Hesitated, and after looking at the shopkeeper who was frightened by these strange conversations, hesitated again, looked at Chu Ci, who looked sincere, and finally nodded slowly.

Chu Ci breathed a sigh of relief as if he was relieved and nodded to the shopkeeper to indicate that he could step down.

After the frightened shopkeeper left yawning, Chu Ci and Rong Hua sat down at the same time.

Rong Hua didn't say anything. After sitting down, he began to stare at the two jars of bamboo leaves on the table.

Chu Ci looked at the veil that wrapped his head tightly, and couldn't help but persuade, "Brother Rong, since we are here to drink, can you take off the veil? It's so boring to look like this!"

"No." Rong Hua shook his head.

"What's not?" Chu Ci didn't react.

"It's not 'we', it's me." Rong Hua said seriously, and was stunned when he saw Chu Ci, thinking she didn't understand, and explained patiently, "This is what you bribed me, it's mine."

"..." I understood that you didn't have to say so in detail and so straightforward! For the first time, Chu Ci felt speechless to someone other than Cang Lingyue, and said weakly, "Okay, it's true that I bribed you, no, I'd better give it to you. This sounds better, it's true that I gave you it to you, but I'm not in a good mood now. Can you generously share me with a jar?"

After hearing this, Rong Hua thought about it very seriously. After thinking about it, he asked in confusion: "Why do you have to drink if you are in a bad mood? Why do you have to drink if you are in a bad mood? Why do you have to drink if you are in a bad mood and drink my wine?"

"... Could this be the longest sentence you have ever said so far?" Chu Ci asked blankly.

Unexpectedly, Rong Hua nodded, "Yes."

"Okay, you won!" Chu Ci took a deep breath, suppressed the impatient feeling in his heart, and said patiently, "Come one by one! I am in a bad mood because I am in a bad mood because I want to drink alcohol because I feel good when I use alcohol to relieve my sorrow. As for drinking your wine... I will give it to you at least, so I won't be so stingy, right?"

"Ah..." Rong Hua pondered, and then asked slowly, "Who is it because? Why is it so good to drink to relieve your sorrow?"

"... Choose one, I will only answer you one question, for your help!" Chu Ci's villain was going crazy. Why did she suddenly feel that Rong Hua was even more difficult than Cang Lingyue?

"Okay." Rong Hua actually thought about it seriously, and then chose a question that Chu Ci didn't want to answer, "Because who?"

"...I thank you for caring so much about my private life." Chu Ci put on his forehead and regretted that he would answer his question.

She wanted to find an excuse to refuse, but looked up at his only eyes exposed outside the veil, flashing with a little confused, a little serious, and waiting. She looked at such eyes with pure eyes and couldn't even say anything to refuse!

Then... tell him? Chu Ci was a little shaken. After these few passages he talked to Rong Hua, she could roughly feel that Rong Hua seemed to have a problem with him. He was not pretending, but he was really different from ordinary people.

It’s not that he is so stupid, but that he is too slow, too dull and too serious.

It's a bit like a child with an immature mind, sticking to his own views with a little innocence and living in his own world.

So, when facing such a child's character, tell him, it should be fine, right? Besides, she has been holding this matter in her heart for a long time, and she also wants to tell her that person to make her feel better.

However, the only hesitation left in Chu Ci's heart is that Ronghua seems to be Cang Lingyue's person? If he accidentally tells her secret to Cang Lingyue, or is accidentally asked by Cang Lingyue, the consequences may be unimaginable!

Thinking of this, Chu Ci looked at Rong Hua's glasses waiting quietly and asked seriously: "Can you promise like me that you will keep the secret for me no matter what. No matter who asks you, you won't tell me?"

"Yes." Rong Hua nodded without thinking. After saying that, he probably felt that the word "light" was not credible, and he carefully added two words, "Take your life."

"Puff" Chu Ci couldn't help laughing and said with a chuckle, "You, don't take everything so seriously, and you're not afraid that I will lie to you!"

"It shouldn't be." Rong Hua shook his head, looked at Chu Ci with the pure eyes, and repeated it as if he was stressed, "No."

"..." Chu Ci stopped smiling and did not continue. She silently poured the best bamboo leaves that she brought to them. In the mist of bamboo fragrance, she finally began to slowly tell the secret hidden in her heart.

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that I seem to fall in love with someone." She smiled, and she couldn't believe it. "You don't know, I, from the previous life, have the chance to tell you that I didn't believe in feelings since I was in the previous life, and of course I haven't loved anyone, no, maybe I loved a younger brother, but it's a pity that I was hurt by him later!" She smiled again, with a little self-deprecating, "But the feeling at that time was different from what I am now."

"I... I never thought that one day I would like someone, let alone that I should be damned by this person...brother!" Finally, she told the identity of the person who was hidden in her heart. She breathed abruptly, and then let out a deep breath, "Hu finally said it out. By the way, he gave me the wine we drank. He was very good, right?" She smiled at Rong Hua with a glass of wine, smiling like a child, but her eyes were full of loneliness.

"I don't know what's going on. But I've never met someone so gentle and so kind to me! In my previous life, Chu Yun was very nice to me, but later she tried her best to kill me; Chu Lu was very gentle to me, but later it was him who killed me. Although he seemed to really not want me to die, I was still killed by him, right?" Because Rong Hua couldn't understand what she said, Chu Ci simply opened up and told all the secrets he had been alone for so many years.

"I have never met such a person. What a good person. I am perfect like a god. I am so perfect that I am ashamed of such a person who is not good enough! Then, when did the servant start to rely on him, and when did he start to deteriorate and become a love?"

"I don't know, I don't know what he was thinking wrong." Chu Ci was almost finished drinking a whole jar of wine without realizing it, and his speech was a little confused. "No, I know what he was thinking... He was escaping, I could feel..."

She raised her head, drank her last glass of wine, and murmured to herself: "Since you know, do you want to tell him without fear of death and ask him... No, I'm afraid..."

At the end, she was drunk and fell powerlessly on the table, her beautiful water pupils were also closed tightly, as if she didn't want to wake up.

"..." Rong Hua looked at her silently. He kept listening to her, slowly drinking his jar of bamboo leaves, without saying a word.

Seeing her drunk on the table, still muttering silently, he didn't move, but just slowly finished his last glass of wine.

Then he stood up, walked over, stood behind her and looked for a while, and finally made up his mind, bent down, picked her up effortlessly, and held her head and found a comfortable position in his arms, then hugged her and walked steadily outside.

When she walked out of the tavern, a slight cool breeze blew over. She trembled slightly in a daze, then subconsciously arched into his arms, finding a warmer corner to bury her head in.

He freed up one hand to gently press her restless little head, thought for a while, and said comfortably: "Don't move." After saying that, he felt that it seemed inappropriate, so he changed his words, "Don't be afraid."

She stopped moving.

He looked down at her, his eyes flashed with a little confusion and some unintelligible emotions. After looking at it, he suddenly opened his mouth and said seriously: "Don't be afraid. I will protect you. Well."

"Little sister."

A familiar and gentle voice sounded in my ears. Chu Ci opened his eyes and saw Gu Shengge standing in front of him only a few steps away.

This is... dream? Chu Ci noticed something was wrong, but even though he realized that she was in a dream now and looked at the man standing not far away, he felt as if he was right in front of him.

"..." She opened her mouth and called his name, but couldn't make a sound, and wanted to walk to him, but she raised her legs but couldn't take a step.

Chu Ci was very anxious, but he stood there like a puppet and couldn't move. He could only look at Gu Shengge with anticipation and eagerness, hoping that he could come to her side.

But the man in white pear blossom robe stood there, motionless. Although they were only a few steps away, his indifferent figure pulled away the only steps, making him look so out of reach.

Only then did I confirm that it was really a dream.

"Little sister..." Gu Shengge called her softly, his voice was gentle and with a strong sense of helplessness. He seemed to want to go over to find her, but he never took action.

Chu Ci was anxious and felt a little sore in his nose. He tried his best to call him, but suddenly another person appeared in front of him, blocking her view of Gu Shengge.

"Chu Ci." The visitor stood with his hands behind his back. The purple brocade robe wrapped around his slender figure, his eyebrows and eyes were enchanting, and a light pink at the corners of his eyes were as bright as peach blossoms. He smiled, as if the flowers were blooming in an instant, "It's really good that you have to do with my left!"

A familiar sarcastic tone sounded in her ears, and the person who appeared in front of her happened to block Chu Ci and Gu Shengge. She couldn't help but shout angrily: "Cang Lingyue!"
