Chapter 10: I'm Pulling You
Ruan Yu ignored Xiao Yuanji, who was shouting behind her, and went straight upstairs, and locked the door after entering the house, isolating all the excitement and quarrels.
She leaned against the door and touched her face.
I felt a cold tear.
She smiled.
I don't know when the tears slipped down, if it was when I confronted Xiao Yuanji, it would be too embarrassing.
After laughing, she bit her lip tightly, tears welling up.
There was clean water in the basin, and she walked over and took a handful with both hands and splashed it on her face. The cold water sealed her hot eyes, and she took a deep breath.
Then soak your hands in water and wash your wrists over and over again. After rubbing the acacia three or four times, the skin on her wrists was red, and she stopped.
The water in the basin is muddy, but you can still see your face. Ruan Yu was stunned for a moment at herself on the water, then slowly walked to the side of the bed and sat on the ground with her back against the edge of the bed.
She closed her eyes and emptied herself.
Don't think about anything, don't think about anything, just be quiet and stay by yourself for a while.
Slowly, the mood calmed down.
She didn't know how long she had been alone, only that it was dark outside when there was a knock on the door.
She stood up on the bed and went to open the door.
The moment the door opened, she was stunned, because the person in front of her was very tall, and she had to look up. After being in a daze for too long, her brain was a little dull, and she didn't realize who this person was for a while.
Lu Ye, that's right, it's Lu Ye.
"You ......"
Lu Ye smiled and lifted the food box he was carrying, "I'll send you something to eat." ”
She didn't eat lunch or dinner, and it stands to reason that she should be hungry at this time, but thanks to Xiao Yuanji's blessing, she didn't feel hungry at all.
Ruan Yu's hand holding the door let go and walked inside, "Thank you." ”
Rice still has to be eaten.
Lu Ye entered the house, closed the door, and then took the dishes out of the food box like the same. Bamboo shoots and chicken breasts, steamed eggs, three fresh soups and stir-fried wild vegetables are all hot, light and not greasy.
Ruan Yu thought it was amazing.
Why is this Lu Ye always able to pick the ones she eats from thousands of different dishes.
Is it because her tastes are too popular?
The moment the aroma of food spread in the air, hunger swept up all of a sudden, making Ruan Yu a little uncomfortable.
She picked up the spoon and scooped a spoonful of custard into her mouth.
Lu Ye sat down next to her.
He didn't speak, just watched her eat. It just so happened that Ruan Yu was so hungry that she didn't have time to take care of him, so she ate with all her heart. Ruan Yu ate slowly, chewed slowly, and it had been a long time since she was almost full.
Only then did Ruan Yu have the heart to think that there was a person sitting next to him.
"Where's Mingzhu?" She asked.
Lu Ye said: "Rest assured that you are resting next door." ”
"Oh." Ruan Yu nodded, "You can call them back." ”
Lu Ye looked at her, motionless.
"What's wrong?" Ruan Yu smiled awkwardly.
Lu Ye lowered his gaze, "You...... Really not going back? ”
Ruan Yu suddenly realized something, and her face turned cold, "You're here to persuade me?" ”
"It's not." Lu Ye frowned, "I mean to say, if you really don't want to go back, I can help you." ”
Ruan Yu was stunned.
She never expected that Xilianghou, who had only known her for a long time, would tell her, "I can help you".
For so many years, no one around her, including her closest relatives, had ever said this to her.
They will just say "I'm here for your good".
In fact, it is for her good or for their own good, it is unknown.
Ruan Yu stared at him, undeniably shocked, so much so that he was a little incoherent: "Why are you ...... You don't have to, really, you help me, it's against my father. Ruan Yu shook his head and sighed: "You really don't have to sympathize with me. ”
Last time in Xilianghou Mansion, Lu Ye had already helped her once. Although my father and mother did not pursue it, it does not mean that it will not be pursued every time.
Lu Ye said: "I'm not sympathetic to you. ”
Ruan Yu propped her head and smiled, "Why are you so nervous." Sympathy, sympathy, what I dare not say, I don't mind. ”
Lu Ye pursed his lips and didn't speak.
After being silent for a while, Ruan Yu said: "Actually, I told you last time, don't interfere in the matter between me and Xiao Yuanji, it will affect you." I know what to do. ”
Lu Ye asked, "Then what are you going to do?" ”
Ruan Yu turned his face to look at him, "I'll live outside for a few days now." ”
"And then go back?"
Ruan Yu said "ah" and laughed, "That's right." ”
Lu Ye's expression was not very good-looking.
"I can arrange a place for you where Xiao Yuanji can't find it."
"And then?" Ruan Yu asked with a smile: "You were belittled by my father and lost your power?" ”
Lu Ye narrowed his eyes.
Ruan Yu stood up, walked to the bedside and opened the window, the wind poured in, blowing her hair messy, and the candles in the room also swayed.
Lu Ye passed.
"I can't abandon my family, and I can't bear to let you suffer for me. They will allow me to struggle, but they will not allow me to break free. Ruan Yu raised her hand and wiped away a tear from the corner of her eye.
"Thank you, though."
Ruan Yu raised her face and smiled at him.
Her eyes were hazy, and she was coated with a faint halo by the candlelight, which was particularly gentle and intoxicating.
Lu Ambition was distracted.
A gust of wind blew out the candles, and the room went dark.
The sudden darkness made Ruan Yu a little nervous, and he subconsciously grabbed it in the direction where Lu Ye was, "Lu Ye? ”
The little girl's voice was very small, for fear of alarming something unclean.
She touched Lu Ye's waist.
Ruan Yu breathed a sigh of relief, didn't care what he caught, hurriedly dragged the piece of clothing, and pretended to be calm: "It should be the wind that blew out the candle, can you go and light it?" ”
There was an itching sensation from his waist, Lu Ye stiffened, raised his hand, grabbed the little girl's wrist, and took her hand away from his waist.
"Then I'll go and stand here by yourself?" Lu Ye's voice was hoarse.
There was no light around this wilderness, even the moon hid in the clouds, and Ruan Yu couldn't see anything.
"I ...... Afraid. Ruan Yu blushed and confessed.
She's so afraid of the dark, she can bear it if someone is there, but if no one is there...... It was a tragedy.
Lu Ye laughed in the dark, "Then I'll drag you, and you walk slowly." ”
Ruan Yu nodded hurriedly, and suddenly thought that Lu Ye couldn't see it, so he said "um" again.
Lu Ye has led troops to fight all year round, and his night vision ability is much better than that of ordinary people, as long as there is some faint light, he can see everything clearly. He already knew where the candle was, but when he passed by, he went around and pretended to be distressed, "Did you see the candle?" ”
"Nope." Ruan Yu said weakly.
She can't see anything!
Lu Ye: "Then look for it." ”
"Okay."
Ruan Yu couldn't "find" at all, the wrist of one of her hands was clasped by Lu Ye, and the other hand was touching everywhere, for fear that she would bump into something while walking, so all her attention was focused on not getting involved.
Lu Ye looked at the little girl's arms waving wildly in the air and smiled silently.
After a long time, Lu Ye finally "touched" the candle, "Here." ”
Ruan Yu was overjoyed, "Then you hurry up." ”
Lu Ye picked up the fire fold next to him, blew it, and then hit the candle head, and the flames jumped up.
Ruan Yu's tense nerves finally relaxed.
Lu Ye let go of his hand, and in an instant he noticed the red marks on her wrists, which were shocking on her fair skin. Lu Ye frowned, "I'm sorry, didn't I push too hard just now?" ”
Ruan Yu glanced at his wrist and shook his head: "No." I rubbed this myself. ”
Lu Ye looked at her.
Ruan Yu talked to people about so many topics about Xiao Yuanji for the first time, and didn't mind saying a little more, "This wrist was dragged by Xiao Yuanji, and I felt disgusted, so I washed it many times." ”
Lu Ye's eyes were surprised.
He originally thought that Ruan Yu just didn't like Xiao Yuanji.
But I didn't expect it to be disgust.
How much I hate this person is that I can't even tolerate this level of contact.
"What about me?" Lu Ye asked casually: "I have dragged it, and I have to wash it so many times?" ”
Ruan Yu gave him an embarrassed look.
"It's not. I just hate Xiao Yuanji, other people's words...... It's okay. ”
Your words, it doesn't matter.
But that doesn't seem right.
So she can only replace it with one "someone else".
Lu Ye hooked the corners of his lips and turned around to close the window, "It's windy, be careful not to catch a cold." ”
“…… Oh. ”
"I'm leaving, call your maid." Lu Ye walked to the door and smiled, "You can come to me for anything." ”
"Okay." Ruan Yu smiled back.
I have to say that after chatting with Lu Ye, she was in a much lighter mood.
Lu Ye pushed open the door, one foot had already stepped out, and his body was half facing her: "Good night." ”
Ruan Yu nodded and smiled, "Good night." ”
Lu Ye took one last look at her and closed the door.
*
Mingzhu's face was red and swollen, and although it was not obvious that it was five fingerprints, it was very eye-catching.
Yingzhu has already helped with ice, and it has gone down a lot. It's a pity that there is no pharmacy here, and you can't buy ointment to soothe scars and dissolve stasis. Mingzhu was extremely depressed at her face.
Ruan Yu personally checked Mingzhu's injury, and was distressed, only hating that he still gave Xiao Yuanji a slap that was too light.
Men are naturally stronger than women, and there is no way to do it.
Ruan Yu personally took ice to Mingzhu and told her: "If you meet a pharmacy on the road tomorrow, I will go in and buy medicine for you, don't worry, there will be no mark." ”
Mingzhu nodded aggrievedly.
Yingzhu asked from the side: "Will the princess return to the Hou Mansion tomorrow?" ”
"No return."
"So where is the princess going?"
"Let's find an inn to stay in." Ruan Yu thought for a while, "In the capital, find a better inn." Do we have enough money? ”
Yingzhu: "Almost all the money I brought was donated to do Buddhist work, and there wasn't much left." Together, I'm afraid it can only last two days. ”
Ruan Yu: "......"
It's really tight.
