This year's Mid-Autumn Festival Wei Lai followed He Zhi together, the two went to the lantern festival together, bought lanterns, let go of the river lanterns, and then enjoyed the Mid-Autumn Moon together and tasted osmanthus wine. This night passed, but it was rare to be full and relaxed.

After the excitement of the Mid-Autumn Festival night gradually calmed down, it was finally time to separate.

In Wei Lai's life, he has faced too many differences, even life and death. From the initial sadness, to the later numbness, to the current habits, she thought that she would no longer have any emotional fluctuations for this "trivial matter". But at this moment, she still couldn't help but feel a slight movement in her heart, naturally not sentimental, just a little reluctant.

I just thought of her as a friend, and she was the first friend in all these years to listen to me say so much. Wei Lai turned his head sideways to look at He Zhi's soft side face, and said this to himself in his heart.

Just glanced at it twice, and there was still some reluctance in his heart, Wei Lai finally spoke: "It's late at night, there are many people on the street tonight, and it's chaotic, why don't I send you back." ”

When He Zhi heard this, she turned her head and glanced at Wei Lai, smiled slightly, and responded: "Okay." "I don't thank or be polite, this kind of gesture shows that the two are unexpectedly close and familiar.

Wei Lai heard the affirmative answer as he wished, and a smile bloomed unabashedly on his face. Her smile is clean and pure, even if she doesn't have a world-class face, but it is enough to attract attention. It was as if He Zhi was looking at her at this moment, and she couldn't help but be shaken by that smile, and it was rare to have a moment of distraction.

"A big man, it's okay to laugh so good-looking, what are you doing." Xi Qiu, who was following He Zhi, muttered in a low voice. But I have to say that after this night of getting along, her senses for Wei Lai are much better, at least she no longer glared at Wei with cold eyes from time to time like she did at the beginning.

The sound at night always seems to be amplified countless times, so Xi Qiu's whisper, Wei Lai heard it, and He Zhi also heard it. The two of them felt a little embarrassed inexplicably, and they turned their faces away at the same time.

"Ahem, that, I'll take you home." Wei Lai coughed lightly, and no longer looked back at He Zhi, so he walked towards the east of the city first.

"A big man, he's still shy!" Xi Qiu muttered again. Wei Lai naturally heard it, and while the roots of his ears were secretly dyed with a trace of crimson, his steps unconsciously sped up by two points.

Under the moonlight, the man's figure was still straight, and his pace was still steady, but He Zhi, who had always had good eyes, did not miss the momentary pause of the other party and the light red that secretly climbed to the root of his ear. The corners of her mouth unconsciously hooked slightly, and the original intention to stop Xi Qiu's unconcealed mouth was quietly put down.

The south of the capital is far from the east of the city, and it is not far to say that it is not close, and the three of them walked for half an hour before finally arriving outside Hefu. During this period, Xi Qiu didn't say anything embarrassing to Wei Lai after all, but Wei Lai and He Zhi didn't communicate again, and the three of them walked back to He Mansion almost all the way in silence.

The quietness of the road made Xi Qiu feel a little boring and dull, but He Zhi and Wei Lai didn't feel that way. One of them is used to being quiet, so naturally they don't think there's anything wrong with this quietness, but the other only feels that there is an inexplicable peace in their hearts when they walk with the person next to them, and they are naturally more willing to even enjoy the quietness of this way.

It's just that the road is not long in the end, and the three of them finally walked to He Fu.

At this time, the time is approaching, usually it is the dead of night at this time, but today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, in the end there is something different, there are cars and horses passing by from time to time on the streets in the east of the city, presumably they are some young ladies who travel at night, and they are finally returning home at this time.

Looking at these cars and horses passing by, Wei Lai finally realized that He Zhi actually walked back with her. It stands to reason that as the daughter of Shangshu, it is impossible for Miss He to appear without a carriage or sedan chair, and it is impossible for her to walk such a long road from the east of the city to the south of the city. But in the end, she didn't see any trace of the He family's carriage or sedan chair......

I vaguely understood something in my heart, and I was a little annoyed. But Wei Lai is not a reckless person, so naturally he will not ask recklessly, so he had to hold it in his heart, and when he only looked at He Zhi, his eyes became more complicated.

He Zhi didn't seem to realize it, her face was still gentle and gentle, and her voice was as soft as ever: "I'm home." It's not early, and General Xiao Wei should go back to rest early. ”

Wei Lai opened his mouth, but didn't say anything in the end. She nodded lightly and said, "You can go in." I'll watch you enter the door before leaving. ”

So He Zhi didn't say anything more, and after a simple goodbye, he led Xi Qiu to the gate of He Mansion.

Xi Qiu raised his hand and picked up the door knocker and buckled it, and the dull voice came far away in the night. After a while, the door of the He Mansion was also opened. The porter was obviously still waiting for He Zhi to return, and when he saw that she hurriedly said hello and turned sideways to give up his position, he just caught a glimpse of Wei Lai, who was still standing outside the door, and couldn't help but take a second look.

He Zhi didn't say anything, and walked into the door. Xi Qiu glared at the porter, as if with a little warning, but also entered the door without saying anything. The porter touched his nose and did not dare to look again, and soon closed the door again.

Wei Lai didn't stay outside the gate of He Mansion for a long time, almost as soon as the gatekeeper closed the door, she turned around and left, as if she didn't have the slightest attachment. Just as she took a step, she remembered something again - earlier she had been thinking about apologizing to Miss He for He Lin, and the last misunderstanding also needed to be explained, but the two had been together for so long, she actually forgot about it!

A trace of chagrin crossed his heart, but in an instant, he was relieved. Looking at Miss He's appearance today, she must not have taken this matter to heart, right? Then explain it next time we meet, it shouldn't matter.

I just don't know when the next goodbye will be. Or is she about to be disarmed and return to the field, can she wait for the next time? Inexplicably, I crossed my heart, and even the pace of leaving was not as brisk as when I came.

On the other side, as soon as He Zhi entered the house, he was called to the main courtyard.

Although He Shangshu and Mrs. He entered the palace for a banquet today, they came back much earlier than He Zhi. As soon as Mrs. He returned home, she heard that her daughter had not returned from a trip, and she was a little worried, so she never stopped. When He Shangshu saw it, he didn't rest, took the book and looked at it on the side, which was regarded as waiting with her.

I waited until I was near. Even though tonight is the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are always a lot of people going out to play, and it is definitely not early at this time. In addition, He Zhi is not a playful person, so she shouldn't have returned home so late.

Mrs. He finally couldn't sit still anymore and planned to send someone to look for it. He Shangshu was still calm, his eyes moved from the book in his hand, looked at her twice, and said, "Wait, it's time to come back." ”

Sure enough, before He Shangshu's words fell, it was not tea time, and the news of He Zhi's return to the house came from the concierge. Mrs. He finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, but her previous worries made her unable to wait for tomorrow, so she called someone at night.

When He Zhi entered the door, Mrs. He first looked the person up and down, and didn't find anything wrong, seeing that He Zhi's face was still normal, then she complained: "Zhi'er, why did you come back so late?" It's so bad that I have to worry about this scene. ”

He Zhi pursed her lips, but didn't explain anything, only came to Mrs. He's side and pulled her sleeve and obediently admitted her mistake: "It's my mother worried, it's my daughter's fault." This time I just had fun and forgot the time, and I won't be there next time. ”

Of course, Mrs. He will not accuse He Zhi of anything, and if her daughter can have fun, she will be happy too, and she will not pursue anything after only a few words of nagging.

He Shangshu put down the book at this time, raised his eyes and asked with interest: "Zhi'er, are you okay tonight?" ”

He Zhi raised his head when he heard the voice, and the eyes of the father and daughter met for a moment, as if there were a thousand deep meanings in it. After a while, He Zhi nodded lightly, with a slight smile on her face: "It's okay." ”。
