Wishful Things

"I still want to remind Mr. Wu that Akui saw that talisman once before, and she said that it was not a safety talisman, but a...marriage talisman from Qingyu Temple."

While Xu Mingyi was speaking, he paid close attention to the young man's expression, and saw that his expression froze.

Marriage talisman?

Or Qingyu Temple?

"I didn't know about this at first." Wu Chao came back to his senses, and quickly explained: "I really thought it was a safety talisman, so I gave it to you."

He, a man, personally gave the girl a marriage talisman, does that make sense? ——It really doesn't appear that he is too eager to marry a wife?

Cough, although thinking about it now... this talisman seems to be quite effective.

"It's okay, I guess it's because Shizi's wife is afraid that you won't take it with you, so she just said it's a safety talisman, and it's also the elder's wish." Xu Mingyi said.

According to this person's personality, if he was told directly that it was a marriage talisman, he might throw away the talisman together with his clothes in disgust, right?

Wu Chao only nodded and didn't say much, but in his heart he rarely agreed with his mother's wise move.

It was a bit chilly at night in autumn, and the wind blew from high places from time to time. Xu Mingyi rolled up his clothes and hugged his arms.

Wu Chao subconsciously looked at his robe.

What he wore today was a robe, not a cloak, and he did not wear a cloak—

It was obvious that if he took off his clothes and put them on with her, not only would he not show his grace and kindness, but it would also make the situation unspeakable, and even send him to the government because of his behavior.

"It's getting late, I'll take Miss Xu back home." The young man said without delay.

Even if he really wanted to stay with her for a few more hours, he didn't want her to suffer from the cold here.

He was not such a delicate person before.

As for himself, it doesn't matter if it's colder, it's just that a normal perception is amplified.

But for some reason, when it came to her, it made him feel a stronger intolerance than sympathy—Is it so trivial and worrying to like someone, but to hate her for suffering?

Is this a husband or a mother?

The inexperienced teenager suddenly became worried about his future.

"Alright, Mr. Wu has to go on his way tomorrow."

While Wu Chao was lost in thought, Xu Mingyi stood up.

Seeing that the Celestial Eye beside her didn't move, she picked up the bird and hugged it in her arms.

The corners of Wu Chao's mouth twitched slightly.

Sure enough, his previous judgment was not wrong.

"Miss Xu doesn't have to spoil it like this." Looking at the big bird with its eyes closed comfortably in the girl's arms, the boy said calmly.

"It's dark here, it can't see the road clearly at night, and it doesn't get tired after holding it for a while." Xu Mingyi walked and said: "What's more, it can warm your hands."

warm hands?

Wu Chao glanced at her.

If you really need to warm your hands, he can do that too.

The two quickly went down from the city tower, and returned to the place where the carriage stopped just now without stopping.

Xu Mingyi first stuffed Tianmu into the carriage, he didn't rush up, and said to Wu Chao: "Mr. Wu, just go back to the palace, so you don't have to see me off."

She never felt that she was someone who needed to be given away, and it was almost as good as letting her give it away to others.

"No problem."

The young man had already got on the horse, and said as if it was a matter of business: "Besides, I promised Brother Ling that I will personally send Miss Xu back to the residence.

Xu Mingyi took another look at him.

All right, as long as he doesn't find it troublesome or tiring.

"Then there will be Mr. Wu."

The carriage drove all the way in the direction of Zhen Guogong's mansion.

Sitting on the horse, Wu Chao felt the cool night breeze blowing, but he still couldn't calm down his disturbed heart.

Before he knew it, the town government's mansion had arrived.

Wu Chao felt that this section of the road was extremely short.

He got off the horse, only to see Xu Mingyi walking towards him, and said goodbye to him earnestly: "Thank you, Mr. Wu, for sending me back. This trip is back to Ningyang, please take care."

Wu Chao nodded.

"You should be more careful in Beijing."

Xu Ming agreed, gave him a blessing, and then turned around with Ah Kui and Tianmu.

When she was about to walk away, she subconsciously turned her head back to look.

Under the moonlight, the young man was standing in the same place and watching her, his tall and straight figure was drawn into a long shadow under his feet.

Xu Mingyi was taken aback for a moment, but a smile appeared on his back, and he raised his hand and waved at him.

Seeing this scene, Wu Chao also smiled, and even his voice was unprecedentedly gentle, urging: "It's windy, let's go in."

This voice of concern was crushed by Night Breeze and sent to Xu Mingyi's ears. She was stunned for a moment, and then nodded to him from afar——

Immediately, he jumped over the wall and entered the mansion without any hesitation.

Wu Chao has become accustomed to this.

But...she seems to have forgotten that she is bringing that maid who doesn't know martial arts with her today?

Wu Chao looked at Ah Kui.

But I saw the little maid went around to the side of the courtyard wall, and brushed away a piece of grass with ease. At this time, there was a sound like a stone being removed from the courtyard, and the little maid then got in...

Wu Chao couldn't help being silent.

It was he who was worrying.

Those who know martial arts can climb over walls, and those who don't know martial arts can drill dog holes. There are always more methods than difficulties.

"Chirp—"

The birds chirped, and Wu Chao looked around, only to see Tianmu standing not far away, looking at him.

Seeing him looking over, the big bird seemed to be imitating Xu Mingyi's movements, and waved one big wing towards him.

Wu Chao smiled.

Not too heartless.

"Go."

Big Bird turned around obediently, his chubby back was staggering as he walked.

But seeing the big bird fly up to the base of the wall without knowing how to flap its wings, Wu Chao couldn't help thinking - could it be that he was reluctant to part with him? Still want to go back to Ningyang with him?

However, the idea didn't last long.

Tianmu walked all the way along the base of the wall, and finally got into the grass, and the bird's shadow disappeared into the dog hole.

At this moment, Wu Chao didn't have anything else to say except for a suggestion that "you can donate the wings to other birds if you don't need them".

He was supposed to get on his horse and leave, but instead he walked to the river.

Taking out the blood-stained handkerchief hidden in his bosom, the boy squatted down by the river, dipped the handkerchief into the water, and shook it back and forth seriously.

Xiao Qi, who was guarding in the dark, couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so she appeared on her body and said, "My lord, why don't I wash it for you?"

The boy's cool gaze swept over, and Xiao Qi quickly shrank his neck.

He is thinking that he is also a son now, and he wants to go back to Ningyang with the son. Is it wrong to be diligent?

But I still couldn't help reminding in a low voice: "Master, maybe you should try scrubbing..."

Rinse back and forth like this, it is not clean at all.

At first glance, young master, this is the first time he has no experience in washing things.

After Wu Chao heard that his subordinates paused, he glanced at the hidden guard's hands demonstrating the scrubbing movements, and then tried to learn.

His movements were clumsy, but he was rarely patient, and carefully controlled the strength of his hands, until he washed the square handkerchief clean as new, then nodded in satisfaction.

Seeing that there was a faint sense of self-appreciation of "As expected of me" on his young master's face, Xiao Qi was quite puzzled.

It's because he doesn't understand. Does mastering the skill of washing and cleaning help the descendants of King Dingnan?
