At night, I ate with Xu Yong and others.
Originally, Li Qinyuan wanted to take Gu Wuyou to a restaurant for dinner, but there were so many things in the business, Gu Wuyou was reluctant to let him go back and forth, so he just sent someone outside to order food and drinks for them to bring over, and everyone ate some casually.
After eating, Li Qinyuan continued to work, and she stayed in another box to rest.
The ten-day life on board made her tossed so hard, and with Li Qinyuan always in mind, Gu Wuyou had hardly slept well in the past ten days.
I guess she saw someone today, and the big stone in her heart fell. She leaned on the soft couch. She originally wanted to sleep for a while, but she never thought that she would fall asleep after lying down for a while.
By the time Li Qinyuan finished the matter, she would have fallen asleep long ago.
"Squeak-"
The door was pushed open from the outside.
Li Qinyuan walked in from outside, and after a glance, he saw Gu Wuyou, who was lying on the soft slump and curled up like a cat.
As May approached, the weather during the day was getting warmer, but it was still a little cold at night, so she hugged her arms and fell asleep in this way of heating. She probably felt that this posture was not very comfortable. Wuyou's beautiful willow leaf eyebrows were gently twisted.
After burning all night, the candles in the house were tired and piled up on the candlestick like a hill.
The candles are not bright, and some are even dim, but the moonlight outside penetrates the wooden window lattice covered with white paper, allowing the dim interior to be seen at a glance.
Outside, there were footsteps of Xu Yong and other stewards leaving, while inside the room, Li Qinyuan gently walked towards the person after closing the door... The moonlight hit the girl, she was soundly asleep, and he squatted in front of the soft couch , stretched her body for others, so that she would not sleep so badly.
Then he squatted beside her, held her hand, and looked at her.
Xu was really tired, and Gu Wuyou didn't notice Li Qinyuan's existence at all, she just felt that the person holding her hand was very hot, so she couldn't help but want to approach people, and then get closer... She in the dream Do whatever comes to your mind, without feeling shy at all.
She held Li Qinyuan's hand instead and pressed his warm palm to her face, probably because she felt so comfortable. The little face that was a little tight just now was completely relaxed, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but lift up slightly. .
"Why are you so stupid?"
Li Qinyuan let her hold his hand, the other free hand gently caressed her head, his voice was low and hoarse, with a bit of pity, "Isn't it good to stay in the capital? You have to come here to accompany me. suffer like this."
"You still came up with such a method, do you know..."
He opened his mouth, but looking at Gu Wuyou's face, he couldn't say anything. There was pity and joy in his heart, and his cold face softened a little under the moonlight.
He didn't speak any further, and looked at her softly for a while. When he got up, he took off his cloak and put it over the person. After covering the person tightly, he walked out with Gu Wuyou in his arms. .
while holding her.
Li Qinyuan's brows were locked again. The person in his arms was much lighter than before. Thinking of what Manager Xu had said before he left, his arms couldn't help hugging him a little tighter.
Xu Yong and Cong Yu were still downstairs, and when they saw him coming down, they hurriedly called out in a low voice, "Master." Seeing the person in his arms again, because of the cloak, they couldn't see his face, so they could only ask tentatively, "Sleep. already?"
"Um."
Li Qinyuan nodded and instructed Xu Yong, "Go to Suzhou tomorrow, and bring back the brocade of woven clouds that you collected earlier."
Waiting for the person to answer "yes", he turned his head and told Cong Yu, "The embroidery workshop is also watching some, time is running, but the quality of the things must be good, I don't want the goods going out from our Defeng because of the quality. Questions are returned."
When he commanded people, his voice was extraordinarily soft.
But even so, the person in his arms was still like being woken up, frowning and making a soft "uh" sound, when Li Qinyuan heard the sound, he hurriedly coaxed, "Good, it's alright, sleep for a while, we'll be right away. I'm home." I don't know if his words were effective, Gu Wuyou pursed his lower lip unhappily, and then fell back asleep.
Afraid that people would wake up and feel uncomfortable, Li Qinyuan didn't delay any longer, nodded to the two of them, said "you go back sooner too" and walked out.
"This… "
Cong Yu stared at his figure stepping into the night, dumbfounded, "Is this the owner?"
He has been with the owner for a few months, and he has seen the owner quite a few times. He can deal with bandits and bandits calmly, and when he encounters subordinates, he can be fooled and deceived. Li Qinyuan was the first time he had seen him.
Xu Yong also seemed a little surprised, but he had to be calmer in the end. Hearing that, he just said: "Okay, this is the owner's private matter, we just need to take care of our own affairs."
When Gu Wuyou woke up.
Li Qinyuan just took off her shoes and socks, squatted by the bed and wiped her face and hands with a handkerchief soaked in hot water.
She rubbed her eyes dazedly and woke up, seeing the sky blue curtain above her head, she still didn't respond, and when she heard a very gentle voice in her ear, "Awake?"
Gu Wuyou just turned her head blankly, and when she saw Li Qinyuan, the confusion in her eyes was slowly cleared away, her voice was a little hoarse, and she sat up while rubbing her eyes, "Where is this? what?"
Li Qinyuan poured her a cup of tea, then sat beside the bed, looking down at her, "Our house."
He spoke calmly, and there was nothing unusual on his face, as if these words were normal, but hearing Gu Wuyou's ears made her eyes wide open. Very clear, like a confused cat when staring blankly at people.
Seeing her like this, Li Qinyuan couldn't help laughing. He raised his hand and stroked her hair, "What's wrong? Look at me like this."
Gu Wuyou shook his head, looked at him, couldn't help but wanted to laugh again, there was a joy in his heart that couldn't be hidden, the corners of his mouth were raised, he took a sip of warm water, and when his throat was moist, he couldn't help but look at him again. .
Li Qinyuan asked her, "Do you still want it?"
Seeing her shaking her head, she put the water glass aside, stroked her hair and asked, "Aren't you sleepy?"
After sleeping all the way, Gu Wuyou doesn't really want to sleep now, and since they hadn't seen each other for a long time, she wanted to talk to him. She gently pulled his sleeve with her little hand and looked at him with a soft voice. , "I want to talk to you."
Li Qinyuan did not leave.
Afraid that it would be uncomfortable for her to sit like this, he took off his shoes and socks and got on the bed, and pulled Gu Wuyou, who was wrapped in the quilt, into his arms, "What do you want to say?"
Say what
There is so much I want to say to her.
But because there are too many, I can't find the right one for a while.
The evening wind outside was lightly patting the windows, and there was a scent of orchids carried into the house by the wind. Gu Wuyou smelled that fragrance, and his heart suddenly calmed down. , To be by his side like this, everything is enough. He raised his head in his arms and looked at his face reflected under the candlelight. He was much more mature and restrained than before.
If Li Qinyuan in the past was like an unquenchable fire, now he is more like a puddle of water, as if it can hold everything.
"You keep talking about me, and you obviously haven't rested yet." Gu Wuyou gently supported his eyebrows, his tone trembled slightly, and he couldn't hide the love in his eyes.
Li Qinyuan smiled, grabbed her hand and put a kiss on his lips, "I just haven't had a good rest these days, it's not in the way." Afraid that she would be sad about this, he hurriedly changed the subject, "The one where I'm not here. In a few months, will everything be fine in the capital?"
Gu Wuyou nodded.
She didn't speak immediately, for fear that the vibrato in her tone would make him worry, and after she had eased a little, she replied softly, "All right, Jing Yubai will be able to try the head armor, and it is estimated that he has already participated in the palace test, and Fu Xian is going to join the army. , Qi Xu didn't stay in the capital either."
She told people what had happened in the past few months, and when she talked about it, she glanced at people before adding, "Gong Wei went to the border after you left."
Hear this.
The smile on Li Qinyuan's face stagnated for a moment, and he hummed softly after a while, without any extra words.
Long before he left, he had guessed that his father had served the country and the people all his life, and spent most of the year in the borderlands.
"you-"
Gu Wuyou held his hand and hesitated, "Do you still blame him?"
This is the second time they mentioned Li Censhen. Last time, Li Qinyuan told her about the old days, so that she could know why the entanglement between their father and son was so deep, and this time... After a while of silence in the room, Li Qinyuan lowered his eyelids again and looked at the person in his arms.
After a while, he spoke.
There was no anger and unbearableness at the first time. Speaking of this, he seemed a lot calmer. He stroked her long hair and said slowly, "I will never forget the way my mother looked when she left." Gu Wuyou's hesitant face, and the lips he wanted to open, he smiled, stroked her hair, and continued, "But I don't hate him as much as before."
The experience in the past few months has made his mind mature a lot.
He didn't hate Li Censhen anymore.
Even so, he still couldn't forgive him.
Outside, a watchman walked by, the night was silent, and the sound of the watch came into the room through the crack of the door. Li Qinyuan frowned, "It's so late, go to sleep."
Gu Wuyou looked at him and asked, "What about you?"
"I'll leave after you fall asleep." Afraid that she wouldn't be used to the unfamiliar environment alone, Li Qinyuan added: "I'm in the room opposite you, call me if you wake up and have something to do."
"it is good."
Gu Wuyou nodded obediently, and lay down on the bed again, her whole body was trapped in the soft quilt, thinking of something, she suddenly called out, "Li Qinyuan, come here."
"Um?"
Li Qinyuan didn't know what she was going to do, but he still leaned over. As soon as he passed, he was kissed at the corner of his mouth, and looked at her in a daze, but the little girl who kissed him was like stealing a fishy kitten. Yes, the whole person was hidden under the quilt, only two smiling eyes were exposed.
He shook his head amusingly, didn't bother her, and gently stroked her head in a soft voice, "Go to sleep."
Gu Wuyou originally thought that he slept for a while, but now he should not be able to fall asleep anymore, but under his soothing sound, his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he fell asleep after a while.
Li Qinyuan saw that she fell asleep and did not leave immediately. He sat by the bed and watched for a while, and when everyone's breath calmed down, he leaned down and placed a kiss on her forehead, his low voice saying no at night. Out of the magnetism, "Good night."
Li Qinyuan rarely had a good night's dream.
When he woke up, the sun was already rising outside the window, remembering Gu Wuyou, he stretched and got up to freshen up.
He is used to living alone, and usually eats and drinks outside, so he doesn't invite anyone to serve him, but now that there are more people, Li Qinyuan thinks that he should go back to the familiar Yaba to buy a few clever maids and wives. The girl is no better than him. He can't let her endure hardships with him.
But today, let him serve her first.
With a smile on Li Qinyuan's face, he poured a fresh basin of wash water, pushed open the door and went out refreshed, walked to the opposite room, knocked on the door, and said in a gentle voice, "Manman, are you awake?"
No answer.
Haven't woken up yet
After thinking for a while, Li Qinyuan knocked on the door again and reminded, "I'm in."
Still no one answered.
He pushed open the door and walked in. The room was clean, there was not even a figure, and even the quilt was neatly folded, as if no one had ever slept. Li Qinyuan was stunned when he saw this, his face slowly Turning pale, could it be that what happened yesterday was just a dream for him
Gu Wuyou didn't come at all.
It's just that he misses her so much that he has such a ridiculous dream
His heart felt like a piece of cotton stuffed up, and it was uncomfortable. He held the washbasin tightly with both hands and stood in the room. Suddenly, he became depressed and lowered his head, just as he was kicked out by his master. Like a house dog.
"What are you doing standing there?"
A voice suddenly came from behind, asking him in a suspicious tone.
Li Qinyuan was stunned for a moment, then turned his head abruptly, and saw that Gu Wuyou was wearing a light pink robe with a straight collar, a tube top embroidered with broken branches, and a pink bow belt tied around his waist. He was holding a tray with two bowls of hot noodles on it, half tilted his head, and stood behind him and looked at him.
