Chapter 193: One Step Further
"Ouch!"
As soon as Qiu Xiao threw the handkerchief out, he heard Gu Yunji's cry of pain from downstairs. Xu Shuhua's heart tightened, and he hurriedly ran to the window and asked, "What's the matter?" Did you hit him? What did you just wrap in your veil? ”
Qiu Xiao retracted his hand weakly and pointed to the potted plant next to him: "I picked up a stone and wrapped it in...... It's not that big, just a little bigger than a finger......"
"No matter how small a stone is, you can't throw it like that!" Xu Shuhua frowned, and rarely became angry, "We are condescending again, it will only hurt more if we hit someone, we must not be so reckless in the future!" ”
Qiu Xiao was short by her, and defended in a low voice: "Actually, I originally wanted to throw it into Gu Gongzi's arms, but I didn't expect it to fall on his head......"
Seeing that Xu Shuhua was about to get angry again, Qiu Xiao hurriedly closed her mouth and didn't dare to keep her mouth shut. Xu Shuhua was concerned about Gu Yunji's injury, and after glaring at Qiu Xiao, he was busy looking for Gu Yunji's figure in the crowd.
Gu Yunji guarded the front and back, left and right, but he didn't guard against the sky, and he was suddenly hit on the forehead, and suddenly grinned in pain. Gu Yunji grabbed the handkerchief that had just smashed himself, and was wondering where a small handkerchief could be so powerful, when he found that there was actually a small stone in it.
Throwing a handkerchief and throwing a handkerchief, and even hiding a stone in it, is this to express admiration to him? I'm afraid it's not murder!
Gu Yunji looked up angrily in the direction of throwing the handkerchief, and was about to see who was so disproportionate, when he saw Xu Shuhua's anxious face appear by the window on the second floor.
Gu Yunji was slightly stunned, the anger on his face instantly dissipated, and he quickly changed to a smile, raised his arm and waved at her, which was regarded as a greeting.
The young man on horseback was dressed in a dark blue brand-new jinshi uniform, wearing a black gauze hat with silver hairpins, his posture was tall and handsome, and his smile was a little brighter than the noon sun. Previously, Xu Shuhua had only glanced at Gu Yunji from a distance a few times, but now he looked at him closer, his gaze seemed to be absorbed, and he couldn't take his eyes off it.
It turns out that the Tanhualang who "looks better than Pan An" in the play is not entirely fake.
Suddenly coming back to his senses, Xu Shuhua remembered Gu Yunji's painful exclamation again, and hurriedly looked at his face, and found that there was no other abnormality except for a slight redness on the skin on his forehead, so he was relieved.
The procession on the street continued to march, and the two only looked at each other for a short moment, and Gu Yunji quickly walked in front of her. Xu Shuhua was a little reluctant, his eyes still followed his figure tightly, refusing to move away.
Under the noise on all sides, Xu Shuhua suddenly saw Gu Yunji's lips move, as if he was saying something to her.
"What do you say? I can't hear clearly. ”
Gu Yunji repeated it again, and after finding that she still couldn't hear clearly, she simply lifted the handkerchief that Fang Cai Qiuxiao threw down, pointed with her other hand, and pointed at herself, gesturing chaotically in her hand.
"Huh? What do you mean? Xu Shuhua didn't know why, and was guessing what he wanted to express, when he saw him fold the handkerchief carefully, put it into his arms with a precious weight, and then patted her on the chest with the handkerchief, smiled lightly, and then turned his head and continued to walk forward.
Xu Shuhua's heart burned when he saw this, and there seemed to be a warm current in his chest, which was so soft that it couldn't be seen.
She knows what it means for a woman to give a man something close to her; And she knows what it means for the man to accept the gift in public. Although she didn't throw down the veil herself, it was indeed her daily belongings. Such a private and intimate thing is actually attached to Gu Yunji's chest at this time......
Xu Shuhua bit his lip, his little face first slowly turned red, and then a little bit of powder, and even the tips of his ears were so red that they seemed to drip blood.
Qiu Xiao looked at her suspiciously: "Miss, what's wrong with you?" Is it too hot? ”
"No, nothing." Xu Shuhua coughed lightly as if she were disguised, and turned her head away from Qiu Xiao's gaze, "It's almost over, Qiu Xiao, let's go back." ”
Qiu Xiao nodded: "Okay." ”
The sun has risen to the highest, and the parade has gradually come to an end, and it is time to send the champion to the top.
Returning to the first place, it is necessary to go home, and you need to send the champion back to his residence with Tanhua and everyone, and then Tanhua will send Bangyan back to his residence, and finally Tanhua will return to his residence by himself, so that the entire street parade is over.
On the way back to Xu's mansion, Xu Shuhua did not take the main gate, but took Qiu Xiao around to the side gate, because this was the closest place to Gu Yunji's road back to the guild hall - only one street away, and you might be able to see it when you turn the intersection.
The closer he got to the gate of Xu's mansion, the more Xu Shuhua hesitated, stopping and stopping, turning around in three steps, as if he was waiting for someone.
Qiu Xiao couldn't help but say, "Miss, who are you waiting for?" Gu Gongzi? Gu Gongzi has just finished touring the street, and he will send the champion and the list to return to the first place in a while, and after he goes back, he will accept congratulations from his friends and fellow villagers, and he should not come over again. ”
"No...... I was just...... Ay. Xu Shuhua subconsciously wanted to explain, but found that he couldn't explain the reason, hesitated for a while, and finally gave up.
Qiu Xiao is right, Gu Yunji is very busy today, not to mention that Fang has already met her, even if she wants to come to Xu Mansion, it should be tomorrow, and she will not come here at this time.
But somehow, she wanted to see Gu Yunji again at this moment, and she wanted to do it now.
As for the reason for this, she said no.
Is it because we just met in a hurry and didn't even say anything, so I don't feel satisfied? Or is it because Gu Yunji is exploring flowers in high school today and wants to share the joy with him? Or was it because she felt uncomfortable seeing so many women throwing sachets at Gu Yunji?
Or, Gu Yunji, who has always been polite, accepted her handkerchief and made the most intimate behavior since they met, representing a further step in the relationship between the two, and she herself, who realized this, was actually looking forward to all this?
Xu Shuhua thought about it carefully for a long time, but didn't understand why, so he simply gave up: "Forget it, Qiu Xiao, go home." ”
After speaking, Xu Shuhua was still a little unwilling, and looked back again, but still didn't see anything. She smiled self-deprecatingly, completely dispelled the last thought in her heart, and turned around and walked towards the Xu Mansion.
Just as she was about to step through the door, a familiar and clear voice suddenly came from behind her: "This young lady, please stay." ”
Xu Shuhua's heart trembled, and she turned back in surprise and joy, and sure enough, she looked at the person she was thinking about.
Gu Yunji smiled softly, took a step closer to her, and then took out a handkerchief from his arms, spread it out in the palm of his hand and held it in front of her, his eyebrows raised:
"Xiaosheng occasionally got an embroidered handkerchief, I don't know if it's Miss's?"
