CHAPTER 84
Yan Tianmu watched Xiyan pour wine for himself, he couldn't remember when it started, they just ate in silence, and she would also notice that there was no wine in the cup, and spontaneously help him pour it. The love and struggles that had once stirred in his heart gradually faded with the passage of time. Although many times, he couldn't help but want to ask if she was in love with him, but he restrained himself. Waiting and waiting can certainly make people lose their minds, but one answer can destroy everything, and there are more important things in his life than her. The forced lingering could not appease him, so he preferred to remain estranged for the time being.
"I have to leave the palace with the king next month, and it will take 10 days to come back at the earliest. He said as he picked up the dishes.
"Oh, got it. Xiyan stopped with the chopsticks of rice, and for 10 days, she frowned.
"I'm sorry, but you can put up with it. Yan Tianmu understood her concerns, but she was helpless. It's just painful, not fatal.
Xiyan was silent. He has done his best, there are some things that he can't help himself, and she should have understood that there will be such consequences, so she can only accept it.
"You should call Yuexiang and them to accompany you, not always alone. Yan Tianmu smiled and said with concern.
"One person sits, two people sit the same, what's the difference?" Xiyan asked rhetorically. He didn't allow her to touch anything in the courtyard, for fear that others would find out that she still had the heart to live a leisurely life. She had to ask him to bring some paintings from outside, tear them to pieces, and then slowly collage them back to their original shapes to get through the long years. When living just to live, people are inferior to ants. She never recalls, afraid that memories will drown out the present and lose the courage to go on. She also prayed to the heavens that she didn't want to go on like this, but the heavens didn't hear her voice.
Xiyan sent Yan Tianmu away and stood in the courtyard for a while. Back in the room, a man sat at the table.
"Should I step up my guards?" said Yuyan closed the door and walked over to the table. He took a clean cup, poured tea and put it in front of him.
"There's no guard left to stop me, and I won't come again if you don't want to. He reached down and pulled down the mask. She blew out the candles.
"Wouldn't that be better? She asked.
"Are you implying that you don't want to see me?" he said slowly, taking a sip of his tea.
"Sort of. She smiled. "Why are you here again?"
"I thought you'd be happy. He smiled slightly, "But when I came, I realized that there were already two cups on the table." ”
Under the moonlight, his outline is clear, his facial features are exquisite, he must be a good look, and he has a tall and sturdy figure, and when he thinks of his eyes, he is a stunner among men. If it was 10 years earlier, she would definitely rush over. Now, she can only turn a blind eye.
"I don't mind contributing an extra cup of tea. "What should I say?" in return, can you tell me about the outside world?"
"What do you want to hear?" he was also pleased.
"Anything is good. "Yes, anything is good, anything, even if it is trivial and ordinary, the breath in it can warm her.
He began to talk casually, from the shadow puppets on the streets of the capital to the frogs in the summer fields, from the curling smoke at dusk to the long shouts in the middle of the night, she listened attentively, and most of the ordinary things she had seen and felt with her own eyes, and they could be told from other people's mouths. She followed his story, as if she had revisited. He spoke until her thirst stopped, and she hadn't come back to her senses.
"Thank you. She couldn't get enough of it.
"I should thank you, for the first time, I found that I have a talent for storytelling, and I have another ability to find food. He quipped.
She wanted to say something easily, but the tears fell first. Self-pity is not her style, but tears flow unconsciously. Through the glimmer of light, he saw the glint in her eyes and the falling water. He feigned that he was unconscious, got up to take his leave, and disappeared outside the door without waiting for her to speak.
