Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 679: Tension

Less than an hour after Tie Hongyan left Tiecangting, someone informed Wu Xunsheng that Jian Rou would meet him in half an hour, and asked him to bring the necessary things with him. Wu Xunsheng knew that the things that person was referring to were letters.

Wu Xunsheng went to the woods again as Jian Rou requested, a little earlier than the agreed time. He thought he had come early enough, but unexpectedly Jian Rou was already standing there.

This time, Jian Rou wore her usual clothes, and she felt very comfortable. Wu Xunsheng's attention was not on her clothes. He was a little worried that the next thing would be difficult to handle, but he knew that worrying was useless, so he calmed himself down and calmly dealt with what might happen.

When the two were still some distance apart, Wu Xunsheng greeted her out of courtesy: "Jian Yue..."

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Jian Rou gestured to him to stop and said to him, "Stop!"

Wu Xunsheng stopped immediately and looked at Jian Rou expressionlessly.

Jian Rou suddenly felt that she had not been gentle enough just now, so she prepared to walk closer to him and explain to him later.

She lowered her head slightly, took three steps slowly towards Wu Xunsheng, suddenly stopped, turned her back to Wu Xunsheng, stood still, gently covered her face with her hands, for a moment, then slowly turned around, still lowered her head slightly, covering her face, and slowly walked towards Wu Xunsheng, gradually putting down her hands covering her face.

When she walked in front of Wu Xunsheng, Jian Rou still lowered her head slightly, not looking into Wu Xunsheng's eyes, and said in a particularly soft voice: "I'm sorry, I..." This time she only said half of the words.

Wu Xunsheng didn't know what she wanted, so he didn't say anything and waited for her to finish.

"I...what I did just now...you...you won't be angry with me, right?" Jian Rou still didn't look up at him.

Wu Xunsheng heard her ask this question out of nowhere, so he immediately asked, "Why did Jian Yueyang say that?"

Jian Rou said in a gentle voice: "When I saw you just now, I interrupted you so abruptly before you finished greeting me. It was because I... I was really nervous... I didn't mean to interrupt you like that... You... won't be angry with me, right?" Wu Xunsheng still had no expression, but just said politely: "So this is what Jian Yueyang said, of course I can't be angry."

Jian Rou slowly raised her head, smiled, looked into his eyes and said, "Yeah, that's right. You are tolerant of others, so how could you be angry with me because of my rudeness caused by momentary nervousness? If I ask you that, will you think that I underestimate your tolerance?"

"Neither do I." Wu Xunsheng replied.

Jian Rou said shyly, "That's good. But...but I'm still so nervous...really nervous."

Wu Xunsheng looked at her and said nothing.

Jian Rou said: "Why don't you speak?"

Wu Xunsheng continued: "I'm listening to Jian Yueyang."

Jian Rou frowned slightly and said, "I've already said it. I'm so nervous... You're not saying anything. Are you nervous when you see me too?"

Wu Xunsheng didn't know how to answer, so he just asked, "Why are you nervous?"

Jian Rou stammered, "Because... because today we... oh, no, I will be getting the letter back from you soon... well, I am nervous, but you may not be nervous."
