Although his tone was gentle, he was also very serious and did not mean to joke at all.
Xu Mingyi was startled when he heard this - what do you mean... sending him away too?
Isn't Ningyang his home?
How did you manage to say such resentful words in such a serious manner?
When their eyes met, his eyes were a little gentle and a little insistent: "I can help you if I stay."
That’s not to say that Second Uncle Xu and Mingshi are only holding back...
He just feels that anyone can leave nowadays, but he must not leave.
Staying can help her - Xu Mingyi has no room to refute this statement.
During these days, if he and the Queen had not been helping each other, she would not have been able to find Qiao Bingying so smoothly and quickly enough, and get the most critical Ganoderma lucidum in the antidote.
He really helped her a lot.
But just because he can help her, she can't ignore his position and situation, pretend to be confused, and use his feelings for her to tie him up in this dangerous place in the capital -
This is her idea.
But if he said it out loud, it would not be conducive to persuading him to go back, so he just said: "I can handle the situation now. Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion."
"I also have a sense of propriety."
Wu Chao had a stubborn temperament, but he even used it on her. It was rare to be so insistent on his opinion: "My grandfather is here in Ningyang, so there is no problem for me to go back to the clan a few days later. As for the capital - if it is not stable,
If so, there are my aunt and the Queen Mother in the palace, and my father and mother outside the palace. It doesn't matter if there is one more or one less. What's more, the emperor's target now is not the Wu family."
Therefore, whether he returns to Ningyang at this time will not have much substantial impact on the Wu family. Although his staying here is an act of obedience, it is also a decision that is within the scope of choices he can make.
As for my grandfather, he will apologize after returning to Ningyang.
So, she should be able to understand that she doesn’t have to bear any burden on this matter at all, right?
As if aware of the intention of his words, the girl looked at him and said, "No matter how much I say, it will be of no use to you."
"Who said that?" The young man's eyes flickered for a moment, but he still said: "At least I can feel at ease."
She didn't even think about it. How could he trust her if he returned to Ningyang alone?
So to put it bluntly, he did this just to make himself feel at ease, and it was not worth any burden on her heart.
Hearing the word "peace of mind" in his mouth, Xu Mingyi felt as if something hit her heart. She was only talking to him about the pros and cons of the overall situation, but she ignored this point - just like when she went to Ningyang to find him, no matter what
No matter how many results you look for, in the final analysis, it is just to make yourself feel at ease.
Seeing that she didn't respond for a while, Wu Chao then said: "Zhaozhao, you don't have to always think of me as so valuable. If I'm in danger, you want to push me out."
On the contrary, he should be at the front——
People always have things they want to protect, and they do something for the people and things they care about. This choice is so ordinary that it is not even worth mentioning.
But she had to drive him away just for this natural thing.
Under the moonlight, looking at the young man's calm but seemingly unshakable eyes, Xu Mingyi's heart felt like a warm wind was stirring, and he gradually relaxed.
"You really don't want to leave?" she asked.
Wu Chao answered without hesitation: "I won't leave."
I can't even chase him away.
"Then don't leave." Xu Mingyi's tone suddenly relaxed, and there was a smile in his eyes, but they were slightly red.
Regarding what the relationship between herself and Wu Chao should be, she seemed to have figured out something new, but she couldn't explain it at the moment.
But she was very clear: "If you stay and help me, I will also protect you."
The girl's eyes were red, as if she were joking, but it also felt like she was actually thinking. Wu Chao couldn't help but smile and said, "Then I'd like to thank you, girl, for taking more care of her."
Hearing his answer, Xu Mingyi suddenly felt that what he just said was a bit funny.
The two looked at each other and smiled, but Wu Chao noticed that the smile of the girl in front of him was not completely relaxed.
This has been the case since Duke Zhen Guo left Beijing.
"Don't worry, the Duke and the good people have their own destiny." Wu Chao said warmly.
Such comfort may sound a little feeble, but now that he has done everything he can, the rest can only be left to luck - and he once heard the Duke say that Zhao Zhao is his lucky star and will always bring him good things.
Good luck, I think this time will be no exception.
"Well, I think so too." Xu Mingyi nodded, with conviction in his voice.
At this moment, the boy's hands hanging by his side moved slightly.
He kind of wanted to... hug her.
But in doing so, doesn’t it seem like taking advantage of someone’s weakness, which is not what a gentleman would do?
Although this thought echoed in my mind for a moment, it did not play a decisive role in the end.
Wu Chao took a step forward and reached out to pull her into his arms. His movements were very gentle, as if to soothe the anxiety in her heart. Xu Mingyi leaned in front of him. After a brief stiffness, she felt tired and tense.
It was lifted off little by little by some invisible force.
He didn't say anything more, just held her gently like this.
Xu Mingyi didn't know when she reached out her hand and put it around him.
It seems that not all things in this world can be measured by common sense, but the bonds and connections between people are truly mysterious.
The kindness and warmth exuded by the tenderness conveyed from the heart are enough to make everyone fall deeply into it.
And this kind of intention is always the most powerful.
It is precisely because she has such beautiful power around her that she always believes that everything will be fine. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, the end will be bright.
The family around her and Wu Chao gave her such strength.
And she has always wanted to be such a person in this life. Through her, people around her can also feel the same, but she doesn't know if she can do it.
"Chirp!"
A bird call broke the quiet and soft atmosphere between the two.
They all turned around and saw the Third Eye standing beside the two of them at some point, stretching out their heads to look at them, their round eyes full of doubts - what are you doing?
It had just gone into the yard, and after waiting for a long time without seeing anyone, it came out again.
Xu Mingyi came to his senses and let go of Wu Chao.
Wu Chao also retracted his hands and clasped them behind his back. His body was still upright, but there was a faint smile that could not be concealed between his eyebrows: "It's windy, go in quickly. If anything happens, ask someone to send me a message."
"Okay, you should go back and rest early."
Wu Chao agreed and watched Xu Mingyi climb over the wall and enter.
That's not to say that no one opened the door for her. According to her, she did so because it was convenient and saved her the trouble of knocking and opening the door.
And he was not the only one who also watched Xu Mingyi climb over the wall -
