Rebirth's Charm

Chapter 84

Ye Xizhao stared at him as he approached him.His face still looked stern, but there was an invisible vicissitudes on his face.

Yu Shaoheng looked at her, was obviously taken aback for a moment, then narrowed his starry eyes slightly, and finally, his expression turned calm, and he strode towards her with great strides.

The person who led the way rushed forward to salute, and then briefly explained how Ye Xizhao came to Mumu Island.

Yu Shaoheng nodded slightly, slowed down his pace, and walked in front of Ye Xizhao.

He didn't speak, and Ye Xizhao didn't speak either. He just looked at him with some eagerness to see if he was safe and sound on the journey, and after he was relieved, he carefully studied his eyes.

For a moment, Ye Xizhao felt that his eyes were carrying too much emotion, but after a blink of an eye, his eyes were clear and clear.

With the presence of outsiders, no matter what his emotions are, he will not show them.

Ye Xizhao smiled, and seeing those people standing by the sea approaching, they were the guards who came here with him, so he took off his veil.

Looking at each other, Yu Shaoheng curled the corners of his lips and smiled softly.

The guards came forward, and when they saw Ye Xizhao, they all seemed happier than Yu Shaoheng, and then went to join the guards who escorted Ye Xizhao, gathered together, and talked about the opponents they met along the way.

Yu Shaoheng tilted his head, and because Ye Xizhao went to the beach and was far away from people, he whispered, "Why bother."

Ye Xizhao pretended he didn't hear it, and looked at him carefully with a smile. Seeing that his clothes were thin, he couldn't help but touch his hand lightly and quickly, feeling that his hand was still warm and dry, and his heart ached. That's what it's good to say about martial arts.

Yu Shaoheng turned slightly sideways, and then let his eyes wander freely on her body.

She became thinner again, her small chin became more and more pointed, her complexion was exhausted by the wind and dust all the way, but her bright eyes became brighter and brighter, with only a touch of joy.

He reached over and tied her cloak a little tighter, sliding his thumb over her cheeks that were chilled by the wind.

Hesitant to speak, he withdrew his hand.

Only then did Ye Xizhao talk to him about what happened before he came, and he focused on the attitude of Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Meng: "Mrs. Tai is most worried about you, and my mother also agrees with my coming."

Yu Shaoheng looked down at the sand and stones under his feet, and it was obvious that he didn't agree with her coming.

Ye Xizhao also stopped talking and let him be dumb.

After a while, two boats came from the direction of Sunset Island. Men and women stood at the bow, and the servants dressed up.

These are the people who stay on the island all year round to take care of the houses there.

When they arrived at the beach, they saluted Yu Shaoheng and Ye Xizhao together.The leader said humanely: "Master Hou, madam, everything you need has been sent to the island, and the villain goes to the island every ten days." Then he turned and pointed to a boat, "Master Hou, madam, please. "

The guards who escorted the two came over quickly, and they all cupped their hands to cherish.

Yu Shaoheng nodded slightly, and then helped Ye Xizhao board the boat.

On the boat, Yu Shaoheng asked Ye Xizhao to rest in the cabin for a while, while he took a topographic map detailing the layout of the island from someone, and watched it carefully under the light before dark.

When it was completely dark, we arrived at Sunset Island.

Ye Xizhao was already drowsy.The spirit relaxes, and the exhaustion from the journey sweeps over the whole body.

In a daze, she was supported by Yu Shaoheng to get off the boat, and waved goodbye to those who sent her off.

The two of them turned around as they watched the ship go further and further away in the endless night.

Yu Shaoheng hugged her into his arms, and said with affection: "Are you tired?"

"It's okay." Ye Xizhao wrapped his arms around his shoulders and neck, rubbed his cheek against his clothes, breathed hard, absorbing the breath that belonged to him alone.

Yu Shaoheng lifted her cheek, kissed her wantonly, slipped his hand into her cloak, and landed on her back, letting her cling to him.

Between the lips and tongues, the lovesickness and concern after the farewell were relieved, and the joy of reuniting after the farewell became real.

Before, the other side of him made her feel strange, and her over-calmness also made him feel strange.

He thought too much, and she ignored it and didn't take it to heart.

Therefore, other people would reunite with great joy, but when they come to them, they will feel a little more alienated and indifferent invisibly.

Until this moment, when his masculine and warm breath enveloped her, and her slender figure trembled slightly in his arms, everything seemed to turn from a dream into a reality.

Yu Shaoheng turned his face away reluctantly, and then picked her up, "Take you to your new home."

Ye Xizhao nodded with a sincere smile.

"Little liar," Yu Shaoheng accused half-truthfully, "Didn't you promise me to wait for me at home?"

Ye Xizhao replied softly: "But I also promised myself to stay with you."

Feeling moved, Yu Shaoheng asked again: "What if I want to lead troops to fight in the future? Do you still want to practice martial arts and join the army?"

"That's different. That's your ambition. Why would I add to the trouble?" Ye Xizhao hooked his neck a little, "At that time, I will be at home waiting for you with peace of mind. It's different now."

Yu Shaoheng responded casually: "Really?"

"Naturally." Ye Xizhao pinched him, "Who do you think I am? I can't live without you?"

"Who do you think I am again?" Yu Shaoheng smiled and asked, "For you and mother, I will spend my days here. Besides, the life here is not as bad as you think. , but it is too difficult for you..."

"I don't want to listen to this. You were dumb before, why are you talking so much now?" Ye Xizhao covered his lips with one hand, "Either take me to my new home, or throw me into the sea to feed the fish, whatever up to you."

Yu Shaoheng laughed, and stopped talking about it.

There is only one residence on the island, and the layout is like the most common two-entry courtyard in the capital.

In the front yard, there are only a few lanterns hanging in the veranda, and the layout is the same as that of ordinary people's outer yards.Here, of course, is the residence of the men who look after the island.

Yu Shaoheng turned around the corridor and entered the courtyard behind.

Ye Xizhao nestled in his arms, and saw red lanterns hung one after another in the verandah of the backyard, only one of the east and west wing rooms had lights, but each room in the main room had lights.

Such an atmosphere is really like a warm home waiting for the owner to come back.

In the hall, Ye Xizhao stood on the ground and saw that the interior furnishings were very simple.But tables and chairs.

Ye Xizhao walked around the room slowly, on the big kang in the east room, there was a brand new scarlet carpet, with a small table on it.The east corner is the bedroom, and the bedding, bed and curtain are also brand new.A door on the west side of the dormitory leads to the side room, where new things for washing and washing are also displayed.

For her, these were unexpected joys.

Turning west again, there is a black lacquered bookshelf on the north side of the west room, with a desk chair in front of it, and five huge boxes on the ground.

Yu Shaoheng was opening it, "It should be sent from the capital."

The two boxes contained the clothes they needed in winter, one box contained some small items that were usually necessary, and the other two boxes that were sealed and locked contained books and files, and another set of pens, inks and papers Inkstone.

"You put these books away, and I'll look elsewhere."

Yu Shaoheng nodded, "Go and rest first."

Ye Xizhao responded, but went to the wing with the light on.Only then did I realize that this was the kitchen, and the two stoves were steaming. I went to check and saw that there was hot food in one pot, and hot water in the other.

When I first arrived here, there were many small surprises.Ye Xizhao understood that this was the emperor's favor.But it can only stop here, and everything in the future will be taken care of by her and him.

When setting the meal, she noticed that the room was warm, and there was a charcoal basin on the ground.After calling Yu Shaoheng to eat, he ran to the dormitory and touched the fire wall, it was very hot.

From tomorrow onwards, these are the things she has to learn to do, otherwise, this winter, she will only have to suffer from the cold.

When eating together, Ye Xizhao thought of Xiao Xun and asked, "He said he would come to the island to meet you, have you seen him?"

"Not yet, probably not yet." Yu Shaoheng smiled, "Even if he has arrived in Mobei, he should go to the General Military Mansion to plead guilty."

Ye Xizhao felt for no reason that apart from Qiao Chen, there was no one in the Qiao family who was soft-tempered, and Xiao Xun was afraid that he would suffer a lot.The problem is that after suffering, he may not be able to fulfill his wish - he is no longer the high-spirited commander of the dark guards, even if Qiao's family intends to fulfill him, they will inevitably worry that Qiao An will not be safe and prosperous after following him available.

Afterwards, Ye Xizhao asked again: "Can he try to come to the island to meet you?"

"Yes. It's not difficult to avoid the eyeliner of Prince Jing and Prince Chengyuan."

"That's okay." Ye Xizhao was very happy that he could see his best friend from time to time.

"I told you earlier that my life here is not as bad as you think."

Ye Xizhao didn't answer.The two finished their meal in a hurry and started to go about their own business.

She went to wash the dishes, and then put the clothes and trivial objects away one by one. Finally, she boiled a large pot of hot water and asked Yu Shaoheng to help carry it to the ear room and pour it into the bathtub.

Only then did I realize that these trivial things that I was used to being served by others before were so strenuous.

Yu Shaoheng was silently doing things that were difficult for her, his star pupils gradually became dull and lost their brilliance.

Ye Xizhao had no time to take into account his emotional changes, so when he was taking a bath, he went to make the bed and found out their pajamas.

After she also took a bath and rested, it was already late at night.

Yu Shaoheng took her into his arms, put one hand to her lips and kissed her, "Your hands are used for writing, writing, painting and playing the piano. No matter how bad they are, they are also for housekeeping and settlement of accounts."

"So?" Ye Xizhao looked at him.

"When Xiao Xun comes, I will ask him to send you to Qiao An's house. I will try my best to report this to the emperor. After recuperating at Qiao's house for a period of time, if you go back to the capital, if you get hurt in the Hou's mansion, Go back to your mother’s house to live.”

Ye Xizhao withdrew his hand, turned his back to him, "I'm tired, I'm going to sleep." She didn't like how a big man like him behaved, and it was the same out of caring and pity for her, she didn't like it.

His body was embraced by him, Ye Xizhao stiffened his body and closed his eyes out of anger.

She really wanted to be angry and confront him in silence, but she was so tired that she fell into a deep sleep not long after.

When he woke up, it was almost noon, Yu Shaoheng had already got up, and his pillow was empty.

Ye Xizhao went to freshen up in a hurry, his long hair was tied up in the simplest hairstyle, his face turned to the sky, and then he changed into a water red jacket and a pea green cotton skirt.

I walked around the front and back yards, but I didn't see Yu Shaoheng. I guess he was wandering around the island and was familiar with the terrain here.

She went back to the backyard kitchen and started to prepare the lunch meal.

There are a lot of vegetables on display in the kitchen. The innermost window of the west wing room is open, and there is no trace of heat. It is chilly. The dishes that need to be stored at low temperature are placed, and the only meat is bacon.

Today is not what it used to be, and it is not easy to have these.She is well aware of this.After making four dishes and one soup with all my heart, Yu Shaoheng hasn't come back yet.

Ye Xizhao was thinking about what to eat at night, the dishes were limited, and the only staple food he needed was rice noodles.Considering that it was winter, I started to make steamed bun rolls again, and it would be good to reheat them in the pot at night.

It is easy to make these if you are used to delicate pastries.After steaming in the pot, count the time to add more firewood, and burn the fire to the hottest.When it was time to cook, she caught a glimpse of Yu Shaoheng's figure when he entered the door.

I have to remember what he said last night.

Because of this, she was dazed when she picked up the lid of the pot, forgetting to guard against the scorching heat of the pot.

It was only when the heat wave hit that she realized her negligence, she hurriedly turned around, but raised her free hand stupidly, an instinctive but completely unnecessary move to shield the danger.

Her hands were so painful from the burn, she hurriedly dropped the things at hand, ran to the side, and soaked her hands in cold water.

Yu Shaoheng approached, took her hand out of the water, and narrowed his eyes to check.

Her palms were flushed.

Yu Shaoheng looked at her again, his eyes filled with pain.

Ye Xizhao saw it clearly, and didn't know what to say to relieve his emotions for a while, so he could only endure the burning pain in his hand, and smiled as hard as he could, "It's okay, this happens often." Then he pulled back gently He hid his hand behind his back, "Wait a minute, the food is already ready."

"Xi Zhao," Yu Shaoheng stared at her, unable to hide the growing pain in his eyes, because he could no longer hide it, "I married you because I want you to live comfortably, not because I want you to be wronged to do these things. "

Ye Xizhao had to face it, thought for a while, and said softly: "I follow you, not for superficial security, but for inner security."

"What you should do now is to listen to me, go home and live as usual instead of working hard for me."

"What do you mean?" Ye Xizhao looked at him in surprise, "Why did you marry me? As long as I always look at you from afar, I want you to be a tree that protects me at all times." Dashu, I just need to enjoy everything you brought me, that's all, right?"

Yu Shaoheng hesitated for a moment, then put his hand on her shoulder, "Can I beg you? Even if you go to Qiao An's house, don't stay here."

"Who wants you to beg me!" Ye Xizhao opened his hand and took two steps back, "If you only treat me as a decoration by your side, why would you work so hard to marry me in and draw me a picture of someone who looks at you every day?" Why not? The portrait won't be as disobedient as I am, and won't be as self-defeating as I am!"

Her tears fell without warning, "Yu Shaoheng, what kind of place is this? Let me tell you, I'd rather you kill the enemy and get wounded, and I'd rather you be imprisoned than come to this kind of place. Not even a companion There are no people, how do you live in that kind of life? Indeed, you are amazing, you can bear any hardship, but I can’t, I feel like a knife hurts when I think about it. Indeed, you have plans long ago, but I don’t have your confidence , I'm afraid of changes. I'm afraid that after I leave you this time, I'll never see you again. I can't wait, and I'm really useless. Even if you drive me away, I'll stay here and refuse Let's go, I'm going to stay here..."

At the end of the conversation, all the negative emotions accumulated in her heart these days surged and turned into crystal tears. Her face was full of tears, crying silently, and she kept wiping her tears with her hands, as if she had been hurt. A very wronged but willful and stubborn child.

Yu Shaoheng stepped forward and hugged her tightly. Before he could speak out, his throat choked up, "I won't go, I won't let you go. Don't cry."

Ye Xizhao put his hand on his chest, and said in a nasal voice: "Everyone knows that you like me, but what is your like? Did you leave me aside when something happened and refused to let me accompany you? "

"I," Yu Shaoheng hesitated for a moment, "I am also afraid that there will be changes. I am afraid that if you come here, you will spend the rest of your life here with me. Since then, your life will be ruined in my hands."

Ye Xizhao sniffed, raised his tearful eyes, and saw the unprecedented fragility in his eyes.She stood on her tiptoes and hugged him vigorously, "I'm not afraid, and neither are you. As long as we're together, it's fine." After a moment of hesitation, she cried again, "I have a period of time, just to make up for you Hello. But now, like you, I am willing to spend my life with you no matter what. Why don't you believe it. "
