It's dusk.

The clouds in the sky converge, and the peach forest is like a sea of pale pink flowers, reflecting the sparkling sunset.

In the depths of the peach forest, the small mansion is full of flowers.

Bai Lu was cooking in the kitchen, and the smell of rice overflowed from the stuffy rice pot, inexplicably feeling the warmth of a farmer's house.

Su Jiu sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, holding a fan, picking up a chess piece with his thin white fingertips, and landing it on the chessboard slowly and methodically.

"Miss, is it interesting for you to play against yourself?" Frost put his hands on his cheeks and squatted on the ground curiously, "Besides, what's so fun about this game of Go, you have been playing for most of the hour, and the slave maid's eyes are dazzled!" ”

Su Jiu picked up the tea and took a sip, "He's back?" ”

"Master? I've been back a long time ago, and I snuck in through the back door a quarter of an hour ago, and now I'm hiding in the embroidery building and won't come out. You said that he is a big man with gray hair, what is the matter, didn't you care about the white head in the first place? He squirmed like a little girl who hadn't come out of the pavilion, and the slave felt funny when she saw it! ”

It's good to be back......

Su Jiu was relieved and subconsciously looked at the embroidery building.

The man was probably hiding in the boudoir in a small two-story wooden building, with a fan in the center.

was obviously tortured by this man, but for some reason, seeing him like this, she was a little happy and a little distressed.

The evening breeze is blowing, and the falling flowers are colorful.

Su Jiu coughed a few times, and Shuang Xia hurriedly got up and touched her forehead, "Ah, why is Miss's body temperature getting higher and higher?" ”

Since it rained outside Chonghua Palace seven or eight days ago, Su Jiu's body temperature has always been higher than that of ordinary people.

Although he didn't have much energy and appetite these days, he didn't have any major physical problems, so Su Jiu didn't care.

I just dragged it on, but I didn't expect it to seem to drag the illness seriously......

Frost fell in a hurry, "Why don't you go to the peach forest to ask for a doctor?" What's wrong with this? ”

"No problem." Su Jiu didn't care, "It's just an ordinary wind and cold, who hasn't had a high fever?" If you can't bear it, it's over? ”

Dinner has been cooked.

Su Jiu ate a little, took a food box and packed a lot, and personally climbed the embroidery tower to deliver food to Xiao Tingchen.

The sky was completely dark, and Gu Yu and Jing were busy lighting the wind lanterns under the eaves, and the Yingying fire illuminated the courtyard of this deep house.

Su Jiu stood under the eaves and knocked lightly, "Xiao Tingchen, I'm bringing you food, you open the door." ”

There was no light in the dormitory.

The man sat on the Taishi chair with a big sword, his silhouette was handsome and straight, and his side face was bewitching and handsome.

It's just that the long hair that hangs down on the waist has already turned completely white.

The bronze mirror was shattered all over the ground, and even the basin of water was thrown in the corner, leaving it with water stains everywhere.

He hung his head, his face hidden in the darkness.

Listening to the knock on the door, his hands on his lap clenched unnaturally into fists.

"Xiao Tingchen? Are you here, Xiao Tingchen? ”

The girl's voice was soft and clean, and it always sounded sweet to him.

"Xiao Tingchen, hurry up and open the door, you don't eat dinner? The food is going to be cold! ”

She called again and again, as if she wouldn't leave as long as he didn't go out.

"Women are just ......annoying sometimes," Xiao Tingchen tugged at his neckline impatiently, raised his voice and said, "He's not here, stop shouting!" ”

After a few moments of pause outside the house, the woman actually laughed, "So bothering you to tell him, I left the food box at the door, and invited him to come back and bring it into the house to eat." ”

The sound of light embroidered shoes sounded, and the woman walked away.

Xiao Tingchen rubbed his cheeks, twisted his brows and walked behind the door.

Quietly opening a crack in the door, he glanced twice into the corridor, and saw that no one had bent down to pick up the food box behind the threshold.

Just as he was about to close the door, a small white hand suddenly held on to the door frame.

Su Jiu raised his head, and the man's long snow-white hair came into view.

He has a childish face, and his dark peach blossom eyes are full of panic, like a teenager who has made a big mistake.

He turned around with his back to the food box, his voice filled with anger and anxiety, "I told you to just leave your things away, why don't you listen to me?!" Do you have to witness my embarrassment with your own eyes before you give up?! ”

As he said this, he lowered his eyes rather embarrassed.

As long as Su Jiu is not there, then he can not care about his appearance.

But this woman is here, right next to him......

He only wants her to see his strength and his handsomeness, how can he be willing to let her see his embarrassment?

He was scared......

I was afraid to see disgust in her eyes......

Even if people hate dogs, they don't want to make her tired of themselves.

Su wine stepped into the threshold.

She hooked a strand of white hair with her fingertips and said softly, "I've had a white head too, but what does it matter?" I'm still me, I'm Su wine, and I won't change anything because of gray hair. Did you dislike me for the sake of gray hair? If you will not dislike me, how can I dislike you today? ”

The lantern light shone in faintly from outside.

The two of them were in the dark, and the wind through the corridor made the surrounding silence even more visible, so quiet that they could hear each other's heartbeats.

Xiao Tingchen still turned his back to her, "That's different......"

Su wine is very special and important to him.

It doesn't matter if she turns into snow, it doesn't matter if she breaks her appearance, it doesn't matter if she lacks arms and legs!

In his eyes, she was always the clean little girl.

He will love her and spoil her as much as he used to, and he will love her and spoil her even more than ever!

But......

But now the person who has become ugly is him Xiao Tingchen.

How can this be the same?

The peach blossom eyes were complex and obscure, and he was at a loss for what to do, when a pair of small hands suddenly gently hugged him from behind.

Su Jiu's little face was pressed against his back, and he closed his eyes a little tiredly, "Xiao Tingchen, I have experienced a lot in the past year...... When she was a princess, she dealt with Su Tang, and when she was an empress, she fought wits with courtiers...... I'm actually quite tired. Xiao Tingchen, I want to go home, can you take me home......?"

The girl's soft voice faded.

Xiao Tingchen turned around slowly, Su Jiu lost his support, and his knees fell to the ground with weakness.

He took advantage of the situation to hold her thin waist.

The bright moon rises, and the moon on the embroidered floor is like water.

The breeze blows the man's long snow-white hair, and the dark color outlines the long and tall figure, and there is a dreamlike beauty in the depths of this peach forest, just like the Penglai cyclamen in the mountains.

Su Jiu stretched out his hand to cover his cheek, and his voice was weak because of high fever, "Good-looking ......"

From childhood to adulthood, he was always good-looking.

Xiao Tingchen was silent.

The girl sighed softly and closed her eyes tiredly.

During Su Jiu's recuperation, Wu Song led his subordinates to search all over the Peach Blossom Valley, and finally failed to find Tao Shi Niang's private collection, but found a strange peach blossom tree.

The peach blossom tree is huge and majestic, enough for three people to hug.

The peach branches are bare and have no flowers and leaves, only countless blood-red poisonous snakes entangled, and they look extremely mysterious and dangerous.

Xiao Tingchen stood under the tree in a black robe, and suddenly remembered the peach blossom he snatched from Tao Shi Niang.
