His head was in the socket of my neck, and his breath tickled my heart. I pondered for a moment, and finally said tentatively, "I'll go to you after the candle is over, okay?" ”

Chu Zhilan's breath stagnated, and I thought to myself: It's over, I knew I wouldn't be in such a hurry!

He was still holding me, but his strength was much greater: "What do you mean to find me?" ”

I pondered for a long time, and finally confessed: "Bai Tingyu wants to control Qi Yucheng and him to deal with King Li, I know you don't want to get involved in this troubled water, but I don't have a choice." It's not that I don't have a choice, I also want to try to pay this in exchange for Qi Yun's An Jian and my sister's freedom, so when Bai Tingyu succeeds and he and Qi Yucheng can't use me, they will naturally let me go, and I will go to you. ”

Chu Zhilan didn't speak for a long time, I couldn't figure out what kind of attitude he was now, not to mention, my white neck was now under his nose, and I was indeed a little afraid.

"Qingyi, why do you think they will give you what they want after using you?" Chu Zhilan's warm breath kept falling on the back of my neck, but I felt a chill. He wrapped his hand around my back and stroked it from top to bottom, as if comforting. "You're not stupid, you know you're just gambling, don't forget, you still have Wu Mingzhi's poison on you."

What he said is not wrong at all, Bai Tingyu and Qi Yucheng can use me with the lives of Qi Yun and her daughter, but I don't have anything in my hands that can make them jealous, if they use me and throw me into a mass grave like waste, it is not impossible.

"I'll teach you, you take me, if they don't keep their promises after the deed is done......" Chu Zhilan sneered: "I will make them worse than dead." ”

I frowned, "How can you threaten them?" If you could, we could force them to release Qi Yun now. What's more, don't you care about Chu Yun's safety? Didn't you tell me a few days ago that Chu Yun was resolute not to participate in the affairs of the Yunjiang Dynasty? She is your Master's only daughter. ”

"Then can you give up Qi Yun and your sister and leave with me?"

I paused.

"You can't. So, take me, I'm ready. "A tingling sensation spread around the neck, and at the same time, there was a warm, moist touch." I said I would accompany you. If you live, I will live with you, and if you die, I will accompany you to walk on the bridge. ”

I've heard him say that many times, but this time it has kept me at peace for a long time.

"Lan, shall we ask you a question?"

"Huh?"

"Just because you saved me up and down Bailing, you love me so much that you are willing to give your life? Why? "I was really puzzled, because if it were me, to be honest, I wouldn't be able to do it.

"It's just because I'm tired of living alone." He said it lightly, like saying it on a daily basis, "It's just that something doesn't get along with your mind." "It's just that it's his own life that doesn't agree with him.

Trembling at his indifferent attitude, I broke free from his arms and slapped him unceremoniously in the face with two slaps, pinching his cheeks hard. The rumored "dead ghost" in the rivers and lakes was "ravaged" by me to the point of pouting, which is particularly funny.

I shook his head vigorously: "How long have you lived to get tired of being alive?" Have you eaten all the food in the world? Have you traveled to all the sights of the world? Have you ever climbed the highest mountain in the world? Have you ever climbed the tallest pavilion in the world? Have you ever seen the most beautiful woman in the world? ”

Chu Zhilan, who was pouting, could only mumble, "Except for the last one, there is nothing else." ”

I didn't even realize for a moment that he was talking about love, and frowned and asked, "Who?" ”

"What you see in your eyes, what you think in your heart."

I was teased suddenly, and I was speechless for a while.

After a while, I decided to persuade him one last time: "I must stay in Huaizhu, if you accompany me, I will naturally be happy, after all, I will not have many things, but I don't want to use myself to force you." ”

Chu Zhilan still didn't hesitate: "Don't force it." ”

Hearing his insistence, my uneasiness quickly disappeared, in fact, I didn't want him to leave me. Because I, like him, have experienced too much separation, maybe it is right to adapt to loneliness, but in the end we still choose to escape loneliness.

I hugged him like I had done every night in the hospital: "You've treated me so well." ”

He patted me on the back and said in a helpless tone: "Where the heart desires, the body can't help itself." ”

"It's better to say than to sing." I shrunk into his arms and muttered, my heart was actually happy. With Chu Zhilan here, it is like divine help, although I don't know what role he can play in these things, but I am white, Bai Tingyu, who has always wanted to get rid of me, is now changing his way to leave me behind, and the reason behind it is inseparable from Chu Zhilan. I had something I had to do, but I still wanted him to stay because he wanted to.

"Qingyi, have you forgotten something?" Chu Zhilan suddenly spoke. That's when I remembered that he didn't bring the child!

Chu Zhilan couldn't help but smile: "You really forgot about her, I handed over the child to someone I can trust to take care of on my behalf, he is very suitable for taking care of the child, don't worry." As he spoke, he took out a makeup box from his arms, and when he opened it, there was white powder inside, accompanied by a strange fragrance. This is the medicine he gave to relieve the nightmare symptoms of your poisoning. ”

I smelled it, it was like a woman's incense powder, but I had never smelled it. "Didn't you say that there is no cure for the poison in me?" I asked.

"Not yet," he replied, "this is not an antidote, but it can delay the symptoms." ”

I was skeptical of what he said "not for the time being", and I always felt that he was a little pretending to be relaxed, and I pretended not to hear: "Then use it, and the water suit?" ”

"Neither, it's incense."

I watched him burn incense in the censer beside his bed, the smoke wafting by, and the familiar sense of powerlessness and fear came over me. At the last moment of falling, I grabbed Chu Zhilan's sleeve with all my might, like clinging to the vines on the mountain before falling off a cliff. Chu Zhilan took me in his arms and gently comforted: "Don't be afraid, it's over soon." ”

Although my body was completely unable to move, there was still a little remnant of my consciousness, and Chu Zhilan's appeasement did not play a big role, because this sense of fear had no source, and even I didn't know what I was afraid of at the moment. With another flick of my fingers, I was able to move my body, and I immediately got up and hugged Chu Zhilan tightly, using my hands and feet together, hugging tightly.

"It's fucking horrible!" I complained, "If using this thing is just to slow down the symptoms, I'd rather have nightmares every night!" ”

Chu Zhilan supported me with one hand, rubbed the other hand in my hair, and soon, I was pressed comfortably...... I have to say that it's really comfortable for others to help scratch their heads.

He stopped, I looked at him suspiciously, and he reluctantly changed his hand and began to scratch again.

I hummed in his arms, in fact, the uncomfortable feeling has passed, in fact, I am humming comfortably. But I still pretended to be sad and muttered, "If I used this medicine every night before going to bed......"

Chu Zhilan understood: "I'll press you every night, okay?" I was overjoyed and hugged his neck tighter: "The person who gave the medicine is the one who came to the door yesterday?" No wonder I slept well last night, it wasn't ecstasy. Chu Zhilan didn't reply to me, but I heard him chuckle with disdain, and I didn't know whether to laugh at me or someone else.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Qin Zhun ran in recklessly: "Morning and dusk, Bai Tingyu sent someone...... Here it comes. ”

I was about to fall asleep comfortably, and I slowly raised my head, but I was pressed back by Chu Zhilan with one hand, "Don't move, rub it again." ”

Maybe in Qin Zhun's eyes, Chu Zhilan and I are not disturbed by the outside world, but only I know how hard Chu Zhilan worked just now, and I almost nodded my head.

With tears in my eyes, I asked as calmly as I could, "Who did he send?" ”

"One, some slaves and maids, do you want them to clean up the courtyard?" He asked tentatively.

The force on his head was a little stronger. "No need, let them clean the house in the side courtyard and rest, I don't want anyone to serve me."

"Then I'm ......"

I apologized: "You...... Alas, then you should be wronged and sleep in a partial hospital. Then he added: "You don't have to come to me if you have nothing to do, no matter who it is." ”

"Okay."

The door slowly closed, and I exhaled deeply. The hand on my head stopped, and I glanced at Chu Zhilan again dissatisfiedly: "I was going to break your neck just now, so let's do it, I don't blame you, you kept scratching my head today until I fell asleep." After saying that, I unceremoniously lay down, took his hand and touched my own head: "Keep going." ”

He said shallowly: "Beautiful you." ”

"Oh, what the heart wants, the body can't help itself." I had the courage to tease.

He seemed to be really angry, and he approached and kissed him without warning, without the usual gentleness, and the possessiveness was revealed in his eyes. But I wasn't scared, I wasn't afraid that he wouldn't do it, that he wouldn't be able to do it all at once. I think I've experienced it too.

"If you have the ability, you can continue!"

He smiled slyly: "You'd better remember your own words, and don't hide next time." ”

Next time? Who knows when your next time this will be.

I had no dreams all night, and Chu Zhilan was still by my side after waking up. I've never seen his sleeping face in the daylight. Before, I thought that he was a person who would not sleep deeply, after all, people with heavy thoughts sleep very lightly, not to mention that according to what he said, there are many enemies who want to take his life. But then, during the nights when he slept with me, I often woke up from nightmares, and he slept peacefully beside me. Only a few times, when I scream in a dream, will he wake up and pick me up spontaneously. It's just that he wakes up quite early, and whenever I wake up and go back to sleep, I sleep until the sun shines, and he's gone.

I secretly thought that his sleep would not be so peaceful, but the fact is that his deep sleep has brought me infinite peace of mind, and will make me wake up and feel that everything terrible in my dream is fake, and the reality is that the years are quiet.

I stared at the non-negligible scar on the side of his face, and my hand unconsciously stroked it. The scar is a little hard to the touch, and it doesn't match the softness of the skin.

Chu Zhilan finally moved her eyelids, and opened a slit in her eyes sleepily...... I subconsciously retracted my hand, and then I thought: Why should I dodge? It's not that you can't touch it, of course my man can touch it casually. So I touched it back again.

He squinted his eyes and smiled, his long hair running across the back of my hand, making my heart skip a beat.

"How does it feel to the touch?" Perhaps because he had just woken up, his voice was a little hoarse.

"Hard." I looked at it and said, "It really looks like a willow leaf." ”

He pressed him over, and I didn't push him away, probably because his expression still looked as dazed as when he first woke up, so I didn't think much of it. He propped one hand on my side, touched my hair with the other, and said a little impatiently: "Qingyi? Can you get them to stop arguing outside? ”

I was stunned: "What did you say?" ”

"Can't you hear me? The people outside are noisy. ”

At this time, my attention was taken away from Chu Zhilan, it turned out that there was a sound of sprinkling and sweeping outside the door, it should be the slave maid sent by Bai Tingyu yesterday cleaning up the courtyard.

"It's rare to be able to sleep in, they're too noisy, let them go."

If I hadn't been able to clearly see Chu Zhilan's calm expression, I would have thought that this person was being coquettish on me.

"Qin Zhun!" I shouted loudly, and Chu Zhilan was still lying on top of me, as if she had no intention of moving.

"Qin Zhun! Are you absent? Let those people outside stop sweeping, aunt and grandma I want to sleep! ”

Soon, there was no sound in the courtyard at all, Chu Zhilan still didn't move, and her lowered eyes seemed to be able to look into my heart.

I was a little embarrassed by the staring, coughed lightly, and said in a slow voice: "They've all stopped, if you're sleepy, go back to sleep." And then he literally fell asleep in my neck socket.

It stands to reason that at this time, shouldn't it be a concubine and need to be warm to each other? It's too much of a waste of time to just sleep like this!

The person on the side of his neck suddenly breathed heavily: "Qingyi, don't scold me in your heart." If it weren't for the medicine you used yesterday, I wouldn't be like this today. ”

I was still stiff-mouthed when my inner thoughts were revealed: "Since I am using medicine, don't you just stay by my side." "The people on my body didn't respond to me, and I remembered that I was holding people like an octopus last night and wouldn't let go." Well...... Then you can also cover your nose with a handkerchief, and you won't be able to smell it. ”

"You've got a point." Chu Zhilan's voice was low, he was really sleepy. After a while, he heard a slight snoring sound beside him.

The body gradually couldn't support it, and when Chu Zhilan fell asleep, I was going to break free from under him, but in the end I was already pressed and had no strength. I couldn't push Chu Zhilan away from me after a few attempts, and I almost held my breath. I suddenly collapsed: "I'll go, I won't be crushed to death by my own man!" ”

There was laughter in my ears, and Chu Zhilan laughed like a sheep maniac again, and the weight on me was even greater. He let go of me and lay down on my side, and I felt like the scar on his face was laughing at me at the moment.

However, there is nothing wrong with that, since he laughs at me, let him laugh. Just as I was thinking this, he stopped laughing and grabbed me around my neck so that I had to press it against his forehead.

"What are you thinking?" His anger came suddenly, a little inexplicably.

"Why are you angry?" I retracted my thoughts.

He didn't answer, but insisted on asking me, "Tell me, what were you thinking just now?" But his tone was much calmer than before.

I told the truth: "I was thinking that you just laughed so much fun, if you can stay with me all the time, even if you laugh every day, it doesn't matter, really." I asked tentatively, "You will, right?" ”

He breathed a sigh of relief: "Of course." ”

I wondered, "What do you think I'm thinking?" Why did you suddenly get angry? ”

"Were you sad when I laughed just now?" His hand was inserted into my scattered hair, rubbing it gently like last night, and reassuring me: "Don't be sad"

Four words struck my heart, and I didn't know for a moment whether he was asking or requesting. An indescribable sourness rippled in my heart, and I suddenly became hypocritical, bowed my head and asked him: "You have told me many times, and I always ask, will it be annoying?" ”

"No, if you can feel at ease after listening to my answer, then what's the point if I say it a few more times? It's just a word. He chuckled: "Do you want to hear it, how many more times will I tell you?" ”

"No, no." I smiled awkwardly, and I was embarrassed to be pretentious. But Chu Zhilan suddenly didn't give up, and shouted loudly: "You're welcome, let me think about how to say, oh, I, Chu Wen, only want to be with Qingyi in this life...... I wanted to cover his mouth, but he held it with one hand.

"Morning and twilight, day and night, year after year......"

I said angrily: "Don't say it, I know, everyone outside is listening!" ”

"Shhhh His fingers caressed my lips affectionately, and lowered his voice so that only I could hear:

"Till death."

He cherished every word of the word, but I could hear relief in his tone.
