The Boyfriend Who I’ve Never Met - Chapter 44
The smoke in the house gradually faded, and everything around him began to become clearer.
Xie Tao almost hurriedly got out of Wei Yun’s arms. If Wei Yun hadn’t stretched out her hand to help her, she would have almost fallen to the ground.
Cheeks were a little red, and Xie Tao held a bag of snacks and stood beside him, without a word for a while.
Wei Yun coughed slightly, and his crow-like eyelashes trembled. He stood up, walked over and lifted the tassel curtain, then turned to look at her, “Come here.”
When Xie Tao raised her eyes to look past, she had no time to see his bright blue robe.
The black band is inlaid with delicate jade buckles, making his waist thinner, and his back is as straight as loose.
The wide shoulders, narrow waist and long legs made Xie Tao sway again.
Behind the tassel curtain is the inner room of the study.
The furnishings inside are minimalist. When Xie Tao walked in with the snacks, she saw the ink painting hanging on the wall at a glance.
The clouds are lingering, the scenery of the rolling mountains is looming in the meantime, and the canoe on the river, the old man draped on the poles, has a vague sense of vagueness, full of meaning.
Xie Tao tilted her head, and saw the corridor outside the carved window frames, and outside the corridor was the shadow of the whirling trees and the copper bells at the corners of the eaves.
There has been a charcoal fire in the inner room, which Wei Yun had instructed Uncle Wei early in the morning.
Sitting at the table, Wei Yun took off the teapot placed on the stove, took a azure tea cup with a uniform glaze, moved his wrist slightly, and poured the white hot tea into the tea cup.
“The time is right.”
He pushed the tea cup to Xie Tao’s eyes, “Sit down.”
Xie Tao listened, and sat down opposite him as expected.
She put a bag of her own snacks on the table, and then stretched out her hand to hold the tea cup. The slightly hot temperature passed through the wall of the cup and pressed directly on the palm of her hand, making her somewhat cold hands more warm. .
“This was boiled in the snow that I ordered to hide that day. Try it?” Wei Yun said.
The snow that day?
When Xie Tao heard it, what he thought of was the first snow that he saw with him on Yanshan Mountain.
She held the tea cup, nodded, then moved to her mouth and took a sip.
The light green tea color was very good, and when the heat went to her throat, all of her limbs instantly dispelled the chill of her first arrival.
It is obviously a hot cup of tea, but the taste is inexplicable, but there is always a sense of coolness, but it is not a mint-like taste. It is light and shallow, with the unique fragrance of tea. Under the aftertaste, it is actually inexplicable. It’s a bit sweet and clear.
“What kind of tea is this? It’s delicious.”
Xie Tao held the tea cup and said, taking another gulp.
“The mountains and clouds in Qizhou.”
Seeing that she liked it, Wei Yun took her cup and poured another cup for her.
The mountains and clouds have always been precious, and the output is not abundant. Wei Yun’s hands were rewarded by Emperor Qi He a few days ago.
Wei Yun didn’t mention the rare tea, and Xie Tao naturally didn’t know. She drank several cups, like cows, and even tore a bag of potato chips to eat.
“Try it?” She put her potato chips to Wei Yun’s mouth.
Although Wei Yun remained silent, his back was slightly stiff.
It seemed as if he hesitated for a moment, his pupils met Xie Tao’s expectant eyes, after all, he moved forward slightly and ate.
“Is it tasty?”
Xie Tao raised her eyebrows when she saw him eating, and then asked with her face in her arms.
“…Okay.”
In fact, Wei Yun didn’t pay attention to what it was like.
“I…” Xie Tao seemed to want to say something, but she just opened her mouth when she heard a knock on the door, followed by an old voice with some caution, “My lord, you should use it. It’s dinner.”
It’s Weibo.
Wei Yun heard this, and said, “Bring the supper here.”
Weibo seemed to be taken aback for a moment, “My lord wants to eat in the study?”
“Yeah.” Wei Yun faintly replied, and then he met the round apricot eyes of the girl sitting opposite him, seemed to pause, and added another sentence, “Add an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks.” .”
“…Yes.” Weibo was puzzled, but he still responded.
Is there a guest from the National Teacher’s Office today?
Then why not set up dinner in the dining room?
Wei Bo muttered in his heart, he leaned over to Wei Jing who was standing on the corridor, and said, “Wei Jing, I just heard the adult’s study…it seems that there is a woman’s voice?”
Wei Jing frowned, her waist straightened, “Impossible!”
“…I don’t believe it very much, but I really seem to hear a little sound?” Weibo hissed.
“Impossible! It must be that you are old and your ears are not very good.” Wei Jing made a firm decision.
A woman’s voice will appear in the adult’s room?
This is absolutely impossible.
“…”
Uncle Wei was blowing his beard and staring at this sentence. He flicked his sleeves and went to the back of the kitchen.
Wei Jing touched the back of his head and coughed.
“Wei Jing.”
At that time, Wei Jing, who has always had excellent ears, heard Wei Yun’s voice coming from inside the door.
He immediately concentrated, stepped up the steps quickly, leaned to the door, and replied, “My lord.”
“You go and guard outside the courtyard.”
He only heard Wei Yun say such a sentence.
? ? ?
Wei Jing was a little dazed, but he still responded, and then turned and walked out of the courtyard with his sword in his arms.
After pushing Wei Jing away, Wei Yun turned his head and saw Xie Tao was standing by the antique shelf by the wall and looking around. She stretched out her hand from time to time and touched it twice, but she was also cautious and didn’t dare to touch too much.
“It’s all cultural relics…” Xie Tao looked at the things on the shelf, and suddenly remembered the sound of coins falling one by one, clear and sweet.
“It should not be counted.”
Wei Yun took a sip of tea, and his tone was flat when he spoke.
Xie Tao listened and looked back at him, “Why?”
“After the Yi dynasty, the time and space you are in has a huge deviation from here. In other words, after the Yi dynasty, everything that exists here does not exist on your side, so if these things reach your side, it will But it’s a bit strange, and it doesn’t have a historical basis.”
This is something that Wei Yun has basically determined after studying all the books Xie Tao sent him over the past many days.
It seems that after the Yi Dynasty, the two time and space where they are located are no longer connected in any way.
“So…” Xie Tao nodded, as if she understood what he was saying.
“If you want to take some away, you might as well bring real money.”
Holding the tea cup in his hand, a smile appeared on his lips.
“…I, I didn’t want to take it away.” Xie Taogan laughed.
But when she talked about money, she suddenly remembered what happened that day in the hospital.
“Xie Lan lent me the money, I have already paid back Uncle Zheng’s money…”
She also told him that Lao Xi and Xie Lan asked her to work in the tavern.
Wei Yun heard these words from her, but suddenly put down the tea cup in his hand, with such a slight noise, but Xie Tao suddenly stopped.
His eyebrows seemed to be a little bit colder, as if the green branches suddenly condensed with frost, which made people’s heart stunned.
“He borrows you, you want it, I give it to you, but you don’t want it?”
His voice was clear and cold, “Xie Tao, what’s the reason for this?”
Xie Tao was stunned.
After reacting, she waved her hand quickly, “I didn’t…”
“Huh?” He tapped on the table with his well-knotted fingers. Hearing her making a noise, he raised his eyes and glanced at her.
He was waiting for her answer.
“That’s different.” She lowered her head and said.
“Different?”
Wei Yun twitched the corners of his lips, then laughed suddenly, inexplicably cold, “I want to hear, what is the difference between him and me?”
“It was different.”
Xie Tao froze for a long while, her face flushed, her lips were pursed and pursed, and when she gathered the courage to speak, she closed her eyes subconsciously, her eyelashes were trembling all the time, even her voice was a little strange. stable:
“I, how I like you…”
At this moment, her face looked like the snow-white flowers blooming between the branches and leaves in the spring, gradually adding a little bit of powder in the morning and evening, and after a twilight, it was dyed with the crimson of the sunset.
How did Wei Yun expect that she would suddenly say such a sentence?
The hand that he was just about to serve the tea cup was so stiff in the air, his slender finger knuckles were slightly bent, and his jade-like flawless face had a bit of unspeakable color, his back was stiff, and his ears had once again Slightly hot.
It seemed that a few traces of heat from the charcoal fire in the blast furnace on the table followed his ears and rushed directly into his heart, gradually getting hotter and hotter, burning him almost chaotically for a while.
“you……”
For a long while, his thin lips moved slightly, but only one word made it difficult to speak.
“Because of this…I’m even more embarrassed to lend you money.”
Xie Tao finally said the second half, her head almost lowered to the table.
Speaking of which, it was only the first time in her life that she liked someone, and this kind of care at the beginning was inevitable.
There are many things, it is easy to talk to other people, but once confronted with him, she always hesitated.
Xie Tao didn’t understand what this was.
Wei Yun suddenly stood up, walked around Xie Tao, stopped by the red sandalwood multi-treasure cabinet behind her, and then reached out to open the cabinet door, opened the drawer again, and took out a full of brocade from it. bag.
He turned around and threw it directly on the table in front of Xie Tao, making an extremely loud noise.
The string of the brocade bag was not tightly closed, so Xie Tao saw the corner of the golden ingot exposed in the half-open brocade bag at a glance.
She is also very familiar with this brocade bag.
Isn’t it the same bag she gave him back before?
She blinked, and before she spoke, she heard him suddenly say, “Take these and go to pay the debt owed to him.”
“It seems you are willing to owe him?”
Seeing that Xie Tao didn’t move, Wei Yun stood there with his hands under his hands and squinted his eyes slightly. His voice seemed unwavering, but his tone was inexplicably cool.
“…”
Xie Tao originally wanted to say something, but when she caught his gaze, she pursed her lips and obediently stuffed the bag of gold ingots into her pocket.
The pocket of the woolen coat was a bit small. She didn’t tuck it in, so she laughed, and carefully put the bag of gold ingots on the table, “Push it, you can’t put it in… I’ll put it here, go, when I go. take.”
Before Wei Yun had time to say something, he heard a knock on the door, followed by Weibo’s voice, “My lord, dinner is here.”
“Come in.” Wei Yun said.
After that, Wei Yun made a silent gesture to Xie Tao.
Xie Tao nodded, covered her mouth, and opened a pair of round apricot eyes, looking a little silly and a little cute.
Wei Yun suddenly bends his lips for some reason. When he heard the sound of pushing the door outside, he looked straight again and said, “Place it on the table outside and go out.”
“Yes.”
Uncle Wei could only hear his voice, but he couldn’t see him. While he instructed his servant to put one dish after another on the table, he glanced at the back of the fringed curtain.
Don’t know why, he always feels that the adults are a little strange.
But these are not things that a slave should have to deal with after all. Weibo also knows how to score, so after preparing two sets of dishes, he led the slaves out of the study and closed the door.
Xie Tao had already smelled the fragrance, and suddenly she felt that the potato chips in her hand were not smelling.
“There are so many people in the courtyard, you appear suddenly, so you don’t make a sound for the time being.”
Wei Yun explained to her.
Xie Tao nodded indiscriminately, as if his mind wasn’t on it at all.
“Let’s go.”
Wei Yun felt a little funny when she saw her appearance.
“Hmm!” Xie Tao hurriedly followed behind him and walked outside.
Xie Tao almost couldn’t look away when she saw the delicious food on the table.
She ran over and sat on the stool, picked up the chopsticks she had on her hand, but did not move the chopsticks, but looked at Wei Yun.
Wei Yun came over, sat down opposite her, and said, “Don’t hold back, just eat.”
Xie Tao heard what he said, and directly stuck a chopstick on the chopped pepper fish and pulled a large piece of fish down.
But she hesitated, but did not put it in her bowl, instead she stood up, reached out and put the piece of fish into the small bowl in front of Wei Yun.
Wei Yun just picked up the chopsticks and saw that there was a piece of fish in the bowl in front of him. When he raised his eyes, he saw the girl biting the meat and smiling at him.
With curved eyes, there is a clear spring hidden in the head.
He couldn’t help but raised his lips.
While Xie Tao was eating a meal, there was a knock on the door, and then a slightly low voice came:
“My lord, can I come in?”
Xie Tao bit the chicken leg and suddenly stopped.
Wei Yun frowned and placed the chopsticks in his hand on the jade stone chopsticks.
This is Sheng Yueqi’s voice.
“What are you doing?” Wei Yun said lightly.
Sheng Yueqi’s voice seemed to be deliberately lowered, with a teasing smile, “Naturally come to see… your little girlfriend.”
Suddenly by cue, Xie Tao was so scared that the chicken legs fell into the bowl.
Little, little girlfriend?
Xie Tao secretly looked up at the young man sitting opposite her, but was bumping into his seemingly calm eyes.
She drooped her head and fed the chicken leg into her mouth.
Huh, isn’t it?
Why does the person outside know the term “girlfriend”?
She turned her head and looked a little curiously at a vague shadow outside the door.
Wei Yun originally wanted Sheng Yueqi to roll, but before he could speak, the sliding doors were pushed open from the outside.
At that moment, the wind in the yard brought up his dark green robe, and a jewel inlaid on his forehead shone with dazzling light.
The deep outline of the young man was unspeakably exotic, but it was a little different from the foreigners Xie Tao had seen, but he looked like a mixed race.
Behind him is the beautiful glow of the yard.
“Sheng Yueqi.”
Wei Yun’s voice sounded, some inexplicable chills.
“Don’t you have anything to ask me, my lord?” Sheng Yueqi didn’t have any fear on her face. His eyes stayed on Xie Tao’s face for a long time, and then he laughed again, “Little madam, look up for a long time.”
At the end, he added another sentence, “Sure enough, my lord’s vision is good.”
Xie Tao bit the chicken leg, her eyes rounded.
“Get in,” Wei Yun said coldly.
Sheng Yueqi knew that this master of the National Normal University had never been a temperament, so he accepted it as soon as he saw it, no longer said anything, stepped into the threshold, and closed the door by the way.
The moment he walked in, Uncle Wei, who had just passed by the moon cave gate at the end of the corridor, saw him from a distance.
He stroked his gray beard, and finally came across.
It turned out that the adults were dining with the son Sheng.
Thinking of this, Uncle Wei turned around and left the main courtyard, and went back to do some chores with the servants.
In the study, the three people were sitting at a table, and the atmosphere was stagnant for a while without knowing why.
No one spoke first.
Xie Tao was so nervous that he didn’t even move the meal.
“My lord is not going to let someone prepare an extra set of chopsticks? I haven’t used dinner yet.” Sheng Yueqi asked with a smile.
Wei Yun glanced at him lightly, but did not pay attention, but said to Xie Tao, “If you eat you, don’t care about him.”
“Oh…” Xie Tao took a bite of rice with chopsticks.
“Is an adult not so stingy? But with the addition of a pair of chopsticks, would you let me sit here and watch you eat?” Sheng Yueqi hasn’t eaten fresh dog food for a long time. Is not willing.
“You came here uninvited.”
Wei Yun took his chopsticks again, clamped the piece of fish in the bowl, and took a bite slowly.
Xie Tao saw that he had eaten her fish, she smiled secretly, and then continued to fight the roast chicken.
Although Sheng Yueqi was a modern person, he was taught by his father to be rigorous and even eat for many years. He was also trained in the club under the hands of his father who was once the leader of the cavalry army.
… He doesn’t understand, why do people who dance knives and guns like to engage in this set of formalism?
But no way, Sheng Yueqi has been used to it for many years.
Not to mention, he himself has a habit of cleanliness, even obsessive-compulsive disorder.
So even if he coveted the roast chicken on the table whose legs had been torn away, he would definitely not tolerate grabbing it with his hands.
“Fine, I’ll eat it myself later.”
Sheng Yueqi sighed.
“My lord, the bag of gold powder I gave you can only last for more than three hours at most. You should have discovered it?” He suddenly started talking about the topic.
Hearing what he said, Wei Yun also looked upright.
Even Xie Tao stopped chewing on the chicken legs.
“The material of the gold powder is special. It should be in the same vein as the copper wear, but it is a rare thing. My heart was particularly eager to return to the modern era. Therefore, I have studied the copper wear for a long time, but apart from these gold powders, I There is no way for the little lady to stay here longer.”
As Sheng Yueqi said, he glanced at Xie Tao.
Xie Tao caught the key word in his words, her eyes widened for a moment, and she looked him up and down several times before she spoke, and asked, “Are you…aren’t you an ancient person?”
The author has something to say: Taotao’s first meal in ancient times: hiccups
Extra-large light bulb Sheng Yueqi: I’m actually not here to eat dog food, I’m here to eat roast chicken…
