Chapter Eighty-Four: I Regret It
The two entered the house one after the other, and in the silent staircase, only the sound of feet creaking on the stairs creaked.
Qin Chaolu carefully hid all kinds of distractions, trying his best to maintain a respectful and humble posture.
She thought that Ye Liuhuai probably didn't want to have anything to do with her, so she should be aware of current affairs.
Nightstream noticed this, and deliberately stopped and waited for her to come up. But, when he stopped, she stopped.
He was slow, and so was she, always keeping a distance of five steps.
He looked sideways at the opposite wall, and behind the slender and upright figure on the wall, another shadow, weak and small, grovelling, seemed even more humble and small than the one he had seen her.
Obviously, a few months ago, this girl was still smiling with her teeth and claws, and she still treated him, put him-
He thought of the moment when she pressed him against the wall, and the eyes that were wide open, trying to hide but not being able to hide the shyness and fear, gradually enlarged in his memory at this moment.
The words that the girl had said, the expressions she had had, were stacked layer by layer, and then slowly crushed and soaked into his blood, blending into the flesh and bones.
His fingertips froze, and a feeling of empathy and integration crept into his heart, and suddenly he didn't know how to face her.
It's his fault, it's he who made her like this.
But he didn't want to, and the more she had to grovel and distance herself from him, the more restless he became.
And the picture in that illusion always reminds him of the arrival of that moment, he has a sense of powerlessness and insecurity that what he wants is about to go away, and he can't grasp it, and that feeling forces him to say, "Actually, I ......"
Qin Chaolu lowered his head and listened.
Ye Liuhuai raised his eyes, looked at the shadow, and said word by word, "I, I regret it!" β
The shadow is still hunched, maintaining a respectful and humble posture, silent and unmoved.
Yeliu's eyes dimmed, and he stared unwillingly for a long time, and he didn't see the shadow loosen for a long time, and soon heard that the person behind him responded, so he had to accept his fate, she probably gave up completely.
Hiding the loss and pain in his chest, he took a few quick steps and turned into the corner of the stairs.
Qin Chaolu waited for him to turn around the corner, where he couldn't see, before he stopped in place and secretly trembled.
He said he regretted it and that she should have been happy.
But the pride in her heart made her not want to agree so easily.
She Qin Chaolu is not a clown who comes and goes as soon as she is called, why is she at the mercy of others again and again.
Even if this person is something she loves deeply, she doesn't want to.
She took a deep breath, her eyes slightly reddened, her body a little weak from trembling, and she held on to the railing with both hands, dissatisfied.
Night flow, if you miss it, you miss it.
I've been given two chances, I didn't take it, who is to blame.
With a cold heart and a much indifferent expression on his face, Qin Chaolu straightened up and walked the remaining steps, turned around and walked into the room with light.
It is said that if you look out of the window of this room, you can see the whole picture of her house, and I don't know if it's true.
Qin Chaolu raised his head and subconsciously looked out the window, but the next moment Ye Liuhuai turned around at the top of the head.
She naturally gathered her mind and continued to hang her head.
"Sit down."
"Yes." She bowed her hand and sat down.
But Ye Liuhuai suddenly followed, moved the chair behind her and moved it to the top, sitting right across from him, just across a table.
Qin Chaolu's whole person became nervous again.
Ye Liuhuai added lightly, "If you sit too far, it's easy to be distracted." As the saying goes, the most successful students are often the ones who sit across from him. β
Qin Chaolu's breath tightened, thinking that it would be easier to be distracted by sitting too close. And what is this called.
But fortunately, the room was dimly lit, and the candles were hung on the wall, and the candlelight shone down and fell above her head, and her whole body was hidden in the light, and it was not easy to be seen.
It's Ye Liuhuai, Ye Liuhuai's whole face is in a halo, his every move and frown are clearly illuminated, but his aura is strong enough and calm enough.
However, Qin Chaolu realized another problem, if it was placed like this, the light could not shine on the table at all, if he wrote down a handwriting or something, how to remember?
Soβthis candle seems to have been set up for her, knowing that she will die when she sees the light, so that's it!
Do! Underestimate her!
Qin Chaolu was not convinced!
Nightstream raised his eyebrows, leaned back, and asked playfully, "Would you like to move the candle closer?" β
"No, no, no. That's good, that's good! After Qin Chaolu finished speaking, he couldn't wait to slap himself with a big mouth.
Night Stream has her eyes in her arms, it seems that she still has him in her heart, otherwise she wouldn't be empty-hearted.
"Where did the old lady tell you?" He naturally cut to the chase, poured the tea with his own hands, and pushed it in front of her.
Qin Chaolu stroked the teacup he had touched, looked away, and replied angrily, "I told you about the family background of each family." β
"Okay, then I'll continue."
"Your Highness."
"Huh?" Night Stream came to his eyes.
Qin Chaolu's heart tightened, hurriedly avoided it, and whispered, "You better talk about King Gong and the crown prince first." This is more important. β
"Okay." Ye Liuhuai raised his hand and took a sip of tea, and then said, "King Gong is from the Zhao family of Concubine Li, and he is backed by the Zhao family. The crown prince is the queen's descendant, backed by the Murong family.
The battle between King Gong and the crown prince was already doomed from the beginning. β
"Is it because of the feud between the families?"
"Hmm. The strife between the families has been going on since ancient times. As the interests extend, they will intensify.
The most recent feud between King Gong and the crown prince was the disaster relief silver.
Do you still remember when we left, Lord Zhu sent by the imperial court to take over the disaster relief silver case?
Months have passed, and he has not returned to Beijing. In other words, the case is not closed. β
"Is it impossible to find out, or can't be found?" Qin Chaolu raised his eyes and asked.
When it comes to getting down to business, she naturally lets go a lot.
Ye Liuhuai liked her now, and she couldn't bear to destroy it, so she didn't tease her, but told her seriously, "You can't find out, and you can't help but check."
All parties in the DPRK and China are staring at this case, and the Zhao family and the Murong family are even biting to death.
Don't look at the fact that no one mentions it now, but in private there have been many open and secret fights for this.
When the winner is decided, the case will be decided. β
"So, this case is related to the battle of the family and the battle for the heir?"
"That's right."
"Is there a way to push it?"
"Yes. But "he paused, his eyes caught her gaze in the darkness, his hands tightened, and he was eager to lean over and embrace her in his arms, and then close the candlelight and moonlight, and tell the story.
But he couldn't do that, for fear of provoking her disgust, so he held back, and finally just looked her in the eye and asked her, "Who do you want to win?" β
"I ......" she thought about it, King Gong or the crown prince were not good people, and they both wanted to manipulate her, so "it would be nice if they could lose both." β
She still likes to watch dogs eat dogs.
Ye Liuhuai smiled dotingly, seeing that she was serious and suffocating, and wanted to encircle people in her arms and pamper her well.
