Li Qinyuan stood at the door. He didn't know how many times he read the Qingxin Sutra before he was able to suppress the filthy thoughts in his mind. He just breathed a sigh of relief when the sound of water inside suddenly made a loud rush, followed by clothes rubbing together. rustling sound.
His heart was tense, his face was tense, and the hands on both sides of his body were pinched into fists by him, and the heartbeat that had just calmed down suddenly continued to "plop plop".
This... should have been washed.
Sure enough, after a while, Gu Wuyou called him, "I'm fine."
"… it is good."
Li Qinyuan took a deep breath, his hand trembled a little when he put it on the door, but he still pushed in through gritted teeth.
The house was filled with hot steam, especially the screen, which was white and misty, like a fairyland, so that people could not see anything at first glance. Poke it away, and then take a light step and breathe and walk inside.
It was close, and I couldn't see the figure behind the screen. It was a little far away that Gu Wuyou's sleepy voice came, "It's late at night, don't let them come up to fetch it, wait until you check out tomorrow. Time to let them clean up."
She should have been lying on the bed, and she sounded like she was going to sleep.
Naturally, Li Qinyuan had no reason not to. He replied softly, "Okay," and wanted to go to the soft couch to lay his quilt. He walked over and took a look. It was clean, not even a pillow.
He looked at the canopy bed behind the screen, hesitated for a while before calling her in a hoarse voice, "Manman."
"Um?"
Gu Wuyou closed his eyes and sank his small face into the pillow.
When she came, Bai Lu prepared a lot of fragrances for her, one of which was for calming the nerves, just because she was afraid that she would not be able to fall asleep outside. She had sprinkled a few drops on the pillow before, but now there is that calming fragrance all around.
She sniffed lightly, and the nerves that had been tense for a few days loosened up. She was in a daze. Although she was still responding, she was actually almost asleep.
"My bedding..."
"Well, here it is, it's already paved." Gu Wuyou yawned again as he spoke, and his closed eyes were even more reluctant to open, and his voice became lower and lower, until finally It's too light to smell, "Go to sleep after you wash up, don't talk to me, I'm so sleepy."
Li Qinyuan suddenly didn't know what to say.
He stood there for a while, and walked over lightly after a while. Sure enough, he saw that there were two quilts on the shelf. One of the brocade quilts that he had just cleaned up was already filled with people.
There was no candle beside the bed, only the light from a distance came in through the screen, and one could see that Gu Wuyou was sound asleep.
She was lying on her side with one hand behind her ear, her small figure was barely visible under the thick bedding, only the exposed half of her face could tell that there was someone lying here, she looked very good and quiet when she slept. , There was no sound at all, only the pink lips were slightly open, as if breathing.
And there was a quilt and a pillow beside her, next to her.
As long as he lay down, he could be close to her, and he could even turn his head and kiss her on the forehead in a big bed.
Li Qinyuan only had to think about it, and his heartbeat couldn't stop beating quickly. For fear that his loud heartbeat would wake Gu Wuyou, he quickly put his hand on his heart, as if this would stop the heartbeat.
What's the use
That heartbeat like a drum, as long as he sees her face, it won't stop.
The night was silent.
The candlelight flickered slightly in the distance, illuminating the place in half-light and half-darkness.
Taking the quilt away at this time will definitely wake her up, Li Qinyuan thought, she has been tired for so many days, and finally got a good night's sleep, so don't wake her up.
If it's a big deal, he'll just lie down all night in his clothes, he can't be awake and still be that bastard.
Thinking like this, his tense heart chords relaxed. He didn't say anything. He bent down and tucked the quilt for her, and went outside to wash up. Only then moved cautiously onto the bed.
I thought my movements were light enough, but the person who had slept well thought he was sensing something, and without opening his eyes, he leaned towards him a little, and asked him in a daze, "I'm done washing up. ?"
"… Um."
Li Qinyuan's tone was blunt, his whole person didn't seem to be sitting or lying down, so he froze there, not knowing what to do next.
"Cold," but the little girl beside him didn't know his entanglement at all. Instead, she moved closer to him like a moth to the light, "Hug."
Li Qinyuan, who was originally very stiff, turned pale when he heard this.
He lowered his head, and when he saw the two hands that were as soft as bones, he put them on his waist. The person who had slept well now has a small half of his body leaning on his side. Fragrant taste.
How could this make him calm down
The heartbeat was particularly clear in the silent night, and the desire that had just been suppressed with cold water suddenly rose again.
Li Qinyuan looked at Gu Wuyou with a bitter look on her face. She seemed to feel that this posture was not very comfortable, and also felt that the exposed half of her shoulders was too cold, so she frowned, sniffled in unhappiness, and went back to Move closer in his direction.
I don't know how long this torment has passed, and there is a very light sigh in the room.
Li Qinyuan looked down at her for a long time, and finally pulled her into his arms with the blanket on, and patted her back lightly with his palms, soothing her. When her brows were stretched, he lay down on the bed. He didn't let go of the person, he just hugged him in such a half-embracing way.
I don't know how many days it is outside.
There is no watchman here. From this angle, he can see the moonlight outside the Xuan window. The white light is sprinkled on the ground, and he can see that there are still some water stains there.
The person in my arms is very fragrant, not those rich rouge gouache, but a very good smell of flowers.
Li Qinyuan originally thought that holding her like this would definitely deserve those charming thoughts, and maybe he would become a shameless bastard, but he didn't expect to really hold her in his arms and lie on the same bed, listening to her evenly. Breathing, he had no idea what to do.
Even the heartbeat became calm.
He lowered his head and looked at Gu Wuyou, who was sleeping soundly in his arms. The impetuousness on his body had long since disappeared, only peace and stability remained. He looked at her like this. The moonlight reflected on his face, which was usually sharp. At this time, it was indescribably soft.
In her inaudible breathing.
Li Qinyuan put a light kiss on her forehead, and then closed his eyes.
No dreams.
Waking up is already three poles in the sun.
The quality of the inn's curtains was too poor. Li Qinyuan was uncomfortable with the white light outside the window. He opened his eyes unhappily. The first thing he saw was a pair of smiling Xing'er's eyes. Come here last night, he slept with Gu Wuyou.
The long-lost shyness rose directly from the bottom of his heart to his face, and that handsome face became hot this morning for the first time ever.
"You..." When the voice came out, even he was hoarse, coughed lightly, and finally cleared up, Li Qinyuan pretended to be calm, looked down at the person in his arms, and said as usual, "Why did you wake up so early? "
When Gu Wuyou heard this, he couldn't help laughing, "It's getting late, I've already had breakfast."
What
Li Qinyuan was stunned for a moment, and sure enough, he saw that the person in his arms was dressed neatly.
He has always been shallow, and usually only the slightest sound can wake him up. Today, not only did he not hear the sound outside, but he didn't even notice that she had woken up.
Gu Wuyou looked at his stunned expression, then smiled and rolled his eyes.
She didn't speak. After getting up from his arms, she pulled his arm down and said to him with a smile, "Get up, I've already brought you breakfast, we still have to go on our way."
"… Oh."
Li Qinyuan was stunned, like a puppet, she could do whatever she asked, and when Gu Wuyou brought him the robe, did she wake up and said with a blushing face, "Give it to me."
Gu Wuyou refused to give it, still bent his eyes, looked at him and smiled, "I'll wear it for you."
She looked in high spirits, and Li Qinyuan was not easy to stop her, so she could only stand up stiffly and let her get dressed.
There is a huge difference in height between the two. When they were standing, Gu Wuyou only reached Li Qinyuan's shoulders. It was not difficult to get dressed, but she stood on tiptoes, but she didn't feel so tired at all, as if she was used to it. Bring some... long time no see.
The light-blue embroidered gentleman's bamboo tunic has a lake blue cross-neck tunic inside, and you can vaguely see the innermost tunic.
On the waist is a black belt inlaid with silver hook and cloud patterns, with a purse and a hollow bell to ward off evil spirits.
When it was done, Gu Wuyou led him to the bronze mirror again and asked him to sit down, while she stood behind him holding a comb and combed his hair for him.
Today, Li Qinyuan was going to meet a client to discuss business, so naturally he should not dress up too immaturely, so Gu Wuyou tied all his hair up for him and tied it with a gray tie with silver hair.
After finishing this, Gu Wuyou looked at Li Qinyuan, and stood aside for a moment in a daze.
"What's wrong?" Li Qinyuan calmed down after a long time. Seeing her startled through the bronze mirror, he turned to ask her.
"what?"
Gu Wuyou regained his senses, looked at Li Qinyuan who looked more calm and elegant in this way, smiled and shook his head: "It's okay." She just felt that all this was too long ago, and she hadn't dressed him for a long time.
There is contentment and joy in my heart.
Without waiting for Li Qinyuan to ask, she took his hand and said, "Let's go, let's have breakfast, if you don't eat it, it will be cold."
Li Qinyuan let her hold his hand, but there was a hint of doubt in his heart. He always felt that something was wrong with her, especially when he looked at him earlier, he always felt that there was nostalgia and long absence, he lowered his eyes and looked at her again. At a glance, she found that she was still the same as before.
perhaps,
Is he thinking too much
Maybe it's because he hasn't rested for a few days.
Thinking of this, Li Qinyuan also abandoned the doubts that were not deep, and went to the dinner table with people.
Wait until breakfast is over.
They went downstairs. Lin Qing and others had been waiting in the hall for a long time. Seeing them coming down, they got busy and bowed their hands to them, "Master, ma'am."
"Yeah." Li Qinyuan nodded, held Gu Wuyou's hand, and returned to his usual appearance, "Let's go."
"Yes!"
…
This time, they did not stop on the way, but directly entered the Shaoxing city gate.
Earlier, Li Qinyuan had already sent someone to talk to Shaoxing. They had just entered the city gate when a man in his forties greeted them.
He was wearing a blue cloth straight robe and a square flat towel. When he saw Li Qinyuan, he made a long bow and said politely: "Boss Li, this old man is the steward of Huiyi Silk and Satin Village. The boss came here today and specially asked the old man to wait here."
"Miss Zhou."
Li Qinyuan bowed his hands to the person, his voice was not too slow or slow, and his tone was gentle, "Then I'll ask you to lead the way for us."
"Ai."
Zhou Song responded with a smile, and bowed his hands to the person again, and then got on his horse.
After about two quarters of an hour, Zhou Song made a soft "squeak", dismounted first, and said to Li Qinyuan, "Boss Li, please come in, our boss is waiting for you inside."
Li Qinyuan nodded, glanced at the door plaque, his eyes moved slightly, he didn't say anything, got off the horse, but didn't immediately follow the people in, but walked to the carriage, said a few words to the people inside, and then brushed it off. After brushing the hem of his clothes, he turned around and went in with someone.
