Chapter 42 Exploring the Firewood House at Night
The firewood room is indeed dilapidated and rotten, and it does look like it will leak.
Light came through the holes in the walls, giving it a bleak feel. The door didn't close, and it didn't seem to close at all, and it was blown from side to side by the wind, making a "squeak" sound. A man in white could be vaguely seen leaning on a haystack by the firewood, reading a book by the dim flickering candlelight, looking focused. The dim light outlined the lines of his face, and even in the flickering light, the perfect contours were almost impeccable.
Tonight, he seems to be a little different, his eyebrows and eyes are warm, his bearing is elegant, he has never seen it, and the appearance of reading a book quietly seems to have a special charm, and he really responds to Song Yuanxi's title of "Ice Glass Descending Jade Son". Even if you are in such a dilapidated firewood room, you can sit there casually, and you feel that you are full of an unearthly temperament, quiet as a white lotus, like a celestial person.
But what's going on with this strong sense of dissonance in her heart?!
She walked in with the quilt in her arms.
As soon as the tsundere prince looked up and saw that she was coming, he quickly stood up, and at the same time quickly put the book in his hand behind him, and said happily: "Why are you here?" He looked at the quilt she was holding in his hand again, and said with a smile: "...... Brought me a quilt? "
Xia Taozhi immediately rolled her eyes at him and corrected, "No, I'm here to send a quilt to Xiaohua." "
The tsundere prince didn't care about this, he stretched out his hand and took the quilt in her hand, and said: "The princess still feels sorry for this king, knowing that this little broken house is cold, she specially sent a quilt to this king." "
"......"
Sure enough, he still looked more harmonious with his dead face.
"...... It's not for you, give it back to me. "
"Don't give it, this king is very cold."
"......"
Peony followed behind, speechless, her mother was fine except for duplicity. She glanced around, and saw little mud snorting on the haystack beside her. He was fighting and being punished today, he was already exhausted, and he was sleeping at the moment, I don't know what he dreamed of, saliva was flowing from the corner of his mouth, and he muttered: "Sister Begonia...... I want to eat the hibiscus cake you made......"
Everyone: "......"
Don't forget to eat even when you fall asleep!
There was a cold wind pouring in through the ventilated holes around the firewood room, and it was cold. Peony hurriedly took the quilt in her hand, covered the little mud, and carefully pinched the corners of the quilt.
And then...... She slipped away with interest, and when she left, she also thoughtfully helped them close the tattered and useless door of the firewood room.
Xia Taozhi: "......" hurriedly turned around and wanted to follow out: "Peony, you wait for me......" This girl is too unrighteous to leave her here alone!
Her hand was grabbed, and with a force, she fell into an embrace. The person in front of him looked at her with a smile on his face, his eyes flashed, revealing a hint of cunning: "...... Do you want to run? "
She struggled twice and didn't break free, looked at him, and looked at him with a sincere gaze: "You let go, I won't run." "
"Really?"
"Seriously."
The tsundere prince really let go with a smile.
Xia Taozhi snickered in her heart, how stupid! It's so easy to be fooled, whoever doesn't run is a fool! Turn around and run.
The white shadow flickered in front of him, so fast that he couldn't see it clearly, and in the blink of an eye, the figure of the tsundere prince was already standing at the door, and he raised his eyebrows at her with a smile.
"...... Where do you want to go? "
She was stunned, so ...... What a quick way to do it! Forget that he's now regained his strength.
So I had to talk nonsense: "I...... I want to go out and see the moon. "
"Oh? Where is the moonlight pretty? "
"...... on the top of the mountain, of course," she blurted out.
Song Yuanxi's eyes flashed, the corners of his lips hooked, and he pulled her away without saying a word: "Then what are you waiting for, let's go." "
Hey, hey...... Wait, she's talking nonsense, it's very cold on the top of the mountain at night, what kind of moon are you looking at?!
Hey, wait, what's this?
The person in front of her was holding her with one hand, and she was holding a book in the other, which was inexplicably familiar......
She snatched it up and looked at it, and immediately became angry. This, isn't this the book in the study today that she mentioned words?! was secretly knocked out of the study by this dead tsundere?!
Immediately said angrily: "You...... How dare you steal my books! "
Someone didn't have the slightest embarrassment to be exposed in person, his skin was so thick that he was already invulnerable, and he said with a smile: "Don't say it so ugly, I just found a book to relieve my boredom when I was bored......"
Men read the script to relieve boredom? When she was a three-year-old child?
Caught off guard, the book in his hand was pulled back by him.
I saw him take two steps back and shook the book in his hand proudly: "Little Peach, you are so stingy, I haven't finished reading it yet, I'll return you when I'm done!" With that, he turned around and ran.
Xia Taozhi reacted and hurriedly caught up: "You stop!" Give it back to me! "
"...... If you can catch up with me, I'll pay you back! "
"......"
As a result, of course, it can't catch up.
This person is so good, he will always be at a distance in front of her eyes, she can't catch up no matter how she chases, and she is so tired that she is out of breath. One of them ran, the other chased, and before she knew it, she ran to the pomegranate tree on the top of the mountain, and she really couldn't run, so she had to stop and rest.
The wind was strong at the top of the mountain, and the night wind blew into her clothes, and her sweaty back instantly cooled and shivered.
Immediately, a coat with a warm body temperature was draped and wrapped around her. Song Yuanxi took her into his arms, wiped the sweat on her forehead for her, and said softly: "...... So what to desperately chase? Just tell me to stop and wait for you......"
The sound of a powerful heartbeat fell into her ears through the thin clothes, she sniffed the familiar smell on the clothes, her nose suddenly sour, this embrace was too warm, and she forgot to struggle.
What to do? I know that I shouldn't have any ...... about this person But she didn't seem to be able to refuse him anymore.
The dark night sky was full of stars, like countless pairs of eyes, twinkling one after another.
Half-ringing, she said, "Go back......"
Song Yuanxi obviously didn't mean to let go, and asked casually: "Did you and your senior brother come here often before?" "
Xia Taozhi replied that this was the place where she used to stay the most. When she was a child, she would come up here when she was unhappy, and once she fell asleep here and blew the cold wind all night, and when she woke up the next day, she was as hot as she was roasted, and she couldn't move, or the elder brother came to carry her down the mountain......
Song Yuanxi sneered in his heart, he knew that this must be the place they often came to in their so-called childhood sweethearts, so Luo Fan would be so nervous during the day. Hmph, don't let him come, right? He's going to be biased. What childhood sweetheart, two little guesses, deep feelings? It's just that he appeared a little earlier than him, and those who came early may not be able to win. He can also read the books she has read, go to the places she has been, and leave memories that belong only to him and her.
The wind was whirring in their ears, and Xia Taozhi glanced at the tsundere prince who was only wearing a thin middle coat, and asked, "You...... Isn't it cold? "
Someone sneezed and honestly replied, "...... I'm cold. "
"Let's go back, then." As he spoke, he took off his clothes and gave them back to him.
Song Yuanxi tightened his arms to prevent her from moving, the bodies of the two were tightly pressed together, and he grinned: "This won't be cold......
Xia Taozhi: "......" said silently in his heart, idiot, he will catch a cold.
"Little Peach...... Are you really not going back to Chujing with me? "
She subconsciously wanted to refuse.
Song Yuanxi said: "Don't be in a hurry to answer first, listen to me, and then you will decide not too late." "
Xia Taozhi was silent, and said in her heart, you can say it, I won't go back with you if you say a flower.
Song Yuanxi thought about it for a while, but decided to tell her: "I have seen another portrait, and the appearance of the person in the painting is very similar to your master and you. "
Xia Taozhi immediately raised her head and asked, "Where is it?!" "
He replied: "Chu Palace." "
Chu Palace?!
She looked at him suspiciously: "You can't be playing any conspiracy again, are you?" You want to lie to me going back with you to say that, right? "
Song Yuanxi looked aggrieved: "Why do you always think of me so much......"
"Who made you bad!"
"......"
After thinking about it, she asked again, "When did you see it?" Who is the person in the painting? "
Song Yuanxi said: "On the day we went to the Chu Palace for a banquet together, in that cold palace, I saw the painting, and I felt that the person in the painting was somewhat familiar, but I didn't remember where I saw it at that time." When I saw the portrait of your master in the study that day, I immediately remembered it. However, the painting I saw in the Chu Palace, I don't know the identity of the person in the painting, it should be the original owner of the palace. "
"Cold Palace?!" Xia Taozhi was inexplicable: "Why did my sister run away to Chu Palace?" Still in the cold palace? "
Song Yuanxi corrected her: "I didn't say that person must be your master, it's just that the eyebrows and eyes of the two portraits look quite similar." If you don't believe it, go back to Chujing with me and go into the palace to see. "
Xia Taozhi snorted coldly, and the fox's tail was exposed......
Song Yuanxi rarely put away his smile, his deep black eyes looked at her fixedly, and his expression was serious: "The prince of Xitu, the invincible "Xuanjia God of War", a manly man, stands up to the sky and the earth, and does what he says. I won't lie to you anymore if I say I won't lie to you anymore. "
The sentences are sonorous.
She was dumbfounded for a moment, unable to think of anything to refute him, and she really felt that this matter was too unbelievable, and she wanted to find out very much.
In the middle of the sound, she said as if she had made up her mind: "Anyway, I want to figure it out." "
Someone was overjoyed when he heard this, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, and finally he couldn't bear it anymore, so he trembled and said: "Let's go, the wind is too strong, and you will catch ......a cold if you blow for a long time."
Xia Taozhi glanced at him, do you still know that you will catch a cold? Get up and go.
Suddenly, the tsundere prince said again: "Wait, there is one more thing to do." "
"What's the matter?"
As soon as she turned around, she saw his face enlarged in front of her eyes, and his eyes seemed to reflect the entire starry sky, bright and moving, and seemed to have a bewildering and seductive color, and whispered: "The most important thing tonight......
She: "......"
Addicted, isn't it?!
Someone was very proud in his heart, and finally left a memory here that only belonged to the two of them.
