Chapter 345: Knowing that it will hurt, but yearning for the warmth of that moment

Chapter 345 Knowing that it will hurt, but yearning for the warmth of that moment

Unknowingly, the sky darkened. This inn is not big, and there are so many of them living there, there is no room left.

Gu Danxue undressed and lay down, Xing Qi consciously turned his back. He picked up a quilt and spread it on the ground.

Gu Danxue got up wrapped in the quilt: "This bed is quite big, or... you can sleep on the bed! Don't worry, I sleep very honestly, and I will definitely not touch you."

The two have been together day and night for more than a month, and there is almost no physical contact with each other. Every time she undressed, Fenghuang would subconsciously avoid it. She guessed that Fenghuang had been traumatized in Hualou before, so this happened.

Afraid of touching the other person's sadness, she would never mention it normally, but it was too cold to sleep on the floor at night in February.

Xing Qi laid out the quilt: "No, slaves practice martial arts and are not afraid of the cold."

Although he wouldn't do anything to her, he couldn't rely on her ignorance to make any abrupt moves.

The rain has been falling, and today happened to be the start of the sting. In the middle of the night, accompanied by a burst of dazzling lightning, the first thunder of the year sounded.

The woman on the bed screamed softly, Xing Qi opened his eyes vigilantly, stood up and ran towards the bed.

Gu Danxue sat up abruptly with her eyes closed, her body trembling slightly, obviously shocked.

He softly called "Girl", subconsciously stretched out his hand, and when he touched the thin pajamas on her back, he suddenly stopped.

Gu Danxue, who closed his eyes, seemed to feel something, and grabbed his arm tightly.

Just as Xing Qi was about to withdraw his hand, his arm stiffened suddenly, and he felt some warm liquid hitting the back of his hand.

Looking down, through the faint light of the candle, I saw that she was weeping silently with her eyes closed.

Xing Qi has seen many people cry, some are sad, desperate or begging for mercy.

But at this time, seeing the woman crying in a bad way, he felt a sudden pain in his heart. This pain made him more uncomfortable than the feeling of being devoured by thousands of ants every time the poisonous Gu poisoned him.

He pulled the quilt to wrap her around her, and patted her on the back lightly through the quilt.

The rain outside did not know when it stopped, and Gu Danxue gradually calmed down. He gently freed his arm, and took out a cotton kerchief to help her dry the tears on her face.

When the handkerchief slipped to the corner of the mouth. Gu Danxue opened her mouth unconsciously and bit his knuckles. Along with the sharp sting, her wet lips.

An indescribable throbbing swayed in the bottom of my heart.

He could have easily broken free, but he became greedy, like a knife on fire, knowing that it would hurt, but he was greedy for that moment of warmth.

…

Woke up the next day, the sky was bright.

Shen Mingjiao greeted Gu Danxue to have breakfast together. Gu Danxue asked curiously, "Why didn't you see Your Highness?"

"He went out to meet a friend." Feng Lisheng didn't come back yesterday, but someone sent a letter saying that he had quietly gone to the garrison where Qin Di belonged, telling her not to worry.

The two chatted for a while. It wasn't until almost half in the morning that Gu Danxue returned to the wing.

Xing Qi saw the smile on her brow, and asked calmly, "Where are your friends going?"

"Oh, Madam said that he and the young master came here to visit an old friend, and have fun by the way."

When talking about Shen Mingjiao, her tone was obviously familiar and light.

Xing Qi lowered his gaze as if nothing had happened, and carefully braided a hair rope for him.

He must never appear in front of King Su, he is not afraid of death, nor is he afraid of breaking with that mermaid. But he has something more important to protect, and he is also afraid that the girl in front of him will make things difficult.

Just as he opened his mouth to prophesy, he saw Gu Danxue shaking the bag in his hand: "Pack up your things quickly, we will leave later."

Xing Qi's eyes flashed with astonishment, and he blurted out: "You won't go with your friend!"

Gu Danxue pulled the hair rope in his hand, mosuo back and forth with both hands, raised his head and said with a smile: "I really want to go with my wife, but what about Fenghuang?"

He was momentarily dumb: "I..."

"Although I don't know why you don't want to see Madam and them. But if I insist on walking with Madam and them, you will definitely feel uncomfortable. You took care of me a lot along the way, and I don't want to make you unhappy."

Looking into her clear eyes, listening to her words "I don't want to make you unhappy",

Because of this sentence, Xing Qi suddenly forgave all the injustices that God had done to him in the past.

…

Shen Mingjiao watched the two of them leave, Haitang saw her girl's expression of reluctance, and couldn't help saying: "Anyway, Miss Gu doesn't have a fixed place to go, why didn't Miss Gu stay with you for a few more days?"

Shen Mingjiao walked back: "Danxue has her own way to go, and we didn't really come out to play, this journey will not be peaceful, why bother others for nothing!"

While speaking, there was only a sound of horseshoes approaching from far to near, and Haitang shouted: "Young master is back."

Shen Mingjiao turned her head and saw Feng Lisheng leading two guards on horseback. Although the expression on his face remained the same, she could tell at a glance that he was in a bad mood. It seemed that the operation was not going well.

Feng Lisheng got off his horse, Shen Mingjiao had already asked his hostess to prepare hot water for food in advance. Immediately urged him to take a bath,

"After taking a shower, go to sleep first, and talk about it when you wake up from something."

Feng Lisheng didn't sleep all night, but he didn't feel sleepy at this moment. He was leaning in the bathtub, frowning and thinking about something.

Shen Mingjiao took a bath towel to help him scrub his back, and guessed: "Are there any officials on Qindi's side who belong to the prince?"

Feng Lisheng nodded with an ugly face: "Not only the county heads of several counties, but even the garrison on the side of Qin is not clean."

This result is not difficult to guess, after all, since the crown prince chose to raise private soldiers here, it is impossible that the officials in this place did not make arrangements.

He just didn't expect the prince to win over so many officials at once.
