The Snow Towers are all made of white stones, just like a small snow city. When you go out of the building, you have to pass through a deep White Stone Gate Cave.

Xiaoxiao passed through the door, and felt the night breeze was slightly cool, and the wind slid into the cuffs and neck, with graceful edges and corners.

I saw the light when I walked out, and the moonlight on August 17th is still as bright as silver.

Wen Xixiu was standing in the moonlight, with only a white horse behind him and no one else.

Xiaoxiao walked over and was about to smile at him, but he realized that he was smiling all the way. At this moment, he stopped the smile: "Brother Wen is here, what's the matter?"

"My mother is worried about Xizi, so she comes to pick her up." Wen Xixiu also had a rare smile on her face.

Xiaoxiao then remembered something: "Xizi...Xizi left after the meal."

Dinner at the Xu hour is over, and it is almost midnight now.

Wen Xixiu frowned slightly: "No wonder he didn't see the carriage at home."

At this moment, there were several carriages parked in front of the Snow Tower, but none of them belonged to the Wen family.

Xiaoxiao faintly noticed Xizi's whereabouts: "Maybe, she has her own arrangements."

But it was indeed too late at this moment. If Xizi was with the painter, it would be even more worrying.

Xiaoxiao felt confused. The illusory thoughts just now disappeared without a trace: "Have you sent someone to follow me at home?"

Wen Xixiu was calmer than Xiaoxiao: "There are two people who have been secretly protecting each other. I think nothing will happen." But the brows never unfolded.

Xiaoxiao couldn't help asking: "Since there have been people following you secretly, Brother Wen must know a few places Xizi often goes to."

The two discussed the topics of Xizi and Shi Zuimo as early as last Mid-Autumn Festival. At that time, Wen Xixiu still expected that the other party was a person worthy of entrusting, but I wonder if he still thought that way today.

"Sicun Painting Club, Guyu Teahouse, and several islands on Xingwen Lake, are just these places." Wen Xixiu's voice was a little light.

Xiaoxiao quickly analyzed in his heart: Wen Xixiu has been away from Kyoto for nearly a year, and there must be people from the Wen family secretly following Xizi during this year (also understandable as protection). But I wonder who these bodyguards will report what they saw to? I think it would not be Xizi's parents. If the older generation heard that the pearl in their palm was dating a poor painter, they would have been furious for a long time; it must be Wen Laoer, who has always been arrogant and may be even more concerned about the difference between the door than the old man. After thinking about it, only Wen Xiding is left. What Xiaoxiao doesn't understand the most is the gardener. I really don't know what he thinks about this matter. Since he has not come forward to stop it, maybe he is watching the change like himself. I hope that Mr. Shi will not disappoint Xizi.

Wen Xixiu didn't know what Xiaoxiao was thinking about, so he followed his own ideas: "The painting meeting has been closed long ago, and Xingwen Lake is too far away from home. The one they are most likely to go to is Guyu Teahouse."

Xiaoxiao thought what he said made sense: "It's just that from Xu to Zi, it's been two full hours. Although Xizi has always been a sensible, these two hours have been too long."

"I'll go find her. If I meet that painter, I'll talk to him openly." Wen Xixiu took the reins of the white horse and asked a little in her eyes.

Xiaoxiao bit her lip: "I'll go with you."

"You ride my horse." Wen Xixiu gave his white horse to Xiaoxiao and decided to ride the dark horse that the servants had just now.

Xiaoxiao was at a loss for a moment: "That, I can't ride a horse."

"Um?"

It seems that horse riding is a basic skill for Kyoto women, especially those who have been to school for women, must undergo horse riding training.

Anyway, Wen Xizi can ride a horse, and several other friends can do it too.

——Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed: "I was hit hard for the first time when I rode a horse. Later, I was scared. From now on, I skipped classes every time I went to horse riding class..."

There are no carriages at hand at this moment, and there are many parking carriages. If you use one for a while, there will be a group of people without transportation after the show breaks out.

Xiaoxiao really didn't want to turn it back and borrow a carriage from President Jin.

"Get on the horse." A clear voice came from my ear.

Xiaoxiao didn't think much about it. At this moment, he just wanted to find Xizi quickly, so he quickly helped his saddle and got on the horse. There was still some basics, and it was fine to get on and off the horse, and ride it slowly. As long as you don't let yourself gallop like others.

The atmosphere was a little slow for a moment. After a while, the person behind him also got on the horse, and his arms around his shoulders to grab the reins. There was no obvious signal. The white horse ran, his steps were very light, as if he was having fun.

Xiaoxiao has never ridden such a cheerful horse, and it feels like riding a carousel at a carnival.

The people behind him had to come over and pat their horses head with their hands: "Don't mess around, go quickly."

The horse ran up seriously, and it was as if he had pressed the wrong button.

In this way, the two of them ran on Nanpu Street. In order to avoid pulling the reins like hugging a girl, Wen Xixiu basically kept sitting straight on the horse's back and let the horse trot all the way.

Xiaoxiao sat in front, and was a little stiff. At this moment, she felt that the nose was filled with the smell of the western mountains: bamboo, canaan pearls, small cypress trees, moss, soap beads, white tea, mint...

I felt like something was separating the ground, forming a mysterious sense of dislocation: on the one hand, I was anxious about Xizi, and on the other hand, I was indulging in this anxious situation...

It’s like you have to travel through a black forest at this moment, but you feel that the trees in the forest are all dark chocolate; or you have to step into a turbid river at this moment, and only after stepping in it will you know that a very warm hot spring is surging under the water...

The heroine, who was worried, took her mind and asked, "What is Brother Wen going to talk to the painter?"

"Ask him what he really thinks."

The words came from the left, and the left ear became soft and itchy: "What if he had to marry Xizi?" - I felt that my words had lost logic.

"Then you have to show your sincerity."

"What kind of sincerity does the Wen family want? Is it like the Dan Tai family?" Xiaoxiao turned around and asked the people behind him.

"No, the key is to look at this person." The driver seemed to be focused, his eyes looked at Xiaoxiao, and he felt a little soft in an instant.

"How do you think of people? What if this person wears a good fashion and slowly reveals his true appearance in the future?"

"The true form is the true form, and it will never change." The person behind him raised his whip, grabbed the reins with both hands, and galloped in the night.

Xiaoxiao didn't expect that Wen Xixiu had already seen through this matter: "We don't care what that person is. We are just afraid that Xizi will not understand it!"

"Then let him reveal his true appearance in front of Xizi."

Xiaoxiao felt that the sound behind her was a little cold, not as cool as before, but her body gradually became hot because of the horse. Her chin occasionally swept across her temples, which made her feel a hot touch.

It sounds like a good idea to let him reveal his true appearance in front of Xizi, but what should I do?

While I was thinking about it, Guyu Alley arrived soon, and the teahouse was at the entrance of the alley.

During the three months after the curfew was lifted, this teahouse was open all day and night, so people often chatted and drank tea all night here.

When the two arrived, the Wen family's carriage was parked in front of the teahouse. Wen Xixiu got off the horse first, and was about to half-support and help Xiaoxiao dismount. Unexpectedly, as soon as the teahouse curtain was opened in front of him, Shi Zuimo and Xizi walked out one after another.

Taking advantage of Wen Xixiu's dazed moment, Xiaoxiao hurriedly helped her get off the horse and looked at her partner walking out of the teahouse, and she felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

"Fourth Brother? Yingyuan?" Xizi looked at his family and friends in front of him. At this moment, he hoped that today's meeting was just a chance encounter.

Shi Zuimo's expression was unpredictable. Although he was not panicked, he was always nervous and embarrassed. He even wanted to walk away two steps and distance himself from Xizi.

Could it be that he wanted Wen Xixiu to feel that he and Xizi didn’t know each other at all?

Xiaoxiao didn't realize that a sneer appeared, but instead felt even more sympathetic to Xizi. Seeing that Wen Xixiu didn't say anything, she walked up to pull Xizi over. Before she could speak, she suddenly heard the cold voice behind her, "Go back with me."

Xiaoxiao only felt Xizi's hand tremble, and the two of them looked at Shi Zuimo at the same time, thinking that he would be angry, but he lowered his head slightly, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

Xiaoxiao suppressed the anger in his heart and said to Xizi on the surface: "Brother Wen is also worried about you. What if such a beautiful sister is kidnapped by someone~ Who knew that you were drinking tea here alone until late at night? Could it be that you have something to worry about?"

Today, I was planning to regard someone as air, but I actually hid aside and didn't dare to say anything. We simply pretended not to see you, and when did you plan to wear this embarrassing invisibility cloak?

Unexpectedly, Shi Zuimo and Xizi misunderstood Xiaoxiao's meaning. Both of them thought Xiaoxiao was covering up for themselves. Xizi also said, "There are no worries? It's just that people want to be alone sometimes." As he said that, he looked at Shi Zuimo again, "It was a coincidence that he met Mr. Zuimo from the painting club, so he asked him for some painting skills."

Shi Zuimo just wanted to pull out his legs and left. He couldn't help but laughed stiffly when he heard Xizi's words: "Yes, today is such a coincidence."

Wen Xixiu's face was still as cold as frost. He didn't even look at Mr. Shi, but said to his sister: "Going back tonight is a violation of family rules. My parents want to forbid you for three months."

The three of them were shocked by one sentence. Xizi was a little confused, so why did the fourth brother look like a different person today?

Shi Zuimo was even more panicked, thinking that Xizi's brother was usually such a cold and harsh person. Now, seeing how he was holding a horse whip, he seemed to be able to fall down at any time.

I only smiled and vaguely realized that Wen Xixiu had his own thoughts. At this moment, Shi Zuimo was slowly revealing his true appearance in front of Xizi.

Xizi looked at his fourth brother and his lover who was getting farther and farther away from him. He had no time to delve into the meaning of Wen Xixiu's dialect: "I have agreed with my mother to come home late tonight. We female classmates plan to go to the show after we have dinner, and the show will not end at this time."

Wen Xixiu raised his hand holding the whip and said nothing on his face: "That's not what the bodyguard said."

"Body Guard? You follow me..."

"This is also what parents mean. I am afraid that you, a girl, will suffer a great loss outside." Wen Xixiu's eyes deliberately or unintentionally swept over Shi Zuimo. "Although I don't know the specific identity of the person, if I see Guang, why don't I propose marriage to my family?"

Xizi's face looked very ugly. His eyes looked a little cold when he looked at Shi Zuimo, and his body was also cold.

Xiaoxiao held her hand, feeling cold as ice, and felt a little distressed, so she advised from the side: "You can't go home and say anything, why bother talking on this street? It's late at night, go home first."

Shi Zuimo breathed a sigh of relief beside him, turned around and bowed deeply to Xizi: "I'll say goodbye first."

Wen Xixiu's eyes kept falling on Shi Zuimo, but the latter did not dare to look up at his eyes, and he just lowered his head all the way and almost left.

Looking at his back in the night, he was a little staggering and embarrassed.

Xizi, not knowing whether he was sad, anxious, or angry, rushed to Wen Xixiu with some trembling words: "Why do you want to say that? Why do you have to ban my feet? And those bodyguards..."

Wen Xixiu directly intercepted her sister's words: "It is true that she is confined. From tomorrow on, there is no need to go to school or go out again."

"Why did Brother Wen say these angry words?" Xiaoxiao became a smooth move in the middle.

Wen Xixiu said: "Stay at home for three months and see what that person can do. If he really cares about you, you won't be able to bear everything alone."

Xizi's tears flowed down, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
