In a teahouse, Chi Wan and Xie Yutang sat facing each other, a pot of steaming tea in front of them, and they looked at each other through the steaming heat.

Xie Yutang's face was full of excited expressions, since he came to Pingcheng for a month, he almost couldn't find any news of Chi Wan, he almost planned to give up the road and go home, but he didn't expect to meet the person he wanted to see when he came to this lamp market to relax.

He was so excited in his heart that God had eyes, so he met Chi Wan, and the most important thing was that the other party was found through the nonsensical lantern riddle he came out of, this is fate.

She looked at Ji Wan's appearance, and only felt that she did seem to be a little thinner, although it was not obvious, but she could see that her face was more sunken inward.

I don't know how she is doing in this flat city, where she lives? What are you doing on weekdays? He had so many questions he wanted to ask the other party that he didn't know which words of concern were stuck in his throat.

Chi Wan lowered her head and held the tea in her hand, and quietly peeked at Xie Yutang with her spare eyes. I still remember that I just made a wish to the god of song that I wanted to see Xie Yutang, but I didn't expect to see it so soon, it was even more effective than a bodhisattva.

I haven't seen her for too long, and the girl's pretty face is flushed, and she can't bear to look directly at the other party's handsome face. She touched her heart, why did her heart beat so fast, she was just seeing an old man.

I don't know how long it took, but the two of them spoke almost at the same time: "Yutang." ”

"Wan'er."

For a moment, the two pairs of eyes that looked at each other revealed a deep friendship, and Xie Yutang gave up his hands and said to Chi Wan: "You say it first." ”

"Yutang, how did you find here?" Ji Wan didn't know if her guess was right.

Xie Yutang replied: "Actually, since you went to the Prince's Mansion, I have been trying to find a way to rescue you, but my identity is not as good as the Prince, not to mention that he will definitely not let you go if I rescue you, so I have to let you continue to stay in the Prince's Mansion and secretly protect your safety." ”

Chi Wan's heart moved, she suddenly remembered that the crown princess had said to herself that if she wasn't entrusted by others, she wouldn't save herself at all, and said that she had a relationship with the king of Chu, so that if you connect it like this, you will know who did it behind it.

It seems that he still cares about himself, Ji Wan smiled secretly, but quickly gathered this happiness and hid it in his heart.

"Then I heard about your disappearance, and then I kept asking for news of you, and finally ...... Found you. ”

The last sentence Xie Yutang said was meaningful, and Xie Yutang then asked Chi Wan, "How are you doing here?" ”

"Very good," said Ji Wan, "it's about the same as in the capital, but it's a lot happier." ”

"Almost?" Xie Yutang asked.

"Well, I opened a restaurant here, and the business is good."

Chi Wan said lightly, Xie Yutang almost squirted out the sip of tea he had just drunk, and suddenly looked at the other party's eyes full of awe. is worthy of Chi Wan, she can make a fortune by her own ability wherever she goes.

After the two chatted and asked for warmth, Xie Yutang cut to the point, he cautiously tested Chi Wan and said, "Wan'er, I came here this time just to take you back, are you willing to go with me." ”

"Take me back?" Chi Wan hurriedly shook her head, almost without hesitation, and said, "I don't want to go back to the capital, now that I'm doing well here, why do I want to go back?" ”

Xie Yutang subconsciously said, "Don't you want to live with me?" ”

Chi Wan shook his head, Xie Yutang suddenly felt a pain in his heart, Chi Wan explained: "Living with you, but you can't protect me well, if the prince arrests me again, what should I do?" ”

"Don't worry, I've found a place where you can hide, and as long as you stay there, you will never be found by the prince. After a while, I lied that I had found your body, and then Chi Wan was in the capital, and even this country would cease to exist, and you, as long as you changed your name, could continue to live a carefree life. ”

Xie Yutang had already planned everything in his heart, and told Chi Wan all his plans, Chi Wan felt ridiculous, Xie Yutang thought too beautifully, there were too many loopholes in this plan, one of the links went wrong, and the rest didn't have to think about it at all.

Moreover, compared to living such a fearful life in the capital, it is better to come at ease in this peaceful city, and not worry about food and clothing, how good.

Chi Wan categorically stated her opinion to Xie Yutang and said: "I won't go back to the capital, I just want to stay here, and I'm doing well here." ”

"Wan'er, why don't you understand my heart?" Xie Yutang was very angry, and he was only one step away from the purpose of his trip, "Follow me back to the capital." ”

"Why are you so strong? Have you really understood what my heart wants? Ji Wan was not easy to mess with, and the atmosphere between the two gradually became stiff, and the smell of gunpowder permeated.

"I do have some selfish intentions, but do you think the prince really won't find this place? Don't think it's safe to stay here all the time. ”

"I'm free to handle this matter myself, and I don't need you to worry about it," Chi Wan got up and said, "If you still want to continue arguing with me about this topic, then I'll go first." ”

She had already clearly revealed her displeasure, Xie Yutang didn't stop it, he was also very unhappy in his heart, with such an emotion, it would not be beneficial for the two of them to continue to fight.

Xie Yutang simply asked the shopkeeper to serve a pot of wine and drank it one by one, intending to force himself to vent his dissatisfaction in this way and force himself to calm down.

Obviously, this method is still quite effective, after Xie Yutang calmed down, he couldn't help but start to reflect, what he said just now was too direct, and it was because he was too anxious that it would make Chi Wan unhappy.

He held his forehead in annoyance, closed his eyes and blamed himself, blaming himself for being too impulsive, although he was happy to find Ji Wan, but he did it just now.

He looked up to see that it was already late outside, and the number of people still browsing the light market was significantly reduced. Thinking that Chi Wan had just left alone, he couldn't help but worry that something would happen if he let her go outside, so he hurriedly got up to check out and chased out.

On the other side, after Lin Nanyi hurried back to the house to listen to the news brought by the informant, seeing that it was still early, he thought about going to Chi Wan to make up for her. Originally, today I asked her to go out to visit the light market, but in the end, I still released her pigeons, and Lin Nanyi was more or less reluctant to go.

So, he went to the flavor building first, because Chi Wan lived in the flavor building on weekdays, and there was one on the top floor of the flavor building that was her room.

He thought to himself that Chi Wan should also come back at this point, he might as well take her to have a supper or something, the plan in his heart was very beautiful, but he never thought that Chi Wan was not in the flavor building.

The shopkeeper said that Chi Wan had never come back, maybe she had a good time playing in the light market, and she hadn't returned yet. Lin Nanyi planned to wait a little longer, waiting, waiting for dozens of minutes to pass, and even the guests who had supper in the flavor building were almost gone, but Chi Wan had not come back yet, and then Lin Nanyi felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly went to the street to find her in person.

Chi Wan walked alone on the street, the lights of the light market were still as bright as day, but there were many fewer people, and even many stalls had been closed and ready to go back to rest.

The night was a little cold, and a gust of cold wind blew Chi Wan couldn't help but shiver. But at this moment, her heart was even colder, she was very happy to see Xie Yutang, but she never thought that he would be able to find herself, which shows that he still cares about himself in his heart.

But the conversation after that was very unpleasant, she never realized that Xie Yutang was also such a strong man in his bones, no different from others.

This made Chi Wan disheartened, she knew that most of them were machismo in ancient times, but she couldn't accept it, she almost became disheartened with Xie Yutang just now.

It's just that she is still happy and comfortable alone, isn't this her original goal and decision? She was lazy and yawned, seeing that it was not too early for her to go back.

From a distance, he saw a familiar figure coming towards him in front of him, and when he got closer, it turned out to be Lin Nanyi.

"Lin Gongzi." Chi Wan waved her hand at him, and Lin Nanyi saw her running over in three steps and two steps, "Young Master Lin is so late, why are you still coming out." ”

"It's okay for me to come out late as a man," Lin Nanyi saw that Chi Wan was wearing thin, and subconsciously took off his cloak and put it on for Chi Wan, "It's you, a woman hasn't gone back so late, and I'm not afraid of bad people." ”

"What's the bad guy," Chi Wan said with disgust, "and I'm getting ready to go back." ”

"Then let's go, I'll send you back." Lin Nanyi said to Chi Wan, Chi Wan nodded, and the two walked side by side in the direction of the flavor building.

"How's it going, are you having fun at the light market?"

"I'm very happy, the riddles here are very interesting."

The two seemed to be chatting in a very relaxed tone, at least Chi Wan felt so, but Lin Nanyi was not, his afterglow kept glancing behind him, and he always felt that someone was secretly following them.

"Let's go here." Without waiting for Chi Wan to agree, Lin Nanyi took her hand and walked into a dark and winding alley with her.

This is a long road, not only is it dark and narrow, but there are also many detours, for Ji Wan to let her go, she sometimes goes wrong, she is puzzled and asks, "Why do you want to take a long detour to go back?" ”

"Shh," Lin Nanyi motioned for Chi Wan to whisper, and led her to speed up, "because someone is following us behind." ”

"Tracking?" Chi Wan looked back, and she couldn't see anything in the dark behind her, only hearing the sound of insects in the haystack on the side, and the hurried footsteps of two people.
