The season has entered the middle of April. In previous years, the flowers bloomed in early spring at this time, but this year is different from the past. Not only did the spring cold come a few days ago, but last night there was also snow and freezing rain. The tender stamens that he spat out froze his head, and Pei You'an came back just now. It was long past the time to hold the lantern. It was dark and the wind was a little cold. Go through the gate and walk quickly inside.
These days, if he hadn't specially reminded him before going out in the morning, no matter how late, no matter how hungry he was, Jiafu would definitely wait for him to come back for dinner. In the evening, I could have returned earlier, but was delayed by something that was suddenly brought to me. I just came back at this moment, and it was already in the middle of the night. I was afraid that Jiafu was starving, so I was in a hurry and went straight into the room with the second door. The hall, stepped in, but unexpectedly did not hear the fast footsteps that she greeted as before, stopped for a while, glanced forward, and asked Yinhuan, the maid who was welcoming.
Yinhuan took the cape he took off and said, "Miss Zhen hasn't eaten yet. I think she is still in the room at the moment. Are you hungry, sir? I'll call the lady down."
Pei You'an went to the dining room, washed his hands, took his seat, and the servant set the dishes and two sets of tableware. Pei You'an waited for a while before Yinhuan hurried back and said, "The little lady is not in the room! I just called everyone nearby to look for it. , don't see her!"
Pei You'an was startled: "She went out during the day?"
Yin Huan shook his head: "No." Suddenly he remembered, and said quickly, "Yes! The little lady of Chu Xiongzhang's family came here during the day!"
"What is she doing here?" Pei You'an frowned.
"I heard that your cousin is here, sir, and came to visit on purpose. After she left, I went upstairs and saw Miss Zhen sitting on the stairs alone, dazed, her face was pale, and she looked a little wrong. I asked her what was wrong, she shook her head again, and after she got up, it seemed like she had never come down."
Pei You'an got up immediately, walked quickly to the round building where Jiafu lived, went upstairs and opened the door. It was empty inside, and she was nowhere to be seen. There was only her light pink shirt on the edge of the bed, and the corners of the shirt were quiet. hanging on the ground,
"Tell someone to look for it again! All the houses, courtyard corners, not a single one can fall!"
Pei You'an turned around abruptly and said loudly.
Silver Ring turned around and hurried down. The servants in Pei's house were all nervous, and they searched everywhere, but she still couldn't see her. Pei Youan went to the door again and questioned the porter, confirming that the porter was always there during the day and didn't leave for half a step, and didn't see her go out. Pass.
Pei You'an frowned, pondered for a moment, then turned to look at the window of the room where she lived, his eyes stopped for a while at the top of the round building, then turned around suddenly, left people behind and ran towards the inside, Back in front of the round building, I climbed the stairs in three steps and two steps, climbed to the top in one breath, followed a narrow ladder, and went up to the small roof designed in the local building for wartime protection. Standing still, his eyes quickly swept around in a circle.
The roof has long been abandoned, and almost no one comes up on weekdays. At this moment, it is pitch black, and the cold wind is blowing in all directions. There is a slender figure in the corner. Sitting on the side of a wooden railing, looking at it, the silhouette seems to be integrated with the night.
Pei You'an strode over.
"Why did you come here all alone? Do you know how many people were looking for you?"
His tone was stern involuntarily.
As if she hadn't heard it, Jiafu still sat like that, motionless.
The wind whistled past his ears, and the rolled coat rumbled. He stopped, waited for a moment, hesitated, got closer, and finally got behind her, this time leaned down and lowered it. Voice.
"Come with me first, it's cold here."
It was only then that Jiafu seemed to finally be aware of his arrival, Xian Ying moved, turned her head slowly, glanced at Pei You'an who was standing behind her, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, cousin... I didn't pay attention just now..."
Her voice was extremely weak, and the weak could be blown away by the night wind at any time. As she spoke, she grabbed the railing with one hand, leaned against it, stood up slowly, turned and walked towards the inside, only taking two steps. , The body tilted, Pei You'an was startled, and instinctively stretched out his hands to support her.
Jiafu leaned against Pei You'an's chest, motionless.
The softness that seemed to be there before was filled again in an instant.
Pei You calmed down, lowered his head slowly, and through the dim starlight around him, saw her head softly pressing against his left chest, her eyes were slightly closed, two rows of long eyelashes, and the curling shadow was hazy, but because of her. The distance is getting closer, and one by one, it is clear and countable.
The place on the left chest that was the size of a fist that was pressed against by her forehead jumped if it seemed to be absent.
"cousin-"
He felt the weight of her in front of him, he hesitated, called her softly, but remained calm, moved back an inch, and then his shoulders moved, the person in his arms lost his support, and his body froze. It softened and fell silently on the ground beside his feet.
Pei You'an was taken aback, squatted down in a hurry, turned her face, saw her eyes closed, she fainted, remembered what Yin Huan had just said, and immediately picked her up from the ground, through the clothes, Her skin was cold to the tentacles, and her body was as light as a butterfly. She quickly descended, took her into the room, gently removed her shoes, and laid her flat on the bed.
The light on the rooftop was dim just now, but now I can see it clearly. Her face was snow-white, and her usual rosy lips were also frozen blue. I don't know how long she had been blowing on it. Outside, he slowly exhaled a breath, held his breath, and then tapped his two fingers to check her wrist pulse.
Her pulse was weak and her breath was unstable, but the beating was steady, which should be caused by lack of vitality. After resting, it should not be a big problem.
Pei You'an relaxed a little, lifted her hand gently and covered her hand, glanced at her pale face, turned around, and planned to go out and call Yinhuan to accompany her.
"… Big cousin… "
Just as he turned around, he heard a vague and delicate voice coming from behind him.
Pei You'an turned his head.
Jiafu's eyelashes trembled slightly, her eyes slowly opened, and she woke up.
Pei You'an walked back and said softly, "Wake up? How do you feel? Are you hungry? You don't have to come down. I'll ask someone to bring something up for you to eat." After she finished speaking, she shook her head and said she was not hungry. She seemed to have tears in her eyes, and she looked extremely pitiful. She couldn't help but remember that she was on the roof just now. When she first found her, her tone was too stiff.
Jiafu didn't say anything, she just stared at him, the tears in her eyes became more and more obvious, and they quickly filled her eyes. The tears rolled down her cheeks, and disappeared in her temple hair, leaving only one corner of her eyes. Wet tears.
Pei You'an's voice became softer: "Don't cry. If you have anything, just tell me."
"Big cousin... Are you interested in someone?"
Jiafu raised her hand and wiped the tears on her face, and asked in a soft, nasal voice.
Pei You'an was stunned for a moment, looked at her, saw her wide eyes looking at him, suppressed the weird feeling in her heart, and said, "Why are you asking this?"
"Big cousin, tell me first, please..."
Pei You'an felt incredible. He could completely ignore her sudden question, paused, but said lightly, "No."
Gave sat up.
"Daughter of Xiao Shizi's fiancee Zhang family came here to see me during the day. She told me a lot of things, meaning that she wanted me to quit the prince! I didn't want to, I rejected her, but I was so scared! Offend him, someone like the prince will not let me go easily... Big cousin, you said to help me earlier, but you help me now, after you can't help me, sooner or later I will return to Quanzhou, big cousin you also have My own business, when the time comes, if the prince is still against me, or threatens my family, what should I do? I'm very scared... "
She had already wiped away her tears, and as she talked, the tears rolled down again, and suddenly she got up and threw herself into Pei You'an's arms, holding him tightly, just like in the post house that night, she Suddenly I saw what he looked like when he appeared.
Pei You settled down.
Jia Fu's cheek was pressed against his chest, and tears soon wet his shirt.
"Big cousin, didn't you promise to help me? Since you don't have a sweetheart, let me be yours, okay?"
Pei You'an was taken aback - it could even be said to be shocked.
"No!"
He categorically refused, raised his hand, and wanted to untangle her arms from his own, but Jaffe tightened it even tighter.
"I know I'm not worthy of my eldest cousin, but I've thought about it. Only when the prince knows that I'm yours will he stop and stop pressing me like this. I don't dare to occupy the wife's position. , as long as the eldest cousin nods, I can be a concubine or a maid, and if the eldest cousin really dislikes me, let me put a name on it!"
"Big cousin, please!"
Jiafu looked up at him, with tears in her beautiful eyes, her eyes full of anticipation, tender flowers and rain, I still feel pity, Ren Tieshi heart, I am afraid that I will soften by three points.
Pei You'an looked down at her, the initial shock on his face gradually disappeared, and his expression became solemn.
He slowly and finally untied Jiafu's arms, pondered for a while, and said, "I do know a little about the nature of the prince, but your method is too absurd, don't think about it anymore, I don't I will agree. You are thinking too much, so that you are unsure, thinking too much. I will ask people to serve you, you will rest early and sleep well. Don't worry, I promise to protect you, and I will do it ."
He really refused to agree easily, a person like a stone, no matter how she tempted and begged, it was useless.
This book is also in Kafu's expectations.
She bit her lip tightly, looked at him sadly, and suddenly got up from the bed without wearing her shoes, and ran out barefoot.
Pei You'an was startled, called "cousin", and hurriedly chased after him.
Jiafu was like a rabbit, this time it was very nimble, she crawled back to the rooftop in a blink of an eye, ran to the railing where she sat just now, leaned over, saw Pei You'an chasing after him, and shouted, "Don't come here! If you come, I'll jump! I've had a dream, and I know that one day I'll fall into that person's hands. Instead of that, I might as well not live by myself, so that you don't think I'm forcing you..."
She yelled, leaning out of the railing.
Pei You'an was shocked and said sharply: "Dangerous! Come back to me!" He was about to pull her when he came up.
"Big cousin, don't mind me, you won't really help me anyway—"
Jiafu was shouting when suddenly, there was a slight click from the railing against which she was leaning. Before she could react, she felt that the back of her waist was empty and the railing broke. She suddenly lost her strength. Planted out.
This place was chosen by her in the evening. She wanted to threaten Pei You'an like this, to show her determination, and then wait for him to pull him back, but she never thought that this wooden railing would be windy and windy because of its age. In the sun, it looks good from the outside, but in fact it can no longer rely on strength.
This round building is three stories high, at least ten feet high. If it falls like this, there is really no need to worry about Xiao Yintang's persecution.
"Big cousin, save me—"
With her head down, most of her body went out, she screamed subconsciously, one ankle was suddenly clasped tightly by a hand, and the falling tendency stopped immediately, and then, before she could react, the person was already It was dragged back from the air, and with a "pop", it was thrown to the ground.
The soul that Jiafu was frightened just now almost went out of her body. At this moment, she shivered and suddenly fell to the ground. With a cry of "Ouch", tears fell out. The next moment, her feet were empty, and she was suspended again. Pick it up. Pei You'an lifted Jia Fu down like a chicken, hurried back to her room, and threw her heavily on the bed.
"I pampered you too much, and you dared to make such a fool of yourself, right or not?"
He gritted his teeth, word for word.
Jiafu raised her head and met Pei You'an's angry face—
I've never seen him get angry like this before, and I never imagined that he would get angry like this.
"Master Pei?"
The voice of the next person came from outside.
Although the movement on the roof just now was short, it was enough to attract everyone.
"Go down! Don't enter unless you are called!"
He drank out the door.
With a slight rustling of footsteps, the door fell silent.
He turned his head slowly and stared at Jaffe again, his eyes gloomy.
Jafse flinched, hurriedly lowered his head, and huddled in the corner of the bed, not daring to take a breath.
