Chapter 373 Can I hug you?
The two looked at each other and were speechless for a moment, but their faces turned red at the same time.
"Please sit down, sir." Xun Yan said, pouring him a cup of tea.
Zhong Ziyi glanced at her white fingers, stepped forward quickly, and stopped one step away from her. He blushed and asked, "Xun Yan, you said you would tell me your thoughts tonight. Do you want to tell me now?"
Xun Yan nodded slightly. Seeing Zhong Ziyi's hopeful eyes, she took a deep breath and said softly, "I am willing to go back to Bishui Villa with you, Master."
Zhong Ziyi's heartbeat suddenly quickened. Besides Xun Yan's soft voice, the only sound in his ears was the thumping of his own heart.
"Are you serious?" Zhong Ziyi couldn't help but hold her arms with both hands.
Xun Yan raised his head and said seriously, "Really."
Zhong Ziyi also laughed, his handsome and gentle face actually had a bit of youthfulness. He hesitated and said, "Then... can I hug you?"
Xun Yan lowered his head. Zhong Ziyi suddenly felt that he was too impatient and said hurriedly: "I... I just said it casually, don't worry..."
Before he could finish his words, Xun Yan put her arms around his waist. Zhong Ziyi only smelled a faint floral scent. When he lowered his eyes, he saw Xun Yan's slightly soft hair. She was obviously nervous, and the circle of rabbit fur on her cloak hood was trembling.
Zhong Ziyi was stunned for a moment, then he put his arms around her.
After a while, Xun Yan felt embarrassed, so she gently pushed him away and said softly, "Let's not rush into getting married, can we spend some time together first?"
Zhong Ziyi nodded quickly and said, "Okay, as long as you feel at ease."
The two were silent for a moment, and Xun Yan suddenly took out something from his sleeve and handed it to Zhong Ziyi with both hands.
"Is this... a sachet?" Zhong Ziyi asked. Even though it was right in front of him, he still smiled with joy and couldn't help asking.
Xun Yan nodded gently and said, "Well, shouldn't this be given when expressing one's feelings? I have asked everyone."
The pattern on the sachet was embroidered by her stitch by stitch, and the lily of the valley flowers on it were lifelike. She also asked Meng Yin to help mix the spices inside. Since she really knew nothing about spices, she had to ask others for help.
Zhong Ziyi took it with trembling hands and said seriously, "I like it very much."
He suddenly realized something was wrong. This sachet would take several days to make, but he just confessed to Xunyan last night. Why did she take this out today? Was it because she had been thinking of expressing her feelings to him and prepared it in advance?
Thinking of this, he felt secretly delighted again. Xun Yan looked at his increasingly happy smile, somewhat confused.
In fact, this sachet was originally given to him by Xunyan as a reward, but he happened to be honest, so let it be a token of love.
Zhong Ziyi pulled Xunyan to sit down and said, "Xunyan, since we have agreed, you and I will go back to Bishui Villa. We have to leave tomorrow."
Xunyan exclaimed, he didn't expect it to be so fast.
Seeing her confusion, Zhong Ziyi explained: "I have been out for so long this time, so there are bound to be some things in the villa that I need to deal with. The letter was just delivered today, so we will go back tomorrow, okay?"
Xunyan thought for a moment and said, "When should we leave?"
"Wei Shi, you don't have to get up early. I'll go rent a carriage first." Zhong Ziyi said, "This place is quite far from Bishui Villa, and the road may be a bit bumpy."
Xunyan shook his head and said, "I am not afraid of hardship."
Zhong Ziyi smiled and said, "I won't let you suffer. When we return to Bishui Villa, I will teach you how to read and write. Perhaps it won't be long before Miss Meng and Brother Gu's wedding banquet comes. Then we can go to Qilin City."
The blush on Xunyan's face had not yet faded. She felt at ease that he had arranged everything like this, but he spoke so familiarly, as if they were already husband and wife.
Seeing that she was in a daze, Zhong Ziyi stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her: "What's wrong? Do you feel something is wrong?"
Xun Yan came back to her senses and said, "No, I will say goodbye to them properly tomorrow."
"Okay." Zhong Ziyi said, standing up, "Then - I'll go back first, you should rest early."
Xunyan also stood up and said softly, "Okay, you too."
Zhong Ziyi was still reluctant to leave, and looked at her carefully for a long while. Xun Yan felt embarrassed, so he said, "Then I'm leaving."
Xun Yan nodded and looked at Zhong Ziyi's departing back, unable to recover for a long time.
She walked to the dressing table, picked up the hairpin that Zhong Ziyi had given her, and couldn't help laughing.
She once thought that she had been alone all her life and that no one had ever truly loved her, but she didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, she would have several friends and her savior would even ask her to be his wife.
The thing that I never dared to dream of actually happened.
Xunyan patted her red face. She estimated that it would take a while for her to fall asleep tonight.
-
The next day, Zhong Ziyi rented a carriage, and after lunch, he prepared to return to Bishui Villa with Xunyan.
Today's weather is even colder than yesterday, and it's gradually feeling like winter, with not a single ray of sunshine. Zhong Ziyi arranged for someone to buy the best cushions to put in the carriage, and also prepared a heater and blankets. He also checked the windows and was relieved only after everything was safe.
Xunyan had suffered a serious injury before, and he was worried that the injury would relapse in winter, so he must not catch a cold.
Hearing that Xunyan was leaving, the four of them prepared a lot of things in the morning. Not only did they arrange for two people to go with them, they also gave Xunyan a token, which was equivalent to her retreat.
At the time of parting, Xunyan was extremely grateful and kept thanking him.
She was wearing a light yellow cloak, her little face was rosy, and her bright eyes were misty with emotion, making her look even more pitiful.
Tao Tao took the bundle and stuffed it into Xun Yan's arms: "Inside is the small coat made by Yin Yin. It's very warm to wear."
Xun Yan wanted to refuse, but Meng Yin interrupted her: "Don't refuse, I stayed up all night to make this for you."
Xun Yan had no choice but to take it. She vaguely felt something hard inside. It was the one hundred taels of silver that Tao Tao had prepared for her. She was about to ask when she suddenly saw a dark shadow pounce from behind Tao Tao and pounce directly on her.
Meng Yinxia Nian supported her in time, and Xu Zheng kicked him directly. The black shadow fell to the ground, and she saw that it was a person.
Xunyan exclaimed, "Be careful!"
Unexpectedly, the black shadow was relentless. Before the few of them could see clearly what it was, it rushed over. However, before it could take a few steps, it was kicked away by Yiqing.
Tao Tao was still in shock, Yi Qing hurried to her side and asked, "A Tao, are you okay?"
Tao Tao shook her head and stared at the person lying on the ground who was trying to get up.
He was not thin, he was even fat, and he almost fell down when he pounced on her.
When they looked closely, they found that his body was covered with black stuff. Xia Nian hurriedly looked behind Tao Tao and saw that her clothes were already dirty.
Xia Nian said coldly: "Catch him!"
Xiahou Yu drew his sword and stepped forward, pressing it directly against his neck.
Several people are now on the street, but no one is watching. Most of them just take a quick look and leave. I guess the new city order has taken effect.
This man has a lot of pimples on his face, which look like acne. He should not be very old.
Tao Tao pulled the clothes over and took a look, she was furious. She hated it most when her clothes got dirty. This dress was chosen by Xia Nian and she was wearing it for the first time today.
Tao Tao said angrily: "I'm going to change my clothes!"
Hearing that she was angry, Yiqing asked Ah Shuo to hold him down and said, "You are so brave to attack the ladies of the cabinet." He stepped forward and kicked him, "Tell me! What's your name? Who is he from?"
