Yu Qingluo was startled, and almost subconsciously, she squatted down, picked up the letter and started to retreat.
However, before she could bend down, her body suddenly fell into a warm embrace.
Yu Qingluo blinked hard, then blinked again, feeling the familiar smell passing through her nose, and her eyes heated up.
She hurriedly lifted the gauze hat on her head and stared at the familiar person in front of her in a daze, speechless.
"Qing'er..." Ye Xiudu took a deep breath and placed his fingers on her face, stroking her face. "It's really you."
"Why are you here? You, how did you...how did you know it was me?" Yu Qingluo's voice became hoarse. After not seeing each other for a few days, Ye Xiu lost a lot of weight, even his cheeks were sunken, and there was a blur under his eyes. Green and black.
As expected... he worked extremely hard.
Ye Xiu held her waist alone, buried himself in her neck and took a deep breath. His breathing was very unstable and heavy, as if he was trying desperately to suppress his emotions.
After a long time, Yu Qingluo heard his low voice, "I was on the west side of the city and saw your figure getting on the carriage, so I followed you."
Even though she was wearing a gauze hat, even if it was just a glimpse, Yu Qingluo's back had already been engraved in his eyes and heart, and there was no reason why he couldn't recognize her.
Ye Xiu said alone, his arms around her waist tightening a little more.
Yu Qingluo was a little painful from being strangled by him, but she didn't push him away. She just gently put her hands on his shoulders and said in a low voice, "You look bad."
"Well, it's very bad. I can't sleep in the middle of the night, and I can't sleep even with Nannan by my side. What should I do?"
Yu Qingluo felt extremely sad for a moment. Ye Xiudu's appearance made her heart clench into a ball. The hand on his shoulder couldn't help but tighten. Yu Qingluo felt her throat was dry, and it took her a long time to speak out, "Didn't I give you a letter last time? Didn't you receive it?"
"I got it, but it's really just a letter, not you." What's more, in order to prevent the letter from falling into the hands of others, he took it and burned it without even thinking about it.
Yu Qingluo stopped talking. A letter could only be a message of peace. What could be more reassuring than a close embrace between two people? Even if there's a letter on her tree, that's...
Wait, Yu Qingluo pushed him away quickly.
Ye Xiudu frowned instantly and looked at her dissatisfied. Then he reached out to pull her and held her in his arms again.
He doesn't want to be separated from her for a minute now, it's best to hold her together like this forever.
But Yu Qingluo pushed him away again, embarrassment flashed across her face, she coughed lightly and whispered, "There is someone."
How could she forget that the little beggar was still there
Ye Xiu was stunned for a moment, and then he followed Yu Qingluo's finger and saw a child not far away who was slightly taller than Nan Nan.
The child turned his back to them and stood outside the alley, as if he was watching out for them.
Ye Xiu raised his eyebrows alone, thinking that this child was quite smart, he knew what he shouldn't look at and didn't listen to what he shouldn't hear.
Yu Qingluo's face turned red, and she seemed to have gotten carried away just now.
"Let's change the place where we talk." Ye Xiu said alone, put his arms around her waist and left.
Yu Qingluo hurriedly grabbed him, patted his shoulder and said, "Don't be so hasty."
Ye Xiudu's face was livid, could he not be anxious? This is not enough.
Yu Qingluo glared at him gently before walking towards the little beggar.
Hearing the footsteps coming from behind, the little beggar slowly turned around. He seemed a little afraid of Ye Xiudu, so he took a step aside, trying to avoid Ye Xiudu's sight, and then whispered, "I I didn’t see or hear anything just now, girl, do I still need to send you a message?”
Embarrassment appeared on Yu Qingluo's face. It seemed that they had done something they shouldn't have done in front of a child, and the impact was not good.
Ye Xiu walked forward alone and said coldly, "No need."
That letter was probably for him. He was right in front of Qing'er now. If he had anything to say, he could just say it in his ear.
Yu Qingluo pushed him back a few steps. Who was this man trying to scare with a straight face? He thought that everyone was like Nan Nan, who was not afraid of anything as long as he saw interesting things
When the little beggar saw Ye Xiu retreating alone, he obviously felt a little less stressed.
"Um, what's your name?"
"...My mother used to call me Jiang'er." Jiang'er seemed to hesitate for a moment before speaking in a low voice.
Yu Qingluo didn't ask in detail, but just told him, "Jiang'er, don't tell anything about today's matter. Whether you meet me or... him, don't let others know, otherwise it won't be good for you. .”
Jiang Er laughed, "Don't worry, I know. I know that girl is definitely not an ordinary person."
Yu Qingluo knew that he was a sensible person, and took out a banknote from his sleeve, "Here is this for you. I think there are a few people in that ruined temple who are not very friendly to you. If you continue to be there, you will be bullied. Find another place." , take the money first and buy something nice for yourself... Don’t accept it, I didn’t give it to you for free. You are young and unattractive. If anything happens in the future, I will still need your help."
Jiang'er thought for a while, then nodded and carefully put the money away.
Yu Qingluo then laughed and said, "Go back."
Jiang'er said "yes", took the money and ran away.
Ye Xiudu narrowed his eyes and raised his eyebrows, "You are very patient with your children."
"That child is very smart, and he comes from a wealthy family. He has experienced a lot of worldly experiences at such a young age. He knows how to protect himself wisely, knows the stakes, and won't talk nonsense."
"snort."
Yu Qingluo smiled and reached out to hold his hand, "That kid must know a lot since he's been in the market. Maybe he can really help us in the future?"
Facts have proved that Yu Qingluo's words were not wrong. Not long after, a clue provided by Jiang'er gave Yu Qingluo and Ye Xiudu a great help.
Ye Xiu was noncommittal. He admitted that the child was smart. However, these have nothing to do with him at this moment.
He turned his head, held Yu Qingluo's hand tightly, took a deep breath, and hugged her again.
"Go back with me."
Yu Qingluo's head started to hurt when she thought of Shangguan Jin in the inn. Now that I see Ye Xiudu, I must make it clear.
However, before she could figure out how to open her mouth, her body suddenly flew into the air and was directly picked up by Ye Xiudu.
When he tiptoed, Yu Qingluo felt the wind blowing in her ears, and soon she left the alley and headed to a completely unfamiliar place.
"Hey, where are you taking me?"
