She thought about it a lot …
She hoped that her guess was not wrong. She hoped that the face under the mask was the familiar face that she had been longing for for a long time. But she was also afraid, afraid that all her hopes would disappear the moment the mask was removed!
Jing Rong, it must be you!
It must be!
She lowered her eyes and took a deep breath. Her fingertips clenched the mask that was soaked in cold water. Bit by bit, she lifted it up. The air seemed to suddenly condense at this moment. Everything became very careful. When the mask was halfway lifted, she gathered her courage and looked up. Little by little, Li Chuan's face was revealed under the mask.
It was a face she was incomparably familiar with. His skin was very smooth and his facial features were sharp.
He was handsome and well-proportioned. Even though he was unconscious and slightly tired, he still exuded a cold and arrogant aura. He was like a celestial being!
Ever since then, every inch of his appearance had been deeply imprinted in her heart. She had never forgotten him day and night.
"Jing Rong." She couldn't help but cry out. The cold mask in her hand immediately fell to the ground. She reached out to caress his face, her tears falling uncontrollably.
Yes, Li Chuan was Jing Rong!
Even though the scars on his body were gone, his appearance was still the same. His habit of using a stick to light a fire was still there.
At this moment, she didn't know how long she had waited for this day to be reunited. All the searching and waiting in the past had been worth it.
She touched Jing Rong's face and said, "What happened to you all these years? Why don't you recognize me? But it doesn't matter, I won't let you leave again. No matter what happened in the past, it's all over. Whether you recognize me or not, I believe that one day you will remember me. Jing Rong, when you're better, I'll take you home. "
Jing Rong, when you're better, I'll take you home!
That night, she couldn't sleep.
Before the sky brightened, the sound of firecrackers could be heard from outside. One after another, the sound echoed in the villa for a long time. Today was Official Li's birthday, so it was naturally lively.
But Ji Yunshu didn't care at all. She stayed by his bedside. When Jing Rong woke up, she would take him away and return to Great Lin!
At this time …
Someone knocked on the door. "Miss Ji, are you awake?"
She was the maidservant in charge of serving in the villa.
She sat on the edge of the bed and held his hand tightly. She stared at him in a daze. She didn't pay any attention to the knocking outside. It was as if she couldn't hear it.
The maidservant knocked on the door a few more times, worried that something had happened inside. He shouted, "Miss Ji? Miss Ji? "
He shouted several times.
When the ladies who had already left their rooms heard this, they broke into a flurry of discussion, especially Qiu Shu. Her eyes pricked up as though they had grown needles. Yesterday's incident with the worm and the incident in Luoyang had left her unable to vent her anger. With nowhere to vent her anger, she walked over with a grunt and pulled the maidservant outside the door away.
He reprimanded, "Useless thing, is it so troublesome to call a person?"
"Miss Qiu, this servant …"
Before she could finish her sentence, Qiu Shu interrupted her, "Get lost, I'll do it!"
"Yes!"
Qiu Shu was the daughter of a noble family. Her actions should have been natural and unrestrained, but after so many incidents, she couldn't maintain the demeanor of a noble daughter. All she could think of was taking revenge on Ji Yunshu to vent the hatred in her heart.
She immediately raised her head and fiercely slammed the door a few times. She pretended to speak in a tone of voice, "Is the person inside deaf? Or is he dead? Today is Lord Li's birthday. Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you're General Wen's honored guest. We're all ready to go, but you're still hiding in your room, refusing to come out! "
Her words were very harsh and unkind.
Anyone who heard it would want to beat her up.
Even after she finished speaking, there was still no response.
Zhu Yao, who was not far away, also came out of her room and happened to see this scene. She tightened her grip on her handkerchief and was about to go over, but Cai 'er pulled her back.
Cai 'er whispered in her ear, "Miss, it's better if you don't go, in case …"
"What are you talking about? Miss Ji has helped me several times. How can I not go? "
"But …"
"No buts!"
Zhu Yao didn't hesitate and walked over. When Qiu Shu raised her hand to knock on the door again, she stopped her in time, "Miss Qiu, it's better if you don't knock."
'Oh my, a little white rabbit has learned to be a cat with claws?'
The onlookers all looked like they were watching a good show.
Qiu Shu's expression immediately turned cold. She looked Zhu Yao up and down and frowned. "What did you say just now? Say it again. "
In her mind, Zhu Yao was a rabbit that didn't know how to bark. She was the kind that could only be slaughtered by others and would never fight back. Now, she seemed to have changed. Her tone of voice even carried a bit of confidence.
For a moment, Qiu Shu thought that she had misheard!
Zhu Yao was actually afraid, but when she thought about how Ji Yunshu had helped her before, if she didn't stand up now, she would seem too heartless. Then, what difference would she have with these people? Thus, the usually timid Zhu Yao had no choice but to muster up her courage.
She pursed her lips and said, "Miss Qiu, Miss Ji is probably not feeling well. That's why she woke up so late. It's really not good for you to knock on the door."
"Not good? How is it not good? Why don't you tell me! "
"…"
Qiu Shu walked two steps closer to Zhu Yao. The corners of her mouth curled into a very sinister smile. "You should take care of yourself. Don't worry about others. Besides, I'm also worried about the girl inside. Say, if something happens to her and she dies inside, won't no one care?"
Zhu Yao wasn't good at arguing with others. Moreover, she had to admit that her words were reasonable.
If something really happened to Ji Yunshu inside, what should she do?
Thinking of this, she looked worried and glanced inside.
Qiu Shu sneered. Seeing that Ji Yunshu had listened to her words, she asked, "How about it? Should I continue to knock on the door? Or will you do it? "
Zhu Yao took a deep breath and stood at the door. She gently called out, "Miss Ji, are you inside?"
No one answered!
Qiu Shu hated her gentle temperament the most. She immediately pushed her and said, "You're really annoying. If you keep knocking like this, it won't be effective even if it's night."
Thereupon —
Qiu Shu clenched her fist and fiercely pounded on the door.
