It's late at night and everyone is asleep.
Luo Qingzhou lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
The little girl in my arms is already fast asleep.
After killing the two ghost slaves, he could not calm down.
If he had not happened to read those books and practiced spiritual cultivation, he would probably never have known in his entire life that there were such sneaky things in the dark.
The mystery and complexity of this world were obviously beyond his expectations.
In addition to mortals and warriors, there are also powerful soul cultivators.
In addition to monsters, ghosts, and various monsters.
If he had been like before, only thinking about studying and getting ahead, he would have turned into a cold corpse by now.
The eldest lady will definitely not let this go.
But he didn't understand, now that he had left Chengguo Mansion and married into Qin Mansion, and would no longer pose any threat to her son's things, why the other party still wanted to kill him.
Is it just to vent your anger
Or... because of this marriage that they had arranged
Thinking about her performance when she first returned home, as well as Luo Yu's gaze that day, and thinking about Luo Yu's attitude later, Luo Qingzhou felt that his guess should be correct.
Otherwise, there would be no need for her to spend so much time and money to deal with him, a small person who she always regarded as an ant.
When her son saw Miss Qin's beauty and Xia Chan's strength, he suddenly regretted it.
She regretted it too.
Then…
No one else can get the good things that her son can't get.
Especially him, a little bastard who she always thought should live in the mud and be trampled on by everyone all his life.
How could he be entitled to what should have belonged to her son
He doesn't deserve it.
He didn't even deserve to think about it.
However, they were too clever and made things worse, and he got...
Also, her son is currently preparing for the exam. If he really has a problem with this marriage, then...
Therefore, she would try every possible means to completely destroy him.
If he didn't die, her precious son would continue to suffer.
"Huh..."
The north wind was howling outside the window and the snow seemed to have stopped.
Luo Qingzhou was lost in thought and had no desire to sleep at all.
I lay in bed for a while, feeling really uncomfortable.
He got up carefully, tucked the quilt into the little girl's bed, put on his coat, went over, opened the window and looked outside.
The snow had indeed stopped.
A chill came over him, landing on his face and neck, a slightly icy feeling that made him more awake.
Um
His eyes suddenly focused and he looked towards the pear tree in the yard.
There was a figure standing there!
She was wearing a light green dress, her black hair reached her waist, she was slender and cold, her arms were crossed over her chest, holding a sword in her arms, she stood there silently, motionless, like a statue.
Luo Qingzhou almost didn't notice it.
What is she doing here in the middle of the night
Isn't it a stomachache
Luo Qingzhou was puzzled and hesitated for a moment. He closed the window, put on his clothes, opened the door and walked out.
The wind was still strong in the courtyard.
The girl under the pear tree leaned sideways, turned her face away, and looked away motionlessly, as if she didn't notice him coming out.
Luo Qingzhou walked closer and bowed, "Miss Xia Chan, is there anything I can do for you?"
The girl's pretty face was cold, and she remained in the same posture as before, motionless and silent.
Luo Qingzhou looked up at her, thought for a moment, and said, "Miss Xia Chan can't sleep?"
The girl still didn't speak.
Seeing that her face was a little pale, Luo Qingzhou advised: "It's cold outside, Miss Xia Chan is not feeling well, you should go back quickly."
"snort!"
The girl finally spoke, but it was just a cold snort, still turning her pretty face away and looking away.
Luo Qingzhou couldn't figure out what she was thinking, nor could he see through her inner words. Seeing the cold night wind, the girl's face became even uglier. After thinking for a while, she turned around and went to the kitchen, took out the stove from the corner, and lit a charcoal fire.
After a moment, the fire was lit.
Luo Qingzhou shouted at the kitchen door: "Miss Xia Chan, if you can't sleep, come in and warm yourself by the fire. It's cold outside."
The girl still stood in the cold wind holding the sword, with a cold face, and ignored him.
Luo Qingzhou reacted and said, "Miss Xia Chan, it's cold outside, please come in and warm yourself by the fire."
I'm used to it anyway.
Moreover, when he returned home, this girl helped him vent his anger; when he went to Chengguo Mansion last time, this girl followed him to protect him.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon.
By then, he and Miss Qin might have to go to Chengguo Mansion and would need her to accompany them.
Although this girl's personality is not pleasing, she is still quite useful.
So just go along with her.
"snort!"
The girl snorted coldly and finally moved.
Luo Qingzhou quickly moved aside and retreated into the kitchen.
The girl entered the kitchen, held the sword, and stood in front of the stove, still as cold as ice.
Luo Qingzhou moved a small stool and placed it behind her, saying, "Sit down. I'll go get you a cup of hot water."
After saying that, he left the kitchen and went to the living room.
There is a stove in the living room to keep hot water.
Luo Qingzhou took the cup, poured a glass of water, and returned to the kitchen.
In the kitchen.
The girl had already sat down, still holding the sword, with a stern face. When she saw him come in, she turned away and looked away.
Luo Qingzhou handed over the hot water in his hand and said, "Miss Xia Chan, drink... please drink some water."
The girl didn't answer.
Luo Qingzhou had no choice but to carry it himself and stand by.
Um
He suddenly saw another small stool placed next to the stove, with an empty space between her and him.
However, he clearly remembered this small stool, which was clearly placed in the corner just now.
Could it be...
He glanced at the cold girl in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and walked forward and said, "Um... Miss Xia Chan, can I sit down?"
The girl turned her face away and said nothing.
If there is no hum, it means you agree.
Luo Qingzhou held the teacup and sat down on the small stool. He glanced at her profile and wanted to speak, but didn't know what to say.
No matter what I say, I get no response.
The most you get is a “humph”.
And there is always the risk of angering her.
So... it's better to shut up.
Two people sat in front of the stove, one holding a teacup, one holding a sword, one looking at the stove, and one turning his face away, all silent.
The night passes quietly.
The temperature from the stove slowly spread in the dimly lit kitchen, quietly warming the silent and strange man and woman.
"Um, are you cold? Do you want me to put on some clothes?"
"It's getting late, why don't you go back to bed?"
"It's almost dawn..."
Luo Qingzhou said these three sentences the whole night, but received no response.
When it was dawn.
The girl finally stood up, holding the sword, and left coldly, still without leaving a word.
Luo Qingzhou sat for a while before turning off the stove and returning to the house.
Then he undressed, got into bed, crawled into the quilt, and hugged the warm and soft little girl.
It's really tiring.
Instead of sitting there in a daze all night, wouldn't it be nice to just hug the little girl and kiss her in bed
He kissed Xiaodie's smooth shoulders, wrapped himself in the quilt tightly and closed his eyes.
I slept until almost noon.
After lunch, he went to the stone chamber at the bottom of the lake to practice.
When I came back in the evening.
Xiaodie had already brought back a sumptuous dinner, and then told him, "Master, Sister Bailing just came. Sister Bailing said that she had a nightmare last night and was afraid to sleep alone, so she asked me to go over and sleep with her tonight."
Luo Qingzhou was stunned when he heard this: "What else did she say?"
Xiaodie thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "That's all. Sir, I'll warm your quilt for you tonight, and I'll go over after I've warmed you up."
Luo Qingzhou hesitated for a moment and said, "No need, you should go earlier."
Xiaodie agreed without thinking too much.
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head to eat, thinking to himself: She should have known that I suspected her, right? So she deliberately tricked Xiaodie over tonight to create an alibi, and then when Xiaodie fell asleep, she might suddenly sneak over again... to sleep with me
mean!
