18 Suspicion
The night was silent, and the wind was heard outside from time to time.
As soon as the curtain fell, a hidden little world was constructed. The lights in the room were like fireflies, and the halo of light rushed into this small world, illuminating everywhere with a hazy crimson.
Qi Mingle and Zhang Yuanxiu were lying side by side, neither of them spoke, but they both knew that the other party was not asleep.
Silence spread between the two of them.
Qi Mingle and Zhang Yuanxiu have been married for ten days, but the two have never had a round house.
Either there was something before, or Zhang Yuanxiu was busy with official business, so it has been delayed until now. Now, after eight days, the two are lying on the same bed again. In this situation, Qi Mingle was inexplicably a little nervous. She unconsciously picked the quilt with her fingertips, always listening to Zhang Yuanxiu's movements.
And Zhang Yuanxiu has been in the same position since he lay down.
Two days ago, Qi Mingle, who could fall asleep quickly after lying down, seemed to be unable to sleep tonight. And when he lay down just now, Zhang Yuanxiu smelled that there was a faint fragrance between the bed curtains tonight.
And now, the faint fragrance was a little stronger than when he first lay down—
Qi Mingle was nervous. And the reason for the nervousness is obviously because of him.
At this moment, Zhang Yuanxiu suddenly regretted it.
Previously, Feng Mo said that he would not return to the inner courtyard to rest for a long time, and others would speculate wildly. Zhang Yuanxiu had never cared about that, but he couldn't help but give Qi Mingle a decent wife, so he came over.
But now, after sensing Qi Mingle's nervousness, Zhang Yuanxiu felt that he might not have come over-
Qi Mingle has a heart, and when he doesn't come back at night, she will be more comfortable.
Suddenly remembered the excuse that there was unattended business, which he had already used last time. Can't use it a second time. And if he leaves in the middle of the night again tonight, I'm afraid that Su Qinlan will come to ask tomorrow.
Walking and not being able to walk, sleeping and not being able to sleep, Zhang Yuanxiu was thinking about how to solve the current situation.
And Qi Mingle, who was on his side, waited for a long time, and Zhang Yuanxiu did not move. Qi Mingle couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Zhang Yuanxiu fell asleep? Qi Mingle was a little curious, so he secretly turned over, but before he could peek, he heard Zhang Yuanxiu ask, "Can't sleep?" ”
"You—You're not asleep!" Qi Mingle was taken aback, and suddenly felt like he had been caught doing bad things.
Zhang Yuanxiu hummed softly. After Qi Mingle secretly lay back, he asked dryly, "Why didn't you fall asleep?" ”
"I'm used to going to bed late on weekdays." In fact, he is not used to sleeping with light.
"Oh." Qi Mingle responded, and silence spread in the gauze tent again.
But soon, Zhang Yuanxiu broke these again, and he turned his head to chat with Qi Mingle: "You and your brother have followed your father-in-law in Litang Pass since childhood?" ”
Qi Mingle didn't expect that at this time, Zhang Yuanxiu would suddenly mention Litang Pass, she was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Yes." ”
"I've never been there, but I've heard that the winters are dry and cold, and there are often flying sand and rocks, but really?"
"It's true that it's dry and cold in winter, but flying sand and rocks are fake......" Oak Tang Pass is where Qi Mingle grew up, Zhang Yuanxiu mentioned this, Qi Mingle suddenly became interested, she changed a comfortable posture, and talked to Zhang Yuanxiu about all kinds of Oak Tang Pass.
In the eyes of the world, Oak Tang Pass is a border pass, when it comes to there, the first thing that comes to mind is the war, and then the thought is barren. But in Qi Mingle's eyes, there is the unity of the people and the simplicity of the people.
The tension in the bed curtain has already quietly dissipated in Qi Mingle's treasures.
"Everyone says that it is better to go to Beijing, but I think that Litang Pass is better than Shangjing." When he said this, Qi Mingle covered the corners of his lips and couldn't help yawning, but he didn't forget to promise, "If you are free in the future, I will take you to see you." ”
"Okay." Zhang Yuanxiu responded warmly, and said, "It's not early, go to bed early." ”
"Okay." Qi Mingle was indeed sleepy, she muttered, and then turned over and lay face in with the quilt in her arms. After a while, Qi Mingle's even breathing sounded in the bed curtain.
Zhang Yuanxiu moved his stiff body for a while, and then closed his eyes and brewed sleep. When he was about to fall asleep, his body sank again.
Qi Mingle, who was originally facing inward, turned over to face him again at some point, and put his leg on him again.
After the previous two nights, Zhang Yuanxiu is now able to do it without being shocked.
He raised his hand slightly, and gently pushed Qi Mingle's leg back through the quilt. But after a while, Qi Mingle sprouted his old ways again, and put his legs on him again.
Zhang Yuanxiu: "......"
It was the first time he had seen a person like Qi Mingle, who was like two people when he woke up and after he fell asleep.
The night breeze outside stopped at some point, and the sky and the earth were quiet.
Zhang Yuanxiu looked down at the person who was snuggled up to his side and put his legs on him. The crimson light swooped in and landed on Qi Mingle's face.
Her countenance and her whole person have changed a lot.
Zhang Yuanxiu vaguely remembered that ten years ago, when he saw Qi Mingle, she was thin like a kitten, hiding behind Qi Changhong, her big black eyes were full of cowardice.
And now she is cheerful and bright.
"Smack-"
Qi Mingle put his legs up again, and the sudden weight recalled Zhang Yuanxiu's thoughts.
Zhang Yuanxiu gently pushed Qi Mingle's leg down, but after a while, Qi Mingle came up again. After repeating this several times, Zhang Yuanxiu was also tired, so he simply let Qi Mingle go.
On the second day, when Qi Mingle woke up, Zhang Yuanxiu had already gone to the court.
Qi Mingle lay on the bed for a while, and suddenly felt that something was wrong: Zhang Yuanxiu came over last night, didn't he come to have a round room with her? But what did they do last night? She told him a lot about the Oak Tang Pass?!
Qi Mingle held his forehead with his hand, feeling a little suffocated.
Whose newlywed Yan'er couple lie together at night and talk about the border pass?! But soon, Qi Mingle discovered the problem again-
Last night, it was Zhang Yuanxiu who asked about Litang Pass first.
So last night Zhang Yuanxiu came to the inner courtyard to rest, the purpose was to ask her about Litang Pass?! But this thought was dispelled by Qi Mingle in an instant. The reason why Zhang Yuanxiu talked about Litang Pass at that time was actually to alleviate the silence and embarrassment between them.
The night before the wedding, the second Mrs. Qi made a special trip to tell her that the husband and wife Dunlun are a matter of yin and yang harmony, so she should not be too thin-skinned.
So for the matter of the round house, Qi Mingle was already mentally prepared, but she never expected that Zhang Yuanxiu was stuck here.
In the midst of the lightning, Qi Mingle suddenly remembered another thing - since Father Qi left Beijing, Zhang Yuanxiu said that he was very busy with official business and had been staying in the study at night.
In the past, Qi Mingle didn't think there was anything, but now she finally realized that something was wrong.
No matter how busy Zhang Yuanxiu is, can he be as busy as Xie Shenshuang? Xie Shenshuang didn't sleep in the study every day!
Thinking about it like this, Qi Mingle suddenly discovered the problem: Could it be that Zhang Yuanxiu was busy with official business, and it was true that he didn't want to come back to sleep at night? !
They are a husband and wife who have visited the church, Zhang Yuanxiu doesn't want to come back to sleep at night, what does it mean to drag the unround room? Does he want to marry her? Still no!
Qi Mingle lifted the curtain of the bed, got out of bed and changed clothes and shoes.
Caihe heard the movement and came in, but before he could speak, he heard Qi Mingle ask in an unkind tone: "What about Zhang Yuanxiu?" ”
