Chapter 082 Chapter 82
Suddenly heard this.
Xie Qingya, who was extremely worried just now, immediately blushed.
It was almost instinctive that I reacted again.
Fortunately, it was covered by clothes.
Otherwise, it would be him who would be embarrassed.
"What are you thinking about?"
He felt guilty about being a thief, so he deliberately put on the serious look of a respectable man, pulled his knees back from the couch, stood up straight, and patted his clothes as if nothing had happened.
But it didn't last too long.
Looking at Xu Duanyi with a rosy face in front of him, Xie Qingya felt an unbearable irritation all over his body.
The previous taste was so good.
He never knew that kissing could feel so good.
Xie Qingya, who had just given birth to a newborn calf, was indeed a little nervous.
What's more, the person in front of him is the one he has loved for so many years.
Fortunately, his reason took control of him and Xie Qingya quickly turned his face away.
"I'll go heat up the food first." After saying this, he hurriedly went out with the lunch box, fearing that if he took a step late at night, he would lose control again.
But if you walk too fast, your mind will be too confused.
When Xie Qingya walked to the door, he suddenly staggered forward and almost fell.
The first thing he did was to grab the food box in his hand.
Only then did I breathe a sigh of relief.
This book is exclusively compiled for you by the LK team. Thinking of something, he suddenly looked behind him again.
Sure enough, he saw Xu Duanyi sitting on the couch, looking at him with eyes wide open and a look of surprise.
At that moment, Xie Qingya's handsome face flushed red. He felt that he had been extremely embarrassed today, like a young boy. It was extremely embarrassing!
Without waiting for Xu Duanyi to ask him if he was okay, he immediately looked away, his face flushed, and turned away.
He pretended to be nothing and left in a serious manner.
But from behind he could hear Xu Duanyi's uncontrollable laughter.
Hearing this voice, Xie Qingya's face turned even redder.
He couldn't help but curse himself inwardly again.
No future.
Xu Duanyi was a little embarrassed at first.
But looking at Xie Qingya's appearance, the shame in her heart gradually disappeared.
The handkerchief was still pressed against her lips.
She concealed the corners of her lips that were raised upwards, but the smile in her eyes could not be hidden at all, it was soft and bright.
Xie Qingya has already walked out.
Xu Duanyi looked out the window again.
A few banana leaves covered most of the window, but Xu Duanyi could still see Xie Qingya's figure through them.
I saw him leaving in the rain holding an umbrella and carrying a lunch box.
Xu Duanyi didn't look away until she could no longer see anything. She then put her hand on her cheek and waited for the fever to subside before she continued to sit there.
Instead, he planned to take advantage of the time when Xie Qingya went to heat up the food.
She also packed up the things she had brought.
The bedding on the bed was left by the previous family and had a moldy smell as if it had not been used for a long time.
Xu Duanyi replaced all the things on the bed and took out some of his personal belongings and put them away one by one.
As for the handkerchief and amulet, Xu Duanyi decided to return them to their original owners.
She planned to put it back to where she got it from.
She put them back into the cupboard and placed them on top of Xie Qingya's clothes.
Look at these two things.
Xu Duanyi's eyes couldn't help but reveal some tender affection.
This book is compiled exclusively for you by the LK team. If she hadn't seen these two things, even if she made the same decision today, she probably wouldn't be able to be as bold as Xie Qingya.
Xu Duanyi had a gentle expression.
The soft fingertips also gently stroked their bodies.
Then she closed the cabinet again and went on to pack other things.
A clean towel was hung on the washstand.
The clothes that had been taken off earlier were put into the basin first.
Fortunately, although this place has not been lived in for a long time, all the things are still there.
Xu Duanyi even found a set of unused study tools and some books that looked as if they had never been read.
Xu Duanyi casually flipped through a few books.
This family probably bought these books to show off their storefront, as there are quite a few kinds of books here. In addition to the commonly seen Four Books and Five Classics, there are also some miscellaneous literature books. However, without exception, except for one copy of the Analects of Confucius that looks like it has been flipped through, the rest of the books are all in mint condition.
Just like the quilt, it has a moldy smell.
Xu Duanyi was a book lover, and he couldn't help but feel sorry to see these good books end up like this.
She thought that when the weather was fine one day, she could take them out to dry in the sun.
You can take a look at it later when you have nothing to do.
After all this busy work, Xu Duanyi also felt a little tired.
This was the first time in her life that she was so busy.
I don't know what to do with the bedding I've taken off, so I'll just leave it like this for now.
Xu Duanyi also wanted to go to other rooms to see if there was anything useful.
We need to find more candles and lanterns.
Otherwise it would be inconvenient at night.
But she was a little hesitant to go alone, so she decided to wait for Xie Qingya to come back, and then they could go together.
I wanted to go back to the couch and sit there waiting for Xie Qingya to come back.
But because of the rain, the sky outside became darker, and since there were no candles lit in the house, it seemed even darker.
The yard was overgrown with weeds and looked desolate.
Looking at it at this time, it's actually a bit creepy.
Especially those big banana leaves outside the window, which were swaying in the rain, looking green and like man-eating monsters...
Xu Duanyi was busy before, but he didn't feel anything.
But she didn't know if she was thinking too much at this moment. She just stood there, and the more she thought about it, the more intrusive she felt...especially since she didn't know why this family didn't live here.
Many bad thoughts involuntarily emerged in Xu Duanyi's mind.
The more she thought about it, the more scared she became.
A chill quickly ran down my back, and my body was covered with goose bumps as if it had grown hair.
My heartbeat was like the beating of a drum.
Accompanied by the thumping heartbeat, Xu Duanyi didn't dare to look back, always feeling that there was something bad behind him.
No more hesitation.
She immediately turned around and ran out, intending to look for Xie Qingya.
Probably no one would have thought that Xu Duanyi, who usually looks so calm and composed, would actually be afraid of ghosts.
Xu Duanyi couldn't care about anything else at this moment.
She rushed out in a panic, but she didn't realize Xie Qingya had already returned.
When she went out, Xie Qingya just happened to walk to the corridor.
He was just packing up his umbrella and putting it aside when he suddenly heard footsteps coming from inside.
He thought Xu Duanyi saw him coming back and came out to pick him up.
Although it had been a while, Xie Qingya still felt a little embarrassed.
I still don't know how to face Xu Duanyi.
As I was hesitating, I saw Xu Duanyi lowering his head, and I rushed out in panic.
If Xie Qingya hadn't reacted in time, the two would have collided with each other.
Xie Qingya reached out first and held Xu Duanyi's arm.
"What's wrong?"
As he spoke, he looked towards the people.
Seeing her pale face and a somewhat panicked expression, Xie Qingya couldn't help but frown.
What happened to her during the time he was away?
Xie Qingya was naturally worried.
When Xu Duanyi heard his voice, he immediately raised his head.
When she saw Xie Qingya's face, her anxiety and nervousness finally receded like the tide.
As if relieved, Xu Duanyi said, "You're back."
Xie Qingya hummed.
He was still worried and asked her, "What happened to you?"
After saying this, a look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on Xu Duanyi's face.
Xie Qingya looked at Xu Duanyi, then looked inside.
The light inside was dim, and the banana leaves by the window were swaying, which was indeed quite ominous...Xie Qingya suddenly understood something.
He remembered that Xu Duanyi was a little afraid of ghosts when he was young.
Seeing Xu Duanyi hesitant at this time, she said to him vaguely, "It's okay."
He suddenly raised his eyebrows.
At this moment, the bad nature of Xie Qingya was exposed.
Maybe it's because the two of them are closer than before.
This should be put in the past.
Even if Xie Qingya had noticed it, he would not ask her on purpose. He would just pretend that he knew nothing and follow Xu Duanyi's wishes, letting the matter pass by vaguely.
But today——
He just wanted to tease her.
He wanted to see more of her charm beneath her dignified face.
Xie Qingya thought about it and did it.
He deliberately bent down, moved closer to the person, and asked knowingly: "Xu Duanyi, you are not... afraid of ghosts, are you?"
The last few words.
Xie Qingya even deliberately dragged out his tone.
Sure enough, I saw someone, his expression suddenly changed, but he still insisted that he didn't.
"real?"
How could Xie Qingya believe her?
Seeing her little face turn slightly pale again, her eyes became tense.
He said "Oh" and stood up straight, deliberately saying to others: "If there is no such thing, then we can stay separately tonight? There are so many houses here anyway."
He was being naughty and wanted to tease her on purpose.
But Xu Duanyi suddenly raised his head, looked at him and asked, "...You want to live separately from me?"
Xie Qingya heard something wrong in Xu Duanyi's tone, and his face suddenly froze.
The stubbornness in his nature also disappeared in an instant.
At that moment, how could he still have the mind to play around? Xie Qingya quickly looked towards the man.
She no longer had the awkwardness and tension on her face. She just looked at him without blinking, as if waiting for his answer.
Xie Qingya watched carefully.
One could even see a hint of suppressed loss in her eyes.
See this sense of loss.
Xie Qingya's heart sank and he regretted it deeply.
He cursed himself harshly in his heart again.
Why do you tease me on purpose? It would be fine if I teased you, but why do you have to tease me like this?
It's okay now.
He was complaining in his heart.
I just wish I could go back to just now, slap myself hard and shut up.
But now that the matter has come up, we have to resolve it first.
Otherwise Xu Duanyi would be really sad later.
"not."
His naughtiness had long been suppressed, and now he looked at the person seriously and spoke.
At this moment, he didn't care about the embarrassment or shame. He just wanted to not make her sad.
Xie Qingya looked at Xu Duanyi.
I explained the reason to others somewhat awkwardly: "...I just wanted to tease you."
After he finished speaking, he felt a little embarrassed.
He is 21 years old and still so childish, he himself is a little embarrassed.
Xie Qingya only felt that the heat on his face was boiling up again.
He couldn't help but turn his face away.
It was a bit embarrassing to look at Xu Duanyi.
He just happened to miss the faint smile that flashed across Xu Duanyi's eyes at that moment.
The smile flashed by.
Xu Duanyi did not say anything to him. He just silently took the food box from Xie Qingya's hand, then turned around and walked inside.
Her silence naturally made Xie Qingya even more uneasy.
Xie Qingya followed closely behind her, and asked her nervously, "Xu Duanyi, are you angry?"
Before Xu Duanyi could speak.
He then continued to talk to her: "I know I was wrong, please don't be angry."
His face was full of regret, and he really looked like he knew he was wrong.
If he knew this would happen, he would never dare to joke like this with others.
It's all his fault.
What nonsense you are talking about!
"If you really want to separate from me, then let's live separately. But we only have these beddings. I'm afraid I'll have to wait for someone to come and then ask them to get them from the city." Xu Duanyi said to the person without turning his head.
Xie Qingya couldn't tell from her tone whether she was still angry or not.
I felt extremely anxious.
He followed behind the person and said hurriedly, "I don't want to separate from you."
Seeing Xu Duanyi suddenly stop.
Xie Qingya also hurriedly stopped to avoid the two of them bumping into each other.
"real?"
Xu Duanyi turned around and asked him.
Xie Qingya hesitated for a moment when she looked at him, but finally nodded under her gaze, and said "hmm" vaguely and embarrassedly.
After he agreed, he turned his face away again.
He was afraid that Xu Duanyi would see through his nervous heart.
But thinking that he was apologizing to someone, which would inevitably be a bit inappropriate, Xie Qingya turned his face back to the person.
Looking at Xu Duanyi's eyes looking into his.
He said to the person again with a serious look: "Really."
Xu Duanyi looked at him seriously for a long time, then retracted his gaze and walked forward.
Seeing that she was silent again, Xie Qingya was a little unsure of what she meant. He didn't know whether she believed it or not. He could only continue to follow her and said to her, "I really don't want to live apart from you. Don't you know me? I just... saw that you were so scared just now, so I wanted to tease you on purpose."
"Xu Duanyi, I..."
"I understand." Xu Duanyi finally took over the conversation this time.
She put the lunch box on the table.
Then he turned around and looked at Xie Qingya and said, "I believe you."
In fact, she had already realized that Xie Qingya was teasing her on purpose just now.
In order to avoid being discovered by Xie Qingya, Xu Duanyi changed the subject before Xie Qingya could say anything else.
"Let's eat first."
Otherwise, if we delay any longer, the food that we just heated up with great difficulty will get cold again.
Xu Duanyi said this and sat down on the chair first.
Xie Qingya was naturally eager for this, and hoped that this matter would be over quickly.
Seeing Xu Duanyi sitting down, he quickly followed suit.
Right opposite Xu Duanyi.
He even politely opened the food box before Xu Duanyi.
"Let me do it."
As he spoke, he took out the food from the box to prevent her from getting burned.
The space in the lunch box is limited.
Of the huge table full of dishes prepared at noon, only a portion could be taken away.
Xie Qingya looked at the dishes that were obviously to his liking and couldn't help but ask Xu Duanyi: "Did you make all of these?"
Xu Duanyi nodded.
"After all this trouble, I'm afraid the taste won't be as good as it was at the beginning." Xu Duanyi couldn't help feeling a little regretful when he said this.
This was her first time cooking for Xie Qingya.
Xie Qingya didn't think it was bad.
He should have no appetite today, but at this moment, he felt like he had a big appetite.
I am indeed a little hungry.
After a busy day, it's almost evening.
Lunch became dinner.
I guess Xu Duanyi is hungry too.
"Let's eat first." He said to Xu Duanyi.
Xu Duanyi naturally agreed.
She first ate a handful of stir-fried greens.
After all, some time has passed and it has been reheated. The green leafy vegetables that originally tasted good now taste too watery. Although the taste is still okay, it is not as good as at the beginning.
She couldn't help but say: "Next time I return to the capital, I..."
The words came out.
Suddenly I realized their current situation.
Whether there is a future or not is still unknown.
How about next time?
Xu Duanyi remained calm, but changed the subject and continued to talk to Xie Qingya: "When Lingji comes, I will tell him not to send us food anymore. Instead, pick some fresh vegetables every day and send them over, and we will cook them ourselves."
"He rode over here, and it was inconvenient to take the food, and it was bumpy, so it's fine to stay here."
"What do you think?" she asked Xie Qingya.
Xie Qingya looked at her but didn't say anything for a long time.
After a long while, he looked at Xu Duanyi, put down his chopsticks, and said with difficulty: "Xu Duanyi, you can actually leave now... I can let Lingji take you out of the city secretly and leave here. Even if something happens, there will be someone to take care of you."
"Your aunt will definitely hire the best doctor to take care of you."
Just say he is selfish.
He just didn't want anything to happen to Xu Duanyi.
Xu Duanyi should live well.
Once again, he regretted agreeing to the situation and letting that person in.
It would have been better to knock the man unconscious and send him back to the capital in a carriage, so that he wouldn't have to get entangled here.
It’s a pity that he had completely lost the ability to think before, and could only think and do what Xu Duanyi said.
Xu Duanyi knew the knot in his heart.
She was not angry. She just looked at Xie Qingya once again without hesitation and said, "I won't leave."
As she spoke, she put down her bowl and chopsticks: "Unless you come with me."
This is of course impossible.
Xie Qingya looked at her in silence.
If he wanted to leave, no one could stop him.
But if he really left, not only the people in Yutian, but also the people in other prefectures would start to be afraid.
Moreover, he was an official appointed by the imperial court. How could the imperial court not blame him if he left like this? There were other people behind him.
If he really leaves here.
Whether it is Mei Xuezheng, Li Wengao, or anyone else, they will all be accused of not taking good care of the situation.
He can't be so selfish.
"Xu Duanyi..."
Xie Qingya looked helpless, but still wanted to persuade him.
Xu Duanyi spoke before him: "Xie Qingya, if it is really an epidemic, if we are really infected, there is no cure..."
Every word she said.
Xie Qingya's brows wrinkled slightly.
Before she could finish, Xie Qingya interrupted her: "I won't let anything happen to you."
Xu Duanyi could hear the unhappiness in his words.
But she couldn't help looking at him and smiled softly.
Seeing Xie Qingya's brows getting more and more furrowed, he seemed to not understand why she could still laugh so happily at such a time.
Xu Duanyi never explained.
She just suddenly reached out and held Xie Qingya's hand which was on the table.
She could see his pupils suddenly contract and his expression seemed a little shocked.
But he did not break away.
His eyes also fell on Xu Duanyi, waiting for her to speak.
"If this period of time is really all we have left in our lives, do you really want us to separate?" Xu Duanyi looked at him and asked.
Her voice was so soft, and even the look in her eyes when she looked into his were still gentle.
But these words were like a sharp knife that stabbed into Xie Qingya's chest fiercely, causing his breathing and heartbeat to stop for a moment...
It's not like he hasn't thought about it.
After all, we had already prepared a divorce agreement.
How could he not have thought about being separated from her?
But how could his previous assumptions compare to what Xu Duanyi was saying to him word by word at this moment?
He just felt as if his heart was pierced by a knife.
My heart feels like a knife.
Xie Qingya looked at Xu Duanyi speechless.
The hand she was holding couldn't help but hold hers back.
He is quite strong.
When Xu Duanyi saw that his eyes were still shaking, he knew that this was an unconscious action.
It hurt a little bit because of his grip, but Xu Duanyi didn't say anything. Instead, she indulged him to hold her hand tightly. She said to him softly, "Xie Qingya, don't chase me away again."
"You can't drive me away."
"Even if you knock me out and send me away, as long as I am still breathing, I will definitely come back to you."
Xie Qingya's scattered gaze had been retracted.
But the expression he showed when looking at Xu Duanyi was still extremely complicated.
He didn't know what to say. After a while, he looked at the man and said helplessly, "Why didn't I know before that you were such a threat?"
Xu Duanyi looked at him and smiled: "Because I didn't dare to do it before."
Xie Qingya looked at the smile on her face, as if he had guessed what she was going to say, but he still couldn't help but ask: "...Why do you dare to do that now?"
As he wished, Xu Duanyi said word by word: "Because I know that you love me." This book is exclusively compiled for you by the LK team. Seeing his eyes tremble again, Xu Duanyi did not wait for him to say anything.
She inserted her fingers into his little by little.
Fingers intertwined.
She gently grasped his fingers, shook them, and then said in a half-coquettish and half-nagging tone: "Xie Qingya, I'm really hungry."
"Do you really want to continue discussing this fruitless issue with me?"
The emotions in Xie Qingya's eyes were still extremely complicated, but he finally looked at Xu Duanyi and sighed.
There seems to be no solution.
There is really no other way.
He had never met someone who would not take any soft or hard tactics and yet still try to control him in every way.
Xie Qingya lowered his eyelids and said, "Let's eat."
After all, he couldn't bear to be separated from her.
How could I possibly bear to do that?
Even though he was angry about her decision, how could he not be happy at all in his heart?
He looked at Xu Duanyi and smiled before taking his hand back.
Xie Qingya's hand was still on the table and he did not take it back immediately.
He just looked at Xu Duanyi like this, unwilling to look away.
Until Xu Duanyi picked up a piece of pork ribs with preserved plums with chopsticks and put it in his bowl with a smile.
Xie Qingya looked at her for a while before lowering his eyes.
But I didn't eat immediately.
Instead, he picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it in Xu Duanyi's bowl.
When she looked over, he didn't say much, just said lightly: "Eat."
