Chapter 22: Awkward Qin Xiao
Although Xiao was thinking about Qin Xiao's body, Dongfang Wu was just thinking about it, she just had a trace of hope for him, and hoped from the bottom of her heart that he could stay and be her companion, thinking that he was also a beautiful man, if he really stayed, it would be okay to have a little love with him for a long time.
But think about it, his leg is still recovering, if she is too serious now, and when he is fully healed and doesn't want to stay, what should she do?
Intuition told her that Qin Xiao's identity was not simple, she didn't want to get involved, but she selfishly wanted him to stay and spend this life with her.
Qin Xiao was also tossing and turning, no matter how he coaxed, Dongfang Wu would not be fooled, and he couldn't force her to his side, for fear of scaring her, and he would torture himself enough.
This is interesting, the next day, when they went out, both of them had panda eyes.
Fortunately, Dongfang Wu was no different, and he finished talking about the book in the teahouse. Luo Yanrou was not here today, just Dongfang Wu, Qin Xiao and Rong Meiren had a meal, Dongfang Wu held a chopstick in one hand and a bowl in the other, but his eyes were staring, and his body slowly shook to the left and then to the right.
Qin Xiao squinted for a while when she was talking about the book, her spirit was obviously much better at this time, Dongfang Wu's injury was not healed, and she hadn't slept all night, and she also said that she was already tired for two hours, if she saw this table full of delicacies, she would not be able to eat it happily.
But today, she fell asleep while she sitted.
"Lady, ladyβ’β’β’β’β’β’" Qin Xiao called her softly.
Dongfang Wuqiang cheered up and rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand, "Eh, Xianggong, what's wrong?" β
Qin Xiao put down the chopsticks, grabbed her little hand holding the bowl, and said thoughtfully: "The food is going to be cold, if you are really sleepy, go and rest for a while, and when you wake up, we will go home!" β
Dongfang Wufan stared at the extremely elegant Rong Meiren beside him, and Rong Meiren said: "Go to the backyard to rest, keep the food for you!" β
"Thank you Rong Gongzi" Dongfang Wu thanked Rong Meiren, got up and walked out in a daze, but was accidentally knocked by the threshold and fell straight to the ground.
Qin Xiao and Rong Meiren were both shocked, and Qin Xiao got up and was about to help. Rong Meiren was one step faster than him, only to see that his figure flashed, he had already passed him, scooped Dongfang Wu from the ground, picked him up by the waist, and walked straight towards the backyard, Qin Xiao's whole face was gloomy.
Rong Meiren's face was not as shallow as usual with a smile, at this time his face had already formed a layer of frost, but Dongfang Wu, who was being held by her, rubbed into his arms, didn't open his eyes, and muttered: "Xiao Ming, I'm sleepy!" β
Rong Xiyue turned her head and glanced at Qin Xiao with pity, didn't he even tell her his real name? He knew that he was in love with the woman named Xia Lingxiu, but as soon as the woman heard that he was dead, she turned to the arms of the second prince.
Since he already has a woman in his heart, how sincere is he to her? Or was it just using her to heal him?
Rong Meiren's heart was even more blocked, he didn't know what happened between them, it had only been one night, it seemed that her relationship with Qin Xiao had improved a lot, before, she had always kept a distance from Qin Xiao, and she saw it in her eyes. Although he couldn't walk, she only helped him through his sleeve, and when he picked up vegetables for her, she would push them aside while he wasn't paying attention.
But today, although the two of them have dark eyes, the atmosphere between the two of them is very harmonious, even when he holds her hand, she does not dodge, and in his arms, she still shouts his pseudonym.
He even had some doubts about whether he was thinking too much, maybe not as he thought, whether he should be honest and explain it to her!
This night, Dongfang Wu never slept until three o'clock before waking up quietly, she was woken up by hunger.
Qin Xiao fell asleep leaning on the head of her bed, thinking that he didn't sleep well last night, and when he woke up, he saw him at first sight, Dongfang Wu's heart was warm, after yesterday's events, this man gave him a feeling that he could rely on.
Although Dongfang Wu usually looks like she doesn't care, in fact, she has a deep sense of loneliness in her heart, but looking at Qin Xiao at this time, leaning on the bedside and sleeping Qin Xiao, she feels that she may not be lonely in the future!
Stretching out her hand, her slender fingertips poked into the white and flawless handsome face, Qin Xiao frowned, as if she was sleeping unsteadily, she wanted to smooth it out.
Before I could touch it, I heard a light cough. Dongfang Wu was shocked, raised his head slightly, and looked sideways, it was Rong Meiren, who was lazy sitting on the Taishi chair, with an elegant posture.
Dongfang Wu didn't expect Rong Meiren to be here, so she withdrew her hand in embarrassment, Qin Xiao already had excellent ear power, and when he heard the sound of coughing lightly, he immediately woke up.
"Lady, you're awake!" Qin Xiao's voice was soft, and Dongfang Wu smiled faintly at him and nodded.
"It's getting dark, let's go back!" Qin Xiao glanced out the window and said to her.
Dongfang Wu slowly got up, and then realized that the light in the house was already in charge.
"Xianggong, I'm hungry, let's go back after dinner!" Dongfang Wu looked at Rong Meiren again, "Young Master Rong, do you still have the dishes?" β
"Since I agreed, I will naturally keep it for you" Rong Meiren had a beautiful smile on her face, and there was warmth in her ink eyes. commanded Fugui, who was guarding the door.
Qin Xiao's face darkened, "Let's go back and do it ourselves, it's not bad for a while!" β
"The dishes are all spent on silver, and they can't be wasted, besides, I still want to talk to Rong Gongzi about building a bamboo building!" Dongfang Wu lifted the quilt, got up and sat down at the round table with a smile, waiting for the meal.
"I'll find someone to build a bamboo building, these dishes are not worth a few silver, what's so delicious about leftovers?" Qin Xiao was slightly angry.
Dongfang Wu was surprised and looked back at him. At this moment, Qin Xiao was standing there like an old pine, with a warm and angry face, his face was gloomy, and he knew that he was angry at a glance!
But why is he angry? All of a sudden, what's going on, he's not familiar with life here, who is going to build it, and that dish isn't worth a few dollars? Fifty taels for a table, even if Rong Meiren shared twenty-five taels and twenty-five taels, it would be enough for ordinary farmers to eat for a year.
"Xianggongβ’β’β’β’β’β’ what's wrong with you?" Dongfang Wu's eyes were concerned, but he was also puzzled.
"Lady, I'm tired and want to go home!" His voice suddenly softened, and seeing Dongfang Wu staring at him like this, Qin Xiao suddenly felt that his anger was very unreasonable.
He didn't want to see Rong Xiyue's face, he wanted to hurry back to their little hut with her, only the two of them! He was just angry with himself, but inadvertently, he sent the fire to Dongfang Wu.
"I know" Dongfang Wu's face was cold, and he turned his head and smiled apologetically at Rong Meiren, "Rong Gongzi, I'm really sorry, I'm really tired of coming to my father-in-law, I'll go back today first, and I'll settle the bill tomorrow!" β
Rong Meiren always maintained a gentle smile, elegant and calm, without feeling embarrassed at all, "Well, it's okay, the road is dark, be careful!" β
"Farewell!" Dongfang Wu bowed.
Qin Xiao's deep eyes went straight into Rong Meiren's ink eyes, and the two stared at each other, Qin Xiao's eyes were as sharp as a knife, and Rong Meiren's ink eyes were as smiling as water, but they were both resolute and did not retreat.
"Xianggong, let's go!" With such obvious hostility, Dongfang Wu can't see it anymore, then he is really blind.
Dongfang Wu and Qin Xiao took the little gray ash and came out of the back door, Fugui reluctantly stuffed the lantern in his hand into Dongfang Wu's hand, "Childe instructed it, say it's dark!" β
After closing his words, he turned around and closed the courtyard door with a "bang".
Dongfang Wu was silent, helping Qin Xiao to get on the back of the donkey, holding the little gray ash by himself, and walking in front with the lantern.
The night was thick, and in the darkness, only the lone lamp emitted a light yellow glow. The night breeze was very cool, Dongfang Wu and Qin Xiao were silent, all the sounds were silent, and the sound of donkey hooves was particularly pleasant on this wide official road.
Fortunately, this Tudou County is not an important area, and the city gate is just an arch, which does not prevent them from going out of the city.
"Does the lady complain about me?" In the dark, Qin Xiao's voice seemed a little cold.
"No" If she hadn't had that glimmer of hope for Qin Xiao, she might not have cared about today's events, but since she had given that glimmer of opportunity, Dongfang Wu would take it seriously.
"On the contrary, I'm happy! You're jealous! Dongfang Wu smiled, and she couldn't think of a reason for him to be angry other than that. If this is the case, it can only prove that this man cares about himself very much in his heart, and in this way, she is more willing to believe that he will stay for herself and stay by her side, isn't that exactly what she wants. It's too late for her to be happy, why should she blame him.
"Lady, since you want to open a medical hall, don't go to the story, let's start preparing for the opening of a medical hall as soon as possible!" Seeing that Dongfang Wu was not angry, Qin Xiao said his thoughts.
Qin Xiao always felt that as long as Dongfang Wu was still inviting Yuelou to tell stories, he would inevitably have contact with Rong Meiren, and only in this way could he keep a distance between them.
Dongfang Wu frowned, she really wanted to open a medical center, but she didn't want to stop telling the story immediately, after thinking for a while, Dongfang Wu said slowly: "Then, tomorrow the prime minister will go to the city to find a shop, now I will go to tell the story for the time being, and when the shop is implemented, I will go to resign from Rong Gongzi." β
Qin Xiao didn't want Dongfang Wu to invite Yuelou for a moment, but Dongfang Wu didn't object, he knew that she had already made a concession when she said this, and it was not good to force her not to go at the moment, so he had to say: "Okay, I'll go find it tomorrow!" β
Dongfang Wu said: "Xiao Ming, if you have any thoughts in the future, happy or unhappy, you can tell me, don't hold it in your heart, and don't let me guess!" β
Qin Xiao: "Well, good! β
Dongfang Wu: "Then tell me, why are you angry?" β
Qin Xiao: "β’β’β’β’β’β’"
Qin Xiao has extremely strong self-esteem, what does he say and say? said that his wife was taken away by another man in front of him? He couldn't say that anyway! If he hadn't recovered from his injuries, he would have been seriously injured if he hadn't died.
At this moment, a night wind blew and blew out the dim glimmer of light, and everything was swallowed up by darkness.
The donkey no longer walked forward, leaning less, Qin Xiao called her softly: "Ladyβ’β’β’β’β’β’"
Dongfang Wu didn't go forward anymore, the night was too dark, and it was not an exaggeration to say that she couldn't see her five fingers, she heard Qin Xiao calling her softly.
"Eh, Xiao Ming, wait, I'll look for a flashlight!" Dongfang Wu groped for a while.
Thinking about it, I had already used it once in the lewd man last time, and now that the two are close, Dongfang Wu felt that there was no need to hide it from him, so she simply let him approach her slowly, and the two opened their hearts and understood each other more, so that there would be fewer misunderstandings in the future.
In a short time, a bright white light illuminated the way forward.
"This is? Lady, you β’β’β’β’β’β’" Qin Xiao was so surprised that he couldn't speak.
He didn't expect Dongfang Wu's hand to emit a dazzling light, and his heart suddenly turned a hundred times, who is she? Why does she have this ability, is she really just a mortal, does a mortal have such an ability?
Her astonishing performances flashed quickly in his mind, and he froze, his lady, is it a human or a ghost, a god or a demon?
Instantly, he remembered the places outside Shikoku that she had spoken, and the many different pieces of music he had never heard before.
Dongfang Wu glanced at Qin Xiao with a flashlight, Qin Xiao was startled, and thought that this beam of light had infinitely powerful lethality, so he hurriedly protected his head.
Seeing him act like this, Dongfang Wu was stunned, and hurriedly reassured: "Xiao Ming, don't be afraid, it's just a flashlight, it's for lighting, it's okay!" β
Turning the light to the road, Dongfang Wu said slowly: "This, it's called a flashlight, you just think it's a lantern that won't be blown out by the wind, unlike the lantern, the lantern is a fire, and this one won't catch fire!" β
"Last time you used this to stun those guys!" Listening to Dongfang Wu's soothing tone, Qin Xiao slowly lowered his guard.
Dongfang Wu: "That's because this thing is electrified!" β
Qin Xiao: "Electricity? β
"Hmmm! How to say, lightning is the lightning in the sky, although the electricity in this flashlight is not as strong as lightning, but it is the same as lightning! Dongfang Wu explained as much as he could.
"The lady is not the fairy who came down from the nine heavens, and the lightning can even make the lady hold it in her hand!" Qin Xiao was a little worried, and the two titles of father and divine grace flashed in his mind, could it be that this is the name of the immortal?
What, lightning in the hand? The thinnest lightning bolt is several meters in diameter, how can she hold it in her hand?
This brain circuit made Dongfang Wu want to laugh, and he couldn't help but want to tease him, "If I am really that fairy descending to the earth, Xiao Ming will worship me?" β
Just a joke, Qin Xiao stared at Dongfang Wu fixedly, and said after a moment: "I won't let them take you away!" β
WhatοΌ
Dongfang Wu has a question mark, what is the situation? The two of them are not on the same channel at all!
"Who are you talking about?" If you don't understand, you have to ask, Dongfang Wucai is not the kind of person who doesn't know how to pretend to understand.
"Last time, the lady was infected with the wind cold, had nightmares at night, and kept shouting about Dad and God's grace, I guess these words have a special meaning for you!" Qin Xiao said.
Hearing this, the smile on Dongfang Wu's face receded a little, "Yes, it is of great significance!" They're my dearest people, but they're gone! β
"Not there? Is that what I thought it would be? These two words made Qin Xiao have a bad intuition in his heart.
"Yes, that's what it means!" Dongfang replied calmly.
"God β’β’β’β’β’β’ Too"
"Xiao Ming, what do you want? We are no different, we are all ordinary people, so you and I have lived together for four months. I will also catch the cold, I will be hungry, I will be cold, I will be injured, I will die of old age! β
Qin Xiao: "But you can shine, you can use lightning!" Is this beyond the control of mortals? β
Dongfang Wu was speechless, "Hey, what's this, you can do it too, wait for me to be free, I'll teach you!" β
Dongfang Wu didn't want to talk to him anymore, she knew that if she wanted him to completely dispel the doubts in her heart, she had to let him have a long experience, and it was useless to talk more, so let's take it slowly!
Hearing this, Qin Xiao was taken aback and said, "I can β’β’β’β’β’β’ me too?" β
