Wishful Things

Although his tone was gentle, he was also very serious, and he didn't mean to be joking at all.

Xu Mingyi was startled when he heard this—what do you mean...send him away too?

Isn't Ningyang his home?

How did you manage to say such faint and resentful words with such a serious look?

Looking at each other, his eyes were kind and persistent: "I can help you if I stay."

It's not that Second Uncle Xu and Mingshi are only a hindrance...

He just felt that anyone can leave now, but he must not.

Staying can help her - Xu Mingyi has no room to refute this sentence.

These days, if it weren't for him and the empress to help, she would not have been able to find Qiao Bing so smoothly and quickly enough, and get the ganoderma lucidum, which is the most important antidote.

He did help her a lot.

But every yard counts, she can't ignore his position and situation just because he can help her, pretend to be confused with understanding, and tie him to the dangerous place in the capital like this with his thoughts for her——

This is her idea.

But if he said it out, it would not be conducive to persuading him to go back, so he just said: "I can deal with the current situation, don't worry, I have a measure."

"I also have a measure."

Wu Chao has a stubborn personality, but he seldom uses it on her. It is rare for him to be so persistent: "Ningyang has my grandfather here, so it doesn't matter if I go back to the Yu clan a few days later. As for the capital—if you say no If it is stable, there are my aunt and empress dowager in the palace, and my father and mother outside the palace, so it doesn't matter if I have one more or one less. What's more, the current Emperor's goal is not the Wu family."

Therefore, whether he returns to Ningyang at this time will not have much substantial impact on the Wu family. His staying here was certainly an act of obedience, but it was also a decision within the range of choices he could make.

As for the grandfather, he will plead guilty after returning to Ningyang.

In this way, she should be able to understand that she doesn't have to bear any burden because of this, right?

Seemingly aware of the intention of his words, the girl looked at him and said, "No matter how much you say, it will be of no use to you."

"Who said that?" The boy's eyes dodged for a moment, but he still said, "At least I can feel at ease."

She didn't even think about it, let him go back to Ningyang alone, how could he rest assured about her?

So to put it bluntly, he did this just to make himself feel at ease, and it was even less worthy of any burden in her heart.

Hearing the word "Anxin" from his mouth, Xu Mingyi seemed to be hit by something in his heart. She was only talking to him about the pros and cons of the overall situation, but she ignored this point—just like when she went to Ningyang to look for him, she didn't care. No matter how many excuses you make, in the final analysis, it is just to make yourself feel at ease.

Seeing that she didn't respond for a while, Wu Chao then said: "Zhao Zhao, you don't have to always think of me as expensive, and if I'm a little dangerous, you want to push me out."

Instead, he was supposed to be at the front——

People always have things they want to protect, and they do something for the people and things they care about. This choice is so common that there is nothing worth talking about.

But she insisted on driving him away because of this natural thing.

Under the moonlight, looking at the young man's calm but seemingly unshakable eyes, Xu Mingyi's heart gradually relaxed like warm wind blowing waves.

"Aren't you going?" she asked.

Wu Chao answered without hesitation: "No."

I can't even drive away.

"Then let's not go." Xu Mingyi's tone was suddenly relaxed, and there was a smile in his eyes, but they were slightly red.

She seemed to have figured out something new about what kind of relationship between herself and Wu Chao should be, but she couldn't explain it for a while.

But she was very clear: "You stay and help me, and I will protect you."

The girl's eyes were red, like a joke, but also made people think it was the real idea, Wu Chao couldn't help laughing, and replied: "Then Miss Lao Xu will take care of her."

Hearing his answer, Xu Mingyi suddenly felt that Cai's words were a little funny.

The two looked at each other and smiled, but Wu Chao noticed that the smile of the girl in front of him was not completely relaxed.

This has been the case since Lord Zhen Guo left Beijing.

"Don't worry, Duke Ji has his own destiny." Wu Chao said softly.

This kind of consolation may sound a bit feeble, but I have done everything I can do now, and the rest can only be left to luck—and he once heard the Duke of the State say that Zhao Zhao is his lucky star and will always bring him happiness. Good luck, this time will be no exception.

"Well, I think so too." Xu Mingyi nodded with conviction in his voice.

At this moment, the boy's hands hanging by his side moved slightly.

He wanted to... hug her.

But in doing so, is it somewhat suspected of taking advantage of the situation, which is not done by a gentleman?

However, this thought reverberated in my mind for a moment, but it didn't play a decisive role after all.

Wu Chao took a step forward, and stretched out his hand to pull her into his arms. His movements were very gentle, as if he was trying to appease her uneasiness. Xu Mingyi stuck in front of him, and after a brief moment of stiffness, he felt exhausted and tense, as if being relieved little by little by some invisible force.

He didn't say anything, just hugged her gently like this.

Xu Mingyi stretched out his hand at some point and put it around behind him.

It seems that not all things in this world can be measured by common sense, and the bonds and interactions between people are really extremely mysterious.

The kindness and warmth emanating from the gentleness conveyed from the heart is enough to make everyone fall into it.

And such a mind is always the most powerful.

It is precisely because of such a beautiful power around her that she has always believed that everything will be fine. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, the end must be bright.

The family around her and Wu Chao gave her such strength.

And she has always wanted to be such a person in this life. Through her, people around her can feel the same way, but she doesn't know if she has achieved it.

"Chirp!"

A bird cry broke the quiet and soft atmosphere between the two.

Qi Qi followed the sound and turned his head to look, only to see Tianmu standing next to the two of them at some point, looking at them with his head stretched out, his round eyes full of doubts - why?

It just went into the yard, but after waiting for a long time, no one was found, so it got out again.

Xu Mingyi came back to his senses and let go of Wu Chao.

Wu Chao also withdrew his hands and put them behind his back, his body was still straight, but there was an unconcealable faint smile between his brows and eyes: "The wind is blowing, let's go in quickly. If there is anything, please send me a message."

"Okay, you go back to rest earlier."

Wu Chao responded and watched Xu Mingyi climb over the wall and enter.

It's not that no one opened the door for her. According to her, she did so because it was convenient and saved the effort of knocking and opening the door.

And it wasn't just him who watched Xu Mingyi jump in over the wall——
