Chapter 1604: My Little Lover Is Like This

Xia Zhaoxue simply ate and went back to the house.

It was only when he came out of the shower that he saw the letter from Ouyang Jun.

After picking it up from the desk and reading it, Xia Zhaoxue's reaction was also indifferent.

But after thinking it over, he put on his outer robe and went out to find his younger sister.

There was no one in Xia Zhaoyi's room.

Xia Zhaoxue went to Shen Lie's room, but there was no one there.

Xia Zhaoxue stopped a maid who was passing by carrying medicine.

By chance, the maid knew what was going on and pointed outside: "Go out and play!"

"It's so late, are they out playing?"

The maid smiled from ear to ear: "Oh, this is what it's like when young lovers are together. There are so many places for young boys and girls to go and have fun. When two people walk hand in hand, even the dry riverbed can become a beautiful scenery. When I was young, I also loved to go out and play with the boy I liked."

Xia Zhaoxue nodded thoughtfully and smiled brightly at the maid: "Auntie, you can find someone you like now and go out to play together."

"Haha, I'm old now and I'm no longer interested. I can't even remember what the boy I liked looked like. Eh? Sir, what about you? You look young, don't you have a girl you like?"

Xia Zhaoxue laughed dryly: "No."

There has never been such a thing before, and there won’t be such a thing in the future, so he doesn’t dare to do it

His cancellation of the engagement caused so many deaths that the entire fortune of Daqian was ruined.

However, now that he sees his younger sister and Shen Lie happily together, Xia Zhaoxue is also happy.

When I first saw my younger sister's personality, I thought she would be like my younger sister, with no interest in love between men and women and would not be moved by it.

It still has to be Shen Lie, looking at the jade-like snow-capped mountains, not lowering his brows for the beauties, with a cold and indifferent look on his face. But if it weren't for his calm and deep determination, and not retreating, this relationship would not have come to fruition.

Xia Zhaoxue looked down at the letter in his hand, smiled, and turned back to his room.

Xia Zhaoyi and Shen Lie didn't actually go anywhere.

They climbed to the highest point of the fortress, faced the howling north wind like a knife, sat on the parapet, and let their legs dangle in the wind.

Originally, this place was full of corpses. In order to welcome the New Year, it was cleaned repeatedly, and then covered by heavy snow, which melted and covered again. Now everything has suddenly become quiet, as if all the bloody rain and bloody wind had never happened.

Xia Zhaoyi talked to Shen Lie about Ouyang Jun's letter, and then about the wounded who were sent there in the afternoon. As they talked, they also talked about the troubled times in the Central Plains and the battle front in the north.

They should have been feeling bad, but for some reason, they felt a sense of heroism in their hearts.

Xia Zhaoyi smiled at Shen Lie who was standing across the wall: "I suddenly feel like drinking. How nice it would be if there was some wine here."

She patted the rough-hewn wall.

Shen Lie also laughed: "If there is wine, only you can drink it. If I only touch half a cup, I will fall down from here."

"Well, you watch me drink, and when I'm drunk, you can carry me back."

Shen Lie's dark eyes turned serious: "Ali, do you really want to drink? I'll get it for you."

Xia Zhaoyi smiled and said, "You don't feel tired running back and forth, but it's a bit cold, shall we go back?"

"it is good."

Xia Zhaoyi landed lightly from the parapet onto the fortress, and her hand was covered by Shen Lie.

Shen Lie's palms were very hot. Even though there was wind blowing in his direction, his hands seemed to be always hot.

To be exact, his whole body is like that. It is a blessing to lean on him for warmth in winter.

Going down to the bottom floor of the fortress, Xia Zhaoyi walked along the stone steps honestly without climbing over the eaves or walls.

When he reached the last step of the stairs, Shen Lie suddenly smiled: "You must be holding it in."

Xia Zhaoyi raised his eyes to look at him and smiled: "You mean, go down the stone steps?"

"Ah."

Xia Zhaoyi was curious: "Shen Lie, do you think I am quiet or active?"

"It can be you," Shen Lie held both of her hands, "Ali, do you know what your best side is?"

"What is it?"

"Your smile," Shen Lie looked at her intently, "even on this battlefield, with powerful enemies like tigers, you still smiled brightly, as if you were playing with the world. Do you know how many people your smile inspired at that time, and it also inspired me." Xia Zhaoyi's eyes were like water, and her smile flowed: "No wonder you said I was too suffocated, you remembered me jumping up and down on the stone wall of this battlefield."

Shen Lie smiled: "Who can forget your graceful figure after seeing it?"

Xia Zhaoyi accepted the compliment and continued, "All of us in the sect do this. After we have mastered the basic skills, if there is a shortcut, we don't have to waste time. My master does this, I do this, and my junior fellow apprentice does this too. I've seen my junior fellow apprentice climb, and he is indeed agile, swift, and graceful. I guess mine isn't much worse."

"Haha!" Shen Lie couldn't help but put his arms around her waist, "You are the prettiest, much more light and agile."

Shen Lie seldom laughed out loud, but he looked very handsome when he laughed, with white teeth, a broad and unrestrained manner. His smile was like the bright moon behind the clouds, spreading across thousands of mountains, rivers and seas in an instant, lively and unrestrained, and very contagious.

Xia Zhaoyi looked up at him, and suddenly leaned his head against his shoulder.

Shen Lie hugged her tightly and said gently: "Ali?"

"It's not a waste of time to walk down with you, and I'm not holding it back. I was just thinking that this corridor could be wider so that reinforcements can be added quickly. I looked around and thought about how to modify it. Although the fortress has been formed, it can still be repaired."

Shen Lie nodded: "Okay, let's repair it. We are not short of manpower and financial resources now."

Xia Zhaoyi didn't say a word and just leaned against him.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

As we are about to part, I want to say I am reluctant to leave, but I cannot.

The reluctance she expressed would have an impact on him.

The two of them cannot be held back by love between a man and a woman.

She also couldn't let this reluctance continue to grow and trap herself.

"I'm sleepy," Xia Zhaoyi smiled in his arms, "Although I haven't drunk, can you carry me on your back?"

He had carried her on his back before, but at that time she didn't like to be close to people, so even when he carried her on his back, she always managed to keep her distance.

It's completely different now.

Xia Zhaoyi had no boundaries. She put her arms around his neck, pressed her cheek against his, inhaled the light and elegant fragrance on his body, and the softness of her chest also pressed against him.

Shen Lie was amused, and his smile was handsome and elegant: "Ali, it's itchy."

"My breath?" Xia Zhaoyi said mischievously, "I didn't even bite your ear."

"Don't!" Shen Lie said immediately, "We're still on the way."

Xia Zhaoyi let him go: "Okay, I won't make trouble anymore."

She shifted her position on his broad shoulders and raised her head to look toward the sky.

After quietly looking at the formation, Xia Zhaoyi said, "Shen Lie."

"Ok?"

"Liling is very high. The starry sky on the mountain is very beautiful, clear and vast, and you can see dozens of miles at a glance. It is for this reason that Master settled in Liling."

"When there's a chance, I'll go back with you to watch the stars together."

"Ah."

Shen Lie raised his head and looked towards the sky.

In fact, he had always wanted to go to Liling for a long time. That was where she grew up. Shen Lie felt that he would fall in love with even a blade of grass and a flower there.

After returning, it was no longer as turbulent as last night.

Long and gentle lingering.

Xia Zhaoyi lay on the bed and tilted her head to look into Shen Lie's eyes.

His eyes were clear and deep, staring at her tightly, as if he wanted to devour her.

Xia Zhaoyi's eyes were filled with tears.

She couldn't tell whether it was caused by her body or her heart.

When the sparks became brighter and brighter and were about to turn into brilliant fireworks, Xia Zhaoyi opened her mouth to speak, but Shen Lie spoke first, "A-Li... I love you."

He snatched the words she was about to say.

Xia Zhaoyi's voice was equally hoarse and trembling: "Me, me too. Shen Lie, I love you."

Then, a violent wave surged over her and her mind went blank.
