Chapter 65: Overboard

"Really, then why did he look at you that day and smile so happily!" Cao Fu seemed to listen to Xiao Gong's defense and asked.

"Did the gentleman laugh that day? The slave and the maid didn't know, the gentleman talked to the slave and the maid, but he knew that the slave and the maid had a good place to go. As for whether the gentleman smiled at the slave maid, the slave and maid really don't know. "I didn't know how to make up this question, so I had to say that I didn't know.

"Really?" Cao Fu seemed to be even more shaken, and his eyes became much softer from sharpness, presumably because the "misunderstanding" was resolved, and his beloved was not happy that he didn't like other women.

"The slave doesn't dare to deceive Miss, how dare the slave compare with you...... Miss Cao, it's really time for the slave to go......." Xiao Gong saw that he had an opportunity, and hurriedly lifted the food box and begged.

"It's time to go......" Cao Fu seemed to have become much kinder all of a sudden, and he actually let go.

"Thank you, Miss Cao, the slave will retire, and it won't hinder your eyes again!" Seeing that she agreed, Xiao Gong didn't dare to continue walking, so he hurriedly saluted and stepped back. After walking a few steps, seeing that Cao Fu and Jin'er didn't come forward to stop her, she picked up her pace and turned around and walked in the direction she came.

Not far away, there was the wooden bridge she had just walked on. It is said that the water here is bottomless, and it is the only lake in the Yusen Palace that is not a hot spring. She can't swim herself, so she's still a little timid about walking here. If it was a stone bridge, she would be better, but this wooden bridge also looks like it has a certain sense of age, and the "squeaky and squeak" sounds like it now, which makes her scalp numb and frightened.

However, Murong Shuo misestimated Cao Fu's jealousy, and she also misestimated Cao Fu's strength. Even if what she said made sense, there was a person like Cao Fu on the other side, and she was really afraid of something. When she saw Cao Fu, she was frightened and wanted to escape, which had already proved that Cao Fu was dangerous to her. She didn't dare to look back, but her ears kept standing up, listening to the movement behind her.

However, before she stepped on the wooden bridge, there seemed to be only the sound of the wind behind her, but when she just stepped on the wooden bridge, there was a "creaking" sound in her ears, she only felt that the cold hairs behind her seemed to stand up instantly, and she just wanted to look back, she felt that her back was pushed violently, and she suddenly lost her center of gravity and staggered forward.

The food box in his hand fell to the ground, and without this burden, Xiaogong was freed from both hands and could grab the railing to save himself. But the person behind her didn't give her this opportunity at all, the food box just fell, and before she had a chance to reach out to save herself, the hand behind her grabbed it again, and once again pushed the small gong vigorously, this time, the small gong that couldn't block the two attacks was directly centered on the railing, flipped around and fell into the lake.

"Save .......'s life......" The lake water that has entered autumn is cool to the bone, and Xiaogong's frightened heart is stimulated to shrink violently, and it is more and more restless and wild. The fear of water made her thrash as hard as she could, but her body continued to sink, and large gulps of water poured into her mouth and nose, blocking her from contact with the air, quickly depriving her of consciousness.

The originally clear surroundings quickly disappeared from the blur of far and near in the line of sight, as if the whole world was centered on itself, and began to collapse and disappear from all around, without notice, without sound, the light was quietly swallowed, the clear was swallowed, and the unclear was swallowed, and the whole world was only left with itself, but when he was quietly swallowed by the darkness there was no warning, no sound, no consciousness......

Am I going to die? Where am I now? My ears hurt...... I have a sour nose...... I...... I don't want to die! I ...... But ....... so cold.......

I don't know how long it took to lose all my senses, and the closed senses reopened.

It's so warm...... It feels ...... Is it Murong Shuo?

"Poof-" A mouthful of water spit out, and the perception of the surroundings came back again, the body was warm, and the cold of the soaked dress outside the body was blown by the cool breeze, but it was not so shivering.

The spirit slowly recovered, the heat in the body did not decrease, and the little gong that warmed up his hands and feet finally opened his eyes, and felt that he was sitting, leaning on something behind him.

Murong Shuo, who felt Xiao Gong's awakening, gradually weakened the transmission of internal force, but he did not withdraw his hand, facing Xiao Gong with his back to him, he spit out a sentence that Xiao Gong couldn't expect for a long time: "I'm sorry ......"

"Is he apologizing to me?" Xiao Gong turned his back to Murong Shuo, and heard his apology in a trance, and said in disbelief.

The curious little gong didn't know if it was because he had just escaped death, and his brain circuit had not yet functioned normally, so he forgot what it meant to turn his head and plant it backwards. Fortunately, Murong Shuo just withdrew his hand to catch her, so she avoided falling to the ground and instead lay down in Murong Shuo's arms.

"You ......" Xiao Gong paused a little hard as soon as he opened his mouth to make a sound, and swallowed his saliva before continuing, "Are you deliberately smiling at me because of this?"

"I didn't know she would be so ruthless......" Murong Shuo looked down at Xiao Gong, who was soaked and began to tremble because he withdrew his hand, and said with real guilt.

"You are so smart and can see through people's hearts, why did you miscalculate on this? If you want to kill me, wouldn't it be better to give me a good time by doing it yourself?" said Xiao Gong, his nose couldn't help but sour, and his voice became more and more hoarse.

"I'm sorry ......"

Murong Shuo had nothing to say, only this sentence contained his sincerity. looked at Xiao Gong's eyes full of apologies, complete guilt, which made Xiao Gong's heart tremble and believe his apology.

But as soon as he believed his apology, Xiao Gong's nose became even more sour, thinking of what happened after meeting Murong Shuo during this time, the tears of grievance fell all of a sudden, but she stared at Murong Shuo with stubborn eyes, and let the tears keep flowing, even she didn't know why she was doing this.

Looking at the little gong that had been crying in his arms, Murong Shuo suddenly panicked. Feeling the trembling body of the person in his arms, he didn't know what to do, so he could only take the little gong hand, and hold his fingers together to continue to transmit internal force to her body to help her ward off the cold.

Neither of them spoke, but Xiao Luo kept looking at Murong Shuo, and although Murong Shuo deliberately wanted to avoid Xiao Gong's gaze, he was still sincerely sorry when he looked at her. Involuntarily, he stretched out his other free hand and gently wiped away the tears on Xiaogong's cheeks. Gentle movements, warm fingers, taking away the coolness of tear stains blown by the wind, Xiao Gong's heart trembled, as if something had broken out of the shell, and the tears broke the embankment again.

Only this time, it was a release of tears that had been suppressed for a long time. Tears flowed, stress and unhappiness flowed, and fear and resentment flowed away.

The little gong in his heart was relaxed and unconsciously smiled. Seeing that she finally smiled, Murong Shuo also showed a relieved smile along with her.
