By the time they reached the foot of the mountain, it was completely dark. A gas lantern was hung on the carriage as they headed home; but it was dark inside the carriage and they could not see anything clearly.
Yun Qiao and Xi Lanting were in the same car. She didn't say anything, and neither did Xi Lanting.
In the darkness, Yun Qiao could almost smell Xi Lanting's breath - cold, a bit crisp like tobacco, like a winter forest.
She was nervous for no reason.
Yun Qiao didn't know what she was nervous about. When she realized it, her heart beat faster and she could feel it.
This is a very novel feeling. It is not extreme fear, and the human heart is beating so fast, but it is extreme joy.
What is she happy about?
She held her breath, not letting her emotions show too much, and slowly calmed down her heartbeat.
Xi Lanting suddenly asked: "What are you thinking about?"
Yun Qiao was startled.
Xi Lanting added: "What are you afraid of? Am I a ghost?"
"No, I was just in a trance." Yun Qiao said, "Uncle Qi has always guessed people's thoughts. Guess what I am thinking."
Xi Lanting: "I'm very tired today and I can't guess."
Yun Qiao felt a little disappointed for a moment. She actually expected Xi Lanting to guess.
Or, he could sarcastically say a few more words to cool Yun Qiao's boiling blood.
She is probably the one who gets interested in sex.
She couldn't do this. This was the seventh master of the Xi family, not a social butterfly. How could Yun Qiao treat him as a fan for fun?
Yun Qiao feels that men and women are the same, lust is their nature. But they must know how to restrain themselves, which can be regarded as cultivation.
"Uncle Qi, I owe you a favor for accompanying me for such a long trip this time. What compensation do you want?" Yun Qiao asked him.
When Xi Lanting heard this, he was filled with emotions.
What he wanted was too much.
"Actually, I want to die." Xi Lanting said.
Yun Qiao: "..."
"Forget it, let's not talk about it." He changed the subject without waiting for Yun Qiao's answer, "I didn't accompany you specifically. I was busy with my own business along the way. Just treat it as two of us walking together."
While they were chatting, the car returned to the old house.
Everyone in the old house hadn't eaten yet, so they were waiting for them, planning to start eating after eight o'clock before they came back.
During the meal, Xi Lanting deliberately chose a place far away from Yun Qiao.
Cheng Li took the opportunity to sit next to Yun Qiao and asked her: "Is the mountain still fun?"
"It's too cold. There's snow on the top of the mountain." Yun Qiao said, "We're not going to a temple fair this time. There are not many people. It's deserted and deserted, so it's not very fun."
"Eat some meat, you've been tired for a long day." He said.
Yun Qiao thanked him.
This night, Yun Qiao stayed in her grandmother's room. She often slept with her grandmother when she was a child. Her grandmother smelled like sunshine, which was particularly good.
Grandma loves to be clean. She often asks people to dry and wash the quilt, and her body is always clean without any odor.
After she lay down, her mind was filled with thoughts about her grandmother's life.
Without her grandmother, Yun Qiao would have no home. Even if she found Du Xiaoqin, it would not be her home.
Loneliness crept towards Yun Qiao, and she sighed softly.
"If there is a next life, I want to be reborn into a wealthy family. The family will be harmonious and harmonious, and they don't need to be too wealthy." Yun Qiao fantasized.
However, there are a lot of conflicts in the general population, and true harmony is rare. Just like the Cheng family, they are harmonious on the surface, but secretly they are fighting to the death among the brothers.
Yun Qiao wants to get married even more.
As she lay here, she recalled talking to her grandmother about this matter.
Grandma said that she should marry the man she likes. The couple loves each other very much. Even if there are quarrels, they are not afraid. The most afraid thing is that they should "respect each other as guests" and their love will be as weak as water.
"When you are young, you must be lively and lively." Grandma added, "Otherwise, how can you survive? Life will be very hard."
