Ruyi took a deep breath, plucked up the courage, and slowly moved forward under the dim moonlight, wanting to find out. As she got closer, she heard heavy breathing coming from the wall. It turned out that this person was still there.
alive.
She coughed slightly, and the man moved, stood up, looked around blankly, and then called her name: "Ruyi? Is that you?"
The moment she heard that person's voice, Ruyi felt relieved. That person was none other than Bai Qinghan.
"Xiao Bai, it's so late, why aren't you sleeping? What are you doing here?" Ruyi asked. Judging from the way he looked just now, he should have fallen asleep due to exhaustion.
Bai Qinghan said: "The palace is too big. I'm afraid you won't be able to find your way back, so I want to come and greet you. Besides, the princesses I saw earlier didn't seem to be a nuisance. I'm worried... worried that they will
It's hard for you, because with your temperament, I'm afraid you will give in again and again. I don't worry..."
A warm current surged in Ruyi's heart, her lips opened slightly, and she uttered the word "fool".
Bai Qinghan jumped up as soon as he reached his height: "Who are you to call me stupid! How can such a wise and mighty dragon like me be associated with the word stupid!"
"Okay, okay, you're not stupid, you're not stupid, you're the smartest." Seeing him like this, Ruyi smiled from ear to ear.
The two of them did not light up lanterns and walked along the tree-lined path under the moonlight and stars.
The cool breeze was blowing, the beauty was beside him, the fragrance of Ruyi's hair and body penetrated Bai Qinghan's nose, and he suddenly felt that he was not calm anymore.
The heartbeat accelerated and the breathing became heavier. The two people who talked about everything became a little embarrassed due to this ambiguous atmosphere.
Bai Qinghan took a deep breath, dropped his hands on his chest, and pretended that no one was around, lightly touching Ruyi's hand.
The moment the two hands came into contact, Ruyi also felt a numb and itchy feeling coming from her palm. She shrank her hand.
Bai Qinghan plucked up the courage and immediately held Ruyi's little hand. Her hand was a little cold, and he squeezed her hand hard, fearing that she would run away if he let go.
Ruyi trembled, but because she relied on the warmth, she didn't break away, and kept her hand in his palm. She stood on her toes slightly, and she felt a pleasant feeling in her heart.
Maybe... maybe just maybe...
Maybe when time will dilute everything, maybe when she can truly put Qin Xiao in her heart, she can accept Bai Qinghan...accept this hard-won warm feeling.
After Qin Xiao, no one else except Bai Qinghan could make Ruyi feel so relaxed and trustworthy.
The two of them just walked back to Yunlai Pavilion without saying a word, holding hands and walking in each other's shadows with smiles on their faces.
Bai Qinghan sent Ruyi back to the door of her room. The bright lantern in front of the room made her face red, but it also concealed her shyness.
The watery eyes and the long ink-like hair all moved Bai Qinghan's heart. He suppressed his ecstatic heart, touched the broken hair on her forehead with his hand, and blurted out: "You... are so beautiful...
"
Ruyi's eyes were lowered, and he was flustered. In a panic, he said something incomprehensible: "You are also... quite beautiful..."
Bai Qinghan looked at her red lips, swallowed his saliva, panted heavily and got closer, and was about to kiss her. Ruyi stepped back and got into the house. She closed the door heavily and leaned on it,
He said: "Go to bed quickly! I have to get up early tomorrow."
Bai Qinghan was stunned for a moment, hummed, and returned angrily.
He knew that she probably had some feelings, and he also knew that he still had a long way to go. After all, there was still a person named Qin Xiao in her heart... He couldn't make the same mistake again.
