Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Arrogant Man
The peonies in the clusters, the strange fragrance that bloomed suddenly covered Xue Jiao's eyes like a mist, she gradually couldn't see the figure in front of her, she only knew that there was a person there, instinctively, she walked in that direction, pulling out the flower branches, she was curious, this independent courtyard does not have a room and a tile, some are just peony flowers in a courtyard, there is such a place in the prince's mansion here? Curiosity prompted her to keep driving forward, as the sound of the flute gradually deepened, the mist gradually faded, Xue Jiao had already stood among the flowers, looking around, there were peonies all around, reaching out to brush the petals of the peony, but there was a unique touch, like cold snow, without any temperature, as cold as snowflakes.
Xue Jiao's eyes looked down unconsciously, and she glanced around, although the petals were cold, she didn't feel the slightest cold, but the more so, the more she felt that everything was a little weird and terrifying.
Xiao Yin was high-pitched again, as if with a trace of noisy emotion and uneasiness, as if accompanied by a wave of anger, so that Xiao Yin gradually became a little harsh, Xue Jiao couldn't help frowning, turned around, she heard, behind her, looking around, only to see a person in an independent flower, holding a jade flute, placed on his lips, his fingertips kept changing, and Xiao Yin kept ups and downs.
It was a man in white, his black hair was draped on his back, a hairpin was tightly tied, and a bun of hair was pulled up, she only saw the man's back, tall and bleak, and then, the bleak and tactful style gradually covered the original timbre, slowly low, and finally fell the last syllable perfectly.
The man slowly lowered his hands, clenched Xiao in his hand, and looked ahead, Xue Jiao couldn't see his expression at the moment, she could only feel and feel his sadness, as if she thought of her original self, with countless twists and turns.
Xue Jiao walked slowly towards the man, her steps were very light and small, she looked at his back: "You blow very well......"
Maybe she didn't know what to say and didn't want to break the tranquility at the moment, but looking at the man's depressed figure, Xue Jiao couldn't help but want to get closer, because he gave her a familiar feeling.
The man turned around suddenly, looking at Xue Jiao, who was standing behind him for some time, only blaming himself for being too focused and not even feeling someone approaching.
The man frowned, and his eyes froze: "Who are you?" ”
was suddenly called by the man, Xue Jiao seemed to be a child who had done something wrong, she didn't know what to do, and she felt inexplicable, so that Xue Jiao couldn't say what she wanted to say.
Seeing this, the man's eyes couldn't help but tighten, no one had ever dared to step into this place without his order, of course, all along, this courtyard was locked, and he couldn't enter without a key.
There is no one in the Prince's Mansion who does not know this, unless the woman is not from the Prince's Mansion.
Seeing that Xue Jiao didn't answer, the man spoke again: "Say, who are you?" How did it end up here? There was inevitably a hint of questioning in his tone.
This Xue Jiao seemed to react, she was not a thief, and the tone in front of her was very blunt, which really made her unhappy.
Raised his eyes to look at him: "This son, who do you keep asking me about?" So who are you? ”
The man's face was inevitably not good-looking, and no one had ever disobeyed his will like this, but at this moment, the man suddenly looked at the place where Xue Jiao was standing, and his eyebrows were full of anger.
It turned out that Xue Jiao didn't pay attention to it, and accidentally stepped on the peony flower, which is a man's beloved thing, and no one has ever dared to trample on it like this.
But then he also noticed the jade pendant hanging on Xue Jiao's waist, and suddenly understood Xue Jiao's identity in his heart.
However, no one should spoil his beloved things in this way.
The man frowned: "Before I make a move, leave quickly, otherwise I dare not guarantee that you are still alive." ”
The meaning of these words Xue Jiao was really unhappy to hear, her face was not good-looking, and her eyes showed slight anger: "What Childe said is really ridiculous, if I don't leave, are you going to kill me?" ”
With such an attitude of the man, Xue Jiao suddenly turned around, quickly stepped forward towards Xue Jiao, grabbed Xue Jiao's arm, and with a bang, Xue Jiao was easily lifted up, Xue Jiao's eyes widened in fright, and she opened her mouth and shouted: "What are you going to do?" Let go, let go of me. Suspended in mid-air, she struggled and waved the man's hand: "Let go, let go." ”
The man carried Xue Jiao all the way to the outside of the courtyard, Xue Jiao let go one by one, twisted, and the man shouted: "Shut up." ”
This sound really frightened Xue Jiao, and she forgot to struggle, when she really felt that she was standing on the ground, Xue Jiao's face was angry, she raised her hand, snapped, and slapped the man's cheek, the man was standing in front of Xue Jiao, feeling the hot pain in his cheek, and the man frowned: "Presumptuous, do you know what to do again?" ”
Xue Jiao replied without looking at it: "Of course I know, I just want to beat you, a person who is arrogant and angry, and behaves frivolously." ”
When the man heard it, he was arrogant? Defiant? And frivolous manners?
The deep gaze seemed to be brewing a raging fire at this moment, and he glared at Xue Jiao, no one had ever dared to be so presumptuous in front of him, and she was still the first one.
Standing outside the courtyard, the moonlight is much brighter, for some reason, as if the thin layer of fog faded, Xue Jiao saw the man's appearance clearly, a very beautiful man, Xue Jiao's first image has only one word, beauty, I can't tell what kind of beauty, the man has a pair of deep and slender Danfeng eyes, think about it, her eyes are so charming than ordinary women, it is really sighing. Thin red lips, revealing a faint paleness, perhaps the evening breeze blows, the man's hair is a little messy, and the rigid outline, as if it is carved out, delicate facial features, with a woman's indescribable charm, but the overall embodiment of the man, but there is no little bit of women's delicateness, on the contrary, it is an awe-inspiring domineering, involuntary kind of intimidating temperament.
Xue Jiao looked at the man, although it was very beautiful, but she had seen someone who was a hundred times better looking than him, and she couldn't help but think of Xiahou Jie in her heart, the man who loved him all his life, he paid for himself a lot, but a lot.
She clearly understood, but she didn't dare to reply, she kept avoiding, there was no possibility, brother and sister are brother and sister, this is a fact that cannot be changed.
The man suddenly realized that the person in front of him did not care about his anger, but was distracted and grabbed Xue Jiao's wrist.
The painful touch suddenly made Xue Jiao come back to her senses, and she looked at the man, only to remember that there was a difficult problem in front of her at this moment.
shook off the man's shackles: "Childe is better to focus on himself." ”
"Self-respect?" The man frowned: "In the middle of the night, a woman broke into the man's realm and told me about self-respect?" ”
"Your boundary?" Xue Jiao looked at the plaque outside the courtyard and saw three gilded fonts 'Peony Garden' written on it.
The meaning is very simple, and Xue Jiao also understands what it means, she looked at the man, obviously suspicious.
This is his realm? A man planting a yard of peony flowers?
The man looked at Xue Jiao in disbelief, and he didn't bother to explain: "Don't challenge my patience again and again, I don't have anything for you and me." ”
Hearing this, Xue Jiao suddenly thought of something and asked, "What kind of tune did you play just now?" ”
To say, it was this piece that gave her an indelible impression, and she uncharacteristically asked about the tune.
The man obviously didn't want to answer, so he glanced at Xue Jiao complicatedly, and suddenly became suspicious in his heart.
didn't make contact with Xuejiao again, didn't speak, and turned around to leave.
This time, Xue Jiao grabbed his arm: "Don't go, answer my question first." ”
The man stopped for a moment, lowered his head, glanced at the hand that grabbed his arm, and said coldly, "Let go." ”
For some reason, he suddenly felt that this woman had a familiar feeling, but he also knew that it couldn't be that person, but that familiar feeling still made him unbearable to hurt her, so he just treated her with a cold attitude, and she touched on the past that he didn't want to mention.
The man's tone was very cold, and he instantly lowered his point.
Xue Jiao suddenly involuntarily let go of her hand, withdrew her hand, and watched the man leave, Xue Jiao was also speechless, she didn't know why she suddenly asked about this, this was the first time she pulled someone to ask him, looking back, Xue Jiao laughed at herself inexplicably, Ling Xuejiao, you are Ling Xue Jiao now, what are you still looking forward to?
The next day, when Xue Jiao woke up, she saw Ling Xijiao sitting in front of her bed, and was startled, "Sister, you ...... What happened to you? ”
Seeing that Xijiao's eyes were red and her eyes were swollen, Xue Jiao looked at Xijiao worriedly, reached out and grabbed Xijiao's hand, and covered it tightly: "Sister, did something happen?" ”
Xijiao's face turned pale, shook her head, and suddenly hugged Xue Jiao and cried bitterly.
This frightened Xue Jiao, I had never seen my sister so sad, my sister used to be a smiling face all day long, even if she had never lost her temper with the people in the family, how could she have cried like this.
Xue Jiao's face was dazed, she didn't know what to do, she glanced at Xiao Wan who was standing on the side, Xiao Wan also shook her head, she came over in the morning, and saw Xi Jiao sitting in front of the window, looking at Xue Jiao, she stepped forward and wanted to wake up Xue Jiao, but Xi Jiao stopped Xiao Wan and didn't let her speak.
Xiao Wan had to stand aside. She also paid attention to Dao Xijiao's abnormality, but it was not easy to speak, so she looked at Xue Jiao helplessly.
Xue Jiao patted her back and comforted: "Sister, if there is anything, just tell me, don't hold it in your heart, then I will also feel uncomfortable." ”
Where could Xijiao, who had been crying silently, still speak, hugged Xuejiao's body tightly, trembling and crying, Xuejiao's snow-white bedding was wet with Xijiao's tears, seeing this, she had to hug her too, and wait for her to finish crying.
After waiting, Xijiao finally howled and cried into a low cry, and said tremblingly: "Xuejiao, prince...... Prince ......"
