Wu Zechen glanced at the unpretentious Mu Jinyu, then turned around and left the study. He was so preoccupied with what he was thinking about just now that he didn't even bother to pay attention to Mu Jinyu, who was always taking advantage of him recently.
When Mu Jinyu saw Wu Zechen leaving, she shrugged indifferently, then shook her head and left the study.
The next day, Xia Luotong stayed in her room all day, burying herself in the desk and writing non-stop. During this period, Wu Zechen and Mu Jinyu came to have lunch with her, but they also After she ate quickly, she sat back behind the desk again.
Both of them were curious, but they didn't get the answer after asking her, so they had to go back to their houses full of curiosity. Unexpectedly, the next morning, they got the answer they wanted in a completely unexpected way.
Just when Wu Zechen and Mu Jinyu were discussing matters in the study, a loud noise suddenly came from somewhere in Shaoguang Pavilion. Not only did it alarm the guards in the courtyard, but even Wu Zechen frowned subconsciously, and then thought of Charlotte Tong's safety worried him, and he disappeared from the room almost instantly, leaving only Mu Jinyu alone, who was staring blankly at the empty seat opposite.
Although in Wu Zechen's view, there is no doubt about the safety of Shaoguang Pavilion, which is as defensive as an iron barrel, when he thinks of Xia Luotong's safety, he can't help but feel nervous, subconsciously worried about her situation and whether the noise will It has something to do with her. Is she safe now?
Wu Zechen, who was walking quickly through Shaoguang Pavilion, was filled with the figure of the person in his heart. Only then did he realize that her position in his heart was far more important than he thought. , the first thought that popped into his mind was related to her.
He thought, he must have completely fallen like this...?
Walking all the way towards the source of the sound, Wu Zechen suddenly realized that this seemed to be the direction of the kitchen?
From a long distance away, he noticed black smoke rising from the direction of the kitchen. He couldn't help but feel startled, and the speed of his feet exploded again, rushing towards that direction.
As soon as he stepped into the courtyard where the kitchen was located, he saw a slender and familiar figure staggering out from the thick smoke. At that moment, he felt as if his heart was grasped by a giant hand, and for a moment pause.
In a hurry, he ran towards the figure and raised his hand to stir up a strong wind, blowing away the figure wrapped in smoke.
"Atong——"
He blurted out in desperation. This seemed to be the first time he had called her like this. But he had just spoken, and he couldn't help but pause before he could ask, because at this time she looked...
He was originally wearing green clothes, but now they were stained, as if he had rolled in the mud. Even his face was black and white, like a tabby cat, and his original appearance could not be seen.
At this time, Xia Luotong was choking on the smoke and coughing. Wu Zechen came closer, raised his hand and patted her back to help her breathe, while looking up behind her.
There was the kitchen of Shaoguang Pavilion. Black smoke was rising, and many servants were busy going in and out, opening windows for ventilation and tidying up.
He had some doubts in his heart. Seeing that Xia Luotong had calmed down and stopped coughing, he uneasily pulled her over to take a closer look.
There were a lot of stains on the clothes, and there were some burn marks on the hem of the skirt. Other than that, there were no other marks. He couldn't help but feel relieved.
Xia Luotong was a little surprised by Wu Zechen's behavior. Could this guy be caring about him?
But the situation in the kitchen right now... left her no time to think about anything else. She was about to speak, but Wu Zechen spoke first.
"Is there any injury?" Wu Zechen felt a little relieved after seeing that there was no external injury, but he still asked uneasily.
Xia Luotong was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and replied: "No, I hid quickly, it's okay."
Hide quickly...
What is she doing in the kitchen?
Wu Zechen was silent, seeing that although her face was dirty, her eyes were still as bright as the stars in the sky, penetrating through the darkness and reaching the bottom of his heart.
Resisting the urge to touch those eyes, he took out a brocade handkerchief and raised his hand to wipe the stains on her face. His movements were gentle and slow, as if he were treating a peerless treasure with care.
Xia Luotong obviously didn't expect Wu Zechen to behave like this. He couldn't help but stiffen where he stood, and his eyes drifted to the side, and then he realized what he was doing and planned to reach out and take the handkerchief.
"I'll do it myself."
"Don't move, you can't see where it's dirty." Wu Zechen held her wrist with one hand to stop her movement, and still wiped her cheek carefully with the other hand.
His eyes were focused and serious. When Xia Luotong saw him like this, he didn't say anything more, but he always felt that something was strange in his heart.
The two of them were so close at this time, and she didn't know where to direct her eyes, so she could only wander around.
Wu Zechen saw her look like this, standing very close to him, and a deep smile appeared in his eyes. However, Xia Luotong was embarrassed to look into his eyes at this time, so he didn't Discover.
At this time, the intimate behavior of the two of them had already fallen into the eyes of everyone present. Combined with the sudden change of names in the past few days, almost everyone woke up and acted more and more lightly, not daring to disturb them. Two masters standing in the courtyard.
However, this tranquility did not last long, until a whistling sound sounded.
"Oh my God! Atong! Are you demolishing the kitchen of our Shaoguang Pavilion?!" Mu Jinyu just entered the courtyard, and after passing the seemingly intimate two people with a smile, she was attracted by the already smoked man behind them. The kitchen with darkened walls shocked me.
"Well……"
Xia Luotong choked, thinking of the tragic situation in the kitchen, and looked up embarrassedly at Wu Zechen who was still wiping his cheeks, and mustered up the courage to say: "I'm sorry, that kitchen... I will be responsible for restoring it to its original state. "
"It's just a kitchen. If it doesn't work, just tear it down and rebuild it. Don't worry, as long as you're fine." Wu Zechen retracted his wiping hand and looked at her intently and seriously.
Why do you hear this...
Xia Luotong couldn't help but froze, and a strange feeling arose in her heart. Being stared at by him like this, she suddenly felt a little unnatural, and even felt a little embarrassed to look back.
Unexpectedly, she felt a little embarrassed, and she explained subconsciously: "I originally wanted to try to make something to eat..."
"What?! Are you sure you are here to make food and not to tear down the kitchen?" Mu Jinyu, who was standing behind Xia Luotong and looking into the kitchen, finally couldn't bear it after hearing her words. Zhu asked such a question.
