Pei Yuanfeng's face turned pale, and he looked at me without saying a word.

I still looked at him calmly, but I could feel the smell of wine rushing up for a while, the corners of my eyes were crimson, and even faintly hot, but the faint smile on the corners of my mouth was always cold.

But Pei Yuanfeng looked at me, but it was not such a temperature at all.

The two eyes, cold and hot, intertwined in the air, and although the surroundings were so calm that I could even hear the sound of a needle falling to the ground, I could clearly feel the surge in his heart at this moment, no less than the surging tide.

I don't know how long it lasted like this, but his gaze finally flickered a little and slowly narrowed.

The smile on the corner of my mouth deepened a little, and it was also a little colder, and I walked up to him and looked into his eyes: "No, right?" ”

“……”

"Actually, originally, there were."

“……”

"However, it didn't keep it."

Pei Yuanfeng seemed to remember something, slowly raised his head to look at me, his eyes flashed with a little restrained essence, and said in a deep voice: "No wonder, at that time, you would come up with an idea to let the court lower its posture and invite Fu Badai into the court." As soon as he leaves Sichuan, Xichuan doesn't even have a person who can suppress you. ”

I looked at him calmly and didn't speak.

"Was it at that time that you expected today?"

I smiled faintly: "I'm not him, I don't have the ability to know five hundred years before and five hundred years later." ”

“……”

"I've never been unrelievable to a position that no one can shake."

“……”

"I'm saying this just to make you ...... And him, clear one thing. ”

"You say."

"He wants to ask me to go back, not to mention that he can't please move me, you let him think clearly first, if I go back, Xichuan won't be able to call the shots!"

Pei Yuanfeng's face turned pale, and he looked at me in disbelief, while I continued to look directly into his eyes and said word by word: "If he really wants to invite me back, no one else will please move me." You sue him, let him come by himself! ”

“……”

"I'm waiting for him in Jiangnan!"

“……”

"However, if he insists on going his own way and uses some unseemly means to invite me, then I will really go back and let him see, Xichuan, who should have the final say!"

After speaking, I snapped and put the wine glass in my hand on the table, this sound was not too loud, but because the entire side hall was silent, but there was also a bit of a frightening feeling, everyone was shocked, and the Han sisters sitting next to me looked at me with a look of disbelief and a frightened expression.

I bowed my head at them calmly and said lightly: "Words are not speculative, and the wine has lost its flavor." Let me take my leave. ”

After speaking, he picked up Li'er, the child was still stunned, but he was not frightened by Pei Yuanfeng, but suddenly saw a completely strange mother, which made her a little overwhelmed, and I didn't even make a sound when I held it in my arms, only looked at me with a pair of ignorant and innocent eyes, I hugged her tightly, and then turned around and walked outside.

Just when I just walked to the gate, Pei Yuanfeng's voice came from behind me-

"Young Baby ......"

His voice, no longer as sharp as just now, with a hint of trembling, but made my stiff steps stop, knowing that it was useless to turn back, but I still couldn't help it, and slowly turned my head away.

He stood in the doorway and looked at me, his eyes twinkling, and there was an indescribable sadness.

Before today, I didn't think that one day Pei Yuanfeng, who would blush in front of me and be speechless, would have such sharp eyes and words, but he, I think, he never thought that I would have such a sharp side, like two most familiar strangers.

Looking at him is like watching me come to this day over the years.

I didn't speak, just hugged Li'er and looked at him, Pei Yuanfeng took a step towards me with a slight tremble, but stopped after a step, as if he was in a dilemma, no matter what he did, it was wrong.

After being silent for an unknown amount of time, he finally spoke, and said slowly, "You, do you really want to stay here?" ”

My heart moved.

He didn't ask me to go back to Xichuan, but he asked me if I really wanted to stay here......

Hearing this, Pei Yuanxiu, who had been standing inside and had not spoken, flickered his eyes and looked at me burningly, as if he was going to imprint my whole person into his eyes.

I was stared at like that, and I almost couldn't escape, and even the li'er in my arms frowned slightly and looked at the two of us.

I took a deep breath and said slowly, "I told you. ”

“……”

"I'm in Jiangnan, waiting for him!"

After saying this, I didn't look at anyone anymore, turned around and walked away without looking back.

I didn't stop to take a step back to the inner courtyard with Li'er in my arms, and Li'er didn't speak, just lying quietly in my arms all the way until I pushed the door into the house and slowly put her on the edge of the bed to sit down.

The child looked at me with big eyes, and after a long while, he said softly, "Mother, are you crying?" ”

I looked down at her and smiled, "No." ”

She stretched out her little hand and rubbed it on my face, the warm skin was close to her soft little hand, feeling the temperature of her palm, which made me tremble slightly, but still smiled calmly: "Mother didn't cry." You see, there are no tears on my mother's face. ”

She stretched out her other hand to hold my face, looked at the corner of my eye as if she was pondering, and said suspiciously, "But why, I think my mother is crying?" ”

This time, I couldn't stop laughing.

Gently reached out and held her in his arms, all the sourness was swallowed into his stomach.

I didn't cry, I didn't have a tear, but who knows, where did my tears go?

Li'er nestled in my arms and said softly: "Mother, are you afraid?" Are you afraid of that person? That guy is a bad guy, right? When Li'er came back from the temple, it was that man who came to attack us, and he brought a lot of people to stop our carriage and didn't let us go. Leaving the ...... Li'er was also frightened. ”

“……”

"Mother, he's a bad person, right? He can't beat Li'er, and he's going to hurt his mother again, right? ”

“……”

I hugged her, I couldn't say a word, I just felt full of sourness, and I almost couldn't help but burst out of my eyes.

What do I use to sue this boy - no, he is not a bad person, he was, the most protective person for me!

Why? Why, did it come to this day?!

For the rest of the day, I didn't go out of the inner courtyard again, nor did I ask again what the outcome of the banquet in the side hall was, until dusk fell, and the faint sunset could no longer illuminate the retreat through the dense bamboo forest, I lit the candlestick, and coaxed Li'er to go to bed early.

The weather gradually began to get hot, covered with a thin quilt to make Li'er a little irritable, so I picked up the fan and carefully fanned her in the cool breeze, and she finally calmed down and slowly fell asleep under the cool breeze.

Looking at her round face still red, she muttered something while she was half asleep, innocent, like a fragile treasure, I didn't know how to protect her. But I also know that no matter how I don't know, no matter how helpless I am, I won't let anyone hurt her again.

Not even at all.

I stayed with her, and after a long time, there was a familiar smell in the quiet air, followed by a very light footsteps, from far to near, and slowly walked to the door.

I turned around calmly and saw Pei Yuanxiu standing there.

Not surprisingly, I knew he would come to me, and even if it wasn't him, whoever I said at the banquet today would have experienced a sleepless night. It's just that the time came so late, and it seems that this banquet didn't go well.

Thinking of this, he had already slowly walked over and stopped behind me.

In the air, his breath became more and more intense, as if a tangible embrace, holding me in it.

He leaned down, looked at Li'er, and said softly, "Is she sleeping okay?" ”

“…… Well. ”

"I hope today, it didn't scare her."

My eyelashes fluttered slightly, and I said softly, "With me here, it won't scare her." ”

A pair of hands, with a temperature hotter than the summer sun, gently touched my shoulders, and together with his breath, he whispered softly in my ear: "You are just a woman, why do you have to carry everything on yourself?" ”

My hand shaking the fan stopped in the air, and the cool breeze completely stopped. The tense and scorching aura became more and more intense, and I was silent for a while, then slowly turned my head to look at his eyes that were still shining in the faint candlelight, and whispered: "A woman, there is really no need to carry everything on herself. But doesn't anyone tell you what kind of woman I am? ”

What other women can't do, I can't do.

What other women can't carry, I may not be able to carry.

This is what makes me a human being, but different from everyone else.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile faintly.

The hand that caressed my shoulder reached out and touched my cheek, and the calloused fingertips rubbed the corners of my slightly curled lips, but it erased the curvature of this faint smile.

"Don't laugh like that."

“……”

"Don't say that, either."

“……”

"I don't need to know. I just need to know it's you. ”

My heart fluttered, and I looked up at him.

The room was very dark, only a flickering candle flame, which was clearly extinguished, making everything around him seem so illusory and unreal, but his gaze was so firm that it seemed to be immutable, and when he looked at me, it seemed that he could see through a thousand years at a glance.

Under such a gaze, any uncertainty can only be defeated.

My lips trembled slightly under his fingertips, and even my voice was chilling: "I, which one is me, do you know?" ”
