Escape: I rely on the food exchange system to survive to the extreme

Chapter 268 Confused
Mei Qian felt that she probably dreamed about something during the day.

Otherwise, why would she see Qi Chen out of the blue?

Well, I closed my eyes and opened them again. The face reflected by the candlelight beside my bed was still Qi Chen.

Thinking of the ambiguous words Qi Fei had said before, hinting at Qi Chen's affairs with her, Mei Qian couldn't help but mutter:
"I am an honest worker...what kind of erotic dream is this..."

"You what?"

After traveling for several days, Qi Chen was somewhat exhausted. He just mustered up the last bit of energy and planned to take a look at Mei Qian before going to rest. However, he didn't expect Mei Qian to wake up. She stared at his face for a while before speaking.

He just said something she didn't understand.

It’s just that he couldn’t hear clearly what Mei Qian said.

"Ok?"

Can the person in this dream still have subjective initiative and speak on his own initiative?
Mei Qian opened her eyes and took another look. In this "dream", Qi Chen looked thinner than in reality, and had a little beard. Hmm, his clothes were weird, and seemed to be the clothes of the Imperial City Bureau.

"And bring uniform play?"

Obviously, what Mei Qian said was still something Qi Chen couldn't understand.

"Mei Qian, are you out of your mind?"

Mei Qian:? ?

With a "pa" sound, Mei Qian hit Qi Chen's hand hard when he stretched it out to touch her forehead.

"Why are you so unpleasant in my dreams? You even touched me so hard that my hands hurt... huh?"

As we all know, there is no pain in dreams.

Mei Qian raised her hand and looked at her palm, then turned her head to look at Qi Chen who was sitting beside her bed. Her eyes gradually became clear from confusion, and before Mei Qian could call out, Qi Chen bent down and covered Mei Qian's mouth.

Mei Qian: 0_0! !
Qi Chen: "Sh ...

Before he could finish his sigh, he saw Mei Qian reaching out to take out the dagger from under the pillow from the corner of his eye. He immediately dodged, and Mei Qian immediately sat up, holding the dagger in his hand, with a serious and earnest look on his face, he looked Qi Chen up and down again.

"My Lord. Is it really you?"

After realizing that Mei Qian's attack on her was not "fake", she was even more speechless.

"Why are you in my room so late at night?"

After asking this question, Mei Qian suddenly felt that it was extremely unethical, but Qi Chen's appearance here did go against her perception.

It's really strange that this person didn't spend the New Year in Beijing, but appeared in the northwest wearing the clothes of the Imperial City.

"Because I received news that you were kidnapped."

Mei Qian's question was very silly and straightforward. Qi Chen was standing not far from Mei Qian's bed and his answer was equally straightforward.

The dim candlelight illuminated the other person's face. Mei Qian's heart skipped a beat as she looked into his deep eyes. However, she did not dare to think too much about it. She only spoke dryly and politely to express her gratitude.

She overheard these words when she and Qi Chen used the flower dew to save the hardworking official during the epidemic in the capital, and when the official came to the palace to thank Qi Chen.

A group of people who are sour on their teeth.

Now she said such sour words.

As expected, do people end up becoming the person they hate the most?

"I killed two horses along the way."

Without responding to Mei Qian's words of gratitude, Qi Chen stared at Mei Qian and said this.

Mei Qian opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Then, she heard Qi Chen say, "My original plan was not to leave the capital in the short term."

Mei Qian: "..." "But as you can see, I am here. Do you think I should be here?"

You suddenly asked Mei Qian to answer this question out of the blue. Mei Qian met Qi Chen's gaze and her heartbeat inexplicably quickened.

But the rational mind also made her understand that she could not answer this question casually.

Whether it should be done or not, no matter what, the prerequisite should not be to do it for her.

"Your Highness came here suddenly, probably because he has his own ideas."

When Qi Chen heard Mei Qian say this, he lowered his eyes as if trying to avoid her. Qi Chen then took a step forward and stood in front of the bed, his eyes still fixed on Mei Qian.

"What if I say that my thoughts are about you?"

Faced with such an answer, Mei Qian was at a loss.

Why would this person say such a thing?

Isn't he afraid of other people's opinions of him?
No, even if we take a step back, Mei Qian still cares about what others think of her.

“As the King of Yongning, I should be in the capital and take charge of everything.

Whether it is the complete counterattack that will begin after the New Year, or the enthronement in the summer, or the southward march in the fall or winter if possible, I should sit firmly in the temple and act like a wise princess. "

Seeing that Mei Qian had been silent, Qi Chen began to speak his true feelings.

"But as Qi Chen, as Li Baizhou, I don't want to, and I can't bear to hear that something happened to you. I can't remain indifferent."

"So, you chose to give up your identity as King Yongning, gave up your responsibilities as King Yongning and came to me, right?"

Mei Qian sighed softly. It would be a lie to say that she was not moved by Qi Chen's behavior, but she couldn't give up other considerations just because she was moved.

"No one knows I'm here. I haven't given up my responsibility as Prince Yongning. I'm just a commander of the Imperial City Division who came to deliver a message. I'm here to check on you for His Royal Highness Prince Yongning."

This time he really wanted to come quietly and just take a look.

But Mei Qian woke up, and then their conversation inexplicably got out of control.

He expressed his feelings in one go, but what he saw on Mei Qian's face was surprise, not disgust, but not even joy.

Even Mei Qian was distracted in front of him, as if what he had just said was nothing.

"My Lord, you...are you trying to say that you like me?"

After a long while, Mei Qian asked this question unconfidently.

Qi Chen was choked. He could admit this readily, but wasn't it too slow for Mei Qian to react to his previous expressions?
"Yes, I like you."

"What do you like about me?" Mei Qian didn't think her personality was the kind that men would like.

In other words, she did not conform to the aesthetic standards of women in that era. Whether in terms of appearance or personality, she was not a "good match" after all.

"I don't know either..." The answer seemed reasonable, but Mei Qian was confused.

The so-called "you don't need a reason to like someone" actually happened to her?
Just when Mei Qian was confused, Qi Chen said:
“Some people or things, because we don’t know when we will meet again, the memories of the past will become so precious and beautiful every time we think of them because of separation.

However, when we met again, I found that those memories were nothing but a dream, fragile and vulnerable, and everything in front of me is the supreme treasure that I should cherish. "

Mei Qian has a bit of an ostrich mentality, she knows it, but she doesn't want to admit it.

Qi Chen also saw it, so he "fired hard" and Mei Qian should gradually come to his senses~
But this enlightenment does not mean that the two of them can only be enlightened by being sticky with each other...

People still have to do serious work~

I went to the hospital and good news, it wasn't eczema.

Bad news: Maybe he was bitten by some poisonous insect. (It bit all the way from his face to his thigh...)
The bites were really fierce. The temperature on each bite was scary. I underwent anti-inflammatory and acupuncture detoxification treatments. The process was so painful and uncomfortable.

When I got home, I started using mosquito coils and insecticides to repel insects.

I have disinfected and washed all the pillows and quilts on the bed. I hope this won’t happen again. I’m so bald.
