Chapter eight hundred and fiftieth IX: Apologize

He habitually walked to the lively commercial street in the outer city. The dessert shops nodded from a distance and handed over the pastries they had prepared. Then enthusiastically brought an exquisite glass bottle to him and introduced it flatteringly: "Master Xiao Ge, why don't you try this again today? This is the Zuzhou crispy milk tea that has been so popular recently. It is not only mellow and delicious, but also has a strong fragrance. Men, women, young and old can come to you anytime and anywhere. It is convenient and delicious. I specially left you a portion. It doesn't cost money. You can take it back for your wife to try it!"

Although the sky was blowing, Xiao Qianye still took it with a cold look on his face. After all, he was completely uninterested in this sweet and greasy thing. The milk tea in the glass bottle was warm, with a layer of white cream floating on it, which looked extremely attractive. A young man came over with his hands, as if he had already figured out his situation clearly, and added secretly: "Zuzhou's milk tea is made of honey from fairy grass, sweet, and girls love to drink it..."

Before he finished speaking, he directly put the milk tea and Taoshu together. The young man was so happy that he raised his eyebrows happily to his companion behind him, which made the shop laugh and joked: "Everyone learns to Little Li Zi. His mouth is like smearing honey. A few packs of desserts and a cup of Little Li Mei tea make Master Xiao so happy. If he could make himself familiar with him, he would not say that one day our small shop would be filled with Li Zi's glory, and he could carry forward the branch and open the four major realms!"

Several guys pushed him aside with laughter, and said sarcastically: "George Xiao comes every day, and he is the most attentive! As soon as he walked to the street, he smelled the smell from his dog nose and packed everything and waited. He won't give me a few chances to show it!"

"Go away, can you rely on me if you are clumsy and slow to do anything?" Little Li was so funny that she blushed by them, and she muttered a few words with a strong voice.

While chatting and laughing, several people had already returned to the shop to greet the guests and chatted while busy: "But I really can't tell, the head of the military cabinet and the marshal, he actually likes to eat sweets?"

The person next to him glanced at him and whispered: "I don't know whether he likes to eat or not. The one in the family must love to eat."

"Who is at home?" Several people looked over at the same time, then covered their mouths and laughed in unison, "It's the cute little bird in the family..."

"Shut up! Why are you chewing on the tongue? Don't want to survive anymore, right? Go to work, who asked you to chat together!" As soon as this said, the big shopkeeper who was still turning a blind eye was shocked and his face changed suddenly. He ran over in two steps in three steps and raised his hand to coax the guys away. In just a few seconds, the big shopkeeper felt cold sweat behind him, and looked out with lingering fear. After confirming that Xiao Qianye had already left, he found a chair and sat down to breathe a sigh of relief.

A few guys stuck out their tongues and never dared to make trouble again.

Xiao Qianye walked back in a state of uneasyness and saw a few cages on the street vendors, including kittens, puppies, and a few cute animals that were not named. When the stall owner saw him stop, he immediately smiled and rushed over and introduced them. Xiao Qianye dragged his cheeks and stared at a big furry golden rat in the cage next to him. For some reason, he suddenly remembered that when he broke into the mountain city to investigate Wenrou Township, the last time he was guarding the gate of the auction hall were all huge golden rats, while Yun Xiao rarely showed a very excited expression.

Birds have the nature of catching mice. Even the well-trained blue birds, three-winged birds, and golden crow birds under his command were attracted by the group of rats below while patrolling.

A strange idea couldn't help but emerge...will she like this? Will a girl really like this big golden mouse with shiny fur and round frost?

Although his mind had not yet reached a conclusion, he pointed to the cage and said, "I want this."

"Okay!" The stall owner squinted his eyes and cleaned the cage carefully, and also grabbed a handful of rat food for him, and told him, "George Xiao has such a good attitude. This is the Jin Chongshi in Xuanzhou overseas. I heard that there are two branches. One is half a person's height after practicing to become a spirit, and he is very smart to speak! But the one who has become a spirit will not be sold now. I am catching another branch of rat in this cage. Although it cannot grow that big, you can teach it well after becoming an adult and can make do with a few words. It's very interesting!"

He took it, and didn't hear clearly what the stall owner was muttering. His mind was filled with the scene of Yun Xiao's eyes emitting light, and he asked, "Is it delicious?"

"Eat?" The stall owner was stunned and made a surprised expression, and asked with a dull expression, "Do you buy it for food? Xiao, Master Xiao, although there are not many people who buy it as a pet, but it is even rarer when you buy it for food. Moreover, it is as big as a slap, and it is quite cute. It is not enough to stuff the teeth, so you should stop eating it."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Qianye had already put down his money and walked away, leaving behind the messy stall owner in the wind, staring at his back in a daze, and did not come back to his senses for a long time.

When she returned home again, the backyard was exactly as quiet as the previous few days. Since that day, Yun Xiao moved to the guest room to sleep alone. Although he still went to say hello to her when he went out, and then he would like to bring her favorite desserts and pastries after returning home, she almost never responded. No matter what he said or did, the other party looked cold and cold, and he looked like he was keeping people thousands of miles away. He found an excuse to stay by her side for a while, but every time it was dark, he would be kicked out.

Her room had never been lit, and it was pitch black as soon as dusk passed. She buried herself silently in the darkness. Even if he knocked on the door worriedly, there would be no sound inside.

He wanted to force himself into several times, but when his fingers touched the door, the scene of her cried that night when she hugged her knees. He was either guilty or afraid that she would be frightened. He could only stay outside silently until the sky lighted up again.

After a long time, he walked to the door again and knocked on the door and said, "A Xiao, I'm back."

As expected, no one paid attention to him. He swallowed his mouth nervously and found an excuse to say to himself: "A Xiao, the plum sauce shop in the outer city has recently released a new variety, saying that it is a kind of crispy milk tea delivered from overseas Zuzhou. You can try it if it tastes delicious."

He pushed open the door and saw Yun Xiao sitting alone by the window. There was a faint flame at her hand, which could only illuminate the small desk. Seeing him walking in with something in hand, Yun Xiao raised his eyes and swept over quickly, and immediately regained his indifference and stopped looking at him. This scene has been going on for several days, but every day it still makes him feel a chill on his back. Every time he says a word, he has to think about it for a long time, for fear of making mistakes again, so he walked over and handed over the milk tea, quickly grabbed the chair and sat opposite him, with a numb scalp smile: "You try it first, it's still hot."

She grabbed Gudong Gudong without saying a word and drank it clean in a few sips, then returned the empty bottle to him and continued to look at the book in her hand.

Xiao Qianye was embarrassed and restless. She swallowed such a large bottle of crispy milk tea in two mouthfuls. Isn’t it obvious that she is still angry with him?

The atmosphere fell silent again. Just as he was thinking about how to break the deadlock, the Jin Chongshi in his hand screamed and suddenly there was a sound in the dead room. Xiao Qianye came to his senses and quickly put the cage on the table. With the faint light of fire, Jin Chongshi's fur appeared as beautiful as gold, as if the treasures in the darkness attracted Yun Xiao's attention. She curiously stretched out a finger and poked it. Jin Chongshi also came over and sniffed it.

I don't know if it was a kind of instinctive suppression by nature. Jin Chongshi, who was not refusing to live, let out a miserable scream when the tip of his nose touched her fingertips. His fur suddenly shrank into the corner with its teeth grinning. It waved its short front paws, and its eyes trembled continuously due to fear.

Xiao Qianye frowned and looked at the mouse that was inexplicably facing a great enemy. He thought that buying a mouse to make girls happy was indeed a crazy behavior. Just when he wanted to take the cage away, a long-lost laughter came from his ears. Yun Xiao teased Jin Chongshi with one hand, and shook his chin with the other hand and looked at it with his eyes shining. Then a thin layer of blush appeared on his pale cheeks, and he smiled happily: "Haha... it is afraid of me! I didn't show my original body to scare it, why are you afraid?"

He stared blankly, and his hand that reached out was held down by reason - she smiled. Although it was only a few days, it seemed that he hadn't seen her smile for a century.

It seemed as if a dull boulder finally landed on the ground. Xiao Qianye leaned against her a few steps, gently reached out and touched her hair, and finally could once again gently embrace her shoulders and asked in a low voice: "A Xiao, do you like it?"

Yun Xiao's laughter came to an abrupt end at this moment. The sudden silence made his heart make a violent "dongdongdongdongdong" sound. He knew that he could not move his gaze away at this time, so he just kept looking at her sincerely. Her eyes that were vaguely flickering with flames seemed to be a bottomless abyss, stimulating his inner embarrassment and regret, making him feel ashamed and forced to look at her gaze, and said seriously: "A Xiao, forgive me once, okay?"

There was a sourness in her eyes, and she choked for a moment and didn't answer. She didn't hear every word she said clearly, but she felt a huge gap in her mind, and she couldn't breathe.

Before Xiao Qianye could finish his words, she saw her face change violently. She immediately covered her chest and coughed. She suddenly remembered that the wound on her body had torn several times under her forced force that night. Xiao Qianye quickly picked her up and put her back on the bed. He carefully touched Yun Xiao's forehead. King Lie instructed that Jiu Suihe must rest after taking it, but she took the risk alone because of her fainting and broke her bones to relieve the situation. Now the decadent fire made her body temperature cold, and her condition never improved, and even showed a vague tendency to become more and more intense.

"A Xiao, don't hold on." Xiao Qianye held her hand tightly, worried.

Yun Xiao leaned on the pillow, turned his head and ignored him. I don’t know how long it took, but Yun Xiao couldn’t help but secretly look up and glanced at him. He found that he was staring at him without turning his eyes. He felt a little happy, and he still cursed with a strong voice: “Don’t quarrel at me, I’m so annoyed.”

"Okay, you have a rest sooner, I'll see you tomorrow." He pulled the quilt to cover her. Although he was still as cold as iron, he had already felt the warmth of the spring breeze after the first melting of the ice and snow, and bowed and apologized seriously to her again.

After she smiled, the Tianzheng Mansion, which had been dull for many days, seemed to see the blue sky with clearing the clouds and mist. Xiao Qianye could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Then he looked carefully and patiently. Deputy General Mu Xizhao looked at his transformation in surprise and reminded: "Young Pavilion Master, General Yang of the White Tiger Legion also arrived in the imperial capital yesterday. Including him, all the ten generals of the four major realms have arrived. The Spring Selection starts the day after tomorrow and lasts for seven days. At that time, five instructors and twelve major speakers will come. Do you want to meet them first and get familiar with them?"

He thought for a while and said with a smile: "Forget it today, I want to go back early and let them come to the military hall together tomorrow."
