The moon was pale and the stars were sparse, so this was obviously not a good night to admire the moon.
Such a hazy and mysterious night is very suitable for night walks.
Xia Yuanqiu was tossing and turning in the room, unable to fall asleep, and couldn't bear to disturb Zhu Yan who was just dreaming, so he quietly got up from the bed, put on his clothes and left the room.
Standing in the courtyard, she looked up at the bright moon in the sky, which was obscured by thin clouds. The thin clouds were moving with the wind, and the scattered stars were shining with faint light. This day seemed not to be good, and there seemed to be a storm coming. a feeling of.
After standing in the courtyard for a while, she was about to turn around and go back to her room. She suddenly felt a gaze watching her from a distance. She looked sideways, but she only saw a rich and unyielding night, and shadows in the courtyard swaying in the wind. Trembling trees.
Is she overthinking it? She shook her head and walked towards the inner room, but within two steps, the feeling of being watched came over her again. She quickly looked sideways, and in that darkness, she seemed to see a glimmer of light. A hint of brilliance in the eyes.
"who is it?"
That gleam of light disappeared in the blink of an eye, and she ran after it, gaining momentum and passing by the not-so-high courtyard wall. Outside the courtyard, she saw a black shadow flashing away. In that direction, it was the second entrance to the courtyard, where the rented 100 The place where the man from Lifu lives.
She was suspicious, so she raised her legs and rushed towards the second courtyard. As soon as she arrived at the door of the second courtyard, she was stopped by the young man who opened the door for her. In the night, the young man's face could be seen clearly, still as if In the past, he seemed gentle but extremely cold. This kind of temperament reminded her of a person in her heart.
"Young lady came here late at night, there must be something urgent?" the young man asked.
Xia Yuanqiu said: "Of course there is an emergency, please get out of the way first."
The young man shook his head: "Miss, this is the residence of my master. Isn't it inappropriate for Miss to come here late at night?"
Xia Yuanqiu said: "I didn't mean to offend your master, but I just saw a suspicious person breaking into the yard, so I chased him after him."
The young man said: "I have been staying here and haven't seen anyone suspicious. Miss, please go back. Don't make a big fuss. It won't be good for anyone."
Xia Yuanqiu's eyes narrowed slightly. This young man seemed to be warning her something, but no matter what he meant, she had to come in tonight. She wanted to see who the so-called master Qing Hou said was one step ahead of them. When I came to Hulin City and rented this Baili Mansion, what was my intention? .
"I don't care whether you have seen it or not. Anyway, I saw with my own eyes that there was a person sneaking around in the courtyard where I live. I chased him all the way and saw with my own eyes the black shadow entering the second courtyard. What happened today? I also Have to search."
The young man shook his head: "Miss, there are really no sneaky villains in this courtyard. My master only lives there. You'd better come back, so as not to disturb my master, and I will suffer again today."
Xia Yuanqiu said: "Although I have never met your master, as soon as your master is willing to let us live in the yard, I know that your master must be a sensible person. Today I insist on breaking in." , it has nothing to do with you at all, he will not blame you."
The young man shook his head: "That's what I say, but it is my duty to guard this door. If you just broke in, it would be my dereliction of duty. Even if the master does not punish me, I should apologize for it."
Xia Yuanqiu looked at the young man in front of him. The young man seemed to be born with such a calm face, neither happy nor angry. The fact that he could stop her so forcefully and maintain such a calm conversation at the same time could at least prove one thing. .
