Xia Ziyan's voice floated over, seemingly in a joking tone, but it was not mockery, but the tone of using jokes to dilute the embarrassing situation. Compared with him, who has always seemed bland and even indifferent, he seems more real and kind at this moment. Wu Yan secretly turned his head sideways to check his expression, his quiet side face was covered with a layer of gentleness, and a sudden afterglow swept over, colliding with Wu Yan's gaze, Wu Yan hurriedly closed his gaze, naturally did not see a trace of smile on his side face, soft and warm.

Wu Yan quickly picked four lotus leaves and held them above his head like an umbrella to keep out the rain. The two walked quietly in the noisy rainy night, Xia Ziyan suddenly sang, his voice was very low, like a folk tune, although the lyrics were simple and direct, the song was unexpectedly melodious and good, Wu Yan listened to it once or twice, and then gently reconciled, Xia Ziyan stopped singing.

The long rain is long, I don't know how long it will take, Wu Yan glanced at Xia Ziyan's back, felt that the clothes on his body were the same color as the frog, and couldn't help but smile secretly, the hotness on his face was diluted by the night breeze, she couldn't help but gently urge, "Why don't you sing, it's me who is too heavy." ”

Xia Ziyan's tone lost the previous banter, and he was calm and serious: "No, in fact, you are not serious at all. ”

"But I'm really good at eating, not as slender as my sisters and sisters......"

"Don't worry, you're so light that I can carry you all the way to the Tianshan Mountains. ”

"You're lying. ”

"I'm not lying. ”

"That'...... Then you can sing another song. ”

Although she could sing, her singing voice was incomplete, Xia Ziyan heard that Wu Yan wanted to sing but her own singing voice was unbearable, so she opened her mouth to sing with her.

Finally from the dark courtyard to the courtyard gate, they collected the singing, along the corridor turn, suddenly the bright light from the eaves under the row of scattered, the surrounding silence, still can not hear a little human voice, and finally even the sound of rain, frogs, wind can not be heard, Xia Ziyan in front of a row of rooms in a certain door open, the room is dry and warm, the lamp lit in the room illuminates everything brightly, the incense burner on the table is incense, a trace of wind blows in with them from outside the door, the wisp of cigarette curls away, the fragrance just fades a little, and the curling cigarette emits out from the incense burner, adding the fragrance in the house again。

Xia Ziyan put Wu Yan on the soft chair, turned around and took two dry towels from behind the screen, and asked Wu Yan to dry his wet hair first. Wu Yan spread the wet hair behind his head, and when he looked up, he found that the room was empty and lonely, and Xia Ziyan didn't know where it was.

But after a while, Xia Ziyan pushed the door in, and said with a smile: "The people took advantage of the heavy rain to be lazy, fortunately, everything in the guest room is ready-made, I found you a set of clean clothes, you will change the wet clothes later, wash your body with hot water to warm up, if you are hungry and eat something, or sleepy to rest, wait until tomorrow, and then send you back." ”

Wu Yan held the towel and nodded, maybe it was blown by the night wind all night, and when he entered the warm and dry room at this moment, the whole person was feverish, and the whole person was a little dizzy. Coldly unable to bear a shadow on herself, she suddenly woke up from her thoughts, and found that Xia Ziyan's face was already close in front of her, with gentle eyebrows and a smile, and asked herself softly: "For the sake of safety, you have to follow me over if you are wronged." ”

Wu Yan let out an "oh", suddenly her body was volleyed, and the whole person was hugged by Xia Ziyan, it came too suddenly, her heartbeat was even faster, and she was beating violently in her body.

"What are you thinking?"

Xia Ziyan asked her, but it didn't seem like she wanted her to answer, and said in a blink of an eye, "If your foot is sprained, don't soak your foot in hot water." ”

Wu Yan nodded, and found that behind the screen was not a wooden barrel full of hot water and steaming, but a wooden cabinet and a dressing mirror, on which antique toys and large and small potted plants were displayed, which was very simple and elegant. There is a small carved door next to the cabinet, which leads to another room. It's smaller than the room just now, there is no inner room bed, and at a glance, you can see the head, there is a bookshelf bookcase, like a study. There are also potted plants on the high stool under the window, and there is a couch on the window, and a small table on the couch is placed with seasonal fruits and small snacks, which are served on palm-sized plates, which is very exquisite. They walked up to the bookcase, and saw a painting hanging on one side of the bookcase, two people wide and high, with a beautiful woman the size of a life, standing behind a door, smiling.

Xia Ziyan stood still in front of the painting and said to Wu Yan, "Push the door." ”

Wu Yan was puzzled, but still did the same, pushing the door where the beauty was standing, only to feel that the tentacles were extremely cold and hard, and there was no change.

Xia Ziyan said again: "Push another door." ”

As soon as he pushed it, he heard a "squeak" sound, Wu Yan was taken aback, and before he could withdraw his hand, Xia Ziyan had already raised his feet and walked in.

The room that appears on the painting, or rather, the room hidden behind the scroll, is smaller than the previous study, and looks like a miniature version of the previous two rooms, fully decorated and more ornate, with a carpet on the floor that is curly and soft, and there is no sound of walking. There were bookshelves, sittings, cabinets, etc., and there was a bed, and there was a screen opposite the bed, and when Wu Yan saw a one-person wide beaded curtain behind the screen, he knew that this obviously led to another room.

Wu Yan thought to herself, this master deliberately designed the guest room like this, whether he deliberately appeared to be different, or intended to tease the guests, this room is one by one, I don't know when it will be the end.

The carpet is no longer laid under the bead curtain, and the stone steps go down, there is a whole piece of flat marble, reaching out to open the bead curtain, there is hot air or gathering or scattering, and a hot water pool with two beds wide appears in front of people. There is a carved hanger by the pool, on which is hung a large handkerchief, next to a low table there is a change of clothes, and there is a low stool next to the low table, which is placed on the edge of the pool, but I don't know what it is for.

"It's inconvenient for your feet to go into the water, so I moved a low stool for you", Xia Ziyan put Wu Yan on the edge of the pool, glanced at Wu Yan, and seemed to be still a little uneasy, "Or, you should find a maid to serve you, in case you slip into the pool and can't stand up with one foot, this pool will become a soup pot." ”

The embarrassment on Wu Yan's face was instantly amused, and in a blink of an eye, Xia Ziyan had already turned around and went out, leaving her with only one sentence, "It's okay later, call me." ”

Wu Yan said "um", and the room was quiet again, and the sound of the bead curtain being opened and falling could be heard, and the wooden door "creaked" twice, which was opened and closed.

After Wu Yan cleaned herself up, she didn't call Xia Ziyan, there was no trace on her ankle, and the pain before was imperceptible, so she slowly walked out of the small room on the painting alone.

When he came out, it was still raining outside the window, Xia Ziyan had also changed his clothes, his long hair was scattered and fell on his face, sitting quietly on the couch in the study, bowing his head on the chessboard on the small table, white and black, he was playing against himself, he was melting in this rainy night with his eyes down, red candles weeping, the lights were picturesque, he was like a painter.
