Yu Shu followed Xue Rui to visit Xue Jinxun. Because Xue Xiaomei was timid, on a day like today, Xue Rui asked the servants to prepare a table of food and wine for her alone. With a few close maids accompanying her, she did not seem lonely.
Yu Shu saw how attentively Xue Rui took care of his sister, and her heart was moved. She also had a Yu Xiaoxiu in her family, so she could naturally understand Xue Rui's feelings.
According to this, she found that she and Xue Rui had some surprising similarities.
For example, their father was dead, and although their mother was still alive, she was unreliable. Mother Xue was said to be weak and sick, and Aunt Cui was someone who needed others to worry for her.
For example, they both had a younger brother or sister who needed their care.
Being in the same boat, was this the reason why the two of them could see eye to eye?
.....
Yu Shu's absent-mindedness lasted until the end of the banquet, and Xue Rui sent all the guests to the entrance.
Liu Tan's position was noble, and he was placed in the middle. Before leaving, he said, "My mansion was built in the middle of the month. Originally, I was going to hold a banquet on the 15th, but the palace has to hold a water and land meeting, so it was moved back a few days. At that time, I hope you all can come and drink a cup of wedding wine."
Today, the people who came to celebrate Xue Rui's birthday were either nobles in the capital or young and promising rookies. They were not familiar with Liu Tan. At this moment, he made an invitation, which was better than abruptly sending an invitation to the door.
Sure enough, after a night of drinking, everyone readily agreed.
Xue Rui also pretended that he did not see through Liu Tan's trick. He waited for the carriages to pick up the guests, and in the end, he did not stop Yu Shu, but watched her and Xin Liu get on the carriage together.
When the people were gone, he turned his head and asked someone to take Gouyu, put on a black cloak, rode his beloved horse, and ran into the night.
.....
Yu Shu first sent Xin Liu to the Xin mansion in the north of the city, and then returned to the south. She sat in the car, holding the fan box in her hands, looking displeased.
"I said I wouldn't give it to him, but he really didn't want it."
This fan was specially made for Xue Rui, but who would have thought that it would not be given to him today.
If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have argued with him. It was too boring.
In her annoyance, she didn't notice when Liu Zhong's carriage had stopped. She didn't notice until the curtain was lifted from the outside and a dark shadow bent down to approach. She turned around and was almost scared to death.
This was an alley at the end of the night. It was so dark that one could not even see their own fingers. Only with the lantern hanging from the front of the car, Yu Shu could clearly see who was outside the window. Her heart skipped a beat.
"You —"
"Shh."
Xue Rui gestured with his hand on his lips and looked at both ends of the alley. When he did not see her spies following him, he lowered his voice and said to her, "Come down quickly."
Yu Shu hesitated for a moment and then bent down to get out of the carriage.
Xue Rui stretched out his hand and pulled her onto the back of the horse. He turned around and told Liu Zhong, "You go around Qianyuan Street and then wait in the alley behind the house in the south of the city. I will send your girl back."
Liu Zhong looked at Yu Shu and saw her nod, so he drove the carriage away obediently.
Xue Rui untied his cloak and wrapped Yu Shu's body. He turned the horse around and quickly left from the other end of the alley.
"In the middle of the night, are you going to take me to sell myself?"
"Haha …" Xue Rui laughed with wind. He grabbed the reins with one hand and covered the back of her head with the other, pressing her against his chest.
"Am I willing to do that?"
Yu Shu leaned on Xue Rui's chest. Separated by a layer of velvet cloak, she listened to the sound of the wind outside her ears as well as the faint rise and fall of his heartbeat. The gloominess from before was completely swept away.
He was such a cautious person. It was impossible for her not to know that he was willing to take the risk of being discovered to chase after her.
Yu Shu's temper came and went as quickly as it came. She forgot that she was unhappy in front of the door tonight. She reached out and wrapped her arms around his lean waist, raised her neck, and looked at his square chin. She straightened her body and kissed him.
"Pa!" Xue Rui's hand tightened on the reins, and he lowered his head to look at the person who was causing trouble in his embrace. However, he saw her smiling as she looked up at him, and she didn't seem to be the slightest bit embarrassed, yet it caused his heart to palpitate.
His legs squeezed the horse's belly and the speed increased. The snow white Magatama moved through the night like a flash of lightning. It was so fast that one couldn't see the person on the horse.
Yu Shu sat in front of him and buried her face in his chest to hide from the wind. After a while, she felt that the horse had slowed down. She lifted her head and pushed aside his cloak. She looked out and saw that they had actually arrived at the banks of the Chunlan River.
It was different from the bustling scene of the Double Seventh Festival. At this time, there was no one on the Chunlan River. The moonlight was slanting and the wind was clear. There was a faint smell of moisture in the air. There was a long row of lanterns on the dam in the distance. It was like a water dragon, sparkling like its scales and the watchtower on the shore was like its horns.
This view of the river was broadening one's mind. At this moment, the unknown worries and fears were all washed away by the waves of the river.
Xue Rui took off his cloak and put it on her shoulders. He wrapped one hand around her waist and the other held the reins as he strolled slowly with Magatama.
"Are you still angry with me?"
Yu Shu shook her head.
"Then where's my present?"
Yu Shu did not argue this time. She sat up straight and took out the fan box and stuffed it into his chest.
"Here, this is for you."
Xue Rui received it with a face full of smiles. He felt that it was a pity. He had already planned that if she was not willing to give it to him, he would take it for himself.
Yu Shu did not know how many times she had escaped. She urged him, "Take a look and see if you like it."
Xue Rui had received countless presents since he was young. But the excitement he felt now was far from what it was in the past.
He had already made up his mind that no matter what Yu Shu gave him, he would treat it as a token of their love and treasure it well.
But when he opened the box, he saw a black gold fan embedded in the center of the box and an amethyst fan pendant lying quietly in the corner. He was pleasantly surprised.
"This is …"
He let go of the arm around Yu Shu's waist and carefully took out the fan. He caressed the fan pendant that glowed with a purple light and slowly opened the fan. What entered his eyes was the green mountains of the distant mountains. The sixteen fan ribs were straight and straight, emitting a scholarly aura.
Xue Rui had read many treasures and knew that this fan was a treasure with one look.
Seeing the joy in his eyes, Yu Shu said with some pride, "This isn't an ordinary fan. It's made from a hundred-year-old peach tree root. It's extremely effective in restraining Yin and warding off evil. The silk surface is made from the silk of a cold silkworm. It's waterproof and moisture-proof, and can block sharp weapons. This amethyst pendant is also an item to ward off evil. I have kept it in the Wind Pond for the longest time. You have been in prison for a long time and have been contaminated with evil. After a long time, your luck has been ruined, so many bad things have happened. In the future, if you have this fan, you will not be afraid of those evil things. "
Listening to her carefully counting and thinking, he could imagine how much energy she had used to make this fan. His heart softened. He closed the fan and hugged her, who was still chattering, into his embrace. He whispered in her ear, "Ah Shu, I like it very much."
When he saw her digging her heart out for someone else, he only wanted to make her change her mind. He did not dare to hope that he would be able to obtain her sincerity.
Yu Shu was hugged tightly by him and thought that this gift was very much to his liking. She leaned on his chest and said with a smile, "The person who made this fan told me that I must give it a name so that it will not be in vain. Quickly think of an awe-inspiring name."
With her in his arms, Xue Rui could not think of a name at this time. He put the fan close to his chest and used his chin to rub her forehead. He said in a low voice, "I can't think of a name right now. Why don't you give me some ideas?"
Yu Shu said, "I can't even write well, how can I give you ideas? If the name is vulgar, it will be shameful. I don't know how to do it."
Xue Rui said with certainty, "You will."
Yu Shu was feeling strange when a shadow fell over her head. The last thing she saw was his eyes that were as bright as the stars.
"Oh."
Xue Rui nibbled on her soft lips gently. When he noticed her slight struggle and protest, he pinched her earlobe and coaxed her in a low voice, "Be good and let me kiss you. I'll have an idea later."
Yu Shu wanted to laugh at his shamelessness, but she did not have the heart to reject him. Since there was no one around, it was fine to let him kiss her. So she pushed him twice and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Xue Rui knew that this was not an opportunity to be missed. He hugged her waist tightly and entered her lips and tongue, tasting her.
This kiss was out of control. Yu Shu was a novice, but Xue Rui was a veteran. He kissed her until she was out of breath. Only then did he change his position. With a fragrance on his lips, he kissed along her soft chin to her slender neck. His hands were under the cloak, holding her soft waist and slowly rubbing it.
Carrying the man and woman on her back, Gouyu did not even look back. She walked forward steadily. When she saw the wild flowers and grass on the side of the road, she only glanced at them and did not go forward to nibble on them.
Yu Shu's neck was numb and itchy from his kiss. She shivered twice and wrapped her fingers around the back of his burning neck. She tilted her head to avoid him and said with a hot face, "Do, do you have an idea?"
"No …"
Xue Rui stuck close to her collar that had slid down and lightly bit her shoulder. He didn't dare to leave behind a mark, yet he was unable to endure the temptation of the faint layer of fragrance on her body. He clenched his palms and lifted her up gracefully, then carried her from the horse's back onto his lap. He made her sit up high, and his hands conveniently supported her buttocks.
Yu Shu was at the age of growing up. The food she ate in Wang Ji Restaurant was all pure food. She was not lazy and active. After half a year of recuperation, she looked slender, but the places that should have meat were not lacking. Not only were her two long legs straight, but her buttocks were round and perky.
Xue Rui raised his palm and knew what was good for him. He rubbed it again, his eyes almost glowing green.
Yu Shu saw that he wanted a foot after taking an inch. She was angry and embarrassed, so she hit his back twice.
Xue Rui didn't feel any pain, and he laughed hoarsely before lowering his head and firmly kissing her left breast. He leaned his face to the side and listened to the sound of her wildly beating heart in order to calm the heat in his body. He knew very well that if he took another step forward, it would be difficult for him to guarantee that he wouldn't swallow her whole.
Although he stopped thinking, he had no intention of letting her go. Xue Rui raised his head and met her angry eyes. He laughed and said, "I have an idea."
"What?" Yu Shu stared at him fiercely.
"You gave me this fan. It is called Mu Jiang."
Yu Shu felt strange and said, "Why is the fan empty? There is no river or water. What river is there to admire?"
Xue Rui laughed heartily, "If there is no river, I will draw one. What I admire is not the river, but you."
