"Follow me." Gong Chenjiao frowned, naturally took Shi Yuqi's hand, and used a pair of arms to block the people around him. That skillful movement seemed to have been rehearsed many times, and it seemed so natural, as if he should have done it.

Shi Yuqi's heartbeat skipped a beat, and then returned to normal.

That completely unfamiliar throbbing, inexplicable feeling, and a touch of warmth. It seemed as if a warm current passed through the heart and spread to the limbs.

All along, she was alone. There has never been a person who stands in front of her, as if he can shield her from all dangers. All the while, she was alone, no one gave her her back, and she wouldn't give it to others. No one is reliable except for Yihyun. Shi Yuqi has always believed in it, but now, there may be one more palace dust.

Shi Yuqi hooked the corners of her mouth, and the hand holding her was very thick and warm, with a blazing heat, which made people want to rely on it inexplicably. There is a thin layer of calluses on the fingertips, but it is not awkward, but there is an indescribable sense of security.

The fingers are slender and the bones are distinct, and in modern times it is a pair of hands that play the piano, but he has left a cocoon because of practicing swords and martial arts, but it does not affect the beauty.

"I told you that there are a lot of people outside, you don't believe it, you have to come out to see the lanterns, how about it?" Back at Liuxiangju, Gong Chenjiao glanced at Shi Yuqi, but did not let go of his hand. Gong Chen wanted to hold Shi Yuqi like this, no matter where he went to the world.

Shi Yuqi struggled for a while, and found that he couldn't break free, so he let him go. She does not reject contact with Gong Chen, who is the only one who gives her warmth unconditionally, although she is greedy, she can't have it. Because she might ruin that warmth.

"Not how! If it weren't for the sake of playing tricks on you, why would I be guilty......" Shi Yuqi whispered a sentence that disappeared into the air and no one noticed.

In the private room with the widest view on the fifth floor of Liuxiangju, Shi Yuqi broke away from Gong Chen, sat leisurely on his own exclusive seat, and deliberately distanced himself from Gong Chen, "How is it?" This is the most luxurious, elegant and stylish private room in the whole capital, even in the south of the Yangtze River! "Overhead is a retro European-style crystal chandelier, not an electric lamp, of course, but a candle-lit kind.

But it's enough to climb so high to light a candle.

Bai Yu had a long and knowledgeable expression on his face, and under his feet was a smooth ceramic-like floor. When the curtains are opened, the window is not covered with window paper, but with a crystal-like transparent object that can be seen very clearly.

Gong Chenjiao looked at the furnishings in the room, and Shi Yuqi was sitting on a single chair similar to a chaise longue, and it had armrests like an ordinary chair, but it was soft (single sofa).

The square table was covered with white silk, which blocked the material of the table. There are also silk cloths folded into roses on both sides, and an enamel vase with plum blossoms in the middle of the table.

Whether it was the lamp on the wall or the lamp on the cabinet, it was also a shape that he had never seen before. Bai Yu felt very strange when he looked at everything, and couldn't help but touch it around.

Everything felt the same as the usual things, but it was completely different.

I have to say that there is a reason why it is difficult to find a private room on the fifth floor of Liuxiangju. This kind of private room is not so rare in modern times, but in ancient times, what dignitaries ate was one word, expensive. I have to say that Shi Yuqi's means of collecting money are also very good. Understand the minds of dignitaries and nobles, even if it is an ordinary dish of boiling cabbage, you can take out a tall name and sell it for two or three times the price of others.

"Curious? The crystal-like transparent material on the window is called glass, I don't know if there is anyone else in the world who will do it, but I am definitely the only one in Huaguo who can do it! Ceramic flooring, only I know the secret recipe, the sofa is simple, but you can't learn it! The sofa is filled with cotton, but you know how to make it fluffy? Therefore, if you cooperate with me, it is not us who earns, but you. Shi Yuqi introduced one by one that this most private room is completely arranged in accordance with the European retro style. She could only convince herself that she didn't take advantage of the palace dust.

"Although the other private rooms on the fifth floor have these equipment, they are definitely not as exquisite as my exclusive private room!" Shi Yuqi snapped his fingers and looked at Gong Chenjiao proudly, "Do you know why no one has ever come to me to steal a teacher?" ”

"Tell me about it." Gong Chenjiao sat down and was immediately shocked by the soft comfort. Softer than rabbit down and not deformed, this kind of thing can definitely make a lot of money if it can be sold in a large area. But everyone understands that scarcity is expensive. The rarer the thing, the more valuable it is, and the merchant understands what it is like to live in a strange thing.

Looking at Gong Chen's silent appearance, Shi Yuqi knew that Gong Chen's appearance was surprised. If there is surprise, there will be curiosity, and curiosity is easy to do. It may be much easier to let Gong Chenjiao help with sales, after all, Gong Chen's way is wider than hers.

"Because, no one can find a manufacturing location. Even if you find it by mistake, you won't be able to get in without the right way. Shi Yuqi smiled confidently.

Gong Chen's eyes narrowed, he suddenly stood up, and pulled up Shi Yuqi, "It's time to watch the fireworks!" "Changing the topic so bluntly, there is no one except Gong Chen. How on earth does such an unsociable person be a businessman?

......: "Persimmon, your topic is jumping too fast, I can't keep up!" Shi Yuqi silently walked to the balcony without saying a word.

On the balcony of the private room, Shi Yuqi leaned on the railing, looking up at the dark night sky, like rice paper splashed with ink, it was pitch black, and there was not a single star.

It wasn't until the first gong sounded that the families instantly rejoiced. A short time later, a cluster of fireworks flew into the night sky, illuminating the darkness. There is no curfew on Chinese New Year's Eve, so naturally how happy to play.

Gong Chenjiao inadvertently turned his head, and caught a glimpse of Shi Yuqi who was full of mottled "starlight" under his eyes, softening his indifferent expression. Although it is an accidental moment, people can't help but indulge in it.

"It's beautiful." The corners of Shi Yuqi's mouth raised the first smile of the new year, a smile without impurities.

"yes, it's beautiful." Gong Chenjiao raised his head casually, with an unknown meaning, "If it's okay, I'll accompany you to keep the New Year." "The anticipation in my heart is not as calm as it seems. He was afraid of someone's rejection, afraid that someone, as always, would turn him away.

Stay with her for the New Year...... Is it? Shi Yuqi was stunned, it had been ten years since no one accompanied her to keep the New Year, even if there were four servants, Shi Yuqi had areas in his heart that they couldn't touch. And the guard of the palace is never involved, too fake, and too indifferent.

"Your family." Shi Yuqi lightly reminded that she didn't like promises that couldn't be fulfilled. It's like a sentence that Shi Yuqi likes very much, since you can't do it, don't promise lightly.

"With my father and my mother with me, they won't want me to disturb them." Gong Chenjiao leaned on the railing, suddenly looking forward to this early morning. This may be the first time that he accompanies her across the Chinese New Year's Eve.

There was a deafening sound of fireworks in his ears, but Gong Chenjiao still heard the sound as low as a mosquito and a fly clearly. Although it was very light, it made Gong Chenjiao can't help but be happy. For him, even earning a treasury is not as important as this sentence.

"Thank you." Yes, thank you for being there for me at this time. This feeling is very much like home. In addition to her father, Gong Chenjiao was the first person to make her feel the warmth of home.

The corners of Shi Yuqi's eyes were a little moist, I don't know if she was too sensitive today or what, she always felt that her father and mother were watching her in the most brilliant place of fireworks.

Knowing that they are happy, that is enough. All the suffering and darkness, hatred and resentment, she bears it with all her might. She belonged to darkness, but it was God's mercy that gave her four years of light and peace.

Now that the deadline has passed, she is still the Queen of the Night, a rebellious lone wolf in the dark, untamed and uncontrollable.

Gong Chenjiao suddenly turned around and went in, and after a while, he took out two Kong Ming lanterns, took one and handed it to Shi Yuqi, "Put one." "There are already many wishing lamps in the sky, like beautiful stars.

Shi Yuqi was stunned for a moment, and then hesitated to take it. Gong Chen took a pen and ink and wrote two lines on the lamp, and then handed the pen to Shi Yuqi.

A moment later, two Kong Ming lanterns rose into the night sky and slowly faded away.

"What did you write?" Gong Chenjiao looked at the looming Kong Ming lantern, and could vaguely see the flickering flames, shivering under the cold evening breeze. But the appearance of the two lights leaning against each other is indescribably moving.

"May I not rise and fall for the rest of my life, and may I not get lost for the rest of my life." Shi Yuqi looked at her prayer lamp, in fact, her wish was very far away, right? She has become accustomed to the days of not knowing the way forward in the dark, lonely and ups and downs.

Gong Chen was silent, and suddenly looked at Shi Yuqi very seriously, "It will definitely be." "If you want, I'll give you the world you want.

"Huh, really? Accept your good words! Shi Yuqi smiled and asked casually, "What about you?" ”

Gong Chen's green silk was a little messy by the evening breeze, and inadvertently swept to the corners of his eyes, so he squinted lightly, hooked his lips and said: "May Qing's heart be like my heart, and I am willing to live up to my love." Actually, it's just his one-sided thoughts......

If this relationship will never come to fruition, whether he should persist or give up, Gong Chenjiao doesn't know. However, before Shi Yuqi falls in love with someone else, he will never let go.

Shi Yuqi fell silent, the atmosphere suddenly became unpredictable, and there were many thoughts.

The sound of fireworks in his ears has not stopped, but Shi Yuqi's thoughts have already flown away, and he doesn't know what time it is.

"Princess, do you want to have a supper?" Yaju shouted inside, breaking the endless silence.

"It's coming!" Shi Yuqi responded, and then smiled at Gong Chen, "Yaju's skills are very good, come in and try it!" ”
