Since Chen Yue confessed to her that Xiangsi had committed suicide, was reborn as a new identity, and went to Zhu Jingyu, she has never asked any more questions.
First, she believed in Chen Yue. Since he said that, she would definitely not lie to her. Second, as he said, it was Xiangsi's own choice and they had no right to interfere. Third, no matter what Xiangsi wanted to do, she obviously couldn't care too much. In fact, she was also selfish in her bones and did not want to have any more involvement with Gu Huan's past, including Xiangsi and Zhu Jingyu, whom she defected to.
While thinking, when Ye Xinyi saw the bowl of sour plum soup, he called the guy and packed a few portions of sugar water, thinking of taking it back for Chen Yue and Taohong and the others to taste it.
The guy was naturally very happy and quickly prepared the sugar water for them, put it in a food basket, and sent them out diligently.
An accidental encounter should have disappeared invisibly with this bowl of sugar water, but whether it was Zhu Jingyu or Ye Xinyi, it could not help but leave a trace in his heart.
Zhu Jingyu took his horse and only had a trusted guard, carrying the food box brought from Nie Ji. Without as expected by Ye Xinyi, he did not return to Prince Ning's Mansion, but went to an alley east of the city.
The alley is very elegant. A osmanthus tree is planted at the entrance of the alley, and it is called Osmanthus Hutong. I don’t know if it is to make this name more appropriate, all the osmanthus trees are planted in the few houses in the alley. The tree has lush branches, so it stretches out the courtyard wall and connects the two sides, which actually covers the entire alley. When the flowering period is time, the fragrance can be imagined.
Most of the houses in this alley are private houses of wealthy businessmen's houses, and they are very quiet all day long.
Zhu Jingyu strangled his horse in front of a door at the end of the alley. The confidant behind him had already stepped forward and knocked on the gate of the courtyard. The door creaked and opened a crack, revealing his eyes from it. Seeing that it was them, he opened the gate of the courtyard and let the two in.
Although the yard is not very big, the flowers and trees inside are lush, rockery flowing water, and landscapes are everywhere.
By the water, there was an open pavilion, which was lit with ice chips and placed with frozen fruits and vegetables. A graceful figure in a gauze was sitting at the table, eating the bowl of almond tea with doubled honey and more honey. She ate very sweetly. Seeing that the bowl of almond tea was only half left, she raised her head and looked at the opposite side with a strange look.
The man sitting opposite the stone table had a wide-sleeved blue shirt, a wooden hairpin tied with hair, and a crow-green hair tied half-tied on his shoulders. At first glance, he showed a broad-minded and elegant style of famous scholars in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, which was Zhu Jingyu.
"What's wrong with you today? Since you are unhappy, why bother to come and mess with me?" This gauze woman is exactly Qi Nian's beauty. Although she is no longer a beauty of 28 years, she can be half-covered with her snowy skin, her waist is slender, her chest is bulging, and her face is even more beautiful. She looks very beautiful, but Emei is faintly swept, but her eyebrows and eyes are full of charm, with red lips half-hooked, full of charm.
But the beauty was obviously in a bad mood. The good mood that came from the bowl of almond tea just now disappeared in an instant when she met the gloomy face opposite her, which seemed to be more worried. She opened her mouth and hummed, and her tone was even more beautiful.
It’s not that Zhu Jingyu is just a very talkative person on weekdays, but his face is as gentle as the warm smile engraved on it has almost never disappeared. He always speaks softly, never like this today. After coming, he brought her the bowl of almond tea, and sat next to her, frowned and thought about his own thoughts, as if she was not the same person.
You know, since she decided to make good use of the good looks given to her by God, when hasn’t she been held and carried by others? How could she have received such cold treatment?
There is also a cold-hearted person who can let her bear it, but why?
Zhu Jingyu woke up, but was not angry at the obvious anger of the beauty opposite, or was anxious to explain. He still looked faint, lowered his eyelashes and tasted the sour plum soup in the bowl, "This sugar water from Nie Ji is like the same as in memory, and your taste has never changed."
The beauty opposite is not someone else, but lovesickness. He snorted softly, "Your has changed a lot. But is this change meant to lie to yourself, or can it really reduce the guilt in your heart by two points and make yourself feel better?"
Zhu Jingyu opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but perhaps the attitude of Xiangsi changed his mind. He said that he turned a corner and swallowed it again. Instead, he drank the remaining sour plum soup in the bowl without saying a word, and then stood up.
He was leaving, but it was no different from before. He came and never stayed for long. She could not have any good looks on him. There were some things and some people she could not forget. Therefore, she could only remind him from time to time to make him unhappy.
In fact, looking at her might have made him feel uncomfortable. Therefore, every time he sees her, he never stays for long, and he leaves in a hurry.
This time, there is no difference.
They can still stay together because their purposes overlap, that's all.
Xiangsi snorted, neither getting up to see her off, nor saying a word. She lowered her head and continued to drink her almond tea seriously.
"By the way." This time, Zhu Jingyu stopped after taking two steps, "Shen Yue will set off south to Bashu the next day. Are you sure you won't send him a trip?"
Lovesickness did not look back or respond.
Zhu Jingyu nodded, "Forget it, let it go!" After saying that, he coldly withdrew his gaze and walked away.
The spoon in Acacia's hand was in the air for a long time. The almond tea she liked most in her usual favorite suddenly seemed to lose its sweetness. She threw down the spoon and the surface was already solid.
Zhu Jingyu strided out of the yard, but suddenly stopped at the door of the yard. He looked up at the dense branches and leaves of osmanthus trees on the top. The surging love in his heart gradually calmed down. It was because he was thinking too much. What could it have to do with the same hobby? No matter how rare that habit is, it doesn’t mean that others don’t have it. What can it mean?
Of course, he could not stop in front of the road he was about to walk.
In Yuanming Street, Ye Xinyi was also looking up at the sky. The sky was covered with clouds, but in a moment, there was no sign of the clear sky just now and the sun was shining brightly. It would be a heavy rain in a moment.
It is naturally a good thing for the capital city, which has been drought for a long time, but it may not be good for them who are on the way.
From then on, Shen Yue gently hugged her shoulders and looked up at the sky with her, "Don't worry! If it's hard to walk on the road, let's leave the capital and slow down."
Ye Xinyi nodded, but his eyebrows were still frowning and did not stretch.
Shen Yue sighed, "We are humans, not gods. We can't take care of many things. Besides, everyone is responsible for their choices, and no one can replace them. What do you think?"
There is naturally a deep meaning in this sentence. When Ye Xinyi came back, he told Chen Yue about meeting Zhu Jingyu in Nie Ji. Of course, he hid some of the things in it. However, all of this was enough to let Chen Yue understand Ye Xinyi's concerns. Although in Shen Yue's opinion, her concern for lovesickness was too much and there was no reason. She had been thinking for a long time, but there was no trace to it. She had to temporarily attribute it to lovesickness that had fallen in her fate, so he could only be so generous to Ye Xinyi's heart.
Even though, it sounds like he is a little cold-blooded, but that's the truth. He has advised her about lovesickness. He has taken care of her for many years, but for Gu Huan's sake, as for the other things she insisted on, he can't help it, and it can't help each other and he has to stay away from it.
Ye Xinyi sighed and snuggled into his arms. She could not be completely relieved about Xiangsi, but what could she do? Even if she told Xiangsi that she was Gu Huan, would Xiangsi believe it? She might even think that she had ulterior motives.
Just as Chen Yue said, she had already developed obsession, unless she could see through it herself, what could others do?
The two hugged each other in the corridor, silent for a long time, both of them were speechless.
