The Boyfriend Who I’ve Never Met

"Little cousin don't know?"

Seeing Xie Tao's face in shock, Qi Ji shook his head and sighed with a smile, "Sun Yushi has asked your Majesty several days ago."

Xie Tao held the tea cup, eyes down, and did not speak for a long time.

Seeing her like this, Qi Ji seemed to be more convinced of something in his heart. He was always paying attention to the changes in her expression, and only a moment later said leisurely, "But Yanchen refused."

Sure enough, Xie Tao raised his head again when he heard what he said, looking at him.

"really?"

Xie Tao's eyes lit up, but she seemed to think for a while, and then quickly asked, "Then, then he refused, is the emperor angry?"

"Don't worry, your majesty is not angry. After all, Yanchen is also a national teacher, and he is heavily relied on. Why would your majesty punish him for this." Qi Ji drank his tea and said slowly.

Only a moment later, he raised his eyes and glanced at the little girl sitting opposite, and then said, "It's just a pity that Miss Sun is so obsessed with Yanchen. I heard people say that she had begged Sun Yushi for a long time. Just now, Sun Yushi brazenly went to ask for this marriage for his aunt...Unexpectedly, it was falling flowers intentionally and flowing water ruthlessly..."

"Then Miss Sun was born as a shameless flower, but after this incident, she became a laughing stock for the people of Yingdu."

When Xie Tao heard the words, she just pressed her lips and didn't speak.

"The cousin seems to care too much about Yanchen's marriage." Qi Ji suddenly said again.

Xie Tao met his smiling eyes and pressed her fingers against the wall of the tea cup, not knowing what she should say when she saw her.

"Yanchen is now in his twenties. It's the age to marry a wife. Even if Miss Sun is gone, there will be another Miss Wang and Miss Li tomorrow...he doesn't like this one, he will always encounter it in the future. One you like?"

As Qi Ji said, he touched his chin, "I don't know if I even meet several people I like..."

"He won't!"

Xie Tao retorted subconsciously.

Qi Ji put one hand on his chin and looked at her with a smile, "Why did my little cousin say this?"

He continued, "Men with three wives and four concubines is a very common thing."

Xie Tao stared at him and stopped talking.

Qi Ji looked at the puffy appearance of the little girl sitting across from him, apparently **** off by what he said. Qi Ji chuckled out and said quickly, "Cousin, don't want to talk to me." **** off,"

He handed her a candy pie wrapped in kraft paper in a leather bag tied to his waist belt, "I, I was just joking to make you laugh."

Xie Tao looked at what he handed over, but did not pick it up for a long time.

"The little cousin has to regret not eating it. This sugar pie is extremely rare. Except for my back kitchen in the Nanping Hou Mansion, I will never find it again in this world." Qi Ji unfolded the kraft paper, revealing half of it was stained. Pie with icing sugar.

The frosting was like finely divided snowflakes, spread rustlingly on a piece of pancake with a brown surface, with white sesame seeds on top.

It seems... it smells good?

Xie Tao hesitated.

In the end, she still did not resist the temptation and reached out to take it.

She only lowered her head and took a bite. It was crisp on the outside and smelled of sweet-scented osmanthus honey inside, like there were other sweet scents that could not be named. The fruity sweet and sour syrup was wrapped inside, and the outside was finely crushed icing sugar. , Sesame is very fragrant, sweet but not greasy.

Xie Tao's eyes glowed with surprise.

"How?" Qi Ji smiled and looked at her.

Xie Tao bit the cake, her voice is a little vague, "It's delicious..."

Hearing this, Qi Ji raised his eyebrows slightly, and was quite proud, "I'm not a gluttonous glutton. The delicacies I have eaten with this mouth must be real and delicious."

As the elder son of Nanping Hou's Mansion, he lived like an unruly swinger.

No one knows this. The elder son of Nanping Hou's Mansion is talented in calligraphy and painting, but he is a dude who has no intention of fame and pursues fun.

In the end he was so happy to be such a dude.

"Cousin comes from Yecheng, I don't know what kind of food there is in Yecheng?" Qi Ji began to ask Xie Tao again.

Xie Tao was stunned for a moment, with cake crumbs on her mouth. She paused for a while, and suddenly bit half of the cake in her hand and put it on the table, then turned and ran into the inner room.

Qi Ji didn't know why, but after a while he saw her run out again.

He was holding two boxes in his hands.

That was the gift Xie Tao brought to Qi Ji on New Year's Eve, but she hadn't come over for so many days and almost forgot about it.

At this moment, Xie Tao put the two boxes on the table and pushed them in front of Qi Ji.

"Is this for me?"

Qi Ji pointed to himself.

Xie Tao nodded, "This is a New Year's gift, which should have been given to you earlier, but..."

She scratched the back of her head, pursed her lips, and said vaguely, "Anyway, it was delayed."

At first hearing "New Year's Gift", Qi Ji's warm and moist eyes showed a bit of surprise.

He and this cousin have only met twice today, but unexpectedly, she actually prepared such a gift for him?

With more curiosity in his heart, Qi Ji immediately opened one of the boxes.

Then, he saw that there were square rows of small squares wrapped in kraft paper and bound with string.

He smelled a familiar smell.

So those eyes lit up, and he immediately removed one, and inside was the crisp candy he had snatched in Wei Yun's hands.

Holding the crisp candy, Qi Ji seemed to ponder for a moment. When he raised his eyes to Xie Tao, his expression became more profound, "This crisp candy, but you made it?"

Xie Tao picked up half of the cake on the table and took a bite, then nodded.

After getting an affirmative answer, Qi Ji squeezed the crisp candy for a while, suddenly let out a laugh, and the ink-like eyes were filled with clear light.

Well, you Wei Yanchen, you have already done such a job as Jinwu Zangjiao!

"Little cousin,"

Qi Ji took a bite of crisp candy, his eyebrows stretched, he suddenly asked, "Do you like Yanchen?"

With this sudden sentence, Xie Tao was choked instantly and coughed for a long time.

Outside the wide open door, it was still raining.

The sound of patter hits under the eaves, and falls into the pond reflecting the distant sky.

Qi Ji in the room looked at the girl coughing up tears for a long while, and poured another cup of hot tea for her.

When Xie Tao's fingertips touched the tea cup, they were shivered by the temperature of the cup wall.

Before Xie Tao could speak, Qi Ji bends the corners of his lips, "It seems that this is correct."

Qi Ji didn't know what the true identity of the "girl" who appeared suddenly was, but meeting Wei Yanchen might not be a good thing for her.

But at the same time, Qi Ji knew very well that perhaps for Wei Yanchen, it was his luck to meet such a girl.

Wei Yanchen, like a person, had too much burden on his back and concealed too much.

He is in purgatory and has never been liberated in half his life.

Qi Ji once thought that he was born with coldness, and this world of wind and dust, so much interesting, as if in his eyes, is nothing but a deserted snowfield.

And the reason why Qi Ji made him a friend,

It's just because, even if he no longer feels the enthusiasm of life and the warmth of the world, he still abides by his principles.

In fact, he is also sincere.

It's just this sincere sincerity that was his original intention of stepping on the blood and dry bones of countless people to protect it. It is definitely not kind.

Wei Yun was never an absolute good person.

He never takes advantage of truly innocent people.

But he will never let go of those who are evil with him, and he will never be merciless.

He has always been so decisive.

Qi Ji originally thought that according to Wei Yun's temperament, perhaps this life would be destined to be alone.

However, such a little girl who seemed especially innocent and innocent appeared inexplicably beside him.

But when Qi Ji looked at the little girl steadily at this moment, he suddenly felt in his heart that everything seemed to be reasonable.

One is the scarred and devastated black.

One is like white snow, crystal clear white.

Perhaps only such a pure enough girl can resolve Wei Yun's years of pain.

There is no need for her to think about it, think about it, and be the so-called help by his side.

As long as she is such a simple enough girl, she is very good.

Like the side of the table, the slightly warm lights flickered.

Like in the falling sky of the courtyard, the stars that shed every inch of light and shadow.

Like a cup of warm tea in the middle of the winter in the middle of the night.

Why she?

When Qi Ji was looking at the girl who was eating sugar pie, he knew in his heart.

"I've seen both sides, I haven't asked her cousin's name?" Qi Ji asked with a smile when she saw her burying her head in the sugar pie, and was no longer obsessed with the previous topic.

"Xie Tao." She replied quietly.

When Qi Ji heard the name, he raised his eyebrows slightly, "It's a good name."

People are simple, and her name is as simple as hers.

"Qi Mingxu."

At that time, Wei Yun's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

It seemed to be somewhat displeased, slightly cold.

Qi Ji heard this, and when he turned his head, he saw Wei Yun stepping in the door.

The black cloak draped on his body has been soaked by the rising rain, and the corners are still dripping, and the long hair draped behind him will inevitably be soaked by the rain that blows into the edge of the umbrella.

"Wei Yun!" When Xie Tao saw Wei Yun, she gnawed a small piece of candy in her hand and put it on the kraft paper on the table, then stood up and ran in front of him.

This scene fell in Qi Ji's eyes, causing him to raise his eyebrows in an instant.

When Wei Yun saw Xie Tao running over and reaching out to pull his sleeves, he stretched out his hand and pointed his fingertips on her forehead, making her stop there for a while, separated from him by an arm's distance.

"I'm cold." He explained briefly.

Then he glanced indifferently at Qi Ji who was sitting there, walked slowly to the screen, untied the neckband, and put the cloak directly on the screen.

"Yanchen, you are kind to cousin Taotao, so why do you treat me like this?" Qi Ji sighed while eating the crisp candy.

Hearing this, Wei Yun suddenly looked at him when he turned around, with a strange expression on his face, "What do you call her?"

Qi Ji said frankly, "You and I are friends, Taotao is your cousin, and naturally my cousin."

Wei Yun's eyes were clear and cold, and when he heard the words, he narrowed slightly.

"..."

Xie Tao felt that the atmosphere in the room was a little weird, so she walked over in silence, sat down and continued to eat cakes.

Wei Yun saw the two boxes of crisp candy on the table in front of Qi Ji. Before he said anything, Qi Ji noticed his gaze, and quickly closed the lid of the box, and then moved in front of him.

"Wei Yanchen, these are all given to me by my cousin Taotao." He said vigilantly.

Then he simply stood up holding the box, and didn't forget to take his jade-bone fan on the table, "It's not early, I'm going back to my home for lunch, the food in your national teacher's home is really hard to swallow. ,"

As he said, he looked at Xie Tao and smiled at her, "Sister Taotao, I will come again next time and take you to the family banquet in my Hou Mansion."

At that time, when his voice fell, he saw Wei Yun's eyes swept, so he couldn't help but raised his lips again, only said "goodbye", turned and went out the door.

When Wei Jing, who was guarding the door, saw Qi Ji walk out, he immediately took the paper umbrella placed on the railing and stretched it out, "Shi Ziye, your subordinates will send you out."

Qi Ji nodded and looked back into the study door, with a gentle smile on his lips.

"Let's go." He said, and stepped down the stone steps.

Wei Yun inside the door saw Qi Ji leave. When he tilted his head and lowered his eyes, he saw the icing debris remaining on the girl's mouth. He took out a Jinpa and wiped it for her.

Xie Tao sat there obediently, her eyes staying in front of Wei Yun for a moment.

Until Wei Bo hurriedly walked from the rain curtain, stood outside the door and said, "My lord, Princess He Yu sent a post, inviting the young lady to go to Meiyuan to participate in the poetry meeting in the future."

Upon hearing this, Wei Yun retracted his hand and placed Jinpa on the table. Then he raised his eyes to look at Uncle Wei outside the door and said directly, "Push it away."

"I told the people directly, saying that Miss Biao had a relapse of her old illness. Now she is lying in bed for training and she is not good enough."

Weibo immediately bowed his head, "Yes."

Then he turned around and rushed into the rain with an umbrella.

"princess?"

That is the emperor's daughter, a real princess.

"She is the fourth woman born in the current sage. She is quite famous in the Great Zhou due to her poetic talent and her appearance." Wei Yun explained.

Poetry and appearance are both unique?

Xie Tao nodded, then looked at him again, "In other words, not only is she very good at writing poems, but she is also very beautiful?"

Wei Yun did not refute.

Xie Tao looked at him for a while, and then suddenly asked him, "Have you seen her?"

"It's just a matter of fate." Wei Yun replied briefly.

"Why did she invite me to some poetry meeting? I don't know how to write poetry..." Xie Tao asked suspiciously.

She even recites poems is a difficult task, let alone compose poems.

"Xu is curious, and maybe there are other purposes that are unknown."

Wei Yun put the tea cup to his lips, took a sip, and then said, "No matter what, you don't have to go."

From the very beginning, he didn't intend to involve her in these complicated things, so if he could prevent her from showing up on these occasions, he would try his best to avoid her.

"I really want to know what this princess looks like..." Xie Tao said with one hand supporting her chin.

She hasn't seen a real princess yet.

She is still the princess who is so brilliant in this rumors.

But in this case, she was just talking about it.

Since the last Lantern Festival, she has stopped mentioning things to go.

No matter how many winds and waves there are outside, he did not hesitate to block her out, and would never allow her to fall into his vortex.

In Xie Tao's world, life is sometimes difficult, but he doesn't have so many intrigues with life as a price here.

She understood his difficult situation and was unwilling to let him suffer a loss because of her.

So she decided to put away all curiosity about the world and just look at him.

These are all thoughts that Xie Tao kept in her heart and never told him.

When Wei Yun heard her, when he turned his head to look at her, his eyes seemed to be a little bit of a smile, his knuckles were slightly bent, and he knocked on her forehead lightly, "No matter how beautiful the skin is, a hundred years After that, it's just the same red face and withered bones. What is there to be curious about?"

Xie Tao shook her head when she heard what he said.

Isn't he the kind of person who "looks good without knowing it"?

"Only good-looking people are qualified to say such things. We are afraid to say that if we are ugly." Xie Tao took a piece of cake by herself and fed it to her mouth.

Wei Yun suddenly grabbed her wrist.

The other hand immediately squeezed her chin. When Xie Tao was stunned, he had already looked at her carefully, and then he seemed to be meditating for a while, and finally came to a conclusion:

"Why are you ugly?"

Just a simple four-word questioning, Xie Tao blushed in an instant, her eyes blinked and blinked, even if she tried her best to bear it, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

He is complimenting me for looking good...

She was full of words like this.

At this moment, it is already noon.

The rain outside the eaves seemed to have a tendency to stop finally, and at this time, the girl whose chin was pinched by him was gradually wrapped in golden light, and the whole body seemed to have a light golden streamer flowing every inch.

It's time for parting again.

For a while, the two sat facing each other, but they were speechless.

"Wei Yun..."

The girl snorted, her eyes clearly showing dissatisfaction.

Finally she hugged him, leaned against his chest, and said softly, "Goodbye."

The faint and soft voice seemed to be still in his ears, but she was no longer in his arms.

It was as if she had never existed in this world at this moment.

Like a dream that is difficult to wake up,

He is separated from him by the galaxy between dreams and reality.
