"Nothing." The man's voice was lazy.
His eyes were so dark and shiny that they shimmered under the dim candlelight. They seemed to be smiling but not smiling, which made people's hair stand on end for a moment.
Slender fingers traced the side of his neck. Under the graceful curve, there was a delicate collarbone, as beautiful as a piece of porcelain, but in such a beautiful body, there was a ghostly and restless heart.
"Tsk, I just discovered it suddenly." He squinted his eyes, raised his lips, pinched her chin, and scratched the soft flesh on her chin with his fingers: "For example, I have a cat, who is usually well behaved. She's so cute, I really like her, but one day I discovered that she also has canine teeth and sharp blades."
"Surprise me...surprise."
Her scalp was numb for a moment, and she moved her hips, trying to get off him, but he clamped her waist with one hand.
She swallowed and looked directly into his eyes: "I'm not a cat."
He was noncommittal, and kept squeezing the hand on her waist. He was not annoyed by the cat's stubborn retort, but instead felt a sense of novelty, just like when he found out that he had always raised a docile and kind-hearted cat. His pet turned out to be so similar to him in some ways, and he felt a sense of satisfaction and satisfaction in his heart.
It always surprises him.
The fear that suddenly sprang up and went out like a small flame was just a fleeting moment in my heart.
Just like what kind of master brings out what kind of disciple, what kind of parents raise what kind of children.
She was his work, his hard work, something that belonged entirely to him.
He said "Huh", leaned on the desk, and called Wei Ning in with a loud voice.
Pointing to the eight treasure box on the table, "Give it to Qiu Xiaoyun and ask him to deliver it."
"Yes." Wei Ning left holding the eight treasure box.
Shen Yinxiao has been sitting quietly, not looking at things that he shouldn't look at, and not asking about things that he shouldn't ask. His expression is indifferent, but his facial features are naturally rich. Even if he is sitting still, it makes people feel pity.
In the atrium of Chunfeng Tower, the music was changed one after another. The babbling sounds were faintly accompanied by the silk and bamboo orchestral strings. The song was "Meng Jiangnu". The sad and tragic words paired with the ups and downs of the tune added to the excitement of Xiaodali. A somewhat indescribable injury.
"The spring breeze ruffles the water in the pond,
The bright moon in the water was shattered into chaos.
My heart is wrinkled like the wind,
My thoughts are filled with sorrow and I am full of knots about spring. "
"The New Year will be celebrated in a few days." He ruffled her hair and asked, "Is there anything you want for the New Year?"
She was stunned, shook her head, and said again: "Is anything okay?"
Seeing her eyes wide open, like a curious and surprised lion cat, the smile on his lips did not diminish: "Once a word is spoken, it is hard to chase it back."
She looked at his expression, and it didn't look like he was perfunctory with her, so she took a breath and said solemnly: "General, can you promise me something?"
"Tell me." He casually picked up the glass of wine she hadn't finished, raised his neck, and drank it all in one gulp. The Adam's apple under his skin bulged, rolling up and down in a seductive arc.
After saying that, he felt that he was being too talkative, so he added: "As long as it's not too much."
"It shouldn't be too much." She murmured, pulling on his sleeve, straightening up, leaning forward slightly, looking into his eyes with sincere pleading.
In the eyes of men, it looks more like coquettishness.
"General, can you promise me that no matter how I make him unhappy in the future, he will not anger my parents. They don't know anything. If the general is angry, just punish me."
He didn't realize that all she wanted was a guarantee.
Still such an inexplicable guarantee.
She really needed his reassurance.
Seeing that he didn't speak, she felt anxious and squeezed his sleeve tighter: "Okay?"
He sneered; "Okay."
The ending sounds rising, unnaturally doting.
"Is there anything else? Apart from this, is there anything else you want?" He shook the empty glass, and she immediately reacted and picked up the wine bottle to fill it up for him.
The green plum wine that his daughter's family likes to drink has a rich fruity flavor and a surprisingly light taste. But it's a fresh drink. He really enjoys the way she serves him like this. He drinks another glass and hears her muffled voice.
"there is none left."
The smile on the man's lips disappeared.
The wine in his mouth became even more tasteless.
He put the cup on the table and looked at her: "I really don't want anything more? There is only one New Year in a year."
She had mixed feelings in her heart, sour and astringent emotions came to her mind, and her nose was a little sore. When she looked up again, her face was calm. She smiled sweetly: "Then, general, please accompany me to set off the river lanterns."
Before going out, he thrust the bunch of candied haws into her hand.
She was not wearing a cloak when she arrived. Although there were several sets of cloaks he gave her in her wardrobe, she had almost never worn them. Ordinary homes were not like rich families surrounded by servants. There was no special person to take care of the expensive clothes, so leaving them at home would be a waste. Became a burden.
He put his dark fox fur cloak on the shelf on the side on her body, led her downstairs and out of the gate of Chunfeng Tower in full view of everyone.
"Go buy a river lantern..." He was about to tell Wei Ning to do it when the sleeve on his hand was pulled again.
"Shen Yinxiao, can you speak? If you want to speak, just speak. Your tongue is frozen?" He turned back to look at her.
She shrank her head into her fur collar, rolled her eyes secretly, pointed to the street not far away that was full of night markets filled with stalls, and whispered.
"I want to pick my own."
He took a look and saw that it was crowded. There were indeed several stalls with bamboo poles and various river lanterns hung on them.
There are green shrimps, butterflies, rabbits, tigers, colorful.
He doesn't like to join in the fun in these crowded places. Firstly, it's better to hide assassins in such places. Secondly, he feels that he is a person of status after all. It's really a bit annoying to crowd together with a group of ignorant people to buy things. Lost my identity.
After all, there was a group of military subordinates behind him.
He hesitated for a moment, then looked down, and saw that the girl next to him was looking up at him, with the shadow of the lamp reflected in her dark eyes, and his slightly impatient face.
Forget it, who calls it a holiday today?
His frown relaxed, he took her hand, squeezed it, and said lazily: "Let's go."
Asking Wei Ning and others to wait where they were, he took Shen Yinxiao to the small stall selling lamps. The owner of the stall was an old woman with white hair. She had a kind smile and glanced at the hand of the former. , then looked at the clothes of the two of them, and took out the most expensive thousand-petal lotus lantern: "The husband and his wife are so beautiful. Let's buy a lantern to release the animals. It's New Year's Eve tonight. The river spirit is here, so let's light the river lantern." Just a wish, my wife and husband’s wish will come true!”
These words sounded pleasant to the ears, but Wei Cheng had heard flattery all his life, so he was not surprised, but he still took out a golden melon seed and threw it to the stall owner. The stall owner was overjoyed, thanked him repeatedly, and said a lot more Lucky words.
When Shen Yinxiao heard what she said about Mrs. Lang Jun, she smiled awkwardly and took her hand out of his.
She looked at the lamps. Each one was so beautiful that she didn't know how to choose.
"Ma'am, look at this." The old woman handed her the store's treasure, intending to make a killing tonight.
"I'm not Madam." She smiled and took the light.
The old woman paused, then looked at Wei Cheng, who was standing aside, and quickly changed the subject: "I'm blind, but my wife and husband are so eye-catching that I thought they were a couple of gods."
