Chapter 393: Return to Beijing
"What's coming?" Yun Pei asked knowingly. It's nothing more than wanting to hear her with your own ears.
Shen Mei's eyes widened, pretending to be innocent, and she didn't really want to respond to such a boring question from him.
But I remembered that just now he was a nine-foot man walking on the bank of the river, and he didn't care at all about the drizzle.
After all, I couldn't bear it, "It's raining, you didn't bring an umbrella, I'll come over and take a look, and ......" And there was something in Zhao Yu's words just now, she didn't want to stay there longer, it was better to come and see Yun Pei, as if she could do everything to forget the past, it was because Yun Pei was by her side, this kind of peace of mind was different from Mu Qingfeng, but after choosing to let go, she decided to look at everything that was going to happen in this world as a bystander, as for Yun Pei, she thought that if she could bring him some comfort, it would be enough to feel at ease, is enough to repay Yun Pei and the eldest mother's kindness.
"Hehe, it's raining, I was thinking about things just now, but I didn't pay attention." After speaking, a few steps forward to take the oil-paper umbrella in Shen Mei's hand, the distance between the two heads was two heads, but at this time the tacit understanding was incomparable, as if they had known each other for many years, accustomed to each other's every move or even a look, a smile, Shen Mei no longer asked, but saw Yun Pei's cheerful appearance, so she secretly blamed herself for having nothing to do, this person is a strange person.
Yun Pei's clean and calm voice whispered above her head, "You shouldn't be secretly slandering again, are you?" ”
When Shen Mei heard this, her brows frowned slightly, and she couldn't help laughing, and the gurgling water was particularly pleasant to the ear.
"Oh, that's true." After speaking, he changed the handle of the umbrella that was originally held between the two of them with his other hand, put Shen Mei outside the umbrella, and stepped forward.
Shen Mei came back to her senses, only felt that this person was really childish, and she was not in a hurry or annoyed, following behind him, watching him toss like this, and after a few steps, the person in front of him stopped.
didn't look back, turned his back to her, but was unexpectedly serious. "You know, I took advantage of you, why don't you blame me."
Shen Mei stopped behind him, and the surroundings were so quiet that it seemed as if only the two of them were left.
Yun Pei put away the umbrella, "The road back to Beijing is difficult, are you really willing?"
In the past few months of getting along, Yun Pei has never asked about Shen Mei's past, but just by looking at each other, he is enough to be sure that he has been waiting for an opportunity, this opportunity is the person in front of him, he has his own ambitions, although he wants to clarify the grievances suffered by the Yun family, but he really used her, and took advantage of all kinds of involvement seen in his talent, and he had to do it as a last resort. Or maybe it's providence.
"Well, I see, let's go." The sound is as light as water. But there are no waves. It is impossible to hear half of the emotion, and even she herself did not expect that in the face of such a moment, there can be no grievances, just fulfillment, and the blue sea and blue sky that he wants.
After Shen Mei finished speaking, she stepped forward and snatched away the handle of the umbrella that he had tightened with a lot of force.
Stretched out again, the round umbrella surface, narrowed the distance between the two of them, she felt the emotions he held back, pressed very low, but he regretted a little, regretted everything he had borrowed her to do, she had not yet exposed her clumsy play.
"Let's go, I'm freezing to death, my aunt is still waiting for us to go back." Subconsciously tugged Yun Pei's somewhat wet sleeves, the wind in the night, the biting cold.
"Hmm." After a long time, Yun Pei responded, no longer immersed in his emotions.
This time he took the umbrella, but he protected her very well, a whole umbrella to shelter her from the wind and rain, since we owe each other in this life, then use all I have left to protect you for a lifetime.
The two of them didn't know how long they walked quietly, walked a few streets and alleys, returned to the inn, and walked into the door of the inn side by side, the proprietress on the counter was still full of charm, but after seeing Shen Mei's dress, she immediately put away the smiling face she wanted to meet.
There is a loss that can't be hidden, a face with delicate makeup, lost its color like a defeated flower, withering and swaying.
"Boss, please tell Xiao Er to write hot water and send it to our room." Yun Pei changed his previous tone and said quietly, Rao is shopkeeper didn't have a chance to say a few polite words to him. In the end, he could only be stunned, and then nodded.
The two went back to their rooms and closed the door, and Shen Mei breathed a long sigh of relief.
And Yun Pei's side, as soon as he pushed the door open, he saw the eldest lady sitting on the carved wooden stool next to the pear wood round table, with a serious expression, which was irresistible.
"Tell me, what's your bad idea?"
"If you don't speak, then I'll take you as a default, I've been afraid since a long time ago, I'm worried that you won't be able to let go of the past, until I see your master and me today, I understand that you have never given up on finding out the truth of things for your father."
The eldest lady couldn't help but choke up a little as she spoke.
"You, you." Seeing that he was old for a long time, the eldest lady got up and pushed the door and left.
For this son of hers, how could she, as a mother, not understand the battle of the trapped beasts in his heart, just looking at it and worrying, thinking that time would make him forget everything in the past, but he didn't expect him to be so persistent.
went out and faced Shen Mei's closed door, but the eldest lady finally didn't knock on Shen Mei's door, shook her head, and left.
Zhao Ling'er, in order to avoid the end of the man in black, finally chose to get on a ship and leave Yulin Country, she wants to come back alive again, come back to figure everything out, before she needs to live, this ship will arrive in Wu Kingdom, she wants to go there to find Xiao Hanguang, let him promise to uncover this mystery with herself.
What awaits her will be, she is not afraid, nor timid, she knows that Xiao Hanguang will definitely be able to return to Wuguo.
You can find the answers you want.
The boat was loaded with large and small goods, Zhao Linger and several middle-aged men in coarse cloth clothes squatted in a sheltered corner, Zhao Linger was dressed in men's clothes, and no one noticed, she had close contacts with people along the way, and heard a lot of things about Wuguo, but she understood more and more that she was not capable and could not resist the power hidden behind these secrets.
In the early morning of the next day, Shen Mei packed her luggage early in the morning and got on the largest ship bound for the capital, Zhao Jing came with his wife to see him off, Shen Mei took advantage of the fact that the young lady of the Zhao family was not paying attention to put the inner beads she gave herself into the embroidery bag she carried, everything here is goodbye.
The words that the young lady said at that time suddenly echoed in Shen Mei's ears, and she saw the quiet and beautiful woman on the shore snuggling quietly in her husband's arms, with reluctance in her eyes, but also with the expectation of blessings.
Take care.
