Before she could finish her words, Gu Qingsheng felt a tightening around her waist. She cried out softly, and a force pulled her into Liu Yanqiu's arms.
A sweet feeling came from Liu Yanqiu's clothes. It was the taste of the candied haws that Gu Qingsheng had eaten during the day.
Then I felt a coolness on my face, and the wind blowing from above was a bit irritating.
The soles of her feet suddenly became suspended in the air. When Gu Qingsheng opened her eyes, she saw that she was already some distance from the ground. She was terrified and didn't care about anything else. She hugged Liu Yanqiu's waist tightly.
Because it was too dark at night, Gu Qingsheng didn't notice that the stones extending from the wall formed a series of stairs. However, these stairs could only be climbed by one person, so Liu Yanqiu held Gu Qingsheng tightly.
It was the same feeling as before. Liu Yanqiu tightened his grip and hugged Gu Qingsheng, and the feeling was even deeper.
He turned his body as far as possible, afraid that Gu Qingsheng would hear his heartbeat like a drum in the dark night.
Liu Yanqiu is very skilled, but unlike Zheng Xueyi, she is not as carefree as others. Instead, she has some childish playfulness in her. This appearance reminds Gu Qingsheng of her brother, Gu Fengnan, who took her to climb trees when they were children.
I felt a little relieved and forced myself to look up and not look at the ground below.
When they reached the roof, those people also arrived.
"Where's the person?! He was clearly here just now!"
"Running away again? Why does this kid always run so fast?"
"He should be nearby. Let's look for him carefully. We must not let him act recklessly this time!"
“…”
The flames and noise were wandering below. Gu Qingsheng, who had just climbed to the roof, was gasping for breath. It was the first time she did such a thing, and her legs were even a little weak.
Liu Yanqiu also breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead.
"I didn't expect you to be so heavy."
After a long time of relief, Gu Qingsheng finally felt better. She rolled her eyes at Liu Yanqiu and sat down with her knees hugged. The hem of her originally snow-white cloak had become much dirtier. She sighed and listened to the dark night below, looking helplessly at the moon that was very close to her.
Bai Lu must be worried to death now.
Gu Qingsheng ignored her, and Liu Yanqiu felt bored. She sat down next to Gu Qingsheng, sat closer to her, and smiled at her, revealing two small canine teeth.
"Well, girl, I'm sorry, I didn't expect to be caught by such a coincidence. I was fine several times before..."
He scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed. Gu Qingsheng still sat aside in a huff, ignoring Liu Yanqiu.
"Oh, seriously, I swear I just wanted to take you out for some good food. You see, we get along so well, I'm just trying to be a good host..."
"Besides, I was wrongly accused..."
Liu Yanqiu muttered softly, Gu Qingsheng looked at him with a squint and said coldly
"How can stealing a chicken be considered an injustice? It's obvious that Mr. Liu is an expert at stealing chickens. The chicken today is even evidence, and you're still saying it's an injustice!"
"Oh no!"
He was so anxious that he scratched his head, but he couldn't explain it clearly. His eyebrows were furrowed, and he looked a little pitiful and aggrieved.
"I haven't done this in ages! This chicken is my first time recently... but a while ago! There really were other chicken thieves in Luofo Town!"
"That guy is quite strange! He comes every night to steal chickens, then leaves a large sum of money for the family he steals them from, saying it's for the purchase!"
"The next day they accused me of doing it! They even said I left the money for them out of a guilty conscience!"
The more he spoke, the angrier he became. Liu Yanqiu crossed his arms over his chest, gnashing his teeth.
"Because of this, I was hunted by the people in town for several days! What a joke! I stole the chicken! How could I leave money for them?"
Gu Qingsheng: ...
Gu Qingsheng really didn't know what to say about Liu Yanqiu's character.
but…
Someone came to steal chickens in the middle of the night...
For no reason, Gu Qingsheng thought of the chicken soup that Xu Qingyi brought him every night during those days.
Imperial Master, stealing a chicken for yourself in the middle of the night...
Impossible...
She felt a little awkward in her heart, and thought of Xu Qingyi's otherworldly appearance, which was a little strange.
No, no, no, impossible.
That’s Xu Qingyi.
He is the most noble person in Jin and Chu, how could he steal the chicken for himself... Luofo Temple must have other ways to get the chicken, and Master Jingyuan did not stop it. It is very likely that it was the work of Luofo Temple.
It must be like this.
Thinking of this, Gu Qingsheng felt a little relieved and said to Liu Yanqiu
"This is truly a sudden disaster, Mr. Liu."
Even though he knew that it wasn't Xu Qingyi who stole the chicken, Gu Qingsheng still found the idea a little funny, and he couldn't even get angry with Liu Yanqiu.
Thinking that Gu Qingsheng was talking about the slander he had suffered some time ago, Liu Yanqiu nodded angrily.
"That's right! That's too much!"
After that, both of them were speechless.
The stars were sparse in the sky and the moon was bright, and the moonlight illuminated the figures of the two people very accurately.
Suddenly, as if she had some clever idea, Liu Yanqiu quietly left Gu Qingsheng's side and went to look for something under the red tiles.
This family might have already gone to bed, as there was no light downstairs. Liu Yanqiu made such a loud noise, and he really wasn't afraid of being discovered by them.
After a long time, a small cup was handed to Gu Qingsheng.
She looked at Liu Yanqiu beside her in confusion, but found that he had brought out a jar of wine at some point, and was holding another wine glass in his other hand.
"Want to come for a drink... Um... It seems like we've been together all day, and I still don't know your name."
It was a very dazzling smile, a warmth that could clearly illuminate the deepest darkness in a person's heart.
Just like the burning eyes of Zheng Xueyi before her death in her previous life.
This type of people are probably born to be loved by God.
I just don't know what is hidden beneath this warm smile.
Gu Qingsheng took the wine glass and let Liu Yanqiu fill it for him, then he replied softly:
"Kiyomori, my name is Kiyomori."
"The surname Qing is quite rare."
Liu Yanqiu grinned and poured himself another cup.
"But your name does coincide with the current princess's..."
After saying this, Liu Yanqiu himself was stunned.
A rich lady from the capital of Jinchu.
Chiang Saen.
Princess Changle, Gu Qingsheng.
He turned his head, and his clear eyes seemed to see into people's hearts.
Gu Qingsheng looked at him fearlessly, looking straight into Liu Yanqiu's eyes.
"You wouldn't just..."
Then, Liu Yanqiu shook his head again
"No, no, you can't be Princess Changle's."
This was unexpected for Gu Qingsheng, and he found it very funny.
"Oh? Why do you think I can't?"
