Wishful Things

Forget it, anyway, the relationship between him and this bird is based on mutual use, and choosing to ignore each other at the right time is also a good choice.

"I really forgot about it." Xu Mingyi turned his head to look in the direction of the carriage, and said with a smile, "Since it is still willing to follow me back, then let it go."

She didn't realize that she forgot to bring the bird when she got there halfway, but if she went back to pick it up, she didn't think it was necessary.

As for whether she would be sad tomorrow if she didn't take the bird back - she had thought about it, but she still didn't think it was necessary.

"Miss Xu—"

Hearing this call, Xu Mingyi turned around.

In the line of sight, the young man's expression was extremely serious: "I will go to the capital to find you after I have settled the matter in front of me."

He liked her, very much.

But from the very beginning, he was very clear about the kind of "intention" that this liking was based on - he wanted to guard her, protect her, rather than drag her into the unknown danger and abyss .

Looking at each other, Xu Mingyi smiled and nodded: "Okay."

Her tone was relaxed and casual, but there was seriousness in her eyes: "Then I'll wait for you."

She will wait for him to come to the capital to find her.

"But don't make me wait too long." After answering, she added a sentence, as if half-joking.

Although it is the first time for her to fall in love with someone, since she has opened her orifice, she may not be able to hold it back. If she turns around and sees another young man who finds it pleasing to her eyes... then it can't be blamed on her not being dedicated enough. love.

"I will not keep you waiting."

Wu Chao looked at her with a serious expression, as if he was promising something.

Facing such a pair of eyes full of sincerity and courage, Xu Mingyi felt some inexplicable emotions surging in her heart, and even suddenly made her inexplicably feel like her nose was sore, but it was clearly more joy and emotion——

There was a boy, in order to be able to walk with her, while maintaining his sanity, he seemed to have made up his mind to overcome all difficulties.

In comparison, it seemed that she was going to sit back and enjoy what she had done.

However, since they like each other, how can there be any reason for him to run to her alone, while she just stands there and waits for him to come over?

Therefore, she will definitely not do nothing in the capital—she has to make her own efforts to get closer to him.

Because, if you really want to be together, the fastest way is to go in both directions, isn't it?

The girl unconsciously clenched her fingers covered by the wide sleeves, and she felt that her heart also grew strength along with him.

The two stood facing each other, their hearts were surging, but they were all hidden in their eyes, they just looked at each other and smiled.

"Let's send it here." Xu Mingyi said: "I have to continue on my way, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to make it to the hotel before dark."

Wu Chao nodded.

"Okay, don't worry on the way, when you arrive in Beijing, remember to write to me—"

Xu Mingyi responded with a smile: "Understood, go back quickly."

Wu Chao couldn't help but take a deep look at her.

You think he's long-winded, and you're starting to get impatient?

"I'm leaving?"

Xu Mingyi nodded: "Be careful on the road."

Wu Chao got on his horse and went.

However, when he was about to leave, he saw her jumping out of the carriage again and walking quickly in his direction.

Seeing this, Wu Chao felt a little puzzled, so he sat on the horse and waited for her.

"Take it on the road and eat it, it's still hot."

Xu Mingyi handed the shortbread wrapped in parchment paper to the boy on the horse.

He came to chase her in a hurry, probably because he didn't even have time to eat breakfast, and it would take more than an hour to return to the city here, and the weather was cold, so it would be a pain if he didn't eat something to make a cushion——

Wu Chao reached out and took it.

Sure enough, it was still hot.

The two talked for a while.

Qin Wu on the side was so anxious that he wanted to scratch his head.

Didn't he already said he was going to leave just now, why did he say it again by sending a sesame seed cake?

After eating sesame seed cakes later, do you still need to drink water when you are thirsty? The girl brought another pot of water, and she had to talk for a while?

Is it over yet?

Fortunately, his girl was much more straightforward than he imagined when facing beauty, so she waved goodbye to Wu Shisun not long after.

Watching Xu Mingyi return to the carriage, Wu Chao stepped aside and made way for the group of people.

Seeing Qin Wu looking over, Wu Chao held the rein and cupped his hands towards him.

Qin Wu returned a salute expressionlessly, and rode away with his horse.

When the carriage that Xu Mingyi was riding passed by, the young man whose eyes had been following the carriage, suddenly saw the small hollowed-out carved window being pushed open, and the windshield curtain hanging inside the window was also pulled up— —

Before the cloak on the girl sitting in the car could be taken off, her face was enclosed in a fluffy fur collar, her eyes became darker, her lips became redder, and the smile on her cheeks became more pleasant.

She smiled and waved to him.

Wu Chao also raised his hand.

It wasn't until the carriage went far away that the group of people and horses almost disappeared from sight, the boy turned his horse's head and rushed back towards Ningyang City.

He could feel that the distance between him and her was getting farther and farther.

But he won't let the reunion be too late.

...

On the way back to Beijing, Xu Mingyi was far less anxious than when he came here. Most of the nights were spent in inns to rest, and there was no such thing as rushing overnight.

Under such circumstances, after careful calculation, it took half a month on the road.

On this day, a group of people rushed into the city before noon.

When they returned to Zhen Guogong's mansion, the Xu family, who had received the letter in advance, were already waiting outside the door.

When Xu Mingyi got off the carriage, he saw his grandfather waiting outside in the lead, as well as his father and mother, and even his second uncle - did the second uncle stop confinement because of her?

Xu Mingyi was surprised, but also moved.

She just went out to play, and this battle almost caught up with the situation of her grandfather's triumphant return.

And even Mr. Yao was here——

However, why did Mr. Yao frequently look behind her?

Could it be...does Mr. Yao think she will bring anything or someone back?

"Why do you look so thin?"

Cui stepped forward, frowned and sighed: "Why did you delay coming back until now? It's winter, how can being outside compare to being at home? Isn't this just making a mistake for yourself?"

"I got playful for a while..." Xu Mingyi smiled and said, "It's hard to go out—"

Xu Jin couldn't help but sighed and said, "If you want to go out, when can't you go out?"

Is there anyone in this family who can control his daughter from going out?

"Is there anything that you can't go in and talk about?" The old man said, beckoned to his granddaughter, and said with a smile in his eyes: "It's windy outside, hurry up and go in with grandfather."

Xu Mingyi nodded with a smile, and walked quickly towards the old man.

At this moment, a figure suddenly came out of the courtyard in a hurry.

Xu Mingyi heard the footsteps, and subconsciously raised his eyes to look over.

It was a young woman wearing a black embroidered white plum cloak.

——Who is this?
