Chapter 276: Suspicion
Bai Jiujiu was drowsy when she heard it, she really wanted to sleep, after all, she had to go out in the middle of the night to clean up the strange beasts. But Xu Huaiqing didn't seem to feel it, and he couldn't be in good spirits.
"Huaiqing, go to sleep." Bai Jiujiu muttered quietly.
Xu Huaiqing's eyes were deep, staring at the person in his arms, and he curled his lips and said, "Hmm." ”
In the middle of the night, Bai Jiujiu opened her eyes again, Xu Huaiqing also had the intention of waking up, she hurriedly pressed the other party's hand, and softly comforted, "Shh, Huaiqing, you sleep, I'll go drink a glass of water." As he spoke, he input his spiritual power into Xu Huaiqing's body.
Xu Huaiqing, who was about to wake up, felt a powerful sleepiness coming, tilted his head, and fell asleep completely. Bai Jiujiu breathed a sigh of relief slightly, fortunately she was witty, otherwise she wouldn't be able to get out today. Skillfully changing into black clothes, Bai Jiujiu pushed open the window and disappeared into the night.
When Xu Huai woke up, he found Bai Jiujiu lying in his arms, sleeping soundly, he reached out and gently stroked her cheek, obviously nothing had happened recently, but why did she look so tired, the cyan marks under her eyes were so obvious.
Bai Jiujiu seemed to be a little uncomfortable by him, shaking his head to avoid his touch, Xu Huaiqing withdrew his hand, looking thoughtful, perhaps, he should ask Bai Jiujiu, she seemed to have something to hide from herself. It's a very uncomfortable feeling.
Bai Jiujiu woke up as usual, and found that Xu Huai had woken up early in the morning, leaning against the head of the bed and flipping through a book, when he saw her wake up, he hooked the corners of his mouth at her, and his voice was hoarse, "Awake?" ”
Suddenly my ears felt like they had been hit by something, crispy. numb.
"Hmm." Bai Jiujiu covered his mouth and yawned, his eyes filled with mist. After the fight, I saw that Xu Huaiqing looked at her steadily.
"You...... Look at what I'm doing. Bai Jiujiu's heart was a little numb.
"Tired?" Xu Huaiqing stretched out his fingers, touched the corners of her red eyes, and asked softly.
Bai Jiujiu opened his eyes and said nonsense, "Yes, I had a lot of dreams last night, and I dreamed that someone was chasing me behind, but I was exhausted, and my legs still hurt." ”
When Xu Huaiqing heard this, he hugged her to himself, rubbed her calves with his big hands, his movements were gentle, the strength was moderate, and Bai Jiujiu was almost humming when he was comfortable.
With a smile in his eyes, Xu Huaiqing asked with a smile, "Are you comfortable?" ”
"Well, it's comfortable." Bai Jiujiu half-closed his eyes and almost fell asleep again.
was enjoying it, Xu Huaiqing suddenly said, "Is the embroidery workshop very busy today, I see that you are not in good spirits." ”
"No, not very busy." Bai Jiujiu's vigilance lowered and replied casually.
It is true that the embroidery workshop is not busy, but she is busy with other things. Xu Huaiqing lowered his eyes and looked at her with an unpredictable expression. If the embroidery workshop was not busy, why would she be so tired, Xu Huaiqing remembered the situation when she fell asleep in the embroidery workshop that day.
In the end, he didn't ask anything, but he didn't give up, but secretly observed. For example, this day was his rest, he didn't go out all day, but followed Bai Jiujiu at any time, but he still didn't find anything, everything was normal with Bai Jiujiu.
In the morning, they went to the embroidery workshop together, and in the embroidery workshop, they either instructed the embroidery girls or introduced their things to the customers, and Bai Jiujiu was as usual, without any abnormalities.
Xu Huaiqing sat in the corner and kept looking at Bai Jiujiu secretly. And Bai Jiujiu also knew that Xu Huaiqing was suspicious, and her actions were more careful than before, she knew that Xu Huaiqing was smart, once he found clues, then it was useless for her to say anything.
And so the days passed.
Because Bai Jiujiu has to spend a lot of spiritual power every night, his face has deteriorated at a speed that is visible to the naked eye, Xu Huaiqing can't ask why, he doesn't know what happened, so he can only ask his family to make more supplements for Bai Jiujiu.
Bai Jiujiu was moved, but she also felt even more guilty because of this. Xu Huaiqing is so good to her, but she wants to deceive him, I don't know how long she will deceive, maybe it won't be long before she will leave this place. If she could, she really hoped that Xu Huaiqing wouldn't be so nice to her, so that when she left, she would be a little more simple and not have to worry about another person.
"What's wrong?" Xu Huaiqing saw that Bai Jiujiu had been distracted, and asked with concern.
The two of them were eating in a restaurant outside, because Bai Jiujiu was in a bad mood, Xu Huaiqing took her out to relax, hoping that she could recover her spirits quickly.
Bai Jiujiu came back to his senses, pulled the corners of his mouth stiffly, and smiled, "It's okay." ”
It's okay to lie to others with this, but how can Xu Huaiqing, who knows her well, believe it? After eating, the two were wandering on the street, Xu Huaiqing protected Bai Jiujiu, and when the two passed through a lively street, they suddenly heard someone arguing in front of them, and stood next to them and looked, it turned out to be a bunch of young couples.
The woman said that the man deceived her, there was something to hide from her, and he was not honest, and the man said that there was no such thing, he was just tired from working outside, so he didn't have any energy when he went back, not like the woman said, he was green outside. Lou is blind.
But no one persuaded anyone, the woman cried and asked to be reconciled with the man, and the man was so anxious that he was on the side. Guaranteed, nothing.
Onlookers also persuaded the two of them one after another, saying that mutual trust is the most important thing, and it is better to talk about something.
Bai Jiujiu was frightened when she heard this, and subconsciously turned her head sideways to look at Xu Huaiqing, but she didn't expect Xu Huaiqing to look at her too, the two looked at each other, Bai Jiujiu hurriedly moved away with a weak heart, and walked forward first, with words in her mouth, "Let's go, let's go, it's too late, and they have to worry about it again." ”
Behind him, Xu Huaiqing chased after him slowly, Bai Jiujiu felt a little thorny in his back, and he knew that Xu Huaiqing had been staring at her behind him.
She was a little anxious, she wanted to speed up her pace, and she felt that there would be no silver here, so she kept her original pace, but her fingers subconsciously curled up.
"Jiujiu." Xu Huaiqing's voice sounded slowly.
Bai Jiujiu snorted, lowered his head and didn't dare to look at him.
"Do you have anything to say to me?"
"Nope." Bai Jiujiu said categorically.
After finishing speaking, the atmosphere was quiet for a moment, and Xu Huaiqing sighed softly, looking quite helpless. Bai Jiujiu bit his lip and glanced at the other party worriedly, "Huaiqing, what do you mean by this, do you suspect that I have something to hide from you?"
"No, I don't doubt you, I'm just worried about you."
Bai Jiujiu blinked in confusion, "Why are you worried about me?" ”
"You're so tired these days, I'm a little worried in my heart, if something happens, I hope you can tell me, instead of holding it in my heart and we can find a way to solve it together." Xu Huaiqing's voice carried a reassuring power.
