Chapter 49
Chapter 45 Retreat as Advance
Si Tian hurriedly took two steps forward, and called out in a low voice, "Shang Yu!"

Without saying a word, he quietly looked at the two of them, as if looking at a picture scroll.The light was dim, and he could only vaguely see a cold expression on his face, as if he was standing far away from the shore.She couldn't see his eyes clearly, her heart was inexplicably tense, and she lost her composure.

Suddenly, he turned around and jumped up, directly crossed the courtyard wall from the outside of the Merlin, as if he had inadvertently intruded into the landscape painting, and turned into a passerby at a glance.

The moment his figure disappeared on the wall, she was flustered as if her heart and lungs were tightly held by someone, and then suddenly emptied, as if something was also taken out.

Could he have misunderstood?Will you be sad?Will you do something out of the ordinary?Why didn't he ask?Why did you leave without saying a word?What was he thinking about?what will he doA series of thoughts rushed up and tangled in her mind, making her confused.

The night snow was like smoke, she felt her hands and feet were cold and flustered.For a moment, he seemed unable to move, staring blankly at the place where he disappeared on the wall.

"Si Tian, ​​you go back to the room." Pei Yunkuang came back to his senses, took the lantern and sent her back to the room.He was also surprised to meet Shang Yu again unexpectedly.This scene was different from the last time, last time he was standing in the corridor and heard her talking with Shang Yu, but this time it was Shang Yu standing by the Meilin and bumped into them.

Both times he was the one who was rejected, and Shang Yu was the one who left first.

Si Tian's loss of soul made him feel suffocated. It seemed that Shang Yu already had a special place in her heart and was about to overwhelm the emotion he provoked in her heart. However, he was powerless to watch.

He turned around quietly and left, taking the guards back to the mansion.

Not far from the chess club, a man turned around the corner and blocked his sedan chair.

"Cousin, I have something to tell you." Shang Yu stood in the shadows with a handsome figure.

Pei Yunkuang was surprised that Shang Yu was waiting here.He got off the sedan chair and stood facing Shang Yu.Both of them are tall and tall, with outstanding temperament, just like Mo Lan, like Xiuzhu, like a pearl in a box with a faint light, like an arrow on a string.

Everything around was silent, there was not even a trace of wind, and what was undercurrent was only the emotions of the two of them.

The night was as dark as a black curtain, and the strange thing was that both of them seemed to be able to see each other's eyes, with a clear understanding and a little awkwardness that could not be said.The tacit understanding and closeness since childhood, now there is a little estrangement and estrangement, because of a woman.

Shang Yu took a step closer and said in a low voice: "Cousin, I didn't eavesdrop on purpose just now, I just met by chance. She and I have already engaged. When we return to Xinzhou, please take care of her." He Knowing Pei Yunkuang's temperament, he decided to get rid of this knot first, knowing that it is much better to open up than to hide his heart, he has always been a bright and clear person.

Pei Yunkuang was startled suddenly, he made an engagement with her so quickly!

Shang Yu said again: "In my heart, even if my cousin becomes the emperor, he will always be my cousin of Chang Yuhao. I am the same, no matter whether I can regain Cangqiao in the future, I will always be your younger brother, and I will never Change, and there will be no dissent.”

Pei Yunkuang was startled again.

"Cousin take care." Shang Yu cupped his hands, his figure hidden in the darkness.

Pei Yunkuang stood silent for a moment, the night wind was chilly, his heart was clear but aching.Shang Yu seemed to have the intention of entrusting her to him. Faced with Shang Yu's calmness and trust, he realized that he had no way to retreat, and he had no way to go. He could only stop here with her. In the secondary picture scroll, there are only a few strokes of charm, but the finishing touch is left blank, leaving no regrets.

He took a long breath and got on the sedan chair.

The wind stopped and the snow stopped, and there was silence.Si Tian looked up at Ye Mu, hoping that Shang Yu would come back, but she waited for half an hour, but he was nowhere to be seen.

She almost impulsively wanted to go to his house to find him.For some reason, she was afraid that he might misunderstand, and wanted to explain to him immediately.

He shouldn't be such a narrow-minded person, right?Judging from his usual behavior, he is not a narrow-minded person.But when it comes to emotions, it cannot be theorized in the usual way.Now that he and she are fiancée, what would he think when he suddenly saw her and Pei Yunkuang admiring plum blossoms late at night and talking ambiguously?

Only then did she realize that she didn't know him well, and many times she didn't think about his feelings, and just avoided him passively.She didn't seriously think about the future with him, he was the one who was working hard all the time, and she was shrinking back. If the reason for ignoring him before was because there was a shadow of someone in her heart, what about now?She felt a little guilty secretly.

After the snow stopped, there was a faint whiteness as thin as autumn frost in the courtyard, empty like her heart.

Her feet were numb from standing, so she had no choice but to go back to the house and lie down. This night, she couldn't sleep peacefully.The scene with Shang Yu flashed in my heart.She fell asleep in a daze, and actually dreamed of him in her dream.She was eager to explain to him, and he smiled and nodded her forehead: "If there is a next time, let's see how I deal with you."

She was relieved, very peaceful and peaceful, however, when she woke up, she found that it was a dream.

She got up at dawn and walked to the Merlin.After the plum blossoms have passed through the snow, their fragrance becomes weaker and their color becomes much lighter.She walked slowly among the plum blossoms, the events of last night had been entangled in her heart, even in her dreams, and although she woke up with a sense of loss, she was no longer ignorant and confused as before.

The rising sun reflected the distant sky, and she felt very clear in her heart.Let go of the past and look to the future, which should be her direction.

What she should do now is to explain to Shang Yu, whether he believes it or not, and whether he listens or not, she should do the same.

But the whole day, there was no sign of him.Thinking of returning to Xinzhou with Pei Yunkuang tomorrow, and not seeing Shang Yu for a long time, what should I do about this misunderstanding?Let it drag on and make it worse?She secretly became anxious.

The anticipation of a day feels like a year. The thin snow in the courtyard has been transformed into invisible by the warm sun, and last night was like a dream.

In the evening, she finally waited for Shang Yu to come.Seeing his tall and free and easy figure striding from the courtyard to the corridor, the joy in her heart was so strong that even she was surprised.

Seeing him approaching, she felt inexplicably at ease, and at the same time, a little apprehension fluctuated with her breathing. Would he believe her?Will he have a grudge from now on?

He was leisurely with his hands behind his back, and his steps were brisk, but his expression was serious, and his eyes were as deep as the undercurrent of the sea. She couldn't help being nervous when she saw it, and was afraid that a huge wave would suddenly roll up.Recalling his anger when he found out that he was engaged, she felt a little guilty and fearful for no reason. This time, the situation was much more serious. In the dead of night, lonely men and widows, ambiguous words, alas, it was a bit unforgivable.

He didn't say a word, but squinted at her, as if waiting for her to speak.

She summoned up her courage and said, "Shang Yu, yesterday was not what you thought."

He stepped up the corridor and stared at her: "Do you know what I thought last night?"

She shook her head and said in a low voice, "You're naturally unhappy if you turn your head and leave."

He passed her side and walked straight into her room.

She followed in, watching his back nervously.

He turned around, put his arm over her shoulder, closed the door, and when he retracted his arm, he took her to his chest.

She took a tight breath, looked at him uneasily, and couldn't help but worry about what kind of "punishment" would come next.

But he didn't move, just looked at her and sighed quietly, then stroked her cheek lightly with his fingers, and said in a low voice: "Kiss me, I won't be angry with you anymore."

Her face became hot, she lowered her eyes, and her long eyelashes fluttered gently under his eyes, as if provoking his patience.His breathing was a little short, the hot breath was just above her eyebrows, she had nowhere to hide, he was aggressive.Although she felt that he was asking too much, but she seemed to be at fault first, so she couldn't refuse strictly because of her guilty conscience, so she had no choice but to resist silently and shyly, refusing to carry out.

He raised his brows, as if he was angry, and his voice became a little more serious: "Why, don't you want to? You don't care about my feelings at all?" His hand on her waist tightened a little, as if very Dissatisfied with her dawdling and resistance.

He was tall and burly, and under the oppression of his powerful aura, she had difficulty breathing.Seeing that it didn't mean that she couldn't do the job, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and touch his face with her toes. It was like a dragonfly was touching the water, and it was still the shore, which was not where he wanted at all.

It's not easy to correct after making a mistake. This perfunctory attitude obviously made him dissatisfied.He frowned, unceremoniously pressed her against him hard, and kissed her hard.

It really was "severe punishment"... She felt as if she had been sucked dry and was about to suffocate.When she took a long breath and raised her eyes again, she found that there was no trace of displeasure and gloom on his face, as bright and clear as ever.Really angry?It's too easy to talk this time, right?She couldn't believe it.Did he not care about what happened last night at all?Is she making a fuss out of a molehill?

He smiled mischievously: "You really underestimate me. I'm not a person with a small stomach. Even if I want to be jealous, I will do it openly. Didn't you just admire the plum blossoms in the snow with the prince last night? I didn't angry."

She looked into his eyes and asked earnestly, "You really didn't think much about it?" She felt strange, he left last night with a strong reaction, she thought he would be angry and jealous by misunderstanding, but did he not feel angry or jealous at all?Then he deliberately said that he was angry just now, just to let her express his appeasement?She was angry and ashamed, feeling that she had fallen for his tricks, and worried all night in vain.

He nodded and said seriously: "I really didn't think much about it." In fact, he was in a very complicated state of mind at the time, half happy and half hurt.The happy thing is that she rejected Pei Yunkuang, but the sad thing is that she really fell in love with him in her heart.But he is a man, and he will never be so mean that he can't even tolerate this.

She pouted and said, "Then why are you running?"

"I heard your last few words and thought a lot. At that time, I was not angry when I left, but I just felt that no matter what I said, I couldn't make you understand my intentions. Besides, in that situation, I didn't want to embarrass my cousin. So leave first. Today I want to take you to a place. You go and change into men's clothes first."

Although she was very curious about where she was going, she didn't even ask for the first time, she didn't want to go against his intention at all, she was obedient as if she had a guilty conscience, but in fact she didn't do anything wrong to him, why would she feel guilty?Is it because you care?While changing her clothes, she was thinking wildly, wondering how she was today.After changing her clothes, she tidied up her hair again, and when she looked up again, it was already twilight outside the window.

He took her out from the back door of the chess club, and a small sedan chair was waiting there.He took her hand and got on the sedan chair.For the first time, she didn't resist and let him hold his hand.

In the setting sun, the bustling passers-by hurried home, and there began to be dots of lights on both sides of the road. She opened the side curtain of the sedan chair and looked outside, but she didn't see anything, because the hand was held by him all the time. , did not mean to let go.She was nervous and awkward, her hands were sweating, she wanted to break free, but after trying twice, he held her tighter.She had to give up, and to hide her embarrassment, she looked outside.

The sedan chair had very little space, and she felt that she only occupied a small space, but no matter how she shrunk to the side of the sedan chair, she still stuck to his shoulder.He didn't speak, and looked at her sideways seriously. The light projected from outside the sedan chair shone on one side of her cheek, which was warm and moving.

She knew he was looking at her, and her face became more and more rosy.

His mind fluttered, he pretended to look out of the sedan chair to look at the scenery, and moved his face closer, intentionally or unintentionally, his face touched hers.

She was ashamed and annoyed, but there was nowhere to hide.

He smiled secretly, feeling at peace and happiness in his heart.She didn't realize it yet, but he already felt that her attitude towards him was different from before, and there was a gratifying change.When he saw the two standing in the Merlin last night and heard those conversations, he was shocked and indeed felt jealous.It turned out that the person who made her fall in love at first was Pei Yunkuang.It seemed that she rejected Pei Yunkuang not because of him, but because of his identity.He felt lost, as if he had been blinded by the wind and snow.But after hearing her last words, he was relieved again.Since she thinks that a pearl is not as good as half a sweet potato, then naturally she will not have anything to do with Pei Yunkuang, as she said, it can only be Jingmu.

However, what about himself?The only difference between him and Pei Yunkuang is that Cang Qiao and Daliang belong to the royal family, so there are bound to be many choices and temptations in some aspects.If he told her that he would have the same status and status as Pei Yunkuang in the future, would she reject him or shrink back?How should he make her feel at ease and let her know that he can fulfill her wish of having someone to accompany her for the rest of her life?
He was at a loss for a moment, so he retreated to advance.

Goodbye today, she was so nervous about his reaction, worried that he would misunderstand, and took the initiative to explain to him, which shows that he already has a different weight in her heart.He became more and more convinced that he would occupy her heart and cover up the past.He also felt more and more that he should reassure her earlier, so he took her to a place today.
