Banzhi looked at Cen Ximian who was bathing behind the screen, pursed his lips or turned his back, and carefully unfolded the plain white cloth in his hand. There is no embroidery on this square veil, but if you look carefully under the light, you will find that there are some dark water ripples on it, which is actually a veil cut from floating silk.

This kind of material has never been used, but it is also known, it is a rare thing, even Cen Jiabuzhuang can't find a few horses at the moment. Although Cen Xijun has the habit of carrying a handkerchief with him, he will not use such materials. Banzhi frowned, and there was a faint fragrance between the handkerchiefs in his hands, not the smell of Cen Xijun's body...... It's more like a fat powder scent.

"What are you doing!"

Cen Xijun didn't know when he finished taking a shower and stood behind Banzhi.

"Ah......h

Banzhi was looking at the veil in contemplation, but Cen Xi's sudden voice startled her. subconsciously came back to his senses, but before he could say anything, he was pulled by Cen Xi's body and shaken.

Cen Xijun saw the plain white handkerchief pinched in Banzhi's hand, and his eyes were unnatural for a moment, but the next moment he stepped forward with a cold face and pulled out the handkerchief from Cen Xijun's hand, and the friction of the material made Banzhi's fingertips feel a touch of pain.

"Ah, I'm sorry...... I packed my clothes and saw it...... Where did you get it? I wish I hadn't seen ......."

Banzhi could see that Cen Xijun was angry, but she still couldn't help but ask more, after all, ...... Nothing after all, she just wanted to ask, she had to ask.

Banzhi smiled, but the further back he said, the more reluctant he became, and when he finished the last word, there was no expression on his face.

“…… There are so many things in my room that you haven't seen before, do you want to ask them one by one? You have the skill to ask, but I don't have the skill to answer. ”

Cen Xi paused slightly, and the hurtful words were said mercilessly. As he spoke, he tucked the handkerchief into his bosom, without looking at half of the branch from beginning to end.

"Ah, did you go to see Miss Yu today?"

Seeing Cen Xi's abnormal appearance, half of the branch remembered the letter for no reason. Yu Jin didn't know what was written on the letter, but he saw that Cen Ximi's face was not very good after reading the letter at that time, and now I think about it is a tricky matter.

"Ah, if you have anything, don't hide it from me, no matter if it's good or bad, I have to carry it with you."

Seeing that Cen Xi was silent, Banzhi only silently stepped forward to hold his arm and looked up at him. There was some distress and firmness in her soft eyes.

Cen Ximian rarely saw such a tough and domineering side of Banzhi, looking at the little girl's apricot eyes with a fine light, he only felt that his heart had almost turned into a puddle of water, and he couldn't make a cold face to her.

"Ah, are you...... What are you feeling embarrassed about? Or is it threatened? ”

Banzhi is sensitive, how could she not see such an obvious change in Cen Ximi, but she didn't think that all this was because of the revival of his old relationship with Yu Jin. It's not that half of the branch is boasting, it's just that during this period of time, she knows Cen Ximian's personality and believes in the relationship between them. Even so, the only thing that can force Cen Xijun to act like this is that he encounters troubles that are difficult to solve.

Cen Xijun was indulging in Banzhi's warm words and comfort, but when he heard Banzhi's words, he suddenly sobered up. The thought of compromise was immediately dissipated.

Banzhi guessed right, Cen Xijun treated her like this because she chose the third path given by Yu Jin. In the past, he would not have looked at such a threat as Hu Pei. It's just that this time is different from the past, the Cen family has fallen, and he has become a cripple again, and now against Hu Pei, the son of Shangzhi County, Cen Xijun has no chance of winning, he can not care about his life, but he can't drag half of the branch to risk together.

Cen Xi didn't believe Yu Jin's promise, but her thoughts were right. As long as he can convince Hu Pei that he is disgusted with Banzhi, then Hu Pei will most likely lose interest in Banzhi. As for how likely it is, it depends on how ruthless he can be.

Cen Xijun made up his mind to put half of the branch out of the conspiracy before Hu Pei made a move, and he was soft-hearted for a while, but now he can no longer covet the moment of sweetness in front of him.

"I'm really going to see Xiaojin today...... She's not having a good time......"

Cen Xijun no longer showed a cold look towards Banzhi, but grabbed Banzhi's hand in the crook of his arm, and looked at her with a little panicked. is obviously worried about Yu Jin's situation.

Banzhi knows Cen Ximian, so even if he turns out a woman of unknown origin on him, he still believes him, and Cen Ximian also knows Banzhi, but now he has to use this understanding to make Banzhi die.

Sure enough, Banzhi's body stiffened when he heard this, and Cen Xijun could clearly feel the small hand in his palm suddenly clenched.

"Ah...... Miss Yu is now Mrs. Hu......"

Banzhi didn't know what to say, so he could only spit out such a sentence weakly, and he hoped that Cen Xijun could understand the insurmountable barrier between him and Yu Jin.

"I know! But Hu Pei didn't treat her well! He dared to do something to Xiaojin! How dare he ......"

Banzhi didn't expect that his subconscious words could cause such a big reaction from Cen Xizhi, Cen Xizhi suddenly pulled his arm out of Banzhi's hand, and Banzhi was staggered, and he was a little dazed after stabilizing his body.

Cen Xijun didn't seem to notice the sparseness on half of the branches, but he still vented his dissatisfaction with Hu Pei, and his big hand slapped the table as a sound, and even the eyes that had always been cold were churning with surging hatred.

Banzhi didn't step forward, nor did he speak, just stood aside and watched Cen Xijun go crazy, as if watching a monkey play, his moist apricot eyes were extremely serious without blinking, and he couldn't help laughing out loud when he looked at it.

Cen Xijun was still acting hard, and suddenly heard the laughter from beside him, and the movements in his hands paused, and his scarlet eyes couldn't help but turn to the side and laugh to himself. After seeing her full of ridicule, Cen Xijun only felt that his heart was slashed, and he subconsciously took a step forward with his left foot and wanted to take the person into his arms, but before he could reveal his stuffing, Banzhi took the initiative to speak:

"Ah, what do you want to do?"

After Banzhi finished speaking, his usual obedient smile appeared on his face, as if he was really just discussing with him how to save Yu Jin, a 'hard-working' woman.

"Zhizhi, I ......"

Cen Xijun was confused when he saw Banzhi's extremely aggrieved appearance, where could he answer Banzhi's words now, and he opened his mouth weakly, but he didn't say why. Cen Xijun, who has always been able to speak well, was dumbfounded by half a sentence.

"Ah, do you sympathize with her or love her?"

Banzhi didn't mean to wait for Cen Xijun's answer, just looked at him fixedly, and then threw out a cone-hearted sentence.

Cen Xi's hand pressed on the table tightened suddenly, and the green tendons on the back of his hand were exposed, but he had nothing to say.

"Ah, a woman's marriage is like rebirth, if she marries a good person, the suffering she suffered in the past is nothing, if she is not married, then no matter how much happiness she enjoyed in the past, it is in vain, so I sympathize with the woman who marries a non-human, but ...... I don't sympathize with Yu Jin,...... Ah Jia she should have married you, you are a rare lover in the world, but Yu Jin abandoned you, after you broke her leg for her, she abandoned you! I hate her, so she's to blame for it so far......."

Banzhi said word by word, patiently and meticulously teaching Cen Xijun like a master, lest he repeat the mistakes of the past. is obviously a soft voice, but Cen Ximian can hear the affection between the lines.

"Shut up! …… Xiaojin grew up with me, and even if she married someone else, she was also my Cen Ximi's sister! ”

Cen Xi's eyes drooped, pretending to be extremely annoyed and yelling at Banzhi, but in fact, he couldn't bear to look at Banzhi's eyes that were already full of tears. His tone was stern, but it was full of protection for Yu Jin.

Half of the branch originally trusted Cen Xijun, and now he is disappointed. Cen Xijun is a trustworthy person, and he is very reassuring in every way...... Except in the matter of Yu Jin. On the first day that Banzhi came to Cen Ximi's side, he saw Cen Ximian drunk because of Yu Jin's marriage, and now I think about it, he was drunk and said nonsense, and every sentence was saving Yu Jin. Now every sentence echoed in Banzhi's ears, smashing her into a dizziness.

Banzhi has long known that Cen Xijun has a deep affection for Yu Jin, although Cen Xijun has expressed his heart to her more than once later, but Banzhi has some doubts in his subconscious. It's not that she doesn't believe in Cen Xijun, but she doesn't believe in herself. Half of the branches have always been self-aware, and even a little inferior.

Yu Jin is everyone's best girl, and she is just an illiterate maid, and the two of them are different from each other when they are put together. It is impossible for Banzhiyuan to have any intersection with Yu Jin, but now because of Cen Xiyi, she is nailed to such an embarrassing situation. Banzhi knew the difference between her and Yu Jin, and her already inferior heart was pierced with holes, but for the sake of a Cen Xi, she was also willing to eat.

Such a humble mind may be a bit hypocritical to say, if it is placed on other people, there may not be such troubles, just hold Cen Xijun tightly, but it is indeed difficult to ignore the inferiority complex in the heart of a little girl of Banzhi's age.

Banzhi has a soft temperament and a sensitive mind, so it is not suitable to stay by Cen Ximian's side, but she is stubborn and stubborn, and since she likes Cen Ximi, she is not ready to let go. So when she noticed Cen Xijun's thoughts about her, she didn't flinch, but just suppressed the confusion in her heart and walked to him with a smile.

Banzhi thought at that time, even if there was only a moment like this, she would be satisfied, and the current scene was expected. But even if he had a guess in his heart early on, and he really came to this point, the pain in Banzhi's heart would not be reduced by half a point because he had already expected it.

"Sure enough, you can't keep the stolen things......"

Half of the branch pursed his mouth, and he wanted to cry again, but in the end he couldn't help it, showed a crying and laughing expression, lowered his eyes and muttered, and stopped looking at Cen Ximi.

"It's not too early, young master, let's rest early, the slave and maid have retired."

Cen Ximian stared at the top of half of the hair, and his heart may not be better than her, the two of them came to this point, which was tantamount to stabbing each other.

After being silent for a long time, Banzhi finally spoke, and a few ordinary words were more ruthless than any words. After saying that, Banzhi saluted and withdrew, leaving Cen Xiyu alone to stand in the house for half a night.

This night, the two people who slept across the wall did not close their eyes.

————————————

It's been three months since the last time the two had a conflict.

During this period of time, several anecdotes have happened in Shanghai, and these things are all related to the lame man in Cen Mansion.

It is only said that the lame boy was disabled in order to save the current Mrs. Hu Shao, and later the Yu family retired from the Cen Mansion, and that Miss Yu was fortunate to be the eldest young grandmother of the Hu Mansion.

Cen Xi didn't do much too much, but whenever Mrs. Hu Shao went out of the house, she would follow her, not near or far, and she would not come forward to talk, if Mrs. Hu Shao didn't come out of the door, he would wander around the door of Hu's house, and he couldn't drive away, and he was disgusting and dead for no reason!

The gatekeeper of Hu Mansion couldn't stand it anymore, so he surrounded people and beat them, just a few days after they were clean, Cen Xijun actually came again, so two or three times still didn't work. It is the prison of the Yamen, Cen Xijun was also escorted there, but he couldn't be convicted, and he was released again after being locked up for a day and a half, and the whole person was like a dog skin plaster, and he couldn't get rid of it.

Later, it was the young master Hu Pei who was kind-hearted, so he only ordered his subordinates to protect the young lady, and Cen Xijun went with him if he had no other moves. As a result, Hu Pei's reputation has improved more than a little bit in Shanghai, and he is praised when he is mentioned. And Cen Xijun is the opposite, many people laughed at him, saying that he was a toad who wanted to eat swan meat, or a toad who was only lame! At the same time, the rumors of the former young genius are now stupid and crazy are also intensifying.

Cen House

The end of the year has come, and now is the cold time. A few days ago, the first snow of the year fell in Shanghai, and it has not stopped until today, but fortunately, the snow is not strong, and it has not caused any disaster, but it has added a bit of New Year's flavor.

It's almost noon, and there's still a little snow in the sky. Half a branch stood at the gate of the courtyard with an umbrella, the hand holding the umbrella was red from the cold, but there was no intention of going back to the house, just standing outside the threshold, from time to time stepping on the feet to look ahead, a pair of apricot eyes faintly full of anxiety.

She was waiting for Cen Xi. Since the fight began three months ago, Cen Xijun's actions have been all to entertain Banzhi's love for him, and now, Banzhi no longer has any expectations for him, just looking at his crazy appearance, but he can't be ruthless and leave him alone.

Now that Mrs. Cen is not in the house, there is only half a branch that can take care of Cen Xi's family. Soon after she broke up with Cen Xi, Mrs. Cen was picked up by her younger brother. I don't know what the reason is, but I know that this trip will take more than a year. Mrs. Cen originally wanted to take Cen Xijuan away, but he refused on the grounds of taking care of Buzhuang. Banzhi couldn't help but sigh when he thought of what Mrs. Cen said before leaving.
