The official hat rolled towards Xia Ji's feet, Xia Yan put his hands on the top of his crumbling hair and bowed to chase after him. Xia Ji was incredible and got up to dodge like a madman. Fortunately, the official hat was covered by a piece of his rich wooden chair. The legs blocked the way, and finally stopped.

Xia Yan breathed a sigh of relief, squatted down and hugged the official hat in his arms, patted it carefully back and forth, then pressed it on the top of his head again, stepped back, straightened his official uniform, and inhaled solemnly. Said: "The next official has seen the prince."

Xia Ji sniffled his nostrils, flung his sleeves and sat back on the chair, and said, "What trick are you playing?"

"No tricks!" Xia Yan lowered his eyes, smoothed out what he was going to say in his heart, and said, "The lower official arrested someone and came back. It is very likely that the prince's concubine was abducted by him. As a result, the trial just started, the prince was arrested. Here we come, the lower officials are busy coming to see you, so we haven't asked the key yet. Why don't you ask the lord to wait patiently for a while, let the lower officials go back and finish interrogating that person? Or directly bring him up to the court and have him interrogated in front of the lord?"

Since Xia Ji used looking for a concubine as an excuse, it is untenable not to allow him to interrogate the suspect, but the so-called letting him go back to interrogate the case is obviously an excuse for escape, Xia Ji will naturally not be willing, so the only thing left is to bring him to court This is the only option.

In this way, if Xia Ji really colluded with Boss Xin, his vest would be more or less exposed when he met him; if there was no collusion, then this move would not only be of no benefit to Xia Ji, but it might also reveal that the concubine's disappearance was a fiction.

Xia Yan felt that he was getting smarter and smarter recently, and secretly complacent, he saw Xia Ji hesitated, and looked back at the scribe behind him. The scribe said something to him in a low voice. After he hesitated for a while, his expression became certain, and said: "Xuanwu county magistrate, I have some confidential official affairs to discuss with you."

This is going to tear your face apart.

Xia Yan thought that it would be best not to involve everyone in the county government, so he immediately asked everyone to retreat.

The doors and windows around were closed, and when he faced Xia Ji again, he stood tall and straight with a stern face, and all the respect and caution that belonged to the magistrate of the small county that he had pretended before disappeared.

The hatred in Xia Ji's eyes also deepened, and he said arrogantly: "Xia Yan, don't think that I can't do anything to you if you just say a few words."

Xia Yan was too lazy to talk to him, and remained silent as if he didn't hear him.

Xia Ji said again: "I heard that you have captured a businessman who is tyrannical in Huzhou and no one dares to mess with it? You are capable. But be careful that you are not capable enough, and the credit is not awarded. Instead, you will pay for yourself. At that time, the king will not be able to do it himself. Killing you is also a pity."

Xia Yan said coldly: "The prince is too worried."

Xia Ji lowered his head, turned a gemstone finger with his overlapping hands, and said unhurriedly: "You can let me go back today, but what about tomorrow? The day after tomorrow? Either I was backlashed by my own arrogance, or I was I punish you, Xia Yan, you have no way out."

"So why did the prince come to remind me?" Xia Yan raised her eyebrows and smiled indifferently, "If it is true as you said, shouldn't you stay in the county prince's mansion to applaud you? Now rushing to my place, Why do I look a little like I want to die, but I can't die anyway, are you jumping over the wall in a hurry?"

"You!" Xia Ji was furious, got up and pulled out the sword of the bodyguard behind him, and raised it at Xia Yan!

Xia Yan quickly backed away, and at the same time only heard the sound of "whoosh", a black jade flying locust stone precisely hit the hilt in Xia Ji's hand, Xia Ji shook his hand, let go, and the long sword "clanged" Landing, buzzing and shaking.

Xia Yan gasped and turned her head in surprise, only to see the side door opened and Cheng Xi came out with his hands behind his back.

"Cheng Xi?" Xia Ji's eyes were full of surprise, even a trace of fear, and his voice became weaker, "Aren't you... stupid?"

Cheng Xi bowed politely to Xia Ji, neither arrogant nor humble: "If you go back to the prince, the subject is already healed."

Xia Ji took a step back, "... just agree?"

Cheng Xi smiled lightly, "It can be said that it is stupid if you say it is stupid, but naturally you can also say it is good."

Xia Ji was slightly taken aback, not sure whether there was any deep meaning in these words.

Xia Yan quickly ran to Cheng Xi's side, stood side by side with him, secretly pulled down his sleeve, and said in a low voice: "Didn't you be told to come out? Why are you disobedient? I'll take care of everything!"

Cheng Xi looked at him tenderly, and said, "It's still close."

Xia Yan: "???"

Cheng Xi walked towards Xia Ji, and said: "I heard that the prince is very worried about the disappearance of his concubine. After a three-day deadline, I also helped the county magistrate to look for it. Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."

Xia Ji was shocked immediately, "You, what do you mean?!"

Cheng Xi lowered his expression, "It means that I have found the lady, and if necessary, I can send it to the prince at any time."

Xia Ji gritted his teeth in disbelief and said, "Cheng Xi, you, don't talk nonsense!"

Cheng Xi smiled, "If you don't believe me, you can try it."

Xia Ji's eyes widened, and his complexion changed suddenly.The scribe behind him pulled him, he managed to calm down, thought for a while, then shook his sleeves and said, "Forget it today! Let's go!" He turned around and walked away with his men.

Xia Yan: "??????"

He ran to the door, opened his mouth and poked his head to look back and forth, making sure that Xia Ji and the others had left completely. When he came back, he looked at Cheng Xi in surprise, and asked, "What were you guys doing just now?"

He originally thought that he was already quite smart, but every time he was outsmarted by Cheng Xi!No, it is a lot of chips!Let him love and hate!

Xia Yan eagerly awaited the answer, Cheng Xi looked at him inscrutablely for a while, but said: "Let's not talk about this now." Turning around and walking aside.

"Ah?!" Xia Yan was surprised, and ran to hold Cheng Xi's sleeve and circle him around, "Say it! I want to hear it!"

"It's very boring." Cheng Xi held down the person jumping in front of him and coaxed, "I don't want to talk to you about this, just scare him away."

Xia Yan lowered his head and pursed his lips, and said with a look of disappointment, "Why not..."

He is obviously wearing an official uniform, but with a pile of messy hair on his head, a face that still smells like makeup, and such an expression of aggrieved and dependent, just like a child who has stolen an adult's clothes.

Cheng Xi was excited when he saw it, and said seriously: "Daddy and father have been married for 25 years. When they are together, they never talk about business unless necessary. I think this is very good."

Cheng Xi began to make analogies after a long absence.

Today's Xia Yan is no longer as at a loss as before. He thought carefully about Cheng Xi's words, and said, "You mean when you were at home? But now you are in the classroom, and you are talking about official business."

"But it's just you and me." Cheng Xi looked at Xia Yan with firm eyes and a solemn tone.

Xia Yan was taken aback: What do you mean by saying half and half?

It's just you and me, isn't it in the hall?

Or……

Just you and me, is it equal to being at home?

Thinking of this, Xia Yan's breath became stagnant, and his cheeks slowly turned red.

He raised his eyes, and his eyes met Cheng Xi's who had been watching him all the time. His chest seemed to be hit by something suddenly, and he subconsciously turned his head to look elsewhere, only gazing at Cheng Xi's figure from the corner of his eye.

The heart was beating wildly, the sound was deafening in this empty and quiet courtroom, as if it was about to pop out of the throat in the next moment!

It was only then that he truly realized that although it was less than ten days since Cheng Xi recovered from his illness and left without saying goodbye, nearly a year had passed since Cheng Xi returned from Qingzhou when they studied together in the palace. And it was three years since they separated from Li, and furthermore, it had been almost four years since the first encounter when they picked up gold hairpins on the Qingxi River in late spring.

As time went by, they met and separated and reunited several times. They were constantly changing, but one thing remained the same, and it became deeper and deeper.

Xia Yan stood with his hands down, his feet moving restlessly. He felt that he had a lot to say to Cheng Xi, and many questions to ask, but he didn't know where to start.

The more entangled, the more silent, the more silent, the more entangled!If this continues, he will go crazy!

He was thinking hard, and suddenly there was a "bang" on his head. He was startled, thinking that his head had really been smashed, he quickly hugged his head with both hands, and hurriedly scratched his body, and fell again when he caught it. It was only when he was wearing an official hat that he realized that his hair was completely loose.

Right in front of Cheng Xi, how embarrassing!

With a red neck, he turned around and rushed into the side door and ran towards the small courtyard, leaving only a broken sentence "Don't follow" floating in the courtroom.

However, it still has to be relative after all.

In the bedroom late at night, the two bathed and changed one after another, one sat on the bed and the other sat on the couch.

The hazy yellow light on the table and the white peony in the corner pot also shine together, covering a gentle and beautiful luster.

Xia Yanying's white feet were put together, the corners of her eyes were drooping, and she thought over and over again——

What should I say?

Where have you been recently?

What does "very confusing" mean on the note?

It's late to bed, right?

Come and sleep together?

Would this be too proactive?

But they already...should be the kind of relationship that will come naturally, right?

But do you still want to say something crucial to confirm?

Cheng Xi is a gentleman, so he must be very concerned about these things.

In fact, I also care about it, after all, if, if I can hear Cheng Xi say those two words to him, or even that one word...

I am really happy.

The small lamp is still burning, and the candle flame is flickering.

Xia Yan was thinking all over the sky, and suddenly heard a low and low but resounding call from the front——

"Yan Er."

"...Ah, ah?!" He raised his eyes in a daze, and saw Cheng Xi sitting under the lamp, as if bathed in the most beautiful light in the world, his handsome eyebrows and eyes were extremely gentle.

His heart immediately melted, his legs became weak, his whole body was sweating again, his lips trembled and touched up and down, and he stammered: "What, what's wrong..."

Cheng Xi got up and walked towards him, his eyes were affectionate and persistent, Xia Yan's breath was stagnant, and he thought it was this moment!

……

Suddenly, the door panel was knocked frantically!

The two were stunned, Cheng Xi went to open the door a little, and just asked "Who is there", the door was pushed open with a "wow", and the bench, Ayu, the owner of the lumber yard, several workers, and the private school teacher were all in the same room. Several students rushed in at the same time, held down Cheng Xi together, and pulled him out!

"Big man, you are finally back!" the bench cried.

"It's saved, it's saved! I have nearly a hundred bills on hand!" Ayu was overjoyed!

"I'm in a hurry! A new class will start tomorrow! The textbook has not been copied yet!" Mr. Private School dragged.

"I have to pay the account tomorrow! If I don't pay the account, all the wages will not be paid!" said the owner of the timber yard.As soon as the workers heard this, they immediately squeezed forward and occupied a key position!

"Hey you guys!" Xia Yan followed out barefoot, watching Cheng Xi, who was wearing a jacket, being pulled by them with a look of surprise, and was about to be dragged out of the courtyard!

"Hey!" He anxiously looked left and right, not knowing whether to put on the shoes first or chase first.

Cheng Xi struggled in the crowd and shouted at him, "First, let's do this first! Things have to come to an end! See you tomorrow, at most the day after tomorrow, at the gate of Beicheng...I have something to tell you!"

"Cheng Xi—!"

The courtyard became quiet again, Cheng Xi was gone, Xia Yan couldn't believe it!

After panting for a while, he forced himself to accept the huge ups and downs in his heart, but he still couldn't accept it, so he kicked the wall hard for a while, until his feet turned blue. Yan, standing there humming, thinking: It turns out that random punches can really kill the old master, and passers-by can really snatch away the prospective husband!
