Chapter 8: Spring Day (8)
He Shiyi's car had just arrived at the Huanyuan Mansion, and from a long distance, he saw a white figure wandering outside the adults. He Shiyi's speed of getting out of the car was extremely fast, and what he saw was really shallow.
"It's windy outside, why did you run out, Konishi?" As he spoke, he pulled up his shallow left hand and pulled it into the palm of his hand to exhale hot air.
After standing in the cold wind for a long time, after being reminded by He Wetsuit, Qing Qian did feel that his body was stiff and cold, and his hands were also wooden. However, it can't compare to the coldness in my heart.
"What's wrong, why don't you speak?" He had a warm smile on his face.
"I ...... I have something to ask you. Qing pursed his lips, slightly bitter.
"It's windy here, let's go in and talk!" Out of the corner of his eye, He Shiyi caught a glimpse of a stack of newspapers on Qingqian's right hand, and he already had a plan in his heart.
When the two entered the hall, they instantly felt warm, and He Shiyi instructed the servant to make hot tea.
"Seen the newspaper?" He Shiyi didn't wait for the shallow to ask first, and was the first to speak.
"Hmm." Qingqian's heart twisted.
"Do you believe me?"
"Faith." Qingqian nodded solemnly and looked at He Shiyi.
"Then you don't have to ask anything." He wet clothes are rarely serious.
"You don't, it's not you." A flash of light instantly lit up in Qingqian's eyes, and the person stood up from the sofa.
He Shiyi smiled shallowly, neither denying nor admitting it, but in Qingqian's eyes, it was already tacit.
"So happy."
"Of course, you and Senior Luo. I don't want anything to happen to you. The heart that had been hanging for a day finally came to an end, and the speed of speech became unconsciously faster, and his face became happy.
"I'll go see what's going on in the kitchen tonight, you can rest first." After finishing speaking, he walked briskly towards the kitchen.
He Shiyi stood quietly in place, watching Qingqian's figure go to the kitchen.
Outside the window, the sun has not yet sunk in the west, and a trace of the residual sun is still lingering in the mountain col. The residence was silent, and one or two bird chirpings could be faintly heard.
He came back so early today, but she didn't notice.
The tea on the table was still steaming, and the inside of the lid was flipped upside down. There are dots of water on it, and it is indeed very hot tea. It's just that Qing Qian has already gone to the kitchen. He Shiyi picked up the tea cup on the table and drank it in one gulp.
Putting down the teacup and about to leave, I saw Xiaoxi coming in from outside in a hurry.
"Where did you go? Why don't you stay in the mansion and take care of your young lady? He Shiyi's voice was filled with obvious anger.
"Miss sent me to the newspaper." The He wet clothes that Xiaoxi saw have always been warm and hee, where have I seen stern. I was bluffed for a while, and I didn't want to blurt it out.
"What are you doing at the newspaper?" He Shiyi's heart was already clear, and he was angry in vain, but his face did not show it.
"Miss...... Miss, Miss wants me to inquire about the whereabouts of the master. Xiaoxi thought about it again and again, and did not tell Qingqian that she should go to the newspaper office to inquire about Luo Chuanhua.
She vaguely felt that if she said that she was going for Luo Gongzi, Major He would be very unhappy. The young lady's reaction after reading the newspaper in the morning also made her faintly worried.
"Well, got it. Go ahead! Your lady is in the kitchen. He shook his head and turned around and went to the upstairs room.
"Yes." Konishi responded and hurriedly retreated.
When Konishi walked to the kitchen, he felt a burst of joy in his heart. But when I thought about it, I couldn't help but tremble. On weekdays, when it comes to the master, Major He will definitely say some words of relief, but today he is silent. Thinking about it here, my heart was busy again, and the pace of going to the kitchen stepped up a little.
In the kitchen, Kiyoasa is preparing the evening meal with the maid. Seeing Konishi come in, he smiled slightly and beckoned to Konishi.
"Miss." During the Konishi period, Ai Ai approached Qingqian's side.
"How's the inquiry? Senior Luo is okay! Qing Qian was helping the maid choose the dishes, and the voice came out with the sound of the water pipe, with a little lightness.
"Miss, Major He knows." Konishi looked at Qingqian worriedly.
"Know what?" Qing Qian didn't seem to have woken up yet.
"When I came back, I happened to run into Major He, and he ...... He knew that you had sent me to the newspaper office to inquire about Mr. Luo. He looked as if he was upset. Konishi paid attention to the shallow reaction.
There was still a hint of a smile on Qingqian's face, but when he heard the back, his hand washing vegetables stopped unconsciously. With a blank look, he muttered, "I'm angry." ”
It seems to be asking Konishi, and it seems to be talking to himself.
"Miss, did you have an awkward relationship with Major He?" Konishi asked cautiously.
"I'll go out for a while." Qingqian didn't have time to wipe the wet stains on his hands, so he took off his apron and handed it to Xiaoxi in a panic, turned around and walked out of the kitchen.
His consistent temperament rarely shows joy and anger in front of others, and even more so in front of himself. Is it because he has noticed his intentions for Senior Luo and is angry, so he is angry with Xiaoxi?
Qing shallow walked down the corridor towards the living room, and on the outer side of the corridor was a large transparent window. The curtains were lifted, and the faint red sunset shone through the clear glass of the window on the floor of the corridor. Qing Qian felt as if he had been ignoring something.
Looking at the ray of sunshine on the ground, he suddenly realized that he came back much earlier today than usual.
There was no one in the living room, so she went upstairs to the study.
The carpet on the stairs has been replaced with a new cluster during the New Year, and it is soft and thick to step on. Qingqian was wearing floral slippers, and there was no sound when he stepped on it.
How will you explain it to him later? His shallow feet had reached the end of the stairs on the second floor. didn't come up with a way to deal with He Wetsuit, so he couldn't help but stand there fixedly.
She knew what a quick-witted man he was, and he couldn't tolerate half a lie.
"Major, what's next?" Wu Wu's voice came from the corridor upstairs, very low, but Qing Qian's position was clearly audible.
Thinking of the time when he stood outside the door and eavesdropped on his conversation with Qi Huo a few days ago in Yan's house. Qingqian's face was slightly hot, and he decided to stand up.
"This assassination has not been successful, Luo Gongzi, I'm afraid there is already a gap on the commander's side." Qingqian's foot had already been lifted up the steps, and Wu Wu's words came again.
After hearing only this sentence, Qingqian's raised feet seemed to lose strength, and he stepped on the empty steps in vain.
"Who?" With a loud shout, Wu Wu had already appeared at the staircase, followed by He Wet Clothes who came over.
Looking at each other, the expression on He Shiyi's face at that moment was unclear.
Sad, anxious, or relieved.
"Miss Yan!" Wu Wu looked at Qing Qian standing on the stairs in astonishment, obviously not expecting her to be there.
"You go down first!" Although He Shiyi was talking to Wu Wu, he didn't look at him, but only stared at Qing Qian wholeheartedly. It's like staring at a treasure, for fear that Qingshan will disappear out of thin air.
"Yes." Wu Wu looked at the faces of the two of them, knew that he had made a mistake, and hurriedly retreated.
"The truth is really as the newspaper says, you want to 'strike first.'" Qingqian's entire body was all leaning against the edge of the staircase handrail, and his face was bloodless.
"Yes." He regained his composure on his face, slowly walked down the stairs, and approached Qingqian's side.
"Senior Luo is your younger brother and your friend. How can you treat him like this. Qing Qian didn't know where to give birth to the courage, and met He Shiyi's gaze fixedly.
"If I want to get that seat, I have to do it." He Shiyi took Qingqian's hand and wanted to take her into his arms, but was avoided by Qingqian.
"That position is so important to you, so important that you have to cut your hands on blood relatives." The shallow body trembled for no reason, and I didn't know if it was angry or afraid.
The person in front of her seemed to have given birth to a face out of thin air, a face that was completely unfamiliar to her.
"He's not my blood relative." He Shiyi's voice also increased a few points in vain.
"You ......" is very shallow, holding on to the handrail on the stairs, looking crumbling.
He Shiyi's eyes were clear and his hands were quick, and he took Qingqian into his arms as soon as he stretched out his hand.
"Don't touch me." Qing Qian didn't know where to give birth to disgust, raised his hand and waved, and the palm of his hand was dangerously inserted into He Wet's ear.
"You hate me so much." He Shiyi smiled slightly and looked at Qing Qian, who was leaning against the wall.
Just now, while protecting Qing Qian, he dodged Qing Qian's swing. After all, the two of them were still standing on the stairs, and when He Shiyi stood still on the wall, they were already slightly embarrassed.
"I ...... Don't do this kind of thing in the future, it's useless to be with others and yourself, okay? Qing Qian looked back and saw He Shiyi's smile, and the anger that had just arisen suddenly gradually calmed down, and his heart gradually became unbearable. But I still feel that He Wet's approach is a little despicable, and I have the heart to persuade him.
"yes, I know." He Shiyi took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, and without asking whether it was shallow, he struck a match.
With a "bang", a match was lit, and a small flame bloomed from the palm of He Shiyi's hand.
Qing Qian glanced at it, stood up straight, and went to his room.
"Why are you so excited when you mention Luo Chuanhua." He Shiyi's voice was faint, and he couldn't hear any special emotions.
Qingqian's body froze, and he didn't look back, and continued to walk towards his room.
After a long time, Wu Wu was waiting downstairs in a hurry, and couldn't help but want to go upstairs to find out. As soon as I walked to the corner of the stairs on the second floor, I saw a little red light in the dark. In the end, he was born in the military, he looked at it intently, but it turned out to be He Shiyi standing there, a cigarette in his hand, flashing a small red light.
A large section of the cigarette ash still fell on it, and Major He stood here just not moving.
