Chapter 006: Borrowing something from you
Since she got the advanced chess game, Cheng Xi began to cramm, every day before the rooster crowed, she was already sitting at the desk to study, and in the dead of night she was still reading at night, feeling such a hard-working attitude, which reminded her of the fear of being dominated by the college entrance examination.
"Princess, you look at it day and night, and you have to pay attention to your body, you look in the mirror yourself, you have lost a lot of weight." Hongye sent ginseng soup, and looked at Cheng Xi still playing chess with two dark circles under his eyes, and reminded distressedly.
Cheng Xi still has time to look in the mirror, seeing that the Huachao chess game is approaching day by day, although the assault practice at this time only solves the urgent need, but the effect should not be underestimated, she has gained a lot of skills and ways to break the game.
As soon as he finished drinking the ginseng soup, and closed his eyes under the semi-forced of the red leaves, Shui Yue came in to report the visit of the lord of Ruiwang.
"I don't have time to see her, I'm studying seriously." Cheng Xi said perfunctorily, and devoted himself to a new round of reading.
As soon as the words fell, a young woman's voice came from outside: "Alas, Sister Xi'er is so ruthless, I still miss you in vain, what is it worth your concentration to let my sister study and study." ”
Then, a girl about seventeen or eighteen years old walked in like a gust of wind, she was wearing a light purple dress, the jewelry on her wrists jingled, looking at Cheng Xi's apricot eyes and smiling, the whole person was lively and smart.
"Of course it's a chess game of the Flower Dynasty, I'm just afraid that Sister Ying is having a lot of fun playing outside, so I've forgotten about it a long time ago, right?" Cheng Xi couldn't hide, so he could only pretend to be angry and complain.
Cheng Ying, the lord of Ruiwang County, is her cousin and only friend, the two have been together since childhood, and now that she is visiting, Cheng Xi is up to deal with it, and I don't know what tricks she is going to inculcate.
"How could I miss the annual event?" Cheng Ying pulled Cheng Xi to sit down with a worried expression, "I heard that a lot of things happened when I came back, you can't walk because of the Jiang family's maid, how can you easily ground, at least let her not walk!" ”
Looking at Cheng Ying's indignant appearance, Cheng Xi had a headache, for fear that she would really break Jiang Jingxian's legs, so she immediately reassured: "I can't walk, I'm almost better, but Miss Jiang Er can't participate in the Hua Dynasty chess game, which can be regarded as a bitter fruit." ”
Seeing that Cheng Xi looked like an adult who didn't remember the villain's past, Cheng Ying no longer held her accountable, but she still sighed, took out a thin book from her sleeve, handed it to Cheng Xi and said, "She can't participate in the Huachao chess game, why did you quit?" Take this opportunity to show it in front of Shen Rang, you see, I specially brought you the chess game. ”
Cheng Xi took it and flipped through it, the chess game inside was indeed something she had never seen, and she was about to thank her after happily accepting it, Cheng Ying put a small box in her hand again.
"This is the incense I bought from an exotic merchant when I was traveling, and it only takes a few days to smoke it, and it can turn a man's fascination away." Cheng Ying winked at her and whispered, "You use this incense and ask Shen Rang to come over, it will definitely make him forget Jiang Jingxian!" ”
Cheng Xi opened it with great suspicion, only sniffed it, and sneezed several times in a row, she felt that her facial nerves began to twitch, isn't this an inferior fragrance! How can it have such a magical effect! Cheng Ying, you have been deceived by profiteers!
But under the gaze of Cheng Ying and Ai Ai, Cheng Xi could only close the box and thank you, and the two chatted for a while about the journey, and learned that Cheng Ying was going to the border of Dayue to practice after participating in the Hua Dynasty chess game, and was quite envious.
Cheng Ying saw through Cheng Xi's thoughts, took her hand, and said with a smile: "Sister, I have lived the life I want, and Sister Mingruo will definitely live your ideal life, which will not be too far." ”
Sending Cheng Ying away, Cheng Xi looked at the incense she had explicitly hinted at several times, and finally threw it aside to continue studying and playing chess, but she didn't expect that the box of incense made her allergic to it!
In the evening, she felt dizzy and bloated, and when she lay in bed after dinner, she felt even more nauseous and sick to her stomach.
At first, I thought it was a small cold with overdraft, until I saw two blushes on my face through the mirror, and it was still a little itchy, and Hongye said that the incense had been used to smoke the room, so she hurriedly asked Hongye to open the window to ventilate, deal with allergens, and told Shuiyue to ask Ji Chengjin.
There was a light rain in the sky, Cheng Xi was wrapped in a quilt and lay on the bed waiting for Ji Chengzhen, Hongye was still very worried at the bedside and persuaded her to see a doctor if she was sick, but Ji Gongzi couldn't treat the disease.
No, he can! Cheng Xi said that he was suffering, sighed silently, and looked at the dark and oppressive sky outside the window, which was quite like a mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings.
didn't wait long, Ji Chengjin entered the room, Cheng Xi waved his hand to let Hongye and Shui Yue retreat, the two of them glanced at each other, and closed the door quietly, although they didn't know the princess's purpose of inviting Ji Gongzi, they both saw sympathy for him in each other's eyes.
Ji Chengjin didn't know why, but after seeing pity in the eyes of Hongye and Shui Yue, he clenched his fists and stood at the door without moving, but there was a sound of urns in the room: "Ji Gongzi, I'm really sorry, I invite you to come tonight, I hope to do me a favor." ”
There was no movement in the room, Cheng Xi also felt extremely embarrassed, tens of thousands of alklamas ran over in her heart, and she coughed lightly: "Master Ji, I swear to God, I just asked you to borrow something." ”
The other party was so polite that it seemed to be a different person, and after a short thought, Ji Chengjin decided to see what her purpose was.
When he walked in, he found that the window was wide open, and there was a sweet fragrance in the air, and there was a man lying on the bed, with the quilt covering most of his face, revealing only a pair of willow eyes.
Ji Chengjin paused, and anger appeared in his heart.
Cheng Xi saw Ji Chengjin put his eyes on the desk with a stiff face, his whole body was full of anger, and realized that he must have misunderstood him, so he put down the Luo tent to prove his innocence, and after thinking about it, she still stretched out her hand and patted the stool next to the bed: "That, Ji Gongzi, can you take the pulse for me?" ”
Cheng Xi felt that this sentence, this tone, and this scene were especially like the wife of the water-based Yang Hua who was coaxing and abducting the young man who had never done anything in the world, she wanted to cry without tears, and she couldn't help it, if she could, she wanted to say to Ji Chengjin, you are my blood replenishment tool, and now that I have lost blood, I have to touch you to return blood, so hurry up and come over to me!
But she could only think about it, she heard Ji Chengjin say indifferently: "Take the pulse and find the imperial doctor." ”
"Wait!" Cheng Xi stopped Ji Chengjin, who turned around and left, she was out of words! Time stood still for a while, watching the rain getting heavier and heavier, she hurriedly said, "Oops, my books are wet from the rain, please trouble Ji Gongzi to close the window." ”
Ji Chengjin didn't move, and after Cheng Xi reminded him again, he pursed his lips, let go of his fist and acted according to his words, and before closing the window, he only gritted his teeth fiercely with the expression that he knew about the red leaves and the water moon.
Cheng Xi saw that Ji Cheng had closed the window and turned his back to her motionlessly, she considered it aggrievedly: "Master Ji, my illness is too incurable, I need you to be cured, I'm about to die, can you bear to see death and not save me?" ”
Ji Chengjin looked at her without warmth, as if she was now a corpse.
For Ji Chengjin, if he dies, he will be much easier, but Cheng Xi subconsciously believes that he is not so cold-blooded, he can still become a positive and good young man!
The smell of inferior incense in the tent couldn't be dispersed, Cheng Xi only felt her stomach churning, she couldn't help retching, and fell on the bed without strength, waiting for the discomfort to ease.
In the time when she was silent, Ji Chengjin opened his mouth slowly: "You're not dead, are you?" ”
Cheng Xi buried her face in the quilt, uncomfortable and didn't want to speak, and after waiting for a while, someone came over and stopped in front of the bed, she took advantage of her unpreparedness and quickly grabbed the corner of the person's clothes.
was tricked by Cheng Xi to come to the bedside, Ji Cheng was angry, he began to pull the corners of his clothes without saying a word, but Cheng Xi hurriedly stopped: "Ji Gongzi, I'm really uncomfortable......"
Before she finished speaking, she saw a burst of lightning and flint outside the window, and then a thunderbolt resounded in the sky, Cheng Xi was startled, grabbed the corner of Ji Chengjin's clothes and screamed.
Hongye and Shuiyue, who were guarding outside the door, heard the sound and made eye contact back and forth, the princess screamed so miserably, Ji Gongzi wouldn't bully the princess, right? No one knows what the situation is in the room, so rashly breaking in, in case he sees a scene that he shouldn't see, when he thinks of the appearance of the princess bullying Ji Gongzi on weekdays, how can it not be the princess who suffers.
Ji Chengjin frowned when he heard Cheng Xi's shout, but when he saw her hand holding the corner of his clothes tightly, he trembled slightly, and it was rare that he didn't brush it away.
Cheng Xi was originally afraid of thunder, but after knowing her ending, she was even more afraid of thunder, she was still young, but she didn't want to be killed by thunder! When the thunder gradually stopped, she calmed down, and when she opened her eyes, she found Ji Chengjin standing by the bed, looking at the corners of her clothes, showing no emotion.
"Let Ji Gongzi see it." Cheng Xi shyly loosened the corner of his clothes, took his hand hanging by his side with lightning speed, and praised him happily, "Ji Gongzi is really a good person." ”
Ji Chengjin was about to withdraw immediately, and said in a vicious tone: "You...... You don't want to ...... Inch in, put ...... Let go. ”
"Ji Gongzi, only you can save my life, it only takes two minutes, I don't believe you can time!" Cheng Xi said like a scoundrel, she held Ji Chengjin's hand with both hands, she wanted to return blood, no one could stop her from returning blood!
Ji Chengjin's hands are slightly larger, the joints are distinct, and the skin is not delicate, unlike a pair of pampered prince's hands, Cheng Xi's fingertips unconsciously rubbed the thin cocoon on his palm, and said seriously: "Ji Gongzi, why are you stuttering again?" This is a very bad language habit and psychological awareness habit, it must be because you usually talk too little, your voice is so good, you have to say more, speak slowly, don't worry, I'm listening. ”
Ji Chengjin wanted to withdraw his hand but didn't break free, he looked at Cheng Xi through the tent, and saw that her eyes were burning, and it didn't seem to be a fake.
Cheng Xi enjoyed the comfort of the gradual recovery of her health value, and she became sleepy in a daze: "It's really uncomfortable tonight, thanks to Ji Gongzi, there won't be thunder in the future, right?" I don't want to be killed by lightning at a young age, it will definitely hurt! ”
Afraid of thunder? Princess Mingruo, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, is afraid of thunder, it is unheard of, Ji Chengjin looked at the hands that held him, thoughtfully.
