Half an hour later, after a long thundering sky, water finally poured down.
The wind howled, the heavy rain fell thousands of miles away, the sky completely fell, and thunder followed one after another, roaring into the world.
Xia Zhaoyi opened her eyes in the heavy rain, her bright eyes gradually focused and looked out the window.
The rain-proof and thickened screen curtains roared with the roar of thunder, and the sky and the earth were covered with a thin layer of blurred fog. It was obviously noisy, but it seemed to be deep and peaceful.
The tea on the table was cold, so she poured a cup and took it to the window to drink slowly.
Slender fingers held the bottom of the cup, occasionally turning it gently.
There was a sudden knock on the door, Xia Zhaoyi turned her head, and a deep and soft voice sounded: "Ali?"
"Come in, I'm already up." Xia Zhaoyi said.
Shen Lie opened the door and came in. He looked up and saw that she was still wearing pajamas. He looked away and said, "You haven't changed yet."
Xia Zhaoyi smiled: "Isn't this also clothes? There are so many things to pay attention to."
"……Um."
Xia Zhaoyi returned to the table and poured tea. The tea was mellow and the cup was full in an instant. He raised his eyes and looked at Shen Lie.
Judging from his appearance, he is in good spirits and his clothes are good-looking. He is dressed in Canglang colored clothes, with a light moon white cloud pattern belt tied around his waist. His hair is not tied up, and is simply twisted into a ponytail with a frost-free hairband, which makes him look relaxed and elegant. He has a proud and chivalrous spirit, but also seems to have a calm and indifferent fairy spirit.
Shen Lie reached out to touch the teapot she put down. His hands were cold and he frowned and said, "Don't drink it yet. I'll have someone bring warm water over immediately."
Dai Yu just arrived at the door and heard the words: "Master, I'll go right away."
He turned and ran away.
The door was open, heavy rain was pouring outside the eaves, and a cold wind came from time to time. Shen Lie went over and wanted to close the door, but felt it was inappropriate.
However, the girl's bare hand pressed the door, and it closed with a soft "pop" sound.
"Are you cold?" Xia Zhaoyi raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes dark and bright, clear and flawless.
Shen Lie smiled lightly: "No, I'm afraid you'll be cold."
"Then open it." Xia Zhaoyi raised her hand to open the door.
"No need, just lock it up." Shen Lie went to stop him.
The palm of his hand accidentally pressed the back of her hand, and the warmth seemed to come from his hot palm. The corners of Xia Zhaoyi's lips raised slightly, and she quickly realized it. She took off her hand lightly and turned around and said : "The rain is so heavy."
Pretending to be calm, he lowered his head and sipped the tea cup, and walked back to the window with light steps.
Shen Lie looked at the neatly folded clothes on the soft couch. Xu Yinjun had specially sent someone to deliver them this morning when he heard that she was sleeping behind Qingyue Pavilion.
Maybe she didn't know what she preferred today, so Xu Yinjun chose three sets in total, with different styles and styles.
Shen Lie went over and looked at it, and picked up a light emerald-colored coat, Qiyun gauze, thin but solid, light and soft, embroidered with blue and green Linghua water patterns, and every Linghua water pattern was embroidered with Embroidered with hibiscus flowers in elegant dark colors.
The clothes beside her ears moved slightly, Xia Zhaoyi turned her head, and Shen Lie had already put the shirt on her body.
"It will be cold." Shen Lie said in a low voice.
Xia Zhaoyi curled her lips and smiled, holding the tea cup and looking back outside.
Through the window, the field of view is greatly reduced. It is better to listen than to see.
Spring branches knock on the window, leaves are flying, and everything has its sound.
"When you left this morning, you told them to cover the greenhouse, but you already expected this thunderstorm." Shen Lie said.
Xia Zhaoyi's eyes narrowed slightly: "I hope the Chen Family Ancestral Hall and the Chen Family will be leveled by now."
"What's your schedule after the rain stops?" Shen Lie looked sideways at her.
"And you?"
Shen Lie's eyebrows were gentle: "Didn't we agree last night that I would call all the township chiefs in Hengxiang today to ask if there are any strange residents like the Chen family?"
"Then, okay, then I'll go..." Xia Zhaoyi twirled his cup lightly, but didn't say anything else for a long time.
Shen Lie waited patiently, and Xia Zhaoyi suddenly smiled: "I haven't thought about it for a moment, should I go to Lianfeng Academy to see Mr. Yang, the Yamen, or go to the Yamen to find Shen Xu, or go out of the city to the Chen Family Ancestral Hall."
"The Chen family ancestral hall can be handed over to me as well."
Xia Zhaoyi thought for a moment and raised his eyes: "The nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses in Qiuyan Village are waiting for you."
"Pingyue Feng and Xu Li are here."
"Shen Lie," Xia Zhaoyi said with a serious expression, "Such a large number of troops cannot be assembled overnight. Are you prepared?"
Shen Lie knew what she was going to ask, his dark eyes darkened, and he looked at her intently: "Yeah."
"You...want to compete in the world?"
"If I really want to take over the world, what will you think?"
Xia Zhaoyi stared intently, as if she wanted to look into his eyes.
His eyes were deep, quiet, and without waves, except for her in the bright pupils.
Shen Lie's face was calm, but his heart was not calm. He suddenly felt a little nervous and didn't know what she was going to say.
Whether he wants to fight for the world or not, he is still meaningless.
The bustle of the world, whether attending a feast or taking the stage in spring, had nothing to do with him, but he urgently wanted to know what she thought.
The girl's clear black and white eyes are bright and clear, clear and clear, and at the same time as calm as water.
When Shen Lie was about to speak to break the silence, Xia Zhaoyi said: "Shen Lie, it is easy to seize the world, but difficult to defend it."
She stretched out her hand: "Government, people's livelihood, morality, culture, military system, foreign enemies, civil strife..."
"Ah Li," Shen Lie suddenly wrapped her hand with his big palm and stopped her gesture, "If I really go to take over the world, what do you think?"
Touched by him again, the burning warmth in his hands instantly surged.
His hands were very hot, and for her with cold fingers, they were scalding hot.
Xia Zhaoyi met his deep gaze and curled her lips: "I will plan the world for you, what do you think?"
Shen Lie was stunned for a moment, and the depths of his eyes suddenly lit up, as if a ball of flame was burning.
The skylight outside the house became darker and darker, his handsome outline became more profound, and his skin color became whiter due to the dark light.
There was a knock on the door suddenly. Xia Zhaoyi withdrew his hand and looked at it: "The door is not locked."
Two maids followed Dai Yu. On the tray in Dai Yu's hand were a pot of hot tea and a cup of tonic soup.
The two maids each carried a basin of hot water.
"Brother Dai." Xia Zhaoyi called.
Dai Yu said happily: "Ah Li, you slept well."
"Um."
Even if the thunderstorm frightened me, I still slept soundly.
"You are talking about something," Dai Yu said sheepishly, "Did I interrupt you?"
"No interruption." Xia Zhaoyi smiled and shook his head.
"Ah Li, wash up and change clothes first," Shen Lie said, "Don't catch a cold."
Xia Zhaoyi turned to look at him and smiled: "Okay."
After coming out of the house, the maid closed the door behind her and left with Shen Lie.
The wind and rain were still howling outside the eaves, and Dai Yu hid his smile and whispered: "Hey, young master, you and Ah Li..."
A man and a woman were alone in the same room. When Dai Yu just opened the door and entered, the atmosphere in the room suddenly made him excited.
Shen Lie looked down at the palm of his hand, thinking about her eyes and words just now, he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips, and raised a smile, relaxed and free.
"Master?"
Shen Lie's slender and vigorous fingers tightened slightly: "Let's go."
"Where to go?"
"Cook."
Dai Yu watched his tall and slender inverted triangle back leave: "...still so active in cooking."
