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.
只恨不得回到剛才，狠狠扇自己一巴掌，住嘴才好。
但事情既然已經惹出來了，自然只能先去解決。
免得回頭徐端宜真的傷心了。
“沒。”
他那點頑劣早已收斂，此時一本正經地看着人說道。
這會倒是也顧不得那點難為情和不好意思了，他只想着，別讓她傷心才好。
謝清崖看着徐端宜。
有些尴尬地跟人解釋了緣故：“……我就是想逗逗你。”
他自己說完，都覺得有些不好意思。
二十一歲的人了，還這麽幼稚，他自己都有些難為情。
謝清崖只覺得，自己臉上的熱意，再度沸騰了起來。
他不由撇開了臉。
有些難堪這會與徐端宜對視。
便也正好錯過了，徐端宜眼中，這一瞬間流露出來的清淺笑意。
那笑意一閃而過。
徐端宜并未與他表示什麽，只沉默地從謝清崖的手中接過食盒，然後便轉過身，先往裏頭走去。
她這一言不發，自是讓謝清崖更加不安起來。
謝清崖跟在她身後，亦步亦趨的，擔心又緊張地問她：“徐端宜，你生氣了嗎？”
未等徐端宜說話。
他便又繼續與她說道：“我知道錯了，你別生氣了。”
他滿臉懊惱，的确是一副知錯了的模樣。
若知曉會這樣，他絕對不敢跟人開這樣的玩笑。
都怪他這個破嘴。
說得都是什麽混賬話！
“你若真想跟我分開，那便分開住吧，只是被褥就這些，恐怕回頭還得等人過來，再托他們去城裏拿。”徐端宜頭也不回地跟人說道。
謝清崖聽她語氣，一時也分辨不出，她這是還在生氣，還是沒生氣。
心裏焦灼不已。
他跟在人身後，忙道：“我沒想跟你分開。”
見徐端宜忽然停下步子。
謝清崖也忙先停下步子，免得兩人撞在一起。
“真的？”
徐端宜回過頭問他。
謝清崖被她看得猶豫片刻，最後還是在她的注視下，點了點頭，含糊又赧顏地輕輕“嗯”了一聲。
他答應完，便又撇開了臉。
生怕被徐端宜看穿他此刻緊張的內心。
但想到，他這會是在跟人道歉，這樣難免有些不像樣子，謝清崖便又把臉，重新朝人那邊轉了過去。
看着徐端宜望着他的眼睛。
他神色認真地又同人說了一句：“真的。”
徐端宜認認真真地看了他好一會，而後再次收回視線，往前走去。
謝清崖見她又不說話了，一時也有些拿不準她的意思，也不知道，她是信了還是沒信，只能繼續跟在人身後，與她說道：“我真的沒想跟你分開住，你還不知道我？我就是……看你剛才那麽怕，才故意想逗你一下。”
“徐端宜，我……”
“我知道了。”徐端宜這回總算接過話了。
她把食盒放在桌上。
而後回過頭看着謝清崖說道：“我相信你。”
她其實早在剛剛，就看出謝清崖是在故意逗她的了。
以免被謝清崖發現，因此未等他再說什麽，徐端宜便先岔開了話題。
“先吃飯吧。”
不然再這麽耽擱下去，這好不容易才熱好的飯菜，怕是又要涼了。
徐端宜說着先坐到了椅子上。
謝清崖自是求之不得，這茬快些過去。
眼見徐端宜坐下，他也連忙跟着坐了過去。
就在徐端宜的對面。
還殷勤地先徐端宜一步打開食盒。
“我來吧。”
他說着，便從中拿出了飯菜，免得她燙到。
食盒空間有限。
午間做得那滿滿一大桌子菜，也只能分了一部分拿過來。
謝清崖看着這些一看就十分符合他口味的菜肴，不由問徐端宜：“這些……都是你做的？”
徐端宜點了點頭。
“就是這麽一折騰，怕是味道沒最開始那麽好了。”徐端宜說到這，難免還是有些可惜。
這還是她第一次給謝清崖做菜呢。
謝清崖倒是沒覺得不好。
今日本該沒什麽胃口，但此時此刻，他卻覺得自己胃口大開。
也的确有些餓了。
折騰了一天，現在都快傍晚了。
午膳變成了晚膳。
想來徐端宜也餓了。
“先吃吧。”他跟徐端宜說。
徐端宜自是說好。
她先吃了一筷子清炒的綠葉菜。
畢竟過了時間，又重新加熱過，原本滋味頗好的綠葉菜，這會吃起來，水分太多，雖然味道還可以，但到底比不上最開始的時候。
她不由說道：“等下次回到京城，我……”
話才出口。
忽然反應過來，他們倆如今的情況。
還有沒有未來，都是未知數。
何談下次？
徐端宜卻面不改色，只換了個話，繼續與謝清崖說道：“等令吉來的時候，我與他說下，之後別給我們送吃的了，每日挑些新鮮的菜送過來，我們自己做。”
“他騎馬過來，吃的，既不方便拿，又颠簸，左右在這也沒事。”
“你覺得如何？”她問謝清崖。
謝清崖看着她，卻遲遲不曾說話。
過了好一會，他才看着徐端宜，放下筷子，艱難開口道：“徐端宜，你現在其實還可以走……我可以讓令吉帶你秘密出城，離開這邊，即便有什麽，也有人能照顧你。”
“你姨母，肯定會給你請最好的太醫，照顧你。”
說他自私也罷。
他就是不想徐端宜出事。
徐端宜應該好好活着。
他又一次後悔，自己的同意，後悔把人放進來。
還不如剛才把人打暈，一輛馬車送回京城去，他也就不用，在這這麽糾結了。
只可惜先前，他完全失去了思考的能力，只知道順着徐端宜的話，去想，去做。
徐端宜知道他心中的糾結。
她沒生氣，她只是，再一次，沒有猶豫地看着謝清崖說道：“我不會走的。”
她邊說，邊放下手中的碗筷：“除非你跟我一起。”
這自然是不可能的。
謝清崖看着她沉默不語。
他若是想走，自是無人能攔得住他。
可他要是真的走了，別說玉田這邊的百姓，只怕就連其餘州府的百姓，都要開始害怕了。
何況他一個朝廷命官，就這樣離開，朝廷如何會不怪罪？他身後還有其他人。
他要是真離開了這邊。
無論是梅雪征還是李文高，又或是其餘人，都會被冠上一個看顧不嚴之罪。
他不能這麽自私。
“徐端宜……”
謝清崖滿臉無奈，還想勸說。
徐端宜卻先他一步開了口：“謝清崖，如果真的是疫病，如果我們真的被傳染了，無藥可救……”
她每說一個字。
謝清崖的眉頭就皺一分。
未等她說完，謝清崖就先打斷了她的話：“我不會讓你出事的。”
徐端宜聽出他話中的不高興。
她卻忍不住看着他，輕輕笑了起來。
眼見謝清崖眉心越擰越緊，似乎不明白，為什麽她在這樣的時候，還能笑得如此開懷。
徐端宜未曾解釋。
她只是忽然伸手，握住了謝清崖放在桌上的手。
她能看到他的瞳仁猛地緊縮了一下，神情看起來，也有些震動。
但他并未掙脫。
目光也跟着落在了徐端宜的身上，等着她說話。
“如果我們的人生，真的只剩下這段時間，你真的希望我們分開嗎？”徐端宜看着他問。
她的聲音是那樣的柔和，就連看着他的眼睛，也依舊溫柔。
可這句話，就像是一把鋒利的刀，狠狠紮進了謝清崖的胸口，令他一時間，呼吸和心跳，都停住了……
他不是沒想過。
畢竟先前都準備草拟和離書了。
他怎麽可能沒想過跟她分開的情形呢？
但先前的設想，哪裏比得上，徐端宜此刻一字一句與他說，來得深刻？
他只覺得自己的心髒，像是被一把刀狠狠穿透。
心如刀絞。
謝清崖看着徐端宜說不出話。
被她握着的手，倒是忍不住反握住了她的。
他的力氣有些大。
徐端宜見他眸光還在震動，就知道他這是無意識的動作。
被他握得有些疼，但徐端宜并沒有出聲，而是就這麽縱容地任由他緊抓着她的手，嘴上，則依舊軟聲與他說道：“謝清崖，別再趕我走了。”
“你趕不走我的。”
“即便你把我打暈了送走，只要我還有一口氣在，我就一定會回到你的身邊。”
謝清崖渙散的眸光，已然重新收回。
但他看着徐端宜的神情，卻依舊複雜無比。
他不知道說什麽，好一會，才看着人幹巴巴又無可奈何地吐出一句：“我從前怎麽不知道，你這麽會威脅人。”
徐端宜看着他笑：“因為從前不敢。”
謝清崖看着她臉上的笑意，像是猜到她要說什麽了，卻還是忍不住問出口：“……現在又為何敢了？”
徐端宜如他所願，一字一句說道：“因為我知道了，你愛我。” 本書由LK團隊為您獨家整理 看着他眸光再一次震動，徐端宜未再等他說什麽。
她把自己的手指，一點點縫合進他的手指。
十指交扣。
她輕輕抓着他的手指，晃了晃，然後半是撒嬌半是叨擾地與人說道：“謝清崖，我真的餓了。”
"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."
