It was already late at night when we returned to Qingxiu Mansion.
The carriage that Xiao Xu was riding in rumbled into the mansion. After getting off the horse, she stretched her waist a few times.
He rubbed his lower back and walked into the yard.
When the guards saw her, they nodded and saluted and let her in.
In the light of the lanterns, the journey back seemed longer.
"Are you back?"
A cold voice rang out from around the corner, startling Xiao. After seeing who was standing there, he heaved a sigh of relief and said calmly, "Well, the old emperor only asked about trivial matters. He really suggested that I live in the Sacrifice Temple, just like you told me, but I didn't agree."
Ana Shen turned around and leaned against the wall, his side profile looking particularly delicate in the dim candlelight.
His beautiful eyelashes could even be seen in the shape of a small fan in the dim candlelight.
The gaze he returned carried a familiar indifference and harshness.
For some reason, Xiao Xu's mind suddenly emerged with a scene where he turned around and saw that person standing at the end of the street where the lights were dim.
Didn't she discover him by accident?
"come over."
Um?
Xiao took small steps and walked over.
Glancing at his injured hand, which had been wrapped in new gauze, she guessed that he had discovered that she had picked up his handkerchief and hidden it away.
Is he here to call for punishment?
Shen Yanjin reached out and pulled the person in front of him, raised his injured hand and spread it out, and in his palm lay a finely crafted handkerchief quietly.
On the corner of the handkerchief, there was an embroidered word "Chen".
Xiao Yan: "..."
They really are going to bring an army to hold someone accountable!
Ana Shen: “What is this.”
Xiao said: "Handkerchief."
Ana Shen raised his eyebrows: “I’m not blind, why is the handkerchief on you.”
Xiao Xu lowered his head and replied calmly, "I found it. If you throw things away carelessly, it might be picked up by someone with bad intentions. It would be a dangerous opportunity for them to take advantage of you."
The air suddenly became heavy after a while.
Ana Shen's eyes were deep, his injured hand gently pinched her chin, slowly lifted her head, and forced her eyes to meet his.
He snorted, "You care about me."
Xiao Xu was startled. She quickly struggled to free herself and looked to the other side, wanting to take a few steps back.
But her waist was grasped and her chin was lifted up again, meeting those dark pupils.
Ana Shen lowered his eyes, bent his body slightly, lowered his head, and locked his deep gaze on her.
There was a hint of laughter in his tone: "Am I wrong? Or..."
He put his arm around her waist and pulled her forward, so that they were almost hugging each other. The sound of her heartbeat and breathing seemed to be right next to his ears.
He then said, "Xiao Yu, what I said... is not right?"
How could Xiao He dare to answer? Her pupils were shrinking and her eyeballs were dilated!
In this situation, she even had difficulty breathing, let alone speaking.
Ana Shen pinched her chin with a little force, and her expression became a little deeper: "Be good, answer, I will know if you lie."
The coaxing voice seemed to work on Xiao Yan. She opened her mouth and said coldly, "I, I care about you... If anything happens to you, and I transform back into a bird, who else will be able to take me in like you did?"
Ana Shen let go of his hand and snorted coldly: “That’s all?”
Xiao murmured: “?”
Otherwise, what else?
When she was about to say a few more nice words, Ana Shen glanced at her, and the coldness in his eyes was like looking at a dead object, which made her feel creepy.
Xiao: "I..."
Ana Shen turned around and left without looking back.
At night, his shadow was particularly long in the moonlight.
Xiao Xu looked puzzled.
