30. Desperate
At that moment, Wen Qian turned her head to meet the cruel eyes of the veiled woman above, where the flames were burning, and she wanted to kill her. In an instant, Wen Qian finally knew why she was familiar, even if she covered her face, she recognized it - Zhang Ji!
The body fell out of the bow of the boat, and Wen Qian's dark pupils reflected half of Zhang Ji's face with a wicked smile, pretending not to stand firm, while waiting to see her fall into the water. Although spring has begun, the river is still quite cold, and even if you fall into it, you will die at any time if you are not swept away by the current.
When she was angry, Wen Qian backhanded, grabbed Zhang Ji's sleeve with lightning speed, and dragged her into the water.
The incident happened very suddenly, almost instantaneously, and the two fell into the canal.
"Ahh
The screams rang out, Yu Wenxu and Xiao Liang turned their heads almost at the same time, and when they saw the two of them struggling in the water, they were so frightened that they shouted in unison, "Wen Qian-"
Without thinking about it, Xiao Liang jumped into the ice river and swam to Zhang Ji without even looking at Wen Qian next to him.
Compared with Xiao Liang, Yu Wenxu on the boat seemed much calmer, he grabbed a wooden board on the bow of the boat with one hand, raised his foot to hook a strong rope next to him, wrapped it several times neatly, and then threw it at Wen Qian, "Hold it." β
Wen Qian fluttered twice, dragged the plank, and was dragged onto the boat by Yu Wenxu.
Zhang Ji was also rescued, and the servants hurriedly wrapped Xiao Liang with blankets, Xiao Liang ripped it off, wrapped Zhang Ji, and hurriedly carried her into the cabin.
Wen Qian was soaking wet, holding her body and squatting on the bow of the boat, shivering from the cold, her eyes swept through her wet hair to Xiao Liang's back.
There was no meaning in that look.
Yu Wenxu took the blanket handed by his servant and wrapped it around Wen Qian, and helped her into the cabin.
The curtain was drawn tightly, undressing, wiping hair, and drying the water on his body, Yu Wenxu was always very quiet, Wen Qian sat on the mat and her teeth trembled, and she lowered her head and didn't speak.
After a while, Yu Wenxu's indifferent voice sounded above his head, "Lost?" β
Wen Qian's eyes froze, only to realize that Yu Wenxu was asking about Xiao Liang, and she chuckled at the corner of her mouth, "What is there to lose?" β
Reaching out and gently hugging Yu Wenxu's waist, the soft blanket rubbed lightly on his body, "Isn't this good?" He has people he wants to save, and it has nothing to do with me. And, won't you save me too? β
Yu Wenxu lifted her chin with two fingers, making her look up at herself, "Do you really think so?" Maybe I'll never want to be as desperate for you as Xiao Liang did, and you don't care? β
Because of the cold, Wen Qian's body couldn't help shaking, and the water in her eyes was flashing.
"At least you still care about me, that's enough." She closed her eyes slightly, rested her head on Yu Wenxu's lower abdomen, and quietly clenched the hand behind him into a fist.
***
After a simple change of clothes, Xiao Liang's boat immediately docked, and the stewards hurriedly found a house for them to rest. Ginger soup, Dingjing pills, blankets, and stoves are sent in circles.
Xiao Liang carried Zhang Ji into the bedroom wing, and the others retreated in acknowledgment.
Zhang Ji nestled in Xiao Liang's arms, shivering from the cold, like a poor little animal seeking refuge.
Seeing Wen Qian and Yu Wenxu's intimacy just now, she remembered what happened to her and hated Wen Qian very much. She hated herself even more because she was just her stand-in, she was afraid that Xiao Liang would find out the truth, so anger rose from her heart, and evil was born to her guts. I couldn't help but teach her a lesson.
Fortunately, Wen Qian was taken away by Yu Wenxu before she could speak.
Xiao Liang put Zhang Ji on the soft bed against the wall, the worry on his face had faded, and he couldn't see any expression.
She covered her face and feigned panic and fear, and raised her big pitiful eyesβthe only thing she could see on her face.
thought that Xiao Liang would comfort her as usual, but the first words he said made Zhang Ji break out in a cold sweat.
"Who the hell are you?"
