box of hearts

Chapter 256
Qi She's heart sank to the bottom bit by bit, and he stretched out his hand to caress Qingtian's hot wine noodles.The neat fingertips caught between the strands of hair on her cheeks, stumbled several times, staggered for half a lifetime, and came to her soft throat, "Qingtian, you can no longer trust me wholeheartedly, can you?"

She smiled and shook her head, "I believe in you, I'm just—oh, third brother, you've treated me so affectionately over the years, and I never could bear to say such disappointing words to please you, it's just 'Qi Dafei' This old saying is not taken lightly. I am already 33 this year, and I will become 43, 53... This face, this person, will become less and less eye-catching every day. You teach me how to imagine, an old prostitute, Can the same prince—an emperor, grow old hand in hand? These two kinds of people are really different.” She covered her face with her hands again, and smiled in her own hands, “I will You said I was drunk, but you let me say it."

Qi She took a half step back feebly, for a moment, he couldn't say anything, and didn't want to say anything.

Scattered plum shadows fluttered on the window paper, Qingtian staggered a step with a sweet smile, stretched out his arms to wrap around Qi Shehuan's waist, raised his face with misty eyes, "I'm sorry, you spent so much time planning my birthday, But I only said things that made you uncomfortable. I'm sorry, I was wrong, and I will give you an apology. "

She put one hand high on his shoulder, Qi She pushed her face away, but Qingtian just stuck to his body like a twisted candy, and twisted the tip of the beard on his lips with her hand, "Why are you pouting your beard like that?" Are you angry, huh? Don’t be angry with others. They will give you a good apology. I will do whatever grandpa says. Grandpa, brother, my dear brother, you are angry with me, so I said “Qi Dafei” Isn't it? Then you come and teach me!" She laughed, and pulled his brown-eyed black rhinoceros at the waist with both hands, "Quickly let me learn, what is 'Qi Dajiao', the bigger Qi Sanye is , the more happy they are as a couple..."

Qi She saw that Qingtian was half drunk and half charming, and the words he spit out became more and more ugly, and he felt helpless and funny.She hooked his neck tightly, and licked the tip of her tongue towards his ear temples. A soft white hand had slid directly to his crotch, wrapping it around and kneading and pinching.Qi She snorted, and finally lowered his head, eating into her hot, wine-scented tongue, and slowly raised his arm that had been hanging by his side, wrapping around Qingtian's shoulders, protecting her all arms.His hands were getting tighter and more frantic.At that moment, there is time, like a bird, gracefully passing by the lovers' bodies and disappearing.

After that, there was only deep and sweet breathing, and the sound was slow.Qing Tian slept so soundly that she couldn't feel when Qi She left her arms, and sat up by the bed alone.He just sat there for a moment under the dim light, and then picked up a black silver from the fragrant tea box next to his pillow, and picked the jasper big silver lamp by the bed.The wick jerked upwards and suddenly lit up.With the help of this wavering light, he turned his head and stared at the sleeping Qingtian: half of her face was pressed into the soft silk pillow, and two deep wrinkles appeared at the end of her eyes. There are faint depressions, and the smile lines on both sides of the nose are still very light, but upon closer inspection, it is indeed visible, the lips are partly parted, and the color is burned red by strong wine, which makes the chapped lip lines blurred. There are faint freckles scattered here and there on the fair skin that directly deceives the light of Haoxue.

She was still beautiful, but compared to the shocking beauty in his memory, the beauty in front of his eyes was more panicky, as if there were packs of wolves around this face.

These jackals, Qi She understood, called time.

He turned his eyes away from Qingtian's face, and looked for a long time at the shadow where the light couldn't shine.As if trying to capture the secret of the connection between day and night; like the connection between young and old, laughter and tears, sky and earth, him and her.Qi She confronted this eternity-spanning riddle without uttering a thread or saying a word.
