The Prematurely Deceased Fiance Dressed As a Heroine - Chapter 17
Wen Fei pointed to the cold melon with some teasing and said, “Miss Chu, can you taste it?”
When Chu Xi heard this, Wen Fei knew her identity. It doesn’t matter how the other party knows, but she didn’t take the initiative to tell the matter, so it might be concealed. Unsure of what Wen Fei thought at the moment, Chu Xi still maintained her usual calmness. She even stepped forward to take the half of the cold melon, and her attitude was as generous as when she first met at the gate of the city: “Thank you Wu Weihou.”
Wen Fei had been bluffed by her once, and this time he was obviously more immune. She quietly looked at Chu Xi’s expression, but it was a pity that Girl Chu had a clear and calm look, and she didn’t see the slightest vain, as if she had forgotten the story of smashing the melon.
This makes people a little uncomfortable, and it feels uncomfortable. If Chu Xi’s behavior is different, Wen Fei can take advantage of the situation to ask her about the smashing melon in the first place, but she has a calm expression, and immediately makes Wen Fei’s questioning again. Blocked back. Even the half of the watermelon sent out gave her the illusion that she was sentimental and the other party only watched her performance quietly.
Wen Fei narrowed his eyes slightly, and for the first time felt that the heroine was not easy to deal with, although the heroine of the other party could hardly say anything.
Of course, Chu Xi’s heart was not as calm as on the surface. While Wen Fei looked at her, she also paid attention to the other party. I thought that the other party would be angry, but how could she see a subtle sympathy in the other’s eyes?
After confirming that it was not her own illusion, Chu Xi was a bit at a loss. At the same time, she was curious about Wen Fei’s life for the first time. At this moment, she really wanted to know what the other party was thinking, and why did she show such an expression to her? Obviously, she encountered water bandits before, and the other party hadn’t looked at her sympathetically under such a crisis. Now, what is so worthy of sympathy for her?
At this moment, the two of them had their own thoughts, although they were a little unhappy, they also kept silent in tacit understanding.
Finally, Wen Fei retracted his gaze and raised his finger to the empty seat opposite: “Ms. Chu has recovered from a serious illness, so she should sit first. If you have anything to do with me, you can speak slowly.”
Chu Xi thanked him and sat down opposite Wen Fei obediently. She pinched the spoon that Wen Fei used to dig for her with her fingers, but obviously she didn’t mean to eat, her fingertips were spinning around the handle of the spoon. On the contrary, Wen Fei who was opposite seemed to take a breath, dug a large piece of melon flesh and put it into her mouth, the sweet taste of watermelon finally washed away the little depression in her heart.
Somehow, when Chu Xi looked at Wen Fei who was eating melons and bulging cheeks at the moment, she felt that the other party was a little cute… This must be an illusion! Wuwei Hou is three years older than her, not to mention, or a great general with great martial arts, where is he related to cuteness? !
Chu Xi’s thoughts strayed for a moment, and immediately became a little uncomfortable, and quietly looked away.
Wen Fei was eating melons. He waited and waited before Chu Xi could speak. He couldn’t help but look up: “Ms. Chu, isn’t there something wrong with me, why don’t you keep talking?” After speaking, he paused and caught a glimpse of Chu Xi. With a pale face, his heart softened: “If you have anything to say, I will definitely help you, and you don’t have to worry about it.”
Chu Xi’s magnanimity is a mask, but Wen Fei’s magnanimity is true, which makes Chu Xi’s mood very complicated for a moment. But in the final analysis, the two are also missed, so she put away other thoughts for the time being, and said with a serious face: “This time, I have come to thank Wuweihou. Thank you for your help, otherwise the maid and I will have to do the same with others. Together with my family, I was buried at the bottom of the river.”
This means that Chu Xi spoke very sincerely, she was silent and even stood up, folded her hands and bowed solemnly to Wen Fei.
This kind of courtesy is not excessive for saving life. When she returns to Jiangnan’s home, Chu Xi will prepare a generous gift and cherish his thanks. But Wen Fei was a little uncomfortable facing Chu Xi’s gift. She put down the watermelon and spoon uncomfortably, wiped her hands and stood up: “That’s just a matter of effort, and it’s the righteousness of uneven roads. Girl Chu doesn’t need to be so. .”
After speaking, Wen Fei’s eyes inevitably drifted, because there are too many passages in the novel such as “saving grace and promise each other”. She was afraid that as the two of them were talking, Chu Xi suddenly felt that the previous marriage was a good one. What should I do if I regret it?
Fortunately, it didn’t. Chu Xi didn’t say much, she just kept this matter in her heart, and she would always find a chance to repay in the future.
The two did not mention marriage in a tacit understanding, nor did they regard themselves as unmarried couples. After thanking him, Chu Xi sat down again and thought for a while and asked: “This ship is heading south of the Yangtze River. I don’t know why Wuwei Hou went south?”
Chu Xi asked bluntly, because she knew very well that Wen Fei could not go south because of her, at least on the face of it.
Sure enough, Wen Fei had no intention of concealing, and he explained: “Your Majesty ordered me to patrol the garrisons in various places. The rich and corrupt in Jiangnan are prone to corruption, so this trip started in Jiangnan.”
The words were very high-sounding, Wen Fei did not cover up, and did not add any oil or jealousy. Because she knew that Chu Xi could understand if she wasn’t stupid, but in fact Chu Xi could understand it as well. It’s just that it’s a matter of the emperor, it’s not easy to be beaked, so she can only change the front and ask: “The land of Jiangnan is very wide, I don’t know where the purpose of Wuweihou is, can I go with the maid for the time being?”
Wen Fei didn’t plan to abandon her either. Apart from other things, all the guards and servants who accompanied the Chu family died in the hands of the water bandits. She left the two weak women, master and servant, to let them fend for themselves? !
Wen Fei did not intend to save the person who was finally saved: “Yes, where do you want to go?”
Chu Xi thought for a while, and then replied, “This boat is going south along the Yangtze River, and it can go to Jiangzhou recently. I have a brother who is in Jiangzhou to drive. If it is convenient, when the boat goes to Jiangzhou, I may let the maid and I disembark to find relatives. .”
Don’t be the assistant official of the governor, his status is not low, and his power is not small.
For some reason, Wen Fei suddenly thought of the two dozen brothers of the Chu family and Chu Xi’s generation, and then thought of what his uncle said to her when he was born to escape from marriage. As an official, if she dared to escape the marriage, she would meet one at some point, and then she would be interrupted and caught back to Chang’an!
Thinking of this, Wen Fei’s heart was a little subtle for an instant, but fortunately, those things were nothing. In response to Chu Xi’s simple request, she nodded and accepted: “It’s easy. I’ll send some guards to take you to Biejia Mansion at that time.”
After hearing this, Chu Xi completely relaxed, thanked Wen Fei again, and left calmly.
After they left, Wen Fei looked back, only to realize that the half of the watermelon handed to Chu Xi before was actually eaten by the other party. A small piece was dug from the heart of Gua, and I don’t know when Chu Xi ate it?
Wen Fei felt a little funny when she looked at it, but Chu Xi unconsciously appeared in her mind like eating melon secretly, just like a hamster…
I feel a little bit overwhelmed with joy, but I want to know that everything is a brain supplement. Wen Fei, who was inexplicably bettered, stopped eating melons anymore. She wiped her hands and stood up, and went out to find the boat boss and asked her itinerary.
In any case, meeting is always predestined, and everything needs to start and end well. Since she has rescued people, she must send them home well, or send them to her brother.
