But.
But —
After so much unwillingness, he finally clenched his fists and forced down the vigorous heat in his chest. He suppressed the sharp pain all over his body and made his limbs numb.
He took two steps back to the center of the bath and turned his face away. He said in the coldest tone, "Marriage is decided by the parents. The three letters and six rites, the three matchmakers, and the six betrothal gifts are not child's play. Xiao Shu, you must not make such a joke in the future. I am handicapped and not worthy of your marriage.
You were seriously injured before, so I couldn't tell you clearly. Now that you are gradually recovering, there are some things I must hand over to you. As a woman, it is inconvenient for you to watch me bathe here. You must not do this again in the future. I took care of you before because you and I had made an agreement long ago and made a blood oath that could not be violated. There were some areas where I was not considerate enough and caused you to misunderstand. It is my fault. In the future, I will pay more attention and will not offend you again. There is another thing I forgot to tell you. In fact, before you lost your memory, you were already engaged. That person, that person is someone you can rely on. He treats you sincerely. Tomorrow, we will leave for the capital. In three to five days, you will be reunited with him.
Jiu Si, please ask Lady Ning to leave. "
There was a short silence outside the door, and then a muffled "Yes."
Looking at him walking further and further away, and then at Jiu Si, who opened the door and walked over with a cold face, Ning Shu became anxious and threw herself into the bath without caring about anything else.
"No, no!" She was so agitated that she slipped and fell to the bottom of the bath. She choked on the water and desperately struggled in the bath. Xiahou Qing's expression changed and he immediately picked her up.
Xiahou Qing realized that he was too anxious. When she steadied herself by the side of the bath, he immediately flicked his sleeves and let go of her. He kept a distance of five feet and coldly faced her. He flew into a rage. "What are you doing? Do you want to die? "
Ning Shu coughed violently and grabbed his hand. She urgently expressed her feelings. "I, I only like you. I only want to marry you. I don't want anyone else!"
Her heart was in a mess, as if there were a lot of things that she wanted to say, but she couldn't sort them out. She could only tell him her feelings and determination over and over again, as if she was a child.
Xiahou Qing's long eyelashes trembled. If he opened his eyes right now, they would have turned red. However, he didn't. Instead, he calmed his heart and said again, "Jiusi, are you deaf? Take Lady Ning out of here immediately! They were preparing to leave for the capital the next day. From this day on, Lady Ning and I will not be staying in the same room, nor will we eat. We will not speak within three zhang of the carriage. Do you remember this? "
Jiu Si could not bear it in his heart, but he had no other choice. He could only reply, "This subordinate will keep it in mind. Miss Ning, leave with this subordinate. If you insist on not leaving, then I can only ask Miss Hong Fei and the others to escort you out. "
"Go away! Don't touch me! "Ning Shu forcefully pushed Jiu Si away and ran toward Xiahou Qing." I want you. I only want you! "
Xiahou Qing's lips curved into a cold smile. He retreated step by step, increasing the distance between them. "You see, you don't even remember my name. How can you say that you admire me? How can you say that you want me? You and I were originally strangers. We were accidentally connected by an alliance. After you were seriously injured, you were really miserable. I pitied you, pitied you. Now that you have recovered, my pity ends here. "
Ning Shu's wet face swayed in the wind and rain like the pomegranate flowers outside the window. She did her best to chase after him and reach out to grab him. However, she could only watch as Xiahou Qing came ashore from the pool, put on his outer robe, and walked out without any reluctance. He didn't even look back.
As Ning Shu staggered, she accidentally kicked over the plate she had brought over from the side of the pool. The fragrant orange duck, the translucent crystal cake, the crispy lotus leaf cake, and the ice cream cheese that she loved the most but couldn't bear to eat all rolled into the medicinal bath. Before they could float, they had already disappeared into the bottom of the pool.
It was very similar to her heart.
