Nuan Se stared blankly at the handsome face that was thinking about him, and couldn't help but blush.
He's really back.
Xia Houchen raised his eyes and met the warm and yearning eyes, and his heart throbbed suddenly.
The two of them just looked at each other quietly, as if nothing could change their minds.
"Chen'er?"
The sound of excited surprise came, and Xia Houchen raised his eyes.
Seeing the excited Duan Muxi, Xia Houchen felt guilty. He walked up to her and knelt down gently.
"Master, Chen'er is back."
The low, hoarse voice was choked with sobs, which was heartbreaking to hear.
My parents are here and I won’t travel far.
When he left, he didn't even say a word to them. How unfilial.
Duanmuxi reached out and touched the longing face. The warmth in her palm made the corners of her eyes wet instantly.
It wasn't a dream, her Chen'er was really back.
"Just come back."
Duanmuxi happily wiped away her tears while reaching out to help him up.
Her precious apprentice finally came back, but how could she be willing to let him kneel down.
Xia Houchen stood up and looked up at Xuanyuan Mo beside Duanmuxi.
"I'm back."
"No next time."
Xuanyuan Mo had a straight face, but the slightly raised corners of his lips still showed his good mood.
After eight years, this kid finally came back.
"Okay." Xia Houchen nodded obediently.
In his heart, he has been his father for a long time. There is always such a tacit understanding between them. There is no need to say anything, but they can understand everything.
"Big brother"
Liangsheng, Hanxiao, Wenxian, Wuyou, a bunch of others rushed to Xia Houchen and squeezed Xuanyuan Mo out.
"Even if you're back, you already miss us."
Liang Sheng grabbed Xia Houchen as happily as a child, making Yan Moshang jealous.
"You came back in time."
Han Xiao's lips curved, not as cold as usual.
"Where have you been these past few years? It's hard for us to find you."
Wen Xian stepped forward and hammered Xia Houchen on the shoulder.
"Senior Brother, it will be good if you come back."
Wuyou also temporarily forgot about the child and looked at Xia Houchen with a look of joy.
"Hello, senior brother."
Chi Yu looked at Xia Houchen shyly, with admiration in his eyes.
Bingzhi looked at Xia Houchen's handsome face, her amber eyes turning darkly, "So you are the eldest brother, you are so handsome, no wonder eldest sister."
"Well"
Before Bingzhi could finish her words, Nuanse covered her mouth.
Nuan Se blushed and did not dare to look at Xia Houchen. She only stared at Bingzhi and scolded silently through gritted teeth.
"Give me a seat."
Bingzhi rolled her eyes lightly and chuckled.
It turns out that the eldest sister is also afraid of people.
"Brother Chen."
A voice like an oriole came, and everyone looked up, only to see a beautiful girl in a yellow shirt standing at the door.
Nuanse frowned subconsciously, not for anything else, but for that "Brother Chen".
Bingzhi blinked, pulled down Nuanse's hand, and looked curiously at the girl in yellow shirt, "Who are you?"
The girl in the yellow shirt raised her lips slightly, walked to Bingzhi and squatted down.
"Hello little sister, my name is Sang Ruoyi, and I am Brother Chen's fiancée. You can call me Sister Ruoyi."
When Bingzhi heard this, her little eyebrows twitched.
This senior brother actually has a fiancée, what should the eldest sister do
Nuan Se stiffened and raised her eyes to look at Xia Houchen.
Xia Houchen lowered his eyes and did not refute.
Nuan Se's little face turned pale, her heart felt like a knife, and the pain was so painful that she could hardly breathe.
Everyone else also dropped the smiles on their faces, and their expressions became serious. Even Xuanyuan Mo frowned slightly.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room became a little weird.
However, Duanmu Xi didn't think anything was wrong, and just looked at Sang Ruoyi curiously.
"Chen'er, who is this girl?"
Before Xia Houchen could speak, Sang Ruoyi walked up to Duan Muxi and bowed slightly, "Hello, master, I am Brother Chen's fiancée, you can call me Ruoyi."
Duan Muxi blinked and blushed slightly when Sang Ruoyi called him "Master".
Chen'er actually has a fiancée. Yes, Chen'er is already so old, it's time to get married.
Duanmuxi thought about it and looked at Sang Ruoyi.
Seeing Duan Muxi's eyes sizing up his daughter-in-law, Xia Houchen frowned and stepped forward to explain, "She is the goddess of Haotong. I heard that Wuyou was under a curse, so I specially asked her to come and help."
One sentence brought everyone back to reality.
Wen Xian and Wuyou looked at each other and instantly became excited.
Jun Wuxie and Ye Binning also stepped forward immediately, looked at Sang Ruoyi and said excitedly, "Can this girl lift the curse on Wuyou?"
At this moment, everyone looked at Sang Ruoyi nervously.
The curse of worry-free lingers like a haze hanging over their heads.
At this moment, it is as if a person who has been in despair and waiting for death suddenly sees a glimmer of light. How can this not make people nervous and excited
Looking at everyone's expectant eyes, San Ruoyi shook her head gently, "I can't."
Before everyone could be disappointed, they heard Sang Ruoyi say again, "But without me, the curse cannot be lifted."
Everyone frowned and looked at Xia Houchen in confusion.
Xia Houchen's eyes flashed lightly, "I will lift the curse for Wuyou. Don't worry, Wuyou and the baby will be fine."
Everyone was relieved when they heard this.
Jun Wuxie stepped forward and patted Xia Houchen's shoulder heavily.
"Boy Chen, thank you."
Xia Houchen curled his lips and said, "Uncle Jun, you're welcome."
"Chen'er has just come back. Let's go back to Chenle Hall to rest first. There is no rush to lift the curse." Duan Muxi looked at Xiahou Chen with a distressed look on his face and said.
Wen Xian also nodded and said, "Yes, senior brother, please go and rest first."
"Miss Ruoyi?" Duanmuxi turned to Sang Ruoyi.
Sang Ruoyi glanced at Xiahou Chen tenderly and said shyly, "Brother Chen and I."
Looking at Sang Ruoyi's shy expression, Nuanse's heart suffocated and she felt out of breath for a moment.
"Sister Ruoyi, please live in my Qingzhixie."
Bingzhi threw herself into Sang Ruoyi's arms.
"ah?"
Sang Ruoyi raised her eyebrows and looked at Bingzhi with confusion.
"I like sister Ruoyi very much. Sister Ruoyi can live here, just live here."
Bingzhi's amber water eyes turned darkly as she hugged Sang Ruoyi and kept coquettishly.
Seeing Bingzhi's deliberately acting coquettishly, everyone lowered their heads and snickered.
It's so hard for this little guy. For the sake of the eldest sister, he even doesn't care about his image.
Being worn down by Bing Zhi, San Ruoyi nodded helplessly, "Okay then."
"Great." Bingzhi jumped up happily.
Sang Ruoyi glanced at Xia Houchen sadly. Originally, she wanted to live with him in Chenle Palace, but now she could only stay with the little baby.
Seeing Sang Ruoyi looking at Xia Houchen, Bingzhi immediately took her hand and said, "Sister Ruoyi, I will show you the room. My Qingzhixie is so beautiful."
Bingzhi said and pulled Sang Ruoyi out without any explanation. Before going out, she glanced at Nuan Se secretly like a grown-up.
Sister, I have done everything I can do, and the next step is up to you.
After receiving Bing Zhi's ambiguous eyes, Nuan Se's eyes dimmed.
In fact, she didn't have to spend a lot of money on her, they were afraid that it would never be possible again.
Without looking at Xia Houchen, Nuanse walked out of Bai Xianxuan in a daze.
She thought he came back for her, she thought he had reasons for leaving, and she thought that as long as she worked hard, there would still be a possibility between them.
It turns out that everything was just what she thought
"Nuan'er."
Hearing the gentle call, Nuanse stiffened.
Slowly raising his eyes, looking at the handsome face that he missed so much that his heart ached, Nuan Se struggled to squeeze out a smile.
"congratulations."
The hoarse voice was full of fatigue and bitterness.
His brows furrowed suddenly, overwhelming pain surged into his heart, and Xia Houchen smiled bitterly.
"Congratulations to you too."
The same low and hoarse voice, but very sincere.
Nuan Se's face turned pale and he twitched the corner of his mouth with difficulty.
"Thanks."
Looking at Nuan Se's almost transparent face, Xia Houchen felt so distressed that he could hardly breathe.
Lowering his eyes, Nuanse turned around silently.
No one makes you wait, and no one makes you love. He rejected you as early as eight years ago, right
Duanmu Nuanse, what are you still hoping for
Give up, he won't belong to you.
Xia Houchen clenched his fists tightly, and the boundless pain in his heart made him unable to breathe.
He wanted to rush forward desperately, hold her in his arms, and tell her that he missed her so much that he was going crazy.
But, he can't.
In the evening, Qingzhixie.
Bingzhi hugged the pillow and climbed into Sang Ruoyi's bed.
Sang Ruoyi frowned, but before she could say anything, Bingzhi lay down next to her with a pillow.
"Sister Ruoyi, where do you live?"
Bingzhi blinked her big eyes and looked at Sang Ruoyi curiously.
Looking at Bingzhi's cute look, Sang Ruoyi curled her lips and smiled softly, "My home is in Haotan Continent."
Bingzhi's big eyes flickered, and she lay on the bed, approaching Sang Ruoyi with a gossipy face.
"How did you and Senior Brother meet?"
Sang Ruoyi's eyes flickered, she thought for a moment and said, "Our two families are family friends."
"oh."
Bingzhi nodded suddenly and asked, "Do you like senior brother?"
Sang Ruoyi's face turned red and she nodded shyly, "Of course."
Speaking of Xia Houchen, Sang Ruoyi stood up and said, "You go to bed first, I'll go out for a while."
Bingzhi rolled her eyes lightly and threw herself into Sang Ruoyi's arms.
"Sister Ruoyi, don't leave, I'm afraid."
Fear.
Sang Ruoyi was dumbfounded. Didn't she sleep alone before she came
Bingzhi hugged Sang Ruoyi tightly, burying her head in her arms and smiling evilly.
If you want to find your senior brother, there is no way.
Chenle Hall.
Xia Houchen was lying on the Arhat bed, with his hands folded and pillowed behind his head.
"This crystal pudding is so beautifully carved, I want to hide it"
"Elder brother, I like you, I like you very much, and I won't let you leave."
"Xia Houchen, I know you are here, please come out."
"congratulations"
Guilt, sadness, heartache, self-blame, bitterness, all the tastes were like a mess, tightly wrapped around his heart, leaving him breathless.
"Whoosh", Xia Houchen sat up from the bed, put on his shoes and ran to Feise Pavilion.
