. His reason kept beating him, asking him to trust his wife. However, Gong Yueyue was his Achilles' heel. Whenever she was involved, his reason would go bankrupt and his emotional intelligence would be reduced to
Zero. "Where...may they go?" But he still tried hard to control his emotions.
Pan Zhuqing was very satisfied with the other party's current reaction, but his face was still calm: "I don't know about that. But you can go to where they live and wait. Maybe they will go back when they are done with their work."
Zhao Changyuan's eyes dimmed: "Where do they live?"
The rain last night made the weather even colder. She had no food in her belly and her clothes were thin, so she had to rub her arms to keep warm.
Before she could walk out of the alley, she suddenly felt a strong pressure coming from behind her. Before she could react, someone hugged her tightly from behind.
Are you still dreaming, Gong Yueyue? It's broad daylight now, can you wake up? She feels anxious about her dementia regardless of occasion and time.
Until the person behind her put his face against her ear and whispered: "I miss you so much." The familiar breath blew on her face, was breathed into her lungs, and passed into her heart...
You can feel the warmth and touch of his arms through your clothes, as well as his frantic heartbeat, and your body is trembling slightly with excitement. This is not an hallucination! How could there be such a real hallucination?
One minute, let her be selfish for one minute. She has never cherished his hug, never felt his tenderness. Now, she will enjoy this minute as a lifetime.
Zhao Changyuan didn't speak anymore, he just held her quietly, letting his deep-seated longing be healed at this moment.
The two of them stood close together like this for nearly ten minutes. No one was willing to speak to interrupt the tenderness at this moment.
Until another person suddenly appeared at the entrance of the alley. This person's face and figure instantly stung Zhao Changyuan's eyes.
"Why did you come out? Why didn't you go back and lie down?" Gong Yueyue asked Xiao Juan in surprise.
He walked up to her tremblingly and handed over a small cloth bag: "You didn't bring any money." She took it casually, and he turned around and left tremblingly.
She felt the warmth behind her disappear in an instant. She felt that she did not have the courage to look at Zhao Changyuan again, so she started to leave without looking back.
Unexpectedly, the person behind him grabbed her and pulled her over to face him.
She didn't dare to look up at his face, for fear that she might not be able to hold back her tears, so she just stared straight at his chest that was rising and falling violently.
He suddenly lifted her chin and turned her face towards him: "Who is he? What is your relationship?"
There was only this face in her eyes that reminded her of a lunatic. She could not hear clearly what he was saying. She just stared at his sullen expression without saying a word.
"I'm asking you, who is that boy? Why are you always together?" His suppressed doubts and uneasiness were instantly ignited. He no longer wanted to listen to other people's words and doubt his wife easily. So when he saw her, he carefully supported her
Looking at that man, the moment he got out of the carriage, even though his blood flowed backwards, he suppressed his anger. He felt that nothing was as important as the tenderness of this moment of reunion.
But what the hell was going on with the naked jealousy and sadness in that man's eyes when he stood in front of them?
"Answer me!" he growled softly.
"Haha." She shook off his hand and smiled coldly. "What do you think, General Zhao?" She didn't even question him about the matter with the woman, but he actually poured a bucket of dirty water on her. That can't be done.
I blame her for making things look ugly. (To be continued)
