Familiar voices, familiar footsteps, familiar breaths, familiar gestures. It had been a long time since they had seen each other. Xue Xichen was a little confused. It had been half a year. It was still longer than half a year. It had been so long. She suddenly felt a sense of Illusion... The familiar person in him already had something unfamiliar to her.
Senior brother Xiao Liuyue, we meet again.
Behind Xiao Liuyue, Xue Xichen saw Leng Junyi. Leng Junyi was just like when she first left. Time had never left any vicissitudes on his face. His resolute face and resolute eyes were always so high-spirited. It's incredible.
She missed Leng Junyi. She even began to miss Mu Qingfei a little bit. However, she didn't miss Xiao Liuyue at all.
The reason was hazy. Even she herself couldn't explain it clearly.
"Girl, you're awake. You're okay."
Xiao Liuyue walked to Xue Xichen's bedside. As a doctor, she asked with concern. She pressed her left hand on Xue Xichen's pulse. The gentle smile on her lips showed a hint of alienation.
"Thank you for your kindness, sir."
Xue Xichen behaved respectfully and politely, with the demeanor of a brothel girl who was distant and indifferent. Her expression showed no trace of the wanton arrogance she had shown when she faced Feng Qingge just now.
"My name is Xiao Liuyue."
"It turns out to be Mr. Xiao. The little girl Xue'er."
Since Feng Qingge thought her name was Xue'er, then let's call her Xue'er for a few days.
"Xue'er. What a nice name."
Xiao Liuyue smiled and let go of Xue Xichen's hand. "Miss Xue'er's pulse is stable and her breathing is smooth. There is no serious problem. You can leave at any time."
Upon closer inspection, it feels a bit like chasing away guests.
Xue Xichen's smile remained unchanged. She seemed not to hear the meaning of Xiao Liuyue's words. She bowed to Xiao Liuyue respectfully. "Thank you, Mr. Xiao."
"I'm Leng Junyi."
Leng Junyi nodded towards Xue Xichen as a greeting. He had always been disgusted with brothels. He thought it was just a fox den that killed soldiers' willpower. He himself never went to that kind of place. Naturally, he couldn't say that he had any affection for the women in brothels. I love them so much. I even regard them as vixens.
In particular, Xue Xichen attracted all of Feng Qingge's attention as soon as she showed up, and even made Feng Qingge risk her life to rescue her. This had to make Leng Junyi wary of suspecting Xue Xichen's ulterior motives.
After all, there were countless killers sent by the enemy to assassinate Feng Qingge along the way. During the night cruise on the flower boat, he was attacked by killers again. Leng Junyi could not help but wonder whether Xue Xichen was also a killer sent by the other party.
Xue Xichen bowed slightly. "Young Master Leng is polite."
Xuemei Tong inserted herself between Feng Qingge and Xue Xichen with three steps and two twists. She pulled Xue Xichen's arm affectionately and said enthusiastically: "Sister Xue'er, you have been sleeping for so many days. Your body must be extremely dirty. Come on. Sister will take you out to wash up and change into a new set of clothes."
The seemingly caring words were extremely harsh. Xue Xichen felt that Xue Meitong was simply taking the opportunity to harm her. She snorted coldly in her heart, but remained calm on her face. She declined. "Thank you, madam. Xue'er is not used to strangers. People serve.”
"you."
Xue Meitong was angry. She was about to scold her. She might as well be cold. Feng Qingge held Xue Meitong's arm and forcibly pulled her away from Xue Xichen. He glanced at Xue Meitong and said coldly: "Tongtong .Stop making trouble. Go and tell the waiter to prepare bath water for Xueer to bathe."
"I."
Xuemei Tong opened her mouth to object. When she met Feng Qingge's stern gaze, Xuemei Tong shrank her neck in fear. She glared at Xue Xichen full of resentment, rolled up her sleeves and turned around, leaving in a puff of anger.
Xue Xichen felt secretly happy. Seeing Xue Meitong feeling aggrieved, she felt so happy.
Leng Junyi gave Feng Qingge a strange look. He didn't understand why Feng Qingge helped Xue Xichen humiliate Xue Meitong. Xue Meitong was the wife of Feng Qingge's famous matchmaker. But why did Feng Qingge look at it? Xue Meitong's eyes were as if she were looking at a stranger. However, she was obedient to Xue Xichen and tried to please her in every possible way.
This is not in line with Feng Qingge's character.
Xiao Liuyue looked at Feng Qingge and then at Xue Xichen. A deep and reserved light flashed across his eyes. He said to Leng Junyi: "Jun Yi, let's go out first. It seems... Qingge I still have something to say to Miss Xueer."
"Um."
After Xiao Liuyue and Leng Junyi left, the room returned to its original quietness. Xue Xichen sat on the bed with her knees in her arms. Her beautiful eyes glanced at Feng Qingge. She asked curiously: "Do you have something to say to me?" explain."
Feng Qingge lowered her eyes. Her eyes seemed to be stagnant somewhere without focus. After a long while, she asked without thinking, "Does your ankle still hurt?"
Ha. What a mindless question this is.
Xue Xichen couldn't help but roll her eyes, despising someone's emotional intelligence.
She replied: "It doesn't hurt anymore."
"Then..." Feng Qingge hesitated for a long time and finally asked, "You want to go back to Huamanlou."
"Um."
She wants to go back to Phoenix Tower. If she doesn't go back, Phantom will definitely go crazy.
"Want to redeem yourself?"
"What..." Xue Xichen was surprised.
Seeing Xue Xichen's big round eyes staring at her unblinkingly and her innocent and pure expression, everything seemed to be back to the past. Feng Qingge smiled softly and stroked her long hair. Her hair and rose eyes are as gentle as water, flowing with deep affection. "As long as you are willing, I will redeem your life."
"Then."
"stay with me."
"Do yourself**."
"Why do you think so?" Feng Qingge smiled bitterly. This girl was still always open-minded. How can a girl say such words casually? He sighed helplessly. "Not a slave, but a wife. I'll marry you to be my wife. That's great."
"Don't you already have a wife?"
"I can give you the position of equal wife."
Xue Xichen's eyes widened.
Not a slave, not a concubine, but the position of equal wife. She will return to the palace someday. According to Feng Qingge's wishes...should she be replaced by two queens?
Is Feng Qingge crazy?
"Your wife will agree."
Feng Qingge did not answer Xue Xichen's question directly.
Once, Feng Qingge might have been Xue Xichen's equal wife, but Xue Xichen refused. Feng Qingge knew that Xue Xichen did not care about the position of queen. What she pursued was the only love of two people for the rest of her life. Feelings and bonds.
Feng Qingge's big palm gently caressed the top of Xue Xichen's hair. She looked forward to it and was as gentle as water. "Xue'er, you don't have to rush to answer me. During the time I stay in Baidi City, you can think about it slowly. I will wait for you in this inn. Wait for you until the day I leave Baidi City. I hope to get your affirmative answer."
Xue Xichen stared intently into Feng Qingge's sincere eyes. She couldn't believe it and was afraid to believe it. She had fallen down and been injured again and again. She was afraid. She was terrified. She found that she no longer dared to trust him.
"What if my answer is no."
Feng Qingge just kept stroking her hair gently and told her as gently as water, "I will respect your choice. If you don't come, then I will never appear in front of you again in this life. I’ll pester you again.”
He told her affectionately, "Xueer, I will wait for you. I will wait forever. So, you must come."
You must give me a positive answer so that I can hug you again.
