Chapter Seventy-Two

To be honest, Yuan Changqing didn't feel much wronged, until he heard the grievance in his voice, he suddenly felt as if he was really wronged.

Moreover, the more I think about it, the more aggrieved I become......

If he was happy last night, he felt aggrieved now. Last night, it was clear that he wanted to explain to her, but Shanniang didn't want to hear it, and he kept saying something, not interested in why he did it......

Although she kept saying that, she did not hesitate to agree to help him deliver the letter, which made him feel that she at least trusted him, and unconditionally. So even though she has been so vicious to him, he is still very happy, really happy. Even this morning, when he was watching her in the crowd, the worry hidden in her eyes kept his mood fluttering...... Until he appeared in front of people with the prefect's wife, mother and daughter according to the plan.

When he went out of the hall with the mother and daughter, his reason told him that he should not be distracted at this time, but his eyes involuntarily glanced at her, and then he saw her look......

Before she looked at him with that suspicion and distrust, in fact, he felt in his heart that it was nothing if he didn't tell her the cause and effect, just like Shanniang said last night, she didn't need to know so much, he just needed her to help him deliver the letter...... But when she looked at him like that, he suddenly felt a kind of chagrin, just as he had been when he had not been able to avoid the stab that had struck him in the ribs, for he knew that he could have avoided such a mistake, but had neglected it out of carelessness......

For the first time, he had almost forgotten what he was doing, and he wanted to rush over and explain to her at once, because he didn't want her to look at him like that, because he wanted her to trust him so unreservedly like she did last night......

At this time, face to face with Thirteen Er, looking at those fox eyes full of suspicion, Yuan Changqing couldn't help but miss the smiling eyes when she looked at him before-even if it was mockery, it was not like now, so that he had a sense of distance that he couldn't touch......

He took a deep breath, his fingers quietly stroked the wound under his ribs, looked at Shanniang and said, "I know what you think." But I really didn't count you......"

"Really?" Shanniang interrupted him with a cold face, "Then who are you calculating?" My brother? Or my father?! ”

Yuan Changqing looked at her and paused, then suddenly raised his head and said, "Since you want to play chess, how can you not have chess pieces, can you drive your maid to get a pair of chess pieces?" ”

Shanniang frowned. Of course, she understood what he meant by wanting to talk to him alone. Thinking that some confidential topics might be involved, she turned around and ordered Sanhe Wufu to go down, and then turned around, and was just about to stab him two more sentences, when she heard Yuan Changqing suddenly say:

"You're right, in a way, I'm really calculating you......"

"Just admit it!" Shan Niang interrupted him again.

Yuan Changqing frowned suddenly. Shanniang thought that he would express his dissatisfaction, but she didn't want him to endure it, "I apologize to you. He said.

Suddenly, Shanniang was shocked. In fact, she knew that she was a little unreasonable, she came here to listen to his explanation, but he wanted to explain here, but she sarcastically mocked him one by one. And if it was in his previous life, when he encountered this situation, he would have already thrown his hands and left, where would he apologize to her......

Once again, she was deeply aware that the person in front of her was really very different from the person she remembered......

Is it because she is different that he has become different?!

She moved uncomfortably.

Yuan Changqing thought she was going to stand up, so he looked at her and said, "Don't move." He added, "There's a sweeping monk behind your right who has been staring at me for days." ”

Shanniang was stunned, instinctively wanted to turn back, but held back again, raised her eyes and asked Yuan Changqing, "Can I turn back?" ”

Yuan Changqing's eyes looked at her fixedly for a while, then he suddenly smiled and said, "Yes." But be careful, don't get caught by him. ”

It wasn't a smile that curled the corners of his eyes, nor a smile that lifted the corners of his lips, but a real smile that made a shallow groove appear on his chin.

The ditch, Ling Shanniang's eyes narrowed suddenly, and then she turned to one side, pretending to be looking for Sanhe Wufu, and looked back at the pavilion.

Sure enough, behind her, outside the bamboo forest, there was a monk who was absentmindedly sweeping the ground. When her eyes swept towards the monk, the monk suddenly lowered his head and avoided hers.

Fortunately, the man was far away from them, and he should not have been able to hear their conversation.

"Is it safe to talk here?" Shanniang looked back.

"It doesn't matter," Yuan Changqing said, "it's safest to speak under their surveillance." The so-called virtual is real, and the real is virtual. ”

"Then you ......"

Before she finished her words, Yuan Changqing intercepted her words and shook his head, saying, "Don't worry, I'm not in danger for the time being." ”

"They ......"

Once again, Yuan Changqing didn't let her finish her words, "Everyone of them doubts now, not only me." But I'm not the one they suspect the most. ”

"That ......"

"It's going to be fine, don't worry, what they're looking for is no longer with me, even if they suspect me, nothing will happen, my identity is here, they don't dare to do it without evidence." Yuan Changqing said.

Shanniang lowered her eyes and was silent for a while. Yuan Changqing, who rushed to answer all questions like this, was the first time she had seen it. Although rushing to answer seemed to make her feel at ease, in fact, she felt very bad, and felt as if she had nothing to hide in front of him.

She frowned, looked up and said, "The ......"

"That letter, you just need to help me deliver it to Lin Ruting." Again, Yuan Changqing hurriedly replied, "Don't worry, you'll be fine, I won't make people suspect you." ”

"No, I mean ......"

"I know. You're asking why I took the risk of sneaking in the middle of the night to find you. This is because you just arrived yesterday, and those people haven't had time to spy on you, and I will only look for you at that time, so that it will be the least easy to be discovered. ”

"You can ......"

"Yes, I can find you today, too. I had planned to write to you again today. The reason why I passed yesterday was really just to send you a letter, because I don't know if you want to help me, and if you don't, I'll treat it as if I didn't have that letter, and I won't have to take unnecessary risks. If you will, because of my letter, at least you will be wary of not revealing any trace in ignorance. So I ......"

He paused suddenly, lowered his eyes and didn't know what to think, and suddenly raised his eyes again, looked at her and said, "Actually, I went to look for you last night, not to find your father or your brother as you think." ”

Shanniang was stunned, "What ......"

Yuan Changqing didn't even let her finish complaining, so he rushed to say: "The reason why I am looking for you is because I need someone I can trust, act calmly and unobtrusively to help me." Your brother, to be honest, is too impulsive. Your father's goal is too big, and if he runs to the school to find Brother Ruting, it will easily arouse the suspicion of others. You're different. Others always think that you girls can't afford to do anything, but I know that although you are young, you are very safe and bold, and they never thought that I would ask you for help. Moreover, I don't know what the situation is on the side of the academy at the moment, I don't know if there are people watching over there, but I am sure that their hand has not been able to reach the fundraiser, and you have been there to help recently, even if you meet Brother Ruting there, at least it will not arouse suspicion, so I am looking for you. ”

If Shanniang had a very deep understanding of Yuan Changqing, she would have known that whenever he spoke faster and talked more, he was lying—although he had only added a lie to his words...... Of course, he didn't think it was a lie.

In order to prove that he had a valid reason to look for her, and that he could only find her, he vaguely stated that there was "maybe" someone watching the academy...... So, it's just his suspicion, and it's not a lie, is it?!

Shanniang looked at him and opened her mouth again. She never thought that she would be such a person in his mind...... Acting prudently but boldly?

She just opened her mouth in surprise, and Yuan Changqing once again rushed to answer the question in her heart, "Yes, and I think it's good for you to be like this, whatever you think in your heart, you can say whatever you want......

"Boom!"

Suddenly, Shan Niang knocked on the table with her knuckles with her backhand, "Then you know what I'm thinking right now?!" ”

Yuan Changqing was stunned, "What? ”

"You're annoying and annoying!" Shanniang said irritably, "Do you know that you are very rude like this?!" If you guess what someone else is trying to say, at least you should let someone else finish talking! And, how do you know that what I'm going to ask you is the question you thought it was?! ”

Yuan Changqing blinked silently. Shanniang didn't know what was wrong with him, but he himself knew it better, and only when he lacked confidence in himself would he grab other people's words like this.

And, when facing Shanniang, he can always touch her mind, but why is there always a feeling that he can't catch her?!

"So, did I answer incorrectly?" He said stiffly.

Shanniang was stunned, and suddenly knocked the table harder, but she accidentally used too much force for a while, and directly knocked herself. She hurriedly withdrew her hand, rubbed her knuckles and said, "The annoying thing is that you answered correctly!" Do you know you're really annoying like this?! It's as if you can guess what someone else thinks! No one wants others to always guess what they think, you won't have friends like that! ”

Yuan Changqing was silent suddenly, and his eyes fell on Shanniang's hand.

Like her people, Shanniang's hands are also thin and small, and she doesn't look like a few taels of meat. It probably hurts to knock on a table like this......

At this time, Yuan Changqing's little servant Yan Feng came over with a tea tray. And Wufu, who was ordered by Shanniang to make tea, pouted unhappily and followed behind Yan Feng with a dissatisfied face. When the two of them walked into the pavilion, Yan Feng had just put down the tea tray, and Wufu suddenly rushed up from behind, grabbed a cup of tea from the tea tray in front of him and handed it to Shan Niang's hand, and glared at Yan Feng as if demonstrating. Yan Feng didn't even sweep her eyes, only silently picked up another tea bowl and put it in Yuan Changqing's hand, then picked up the tea tray, saluted respectfully to Shanniang and Yuan Changqing, and was about to retreat, when she looked up, she suddenly saw Wufu standing behind her master very blindly, Yan Feng frowned, apologized to Shanniang, suddenly reached out and grabbed Wufu's collar, and dragged her out of the pavilion so unceremoniously.

Outside the pavilion, there was a small scream of Wufu, and the sound of the two arguing with their voices suppressed.

Looking at the backs of the two of them, Shanniang couldn't help but sigh. She has changed, Yuan Changqing has changed, but Wufu and Yanfeng don't seem to have changed. If the two of them can still see the right eye in this life, it will be a good conversation......

"You're right." Suddenly, Yuan Changqing's voice sounded in her ears.

The cold voice suddenly brought Shanniang back to her senses. I saw Yuan Changqing lowering his eyes and fiddling with the tea leaves in the bowl with the lid of the bowl of tea, and said with a flat face: "No wonder I don't have any friends, probably because of this." ”

Dealing with someone who is very smart and quick-witted can be quite stressful. The slightest carelessness can make people feel that they are worthless, that they are stupid and stupid...... In her previous life, Shanniang had learned this kind of taste.

Shan Niang blinked silently - as far as she felt in her heart, she was really not that close to Yuan Changqing, but this was the second time he confided in her......

Is this a shallow statement?

When she was secretly thinking to herself, Yuan Changqing suddenly raised her eyes, looked at her and solemnly promised: "I'll pay attention next time, try not to guess your thoughts." ”

Shanniang also looked up at him, and then suddenly elbowed to the carved chess table, and propped her chin to look into his eyes.

Under the sun, Yuan Changqing's dark brown pupils looked like a glass-like texture, and when he stared at it like this, it would even make people feel a subtle sense of dizziness......

Suddenly, a row of thick eyelashes drooped, covering the deep color of his eyes, as if he were embarrassed by her.

"You," Yuan Changqing cleared his throat, "What are you looking at?" ”

It wasn't until the last word that he raised his eyelashes again, but instead of looking into her eyes as bluntly as before, he stared at the bridge of her nose in the middle of her eyes.

Shanniang was stared at by him, and there was a tingle in the middle of the bridge of her nose, so she reached out and scratched it.

Her nails were not as long as they were fashionable for girls today, they were short, and they were trimmed like a small shovel. The slightly upturned fingertips are pink and tender, and they seem to be very soft to look at, and people can't help but want to reach out and touch them......

"I just want to see if I can see what you're thinking in your eyes too." Shanniang said.

Yuan Changqing was startled, and the roots of his ears suddenly turned red. He flashed his eyes quickly, and while pretending to be calm, he brushed the tea leaves with the lid of the bowl, and said, "What do you see?" ”

"See."

"What?" The lid of the bowl in his hand paused slightly.

"Look, you don't like to be seen through your mind either!" Shanniang pointed her hand at him triumphantly, then withdrew her elbow and triumphantly picked up the teacup.

Yuan Changqing was stunned for a moment, and he was busy drinking tea and covering his face with his wrists. The reason why his cheeks are hot at this moment must be because of the hot tea on his face......

So, for a while, the two of them drank tea and fell silent.

It wasn't until Sanhe found the chess pieces that Shanniang found out that she and Yuan Changqing had been sitting silently for a quarter of an hour. This kind of silence didn't make her feel awkward at all, as if time passed inadvertently like a cloud in the sky.

She raised her eyes to look at Yuan Changqing, but she happened to collide with the eyes he had secretly looked at.

"That," Yuan Changqing put down the teacup, cleared his throat again, and made a "please" gesture to her, "You go first." ”

Shanniang didn't politely push him, so she pinched a chess piece and put it on the carved chess table.

The two walked silently for a while, and Yuan Changqing suddenly raised his eyes to look at her and said, "What are you thinking?" ”

Shanniang frowned, "Guessing what I'm thinking again?!" ”

Yuan Changqing shook his head and replied quite seriously: "I said, I hope we can become friends." Since you don't want me to guess what you think, I won't guess. It's just that because your move is very different from your style, I think you are probably a little absent-minded, so I am just curious. ”

Shanniang looked at him, suddenly rolled the chess pieces she was playing with between her fingers into her palm, leaned her head over, and asked in a low voice, "Are you sure you are really not in danger?!" It's all already hurting. By the way, where are you hurt? Is it strict? ”

Yuan Changqing also leaned his head over and whispered: "It's really not strict, it's just that I'm a little slower and I've been scratched a little bit of flesh." Over here. He quietly gestured to his ribs, and said: "Don't worry, I won't be in danger, the reason why I'm still here is just that I want to help others set up a puzzle, and after this time, I can go back to Beijing." ”

"Back to Beijing?" Shanniang was surprised.

"Yes." Yuan Changqing said, "It just so happens that my uncle is on his fiftieth birthday, and he also needs me to go back to Beijing." He added, "I'll probably come back after the Dragon Boat Festival." ”

This is the same as the previous life. It's just that......

"And what about your marriage?"

As soon as the words came out, Shanniang regretted it. It's none of her business, but she's got a lot of trouble......

Seeing her bite her lip violently, Yuan Changqing's heart jumped, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind......

And, before that thought could form a sentence, Shanniang was already waving her hand again and again, "When I didn't ask, this matter has nothing to do with me!" ”

- yes, that's what they've agreed to a long time ago.

Can...... Why did he have a sudden loss?!
