Chapter 1097 That Handsome Face Under the Dim Starlight Can Be So Soft
She closed her mouth and said tremblingly, "You... want to murder this princess?"

When the man didn't speak, her breath became a little quicker, "If my brother knows, he will definitely copy your whole family!"

Xia Houyuan pulled his lips, "You just said you were soft-hearted Xia Houyuan? Didn't you dislike him? Why do you still want to be soft-hearted?"

"..."

This time it was Shangguan Yu's turn to be silent.

She is not clear-headed now, her temper comes and goes quickly, and she can't remember what she was "violated" just now after being dragged out of the topic like this. At this moment, she lowered her eyes sadly when she heard the words, and muttered softly, "Is your heart soft?" , and it's not something I can control myself..."

Xia Houyuan's eyelashes flickered slightly.

Shangguan Yuxi grabbed her head and rubbed it vigorously, "I don't want to talk to you, go away!"

She pushed him, and her body suddenly tilted, almost falling into the river.

Accompanied by the girl's short scream, Xia Houyuan immediately stretched out his hand to support her back. Her body was pulled back, but her eyes widened in shock, and she held onto his hand tightly, "Go away, I want to get up !"

Xia Houyuan pursed her thin lips into a straight line, and hugged her horizontally from the railing of the stone bridge again.

"Let me go, where are you taking me!"

No matter how noisy she was, the man always held her firmly.

The way back to the palace is not very short, his footsteps are very slow, occasionally sporadic figures pass by on the street, looking at them, they thought they were bandits who kidnapped women, but looking carefully at the man's expression, he found that under the dim starlight That handsome face can be so gentle.

It's like an illusion.

……

Half an hour later, Xia Houyuan finally brought her back to the palace. The girl in his arms was completely exhausted and seemed to be asleep, but she kept muttering something.

It was too quiet, he couldn't hear it.

"Shangguan Yuxi, back to the palace."

"Don't... I don't want to go back to the palace."

She woke up suddenly, and shook her head at him in confusion, "I don't want to go back to the palace."

The man frowned, "Why? Just because of Xia Houyuan, you dare not even go back to your own place?"

"If I can't see him, I won't bother him."

She was silent for a while, then giggled and said, "In the future, maybe you don't have to like him."

Xia Houyuan tightened his arms slightly, narrowed his eyes and stared at her, her confused but serious look gnawed at his reason with imperceptible speed and strength, and made him blurt out without thinking, "So in the future, You don't intend to like him anymore?"

"……I have no idea."

After a pause, a crisp laughter escaped from her mouth, "Probably so."

Xia Houyuan almost threw her on the ground, his deep voice came out of his throat, "Why?"

why?
Shangguan Yuxi shook his head.

Probably not because of being rejected, but because of being disgusted.

Like it or like it, how can it be so easy not to like it, if her heart can be controlled, she won't have to be unrequited love for three years.

"I thought that as long as I worked hard like the man who traveled mountains and rivers to pick snow lotus, worked hard to appear in front of him, and treated him well, sooner or later, I would be able to move him and let him see that there is someone like me beside him..."

She was still smiling, but the smile seemed inexplicably bitter, "But I forgot, he is not some snow-capped lotus, he is a living person with flesh and blood, and it is not something I can get by working hard."
