Chapter 24 It Was Him

Hearing the sound of footsteps, He Lianshu's eyes turned slightly to the door, and in the next moment, he frowned and said, "What about her?"

Su Le was the only one who came in. He seemed to be drenched in the rain, and his body was a little wet. He was still panting slightly, his usual smile was gone, and he looked a bit gloomy.

"Let me ask you, where is she? What happened?" He Lianshu asked again, his voice sank two minutes.

Su Le still pursed his lips and did not speak.

But He Lianshu couldn't sit down anymore, stood up abruptly, and walked out quickly.

When he passed by Su Le, he suddenly stretched out his hand to pinch him, seeing Su Le's joking smile, "Don't worry, don't worry, she's fine! Didn't you order her to wear a full beard and a tailband?" Are you coming back? Don't worry, not a single hair is missing. It's just...she probably didn't dare to come in, she's still outside..."

He Lianshu didn't understand his smile and the teasing in his words, so he shook off his hand and gave him another hard stare.

It rained lightly at night, and the entire Pingliang City was bathed in it. Under the darkness of night, it was quiet and silent.

Xu Jiao sat on the ground leaning against the outer wall of the mansion, holding the outer shirt she took off in her hand, which contained the camellia plant she just took out from Pingnan Wang's study.The camellia had already started to wither and turn yellow, and the branches and leaves were seriously damaged, and I feared that it would not be able to survive.

It is written in the article that Xu Wei loves camellias because the Pingnan Wang and his wife love camellias, and even specifically mentioned that the most precious things in Pingnan Wang's study are not those rare antiques, but a pot of camellias that Pingnan Wangfei planted herself when she was alive. .It should be this pot.

She has been listening to the movement with her ears upright, and when the faint footsteps are mixed with the sound of the rain, she hastily lowered her eyelids, as if her whole body has been exhausted, and she can't get up, and she doesn't want to get up.

Her empty eyes just looked down at the camellia plant, as if she was hoping that it would immediately come back to life after drinking the rain.

The sound of footsteps became clear, she flinched and moved for a while, but slumped again, still sitting there in the rain like that, motionless, listening to the sound of footsteps approaching step by step, gradually approaching, approaching and then , stopped in front of her.

The rain suddenly stopped.

Because of the rain, it was so dark that you couldn't see your fingers. After waiting for a while, Xu Jiao looked up in a daze.

In sight, there is only a vague outline, the person and the umbrella are the same.The rain fell on the umbrella, rustling.It turned out that it wasn't the rain that stopped, but that someone propped up a clear sky for her.

"Sitting here, are you going to spend the night here?" The deep and indifferent voice slowly slid past the ear, Xu Jiao blinked, blinking the raindrops on the eyelashes, it turned out to be him !
The joy on Xu Jiao's face for a moment, seemed to remember something the next moment, the joy on her face disappeared suddenly, her small face was sad for a moment, she lowered her eyelids, "Mr. Helian, I didn't find what you asked me to look for. Here I can't prove that I am the Princess Mingyue of Pingnan Palace, no matter how you want to deal with me, I will..." When she said this, her shoulders trembled slightly, her whole body was soaked, and she shrunk her shoulders and looked more and more slender Pitiful.

He Lianshu was silent for a while, and his eyes fell on the things in her arms, "What is this?"

"This one?" Xu Jiao held the camellia plant very carefully, with the corners of his mouth slightly hooked, but the smile was a bit astringent, "This is my father's favorite camellia, which was planted by my mother when she was alive." , but now, I don't know if I can live..."

He Lianshu's eyes are good, under the light halo from the wind lantern hanging on the mansion door, he saw two glaring wounds on her white and tender hands at a glance...

His eyes darkened slightly, and his voice seemed to be soaked by the night rain, with a touch of tide, "Let's go in first and talk!" He held out a hand to her.

Xu Jiao stared blankly at his hand, and after a long while timidly handed it out, he held it for a moment, and pulled it up from the ground lightly.

But Xu Jiao didn't know if her legs were numb, she staggered, and fell directly into his arms. She quickly stood up, bit her lower lip uneasily, and secretly glanced at him, "I'm sorry, Mr. Helian, I ..."

"Let's go!" He Lianshu turned around, but didn't take a step. It wasn't until Xu Jiao stepped out hesitantly that he followed suit. The umbrella covered her head from the beginning to the end.

A lamp is like a bean, but that faint yellow light dispels the darkness and coldness of the rainy night, making people feel warm.

She finally came back.Xu Jiao breathed a sigh of relief.

Someone knocked on the door of the room behind her, and her expression changed. The crisis has not been completely overcome, and it is not time to relax.She pulled herself together and responded with a slightly hoarse voice.

He Lianshu gently opened the door, raised his eyes to look at her, but when he touched it, he lowered his eyes again, and said in a deep voice, "Come here!"

He lowered his head and put the tray on the table, but he didn't hear the sound of her approaching. He raised his head again and saw that she was still standing by the window blankly.

Her dress was soaked, because there were no women's dresses, and it was already late at night, so He Lianshu didn't disturb others, and just found a suit of his clothes for her to change into.His clothes were too big for her, enclosing her in them, making her look more delicate and immature.A head of wet hair was still hanging on his shoulders, and it became paler against a small face, and his eyes seemed to have been washed by rain, wet, looking at him like a small animal afraid of being abandoned.

He Lianshu's heart seemed to be stung by something, his brows furrowed, he stepped forward quickly, put his hand around her arm, and pulled her to sit on the chair by the table.

Xu Jiao was still staring at him blankly, when she felt a pain in her hand, she hissed, subconsciously wanting to pull her hand back.

"Don't move!" The hands were firmly held, and Helian Shu's solemn and somewhat cold voice was next to his ears.

He was lowering his head to apply medicine to the scrape on her hand, his movements were skillful and gentle.The candlelight was faint, projecting on his face, flickering and flickering, but it made his outline softer.

Xu Jiao looked at his profile, but lost his mind.

"Pick up the skirt!" When his voice sounded in her ears again, she just closed her eyes slightly, puzzled.

He Lianshu's eyebrows frowned, "Isn't there a wound on your leg too? Pick up the skirt, so I can give you medicine!"

"Oh!" Xu Jiao finally came to his senses. While scolding the beauty for being seductive, he hastily lifted up the skirt and panties until they reached his knees, revealing the scratch on his knees...

He Lianshu looked at the girl's slender and well-proportioned legs, and his hands paused slightly.In the Central Plains, even looking at someone's girl's feet is ruining one's reputation, and one has to marry someone to be kind, but she is so defenseless in front of him?
His silence fell into Xu Jiao's eyes, but he interpreted it differently, he said a little embarrassedly, "Blame me for being clumsy, not to mention kicking the stool and tripping myself, and causing Su Langjun and the others a lot of trouble."
