Blade of Wind

I told Ao and Mo Yekong that I wanted to stay here for two more days and go to the construction site of the river to have a look.Of course they didn't object.

But Ah Ao looked at me with some hesitation and said: "But...how are you going to go? This place is not like that over there, where you can do odd jobs casually. Repairing dikes is a big deal, so you don't just use small jobs with unknown history, right? "

I thought about it, and after discussing with them for a while, I decided to ask the patriarch for help. Anyway, she should have doubts about our identities.

So when I was having dinner, I told the patriarch that we are actually officials who came out to investigate under the order of the Lord.The patriarch was not too surprised, but had a clear expression of "ah, that's true."

After that it's much simpler.

I told her that we were going to stay at the construction site by the river for two days, hoping she could assist us.

She agreed without saying a word.It's very simple to say, just find two people of the same age from the labor labor in the village for a few days.Anyway, the labor for building the river is recruited from four townships and eight miles, and no one knows everyone, so just tell the people in the village to keep quiet.

I nodded, and she set about making arrangements.

The people in the village already had great opinions on this labor. Now that someone is willing to replace them, even if it is only for a day or two, it is naturally desirable, and of course they will not have any opinions.

It was arranged that night, and we could go to work with them the next day.

At night, Li Guang and Mo Yekong slept in the outer room, leaving the inner room to Aao and me.

Perhaps in their view, it's okay for Wang and Qilin to be in the same room.During the past few days when they were out of the palace, when they could find a hotel, they naturally shared a room for each of them. When they slept in the wild, they randomly searched for a place to rest or squeezed into the carriage, and they didn't feel that there was anything wrong.

But at this time, Aao and I were asked to sleep in the same room, but I couldn't help feeling uncomfortable.

A Ao glanced at me and said softly: "You sleep on the bed, I sleep on the floor."

"No. You sleep on the bed, I sleep on the floor." I quickly objected, "What if you catch a cold?"

"No. It's not like I didn't sleep directly on the ground along the way, and it didn't matter. Aren't you going to work tomorrow? How can you not rest well?"

In fact, if there was no such bed, everyone would sleep on the floor, and there would be no such pushback.

I looked at the bed that had been made, sighed, and said, "Forget it, let's sleep together."

Ah Ao was startled, and a faint blush appeared on his face, "Jie..."

"Sleeping on the floor together is also sleeping, so what's wrong with sleeping on the bed together." I lowered my eyes, and without looking at him, I took off my coat, shoes and socks and got on the bed, and lay down on my side, making room for most of the bed .

After a while, I heard Ah Ao come to the bed, take off her clothes and lie down.

The bed is not wide, although I tried my best to lean in and Ao seemed to try not to touch me, but I could still clearly feel each other's body temperature, even breathing and heartbeat.

In fact, it’s very strange to say that it’s not that Ao and I don’t have closer contact. We have held hands and hugged countless times, and even not long ago... I kissed him when I was drunk, and we were on the same bed with him sleep till dawn...but then...

I also felt that I was being coy and hypocritical...but I just couldn't get up naturally, and I was so nervous that even my palms were slightly sweaty.

Ah Ao didn't move or speak, and the atmosphere couldn't be more embarrassing.

I sighed secretly, turned around, but saw Ao with his eyes closed, breathing slowly, as if he had fallen asleep.

...Really, what the hell am I worrying about?

Ah Ao's sleeping face is very beautiful.

He was originally an elegant and handsome young man, but after turning back into a unicorn, he became more elegant, fair-skinned, and exquisite in facial features. At this time, he closed his eyes and remained motionless, like a peerless statue from a divine doctor.

I couldn't help stretching out my hand and gently brushing away his hair, revealing his slender eyebrows and smooth forehead.

Ao seemed to be startled by me, and frowned slightly.

I quickly withdrew my hand, but he didn't open his eyes, he let out a meaningless murmur, turned his head to the other side, and was still asleep.

I breathed a sigh of relief, but my heart was no longer as embarrassed as before. I stretched out my hand again, held Ao's hand, then snuggled up to his side, and fell asleep too.

A few days ago we spent a lot of time sleeping in the open, and we took turns to be on duty at night.Of course there is no need to live in the Lici Temple today, but in the middle of the night, I still woke up.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he found that Ao was gone.

I sat up startled.

The surrounding is still warm, he should have left not long ago, but... I didn't realize it at all.She obviously held his hand before going to bed.

How badly did I just sleep?

I hurriedly got out of bed, and was about to call out Qinglong to look for it together, when the people outside seemed to be startled by my voice.First knocked on the door twice, and then Li Guang's voice sounded, "Xiao Jie? Are you awake?"

"Yeah." I responded, opened the door with my shoes on and went out, and asked hurriedly, "Ah Ao is gone, did you see him go out?"

Li Guang smiled and said, "Don't worry. He's gone to see Li Mu. Mo Yekong will follow."

It was only then that I realized that Mo Yekong wasn't there, so I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and frowned, "I'm so full, why did I go to see Limu in the middle of the night? You scared me."

"He said that you have worked hard recently, and it's rare that you sleep so soundly, and he doesn't want to disturb you." Li Guang explained with a smile.

I grinned a little wordlessly.

More than a sound sleep?He pulled my hand away from the bed, and talked to Li Guang and the others outside, I didn't know at all, at this time, even if someone came to kill me, before the knife pierced my body, I wouldn't know it at all Notice it?

How can this be?

Li Guang didn't seem to care about my frustration, and continued: "But... I think Ao seems to be preoccupied?"

...Is everyone able to see it?

I sighed, and Li Guang said again: "Actually...you don't have to worry too much. The recovery of a country is a long-term task, so don't put too much pressure on yourself."

I don't know why he directly pulled the topic from Ao to me, but I can only respond to such words. "Um."

"He is your unicorn. All your emotions will be directly conveyed to him. If you are always so anxious, he will not be happy." Li Guang reached out and touched my head, and smiled, "So, You have to learn to adjust your mentality first. Relax and take it easy."

I had no choice but to nod again.

"Ao is very good, he is just... a little lacking in self-confidence." Li Guang said this in a very appreciative tone.

I nodded again, "At the end of the day, it's because the king isn't strong enough, so Qilin has no confidence, right?"

"You can't say that." Li Guang laughed, "Xiao Jie, you will be a very good king. Maybe you should have a good talk with Ah Ao to give him more confidence..."

I was a little helpless: "I told him this... there will be a fight in the end..."

"Huh?" Li Guang raised his eyebrows, "Why do you say that?"

I don't know how to answer.I don't know how to explain it, but Ah Ao and I... have other emotional entanglements besides the master and slave siblings.And Ah Ao's recent lack of self-confidence...isn't all about politics...

I didn't speak for a while, and Li Guang didn't ask any more questions, but just patted my head again, "Don't worry, he'll be fine. Go back to sleep, and he'll go to work early tomorrow morning."

I could only answer again, turned around and went back to the room, but I couldn't fall asleep anymore.

The author has something to say: So Xiao Jie was assassinated in his sleep!
