34. Be honest
Su Qing led Aunt Qin upstairs, and couldn't help but peek at her as she walked.
Although the night was cold and dewy, and there was a cool air all over the body, I couldn't see much fatigue from that wrinkled face, and I had to sigh that Aunt Qin, an old man, was really old and strong.
One thing I can't figure out is what I came to Tuzhou from the capital all the way to come to Tuzhou like this.
seemed to hear movement, and when passing through the corridor, Liu Fanghua pushed the door and came out, just in time to meet the two.
The look of surprise on her face flashed, she was stunned for a moment, and in a blink of an eye, she gave a respectful salute and said, "Aunt Qin." β
Aunt Qin glanced at her lightly, and the expression on her face did not change at all.
When he passed in front of him, he didn't pause for half a step, and walked over as if he didn't look at it, leaving Liu Fanghua alone to stand in place.
Su Qing couldn't help but look back, only to see that the thin figure still maintained a slightly leaning posture, his face looked a little innocent, and his eyelashes were slightly lowered, which did not hide the sadness in his expression.
Seeing this kind of interaction, it is inevitable that a strange feeling will arise in my heart.
I don't understand more and more what Aunt Qin's status is in the regent palace.
If it is just a steward of the back house, according to Liu Fanghua's etiquette just now, it is clearly the reserve's respect for the elders, and even if he is given a face like this, not to mention that he is half displeased, but there is a little bit of trepidation that should not be stored.
"You stay outside." Aunt Qin left this sentence, didn't knock on the door, and walked straight into Gu Yuan's room.
Su Qing stood in a daze for a while, and saw that Liu Fanghua had already returned to the house, so he went downstairs to fetch the boiled tea, and stood outside the door waiting, his mind full of random scattered thoughts.
There was a voice in the room, and there seemed to be a faint dispute.
The words fell into my ears in fragments, but I couldn't hear the details clearly.
Vaguely, she seemed to hear her own name.
Her body shook slightly, she subconsciously leaned towards the door again, and was about to get closer to listen carefully, when the footsteps in the house gradually approached the door, and hurriedly avoided it, not to see it.
Just as Su Qing walked to the side to open the door, the door squeaked open.
Aunt Qin's gaze fell on her side face, and she said in a deep voice, "Where do you live?" β
Su Qing immediately stretched out his hand and pointed to the second room on the side.
Aunt Qin said "um" expressionlessly.
After speaking, without looking at Su Qing's stiff expression, a wisp of black shadow floated over like this.
Push the door, enter the house, close the door, there is no superfluous word.
Su Qing's raised hand was still stiff in mid-air, his face slowly turned a little whiter than the original stiffness, and a panicked thought suddenly rose in his heartβwhat is the situation? Could it be that Aunt Qin is going to share a room with her tonight?
I subconsciously imagined the situation when I woke up in the middle of the night and saw Aunt Qin's face, and finally my face was like paper.
Such a picture is so beautiful that I can't even think of it!
Su Qingcheng thought about it for a while, then remembered the newly hot kettle in his hand, knocked lightly on the door, and sent it in: "Master, the tea is ready." β
There is no echo inside.
Gu Yuan stood in front of the window, leaving only a faint back, and in the faint night wind, there was a sense of thinness that should not have been there.
Su Qing thought of the dispute just now, and was silent with interest.
Only the sound of tea bubbling into the pot was left in the room, and the crisp sound of porcelain colliding when the lid was closed was particularly clear and distinct in the silence.
Su Qing re-brewed the tea and wanted to retreat, but when he raised his eyes and saw Gu Yuan's still motionless figure, he pursed his lower lip lightly, and couldn't help but speak: "Master, the night is very cold at night, be careful of the wind and cold." β
She waited for a moment, but still didn't hear back.
His heart sank slightly, and he was about to turn around and leave, when Gu Yuan suddenly said, "Come here." β
There was no one else in the house, and it was only possible to call her.
Su Qing put the kettle in his hand to the side, walked closer, and when he looked up, he was startled by Gu Yuan's expression.
- What's wrong?
I wanted to ask like this, but the words were dumb on my lips, and I couldn't say anything.
In this stunned moment, a hand had already touched her face, gradually touching her jaw along the side of her ear, and her slender fingertips gently rubbed her chin.
His narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and this kind of look was very light and light, but it was enough to make the heart beat in his chest.
She made up her mind, looked up, and met those eyes with a straight look.
--It's not as deep as usual, but it's a more incomprehensible look of chaos like glass.
Gu Yuan didn't expect her to look at herself so magnificently, the color in her eyes flickered slightly, and the movements in her hands paused slightly.
For a moment, the corners of his lips pursed without any warmth: "Look at what." β
Su Qing felt his scalp tingle at this moment, and subconsciously lowered his eyes, and the strength on his jaw was heavy, but he was picked up by this person's slender fingers.
She was suddenly a little baffled.
Do you want her to see it, or don't you want her to see it?
Gu Yuan lowered his eyes, his gaze swept over every inch of her expression, and he was faintly a little swaying.
The conversation with Aunt Qin just now implicated the old things ten years ago.
It was like cutting the scar on his heart alive, which was indescribably heavy and depressing, but at this time, under this faintly concerned and somewhat stunned face, it was inexplicably like a clear spring, and the faintly oozing blood stains were quietly dispelled for a moment.
The room was eerily quiet for a moment, and he suddenly spoke: "Do you remember what you said when you begged me to take you back to your house on the mountain road that day?" β
Su Qing didn't understand why he suddenly mentioned this matter, and he suddenly felt a little panicked in his heart.
Could this person have sent someone to check her details and found something fake? But her forged identities are clearly created by paying a lot of money, and the reputation of the store is very good, so it stands to reason that there shouldn't be anything wrong this time!
After taking a closer look, seeing that Gu Yuan didn't seem to have any anger, his heart settled slightly, and he hurriedly recalled his every move that day, and replied hesitantly: "At that time, it seemed that I was praising the old man for loving the people like a son......
As soon as he looked up, he saw Gu Yuan's eyebrows tighten slightly.
Su Qing's heart was suddenly vigilant, and he changed his words: "No, no, what I said at that time should be ...... It should be ......"
After too long, she had a headache when she thought about it, and she still felt that she hadn't grasped Gu Yuan's point.
I really don't remember!
Su Qing raised his head pitifully, and his whole body froze there under Gu Yuan's sudden leaning posture. It should have instinctively ducked, but it was so shocked that his mind was blank for a moment, and he felt a sudden warmth on his lips without resisting.
The hand subconsciously touched the medicine bottle hidden in the sleeve, held it tightly, and even the wide sleeves suddenly tightened, and the fingertips slowly loosened down.
The night breeze blew between the two, and her eyes opened faintly in surprise.
Nearby, there are thick and narrow eyelashes, like the fluttering of butterfly wings, and there is a layer of extremely shallow blur in the glass-like eyes that has never been seen before, and I can't say what kind of charm and soul dementoring posture there is.
Such a kiss seems to ingest her whole piece of soul bit by bit, like a taste.
"At that time, you said that life is my man, and death is my ghost."
Between the grinding lips and teeth, such words faintly revealed, dissipating around the room, and there was no doubt that they were said like this. After a deep, long kiss, each other could hear some heavy gasps on both sides.
Such a tone entered his ears, and Su Qing's consciousness, which had originally dissipated beyond the nine heavens, drifted back to his mind, and he looked at Gu Yuan after being slightly stunned, with an indescribable strange feeling.
Gu Yuan tonight was really too strange, so strange that he didn't dare to guess the truest thoughts in his heart. What's more, after talking to Aunt Qin just now, his love is obviously more bizarre than usual. Should she believe what she says in this situation?
His heart was still running around, and his whole body felt hot and dry that he had never felt before, but Su Qing's heart was suddenly unusually calm.
According to her past experience, when a person is in a dull mood, all the strange actions can be regarded as the style of making trouble, but at this time, there is no point in testing the truth of his words, all she needs to do is to obey unconditionally.
She looked up at Gu Yuan's eyebrows and pondered for a moment, then hid the speculation in her heart in an instant, took the opportunity to snuggle up to his side, and coaxed in a shy tone: "As long as the master is willing, what he said at that time will naturally be true." If you like this kind of thing, I'll tell you more about it in the future, okay? β
"......" Gu Yuan was silent for a long time in this tone of coaxing children, and said, "I never joke. β
The corners of Su Qing's lips were slightly hooked, and they stiffened there.
However, Gu Yuan had already let go of her: "It's not early, go back and rest." β
Su Qing raised her head in a trance, Gu Yuan had already picked up the kettle and stuffed it into her hand.
He sat down at the table and poured a cup of tea, his gaze faintly falling on the back of the stiff move towards the door.
Su Qing walked to the door with a blank mind, turned around and wanted to say something, when the door suddenly opened.
Leng Buding was frightened, her hands shook, and the entire teapot suddenly fell from her hand.
She felt her body shake, and she was pulled into her arms by Gu Yuan, but when she saw that Lin Ying, who appeared in front of her, she was holding her feet three feet high, and her heart-rending cry of pain suddenly resounded in the inn.
Bu Xianyin leaned against the door, laughing and trembling slightly: "The lady hasn't slept yet?" This tea looks so hot, is it freshly burned? β
Lin Ying's expression was so distorted that Su Qing couldn't bear to look at it.
Overhead, a man's deep but nice voice sounded: "Go back to sleep." β
Only then did Su Qing realize that he was in this person's arms, stood up steeply, picked up the kettle on the ground and fled.
Behind him was Bu Xianyin's gentle and smiling tone: "Didn't you say that dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water?" Looks like Lin Ying's skin isn't thick enough. β
He was responded to by a grunt of pain.
Su Qing didn't look back again, tiptoed back to the guest room, and found that Aunt Qin had already fallen asleep.
She still didn't have the courage to sleep in the same bed, so she found the bed and curled up on the chaise longue outside, looking at the moonlight leaking out of the window in a trance.
There seemed to be Gu Yuan's breath around him, which lasted for a long time, and even vaguely, even the words like the wind fell in his ears.
However, did she just catch this man naturally?
Why are you so unbelieving all of a sudden!?
Subconsciously, Su Qing glanced back at Aunt Qin in the room, and her eyebrows were slightly twisted.
Just now, it was clearly felt that Gu Yuan's mood was extremely unstable after talking to Aunt Qin.
Therefore, what did they say and talk about between themselves, so that even Gu Yuan, who did not change his face when Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, would have such a time when he couldn't control his feelings......
