Qi Wenfu has never been a good person to get along with, he has a cold temperament, he is also indifferent, and he looks rigid and serious, but in fact, he is extremely calculating in some things.

For example, he hates being close to people.

Not just physically, but also the things around him.

Paper, ink, pen, inkstone, clothes and ornaments, without his permission, no one can touch them except Jinbao and Hanshan.

After she was picked up and returned to the Qi family, she stayed in the Qi family for more than half a year before she was allowed to step into the study of the Qi Wen Mansion.

She had been with Qi Wenfu for eight years, food, clothing, housing and transportation, making friends and guests, she was more familiar with Qi Wenfu than herself.

At that time, with a look and a word, she could understand all his thoughts and know what he wanted.

But now, Su Ruan felt that she couldn't understand Qi Wenfu a little.

……

When Qi Wenfu came back with wontons, he saw Su Ruan holding something in his hand and staring out the window in a daze.

He put down his things and walked closer, only to see clearly that what she was holding in her soft hand was the truncated jade he had given.

He had worn the broken jade for many years, and now there was a red rope strung on it, and a small buckle was braided on the rope, which was hung on Su Ruan's white neck.

The corners of Qi Wenfu's mouth curled, and a smile appeared in his dark eyes: "What do you think, so distracted?" ”

He opened the food box he had borrowed from the inn and brought out the steaming wontons from inside.

"A bowl of shepherd's cabbage, and a bowl of fish."

"The old man said that their fish wontons are all fresh scale fish caught from the pier, and the taste is extremely delicious, so I will buy it for you to taste."

"It's all less salt and no green onions, add some dried shrimp, hurry over and eat, while it's still hot."

When Su Ruan heard this, he walked to the table, and saw the two bowls of white wontons on the table.

There are a few drops of sesame oil floating on it, accompanied by some dried dried shrimp with a light red color, which makes people look very appetizing.

Su Ruan looked at Qi Wenfu and took out the spoons and chopsticks for her, and said, "How do you know that I don't like to eat green onions?" ”

She rarely picks her mouth and doesn't like to trouble people.

Even when she was at Xie's house, the people in the kitchen didn't know that she didn't like to eat green onions, and even the Chen family thought she could eat everything, and occasionally sent her two stacks of scallion puff pastry, almost all of which were sent into Cheng'er's stomach.

Qi Wenfu stuffed the spoon into her hand and said casually: "When you bought food on the street on the day of the Shangyuan Festival, you avoided all the things with green onions, and later when you bought fried cakes, you originally swallowed saliva when you looked at other people's fried cakes, but after the person sprinkled a handful of green onions into it, you turned around and left." ”

Su Ruan blinked, remembering that there seemed to be such a play.

She looked at Qi Wenfu with a spoon and was a little distracted.

Qi Wenfu turned around and saw her staring at herself intently, and said with a smile: "What do you watch me do, I don't care if I'm full, hurry up and eat, otherwise it will be cold later, and the old man specially told me that this fish wonton will be fishy as soon as it is cold......"

"Qi Wenfu, do you still like me?"

Su Ruan interrupted Qi Wenfu's chatter.

Qi Wenfu looked back at her, his expression was not strange, he just said, "What do you mean?" ”

Su Ruan picked the spoon in his hand: "Didn't you say before that you like me." ”

"yes."

"Then you ...... now"

"What now?"

Qi Wenfu looked at her with a white and tender little face, with a look of doubt in her big black and white eyes, obviously really puzzled, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "I thought I was quite obvious." ”

"If I don't like you, how can I take care of you everywhere?"

"If I don't like you, how can I get close to you and give you all the broken jade that I have close to?"

"Su Ruan, I'm not the kind of person who is indiscriminate, and I don't understand the different etiquette between men and women, if I wasn't happy with you and wanted to stay with you for the rest of my life, I wouldn't go to Jingnan with you alone."

It's a long way to Jingnan, and if he hadn't had Su Ruan's heart, he would never have gone with her.

It not only hurt her reputation, but also ruined his own reputation.

It's only because he has the intention of staying together after returning to Beijing, he will have fewer scruples, and he is also afraid that others will not take good care of Su Ruan and will not be able to protect her, otherwise he is not a badly kind person, and any messy person will be distressed and take care of her.

Su Ruan listened to his big vernacular that he wanted to stay with her for the rest of his life, and couldn't help but burn his cheeks, "But when you go to the Yuan Festival, you are not ......"

"What's not?"

Qi Wenfu suddenly leaned over.

Su Ruan instantly remembered the "tragic situation" of being rejected by the man with a black face that day, and his voice was several times quieter, "Aren't you unwilling to get into trouble......

Qi Wenfu said lightly: "It's not that I don't want to get rich, there are many sons in the Qi family, and there is no shortage of me, my mother even prepared my dowry for me in order to keep me from being lonely and old, just hoping that a woman can accept me." ”

"It's just Su Ruan, can you tell why you want me to join the family?"

"You want a man, you want me to be your son-in-law, in addition to continuing the bloodline for your father and the Su family, what other reasons are there? If you just want a man to help you have a baby, there are many men in Beijing, why do you choose me alone? ”

"My current status in the court, my family background, and my personality and temperament don't look like people who are willing to join the court."

"If you really just want to borrow children to have children, with your cleverness, you won't find me in such trouble."

When Qi Wenfu leaned closer, there was a faint fragrance of pine and bamboo on his body.

His broad figure almost caged the small her in his arms, and the sudden momentum made Su Ruan weak.

“……”

Su Ruan opened his mouth, raised his head to the dark eyes of Qi Wenfu, and when he faced his almost questioning words, his eyes couldn't help but dodge a little, and the fingers holding the spoon were a little white when his heart was beating hard, and only a hair whirl was revealed when he lowered his head.

She vaguely guessed what Qi Wenfu wanted.

My body couldn't help but get hot.

As Qi Wenfu said, she is a smart person.

Even if she didn't open her mind at first, but after so much, how could she not know anything?

Qi Wenfu looked at her with his eyes down, originally trying to force her to say the answer he wanted to hear, but when he saw her small ball with her neck shrunk and her head hanging down to look cowardly and cute, he suddenly softened his heart.

The little girl in front of her is stubborn, full of thorns, and is full of defense against everyone.

She has experienced too much danger and suffering, exhausted all her innocence and longing, and it is too easy for others to like the word, but it is too difficult for her to come.

Qi Wenfu actually couldn't tell when he was tempted by Su Ruan.

Maybe it was in Liyuan Spring, she was cunning and clever to beg him for mercy.

Maybe it was in front of the palace gate, she knelt down until the snow covered her body and refused to retreat.

Maybe it was in the deep palace, but when she was unconscious, she still pulled his sleeve and told him to leave a way out for him.

Maybe earlier, when I first saw her at Xie's house.

Her dark eyes were slightly bent, white and tender and soft patted his ass, showing two dimples and smiling at him, but when she dug pits one after another and buried him, he was planted in her hands.

People say that the first to move will lose first, but he originally didn't think so.

Now I know that this is true.

He was reluctant to force her.

Even if he desperately wanted to hear the word "like" come out of her mouth.

Su Ruan always felt that the gaze above her head was extremely hot, just when her heart was beating like thunder, thinking about what to say.

Qi Wenfu suddenly reached out and scratched her hair and let her go.

"Forget it, I won't force you."

"It's just Ruan Ruan, don't doubt my heart for you."

"I'm not a bodhisattva who purifies all sentient beings, and I'm not a bad person who will help anyone, when you figure out the answer I want, then I will bring my own dowry and send myself into the gate of the Su family."

He raised his lips slightly,

"I still wish you had married me."

There was a faint pink floating in the corners of Su Ruan's eyes, and her face was very gorgeous when she was said by his words, and when she looked at Qi Wenfu, where her eyebrows and eyes were stretched and curved, for a moment, the throbbing in her heart made her almost blurt out.

In fact, it is not impossible to get married.

Only Qi Wenfu directly bent his fingers and flicked her at this time, "Okay, don't look at me, hurry up and eat wontons, if you don't eat it, it's really cold." ”

"Oh."

Su Ruan's impulse was bounced away, and when he tried to speak again, he was full of confusion.

She rubbed her head, thinking crankily as she lowered her head and took a bite of the large wonton in the spoon.

The umami mixed with the juice instantly overflowed the mouth, and the soft and delicate fish meat did not smell fishy at all, and it was so delicious that people even wanted to swallow it on their tongues.

After Su Ruan chewed and swallowed, he bent his eyes and said, "It's delicious!" ”

Qi Wenfu saw that she was eating sweetly with her cheeks, and her eyes were very shiny and beautiful, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl, and there were sparkling waves in his black eyes, all of which were full of smiles.

"Then eat more."

Su Ruan pushed another bowl in front of him: "You eat it too." ”

Qi Wenfu smiled: "Okay." ”

……

Su Ruan didn't have a lot of rice, so after eating half a bowl of fish and meat wontons, and adding a few shepherd's cabbage fillings, his stomach was round.

Qi Wenfu didn't dislike it, and after directly solving all the leftovers she ate, she asked people to return the food box, and the appetizing plums she bought before became digestible.

After Su Ruan rested for a while and let the medicine be decocted and sent in, Su Ruan was a little drowsy after taking the medicine, but there was a faint pain in his knees, and he didn't know if it was because it was too humid near the dock, or because he had a cold before.

The pain was not serious, it was just like a small insect bite, but it was not that she couldn't bear it, she was afraid of disturbing people's rest, so she wanted to endure it.

Who knew that before falling asleep, the innkeeper was carrying two soup women and sent them over.

"Who told you to send it?" Su Ruan was puzzled.

"That's what the boy with you commanded."

Xiao Er smiled and said, "It's already spring now, and the sky is warm, this thing has already been put away, after the boy ordered, the villain still looked for a long time to find it." ”

After Su Ruan took the soup woman and sent Xiao Er back to the house, he stuffed the things into the quilt and pressed against his knees for a while, feeling that there was less pain than before, and the warmth spread along his legs.

She couldn't help muttering, she only knew that Qi Wenfu was troublesome before, and he had to be picky about everything he ate and drank, but she didn't see that he was so considerate.

Is this heart-warming and thoughtful energy just because I like it?

Su Ruan remembered what Qi Wenfu said before, saying that he had packed his dowry and sent him into the mansion by himself, she couldn't help but snicker, and pulled the quilt over her face.

Thought.

Otherwise, after returning to Beijing, she will propose a kiss first?

Otherwise, the fourth master of the dignified Qi family will bring his own dowry and ask for marriage, how embarrassing it is.

Anyway......

She seems to have been moved, too.
