Chapter 131: Not So Gentlemanly (Second Update)
Xu Jing was slightly stunned, being looked at by Xiao Yi like this, she was inexplicably a little embarrassed, and she couldn't help lowering her eyes slightly and coughing lightly.
What did she say, as if she was complaining about her disliking this.
Although, she does have some, no, very disgusted.
Xiao Yi saw that she didn't refute, as if she was sure that she really wanted to stay at this moment, turned his head to look at Xianyun on the side and said, "Quickly go and clean up a guest room for." β
Xianyun couldn't hide his excitement and said, "Yes!" β
After saying that, he quickly left with the mood of flying.
It will take a little time to clean up the room, Xiao Yi thought about it, sat down opposite Xu Jing, rolled up his sleeves, lit the small stove on the table, picked up the teapot and began to make tea.
These tea sets were brought over by Qiushui to relieve their hangover after they had eaten and drunk enough, and before they left, Xiao He was in charge of making tea, but I didn't expect Xiao Yi to boil it again at this time.
If Xiao He gives people the feeling of being elegant and graceful when he makes tea, warm and delicate, and his every move seems to be careless, Xiao Yi's appearance of making tea is much more dignified and steady, the expression on his face is serious and focused, and his gestures reveal a trace of relaxed and casual elegance, as if blowing through the breeze in the mountains, refreshing, but also wrapped in the heaviness of the mountains.
Xu Jing glanced at Xiao Yi and said, "It's not too early, Xiao Shilang doesn't have to worry about me, just go and rest." β
Xiao Yi, as the host, couldn't leave her as a guest like this, so he stayed.
Xiao Yi was still boiling the tea unhurriedly, and when he saw that the water was boiling, he scooped up a small spoonful of tea powder that Xiao He had not used up with a delicate huanghua pear fruit-shaped teaspoon, put it into the boiling water and stirred it slowly, and said, "I also want to drink a few more sips of tea to relieve hangover, but I still drank too much wine." β
Speaking of this, an imperceptible sigh escaped from Xiao Yi's throat.
Shengshang has been trying to pour him wine tonight, but he is afraid that he is taking revenge on him, and today he stopped him from continuing to coax him to remarry Xu Siniang.
Although he knew that the Holy Lord didn't really care about this matter, it was also true that he contradicted the Holy One, so he drank the wine that the Holy Lord poured without resistance.
He had always drunk a good amount of alcohol, but even so, he couldn't withstand the Holy Lord's attack tonight, and until now, his head was still dizzy.
Seeing that the woman opposite didn't speak, Xiao Yi's movements paused, his eyes raised slightly, and a pair of black eyes that were even more blurred by the rolling water vapor looked at the woman in front of him, and said softly: "don't want me to be here?" β
He wanted to drink two more sips of tea, but more importantly, he wanted to stay and accompany her.
Thinking that she would stay here tonight, his heart couldn't help but be a little restless, he didn't want to go anywhere, he just wanted to stay by her side.
Xiao He, if they knew what he thought, they would definitely laugh at him again, this thousand-year-old iron tree would not bloom, and once it bloomed, it would be as green and naΓ―ve as if it was stunned.
Xu Jing was stunned for a moment, she was just thinking about all kinds of things that happened tonight, didn't this man think that she was unwilling to deal with him?
She unconsciously looked into his eyes, but saw that his usual unfathomable and imposing black eyes, under the double blessing of alcohol and water vapor, actually looked extremely innocent, and for a moment she was faced with the illusion of a big dog accusing its owner of not caring for it and not caring about it.
Xu Jing couldn't help but be slightly embarrassed, lowered her eyes and coughed lightly: "Xiao Shilang should say this, right?" After all, this is Xiao Shilang's home, and I am the uninvited guest. β
Xiao Yi looked at her steadily, and after a while, he whispered, "No." β
Xu Jing was slightly stunned.
What not? Shouldn't she say that, or is she not an uninvited guest?
However, the man in front of him lowered his head, lifted the tea that had been boiled, poured a cup and put it in front of her, and said, "can taste it to see if it suits the taste." β
Immediately, he poured himself a glass, picked it up and tasted it slowly.
Xu Jing glanced at him several times, but finally didn't continue the inexplicable topic of Fang Cai, and also picked up the cup in front of him and took a sip.
When Xiao He was there, the atmosphere was always lively, and there was almost no cold time.
Now only she and Xiao Yi are left, and it can't be said that it is cold, but compared to Fang Cai, it is a little too quiet, so starry and nightly, if it is with other people, Xu Jing will enjoy such quietness very much, but thinking that it is Xiao Yi sitting opposite her, she always feels that something is not right.
She is not a master of tea tasting in the end, she can only superficially conclude that the tea boiled by Xiao Yi seems to be lighter than Xiao He's, and it is more in line with her taste, and after two sips, she put down the tea cup in her hand, and said with some words: "Speaking of which, Song Erniang mentioned by Zhao Liulang today, I just happened to have a two-sided relationship, that is indeed a very good lady, and her heart is very pure, if Xiao Shilang chooses her, he will ...... to Changxiao"
Xiao Yi's hand paused suddenly, as if a boiling boulder had suddenly plunged into his originally quiet and comfortable heart lake, making him even have some difficulty breathing for a moment.
He unconsciously clenched the tea cup in his hand, the green tendons on the back of his hand burst out, but the expression on his face was still calm, he took a deep breath, raised his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him with heavy eyes, interrupting her words and saying, "I have no intention of continuing the string." β
Xu Jing's words stopped abruptly, and he looked at him with some astonishment, "But ......"
"No, but."
Xiao Yi tightened the cup in his hand again, the corners of his mouth tightened, and he said in a deep voice: "My wife, there will be no one else, and the mother who is smiling will not have anyone else." β
Xu Jing looked at him a little stunned, the first time she saw this man so strong in front of her.
Even at the beginning, when this man was still very unkind to see her, there had never been a time when she was completely left no room for her.
It should be said that Xiao Yi is always very good at talking in front of her, which makes her forget that he is a powerful minister who dominates the court and kills decisively.
I'm afraid that this topic of hers has touched his taboo.
The marriage between the original owner and him was calculated by the original owner by means that could not be put on the table, and he would have a shadow because of this, and it was normal for him to refuse to continue to marry a wife.
Xu Jing pretended not to see the gloom in his eyes, raised her lips and smiled, and deliberately said with a bit of banter: "Is this so?" Fortunately, I didn't promise Xiao Erlang and them, otherwise Xiao Shilang would only be embarrassed. β
Xiao Yi was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but have a headache.
Are women's thoughts always so ever-changing? Obviously, a moment ago, she was still talking about him and other women, why did she jump to their topic now?
He quietly lifted the teapot and filled Xu Jing's cup, which was already almost bottoming out, and his voice was slightly faint, as if he was a little careless, "Jingchen's proposal, I didn't say I didn't want to." β
Xu Jing: "......"
Do you want your old man's idea to change so fast!
Xiao Yi raised his eyes to look at her, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and he actually hooked out a bit of grace that was completely inconsistent with his usual temperament, "After all, what Jingchen said wasn't a fake remarriage?" If it's fake, why care? β
This proposal, he was not unimpressed, on the contrary, he was almost crazy.
He just didn't want to use it to calculate her feelings.
However, being too upright and gentleman seemed to just push her farther and farther, and at this moment, she actually matched him with other women.
In that case, don't blame him for being a little less gentlemanly. (End of chapter)
