Frost shines on Qingcheng

The turbulence in the harsh environment of the sand sea in the past few days caused the wound on Shen Shuangzhao's right shoulder to fester badly.Although she was treated by a doctor after returning to Qingcheng, her right shoulder was still in severe pain, and she could only sleep on her side at night so as not to press the wound, and fell asleep cautiously.

In the dead of night, the maid guarding outside the hall saw the person who was about to kneel down in a hurry to salute, but the person raised his hand to signal them to keep silent.The door of the dormitory was then gently pushed open, and the moonlight outside the door cast a long shadow on the ground.

Luo Qi raised his foot and stepped over the threshold, his white skirt swaying slightly with the night wind.She took a deep breath and gently closed the door.Leaning her back against the door, she didn't know whether she was hesitating or lost in thought, and she walked towards the inner room after a while.

Shen Shuangzhao threw half of her body on the quilt, and the quilt in her arms seemed to be her warmest support.

With the faint moonlight and candlelight, Luo Qi faintly saw the person on the bed frowning.She stretched out her hand, and lifted Shen Shuangzhao's shirt little by little, and saw that the wound was wrapped in white gauze, with dark red blood stains faintly showing on the cloth.Hearing from the doctor that Shen Shuangzhao's arrow wound had penetrated from his back to his chest, Luo Qi was terribly worried and wanted to rush to Qingcheng at that time.But she was afraid that Shen Shuangzhao would get angry when she saw her, so she hesitated for so long, and gathered enough courage to come to see her at night.

Luo Qi's fingertips trembled, touching her wound lightly through a layer of gauze, but he didn't dare to use too much force for fear of hurting her.Shen Shuangzhao's chest rose and fell regularly with her breathing, and Luo Qi's fingertips slowly moved to her collarbone, feeling the warmth and delicateness of her body.

……

"She's so small..." Holding the delicate and delicate baby in his arms, Luo Qi, who was only seven years old, opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

"Be careful, don't drop the child." Luo Qi's father instructed.

Luo Qi poked the child's delicate cheek with his hand, and the sleeping child wriggled his lips very cutely.Luo Qi's heart almost melted, and he couldn't help but kiss the child's face again.

"I didn't see you liking children so much when Ah Ji was born, what's wrong with someone else?"

Luo Qi raised his chin and said, "Of course it's different. She's much cuter than Ah Ji, and she's good-looking." She lowered her eyes, with a loving and pity smile on her face, "She won't leave in the future. ?”

"Since Xiao Qi likes it, let's stay by your side. As a big sister, you have to take good care of her."

"She's mine now..." Luo Qi was excited and couldn't wait to swear sovereignty after hearing this, "She doesn't have a name yet, can she be called Wuyou, okay? You'er...my worry..." She looked at An's sleeping The child cried obsessively.

In front of the dark bed, Luo Qi closed her eyes, and the scenes were the memories of her and Shen Shuangzhao when she was a child: "Your..." She unconsciously called out softly, and when she opened her eyes again, she saw Shen Shuangzhao moving uneasily. He moved his body, but he didn't intend to wake up at all.Listening to her breathing, Luo Qi lay down beside her with his clothes on, and hugged her from her side against Shen Shuangzhao's back.

"You'er..." Luo Qi hugged her gently, sniffing the smell of Shen Shuangzhao's body, feeling a strange sense of satisfaction in his heart like a vine.The last time I hugged her like this was more than ten years ago, when she was still so small, like a docile kitten nestled by her side.In a blink of an eye, her You'er has grown up, taller than herself, but she is getting farther and farther away from her.

Looking back now, Luo Qi always regrets that the age difference between himself and Shen Shuangzhao is too great.When she was a child, Shen Shuangzhao was a babbling toddler; when she was a young girl, Shen Shuangzhao was still an ignorant child.And my feelings for her have changed with the passage of time, but I still can't get an equal response from the other party, so she is angry, angry, and jealous.

At that time, Luo Qi hadn't figured out her own feelings, let alone how to guide Shen Shuangzhao, so she, who had always had a bad temper, chose to vent her emotions harshly and impulsively to Shen Shuangzhao.It's just that when she was young, she didn't know that this would only be counterproductive.What's even more ridiculous is that after so many years, she realized that her feelings for Shen Shuangzhao turned out to be love a few days ago.

"Don't be afraid, you'll never be angry with you casually again." In the dark bedroom, Luo Qi seemed to be talking to Shen Shuangzhao, but also talking to himself.She straightened her neck and gently kissed Shen Shuangzhao's fair neck.

Shen Shuangzhao frowned in deep sleep, but her physical exhaustion kept her from sleeping restlessly.

Luo Qi hugged her for a long time, until dawn before leaving reluctantly.

The next day, Shen Shuangzhao woke up from the dream because of her dry throat. She didn't call the maid, and got out of bed with difficulty while clutching her right shoulder.She sat on the stool and poured water to drink.I always feel that just after waking up, there is a smell that does not belong to me on the bed, with a faint fragrance, but it is very strange.

"City Master, are you awake?" The maid came in and saw Shen Shuangzhao sitting on the stool with a pale face, she was worried for a moment, "Why did you get up? The doctor said that your body is very weak, you'd better lie down and have a good rest during this time."

Shen Shuangzhao ignored her words, pressed the cup to his lips, rolled his eyes, put down the teacup again, and asked: "Let me ask you, after Miss Ling left last night, has anyone else entered the bedroom?"

The maid frowned inadvertently, and said: "We were the only maids who were on shift last night. Except for routinely coming in to change candles, no one else came in."

Shen Shuang looked at her expressionlessly, her eyes were a little cold.But soon, she looked away: "Go down, there are orders to go down, I'm going back to Shuilan City tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?" The maid was shocked, "The city lord's injury has not yet healed, and the journey back to Shuilan City is tiring, how can your body take it?"

"I told you to go on, are you deaf or did I not explain clearly enough?" Shen Shuangzhao asked calmly, but her tone was clearly displeased.

The maid didn't dare to refute any more, so she could only agree: "Yes."

Shen Shuangzhao poured another glass of water. Although she looked calm, her eyes clearly seemed to be thinking about something.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

"Do you really want to go back?" Ling Yan asked Shen Shuangzhao worriedly, "Your wound hurts a lot."

Shen Shuangzhao leaned back on the chair with her eyes closed: "I'm used to staying in Shuilan City, so if I want to recover from my injuries, I naturally go home to recuperate. Here..." She paused for a moment, and cast her eyes unfocused into the distance, "I don't like it."

Ling Yan had nothing to say, so she had no choice but to change the topic: "What about You'er? Should I go back with you or stay with me?"

Shen Shuangzhao said: "Let her stay with you, and come to see her when I recover from my injury. My mother and You'er, please take care of me."

"No." Ling Yan's brows couldn't be stretched, with so many worries in her heart, she couldn't be happier.

Just as he was talking, a guard came to report at the door: "I want to report to the city lord, the lord is waiting in front of the inner city gate, and she said that she will take you back."

Shen Shuangzhao didn't seem surprised at all, but just said: "If she can wait, let her wait a while, and I'll leave after drinking the medicine."

The guard took her message and ran to pass it back to Luo Qi.

With the help of others, Shen Shuangzhao got into the carriage, Luo Qi suddenly stopped her, and Shen Shuangzhao turned around: "What's wrong?"

Ling Yan hesitated to speak, but finally said: "Don't be impulsive."

Hearing this, Shen Shuangzhao reacted coldly, just nodded slightly, and put down the curtain of the carriage without saying anything else.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the city, Shen Shuangzhao opened his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"

Before anyone could answer her, the curtain was raised and Luo Qi was staring at her with a smile.Shen Shuangzhao frowned tightly, closed her eyes again, and didn't want to say a word.

Luo Qi didn't mind at all, and bent over and got into the carriage: "I haven't seen you for a few days, so you're sick?"

"..." Shen Shuangzhao was very weak, leaning her head on one side, ignoring her.

Luo Qi exhaled heavily, his heart suddenly clenched.She had this kind of mood before, she was so anxious and sad when Shen Shuangzhao was sick when she was a child.She sat beside Shen Shuangzhao, and pulled her into her arms: "It will be more comfortable to lean on me." When she said this, she was already prepared to be pushed away and ridiculed.

Unexpectedly, Shen Shuangzhao didn't speak coldly, but stuck to her embrace obediently, and said in a somewhat hoarse voice due to lack of energy: "I don't want to argue with you, I'm very tired."

Luo Qi's hands beside her were tightly clenched into fists, Shen Shuangzhao's meekness caught her off guard.Her body suddenly became stiff, and the warmth in her arms made her heart beat even more chaotically.What Jingyu said is right, maybe you shouldn't be so aggressive towards Shen Shuangzhao, and be more patient and gentle with her, maybe there will be a little room for reunion between the two of you...

Thinking this way, after a long time, Luo Qi gradually relaxed.She lowered her head, seeing that the person in her arms closed her eyes and did not speak, thinking that Shen Shuangzhao had fallen asleep again, she couldn't help stretching out her right hand to stroke her hair gently.

Shen Shuangzhao appeared to be obedient on the surface, but she was extremely disgusted in her heart.Except for Lu Qingrong and Shen Wanrong, she didn't like to get too close to people, and she always kept people away.Luo Qi is the person she hates the most, and now she has to pretend to be obedient, which is really embarrassing for her.

Because she was leaning against Luo Qi's arms, Shen Shuangzhao could smell Luo Qi's breath through the tip of her nose, which she felt very familiar with.And the familiar taste always hides an old memory.A few childhood images flashed through Shen Shuangzhao's mind, the young Luo Qi, the young self, the blue sea beside Bihai City... Thinking about it, Shen Shuangzhao suddenly remembered the smell he smelled when he woke up that morning ,Could it be that……

Sure enough, what Ling Yan said seemed to make a lot of sense—Luo Qi might really have a kind of deformed love for him... Shen Shuangzhao's eyes were tightly closed, and her temptation had initially yielded results.
