When Gu Yunxi turned over and woke up, it was already dawn.

Her mouth was dry, and her forehead hurt as if it was about to crack. When she got up, the moment her feet touched the ground seemed to be stepping on cotton, and the sudden dizziness made her numb body sit directly on the ground.

"Awake?"

The young man's warm and soft voice overflowed from the back room.

Gu Yunxi set the rules for him, if you want to eat and drink well in the Admiral's Mansion, you must stay in the back room honestly during the day, and you can't move out an inch.

"Hmmm......"

Gu Yunxi rubbed his aching buttocks and got up, and when he saw the wine jar on the table, he immediately woke up.

"I—I ...... last night"

She looked nervously behind the beaded curtain in the inner room, her little face flushed, and she bowed her head in shame.

I was in a bad mood last night, and I actually learned from the people in the market to hide in the house and drink alcohol, but in front of that handsome swinger, I was so frivolous!

God knows, after I got drunk, did I do anything more out of the ordinary-

"Last night you got drunk, and you fell asleep on your stomach!"

In the back room, the young man said lightly, but he didn't mention to her the plot of someone snuggling in his arms and messing around.

The strange sound of "poof, poof" attracted Gu Yunxi's attention, she walked to the bead curtain and looked in, and saw that the handsome boy got a branch out of nowhere, and was sitting cross-legged on the ground, and the dagger in the other hand was repeatedly cutting on the branch.

"What are you doing?" Gu Yunxi lifted the curtain and asked curiously.

"Can't you see it?"

The man in white asked a slightly cold rhetorical question, and he didn't even lift his eyelids. In his hands, the speed of the knife is getting faster and faster, and the force is also a little heavier.

Last night, Gu Yunxi's drunken words made him feel that he had fallen into a hurry, and his mood of tasting wine was instantly shattered.

Anyway, he himself has also fought with the big eunuch of Dongchang, looking at that person's age, he is old enough to be the uncle of this little girl, how can she be in love with her?

Outside, the north wind was bitter, and the momentum was getting worse, and the hour was indeed too late.

The young man was suddenly depressed, let go of the empty cup, and picked up Gu Yunxi, who was sleeping deeply, with both hands.

In the past few days, the sword wound on his arm has healed, but he can still feel tenderness when he exerts force. The young man endured the pain and walked slowly and steadily, for fear of disturbing the drunken beauty in his arms.

Laying her flat on the bed and covering her with the quilt, he turned back to the house and lay down on the floor in silence.

All night, he lay in the back room and could hear clearly, and in the bed in the outhouse, she shouted "Overseer" in her dreams for the night......

"Who are you, Admiral Dongchang?" The sharp blade swept over the ginger wood and stopped.

His voice was slightly hoarse, but not emotional.

Now that man has woken up, he has to find out.

After hesitating for a moment, Gu Yunxi said silently:

“…… What do you care......

Then the resentful eyes drooped, and the delicate face instantly gathered infinite gloom.

"Are you going to say it or not?!"

The young man continued to slash the branches with his dagger, and the sound of friction was like a slap, and it was unusually dull and abrupt in the quiet room, like a stirring of anger. At this time, he was desperate to know the answer, but he was afraid of the answer.

“…… He watched me grow up, and he ...... Very good for me......"

Gu Yunxi was helpless, and his answer was roundabout.

"Oh? So what about ......"

He stopped his movements again, and a pair of brilliant and clear purple eyes stared at her, and his lips pursed into a shallow smile:

"So, you're in love with him?"

Love–

Gu Yunxi's heart shook violently, his expression was cramped and uneasy, and he was silent but did not refute anything.

The young man snorted coldly:

"At a young age, do you understand the love between men and women? A eunuch is a eunuch, and if you follow him, you are entrusting your youth to a eunuch......"

"Shut up—"

Gu Yunxi suddenly turned his face and sharply interrupted the words of the man in white.

He was stunned and speechless, raising his eyes and staring at her in a daze, his eyes quenched with incomprehension and pity, dignified and complicated.

Shrouded by this pair of eyes, Gu Yunxi's restless mood calmed down inexplicably, and after a sigh, he said to him slowly:

"I won't let you say that...... him"

"You are willing to follow him just to repay the favor, that kind of affection is not love!"

The young man's expression was determined, and he lowered his head to avoid Gu Yunxi's stunned expression,

Continuing to swing his knife at his branches, he whispered:

"It's just that you met too late......"

——

After a few days, the injury on the young man's right arm had healed, and he gradually could not be closed in the house.

Every morning, before dawn, he slipped out of the back window of the back room and disappeared.

Until dinner time, he slipped into Gu Yunxi's room through the back window to eat.

Gu Yunxi is no longer afraid of him now. At first, she was still on guard, Cheng Su didn't sleep well, and then after a contact, he was also well-behaved, and the two lived inside and outside the house.

Early this morning, Gu Yunxi found that the young man was nowhere to be found.

The mother-in-law in the courtyard came on time to add charcoal to the stove in the house, and Qing'er brought breakfast and put it on the table.

"Alright, close the door, and you can go out."

In order to prevent the secret of the inner room from being discovered, Gu Yunxi still put on a cold face, and once the house was almost cleaned up, he would push his subordinates out.

The dark shadow at the door flickered, and Xiao Xiaoshen hurriedly entered the house.

"You?" Seeing him coming, Gu Yunxi was so shocked that his back felt cold, and he stood up from his seat.

Xiao Xiaoshen frowned first, and waved his hand out of thin air,

"What does it smell like in this house! Sister Yunxi, I have something to say to you! ”

"Xiao, Brother Xiaoshen, let's go out and talk!"

Afraid that he would wander around the house, she grabbed his arm and walked out of the house.

"What's the matter, it's weird and cold outside, just say it here!"

Xiao Xiaoshen didn't know what to do, and stopped after taking two steps.

Qing'er couldn't look at it, so she came over and pushed him:

"Why are you, scaring our girls again! How do you say that you can enter the girl's boudoir, and you don't know the rules, ah? ”

"Go, stay and go!"

Xiao Xiaoshen glared at her fiercely, and her mood was not very good.

"Brother Xiaoshen, you are looking for me...... Is there something wrong? ”

Gu Yunxi pretended to ask, thinking about how to send him and Qing'er out.

Xiao Xiaoshen looked at her face, distressed and a little resentful.

After being stuffy in the room for a long time, Gu Yunxi's whole person was reduced twice, his skin was pale and dry, and he returned to his previous state of being sick.

"Look at you, what has become of you! Sister Yunxi, you can't do this! If you keep your mind stuffy for a long time, you will get sick. ”

The overseer left Beijing, and Xiao Xiaoshen lived in the outer courtyard of the Admiral's Mansion these days. During the day, I went to the East Factory and did the things explained by Master Cheng Wanli.

He and Qing'er both knew that Gu Yunxi was making a temperament, and after several days, they couldn't see her figure, and Xiao Xiaoshen couldn't help but worry about her.

Today, he decided not to wait any longer, and even if he dragged his Yunxi sister out of the house.

Her body is good, if she is pressed by heavy thoughts, it will be strange if she doesn't get sick.

Qing'er stood aside, looking at Gu Yunxi's eyes with worry.

Thinking about it, the young lady has a lot of appetite recently, and a lot of the food brought into the house has been eaten by her, but instead of gaining weight, why has her become more and more thin? The mental state of the face is not very good.

Worriedly hugging the young lady, Qing'er asked slowly:

"Girl, are you feeling unwell, I'll go and invite Imperial Doctor Jiang over to give you a pulse."

"I'm fine, don't worry."

Gu Yunxi gently pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled at her tiredly.

"Yunxi, what the hell do you think?"

Xiao Xiaoshen suddenly stepped forward and asked her pointedly.

Gu Yunxi looked stunned:

"What do you think? Brother Xiaoshen, what do you mean? ”

"You and the Overseer!"

His eyes were blazing, looking directly at her sickly melon seed face, and he was blunt.

Gu Yunxi's eyes suddenly dimmed, and he was ethereal.

"I said what are you doing!"

Qing'er was worried about Miss, so she came over and pushed Xiao Xiaoshen twice, signaling him to stop pressing Gu Yunxi.

He didn't seem to hear it, and continued to ask:

"Yunxi, everyone can see that the Overseer has you in his heart, but what about you? What do you think, do you love him, do you love him or not? ”

Love?

Gu Yunxi and the little maid Qing'er were flushed at the same time. Qing'er was young, so she directly covered her face with her hand.

Gu Yunxi's expression was stunned, and he slowly moved his confused gaze to other places, walking back and forth hesitantly, as if he was thinking about something.

Love......

A few days ago, the mysterious young man had also mentioned this word to her—

"Brother Xiaoshen, what is love?"

When she looked up again, her eyes were clouded with tears.

"Love is to want to be with him without hesitation. I don't care about his shortcomings, I want to follow him at any time, and I never abandon him. Tell me, Yunxi, do you love the Overseer or not? ”

Xiao Xiaoshen held Gu Yunxi's shoulders with both hands and said emotionally. A pair of eyes looked directly at her facial features, seriously looking for answers.

"I—I don't know if that feeling is love. But I know that if I don't see the Overseer for a day, my heart will be empty. Only he is there, and I feel grounded......"

With tears in his eyes, Gu Yunxi put his hand on his chest with a solemn expression:

"Brother Xiaoshen, you said that growing up is to put a person in your heart. Now, I'm sure I've grown up, because I can feel that he's in my heart! ”

"Go find him!"

Xiao Xiaoshen suddenly became excited, and pulled Gu Yunxi and said:

"Yunxi, if you love him, go to him! Let's go, let's go now, I'll take you to Jiang'an to find the Overseer—"

……

When Gu Yunxi was packing, the young man entered the house through the back window.

"You're back? I—I'm going to be away for a while......"

Gu Yunxi saw him pick up the curtain and walked out, hurriedly stopped the half-cut package, and looked at him a little embarrassed:

"I'm sorry, I can't take care of you anymore. The food on the table is not cold yet, so you can eat it while it is hot. ”

"You're going to find that eunuch, right?"

Gu Yunxi's face was surprised: "You, you know my name?" ”

"It's not the first day that the guard ran under your porch to make noise......

The young man smiled lonely, as if he was talking to himself:

"Yunxi, the name is so nice...... Did the eunuch give it to you? ”

Being stared at uncomfortably by his strange gaze, Gu Yunxi lowered his head with a delicate blush, his fingers stirred at will~ the hair hanging from his ears, and replied in a low voice:

"Who remembers the things of the hour...... You—sit down and eat......"

The young man's handsome face had a complicated expression, and he stood at the table with his eyebrows twisted, facing a table of sumptuous meals in a daze, as if he had lost his appetite in the past.

With two packages neatly slotted, Gu Yunxi swept away the haze of the previous few days, and his mood became much more comfortable.

Thinking that she was going to go far away, she wished that she would give birth to a pair of wings and get to the Overseer's eyes as soon as possible.

Realizing that the room was unusually quiet and that she could not hear the young man eating, she turned her head to look at him.

Suddenly, the silhouette of the bleak and clear made her heart feel an indescribable melancholy.

"Can you tell me, your name?" The separation was imminent, Gu Yunxi couldn't help but ask.

After all, during the time he spent in the same room, he did not lose his frank and gentlemanly spirit. It is not rude to ask him who his surname is.

"My surname is Lu ......"

The young man smiled affectionately at Gu Yunxi and replied softly: "Lu Qiange, my name is Lu Qiange." ”
