Chapter 532 Reunion in the rain
Qi Sha didn't dare to object immediately, and said cowardly: "I want it."
Sun Fei and Jia Tong followed behind in a measured manner.
The two of them couldn't hear what Pei Yi and Qisha were saying at all, they could only see that the third son of the Pei family got off his horse suddenly.
"What is Mr. Pei trying to do?" Fei was full of confusion, gossiping with his little friend in a low voice.
Jia Tong couldn't figure it out either, and said uncertainly, "Maybe he's saying goodbye...?"
"Do I need to get off the horse to say goodbye?" Fei couldn't figure it out at all.
Jia Tong also couldn't figure it out.
Then, under the puzzled eyes of the two, their Highness took the horse and continued on.
Sun Fei and Jia Tong looked at each other, and both had the same thought in their hearts: Mr. Pei is really too arrogant.
Pei Yi doesn't know how others see her, and she doesn't intend to know.
She stopped and stayed where she was, silently watching Qi Sha go away.
Qisha and his party almost all rode on horseback, and soon disappeared into the night.
Pei Yi looked at the already empty direction, inexplicably feeling empty in her heart, and stood there in a daze, without moving a step for a long time.
Suddenly there was a sound of rolling thunder from the sky.
Pei Yi didn't care much.
After a while, the sky began to rain lightly.
Although the rain is not heavy, it looks extremely cool in the cold autumn.
Pei Yi let such raindrops fall on her shoulders, as if she didn't feel it at all.
But soon, the raindrops falling on her shoulders suddenly disappeared.
There appears to be a shadow cast over her head.
There was obviously someone standing beside her.
Pei Yi looked up and saw an oiled paper umbrella.
Then she moved her eyes to the side, and saw a man holding an umbrella for her to shelter from the rain in the night.
She called softly, "Kubira."
This man is Huo Yuan.
Since the Zhou Jieyu incident, she and Huo Yuan haven't seen each other for several months.
Although it's only been a few months, this man seems to have changed a lot—at least in terms of temperament, it feels very different from before.
In the past, Huo Yuan was a little bit energetic, always a little indescribably childish.
But now Huo Yuan looks very calm, giving him a feeling of being trustworthy.
But more importantly, Huo Yuan seems to have an aura of calmness and prestige, which seems a little unfathomable, or a little mysterious-this is a mysterious temperament that Huo Yuan has never had before.
And those who want to lead to the emperor's road, it seems that they will eventually develop this kind of temperament.
Huo Yuan put his arms around her shoulders, and wrapped her whole body in his cloak.
She heard the man slightly reproachful: "It's late at night, why didn't you wear a cloak when you went out?"
The man's body temperature quickly spread to her body.
Pei Yi quickly felt warm.
She subconsciously wanted to break free from this overly intimate state, but Huo Yuan held her tightly and stood beside her in an irresistible gesture.
Pei Yi's heart trembled slightly.
She didn't continue to resist this state, but instead asked, "Why are you here?"
Huo Yuan said without hesitation: "I was working nearby, and I happened to meet you."
Pei Yi naturally didn't believe this kind of rhetoric.
She raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "'Coincidental'?"
Huo Yuan was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "I came here specially."
Huo Yuan didn't deny it, but just defended: "To protect you."
Pei Yi was noncommittal.
Huo Yuan looked down at her, and said in a deep voice, "Don't you have spies by my side?"
Pei Yi's eyes trembled slightly, she didn't deny it, but she didn't admit it either.
In fact, these things are tacit to each other, and there is no need to say it.
It's just that Huo Yuan suddenly appeared in front of her in such a timely manner tonight, she really couldn't help asking.
The rain in autumn is mostly lingering, coming and going slowly.
Pei Yi felt a chill, turned around and walked back.
Huo Yuan held an umbrella for her, and followed her steps back.
Along the way, both of them were silent.
There is only the sound of pattering rain around, which sounds like a distant and empty feeling.
After walking a certain distance, Pei Yi suddenly asked, "Did you plant spies beside Qi Sha?"
Huo Yuan still did not deny it, and said frankly: "Yes, but there are not many people."
Pei Yi asked: "How many people are there?"
Huo Yuan turned his face slightly and glanced at her, suddenly smiled narrowly, and said wickedly: "Guess."
Until this time, Pei Yi found out a little familiarity from Huo Yuan.
Perhaps, she was too accustomed to the awkward and petty-tempered childish Huo Yuan before.
Now this kind of Huo Yuan, who has a sense of imperial majesty, makes her subconsciously feel a sense of alienation.
Pei Yi thought for a while, and asked tentatively, "Three?"
Huo Yuan's expression didn't change, he slightly hooked his lips and said, "I won't tell you."
Pei Yi was depressed.
She frowned slightly and glanced at the man, and whispered angrily, "You're all boring."
Huo Yuan did not deny it.
But he didn't take the opportunity to say something sticky as awkwardly as before.
The two fell silent again.
However, Pei Yi didn't feel embarrassed either.
This is a very strange experience, like two old friends meeting after a long absence. Although there is nothing to say, the two of them walking together quietly seem to be worth a thousand words.
The rain gradually became heavier.
The rain on the ground slowly accumulates, gradually forming small puddles one by one.
Pei Yi frowned slightly.
She looked down at her shoes.
I wear cloud-toed shoes today, not thick-soled soap boots. Now that there is more rain, the cloud-toed shoes gradually get wet, and water has seeped into them by now.
The socks inside were already wet and sticky to my feet, which was very uncomfortable.
Pei Yi secretly said that it was unlucky.
The arm on the shoulder was suddenly withdrawn.
Pei Yi was a little taken aback, thinking that this man finally figured it out and stopped walking with her in his arms?
She turned her head sideways, and saw Huo Yuan undoing the tie with one hand, and then took off the cloak and put it on her body.
Pei Yi hurriedly gathered the cloak tightly to prevent it from falling to the ground.
She said in a complicated mood: "What should you do?"
These words are weird, but the meaning is not difficult to understand—the cloak is given to me, what do you do? Are you not afraid of the cold?
Huo Yuan didn't answer this question, but just smiled a little limply, squatted down slightly, patted his shoulder and said, "Come on, I'll carry you on my back."
I carried you on my back, so I gave you the cloak. As soon as you are on my back, the cloak will directly cover me.
Pei Yi could understand these unfinished words.
