19. A Sleepy Dream (21)

She rested on his arm, listened to his breathing, and gradually sank, presumably asleep...... She was also a little tired, but for some reason, she just couldn't sleep tonight.

Turning over and over, it seems that there is a sea of roses in front of me, and even the nose is full of rich floral fragrance.

I heard the dog barking dimly, as if it was far away.

She rolled over, touched Tao Xiang's body, and fully woke up, the barking of the dog was near. She opened her eyes, sobered up a little, and recognized that the barking of the dog was in her yard, and that it was probably a white lion. In the deep night, the barking of the white lion became louder and louder, and there was a taste of hoarseness. It's been a while, and it's not stopped.

Jingyi began to feel uneasy. It was the first time that the white lion had barked so wildly since he came to them.

She got up and got out of bed quietly, put on her clothes and went out of the room, and pulled the lamp rope with her hand, and the light came on for a while for her to get used to the light, and then she went to the balcony - she looked at the floor clock, and it was two o'clock in the morning, when the night was at its deepest...... From the balcony, only the white lion was seen in the courtyard, barking in the direction of the gate.

The shadow of the white lion in the shadow of the tree is a little blurred.

Jingyi clapped her hands lightly, and the white lion stopped barking. But it was only a moment before he screamed again. Jingyi was worried about going downstairs, but she saw that there were lights under the corridor, she paused, and saw that it was Zhang's mother carrying a lantern from the corridor to the direction of the white lion...... Before the white lion could walk to his side, he jumped out.

I could hear Mama Zhang's low scolding, because I was worried that the white lion's barking had alarmed people. After a while, Qiu Wei also went out. Jingyi quietly retreated. When I turned around, I saw a light flickering outside. The light moved quickly, into the distance...... Jing Yi thought that maybe it was a night patrol, so she turned around and closed the balcony door.

The white lion finally stopped barking, and the surroundings fell silent again.

Jingyi went back to the bedroom, and Tao Xiang was still sleeping deeply.

She got on the bed lightly, and was just about to lie down, when she suddenly heard two gunshots, she subconsciously reached under the pillow and touched the back of her hand before she could touch the gun.

She had a cardiac arrest, and before she could recover herself, she heard Tao Xiang's deep voice: "I don't need it." ”

"You've been woken up too?" She went limp, and fell beside him. Leaning on his scorching body, he immediately felt a little more steady. "It's close to hearing the gunshots."

She was guessing where the gunshots were coming from.

Tao Xiang still held her hand and said, "Sleep." There are also guns that go off the rails. Ask someone tomorrow morning. ”

"Hmm. Weird and scary. She whispered.

"Can this still scare you?" Tao Xiang's low, lazy voice shouted a little banter, "You dare to shoot a gun." ”

Jingyi snorted softly, but did not speak.

There were so many things that happened that night that she always felt nervous.

Tao Xiang didn't speak, just held her hand and pulled it to his side......

When Jingyi opened her eyes the next day, Tao Xiang was no longer around. She got up and freshened up before he returned. When he had finished eating, she cursolutly flipped through the paper. When Tao Xiang came down, she just closed the newspaper and asked, "Go to deliver Mr. Fei today?" ”

Tao Xiao nodded, seeing that Jing Yi had an unexpected look on his face, he smiled and said, "This face is still for him." Besides, the French ambassador and his wife will arrive later, and my father and mother will also be on the plane, so it would be better for me to come there earlier. ”

Jingyi listened to his arrangement, nodded, saw if it was early, and urged him to use it early. His trip today is a big event, and it can't be delayed. She remembered that they had arranged to visit Dunhuang in the hospital, and when she looked at Tao Xiao, who sat down to butter the bread, she asked, "Then don't you have time today......?"

Before she finished speaking, she saw Tao Xiang say for a long time: "Yes." You don't like your father and mother to pick you up. Later, I will visit Dunhuang with you. ”

Jing Yi frowned slightly and said, "How troublesome should this be?" ”

"No trouble." Tao Xiang said, with an unquestionable look. Jingyi was helpless, so she had to listen to his arrangement. Thinking of going out with my in-laws, and on such an occasion, it is inevitable to dress up solemnly. She looked at herself. When Tao Xiang saw her like this, he said, "That's good." ”

Jing Yi looked at herself, it was a very simple turmeric crepe de chine short cheongsam, and it was very acceptable to change a set of jewelry. She was already afraid of trouble, and as soon as Tao Xiang said this, she pushed the boat with the water. Suddenly, he thought of what happened last night and asked, "But do you know what happened last night?" ”

Tao Xiang picked up the coffee, took a sip, and said casually without raising his eyes: "Big brother's over there." No big deal. ”

He flipped through the newspaper and didn't seem to take it seriously. Jing Yi thought about it, but she still had some doubts, but she didn't ask any more questions. She glanced at the white lion lying in the corner—perhaps the same as last night, and this morning it was sleeping in the corner without moving—and she whispered, "You slept well now, and you were so tormented last night." It's not okay to keep doing this, who can stand it? ”

Tao Xiang listened, and the corners of his mouth curled.

Waiting for the two to use it early, Tao Xiang said: "I'm in a hurry to go out, you can say hello for me." ”

Jingyi nodded and walked out with him.

When they arrived at the door to part ways, Tao Xiang said: "Biquan and Wufang are on the same plane as the ambassador and his wife. ”

Jingyi stopped and looked at Tao Xiang.

"Really?" Jingyi was pleasantly surprised, "Why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

"It's not too late to tell." Tao Xiang said.

"You're hearted!" Jing Yi said loudly, her face flushed, obviously happy.

Tao Xiang smiled and said, "Biquan is on official business, accompanying the ambassador and his wife on their visit; Impeccable is both a business and a private matter, and the main thing is to come to see you. ”

"I know." Jing Yi smiled a little smugly and waved her hand to let Tao Xiao go. Now she has a lot of expectations for going to the airport. I was so excited that my palms were sweating.

Tao Xiang smiled and turned around to leave first.

After walking a few steps away, she looked back and saw that Jingyi was still standing at the gate of their courtyard looking at him, and her smile was extra bright in the morning light......

Jingyi is in a good mood, and her steps are brisker.

Qiu Wei followed behind her and looked at her funny. The master and servant discussed this unexpected joy, and soon arrived at Xuanrui Hall.

Entering the door, Qiu Wei noticed something unusual first, and she quietly reminded Jingyi. Jing Yi was on the rise, and she didn't pay much attention to it, until she entered the upper door, and she felt that there was silence inside and outside Xuanrui Hall today.

Old Madam Tao was in the inner room, and there was only Madame Tao in front of her.

Jingyi went in to say goodbye, and both of them responded. Old Madam Tao asked Jingyi to sit too. Jingyi sat down. She quietly looked at the expressions of Mrs. Tao and Mrs. Tao, and the believer was a dignified - the faces of the two of them seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.

Old Madam Tao said in a deep voice: "We are actually dead!" ”
