The breeze blew, and the lights on the table flickered, flickering on and off.
Xu Qinghuan vaguely smelled a damp smell in the wind, as if it was raining somewhere.
Song Chengxuan just stood there, showing no intention of entering.
What happened to him today? If it was normal, he would be in front of her in the blink of an eye.
A leaf fell from the branch and fell on his shoulder, as if to remind her that it was late autumn and the weather had turned cold. It was warm in her room and she didn't feel cold with the window open, but it was different standing outside.
Already.
Xu Qinghuan nodded to Song Chengxuan and motioned for him to come in, but Song Chengxuan remained motionless, his whole body seemed to be integrated with the night.
Xu Qinghuan couldn't help but feel a little anxious. What kind of temper was this person having? They had not had unpleasant conversations before. It should be said that since they started to cooperate in investigating the case, there had been no disputes between them. The Song Hou who was so cautious in her previous life did not
She thought she was so ruthless and unscrupulous, but on the contrary, he saved her life and the lives of her father and brother many times, gave enough understanding on the matter between the Anyi Marquis' Mansion and the Wei Prince's Mansion, and... treated her like this.
It's just that something unusual happened to him today. Did things outside go poorly?
Xu Qinghuan pursed her lips. It was already dark now. If she spoke, she would definitely alarm Yin Gui. Although they had met several times in private, only Feng Chu knew about it. Yin Gui would be shocked if she found out. Then she would
What to say?
Thinking of this, Xu Qinghuan's face turned slightly red.
But continuing with this stalemate is not an option.
"Sir Song," Xu Qinghuan began to say, "come in!"
Xu Qinghuan's voice was lower than usual, and it actually sounded a bit coquettish.
Yin Gui was thinking about whether to bring tea in when she suddenly heard Xu Qinghuan's voice and subconsciously turned around to go into the inner room to check.
She has been serving the eldest lady for many years. As long as the eldest lady gives instructions, she will subconsciously walk over immediately without thinking carefully about the meaning of her words.
Yin Gui came out of the side room, turned around and saw the figure in the yard through the window. She couldn't help but open her mouth in surprise, and her whole body was stunned. Isn't that Mr. Song?
Why didn't anyone notify Mr. Song when he came to the courtyard? The concierge wouldn't be so careless. Could it be that Mr. Song came in by himself?
The eldest lady is ready to rest after washing herself. Not to mention her husband, even if the prince comes, he will be blocked by her.
How could Mr. Song be so arrogant? The eldest lady knew that she would be frightened if she could not tell. This matter could be big or small, and the marriage between the two families would be canceled if it caused too much trouble.
Yin Gui was about to walk out the door, but Feng Chu stopped her.
"What are you doing?" Yin Gui frowned and was about to scold Feng Chu. Before she could say the next words, she heard the eldest lady's voice coming from the room.
"Yin Gui, Feng Chu, you go and have a rest!"
Yin Gui opened her eyes wide, and it took her a while to realize. What the eldest lady just said... was that what she meant?
Lord Song came here to discuss with the eldest lady?
"Go!" Xu Qinghuan's voice came again.
Yin Gui then allowed Feng Chu to pull her outside.
Xu Qinghuan didn't expect that Yin Gui would know about the secret meeting at night, and she even openly ordered them to leave.
What else should she do?
As if nothing has happened, watching him stand there, not knowing when he will come over, leaving him outside for a long time will eventually become a little unbearable.
Close the window and let him go. What should she do next time they meet? He has been busy outside all day long, and she doesn't want to make things unpleasant like this.
It's better to go in. There is hot water and snacks in the room...
After much deliberation, she could only speak.
Yin Gui didn't know what to think.
Now that the words have been spoken, don't think about it anymore, but the most annoying thing is that Song Chengxuan seemed to be frozen there, motionless.
Xu Qinghuan couldn't help but feel worried, and turned around to go out and take a look.
She didn't have time to put on her cloak, so she quickly walked to the door and opened the two doors. Before she even stepped out, a figure came to greet her. It was Song Chengxuan.
She walked so fast that she almost bumped into him, her cheek brushed against his clothes, feeling a bit of moist coolness.
It wasn't raining outside. Maybe it happened to rain somewhere on his way back, and his clothes were soaked by the rain.
Xu Qinghuan raised her head and saw his cold and stern eyebrows. He was looking down at her, with slight waves in his eyes.
Her heart seemed to be wrinkled all of a sudden, and she couldn't help but said with concern: "What's wrong with you? Your clothes are all wet, come in and change them."
It doesn’t matter if I don’t find the pills, Mr. Liao said that he will find a way to treat me, and even if he doesn’t do anything, there won’t be any serious problems in more than ten years.”
There is still time to slowly find a prescription to detoxify.
Even if she can't find a prescription, after more than ten years, she will be in her thirties, and she will have lived better and longer than in her previous life. It is enough to cherish these times. One day like this is better than ten years in her previous life.
Just when she thought of this, Xu Qinghuan felt her eyes darken. Song Chengxuan bent down, blocking the light in front of her eyes, and then her whole body was hugged into his arms.
His clothes were cold and his heartbeat was fast and strong, so his body was warm.
Her heart also beat violently.
They hadn't been apart for a few days, but it felt like they were hugging each other for the first time.
This warm and familiar breath made her feel extremely at ease.
She also wanted to give him some response. In such a dark and cold night, he was not always warm, and the coolness would find ways to invade him. Maybe she didn't have much power, but she also wanted to give him something.
rely on.
She stretched out her arms and wrapped her arms around his waist, burying herself in his arms as much as possible.
It was the first time she took such initiative, which made him stiffen. He tightened his arm again, and then gently stroked her long hair with his other hand.
Then lean down...
Xu Qinghuan only felt that her heartstrings were suddenly pulled, and her chest felt a little sore and painful. Compared with before, he seemed more eager and enthusiastic. Gradually, she became breathless. She subconsciously wanted to move back, but she felt
His hand caressed her neck, and his thumb kept rubbing back and forth behind her ear. He was so gentle and nostalgic that she didn't want to push him away anymore.
The suffering, pain and the burning fire gradually left her. Her mind went blank, and all she could feel was the person in front of her.
The belated raindrops finally fell, rustling on the fallen leaves.
Song Chengxuan raised his head and stared at Xu Qinghuan in his arms. She had her eyes closed, and there was a trace of flush on her cheeks. When he was standing outside the door, he wanted to come over, but for some reason, there was a feeling in his heart, as if he was already standing there.
He stared at her here for a long time, just looking at her like this, but he couldn't get closer. She was clearly right in front of him, but yet she was so far away from him.
He felt panicked and inexplicably uneasy. When he saw that she was about to walk out in a thin dress, he came to his senses and immediately went to meet her.
It wasn't until I held her in my arms that the sad feeling in my heart was gradually dispelled.
