Traveling through troubled times, he fled with his stepson

The word "Qi Niang" made Wei Qiqi a little confused, but she recognized Li Yuan's voice and footsteps, so she knew it was safe.

"Xiaobao?"

It was pitch dark. Apart from the bright moonlight shining on the ground, which gave a rough idea of ​​the room, nothing else could be seen.

In the middle of the night, Wei Qiqi felt uncomfortable having multiple people enter her room.

"Why are you back?"

Wei Qiqi said as he fumbled to get up and tried to light the fire himself. Seeing Xiaobao like this, it was impossible to expect him to light the candle.

But while moving, Wei Qiqi lost her balance and stumbled, feeling like she was going to fall off the bed.

A pair of hands held Wei Qiqi in their arms and placed their hands on her shoulders to steady her.

When I breathed through my nose, I could smell the soapy scent and heat from Li Yuan's body.

This is too close.

Beyond the normal range and normal relationships.

If she and Li Yuan had hugged each other before, it was because Li Yuan was still young, a little pudding. Later, when he grew up and could no longer lift his body, Wei Qiqi would at most touch his face and caress his head.

There has never been a situation where they are so close as they are now.

wrong.

There were times when they shared a horse before, but that was when they were forced to do so.

After all, Li Yuan is a man, and his hands are particularly big, especially his ten fingers are long and slender with distinct joints. Now, the hand that Wei Qiqi once admired repeatedly is resting on her shoulder. Because she is only wearing underwear, she can clearly feel the hot temperature coming from his hand.

It was so cold outside, but his hands were so hot.

Wei Qiqi felt something was wrong and broke free from Li Yuan's hand.

"Xiaobao, light the lamp first."

Darkness easily breeds all kinds of thoughts and emotions. Wei Qiqi's alarm bells rang and she just wanted to light a candle quickly so that she could see things and judge things.

Li Yuan did not move.

Wei Qiqi held her breath, her heart beating like a drum.

After a moment, she noticed that Li Yuan was moving and moved a little away from her to light the candle.

His departure no longer felt invasive, allowing her to slowly breathe a sigh of relief to dissipate the oppressive feeling that Li Yuan had just brought her.

Candles were lit one by one until everything in the room could be seen clearly.

In the dim room, there are flickering lights and two silent people.

Li Yuan remained silent, and Wei Qiqi didn't know what was wrong with him. She also didn't know what was wrong with herself, and why there were so many thoughts in her mind.

These thoughts seem ridiculous when they are spoken out loud.

But she still cares so much about it.

"Xiaobao, if you are tired, go down and rest first. We will talk about anything tomorrow morning."

Wei Qiqi asked Li Yuan to go down first. With the lights on, she could naturally see the fatigue on Li Yuan's face and guessed that he had rushed all the way here.

Li Yuan raised his head which had been hanging down. He was so tall that even if he stood farther away than he had just stood, he still seemed to be a nerve-wracking sight.

After being out for more than half a month, it was obvious that he had become a little darker. Life outside was not easy and he had a few cracks on his lips. However, he was dressed neatly and even his hair was tied meticulously.

Wei Qiqi glanced from top to bottom and did not miss the wound at the base of her hand. It looked like it had been there for several days, but it was still very hideous.

It was fine because she didn’t look up before and couldn’t see the look in his eyes, but now that she saw that look, she felt as if she was burned.

"Come back... and take a look at you."

Li Yuan finally spoke. His voice was hoarse and a little gravelly, as if he had not spoken for a long time.

"You look a lot thinner. Go down and have a rest first. How about we meet again tomorrow?"

There was a hint of unknown coaxing in Wei Qiqi's tone, which made the gloom in Li Yuan's eyes even heavier.

It's the same coaxing words as if you were coaxing a child.

Qi Niang always treated him as a child.

Even though he is taller than others, even though he has done things and killed people, in Qi Niang's heart, he has always been her child.

Her young child...

Li Yuan took a step forward. This step made Wei Qiqi's heart tremble. She subconsciously took a step back. She knew that something was out of control.

His tall body blocked out half of the light in the room. He took a step forward and blocked out some more. The shadow enveloped Wei Qiqi's figure, completely enveloping her.

Seeing Wei Qiqi's subconscious movements and panic-stricken expression, Li Yuan paused and didn't take another step forward. He was just unwilling to miss such a good opportunity.

Until now, Qinniang still treats him as a child.

Even if the frog is boiled in warm water, it will still be there.

Li Yuan took a deep breath and knelt down in front of Wei Qiqi.

The sound of his knees hitting the ground startled Wei Qiqi as he recalled the nightmare.

"Qiniang."

"I will be seventeen next year."

Wei Qiqi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and too many emotions made it difficult for her to calm down.

The current situation made her feel at a loss. Her eyelashes were trembling constantly and were about to fly away if they flapped faster.

"so……"

"Li Yuan!"

Wei Qiqi shouted to stop him from saying the next word. She didn't even dare to think about such a thing.

"It's too late. It's not appropriate for you and me to be in the same room. Go down first. I'll come find you tomorrow morning."

In the end, it was inappropriate and inappropriate. When Wei Qiqi said these words, her voice couldn't help but tremble. It was like a thin layer of paper placed there. If you don't think about it, you won't pierce it. But one day when you think about it, the thin paper will be shattered without even needing to be pierced.

Li Yuan knelt and looked at her straight. Even when he knelt down, Wei Qiqi, who was sitting on the bed, looked at him at eye level.

Seeing the emotions in Li Yuan's eyes, Wei Qiqi's heart suddenly jumped, and she felt dizzy. She knew that she was not overthinking.

It is real.

"Qiniang."

"go out!"

Wei Qiqi didn't dare to stay in the same room with Li Yuan again. She didn't know whether Li Yuan had been drinking or not, and she didn't know what Li Yuan wanted to do.

Her intuition told her that the situation could not develop further.

The two words "Li Yuan" in front and "go out" in the back were both spoken in a rare harsh tone by Wei Qiqi. After all, Li Yuan didn't really want to make anyone angry.

And just now, Qiniang said it’s not appropriate for you and I to be in the same room.

As long as Qi Niang treats him as a normal man, his goal today will be achieved.

Li Yuan knelt down and kowtowed to Wei Qiqi.

This knock made Wei Qiqi's thoughts even more confused.

If she knew now that Li Yuan's kowtow today represented a complete farewell between Li Yuan and her, Qi Niang's identity, she would probably not let him kowtow no matter what.

But she doesn't know.

After knocking, he stood up quickly and extinguished the candles around him.

The surroundings fell into darkness again.

The sound of the door closing was heard a moment later.

Return to a quiet state, as if nothing had happened.

Wei Qiqi was still sitting on the bed. Her heartbeat was so fast and so loud that it hurt her eardrums.

If the feeling of touch on her shoulder had not lingered, she would have thought it was just her imagination.

Xiaobao...

What does Li Yuan want to do?

He suddenly went crazy and exposed everything. How are they going to get along with each other in the future?

He was... when did it happen?
