Xu Jiayi looked around to find the source of the sound, and then noticed that a bush not far from the water pavilion was shaking and swaying, making a rustling sound from time to time, which was exactly what she had just heard.

Seeing that the grass was shaking more and more, Xu Jiayi had the heart to cry at this moment. I knew that she shouldn't have sent Cuiyun and Yuanxiang back just now, otherwise she wouldn't be so scared if there were a few more people around at this time.

Xu Jiayi held her breath, staring intently at the grass, her calves trembled and weakened, she was almost unsteady, she silently took two steps back and leaned her back against the stone table to stabilize her body, and secretly thought in her heart that she would not say anything in the future and go out alone at night.

The grass shook violently again, and with the rattling of the leaves, a flower cat finally jumped out of it, scratching its head with its teeth and claws, and finally called Xu Jiayi "meow ......" twice, as if mocking Xu Jiayi's cowardice, and in a few jumps, he had already reached the eaves, wagged his tail and disappeared into the night.

It's a cat......

It's a shame that she was scared for a long time.

Xu Jiayi's worried heart instantly calmed down, took a deep breath, slowly turned around, sat back on the stone bench, and calmed down. The security in the house has always been good, and although it is secluded here, there will be no other thieves breaking in. It's that she is making too much of a fuss and scaring herself, Xu Jiayi secretly thought in her heart, and raised her hand to pat her chest.

"Ahem!" A man's cough suddenly came from behind her, and the burning breath almost hit her neck.

Xu Jiayi's body that had just sat down stiffened, and her silent side eyes wanted to look back, and when she touched a figure dressed in black, she immediately screamed and stood up and wanted to run forward, but she didn't notice that she needed to go down the steps to get out of the water pavilion.

Sure enough, the more panicked, the easier it is to make mistakes, how can she be so stupid?!

Xu Jiayi was annoyed, seeing that she was getting closer and closer to the ground, she subconsciously wanted to block her face with her hand to avoid breaking her face.

The man behind him didn't expect that his sudden voice would scare the little girl like this, and when he saw that she was about to fall, he immediately stepped forward and grabbed Xu Jiayi's hand with two very fast steps, and his subordinates dragged the person to his side with a little effort, and he had already hugged Xu Jiayi into his arms with a twist and caught it steadily.

Under the action of inertia, Xu Jiayi's whole body fell into the arms of the man behind her, and her forehead hit the man's chest, so painful that she bared her teeth and subconsciously tilted her head back.

Due to the difference in height, Xu Jiayi, who was hugged like this, needed to stand on tiptoe, wanting to stabilize her body, but she accidentally stepped on the man's feet when she moved, Xu Jiayi obviously felt that the man snorted, and subconsciously wanted to raise her foot to relieve the pain.

Xu Jiayi only felt extremely embarrassed, although she didn't know who this man was, but judging from the fact that he saved her from breaking her appearance, he shouldn't be a bad person. And when she was just hugged by him, she could still smell a familiar smell from him, which also meant that it should be an acquaintance she knew.

Xu Jiayi silently took a step back, wanting to confirm who this person was. But she forgot that she was standing on the edge of the steps, and when she stepped back, she hung directly in the air, and in a panic, she directly reached out and grabbed the man's arm. The man originally wanted to relieve the pain in his toes, but he didn't expect Xu Jiayi to suddenly grab him, and the two of them fell down directly.

"Ahh

"Uh-huh......"

Two muffled grunts rang out.

In the end, he still couldn't escape the fate of falling down the steps, and Xu Jiayi couldn't help but think in her heart at the moment of falling.

After Xu Jiayi came to her senses, she found that she was firmly protected by the man in her arms and did not fall, but their posture was too clever when she fell, and her lips happened to be on the other party's face at this moment.

Xu Jiayi, who reacted, was immediately frightened, her eyes widened, and she felt that her head was buzzing and she was directly stunned, and she even forgot to get up.

Not only Xu Jiayi was stunned, but even Chu Changfeng, who was pressed under her, was stunned.

The soft delicate body in his arms, as well as the fragrant fragrance of the woman who lingered between his noses, especially the moist soft lips on his cheeks against the woman, made him feel helpless and his mind was blank.

In the end, Xu Jiayi was the first to react, struggling to get up from the man's arms, and didn't dare to look at who the man who was pressed under him as a cushion.

After Xu Jiayi got up, the man on the ground also stood up from the ground, and his voice was a little hoarse, "Are you okay?" ”

Table ...... ......" Xu Jiayi was stunned, only to feel that this voice was very familiar, like someone living in Shangshu Mansion. Xu Jiayi raised her eyes to look at Chu Changfeng's face, she wanted to say hello, but when she recalled what had just happened, the sentence "Uncle Cousin" stuck in her throat couldn't be spoken, she just stared at him.

Chu Changfeng's always calm and self-contained face was also full of embarrassment and embarrassment at the moment, and a layer of blush was also dyed on his earlobes, but it was not noticeable in the dark. Watching Xu Jiayi's actions of sorting out her clothes, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva quietly, and she didn't dare to look at her when she looked away.

His heart fluctuated, but Chu Changfeng pretended to be calm on his face, pursed his lips as usual and said slowly, "What's the matter, stammering?" Can't say anything? ”

"Uncle Cousin, why are you......" Xu Jiayi didn't expect that the person who appeared here at night would be Chu Changfeng.

When he came back to his senses from the flying thoughts, he felt a hot gaze fall on him, Xu Jiayi raised his eyes slightly and saw Chu Changfeng staring at him without blinking. From the pupils of his eyes, he could clearly see his own reflection.

Quietly stared at Chu Changfeng for a while, and for some reason, his heart, which was originally flustered and churning violently, suddenly calmed down.

It was not the first time they had been so close, but it was the first time that Xu Jiayi had looked at Chu Changfeng so closely.

Looking at it so closely, I found that Chu Changfeng's appearance was really not bad. Because of his perennial experience at the border gates, his complexion is not as fair as that of the son-in-law in Yanjing City, but a very healthy wheat-colored skin, coupled with the oblique Ying Ting sword eyebrows, what comes to his face is the aura of arrogance against the world, which makes people dare not force it.

Xu Jiayi didn't speak, and Chu Changfeng didn't know what to say, so the two once again had nothing to say.

Xu Jiayi lowered her eyes and asked in embarrassment, "Uncle Cousin, why are you here?" ”

Chu Changfeng pursed his lips and replied, "I just came back from outside, and I heard a voice here, so I came over to take a look." ”

As soon as these words came out, Xu Jiayi nodded embarrassedly.

It must have been that she was frightened by the cat just now, and the sound of screaming was heard by Chu Changfeng. This side is not far from Zhu'an Courtyard, and Chu Changfeng is indeed going to pass by when he returns to the courtyard.

"There was a wild cat there just now, I didn't see it clearly, I was scared by it......" Xu Jiayi explained in a low eyebrow, and the more she spoke, the quieter her voice became.

After all, Xu Jiayi is just a little girl, although she is a little more eclectic, but she doesn't have much contact with men. Except for such intimate movements with my uncles and grandfathers when I was a child, I have never had with other men.

Last time, it rained heavily last time, and when Chu Changfeng sent her back to the yard, he carried her across the puddle, and it took her a long time to let go, but this time it was......

"I shouldn't have stood behind you and scares you, right?"

"No, it's because I'm too timid to be scared." Xu Jiayi shook her head, she just felt that she really didn't know what to say, this thing was really embarrassing, not only did she feel embarrassed, but her cousin must also feel embarrassed. Thankfully, this secluded place was rarely visited, only the two of them knew about it, and as long as they didn't say it themselves, no third person would know.

"Just ......"

As soon as Chu Changfeng got up, Xu Jiayi directly interrupted Chu Changfeng's words, because he was anxious and even his voice was a little sharp, "Nothing happened just now." ”

Chu Changfeng paused for a moment, nodded, understood what Xu Jiayi meant, and echoed, "Yes, nothing happened just now." It's getting late, do you need me to send you back? ”

"Don't bother my cousin, it's getting late, then I'll leave." After finishing speaking, Xu Jiayifu bowed and said goodbye, and then straightened his body dignifiedly, remembering the etiquette of everyone's ladies, and walked forward two steps away from Chu Changfeng with a thousand manners, and after being a little far away from Chu Changfeng, he didn't pay attention to his gait at all, and almost ran back in the direction of Jiaxi Garden.

Chu Changfeng had been standing in place and watching Xu Jiayi slowly walk away, until he finally disappeared into the night before retracting his gaze. Seeing her fleeing in the wilderness, she couldn't help but hook her lips and chuckle.

On weekdays, I look very bold, but I didn't expect to be so intimidating.

Raising his hand and touching the cheek he had just been kissed by Xu Jiayi, Chu Changfeng shook his head with a smile, and did not linger any longer, and went back to Zhu'an Courtyard.

Xu Jiayi almost ran all the way back to Jiaxi Garden, at this time Cuiyun and Yuanxiang were waiting at the gate of the courtyard, seeing her panting and running back, as if something was chasing her behind, she couldn't help but look behind her a little strangely. Cuiyun helped Xu Jiayi to walk towards the courtyard, and couldn't help but ask out loud, "Girl, what are you doing in such a hurry?" ”

Seeing Cuiyun and Yuanxiang, Xu Jiayi subconsciously stopped, switched back to everyone's beautiful demeanor, and coughed lightly to cover up, "I exercise and exercise." ”

"Girl, why are you so red?"

Hearing this, Xu Jiayi's face was even hotter, and she knew how red her face was without touching it, so she was busy fanning her face with her hand to cool down, "It's hot." ”
