I glanced at Fu Qiao with my spare eyes and noticed that her originally calm face had changed.

“...... It's ......" Fu Qiao looked at Sister Hua. One word made it a little difficult for her to speak.

I didn't expect Fuqiao, who has always lied and didn't make drafts, to encounter such a scene. It really surprised me.

The corners of Sister Hua's mouth curled slightly bitterly.

Fu Qiao wanted to say something, but Sister Hua waved her hand: "It's okay." ”

Fu Qiao looked at him with complicated eyes, but finally closed his mouth.

Sister Hua lowered her head, plucked a grass from the ground and swirled it around her fingertips, and stopped talking.

There was also an eerie silence between the three of us.

After about half a pillar of incense, Sister Hua finally raised her head again and looked at Fu Qiao, her expression was cynical when she first saw him: "I don't know if I can help the two younger sisters?" ”

Fu Qiao frowned and smiled: "As long as Brother Shen helps us ask Li Wenhao to travel." For the rest, our sorority will take care of it. ”

Sister Hua seemed to be about to say something, but the little guy next to her moved, holding her head and struggling to sit up from the ground.

Sister Hua looked at him, and finally only nodded at Fu Qiao: "Okay." ”

After these incidents, we were all interested, and Sister Hua and Fu Qiao, who were still clamoring to catch fish to roast, were a little embarrassed.

Although the little guy got up from the ground with a confused face, he didn't dare to ask anything. When he heard that Sister Hua asked him to catch the carriage, he went without saying a word.

On the way back, it was quiet in the carriage.

Sister Hua no longer stared at Fu Qiao, but chose to close her eyes. As for whether I fell asleep or not, I don't know.

Fu Qiao glanced at the eldest sister a few times, as if she had something to say, but finally shook her head, sighed, and fell silent.

Seeing them like this, I also feel sad and panicked. began to wonder if it was good or bad that he didn't let Fu Qiao erase Sister Hua's memory.

When we returned to Shaoyin's Mansion, Sister Hua still didn't talk to us much, and only sent us back to Muyingzhai and left.

Fu Qiao sat in the front hall, holding the tea on Xia Mei, drinking slowly, so that I couldn't see the emotion.

I walked up to her, sat down, supported my head with my hands, and carefully studied her expression, but after studying it for a long time, I didn't notice any change in her expression.

Fu Qiao put down the teacup, looked at me, and smiled shallowly: "What's wrong?" ”

I put down my hand and sat up straight: "You and Sister Hua are weird." But I can't tell what's going on. ”

Fu Qiao smiled, stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the cloudy weather outside: "It's going to change." ”

I looked outside, and the sky was covered with thick clouds, and the weight seemed to cover the sky with a gray quilt.

"I'm afraid that the rain master is coming to make rain." I say.

Fu Qiao looked at the sky and didn't speak for a long time, just when I thought she was going to become mute, she opened her mouth again: "Isn't it a little unfair to him that we pulled Shen Zhongqi in?" ”

This is obviously a question sentence, but it is said by Fu Qiao to be like a declarative sentence.

"He took the initiative to find us first." I said, stating the facts to her, "It's not that we're pulling him in." ”

Fu Qiao turned to look at me: "But he is only a mortal after all. Is it really good to let him bear so much? ”

Looking at her forward-looking look, I frowned and asked her, "What's wrong with you?" I didn't see you scared when you burned down the Kitchen God Mansion before. ”

Fu Qiao paused and glared at me: "You burned it!" ”

I was amused and didn't speak.

What if I burn it?

She's been through no less trouble than I have.

"That's different." Fu Qiao lowered his eyes.

"How is it different?"

"Shen Zhongqi is a mortal ......"

I sighed, not understanding why Fuqiao was so indecisive today.

"The master specially instructed me before I went to the lower realm, I couldn't tie Lin Chuyun and Li Wenhao together, I had to follow fate. But in this case, the two of us are too weak after all. I said, "We need Sister Hua to help us." ”

Fu Qiao was silent for a while and nodded: "Yes, let's just owe him." ”

I walked up to her and patted her on the shoulder: "Don't worry so much. When we leave, make him a wish to keep him safe and smooth in the future, won't we? ”

Fu Qiao looked at me and smiled.

But somehow, I always felt bitter when I looked at her smile.

At dinner, there are still dishes with only meat foam on the table.

Old Madam Shen asked Sister Hua to pick up vegetables for me as usual. Sister Hua didn't give Fu Qiao vegetables as usual.

But when I was eating, I could still see Sister Hua secretly glancing at Fu Qiao's reaction.

I shook my head secretly, thinking that I really had to match Lin Chuyun and Li Wenhao quickly. In this way, Fu Qiao and I can leave. I don't have to guess the thoughts between Sister Hua and Fu Qiao every day.

After dinner, everyone was still sitting at the table. Fu Qiao smiled and bowed to Old Madam Shen, looked at the eldest sister, and left without speaking.

"Auntie, I'll go back first." I hurriedly stood up and saluted Old Madam Shen.

Old Madam Shen looked at me with some reluctance, but she just nodded: "Go ahead." ”

I left them and chased them out of the house, only to find that Fu Qiao had not gone far at all, but looked up at the bright stars in the sky.

I leaned over, looked up, and asked her, "What are you looking at?" ”

"It's beautiful." Fu Qiao whispered.

"It's beautiful." I nodded.

After all these days, this is the first time I have carefully looked at the stars in the sky. I remember the last time I looked at the stars, it was when I was making trees in front of Kunlun Mountain.

The stars gathered together and glowed a faint silver color, twinkling and twinkling, like gems scattered in ink, but with more layers of life than gemstones.

"Are the stars of the heavenly realm like this?" I asked her.

In the past, when I was in the Heavenly Realm, I always stayed in the Moon Old Mansion and never went to see the galaxy. I don't know if looking down from the sky is like this.

"It's not." Fu Qiao shook his head.

I looked at her, "What's that?" ”

"When you look at it from the sky, it's just patches of sand and stones, gray and boring."

I frowned and looked at the sky.

It turns out that not everything in the heavenly realm is better than the lower realm. At least that's what the star is.

Fu Qiao retracted his gaze and raised his feet in the direction of Mu Yingzhai.

I followed.

Looking at her side face, I always felt that she had an inexplicable sentimentality after returning from the suburbs.

In Mu Yingzhai, I followed Fu Qiao into the front hall.

Xia Mei was putting something on the table with her back to us, when she heard the movement, she turned around, saw that it was us, and smiled: "Yueqiao, Yuesi, you are back." ”

"Hmm. What are you doing? I asked her.

Xia Mei smiled and moved away, only to see that a grilled fish and an osmanthus duck were already on the table.

"This is what the adults asked the small kitchen to do." Xia Mei picked up the food box, "The adult said that he couldn't catch fish for his two sisters to roast this afternoon, which can be regarded as reparation." ”

I raised my eyebrows and looked at Fu Qiao, only to see that she was staring at the food on the table in a daze.

"Thank you." I smiled at Xia Mei.

Xia Mei shook her head: "I'll go down first." When you have eaten, call me to collect it. ”

I nodded. Xia Mei smiled and walked out with the food box.

"This eldest sister Hua must be afraid that you won't be able to eat enough at night." I walked to the table and sat down, looking at Fu Qiao, who was standing there motionless, "Come and eat, don't waste a piece of Sister Hua's kindness." I picked up the chopsticks next to me and handed them to her, "Here you go." ”

Fu Qiao walked over slowly, took the chopsticks, sat down, and looked at the dishes on the table without moving the chopsticks: "We are all so treated, why is he still ......?"

"What happened to him?" I looked at Fu Qiao in confusion.

"We lied to him."

"That's not a lie!" I corrected, "Do you want to confess to everyone who you are and what you're here for?" We're protecting him! ”

"If we want to protect him, we shouldn't keep his memory!" Fu Qiao was a little excited for some reason.

"Are you alright?" I asked her.

Fu Qiao paused, shook his head, and calmed down a lot.

"I told you to keep his memory." I said, "But he looked very pitiful at the time." I thought, it's not necessarily a bad thing to let him remember who you are. ”

Fu Qiao looked at me and didn't speak.

I sighed and took her hand: "What's more, let him know who you are...... It can also make him cut off his thoughts about you. ”

Fu Qiao's hand froze for a moment as I held it.

"Immortals can't fall in love." I looked at her and said in a deep voice, "We can't let him be damned. ”

Fu Qiao pulled his hand out of my hand: "I see." ”

After that, she quietly ate the dishes on the table and stopped talking to me.

I don't know if Fuqiao is really hungry. She actually ate a whole fish and a whole osmanthus duck. Seeing her like that, I was a little scared, and I didn't dare to ask her to stop eating.

"Xia Mei." Seeing that Fu Qiao finally stopped his chopsticks, I called outside.

After a while, Xia Mei walked in.

"Take it all." I gestured to the empty dishes on the table.

Xia Mei looked at the plates on the table and was shocked, but she didn't say anything, just quietly put the plates back into the food box. Just as she was about to withdraw, Fu Qiao suddenly spoke up and stopped her.

"Wait."

Xia Mei looked back at Fu Qiao.

"Remember to thank you for me." Fu Qiao said.

Xia Mei smiled and nodded, and went out.

"Do you want to go out for a walk?" I asked tentatively.

Fu Qiao's hand touched his stomach, hesitated for a moment, nodded, and got up.

I got up and was about to accompany her, but she stopped me.

"I want to be on my own for a while." She said.

Looking at her appearance, although I was a little worried, it was not easy to follow hard, so I had to nod and instruct: "Don't go out of the house, come back early." ”

Fu Qiao smiled: "Don't worry." What else could happen to me? ”

Watch her go out.

I smiled self-deprecatingly.

Also, Fu Qiao is the Seventh Highness of Qingqiu. What else could she do? It's my mind.
