Chapter 408 No one will respond even if you scream
"Yingxue?"
The wooden door pushed open gently.
It was different from what Xu Xi had imagined, the picture of the girl writing furiously.
After opening the door, it was a very quiet scene.
The table was large, with copper racks for candles on each side. The two burning flames brought faint light to the deserted room.
Influenced by Xu's door push.
A night breeze rushed into the house.
Then, the two candle flames flickered, sometimes high, sometimes low.
Dangling and burning.
Illuminating the sleeping face of the girl lying on the table.
Her eyelashes fluttered, her expression was peaceful, and she was sleeping soundly.
"Are you asleep..."
Xu Xi was stunned for a moment, then his expression softened. He slowed down his pace, and tried to avoid making too loud noise while approaching the table.
soon.
As the distance gets closer.
The girl's sleeping posture was completely presented in front of Xu Xi.
He lay prostrated on the dark brown table, his head resting on his arm, which in turn was pressing down on a calligraphy scroll, with the brush casually placed on the edge.
In the corner, there are many crumpled and discarded books.
Xu Xi opened it slightly and took a look.
It is densely packed with the girl's practice works.
"It's not bad looking," Xu Xi smiled. It was not a word against his will, but a sincere compliment.
It’s true that Wu Yingxue has been practicing martial arts since childhood.
But as a child, she also received a royal education.
The handwriting cannot be ugly.
Xu Xi thought this was good enough, but the girl herself felt that it was not good enough and said that she must learn more beautiful calligraphy to impress Xu Xi.
"hey-hey……"
"hey-hey……"
"I'm not that great, sir..."
"~~~"
With her eyes slightly closed and her nostrils twitching, the princess muttered vague words in her sleep.
Xu Xi laughed when he heard this.
I just think that the princess looks really cute in this state.
call--
The night wind blew, and the wooden door swayed slightly in the wind, making intermittent creaking sounds.
Xu Xi closed the door and covered Wu Yingxue with a thin blanket.
"That way, you won't catch a cold."
Xu Xili stood beside the desk, looking at Wu Yingxue who was sleeping sweetly, then looked at the many calligraphy works on the desk and pulled out the top one.
This is the one Wu Yingxue was writing before she fell asleep.
The ink has dried.
The corrections are obvious.
There are two lines of the same words written on it.
One line is Wu Yingxue's old handwriting, and the other line is Wu Yingxue's imitation of calligraphy masters.
"You really work hard..."
Xu Xi put down the copybook, took out the second one, and checked the girl's results tonight one by one.
There are obvious typos in some places.
Some places are too sloppy.
Through these calligraphy works, it is easy to imagine Wu Yingxue's hard-working and tired posture as she practiced calligraphy by lamplight.
Xu Xi thought about it and picked up the brush scattered on the table.
On those calligraphy posts, Wu Yingxue's characters were corrected and modified, and scores were given one by one.
【Grade A】
【Grade A】
【Grade A】
This is not an evaluation of calligraphy.
It's an evaluation of the girl herself.
Regardless of whether her calligraphy is beautiful or not, Wu Yingxue has already become a qualified person in the Xu system.
He trusted and affirmed Wu Yingxue's growth.
"Have a good night's sleep."
Finally.
Xu Xi put down the paper and pen.
After making sure that the thin blanket would not slip, he slowly left Wu Yingxue's room with the same silent steps.
The candles flickered and bloomed softly.
The girl was still sleeping soundly, mumbling in her sleep that Xu Xi could no longer hear:
"Sir... even if you scream your throat out... no one will come, hehe..."
"Come home with me, hehe..."
Before Xu left.
Close the doors and windows thoughtfully.
Avoid too strong evening winds that would wake up the princess from her sweet dream.
But some wind still managed to slip through and penetrate through the tiny gap at the threshold, gently lifting the black hair on the girl's forehead.
Revealing a happy and silly sleeping face.
He muttered to himself, waving his hands back and forth on the table, as if trying to grab something.
As time went by and my sleep deepened, I slowly came to rest in the sound of the evening breeze.
The next day.
The bright sun rises from the horizon.
Wu Yingxue, who was lying on the table, woke up in a sleepy state, rubbing her eyes and yawning.
"Falling asleep again?"
"No, no, if this continues, how long will it take for me to impress my master?"
"Wu Yingxue, you can't degenerate any further!"
Cheer yourself up.
The girl picked up the copybook on the table and prepared to fight again.
Just very quickly.
She discovered that her calligraphy had been tampered with.
"This handwriting is... sir?" Wu Yingxue was stunned. What appeared before her were one A-level evaluation after another.
The ink is half dry and the brush strokes are gentle.
It seems like silent tenderness.
Quietly telling the unfinished words.
"Sir, what you mean is that I have passed the test..." Wu Yingxue put her hand lightly on her shoulder and grabbed the thin blanket that Xu Xi had covered her with.
Very warm and delicate.
At this moment, the girl belatedly realized something.
She wanted to gain recognition from the Xu family through calligraphy and the gentleness of a lady from a noble family.
but.
That seemed like a futile move.
Because all along, the Xu family has been supporting, affirming and encouraging her to move forward, and has never denied it.
"I did something stupid..."
Wu Yingxue leaned back slightly, leaning against the wooden chair, looking up at the ceiling, feeling that she had wasted a lot of time and made Xu Xi worry about her.
The moon is there.
There was no movement.
It was the unwarranted waves on the water that disturbed the clear reflection of the full moon.
"I'm sorry to have caused you worry, sir."
Breakfast time.
Before Xu Xi could speak, Wu Yingxue apologized directly, with a guilty look on her face: "It's obviously my own business, but I delayed your rest."
"It's okay, Yingxue."
"Let's eat," Xu Xi said with a gentle expression. He gently rubbed the princess' hair, allowing her to eat breakfast with peace of mind.
As for whether Wu Yingxue should continue to practice calligraphy, Xu Xi did not make a decision for her.
"Yingxue, as long as it's something you like, I will support you."
Xu Xi's voice was gentle.
Let the girl decide for herself whether to proceed.
Eventually, Wu Yingxue gave up practicing calligraphy.
She has realized that she has no talent in calligraphy. Instead of wasting time, she should do something really important.
"What's really important?"
"Yes, sir."
The princess's answer was a double entendre.
The morning breeze blew across her cheeks, itchy and cool, and brushed past the corners of the girl's eyes with a delicate touch, making her subconsciously hold down her hair.
Look up at the sky.
The spring sun is exceptionally gentle, without any hint of harshness.
"Sir, can you please leave here with me?"
"I want to go to the place in the world that is closest to the stars."
Speaking of.
Wu Yingxue looked at Xu Xi with a bright smile.
Those eyes are the only stars in the daytime.
"Can."
The moon accepted the invitation.
