Volume 1: Painting Hall Spring Chapter 8: Trapped in the Pavilion
If you want to live, don't make a sound. Just six words made Qingxi stop all his movements immediately.
Immediately afterwards, her body was suddenly lifted into the air and carried behind a dark wall next to the bookshelf. In an instant, she was hidden in the darkness with this stranger who did not know whether he was an enemy or a friend.
Everything happened so suddenly that Qingxi was restrained and unable to move. The person behind her was obviously a strong man, and she couldn't resist. The two people outside the house were probably not ordinary officials passing by. After quickly calming down, she
Holding her breath, she quickly made a choice. She chose to believe the unknown person behind her.
The man behind her seemed to be chuckling silently in her ear. Of course, this could also be her imagination, but in such a small space, the slightest changes between two people so close could be noticed by each other.
There was a rapid push of the door, and someone walked in. Then, there was a meowing sound, probably the cat jumped out again.
"My lord, don't panic, it's just a wild cat. This library is located in a remote area, so few people come here. I just checked it, and there's no one else there."
Qingxi didn't hear any other answers. She just hoped that those two people would leave quickly and then she could solve the problems behind her.
Not long after, she heard the sound of the door being locked. She thought that no one was in the library, but she had to wait for them to leave, so she remained alert and motionless. The sound in her ears sounded again, this time a little louder, but still
That sentence: "If you want to live, don't make a sound."
She rolled her eyes and understood what he meant without having to think carefully. What he meant was that she couldn't shout after she was out of his control. In fact, she had no intention of doing so. Could it be that she couldn't bring back the people who were far away, so she obeyed
's nodded.
The hand around her mouth suddenly let go, and she gasped for air. The person behind her seemed to push her. She staggered and almost lost her balance. She suddenly turned around in anger, but saw the other person close at hand, each other's eyes.
There seemed to be no gaps between the clothes, and then she remembered that the two of them had been close to each other before. Her cheeks turned red instantly. Fortunately, there was no light in the surroundings, so she couldn't see each other's faces clearly. Otherwise, she would have to dig a hole in her blushing face.
.
She immediately took two steps back and whispered, "Who are you?"
"Your savior!" The man's tone was soft, obviously much gentler than the deep and solemn tone just now.
Qingxi couldn't see his appearance clearly, and could only observe the general outline of his figure, which should be tall and wide.
"Who are you? Why are you here?" She said in an imposing manner.
But the other party smiled softly and took two steps forward: "Who is the girl? And why is she here? Is it because of the litter of kittens?"
When Qingxi heard what he said, he felt angry. Could it be that he was there when she just stepped into the library? She didn't notice it at all! This man is so disgusting, he actually hid in the dark and peeped. "You did this.
It’s really not what a gentleman would do!”
"Oh? I saved you, so I'm no longer a gentleman?" The other party didn't seem to be angry, and his tone became slower and slower.
"How come you were the only one who saved me? You are a good person, so you covered my mouth and controlled me forcefully without asking any questions. Maybe you are the thief with evil intentions!"
The other party snorted softly, "Then you still won't leave?"
Qingxi cursed in her heart, if I could leave now, I would still be entangled with you. The sound of locking just now was obvious, the only door must be locked, how can one get out. I am afraid that the patrol team will not know this place.
He came so frequently, but it was eerily quiet outside the house right now, and calling for help was useless.
She was just thinking about how to escape when she saw the figure in front of her walking past her and standing in front of the similarly locked window pane. Looking out, the light coming through the hollow patterns also illuminated his face. Clear
Only then did Xi realize that the other party was an extraordinary and handsome young man, with thin eyebrows and thick eyes, deep eyes, a high bridge of nose, and curved thin lips. However, he did not have the arrogance or arrogance of the young masters in Shangdu City at all.
The atmospheric connotation.
This person is just as eye-catching as her brother. This is her most direct evaluation.
"You're not too stupid to know that you can't get out now." The man's voice sounded obviously provocative.
This quickly brought Qingxi back to her senses. Although she thought he looked good, she really didn't like his attitude. After thinking about it, the current situation was to find a way out, so she decided to change her policy and suppress her unhappiness.
He asked as calmly as possible: "How can I get out?"
The other party seemed a little surprised to see her change of attitude and turned to look at her. Qingxi was not sure whether he could see her clearly because she was still standing in the darkness.
"The doors and windows are locked. The patrol team will not come here. If no one comes to look for it, I'm afraid they will have to wait until dawn." The man seemed calm.
"What?" Qingxi asked in surprise. What's worse, her father thought he was at Shen Tong's place, and Shen Tong thought she had returned to his place. How could anyone come looking for her now?
"Will anyone come to find you?" she asked again hurriedly.
The other party shook his head, "Not so fast." As he said that, he walked to the bookshelf on the side, took off the black cloth to cover the dust, shook off the dust, spread it on the ground, and sat down on the ground as leisurely as he could.
.
Seeing his calm and unhurried look, Qingxi felt even more anxious in her heart, but she still tried her best to rationally tell herself that she had to think calmly.
"Miss Ling, it's a long night, do you plan to just stand like that?"
Qingxi just wanted to sort out everything tonight, but she was stunned for a long time when he heard his question. "How did you know that my surname is Ling?"
