Chapter 090 Chapter 90
Xiao Yuanxing is gone.
When Xu Duanyi saw him leave, he immediately walked towards Xie Qingya.
Not knowing what his cousin had just said to Xie Qingya, Xu Duanyi couldn't help but worry and wanted to ask him, "What did your cousin say to you?"
Xie Qingya just looked at her without saying anything.
Seeing him like this, Xu Duanyi frowned and wanted to say a few more words when Xie Qingya suddenly hugged her.
The sudden action made Xu Duanyi stunned for a moment.
She had not expected this.
But after a moment, Xu Duanyi came back to his senses. Feeling the warmth of the person in front of him, Xu Duanyi's previously restless heart seemed to gradually return to normal.
The original worry was like raindrops into a stream, and no longer caused any unnecessary ripples.
She just let Xie Qingya hold her.
He looks quite tall and when he stands in front of her, he can usually block her completely.
Now he hugged her waist with both arms and buried his head in her neck, looking like a child.
A very unexpected and surprising contrast.
But no matter what Xie Qingya was like, Xu Duanyi liked him.
Her hands were now also placed on Xie Qingya's back.
She didn't hear Xie Qingya's voice, nor did she ask any more questions. She just hugged him and gently stroked his back.
Comforting him silently.
The ringgit outside the gate has also gone.
The moment he saw Xiao Yuanxing appeared, he knew what had happened inside, and finally understood why his master looked so irritable just now.
Seeing that Prince Xiao is returning alone this time.
Lingji knew that the princess must have rejected him, but he also knew that his prince must be in a complicated mood at this moment, so he naturally did not dare to stay here any longer.
So as not to disturb their conversation.
He silently put all the things he had brought at the door and left.
The sky is clear and the air is crisp.
The bird that had fled in fright no longer felt any danger, so it flapped its wings and came back.
Xu Duanyi and Xie Qingya remained in the courtyard.
This book is exclusively compiled for you by the LK team. Xie Qingya refused to get up, so Xu Duanyi let him do what he wanted.
But she finally said, "I thought you would chase me away."
Xu Duanyi didn't care that Xie Qingya's voice hadn't been heard. He was about to tell someone to go in and eat first, but before he could finish his words, he heard someone's low voice in his ear: "I thought about it, but I can't bear to leave."
The man who had buried his head in her shoulder stood up slowly.
Xu Duanyi felt Xie Qingya looking down at her. His deep eyes were filled with complicated emotions when he looked at her at this moment.
There is happiness and joy.
Yet, I also feel regret, self-blame, hesitation, and doubt.
"I just saw that you didn't leave with him. I saw you standing in front of him to protect me, Xu Duanyi..." His voice was hoarse, and he looked at her with a complicated and confused expression.
"...I'm actually very happy."
He finished speaking these words with great difficulty, his face showing an expression of great pain.
"I shouldn't be happy."
"It's best for you to leave here."
"But I'm still happy."
"Am I too bad? You knew this, but you..."
Before Xie Qingya could say the next words, someone pressed his lips lightly with fingers.
His slightly opened lips did not utter another word.
Xie Qingya could only look down at her.
"Xie Qingya."
Xu Duanyi looked at him and called out softly.
Then she looked him in the eyes and said word by word: "Time flies, and we don't know what the future will be like. Instead of regretting and worrying about the unknown future, it is better to focus on the present and cherish the present."
This is the only thing they can do now.
She didn't let Xie Qingya make any promise to her, and she couldn't make any promise to Xie Qingya.
For her, this period of time was a reward from God.
If they really were infected with the plague, with no cure, and died here, she would die without regrets.
If they could get out.
No matter what happens between her and Xie Qingya in the future, no matter what choices he makes, this period of time is enough for her to cherish for the rest of her life.
She used to be used to thinking three steps ahead and never doing anything beyond her expectations.
Now I just want to live in the present.
No matter what the result is, she can accept it.
Taking the initiative to hold Xie Qingya's hand, Xu Duanyi slightly raised her head and looked at Xie Qingya, who was still looking at her with a complicated expression. Xu Duanyi said to him in a gentle tone: "Okay, let's go eat."
Xie Qingya was just held by her obediently without any struggle.
His eyes were always on her.
It seemed that he could no longer do anything except looking at her.
Xie Qingya seemed to have become Xu Duanyi's accessory, her puppet, following her wherever she went.
There is only room for her in his eyes, and he only listens to her.
Instead, Xu Duanyi suddenly thought of something, stopped, and said to Xie Qingya, "I almost forgot that we haven't brought in the things that Lingji brought."
As she said this, she was about to let go of my hand and go to the door to get it.
Xie Qingya, who had finally regained some consciousness, held his arm.
"I'll go."
Xie Qingya looked at her and said.
His voice was still a little hoarse, but his eyes were clear, and it seemed that he had finally recovered.
"Go and serve the porridge first."
He told Xu Duanyi.
Xu Duanyi didn't object and said yes to him with a smile.
Seeing Xie Qingya turn around and leave, Xu Duanyi stood there and looked at him for a while before turning around and going back to the house.
When Xie Qingya came back carrying a lot of bags.
Xu Duanyi had already served the porridge and placed the bowls and chopsticks in place.
The weather is getting hotter.
Even though so much time had passed, the porridge was still warm and there was no need to reheat it.
I heard footsteps coming from the front.
Xu Duanyi looked up and saw the bags in his hands. She smiled and asked, "What's in them?"
"Some meat, some eggs and vegetables, a bag of flour and rice, a bag of seasonings, and a bucket of fish, which I just put outside." Xie Qingya's voice still sounded a little hoarse, but his expression was finally different from before.
Neither of them elaborated on what happened this morning and continued talking, both planning to live the present day well.
No one knows what will happen in the future.
The only thing they can do now is to live each day to the fullest.
Xie Qingya put his things down and said to Xu Duanyi, "I'll cook you a few dishes for lunch."
Xu Duanyi had just handed him a wet handkerchief. She was surprised to hear this.
"Can you cook?" she asked Xie Qingya.
The porridge in the morning was not difficult, so she didn't find it strange.
But cooking is not the same as making porridge. When she heard Xie Qingya say this, she was naturally surprised.
Xie Qingya took the handkerchief from her hand, and seeing her surprised expression, he couldn't help but raised his eyebrows and said, "What's so difficult about this?"
Zhixiao found it hard for Xu Duanyi to believe this.
He did not tell anyone about his previous experience in the military, but only said, "Don't worry, the food won't be so unpalatable that you'll vomit."
Xu Duanyi heard him say this.
I couldn't tell for a moment whether he really knew how to cook or he just thought cooking was easy and he could do it once he got the hang of it.
But she always responded to Xie Qingya's requests.
Now that Xie Qingya had spoken, there was no way she could stop him no matter what.
She didn't say much.
He just nodded and said with a smile, "Then I'll look forward to it."
Anyway, there are so many dishes. If you really can't eat them, she can just go and fry a few more later.
This is not a big deal.
But what surprised Xu Duanyi was——
The dishes cooked by Xie Qingya are not only not bad, they can even be said to be delicious.
The fish was braised with seasonings and was very fragrant.
The meat is chopped into minced meat, mixed with chopped lotus root, and steamed, with two eggs on top.
The egg on top has distinct white and yolk, and the minced meat mixed with lotus root underneath is also very fragrant, making people salivate at the mere smell of it.
There is also a plate of stir-fried seasonal vegetables, which also looks very appetizing.
Xie Qingya was serving food to people.
Just now Xu Duanyi wanted to go to the kitchen to help him, but he naturally refused.
He never thought about asking Xu Duanyi to cook.
The kitchen was smoky and noisy.
She had suffered enough just being here with him.
Of course he couldn't let her do these things anymore. Her hands could be used to play the piano, write, and paint, but they shouldn't do these things.
He wouldn't let her do these things.
Put the prepared rice next to her.
Seeing that Xu Duanyi was still looking surprised, Xie Qingya couldn't help but felt a little smug.
"How about it? It looks edible, right?" He raised his eyebrows and said to Xu Duanyi.
Xu Duanyi finally came to his senses after hearing his question.
There was still surprise in her eyes. She looked at Xie Qingya and did not hesitate to praise him. She said directly, "It looks delicious."
Xie Qingya, on the other hand, felt a little embarrassed after being praised by her.
My ears are a little hot.
He coughed lightly, turned his face away and said, "Let's eat."
It's actually past dinner time.
It was already a little late when they had breakfast this morning.
Later, they cleaned up a few rooms next door. After that, Xu Duanyi went to organize things while he went to the kitchen to cook.
Now I don't know what time it is.
But based on his past perception, it must have been past noon.
"I'll clean up the yard outside later." Xie Qingya said to Xu Duanyi while eating.
Xu Duanyi naturally had no objection.
Even if Xie Qingya didn't mention it, she was ready to bring it up.
I cleaned up a few rooms this morning and found a lot of books.
The sun was shining brightly today, so after dinner she was going to take out the moldy books to dry in the sun to remove the smell so that she could take them out and read them later.
But after lunch.
However, the two of them had a small conflict first.
Xu Duanyi thought that since Xie Qingya cooked, it was natural for her to wash the dishes, but Xie Qingya disagreed.
In the end, Xu Duanyi gave in and said, "Then you wash the dishes and cook, and I'll do the laundry."
That’s all.
Seeing Xie Qingya's eyebrows twitching and frowning, he was about to refute, but Xu Duanyi spoke before him, "Anyway, I have to do one of these three things."
"You choose."
She gave the choice to Xie Qingya.
She knew that Xie Qingya didn't want her to suffer with him, so he wanted to take care of all these things and not let her touch them.
But she didn't feel that she was suffering, she hoped that they could share the burden.
Xie Qingya was stared at by her and opened his mouth to refuse several times, but when he saw the way Xu Duanyi looked at him, he knew he couldn't convince her.
Finally, I gave up.
"Then you do the laundry."
Anyway, summer clothes are thin and the water is not that cold.
The most important thing was that he was indeed a little embarrassed to touch her clothes...
Otherwise, he would have rubbed it off last night.
That was how it was decided.
Neither of them had any further comments.
Anyway, even if Xie Qingya had opinions, he couldn't argue with Xu Duanyi.
Afterwards, Xie Qingya took the food box to the kitchen, while Xu Duanyi stayed behind to clean the table.
When Xie Qingya came back, Xu Duanyi had already made another pot of tea and was preparing to move all the books on the bookshelf outside to dry in the sun while the sun was still out.
The two of them divided the work.
Xie Qingya cleaned the weeds in the yard.
Xu Duanyi went in and out and started to dry the books.
Occasionally, when Xie Qingya raised his arm to wipe the sweat off his face, he would look towards the corridor. Whenever he saw Xu Duanyi drying her books, a gentle smile could not help but show in his eyes.
He couldn't help but think.
It would be a great thing if I could really spend the rest of my life here with Xu Duanyi.
At least in the end, he had her by his side.
"What's wrong?"
I heard a familiar voice coming from the front.
Only then did Xie Qingya come to his senses.
He noticed that she had turned her head back at some point and was now looking at him, asking him what was wrong.
Of course he would not tell her what he had just thought in his mind. He just looked at her and said, "It's okay."
Seeing that he refused to answer, Xu Duanyi said nothing.
But I saw that he was sweating profusely.
She quickly put down the book in her hand, went in and got out the tea that had just been cooled.
When Xie Qingya reached out to take it, she took out a handkerchief, tilted her head slightly, and carefully wiped the sweat off his face.
Seeing his face turned red by the sun, Xu Duanyi couldn't help but frown.
"Let's wait until the sun goes down, there's no rush anyway." She said to Xie Qingya.
When Xie Qingya lowered his head, he could see the worry and heartache in her eyes.
It was the first time that someone looked at him like this.
Such a look...
Even his parents have never looked at him like this.
Their family has always been rough with boys.
Especially him, he has been causing them a lot of headaches since he was born.
Ever since he learned to crawl, he has always been hard to find. When he grew up, he could climb walls and trees. He could do everything.
It was only when he went to the battlefield that his mother showed a little worry towards him, but it was more of complaint than heartache.
His mother never liked him going to the battlefield.
But she had long been accustomed to his disobedience.
This book is compiled exclusively for you by the LK team. "Xu Duanyi, I'm not a porcelain doll." Xie Qingya looked at the person with a low and hoarse voice, but there was also some movement in his eyes.
There is no one who doesn't like to be cared for like this, especially by their loved one.
Seeing Xu Duanyi like this, he couldn't help but want to hold her in his arms.
It’s a pity that he is now covered in sweat.
My hands are also very dirty.
"Okay, go back and do your thing. I don't have much left. Just clean up." He said and hurried back.
I was afraid that if I continued to be watched like this, I couldn't control myself anymore and hugged her and kissed her.
Xu Duanyi took a look at the things in front of him, and it was indeed not much, so she did not insist anymore. She just looked at his flushed face, thinking that she would have to use the jade face cream she brought to apply it on him later, otherwise he would be sunburned tomorrow.
No more was said at this time.
If he delays any longer, he will have to stay in the sun for a while longer.
He just wiped the sweat from the man's forehead and went back with the teacup.
However, after Xie Qingya finished his work and washed up, he refused to let Xu Duanyi wipe anything on his face.
At that time, Xu Duanyi had already spread out all the books that needed to be dried.
At first, Xie Qingya was pulled by her to sit in front of the dressing mirror. He didn't know what she was going to do until he saw her pick up a familiar small box from the dressing table.
Xie Qingya's expression suddenly changed.
He looked up and dodged to the side, and said to Xu Duanyi in shock, "What are you doing?"
"Use this to wipe your face, otherwise your skin will be peeling tomorrow." Xu Duanyi told the person truthfully.
This book is exclusively compiled by the LK team. She didn’t think there was anything wrong with her behavior. Instead, she said with regret: “It’s just that I didn’t bring pearl powder, otherwise I could use it to apply on your face.”
Xie Qingya naturally knew about pearl powder.
His mother is especially good at this.
In the past, when he went to his parents' house, he would occasionally see his mother asking someone to mix pearl powder with floral water and then apply it on her face.
The first time he saw her pale face, he was almost scared to death.
More times.
He was numb too.
The only thing he couldn't understand was that his father, who had always been wise and brave, would actually allow his mother to do whatever she wanted. Sometimes when he saw them standing in front of him with their pale faces, Xie Qingya didn't know whether to be more speechless or more shocked.
His mother wanted to harm him at first.
Of course he refused.
He thought he was the most capable man, how could he put something like this on his face? He was not his father, so he could obey his mother in everything.
Let her do whatever she wants.
If this gets out, will Mr. Xie still have face?
I don’t know how long I will be laughed at.
His mother scolded him for being ignorant and said that even though he could escape today, he would definitely not be able to escape after he got married.
He didn't think much of it at the time.
I just feel that even if I marry Xu Duanyi, it will be impossible for me to be manipulated like this.
He must have the final say.
I didn't expect that such a thing would actually happen today.
Xie Qingya was unwilling to do so, and he dodged while saying, "Xu Duanyi, I don't want it. I've been exposed to the scorching sun before, so how can I be so coquettish?"
"But this is good for the skin." Xu Duanyi still insisted.
Xie Qingya originally wanted to hide.
But when he saw people looking at him expectantly, Xie Qingya just felt a headache.
He never expected that what his mother said was true.
I never thought that I was so useless. I swore that I was the master of my own house and would never be controlled by others.
Now that people are looking at me with eager eyes, I can’t refuse anymore.
There was a stalemate for a while.
Xie Qingya finally lost the battle under Xu Duanyi's gaze.
He gritted his teeth, in his heart spitting at himself for being useless, while gnashing his teeth and saying to others: "—Just this once."
Seeing Xu Duanyi's eyebrows curved, he smiled and said yes.
Although Xie Qingya was helpless, he finally sat down properly. However, his body was stiff, which showed that he really didn't like this thing.
But in his heart, he gradually understood why his father could be so tolerant of his mother.
Willing to agree to anything.
No matter how tough a man is, he will become a softie when he gets home.
But as for pearl powder, no matter what he says, I will never try it!
Never!
Fortunately, Xu Duanyi's jade face cream does not have a strong balsamic smell, only a light milky scent, but it is not very noticeable unless you are too close.
It was only Xie Qingya's first try, and he was not used to it. He had to say "enough" and "okay" from time to time.
Finally finished.
He looked carefully in the mirror again for a while, making sure that he could see nothing, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Even though there's no one here.
But Xie Qingya still has a lot of dignity.
Xu Duanyi also saw his movements, and said to him with a smile: "You can't tell."
After hearing this, Xie Qingya reached out and pulled the person into his arms.
Now that his whole body was washed clean, he naturally wanted to do what he had wanted to do since early morning.
What's more, he felt that he had been wronged, so naturally he wanted to get back at Xu Duanyi for applying the jade cream.
His hands tightly grasped Xu Duanyi's waist.
Xie Qingya held the person in his arms, face to face, and then leaned towards the person.
Xu Duanyi felt a little embarrassed by his actions.
But she would never refuse Xie Qingya, nor could she bear to refuse.
Xu Duanyi put the jade cream in her hand on the dressing table behind her, then hung her hands around Xie Qingya's neck and let him approach her.
Seeing him getting closer and closer to her.
Xu Duanyi thought of the previous kisses and her cheeks subconsciously became hot and she wanted to close her eyes.
But I heard a low, hoarse male voice first: "Just wait."
Xu Duanyi was about to close the door, but when he heard this, he subconsciously stopped and looked at Xie Qingya with a puzzled expression.
She didn't seem to understand why he wanted her to do this.
Xie Qingya didn't explain, but continued to lean closer to her.
In the end it was only half a finger's distance.
The two people's breathing intertwined again.
Xie Qingya just looked at Xu Duanyi like this, putting one hand behind her to prevent her from feeling uncomfortable leaning against the table.
He did not let Xu Duanyi close her eyes. He also opened his eyes and looked at her while leaning towards her slender white neck.
He particularly liked Xu Duanyi's neck.
I also particularly like watching her uncontrollable movements when she can't help herself.
As soon as his breath sprayed on Xu Duanyi's neck, she seemed unable to bear the numbness and wanted to hide back.
But there was a dressing table behind her, where could she hide?
I wanted to close my eyes.
But Xie Qingya kept his eyes up while kissing her neck, watching her reaction. When he saw that she wanted to close her eyes again, he continued to say to her, "Don't close them. Look at me."
This was really too much for Xu Duanyi.
Her cheeks had already turned peach color.
Hun's whole body seemed to be boiling with heat.
My heart is beating fast.
The most terrible thing is that I don't know where to put those eyes.
She couldn't bear to look at him like that.
This is too difficult for her...
But Xie Qingya, who always listened to her, was very strong at this time.
He still looked at her and kissed her, but his kisses went from her neck to her shoulders.
Xu Duanyi's shoulders and neck were very beautiful, with smooth lines and a graceful and soft figure. Apart from her two personal maids, only Xie Qingya could have a glimpse of her charm.
This is much more than yesterday.
The clothes on the right shoulder are empty.
She could clearly feel Xie Qingya's breathing, as well as his straight nose and hot lips, which were gently caressing her with his breath.
"Xie Qingya..."
Xu Duanyi really couldn't bear it.
Especially feeling his breathing going down.
Her hands, which were originally hanging around his neck, uncontrollably used a little more force.
But this only brought people closer to me.
Her eyes were a little red.
But Xie Qingya had no intention of stopping today.
His kisses fell on Xu Duanyi's body densely, and after kissing for a while, he would look up at her.
Not only did he refuse to let her close her eyes, he also wanted her to watch how he kissed her.
Xu Duanyi's eyes turned red at last, but she still kept her eyes open obediently.
Xie Qingya was deeply moved by what he saw.
The kiss went up again.
Compared to the previous instigation, this time he kissed her lips without deliberately tormenting her. He just kissed her once and asked her, "Are you scared?"
His voice had long since become hoarse.
Xu Duanyi's consciousness had long been blurred at this moment, but after hearing these words, under Xie Qingya's gaze, he still shook his head, and finally buried his face in his shoulder.
Just like Xie Qingya usually is.
"...You can do whatever you want." Xu Duanyi buried his head in Xie Qingya's shoulder and spoke to him in a vague voice.
Xie Qingya's arms tightened again.
He said nothing, just gritted his teeth, picked the person up and walked towards the bed.
