Chapter 36: Peer
"The Third Young Master of General Jianwei's Mansion, are you familiar with him? "
Seeing that he didn't reply for a long time, Shen Qiaochen gritted her teeth and asked again.
Xiao Jue did not deny it, half-leaning against the wall of the car, seemingly nonchalantly, but blocked the only exit of the float.
The moonlight slanted into the car and shone on Shen Qiaochen's pale face. Xiao Jue clearly saw the unhappiness in her eyes.
A smile flashed in his eyes, and he nodded slightly. Then he stretched out his hand and took Shen Qiaochen's right hand without any explanation, and looked at it carefully in the moonlight.
Shen Qiaochen was startled, and her heart, which had just been slightly relieved by the other party's acquiescence, suddenly rose again.
"What are you doing!" She said coldly, and at the same time stretched out her left hand, pinched Xiao Jue's hand and held her own.
But her little strength was nothing to the other party.
Xiao Jue didn't waste much effort and instantly held both Shen Qiaochen's wrists in his hands at the same time.
Shen Qiaochen's complexion is extremely white, and even her bright wrists are like fine mutton-fat jade. However, they are too slender and seem to break if touched.
"Tsk..."
Looking at his plain wrist that he could hold with one hand, Xiao Jue sneered,
"Be honest, you don't want your hand anymore, right? "
Seeing that the other party was no longer struggling, he let go of Shen Qiaochen's left hand, took out a celadon jade bottle from his arms, opened the bottle cap with one hand, then raised his head to glance at Shen Qiaochen, lowered his head again, and slowly filled the bottle with The powder was sprinkled on the wound on her palm.
Xiao Jue's body leaned forward with the movement, and his entire face gradually emerged from the darkness.
Shen Qiaochen stared blankly at the face in front of him.
He was extremely well-born, with extremely white skin and strong facial features. This made him look like he didn't have any makeup. When he wasn't smiling, he actually looked a bit gloomy. The dark red lines on his dark robe made him look a bit gloomy. Added a touch of coquettishness.
This is Xiao Jue, a different Xiao Jue from the past.
Shen Qiaochen suddenly felt a little strange. She naturally recognized this face. But at this moment, the person who suddenly appeared in front of her on the float was really the person who stood under the apricot tree at the palace banquet, casually and flamboyantly. The unruly boy in scarlet clothes?
Inexplicably, Shen Qiao couldn't help but think of him in his previous life. In his previous life, Prince Yong Xiao Jue was cold-hearted, murdered his mother and brother, and was crazy about bloodthirsty.
In fact, when they met for the first time in this life, Shen Qiaochen felt something was wrong. She felt that the Xiao Jue she saw was not at all what he looked like in the legend in his previous life.
Could it be that he was always pretending to be in front of others, and is he his true self now?
Shen Qiaochen felt a little cold. She shivered, but she accidentally touched the wound on her hand. The instant pain made her subconsciously want to shrink her hand.
"do not move. "
The deep male voice made her stop moving.
Shen Qiaochen suddenly came back to his senses and looked at the person in front of him uneasily.
As if he didn't feel her nervousness, Xiao Jue still lowered his head and applied the medicine slowly.
After an unknown amount of time, he stopped and raised his head, looking at Shen Qiao and looking at her for a long time.
Shen Qiaochen's thoughts were surging at the moment, and she felt that the other person's gaze was as sharp as a knife, and the place he looked at seemed to be painful.
She suppressed her uneasiness and once again tried to retract her hand. Unexpectedly, after trying for a long time, the other person still didn't move at all.
For a while, the two people were at a stalemate.
Shen Qiao felt a little aggrieved inexplicably. She gripped the corner of her robe with her left hand and pursed her lips. A wave of heat surged into her eyes. She stared at Xiao Jue, fearing that she would shed tears if she blinked.
…
Looking at the little girl in front of her, whose eyebrows, eyes, and nose were all red, but who was resisting crying, Xiao Jue smiled mischievously, and casually opened her robe under Shen Qiao's surprised gaze.
Then……
He tore off a corner of his shirt.
He lowered his head and bandaged the wound on Shen Qiaochen's palm unhurriedly.
…
The ink-colored cloth strips were wrapped around Shen Qiao's porcelain-white hands, and the careful and meticulous look made her feel a little lost.
" alright."
A deep male voice came, and at the same time, Shen Qiaochen felt his right hand loosen, and the strength that had been supporting his right hand just now disappeared.
Suddenly losing his focus, Shen Qiaochen reacted for a while before quickly retracting his hand. He subconsciously wanted to make a fist, but felt the confining feeling of the "bandage".
So she looked down and realized that Xiao Jue had tied a bow on it at some point...
He twitched the corner of his mouth, and the chaotic thoughts just now were suddenly swept away.
Shen Qiaochen slowly raised his head and stared at the instigator opposite, looking quite angry.
Obviously, Xiao Jue had recognized himself a long time ago.
It's no wonder that he is familiar with Shen Qiaoran and has met him more than once. Now that he sees someone who looks so similar to Shen Qiaoran, who else can it be except Miss Shen who is disguised as a man.
Shen Qiaochen didn't know at this time that Xiao Jue could recognize her not just because of Shen Qiaoran.
It was because Shen Qiaochen, who was wearing moon-white men's clothing, looked so much like someone in his memory.
Among the crowd tonight, he saw her at a glance.
The light was dancing on her moon-white robe. He was fascinated by this light and was willing to be eroded by her, allowing it to illuminate all the darkness in his heart.
From that moment on, Xiao Jue knew that he had an obsession and would no longer be fearless.
But, so what.
…
Seeing Shen Qiaochen's angry face, Xiao Jue raised his brows slightly.
"Four girls, what a coincidence."
Shen Qiao said to her heart: Sure enough.
Then he glanced at the other person quickly, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He also knew that hiding his last name was not so bad after all.
No matter what the real Xiao Jue looks like, it's not something she should worry about. She can't afford to offend him anyway.
Although she wished she could stay as far away from him as possible in her heart, Shen Qiaochen still had a sweet smile on her face, as if the previous tensions were all an illusion.
"Why is the young prince here?"
Xiao Jue found Shen Qiaochen's face changing so fast that it was very interesting. He lazily leaned back against the wall of the car and slowly highlighted the two words.
"Passing by."
…
Shen Qiaochen's face froze, and he felt his forehead beating happily.
Do you think you're just passing by? Who would "just happen to pass by" to a float at night?
But no matter how much he complained in his heart, Shen Qiaochen still smiled sincerely, "Really? That's really a coincidence."
"Each other."
Xiao Jue curled up the corner of his mouth and said casually.
…
After that, the car fell into silence, and it was obvious that neither of them was interested in this kind of conversation.
The float kept moving forward, and the moonlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains, casting bright and dark shadows in the carriage.
Xiao Jue lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking. Shen Qiaochen looked in the direction of the car window, and could vaguely see the scene outside.
No one spoke again, but the fear in her heart gradually subsided unconsciously.
I don’t know how long it took, but Xiao Jue’s voice came from the darkness: “Get ready, it’s time for us to leave.”
"good."
Shen Qiao responded subconsciously, but then suddenly realized.
"what to prepare?"
She saw the young man in black clothes opposite him slowly straighten up, stretch, and then give her a mischievous smile.
"Get ready...close your eyes."
