Chapter 298: Hot Potato

It's night, and the moonlight is like a hook.

The door of the east courtyard was just about to fall, and Chunxue saw the time wandering outside the door. She was stunned and called, "Shi Gongzi, why are you here?" ”

It's already dark, making the night more and more cold. But Shi Xi was just wearing thin clothes and standing alone outside the door. After a while, he said, "Jin'er is asleep?" ”

Chunxue turned her head to look at the room that was still lit up, and thought for a while, "Not yet." As she spoke, she paused, and then said, "Shi Gongzi came here for noon, right?" ”

"Hmm." He answered softly, and his eyes fell fixedly on the house in the courtyard. Today, he only returned to Su Mansion when he was killed, and when he arrived, he heard Xiao Yu talk about it.

The emperor's whim made Master Su and Su Jin have to go to Jingzhou. It's just Chinese New Year's Eve, and I think I'll be back soon. But for some reason, Shi Xi's heart was inexplicably a little flustered and scared.

He always felt that it would be impossible for Su Jin to come back once he went.

Chunxue looked at him and asked, "Shi Gongzi has something to say to Miss?" ”

Hearing this, Shi Xi touched his sleeve and said, "She is leaving tomorrow and wants to say goodbye to her." ”

"In that case, then Childe will come in." Chunxue gritted her teeth, and finally made a decision for her own young lady. She is a stupid girl, and now she likes both Prince Jing and Shi Gongzi. And it is impossible for Prince Jing now, so she thinks that Shi Gongzi is the best candidate for Miss.

Therefore, after today, even if she will be scolded by her own miss, she still can't help but want to make a decision for her miss. Perhaps, the young lady may have accepted it like this.

After entering the house at night, Chunxue gently closed the door.

Inside the house, Su Jin was wearing thin clothes and a cloak outside, reading a book by candlelight. However, she didn't seem to look into it, and her eyes were a little glazed. On one side, Mingyu just put away the sharpened sword, then got up and came to the small stove and picked up the little pill that was sleeping there.

"Maruko, it's time for us to go back to the house and sleep, we can't disturb Miss." Since learning the news that Mingge is safe for the time being, Mingyu's mood has obviously improved a lot. When she walked out lightly with Xiao Maruko in her arms, she was just about to close the door when she ran into Shi Xi head-on. Mingyu was stunned and exclaimed, "Shi Gongzi, why are you here?" ”

As Mingyu's words fell, Su Jin, who was in a daze, suddenly shook his hand, and the book in his hand fell. Then, she turned her eyes and saw the time and night.

"Why are you here?" Su Jin was also a little surprised. When she saw the spring snow behind Shi Xi, she frowned, a little helpless.

That girl is in charge of her again.

Suddenly, Shi Xi came and came to Su Jin. Mingyu pursed her lips lightly, and then left with Chunxue.

The night is quiet, and Su Jin under the light is more charming than she is at any time. Shi Xi has known her for so long, and it is the first time he has seen Su Jin's appearance, his face is red, and he doesn't know what to say for a while. In the end, it was Su Jin who took the lead in breaking the silence and asked, "But because I want it tomorrow, that's why I came?" ”

"Yes." Shi Xi answered honestly.

Su Jin couldn't help laughing and said, "The emperor dictated, don't dare to disobey." Trust me to be back soon, though. She said lightly, but she didn't know whether this was the case or not. She naively trusted the emperor once because of guilt, and now, she has to doubt the emperor's purpose.

"When I see the emperor this time, I must be patient."

Su Jin was stunned and raised her eyes to look at Shi Xi.

Shi Xi pursed her lips and said, "I'm just worried." ”

After hearing this, Su Jin couldn't help but smile. She knew what he was thinking, although the Su family was at fault, but when the emperor issued a holy decree, she inevitably did not hate. And in fact, I did hate. But so what? The Queen Mother died because of her aunt, and she couldn't sleep at night with guilt.

"I'm measured."

"I know, but you, too, be careful. The emperor suddenly summoned him, which was really weird. ”

"Okay." She answered softly, then pulled on her cloak and sat down gently. Today's night is really cold.

"And ......" Shi Xi grabbed the sleeve of his right hand, a little hesitant.

Seeing this, Su Jin said, "Is there anything else?" ”

Hearing her ask, Shi Xi lowered his eyelids, and his heartbeat accelerated inexplicably. He thought he was ready, but it wasn't until he came to her that he realized that he was still as timid and flustered as ever. It seems that as long as he is in front of her, he is no longer himself.

Seeing that Su Jin's brows were already frowning, Shi Xichang let out a long breath and hurriedly took out something from between his cuffs. Su Jin looked over suspiciously, and couldn't help but be stunned. Under the candlelight, it glows faintly, burns beautifully, and looks a little dazzling. Su Jin looked at the thing in his hand and had a moment of abruptness.

Shi Xi asked, "Do you remember it?" ”

In his hand, he is holding a pearl of the night. Su Jin vaguely remembered what he said when he and he were about to go to Suzhou. When he was nine years old, the Liu family's shop, he actually got the night pearl back?

Su Jin skimmed his face, and said slowly after half a salary, "I don't remember." ”

Hearing this, Shi Xi was stunned, and then he was a little flustered. "This night pearl is the one you saw when you smashed the Liu family's shop when you were nine years old, and a few days ago, I got it back."

Su Jin tugged at her lips and smiled a little unnaturally. "That's right, I'm wondering where you got another Night Pearl."

Shi Xi gritted his teeth, feeling a sense of loss in his heart. Now, instead of getting closer to herself, on the contrary, she is becoming more and more distant from herself.

The two-year contract, like a bubble, burst before it even started. Shi Xi didn't dare to question, and he didn't want to question. It's just because, in this relationship, he has always been the one who is willing. After a while, he smiled bitterly, pulled Su Jin's hand over, and gently placed the Night Pearl in Su Jin's hand.

"I originally planned to give you this night pearl on Chinese New Year's Eve, but now that you are about to go to Jingzhou City, I will definitely not be able to give it away on Chinese New Year's Eve, so I thought about it carefully and decided to give it to you tonight."

"The ...... of the Night"

"You can refuse anything, but this one, don't refuse ......" As if obsession, six years ago, he passed by the Liu family's shop, and she was there, but they didn't even nod their heads. Because of regret, because of pity, Shi Xi desperately wanted to send this night pearl to Su Jin's hands. It seems that only in this way can their fate continue.

Su Jin held the night pearl and felt like a hot potato.
