Chapter 18: A Different Kind of Admiration
At night, after Xiaoxi took the decoction that Yiyi boiled for her, it was really difficult to sleep, although she knew that Wei's life was not in danger for the time being, but she would not be seen, and she was always worried in her heart.
She sat in the hallway in the dark of night, and her worries for the past few days made her look a little haggard. As soon as she closed her eyes, Wei was covered with injuries, and Xiaoxi knew that these were all her own imaginations, but she didn't dare to rest.
At this time, a wide cloak was draped on her, and her body suddenly warmed up a lot, and she looked up in surprise to see Jiuye with a worried face.
"Jiuye, you weren't like this before, I used to see you with a calm and unwavering look, why do you have a sadness between your eyebrows now."
Ye Xingchen didn't answer, walked up to her and stroked the back of her hand, Xiaoxi's hands were cold.
He quietly held Xiaoxi's hands between his palms, and Xiaoxi quickly pulled out his hands after a moment of surprise.
"You say I've changed, yes, how can it not change, with the people I care about all the time, everything has changed, I can't control my heart, and I can't do it like before."
Ye Xingchen said movingly and said something that Xiaoxi couldn't understand, put his hand on her face and straightened out the green silk of her sideburns, the suppressed feelings in his eyes flashed, and the two looked up at the starry sky together.
"Jiuye, I don't dare to close my eyes, closing my eyes is my mother's appearance, I'm afraid."
"Don't be afraid, we have found Aunt Wei's whereabouts, and she will be back in less than two days."
Xiaoxi's face finally leaked a light smile in the past few days, and Ye Xingchen saw a smile on her face. And my heart became much clearer.
"Xiaoxi, I like to see you smiling, that's all!"
Xiao Xi looked at Jiuye in front of him a little flurry, and said with a slightly hot and sullen face.
"I always laugh like this, others must think I'm a fool!"
"yes, aren't you just a fool?"
"Jiuye, you want to find a fight, right?"
Ye Xingchen grabbed her beckoning and grabbed it, he knew how sharp it was, and he had already understood it a long time ago with a mysterious smile,
"The heroine is disrespectful, your cat's claw skills are really powerful, and you have been willing to bow down since you were a child."
Xiaoxi was amused by Ye Xingchen and giggled, and said proudly, "Look at you, you will still bully me in the future, even Old Man Ling has been tricked." ”
After the two of them played around, they were a lot more relaxed, and Xiaoxi looked at the handsome Ye Xingchen in front of him and smiled weirdly.
"Jiuye, is there a girl who has caught you like this? Hee-hee-hee! ”
"Yes, it's a dirty little wild cat, and a monkey who loves to drill into dogs."
Xiaoxi wondered in her heart, how could this seem to be talking about her when she was a child, but she didn't know him when she was a child.
Ye Xingchen looked at Xiao Xi who was pouting happily, and just smiled lightly, and that weird smile made Xiao Xi feel that it was her.
This was a dark shadow that appeared silently beside the two of them, Ye Xingchen waved his hand, and the person left quickly.
Xiaoxi knew that he still had a lot of things to do, and she shouldn't ask about these things.
"You go and get busy with yours, you don't have to worry about me, I'll sit down for a while and go back to my room to rest."
"Okay, you promise me a good rest, it's a little cold here at night, you go back to your room early."
Ye Xingchen tightened the clothes on Xiaoxi's neckline and gently touched her head. Then he got up and left to go to the study.
After sitting for a while, Xiaoxi was about to go back to the house, but when he passed by his study, he looked at the candle flame inside, thinking that he should still be busy with his business.
Remembering that the cloak on his body should be returned to him, he gently moved to the door of his study and did not knock, but stood quietly at the door, hesitating whether to knock on the door, but the door opened at this time.
Ye Xingchen seemed to know that she was coming, and before Xiaoxi could react, he didn't let him into the house.
"You sit down and have a cup of hot tea, I have a few letters to reply to."
Xiaoxi took off the cloak and put it on the hanger, picked up the hot tea on the coffee table and drank it slowly, the tea smelled fragrant, Xiaoxi picked up the teapot and opened the tea lid, which could vaguely see that the tea leaves were standing up one by one.
He heard the shopkeeper boast in front of them before, this should be good tea, anyway, she doesn't understand this, when she is thirsty, she drinks a cup of cow, even if it is white water, it is sweet.
Ye Xingchen, who wrote the reply, glanced at Xiaoxi and smiled faintly.
Xiaoxi was a little bored and didn't want to disturb him, so he got up and took a look here and there in the study, and when he saw the guqin in the corner of the study, he walked over curiously.
This guqin has a beautiful shape, the body is full of quaint purple lacquer, and when you get closer, it seems to exude a faint fragrance.
Xiaoxi stood aside silently, not daring to approach such a precious guqin, feeling that he was so vulgar, he felt a deep sense of guilt if he was too close to it, and only a noble and elegant person like Jiuye was worthy of such a good qin.
Ye Xingchen saw Xiaoxi's caution and joy, and walked to her side with some distress and took her hand, the hands of the two overlapped, slowly stroking this fine guqin.
"Xiaoxi, I like it."
Ye Xingchen was very close to Xiao Xi, his chin was gently pressed against her hair, and his eyes were only the eyes of the person he liked in front of him.
Xiaoxi didn't answer, and Ye Xingchen asked softly again:
"Xiaoxi, I like it."
"I like it!"
The person behind him held Xiaoxi's small and delicate right hand tightly, closed his eyes and pressed against the top of her head, and his tone was low and infatuated
"Me too!"
After the surprise, Xiaoxi also felt a little strange, and gently retreated, her face was very unnatural. Ye Xingchen was a little reluctant and just smiled lightly, her smile made Xiao Xi feel more comfortable.
"Jiuye, I want to hear it, it's good for you to play a song for me." Thinking about it too late, "It's too late, I'm bothering you, you can rest." ”
"Never bothered, sit down."
Xiao Xi saw Ye Xingchen's white and slender fingers skillfully plucked, and the crisp and pleasant sound of the piano woke up, and the silent trees and flowers around Xiao Xijue woke up. and the handsome player has become one with the sound of the piano, which makes Xiaoxi feel that he has really gone to the Nine Heavens. Xiaoxi was deeply intoxicated by the beautiful sound of the piano.
She was originally sitting on the chair next to Ye Xingchen after finishing the song, in order to show her admiration for Ye Xingchen, she completely disregarded her own image, Xiaoxi had hugged Ye Xingchen's thighs tightly, and completely forgot how indecent her posture was at this time.
Xiaoxi thought about it for a long time, and finally said, "Jiuye, are you an immortal sent from the sky?" ”
"Fool! Get up and cool on the ground. ”
As he spoke, he pulled Xiaoxi up from the ground, and smiled softly when he saw her naughty and helpless appearance;
"There is a woman like you who has no manners at all, and she loves to be naughty and messing around, how can she get married. Otherwise, I'll reluctantly keep you. ”
"You're not my mother, let alone my father, I don't want you to raise you, I can support me and my mother myself, just like that, I just want to express my inner feelings, your piano sound is so beautiful, I feel so unreal, I feel that as soon as the piano stops, you will fly away, so I want to hold your legs."
"What a fool! But what you say, I naturally believe it. ”
Ye Xingchen listened to Xiaoxi's words that were a little too simple and silly, and his heart was soft and light, such a special praise was better than those gorgeous poems and famous sayings in the past.
Xiaoxi feels that an elegant and introverted person like Jiuye will believe and encourage herself, which makes her more confident.
"Jiuye, you're so nice." The two smiled slightly.
Xiaoxi found that Jiuye was really indulgent to herself, she was so rude and lowly, Jiuye was so noble and elegant, but he never disliked himself, but he cared for himself everywhere, and helped himself without asking for anything in return when he was in trouble.
When Yiyi delivered food to Xiaoxi the next morning, her face was very bad, Xiaoxi asked if she was uncomfortable, and Yiyi just shook her head silently.
"Yiyi, I'll help you do some things in the future, you're so busy."
Xiao Xi saw that Yiyi didn't answer, and then said, "I'll cook rice."
"This is not Qinglong Mountain, naturally someone does this."
Xiaoxi didn't have much appetite, so she pulled Yiyi to sit beside her,
"Yiyi, where did my master go?"
Yiyi seemed a little absent-minded, "He naturally goes where he needs to go and does what he likes." ”
It seems that she doesn't want to say more to Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi feels that when she sees Yiyi this time, she has changed a little, and she doesn't know what she did wrong.
"Last night, did Childe stroke the piano for you?"
Xiaoxi nodded, but Yiyi turned around angrily, and the anger in her eyes seemed to poke Xiaoxi through the hole.
"Do you know that you will harm him if you are so willful, just with the perfect piano skills and the rare sound of the piano last night, his enemies may be able to find him and put him in danger, how difficult it is for him to get to this point, do you know?"
Xiaoxi faced Yiyi's questioning, and for some reason her heart hurt.
"It's me who is bad, I know he is not easy."
Xiao Xi remembered the scars all over his body and the tormented detoxification method.
"Yiyi, I will never let him play the piano for me again."
Yiyi knew Xiaoxi's unintentionality, but how could she not understand what was wrong with Xiaoxi, it was Ye Xingchen's care and difference in Xiaoxi that made her uncomfortable.
"Xiaoxi, if you don't want to be a red face, stay away from Gongzi."
"I'm afraid that if you know his identity, you'll be grateful to me when you wake up."
Yiyi left the house in a hurry with cruel words, leaving a stupid little joy,
Xiaoxi never understood, didn't she just play a tune to her, why did it become a disaster for Hongyan, she was still 108,000 miles away from Hongyan like this, she felt that she had to find Yiyi to explain it clearly, and Jiuye didn't mean that to her.
Isn't it? Xiaoxi asked herself, but when she thought of Jiuye's strange appearance last night, why didn't she dare to be so sure.
Xiaoxi stayed in the room all day and didn't dare to go out, for fear that she would get into trouble, for fear that she would let Yiyi or others misunderstand, even if she wanted to ask Jiuye and Wei's situation, she didn't dare, thinking of Yiyi's anger, why was she a little weak-hearted.
Ye Xingchen was a little unsettled today, and when the guards came to report the news, he just nodded, and his eyes had been looking out of the window several times. The worry and distraction in his eyes deeply stabbed Yiyi on the side.
"Yiyi, it's noon, why haven't I seen Xiaoxi yet, she's ............ body"
"Lord Wang, Xiaoxi should just be tired, her body is already well."
Ye Xingchen's face calmed down when he heard this.
Feng Ping and the others tracked for a day and a night, and finally caught up with Wei and the others, and found the exhausted Wei and a group of masked people in black short shirts in an abandoned farmhouse.
Feng Ping didn't notice it when they approached quietly, it seemed that the martial arts of these people were not high, and Feng Ping felt that their weapons were like a family guard.
After Feng Ping and a few of them rushed in, those people reacted, and after a while, the other party was obviously much weaker, and a few of them had to lay down their weapons and flee for their lives since they saw the fierce opponent. After a fight, since there is only one person left, it is still a bit manly.
When Xiao Hu was about to leave a live mouth, he didn't expect him to faint, so he was unceremoniously unable to leave him a live mouth.
was stopped by Feng Ping, and gave the man a solid punch, this time he was going to be completely dizzy.
Feng Ping looked at the frightened Wei Shi, and felt a little self-blame in his heart, so he loosened the tie for her,
"Yu Niang, I'm late, you're suffering, let's go home."
Feng Ping quickly picked up Wei's back, but when he passed by the man, he saw his weapon, and there was a moment of trembling.
Wei Shi was lying on the person's back for a long time, and she didn't dare to rely on it, but why did it remind her of the previous things, why did God give her everything so sad, incompetence is her feelings or life experience, she only hopes that her little preference is good now. Nothing really matters anymore.
