In the evening, Qi Yunxiao came to see Chen Yao as promised.
At this time, Chen Yao had just finished dinner and was taking a walk in her yard to digest the food.
When Qi Yunxiao arrived, he saw her strolling in the courtyard, talking and laughing with Xi Chunyuezhu. He paused and stopped where he was.
Chen Yao noticed him with her sharp eyes and smiled at him, "You're here."
Qi Yunxiao saluted her from a distance before walking over.
By the time he walked in front of her, Xichun and Yuezhu had already retreated at her signal.
Suddenly, they were the only two people left in the courtyard.
"you......"
"you......"
Just like last time, they spoke at the same time, even their opening remarks were the same.
When their eyes met, they couldn't help laughing.
Qi Yunxiao spoke first: "Are you not angry anymore?"
When he asked this question, his hands hanging by his side clenched slightly, as if he was restraining something, but his eyes looked at her very directly, as if he had already confirmed something.
Chen Yao pursed her lips and smiled, explaining: "I'm not angry, I just... there are some things I haven't figured out yet."
Although she said this, Chen Yao actually understood better than anyone else that some things require alternating tension and relaxation, back and forth, hooking and releasing, so as to give each other time to think and calm down.
Only in this way, someone like Qi Yunxiao, who is already of noble status, and even has some arrogance in his bones, can experience the feeling of worrying about gains and losses.
How could he get everything so easily?
Qi Yunxiao paused for a moment, then a smile appeared on his lips, "I'm glad you're not angry."
Chen Yao asked with great interest: "What if I really get angry? What are you going to do?"
Qi Yunxiao stood there and pondered for a moment before saying in a deep voice, "I will...do more things like collecting dew today."
Chen Yao smiled and asked softly, "Did you rush out to collect dew at dawn today as soon as you started your shift?"
Qi Yunxiao said truthfully: "Yeah."
Chen Yao's gaze blurred for a moment. "Mo Chuan, what were you thinking at that time? Can you tell me?"
"Miss you.
"I was thinking... to finish picking it sooner and send it over sooner." Qi Yunxiao said nervously.
"Anything else? Are you thinking about anything else? For example: I'm so tired from the night watch, I want to go back and rest early, or... am I still angry, when will I be willing to see you?" When she said this, Chen Yao laughed, with a bit of joking in her tone.
Qi Yunxiao's expression became even more tense, but he was still as frank as ever: "I think so. I wonder how long it will take for you to be willing to see me."
The air suddenly became quiet.
Chen Yao sat upright on the stone bench, her eyes flashing, and the deep thought in her eyes was revealed, "Mo Chuan, so... are you trying to please me?"
Qi Yunxiao clenched his hands at his side even tighter, pursed his lips for a moment, and then released them. "No, I'm just afraid you won't want to see me again. Besides, that little thing is what I should do."
Chen Yao raised her eyes and said, "You are my bodyguard. No matter what, we won't be separated forever. But thank you for picking the dew early in the morning."
Qi Yunxiao felt a little bitter in his heart. What he actually wanted to say was that he was afraid that she would ignore him, but with his current status, he could not say such words no matter what.
Seeing him pursing his lips and not saying a word, Chen Yao thought that he was feeling aggrieved because he had been ignored for the past few days. After thinking about it, she let him come forward and lowered her head to get closer.
Qi Yunxiao lowered his head and moved closer, somewhat at a loss.
Silently, Chen Yao's slender, fair and beautiful hand had already reached out to touch him.
The small scar on the forehead that had already recovered was instantly covered by the warm and soft touch.
"It shouldn't hurt anymore, right? Fortunately, it won't leave scars. But you still have to keep applying the ointment I gave you for the next few days. Remember?"
The gentle and beautiful words of concern did soothe the bitterness in Qi Yunxiao's heart, but for a moment, another strange feeling surged in his heart.
"Don't get hurt again in the future." Chen Yao withdrew her hand after giving the instruction.
But the next moment, his wrist was suddenly grasped by a large hand with scorching heat.
She looked up at the owner of the big hand in surprise. The moment she met his dark, deep and complex gaze, she even thought that he had recovered his memory.
"Chen Yao..." He said with a complicated expression, "I will listen to you."
After he finished speaking, he released her wrist without waiting for Chen Yao's reaction. "I'm sorry, I was too moved by what you said at the moment, and I was in a trance and offended you."
He looked like he was explaining something wrong with his head down. Chen Yao even thought he had some green tea intentions. She just smiled and said generously, "Forget it. I won't argue with you any more. But don't do this again next time. Remember your duty as a guard."
Qi Yunxiao only whispered: "I understand."
Chen Yao hummed and continued, "Just now I had another thing I wanted to ask you, but I haven't asked it yet."
Qi Yunxiao raised his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"
Chen Yao changed the subject directly: "What I wanted to ask just now is, how is your health recently? Are you feeling unwell? Do you need to ask the doctor to come to your house again to take a look?"
Qi Yunxiao replied: "It shouldn't be necessary. I feel like I've almost recovered now."
