That day, it started raining heavily in the middle of the night.
There was lightning and thunder, as if the sky was about to collapse.
Gu Ruojiao was woken up by the thunder and couldn't sleep after that.
She hesitated for a few seconds, then got up and got out of bed.
System: Host, where are you going in such a heavy rain?
Gu Ruojiao didn't reply to it, she didn't even put on her coat, she went out and turned right and opened Xiao Chengyu's door.
The room was very dark, and there was a cold air everywhere.
It's like no one has lived here for years.
Gu Ruojiao touched Xiao Chengyu's bed with familiarity.
As soon as he got closer, he was pulled onto the bed.
"What are you doing up at midnight?"
The man's voice was low and deep, and you couldn't tell what he was thinking.
"Jiaojiao is afraid of thunder."
Gu Ruojiao got under the quilt with cold hands and feet.
A pair of hands came over and wrapped her hand in his palm.
The warmth was transmitted from the palm of her hand, and her body soon warmed up.
"You don't know how to put on some clothes?" There was a hint of reproach in his cold voice.
Gu Ruojiao stuck out her tongue: "It's urgent."
Saying that, she crawled into his arms again.
It felt like Xiao Chengyu hugged her tighter.
Xiao Chengyu has not let Gu Ruojiao go to his bed since she was ten years old.
But he didn't let her stay too far away. He only asked her to move her things to the next door.
If it hadn't been for too much thunder tonight, Gu Ruojiao wouldn't have come over.
And Xiao Chengyu would not let her go to bed.
Gu Ruojiao moved herself to a comfortable position and put her head on his chest.
"Brother Yu."
"Um?"
"The thunder is so strong tonight."
"Um."
"Can I come over if there's thunder in the future?"
Xiao Chengyu did not reply to her, but asked: "Does Jiaojiao like the palace?"
"I don't like it." She answered without hesitation.
Xiao Chengyu's eyes darkened, and his dark eyes looked a little cold in the darkness.
I heard her say again: "But there is Brother Yu here, so I can barely bear it."
The coldness in Xiao Chengyu's eyes dissipated.
"The day after tomorrow is the enthronement ceremony. Don't run around and stay in my sight. Do you understand?"
"good."
She covered her mouth and yawned, closed her eyes and prepared to sleep.
However, Xiao Chengyu didn't sleep.
Sometimes he was stroking her long hair, and sometimes he was rubbing the jade beads on her wrist, never stopping.
Gu Ruojiao opened one eye: "Brother Yu, isn't he sleeping?"
Only then did Xiao Chengyu calm down.
Gu Ruojiao could finally sleep.
Half asleep and half awake, she heard him sigh softly.
"Jiaojiao, grow up quickly."
"I've waited long enough."
*
Soon it will be Xiao Chengyu's enthronement ceremony.
Gu Ruojiao was taken out of bed by Xiao Chengyu early in the morning.
Before she even opened her eyes, the palace maid who came to take over was already helping her wash and dress up.
After a lot of tossing, Gu Ruojiao finally woke up.
She stretched out and looked at the palace guests coming in and out, her eyes were dazzled.
Lady in the Palace: "Are you hungry, my young master? Your Majesty has asked people to prepare pastries. He said that the ceremony will take at least three hours, so you can eat something to satisfy your hunger."
Gu Ruojiao touched her belly and nodded.
After finishing eating, Gu Ruojiao asked, "Don't I need to go out?"
Palace Maid: "Your Majesty said that the ceremony was very complicated and boring at the beginning, so you should have enough rest before proceeding."
Gu Ruojiao was speechless.
Since she doesn't need to go so early, why dig her out of bed so early in the morning?
She thought so, but she didn't want to miss Xiao Chengyu's coronation ceremony.
So she stuffed a few pastries into her sleeve pockets and asked the palace maid to lead the way.
When we arrived, it was the scene where Xiao Chengyu was wearing a dragon-patterned python robe.
Across the crowd, she saw a man who had grown up enough to dominate the world and looked down upon all things with pride, as if he should have been above all others.
And they were all willing to crawl under him.
Including Gu Ruojiao.
She couldn't help but smile.
Then she saw the man in a high position cast his eyes on her very accurately and looked straight at her.
At this moment, it seemed like there were only two of them left in the world.
