Song Heqing still had things to do, so he didn't stay long. He gave Song Luan some instructions and gave him a lot of money before leaving.
Song Luan sat in the private room and ate and drank her fill before going downstairs. She bought a lot of things on the street in one breath, and only returned home reluctantly when her mood improved.
When she returned to the courtyard, she saw Zhao Nanyu standing under the covered bridge from afar. He stood quietly with his hands behind his back, as if waiting for her. The man smiled at her and said gently, "You're back."
"Yeah." After a long pause, she said, "I bought you a gift, too."
Zhao Nanyu was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that he would get a share among all the things she bought today. The smile in the corner of his eyes deepened, and he politely and courteously said thank you to her.
Song Luan also bought him a jade crown on a whim. After all, it's never wrong to be nice to the male protagonist. In fact, she didn't just buy things for him, she also bought things for Shi Ge'er and even Zhao Chao. After all, her uncle was Shi Ge'er's teacher. Although they didn't like each other very much, it was not easy to treat each other badly.
Zhao Nanyu walked towards her and stood in front of her. His tall body blocked her light, and her hair fluttered in the wind. He raised his hand to brush her hair carefully, and then said softly, "I'm going to Quzhou the day after tomorrow."
Song Luan breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the plot had not changed because of her time travel. She was so happy that she decided to go, go, go quickly. Go find your heroine quickly, the cute little white flower is waiting for you!
Song Luan tried to keep her face straight and said, "Oh, okay."
She raised her eyelids and quietly looked at the expression on Zhao Nanyu's face, and found that this person seemed unhappy. After a few months of getting along, Song Luan had acquired the skill to accurately see whether Zhao Nanyu was in a good mood or not. Although the smile on his face did not diminish at this time, she could see the falsity revealed in his smile.
Tsk tsk, men’s hearts are like the sea, they change at any time.
She just didn't understand why she was so unhappy suddenly? She has only said two words since she came back. This shouldn't be the case.
Zhao Nanyu's eyes stayed on her face, carefully studying her expression. Unfortunately, he could not see any reluctance or worry in her look. The curve of his lips gradually dropped, and his smile diminished by three points. At this moment, he realized very clearly that Song Luan did not care about his whereabouts.
This realization made Zhao Nanyu feel very uncomfortable. His eyes dimmed, the sharpness was hidden under his eyes, and the five fingers under his sleeves curled up slightly. He originally had something else to say. He wanted her to go to Quzhou together.
This trip to Quzhou would take about half a month, which wasn’t a long time, but Zhao Nanyu just wanted to take her with him this time.
Song Luan's heart started pounding when she was looked at by her. Just as she was about to speak, the man in front of her turned and went into the house, seemingly not wanting to pay attention to her.
The two people stayed in a room in silence, and no one took the initiative to speak. Zhao Nanyu sat in front of the window holding a book, his jawline was taut, his delicate facial features were slightly sharp, and his aura was as cold as ice.
Song Luan sat far away from him, cross-legged on the soft couch, unpacking the things he had just bought one by one and sorting them out carefully.
Zhao Nanyu watched her movements silently out of the corner of his eyes, his thin lips pursed into a straight line, and his expression gradually turned cold.
She is really heartless.
Song Luan showed the word "luxury" to the fullest when she went out this time. Aunt Lin gave her a lot of money when she went back to her parents' home, and Song Heqing also gave her a lot of silver, so she had no shortage of money at all. She didn't care whether the things were expensive or not, as long as she liked them, she would buy them.
She placed the jewelry and clothes she bought for herself neatly in the closet. After hesitating for a while, she took out the jade crown she wanted to give to Zhao Nanyu, held it in her hand and looked at it for a long time, struggling between giving it and not giving it.
Song Luan glanced at him secretly and found that Zhao Nanyu's face was quite cold, and he seemed even more unhappy than before. The air pressure in the bedroom was extremely low. She sighed and chose to continue sitting there and wait until Zhao Nanyu's face looked better before going over.
She picked up a book from the bookshelf and started reading. The content was complicated and lengthy. After reading for a while, her little head couldn't help nodding and she felt drowsy.
Zhao Nanyu put down the book in his hand and silently took in her movements. The frost between his brows gradually melted, and his expression was not as heavy as before.
He remembered that Song Luan couldn't even recognize a few words. He also heard that when she was a child, she refused to study hard and her academic performance was a mess. She often made her teachers angry. After four years of marriage, Zhao Nanyu had never seen her read a book. Sure enough, this time she was pretending to read the book. She almost fell asleep after turning only two pages.
With a bang, Song Luan's forehead hit the table. The pain woke her up instantly and her sleepiness disappeared. She rubbed her forehead and subconsciously looked over to Zhao Nanyu. The man lowered his head and seemed not to see what happened here.
Song Luan got off the couch, holding the jade crown she bought for him tightly in her hand, and ran to him, lowered her head to him, and coughed twice. She could have spoken properly but she refused to do so, "Ahem, I bought you a jade crown."
Zhao Nanyu took the item and looked at it, "It looks good."
Song Luan felt that his face looked better after he received the gift she gave him, much better than his gloomy look just now. She nodded, "As long as you like it."
Zhao Nanyu quietly put the things away, raised his eyes, thought for a moment and said, "I have something I want to discuss with you."
Zhao Nanyu thought that he might not be able to wait for Song Luan to bring up the matter of Quzhou on her own initiative. She had not cared about it from beginning to end and had never asked him when he would leave or when he would come back. His anger just now seemed like a joke.
Yes, why bother with her so much? So Zhao Nanyu decided to tell her in person.
Song Luan thought it was something insignificant and didn't take it to heart at all. "Go ahead."
Zhao Nanyu looked at her steadily and said word by word: "The day after tomorrow morning, you will go to Quzhou with me."
His previous sentence referred to discussion, but the tone of this sentence clearly indicated an irresistible decision.
Song Luan was dumbfounded for a long time. What did this have to do with her? No, she refused!
If the plot had not changed, the male protagonist would have been ambushed and seriously injured on the way to Quzhou and was rescued by the female protagonist.
What is she going to do? How unfair it would be if she died at the hands of an assassin! Besides, she didn't really like being with Zhao Nanyu.
Song Luan wanted to shake her head, but seeing the look in Zhao Nanyu's eyes, she dared not refuse. She spoke tactfully, "I have never been far away, and I am afraid of holding you back. You are busy with official duties, and I am afraid that I will delay your work..."
The more she spoke, the lower her voice became, because Zhao Nanyu's smiling look made her feel uneasy.
Song Luan gritted his teeth and continued, "Besides, we are not at home, who will take care of Brother Shi?"
Zhao Nanyu's heart kept sinking, his eyebrows seemed to be covered with a layer of frost and snow, his expression became colder and colder, but the smile in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows became deeper and deeper, which was very creepy to look at.
He reached out and touched her brow, and asked, "Don't you want to?"
Without waiting for her to answer, Zhao Nanyu raised his chin slightly and said forcefully, "You have to go even if you don't want to."
He was also kind enough to remind her to pack her luggage in advance.
Song Luan couldn't resist, so he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet and nodded, "Okay then."
After a long time, she reluctantly walked to the closet and prepared to take out the clothes she would wear in the next few days. She suddenly felt a pain in her heart. This time the pain was sudden and severe. Her slender fingers clasped the closet door tightly, and she could only stand firmly by holding on to the closet.
The pain in her heart came in waves, and the blood color on Song Luan's face faded completely. Her little face was as pale as paper, and her whole body was weak. Her throat felt like it was cut by a knife when she breathed.
She opened her mouth and wanted to call Zhao Nanyu's name, but before she could make a sound, her eyes went dark and she fainted.
In the dim light, she seemed to see the man not far away change his expression and rush towards her.
