After walking for about two-quarters of an hour, Sheng Guoer arrived at the door of a mansion in the south of the city.
She stopped and looked around. She didn't notice anything unusual, so she opened the door and went in. This is her private residence.
"Girl, are you back? Come in quickly." The housekeeper came out and said respectfully.
The housekeeper led Sheng Guoer to the hall.
\"Where is the young master?\" Sheng Guoer asked.
\"The young master has gone out. It will take two or three days to come back. The young master has specifically told me that if you come back, you must inform him first.\" said the housekeeper.
\"Oh, okay.\" Sheng Guoer nodded and said.
Sheng Guoer looked around and asked, "Where is my brother? Is he in the house?"
\"No, the young master went to the temple with his wife and old lady to pray for blessings. It will probably take some time to come back.\" said the housekeeper.
Hearing this, Sheng Guoer paused and then said, "In that case, I will stay here and wait for them to come back!"
The housekeeper had a look of embarrassment on his face and said, "Girl, to be honest, the young master said that no one is allowed to enter his yard while he is away."
After hearing this, Sheng Guoer frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "Let's do it! You go and tell him first, and I'll wait for him outside the yard. If he doesn't agree, just tell me and I won't go in." That's it.\"
\"This..." the housekeeper hesitated.
Seeing this, Sheng Guoer said: "What? Is there a problem?"
\"No... no problem.\" The housekeeper quickly agreed.
Sheng Guoer nodded and said, "Then please tell him for me. I will wait for him outside."
"Okay." said the butler.
Immediately, the butler left the hall.
After a while, the butler returned.
The housekeeper bowed to Sheng Guoer and said, "Girl, my young master said it's okay, but he told me that he was practicing martial arts and I hope the girl won't disturb him."
\"Oh.\" Sheng Guoer nodded in agreement.
So, the housekeeper led Sheng Guoer through the garden and straight towards the backyard, finally stopping in front of the stone bench in the yard.
Sheng Guoer sat on the stone bench and waited quietly.
Time passes slowly and night falls.
Suddenly, Sheng Guoer heard a small sound keenly. She immediately stood up and listened.
At this time, a breeze blew by and the branches rustled. Sheng Guoer looked around cautiously, but saw nothing.
She frowned and was about to turn around and leave when she suddenly felt a slight vibration under her feet.
Sheng Guoer lowered his head and saw that his foot was missing and he fell into the pit.
Sheng Guoer screamed in fright. However, the force of the fall became heavier and heavier. Sheng Guoer felt that her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier. Soon, she fell asleep.
When Sheng Guoer woke up again, she found herself lying on a carved wooden bed, with several lanterns hanging on the roof, emitting a hazy yellow light.
Standing beside the bed was a tall and straight man. The man had his back to Sheng Guo'er. His figure was elegant, and his black suit made him even more handsome.
Sheng Guoer struggled to get up, rubbed her forehead, and looked at the man with his back to her.
I saw that the man had short black hair hanging down his shoulders, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, exquisite facial features and sharp edges, and he exuded a cold and domineering aura.
The man seemed to feel the gaze behind him, and he slowly turned around.
When she saw the man's face clearly, Sheng Guoer was shocked.
What a handsome, handsome man!
The man is tall and imposing, with strong and full muscles and a broad and thick chest.
Sheng Guoer couldn't help but swallow her saliva, her eyes sparkling with surprise.
Sheng Guoer couldn't help but sigh to herself: There are such beautiful people in this world! Simply stunning!
The contours of the man's face are soft, making it impossible to find any flaws. A pair of dark and deep pupils, as mysterious as containing endless secrets.
His thin lips were pursed tightly, and there was a slight smile at the corner of his mouth. He looked evil and full of temptation. His long, flowing and thick hair was draped over his shoulders. When paired with a dark brocade robe, he looked arrogant and domineering, as if he were dominating the world. Look down on all living beings.
Sheng Guoer's heart beat loudly.
The man's appearance is handsome.
"Ahem!" Sheng Guoer covered up her embarrassment.
Sheng Guoer coughed lightly and asked, "What's your surname, sir?"
The man glanced at Sheng Guoer and said indifferently: "My surname is Xia."
\"It turns out to be Mr. Xia, my surname is Sheng.\" Sheng Guoer said.
\"Yeah.\" Xia Yunting nodded.
Seeing Sheng Guoer, he thought of that girl, his first love, the woman he had admired since childhood.
Xia Yunting took a deep breath, suppressed her turbulent emotions, and said calmly to Sheng Guoer, "Do you have a problem with me?"
\"Uh...Actually, I don't know what I have to do with you? I just want to...I just want to discuss something with you." Sheng Guoer hesitated.
Looking at the shy girl in front of him, Xia Yunting felt a familiar feeling in his heart, as if he had seen her before. But she was definitely not in his memory.
His eyes fell on Sheng Guoer's abdomen and asked, "Do you have someone you like?"
"Yes..." Sheng Guoer shook her head.
Xia Yunting narrowed his eyes slightly and continued to ask: "Who?"
\"Stop asking!\" After Sheng Guoer said that, she ran out of the yard as if running away.
Looking at Sheng Guoer's disappearing back, Xia Yunting raised a wry smile on her lips.
After Sheng Guoer left the courtyard where Xia Yunting lived, she went to the kitchen.
When the cook saw Sheng Guoer, she asked eagerly: "Miss, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Do you need a doctor to take a look?"
"No need." Sheng Guoer waved her hand. She took some food and put it in the food box, and said to the cook: "Tonight, please bring the food to my room, and help me heat the soup."
"Okay." The cook nodded.
Sheng Guoer left the kitchen and walked to the yard.
Not long after walking, I suddenly saw a person walking over.
The man was dressed in white clothes, as handsome as jade, with handsome appearance and outstanding temperament. Sheng Guoer couldn't help but widen her eyes and blurted out, "Nangong Jue, it's you! Why are you here?"
Nangong Jue ignored Sheng Guoer, crossed the threshold and walked into the yard.
Sheng Guoer quickly picked up the food box and chased after her, asking, "Nangong Jue, why did you come here alone?"
Nangong Jue stopped and turned to look at Sheng Guoer, with a playful look in his eyes.
He raised his lips and chuckled, and asked: "What did you call me just now?"
\"Nangong Jue!\" Sheng Guoer answered without hesitation.
Nangong Jue nodded and said casually: "Yeah."
\"Nangong Jue!\" Sheng Guoer frowned and stared at him in confusion, "Are you deaf? I just told you my name."
Hearing this, Nangong Jue's eyebrows trembled twice without any trace.
"Nangong Jue, what's wrong with you?" Sheng Guoer asked worriedly.
Nangong Jue glanced sideways at Sheng Guoer and said, "It's okay!"
After that, he strode forward.
Sheng Guoer curled her lips and muttered: "Why are you pretending?" After saying that, she quickly followed him.
Nangong Jue walked quickly and soon left Sheng Guoer far away.
Seeing Nangong Jue disappear around the corner, Sheng Guoer stopped, pouted her rosy mouth, and secretly complained in her heart:
Huh, stinky Nangong Jue!
She'd better return home quickly!
This Nangong Jue is so terrifying!
...........
Xia Yunting lives in a courtyard in the north of the city.
Although the other courtyard is not as gorgeous as the Prince's Mansion, it is better than the quiet one.
The courtyard where Xia Yunting lives is called [Bamboo Garden].
The layout of the Bamboo Garden is simple and simple, but exquisite everywhere.
Sheng Guoer carried the food box, pushed open the ajar door, stepped into the Bamboo Garden, and then closed the door with a 'click'.
At this time, Xia Yunting walked out of the room. He was wearing a black robe embroidered with pythons and a belt of the same color around his waist. His dark hair was tied up with a gold crown, and a strand of dark hair hung down to his forehead. He had a gentle smile on his face and looked particularly approachable.
\"Nangong Jue, you are willing to come back.\" Looking at Nangong Jue in front of him, Xia Yunting said teasingly.
Nangong Jue walked to the table and sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and said, "Things have been quite busy recently."
\"Really? I heard from the housekeeper that you even forgot to eat. How can you not be busy?\" Xia Yunting said.
"Butler?" Nangong Jue frowned. Why didn't he know there was a butler beside him?
\"Oh, by the way, I forgot to introduce you. This person's name is Uncle Lin, who is responsible for your food and daily life.\" Xia Yunting pointed at an old man standing behind Nangong Jue and said.
Nangong Jue glanced at Lin Bo and said nothing.
\"Haha... you guys chat first.\" Xia Yunting smiled, turned and walked away. Not long after Xia Yunting left, Nangong Jue ordered people to prepare bath water. He had not bathed for several days.
After taking a shower and putting on a clean and tidy crescent-colored brocade robe, Nangong Jue sat at the table drinking tea and looking at the scenery outside the window.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Xia Yunting walked in with food.
"Nangong Jue, hurry up and eat! I have made a lot of your favorite things for you these days." Xia Yunting said with a smile.
Nangong Jue didn't say anything, just watched silently as Xia Yunting put the food on the table.
There are not many dishes in Sheng Guoer. Apart from two or three dishes, there are only four vegetarian dishes and a bowl of chicken porridge.
Xia Yunting glanced at Nangong Jue and saw that his expression did not change, so he picked up a piece of tofu and fed it to Nangong Jue's mouth.
Nangong Jue turned his head to avoid Xia Yunting's movement.
Xia Yunting took back his chopsticks and said, "Are you afraid of being poisoned?"
Nangong Jue remained silent and did not speak.
His reaction made Xia Yunting more certain of his guess.
"Okay, since you are so unwilling to touch vegetables, I won't feed you." Xia Yunting said, picking up another fish fillet and feeding it to his mouth.
He chewed it, swallowed it, and said with satisfaction: "It tastes really good!\"
After saying that, he reached out to pick up the second dish with chopsticks.
\"That's enough.\" At this time, Nangong Jue uttered two words coldly.
Sheng Guoer was stunned for a moment and looked at Nangong Jue.
\"Nangong Jue, do you want to eat it or not? I've already given it to you.\"
Nangong Jue raised his eyes to look at Sheng Guoer, then lowered his head.
\"If you don't eat, you will fall down.\" With that, Sheng Guoer put down the bowl and chopsticks and walked away angrily.
Looking at Sheng Guoer's angry back, Nangong Jue felt a strange feeling in his heart.
He had never been treated like this by anyone since he was a child.
But now, he was not angry, but rather uncomfortable.
He didn't know why this happened.
\"Hey, what's wrong with me? Could it be that I was really made stupid by that girl?\" He murmured to himself.
Nangong Jue shook his head and continued eating.
...........
As soon as Sheng Guoer returned home, she couldn't wait to run back to her room and locked the door tightly.
She opened the closet, rummaged through it, and finally found a pink gauze skirt.
She happily put on her clothes and was about to go out, but suddenly thought of something, she returned to the room and lay down on the bed.
She took out a luminous pearl from the space, illuminated the entire room, and then closed her eyes to rest.
After a while, Sheng Guoer felt a familiar breath approaching, and she opened her eyes suddenly.
She jumped out of bed in surprise, ran out of the room, and pounced on the figure.
\"Nangong Jue, is that you?" Sheng Guoer looked at him in surprise.
Nangong Jue lowered his head and glanced at the girl rushing towards him, and smiled slightly: "Guo'er, you are very beautiful today."
Sheng Guoer blinked and said with a smile, "Thank you for the compliment.\"
She paused and asked, "Where are we going?"
Nangong Jue said: "You will know when you go there."
Sheng Guoer pouted and said dissatisfiedly: \"
