Chapter 1963 [Shangxie] Stranger

She hardly dared to get close.

Xia Fuyi's body was still stained with the mud that had rolled through the flowers and the coolness of the night in the capital. She had traveled through countless cities and wildernesses in the spring, and the fatigue accumulated in the pursuit that never stopped for a single day had also accumulated on her shoulders.

At this moment, she looked at the silhouette with the wind, frost, rain and dew she had experienced in the past two months, but she felt a little timid and fearful as if she was homesick.

She didn't dare get close.

She was afraid that the familiar shadow now reflected in her eyes was just a false recognition. If that was the case, she would have to go through many more confused and aimless searches before she could find another familiar figure.

But she didn't have much time to hesitate, as the man glanced in her direction.

It was just a very cold and nonchalant glance, the moonlight reflected in his eyes seemed to be covered with frost, as if it had nothing to do with him.

He seemed to not care who the visitor was, but that did not prevent Xia Fuyi from seeing clearly into his eyes.

Those were a pair of eyes that looked even clearer and colder in the moonlight, like amber soaked in snow water. One glance made her hold the stone in her sleeve tightly.

She stood there in a daze, her heart beginning to pound.

But after a glance, that person turned back again, still leaning against the screen, with his drooping black eyelashes covering all the emotions that could not be concealed.

His fingers holding the wine jar moved slightly, and then there was no movement.

It was like the person who came in was just an insignificant stranger.

But this stranger was not shy. She quickly walked over and squatted in front of the man, almost cautiously.

The corner of her green robe fell to the ground. She put down her sword and looked straight into his eyes. After a moment, she called him softly and firmly,

"Li Chi."

The man did not reply. After a moment of silence, he slowly said,

"Who are you calling?"

If the young palace maid was present, she would definitely be very surprised. For two whole months, she had been trying every possible way to seduce the man to say a word almost every day, but even when they met for the first time, the man never uttered a word when he saw her, the intruder.

At this moment, she was still an intruder, and not as talkative as her, but she made the man make a sound for the first time in two months.

Perhaps it had been a long time since he had spoken, and his voice was low and hoarse, as cold as ice water. When it was poured on Xia Fuyi, it did not discourage her at all.

She continued to look at the man, not saying much, but very sure.

"I'm calling you."

She said, and then slowly formed a not very skilled smile at the corner of her mouth, small but enough to amaze the shimmering moonlight on the ground.

"I finally found you."

The man looked at her silently and wordlessly. There was some emotion surging in the deepest part of his eyes, but it was suppressed violently, leaving only a pair of indifferent and calm eyes.

This is a very unfamiliar look.

Xia Fuyi finally gradually came out of her joy under such gazes. The smile on her lips subsided, and she began to look the person in front of her from top to bottom involuntarily.

The first impression at first glance is that he has lost weight.

The body, thinner than before they parted, was wrapped in a crimson robe, which highlighted the distinct collarbone and pale arms.

Li Chi used to wear only black, and back then Xia Fuyi felt that no one in the world could be more suited to black than him. But now, looking at the man in a red robe, Xia Fuyi also thought he was very handsome... but at the same time, he looked very strange.
