Ning Shu was speechless, so she could only choose to ignore it.

The carriage swayed and stopped in one of the most luxurious inns in Yuzhou.

After Ning Shu and Xie Yunshen had a simple dinner in the room, Xie Yunshen asked Ning Shu to change into light clothes.

Ning Shu was puzzled: "Are you going out?" ”

"Hmm." Xie Yunyan also changed into a dark riding uniform and urged Ning Shu: "Hurry, you have to rush back before the end of the day." ”

Ning Shu didn't know why she found a light cyan dress to change into, "Where are you going?" ”

Xie Yunyan opened the door a small crack, lowered his voice and said to Xuan Feng, who was guarding the door, "Guard, don't let anyone in." ”

Xuan Feng coughed lightly and signaled that he had heard his master's order.

Then Xie Yunyan pulled Ning Shu and walked to the window on the other side, and when Ning Shu was in the fog, he picked up Ning Shu horizontally, flew out of the window and jumped to the roof in the dark.

Ning Shu: ......

That thrilling feeling of weightlessness is back.

But now she has experience.

One hand wrapped around his waist, the other tightly hooked his neck, and even if he let go, she wouldn't fall.

Under the starry sky, the corners of Xie Yunyan's lips were slightly raised, and his hands tightened unconsciously.

After a while, there were fewer and fewer pavilions in the city, and the sight was getting darker and darker.

Xie Yunyan finally stopped and put Ning Shu down.

Ning Shu slowly opened her eyes and looked around.

"It's—"

The place where she was now was clearly a mountainside.

There is a small waterfall in front of me, and it is flowing continuously.

Ning Shu could smell the sweet fragrance of spring water when she stood beside the waterfall.

Xie Yunyan bent down and grabbed her jade feet, "Come, it's hot, let Madame feel the characteristics of Yuzhou." ”

This waterfall is a famous scenery in the dryland of Yuzhou.

Xie Yunyan took off her embroidered shoes for her, pulled her to sit on the stone by the pool, and dripped her feet into the water.

Under the shadow of the moon, a man and a woman, like an innocent young boy and girl, happily playing in the water.

The corners of Ning Shu's lips also unconsciously filled with a smile.

"Are you comfortable?" Xie Yunyan turned his head and asked her.

Ning Shu nodded.

The splashes on the water surface that kept stirring up shallow ripples, the moon shadow in the ripples swayed slightly, and Xie Yun's dark figure could be vaguely seen.

"The water is cool and I like it."

On hot summer nights, the water flowing from the natural waterfall is refreshing and pleasant.

Since Xie Yunyan left in Kyoto, tonight is the most comfortable moment for Ning Shu.

Xie Yunyan's peach blossom eyes were shining, reflecting her delicate appearance.

"Are you quiet, then?"

"Hmm." Ning Shu nodded.

Xie Yunyan smiled: "Then have you figured it out?" Why did you come to me? ”

Ning Shu's face froze pleasantly, and she turned her head to face him.

"What?"

The two of them sat shoulder to shoulder, Ning Shu turned her head slightly, and the distance between the two was even more audible.

Xie Yunyan's bright eyes suddenly flashed with a thick tenderness, he stared at her cherry red lips, felt a dry mouth, and couldn't help swallowing.

Ning Shu raised her eyes to meet him, but directly in front of her eyes was his Adam's apple, the size of a dragon's eye, which rolled under her eyelids, making her inexplicably feel a little ashamed.

Xie Yunyan's breath slapped on her face again, and her voice changed from the freshness of Fang Cai to a slight hoarseness.

"What the hell are you coming to me for? Or rather, what exactly are you marrying me for? ”

"I-" Ning Shu wanted to say that it was a trick to escape the power of the four princes, but after thinking about it, it was not necessary for Xie Yunyan.

It's a big deal, she stays in the boudoir and stays at home.

Slowly lowering her eyelashes, Ning Shu's red lips pursed, carefully considering Xie Yunyan's words.

I don't know how tempting that look is.

"Hmm!"

Her words were blocked by Xie Yunyan in an instant.

Under the water in the mountains, the moon shadow is swaying, and the two of them are so affectionately hugging by the pool-

After a long time, Ning Shu felt that it was difficult to breathe, and pushed Xie Yunyan hard.

Xie Yunyan left her unsatisfied, his thumb wiped the corner of his lips, and his peach blossom eyes smiled gently as always.

"Since I haven't thought about it yet, I'll wait a few more days. Now there is something more important, I have a gift for you. ”

As if thinking of something, Xie Yunyan reached into his arms and took out something the size of a palm.

The thing was wrapped tightly in a silk handkerchief, and Ning Shu couldn't guess the contents.

"What gift?"

Ning Shu naturally took his gift and opened it carefully.

Xie Yunyan stuck to her ear and smiled slightly: "I wasn't by your side for the Tangram Festival a few days ago, this is naturally a gift for the Tangram Festival." ”

As he spoke, Ning Shu had already completely opened the layers of wrapped gifts.

Inside lies a peach hairpin carved with hibiscus flowers.

After just one glance, Ning Shu recognized this hairpin.

Her eyes were fixed on Xie Yunyan's smiling face, "This is the hairpin I saw in the town that day?" ”

Xie Yunyan nodded.

From the time Ning Shu got off the bus in the town, Xie Yunyan followed her and Yuan Wu.

I saw Yuan Wu disobey his orders and leave Ning Shu to eat wontons, and I also saw Ning Shu playing with the hairpin.

Ning Shu's heart trembled, "In other words, you saw everything that happened that day from beginning to end?" ”

Xie Yunyan smiled silently.

He took the hairpin from her hand and raised it to her sideburns.

"Yes."

Ning Shu let him caress his head, and muttered a little depressedly, "Then is there anything you want to ask?" ”

After putting on the peach wood hairpin, Xie Yunyan held her shoulders with both hands, twisted her body right, and faced him face to face.

"Nope. When you want to say it, you will naturally say it, and when you don't want to say it, no one will force you. ”

Ning Shu had to admit that Xie Yunyan's words made her heart jump wildly.

He must have doubts about her.

But he didn't ask, just waited for her to speak.

Is it trust, or is it a casual indifference?

Ning Shu's lips opened slightly, "Actually, I-"

"It's not too early, we should go back." Xie Yunyan interrupted her, reached out and fished out her feet from the water, held them in his arms and carefully wiped them with the hem of his skirt.

Ning Shu lowered her head suddenly, feeling that the peach wood hairpin on her head was much heavier at this moment.

There was no word all the way, Xie Yunyan still had a faint smile, but Ning Shu fell into a burst of self-contradiction.

Should I tell him the truth about Vientiane Gu?

And how to answer why he himself came to him?

"Sir." Xuan Feng heard the subtle movement in the room, knocked lightly outside the door, and then pulled back Ning Shu's thoughts of traveling far away.

"What?" Xie Yunyan asked.

Xuan Feng: "Someone from the palace is here, and I asked His Royal Highness to invite the lord to go to the mansion tomorrow." ”
