Shen Nanbao didn't understand. She thought she had said it clearly and had said it so many times, but why it fell on deaf ears to him.
Is he too persistent, thinking that filial piety can move heaven and love can move people?
Or was it because he didn't take her words seriously in the first place, so he did it again and again?
But no matter which one it was, Shen Nanbao felt extremely irritated.
Relationships between people cannot be achieved by working tirelessly like studying. It requires the right amount of stability and the right amount of instantaneity to leave room for each other to breathe.
She stood up straight, her surprisingly dark eyes shining with clarity and determination, "I can, but can Uncle Xie always treat me like my third brother?"
Xie Yuanchang was startled. Shen Nanbao lowered his head. The wind flowed by his ears and blew away the hair on the temples. She hooked it with her little finger and said, "If you can't, then why bother? Uncle Xie is just a genius. Nature knows better than me how to stop being messed with."
With a small movement, the smooth and plump fingertips were exposed, and the nails without any nail polish were clear and shiny, with a pure and charming style that those young ladies could not match.
Xie Yuanchang looked at it, his eyes dimmed slightly, "Why?"
Shen Nanbao couldn't hear his murmuring words clearly for a moment. He raised his head and frowned softly, "What?"
Xie Yuanchang suddenly grabbed her shoulders and shook her hard, "Is it so difficult to like me? Why can't you like me? Is it because I'm not good enough? Or do you already have someone you like?"
The unexpected action shocked Shen Nanbao. She struggled to get away, so she could only persuade him, "Thank you, uncle, why didn't I make it clear enough? Why do you have to..."
But he didn't listen and tightened his grip on Shen Nanbao, "Then why do you bother? Is it so difficult to try to like me? You also said that I have many qualities, which makes young ladies happy. Why do these young ladies like me so much? No one for you?"
He lifted it so hard that Shen Nanbao felt that her shoulder would be broken into pieces and turned into powder. She cried out in pain, "Thank you, uncle, please calm down..."
What interrupted her was a sharp gust of wind, like a slap. Shen Nanbao couldn't help but close her eyes. She only heard a dull pain. She instantly fell into someone's arms, and the slightly astringent styrax hugged her like a veil. It calmed all the panic in her heart.
Shen Nanbao opened her eyes and slowly turned her head to the side. The cold jawline hit her eyes. She was startled and muttered: "Your Majesty..."
Xiao Yichen quickly turned around and asked, "Are you okay? Are you not injured?"
Shen Nanbao shook her head, but the tip of her nose was inexplicably sore, and she couldn't help but sniff.
Just such a small move, a slight squeak, made Xiao Yichen's face darken. He turned his head and looked at Xie Yuanchang who was lying on the ground. His tone was cold, "Uncle Xie is drunk, or does he still want to go to the palace?" How dare you do such a thing in broad daylight? "
Xie Yuanchang got up from the ground in a puff of dust. When he raised his eyes, he saw the girl he admired being held in someone else's arms. He was filled with overwhelming anger, but he muttered for a long time and said, "Commander? Are you?" Why are you here?"
Xiao Yichen smiled, but his eyes narrowed, "What? Your father became King Su's lackey, and you are so arrogant? Is it your turn to ask me something?"
These words were struck like a stone.
Xie Yuanchang suddenly became excited and hurriedly bowed his head and said: "Commander, that's not what I meant."
Xiao Yichen said, "That's not what I meant, then why didn't you reply to my words?"
The protracted tone fell like a guillotine slowly, and Xie Yuanchang couldn't help but squint. He had heard his father talk about Xiao Yichen at home a long time ago. Those horrific deeds and various methods about Xiao Yichen, every time he talked about it, he could see it in his eyes. A bloody fight unfolded before his eyes.
So his father immediately warned him that whenever he meets Xiao Yichen, he should stay away if he can. If he can't, then be respectful.
After thinking about it, Xie Yuanchang lowered his body even more, and his lowered eyes touched Shen Nanbao's shoes. He didn't know whether it was because of the memory of his previous behavior or because of the current embarrassment, but anyway, his ears suddenly became hot.
He closed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "If I return to the palace, I will..."
Falling down in front of the person you like is probably the last thing any man wants to happen.
Shen Nanbao couldn't bear to see it, so he called the palace commander.
Xiao Yichen frowned, raised his heavy eyes, didn't say anything, just looked at her.
Shen Nanbao curled his lips in discomfort, "Commander, you misunderstood. Uncle Xie and I bumped into each other accidentally."
Hit.
Are you blind when you look at him?
Xie Yuanchang's hands seemed to be embedded in her body. If he hadn't followed her out, I don't know what the situation would have been like now!
Fortunately for her, she didn't appreciate him at all. Instead, she spoke for Xie Yuanchang.
Why, even before you get married, your elbows start to turn outwards?
Xiao Yichen couldn't help but hold her hand tightly.
Shen Nanbao naturally felt it, but what she just said was a shame. She didn't dare to act rashly and could only stand there silently, with her head hanging down, like a child who had done something wrong.
Xiao Yichen's tight lips suddenly relaxed, and he sighed, "In this case, I'm all in trouble. Thank you, uncle, please get up quickly. Don't let others see it. They mistakenly thought that nothing was going on here, so they made a noise in the front hall. It’s not that good to meet new people.”
Xie Yuanchang stood up from the ground tremblingly at this time. He looked at Xiao Yichen holding Shen Nanbao in his arms, as if he was trapped. He stood there, but it was Xiao Yichen who woke him up by saying, "Uncle Xie, I'm talking to you." ! ”
At this moment, Xie Yuanchang's brain was mixed with the eggs in the bowl, which were mixed with chopsticks. He cupped his fists and looked back and forth between the two of them, and finally said: "Commander Xiao and Fifth Sister know each other?"
The three words "Fifth Sister" were like needles piercing into Xiao Yichen's ears. He tightened his hands and squeaked, "I was thinking before, why did Uncle Xie lose weight, but now I know that he is too busy and tired. .”
Seeing that Xie Yuanchang opened his mouth and wanted to speak, he waved his hand and stopped in a bold manner: "Uncle Xie, please go back to the banquet room quickly. Don't stay out for too long, which may upset the countess!"
Xie Yuanchang's face suddenly burned up, he said nothing more, cupped his hands and left.
The hurried look made Shen Nanbao fascinated. It wasn't until she felt a pain in her shoulder that she woke up and glared at the instigator with a frown, "Why are you pinching me!"
Xiao Yichen snorted, "If I don't pinch you, your eyeballs will fall off Uncle Xie. In that case, why don't you follow them?"
Look at this.
What kind of eyeballs have fallen off someone’s body?
Is she this kind of person in his heart?
Fortunately, she thought he was very considerate just now!
Everyone knows how to ask her how she is, but it turns out that this person is just like an opera singer. She talks nicely on stage, but reveals her true colors off stage after taking off her ink. She specializes in stabbing people's lungs and tubes!
Shen Nanbao raised his lips and said, "No, the commander-in-chief just thinks that my eyes are like dead fish eyes. How can I show it if I don't pierce it into someone's body?"
Xiao Yichen thought what she said was strange, "When did I think your eyes were like fish eyes? I'm obviously just angry that you don't look at me when you look at others."
The last sentence was so straightforward that Shen Nanbao's heart suddenly beat like a drum, his face turned red, and his head drooped uncontrollably.
Xiao Yichen later realized what he had said, and there was a war in his heart. Now it was still in chaos. He coughed and stood there, feeling that his clothes were wrinkled for a while, and the collar was tight for a while. After seeing Song Song, he found out the reasons why he had to do the infinite little things. He was bound to get busy right away, so that he wouldn't be embarrassed to look at each other.
As for Shen Nanbao, he twisted a corner of the hem of his clothes with his fingers. It was not enough to twist the hemp rope into a rope. He had to wrap it around his fingertips in circles until his fingers turned green and white.
But this was not an option after all. Although everyone was gathering in the front hall to tease the newlyweds, their son might come over to have a wedding ceremony later. Thinking of the unnecessary trouble, Shen Nanbao took the initiative to speak, "Master, I am ...I feel sorry for Uncle Xie."
Xiao Yichen frowned, "Poor? What's so pitiful about him?"
For Xiao Yichen, in order to get rid of Xie Yuanchang's troubles, he has to use this method to break his self-esteem as a man in one blow. In this way, let alone coming to see her in the future, he will just think of her for a while. Headache.
But she said she pitied him.
Is it possible that she is happy that Xie Yuanchang loves him so much?
Or is it that she is a little happy about Xie Yuanchang in her heart?
Isn’t it as the saying goes, a woman’s initial joy for a man starts from sympathy.
Xiao Yichen was stunned for a moment and wanted to yell at her. Then he remembered the things that made him lose face before. He hurriedly pouted and said in a low voice: "There are so many young ladies who are pitiful. You might as well pity me. I'm the only one." nothing."
Shen Nanbao suffocated and stared at Xiao Yichen in front of him.
It’s not that I’ve never seen him like this before.
Many times he behaves like a child towards himself.
But at that time, no one was honest, so they were like saw-mouthed gourds, not giving in to each other, and there was no other feeling besides anger.
Although this matter came out of nowhere, Shen Nanbao still tasted a bit of vinegar.
She pinched her nose and slapped her in the air with her free hand, "It's so sour."
She must be the one who said it was a slap in the face.
He is still angry!
She actually laughed at herself there.
Although Xiao Yichen felt guilty and scolded her for being heartless hundreds of times, he still had the solemn and arrogant look on his face. He even sniffed calmly and said, "Why didn't I smell it? Miss Five, please don't interrupt." , let me tell you, why do you pity that little uncle Xie? He has more combs than that little marquis Chen, are you afraid that no one will pity him? "
Cao Cao was about to arrive when he heard a slight whisper from the side, "The palace commander has never forgotten me. He was afraid that I would have no time to prepare for floods and droughts. Not only did he send those combs away, but he even talked about me all the time. .”
