569 Waiting, all in
"I will come back, senior brother, wait for me." She moved her thin lips slightly and whispered to him silently. She pulled the reins and ran away quickly outside the yard.
Dinghai is already one of the northernmost cities of Chu. Mu Chu left Dinghai and either left Chu directly and headed towards Huayue Kingdom in the north, or returned to the south and went to Kunzhou where he had been here.
But Qiqi didn't think he would take the Queensland route. Perhaps his destination was Huayue Kingdom, at least temporarily.
So after she left the city, she kept chasing the path leading to Huayue Kingdom. Now in the middle of the night, leaving Dinghai City means that she cannot stay overnight. He either rushes to leave at night or finds a place to accommodate him on the road.
But as cold dew is heavy today, there are thorns on the road, and he has no other choice except to travel overnight.
Tiesheng had already chased him, but he just didn't know if he had also embarked on this road. The ground on the road was hard and it was not easy to leave footprints. Moreover, there were so many people coming and going, so it was impossible to catch up with it with the footprints.
Less than half an hour later, she had already penetrated into the mountains. It was cold and the ground was frozen. There was a forest ahead. Looking at the phantoms in the night, Qiqi took a deep breath, grabbed the horse's belly, and quickly rushed into Wangxi.
She was not afraid of missing Mu Chu's trace in the mountains and forests. As long as her general direction was correct, she would definitely catch up with him.
There is only one way from Dinghai to Huayue Kingdom. With Wangxi's foot strength, it should not be difficult to catch up with him. What I am afraid of is that he will enter Huayue Kingdom first, and it will not be so easy to find someone in the downtown city.
She was completely unfamiliar with the roads in this area and could only explore while walking.
However, what Qiqi never dreamed of in her dream was that she had found Mu Chu after just less than an hour of entering the mountains.
He was standing on the road, as if waiting for her specifically. What made her even more shocked was that Chu Xuanchi was there, and even Tie Sheng was standing by, quietly without snorting.
They were all waiting for her.
I have imagined the situation of seeing each other thousands of times, but I definitely don’t want to be like this now, let alone find everyone at once.
She turned down from the horse's back and walked to Mu Chu. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he was safe. She wanted to speak, but she didn't know what to say.
His eyes passed over Chu Xuanchi who fell not far away. He stood there, looking at the sky not far away, arrogant and indifferent, but he didn't know what he was thinking.
This strange scene made her feel confused. She didn't even dare to exert force even after a breath, for fear that she would break the rare quietness if she breathed too hard.
In the end, Chu Xuanchi took the lead and spoke, "I'm going to go back to the hall."
Leaving this, he turned around and took a seemingly slow pace, but in a blink of an eye he had already walked far away. In the blink of an eye, his figure disappeared.
Qiqi looked at the night when he disappeared. After watching for a long time, she couldn't come back to her senses. Until a robe with body temperature was draped on her body, she suddenly turned around and looked up at the man standing beside her: "Achu..."
"You are the daughter's house, don't be cold." He tied her robe and said, "Go back."
Qiqi grabbed his big palm and said anxiously: "Don't leave, Achu, don't leave, let's go back together!"
He didn't say anything, but just looked at her quietly. Tiesheng stayed away from him several steps, intending to leave this world to them.
Qiqi was really anxious, afraid that he would not want to go back with him.
He seemed indifferent, but he was very stubborn. If he didn't want to, she could only follow him outside. As for her senior brother, she would really not care about it.
After a while, Mu Chu just looked at her quietly. Chu Xuanchi had already walked away. Apart from them, there was only Tiesheng who was guarding the distance.
The night is confused, and all this under the night is very quiet, so quiet that it is uncomfortable.
"Achu..."
"Okay, I'll go back with you." He suddenly smiled faintly, his smile was very light, but it really existed.
Qiqi was a little stunned, but he had already held her hand. Suddenly, with a force, she was sent to the horse by him. He held Wang Xi's reins and walked back: "The city gate is closed, have you brought a token?"
"Take it." She responded hunchedly, but she was still a little overwhelmed.
He really agreed to go back with her, but he didn't know what he was thinking, whether he really wouldn't leave, or just to comfort her?
What did Chu Xuanchi say to him just now? What did they do before they waited for her here?
Mu Chu didn't say it, and she didn't dare to ask. It was a blessing that he was willing to go back with her now. She was afraid that a few more questions would make him suddenly change his mind.
Tiesheng followed them all the time, not far or near, and in this way, he quietly entered the city and returned to the temple.
Chu Jiangnan seemed to have expected that they would come back at this time, and had already ordered someone to prepare a guest room for Tiesheng. As for Qiqi, she sent Mu Chu back to the room and did not rush to leave, but kept watching him busy cleaning up in the room.
"Why haven't you been back to rest? You're going to set off tomorrow morning. Are you not afraid of being tired on the road?" He turned around and saw her standing aside, staring at him.
He put down the clothes in his hand, looked back at her, and he said, "What's wrong? Do you have something to say to me?"
Qiqi looked up at him, and there was no trace of strange feelings in his eyes. Just like that, calm and pure, all the entanglements today were now completely in his eyes.
She didn't know what he was like now, what did Chu Xuanchi say to him? Why was he like this?
She really didn't dare to leave, just because she was afraid that after she left, he would leave alone like in the first half of the night.
In fact, not only was she worried, but even Tiesheng. Although the servant had arranged a dormitory for him, he soon went out again after returning and stayed in the yard.
If Qiqi didn't say it, he knew it in his heart. They were all afraid that he would not hum and leave. What if he was not lucky and could not find it again?
Seeing that she had no intention of leaving at all, Mu Chu was silent for a moment before saying, "I will not leave again. Really, I want you to promise that if I want to leave, I will definitely seek your consent first. If you don't agree, I will never leave and I will never leave you for the rest of my life."
Her heart was upset and her mood became heavier.
"I have no other intentions." Looking at her face, the light in her eyes flashed and dark, completely making people unable to understand what was hidden inside. She never saw any stretching of her eyebrows. He was silent for a while and suddenly said seriously: "Do you want to know what he said to me?"
Qiqi's eyebrows and eyes opened slightly, and his thin lips, which seemed unusually pale tonight, moved, but he still didn't say anything, and just nodded quietly.
Mu Chu's eyes softened almost invisibly, turned around and picked up the set of clothes on the bed, and hung them on the screen: "She said, you are my pampered sister."
The dullness in his eyes was flashing and the speed was so fast that Qiqi had no chance to capture it: "So you are my sister, I always thought you were me..."
He paused slightly, hung his clothes on, then looked back at her, and said helplessly: "I thought you were my wife who had not passed the door, so that's why..."
Qiqi's breathing was in chaos, and he met his calm gaze, still not knowing what to say.
Think...what does this mean?
"He can explain it clearly, and I can understand it." Mu Chu walked back to her, feeling embarrassed: "Sorry, Qiqi, I have always regarded you as my future wife, so I will not tolerate anyone else around you."
He let out a sigh of relief, as if he had made a major decision, and took her hand and squeezed it hard: "I'm sorry, I won't know anymore. Brother Yi just forgot about the past, so he would cause such a misunderstanding. Don't mind."
"Achu..." She couldn't tell what her mentality felt now. Is it true or false? He just thought she was her elder sister? Then... those words that said they wanted to be with her forever and have children with her...
"Qiqi." His face turned right, and the big palm holding her little hand tightened a little: "I don't know if I have a home, but it doesn't seem to matter to me. Now you are my only relative. If I do something wrong in the future, can you remind me not to make me make mistakes again and again? As long as you don't ignore my righteous brother, you can punish me anyway."
She still couldn't say much, but just met his gaze, and her heart seemed to be stuck in her throat. She was a little dazed and could not tell whether everything in front of her was virtual or real.
Is this turning point too amazing? Just Chu Xuanchi's words can really change so much?
"Why don't you agree?" he asked again, his eyes sinking: "Is it in your heart that I am not as good as your senior brother?"
"No." Of course not. He is like his senior brother, and he is as close as a family to her.
She just couldn't react. Why did she change so much overnight? Did he show possessiveness and strong emotions for himself in the past just because he mistakenly thought of his wife who had not passed the door?
"That's fine." His eyes softened, he put down his hand, gently hugged her shoulder and walked out the door: "Go back and rest. If you don't go back, it will be dawn. I'll set off tomorrow. I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it."
Qiqi didn't even have time to say a complete sentence. He had been hugged out of the door. He didn't let her go until he walked on the corridor and said softly: "Go back."
"Achu..."
"Go back quickly, the dew is heavy at night, don't walk outside for too long." He urged again.
Qiqi was really uneasy, inexplicably uneasy. Everything about tonight was too weird. The problem that could not be solved even if it was heart-wrenching, became so easy to solve... Is it really that simple?
"Isn't you leaving?" Mu Chu looked at her with his eyes down and urged him again.
She frowned and looked up to meet his gaze. After a while, she said, "Will you... leave without humming?"
He was slightly stunned. After a moment, he finally showed the first sincere smile tonight: "No, I promise not, believe me."
