Chapter 890 You Wish
When Xiao Xixi returned to Yunxiu Palace, Luo Qinghan had been sitting in the corridor for some time.
He was wearing moon-white clothes, his black hair was fixed with a jade hairpin, his eyebrows were clear and cold, and his jade-like skin was coated with a layer of cold light by the moonlight, which made him seem even more unattainable.
There was no expression on his face, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
Seeing Xixi coming back, he just asked lightly.
"Are you back?"
Xiao Xixi ran over excitedly: "Why are you sitting here? It's so hot and there are mosquitoes. Come on, go inside."
She pulled Luo Qinghan into the house.
Luo Qinghan lowered his eyes and looked at the wrist that she was holding.
With a little effort, he broke free from her hand.
Before she could react, he held her hand again, tightly.
This time it was Luo Qinghan who led her forward.
There were several ice basins in the room, emitting cool air, which was much cooler than outside.
As soon as he entered the room, Xiao Xixi pulled his hand out.
It was too hot that day and my palms were sweating easily. It was very uncomfortable to hold my hand all the time.
She moved closer to the ice basin and felt the cool air coming out of it. Looking at her like that, one really wanted to stick his whole body against it.
In such hot weather, I have to rely on ice basins to survive!
Zhezhi stepped forward to help her remove the pearl hairpin on her head, and helped her change into a lighter and looser dress.
Baoqin served her cold tea, then led everyone out, leaving the space in the room for the emperor and the imperial concubine.
Xiao Xixi sat down next to Luo Qinghan, picked up the teacup, and drank the whole bowl of herbal tea in one gulp.
She poured herself another bowl, and this time she drank it more slowly.
Luo Qinghan took a folding fan and fanned her slowly and steadily.
He asked after she finished her second cup of herbal tea.
"You went out of the palace this afternoon?"
Xiao Xixi put down the teacup: "Yes, Concubine Li and I went out together. Her mother was sick and I wanted to go home to see her."
She paused and continued, "I asked Concubine Li, and she said she didn't want to stay in the palace anymore. She wanted to leave the palace and start a new life."
Luo Qinghan was not surprised by this.
He knew that Concubine Li made money by writing storybooks, and he also knew that Concubine Li was gradually no longer paying attention to him, so it was normal for her to make such a decision.
Luo Qinghan asked: "Did her family agree?"
Xiao Xixi: "She left the palace today. In addition to visiting her mother, she also sought her father's consent. The Li family accepted her decision to leave the palace."
At this point, she couldn't help but sigh: "Her family is really good to her."
Luo Qinghan: "Am I not good to you?"
Xiao Xixi was stunned. The topic changed too quickly.
She nodded stupidly: "You are very nice to me."
Luo Qinghan: "Then you don't have to envy others. Concubine Li has a family, and you have me."
The sudden sweet words made Xiao Xixi couldn't help but laugh out loud.
She rushed over, held Luo Qinghan's face, kissed him on the lips, then leaned into Luo Qinghan's arms and shouted exaggeratedly.
"You have such a sweet mouth. Tell me the truth, did you secretly eat honey while I was away?"
Luo Qinghan took the opportunity to hug her waist: "I don't like eating honey."
Xiao Xixi: "So what do you like to eat?"
Luo Qinghan: "What do you think?"
The two hugged each other for a long time before separating.
It was a very hot day, and both of them were at an age when they were easily restless. The little flames in their bodies were immediately ignited, and their bodies suddenly felt even hotter, and even their breath was particularly hot and rapid.
Xiao Xixi moved to the ice basin again, trying to absorb the cool air and suppress the restlessness in her body.
Luo Qinghan didn't move.
He just stared at Xixi, his dark eyes filled with a surging possessive desire.
It was like a ferocious beast ready to devour someone, emitting a dangerous aura.
Even if Xiao Xixi didn't look back, she could feel the burning gaze on her.
The atmosphere in the room was too ambiguous, like a taut guitar string that was in danger of breaking at any moment.
Xiao Xixi endured her rapid heartbeat and forced herself to change the subject.
"What do you think about Concubine Li's matter?"
Luo Qinghan changed his sitting position, his eyes still fixed on Xixi, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Since she is willing to leave, let's send her out."
Xiao Xixi couldn't help but look back at him.
I just happened to meet his aggressive gaze and my heart trembled.
She shrank back subconsciously.
This small action seemed to stimulate Luo Qinghan, calming his brain a little.
He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the aggression in his eyes had dissipated a lot, but his thin lips were still slightly pursed, as if he was trying hard to endure something, appearing suppressed and restrained.
He whispered, "Don't be afraid."
Xiao Xixi wanted to say that she was not afraid, but she felt that it was too hypocritical.
She asked tentatively, "Do you need my help?"
Luo Qinghan: "No, it will be fine in a while."
Xiao Xixi: "Then, then you should drink some herbal tea, herbal tea can reduce internal heat."
Luo Qinghan thought that in his current state, it would be useless even if he soaked himself in herbal tea.
But he still picked up the teacup silently and took two sips of the cold tea.
Xiao Xixi asked cautiously, "Do you feel better now?"
Luo Qinghan felt even more restless when she looked at him with those cute little animal-like eyes, but he just replied calmly.
"Much better."
Xiao Xixi felt relieved: "That's good."
Luo Qinghan suddenly asked: "Is your birthday coming soon?"
Xiao Xixi thought for a moment before saying, "It seems so."
Luo Qinghan: "What gift do you want for your birthday this year?"
Xiao Xixi: "Anything is OK?"
Luo Qinghan: "Yeah."
He paused and added, "As long as it is what you want, I will give it to you."
When he said this, his eyes were extremely focused, as if he could only see her in the whole world. Even if she wanted the moon in the sky, he would pick it down for her.
Xiao Xixi blurted out without hesitation: "I want to sleep alone."
Luo Qinghan thought he had misheard.
He asked again with more emphasis: "What did you say you wanted?"
Xiao Xixi: "It's too hot now, and I'm particularly restless when I sleep. I always can't help but stick to you. I often wake up in the middle of the night because of the heat, and I wake up the next morning covered in sweat. It's so uncomfortable! I think we should sleep separately before this summer is over, so that we can both be more comfortable."
Luo Qinghan: “…”
He asked expressionlessly, "You want to sleep in a separate room from me?"
Xiao Xixi: "We're just sleeping in separate rooms temporarily. When the weather gets cooler, we can sleep together again."
Luo Qinghan spat out four words coldly.
"You wish."
Xiao Xixi: "Don't you think it's too hot for two people to sleep together in this weather?"
Luo Qinghan: "I'm not afraid of the heat."
Xiao Xixi: "But I'm scared!"
Luo Qinghan: "Can't you just bear it for me? I can bear it for you forever."
