Synopsis: [Arranged marriage to love, loving without knowing it] #Opposing path couple#
The renowned young general Xie Yunshuo, the foremost noble son in the capital with illustrious military...
Chapter 43 Will you still wear this pajamas from now on? ...
After a few words, Xie Yunshuo finally realized that it was Jiang Si who bullied him and accidentally hurt him.
For some unknown reason, he became cautious again.
I also have to be on guard against whether she is unhappy and talk to her to comfort her.
Where is justice?
However, Xie Yunshuo didn't feel anything about it, nor did he feel that he had suffered a loss.
He used these two sentences to relieve his inner anxiety, arbitrarily putting labels on Jiang Si and making assumptions about her. It was reasonable for her to be unhappy.
So it’s worth coaxing her a few words.
He looked at Jiang Si's expression again and didn't find that she was unhappy at all. Perhaps the joke that came later lightened the atmosphere.
Jiang Si simply went back to the bed, sat down along the edge, put her feet on the edge, and hugged her knees.
Why is she in this posture? Is she feeling unhappy?
Xie Yunshuo didn't understand what was going on and sat down next to her.
"What are you thinking about?" he asked, tilting his head.
Looking at her like this, she didn't seem to be angry because of what he had just said. If she wasn't angry, why was she sitting like this, looking a bit pitiful?
Jiang Si looked to the side and did not respond to him.
Xie Yunshuo tilted his head and bent over to look at her expression.
He came so close that Jiang Si was frightened and immediately moved her upper body away.
"what you do?"
"I think something's wrong with you."
"I'm just sitting like this...I feel comfortable sitting here." Jiang Si didn't tell the truth.
In fact, I didn’t want Xie Yunshuo to see too many things that he shouldn’t see.
It turned out not to be what he worried about. Xie Yunshuo sat up straight and said, "I'm glad you're not worried."
Xie Yunshuo kept thinking about what he had said just now, not knowing which sentence he had said wrong, but Jiang Si was just wondering whether to continue tonight.
When he turned his head, he saw Xie Yunshuo's lips again. The red hole on his lips was more obviously swollen than before.
She stared at the accidental coincidence, but still said, "Do you want to continue?"
She spoke frankly about what she was thinking, and Xie Yunshuo had a subtle expression.
She actually wants to continue?
He coughed lightly, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say.
He touched the bridge of his nose again and said, "Since you ask, I must continue."
He couldn't bear the injury on his lip in vain, how could he just give up?
After exchanging opinions, the two looked at each other in silence for a long time.
Jiang Si only then realized that when sitting like this, because the distance was so close, she only needed to slightly raise her head to see Xie Yunshuo's face up close.
When they faced each other sideways, they could see his handsome profile, as perfect as a mountain and as white as jade, as sharp as a knife and as handsome as a sword.
He looked at people intently, becoming less arrogant and wanting to be pleasing to the eye.
She looked at him for a few times, but saw that his eyes were getting deeper, and the distance between them was gradually getting closer, until their breaths were entangled with each other.
It was so close that I could no longer see the fine details of his eyebrows or the distinct eyelashes.
Xie Yunshuo's eyebrows and eyes were blurred into a mass of ink with unclear edges.
Jiang Si's heart suddenly jumped up, and Xie Yunshuo's mind went blank.
However, just as their lips were about to touch, Jiang Si stepped back a few inches.
Xie Yunshuo's eyebrows were suspicious and he asked, "What's wrong?"
"You'd better wait until the wound on your mouth heals before trying again." There was a barely perceptible hint of panic in Jiang Si's tone.
Xie Yunshuo naturally couldn't hear it. He was stunned, as if someone had torn a big hole in his chest, letting in a cool breeze.
She came closer, then moved away, causing his heart, which had just been beating fast, to fluctuate violently.
If he stopped now, wouldn't all his heart be beating in vain?
"Are you really not going to continue?" he asked again, in disbelief.
"You hurt your mouth. Wait until it heals."
In fact, this was just an excuse Jiang Si used to delay. She didn't have to touch her broken lips again, but there were other ways.
The reason for saying this is that this time, Jiang Si herself felt "timid to be close to him".
After getting rid of her previous bad impression of Xie Yunshuo's body, she liked him more and more.
Every line and turn in his body is strong, powerful, solid and reliable.
More importantly, when they were alone together, his increasingly patient attitude made her feel like her heart was being kneaded and then crushed into a ball again.
She needed time to unwind it, to return to normal.
Jiang Si couldn't help but feel flustered when she thought about what earth-shattering things might happen if the night was not interrupted.
No one is perfect. His retreat at the last minute was not due to Jiang Si's trickery, but rather his hesitation after panicking.
Jiang Si didn't know whether Xie Yunshuo could accept her poor excuse. He seemed to care more about it than she did and was particularly cooperative with this matter.
After Jiang Si moved away from him, she kept an eye on Xie Yunshuo's expression to see if he changed his expression.
Xie Yunshuo did have regrets.
His heart was beating fast just now, waiting for that moment, and his emotions were so turbulent that it was hard to describe.
The two of them happened to make a mistake in their actions just now, and in their panic they didn't taste anything at all. They didn't know whether Jiang Si's lips were sweet or soft.
So when she seemed to be about to kiss him back, Xie Yunshuo looked forward to it, with a strange feeling rising in his heart.
Perhaps he was too curious, so when Jiang Si retreated, he became obsessed and couldn't stop thinking about her.
Realizing that he was so concerned and serious, Xie Yunshuo, in order to hide his feelings, said stubbornly: "It's okay, let's do it next time."
He tried to speak calmly and pretend that he didn't care, hiding what he was thinking so that Jiang Si would think that he didn't care.
The result of showing off was that Jiang Si sat back a few inches, widening the distance between the two of them again.
He said happily: "Since you are not in a hurry, then take your time and wait a while."
Xie Yunshuo couldn't help but take a breath and felt a little regretful.
It shouldn't be like this...
Is it too late to worry now?
He shouldn't go against his own heart just to show off his power. He was also impatient and spoke his mind without thinking, and in order to save face, he sacrificed his own interests.
But Jiang Si didn't think much about it, and just did what he said, which just satisfied her.
Xie Yunshuo always felt that anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was not in a good state and that everything he did was to cover up, and it didn't matter whether he wanted to or not. But Jiang Si didn't care about him, so naturally she wouldn't think too much about it.
Xie Yunshuo's heart was restless like a cat scratching, but when it came to love affairs, he was an inexperienced young man and had never experienced this before.
No matter how anxious I am, I have no place to release my energy and I don’t know what to do.
It was as if there was a wall in front of him with no exit. Even if there were many beautiful flowers competing for beauty behind the wall, he could only hold back his anger and worry.
He cooperated very well, and Jiang Si pulled the quilt to cover herself with satisfaction.
"Then you go back first."
Xie Yunshuo sat on the edge of the bed, speechless and with a complicated expression.
Jiang Si kicked him lightly with her toes hidden in the corner of the quilt: "Why aren't you moving?"
Xie Yunshuo asked stiffly, "Are you going to wear this pajamas again?"
In fact, what he wanted to express was that he wanted to see it again next time, but because he frowned slightly when he spoke, he seemed reluctant, so Jiang Si naturally understood that he didn't want to see her dressed like this again.
Thinking she understood his thoughts completely, Jiang Si cooperated kindly.
"If you don't want to look like this, then don't wear it in the future. It just so happens that I'm not used to it either. I wouldn't have guessed you're quite upright, not bad."
Xie Yunshuo's expression froze, and then gradually cracked.
He wanted to say that Jiang Si had misunderstood and that was not what he meant, but with her praise before him, the words on his lips were hard to say and he swallowed them back.
His inner thoughts were ultimately defeated by his pride, and he was unable to speak his true feelings.
Originally, he couldn't bring himself to say that.
What did he say? He said he wanted to see her dressed like this?
I really can't say.
Xie Yunshuo hesitated for a while, adjusting his fluctuating mood and his restless heart.
In addition, he also wanted to find other ways to make up for it, for example, to let Jiang Si know that he agreed to cancel the marriage consummation not because he "didn't want to", but to cooperate with her wishes.
Lest she be ungrateful.
But Jiang Si was so beautiful today that Xie Yunshuo couldn't help himself and his mind was in a mess when he looked at her face.
Jiang Si was still waiting for him to leave, but Xie Yunshuo didn't move and had a strange expression on his face. Jiang Si was puzzled.
"Why don't you leave?"
Xie Yunshuo's eyes wandered, he didn't dare to look, and made up a nonsense reason.
"Because I miss this bed in my room, I want to sit on it again."
"Then you sit down." Jiang Si ignored him, lay down, covered herself with the quilt, turned sideways to the inside of the bed, and fell asleep. She also left him a sentence, "Remember to help me put out the candle when you leave."
After she said this, Xie Yunshuo had to leave even if he didn't want to.
Xie Yunshuo stared at Jiang Si in disbelief for a long time.
A quarter of an hour ago, the two of them were blushing and their hearts were beating fast. How could she recover so quickly?
Women are truly heartless.
Xie Yunshuo was helpless and could only stand up, put on his clothes silently, help her extinguish the candle on the table, and then leave silently.
He felt that he was not the master of Xian Yi Ju, but rather a servant beside Jiang Si, who came and went at her command and took her orders.
On the way back to the study, Xie Yunshuo felt more and more uncomfortable.
It was a cold night with a cool breeze, and he was all alone.
Jiang Si was sleeping soundly in the room.
She asked him to take off his clothes and put them on himself.
There is also a dull pain on my lips.
Xie Yunshuo had never felt the word "sorrow", but thanks to Jiang Si, he felt it this time.
After he left, Jiang Si, who was lying on her side on the bed, opened her eyes, covered her chest, and took small breaths to help her breathe more evenly.
This unprecedented experience not only destroyed and changed Xie Yunshuo, but also made her feel panicked.
It's just that she is good at concealing things, unlike Xie Yunshuo who is impatient and easily reveals his true feelings.
In the past, she didn't think about it at all, just seeing it as a household chore that had to be done, and she never thought deeply about what kind of process it was.
Only when she got involved did Jiang Si realize that it was not that simple.
Especially the person opposite is Xie Yunshuo.
She still remembers that the thing that impressed her most was the polo game that year.
Xie Yunshuo and his cousin Jiang Zixi each took one side and held their own opinion.
From her perspective, she didn't see what Xie Yunshuo was talking about, she only heard her uncle judge that her cousin won.
Xie Yunshuo and his group of friends were very excited. They held sticks in their hands and had a tough attitude.
Because they heard that this group of people were playboys and causing trouble, and were worried that Xie Yunshuo would attack Jiang Zixi, they gathered as a crowd to help seek justice.
At that time, Xie Yunshuo's face turned ashen and he stared at her seriously.
Perhaps it was because Xie Yunshuo looked ferocious and imposing, and his eyes seemed to be murderous.
He left such a deep impression on her at that time that Jiang Si always felt wary of Xie Yunshuo later on.
They were afraid that he would get angry and scold them, so they looked at him as if he were their natural enemy.
Even after they got married, there was no harmony between the two.
It's rare for the two of them not to quarrel or argue.
Jiang Si, who also had no experience in love, initially thought that they could just turn off the lights, lie in the same bed, and let things happen naturally, without any thought about the details.
Even the last failure didn't leave much of an impression on her.
But why is today so different?
When she thought about it, it was probably because Xie Yunshuo defended her that she changed her opinion of him.
It dispelled the impression left on her mind by the past.
Therefore, in the Red Luan tent, when the two looked at each other without any old grudges or preconceived impressions, there was a certain indescribable appropriateness.
This was the first time that she didn't really argue or confront Xie Yunshuo, and she almost had a kiss with him. This made Jiang Si feel like she was in a mysterious world and she lost her composure.
The fact that she dressed like this again today made people feel even more embarrassed and uneasy.
With all these things added together, it is extremely difficult to remain calm.
Such confusion brings about illusions.
She didn't know whether it was because of what happened today or because of Xie Yunshuo that she became like this. She tossed and turned, feeling uneasy.
Fortunately, Xie Yunshuo was allowed to leave, otherwise when the arrow was on the string, I would not be able to bear it and would not know what to do.
Thinking about what happened before, Jiang Si's face turned red.
She felt a little strange.
She has always been a decisive person, so why is she going backwards now?
Next time, next time, don’t do this again. Close your eyes, grit your teeth and everything will be over.
After some reflection, Jiang Si decided to be more decisive next time and not have so many worries and thoughts. They were so complicated and confusing that they made her indecisive. It would be unlike her to be indecisive and quick.
After thinking it over for a long time, making a plan, and convincing herself, Jiang Si went to sleep.
She didn't know how Xie Yunshuo spent that night.
Someone was being tortured like he was on fire. He tried everything because he couldn't get what he wanted. He tossed and turned for half the night, but his body was still hard and hot.
The fire in his heart seemed to have been poisoned by some powerful medicine and could not be stopped. Every time it got better, he would think of Jiang Si, of her fiery and tough nature, full of thorns, of her unyielding spirit, cruel words and hard heart, it was like adding firewood to the fire, which grew stronger against the wind and made his whole body burn fiercely.
From hearsay and various opinions, Xie Yunshuo always knew that Jiang Si was a unique and upright woman.
Now that they were getting to know each other better and understood each other better, she was like the fire in his heart, becoming brighter and more radiant.
Especially tonight, he also saw her unique side, and all these factors combined made it difficult for Xie Yunshuo to cope.
At this moment, he realized it belatedly. Looking back, the reason why he agreed to Jiang Si's pause was because he didn't want her to take back the good look she had shown him.
After realizing this, Xie Yunshuo became even more depressed.
From childhood to adulthood, his temperament has changed a little, but the only thing that has not changed is his pride in not admitting defeat. Why did he lose to Jiang Si?
Xie Yunshuo lowered his head, looking at the burning sin that was difficult to appease, feeling very depressed.
This is all her fault.
Jiang Si is his nemesis and natural enemy.
There was really no other way, so Xie Yunshuo asked the servant on duty to bring a bucket of cold water. He soaked in the cold water for fifteen minutes and recited the "Purifying Heart Sutra" several times before he finally got better.
This whole ordeal lasted until the late night, and caused him to sleep late the next day.
If Jiaoshan hadn't called him twice, he wouldn't know how long he would have fallen asleep.
When the master and servants hurried to the front, Jiang Si had been waiting for a long time.
She looked Xie Yunshuo up and down: "Why are you up late?"
Qiu Ze was worried that the lady would blame their master, so when he saw that the master was silent, he took the initiative to explain: "I hope the lady will understand. The master didn't go to bed until three o'clock yesterday."
Before he could finish his words, Xie Yunshuo interrupted him: "It's just that I woke up from a nightmare and slept twice."
After saying that, he winked at Qiu Ze, telling him not to talk nonsense.
Xie Yunshuo felt guilty and didn't want Jiang Si to know what he was doing that kept him awake last night, so he could only tell a lie.
But he comforted himself that this was not a lie, because Jiang Si was indeed his nightmare.
I couldn't sleep because of the nightmare, so I had to find a way to solve it.
Jiang Si looked at him with a hint of suspicion, but amid Xie Yunshuo's uneasiness, the suspicion eventually dissipated.
"Then let's go quickly and don't keep mother-in-law waiting for too long."
From what Jiang Si knew, she had no idea what a man would do if his wish was not fulfilled. Since she couldn't imagine it, she had no way of realizing that Xie Yunshuo's words were false.
She had no doubts, but she felt that Xie Yunshuo was a little strange, and even his temperament had changed.
When did he become so gentle? It made her feel a little strange.
Because she felt unfamiliar with him, Jiang Si looked at Xie Yunshuo several times along the way.
Xie Yunshuo was very nervous when she looked at him, and he always thought that she was going to see something.
Whenever she looked at him, Xie Yunshuo would wonder if there was something on him, or if there was some smell that gave him away, causing her to become suspicious.
The two people have their own ulterior motives and are thinking about different things.
After walking a few steps, Xie Yunshuo suddenly stopped and sneezed twice.
He looks like he has a cold, he must have caught a chill.
Now that he was her husband, Jiang Si was concerned about him: "What did you dream about? Did you accidentally not dress properly at night? How did you catch a cold?"
Xie Yunshuo knew it was because he'd been so furious the previous day that he'd had to cool down with a cold bath. He'd been so impulsive and agitated, his body already hot, and then he'd gone to the cold bath, especially in late autumn. The sudden change in temperature had strained even his iron frame, and that was why he'd sneezed twice.
He knew the reason, but he couldn't tell the truth in response.
One lie required countless lies to cover it up. To explain why he caught a cold, Xie Yunshuo had no choice but to tell Jiang Si, "I was frightened by a nightmare, so I got up and walked around. I forgot to put on a cloak, and that's when I caught a cold."
Jiang Si had no doubts and even taught him: "You are about to go to war, so you must not be careless. You must take good care of yourself. Don't get sick and be unable to defeat the enemy. I am still waiting for you to let me become the general's wife."
The people on Jiang Si's side were fine. Xie Yunshuo and his close followers all lowered their heads to hide their expressions.
I was afraid that my wife would notice something was wrong.
Qiu Ze and Jiao Shan were both extremely surprised. Xie Yunshuo actually lied for Jiang Si! And he made up such a convincing lie!
In the past, Xie Yunshuo was always straightforward and never told lies to anyone. He always spoke his mind without fear of offending anyone and lived an upright life.
Now not only is he hiding something from his wife, not daring to let her know and not allowing them to speak directly, but he is also being lectured by his wife because of the aftereffects of what happened last night.
Xie Yunshuo, however, was at a loss for words. After Jiang Si's lecture, he nodded and said, "Yes, I understand. You're right. We must take good care of ourselves during this critical period. We need to be strong and healthy for the battlefield in the future."
Everyone's heart is full of excitement.
In addition to being surprised at Xie Yunshuo's transformation, he was also amazed at how good his wife was. She had made Xie Yunshuo, such an unruly wild horse, gradually become stable. He no longer held his head high and looked down on everyone.
After saying a few words, Jiang Si looked at Xie Yunshuo again.
Seeing that he looked a little tired and his voice had changed after sneezing, he said, "When you come back later, I'll ask a doctor to see you. If you really have caught a cold, make some medicine and drink it as soon as possible."
She spoke with righteous words and was truly doing it for his own good, so Xie Yunshuo naturally had to obey.
He nodded and said, "It's up to you."
At this moment, the way the two of them get along is completely different from when they first got married.
However, since Xie Yunshuo was the one who lied first and felt guilty, he was extra obedient.
When this moment of guilt is over, he may not be so obedient as to be unlike himself.
Xie Yunshuo pondered secretly in his heart, thinking back, he felt that because he didn't lie often, his lie was a little obvious.
He shouldn't be so guilty and just let Jiang Si say whatever she wants. Otherwise, if she gets used to it, won't she bully him even more in the future?
The two walked in silence. Xie Yunshuo took an extra step forward, tilted his head slightly, and glanced at Jiang Si out of the corner of his eye to see her expression.
Jiang Si was seen looking straight ahead with a calm gaze. Because of her dignified demeanor, she had an outstanding temperament and a sense of tranquility.
Her face, as pure and clear as white jade, faced the bright and clear sky, showing a soft luster, and there seemed to be a touch of white halo on the cheek, which was extremely beautiful.
The corners of her rosy lips are slightly curved, and her eyelashes are curled and charming.
She looks quite different from before.
Is she happy? Xie Yunshuo wondered silently.
Is it because he answers her questions kindly and cooperates with her in everything, that even if she doesn't show her happiness, her mood will become stable and happy, is that right?
If that was the case, then later on, when he was in a better mood, it wouldn't be a bad idea for him to listen to her like he did just now, without refuting or refusing.
The relationship between the two is a foregone conclusion. As husband and wife, they should be humble and tolerant of each other, which is the right thing to do.
Xie Yunshuo was thinking a lot, and a big drama was almost going on in his heart. However, Jiang Si's attention was not actually on the few words the two of them had just said.
Because she felt that everything Xie Yunshuo did was justified.
He caught a cold after being restless at night, so she asked her to see a doctor. He agreed. It was such a natural thing, was there any need to think about it in detail?
What made her happy was that the two of them had "parted on bad terms" last night. He had feelings for her but she didn't agree, but today it was as if nothing had happened.
Xie Yunshuo never held a grudge, which was a rare thing. Jiang Si had been waiting for him to get up before, and she had pondered it in her spare time. She thought that Xie Yunshuo had agreed last night, but then regretted it after returning to his room. She would become more and more angry the more she thought about it, and that was why he treated her coldly today.
He didn't, and she was delighted by the accident.
Although it was not what Xie Yunshuo had imagined, it was the same result and a big step for the couple to maintain a peaceful relationship.
