His voice was low, like the breeze ruffling the strings of a piano. Each syllable fell gently in the rain, causing ripples on the ground.
Chu Liuyue was stunned for a moment.
It seemed like he had really been waiting for her for too long.
There were cold raindrops floating on her face. She shuddered and finally came to her senses.
"Why are you here?"
She bought this house privately and almost no one knew about it. How could Rong Xiu know about it and even wait for her here
Rong Xiu turned his eyes slightly and landed on the drop of rain on her face.
Immediately, he leaned forward slightly and stretched out his hand.
"Why-"
"do not move."
Chu Liuyue subconsciously blocked it, but when she heard the low sound, she unconsciously retracted her hand.
His hands were long and white, with clear joints, but the fingertips were very soft, and he gently wiped the rain off her face.
He was so close to her that Chu Liuyue could even clearly see his long black eyelashes trembling slightly.
He looked very serious, as if this was a very important matter.
Chu Liuyue also held her breath for some reason.
At this moment, time seemed extremely long.
I don't know how long it took, but Rong Xiu suddenly laughed.
"pant."
Chu Liuyue subconsciously said "Oh" and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Rong Xiu made a move.
"Ok?"
Chu Liuyue asked.
Isn't it just a little rainy? It takes so long to wipe it
Rong Xiu calmly retracted his hand.
Chu Liuyue's mind moved, and she suddenly felt a little awkward.
He raised his eyes and glanced at Rong Xiu, only to see that he had completely withdrawn his hand, as if he didn't notice anything was wrong and his expression was calm.
Probably...it wasn't intentional...
But why does he have to wipe her face every time they meet
Chu Liuyue muttered in her heart, suppressed the waves in her heart, and asked again:
"Why are you here?"
Rong Xiu smiled, held Chu Liuyue's hand and walked back, saying slowly:
"We'll talk about it when we get home."
Chu Liuyue glanced down and twitched the corners of her mouth slightly.
go home
That's her home, not his! What the hell is this natural tone
"Your Highness King Li, what are you doing?"
Although there is no one around here, it is not appropriate for them to do this, right
"I am cold."
Rong Xiu said calmly.
He was so confident that Chu Liuyue couldn't think of anything to refute for a while.
Rong Xiu pulled her closer.
Chu Liuyue raised her eyebrows.
"Your Highness, you won't stay warm like this."
Rong Xiu nodded:
"Yeah. But this way you won't get wet."
Chu Liuyue was stunned, and when she turned her eyes, she saw that the cloak on his body was slightly wet.
She suddenly remembered that when Rong Xiu held the umbrella for her just now, the umbrella was indeed tilted toward her.
For the sake of this umbrella, Chu Liuyue simply stopped pursuing it.
The two of them were silent all the way and arrived at the door together.
Chu Liuyue struggled for a moment, and Rong Xiu naturally let go of her hand.
Chu Liuyue opened the door and walked in.
After taking two steps, I suddenly remembered something and looked back.
Rong Xiu was still standing outside the door, showing no intention of leaving.
Chu Liuyue gritted her teeth secretly:
"Your Highness, would you like to sit in the humble residence for a while?"
Rong Xiu's thin lips are slightly raised:
"Since Yue'er is so kind, I will be disrespectful."
With that said, he walked straight in.
Chu Liuyue: "..."
Why didn't you see before that Rong Xiu was so shameless? !
…
Chu Liuyue only visited this house once when she bought it. At that time, the place was still quite dirty.
Now that it has been renovated, it looks much more elegant and clean.
Chu Liuyue asked Rong Xiu to sit down while she went to make a pot of ginger tea.
"The house is humble and simple, and there is nothing to entertain His Highness King Li."
After serving the tea, Chu Liuyue stopped busy and sat opposite Rong Xiu.
"This cup of ginger tea is enough."
Rong Xiu didn't seem to mind. He poured two cups of tea, handed one cup to Chu Liuyue, and kept one cup for himself, taking a sip.
The white heat lingered, making his eyebrows relax.
Not only does he not have the airs of a prince in his words and deeds, but he actually seems to be quite satisfied...
Chu Liuyue was surprised. This ginger tea was an ordinary thing, and the taste was a bit pungent. Most children from aristocratic families would despise it. He actually drank it so leisurely. Could it be that he had lived in Mingyue Tianshan in the past few years? Are they all hard days
"It seems that His Highness's life was not very good before." Chu Liuyue said deliberately, "Are you used to drinking ginger tea?"
"I can't get used to drinking."
Rong Xiu smiled.
"But this is what you picked up. It's very rare. Even if you don't get used to it, you can get used to it."
I'm used to it even if I'm not used to it...
Rong Xiu's tone was as calm as ever, but this sentence seemed a bit ambiguous.
Chu Liuyue didn't know what to say for a moment and pursed her lips.
If she still couldn't guess what Rong Xiu was thinking about her, then she was really stupid.
It was an accident to help once, but what about twice? What about three times
But what she didn't understand was, what did Rong Xiu see in her
appearance
When they first met, she was sallow and skinny, and she was definitely not good-looking.
talent
She was admitted to Tianlu College just today.
identity
The former fiancée who was abandoned by the prince, the eldest lady who was disliked by the Chu family, ordinary people would avoid her, let alone His Royal Highness the respected King Li
"Your Highness, let's get straight to the point and say what you have to say!"
Chu Liuyue took a deep breath, straightened her back, and looked at Rong Xiu seriously.
"Why did you come here today? In other words, what do you want from me? Although I have turned around now, I am weak and have nothing to help you. You are just doing this to me. It’s just a waste of time and energy.”
Rong Xiu turned the tea cup in his hand, lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at her.
The two looked at each other.
Countless lights flickered in Rong Xiu's eyes, finally reflecting the girl's cheek.
"I'm here today to celebrate your birthday."
Chu Liuyue was stunned.
Rong Xiu suddenly took out a wooden box, and a faint fragrance spread out.
It turned out to be an extremely exquisite agarwood box.
"This is a gift for you."
Chu Liuyue took it hesitantly, moved her fingers, and opened the box.
A peach blossom hairpin was lying there quietly.
