"After a Tanabata Festival, you seem to have changed a little, bronze. Xie Yunxi changed his joking tone.

"I ...... Is there one?" Bronze scratched at his hair.

"You used to only follow me, never say a word, except for my command to give you your opinion, otherwise you will not take the initiative to express your opinion. ”

"I ...... Maybe it was Yazhi's words that touched me a little, he and I talked about things between us alone. Bronze bowed his head.

"I see, I hope you will continue to work hard in the future, and I will forgive you for the matter of putting a relaxing pill in the wine you gave me. Xie Yunxi patted the bronze shoulder with one hand. Bronze didn't speak, just stared at him blankly.

"Ah, what did you just say? I said that giving Yazhi is Yazhi's thing, and no one can refute it. But there is another reason, that if I redeem the house, I will pay for our wedding dress. Fang Cai Zhishui was not very happy after seeing the wedding dress, and she asked me questions that I shouldn't ask. I'm afraid that when she returns to the house, she may secretly hide in the room and cry. Xie Yunxi said, a little worried in his heart, and he regretted that he had answered her question too directly.

Xie Yun learned that he had returned to the palace, and he was dismounting. At this moment Alley trotted towards him, panicked and panting, unable to speak clearly.

"Let's take a breath. Xie Yunxi helped her, and seeing that Alai was so anxious, he estimated that what he was worried about had happened.

"Little Prince...... You can be counted as having returned, and she has been crying since she returned. Getting married is not a happy thing, why does the young lady keep crying, and the slave and maid have been persuading me for a long time and not listening to me. Alai was worried.

When Xie Yun heard about this situation, he immediately handed the reins of the horse in his hand to Bronze and said, "Alai, you go first, I'll go over and see her situation later." ”

Alai answered, Xie Yunxi stood there and thought for a while, and then he set off to a place: the back kitchen. A few days ago, Xie Yunxi bought a small milk cat, but he didn't give Nalan Zhi water immediately. Xie Yunxi knew that the raccoon cat was stubborn and didn't love his relatives, so he entrusted Liu Siniang. I heard that she is an expert cat breeder, and kittens who have been trained by her will be more obedient.

"Siniang. As soon as Xie Yunxi entered the back kitchen, the little raccoon cat suddenly pounced on him and rolled at his feet.

"Lord Wang, you are here. This little tanuki is so clever that it is so clingy. It seems that its character is also relatively gentle, I don't know if the prince can take a name?" Liu Siniang came forward.

"I haven't chosen a name yet, so I'm bothering you these days. Xie Yunxi bent down to touch the little tanuki, and the little tanuki raised its front feet and climbed on Xie Yunxi's legs.

"It's okay, it's out of the way. Liu Siniang explained some things about the kitten and let Xie Yunxi take it away, he looked at the little civet cat in his arms who was curious about the surroundings, and he couldn't take his eyes off it. It wasn't until he came to the door of Nalan Zhishui's house that Xie Yunxi gently pushed open a crack in the door, reluctant to let the little civet cat in.

When the little tanuki saw a strange place, he not only stretched out his head to look. It seemed a little timid, but curious, and walked softly into the depths of the room. And Xie Yunxi just watched from outside the house and did not enter the house. Inside the house, Alai saw a kitten breaking in and tried to catch it: "Miss, look, there's a kitten." ”

When the little tanuki saw the stranger, he stepped back in fear, opened his small mouth and meowed. This cat meow made Alai's heart happy, this little milk cat is really cute. The little tanuki didn't give Alai a chance to catch it, spread his legs and ran into the room, and when it appeared in front of Nalan Zhishui, it suddenly jumped on its feet, immediately jumped on the bed, and hid behind Nalan Zhishui.

"Ah, that's naughty not to give me a chance. Alai said with a smile.

Nalan Zhishui sat on the edge of the bed, the tears that were originally hanging in the corners of her eyes dissipated after seeing the little civet cat, and she reached out and scratched the head of the kitten behind her. The little tanuki immediately rolled comfortably on the bed.

"Miss, it turns out that you know how to raise cats. ”

"I raised it when I was a child, and it was also a raccoon cat. Nalan Zhishui's voice was a little hoarse, but the expression on her face improved a little: "At that time, Brother Yazhi came back from the mountain and brought back an injured little civet cat, which strayed into the trap and broke a left hind leg, and I later raised it with Brother Yazhi until the end of my life. ”

"I see, no wonder it likes you. Seeing that her face was better, Alai was relieved.

"Alai, thank you...... When I think about it, I want to make it my home, and I just miss my relatives a little. Alai I'm fine, thank you, and brought a kitten to amuse me. Nalan Zhishui looked at her with emotion.

"Miss, you misunderstood, I didn't bring this kitten. It pushed open the door and entered the house, and when I saw it just now, I forgot that the door was still open, and I went to close the door. With that, she walked over, and did not make a sound for a long time.

The little civet cat was lying on Nalan Zhishui's lap, and had been playing with the copper round hollow sachet on her waist, Nalan Zhishui looked at this little cutie and was in a much better mood. When she saw that Alai went to close the door, there was no sound, and she shouted worriedly: "Alai ......"

Seeing that Alai did not reply, she looked up and saw a man standing behind the screen. His figure was cast on the screen, which surprised Nalan Zhishui.

Nalan Zhishui watched this person slowly walk over, he passed the screen, and the elegant and delicate face appeared under her eyes.

He said softly, "Alai is fine, do you still like this little civet cat?"

Nalan Zhishui blinked, it turned out that it was Xie Yunxi who said this, she looked at Xie Yunxi as someone else, looked away a little weakly, and said, "En." ”

"I'm sorry......" Before Xie Yunxi could speak, Nalan Zhishui continued: "I lied to you...... I left home because ......"

"I understand. Xie Yunxi's short sentence made tears gather again in Nalan Zhishui's eyes. "It's not just me, you've lied to everyone. None of them know, only I am willing to be deceived by you. ”

"Why ......"

"I don't know. Probably that's what she likes to be able to do for her. Xie Yunxi picked up the hem of his clothes and sat beside her: "What I want is very simple, as long as you are by my side, ......"

Hearing what he said, Nalan Zhishui stretched out her index finger and gently leaned against Xie Yunxi's lips, looked into his eyes and said, "I already understand your intentions, and I will be by your side in the future...... Be your wife. ”

Xie Yunxi looked at the shallow despair in her eyes, and there seemed to be something pressing in her heart. Xie Yunxi didn't say anything, just gently took Nalan Zhishui into his arms. Nalan Zhishui gently stroked the little civet cat on her legs, and said gently: "Thank you for giving me this kitten, I like it very much." Does it have a name?"

"It's not a name yet. I brought it with me to give it a name. Xie Yunxi touched the little civet cat's head.

"This little tanuki has a pattern on its back, and its belly and legs are white. You can see that there is a black pattern on its front legs, which is shaped like a feather, so let's call it a small feather. Nalan Zhishui picked up the kitten on her lap, and the little raccoon cat immediately raised her front legs and leaned on her chest, meowing non-stop, as if she liked the name very much.

Xie Yun was upset when he saw the cat's paws placed on Nalan Zhishui's chest, and quickly sighed: Fortunately, it's just a female cat. Suddenly, the little feather leaned against Nalan Zhishui's cheek, and Xie Yunxi frowned.

"Little Feather, this will be your home in the future, let your father hug it too. Nalan Zhishui said and hugged the little feather to Xie Yunxi. Xie Yun was slightly stunned, he had become a cat father in her eyes, and he looked at Nalan Zhishui's face with a smile, and finally he smiled. This kitten is what they take care of together, just like their child, and it is this cat that gives him a subtle connection with Nalan Zhishui.
