But she didn't dare to look at him, those crescent-like eyes were enough to melt the hearts of all women. Just one glance, and you are already confused. It's just that he rarely looks at her so lovingly. So much so that at this moment, her cheeks were crimson, and her heart was like numbness. As a last resort, he withdrew his hand, as if his mind was a little calm.

"Yunyi slept?"

"Hmm. ”

He withdrew his gaze from the back room and smiled wryly, "He should forget what I look like!"

Wei Lan explained, "He's still too young. Or I'll bring him here......"

Chu Tao stopped her: "Wake him up, it's enough for you to be busy." Another day......"

Veran suddenly became a little gloomy, as if worried that he would turn around and leave, and added, "He misses you so much, pestering me every day to tell me stories about my father...... But I ...... But I don't know how to talk about ......"

For a while, all the thoughts were steaming in the empty room, lingering. After a long time, he said, "I will come often." Just because of this, she was like a treasure: "Good, good, Yunyi must be happy." In the words, I couldn't help but choke up a little.

"Hate me, Lan?" he said sadly, leaning back in his chair.

"How so?" she shook her head.

"I've snubbed you for four whole years, and everyone has scolded me behind my back, but how did you get through?

She was even more nervous, thinking only about how to change the topic: "Is there anything unhappy about the husband?"

Chu Tao didn't speak, but he was worried that he would accidentally hurt her as soon as he spoke.

"Or did Veran do something wrong?" she asked, cautiously.

Chu Tao shook his head in disappointment: "Why do you always go against the grain, Lan ...... You are my wife, not my servant......"

"My husband has enough troubles, Wei Lan can't help anything, and she can't stop her husband. She smiled flawlessly. Under the moon, her weakness is particularly pitiful.

"So you endure it day by day, even if you know that I will never give you the slightest bit of friendship between husband and wife......" Chu Tao looked up and sighed, "Are you waiting for me to change my mind?"

Beside him, there was a sudden silence.

He thought that she should know about the rumors between him and Leng Fengyi. Unforgettable, deep love, painful, all the same.

She didn't say a word, just sat quietly, her eyelashes lowered, and just took her fate.

He found that he had forgotten: her stupidity was just like him. With a pain in his heart, he held her hand even tighter. When he closed his eyes, he was still weak in front of him—the shadow that swayed in his groggy sleep when he was seriously injured, a thin woman with a pale face who couldn't hold back her crying but couldn't dispel the clouds, guarding his bed. It's just that now he can't hold it all. His palms slipped down.

Suddenly, she grabbed his hand tightly and didn't let him go: "No...... The Chu Tao I know is by no means a ruthless person......"

Where did she know? He was amazed at her stubbornness. Isn't these four years of indifference enough to prove his indifference?

"I know, it's not. She said firmly, "You care so much about everyone around you......"

"Only snubbing you and Yunyi—don't you understand?" Chu Tao didn't want to hurt her, but it was true.

She couldn't speak, just let the tears flow in silence, but she didn't want to let go of her hand, as if this was all her hope. "I'm sorry, Lan. He said, "I can't give you anything." Even now I can't hold a sword - I can't protect any of the people around me. Whoever comes nearer to me will befall unforeseen calamities around him. Lan, do you really not regret marrying such a person who will break your heart and put you in danger?"

There was a moment of silence, and I only listened to her: "The day I married him, I already knew - his charm can ignite the whole world, but he is a person who will never belong to me." He can forget me, but I am connected to his destiny. I don't want his protection, I just want him to be okay all the time, because he belongs to the whole ......."

Chu Tao said gloomily: "Do you know it's a fire pit?"

"There are no regrets. The corners of Vilan's mouth were raised, bitter, but firm. In the twinkle of tears, his arms gently wrapped around his body, leaned on his shoulder, and said, "If all I can do is wait, I am willing to wait, because he will always come back." ”

"Silly girl......" When he turned his head, he realized that her face was covered with tears. He didn't continue, just wiped away her tears, and then, gently, took her in his arms.

"Husband, when you can't hold on, remember to have Wei Lan with you, okay?"

He laughed, laughing at her for being so ignorant of the world. Everyone told him that he had to hold on and not fall, and he told himself. No one ever thought about what would happen if Chu Tao couldn't hold on. Can she be expected to hold up the South Shore for him with such a weak shell?" "If I can't hold on, do you know what the South Shore will be like?"

"I only know that since my hair has been knotted, I will never leave my white head, and I have no regrets about life and death. ”

He was still smiling, his eyes flashing with intoxicating brilliance: "Did it scare you? What do you say about life and death? Don't worry, there won't be such a day." He took a key from his waist and placed it in the palm of her hand, "You and I will keep the key to the study separately and keep it carefully." There are books out there that can relieve boredom - though most of them are fight-and-kill. As for my letters...... Actually, I always make a mess. It would be great if you were willing to clean up the mess for me. ”

Veran was stunned. She suddenly realized that Chu Tao actually cared about her, at least more than she imagined. She clutched the key and put it on her chest: "Husband......" She knew that this key would not only open the study, but his whole world.

"But you have to take care of yourself, the rivers and lakes can see blood at any time, even in the house, it is not very safe. ”

She nodded vigorously.

"Don't always trouble Senior Liu to be a shield in the future, I'm not a fierce god. Chu Tao blinked playfully, "Also, you must not put rock sugar in the bitter tea, there is a strange smell, which is worse than Old Man Liu's medicine." By the way, he frowned and squeezed out a bitter look.

"Ahh......h

"No matter how bad it is, you have to drink it, who let you soak it. The next time I make you sad, you will add sugar to my tea and take revenge on me, how about it?"

Wei Lan burst out laughing, never thinking that Chu Tao would joke with her in such a playful tone.

Rough hands brushed over her bright brows and face, and her weak shoulders pressed against his warm chest. There seems to be a lot of things I want to say but I don't have time to say, but there is no sound at this time. Neither wanted to break the silence, so they sat next to each other until the moon set in the west.

A flower-like face fell into a deep sleep in his arms.

In the faint moonlight, Chu Tao's expression suddenly became dark and gloomy, and the pain of the old wound was torn violently in his heart, and he endured the pain, but he couldn't help but have a wisp of blood at the corner of his mouth. He remembered what Senior Liu said, once the internal injury occurred, it would be like a sword piercing the heart, and the pain was unbearable. And over time, each episode will get worse by a few points.

He had to let go of Veran and staggered out - he couldn't let her know, he couldn't let her put up with the slightest worry. The cold sweat was like rain, and the powerlessness that spread throughout his body almost knocked him down. He leaned against the wall and looked back with difficulty, relieved that the room was still calm.

"Lan, I remember your life and death without regrets. But, forgive me for not being able to give you the same promise. My life and death are no longer my own. Chu Tao is sorry for you in this life, I'm sorry ......"
