She was wet and shivering, but for some reason she got angry and slapped the box of Sixi pills in Ye Chi's hand away. The hot balls rolled twice on the ground, and then they were trampled by the crowd at the intersection.

Ye Chi looked at the heroic sacrifice of the Four Joy Pills in a daze, and before he could react, Kaoru Yutai had already walked into the distance, as if he didn't realize that he was still wearing his coat, and his steps were rapid and disordered.

"Yutai, I'll take you to the hospital first. ”

He settled down and chased after him steadily, but Kaoru Tai just brushed his hand away and didn't look back: "I also want to be alone and quiet." ”

Her voice was still a little hoarse, and she walked away from the Tang family quickly, and the people around her were noisy, so that she couldn't hear what Ye Chi said later, she only knew that she kept moving forward.

It's so cold, it's the first time I've shivered so cold.

The lanterns on the street shimmered brightly, causing Kaoru to dizzy almost momentarily. The people who were attracted by the fire saw her soaking wet, and they all showed surprised eyes, consciously avoided it, and then rushed over again, so she was soon separated from Ye Chi.

After the bucket of water was poured down, she did calm down a lot, and the suffocation feeling when she witnessed the fire gradually calmed down, but when she saw Ye Chi, she was indescribably angry.

She didn't know what she was angry about, and when she saw that he was fine, her heart fell to the ground, but she couldn't stop venting.

Because when she was about to rush into the fire to save people, she found that he was just queuing up to buy Sixi pills? Or was she angry that she was reckless, and she didn't consider the possibility that he had already left?

She didn't know, and she didn't have the strength to think.

It was getting darker and darker, but the fires were getting brighter and brighter. Kaoru Yutai's chill improved slightly, and the cold wind hit his face, but it didn't pour into his body. Looking down, I saw that she was wearing Ye Chi's coat, and the moon-white collar was exactly the one he wore when he first came to Qinzhou.

Fortunately, he was fine, not like he was back then.

Kaoru Tai curled her lips slightly, and suddenly heard someone call "sister", and turned her head in a trance, only to see Ah Yao pounce suddenly, her eyes were red, and she was obviously very flustered: "Sister, why are you wet all over...... Did Lord Ye rescue him?"

"He's fine. Her head sank a little, she rubbed her eyebrows, saw Le Tong standing behind Ah Yao, and said in a low voice, "Miss Le, can you please send Ah Yao home?" ”

Le Tong nodded, looked at her tired appearance, and hurriedly asked, "What about you?"

"I'll go get my clothes dry first. Kaoru Yutai barely squeezed out a smile and raised his hand to touch Ah Yao's head.

This action made Yu Taiyao even more panicked, and hurriedly pulled her clothes to prevent her from leaving, but was stopped by Le Tong: "Don't worry, your sister is measured." ”

"How can you not be worried?" Ah Yao had a bitter face, tears rolling in his eyes, "Sister, she ...... She's most afraid of fire. ”

The night is shrouded, the evening breeze is blowing, and the moon is particularly round tonight. Kaoru Tandai sat on a high place, only to feel that the moon seemed to be within reach, so he raised his hand and grabbed it, but he didn't catch anything.

The place where she was a relatively remote alley, with seven or eight turns, and at the innermost end there was a small house, like a pigeon's house, and there was a hidden step by the big tree on the side that could be climbed, and it was very difficult to find.

Kaoru Tantai lit some fire at the highest place, trying to dry the clothes on his body, but there was a distance from it, and the clothes were still damp after a while. She didn't care about this, she just buried her head in her knees, and it was Ye Chi's coat that she had in her hand.

She really needed to be alone because she was annoying.

There are some things that she has been trying so hard to forget, but there is always something that stimulates her memory, and it feels bad.

There was a sudden sound of footsteps behind her, which seemed to be coming towards her, but Kaoru Tantai didn't look back, still holding her knees and not moving. Yuan Ziling specially picked up some firewood and sat beside her, her eyes calmed and said, "You can't do it curled up like this." ”

Hearing this, Kaoru Tantai slowly straightened up and looked at him without sadness or joy.

"It was Le Longyang who set the fire with his brain in the water, and he ran away after wanting to take revenge on Tang and Le's family, but he was arrested before he left the city. Yuan Ziling picked up a thin stick and pounded the firewood to make the fire burn more vigorously, "If you are afraid of the fire, you should not run over." ”

"I'm not afraid of fire. Kaoru Tantai spoke out without thinking, looking at the fire in front of him, but obviously a little shrunken, "I'm just here to dry my clothes." ”

"If you're not afraid of fire, can you come to this place?" Yuan Ziling sighed a little helplessly, reached out and probed her sleeve, still half-dry, "Since Aunt Hong had an accident, ......"

Feeling that Kaoru Tai's whole person froze for a moment, he didn't continue, just accompanied her to be silent.

This place was found when he was twelve years old, and it is unknown what it was originally built for, but it has been abandoned for a long time, and few people know about it. He was so excited that he brought Kaoru Tandai over the day before, and soon it became a secret base that only they knew about, but Kaoru Tandai rarely came, so he was the only one who was excited.

Two years ago, there was a fire in the yamen, and a total of seven or eight people died, one of whom was Ruan Hong, the mother of Yutai Xun, who happened to be promoted from the state to the state pastor, but unfortunately the seat did not last long. Since then, she has frequented the place, saying nothing, just sitting in such silence that even he has no idea what she is thinking.

This is where they are alone, hmph, the shameless clothed beast doesn't know.

"Kaoru, today is Tanabata, and I have something I want to give you. ”

"What?"

Yuan Ziling smiled without saying a word, and suddenly reached out from behind and patted Kaoru Yutai's left shoulder. She habitually looked to the left, but there was nothing, and when she turned her head again, there was a magpie wood carving, fat, and I don't know where he had pulled it out.

"Fool, I've teased you for so many years, this trick is really useless. Yuan Ziling winked at her and smiled, but Kaoru Taitai didn't reach out to take it, just frowned at him.

Yuan Ziling didn't notice her affection, stuffed the wood carving into her hand, and reached out to scratch the tip of her nose, "I know you like these things, just laugh." ”

The tip of his nose was brushed by his fingers, and Kaoru Tandai's whole body trembled, and he even sensed that he was approaching. Although Yuan Ziling was not beaten in the past, she would not touch her, she was not sure what medicine he had taken wrong, her eyes were fixed, she suddenly stuffed the magpie into his mouth, looked at him strangely, picked up the clothes on the ground and clapped her hands and left.

***

The fire on Qixi Day was generally not dangerous, not only was the culprit quickly caught, but there were no casualties, but the Tang family's annex was completely abandoned.

After that day, there were very few conversations between Ye Chi and Kaoru Yutai, except for official business, there was almost no intersection, and she even had the idea of moving away from the state pastor's mansion.

This is what he fears the most, and it is more terrible than not being able to see it at night.

Ye Chi couldn't figure out why she was angry, and regretted that she didn't eat the Sixi pills he bought for her. Su Yu, who came to eat, finally couldn't stand it anymore, and the wine glass fell, and said in disbelief: "She is a little girl, and she poured herself cold at night, just to save you in the fire." How lacking are you to keep thinking about your Sixi Maruko, will Sixi Maruko marry you?"

Ye Chi was stunned for a moment, as if he suddenly understood something.

In the days that followed, Kaoru Tandai tried to minimize his contact with Ye Chi, and only occasionally went to Changsu to inquire about his physical condition. Although he looked normal, it could be seen from Changsu's reaction that Ye Chi was not such a healthy person.

The scar on his arm lingered in her mind, and she couldn't imagine at what age he had caused it. Maybe his life was far less glamorous than it seemed, and what about his parents? Why was it never mentioned?

For a moment, many conjectures flooded into her mind, but while she was curious about his past, she felt infinite fear. She shook her head, and on the way to pick up Ah Yao, she happened to see a store selling sugar gourds opposite, so she went to buy a bunch.

In the blink of an eye, it was dusk again, and this time when she went to the school, her husband had not finished class yet, but the students obviously couldn't bear it anymore, and they stretched out their heads one by one to look out the window.

After Kaoru sat outside and waited for a while, the students left class, and the corridor immediately resounded with a burst of cheerful and lively frolic, and the children ran out one by one with their bookcases to find the adults.

Haruka entered school very early, and soon he was promoted to the upper dormitory, and due to physical reasons, Kaoru Yutai was worried at first that he would not fit in well. In primary school, children are simple, but they also lack moral values, and children who are often different from ordinary people will be bullied.

For this reason, Taishu repeatedly wanted to send a few strong men to the school to guard, but she was reprimanded back every time. However, the miraculous thing is that this problem almost never appears in Haruka Tai, and she sometimes feels incredible.

After the students came out one after another, Ah Yao also waved to her angrily, holding her hand and taking her hand for a walk by the river, "Sister, they heard that Master Ye can memorize the content of a whole book, and they all want to go to the yamen to see it." ”

Hearing that he deliberately mentioned Ye Chi, Kaoru Yutai said softly: "He is very busy, it should be inconvenient." ”

Ah Yao suddenly frowned, looking a little worried.

"Don't you like Lord Ye very much?"

"He was a civil official, very weak, and could easily die. ”

"......" Ah Yao rubbed his face and did not refute her again.

He had already worked hard to do this, but why did he still have little success? In the past, he was more optimistic about Yuan Ziling, but later felt that this person was hopeless, so he began to work Ye Chi's body. He knew what Kaoru was afraid of, and he knew the reason why she wished that everyone around her was a golden bell hood, but there was nothing she could do.

With his body, he doesn't know how old he can live, but what if his sister really can't get married.

After Kaoru sent Yao home, he returned to the governor's mansion. During this time, she was indeed looking for other houses, but she could not find a place with the right price and location. As soon as Fang entered the door, he bumped into Ye Chi, who was sitting in the courtyard, holding a book in his hand, as if he was waiting for her.

His eyes lit up, a smile appeared on his elegant and elegant face, and he took the initiative to speak: "Shantai, you...... Didn't you catch a cold?"

Kaoru Yutai said without thinking: "I never catch a cold. ”

“……”

After she finished speaking, she hurriedly turned around and left, and when she left, she looked at him specifically, not as if she was angry, but as if she was ...... Deliberately avoid him.

"Kaoru. Ye Chi spoke again, and this title made her suddenly startled, and she was immediately stunned in place.

"I know what happened when you were a child, you're not a plague god. He stood up slowly, his slender figure seemed so tall in her eyes for the first time, and the fluorescence in his eyes flowed, "You didn't do anything wrong with me, and that fire had nothing to do with you." ”

Kaoru looked at him with some incredulity, but the smile on Ye Chi's face was even brighter, as warm as the sun: "I secretly counted our eight characters." ”
