Chapter 390: Hesitation
Qi Qingchu thought that he would be harassed by Luo Shu, and it was not so easy for him to meet Li Jicai.
However, to his surprise, Luo Shu came to him after he was busy with the business at hand.
and said that Li Jicai was indeed in his mansion, and he had also asked Li Jicai if she would like to see him.
After getting Li Jicai's affirmative answer, he agreed to arrange for Qi Qingchu to meet her.
Such a smooth process not only did not make Qi Qingchu's mood much easier, but he felt more vigilant.
It shouldn't be that simple, right?
With this apprehensive mood, Qi Qingchu came to the house where Li Jicai was under the introduction of Luo Shu.
A three-room house with a closed door. The promenade outside extends to the courtyard and even outside the middle gate, and is filled with all kinds of flower pots and blooming with warm flowers.
The white and yellow chrysanthemums with buds waiting to be released, the silk petals are slightly hooked, which is very tempting, the flower bones are matched with green branches, which are particularly attractive, and the rest, Qi Qingchu didn't have time to appreciate it, and the door was suddenly pushed open with a "bang".
Someone inside strode out, followed by four girls in pink dresses talking and laughing.
The maid at the head was holding Li Jicai's arm and whispering something.
When Qi Qingchu saw Li Jicai, his eyes were filled with joy and excitement, and when he was about to step forward, Luo Shu, who was half a step in front of Qi Qingchu, suddenly greeted him.
"Be careful!" A slightly reproachful voice sounded, but I couldn't feel that the other party was not angry, but spoiled.
This is, what's going on?
Qi Qingchu stared a little dumbfounded, until his gaze fell on Li Jicai's stomach.
What is that sudden bulge?
was shocked in his heart, and looked at Li Jicai in disbelief.
Li Jicai's expression is very calm, she is a lot rounder, and the two lumps on her cheeks make people can't help but have the urge to pinch it.
Fat.
It shows that it is well raised.
Recently, I've been making up a lot, what expensive supplements are like no money, so I send them to her room, I can't eat it, how can I not be fat?
Li Jicai, who was first seen by Qi Qing, also felt that he had been a lot richer recently, and couldn't help but blush, very embarrassed, and the shy Li Jicai looked inexplicably gentle and lovely.
And Luo Shu had already walked to Li Jicai's side, the maid who was standing next to Li Jicai consciously retreated to the side, Luo Shu habitually turned to the side, and then gently held the back of Li Jicai's head and kissed her on the forehead.
The intimate behavior caused an uproar among the people present, and the eyes of the maids were even more surprised and envious.
However, all this is not so beautiful in Qi Qingchu's eyes.
"Go down first." This was said by Luo Shu to those maids, after all, there are outsiders present, and some things are inconvenient to say.
The four maids in the back and the minions at the door consciously retreated after hearing Luo Shu's words.
The courtyard was quiet, and the atmosphere froze, Li Jicai's inexplicable breathing was tense, and the muscles in his body were tense.
Luo Shu noticed Li Jicai's nervousness, and couldn't help but gently pat Li Jicai's waist with his hand to relieve her emotions.
But the words that come out have some connotations.
"But your waist is sore again? I'll give you a rub. The shallow smile on Luo Shu's face, in Qi Qingchu's opinion, was really the sky falling.
He was dumbfounded, he never thought that the two of them would be, when would the two of them?
Li Jicai desperately tried not to let himself laugh, Qi Qingchu's expression was really funny.
Poof, hahaha, what to do, I want to laugh.
Luo Shu was afraid that Li Jicai would show his filling, and when he was rubbing Li Jicai's waist, he pinched her with little force, and Li Jicai's body shook and almost didn't stand firm.
"Lord Qi, what are you doing here?" In order to hide his smile, Li Jicai took the lead in asking.
"......" Qi Qing looked at her fixedly, her lips pursed very tightly, and she didn't know what to say.
Such a scene was something he never expected, and he never expected to be able to see such a scene.
Qi Qingchu looked at her with a complicated expression, at a loss.
Luo Shu looked at them with interest and waited for things to develop.
Li Jicai endured it for a long time, and didn't wait for Qi Qingchu to speak, and finally couldn't hold back.
"Hahahaha, no, I, I can't." Li Jicai felt that she couldn't pretend anymore, lying and acting like this was not her specialty, and she was facing Qi Qingchu, so she couldn't lie anymore.
Luo Shu hurriedly helped to hold it: "Be careful, don't move the tire." Luo Shu's face made a very concerned and nervous expression, which seemed to be the same as the real thing.
But only in their hearts did they know that these were all acted, and they were played for Qi Qing to watch for the first time.
Seeing that Qi Qingchu's eyes were about to pop out, Li Jicai's face turned purple with a smile.
"It's okay, it's okay." Li Jicai waved his hand, indicating that there was no problem and peace of mind.
"When will you ......"
"I just found out not long ago."
"Oh! So, congratulations, I don't know who the child's father is? ”
"Do you need to ask?" Li Jicai shrugged her shoulders and continued to cooperate with Luo Shu, she almost got off just now.
"Master Qi, you haven't said why you're here, I heard Luo Shu say that you want to see me."
"It's okay, just to inform you that Your Majesty is sending people around looking for you and has already promoted you."
"What about promoting me? Not yet a small peasant officer, oops, not interested. Li Jicai waved his hand nonchalantly.
"Well, then, in that case, this is my leave." Looking at the scene in front of him, Qi Qingchu suddenly felt that there was no need for him to stay here anymore.
What's the use of staying here any longer? Looking at the chorus of other people's pianos, are you nong and I nong?
Luo Shu and Li Jicai glanced at each other, Qi Qingchu worked hard and rushed over thousands of miles, just to say such a word to her?
"Lord Qi, thank you for your kindness." Li Jicai looked at Qi Qingchu's back and said again.
"I didn't do anything, just be fine." Qi Qingchu paused and said slowly, word by word, seriously, slowly and firmly.
Then he continued to walk out with his feet raised without looking back.
These words made Li Jicai's heart suffocated, and he suddenly didn't know what to say.
Did he just leave? Did you just leave neatly? Obviously, I worked hard to find here.
Li Jicai wanted to open his mouth to stop him, but hesitated.
After all, no one can say anything about their current relationship, so it's better not to say it.
However, if you don't say it, will you just watch him go?
The courtyard is not big, it can be reached in a few steps, Qi Qing is about to leave at the beginning, and may never come back.
Li Jicai's heart rarely struggled.
"Qi Qingchu, you just gave up like this?" This was not said by Li Jicai, but by Luo Shu, and even Li Jicai himself did not understand what he meant, why he said this.
Qi Qingchu was stunned.
Abandon? How else is he going to fight for it? The two of them are so harmoniously matched, what reason does he have
Stay here.
Hasn't he seen the current situation clearly?
Isn't the two of them showing him that they have ...... between them?
Qi Qingchu felt very sad, but there was no way to force it, and he couldn't even face Li Jicai, and he couldn't say a word.
What else is there to say? It's all in this situation, what else can I say?
It's too late.
"It's all a lie." Li Jicai muttered.
"It's all a lie!" Li Jicai yelled, and then unconsciously left some tears.
Luo Shu also let go of the hand holding Li Jicai, not knowing what to say, according to their plan, Qi Qingchu would definitely make a move, and even force out his heart.
But what he didn't expect was that Qi Qingchu directly chose to escape and not face it.
So it's normal for Li Jicai to be disappointed, after all, it's a matter between the two of them.
Luo Shu felt regret for the first time, maybe he shouldn't have helped her with advice, and standing up was self-defeating.
He sighed almost inaudibly and shook his head.
Li Jicai said that it was impossible not to be disappointed, and she really wanted to see Qi Qingchu express his attitude very clearly and directly.
But Qi Qingchu would rather hold it in his heart than say what was in his heart.
Forget it, forget it.
"I'm tired, I'm going back to sleep, I'm not going out today. Okay, pull people out early in the morning and get sleepy. ”
Li Jicai pretended to complain and said, as if he could hide his mood in this way.
"I heard that he is no longer an official in the Chu State, and he has also left his original position, abandoned his status as a minister, and came here to find you desperately, so I originally thought it was ......"
Even if Li Jicai didn't show anything on his face, tried his best to hide his emotions, and looked very relaxed, Luo Shu still felt a little guilty in his heart.
"What?" Li Jicai looked at Luo Shu in shock, a little unable to believe what his ears heard.
"He's left everything behind to come to you." Vena concluded.
In fact, he didn't deliberately want to help him, but seeing that he was so bold, his impression of him was more or less better.
"Leave it all behind?" When Li Jicai heard this, he didn't know what to say.
Would Qi Qingchu really do this for her? Or is it another trap waiting for her to jump into?
"You don't always want to speculate on others with suspicion, as far as the past is concerned, whether he is false or sincere, you should already have a judgment in your heart, I don't think I need to say more, right?"
Luo Shu said that he was a little impatient, and he felt a little irritable inexplicably.
Luo Shu himself doesn't know much about this man and woman, as far as the bystanders look at it, the two people are clearly happy with each other, but don't care too much about external things, so that they are blinded.
Neither can see their true thoughts clearly, nor can they really face it, so the two of them will drag on until now.
Maybe it's a little bit of fate, or maybe it's really a personality incompatibility.
