Shen Qiaochen followed Xiao Jue walking in the darkness. There was no one around, and she could only hear her own footsteps in the silent alley.
Xiao Jue was dressed in black. He was obviously a slender and tall boy, but he walked quietly, almost blending into the night.
In the dark night, everything around Shen Qiaochen felt strange. She had never had such an experience in her previous life. She could only hear her own restless breathing. Gradually, it seemed that even Xiao Jue's figure in front of her had disappeared. Shen Qiaochen felt an inexplicable fear in his heart.
Suddenly a black shadow flashed in front of him. Shen Qiaochen was startled and couldn't care about anything else.
"Xiao Jue!" she shouted, with a hint of crying in her voice.
There was silence all around, and Shen Qiaochen gradually became panicked. She pinched the corners of her skirt with both hands. She stopped and did not dare to move forward, as if there was an unknown danger hidden in the darkness.
"Xiao Jue..." Shen Qiaochen murmured involuntarily.
…
"What's wrong."
In the quiet night, Qingyue's male voice seemed particularly clear.
With a "pop" sound, a beam of fire appeared in the darkness, and then the young man's handsome face was reflected.
Shen Qiao looked at the other party blankly, "Xiao Jue." She whispered subconsciously, with a grievance in her voice that she had never noticed.
Xiao Jue paused and walked quickly to Shen Qiaochen.
"I'm here." He said softly.
It was rare for the unruly young man to speak softly, and Shen Qiaochen couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
"Hiss..." The familiar pain hit, and Shen Qiaochen subconsciously took a breath of air.
Xiao Jue took a step forward, raised her right hand, and then frowned.
He glanced at Shen Qiaochen, then lowered his head and carefully untied the cloth strip from her hand.
After the wound was exposed, Xiao Jue's eyes flashed with confusion. Even Shen Qiaochen herself immediately looked away. She saw several obvious finger marks on her original wound for some reason, causing the bleeding to stop. The wound opened again and became dripping with blood.
Shen Qiaochen felt a little guilty, she lowered her eyes and didn't dare to look again. She knew it must be Cai Cai. She accidentally clenched her fist hard out of fear, and her fingertips poked the wound on the palm of her hand.
Xiao Jue looked at the wound with blood beads on Shen Qiao's porcelain white palm. He sighed in his heart, carefully removed the original powder and blood, took out the medicine bottle from his arms, and started applying medicine again.
"Don't you know it hurts?" Xiao Jue asked without raising his head.
"It doesn't hurt." Shen Qiaochen replied immediately, and then subconsciously raised a harmless smile: "It doesn't hurt."
Unexpectedly, Xiao Jue raised his head when he heard this, looked at her coldly, looked at her for a moment, and then lowered his head again, "It's ugly."
Shen Qiaochen was stunned for a moment, and then heard him say softly: "If you don't want to laugh, don't laugh."
Shen Qiaochen's smile immediately froze at the corners of her mouth, and she could no longer smile.
…
No one said anything after that. After re-bandaging, the two continued to move forward.
Although he didn't know why he made this man unhappy, but seeing that he was still going to and fro in this unfamiliar alley, Shen Qiaochen still asked bravely,
"Little prince, where are we going?"
"have no idea."
"What about my third brother? How is he?"
"Am I the mother-in-law of your Shen family? After taking care of this, I still have to take care of that?"
"..."
Seeing that Xiao Jue was obviously impatient, Shen Qiao thought for a while and closed her mouth.
He can't sell me.
"Yes, I just plan to sell you."
Shen Qiaochen raised his head suddenly, and it turned out that he had unknowingly spoken out what was in his heart.
She twitched the corners of her mouth, and was just about to smile to relieve her embarrassment, but suddenly thought of something and lowered the corners of her mouth, rolled her eyes at him, turned her head, and walked forward quickly past Xiao Jue.
I only heard a few low laughs coming from behind, and then Xiao Jue's lazy voice sounded,
"You're going the wrong way, it's this way."
"..."
Shen Qiao took a deep breath, then slowly turned around, raised his head, and put on that "poor" smile again.
"Okay, little prince."
Staring at Xiao Jue opposite, Shen Qiao cursed: Don't you like to see it? I have to smile like this for you.
Unexpectedly, the other party's expression did not change at all, and he still looked at Shen Qiaochen calmly, as if he was not the one who just said she had an ugly smile.
Shen Qiaochen suddenly felt a little bored, put away his smile, turned around and walked in the direction he said.
Xiao Jue followed Shen Qiaochen leisurely, but when he was about to walk out of the alley, he raised his hand, and the big cloak in his hand flew towards Shen Qiaochen as if it had eyes...
Seeing that the front suddenly opened up and the lights were bright, Shen Qiaochen breathed a long sigh of relief and finally walked out.
You know, in an environment like the one just now, staying alone with Xiao Jue, Shen Qiao would feel even more stressed even if he lived a heavy life.
She was about to continue walking forward, but her vision went dark, and the familiar scent of agarwood lingered around her again.
In the darkness, she rolled her eyes and angrily pulled up the hood that covered her face. Unexpectedly, she moved too much and pulled off the small crown that had long been in danger without the hairpin.
With a "pop..." sound, the small lotus crown sent by Shen Qiaoran suddenly fell to the ground.
At the same time, the long hair that was originally standing high immediately fell down like a waterfall and spread around her shoulders.
Both of them were stunned. After a long while, Xiao Jue stepped forward, bent down to pick up the black cloak that had fallen to the ground, put it on Shen Qiaochen himself, then reached out and pulled down the hood, hiding it. That black hair also completely covered her little face.
Finally, he patted Shen Qiaochen's hooded head with satisfaction, turned around and walked away.
Shen Qiaochen followed Xiao Jue without saying a word and walked out of the alley. Suddenly, there was a huge buzz of people.
It was as if she had suddenly entered another world, and she was still a little unaccustomed to it.
Subconsciously tightening the black cloak around her body, Shen Qiaochen walked a few steps quickly and followed Xiao Jue closely.
Feeling that someone was approaching, Xiao Jue frowned at first, then smiled when he realized who it was.
Slowing down again and accommodating Shen Qiaochen's speed, the two of them crossed the crowd and walked forward slowly.
Not long after, Xiao Jue stopped. Seeing this, Shen Qiaochen also slightly lifted the hood that covered most of his face and raised his head. He only saw the three characters "Zui Jiang Yue" clearly visible on the plaque in front of him.
Realizing something, Shen Qiao turned his head and looked at Xiao Jue beside him.
…
"What are you looking at?"
"nothing."
"Don't you want to see the float?"
"..."
"In no mood?"
"think."
