Hongshi nodded and said, "Yes, now that I see you are safe and sound, I feel relieved."
Mrs. Xu was moved but also a little worried: "But what if you are discovered by coming here like this? And it's not peaceful here recently. A group of gangsters just arrived yesterday."
Hongshi could feel Xu's concern for him and said: "Don't worry, since I can come in, I can go out. As for those criminal thieves, Shuntian Mansion has opened a case for investigation. They dare not show up again, let alone harm you."
"Yeah." For some reason, Mrs. Xu had no doubts about Hong Shi's words. She just felt that he would not lie to her. When she saw Hong Shi preparing to go out, she hurriedly grabbed Hong Shi and said, "Don't go out, those big guys
The inner guards must be watching closely now, you will be discovered if you go out, so you should wait a while before going out."
"Yes." Hongshi nodded, and then looked down at his hand held by Mrs. Xu. Mrs. Xu came to her senses, quickly retracted her hand, and said in a panic: "Sit down, I'll give you a glass of water."
"Thank you." Hongshi's eyes followed Mrs. Xu unconsciously. The mist of the night made it difficult for him to see Mrs. Xu's face clearly, but because of this, he was even more confused about whether the person in front of him was Mrs. Xu.
Still Jiamo.
Mrs. Xu didn't know Hongshi's thoughts. After hurriedly pouring a glass of water and handing it to Hongshi, she whispered: "Thank you so much, second elder brother, for those cordyceps last time."
Her voice made Hongshi wake up from his trance and said: "It's just a small thing, not worth mentioning. Is your health better?"
"Well, it's no big deal." After saying this, Ms. Xu didn't know what to say. She was not used to talking to men, and it was a man other than her husband. After sitting awkwardly for a while, she finally
I found a sentence, "Actually, second elder brother should not have come here. Since you know what is going on here, you should know that I am very good."
Hongshi stared at her and said, "I know, but I want to see with my own eyes whether you are okay."
"A well is a well, so why do you have to see it with your own eyes. You..." Ms. Xu didn't know how to continue for a while. After a while, she bit her lip and whispered: "You shouldn't be so nice to me."
"When I go back, just pretend that nothing happened. As for me being nice to you..." Hongshi felt a little pain in his heart, but couldn't tell the truth, so he only said: "Maybe it's because of our affinity, and
...I like the kite you made very much, it reminds me of a person."
"Who is this person?" Xu asked curiously. Hongshi shook his head and said, "It's just an old friend, so don't mention it."
Seeing Hongshi, he didn't want to say more. Xu knew that he was interested and didn't ask any more questions. Later, the two of them stopped talking and just sat quietly like this until the sound of the clock came again from outside, ringing four times and four times.
More days.
Hongshi stood up and said, "It's time for me to go, Mr. Xu, take care."
"Yes." Zai Hongshi opened the door quietly and was about to go out when Xu suddenly asked: "Will you come again?"
Mrs. Xu didn't know why she asked such a question. She had just said that Hongshi shouldn't come, and she knew very well that she and Hongshi shouldn't meet too much. But she couldn't control herself from saying this wrong thing.
, why? Maybe it’s because I can’t bear to part with that little bit of warmth.
Hongshi paused for a moment, but didn't say anything. When the door was closed again, Xu was the only one left in the wing. She was a little disappointed, but also a little lucky. Hongshi was right not to come back, and she hoped that he would never come back in the future.
Come again.
Both of them knew that they should not meet again, but they couldn't help the longing deep in their hearts, so a few days later, Hongshi appeared in Xu's wing again.
Since Hong Shi left last time, Mrs. Xu would ask the Ouchi guards to stay outside the courtyard every time before she took a break, because she had always had the extravagant hope of seeing Hong Shi again. Such a move would undoubtedly
It will be more convenient for Hongshi to sneak in.
Looking at that face in the darkness, Hongshi turned all his thoughts into one sentence, "I know I shouldn't come, but I still came because... I want to see you!"
Mrs. Xu looked back at him and said softly: "You are walking on a road of no return. It's still too late to turn back now."
"Do you want me to look back?" Hongshi asked after being silent for a long time.
"I hope you look back, but at the same time, I hope to keep making mistakes with you. I...I don't know what I'm thinking, I..." Xu said incoherently, and the next moment, her lips covered with body temperature
His lips touched hers, making her tremble with fear and desire.
For a long time, Hongshi pressed her head against hers and said hoarsely: "I know that you want to be with me, but you are afraid of violating ethics and being known by others. You... it's still too late to refuse now!"
"I..." Mrs. Xu stroked her slightly swollen lips and said tremblingly: "I know it's wrong, but I can't bear to let go of the only warmth."
Hongshi gently held her cheek and looked at this haunting face, "As long as you don't let go, the warmth will always be by your side and never leave. Tell me your name."
Mrs. Xu was intoxicated by his voice and said without hesitation: "Nian Yao, Xu Nianyao."
"I remember, Xu Nianyao, I will definitely keep this name in my heart and never forget it." As these words fell, the clothes slowly fell off, and all the sadness and lingering were in this small wing.
.
After that night, Hongshi came to Hui'an Temple several times, but because he came and went in hiding, and because Xu deliberately sent people out, no one found Hongshi, and it was just assumed that Hongshi had never been to Hui'an Temple.
However, Hongshi's several trips out of the city still attracted Hongli's attention. When he entered the palace to pay his respects to Ling Ruo, he said: "Mother, my second brother left the city several times, but the people who were ambushing near Hui'an Temple said they have never seen him.
The second brother appeared, which made Erchen confused. Erchen once sent people to follow him, but they were all thrown away by him halfway. He also tried the second brother, but he only said that he was going to inspect the manor outside the city.
I won’t say anything else.”
Ling Ruo thought for a while and said, "What's going on over there at Hui'an Temple?"
"Everything is the same as before, there are no big changes, but because Xu Guiren doesn't like others to guard outside her house, the imperial guards sent by Huang Ama are guarding outside the courtyard."
Ling Ruo didn't know what she was thinking of, she frowned and said, "Is it like this every day?"
"Yes." After Hongli answered, he added: "Mother, what's so strange?"
Ling Ruo rolled up her sleeves and stood up, walked back and forth in the room a few times and then said, "Second brother will not leave the city for no reason. The most likely reason is to go to Hui'an Temple."
"But..." Hongli just said two words, Ling Ruo said: "After all, the people you sent are outside the temple, so it is difficult to keep an eye on the Xu family. As for the imperial guards, they are guarding outside the courtyard. It is really difficult inside.
