"Are you thirsty?" After walking a few more steps, Ji Xutu didn't think it, but when he asked like this, Gu Qingwan felt thirsty, so she said, "I'm a little thirsty, let's go faster." ”

"Wait." Gu Qingwan turned around and saw a childlike innocence on Ji Xu's face, "You stand here and don't move, wait for me for a while." ”

In her puzzled gaze, Ji Xu walked under a fruitful pear tree, he grew so tall, so, as soon as he stretched out his hand, he pulled a pear branch in front of him, he smiled, glanced back at Gu Qingwan, and plucked three pears from the tree.

He carefully wiped the pear with his sleeve, and then handed it to her, saying, "Eat, I can't make you thirsty." ”

Gu Qingwan looked at the pear in his big palm, stretched out her hand, took the pear, held it in her hand, lowered her head, and took a bite gently, the full juice slid into her mouth, sweet and delicious, and there was a faint pear fragrance between her lips and teeth, she nodded slightly, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Is it delicious?" With a smile in his eyes, he looked at her seriously eating pears and asked.

"It's sweet, it's fresh, and it's thirst-quenching." There was a look of satisfaction on her face—

"That's good, eat slowly, don't rush, don't choke." He watched her eat the pears he had picked with his own hands, and he felt that it seemed to be the happiest thing in the world.

Behind the hidden woods, Zizhu saw this, and she wanted to lift the branches and go out, telling them about the current situation on the hunting ground.

"Wait." However, Nameless held out his hands to stop her, saying, "It's best not to show up now." ”

Zizhu looked at him suspiciously, and said, "Why?" Someone will be looking for it soon. ”

"I think about it every day, there are several portraits in the study, all of which are painted by His Royal Highness himself, His Royal Highness will always stare at the portrait in his spare time, not only that, but he has refused one marriage after another, and it seems that he is determined to guard himself for the county lord for a lifetime, and now he finally has some time alone, he must hope that time will stop. So, if we run out and disturb at this time, will he want to kill us? Nameless said with a smile as he clasped his hands around his chest.

Zizhu understood the meaning of Nameless's words, so she slowly retracted the foot that stepped out, and continued to follow not far away, doing a drip-proof protection.

Although her master was Chen Yuan, when she heard Nameless's words, she still felt compassion after all.

In the future, the master and the county lord will have time to get along, and King Yujiang is destined to ask for it......

Gu Qingwan lowered her head and finished eating a pear, and when she looked up, she found that Ji Xu had been looking at her with a smile, she hadn't eaten anything, her face suddenly felt a little hot, how long had he been looking at her like this?

She dodged her eyes for a moment, and handed him the one that was left in her hand, "Won't you eat it?" This pear tastes really good, better than any pears I've ever tasted. ”

"Okay, I'll eat." Ji Xu took the pear, took a big bite, and took half of the pear off in this bite, and said with a smile, "Well, it tastes really good, and it quenches your thirst." ”

Gu Qingwan saw that he was always laughing, and he never stopped, and couldn't help but say, "I never knew that His Highness liked to laugh so much. ”

In her past impression, Ji Xu always looked calm and light, never taking everything in the world to heart, how could there be such a time to laugh all the time.

"Really? Am I laughing all the time? He pinched his face with two fingers and said with a smile, "How did I not know?" ”

When such a tall man pinched his face, it was really ...... It's a bit of a discord.

"You're always smiling, and people who don't know think we're on an outing." Gu Qingwan stroked her forehead, aren't they equivalent to "fleeing" now? He was really more optimistic than her, a person who had seen through two lives.

"Really?" He touched his angry face again, and said, "Then it's better to take it as an outing." ”

"......" Gu Qingwan suddenly felt that the man in front of her was innocent like a child at the moment, so her mood also relaxed, and a smile appeared on Qiao Liming's face, and said, "Then continue the outing." ”

She laughed!

She smiled, and he suddenly felt his whole world light up.

The two of them continued to walk forward, and when they went downhill, there were many stones on the road, and Gu Qingwan's feet were unstable, so she slid forward-

"Be careful!" Ji Xu immediately reached out and grabbed her hand, holding it between his big palms.

"It's okay, the road is a bit steep, and I accidentally stepped on a stone." She pulled her hand out of his, stroked her heart, and said.

"Wait a minute." Ji Xu took off the white-skinned fox cloak on her body, walked in front of her, draped her on her body, carefully tied the strap at her chin, then turned around and squatted down, and said, "I'll carry you." ”

"No need, I can go by myself." Gu Qingwan subconsciously refused.

Thinking of Ji Xu's feelings for her, she felt that she still avoided suspicion and didn't give him hope.

"Come up, I'm here, how can there be any reason to let you go uphill, what if you fall."

Seeing her refusal, Ji Xu did not give up. Just leaned back, took her hand, and with a little force, let her lie on his back, stepping on the stones under his feet and walking down the slope.

"Huh? You ......" Gu Qingwan didn't expect Ji Xu to be so strong, and resisted: "Lord Wang, I can go by myself, you don't have to carry me." ”

"It's quicker to go back that way, and if you twist your foot, won't you go back more slowly. And liking you is my business, you don't have to have any burden, maybe one day this king will have no feelings for you? You don't have to hide from this king, otherwise how will we cooperate in the future? ”

"You promised?" Gu Qingwan looked at Ji Xu in surprise, he agreed to cooperate with her!

"Didn't our cooperation start a long time ago?"

After getting Ji Xu's promise, Gu Qingwan suddenly became happy, she didn't twist or resist, thinking that it would be faster to go back like this, so after a pause, she hugged his neck with both hands.

Ji Xu carried her on his back, walking forward step by step, feeling the soft little body behind him, and there was a natural faint fragrance on her body, which faintly lingered in his nose, making his heartbeat become a little disordered.

"Thank you, Lord Wang." Gu Qingwan lay on his back and said sincerely.

"You and I just take what we need, and you don't have to feel guilty or grateful to this king." There was no rise or fall in his voice, as usual.

Gu Qingwan knew that he was cold-faced and warm-hearted, and he just didn't want her to be burdened by saying this.

She made up her mind that she would do her best to help him ascend to the throne in the future to repay his kindness.

"Lord Wang, Sister Huan'er is a good girl, she is very good, Lord Wang can consider it." Gu Qingwan remembered Tang Huan'er who she had seen beside Xiao Lan, a gentle and decent, elegant and generous person.

If Ji Xu marries her as a princess, she will not only be able to marry a virtuous princess, but also gain the support of the family behind her.

"Huh......" Ji Xu's feet suddenly slipped for a long distance, and his back shook, Gu Qingwan hurriedly grabbed it, looked down at the long traces of the soles of his feet slipping on the road, and asked:

"Your Highness, what's wrong, am I too heavy, let me down."

"Ahem......" Ji Xu coughed lightly, hiding his embarrassment, and said, "It's not heavy, it's not heavy, you don't have to come down!" I have known Huan'er since childhood, I know how she is, it is because she is a good girl, I can't marry her, I only treat her as a sister, if I marry her, it will be the worst for her. ”

"I'm sorry Lord Wang, it's me who is too talkative." Gu Qingwan was a little annoyed, she shouldn't interfere in his affairs.

"It's okay, you don't have to explain, I understand." Ji Xu smiled bitterly.

He understood that it was because of her guilt that she would think of other ways to make up for him.

He understood that her heart was already in another man, and no matter what he did, she couldn't possibly like him.

Then let him keep this love in his heart!

He continued to carry her on his back, and after a while he heard the sound of horses' hooves tapping and tapping, and the faint sound of calling.

"Someone is looking for it." Ji Xu said, walking out of this woods, the journey of the two people alone is over, and they are greeted by the changing world outside, full of scheming and struggle, and every step is like walking on thin ice.

"Let me go." Gu Qingwan's heart also swelled with the same feeling, that moment with a faint pear fragrance, as she walked out of this wood, it was frozen in the depths of her memory.

He crouched down, lowered her off his back, turned around, and faced her—

She took off the cloak on her body, handed it to him, and said, "This time, I want to thank the prince for his help." ”

Ji Xu looked at her, his eyes were as clear as water, as deep as a pool, and said, "No thanks, you forgot, we are allies." ”

"Yes, we're allies." Gu Qingwan had a smile on her face, and inadvertently glanced at the scratches on the back of his hand, her heart trembled, and she asked, "Did you scratch?" ”

Ji Xu raised his hand and looked at it casually, and said indifferently, "This little injury, if it's not in the way, it'll be fine all at once." As he spoke, he shook his hand, looking unconcerned.

"Don't move." Gu Qingwan took his hand unexpectedly, his palm was as big as hers, the ten fingers were slender, the bones were distinct, and it was very beautiful, and those few marks looked a little abrupt on the back of the white hand.

"You ......" Feeling her soft and soft fingers, against his palm, Ji Xu's hand moved slightly, and his heart was like a feather gently brushing, throbbing.

She bowed her head, took out her handkerchief from her sleeve, circled his palm, turned it twice, and then tied a knot in the palm of her hand, and then let go of her hand and said, "The prince is because I was injured, and I should bandage the prince." ”

When Ji Xuting heard this, he was stunned, "It won't be the meaning of Liangqing." ”

Gu Qingwan smiled and said, "You forget, we are allies, so this is helping each other." ”

"That's still acceptable." Ji Xu looked down at his neatly wrapped hand, and said with satisfaction, she is really a clever person, and he feels very happy to wrap his wound so well.
