Chapter 49: Waiting for Him
Between her and Ning Feixue, sooner or later there will be a battle.
That night, Shu Qingyue waited until late, but she still didn't see Ning Sichen come back.
The lights in Shu Qingyue's room went dark, and the entire East Garden fell into darkness in an instant.
On the couch, Shu Qingyue was lying on her side, her eyes were closed lightly, but she hadn't fallen asleep yet. It was pitch black all around, and it was surprisingly quiet, and the needle drop could be heard, but there was no sound in the next room, and he hadn't come back yet.
It was the first time that Shu Qingyue was so eager to hear someone's voice, as long as she heard his voice and knew that he was back. However, until Shu Qingyue fell asleep, Ning Sichen did not come back.
The next day, Shu Qingyue got up early in the morning and saw that the door of Ning Sichen's room was closed. She knocked on his door a few times, but there was no response, and there was no one inside.
Did he not come back all night, or did he go out again very early?
"What about your marshal?" Shu Qingyue asked the soldiers guarding the garden.
"Miss Hui Shu, my subordinates have never seen the marshal." The soldier was very respectful to Shu Qingyue.
"When did you change jobs?" Shu Qingyue asked again, when she came back yesterday, it was not this soldier who guarded the garden.
"Ugly." The soldier replied.
When it's ugly? She only fell asleep when she was a child, and the soldiers changed their posts when they were ugly, didn't Ning Sichen come back all night last night?
Shu Qingyue didn't ask the soldiers where Ning Sichen went, and if she asked, they shouldn't know.
That day, from morning, to noon, and then to afternoon, Shu Qingyue didn't see Ning Sichen all day.
What did he do? Shu Qingyue doubted in her heart, and the day passed so absent-mindedly.
It was getting dark fast.
After Shu Qingyue had dinner, she stayed in the yard all the time, and when she was tired of standing, she asked Xiaoqing to take a soft cushion and spread it on the stone chair, and sat down on the stone chair.
"Miss Shu, it's windy outside, you better go back to your room." Xiaoqing said to Shu Qingyue.
"I'll be out for a while, and if it's cold, I'll go back to my room." Shu Qingyue said. "It's getting late, so you can go down and rest."
"Miss Shu, don't catch a cold." Xiaoqing said a word of advice and left.
The sky was completely dark, and the dark blue night sky was not a single star.
The tea on the stone table was already cold, and Shu Qingyue didn't know how long she stayed in the cold wind, until she heard footsteps from far and near outside the garden. The footsteps were hard and steady, it was him, I don't know when she remembered his footsteps. Shu Qingyue turned around and faced the gate of the East Garden, just as Ning Sichen walked in from outside.
Ning Sichen walked into the East Garden with one foot and also saw Shu Qingyue sitting on the stone chair.
"It's so late, why haven't you slept yet?" Ning Sichen walked over and asked her.
"Waiting for you." Shu Qingyue said.
In the dimness, her face was not too clear, but a face that smiled softly was like a rare treasure, exuding dazzling brilliance.
At this time, she is so beautiful, and she doesn't know it!
For a moment, Ning Sichen actually looked at her a little dazed.
"Is there anything on my face?" Shu Qingyue saw that Ning Sichen had been staring at her face.
"Nothing." Ning Sichen retracted his mind and looked elsewhere. There was a pot of tea on the stone table beside Shu Qingyue, and there was still half a cup of tea left in the cup on the left side of the teapot, but it had long since lost its temperature. Looking back at Shu Qingyue again, she shrunk her arms, her body trembled from time to time, and her face was even more pale and colorless, how long had she been sitting here? Or how long did she wait for him in the cold wind?
"How long have you been sitting here?" He asked her.
"Two hours." She was so cold that her voice trembled a little, but she could still say with a smile.
Two hours? Ning Sichen couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows.
"Don't you know how cold it is outside, and you still stay for two hours, and you don't even take your body seriously." Ning Sichen said very sternly, and he was even more angry.
Shu Qingyue didn't expect Ning Sichen to get angry, and the smile on his face immediately retracted.
"If there's anything, let's go back to the room first." Ning Sichen said, took off his outermost clothes and draped them on Shu Qingyue's body.
Shu Qingyue stood up, because she had been sitting for too long, her legs were a little numb, she didn't stand firmly, and the whole person fell to the ground, and Ning Sichen grabbed her arm with his hand. The moment his hand touched the crook of her arm, a cold current spread from her body to his palm, and he felt her arm cold even through the clothes.
After Shu Qingyue stood firm, Ning Sichen let go of her.
The two went back to Shu Qingyue's room together.
Ning Sichen walked straight to the tea table, he wanted to pour her a cup of tea to warm up, but he just picked up the cup on the table, but he didn't find the teapot, thinking about it, the teapot on the stone table in the courtyard was taken out of the room.
"Someone." Ning Sichen shouted outside the room.
A soldier quickly came in.
"Go get a pot of hot water." Ning Sichen explained.
"Yes." When the soldier turned to leave, Ning Sichen stopped him again.
"Bring the hot water first, and then let the kitchen boil a bowl of ginger soup." Ning Sichen said again.
"Yes."
The soldier went out at a rapid pace, and when he came back, he carried a pot of hot water in his hand.
Shu Qingyue just stood aside, watching Ning Sichen call the soldiers, he seemed angry, but she could feel that he was actually worried about her.
