"Knock knock!" Suddenly, there was a sharp knock on the door, and Murong Chenyi frowned slightly.

Could it be someone in the palace who is in such a hurry? He frowned, and walked to the door with a robe on.

The door was opened, not from the palace, but the person who came was even more unexpected to him.

"Luo'er?" He was slightly surprised, how could she come to him at such a late hour?

"Chen...... Chenyi, I'm ...... I have something to ask you. ”

He nodded, and when he saw that the person was panting, he led her into the inner room, took the blue and white porcelain cup on the table, poured the tea, and handed it to her.

Xia Qianluo took a sip, wiped the tea stains on his mouth, and put down the porcelain cup in his hand.

Seeing her anxious appearance, she couldn't help but have a smile on her lips, "What is it that makes you so anxious?" As she spoke, her eyes fell on her half-wet hair and dress, and she couldn't help frowning slightly, "Why are your clothes wet?" If it hadn't been raining before? ”

Xia Qianluo waved his hand disapplausively, he didn't go back to change into dry clothes in order to wait for An Yiran. "Let's not talk about that, I have something important to ask you!"

"Whatever is important, it's all about getting out of your wet suit right now." The voice is dangerously serious. Murong Chenyi said that he had taken clean clothes, "Quickly change it, it's not good if you catch a cold." ”

Looking at the plain and elegant gown handed over, Xia Qianluo was stunned, this is Chenyi's clothes......

Looking at the person standing there and not moving, he was suddenly stunned. Why did he forget that she was no longer the little girl who could hold hands and hug at will? He turned sideways and stopped looking at her, handed over his robe and whispered, "Go and change behind the screen, be careful of catching a cold......"

Do you change it in Chenyi's room...... Xia Qianluo took the neatly folded plain robe, her fair little face couldn't help but blush slightly, and she nodded lightly, "Hmm......"

Behind the screen, Xia Qianluo took off her half-wet dress and suddenly blew in a gust of wind from the window, only then did she feel a little cold. So she hurriedly put on Murong Chenyi's robe, and a faint fragrance surrounded her for a while. This is the smell of Chenyi...... Biting his lip slightly, his face couldn't help but blush again.

Slightly sideways, amber eyes glanced at the pearwood edging screen on the side, and the graceful figure was reflected on the huge translucent carved topaz embedded in the middle. Looking at the unclear outline, he lost his mind slightly, and in four years, she had grown into such a stunning and exquisite woman. It's just that...... There was a thick layer of sadness in his obsessive eyes.

"It's huge." Xia Qianluo walked out wrapped in a wide robe and smiled. Seeing that Chen Yi is so thin on weekdays, I didn't expect to put on his clothes to know that it was so wide.

Murong Chen came back to his senses suddenly, looking at the person who walked out from behind the screen, wrapped in his clothes, his little hands that couldn't be stretched out, and his long sleeves were flicked, as if he was singing, and the long corners of his clothes were dragged to the ground, making the person in front of him look extremely petite and lovely.

He smiled, walked over to the man, and gently rolled up his long sleeves.

Looking at the handsome man with his eyes rolled up his sleeves, the candle flame on the side cast a faint shadow under his long eyelashes, and the candlelight reflected his face a little blurry but so beautiful. Xia Qianluo was stunned, as if he had lost his soul.

"What were you going to ask me just now?" He looked up at her.

Xia Qianluo hurriedly came back to his senses, and stomped his little foot lightly, "Oops! Look I almost forgot! ”

Murong Chenyi rolled up his half-grown sleeves and smiled lightly, waiting for her next.

"Chenyi, An Yiran's past, do you know?"

The hand that rolled up the sleeves paused slightly, and An Yi...... Did you come to yourself in such a hurry, just to ask about him? As if his heart was blocked by something, he pursed his lips.

"Chenyi?"

"Hmm." He nodded slightly, and when he looked up at her, his eyes were already gentle.

"On the surface, An Yiran is the son of Taiyi An Rufei, but this is not the case."

Xia Qianluo nodded, it seemed that it was really as she guessed......

"According to my men, he was the illegitimate son of his mother and others. It is precisely because of this that An Rufei used him as an excuse to kill his mother, and then imprisoned him in the basement for eleven years. Until ......" eyes as clear as amber looked at her, "your appearance." ”

Xia Qianluo looked at the person in front of him in a daze, his eyes were full of shock, he didn't expect it...... I didn't expect An Yiran's life experience to be like this......

Looking at the stunned person, her amber eyes darkened slightly, Murong Chenyi pursed her lips slightly, did she care about him so much?

"I see." Xia Qianluo nodded, and was about to walk out of the door as he spoke, but he stepped on the hem of his clothes that was dragging on the ground. "Ah......" The whole person lost his center of gravity and leaned forward.

Slender arms reached out and gently grabbed her. With his hands on his solid chest, Xia Qianluo finally calmed down his heartbeat, but he heard a soft voice in his ears, "Why are you so ......careless?"

Standing firm, Xia Qianluo raised her head, but saw that the vermilion lips were so close to her, as if she could kiss her only by tiptoeing. Her heart, which had been calm, jumped uncontrollably, and she blushed and hurriedly fled from that embrace.

Murong Chenyi looked at the person who hurriedly retreated, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, since when did she become so unfamiliar with him...... Is it because she's grown up, or because of ...... Ann as well?

"That'...... That one...... I'll go back first. Purssing his face and not daring to look at him, Xia Qianluo stammered.

He came back to his senses, looked down at the wide hem of his coat that was dragging on the ground, and crouched down and tied a knot at the fork in the hem so that it would be shorter so that he would not trip. Slowly stood up, smiled and looked at the person in front of him, "Be careful on the road." ”

As long as she met those beautiful eyes like amber, her heart beat uncontrollably. In a panic, he hurriedly staggered his eyes, Xia Qianluo bit his lip and nodded, "Hmm...... Well. ”

Smiling as he watched the man leave, he watched until the petite figure disappeared from sight. The gentle smile on the corner of his mouth slowly dissipated, and in an instant, his handsome face was already worried. The amber eyes were heavy, long lost their softness and clarity.

Will she be like that after all...... His brows were furrowed, like a thick ink that could not be dissolved. She was innocent, but why could she only be like this...... For the sake of recovering the country, whether or not, he really doesn't care about anything......
