Chu Li watched him hide in the inner room. There was no time to ask him to leave. He had no choice but to do this.
shameless.
Maybe he's always been like this.
Chu Li cursed inwardly a few times and said to the outsider, "Come in."
Soon, Nuanyu brought Qin Muyu here.
The moment their eyes met, Qin Muyu's eyes instantly turned red. He looked aggrieved, like a child whose candy had been taken away from him. Chu Li immediately stood up, somewhat at a loss:
“You are…”
"Ahri."
His voice was hoarse, "You finally agreed to see me."
Twenty-seven days.
He counted the days on his fingers every day, and even his dreams at night were about the scenes of that day.
"I was wrong that day. I shouldn't have left you alone. I regret it so much. Every time I tried to explain to you, you always gave me excuses. It's even hard to see you in person."
If the Third Prince had not gotten married and I had not been able to meet her at the banquet, I don’t know when I would have been able to talk to her.
He regrets it very much.
I regret it so much that my intestines turn green.
Chu Li's eyes were dark.
What happened that day...
Although she knew that Qin Muyu did not mean it and she did not blame him, there was a knot in her heart that could not be untied.
She pursed her lips, raised her usual smile, and said:
"Sit down and talk."
"Ahri, I..."
"What happened in the past is in the past. I don't take it to heart."
"Don't I know what you look like when you lie?"
Qin Muyu looked at her with bitter eyes. He finally mustered up the courage to speak out the words that had been pent up in his heart for many days:
"That day, when I saw the Regent kiss you... my mind went blank and I almost went crazy, because... I... I like you."
"Many years ago, when I was a child, protecting you became a habit of mine."
That's why it gets out of control.
That's why I feel sad.
Chu Li looked at him in surprise, "Do you know what you are talking about?"
Qin Muyu's eyes were firm: "Ah Li, even if I don't get a response, I will always protect you and your secrets, just like I protect my family."
Chu Li's breathing tightened.
Did he know she was a woman?
Too.
Her secret will be revealed to the public sooner or later. What difference does it make if it's earlier or later?
She regained her composure and said:
"From childhood to adulthood, I have always regarded you as my best playmate. You protected me with your life, and I also protected you like a family member."
Qin Muyu was slightly stunned.
Just a playmate...
playmate.
Is there no other feeling in her heart?
Is there something wrong with him?
"Ahri, you should know my feelings. My love is different from that of friends. I... I really..."
This was the first time he opened up his heart. He was just a young boy who had just begun to fall in love. Not only did he stutter, but his ears also turned red as he spoke.
"I really like you..."
Chu Li tightened his grip on the armrest slightly.
She had never thought of any romantic relationship between a man and a woman, not only with Qin Muyu, but even with other men, she had never had such thoughts.
What's more, she has lost the qualifications to like someone.
She couldn't even protect herself.
"Thank you for your love, but I have always regarded you as my best friend. I think we should always maintain this relationship. If it is broken, we may not even be friends anymore."
Qin Muyu's eyes were startled.
How could she be so resolute?
They grew up together, accompanied each other, and understood each other. Is it really true that their relationship is limited to friendship?
Looking at her delicate face, he couldn't help but think of the scene he saw in the Regent's Palace. When the words came to his lips, he choked and said:
"Then...then the Regent..."
"I don't want to mention him." Chu Li interrupted coldly.
Qin Muyu immediately changed his words:
"Okay, I won't mention him anymore."
"Ahri, we can still be as good as before, okay? You can always trust me. No matter what happens to you or what help you need, I will do my best for you, even if it means risking my life."
The oaths made in youth are the most earnest and beautiful. Chu Li's breathing was disordered for a moment.
But, reason is better.
Only friendship can guarantee lasting friendship, and only in this way can we prevent him from being dragged into the vortex.
"Muyu... Thank you. We will always be good friends."
"Best friend."
Qin Muyu's face was filled with a smile, and the sun was bright and sunny.
Chu Li felt complicated and couldn't tell what he was feeling. Moreover, Chu Dichi was hiding in the inner room and didn't dare to say much, so he ordered him to leave on the grounds of recuperating from his injuries.
Qin Muyu didn't want to stay for long, so he only stayed for a short moment and then left.
As soon as he stepped out of the door, Chu Dichi lazily walked out from behind the screen:
"When General Qin wanted to talk about me just now, why didn't you let him continue?"
Chu Li looked at him and said, "What do you want to hear? Compliments, flattery, or flattery? Tell me and I'll tell you."
He laughed deeply.
Like a prickly kitten.
He walked over and said, "You are the one who said that a gentleman is upright, but General Qin intended to criticize me behind my back. It seems that he is not a gentleman."
Chu Li looked at him with disdain: "He is not, you are?"
"Hmm."
Well.
"I don't like being a gentleman." He lifted her chin, pecked her, and continued what he had not finished.
The tall body pressed against her.
Chu Li tightly grasped the bamboo scroll and tried to distance herself from him. "I want to read the bamboo scroll. The Double Ninth Festival will be held in half a month. I guess the emperor's uncle doesn't want me to mess it up, right?"
Chu Dichi pinched her small waist with his big hand, and was very satisfied with the size that could be grasped in one hand.
He snorted, "The Double Ninth Festival ceremony follows the same process every year. The Ministry of Rites has all the records. You don't need to worry about it."
"Later, I will teach you how to see it."
He was about to press down, but Chu Li immediately supported his chest:
"I, I'm having my period!"
He paused, "Didn't you just come last time?"
"The last time was a month ago. Now it's been exactly one month. It's my period again."
Chu Dichi stared at her, his eyes as sharp as a hawk:
"You are not deceiving me, are you?"
Chu Li glared at him. "How could I possibly joke about something like this? Besides, it involves life-threatening situations. Although I am a coward, I cherish my life very much."
Although Chu Dichi didn't know much about this matter, he did have some common sense.
When a woman is menstruating, she must not have sex.
When Bai Jinyi was practicing medicine, he once met a couple who were extremely passionate about having an affair. They ignored the taboo and had sex. After having sex, the woman suffered from severe internal bleeding and died of hemorrhage.
He gave Chu Li a deep kiss before letting her go. "Give me the bamboo roll."
"What?"
Seeing it but not being able to eat it, Chu Dichi was furious and said bluntly, "What else can I do? Can I eat it? Give it to me, and I will teach you how to perform the Chongyang Festival properly."
"……oh."
Why are you being so mean to her?
But did he just believe her? If it was in the past, he would have to force it... Why did he become so gentle now?
Could it be that...
Just like my father, as people age, they become more and more dull? More and more soft-hearted?
"What are you thinking about?"
The man's deep voice suddenly sounded, and his pair of dark eyes stared at her, making Chu Li feel guilty.
His young face doesn't look old at all.
With a straight face, he pretended to be calm and replied:
"I didn't think anything."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah." She replied perfunctorily.
So what?
Want to take a look inside her head?
Chu Dichi's eyes were gloomy. He felt that this kid was getting bolder and bolder. Now, he even dared to yell at him.
