Chapter 1745 The most terrifying thing is unrequited love
Xu Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, tilted her head and looked at her for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "Hello."
In his own home, he should have been the one to entertain the other party, but he let the other party speak first. Gu Qiqing immediately felt that it was inappropriate and hurriedly said, "Miss Xu."
Xu Xiaoxiao stepped forward and said with a generous smile, "I'm here to be your friend. Calling you 'Miss Xu' is too distant."
“…”
"You can call me Xiaoxiao, and I will call you Qiqing."
“…”
"If we walk and talk a little longer, we'll become friends."
I didn't expect the other party to be so simple and direct, but this kind of directness is not offensive, but instead gives people a comfortable and refreshing feeling.
Gu Qiqing had been locked up in the attic for these days, and even though he came out today, he still felt a little lethargic. He had originally planned to meet the guests and then go back to rest, but now, seeing Xu Xiaoxiao's smile, he actually felt a little bit of strength.
She also smiled: "Okay, okay."
“…”
"Xiaoxiao..."
"Hey! Qi Qing."
"Um."
The two girls were of similar age and seemed to have the same thoughts. They looked at each other and laughed.
Gu Qiqing took out the host's money and said with a smile, "Xiaoxiao, where do you want to go? Do you want to sit in my room and have some tea?"
"No, no, I had a full stomach of tea and snacks in the palace early this morning, so I'm not hungry at all now."
"Oh... palace?"
"Yes, I came to your house as soon as I left the palace."
As she spoke, Xu Xiaoxiao deliberately glanced at Gu Qiqing, noticing a hint of sadness in her eyes, and then calmly said, "I heard that the garden of the Gu Mansion is very beautiful. Can you take me for a walk in your garden? It will also help me digest my food."
"Okay."
As he spoke, Gu Qiqing turned around and said to the maid behind him: "Liu Shui, you don't have to follow me, Xiao Xiao and I can go."
"yes."
The maid was originally preparing to follow, but when she heard the young lady's instructions, she stopped and cleared the teacups in the lobby.
The two men left the lobby and walked for a while before arriving at the garden.
Xu Xiaoxiao looked at the place. The weather was warming up and the sun was shining brightly today, shining on the new green sprouting on the treetops and branches. Some flowers and trees had already sprouted buds. Although there was no magnificent sight of red and green flowers and willows, just looking at these new greens and reds, she could already feel the breath of spring.
Xu Xiaoxiao said, "How can you know how beautiful spring is without visiting the gardens?"
“…”
Gu Qiqing was startled by her words.
Xu Xiaoxiao seemed to sense her emotions, so she turned around and glanced at her, then smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, there are only two of us here."
“…”
"Do you think I'm too brave?"
Gu Qiqing thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Xiaoxiao, you are so straightforward by nature. I envy you."
Xu Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Really?"
"certainly."
"Ha, I thought you wouldn't like me."
"How could that be? People are truly envious of your character."
Xu Xiaoxiao smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed.
Then, as if involuntarily, he murmured, "He has a really good eye."
"What?"
Gu Qiqing was a little confused when he heard her suddenly say this, but Xu Xiaoxiao had already waved her hand and said, "Nothing. By the way, the scenery that day seemed nice. How about we go over there and take a look?"
"Uh, okay, I'll go with you."
The two girls walked hand in hand to the other side.
When Xu Xiaoxiao arrived at someone else's home, she was not timid, but very generous. She ran to sit in the pavilion, and then went to the pond to watch the fish swimming slowly in it. Her laughter added a bit of liveliness to the garden.
However, Gu Qiqing, although he followed her all the way, always seemed to be worried.
He hesitated to speak several times.
Xu Xiaoxiao looked at her, but didn't say much.
The two of them were tired from strolling around, so they sat down on a long corridor by the pool. Gu Qiqing said softly, "Would you like some tea? I'll ask the maids to bring some food over."
Xu Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "No need."
"oh……"
She looked at Gu Qiqing and said deliberately, "I ate several plates of snacks in the palace early this morning. I was so stuffed that I am almost dead. I am just digesting it now."
"In the palace..."
Gu Qiqing finally couldn't contain himself after hearing this and whispered, "You went into the palace today?"
"yes."
"You, you go see—"
"Of course it's the Queen Mother. My aunt often summons me to the palace to accompany her."
"oh……"
Gu Qiqing nodded and fell silent again.
But once she started asking, she couldn't control herself anymore. She bit her lower lip and whispered, "Well, have you seen, have you seen—"
Xu Xiaoxiao stared at her: "What?"
"Meet... His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei?"
Xu Xiaoxiao felt like she was about to sweat.
Hearing her finally ask, she breathed a sigh of relief and immediately smiled and said, "Of course I have."
Then he tilted his head and looked at Xu Xiaoxiao: "You, have also met His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei?"
"Yeah, I've seen it twice."
“…”
"What's wrong?"
"Uh, no, nothing."
Gu Qiqing felt that he was very bold. After asking this question, his body felt hot and sweat broke out. A faint red appeared on his pale face. He shook his head and said, "I just asked casually."
Seeing her like this, Xu Xiaoxiao smiled.
He muttered to himself, "Good thing I asked."
“…”
"I was afraid that if you didn't ask, you wouldn't be able to complete your mission when you return."
Gu Qiqing looked up at her in confusion: "What? What errand?"
Xu Xiaoxiao waved her hands hurriedly: "It's okay, you don't need to ask, I know it myself."
As she spoke, she turned her head with a smile, looking at the fish in the pond below the corridor that were gradually becoming lively, and murmured, "In this world, lovesickness is not the most terrible thing. The most terrible thing is unrequited love."
Gu Qiqing didn't hear her murmurs clearly, but he felt that she was a little strange: "What? What did you say?"
"fine!"
Xu Xiaoxiao patted her shoulder and said with a smile, "Do you have anything else to ask me?"
"No, no more."
"oh……"
Gu Qiqing had originally asked the question bravely, but she was confused about what to ask next and had not thought about it at all. What's more, as a lady from a famous family, she should not ask questions to a strange man, especially His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei.
If my father knew about this, I would probably be locked up in the attic again.
Seeing her like this, Xu Xiaoxiao, who was so smart, of course guessed it.
So I didn't say much.
He just smiled and said, "Qiqing, can I still come to play with you often in the future?"
Gu Qiqing said: "Of course."
"That's good."
Xu Xiaoxiao smiled and looked at the slightly red tips of Gu Qiqing's ears, with a hint of smile on the corner of her mouth, but Qiqing just lowered his head with a red face, and did not notice her meaningful look at all.
