Ye Chi smiled gently, but he was obviously extremely happy, even his eyes were crooked, compared to his usual fairy-like appearance, he looked a little like a child at the moment.

Kaoru Yutai still didn't answer, although she didn't know about these things, but fools should know that counting eight characters is something that only men and women who say kiss will do. This person...... What did you do behind her back?

"How did you know my eight characters?"

"Ah Yao sue sù mine. ”

…… Really.

Kaoru Tantai looked at him very calmly, couldn't see what he was thinking, and asked, "Why do you count eight characters?"

Ye Chi smiled, his face flushed inadvertently, but he didn't avoid her gaze: "Because we are very compatible, you didn't restrain me." ”

As he spoke, he gently held her hand, feeling that this hand was really thin and small, and he couldn't imagine where her strength came from, and asked cautiously, "Can I call you Kaoru?"

Kaoru Tai looked at him, his hand had also been held by him before, and he didn't know how many punches he had made when he went out to practice martial arts, but he felt a little weird at this moment. This feeling has also occurred before, as if eating a double yolk egg at breakfast, a little surprise that passes by in a flash.

She slowly withdrew her hand and nodded her head twice, and Ye Chi, who got an affirmative answer, was even happier, and for a while she didn't even know where to put her hand, which surprised her a little.

…… Who is the younger one?

Autumn came quickly, and the weather became cold almost all at once, and it was cloudy for several days. Ye Chi didn't ask about the events of the year carefully, which surprised Kaoru Yutai. It was true that even if he asked, she was not prepared to tell him, but as if he could see through this, life was as usual.

After winter, it is estimated that it will be even more difficult to find a house. Kaoru Tandai didn't expect to be able to move out this year, so he simply didn't spend much time on it.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, she returned home with a pot of wine, Ah Yao had been waiting for her at home for a long time, and she was even a little disappointed that she came alone: "Lord Ye didn't come with you?"

Kaoru Yutai frowned suspiciously: "Why did he come with me?"

This question was asked a little directly, and he was dumbfounded for a while, and said for a moment: "You see that people are from the capital, and there is no family here." Since you are his second-in-command, you naturally have to take care of it more during the holidays. ”

Kaoru Tantai came to her senses, and it was true that she felt that what he said was reasonable, but the truth was that she didn't know where Ye Chi had gone. However, his life is always simple to the point of monotony, either reading books by himself or drinking with Su Yu in a teahouse.

After eating this meal for a long time, the skills of the cook at home are still amazing, and even the taste is familiar to her when she was a child, and she has eaten too much unconsciously. Ah Yao went to bed early, and went to the side to rest halfway through eating, and finally it became a wine fight between her and Taishu, but unfortunately she couldn't fight her father, and after drinking a few jars, she lay on the table in a delirious mood and fell asleep in a daze.

When I woke up again, I don't know what time it was, it was dark, it seemed to be late at night. What woke up Kaoru was the sound of moving chairs, and when he looked up, it turned out that he had fallen asleep at some point, and the old housekeeper wanted to help him back to the room, and it took a lot of effort to move the strong man away.

"Miss, do you want to go back to your room to sleep?"

"No, I'll go out and sober up. ”

Kaoru Tandai smiled, her face a little red from the strength of the wine. She went to Ah Yao's room to take a look, he was sleeping soundly, and the pillow was held high, as if this could be a little more comfortable.

Ah Yao's physical condition is actually worse than she imagined, but he never complains, but takes care of her.

The evening breeze swept across her cheeks, which was very cool and comfortable, and made her wake up a little at once. The courtyard had been renovated, the soil was loose, and she remembered that the old housekeeper had said that she would plant some camellia here, but the cold weather was coming, and it would take about next year to plant more.

Camellia was her mother's favorite flower, graceful and feminine, and she suddenly looked forward to the next year's garden full of camellias. Deeper and heavier, she was full of alcohol, but she didn't feel sleepy at all, she heard a knock at the door, and went to take a look, and the person who came was Ye Chi.

He walked on the street with two lamps in one hand, and when he saw her, he was obviously relieved, "Seeing that you haven't come back, I thought you ...... You're lost on the road. ”

Yutai Kaoru suddenly remembered that because she didn't see Ye Chi during the day, she forgot to tell him that he might be staying at Tantai's house tonight, and her heart suddenly sank: "You came so late just to find me?"

"Well, just make sure you're safe. ”

Ye Chi smiled warmly with her, as if he had no intention of entering the door, turned around and prepared to leave again, when Kaoru Yutai suddenly stopped him.

"At night, do you really see the way? ”

Ye Chi was a little flattered and followed her into the courtyard.

"Why don't you let Chang Su come?"

"Chang Su had already gone to bed, and it was not safe for him to walk alone at such a late hour. ”

Kaoru Tandai looked back at him in disbelief: "You can't even see the road without a light, are you safe?"

Ye Chi smiled awkwardly, but was clearly happy to see her. Kaoru sat down on a stone in silence and looked up at the moon, while Hachichi just stood silently beside her.

He was still holding on to the four lamps, and the whole person was as bright as a star, and the whole thing was a luminous body in this empty courtyard. I don't know if it's because of the strength of the wine, Kaoru Yutai suddenly laughed.

This was the first time Ye Chi heard her laugh, looked at her with some surprise, and then smelled the wine on her body, and lowered his head and asked, "Are you...... Drunk?"

"Well, I can't drink my dad. She shook her head, hugged her knees and pursed her lips, noticing that Ye Chi was still holding four lamps, and with some amusement, she picked up two stones and lightly placed the lamp in his hand on it, "So you don't have to hold it all the time." ”

Ye Chi nodded, sat down beside her, and suddenly wanted to reach out and hug her shoulder, but in his cognition, his relationship with Kaoru Tantai was not enough to make this intimate action, so he just looked at her quietly.

Kaoru Tai's face was still red, because he was very happy after drinking, and he unconsciously talked more, and said with his eyes closed: "When my mother died, she wore exactly the same official uniform as you. It was winter, it was very cold, and there was a room where the stove had somehow poured, and by the time we found out, it was already burning. ”

Ye Chi did not speak. In fact, he had heard about this past more or less from Master Zheng, but it was the first time he had heard Kaoru Yutai mention it. During this time, he really wanted to ask her too much, but according to Su Yu's experience, if he asked something that shouldn't be asked, he would lose points in Kaoru Tai's heart.

It's terrible, he doesn't want to lose points, even though there aren't many in the first place.

"There were a lot of people at that time, I helped my mother evacuate together, and we could have escaped, but because I was burned by something that fell down, my mother hesitated a step, and just like that, she didn't escape. ”

Kaoru Yutai pulled down the neckline, and there was a clearly visible scar above the collarbone, and the last time Ye Chi accidentally touched this place, the whole person was almost thrown out by her.

Ye Chi looked at the bright four lights between the two, and remembered that the families he had visited had basically lost their husbands in the fire, orphans and widows. I don't know when Kaoru Tantai began to feel responsible to them.

This is not a feeling of compassion, just a catharsis of her self-blame.

Ye Chi wanted to reach out and pat her shoulder, but he thought about it or put it down, but he felt that he should let her lean on, so he struggled for a long time. Kaoru Yuguang caught a glimpse of his movements, frowned, and said, "I'm just getting drunk, and I suddenly want to speak, not for you to comfort me." ”

As she spoke, her head drooped, leaning against the stone and closing her eyes. Although the surroundings were very bright, Ye Chi's eyes were still a little uncomfortable, not sure if she was asleep, but she was inexplicably happy.

Whether she's drunk or not, she's willing to share it with him, and it's a great feeling.

"Kaoru ......"

“…… Huh?" Kaoru Shodai's voice was mesmerized.

"Go back to the house and sleep. ”

“…… Well. "She seemed to be delirious.

After Ye Chi talked to her, he found that she agreed no matter what he said, and he put on her coat a little helplessly, but his eyes suddenly flashed and coughed.

"Don't look for a house, do you?"

Kaoru Yutai's head tilted: "...... Well. ”

"Don't bother with Yuan Ziling, right?"

“…… Well. ”

It was clearly in the evening breeze, but Ye Chi's ears suddenly turned red, and he continued: "Actually, you like ......"

It seems a little shameful to forget it, which is not good.

Ye Chi rubbed his face and found that Kaoru Yutai was unresponsive, and he could even hear a slight breathing sound, probably really asleep. He wanted to send her back to the house, but after thinking about it, it was not easy to hug her directly, and the housekeeper had already fallen asleep, so he found a blanket in the small hall where he usually ate, and carried her to the wooden collapse.

Kaoru Tandai's body was lighter than he expected, curled up in the blanket like a baby, and he was completely unaggressive. After Ye Chi put her lightly on the collapse, the night became even thicker, he looked at her and laughed, and fell asleep unconsciously.

At dawn the next day, the sky was clear, Ah Yao didn't see the old housekeeper when he got up, and when he rubbed his eyes and went out of the house, he only saw four lights in the yard that were out. He walked into the small hall curiously, and when he saw the scene on the wooden collapse, he instantly woke up.

Ye Chi sat straight on the edge of the collapse with his eyes closed, while Kaoru Yutai was lying with a blanket wrapped around his body, stretching out his arms around his upper body, as if this position could make her feel warm.

Yutai Yao suddenly stretched out his hand to cover his eyes, his fingers widened, and he ran around the room excitedly. Ye Chi slept lightly, naturally he was awakened, and when he looked down and found that Kaoru Tai was also awake, his head was propped up on his body, sleepy-eyed, and he looked confused, as if he didn't understand what was going on.

“……！”

Ye Chi's whole face turned red when he brushed it, and he stood up on the ground, and accidentally bumped into the chair behind him, so shocked that he couldn't speak.

It's not right, it's not right...... Yesterday he was clearly just sitting, and he was still far away from Kaoru Yutai, why did he suddenly become like this?!

Kaoru Tantai rubbed his eyes, took off the blanket on his body, looked at the leaf pool in front of him who was so red that he was dripping blood, and asked strangely, "You...... What's wrong?"

Ye Chi rubbed his eyebrows fiercely, struggling to think about whether he had done something crazy yesterday, and he was so anxious that he could see that the clothes of the two were still neat, maybe it was just a ...... Misunderstand?

His Kaoru hasn't really grown up yet, no, no, no, no......

Ah Yao was still covering his face, his bright eyes blinked, looking at Ye Chi's distressed appearance, he was so excited that he couldn't wait to find someone to roar twice, and trotted out in a hurry.

Lord Ye was slept with by his sister, and he was so ashamed that he was about to cry!
