Caixing's appearance was both joy and sorrow for Bai Yanqing.
Fortunately, she finally showed up, but sadly, her appearance this time may mean that we will not be able to see each other for a longer period of time...
"Since you left, why did you come back?"
Bai Yanqing took Cai Xing's hand and thought about it again and again before asking her. Bai Yanqing had a lot to say and wanted to ask Cai Xing, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she didn't know where to start! I only picked one. I asked the one I wanted to ask the most first!
"Caixing couldn't bear to leave Miss! Caixing heard that Miss was sick because of me, and felt guilty and distressed! Then...he tied up Mo Ran and came back in her place to see Miss! I originally thought of taking one look and leaving, but... …Seeing that the young lady is so seriously ill, Cai Xing really can’t bear to leave!”
Caixing wiped the corners of his eyes and said with choked sobs.
Bai Yanqing sighed slightly: "If you look back so willfully, will you... delay important events?"
"How does the lady know..."
Cai Xing raised her head suddenly, and with the meager candlelight, she tried to find something on Bai Yanqing's face.
Bai Yanqing grabbed Cai Xing's hand, opened her palm, and then caressed the palm of Cai Xing's hand. The scar that had already scabbed over her hand, and she asked with some distress, "Does it hurt?"
Caixing nodded, and then shook his head hastily. It hurt, but it didn't hurt either.
"When I was five years old, we sneaked out of the house to play. Then we got lost and stood on the street for a long time. It was a boy in plain clothes who gave us red bean cake and sent us back. Baifu. That was the first time I tasted a different kind of red bean cake. It did not belong to the capital of Chen Kingdom. When I was eight years old, I was sent out of Baifu by my grandmother, and you followed me and came here. That day, we When I first arrived here, I remember that there was a young man in plain clothes, across a large wheat field, his eyes skipped the waves of wheat, and he stared at us for a long, long time... Later, I met him in Doctor Hua's medicine house. ! He is a cold person, but the moment he saw you, he exuded a strong warmth! I still remember the look in his eyes when he looked at you! Warm and restrained!"
Bai Yanqing held Cai Xing's hand and noticed her tightened fingers.
"As early as when you were sent to my mother, Lingyu had already left his hometown alone and was hiding in the dark, silently guarding you!"
Bai Yanqing's words made Cai Xing's expression change slightly.
"About your life experience, when did you know about it? Or... you actually knew it all along!"
Bai Yanqing tilted her head, stared into Cai Xing's eyes, and asked directly.
Cai Xing was stunned. After a long time, Cai Xing spoke again: "Doctor Hua told me a few years ago."
"So... you already knew it!"
Bai Yanqing lowered her eyes, feeling slightly lonely.
Caixing's words also indirectly proved that she had known her life experience for a long time!
"I...Caixing didn't mean to hide it from the young lady! It was Doctor Hua who said that this matter is of great importance, and the fewer people know about it, the better. If the young lady knows about it, she may be killed!"
Caixing was afraid that Bai Yanqing might misunderstand him, so he hurriedly explained.
"I see!"
Bai Yanqing nodded and did not blame Cai Xing for not reporting what he knew. Thinking about it for a moment, if it were Bai Yanqing herself, for the sake of Cai Xing's safety, she would not tell Cai Xing these things!
"when are we leaving?"
"At the latest...tomorrow night!"
"So, are you here to say goodbye to me tonight?"
"Today is Miss's birthday, Cai Xing wants to come and give Miss a gift."
After Cai Xing said this, he took out a small wooden box from his arms!
Bai Yanqing took the wooden box from Caixing's hand, reached out and touched the patterns carved on the wooden box. The more she touched it, the more weird it seemed!
This wooden box...
Bai Yanqing hurriedly opened the wooden box, and there was a luminous pearl inside!
Bai Yanqing held the luminous pearl on her fingertips, looked up and down, and looked at it over and over again! Then, under Cai Xing’s surprised gaze,
Bai Yanqing jumped out of bed decisively and extinguished the last candle in the room!
In the dark room, Bai Yanqing raised the luminous pearl high and faced it against the wall. On the wall, a golden dragon leaped up unexpectedly!
"Caixing, where did you come from, this night pearl?!"
Bai Yanqing turned back quickly. With the dazzling white light of the night pearl, she stared at Cai Xing closely. Her eyes seemed to swallow Cai Xing!
"Miss, Cai Xing can't tell you! All Cai Xing can tell you is... you must keep this luminous pearl!"
After Cai Xing finished speaking, he stood up and started to walk out. Bai Yanqing stretched out his hand to pull her, but the moment she walked out, Bai Yanqing stopped her hand!
Even if Cai Xing is captured now, what about in the future? After all, she has her own way to go!
"Don't worry, miss, Cai Xing won't leave now."
Cai Xing paused for a moment, then turned around and walked out. Then, he thoughtfully closed the door tightly for Bai Yanqing.
Bai Yanqing stared at the closed door for a long time. It's been so long that Bai Yanqing is in a daze. When did Cai Xing grow up quietly?
Bai Yanqing put the luminous pearl given by Cai Xing into a box, put it away close to her body, and then lay down peacefully.
That night, Bai Yanqing slept well!
Early the next morning, Cai Xing knocked on Bai Yanqing's door under Yuan Li's strange eyes! .z.br>
"Cai...Xing?!"
Yuan Li was surprised and looked at the girl holding hot water in front of him, with uncontrollable shock in his eyes! What did she miss? In just one night, Mo Ran disappeared and Cai Xing appeared!
"You read that right, it's me!"
Cai Xing turned back with a smile and glanced at Yuan Li, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes!
"When did you come back?"
Yuan Li put away his shocked expression, and his eyes suddenly shone brightly! Cai Xing is back, does she have something delicious to eat again?
"last night!"
Bai Yanqing opened the door and answered for Cai Xing.
last night?
Yuan Li scratched her head. Why didn't she remember anything strange happening in the courtyard last night?
"Miss, wash your face!"
Caixing walked towards Bai Yanqing with hot water in hand. Bai Yanqing stretched out her hand, squeezed out the hot handkerchief in the basin, and applied it to her face. The warm veil awakened Bai Yanqing's energy all day long!
"Miss, let Cai Xing comb your hair!"
Caixing glanced at Bai Yanqing's hair and spoke slowly.
"good!"
Bai Yanqing smiled and nodded in agreement, but did not refuse. She knew very well that today was the last day that she could get along with Cai Xing like this. After today, it's time for Cai Xing to do what she should do!
Caixing's hands are still as skillful as ever. Bai Yanqing's hair was twisted and turned in Cai Xing's hands thousands of times. When she looked at the bronze mirror again, her high bun was beautifully braided and yet still aura!
Bai Yanqing nodded with satisfaction and shook his head from side to side a few times. His bun showed no signs of loosening at all.
"Thank you for your skill! No one else can make a bun like this!"
Bai Yanqing turned around, took Cai Xing's hand, and looked at it carefully. With such skillful hands, I will no longer be able to braid my own hair in the future!
A bit of reluctance flashed through Bai Yanqing's heart.
"What delicious food did you make for me today?"
When Bai Yanqing raised her head again, her face returned to its usual look, and she smiled gently.
"Miss, come with me!"
Caixing pulled Bai Yanqing and walked out the door until she reached the kitchen door.
In the chimney, there is smoke rising.
Walking into the kitchen, there is steaming mist. The aroma of rice noodles mixed with the aroma of vegetables instantly aroused the greed in Bai Yanqing's stomach!
"Is it a dumpling?"
Bai Yanqing looked at the stove, where there were several plates of fat and round dumplings. She felt slightly sad, but she still pretended to be surprised.
Looking happy, he ran towards the stove!
Go out for dumplings and go home for noodles.
Bai Yanqing naturally understands this truth!
Bai Yanqing took a pair of chopsticks, picked up a fat white dumpling, and put it into Cai Xing's mouth. This first dumpling should be given to Cai Xing!
Then, Bai Yanqing picked up another dumpling and put it in his mouth!
The thin dumpling skin is filled with fillings. When you take a bite, the juice of the fillings bursts in your mouth!
"Miss, get some vinegar."
Cai Xing knew that Bai Yanqing didn't like eating greasy things this early in the morning. Among the dumpling fillings, pork is added to Caixing. If you eat too much, you will feel a little greasy! Dip some rice vinegar and adjust the taste, it will be better!
Bai Yanqing nodded, picked up another dumpling, dipped it in some rice vinegar, and put it in his mouth. The sweet and sour taste of the rice vinegar offset the greasiness of the meat filling. It had a different taste when eaten in his mouth!
"Go and call Yuan Li over and ask her to come over and eat some too!"
Bai Yanqing said to Cai Xing. Caixing nodded in agreement, then turned around and ran outside.
I wonder if there was too much smoke in the kitchen, which made Bai Yanqing's eyes blurry! She looked at Cai Xing's back, silently raised her hand, and quietly wiped away the moisture from the corners of her eyes.
What Bai Yanqing didn't see was that the moment Caixing turned around, the hot tears in her eyes covered her cheeks in an instant!
Cai Xing sniffed his nose, wiped away his tears, and then pretended to be relaxed and ran to Yuan Li: "Yuan Li, the lady wants you to eat dumplings!"
Yuan Li glanced at Cai Xing's reddish eyes and hesitated to speak.
"Go quickly! The dumplings will get cold if it's too late!"
Cai Xing was afraid that Yuan Li would see something, so he hurried forward and pulled Yuan Li towards the kitchen.
Yuan Li stared at Cai Xing for a long time, but still didn't speak.
In the kitchen, Bai Yanqing had already brought several plates of dumplings to the small table aside, then placed the vinegar dishes, waiting for Cai Xing and Yuan Qi!
"Yuan Ji, come here quickly, it's time to eat dumplings!"
Bai Yanqing greeted Yuan Li. Yuan Li was a little confused, but he still walked over!
Bai Yanqing and Cai Xing were both very strange today, so strange that even Yuan Li noticed something was wrong! Originally, it was already very strange to eat dumplings this early in the morning, but what was even more strange was that Bai Yanqing actually set out a few wine glasses!
"Miss, what are you doing?"
Caixing looked at the wine glass on the table and frowned.
"How can such delicious dumplings be without good wine?"
After Bai Yanqing took Cai Xing and Yuan Li to sit down, she went to the cupboard and dug up the wine jar.
"This is sweet-scented osmanthus stuffed rice! That's it!"
Bai Yanqing found a jar of wine, opened it under the surprised gazes of Cai Xing and Yuan Li, and then poured a glass of wine for herself and Cai Xing and the others!
"I'm happy today, let's have a drink! It's okay!"
Bai Yanqing knew that Cai Xing was worried about her health, so she smiled and said.
Caixing was silent.
"By the way, where is Mo Ran? Do you want to call Mo Ran over and let's eat together?"
Yuan Li suddenly remembered that besides the three of them, there was also Mo Ran in this courtyard!
"Mo Ran...will come back tomorrow!"
Bai Yanqing glanced at Cai Xing, then turned around, looked at Yuan Li with a smile, and explained.
Yuan Li nodded. As a subordinate, it is his duty to do things for his master.
The happiness on Bai Yanqing's face, in Yuan Li's eyes, only meant that she saw Cai Xing, and she was so happy that she didn't think about anything else.
