"Master, here comes the wine." Zhou Yan's arrival broke the awkward silence between the two of them. He turned around and saw that Zhou Yan was carrying two jars of wine in one hand and a food box in the other.
He quickly took out the side dishes from the food box and placed them on the table. Then he quietly stepped away.
The door was not closed. Luo Zhiyi could see the lights outside and vaguely heard people's laughter. However, all of this seemed far away from her.
Bai Ye opened a jar of wine, and a cold fragrance hit his nostrils. Luo Zhiyi remembered that this was the color of lotus.
Luo Zhiyi looked back and met Bai Ye's eyes. Those eyes were dark and a little bright, with a hint of expectation. "This lotus color was given by the emperor. You can try it too." He said. Pour the wine into the glass cup. The slightly green lotus color ripples gently in the transparent glass cup. The cold and unique lotus fragrance permeates the whole room. Luo Zhiyi feels that every pore on his body is open. Greedily absorbing the unique fragrance.
Luo Zhiyi wanted to refuse, but when he thought about it, he had already reached out and picked up the wine glass.
The transparent glass cup was in her white jade-like hand. It gave off a dazzling light under the light. Bai Ye looked at Luo Zhiyi's hand intently and suddenly felt in a trance. How long had he not seen her holding the cup with such lust? Drink.
Luo Zhiyi put the wine to his nose and smelled it gently. His eyes were slightly half-closed, as if he was enjoying the unique fragrance. Then his thin lips were lightly curved into a perfect arc. The wine glass was pressed against his lips and his head was light. She looked up. The green wine slowly flowed into her mouth.
Bai Ye watched Luo Zhiyi take a sip and closed his eyes. Bai Ye knew that Luo Zhiyi must be feeling the wonderful taste of lotus color in his mouth. The beautiful face suddenly made him feel familiar. A strange feeling. My heart was beating like a drum in my chest. It seemed like it was about to jump out of my chest.
Bai Ye gently pressed his heart. A pair of red and phoenix eyes stared lovingly at the person opposite him. He couldn't bear to turn away for a moment.
She still closed her eyes. She put the wine glass close to her lips again and took another sip. A satisfied and leisurely look appeared on her face. The butterflies in the corners of her eyes seemed to quiet down at this moment. They lay there quietly and seemed to be drunk. Average.
"I still remember that the princess also brought out lotus seeds that night." Luo Zhiyi finally opened his eyes and looked at the empty glass wine glass in his hand. He said thoughtfully. "It's a pity that no one drank the wine that night. Come on. It's really a waste of that lotus color." There was a trace of regret in his tone.
Bai Ye, who was opposite him, was slightly startled. Hearing Luo Zhiyi mention Lian Ruoshui again, the strange feeling in Bai Ye's heart suddenly turned into a thousand emotions.
He raised his hand and drank the wine in the glass. It was such a fine wine, but it turned extremely bitter in his mouth.
Shaking his head and laughing, Bai Ye drank another glass, one after another. However, he felt that the wine was getting more and more bitter and astringent.
Luo Zhiyi, who was opposite him, saw that Bai Ye was obviously drinking to relieve his sorrow. He sneered in his heart, but kept a calm expression on his face. He stretched out his hand to press the wine jar in Bai Ye's hand. Bai Ye looked up and faced Luo Zhiyi. With deep eyes, the next moment, Luo Zhiyi had snatched the wine jar from his hand and began to pour himself a glass of wine.
Bai Ye opened another jar of wine and drank one glass at a time until the jar of wine quickly reached the bottom.
"Your Majesty," Luo Zhiyi held Bai Ye's hand again at this time. "You will get drunk like this." He said with an indifferent expression, as if he was speaking the truth, without the slightest feeling of concern.
Luo Zhiyi's indifferent look made Bai Ye suddenly feel uncomfortable. He held Luo Zhiyi's hand with his backhand. Her hand was still so small, so soft, with her own warmth, like a small fire. In his palm.
"You still care about me, don't you." The tail of his eyes rose slightly, as if he became happy because of Luo Zhiyi's simple words. His eyes were also slightly drunk because of this joy.
Luo Zhiyi struggled to take out his hand, but Bai Ye held it tighter. He raised his eyes and met Bai Ye's eyes. These eyes were once as gentle as water. They were full of pampering and love. They were also as cold as ice. It was all indifference and hatred. Now, what she saw in her eyes was more guilt and expectation.
However, if it is hurt, it is hurt. If you lose it, you will never get it back.
Luo Zhiyi gave up her struggle and let Bai Ye hold her hand. He lowered his head and raised the glass with the other hand and continued drinking. He did not answer Bai Ye's question. There was no need to answer.
Luo Zhiyi's acquiescence made Bai Ye's heart suddenly surge with unprecedented joy. He held Luo Zhiyi's hand with both hands. His eyes were filled with the light of broken stars. He looked at Luo Zhiyi who raised his head and drank. He suddenly said in a hoarse voice: " I'm sorry."
Luo Zhiyi stopped drinking, but continued to drink.
I'm sorry. What's the use of saying sorry now? Can it exchange for her parents and relatives? Can it exchange for the stability and happiness of her Luo family?
Bai Ye saw Luo Zhi's intention and ignored him. He continued to drink wine without even giving him a look. The self-blame and guilt in his heart surged up with the smell of alcohol and he couldn't stop it.
"Zhiyi. I never wanted to hurt you from the beginning. Really, I thought about treating you well..." Bai Ye wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Luo Zhiyi's sneer.
"Your Majesty, is it useful to say this now? All that has passed. If Your Majesty really feels guilty about it, then let him go and leave." Luo Zhiyi looked at him and said seriously.
This was the first time Luo Zhiyi spoke to him so sincerely after the Luo family incident. However, he wanted to leave.
Bai Ye fell silent, and Luo Zhiyi stopped talking. However, the indifference in his eyes disappeared and turned into sadness and sadness.
"Why do you have to leave? The Luo family is gone. Where else can you go if you leave the palace?"
"The sky is big and the earth is big. There must be a place for me, Luo Zhiyi. Besides, although the southern border is far away, it is not impossible to get there." Luo Zhiyi wanted to take out his hand again.
"No..." As soon as Bai Ye finished speaking, he suddenly stopped and looked away. "I will take good care of you in the future. I will not let you be hurt again."
"Hahaha. My lord, how many women have you said this to? But have you ever really done it?" Luo Zhiyi fiercely pulled out his hand and stood up. He was about to leave, but was stopped by Bai Ye. Pull again.
The next moment, his warm body pressed against her. A pair of iron arms wrapped around her slender waist, tightly confining her in his arms.
"Zhiyi. Don't leave. I know I was wrong. Give me a chance to make it up to you, okay." The pleading words and the unique fragrance of lotus color spread in her ears. Luo Zhiyi stiffened and let him hold her. He said coldly: "Your Majesty, I said, if you want to compensate me, let me leave."
"No, don't go. I mean, don't leave me." Bai Ye said urgently. The feeling that had been lingering in his heart for so long poured out like a flood. He liked her. He loved her. He couldn't lose her. She... can't live without her.
"Does the prince feel that the harm to Zhiyi is not enough?"
"No. No. I will never let you get hurt again. I swear, never again."
Bai Ye didn't know how to get rid of her idea of leaving. He just hugged her tightly. It seemed that as long as he didn't let go, she would never leave.
