I called the innkeeper, prepared the hot water in the bathtub, and planned to take a bath, but who knew that Yuwen Yong ordered me as if there was no one else, "My son wants to take a bath, you go out." ”

What the! My eyes widened, angry and annoyed, "This seems to be the hot water I asked someone to prepare, don't you see, or do you have a problem with your eyes?" ”

Yu Wenyong was casual, and said indifferently: "I saw it, so what?" ”

"I saw you and told me to go out, you should be the one who should go out." Yu Wenyong's face was indifferent, unmoved at all, and I was even more angry, "It's still so reasonable to rob other people's things, some people's cheeks are so thick that they don't even know how to write the word 'shame'." ”

Yu Wenyong was finally willing to turn his stingy gaze and sneered, "Someone else's stuff? Are you sure that's yours? All the food and clothing along the way are my money, and you don't have any money on you. Everything you're using now is mine, and you're embarrassed to be cheeky and say it's yours? It seems that some people are not only thick-skinned, but also do not even have the most basic self-knowledge. ”

was refuted by him like this, I choked for a while, and said with a straight face: "Forget it, reasoning with people like you will only waste your time." ”

"That's because you have nothing to say, and if you talk too much, you will only bring humiliation on yourself." Yu Wenyong was happy to embarrass me, and his face was full of the pleasure and playfulness of the winner.

I replied without discouragement, "Reason is at ease in people's hearts, do you think that strong words will win me?" Don't think you can manipulate everything. ”

Yu Wenyong hooked the corners of his lips, met my eyes that I didn't admit defeat, and said contemptuously: "But at least you are in my hands now, you can only listen to me." ”

"But I have the right to protest." I stubbornly stepped back, unintentionally entangled with him again, intending to go out.

After taking two steps, I suddenly stopped by the bathtub, stretched out my slender five fingers, poked into the water and quickly stretched out, and smiled softly, "The water is too cold, I don't like it, let it be given to you." ”

Immediately, my eyebrows bent, and my eyes shone like the bright frost color under the autumn moon, "My mother has taught me since I was a child that what I don't like is to be left to people who are more pitiful than myself." ”

For a moment, Yu Wenyong's eyebrows froze, his face was ugly like black soil under the scorching summer sun, and soon disappeared like lightning, so fast that it was difficult to catch, and said: "No matter how much you say, it's just a knife on your lips, do you think you can help me?" ”

I said happily: "But my mouth is enough to use a knife to deal with you, you see, aren't you angry?" I was satisfied to see that a crack broke in Yu Wenyong's calm face, and my heart was even more happy.

Just as he was smug, Yuwen suddenly strode over, grabbed the wooden scoop in the bathtub, and coldly scooped up a scoop of water and splashed it on my head. "Ahh I screamed, and scrambled to wipe the water from my face as I stepped back.

"You're sharp-toothed, aren't you? The mouth is powerful, isn't it? I'd like to see how good you are! Yu Wenyong's strong and irresistible arm dragged me over, and another scoop of water poured on me.

I dodged and struggled and shouted, "What are you doing!" ”

"Don't you want to take a bath, I'll wash it for you!" Yu Wenyong's cold voice was accompanied by the pouring water.

"You madman!" I ducked with my head tilted, angry.

Yu Wenyong kept splashing water at me with a water scoop, I broke free and ran away, but often I didn't take two steps and was pulled back by him, the cool water washed me, and I couldn't see anything. In the confusion, I kept shouting, "Stop, stop, stop me!" ”

Yu Wenyong was also angry like a child at this time, "I won't stop to see what you can do." ”

I vigorously wrenched his hand away and ran away in a daze. Yu Wenyong came to arrest me, how could I be willing to give in, and spare no effort to fight him. Stepping on the wet floor, he slipped his foot in the tugging, and instantly fell backwards and fell.

Because one of Yu Wenyong's hands hugged me in time when I fell, my head didn't hurt much when I fell to the ground, but Yu Wenyong's body pressed on my side, which was a little heavy. In a trance, there seemed to be something sticking to my eyebrows, soft, warm, soft as clouds in the sky.

"Your Majesty, Miss Xiao—" The door was suddenly opened, and it was the voices of Zhao Tong and Du Quan.

Squinted his eyes and swept over, but saw Zhao Tong and Du Cheng looking at us in a daze, embarrassed and stammered: "Fang Cai's subordinates still think something happened...... I didn't expect ...... There is absolutely nothing to break His Majesty and Miss Xiao......"

I was stunned, my vision gradually became clear, and the bottom of my eyes outlined Yuwen Yong's handsome face, I suddenly understood what was happening, from their point of view, this posture between me and Yu Wenyong was indeed enough to make people reverie. I was embarrassed and immediately pushed the person away from me.

Yu Wenyong's sharp eyes swept over the person on the threshold, and the two of them suddenly shuddered and said, "Your Majesty continues...... The subordinates will leave. Saying that, he fled in a panic, and did not forget to cover the door when he left.

I wiped my kissed eyebrows with my sleeve in disgust, and said angrily: "Have you had enough of the fourth son?!" ”

A trace of embarrassment flashed in Yu Wenyong's eyes, and when he saw me wiping it with disgust, his face was cold, "My son is too lazy to continue playing with you, just staying in the same room with you makes me feel depressed and uncomfortable." ”

I knelt on the ground with half of my body and said in a good voice: "Then you should go out quickly, the air will be fresh when you leave here, and others can breathe smoothly, be happy, and feel comfortable." ”

Yu Wenyong didn't get angry when he heard what I said, he just straightened up and looked at me with a haughty attitude, "I won't surrender my identity to quarrel with a lowly woman like you, don't you want to take a bath, hurry up and wash, don't let me wait outside for too long." ”

After that, Yu Wenyong flipped his long sleeves, went to the door and pulled the door, and went out like this.

After taking a bath, I gave the room to Yu Wenyong to take a bath and walked out of the guest room alone.

It was late at night, everyone had washed and slept, and there were very few people dining in the inn at this time, and when I went downstairs, I saw a green-shirted swordsman leaning on the table and drinking.

After a moment's hesitation, he walked over with a step, sat down across from him, and pondered how to speak.

Seeing me sitting down, he raised his eyes and looked at me with a smile, "Girl has something to say?" ”

When he looked at me like this, I calmed down and spoke, "How can you be sure that I have something to say to you?" ”

He smiled faintly: "Along the way, the girl frequently peeked at me, and she stopped talking, but the people around her didn't dare to speak. It's just the two of us this time, and after holding it for so long, you still don't plan to say it? ”

Along the way, I did secretly observe him, and I always wanted to ask him if he was the person who gave the at night, but because Yu Wenyong was not able to speak, I didn't expect to be discovered by him, and I suddenly became a little embarrassed and asked, "Do you know how to blow the flute?" ”

"Yes."

I simply asked again, "Are you the one who is giving the these nights?" ”

"It's me." He looked at me with bright eyes and said leisurely, "The tune I play has the effect of relieving pain and sleeping." ”

"Thank you." I thanked me softly.

"I've always been like this, and when I see a pitiful cold kitten and puppy on the side of the road, I will occasionally add a blanket to them on a whim."

He poured his wine while talking, and said, "I say so, aren't you angry? ”

I raised my eyes slightly, unfazed, "What do I have to be angry about, life is alive, and there are still people who are willing to pity you, which means that you are lucky." Why treat the pity of others as a flood? People should not be afraid of the pity of others, but they should not even have a person who pities you. ”

His hand holding the cup paused for a moment, and affirmed: "You don't exclude others from pitying you, but you don't want others to pity you." ”

I didn't change my face and said: "If others pity you, it means that you have encountered something bad and your life is not satisfactory." Only people with a sick brain want to have a bad life, do I look like a sick person? ”

He suddenly stared at me with blazing eyes, "You don't want others to pity you, no matter what happens, you always look like nothing happened, silently hurting and enduring alone." You are afraid that others will see your weakness, and you are even more afraid that others will find out your weakness to attack you and hurt you, which is why you wrap yourself so hard. ”

I didn't rush to deny, "No, human characters are complex, there is a good side, there is an evil side, there is a weak side, there is a hard side, I just show others more of my hard side." ”

His gaze suddenly stopped on me, and he said, "You are a special girl." ”

My heart softened, and I couldn't tell what it felt. For so long, Yu Wenyong said that I was treacherous, Chen Qian said that I was cold-blooded and ruthless, and Chen Qian said that I had bad intentions. They scolded me, hated me, belittled me, humiliated me, and no one ever gave me an affirmation. Only the person in front of me said to me in such a warm tone, you are special, valuable, and not a meaningless mole ant to be despised by others.

I was touched in my heart, but I said lightly on my face: "Then tell me, where am I special?" ”

He said quietly like flowing water: "Among the many girls I have seen, some of them are squeamish, some are gentle, some are arrogant, some are arrogant, some are stubborn, but none of them are as tough as you." ”

"Hard?" That doesn't seem like a good adjective, I frowned faintly.

"You should have been through a lot of injuries, a lot of tribulations, you were beaten over and over again, and you got back up again and again. You don't like others who are blindly proud and don't bow their heads, you know how to give in appropriately, and this proper submission is only for the ultimate resistance. No matter how many times you are knocked down, you will be able to get back up again and be steadfast in choosing what you want. Although it was very painful and painful, you kept persevering and working hard. Miss Xiao, you are very brave, I admire your toughness. He looked at me quietly, with a sincere and soft gaze.

This person is so transparent, we have only been together for a long time, and we haven't even spoken a word to each other, but he can see me so thoroughly!

I was silent, not knowing what it was like, and said slowly, "How much do you know about me?" "If you analyze it so thoroughly, you must know a lot.

"Zhao Tong and Du Quan, including the fourth son, occasionally talk about you, I can probably guess what happened to you." His eyes flashed like a pool of gentle water, "The most important thing is not how much I know about you, it's that you have to get out of these messy things, and then change it and think about making your life happier." ”

"We should enjoy life, not endure it."

Yes, I was stunned, but I thought about his words a little seriously.

I've never had a heart-to-heart conversation with any man other than Master, and it's strange that I've been talking to a strange man for so long tonight, is it just because the sound of his flute has moved me?
