His body was very dirty, he knew that he only dared to sleep for a while every day when he went all the way north to find her, he didn't have time to take a bath, even eating was done on the way. Leaving the capital. He dealt with the affairs in Jiangxia City as quickly as possible, and then went all the way north to follow her trail.
He didn't know where she was going, but he had calculated the distance reported by Wang Yanxin, and he looked for her everywhere like crazy, but there was no trace of her anywhere, and he was almost desperate in his search. Seeing that the stipulated date for his return to Beijing is getting closer and closer, if he can't find Gu Yuqi again, he can only return to the palace tomorrow to return to his command.
Heaven is sorry. After he arrived in Kuizhou, he overheard someone talking about the Liang Mansion in the south of the city, and how beautiful the mistress and lady of the Liang Mansion were.
In the Liang Mansion in the south of the city, he knew that Gu Yuqi's mother's surname was Liang, so he asked someone to find out. It happened that this family surnamed Liang had just moved here. Du Xia felt his heart start beating violently again. He had sneaked over during the day, and when he saw Zhang Lan and Zhao Wu, his heart flew up instantly, she was indeed here.
For the first time, Du Xia experienced what it means to live like a year and what it means to sit on pins and needles. For the first time since he left Beijing, he longed for the sun to go down quickly.
Really waited until night, he lingered outside Gu Yuqi's window for a long time, never daring to disturb her.
He had wanted to see her. It was enough to know that she was all right.
When she was in Jiang Xia, she didn't let him see the last time before parting, but now, she didn't need to know that he was coming. Because he was afraid of seeing the slightest bit of displeasure in Gu Yuqi's eyes.
He has been looking for her for a long time...
When he saw Gu Yuqi standing in front of the window, he couldn't bear it anymore, and jumped out from the dark, knowing that he would scare her. Therefore, preventive measures are prepared in advance.
When his hands were on her lips, his heart seemed to melt.
The joy in her eyes made him instantly feel that all the hardships he had suffered before were worth it.
If she is well, it will be sunny.
He was pulled onto the bed by her, and his heart was about to pop out of his throat. This is her bed, surrounded by her warm and fragrant breath, intoxicating.
He looked around curiously, wanting to see what's special about the lady's embroidered bed, but suddenly found that his body was too dirty, and there were several black, black, yellow and yellow marks on the white silk quilt he pressed. , He felt panic for a while, and immediately shrank his hands and feet. I want to group myself into a group.
Rouge was outside, so he couldn't make any noise, so he could only touch Gu Yuqi's bed as little as possible.
But he still made her unhappy.
His heart sank deeply, and he also lowered his head. He bit his lips lightly, and suppressed the bitterness in his heart, "Don't you want to see me?" He asked softly Dao, then sighed silently, he stood up, "I just came to see you, now I see it. I'll go first."
Let's go, let's go, he should have taken a look at her, made sure she was well, and left immediately without a trace. He didn't want to be a burden to her, and he didn't want her to feel that he was very annoying.
He glanced back at the place where he had done it. The white silk brocade quilt had been slightly discolored by the soil on his body. He hurriedly wanted to help her wipe off the dust, but he was afraid that his hands would be too dirty. On the contrary, if the quilt is stained, it is not right to reach out for a while, and it is not good to not reach out. Du Xia has never felt so sad.
"Why did you come?" Gu Yuqi stood in front of him, looked at the cramped young man standing in front of her, and asked again.
The young man turned his face to look at Gu Yuqi in astonishment, "I..." He kept me talking for a long time, but I couldn't say anything else. What is he going to say? Because of worry, because of fear, because of longing? Yes. It's miss!
"Why?" Gu Yuqi asked persistently, her eyes were fixed on the boy's dark eyes, as if she would not let him go unless she got the answer she wanted to know.
"Because... because I'm afraid that something will happen to you." The young man was forced by her scorching gaze to have nowhere to hide. He could only lower his eyelids and let his slender eyelashes cover his beautiful eyes. He was just like a child who did something bad. I couldn't lift my head up, and didn't dare to look at Gu Yuqi. "I saw a throwing knife on the prince's table, which was sent along with Wang Yan's letter. I asked others, it was a hidden weapon of Reincarnation Pavilion. I was afraid that something might happen to you, so I came here."
There was no sound in the room, and time seemed to freeze at this moment. Gu Yuqi looked deeply at Du Xia in front of her. He seemed to be an excellent and qualified secret guard. Gu Yuqi didn't know how long he had been lurking by her side. With her skill, she didn't notice his existence at all.
It is impossible for Yun Ke to give Du Xia a holiday alone and let him come to see him. Yun Ke warned her not to provoke Du Xia, and she was not allowed to see Du Xia again.
She did it, but now that Du Xia is here, she is standing in front of her alive, with a dusty body all over her body.
It's impossible for Gu Yuqi not to see that her silk was stained by the dust on his body. How far did he drive to find this place from the capital
"Is it because you are afraid that something will happen to me?" Gu Yuqi asked in a concentrated voice.
"I..." Du Xia suddenly raised his head and looked at Gu Yuqi.
The girl in front of her was wearing a white gauze dress, her black hair was hanging casually behind her, carrying an indescribable beauty. She seemed to be a little more beautiful than when I saw her two months ago. That kind of natural beauty made her gorgeous and compelling eyebrows soften, and the shining candlelight reflected on her smooth skin, bringing A hazy beauty.
He looked at her, and she also looked at him intently, her gaze as deep as the sea.
Du Xia wanted to tell her that he came because he missed her. But when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back.
Gu Yuqi looked at Du Xia, and saw his lips parted, and finally pressed together tightly. Her heart also seemed to relax suddenly. She didn't know what she was expecting, but she knew she was afraid to hear other words from his mouth.
"When are you leaving?" Gu Yuqi sighed silently in her heart, and softened her voice. Forget it, she didn't want to care about why he came, the important thing was that he came. He was afraid that something would happen to her, so he came to see her and appeared in front of her as a friend.
Gu Yuqi said this to herself.
"Tomorrow at dawn." Du Xia also heaved a sigh of relief. The aggressive gaze in the girl's eyes had disappeared. Say it all.
Master Chang said that as a secret guard, you can't be emotional, because if you are emotional, you will be weak, and if you are weak, you will be caught as a weakness.
Until just now, Du Xia understood one thing, Gu Yuqi was his weakness.
"So fast." Gu Yuqi murmured, "Then do you want to sleep tonight?"
"I don't want to sleep." I just want to look at you, but Du Xia didn't say the last half of the sentence, but held it in his stomach.
"Are you hungry?" Gu Yuqi asked again.
"I..." Du Xia hesitated, he should be very hungry, but when he saw Gu Yuqi, it seemed that the feeling of hunger disappeared. Now being mentioned by Gu Yuqi, his stomach grumbled in disbelief, and Du Xia blushed immediately. He really hasn't eaten well all the time, and has been on his way.
Gu Yuqi felt that her heart was going to melt, she was so smart, she didn't know what Du Xia had gone through in order to find her, no one had ever done such a thing for her. And he did it, just because she helped him because of her own selfishness when he was young.
Gu Yuqi instantly felt ashamed. Everything she did to him before was just because she already had insight into his future, in order to make her life better in this life, so she did it. But he really put her on the tip of his heart.
He is like a transparent crystal, but his heart is like the darkest sand.
"I'll take you out to find something to eat." Gu Yuqi took Du Xia's hand, his hand was very rough, with a hint of coldness.
Du Xia's heart trembled suddenly, and he felt her soft and slippery hand hold his big hand tightly, the feeling really shocked him so much that he couldn't even pull out a word.
"Aren't you... not angry with me?" Du Xia asked cautiously, he was very uncomfortable, his body was really dirty, sweat and dust were mixed together during the day's journey, the smell on his body must be very bad now . But she was as clean as morning dew, with an intoxicating fragrance on her body.
"How could I be angry with you?" Gu Yuqi sighed, her eyes dimmed a little, she was only angry with herself.
He's too good, and she's too bad...
"I... I'm dirty." Du Xia breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Gu Yuqi wasn't angry with him. He was really scared to death just now, because he was afraid that she would tell him to get out.
"Let's go. Go wash up." Gu Yuqi said with a smile.
"I'll just go by myself. You wait for me..." Du Xia said quickly, overjoyed. After finishing speaking, he hesitated, and asked again worriedly, "Will you wait for me?"
"En. I'll wait for you here." Gu Yuqi smiled. The more he behaved like this, the more sour her heart became. But she still pulled herself together and smiled at him.
The boy's eyes brightened instantly, "I'm fast." After he finished speaking, he walked quickly to the window, pushed it open, jumped out as lightly and nimbly as a black panther, and immediately disappeared into the darkness.
Gu Yuqi slumped down on the edge of her bed in a daze, staring straight at the slightly opened window, she couldn't help frowning.
what to do? What should she do
She is not a fool, so why can't she see the yearning for her in the boy's eyes.
If Yun Ke was not reborn in this life, and she and Yun Ke had no intersection, then she would gladly accept it and be complacent. But now, Yun Ke is destined not to let her go, if she still provokes Du Xia, she will bear a deep sense of guilt in her heart.
Obviously can't give him anything, but still give him hope, give him hope, isn't this deceiving him
But facing his gaze, facing Du Xia who traveled thousands of miles and defied hardships to find her, how could she speak out her heartless words.
God! For the first time, Gu Yuqi felt what it meant to be self-inflicted.
She should ruthlessly drive him away, why did she soften her heart just now... Du Xia has a bright future, how can she become a stumbling block to his future and hinder his development. Come to Asia Island.
But she really can't say it.
Gu Yuqi was so entangled that she wanted to tear her long hair. After thinking over and over again, Gu Yuqi still let out a long sigh. No matter what, he made a special trip to see her, at least to show his kindness as a landlord first. As for unfeeling, let's wait until tomorrow morning to talk about it.
At that time, he was leaving too, and Gu Yuqi also guessed that he didn't have much time, so it would be best to leave the words at that time.
Gone, gone, gone, I hope that time will dilute everything, and when he sees her again, he will be indifferent to her.
Gu Yuqi stood up, took out a coat and put it on, then casually gathered her long hair and tied it into a braid.
When Gu Yuqi tidied herself up, she heard Du Xia's voice coming from the window again. This time he didn't come in, but stood outside and whispered, "I'm fine."
So quickly, Gu Yuqi hurriedly dropped the comb and walked to the window. Sure enough, Du Xia, who had changed into a new outfit, stood in front of her refreshed. His long hair had also been washed, and the ends were still dripping. When he touched the water, there were still drops of water on his smooth skin, which was crystal clear.
"Let's go out and find something to eat." Gu Yuqi also jumped out of the window, took Du Xia's hand and jumped onto the front of her house.
The good smell of saponins from Du Xia's body came from around, and they walked out of the compound of the Liang Mansion with a few ups and downs.
Walking side by side on the empty street, Du Xia was in a great mood, the corners of his lips were always upturned.
From time to time, he peeked at the girl beside him, she seemed to be worried, but she was willing to accompany him out, which was better than anything else.
It was already late at night, and few restaurants in Kuizhou City were open. They walked side by side for a long time before they saw a noodle shop with candles on the side of the street, and the door was only half closed.
Gu Yuqi took out a silk scarf to cover her face. She made such a high-profile appearance before, maybe someone would recognize her.
Du Xia also didn't want Gu Yuqi's appearance to be noticed too much, because she was so beautiful.
The two walked over quickly, "Boss, are you still doing business?" Gu Yuqi asked.
"Do it, do it. Where will you not do it? As long as there are customers, I will continue to do it." The boss is a middle-aged man with a short stature, and greeted him enthusiastically, "What do you two want to use?"
"If you're good at something, just bring it up." Gu Yuqi said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, I just made lo mei, cut some for you two." The boss nodded immediately and said, "Two more bowls of chicken noodle soup, okay?"
Gu Yuqi looked at Du Xia with questioning eyes, and Du Xia nodded immediately.
For him, it doesn't matter what he eats, the important thing is that Gu Yuqi is with him.
Soon a neat plate of lo mei was served, followed by two bowls of hot chicken noodle soup.
Only then did Du Xia feel that he was really hungry. He smiled embarrassedly at Gu Yuqi, and said softly, "I'm starting to eat." After seeing Gu Yuqi nodding, he immediately started eating .
These days, he almost didn't know what real food tasted like, and he was always on his way. When he was really hungry, he would eat two mouthfuls of dry food and drink some water. Now the noodles and lo mei in this small shop are not just delicacies from mountains and seas to Du Xia.
He quickly finished his portion, Gu Yuqi was not hungry, and immediately pushed the portion in front of her to Du Xia.
Du Xia took it in embarrassment, but still ate it with big mouthfuls.
"This little lady is very lucky." The boss who was watching from the side smiled and said, "Your husband is so young and can eat so well, he must be a good hand at work."
The two of them were awkwardly on the spot. Du Xia felt happy, ashamed and worried that Gu Yuqi would get angry. He wanted to explain, but he couldn't bear to explain. He could only bury his face deeply in the bowl.
A trace of sourness flashed across Gu Yuqi's heart, but she was not prepared to explain anything. In such a late night, the two of them went out together. If they weren't husband and wife, they wouldn't know what people would think of them as.
Seeing that Gu Yuqi had no intention of explaining, nor did she show signs of anger, Du Xia's heart was filled with sweetness, and even the face buried in the sea bowl had a big smirk on it.
He drank all the noodle soup in threes and fives, and only then did he feel a little full.
Gu Yuqi was surprised, he could eat so much, where did he eat all the food, his stomach didn't seem to be bulging at all, and his waist was still so tight.
Alas, there is a kind of person who just eats and doesn't get fat, it's really pissing off!
"Don't you want to eat?" Du Xia just remembered that Gu Yuqi had given him all her own things, and she had been sitting here watching him eat, and asked embarrassingly.
"I'm not hungry..." Gu Yuqi said with a smile, then turned her eyes and said to the boss, "How much is it?"
"No more than 50 Wen is enough." The boss said with a busy smile.
Fifty coins is really not expensive. Just as Gu Yuqi was going to touch her purse, she saw Du Xia took out some broken silver and put it on the table, "Here."
"I..." Seeing that Du Xia was rushing to pay, Gu Yuqi was about to say that she was coming when Du Xia dragged her out of the shop.
"I wish you a happy couple." The boss leaned out from the half-open shop and greeted.
Du Xia also waved to him, he was in a good mood, and there was an uncontrollable smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Where are you going next?" Gu Yuqi asked.
"I don't know." Du Xia was slightly taken aback, and looked around in a daze. He was not familiar with Kuizhou City, and it was his first time here. "Are you tired?" Du Xia asked cautiously.
He was very contradictory in his heart. He was afraid that Gu Yuqi would be tired, so he hoped that she would go back to rest, but he was also afraid that if Gu Yuqi went back to rest, he would be left alone.
This really made Du Xia not know what to do.
