After drinking the tea, the almond flavor in my mouth has faded a lot, but there is still a slight lingering taste.
Zhang Qingjiu curled his lips as he looked at the pear blossom cake that was once again presented to him, wrapped in a handkerchief.
Don't take advantage of the bastard.
After drinking all the tea, it doesn’t matter if you have one more snack, right?
Anyway, if Chu Lan uses this as an excuse in the future, it won't be much different.
After all, it was something he liked. It was very different as soon as he put it in his mouth. Compared with the pear blossom cakes outside, the ones in the palace were even more exquisite. Zhang Qingjiu couldn't help but squint his eyes.
"Is it feeling better?" Chu Lan took the pear-shaped cake wrapped in the handkerchief back into her sleeve, sighed softly, and cast her gaze into the endless void of night.
"Hmm." After all, Zhang Qingjiu responded softly, his tone becoming a bit softer without even noticing it.
Listening to the sound that was obviously made by someone who was satisfied, Chu Lan couldn't help but smile lowly, feeling inexplicably happy in her heart, "You must be more careful from now on, I won't be able to be with you every time..."
Halfway through his words, he stopped abruptly.
Zhang Qingjiu narrowed his eyes and looked at him steadily.
Chu Lan's eyes flashed, and her voice returned to its previous calmness, "Most of the desserts in the palace are made similarly. I will ask them to prepare this almond cake again."
"Yeah!" Zhang Qingjiu snorted softly, grinding his molars.
She originally thought that something romantic would happen if he chased her with tea and snacks, but she was even ready to "forgive" him.
At this point, he was actually able to swallow it back!
Sure enough, he is a dog man! If he is not a dog, he is not a dog man!
The obvious change in the tone of the people around him naturally did not escape Chu Lan's ears. Looking at the deep night, a trace of painful struggle flashed in Chu Lan's eyes. Finally, he took a deep breath, turned around, and opened the corners of his mouth slightly,
"you……"
Just at this moment——
"I've been out for a while, I have to go back." Zhang Qingjiu raised his eyebrows and walked towards Fengyi Hall without looking back.
The days in August are getting cooler, and the night wind is blowing gently, making people's skirts fly.
Chu Lan looked at that graceful figure, and suddenly something felt empty in her heart.
Almost subconsciously, Chu Lan quickly caught up and grabbed Zhang Qingjiu's wrist.
Zhang Qingjiu, who was walking quickly forward, was unaware of the sudden impact. In an instant, his body was knocked backwards and bumped into a warm chest.
The familiar breath rushed to her face in an instant. The big hand that she had only pulled before took the initiative and carefully placed it on the back of her head, and then inch by inch, gently but firmly pressed her against the thin but broad head.
On the shoulder, "Ahjiu, I'm sorry."
Four words, like the whisper of gods, like the murmur of demons, like flowers blooming in spring, like green grass breaking out of the ground... gently, shallowly, and quietly, but they so eagerly disturbed Zhang Qingjiu's emotions.
Heartstrings.
At this moment, Zhang Qingjiu couldn't hold back his tears anymore, and his eyes filled up, and he replied, "Chu Lan, you bitch."
He is a real dog man. If he was not a dog, how could he have called her selfish in front of Suzaku's door? How could he look at him with such indifferent eyes in the court? Why did he come to apologize at this time?
This sentence is really said without any grace.
It also ruined the rippling warmth.
But Chu Lan smiled, "It's my dog, just don't be angry anymore."
"Don't think that just because you admit that you are a dog, I will forgive you."
"I know."
"Don't think that if you hug me, I will be grateful to you."
"I know."
"Don't think you..."
"I know everything."
Sighing deeply, Chu Lan patted Zhang Qingjiu's shoulder, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, "As long as you don't get angry anymore, don't let yourself get hurt again."
In the destined year, I thought I should leave here, but unexpectedly I met her.
From then on, the dark life had a bright light.
Taking a deep breath of Chu Lan's scent and feeling the excitement in his soul, Zhang Qingjiu finally curled up the corners of his lips with satisfaction.
Does this count as her finally waiting until the iron tree blooms?
Does that mean that I can get my soul back soon?
When he thought of this, Zhang Qingjiu's eyes lit up and he hummed softly, "How can others hurt me?"
What she said sounded arrogant and wanton, but in Chu Lan's ears, it had a different flavor.
The arms holding her tightened for a moment, and in the dark night, Chu Lan's eyes flashed with depth.
Yes, when she came back from the Palace of Prayer and faced others, when did she ever suffer a loss? But unfortunately, she was injured many times because of herself...
"Ajiu, I know your abilities, but there are some things... I can do it myself." Chu Lan squinted her eyes and whispered.
"You come here because you come, but I said I want to protect you just to protect you." Zhang Qingjiu frowned, raised his head, and said seriously: "You don't have to feel embarrassed, I protect you just to protect myself.
.”
Chu Lan was startled for a moment, but finally couldn't help but smile low and rubbed Zhang Qingjiu's head.
"But I have to admit that I didn't tell you what I was going to do and made you worried and anxious. I didn't do it well." Admitting mistakes has always been a good virtue that Zhang Qingjiu believes in. "I and you
Apologize."
Chu Lan narrowed her eyes, smiled and shook her head, "No need to apologize, just don't make me worry next time."
"There won't be a next time." Zhang Qingjiu raised the corners of his lips.
As long as the soul comes back, then she can walk sideways! Do you still need to worry and worry?!
Listening to Zhang Qingjiu's sworn assurance, Chu Lan sighed softly, looked at the endless void and said: "Have you ever thought that sometimes, just watching something happen without intervening is a wonderful step?
chess."
"It depends on what it is." Zhang Qingjiu raised his eyebrows, "It's okay to let nature take its course for things that have nothing to do with me, but if this problem happens to someone I care about, it doesn't matter whether it's good or bad.
"
The wind was blowing, and when the two of them returned to Fengyi Hall one after another, several eyes looked at them in unison.
Murong Xiaoxiao happily ran to Zhang Qingjiu and took her hand, "Sister Qingjiu, I was telling my brother about you saving him just now. We were thinking about how to thank you properly.
"
"Thank you?" Zhang Qingjiu raised his eyebrows and subconsciously looked at Murong Yunfei.
Didn't she make an agreement? She saves him, and he helps her. We don't owe each other anything.
"Yes." Murong Yunfei chuckled, stood up and walked towards Zhang Qingjiu step by step, with a shrewd look in his shrewd eyes, "Master Xiao Zhang is both wise and brave, and has extraordinary courage. He is truly a rare rare woman in the world, Xiao Zhang
The king has nothing to repay, so according to the custom of Dahui, how about... I promise you my life?"
With that said, Murong Yunfei knelt down towards Chu Wei with a snap, "Your Majesty, the little king is willing to spend a hundred miles to marry Lord Xiao Zhang and become my Princess Qiudi, so as to marry Qin and Jin!"
