I hurried back to the empty building, wanting to finish my tasks as soon as possible, so that I could go back and explain to Qiu Qinying in advance. Looking at Qiu Qinying's various performances before, she should have been forced to be helpless, as long as she made it clear, everything would be easy.

Before Qishuo could ask anything, I pushed him away and sat down at my table, looking at the information about Jingshan and the turmoil there.

Looking at me looking at a piece of paper back and forth looking for important information, Qishuo couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, he kept staring at me, swinging his head with my movements. I saw it all, but I didn't have the spirit to say anything to him. I have to know everything in order to prepare for the Joyama that I'm about to go to. But I was afraid that there would be some urgent meeting in the evening, so I was completely sure that I could end it early.

"Is something wrong? The general has never been so nervous about dealing with business before. ”

"Shhhhh I didn't even look at him, and replied indiscriminately.

"Oh, then I'll sit on the side, so I don't have to bother. ”

I don't know what Nanasho did then, and I couldn't hear the sound of Nanashuo at all. Midnight guessed well at the beginning, I just can't forget it, so for me, these things are only the time to be recorded, not the question of whether they are complete.

In just half an afternoon, I finished dealing with these things, which should have annotations and marks, and there were no mistakes at all, exactly what I usually do. After Qishuo helped me finish sorting out these things, I stretched my waist, lay back, closed my eyes, and rested for a while.

For me, such a highly concentrated work is fatal, but in this regard, it is not a bad thing to work like this in the future, at least to improve my own efficiency. Sure enough, I still can't be distracted by other things while I'm working.

"It's too inactive to rest so soon, isn't it?"

I sat up and opened my eyes at the same time. It was midnight in front of me, and the first thing I recognized her was not her appearance, but her black clothes and black hair.

"Halfway through, I'm resting, but I've done it all, even memorizing everything I don't need to know. It's midnight that you, don't work, what are you doing here?"

Midnight didn't answer my question directly, and said, "I didn't expect you to learn from the realm master. ”

"Learn what?" I was stunned, I didn't want to be like him.

"I've learned to say half of that right, but as far as you don't like to learn other people's manners, the last person you saw just now should be the Realm Lord, right? People have an instinct to imitate. ”

I smiled and said, "This time you are all wrong, and the last person I saw was Qishuo." ”

Because of the sudden mention, Qishuo, who was sitting slightly hunched, suddenly straightened up, as if someone was poking his back. He looked at us in alarm, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. Then, seeing the right moment, he slipped out.

"Actually, there are times when you say something like that in the middle of the night, maybe you don't remember. I added.

Midnight glared at me, and then said, "I've already finished reading these things, you should want to go home early, right? ”

"I thought about it a long time ago, so I was prepared. But then again, we don't like to work at night here, do we?"

"I know, so we're at Jun Youxiao's house this time, just the three of us as generals to discuss the crackdown that is about to begin. ”

"What, Jun Youxiao, why him?"

I directly ignored the suppression, and the thing that came out of the mouth of midnight was that the name of Jun Youxiao was more shocking to me.

Midnight didn't think about it, and said directly: "Yes, it was originally to better discuss the matter of Jingshan, and then Jun Youxiao invited me to his house as a guest." However, if I think about it carefully, since it is the three of us, I can't leave you behind. ”

I took a sip of water, gathered my thoughts, and said, "So I just added it halfway?"

"That's not it, Jun Youxiao was hesitant, but he felt that what I said was reasonable, so he added you. ”

"Then if you don't say it, Jun Youxiao doesn't plan to call me, you are alone in a mansion, is it possible that you will finally invite you to spend the night?"

Midnight looked up and thought about it, and said, "That's not going to happen, there was no such situation before, and in the end, Jun Youxiao sent me back to me." ”

I rubbed my forehead and shook my head slowly. Midnight should have understood the meaning of what I just said, and also knew my mood at this time. So, midnight put on an impatient look, disrupting my thinking.

"You think about it too much, Jun Youxiao is not such a person. ”

"Midnight. ”

"What?"

I looked at her and said, "Why don't you discuss it with me tonight?" And Lord Qiu is still there, just me, how bad it is. ”

"This is to discuss with Jun Youxiao, a sudden visit is not a good thing after all. Besides, you yourself said that you don't take Lord Qiu in your eyes, so what's the difference between her and her absence. ”

"Then you're just asking me to take her in my eyes?"

Midnight suddenly paused, stopped answering, opened and closed his mouth, and never remembered what he was going to say last.

I had to say it badly, so I let Midnight agree, as for Jun Youxiao, Midnight said that as long as he said it, he would definitely agree.

I returned to the General's Mansion alone, and saw Lao Hong go out to greet me from a distance, which was a little worse than my usual time to go home, and Lao Hong should have greeted me a long time ago. Seeing this, I actually felt that I didn't think it was good for him to think like that before, so old, still waiting for me here, the summer was so hot, this was more or less a test for him.

"Don't wait for me so early in the future, it's hot, don't bother. ”

"Where does the general say, it is the old slave who greets the general, and the general is not early. ”

I walked inside and said, "Yes, I came early to instruct that there are guests coming tonight, let the kitchen make more good ones, and don't be lazy." ”

Lao Hong showed an embarrassed look on his face, and waited for a long time and said, "Then Lord Qiu?"

I waved my hand casually and said nonchalantly, "It's okay, she can be with us if she wants, just let someone bring the food to her room if she doesn't want to." ”

"Does it have to be like this? Lord Qiu is a distinguished guest, and it is not good for us to be so lazy. But since the general gave the order, the old slave couldn't say anything, the old slave just said what he thought. ”

I thought about it carefully, this is indeed the case, such a move is somewhat powerless for Qiu Qinying. Not only would this not achieve the desired effect, but it would make my plan fail completely. Qiu Qinying finally left a small matter, and it was not good to anger Prince Qiu.

"That's right, then let's invite Lord Qiu to come along. Forget it, I'm going to ask her what she means. The last sentence was completely said in Lao Hong's eyes, and they also knew the pros and cons of this matter.

Qiu Qinying deserves the title of everyone's lady, I just said this, and she agreed, so that I didn't finish the words I had prepared before. But that's the best, and she's doing it just in time for us to have a peaceful dinner tonight. I went back to the house and asked Shiijaku to help me change the clothes I usually wore when I was at home.

It was always dark late because it was summer, but they didn't come at midnight when it was about to get dark, so I had to send someone to pay for it. The man didn't go far before he turned back and ran towards me from afar.

"General, it's here. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, I saw two people walking in the distance, just looking at the lake blue and black black, I knew that these two were Jun Youxiao and Midnight. When I got closer, sure enough, none of them brought their attendants, and Mingxue was not by Midnight's side. The two of them walked side by side and were particularly intimate, especially when Jun Youxiao asked about midnight, I only felt that I was unhappy in my heart.

"I didn't expect General Yan's mansion to be very magnificent, but this scale doesn't match General Yan's temperament. ”

"Latecomers aren't qualified to comment on anything, right?"

Jun Youxiao leaned into my ear and said, "No, Yanchenchi, you're angry, I just said that the house is too old-fashioned, where do you want to go." ”

I looked at Midnight and asked, "How did you come with Jun Youxiao?"

"When I went to tell him, I stayed with him and talked about things until now. So we're all in this together. ”

Without waiting for me to invite Jun Youxiao, she went in by herself, looked left and right, and praised and commented from time to time. Seeing Jun Youxiao like this at midnight, he smiled awkwardly at me, as if asking me not to care. I know, Jun Youxiao has always been such a casual character, he has never taken those rules of dealing with people in his eyes, but this kind of behavior shows that he has listed me in the list of trustworthy people.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, I shook the hand of the night for a moment, with a slight movement. I was prepared for midnight displeasure, but she squeezed a few of my fingers in turn, also with subtle movements. No one saw the small movements of our hands.

"Xiao, don't be too rude. "Midnight stepped forward to pull Jun Youxiao back.

"When have you ever seen me polite?"

I led them to the dining place, and for them, it was superfluous to say polite words and politeness. After we were seated, Qiu Qin Ying came. Because I've talked to them before, they don't show much of it, especially in the middle of the night.

Qiu Qinying's appearance of sitting and dining are all incomprehensible to us, and even Jun Youxiao, who has always been casual, began to dine with a look. But midnight didn't change, and she still ate as she used to. However, in my opinion, Midnight's original dining appearance is much more free and easy than Qiu Qinying's, and it is not a woman's style.

"Don't you say something?" Jun Youxiao asked.

I swallowed the dregs in my mouth and asked, "Say what?"

"Say something that you should say as a host, like a toast or something. ”

I swept my hand over the table and said, "We don't have any drinks here." Besides, we're just having a meal, not so much about it, and there's no outsiders. ”

The midnight that had been concentrating on eating suddenly stopped, she looked at me, and then at Qiu Qinying, she had something in her heart but didn't say it, and the last person was eating sullenly.

However, Jun Youxiao saw the changes in Midnight, and kept looking for an opportunity to say something to Midnight, wanting to relieve the depression of Midnight. I have seen all this, and of course I have to do something for Midnight, especially in front of Jun Youxiao.

I gave a dish farther away from Midnight with chopsticks and said, "You try it, you haven't clipped, you haven't clipped, it's actually delicious, you try it." ”

"Why not mine?" Jun Youxiao asked.

"You have long arms, eat yourself. ”

I fooled Jun Youxiao, and in turn took care of Midnight, Midnight didn't have much mood swings, and concentrated on eating the food I gave her. I smiled in response to the various expressions of midnight, and unintentionally glanced at Qiu Qinying.

At this time, Qiu Qinying was looking at me, and seeing that I had already discovered her, she hurriedly lowered her head and fiddled with the rice in front of her with chopsticks.

Jun Youxiao seems to take care of Midnight in every way, and when I was watching Qiu Qinying, I sandwiched a lot of meals for Midnight. But Jun Youxiao did much more than this for Midnight, he also kept talking to Midnight to break the deadlock of Midnight's silence. Naturally, I won't be left behind.

"Can you eat well, I can't eat like this. Midnight suddenly spoke.

Jun Youxiao and I both put down the chopsticks in our hands and didn't dare to speak until midnight when we started to eat the food in our bowls. Jun Youxiao and I also tried to eat, but the atmosphere at the table was a little wrong at this time.

I was picking up my own food, but my eyes were always on Midnight's body. I looked at the way Midnight was eating at this time, she should have been discouraged, I wanted to add some meat to Midnight who had been eating white rice, but I was bitter that Midnight didn't do anything just now. So, I had to stare at her with my spare eyes to ease my guilt.

I thought that no one would know about all this, but I didn't want Qiu Qinying to see everything I did.

Because of the embarrassment at the dinner table, our next discussion was also on the top of the pure mountain, and no one dared to open the topic. Because we were fully focused on the discussion, our goal was also achieved, and the discussion was quickly concluded. Next week, we will go to Jingshan to solve the turmoil, and then the three of us will be in charge of the overall situation.

I wanted to send Midnight back, but Jun Youxiao also scrambled to go, looking at Midnight's eyes, she probably didn't want me to behave like anything else. However, just in the middle of the night, Jun Youxiao at this time doesn't pose any threat to me, maybe this is what I think nonsense.

Seeing them off at the door, I paced alone to my room in the backyard. As soon as I arrived in the garden, I met Qiu Qinying waiting at the door.

"I'm really sorry, I made Lord Qiu laugh today, we weren't like this. ”

Qiu Qinying smiled shyly and said, "Just call me Qinying." ”

"Eun Young. ”

Qiu Qinying replied, and then said: "It's okay, I like this, I haven't seen such a lively scene since I was a child, it's really nice to have someone to accompany you." ”

I didn't know what she was trying to say, so I was ready to finish the bunch and go back to bed.

She must have seen my thoughts, and hurriedly called me: "Brother Chi." ”

"What?"

"Actually, I lied before. I don't really care about the army at all, I don't even know much about the army, but my father asked me to say this so so that I can get along better with Brother Chi. ”

"I know that. ”

"You know?"

"Hmm. From the very beginning of your visit, you have not put so much effort into understanding the military, or even just perfunctory. Also, you were pretended to be lively at the beginning, and I haven't seen you like that since. ”

Qiu Qinying lowered her head and whispered, "Really, then I must be very sad for Brother Chi like this, and I never thought that I would be so deceitful." It's just that I didn't think about it this way before I came, but my father kept teaching me this way. After I came, I suddenly changed my disgust, and I was really looking forward to the days when I was able to get along with Brother Chi. ”

I scratched my head, feeling as if I had hurt her by exposing her.

"No, I don't think anything, and you're not sincere anyway. Whoever hasn't lied is nothing to anyone else. Don't take it to heart and go to sleep. ”

I was just about to go back to the house, but I was stopped by Qiu Qinying, her eyes were very firm, like the scorching sun, this time she should have made up her mind.

"Brother Chi likes Sister Midnight, right?"

"What?"

"Brother Chi's appearance to Sister Midnight in the empty building before, tonight is the same. I didn't understand it before, but after so long, I understood that Brother Chi must like Sister Midnight. ”

"It's hard to say, so you don't have to worry about it. You don't know anything, you guess. ”

Qiu Qinying fixed her eyes and said, "No, I really didn't know before, but then I realized it, and there is a reason." ”

I swallowed, my Adam's apple went up and down, and I stared at Qiu Qinying in front of me, I had never seen her look like before. However, I did see the look in her eyes, and the way she looked at me in the middle of the night in the deep forest that day, I will never forget it.

"What's the reason?" I asked.

I waited for Qiu Qinying's answer, even though I knew that I would be able to accept the next answer, but whatever it was, I still knew it in person. If I miss it, it's all over, and that's what I'm only now realizing, because I know how much I'm missing, and I can't miss anything more. If you want Qiu Qinying to finish what she thinks in her heart, holding it back will only hurt her.

"I thought that now I feel the same way as Brother Chi. ”

"The same?" I froze, unable to understand what she was saying.

"Yes, I have always been, I like Brother Chi. ”
