Wishful Things

Hearing footsteps, Wu Chao looked back.

"Master Wu is waiting for me?"

The girl stopped three steps away from him, her eyes and tone were calm and gentle, with a polite smile on her face.

Wu Chao was stunned.

He's just... enjoying the cool.

His father was summoned to discuss matters, and he didn't want to foolishly follow him back to the Jiaotai Palace. Seeing that this place was relatively clean, he happened to be able to ask him to clear his mind.

As for the girl talking in the pavilion not far away, he also vaguely heard it, but he didn't want to listen to it, so he didn't really listen to it, and he didn't know that there was a clear meaning in it.

But this Miss Xu walked up to him and said he was waiting for her?

Even if she really thought so, because of the reservedness of a girl, wouldn't it be reasonable to pretend to meet her by chance?

... The other party's straightforwardness and confidence are also rare in the world.

He is not a person who beats around the bush, especially when facing a girl who is very likely to like him——

The word "isn't" came to his lips, but because he spoke a step too late, the other party took the lead and said, "It just so happens that I also have something to say to Mr. Wu."

"oh?"

Wu Chao was immediately on guard.

This girl Xu is bold and straightforward, isn't she going to show her heart to him?

"The big bird raised by Mr. Wu has to go to Zhen Guogong's mansion every day, at least in the morning and in the evening, and sometimes it will stay outside my window all night." Xu Mingyi said.

"..." Wu Chao was silent.

He said how sometimes he didn't see any birds for most of the day——

What exactly does this stupid bird mean, is it planning to change its master for itself?

"Sometimes it makes a lot of noise, and it has been seen several times by my servants."

Hearing this, Wu Chao could only take responsibility and said, "It's because I'm incapable of discipline... I disturbed your residence."

"It's okay to be disturbed." Xu Mingyi said frankly: "It's just that it is fat and eye-catching, and I can't protect it all the time. If something goes wrong in the Zhen Guogong's mansion, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it to Mr. Wu."

The day before yesterday, she overheard the servants talking about how to catch the vulture that often came, and how to eat it after catching it. There was a dispute at one point - some wanted to roast it, some wanted to eat it. They wanted to make soup, and in the end they reached a consensus because the bird was fat enough to roast half of it and make soup with the other.

What she said this time was also out of consideration for the other party's life.

Wu Chao, who did not expect to hear such a sentence, was stunned for a moment.

It is indeed worthy of being a general family, whether it is for people or birds, it is really a dangerous place.

"Thank you Miss Xu for reminding me, I will be restrained later."

"By the way, I haven't asked whether Mr. Wu is waiting here, but what do you want to say to me?" Xu Mingyi asked instead.

Wu Chao paused.

The girl waited for his answer seriously.

Wu Chao swallowed the sentence "Miss Xu misunderstood", and a look of inquiry gradually appeared in his eyes: "...tonight, Miss Xu came forward to save the prince, which surprised Wu. Originally, Wu thought that Miss Xu was not Meddlers."

He classified saving the prince as "nothing".

It was not out of arrogance that he said this, but he had no intention of concealing the fact that he had heard Xu Mingyi's conversation with Lord Zhen Guo that night. It was because of that conversation that he thought that the girl from the Xu family was guarded and didn't seem like she could do anything. The person who made such an outstanding move tonight.

Xu Mingyi wasn't surprised either, he smiled and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Wu to meddle in this business."

"..." Wu Chao couldn't help but choked.

He wasn't a meddler in the first place—but who let his aunt's eyes hint at him.

"So, there are exceptions to everything, and human principles will not remain the same." Xu Mingyi said.

She admitted that at first she did have the idea of ​​staying on the sidelines, and also admitted that when she decided to save the prince, she had a slight impulse to act emotionally.

People who have never met are often easy to talk about. But she saw that boy in the garden, and after hearing what he said, something quietly changed.

She also killed many people in her previous life, so she can't be called soft-hearted and kind-hearted, but she is willing to accept people's swaying calmly as long as it doesn't damage the overall situation.

Maybe it was because of her own guidance in the dark, she saved the prince by a single thought, and also changed the situation. Some truths may become clearer as soon as possible——

Wu Chao also smiled noncommittally.

He felt that the girl in front of him had obvious contradictions, but she herself blended all kinds of contradictions very skillfully and freely.

She was the one who talked with the elders about the overall situation and had far-reaching concerns, and it was she who was so excited after rescuing the prince.

Now the contradiction disappeared, replaced by a rare freedom.

He had never seen such a man.

"Aren't you afraid of causing trouble?" He is a person who doesn't want to talk nonsense, and he has never talked with others, but now somehow, when he came to his senses, the words had already come out of his mouth.

Saving the crown prince was a great achievement, so it wouldn't be troublesome, but he knew that the person in front of him would definitely understand.

"Afraid."

Xu Mingyi lowered his voice and said: "But I also thought about it at the time, I saved the crown prince on the bright side, so it would not make people feel strange, even if the person who did it was really suspicious, he would definitely not dare to take it seriously. Those who attack me are at most just secretly probing for a while, and I am sure I can handle it."

As he said that, he said again: "If you really try to find out, it might not be a good thing, maybe I can follow the clues to find out something."

Wu Chao laughed.

In the girl's tone, there was a sense of "as long as the sheep came to the door, she would definitely grab a handful of them".

"According to what you say, the other party may even steal chickens or lose money?"

The boy was half joking, but gradually put away his rare smile.

wrong--

Are they familiar?

This girl Xu has a layered mind and a strong ability to distinguish situations. She is undoubtedly a smart person.

But how could a wise man express these thoughts unreservedly to a person he had only met twice?

And he... was almost led astray by her, and just now he really felt that the two of them were very familiar, that they could talk heart to heart, and even have a very happy conversation.

Just when the young man felt very strange, he heard the girl say in a low voice: "To be presumptuous, I want to ask Mr. Wu for help—"

She didn't want to ask him for help at first, but she just ran into him and said these words again.

Wu Chao's heart skipped a beat.

Why do I suddenly feel that I have also become a fat sheep that is delivered to her door and is not in vain in her eyes...?

"Miss Xu might as well talk first and listen."

This little girl gave him too evil a feeling, it was not as simple as just falling in love with him, he had to cheer up and be careful.
