The night was already deep, Xiao Ji listened to the sound of rain outside, lifted up the quilt and went to bed. As soon as he lay down, the door was pushed open, accompanied by a cold wind with dampness, and the bed curtains were shaken by the wind. , making a subtle noise that was masked by the wind.
The only candle in the house was blown out by the wind, and the house fell into darkness.
The sound of rain outside became increasingly clear.
Xiao Ji sat up suddenly and shouted angrily: "Who?"
Fu Yuanxiao ran all the way in and came to the bedside. When she heard Xiao Ji's voice, she hugged him and Nuonuo said: "Husband, it's me."
Just as Xiao Ji was about to push away the woman holding him, he heard Fu Yuanxiao's voice and paused his hand in the air.
He frowned, unable to bear being held in such an intimate position.
Xiao Ji pursed her lips tightly and endured, "Why did you come to this king if you stayed up at midnight?"
Fu Yuanxiao buried her head in Xiao Ji's chest. In her eyes, Xiao Ji was her husband and her family, so she thought of him immediately.
"I am afraid."
Only then did Xiao Ji realize that the person in her arms was shaking violently. His hands pressed on her shoulders, which felt a little cold and clammy. She must have been wet by the rain while running.
He grabbed Fu Yuanxiao's arm and lifted her onto the bed.
"You sit on the bed first, and I will light the lamp."
Fu Yuanxiao nodded tremblingly, "Yeah."
Xiao Ji got up and got out of bed. After putting on her shoes, she went to close the door first, then took out the fire stick and lit all the lights in the room.
The originally dark room suddenly lit up.
Xiao Ji put away the fire certificate and looked back at Fu Yuanxiao on the bed. He saw that she was wearing a pink middle coat, her arms were hugging her knees, her chin was buried between her legs, and her body was shaking violently.
If you run out in such thin clothes, no wonder you are shivering from the cold.
He strode over, pulled up the quilt on the side and wrapped it around her thin body. It was wrapped tightly, leaving only a small face as big as a palm exposed.
"Is it warmer?"
Fu Yuanxiao curled up in the quilt and nodded tremblingly.
Xiao Ji raised her head and looked outside the door. The rain hit the eaves, making a crackling sound.
The rain was so heavy that it was impossible to send her back.
He looked back at Fu Yuanxiao and saw that her shoulders were shaking, still shaking violently.
"Why are you still shaking?"
Fu Yuanxiao raised her wet peach blossom eyes and said, "Husband, I'm afraid."
Xiao Ji sat down beside the bed. Under the candlelight, under her moist eyebrows, her peach blossom eyes glowed with pity. He coaxed in a gentle voice: "Okay, Xiao'er is not afraid."
When Fu Yuanxiao saw him sitting down, she could no longer control herself and threw herself into his arms. The quilt on her body also slipped off due to her movements.
"Husband, I'm so scared."
The scene I saw when I was six years old was a lingering nightmare, and it was also a night with wind, heavy rain, lightning and thunder.
Even after so many years, I still feel uncontrollable fear.
Xiao Ji stiffened and looked down at the person in his arms. His body was still shaking. He took a deep breath, pulled up the quilt and covered her again.
This was the first time I saw her so scared. Could it be that the lightning just now frightened her?
He paused, then hugged her across the quilt and continued to coax: "Don't be afraid, Xiao'er, I am here."
The heavy rain outside the house has not stopped, and it is rare for Xiao Ji to be so patient in coaxing someone.
He thought that it was to compensate her for helping him.
Evened out.
Fu Yuanxiao wanted to lean into the warm embrace and felt at ease.
When she was six years old, she was so scared that she hid in the closet in the dark night. She really wanted her family to hold her like this and reassure her not to be afraid.
But at that time, her father was away from home, her stepmother didn't like her, and her eldest brother and sister also hated her.
She hid in the closet alone until dawn.
When he was discovered, he was already burned out.
I don't know how long it took, but the person in my arms stopped shaking.
Xiao Ji remained in this position without moving, thinking that he would wait for her to calm down before pushing her away.
After a while, Xiao Ji felt that the little fool's mood had stabilized, so he slowly pushed her away, but she didn't react at all.
When he looked down, he saw that her eyes were closed and her breathing was shallow. She was obviously asleep.
When she fell asleep, she was as peaceful as a child.
Xiao Ji gently laid the sleeping woman flat on the bed, tucked her in, and looked down at her, "For the sake of helping me recently, I will let you sleep on the bed once, and I won't do it again!" "
It was very cold after sitting for so long in my middle coat late at night.
Xiao Ji got up and went to the closet, took out a quilt and put it on the couch in the outside room, where she would spend the night.
Early the next morning, Baozhu finished his work and went into the back room to wake up Fu Yuanxiao. He opened the bed curtain and found that there was no one on the bed. He hurriedly went out and looked around, but he didn't see Fu Yuanxiao either.
Seeing Cui'er, she asked urgently: "Cui'er, have you seen the princess?"
Cui'er shook her head, "I didn't see it."
Baozhu turned around anxiously, "Where did the girl go this morning?"
When Fu Yuanxiao woke up, she stared at the unfamiliar top of the bed for a while. There was a strong wind and lightning and thunder last night, and she seemed to have come to find Xiao Ji.
She took a look at the bed she slept on last night. It was larger and darker than her bed. Even the bedding was darker.
Seeing Fu Yuanxiao wake up, Zhuo Hua slowly came to the bed and said, "Princess, my servant will wait for you to get up."
Fu Yuanxiao looked at the maid in front of her. She was wearing a light green dress. She was dressed differently from ordinary maids. She had a few pearl flowers on her temples and a white jade hairpin stuck sideways.
Beautiful features and tall figure.
"Where has the prince gone?"
Zhuo Hua replied: "Your Majesty went to the study after breakfast."
"Oh." Fu Yuanxiao lifted up the quilt and got up, getting dressed under Zhuo Hua's attention.
She looked down at the clothes she was wearing, they didn't look like her own.
Zhuo Hua saw Fu Yuanxiao's doubts and said, "Princess, these clothes are new. The prince ordered the slaves to get them."
Fu Yuanxiao looked down at the clothes on his body. They were relatively plain in color and quite nice-looking.
"So that's it."
After Fu Yuanxiao got dressed, she returned to Chu Yuwan.
As soon as he stepped into Chu Yuwan, he saw Baozhu crying anxiously.
"Baozhu, what's wrong with you?"
When Baozhu saw Fu Yuanxiao, he was stunned for a moment, then ran over and held her hand, choking and saying: "Girl, where have you been? You scared me to death."
Fu Yuanxiao didn't expect to be able to sleep after being so frightened last night. Seeing Baozhu's eyes turning red from crying, he felt a little embarrassed.
"I went to see the prince last night."
She didn't know what happened last night, so she went to find Xiao Ji without thinking.
Bao Zhu choked and moved for a moment, as if he had discovered something big.
"Did the girl sleep with the prince last night?"
"That's right?" Fu Yuanxiao fell asleep in Xiao Ji's arms last night. When he woke up, Xiao Ji was no longer there.
There is only one bed in the room, so they must be sleeping together, right?
She suddenly remembered something. Xiao Ji seemed to have said that bedfellows should take off their clothes...
