Chapter 022: Protect Her
In the middle of the night, after the charm, Qin Yi was as indifferent as ever.
Seeing that he was leaving, thinking of the cold temperature on his side, Lu Jinhua actually crossed a trace of fear in his heart. Caused by emotion, she suddenly got up and put her arms around his waist, and said softly in the gentlest tone: "Is it okay for Brother last month not to go?" Jin wants you to stay......"
Qin Yi's heart faltered, and he didn't know how to respond.
After a while, he continued to move his hands, and when he was dressed in brocade clothes, his hand covered the small hand she held around his waist, and his tone was light: "There are still people waiting for me, you have to be sensible." ”
Sensible? She laughed at herself, and her burning heart instantly became cold.
Sharing her husband generously with others, she will never want to understand such a "thing".
But she recognized the reality, and it was not good for her to dwell on it. The fingers on his waist loosened little by little, and her eyes were full of reluctance, and she could only let the residual temperature disappear in the palm of her hand.
Then she took a deep breath, held back the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes, and smiled lightly: "It's Xiaojin who is too young, and my brother should go last month." It's cold at night, so be careful! After saying that, he turned over and completely buried himself in the quilt.
Qin Yi stood beside the bed, his fingers curled up.
He really wanted to lie down next to her again, hug her into his arms, stay with her for one night, stay with her for ten days, and stay with her for the rest of his life. But at this moment, there is only so much he can give.
Fingers ran over her slightly bare back, tucking the corners of the quilt for her, and he turned and walked out the door.
With a squeak, Lu Jinhua felt a wet piece on his face.
shouldn't be greedy, she kept saying to herself, her brother was not her alone last month, and it was already a matter of gratitude that he could come over, how could she expect more?
The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable it became, she hugged herself tightly, and finally cried.
A vague whimper overflowed from the crack in the door, and Qin Yi stood at the door, not taking a step.
The black shadow jumped down from the mountain stone in the courtyard, landed lightly in front of him, and saluted respectfully: "Master." ”
Qin Yi frowned slightly, half-closed his eyes, and did not respond.
In fact, no matter whether Lu Jinhua was behind him or not, he didn't dare to treat her well.
If he had, he would have fallen into a trap and would die with no place to bury. If not, then she will be Qin Xie's weakness to threaten him. She has lost too much in this power game, and he doesn't want her to be caught in the middle, caught in right and wrong, and hurt again.
But when he thought of her smiling reluctantly, her eyes full of tears and pretending to be strong, his heart would hurt so much that he could hardly breathe. The moment she opened her mouth to beg him to stay, the illusion that he had tried to maintain for five years almost collapsed.
Xiaojin ......
After all, she couldn't leave, she was reluctant, she couldn't escape, and she couldn't let her be sad alone.
"Master, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Shiqi was a little worried.
Qin Yi suddenly lost his mind, his mood was still very complicated, and he commanded in a low voice: "In the future, you don't have to secretly follow this king, just take care of Xiaojin." ”
Shiqi was startled, and said hesitantly: "Master, my subordinates have only been responsible for your safety since they joined Lingyu Castle, and they have been ...... recently."
"Huh?"
"Recently, there have been frequent movements over there, and the people gathered are all first-class masters, and your subordinates should be by your side, not leaving an inch!" Shiqi pinched a handful of sweat in his palm.
In his eyes, Lu Jinhua is just a woman with a complex identity background, where is the master's life important?
I thought that I was justified, and the master would not insist anymore, but I heard Qin Yi say: "Then you have to protect her." Nan Nan is a little fool, and she doesn't know how to work at all. The tone was very spoiling.
Shiqi instantly felt like he was being struck by lightning, and said, "Does the master want to put his own safety at risk for a woman?" Don't forget, there's a good chance she's from there. ”
Being stabbed in the sore spot, Qin Yi's expression changed slightly, and he muttered: "People over there? ”
"Yes...... Yes. Shiqi's voice trembled, as if he had expected it.
Sure enough, the corners of Qin Yi's lips suddenly hooked, with a smile that he couldn't understand: "Even if she is from over there, this king has to protect her." ”
Shiqi: "......"
Before he could speak again, Qin Yi raised his hand: "Look at Xiaojin, this is an order." Stopped the topic that the teenager didn't understand.
