The next few days were peaceful, but suddenly one day Shao Heng came back and looked at her with an hesitation to speak.
Xihe looked at him in confusion, but Shaoheng shook his head and turned to deal with the monsters. As he hunted more monsters, he also learned how to deal with them himself, so that he could lose less money.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the boy's increasingly broad shoulders. His profile is handsome, and his youthfulness has faded away in a trance.
Xihe looked at it and couldn't take his eyes off it for a long time.
This went on for a while, and Shao Heng went out for several days during this period. Until this day, when she finished soaking her feet at night, Shao Heng wiped them and said, "Miss, how are you feeling recently? Can you practice?"
His feet suddenly stopped, but Shao Heng seemed not to notice. He lowered his head and said, "We have been away from Yunzhou for so long. I don't know if the master has returned. If you can practice, we can go find them, okay?"
"Miss, you must miss them very much, right?" The young man raised his head, his dark eyes deep and unfathomable.
Xihe clenched his fingers, his throat seemed to be blocked, and after a long time, he finally uttered a word with difficulty: "I want to."
Shao Heng laughed and put her feet under the quilt, as if casually: "Miss, if you find the master, will you still be willing to stay here with me?"
He smiled, but Xihe inexplicably heard a creepy feeling, and her scalp tingled.
She was now 100% sure that he knew almost everything.
She pushed him away with a dry laugh, crawled under the quilt, and muttered with her eyes closed, "Of course not."
The temperature around her dropped suddenly, and a sharp shock fell on her face.
Xihe smiled and said, "Now that we have found my dad, of course we have to go back together. Why are we still here?"
The coldness dissipated, and a figure approached, rubbing his rough hands against her cheeks. The young man said in a low voice, "Miss, do you really think so? Are you willing to take me back?"
The breath approached. Xihe didn't open her eyes, her eyelashes trembling, and heard him ask, "In what capacity?"
Her lips felt heavy, and something warm and soft touched her. She suddenly opened her eyes and saw the young man's face close to her, his eyes burning: "How do you think of this identity of your husband?"
Xihe: “…”
She pushed him away, sat up and looked at him with a frown.
Shao Heng looked sad: "Shao Heng has been in love with Miss for a long time. Miss, don't you have any feelings for Shao Heng?"
Xihe was silent. If she didn't understand what he was doing at this moment, she would be a fool. He was obviously going to check the whereabouts of Master Hua. What she said almost exposed her.
She sighed deeply in her heart, thinking that what was supposed to come had finally come, but she didn't expect it to be so soon.
Xihe wondered, should she run or not?
"Miss!"
Shaoheng suddenly interrupted her.
Xihe raised her eyes, and Shaoheng turned away in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, it was my fault today."
Xihe: ???
"You should have a good rest."
Shaoheng left in a hurry.
Xihe was suddenly confused and didn't know what he wanted to do.
After that day, there was an inexplicable rift between the two. Although their words and actions were no different from before, they seemed less intimate.
Even a slow-witted person like Cheng Fan realized something was wrong only later, but no matter who he asked, he got the same answer: "Nothing's wrong." It wasn't until Bai Ling'er came to the courtyard in broad daylight that he was so shocked that he almost jumped up and down. What were these two people doing?
In the yard, Bai Ling'er occupied the lounge chair where Xihe often sat, but she was smiling and not angry.
Cheng Fan was terrified. He grabbed Shao Heng's shoulders and lowered his voice: "What are you doing? Why did you let Bai Ling'er come here? Don't you know she is the most difficult to deal with?"
Shao Heng didn't even raise his head as he cleaned the spirit beast meat: "Bai Ling'er just has a little girl's temper."
Cheng Fan: “…”
He looked at Shao Heng in surprise: "You, you are not attracted to her, are you? No! I don't agree! Are you doing this to Hua Shang? She likes you so much, how will she..."
"She likes me? She likes herself, right?"
Shao Heng sneered, stood up and pushed the door open to go out.
Cheng Fan was dumbfounded. How could this happen so suddenly? What if... what should Hua Chang do?
In the yard, Bai Ling'er swung her legs leisurely and suddenly glanced at the woman beside her: "Are you Hua Shang? I heard that Shao Heng was once your family's horse slave?"
"Oh, the Washington Palace has collapsed, but you still hold on to it. Don't you think you are despicable?"
Xihe raised her eyes and looked quietly at the unruly girl opposite her.
Bai Ling'er suddenly smiled and leaned closer to her: "You don't think that no one knows what you did, do you? If you have any sense, you should leave on your own. Otherwise, you will become a drowned dog and be kicked out."
Xihe didn't say anything, just looked at her quietly.
Bai Ling'er suddenly became furious, gritting her teeth. "Who the hell are you? How dare you stay with Shao Heng? With his qualifications, he can get anything he wants. You lowly mortal...ah!"
She covered her face in disbelief: "You dare to hit me?"
Xihe slowly withdrew his hand and straightened his sleeves: "If you want to hit me, then hit me. What do you want?"
When had Bai Ling'er ever seen such an arrogant person? She immediately said viciously, "My parents have never hit me, how dare you hit me? I will make you pay the price!"
Xihe sat there, watching Bai Ling'er's whip swing in front of him and then suddenly fly away.
Bai Ling'er turned around, furious: "Shao Heng, you are still siding with this woman!"
Shao Heng looked at her coldly: "Who told you to hit her?"
Bai Ling'er couldn't believe it, and then she was so angry that her lungs were about to explode. She stomped her feet and ran out of the yard angrily.
The yard became quiet. Xihe smoothed her skirt and stood up to go back to the house. She didn't look at Shaoheng when she passed by him. Shaoheng suddenly clenched his palms, pursed his lips and looked at her back.
The two of them were completely caught in a cold war, and Cheng Fan was caught in the middle, feeling very troubled.
They still went outside the city to hunt monsters, but Xihe no longer stayed in the courtyard all day. He wandered around the market and sent a letter to Master He, inviting him to come over.
After returning, she found that Shaoheng and the other man had already returned, so she went straight back to the house.
"Where did you go?"
Bang, the door closed.
Cheng Fan lowered his head, not daring to look at Shao Heng's dark face.
With a whoosh, Shao Heng stood up, strode over, pushed the door open and entered the room. Cheng Fan stretched his neck, but unfortunately he heard nothing.
"Eat it." Shao Heng put a small porcelain bottle on the table.
Xihe glanced at him and ignored him.
The next second, she was pinned to the bed. Shao Heng looked at her coldly, "Can't you hear me?"
Xihe felt uncomfortable being pressed down, and tried to push him, but couldn't move him at all, so he gave up, turned his face away, and acted as if he didn't want to look at him.
Shao Heng hated her being like this the most. He was furious and pinched her face: "Do you think I will never be able to escape from your control in this life, and you can do whatever you want? Whether I am in pain or suffering, you don't care at all?"
He felt uncomfortable and stared at her intently: "Hua Shang, do you have a heart?"
Xihe blinked and looked at him. At this time, did he still care whether she felt sorry for him?
She seemed to be thinking about something. This boy probably knew that she and Master Hua were plotting against him, but he probably didn't know to what extent.
Xihe's eyelids drooped, revealing stubbornness: "You were the one who pissed me off first." He bit back, "And you brought another woman back."
Shao Heng: “…”
