Chapter 168: Light Rain

Xue Chongxun's hands were pressed on the table to support the weight of his body. He felt a coldness on the back of his left hand. It turned out that Cheng Ting's tears were sliding down her eyes. Because his head was tilting to the left, the tears slid along her pretty cheeks to the back of Xue Chongxun's hand.

It seems that some people say that this way can connect with each other. The soft gap is a bridge to a woman's heart. You will never know her unless you enter.

At this time, Cheng Ting said, "Hexi Jiedushi Cheng Qianli, I have never even met him. Even if I see him, I don't know him..."

Xue Chongxun remained silent. He didn't want to understand her through her words, but only felt it through touch.

But she didn't even hum, and only acted like a helpless look under political pressure, lying motionless, neither struggling nor catering.

This is a manifestation of maturity, right? Cheng Ting is already an adult, and she should have seen a lot of experiences with Princess Taiping over the years.

Sometimes Xue Chongxun can feel his gradual growth. As he grows older, he acts more and more politely and affectionately in front of others, and he is more and more like a good person... But he himself knows that he has never changed at all, and is still full of all kinds of desires, darkness and indifference, and lust. His gentleman tendency is to hide himself more and more and more realistic, because people need to gain a foothold in the world, and gentlemen are the mainstream orientation.

Similarly, Xue Chongxun believes that Cheng Ting is hiding madness in her heart. Maybe she wants to experience all kinds of stimulation, but she has to pretend to be like this now... She dares not let go of herself, nor dares to indulge herself. This involves the issue of fame and image. A woman's reputation is very important. Only virtuous, conservative and self-disciplined are in line with the mainstream values ​​that society requires for women.

Cheng Ting still closed her eyes and didn't say anything. Maybe she was unwilling to admit it, or maybe she didn't know her heart, and not everyone has the ability to understand her.

He hugged Cheng Ting and put it on the bed, and lay down tiredly to rest. She quickly hugged the quilt and curled up at the head of the bed, her hair was scattered and there were tears on her face, and she looked really pitiful.

Xue Chongxun said kindly: "I don't want this either..." He himself understood that it was obviously a lie. Is it a man who possessed a young woman with a good face and a good figure? If he had to have so-called feelings before he wanted to get close to a woman, why would the emperor have to harvest thousands of women to the palace?

At this time, his body and mind were very satisfied, but he said sadly: "There are always a lot of helplessness in the world. After tonight, I will not hurt you like this again, don't be afraid."

Sure enough, Xue Chongxun's kind words achieved immediate results, and Cheng Ting finally spoke: "I didn't blame you."

"I will treat you well." Xue Chongxun is sincere. Pampering Cheng Ting seems to be a private matter, but it may have a subtle impact on the power field, making Cheng Qianli feel safe for the Taiping Party; not only that, Xue Chongxun also has some personal emotions. Cheng Ting probably has no chance to have any contact with men, and she is really a bit naive in emotional games, but Xue Chongxun likes such women who are more pure in their hearts... Those who are too emotional and see through the world are a little disgusted, which may be the reason why it is not easy to cheat.

Xue Chongxun moved her body, but she did not hide this time, which reminded Xue Chongxun of a sentence: If you can't get a woman's body, you will never get her heart. As long as you have that kind of relationship, she will have a sense of belonging more or less. Most women are indeed weak. He got closer and said, "I will remember the suffering you suffered for me and the valuable things you gave me."

Cheng Ting said quietly: "You are the prince, and you have a thousand charms around you. How can you remember everyone?"

Xue Chongxun said calmly: "But I definitely remember your goodness."

Cheng Ting's face was flushed, and she could no longer see any sadness and pain. She seemed very happy and did not lose anything.

"It's late, let's take a rest..." Xue Chongxun shouted outside the curtain, "Come on, come in, get hot water."

The palace maid who was on duty outside responded and quickly carried some things for bathing. After they were ready, Xue Chongxun waved to ask them to retreat.

Cheng Ting turned her back and said, "You should rest first, don't worry about me."

Xue Chongxun smiled and said, "I'll help you wash it." She blushed and said, "I'd better not want it anymore, I'm so ugly."

Xue Chongxun pondered for a moment, thinking that this relationship would be too much at the beginning, and it might have a counterproductive effect... The relationship between him and Cheng Ting affected military and national affairs, and he had to be cautious. Thinking of this, he said kindly: "You are injured, clean it and take good care of it."

The words of concern sounded naturally very pleasant, and Cheng Ting shyly said "um".

Xue Chongxun walked a few steps, walked past the copper tripod, and came to the side of the mantle. A gust of breeze came in outside the window. Xue Chongxun couldn't help but murmur: "If life was just like the first meeting, why did the autumn wind make a sad painting fan..."

However, Cheng Ting heard such a small voice. She pondered for a moment and said, "Will you treat me like you are now?"

Xue Chongxun said without hesitation: "It's OK."

Although there was a beauty taking a bath next to her and she was still acting coquettishly there and the palace was extremely sexy, but these could only satisfy Xue Chongxun's body. He felt that the huge and luxurious palace was full of endless loneliness.

She was still talking nonsense, as if it was quite comfortable to soak in warm water, slowly talking about her childhood and life trivial matters... Xue Chongxun just listened, occasionally interjecting a few irrelevant words, and dealing with them cautiously.

Xue Chongxun was thinking: Has she forgotten that she was just a political victim? What is the reason to say to me that nonsense... I just need to show my love for her. This is a political attitude.

Cheng Ting's small bargaining chips in political games seem to be slight, but Xue Chongxun attaches great importance to it... It's okay to mess around in Tubo, even if it's done wrong, even if it's extremely dangerous, it won't make people despair, because there is a place to go back, and the Tang Dynasty and Chang'an are his hopes; but if something goes wrong in China, it's despair and he will have no way out. Because the Tang Dynasty is his hometown.

After the wind passed, a "rustling" sound suddenly sounded outside, and Cheng Ting said in surprise: "Ah! It's raining."

Xue Chongxun smiled and said another nonsense came out: "Yes, it rains and the weather will be cooler."
