Splendid Twins

Chapter 186 Hug

Because she was thinking about someone, Si Yao unconsciously sped up her shopping pace, and the two of them returned to the courtyard with bags.

"Miss, take a break, I'll clean up."

Si Yao sorted out the things she bought and said in a brisk voice:

"No, both of you hurry up, what are we going to eat for dinner?"

Lan Ying was slightly stunned:

"You won't wait for the prince?"

Si Yao looked up at her and asked softly:

"Should we wait for him?"

"...How about I prepare more?"

"It's up to you."

Lan Ying smiled secretly, "My Lord, if you don't hurry up, you won't have any food to eat..."

It was getting dark, and some people were rushing to Shangjing without stopping.

"Uncle...I'm about to fall..."

Lu Yuan rode his horse with one hand. When he heard the weak voice of the little emperor in his arms, his face froze slightly. He held his collar with one hand and changed his position, with his back facing outwards, to face him.

“Be patient…”

The little emperor suddenly turned in a different direction, and for a moment he failed to control his strength, so his nose bumped into the man's hard chest. He tried hard to hold back the tears in his eyes and spoke:

"Uncle, do you know where aunt is?"

"Will it be another failure?"

"Will Aunt like me?"

"Uncle, am I a burden to you..."

Lu Yuan tried to hold back, but couldn't help it, so he reached out and patted the little emperor on the back:

"Don't make any noise!"

"Oh……"

The little emperor shut up obediently and lowered his eyes to hide the deep meaning in his eyes. He was very curious about the imperial aunt with two souls in one life...

The man who was guarding the imperial mausoleum broke into his bedroom one night and insisted on telling him a story. Because they were both members of the Xiao family, he kept it a secret. Some things can only be known to be true after seeing them with one's own eyes...

Fortunately, the curfew in the capital city started late. If it had been earlier, Lu Yuan would have been unable to enter the city in time.

"I'll take you to the inn."

"No... I don't want to, uncle, I also want to be the first to see aunt..."

Lu Yuan glanced over, his eyes were deep and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry:

"You want to go?"

The little emperor's face froze, and he immediately reacted and changed his words:

"I'd better go to the inn, wash up, and get enough rest. I'll visit my aunt tomorrow."

Lu Yuan stood still, his deep and sharp eyes looking at the little emperor, no, to be more precise, at the person behind him, and said in a low voice:

"Protect him."

The dark guard who almost blended into the night appeared and bowed his head and replied:

"As ordered!"

The little emperor glanced behind him, his eyes darkened slightly, and when he turned around again, he was innocent and talkative again:

"Uncle, do you want to change your clothes too? Auntie is a pretty girl who likes to be clean..."

Lu Yuan frowned and said unhappily:

"Be careful with your words. This is not Nanliang. Don't ruin her reputation."

Of course he wanted the little emperor to always call her imperial aunt, but it was not right for the moment. After all, North Vietnam was not his territory. If such a reputation spread, it would not be good for her.

"What are you shouting about?"

"elder sister?"

"How about... calling her Aunt Si?"

Si Yao: Thank you...

Lu Yuan: "..."

He regretted bringing this little idiot with him!!

He took a deep breath and lowered his voice:

"Go quickly!"

The little emperor curled his lips and said as if to himself:

"Sure enough, I am a burden..."

After saying this, without waiting for Lu Yuan to react, he turned around and walked forward, with the secret guard following closely behind him. The inn was just in front of him, but Lu Yuan watched him go in before leaving.

Lan Ying's cooking skills were taught by Liu Niang, and now she can cook a table of delicious food. After Si Yao had eaten her fill, she stood up and walked to the yard to digest the food. She spoke leisurely:

"How wonderful it is to have such a life of eating and drinking..."

Lan Ying chuckled, it is indeed good to live in a day without fighting and killing.

"There are a lot of mosquitoes and flies at night. Can I put some mosquito repellent incense for you?"

"No, I can't stand the smell."

Si Yao refused, saying that she was from the Xuanmen sect and did not need those things. A shielding talisman was enough.

Lan Ying came out after cleaning up the kitchen, looked at the night sky, and spoke in a negotiating tone:

"Miss, I have to go out for a while and will be back later..."

Si Yao didn't ask any more questions, just nodded:

"be careful."

Today, the Southern Liang delegation entered the city with great fanfare. It was understandable that Lan Ying wanted to see his fellow countrymen when he met an old friend in a foreign land.

"Then you should rest early."

After Lan Ying went out, Si Yao also went to wash up. Half an hour later, she walked out with her wet hair loose. Her eyes and eyebrows seemed to be gently washed by the morning dew, clear and bright.

Perhaps he was in a very good mood, as there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, creating ripples.

She walked to the table, poured herself a cup of tea and drank it slowly. There was only a candle burning quietly in the room. The faint flame flickered in the darkness, giving her outline a hazy halo.

Everything around seemed to have quieted down.

"Knock knock."

Suddenly, there was a knock on the courtyard door. Si Yao lowered her eyes and smiled softly, then stood up and walked to the door:

"Who is coming?"

Outside the door, Lu Yuan smiled silently and put his hand on his chest. He felt his heartbeat was unusually excited at this moment.

"your people."

The two of them were separated by the door, as if by a layer of transparent gauze. They were silent to each other, but there was an inexplicable joy in the air.

They seemed to be able to feel each other's mood at the moment, the joy and comfort, like the soft warm sunshine quietly climbing into their hearts.

The door slowly opened, and I finally saw the person I had been waiting for.

There was an uncontrollable light flashing in Lu Yuan's eyes, as if he saw a treasure that had been lost and recovered. The corners of his mouth unconsciously lifted up, revealing an unconcealable surprise and smile.

He stared at Si Yao quietly, as if he wanted to imprint her deeply in his heart, his eyes full of tenderness and love.

"Yaoyao, I'm here."

He would never leave her again, never again.

Si Yao was sure of her feelings and stopped pretending. She pulled him in and kicked the door shut. She clasped Lu Yuan's waist with both hands and pressed her cheek against his chest, feeling his strong heartbeat.

"Lu Yuan, you are here."

As soon as she opened her mouth, her voice became uncontrollably hoarse, like the emotion suddenly released after a long period of silence. There was a subtle hint of grievance in her voice, as if she was telling of the loneliness and anticipation accumulated during the days of separation.

Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment. He looked at her and saw that her eyes were slightly red, as if she was holding back tears, but the upturned corners of her mouth revealed a sense of joy.

At this moment, strong self-blame and guilt came over him like a violent storm, and he felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on his chest, so heavy that he could hardly breathe.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, then slowly stretched out his arms and hugged the person in his arms tightly.

His hands were clasped tightly behind her back, as if he wanted to merge her into his body. He lowered his head and gently rested his chin on the top of her head, feeling her soft hair and slightly trembling body. He closed his eyes, feeling extremely guilty for his negligence and leaving.

"Yao Yao, I'm sorry."
