Long street at night, candlelight dimmed.
Near Hai hour, King De's birthday banquet was over, and the carriage from Prince Yu's mansion carried the two masters back to the mansion.
In the car, Ye Jinxiao closed his eyes and tapped his fingers on his knees, thinking about something.
Chu Yuci sat on one side, looking at her with burning eyes.
His gaze was direct and focused, wishing he could make two holes in her face.
"Xiao'er?"
Being able to sit so close to her, his heart couldn't help but surge. Looking at the white tender skin on her knees, slender and soft, with round and beautiful knuckles, he couldn't help but feel a little impulse...
The palm slowly moved outward.
Every little bit, every step of the way.
Like a young boy who has just started to fall in love, has never been exposed to the scent of beauty, and is so nervous that his throat feels tight.
The hand slowly stretched out.
My whole body was tense.
As soon as her fingertips touched the back of her hand, she suddenly opened her eyes and looked at him with her cold, ink-like eyes, making him panic with nowhere to hide.
He quickly withdrew his hand and said, "Xiao'er, I... I just want to see if you are cold or not."
"Here's a blanket..."
"I'm not cold, thank you." Ye Jinxiao looked away.
Chu Yuci still covered her legs with the blanket, "If Xiaoer is worried about Chunjing, I will think of a way to let her stay in Prince De's Mansion for two more days."
When it comes to this matter, Chu Yuci has helped a lot tonight.
Chunjing has a special status. If he hadn't vouched for her in public, Chunjing would not be qualified to treat Princess De.
Ye Jinxiao said calmly: "She's just a maid, I don't need to worry about you."
"She is your friend, and your business is my business."
"Xiao'er, we are one."
Husband and wife are one.
Ye Jinxiao said nothing.
Rather than acquiescence, it should be understood as neglect. If you don't listen to these words, you will naturally not care about what he said.
Chu Yuci's eyes gradually dimmed.
Suddenly, the carriage stalled for a moment, as if the rope was suddenly tightened, and the interior of the carriage swayed obviously.
Outside, Feng Xing's voice came: "Master, there is someone here."
"It's so late, are there any passersby?"
"Not a passerby."
Chu Yuci opened the corner of the car curtain and saw a man in black standing on the side of the wall in the dark long street, holding a sword, his aura restrained, but so solemn that he could not ignore it.
Ye Qi.
He was looking for Xiaoer, but she actually found her right under his nose!
Ye Jinxiao saw it and said, "Stop the car."
After getting off the carriage, he walked straight over there, "Ye Qi, it's so late, is there anything urgent?"
Ye Ming took out a secret letter from his arms.
"I just intercepted this from Prince Jin's Mansion."
Ye Jinxiao was surprised.
Is he always with her? Or are you always keeping an eye on Prince Jin's Mansion?
He seemed to have no reason to be an enemy of Prince Jin's Mansion.
Then there is only one possibility: "You have always been by my side?"
Only then will she know exactly what she wants to do.
Ye Ming lowered his eyes: "Yeah."
"Why?"
Ye Ming looked at her, as if trying to figure out what she was thinking at the moment.
"You are always near me, but I don't notice at all. Why do you always follow me?"
He was startled for a moment, with a faint flash of light in his dark eyes, and slowly tightened his grip on the sword, "I... will leave immediately, and I won't do this again."
"That was not what I meant."
Ye Jinxiao grabbed his arm with quick eyes and hands.
"Don't get me wrong. It's really too cold. You're wearing thin clothes and you're always hanging out. But it's for me... I treat you as a friend. You're not my guard. You don't have to do this for me."
He always helped her, saved Ye Er, and intercepted the letter from Prince Jin's palace.
He is not her slave.
If he encounters any danger because of her, she cannot bear the responsibility.
Ye Ming looked at her blankly: "I thought you hated me..."
Ye Jinxiao sighed heavily:
"Ye Qi, I know you value love and justice. I saved you when we were in the epidemic area, but you also helped me a lot and taught me martial arts. I should thank you."
"We are good friends, and I don't want you to be as humble as a guard."
"And the Chinese New Year is coming soon, you should go home and reunite with your relatives."
Home?
A trace of loneliness flashed across Ye Ming's eyes, and even his fingertips felt cold.
He has no home...
The carriage stopped a few meters away, and Chu Yuci opened the entire carriage curtain, allowing himself to enter Ye Qi's line of sight from head to toe.
The warning was obvious: Ye Jinxiao was married!
If Ye Qi is ignorant and dares to think anything wrong, don't blame him for being ruthless.
It's been ten seconds, why haven't they finished speaking yet?
Twenty seconds.
It's been half a minute.
What's taking so long to say?
Every time Xiaoer talked to him, it didn't last more than half a minute. Why did she talk to Ye Qi for so long?
What's there to say?
"Looking for her in the middle of the night won't do anything good." He sneered coldly. If he hadn't been in front of Ye Jinxiao, he would have taken action long ago.
Feng Xing lowered his head slightly, not daring to speak.
"When I look at his face, I know he is not a good person."
Feng Xing thought about it for a moment and added in a low voice: "Master's vision of people is always accurate."
Except Liu Mingyue.
"Isn't that true?" Chu Yuci sneered, "He is dressed in black, like a black crow. When I see him, I will feel that this person is unlucky."
Feng Xinglian claimed so.
While the two were talking, Chu Yuci had already looked at Ye Ming three times with extreme criticality.
Finally, Ye Jinxiao came back.
He instantly smiled and changed his irritated attitude. He reached out his hand very considerately and welcomed her back into the carriage. He glanced at Ye Qi provocatively, like a peacock spreading its wings to win.
He threw down the curtain coldly and proudly.
"Go home."
"Yes." Feng Xing immediately drove the carriage.
"Xiao'er likes that?"
Ye Jinxiao paused slightly, raised his head and looked directly at him: "What do you want to say?"
"Xiao'er, I don't mean anything else. It's just that this person's origin is unknown, and his identity can't even be traced. I'm afraid there may be other dangers lurking. I'm worried that you will be deceived."
Ah.
A good saying about being deceived.
"Chu Yuci, when you see a man, you slap me on the head. Then you come into contact with so many women, why don't you take them all into the backyard of Prince Yu's mansion?"
Chu Yuci's heart tightened. Seeing her tone change, he immediately explained: "Xiao'er, that's not what I meant."
"Isn't that what you mean?"
Ye Jinxiao looked at him with disdain.
"My mind is so messed up that everything I look at is messed up."
She and Ye Qiqing had an innocent and legitimate relationship as friends, but in his eyes, he might have made up a drama of "watery sex".
"Xiao'er, I'm really worried about you."
That Ye Qi was like a person without a past and possessing profound martial arts skills. He could not be an ordinary person.
"Whether it is worry or narrow-mindedness, you know in your heart."
She had her own normal social circle, but in his eyes it was like she had committed a crime.
It's really tiring to talk to people who have different views.
"She looks like a jealous woman. She looks really ugly. Stop the car and I'll walk back by myself."
Before the carriage stopped, Chu Yuci, who had a solid foundation in martial arts, jumped to the ground steadily, and left without looking back. His figure was dragged on the ground for a long time, and Chu Yuci felt as if he had been stabbed hard in the heart.
——'You were jealous of my love for Yue'er, so you pushed her into the water, you jealous woman! '
——'Yue'er is gentle and kind, how could she bully you? It's obvious that in order to gain my favor, you will resort to any means! '
——'You jealous woman, your face is extremely ugly! '
Chu Yuci covered her heart, her head turned white, and she couldn't breathe.
It turns out that loving someone is so passive.
There is no such thing as empathy. Only when the swords, guns and sticks that had fallen on Ye Jinxiao were pierced into his body did he realize how painful it was.
"Xiao'er, I was wrong..."
He chased off the carriage, "Xiao'er, I didn't target Ye Qi narrowly, don't be angry."
