Yan Xuanye ordered people to build a new mansion in Zhiyi City, which is about to be completed.
Before that, Yan Xuanye wanted to take her to his former mansion in the southern suburbs to live for a while.
"The preparations for the wedding are almost done. I know you don't like living in the Tongpan Mansion, and it's really not a good idea to always live in someone else's house. Let's go to the house in the southern suburbs and live there for a while.
I've heard that couples from the Central Plains can't meet before their wedding, but I can't bear to see you for too long. You can stay at the Nanjiao Mansion for another day. On the wedding day, I'll lead the wedding procession around the city and finally come to the Nanjiao Mansion to pick you up."
"Is this arrangement okay?"
At that time, Su Qian had just been tortured by Yan Xuanye and was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes. Although he didn't really want her during these days, he did a lot of marginal things with her.
Every time afterward, Yan Xuanye would pour out sweet words like they were free, coaxing her not to do it again next time, and then he would hug her and have a physiological reaction.
Su Qian was very annoyed by this.
She was so sleepy that she responded perfunctorily twice and then fell into a deep sleep.
Su Qian is grumpy when she wakes up and will lose her temper if she doesn't get enough sleep. Yan Xuanye also knows that he has made her very upset these days, so he doesn't dare to disturb her easily when she is sleeping.
He only hopes now that he can marry her quickly, otherwise he will suffocate to death.
Every time he could only eat some meat scraps and minced meat, and he was already in an impatient state.
…
Su Qian lived peacefully in the house in the southern suburbs for a few days. Here, there was no Miss Jiang who came to pick a fight on purpose, and no maid who gossiped behind her back. She lived a very happy life.
She would sleep until she woke up naturally during the day, then go horseback riding and hunting with Yan Xuanye, watch the sunset, and roast pheasants and rabbits together at night.
The sky is vast, the clouds are as deep as the sea, the red sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Sometimes when she snuggles on Yan Xuanye's shoulder, she will be dazzled by such tenderness.
The clouds were painted golden pink by the sunlight, and the world was bright because of the sun.
At this moment, Yan Xuanye was like her light.
Although she was always worried about her mission and life after traveling to ancient times, she had to admit that the few happy moments in her life were given to her by Yan Xuanye.
Su Qian always told herself that what she wanted was a life with a bright future and a free life without being controlled by others.
But she forgot one thing, which is also the most difficult thing for her to have.
That’s the word “accompany”.
Her biological parents didn't want her, so her grandmother picked her up and adopted her, giving her nine short years of companionship and love. From then on, her life was filled with darkness...
When she was a student, the girls would always invite each other to go to the toilet together. She had done that before, but later on, in order to save some time for studying, she gradually drifted away from her good classmates.
Their evaluation of her is that she is very beautiful and hardworking, but they also feel that she doesn't seem to need much friendship and companionship.
Actually, no, she just wanted to break free from the darkness and she yearned for a brighter and freer future.
Su Qian had no way out. If she took a step back, she would die. She could only be forced to become their child bride and live under the control of that family.
She didn't dare to relax for even a second, but such behavior also made people mistakenly think that she didn't need company.
Over time, she herself forgot this.
She is a human being, and humans are social animals. It is impossible for them to survive alone all the time.
Su Qian didn't know what Yan Xuanye's feelings for her were, nor did she know how deep his feelings were. She just realized that she seemed to be becoming more and more dependent on him.
When he accompanied her on horseback hunting trips, played Gobang with her, barbecued with her, watched the sunset with her, and did things to her that only a lover could do...
Su Qian found that she was no longer resistant to him as before, but instead had a kind of... weird dependence on him.
Su Qian tentatively called this dependence weird.
Because she had never experienced such a strange emotion before.
Yan Xuanye next to her was concentrating on grilling lamb chops for her. The whole lamb was skewered on the grill and roasted until it was sizzling with oil. He turned the lamb chops back and forth and sprinkled them with chili, salt, pepper and other seasonings.
The smoke and the aroma of meat fill the air...
Machi and Gebulu, who were not far away, urged Yan Xuanye to hurry up in the northern dialect. Yan Xuanye smiled and scolded them for being greedy and lazy.
Machi and Gebulu were not annoyed. They smiled and said that this was a chance for Yan Xuanye to show off in front of the goddess. Yan Xuanye smiled and said nothing, only glancing at her reaction from time to time.
There are all kinds of things in the world, and there are both cold and warm moments in the human world.
It is precisely because Su Qian has witnessed so much darkness and unbearableness that she cherishes and cares even more about this free and easy moment in front of her.
Indeed, the word that can most soothe people's hearts is love.
Su Qian didn't know whether Yan Xuanye would get tired of her in the future and turn to love someone else, or whether she would be beheaded by Lu Huan before the day he changed his heart came.
Before this, she sincerely hoped that this day would come later.
She didn't dare ask for too much, nor did she expect to be loved all the time or have someone accompany her all the time.
But, she wanted more.
'Just a little more, my life has been too hard, I just hope I can enjoy it a little longer, that would be enough...' she said to herself in her heart.
Yan Xuanye took out the short knife he carried with him, cut off a leg of lamb, and handed it to her, "Here."
Su Qian took it and said, "This lamb leg is too big. I can't finish it."
Yan Xuanye smiled wantonly, and at that moment he even showed some youthful vigor and ambition: "With me here, what are you afraid of?"
In fact, he is not very old. In modern times, he is just a young man in his twenties.
It's just that he usually trains troops and fights wars, and he always has a gloomy face. His temperament is too sinister, and he carries the murderous spirit of a soldier. It makes people scared and think that he looks older and gloomy.
Now he is happier and looks younger.
"Eat, eat. If you can't finish it, I'll finish it for you."
Her eyes felt hot, and she was moved for some reason. For a moment, she didn't know what to say. She could only eat the lamb leg in big mouthfuls. Yan Xuanye thought she liked the taste of the lamb leg, and he was very happy.
…
On this day, because the preparations before the wedding were too complicated, and Machi and Gebulu were both rough men, Yan Xuanye was afraid that they were not well prepared, so he decided to supervise it personally.
Seeing that Yan Xuanye was going to Zhiyi City for something, Su Qian begged him to take her with him, "I want to go to the teahouse to listen to stories, so please take me with you."
Yan Xuanye couldn't resist her pleading and said lovingly, "Okay, then let Lu Feng and the guards go with you, so I can rest assured."
"good!"
The two of them boarded the carriage together, but after entering the city, they separated and headed in different directions...
