Chapter 064 Chapter 64
Looking at Xie Qingya's back.
Xu Duanyi didn't know what his plan was for a moment.
But since Xie Qingya asked her to wait for him, Xu Duanyi didn't say anything else and just stood there obediently waiting for people.
I glanced ahead.
Xu Duanyi suddenly turned around and said to Shi Yu beside him, "Go to the base and bring some meat cakes to share with the big brothers here."
Shi Yu naturally said nothing, she nodded and agreed immediately. This book is exclusively compiled by the LK team for you. Thinking that the prince would be here, the master would not have any problems, so she did not delay. Unfortunately, she had some difficulty remembering the way, so she called out to Qiao Bingyuan: "You, come with me."
After saying this, without waiting for Chief Clerk Qiao's reaction, he simply grabbed the man's arm and strode towards the stronghold in front.
Plan to go and come back quickly.
For a moment, only Xu Duanyi was left standing here alone.
Seeing that there were people over there, looking at her from time to time, after hesitating for a while, Xu Duanyi finally walked forward, thinking of saying hello to them.
Xu Duanyi didn't know that they were also talking about her at this time.
One of the elder brothers was talking to Xie Qingya with envy on his face: "Sir, this is the Fairy Lady you mentioned."
"She is truly a celestial goddess. When I first saw her, I thought I saw a deity."
Xie Qingya was getting ready to leave.
Hearing this, I felt a little embarrassed and ashamed, and also a little worried.
If he had known that Xu Duanyi would come today, he would never have said this. He was just thinking of giving them a few words of warning, asking them not to talk nonsense in case Xu Duanyi found out later.
...Then he would be really ashamed.
Then, Xie Qingya heard footsteps approaching them from behind.
The sound of these footsteps was not heavy, and could even be considered light.
But that is why——
Xie Qingya immediately recognized that it was Xu Duanyi who came.
Xie Qingya's expression changed slightly.
The words that were about to come out of his mouth were stuck in his throat and could not be uttered.
On the other hand, the elder brother who spoke earlier was not shy at all and greeted Xu Duanyi first: "Hello, Madam Xie!"
Xu Duanyi also greeted people with a smile.
She walked over to Xie Qingya and whispered to him, as if explaining, "I came over to say hello."
What can Xie Qingya say?
Xie Qingya couldn't say anything.
He couldn't stop her from coming.
That's even weirder.
He was thinking that as soon as he finished saying hello, he would take Xu Duanyi away from this place immediately, but he must not make any mistakes.
The eldest brother smiled and said to Xu Duanyi, "Madam, you came at the right time. The master was just talking to us about you."
These words made Xie Qingya's back stiffen immediately.
Just as he was about to speak, Xu Duanyi had already looked towards him.
Xie Qingya didn't look at her.
But in the corner of my eye, I could see the surprise in her eyes.
"Speaking of me?"
Xu Duanyi was indeed surprised.
I wonder what Xie Qingya would tell them about himself? I never thought that he would take the initiative to mention her outside.
Xu Duanyi was also feeling a little curious and expectant.
She looked back at the elder brother and asked, "What did you say about me?"
But the eldest brother didn't know about the relationship between them as husband and wife, nor did he know that Xie Qingya was so embarrassed and angry that he wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
"Nothing."
Xie Qingya was interrupted and was about to take Xu Duanyi away.
But how could the elder brother know his shame and embarrassment? Before they left, he was already smiling and talking to Xu Duanyi very cheerfully: "Master Xie told us that his wife is like a fairy. We didn't believe it at first, but after seeing her, we believed that there really are fairies in this world. You two are really a perfect match, and you look like a golden boy and a jade girl."
That's all.
He also added, "When you were not here, the master missed you."
Xie Qingya had already become numb.
Hearing this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes. He was shocked and confused, and asked, "When did I say I missed her?!"
But his embarrassed and angry look at this moment only made people want to laugh even more.
I just thought he was embarrassed.
The group of people didn't know their specific identities and they all got along well with Xie Qingya, so they all laughed and started to make a fuss.
No matter how people make fun of him, Xie Qingya always looks as if nothing has happened and can even make jokes back.
But today, in front of Xu Duanyi, he really wanted to find a hole in the ground and crawl into it immediately.
I was afraid that these men would come back and say something fatal.
Without thinking, Xie Qingya grabbed Xu Duanyi's arm and left quickly with his men.
Gone far.
I could also hear the laughter of the gentlemen behind me: "Hey, excuse me, sir!"
Even the people on the street, seeing them coming, smiled and said, "Thank you, sir. Is this your wife? She is so pretty."
"Master Xie is so young, yet he married such a beautiful woman. He is so lucky."
A group of people were talking to each other, and Xie Qingya was getting more and more embarrassed.
He didn't notice that he was still holding Xu Duanyi's arm. He just wanted to take them away from this place of trouble as soon as possible.
If they said a few more words, he would be too embarrassed to continue seeing Xu Duanyi.
Finally got away from that troubled place.
Although there were other people ahead, they had not had time to find out Xu Duanyi's identity. When they saw Lord Xie from the capital suddenly coming over with a beautiful woman, they were just surprised and could not say anything for a while.
Go further.
Seeing that there were fewer people, Xie Qingya finally breathed a sigh of relief.
His steps finally slowed down, and he no longer looked like he was running for his life as before.
He continued to look ahead, saying as he walked: "Don't listen to what they say, I..."
I wanted to tell Xu Duanyi "I didn't miss you", but I thought that was a weird thing to say, so I could only mumble it and say, "They are not very careful with their words, so you should stay away from them."
Xu Duanyi followed him all the way here.
She was used to walking slowly on weekdays, so how could she be like today? She almost ran all the way here.
After hearing what Xie Qingya said, she naturally agreed.
But the voice was slightly panting and the breathing was rapid, so Xie Qingya could naturally sense it.
He turned around and looked at Xu Duanyi.
At this time, the sky was gradually getting dark. Yutian didn't know if it was because it was close to the mountains, but the sky here got darker much earlier than in the capital.
The lanterns nearby had not yet been lit.
After all, supplies are in short supply nowadays, and even candles have to be used sparingly.
Normally, apart from the candles that were distributed to each household and the indispensable candles at the pharmacy, the only people who could carry lanterns were patrol officers and people from the county government.
Xie Qingya left in a hurry and forgot to bring the lantern.
At this moment, he could only glimpse the slight blush on her face through the little light from the sky.
Xie Qingya frowned, thinking of something, and asked, "Did I walk too fast just now?"
It was a subconscious question, but Xu Duanyi knew it without him saying anything.
With the speed he was moving just now, how could she catch up with him?
He didn't ask, "Why didn't you say something?" He knew her personality. At that moment, in order to avoid embarrassing him, she would naturally not say anything.
Thinking of this, Xie Qingya couldn't help but felt annoyed at his own recklessness.
It's just a few jokes. You're already 21, but you still can't keep your cool. It's really...
"Are you okay?"
He asked quietly.
Xu Duanyi also sensed Xie Qingya's self-blame. Hearing the regret in his tone, Xu Duanyi smiled and shook his head: "No."
I just walked too fast for a moment and my breathing became rapid.
It's not a big problem, it will be fine after a while.
She is almost well now.
Xie Qingya looked at her usual smile, hesitated for a moment, and finally said to her: "If I do this again in the future, tell me."
He didn't want Xu Duanyi to be too accommodating to him.
But when Xu Duanyi heard the word "later", he unconsciously looked towards Xie Qingya.
And later?
When their eyes met, Xie Qingya obviously realized what he had said.
He didn't know what to say for a moment and was about to turn away, but he realized that he seemed to be holding something in his hand... It was also at this time that he noticed that he was still holding Xu Duanyi's arm and had not let go.
Although they are not holding hands directly, there is a layer of fabric between them.
But this was the first time they had such close contact while Xu Duanyi was awake.
Xie Qingya's ears felt burned and his heartbeat became extremely violent. He quickly let go of her hand, and uttered dryly, "...I'm sorry."
After he finished speaking, he turned his face away and hid his hands behind his back.
Compared to Xie Qingya's inner shock at the moment, Xu Duanyi did not react much. He just felt a brief sense of loss in his heart the moment Xie Qingya let go of him.
But that was just a thought that came to her mind for a moment.
She said it was okay.
Compared to this, what she actually cares more about is the problem of sleeping at night.
There were many people before.
There are outsiders here again.
She didn't say much, nor did she ask too many questions.
But at this moment, there were only the two of them, so Xu Duanyi decided to ask him first.
"Xie Qingya."
She called out to him first, then asked him hesitantly, "Is it convenient for me to go over there?"
Xie Qingya didn't understand for a moment, and he looked at Xu Duanyi again.
"What?"
he asked.
Xu Duanyi looked at him and said, "Go to the county government office..."
She didn't know how many rooms there were in the county government office, but since they were a couple, they had to live together...but they were not a real couple.
Except for their wedding night, they never slept in the same room again.
Even on their wedding night, they slept separately.
Xu Duanyi didn't know whether following him like this would have any impact on him.
Will it cause him any inconvenience?
Therefore, before Xie Qingya could speak, Xu Duanyi said, "If it is not convenient for you, I will go back to the Tzu Chi Hall. There should be extra rooms there."
When Xie Qingya heard this, he frowned secretly.
He also visited the Tzu Chi Tang base.
It is called a base, but in fact it is just a temporary place with many things and people.
How easy is it to pick out a separate, clean and spacious room for her?
Besides, there are only men there.
How could it be convenient for her to go there?
"You want to go?"
He asked Xu Duanyi first.
Xu Duanyi hesitated for a moment.
She was obviously aware of the environment at the base, so it wasn't a big problem for her to carve out a separate space.
But although it is convenient for washing, it is inevitably inconvenient.
After all, there were only men there.
But compared to these, Xu Duanyi hesitated for a moment, and still looked at Xie Qingya and said first: "I'm afraid of bothering you."
Xie Qingya was inexplicably angry when he heard this.
But I wasn't angry with her, it was more like I was angry with myself.
I can’t explain what kind of mood I am in.
He just didn't want Xu Duanyi to always accommodate him and always put herself in a difficult position.
But I don’t know how to tell others.
Xie Qingya could only say, "It's no trouble."
He turned his face away as he spoke: "Let's go back to the county government office first, and go and have a rest."
This book is compiled exclusively for you by the LK team.
He didn't leave immediately, but waited for Xu Duanyi to come over first.
Seeing this, Xu Duanyi naturally did not delay any longer, and a little joy seemed to rise in his heart, just like a cluster of small sparks suddenly lit up in the dark night.
This made Xu Duanyi's steps become much lighter.
The couple continued walking towards the county government office.
There were few lights on the road, and Xie Qingya followed Xu Duanyi's pace, not walking very fast.
He asked Xu Duanyi to walk inside to avoid being bumped by someone on the road.
It was pitch dark.
If someone really pops out from somewhere, the chances of being hit are very high.
Neither of them spoke.
But Xie Qingya could feel the gaze coming from his right.
At first, Xie Qingya ignored it, thinking that Xu Duanyi was just taking a casual look, but as time went on, that glance was still there, and Xie Qingya couldn't help but start to have all sorts of random thoughts in his mind.
Why do you keep looking at him?
Xie Qingya was not so confident. He felt that Xu Duanyi was impressed by his handsomeness.
In his current situation, it is more likely that—
Xie Qingya couldn't help but think.
Has he become haggard or ugly recently?
I haven't looked in the mirror recently.
In such an environment, there is really no need for it and no one will watch it.
Therefore, Xie Qingya didn't know what he had become now.
As someone who has never cared much about her appearance, she now feels inexplicably awkward.
Black is for sure.
I just don't know if it's still ugly.
I even felt lucky that I had at least cleaned up the stubble on my chin today. Otherwise, I would have looked even more unfamiliar and decadent.
But if he had known that Xu Duanyi would come, he would definitely have cleaned up properly.
So that she wouldn't see me like this.
I have a lot of little thoughts in my mind.
Xie Qingya was unwilling to show it, and deliberately pretended to be indifferent. He glanced at Xu Duanyi and said in an ominous tone: "Why are you looking at me? Is there something on my face?"
It was just a casual question.
Intended to make people turn their heads back.
Unexpectedly, Xu Duanyi actually nodded to him and handed him a handkerchief.
Someone was totally unaware of his little thoughts, and now he looked at him seriously and said to him, "There is a spot of mud on your face."
She had wanted to tell someone for a long time.
Just now I was hesitating about how to start the conversation so as not to be too rude.
I didn't expect Xie Qingya to ask this question on his own initiative.
That's perfect.
Xie Qingya just held the clean and fragrant handkerchief in his hand, almost in a daze. He stopped again and looked at Xu Duanyi beside him.
"What's wrong?"
Xu Duanyi didn't know what was wrong with him, so he stopped and asked him.
After thinking for a while, she took the initiative to ask him, "Do you want my help?"
Her eyes were clear and bright, without any unnecessary thoughts.
This book is exclusively compiled for you by LK team. Xie Qingya was embarrassed by her looking at him, so he turned his face away and said vaguely "No need". He lowered the curtain, took Xu Duanyi's handkerchief, and wiped it on his face.
But how could he know where those mud spots were?
I wiped it for a long time, but it was not done correctly.
Instead, he rubbed his face red.
He was used to being rough and didn't think it was a big deal.
But seeing that his actions were so rough that his face turned red, Xu Duanyi hesitated for a moment, but still stretched out his hand towards him.
His fingertips lightly touched Xie Qingya's chin.
"This."
The sudden contact made Xie Qingya freeze again.
He turned his head again and looked to the side.
But Xu Duanyi didn't meet his eyes.
She was a head shorter than him, and couldn't see it unless she looked up.
Seeing that Xie Qingya didn't move, she hesitated again, then took her handkerchief from Xie Qingya's hand. Then she tilted her head slightly, her eyes resting on Xie Qingya's chin, and wiped the mud off his face with a focused look.
Those mud spots have dried up after such a long time.
Very difficult to wipe off.
However, Xu Duanyi continued to wipe him gently, as if she was afraid of hurting him.
Can't bear to use too much force.
The two of them are very close now.
It was so close that Xie Qingya didn't even dare to breathe too freely, for fear that he would breathe too heavily and scare her.
There was only the sound of my heartbeat in my chest, which was really uncontrollable.
The more he wanted it to stop making noise and be quiet, the more it would go against him like a disobedient son.
Xie Qingya was anxious and angry.
But he was afraid of being discovered by Xu Duanyi, and there was nothing he could do.
He was also stupid, and had completely forgotten that he could have retreated. He just stood stiffly in front of Xu Duanyi and let his face be wiped obediently.
Until he saw Xu Duanyi suddenly raised his head and looked at him.
Xie Qingya suddenly looked like a thief with a guilty conscience. Before Xu Duanyi could speak, he said in a hoarse voice, "What are you looking at?"
The moment of speaking.
Xie Qingya's heartbeat became noticeably faster.
When he saw Xu Duanyi looking at him, he thought his heartbeat was heard by someone and was racking his brains to think of how to explain it.
But Xu Duanyi just looked at him carefully for a while.
When she saw his frown, she suddenly asked softly, "Did I hurt you?"
Xie Qingya was startled when he heard this.
He could see the worry in Xu Duanyi's eyes.
Xie Qingya felt that Xu Duanyi really had the thoughts of a little girl.
He is a grown man, how could it be painful for him with the strength she put on him?
It's up to someone else to ask him.
You will definitely be ridiculed by him or simply rolled your eyes.
But look at Xu Duanyi.
Xie Qingya didn't know why, but he felt that his heart suddenly became exceptionally soft, as if his whole body was soaking in a hot spring of just the right temperature, and every limb of his body was stretched out comfortably.
This made him feel a little dizzy.
The comfort from the inside out and the supreme joy in his soul made him feel exceptionally soft at this moment.
"Xu Duanyi——"
He didn't know what was wrong, but he suddenly wanted to call her.
It seems that's all.
The rich emotions in his heart could be fully released.
"Um?"
Xu Duanyi looked at him, waiting for him to continue.
The hand holding the handkerchief still stayed by his cheek and did not let go.
But Xie Qingya himself didn't know what he wanted to say.
But I didn't get to wait for him to speak.
——At this moment, when they looked at each other but had not yet spoken, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in the alley.
"I told you that the Lord and the Madam were here, but you didn't believe me."
It was Qiao Bingyuan's voice.
Xie Qingya followed the direction of the voice and saw Qiao Bingyuan and Shi Yu walking towards them.
Suddenly someone came over, which made Xie Qingya look a little unhappy.
But this was just the right thing to do, so he continued talking.
It just so happened that he didn't know what to say.
Just as he was about to stand up again, he heard Qiao Bingyuan screaming.
"ah!"
Late in the evening.
When Xie Qingya saw Xu Duanyi in front of him, he seemed to be frightened and couldn't help but frowned slightly.
This kid is usually quite calm, but today he was frightened and really noisy.
I don't know what's wrong with him.
Xie Qingya was about to ask him what he was doing when he suddenly stopped and pulled Shi Yu around, shouting, "Sir, please continue. We, we didn't see anything!"
What?
Xie Qingya didn't react at first. He frowned and looked in the direction of Qiao Bingyuan until he met Xu Duanyi's eyes in front of him.
The two seemed to realize it only later and realized what Qiao Bingyuan was thinking about.
Almost instantly.
Xu Duanyi and Xie Qingya both turned their heads away, trying to cover up their guilt, and took a step back.
My face started to burn as well.
For a moment, there were pairs of two in this dark alley.
The two men were still in front, with their backs turned as if they were afraid of disturbing them.
The two people here were also looking at each other, not knowing what to say due to embarrassment.
Finally, Xie Qingya coughed lightly and said to Xu Duanyi, "That guy is not smart, ignore him."
Xu Duanyi hummed softly, and his throat sounded a little soft because he hadn't spoken for a long time, or perhaps because he was nervous.
Xie Qingya's ears felt even more burning after hearing this.
I didn't dare to look at people anymore.
Seeing that the two men still had their backs to them, he felt embarrassed and annoyed, so he vented all his anger. Xie Qingya shouted in the direction of Qiao Bingyuan with full force: "Get over here!"
Qiao Bingyuan first quietly turned his head and glanced in their direction.
Seeing that the master and the lady had separated, he breathed a sigh of relief and said to Shi Yu beside him, "Miss Shi Yu, let's go over there."
talking room.
He also realized that he was actually holding Shi Yu's arm.
He was a man who was easily shy when he saw a girl. His face turned red. He quickly let go of her hand and lowered his head while mumbling, "...I lost my manners."
Shi Yu didn't know what he was talking about.
Just now, someone grabbed her arm for no apparent reason, and only later did she realize that her master and the prince were doing something shameful. However, she was not sensitive about this by nature, and she did not think there was anything wrong with her master and the prince doing these things.
They were originally husband and wife.
Although she was not satisfied with their prince.
But this is her problem. What the master wants to do is the master's business.
She would never interfere.
At this time, she heard the conversation on the other end without thinking much about it, nor did she pay attention to Qiao Bingyuan who was still shy beside her. She immediately took two reheated meat cakes and walked towards Xu Duanyi.
"Master, eat some cake!"
After that, Shigure looked innocent, not feeling embarrassed at all about his first two masters.
Smiling, she handed the meat pie over and said, "Uncle Guo has asked someone to heat it up."
The heated meat pie has a fragrant aroma.
Xu Duanyi glanced at Shi Yu first.
Shi Yu immediately smiled and said, "I have eaten!"
After saying this, she looked at her master in front of her, then looked behind her. She knew what her master meant. She listened to the panting and begging voice behind her, curled her lips, and said, "He has eaten too."
Just then Qiao Bingyuan came over.
He didn't have as much physical strength as Shi Yu, so he was inevitably a little out of breath as he jogged all the way here.
Hearing this, he hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, I have already eaten." After that, he bowed respectfully to the two of them.
Xu Duanyi asked the man to stand up and told him not to be polite.
Then she said to Shi Yu, "Shi Yu, go to the front and hold the light."
Shi Yu took the lead and immediately agreed. Then he took the lantern from Qiao Bingyuan's hand without saying a word and walked forward.
"Hey, my lantern..."
Qiao Bingyuan said something, but seeing that Shi Yu had already walked forward, he hesitated for a moment. Not wanting to disturb the conversation between the Lord and the Madam, he bowed to the two of them and followed them forward.
Now someone in front of us lit a lamp, so we didn't have to walk in the dark.
"My Lord, let's go too."
Xu Duanyi spoke to Xie Qingya, who had not spoken for a long time.
Xie Qingya hummed.
The two continued walking forward side by side.
Suddenly, Xie Qingya felt someone poking his arm lightly.
Then he smelled the aroma of meat.
Looking down, Xu Duanyi handed him the meat pie in his hand.
Xie Qingya was stunned.
After understanding Xu Duanyi's intention, Xie Qingya said, "No, you eat by yourself. I'm not hungry."
Just two meat pies.
There is no one cooking in the county government office now, and everyone usually eats out in a big pot. This is Xu Duanyi's dinner today.
Of course he wouldn't take her dinner.
This time, Xu Duanyi did not take it back, but continued with the original action and said to him: "Your Highness, you didn't eat dinner."
Xie Qingya looked at her in surprise, wondering how she knew that.
Then she looked at him and said, "I saw those two chive pancakes."
Xie Qingya, who is fearless, is most afraid of eating leeks.
She always remembers it.
Seeing the stunned look in Xie Qingya's eyes, Xu Duanyi still held up the two meat cakes and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, take them first and eat them. I'll have someone bring some more back later."
He works so hard.
If you don't eat enough, even the strongest body won't be able to bear it.
This time, he has obviously lost a lot of weight...
Xu Duanyi felt a little distressed.
Xie Qingya really didn't expect that she still remembered it.
After a brief pause, Xie Qingya looked at her hand which was always raised high.
His throat suddenly became dry.
In the end, I took it from someone, but I only took one.
When Xu Duanyi looked over, he said without waiting for anyone to speak: "One for each of you. I have to meet Li Wengao and the others later."
After hearing what he said, Xu Duanyi stopped talking.
She said softly yes.
But seeing that he was holding the meat pie directly, she still handed the handkerchief in her hand to him and said, "Your Highness, wrap it and eat it."
Xie Qingya glanced at her again.
There was nothing to argue about for a handkerchief. Xie Qingya nodded lightly and reached out to take it.
Seeing Xu Duanyi's brows relaxed, he finally agreed to eat properly.
However, Xie Qingya was reluctant to look away.
In the dark night, he lowered his eyes, looking at the woman beside him with concentration and tenderness, and felt his heart as hot as the meat pie in his hand.
