female catcher

Chapter 184

Xia Chu's question made Liu Qi's heart tremble, and he also took a peek at her, then quickly looked away, "What do you mean? That's what it means."

"What..., what do you mean?"

"What else could it mean." Liu Qi wiped his nose, and said in a firm tone: "Just don't disappoint your kindness to you! Oh, I mean, don't disappoint your adult's trust in you, and there is help. "

"Is that so..."

"Of course! There must be no other meaning. Brother Xia, don't misunderstand me. I don't read much, and I can speak casually." Liu Qi said loudly, then lowered his head and picked up the copper pot at his feet, shaking it, and said with a smile: "Hey! Look, the hot water is gone! I'm going to boil the water, boil the water!" After speaking, he jumped up and ran away.

Xia Chu looked suspiciously at Liu Qi's back, feeling a little weird, but then wondered if it was still the problem of cognitive impairment.Liu Qi speaks so convincingly, but he still has to disassemble some deep meaning from it?Does it have to be said that Jiang Xiyuan has other meanings for him to be satisfied?

It's not good for Xia Chu to ask any more questions. If you ask too many questions, it seems that you have ulterior motives, but the suspicion in your heart has not diminished, and the tangled knot has become tighter and tighter.

She sighed, raised her arm to look at her wound, the blood scab was purple and black, it looked a bit hideous.Perhaps the medicine powder was good, but there was really no sign of infection, it was a blessing.

Xia Chu looked at it for a while and suddenly felt that something was missing. After careful consideration, he realized that the rope tied around his wrist was missing.Her heart tightened for a moment, she stood up and wanted to look for it, but after thinking about it for a moment, she lowered her eyes and smiled shyly, and gave up again.

It's not over yet, so why not let it go.

Uncle Fu is gone, Yue Xiaohong is dead, and now the rope is also lost.There is still the pot of medicine left in the house, and if it dries up or breaks down in a few days, it will not exist; those who believe that painting, no matter how carefully preserved, will sooner or later turn into yellowed old paper, and the writing and painting are just nothing. It is the past that can never go back.

She remembered that one of her college sisters once told her that she had lost her mailbox password, and when she wanted to retrieve it, she looked at the questions she had set back then, but she couldn't answer any of them.

What is your aspiration?What is your favorite person's name?
At that time, Chu Xia was overjoyed, but the senior sister didn't laugh, "You are still young in Chu Xia, so you don't understand this kind of sadness."

Thinking of the sigh at the end of the college sister's words, Xia Chu also sighed now.Sooner or later, I will be like this too, right?Memory fades with the passing things, mood thins with the passage of time, and finally, nothing.

I don't know where Mr. Huang is now, has he heard about her, and what will he think when he hears about her?Will he believe the rumors, or believe her?For a moment, she secretly hoped that he could come and have a look at her, or even ask Xiaoliang to ask a question.

Unfortunately not.He said goodbye really thoroughly, maybe he really went to the western border to do business, the journey is far away, and there will be no future.Xia Chu stared at his empty wrists for a moment, then gently rolled down his sleeves.

After Liu Qi boiled the water, he helped Xia Chu reapply the medicine, covered the wound with thin silk, and left in a hurry, afraid that Xia Chu would ask him something again.

After eating some food sent by Liu Qi, Xia Chu wondered if he should go out to find Wang Huai, and confront him face to face to clarify.There is a wronged person and a debtor, so he can take revenge, but it is really unforgivable to involve the innocent Jiang Xiyuan in such a low-handed way.

But it is useless to think about it.What can she say when she finds Wang Huai?She did nothing wrong, she was justified, but she was justified in front of the government office yesterday, so what happened?It's not getting darker and darker.Reasoning with gangsters will not lead to any good results, the matter is already like this, she can no longer act recklessly to cause trouble for Jiang Xiyuan.

What's more, when she thought of the prying eyes, whispers and acerbic laughter of strangers, she felt her scalp go numb and she didn't have the courage to go out.

What are we going to do in the days ahead?Jiang Xiyuan's side is hard to protect himself, and it's uncertain whether he can go back to the government office, and it's even more so on her side.Without Jiang Xiyuan's government office, she might not be able to stay any longer, and no matter how possible, she might not even be able to stay in Xijing.

The passion and ambition when he entered the government office at the beginning have all turned into melancholy at this moment.She threw herself on the bed, gradually feeling drowsy, and fell into a deep sleep.

When half dreaming and half awake, Xia Chu felt as if there was someone next to her. At first she thought she was dreaming, but the sense of existence was still lingering, and finally pushed her out of sleep.

The room was very dark, and it was already evening by the light. The room was filled with a light tea fragrance, which smelled very comfortable.Xia Chu turned around muttering, and suddenly heard a voice in the room saying: "Are you awake?"

Xia Chu suddenly opened his eyes and sat up. He got up too fast and knocked his head on the head of the bed with a crisp sound.She rubbed her head, gasped and said in surprise: "My lord, why are you here?! You came out of the ancestral hall? When did you come? How did you get in?"

Jiang Xiyuan laughed when she asked a series of questions, put down the teacup in his hand, and said, "I came to look for you, but no one answered when I knocked on the door. I don't think you will go out. I was afraid that something would happen to you, so I had to open the door. The wall came in."

"I..., I fell asleep."

"I saw it." Jiang Xiyuan nodded very calmly.

Seeing him sitting here at the beginning of Xia, his heart has stabilized a lot in the past two days, but after he stabilized, he began to feel a little uncomfortable again.Now when she saw Jiang Xiyuan again, she always felt a little different, as if every word and every look in his eyes were hinting, but she felt guilty and didn't know how to speak, she pulled the quilt over herself at a loss.

"Still sleeping?"

"No." She tugged at the quilt in her hand, seeing that her subconscious cover-up was a bit ridiculous, so she sat on the edge of the bed and put on her shoes with her head bowed.In the middle, he took a peek at Jiang Xiyuan, trying to see some clues from his expression, but he was a little afraid to see the clues.As soon as she met his gaze, she hurriedly moved away, still busy with her pair of shoes.

Jiang Xiyuan looked at Xia Chu a little strangely, and couldn't help but ask her what's wrong, Xia Chu shook his head and said nothing.The words went back and forth in her mind a few times, and finally she swallowed them back.

Ask him if he is interested in himself?He said that he was ashamed if he didn't, so how would he face him in the future; he said yes, what could he do?You can't take the initiative to ask someone, and then refuse to go, isn't that sick!
After picking up the shoes and straightening the clothes, after finishing the clothes, I cut my hair, and after finishing my hair, I carefully folded the quilt, and finally there was nothing to do, Xia Chu lowered his head and asked: "My lord, are you okay at home? The old general didn't like you, did he?"

Jiang Xiyuan had been drinking tea slowly, watching her fussing about, and finally waited until she spoke, then picked up the teapot and poured her a cup, signaling her to sit down.Chu Xia rubbed his nose and sat down, holding the teacup in both hands and still not looking up.

Jiang Xiyuan tilted his head to look at her, and said with a smile, "I'm fine, aren't I?"

Xia Chu took a quick look at him and nodded, "It's fine. What about the emperor? Did you blame you?"

Jiang Xiyuan sighed softly, and said in a deep voice: "The emperor has lost his temper. Tomorrow, I will enter the palace to plead guilty. It is not certain whether I can come out, so I come to see you."

"Ah?!" Xia Chu suddenly raised his head, his eyes were full of astonishment, his face changed a little, he leaned forward and said in a loud voice, "Didn't Brother Liu say it's all right! How could it be like this?! My lord, what do you say?" What do you mean by not coming?!"

Countless guesses flooded her mind.Those scenes that I saw on TV before, such as being imprisoned, tortured to extract confessions, three feet of white silk, and the whole family being copied and beheaded, all appeared.

Jiang Xiyuan stared at her intently, and suddenly his lips curled into a laugh, he raised his eyebrows lightly, and asked slowly, "Are you worried about me?"

Xia Chu was stunned, and then realized that Jiang Xiyuan was playing tricks on her again, and his heart suddenly relaxed.Before he breathed out the breath, tears fell without warning.

Now Jiang Xiyuan was also taken aback.

He felt that Xia Chu was not in good spirits today, and he didn't even want to lift his eyelids after waking up, so he wanted to tease her, and make her stumble with him for a few words.But this joke seemed to be too big. Not only did it not cheer her up, it actually made her cry.

"I..., I just said it casually." Jiang Xiyuan panicked at Xia Chu's tears, his mouth was dumbfounded, and he got up to help her wipe away the tears, but Xia Chu slapped him hard when he stretched out his hand opened.

"Can this matter be talked about casually!" Xia Chu cursed loudly, wiped his eyes with his backhand, and blushed with anger.

"I was wrong, don't cry."

"I'm fucking crying with joy!" Xia Chu stomped his feet fiercely, stood up and rushed out of the room.Jiang Xiyuan followed out in a panic, seeing Xia Chu rushing to the side of the water tank, he stretched out his hand to hold the water out, wiped his face indiscriminately, and muttered in his mouth not knowing what he was still cursing at himself.

Standing one step behind her, he gently rubbed his palm that was numb and itchy from Xia Chu's slap, and a hint of disbelief gradually appeared in his expression.

He had no intention of probing, seeing her crying, he was only flustered, and it was only at this moment that he turned his boredom away.

She was frightened by herself and cried by what she might face, that is to say, she cared about herself.No matter how deep this concern is, it is there after all.worth it!

The excitement of longing for the rain to come, and suddenly hearing the sound of rain at night turned into a warm current and melted into his heart, making his heart beat so fast that he felt a little like crying.

Jiang Xiyuan's heart was so soft that it almost melted into water, his palms were sweaty, like an ignorant boy who wanted to confess his love for the first time, trembling slightly nervously because he mustered up his courage, "Chu Xia, actually I..."

"Don't talk!" Xia Chu raised his palm with his back to him, gritted his teeth and said, "I don't want to hear anything from you right now!"

"no……"

"No, it's not!" Xia Chu turned his head, picked up a handful of water from the water tank, and raised it towards Jiang Xiyuan, saying urgently: "I didn't handle it well this time, and I feel sorry for you." Do you know!" She took a step forward, "I'm afraid I'll hurt you, you don't know if you hurt the Jiang family! If you are really imprisoned and killed by the emperor, I'll die, you know! You don’t know if you have no face to live on!”

Her voice was getting louder, her face was flushed with anger, she stood in front of Jiang Xiyuan step by step, and poked her finger on his chest, "Do you know!"

Jiang Xiyuan looked at her silently, then suddenly smiled, raised his hand and grabbed her fingers, "Got it. This time it was my lord who was wrong."
