In the inner room, Xi Yan huddled in the corner of the bed, "Don't come...... Don't even come here......"

"Master," a few girls who were waiting on the side were helpless, and when they saw Wen Shaoqian coming, as if they had seen a savior, one of them hurriedly and anxiously greeted her and said, "You persuade Miss, she has been hiding there since she woke up, refusing to take medicine, and not letting the slaves and maids serve." ”

"Bring the medicine, and you all go down." Wen Shaoqian waved his hand helplessly.

"Yes." The clever girl blessed him, hurriedly brought the medicine bowl to the small table on the side, and silently led the rest of the people to retreat.

"Xi'er," Wen Shaoqian said softly, "What's wrong?" You're usually very well-behaved, why don't you drink medicine today? ”

Xiyan hugged her knees and trembled, her nails sunk deep into her arms, and she was unconscious.

"Xi'er ......"

"Don't come here...... No...... Don't ......"

"Xi'er, don't be afraid, I'm the big brother, you look up, it's the big brother." Wen Shaoqian persuaded over and over again in a soft voice, until Xiyan reacted slightly.

She raised her head in a daze, there seemed to be a hint of clarity in her red and swollen eyes, and muttered, "Big brother...... Big brother ......"

"It's me, Xi'er, it's me." Wen Shaoqian said cautiously, "Big brother is here—"

"Big brother-" Xiyan woke up like a dream, and suddenly threw himself into his arms and cried loudly, "Big brother...... The bad guys are coming...... The bad guys are bullying me again...... You save me, don't let him bully me, don't let him beat me! Help me......"

"It's okay...... It's okay, Xi'er...... It's all gone, you see, there are no bad people here, no one will hurt you......" He whispered comfort, like a child, patting her on the back, "those things...... It's all gone...... Xi'er, it's all over......"

"No, no," she shook her head desperately, her little pale face full of tears, "he just came again...... Right here, right here! I see it! He grabbed me...... He also ...... "Xiyan couldn't cry, clutched Wen Shaoqian's clothes tighter, and looked around with big eyes in fear, "He's still coming...... And come to bully me...... ...... who will still bully me" Tears couldn't stop falling, and in a moment, he wet his placket.

Wen Shaoqian hugged her distressedly, gently and patiently comforted, until Xiyan's breath slowly stabilized, and he was willing to nest in his arms and listen to him, he was shocked that the two were so close......

I couldn't help but look at the door.

At some point, the royal blue corners of the garment had disappeared.

Wen Shaoqian sighed almost inaudibly, lowered his head and continued to coax the stunned girl in his arms softly......

………………

Xiyan was physically and mentally exhausted, and was coaxed by Wen Shaoqian for a while, and finally stopped crying, only staring at a pair of empty eyes, snuggling in his arms like prostration. Wen Shaoqian didn't have time to pay attention to any male and female defenses at this time, so he simply let her lean on herself like this, took the medicine and fed her one bite at a time, and carefully wiped the corners of her mouth with a silk handkerchief before helping Xiyan lie down.

"Sleep, sleep." He whispered in his ear.

Yuyan stared blankly at the bed tent above his head, and then slowly, closing his eyes.

………………

When Wen Shaoqian came out of the room, Li Xuan was still standing in the courtyard with his hands in his hands.

I don't know if it's his illusion, but I always feel that this figure blends into the late autumn scenery, and it is inexplicably a little lonely.

"Sunset...... Okay? He heard footsteps approaching, and he didn't look back.

Knowing that the other party couldn't see it, Wen Shaoqian still nodded, "I've taken the medicine and I've fallen asleep." ”

"She's with you...... It's very close. ”

The people behind him were silent.

"But she doesn't recognize me......" Unable to hear the other party's response, Li Xuan smiled self-deprecatingly.

Before that, he had also fantasized about the reunion scene countless times. Can be ...... alone I didn't think it would be like this.

It's like a stranger...... No, not even a stranger, in her eyes, he is just a villain who wants to defile her!

"After Xi'er left the palace...... I have endured a lot of hardships," Wen Shaoqian hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke slowly, "Perhaps, it is far more bitter than you think." She was really scared that she would become like this...... You...... Don't blame her. ”

Li Xuan turned around, his angular side face still shrouded in shadows, "She's ...... this year Finally...... What have you been through? ”

………………

The thick smell of medicine lingered in the room, as if even the air was filled with bursts of bitterness, and he almost choked on tears.

Xiyan's small body curled up in a ball, shrunk in the corner, and slept very unsteadily. Fine beads of sweat kept oozing out of his forehead, and his delicate and small facial features were wrinkled together, as if he would cry at any time.

"Don't be afraid, Xiyan...... Don't be afraid......" He reached out and stroked her frowning brow, whispering softly.

Xiyan's body moved uncomfortably, as if nostalgic for the temperature of his palm, and his small hand unconsciously covered his hand, clutching it tightly. "Li Xuan......" she choked up, like begging, "Li Xuan......"

"I'm here, I'm in the ......"

Touching the unevenness on her wrist, Wen Shaoqian's words suddenly sounded in her ears, "...... Although he saved his life, his spirit collapsed...... I often hallucinate, and I seek death again and again......"

He almost trembled as he took her hand, taking a closer look at the faint light cast through the window.

On the slender and white wrist, several deep and shallow scars lay on it hideously.

Fingers rubbed slowly over those scars......

The chest is a heart-rending pain.

"I'm sorry...... Sunset ...... I'm sorry......" He bowed his head and kissed the wounds, forcing himself to imagine how painful each stroke must be.

He has done this to her, and he has done so much to her......

When I woke up like a dream, I vaguely heard someone calling his name over and over again in his ear, and he didn't know when his hands were wet, and it was cold and cold. She struggled to take a look, but her eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and no matter how hard she tried, she could only look at a vague figure...... His mind was obviously blank, but his heart suddenly throbbed badly, tears fell uncontrollably, and the words came out of his mouth involuntarily, "Li Xuan...... Don't go, don't leave me...... I'm scared ......."

The man's body stiffened, and in a trance, he had already held her tightly in his arms, "I'm not leaving...... I'm not going anywhere...... Don't cry, sunset...... Don't cry anymore......" The calloused fingertips panicked and carefully brushed the tears from her face.

What a familiar embrace......

She was reassured, and finally stopped crying and slowly quieted down. Trembling hands wrapped around his waist, as he had done every time he was a coquettish child, he leaned his little face against his broad chest, sobbing and muttering like a child, "Hmm...... Brother Li Xuan didn't leave, Brother Li Xuan accompanied Xi'er...... Xi'er is the most obedient......" After speaking, she fell asleep with him on her pillow. (To be continued.) )
