Wishful Things

The two quietly looked at the bright and bright moon that seemed so close at hand, and for a while, no one made a sound to break this beautiful silence.

Until a black shadow flew over and landed firmly on the stone pier between the two of them.

"The Celestial Eye is here too."

Xu Mingyi smiled and touched the big bird's feathers.

If there is another Wu Ran, the promise of the previous life will be fulfilled exactly.

Wu Chao glanced at the bird squatting on the stone pier.

Why is this bird everywhere?

This position was vacated by him to avoid suspicion, why did it seem like it was specially reserved for it?

For some reason, this scene made him suddenly think of the chair that was always between his father and mother recently...

"The day before yesterday, Uncle Zhu told me that while searching for the whereabouts of Zhanyunzhu, he heard from fishermen in a nearby fishing village that someone came to ask about Zhanyunzhu not long ago—" Xu Mingyi turned to look at the boy, and asked : "I wonder if he belongs to Mr. Wu?"

If so, she should thank you.

If not, she should ask someone to investigate.

Because it was done quietly, and there was no decent result, Wu Chao subconsciously wanted to deny it, but he met her eyes, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

"it's me."

He said: "But nothing has been found out."

"Thank you." Xu Mingyi said earnestly, "Mr. Wu has really helped me a lot during these few months in Beijing."

"It's me who should thank Miss Xu. Miss Xu has taken care of me a lot these days."

Xu Mingyi smiled when he heard that.

Where does she have any care, but it's all ordinary things.

"Whenever the girl is free, you can also go to Ningyang for a stroll, and then I will be a landlord." Wu Chao invited.

She should like riding horses, and then he can take her to the horse farm outside the city to watch the sunset.

Xu Mingyi nodded with a smile, and said, "Okay, I will definitely go if I have the chance."

Wu Chao was not a person who talked politely. When he said that he invited her to go, he must have sincerely wanted her to go.

"The stars here are also very beautiful." She turned her gaze to the night sky again and said with emotion.

Wu Chao subconsciously looked at her from the corner of his eye.

In fact, he hasn't finished what he just said.

He was very happy to enter Beijing this time, and even a little... reluctant to leave.

The sky full of stars seemed to be reflected in her pupils, and the girl with a delicate profile under the moonlight looked much more peaceful than usual. She was dressed in an indigo blue man's robe, and her crow hair was tied up high, revealing a section of snow-white Delicate swan neck——

Seeing this, Wu Chao quickly turned his eyes away and sat upright.

see no evil...

But...she should be wearing a collared gown!

Wouldn't it be a disadvantage to be looked down upon so easily?

At this time, the vulture beside him suddenly called out.

Wu Chao frowned and looked at it, but saw that it was stretching its neck and staring at him.

Any questions?

Just as doubts arose in the bottom of my heart, there was an answer in the next moment.

There was a warm and cool feeling coming from the nostrils. The young man raised his hand to touch it lightly, and he saw a bright red color between his fingers.

Is he... nosebleed? !

Thinking of the snowy neck that he accidentally caught a glimpse just now, the boy blushed immediately.

He clearly... didn't have the slightest dirty idea!

"You have a nosebleed!"

Xu Ming was a little surprised by this scene, and got up quickly.

"Hurry up and raise your head—" She took out a plain blue handkerchief from her bosom as she spoke, and covered his nose for him.

Her touch made the boy even more flustered, and he hurriedly took his hand and pressed it himself.

Xu Mingyi gently patted his forehead with his fingers.

"I had nosebleeds when I was young, and that's what Aoi's mother did." She clapped and explained, "It would be better if I soaked it in cold water."

Wu Chao let out a "hmm" indiscriminately.

The girl leaned halfway and patted his forehead. Although she tried to keep a distance, she still made his heart beat faster and faster.

The young man faintly felt that if this went on like this, the unsatisfactory nosebleed might not be able to stop at all.

"I can just raise my head for a moment." Wu Chao said in a stiff voice.

Xu Mingyi withdrew his hand.

The incident happened suddenly, and she had the urge to be a doctor, and for a moment she forgot that the person in front of her never liked being touched by women.

But when the young man in front of him raised his head halfway, covered his nose with a handkerchief, and looked a little flustered, with a look of embarrassment that she had never seen before. It was completely different from the normal and decent indifference. Unable to hold back, he laughed unkindly twice.

Seeing her laughing, Wu Chao also felt that this scene was indeed a bit ridiculous, his eyes met, and he couldn't help laughing at himself.

It was rare to see him smile, so Xu Mingyi smiled and praised: "Wu Shisun should smile more, it's so pretty—"

It is undeniable that even such a distressed appearance is also very good-looking.

Hearing these words and looking at the smiling girl in front of him, the boy felt that something was breaking out of the ground very quickly in his heart, and it grew into a towering tree in just a short breath. The blossoming branches and leaves spread and grew rapidly, until they covered the beating heart in his chest, and even made him unable to breathe...

It felt so strange.

But he told him some answers very clearly.

For example, he suddenly understood why he was reluctant to leave the capital——

And why do I keep thinking about the food in Qingfenglou——

Why would you do something that has nothing to do with you...

It turned out that he never cared about these things, but because all of them... were related to Xu Mingyi in front of him.

This definite answer resounded in his mind, like a mountain collapsing, a boulder falling into a lake that was no longer calm, making the boy's heart feel like a drum beating.

——So, is this... the kind of liking mentioned in the scriptures?

For a moment he didn't even dare to look into those smiling eyes.

The bleeding slowly stopped.

Wu Chao, who was a bit out of his wits, loosened the veil and wiped the blood from his nose.

"There are still some here." Xu Ming pointed to the bridge of his nose.

Wu Chao raised his hand and wiped it.

"No, it's here—"

Wu Chao wiped it again, but the blood was still there.

"..." Looking at the bloodstains that couldn't be wiped away anyway, Xu Mingyi, who has always been impatient, couldn't help but ask, "How about I help you?"

"Um."

With his permission, she took a step forward and gently wiped away the bloodstain for him.

Wu Chao raised the corners of his lips almost imperceptibly.

Only then did Xu Mingyi sit back down again, and asked casually, "How could you suddenly have a nosebleed? Do you need me to feel your pulse?"

Wu Chao hurriedly said, "No need."

Then he explained for himself: "It must be because of the dryness of autumn."

At least in Miss Xu's heart, it must be like this, and it can only be like this.

Xu Mingyi nodded.

"In autumn and winter, the climate in central Beijing is indeed drier. It is not as humid as Ningyang. It is normal for Mr. Wu not to adapt. You should drink more water on weekdays."

"Miss Xu has been to Ningyang?" Wu Chao couldn't help asking.
