After Gu Qingyuan finished asking, she looked at the man in front of her, suddenly raised a hand and lightly wiped the back of his neck.
Slightly moist with sweat.
Pei Jinting was a little stunned by her question. Before he could figure out what she meant, he saw her hands wrapped around his body like vines.
"This question is difficult to answer, isn't it? I'm so nervous that I'm sweating."
In the blurry light, he looked at the sly smile on her face, and after a while he chuckled,
"Why do you think those Lingxiaohua letterheads have something to do with you?"
The hand on her shoulder relaxed slightly, then slid down her shoulder, held her slender waist, and kneaded it gently as before.
His tone of voice was the same as before, as if he was joking, making it hard to tell whether it was true or false.
Gu Qingyuan chuckled,
"Who else would it be? Before I got hairpins, the one I used most often was the Lingxiao Flower Handkerchief. But then I lost a piece of the handkerchief during a banquet, so it was useless."
She remembered the time before the marriage robbery, when he handed her a veil in front of Lu Wenze. In order not to reveal any clues in front of Lu Wenze, she denied that the veil was hers.
He really didn't expect that the veil she lost was actually with him.
I just don't know if the veil was lost or "lost"...
Pei Jinting's first reaction was to stare at her, with complex emotions hidden in his deep eyes.
Subconsciously rubbing her waist.
This made Gu Qingyuan smile, took the initiative to kiss his tense jaw, and said softly,
"Brother...tell me..."
It was like that little girl many years ago, standing in the rain and mist, and said obediently, brother, let’s be a family.
Pei Jinting has sealed all his emotions and desires in letters one after another for so many years.
Not letting anyone pry, he only thought about the day when he would carefully hold his heart in front of Gu Qingyuan.
He is not the proud man that outsiders see, he is just a drug guide in a dark corner.
The ugly birth was perfectly covered under this skin.
He was willing to be the person who was hated by Gu Qingyuan, just to appear in front of her, arouse her emotions, and prevent her from living like a dead water.
He didn't dare to blatantly let her know his strong emotions that had been accumulated over the years.
At this moment, under her full gaze and her soft words, the reason in Pei Jinting's mind collapsed.
He carried Gu Qingyuan into the study room, and the boxes of letters seemed to be able to drown her.
The distant Star-Zhaing Tower kept me awake all night.
In the study room of the other courtyard, Gu Qingyuan was unpacking one Fang Sheng after another in the empty study.
Inside is Pei Jinting’s inner voice along the way for more than ten years.
From the very beginning, he said, "Well, Yuanyuan. I think I like you."
Later, "I will like you for a long time, not just for a while."
At the end, when he was young and became mature, he said, "Gu Yuanyuan. I will love you for a long, long time."
One letter after another, time passed, the writing was mottled, and they were stored properly. Without telling everyone, he transplanted the red bean tree that Princess Rongchang had uprooted and thrown away to other courtyards and Pei Mansion.
He took care of it carefully, as if it was not the saplings that were being watered, but her hard work. Watching the red bean tree grow stronger day by day, he said,
"Yuanyuan. I regret that I reappeared in front of you in a disgraceful way when I was young."
"If I could pretend better, would you give me some kind eyes?"
Gu Qingyuan's hand holding the letter was trembling, and the moonlight outside the window was hidden in the clouds.
She opened the next letter carefully, her tears falling like continuous spring rain, soaking the thin paper in her hand.
She didn't dare to wipe it hard and kept pressing it with the skirt of her clothes, trying to absorb the excess moisture.
But I don’t want to be stained by more tears.
In her mind, she could imagine how Pei Jinting, who seemed to have infinite glory, was alone in a corner of the study, silently writing letters to her one after another that could not be seen.
He enjoyed a lot of favor, but he also paid an unknown price.
No one can understand what kind of blow he suffered when he was young.
Fate is so absurd. He seems to be full of hope, but no one cares about him.
Gu Qingyun's vision gradually became blurry, and her red and swollen eyelids made it almost impossible for her to see the handsome small letters above.
She no longer had the strength to open the letter at the back.
It turned out that Pei Jinting had engraved her in his bones and blood in a time she didn't know about.
From the rising sun to the light of a candle, there was always only one person in his heart.
In the long dark night, Pei Jinting had left the study since Gu Qingyuan opened the first Lingxiaohua letter.
He was leaning against the door, the swaying lantern making his shadow longer.
The thing that Pei Jinting regrets most in his life is that when he wanted to tell her about his happiness, she had already looked at someone else.
He had been fighting with himself for so many years, fearing that he could not give her the best.
I'm also afraid that I'm so full of darkness that I'm not worthy of her innocence.
"Pei Jingheng..." Gu Qingyuan called softly from inside the house.
Pei Jinting turned around and pushed the door open almost as soon as the first sound came.
He stopped in front of Gu Qingyuan, not daring to get closer. He felt the soreness in his heart spread to his throat, making him speechless.
"Pei Jingheng..." Gu Qingyuan raised her red and swollen eyes and stretched out her hands towards him.
"You are really bad. You bullied me from the beginning to the end. You should pay for my veil, kite, and puppet..."
Gu Qingyuan's tears welled up again.
"You obviously..." She held back tears, "You obviously treated me so badly..."
But he did so many things, all because of her.
Pei Jinting's lips moved slightly, but he felt that his throat was tighter.
It is really difficult to express this matter in words.
He suddenly hugged Gu Qingyuan, pressed her into his arms, gritted his teeth and said,
"After all, I'm just a mortal mortal."
Commonplace eyes.
"I originally wanted to watch you from afar and protect your safety throughout your life."
"But every time I see you standing next to Lu Wenze with a beautiful smile, you will become someone else's wife."
"You don't know, every time I think about it, I feel like my soul is going to fly away and turn into smoke."
"I thought that as long as you live a good life, I can just watch you quietly. It doesn't matter."
"I overestimate myself too much. Yuanyuan."
Tears welled up in Gu Qingyuan's eyes, and she suffocated in his arms, clutching the hem of his clothes tightly, crying silently.
Pei Jinting hugged her tightly, wishing he could rub her into the bones and blood, and press his lips against hers.
Gu Qingyuan obeyed and cooperated.
As if they couldn't get enough kisses, the two of them sat on the high chair in the study until the sky turned white.
Gu Qingyuan moved in his arms in a daze, trying to move to the ground.
Pei Jinting seemed to know what she was going to do, and smiled softly, "I'll take you to the clean room..."
Gu Qingyuan immediately opened her eyes, her eyes shaking with disbelief, and she was so dizzy that she almost passed away from embarrassment.
