Chapter 10: The Plum (10)

She stared back at Tao Xiang angrily, and was about to burst out with a sentence of "What are you going to do", but when she realized that this was still in the living room, she forcibly held back this sentence.

Her eyes widened and she bit her lip.

Tao Xiang behaved very normally in front of people all night, I don't know if I want to stay to embarrass her at this time, but fortunately, no one else was present...... His long legs were deliberately folded, and the tips of his shiny boots dangled in front of her.

Jingyi endured it and went around to pick up the pen holder and paperweight. Fortunately, it fell on the carpet, neither damaged nor dusty. She wiped her bottom with her handkerchief and glared at him again.

Tao Xiang raised his chin slightly, and looked at her with reddened eyes.

He seemed to be distracted, and his gaze locked her on.

Jingyi stood up and waited for him, and then said again, "Go up and rest." ”

She had the heart to ignore him, so she let him sit here, but no matter what, at this time, she couldn't do it.

"If you don't go up, I'll go up first......" She took the warm pen holder and held it between her arms. There was a slight smile on the round and beautiful face of the plum lady on the pen holder, and the subtle cracks were like her laugh lines...... It's a beautiful thing. Old, elegant, wonderful...... A shadow hung over the lady's face. She didn't have to look up to know that it was Tao Xiang who got up. She put away the pen holder and leaned over to him.

Tao Xiang stood in front of her, and couldn't see anything else, only felt that her two rows of long eyelashes were neat and neat, curled outward, like a peacock opening the screen, trembling from time to time.

He rolled his eyes away and went upstairs first.

Jingyi walked slower and kept up.

Zhang's mother came out at this time and called "young grandma" and asked if there were any other instructions.

Jingyi stopped, and then said to turn off the lights.

Zhang's mother agreed, saying good night to the young master and young grandmother.

Tao Xiang only hummed, and his footsteps did not stop.

One by one, the lights went out, and the living room went dark.

Jing Yi saw that although Tao Xiang was full of alcohol, his actions were quite dexterous, and she thought that he might not be good. didn't want to be around the corner, but Tao Xiang held on to the wall. Only then did Jing Yi know that he was indeed a little drunk. She subconsciously reached over to help him. It was only just now that he grabbed his arm, but he pushed her hand away.

"Be careful." Jingyi said softly.

Tao Xiang leaned against the wall and looked at her.

The light in the upstairs porch couldn't shine so far that he couldn't see her face clearly, and her voice was a little farther and closer...... He turned around and walked more slowly. He stepped up step by step, and the slow time seemed to freeze the frame.

Jingyi was just careful to prevent him from falling, and didn't insist on stepping forward to help him.

I'm still a little angry in my heart, this person, I don't know what to do...... Even so, she still called Zhang's mother in a low voice.

The voice was very low, for fear of alarming people.

She held on to the railing and waited, feeling that Mama Zhang was clever and would not let her shout a second time. Sure enough, Zhang's mother appeared at the bottom of the stairs in a moment, turned on a light, looked up and asked her what she wanted.

"Go and prepare a bowl of hangover soup for the young master." Jingyi said.

Zhang's mother nodded and went.

Jing Yi watched her navy blue figure move away quickly, was stunned for a while, turned her head to look at Tao Xiang, and still went upstairs unhurriedly, almost walking upside down. She wasn't in a hurry, she just followed his steps upstairs. The two seemed to be competing to see who could walk more slowly...... When I reached the end of the stairs, I was covered with fine beads of sweat.

She called Qiu Wei to come and gave her both the pen holder and the paperweight. remembered that Tao Xiang had the habit of taking a bath before going to bed, and I didn't know if I still had to wash it when I was drunk like this, or I told Qiu Wei to put the bath water and said, "Turn on the hose and put it aside, I'll turn it off." Just rest and go. ”

Qiu Wei retreated silently.

In just a few moments, Tao Xiang was already out of Jing Yi's eyes - Jing Yi walked through the living room and saw that Tao Xiang had entered the bedroom. It seemed that he had arrived in a strange place, and he looked around before going to bed.

Jingyi wanted to call him to change his clothes, but it was too late, so Tao Xiang turned around and lay down on the bed. His body fell like a sandbag, and the soft bed sank into a large chunk.

"Miss." Qiu Wei came out of the bathroom and whispered to her.

Jingyi waved her hand to let her go.

Knowing that Qiu Wei was worried that she wouldn't be able to cope with it, she said, "Go ahead, it's okay." ”

Qiu Wei waited for Zhang's mother to bring the hangover soup and helped bring it in before closing the door and going back to her room to rest.

Finally, Jingyi was left alone against Tao Xiang, who was still stable.

Tao Xiang lay on the bed without moving, not even taking off her boots, she couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

Asked him to get up and drink the soup, but he didn't react.

She suddenly remembered that the bath water was still in the bathroom, and hurriedly ran in to turn it off. The bathroom was steaming, the mirror was covered with a white mist, and she looked back at Tao Xiang—this is what she meant by not getting up to take a shower anyway—she took a towel and hot water, and wrung a handful of wet towels, trying to give him a face.

The towel was a little hot, and he wiped his face, but he still didn't react at all.

Jingyi had never taken care of people like this, and suddenly felt a little flustered, threw the towel in the basin, and reached out to probe his snort...... For a moment, she didn't seem to feel him breathing. His heart was stunned, so he had to come closer—his breathing was slow, and the smell of wine was heavy, and he was a little cold.

She was stunned for a moment, looking at the mustache that appeared on his square chin and the frowning brow in his sleep, and before she knew it, her hand fell, and above his hot lips, the mustache pierced her fingertips, and there was a tingle...... She was shocked and was about to stop when he grabbed her hand.

Jingyi was frightened and didn't move. Not knowing what he was going to do, he pushed her hand away again and rolled over as if impatiently.

Jingyi was frightened by this, and she didn't dare to alarm him anymore, so she simply threw him there, opened the door and walked out of the bedroom, and stood in the living room for a long time, her heart still beating wildly. Seeing my things piled up everywhere in frustration is another kind of annoyance. She found the key to the cage and came out, opened the boxes one by one, and checked them.

In fact, there was nothing to pack, and before leaving home, my mother carefully marked what was in the box, wrote it down in a special small ledger and handed it to her—which box was winter clothes, which box was summer clothes, and which box was spring and autumn...... The boudoir is soft, and my mother doesn't know how long it took to prepare all the colors for her. There are also some valuable things, which are also specially recorded. Especially a few antiques that Du's mother picked out for her, saying that they were placed in the room and put them on display, and when she saw them, she thought that her mother's family was also by her side, or she could relieve the pain of homesickness...... She took one of them out.

In the royal blue brocade box, a white jade Guanyin.

In fact, Du's mother wanted this Guanyin statue that she had placed for more than ten years to marry her, so as to bless her......

Jingyi went back to the room with the statue of Guanyin in her arms, and looked around, such a large bedroom, but she couldn't find a suitable place for a while. Suddenly, I saw Tao Xiang still lying on the bed like that, not even covering the quilt...... If it goes on like this, in case it catches a cold, it must be a story, or is she not falling.

She had no choice but to put down the Guanyin statue and walk over. If you want to cover him with a quilt, you have to take off his boots first.

His boots were tight. She broke the soles of her boots and took one off with great difficulty. I couldn't help but hold it in my hand and wanted to hit his head with the sole of my boot, but as soon as I lifted it, his arm shook a little, and she was startled and hurriedly put the boot behind her...... Luckily, he just rubbed his nose.

Jing Yi threw down the boots in her hand and took off another one for him.

"I knew it earlier...... Let you sleep in the living room......" she muttered lowly, taking the quilt out of the cupboard and covering him. Seeing that he was still wearing his shirt and breeches, he went over for a while and unbuttoned the collar for him. The belt was also tightly fastened, and she looked at it, but she couldn't let go of it...... His body was really heavy, but fortunately she was trained, and she still had some skill in moving people who couldn't move. Rao was still sweating from exhaustion, so he could lie upright on the bed. Cover him with the quilt again, and she has no strength to think about anything else.

Forcefully went to wash her face, came back and hurriedly lay down on the bed, almost the moment she turned off the bedside lamp, she fell into the dark sweet country...... It was just that perhaps it was an illusion, as if she had heard a pleasant grunt before this.

It's just that I'm so sleepy that I can't tell whether it's a dream or reality.

She was dreaming of a white lion. The fluffy white lion, rolling in front of her with its paws to the sky, touching its head, it will lick her hands......

……

Tao Xiang opened his eyes, and it took a while to realize where he was.

He turned his head to look, and Jing Yi curled into a small ball, on the other side of the bed, a distance he couldn't reach with his outstretched arms.

He glanced at his watch, and it was already past his daily morning exercise. My head was a little heavy, and I still drank too much wine last night. He can only remember how he got up, and the aftermath is vague.

He moved, found that his clothes were in good condition, and glanced at Jingyi again before getting up and entering the bathroom.

After washing it out, he saw that Jingyi was still in that position, and couldn't help but walk over and turn on the bedside lamp on her side - her sleeping appearance was still dignified under the light. It's just that some of them are too dignified, as if they can't relax even in their sleep, and he looks at it for a long time before turning off the lights and leaving.

Tao Xiang went downstairs and went out, Tu Huyi was already waiting for him here. There is also Cen Gaoying on the side.

He didn't want Cen Gaoying to wait here in the morning, and listened to Cen Gaoying's report while walking. Walking to the gate, Cen Gaoying also finished reporting and waited for his instructions.
