Su Huang seemed to turn a deaf ear and continued to drink wine slowly with his head down. His eyes were distant and slightly drunk, like a man standing on the edge of the abyss who was about to fall down.
Ning Chengyuan sighed inwardly. In fact, he could understand why Su Huang was in this situation—
Speaking of which, among their brothers, except for Sheng Qianmo, who has not touched a single leaf on his body, oh no, now even Sheng Qianmo has been stained by a small flower bone. In short, what he means is that they have been on horseback since they were young. Most of the brothers who grew up in school have a clear understanding of emotional matters. For them, women are just for fun and not as important as the battlefield. But Su Huang is different. He has someone in his heart.
That man also gave birth to little Su Su. They all thought that among their brothers, Su Huang would be the first to have a family. At that time, they all saw it in their eyes. Su Huang had the deepest affection for that woman. , but it was later learned that the woman was a spy sent by the Southern Dynasty. After the incident was revealed, she ran away very quickly. Except for little Su Su, she did not leave any nostalgia for Su Huang.
Because of that woman, Su Huang lost a city and was driven to Yandi by the emperor for five years. He was finally able to return to Beicheng a while ago.
Five years have passed. Although Su Huang didn't say it on the surface, Ning Chengyuan could still tell that Su Huang hadn't given up yet.
When Ji Xili came over, he saw Su Huang sitting by the window eating wine. She walked over and stood in front of him and looked at him intently. Su Huang raised his eyes and looked at her as well. A few years later, Ji Xili became more and more depressed. She was no longer the little girl who only talked around Sheng Qianmo. He looked at her and smiled lightly: "Long time no see, Xili."
Ji Xili looked at Su Huang like this, lowered his head and smiled, poured himself a glass of wine, touched his glass, and drank it all in one gulp.
Ning Chengyuan came over just in time to order some food and drinks. When he saw the two of them drinking again, he quickly came over and snatched the wine glass from Ji Xili's hand, "Xili, don't follow the example of a drunkard like him!"
Ji Xili pulled his lips helplessly and asked Su Huang, "How is Su Su?"
Su Huang said "Hmm" casually, took a sip of wine and said, "He's quite well-behaved, but a little clingy. I just came here after coaxing him to sleep."
Ning Chengyuan shook his head and sighed: "Look at this disgusting tone, Su Huang, just be satisfied, we want such a well-behaved Su Su and we can't find one!"
Su Huang didn't smile, but just raised his head and glanced at Ning Chengyuan. There was a hint of coldness in his drunken eyes, which made Ning Chengyuan feel nervous for a moment. He quickly coughed and changed the subject: "Oh, why hasn't Brother Sheng arrived yet? ! Let me go out and take a look!"
When Sheng Qianmo was mentioned, Ji Xili's expression froze for a moment, but then she regained her composure. She sat down across from Su Huang's table and poured herself a glass of wine, but did not drink it. She quietly looked out the window. "How has he been these past few years?"
Su Huang smiled expressionlessly: "Ask me?"
Ji Xili pursed her lips and said nothing.
Su Huang lowered his eyes and filled the wine glass, and said slowly: "In the past two months, he wiped out the Qing Kingdom in one fell swoop. I heard that he brought a female slave from the Qing Kingdom back to the palace on his way back. He should be in high spirits now."
Ji Xili's fingers holding the wine glass tightened slightly, he twitched the corners of his lips, and said softly: "Really..."
