The wine glass raised to her mouth remained untouched for a long time. Bai Qige stared at Ning Xizui for a long time, but there was no trace of any strange color in those eyes that were as beautiful as hallucinations. In the end, she could only raise her head to drink, imitating his example.
The clouds are clear and the wind is gentle.
"Master Ning is just joking."
"Ah, I'm sorry. It was just a whim." Ning Xizui shook her head repeatedly to apologize, but the smile on her face did not change at all, "But I really envy the general. There can be such a beautiful woman in the world of mortals. What more can I ask for?"
"There are countless beauties in the world, but I am just the least attractive one."
Thinking of everything he had with Yi Chenjing, and remembering that he always remembered Princess Hongxiao, his mood that had just improved fell back to the original point, and even his tone continued to be lonely. Ning Xizui could hear the self-mockery in Bai Qige's words.
, tilted the jug to fill Bai Qige's cup, and drank a glass of it happily: "Since you are not happy, there is no harm in drinking some wine. It is not convenient for Ning to inquire about the affairs between Miss Bai and the general, and all he can do is accompany his confidant.
Let’s drink a glass of wine together to relieve our sorrows. I hope that this glass of wine will make Miss Bai forget her worries and be happy for a while.”
Bai Qige picked up the wine glass and knocked it lightly, with a faint smile as she lowered her head.
Ning Xizui and Yi Chenjing have completely different personalities. One is aloof and cautious, cold on the outside and hot on the inside, while the other is gentle, easy-going, and considerate. The former is almost domineering and stubborn in loving her, while the latter is more willing to give her freedom according to her heart.
Take this glass of wine as an example. If it were Yi Chenjing, she would definitely grab the glass and pour it away. She would never allow her hair to be stained just because she was injured. However, Ning Xizui knew that she had just recovered but still allowed her to have a drink.
, pay more attention to her mood.
In fact, neither of these two people did anything right, but in this situation, compared with Ning Xizui's tenderness in understanding her mood, Yi Chenjing seemed a bit slow and dull - he didn't understand her well enough, and he still hadn't understood her for so many days.
He could sense her thoughts, but he didn't realize how much harm he had done to her by always mentioning the red ribbon.
"Come, drink." Bai Qige seemed to be a different person as soon as she touched the wine. She was bold and almost rough. After a few drinks, she was still clear-headed, with a slight blush on her cheeks.
Ning Xizui also drank with her, his eyes never leaving Bai Qige's fair cheeks. He would respond when she said something. If she didn't say anything, he would try his best to tell some strange things to make her laugh, his eyes as gentle as water.
"Have I ever said that Mr. Ning, you don't look like a businessman?" After three drinks, Bai Qige spoke more openly. Bai Qige finally vomited out the doubts in her heart, "Businessmen are always cautious, spend every penny, and put interests first in everything.
But you are different. You are smart and far-sighted. Your business should be prosperous and successful, but you have to be a hardworking trader wandering around. Also, you did make a lot of money during the Northern Expedition, but you paid extra for it.
More than that, the wine and the blue fox collar alone are far more valuable than what you can earn. Why on earth did you go on an expedition with the distant army and then left halfway? I'm afraid it wasn't for business?"
Ning Xizui chuckled: "I am indeed a businessman, and I am not willing to do those losing businesses. If I say these are all for you, Miss Bai, do you believe it?"
She shouldn't believe the mutilated appearance and broken body, but looking at that sincere face, Bai Qige almost nodded her head.
"What I like about Miss Bai is not a relationship between a man and a woman, but a close friend. In fact, I felt this way when I first met Miss Bai in the imperial capital. At that time, you were shivering with cold, standing alone on the bustling street,
There is no trace of panic or fear in the eyes, and they are so clean that they are not stained by dust. There is nothing special about the dagger you gave me. I just wanted to find a chance to strike up a conversation with you. Isn’t it shameless?" Ning Xizui put down the glass and looked at it with her chin.
Bai Qige, "A scholar dies for his confidant. I can earn more gold and silver, but I don't want to miss out on Miss Bai. Ning has no other merits, except that he has more copper odor in his waist than others. He can use this copper odor to help Miss Bai feel less sad."
I am willing to do so."
Bai Qige fell into silence as she swayed the sake in her glass.
The first encounter with Ning Xizui is not a coincidence, but it is ultimately God's will. Regardless of the cause, she will always feel much better when Ning Xizui is around. This is the so-called congeniality.
There are slight differences in personality, but their views on many things are very tacit, and there is a feeling of... sympathy for each other.
"It's a good saying, 'A man who knows his friends will die.' Mr. Ning will not be able to survive without drinking this glass of wine." Suddenly she smiled lightly, Bai Qige raised the wine glass and bumped it in front of Ning Xi's drunken glass.
Pan, with a serious and sincere look on his face, "If I can have Mr. Ning as my confidant in this life, Bai Qige can ask for nothing more."
"I can't ask for anything else. Isn't your stingy husband going to drown me in a vat of jealousy?"
It was just a joke. Ning Xizui didn't mean it. Who would have thought that Bai Qige couldn't laugh at all. Instead, she lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking. Seeing that her mood suddenly dropped again, Ning Xizui immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing.
He tilted his head and peeked at his plain face from the gap on the side: "What's wrong? Did he make you angry by flooding someone with vinegar?"
"It has nothing to do with him, it's just that I can't think about it." Bai Qige shook her head. It was difficult to hide her worries when facing Ning Xizui, and she really needed to talk to someone about the depression accumulated in her chest. Otherwise, if she continued like this, she would not wait until the imperial capital.
She was overwhelmed by her own random thoughts first. She pushed away the wine glass with a long sigh, and Bai Qige tapped her forehead in frustration: "I don't know why, but I can't get rid of some things that I know I'm overly concerned about. I seem to be getting smaller and smaller."
."
A woman's emotional pettiness is nothing more than jealousy. Although Ning Xizui didn't know who Bai Qige was jealous of, he could clearly see that Bai Qige didn't want to fall into such a complicated whirlpool.
Magnanimity, pride, daring to love and hate, that is the light she should have.
There was a cold feeling on her forehead, and Bai Qige raised her head in surprise. Ning Xizui's fingertips dipped in sake were placed right between her eyebrows, and she said with a smile: "Miss Bai has something incomparable to other women. Isn't that why the stingy general has feelings for you?"
Is he your only one? No matter how good the outsider is, he will choose you after all. If you don’t believe it..." Ning Xizui lowered her voice deliberately, and whispered mysteriously in Bai Qige's ear: "Listen when he falls asleep and talks in his sleep.
, whose name he called."
Of course, it's her name.
This is the only thing Bai Qige is 100% sure of.
Yi Chenjing didn't have the habit of talking in his sleep, but whether Bei Zheng was falling asleep due to the cold or injured, the only thing he called out was the word "Qi Ge".
Bai Qige suddenly realized that she had not noticed such a simple thing. Was it because she had become accustomed to him after being with him for too long, or was it because she rarely cared about Yi Chenjing's every move and always thought about her own things selfishly?
Woolen cloth?
He was sick and on the line between life and death. No matter what the circumstances, he thought of her wholeheartedly and missed her, but she had no reason to speculate and doubt his sincerity...
"Thank you, Mr. Ning."
Lifting her face slightly, her face bloomed silently like a lotus. At that moment, even Ning Xizui stopped breathing. All she saw was Bai Qige's clean smile, which was flawless and transparent. She couldn't help but stretched out her hand, subconsciously wanting to touch the face with scars to confirm.
Is the connection illusory? Why does it make him feel that it is the most beautiful in the world?
"If you dare to touch her, I'll chop off your hand." The cynicism exploded out of thin air, and the hanging hand froze, and Ning Xizui turned around in embarrassment.
Yi Chenjing, who walked out of the room at some time, was looking at him coldly. Behind him, Fu Chu and Ye Huawan stood dumbly. Seeing this situation, they didn't know whether to avoid or dissuade them. Ning Xizui said to Bai Qi
Yi Chenjing had always been annoyed by Ge's attentiveness. After waiting for two cups of tea in the room and not seeing Bai Qige come back, he felt uneasy as if grass had grown up. The facts seemed to be consistent with his guess, and the front foot was not yet ready.
As he entered the hall, he saw Ning Xizui stretching out her hand as if to touch Bai Qige's cheek, and her anger instantly rose.
"Go back to the room." He pulled Bai Qige and pushed him in front of him. When he passed by Ning Xizui, his eyes were as cold as ice. Yi Chenjing did not hide his anger and boredom at all, wishing that the handsome foreign man in front of him would notice his...
The rejection disappears automatically.
Ning Xizui, who was threatened by the words, was neither angry nor annoyed. She stood there with her hands behind her back and smiled like a jade. When Yi Chenjing was not paying attention, she nodded to Bai Qige, her eyes full of encouragement.
Bai Qige understands that Ning Xizui is comforting her, giving her courage and confidence, teaching her to believe in herself, and at the same time, she also believes that Yi Chenjing's feelings for her are pure.
It will be a blessing in life to have such a close friend.
Yi Chenjing pushed and pulled Bai Qige back to the room. It seemed rough, but he was very gentle, for fear of hurting Bai Qige. After entering the room, he closed the door behind him and slammed the door before Bai Qige could react.
Pressing on the door panel, he put his hands on her sides to prevent her from hiding. The small enclosed space was like a cage, easily imprisoning Bai Qige in front of her and close to her chest.
"Did he touch you?"
"No."
"Did you say anything dirty?"
"……No."
"Then why are you hesitating?"
"I'm not hesitating, I'm wondering whether to answer your unreasonable question." Bai Qige laughed angrily, raised her foot and stepped hard on Yi Chenjing's feet, "Mr. Ning is a much more serious person than you. Maybe you just wanted to
Help me brush off the dust on my body, but your villain's heart has led to your making unreasonable speculations in the heart of a gentleman."
Yi Chenjing was dissatisfied and snorted: "He is serious? He knows you are my wife and yet he is so attentive. What kind of peace of mind can he have? I even wonder if it is a coincidence that he came to Yiye Villa."
"I'm sure he's not a bad person." Bai Qige rested her forehead on Yi Chenjing's chest and closed her eyes peacefully. Ning Xizui regarded her as a friend with similar interests and nothing to do with love. She could confide everything to him but she would never feel love.
, and Ning Xizui also hoped that she could be with Yi Chenjing, otherwise how could he persuade her and wake up her unreasonable suspicion with just one sentence?
Of course, it is normal for Yi Chenjing to complain. He cares, so he is extra careful.
She felt very relaxed without the weight of a huge stone in her heart. Bai Qige stood up on her tiptoes and kissed Yi Chenjing's warm lips. There was only her scent there.
Yi Chenjing raised her eyebrows and looked down at the indifferent face with some surprise. She obviously wanted to laugh but deliberately kept a straight face to look nonchalant. Bai Qige pinched his waist and looked back at him with raised eyebrows:
"What are you looking at? You are allowed to kiss me, but I am not allowed to kiss you?"
"...You should be...more reserved."
In a society where men are superior to women and most women are only used as tools to carry on the family line, a woman who dares to kiss a man will be considered unruly and unruly, but Yi Chenjing would have known that she was different from ordinary women and had extraordinary abilities.
Despite his courageous character, I still feel surprised and fresh every time I meet Bai Qige taking the initiative.
Damn it, he actually accepted it completely and involuntarily.
"Chen Jing."
"Huh?" With her hands wrapped around her slender waist, Yi Chenjing was so happy to enjoy having his beloved wife in her arms that she didn't even bother to say anything.
"It's nothing," Bai Qige reached out and hugged her back, sleepiness filling her eyebrows, and a steady and soft smile on her lips, "I just want to call you by your name."
