Kneel down and beg to return to the field

This year, Wei Lai spent the Mid-Autumn Festival with He Zhi. The two went to the Lantern Festival together, bought lanterns, let off the river lanterns, and then enjoyed the Mid-Autumn Moon and tasted sweet-scented osmanthus wine together.This night was spent, but it was a rare enrichment and relaxation.

After the moon was in the sky and the excitement of the Mid-Autumn Festival gradually calmed down, it was finally time to say goodbye.

Wei Lai has faced too many separations in his life, even life and death.From the initial sadness, to the later numbness, to the current habit, she thought that she would no longer have any emotional fluctuations because of this "small matter".But at this moment, she still couldn't help but move slightly in her heart. Naturally, it wasn't sentimental, but just a little bit reluctant.

I just regard her as a friend, and she is the first friend who has heard me say so much in all these years.Wei Lai turned his head to look at He Zhirou's profile, and told himself so in his heart.

After just two glances, Wei Lai still felt a little bit reluctant, and finally said, "It's late at night, and there are many people on the street tonight, and it's also chaotic, why don't I send you back."

When He Zhi heard this, she turned her head to look at Wei Lai, then smiled slightly, and replied, "Okay." She didn't say thank you or be polite, and with this gesture, it seemed that the two were unexpectedly close and familiar.

Wei Lai heard the affirmative answer as he wished, and a smile bloomed on his face undisguised.Her smile is clean and pure, even if she doesn't have a world-renowned face, it is still enough to attract people's attention.It was as if He Zhi was looking at her with his head tilted at this moment, but he couldn't help but be dazzled by that smile, and lost his mind for a rare moment.

"A big man, what's the matter with smiling so nicely?" Xi Qiu, who was beside He Zhi, muttered in a low voice.But what I have to say is that after this night of getting along, her perception of Wei Lai has improved a lot, at least she no longer glared at Wei Lai with cold eyes from time to time like in the beginning.

Sounds at night always seem to be amplified countless times, so Wei Lai heard Xi Qiu's whisper, and He Zhi also heard it.The two felt a little embarrassed for no reason, and they turned their faces away at the same time.

"Hey, that, I'll take you home." Wei Lai coughed lightly, and instead of looking back at He Zhi, he walked towards the east of the city.

"A big man is actually shy!" Xi Qiu muttered again.Wei Lai naturally heard it too, and at the same time his ears were secretly stained with crimson, he unconsciously quickened his pace by two points.

Under the moonlight, the man's figure was still straight and his steps were still steady, but He Zhi, who had always had good eyesight, didn't miss the momentary pause and the light red that sneaked up the base of his ears.The corners of her mouth curled up slightly unconsciously, and her plan to stop Xi Qiu from speaking out was quietly put down.

The south of the capital city is far from the east of the city, neither far nor near, the three of them walked for less than half an hour before finally arriving outside the He Mansion.During this period, Xi Qiu finally said nothing to embarrass Wei Lai, but Wei Lai and He Zhi did not communicate any more, and the three walked back to He Mansion almost in silence.

The quietness along the way made Xi Qiu feel a little boring, but He Zhi and Wei Lai didn't think so.One of them is used to being quiet, so naturally they don't think there is anything wrong with being quiet, but the other just feels that there is an inexplicable peace in their hearts when walking with this person beside them, and naturally they are more willing to even enjoy the quietness along the way .

It's just that the road wasn't too long after all, and the three of them finally reached the He Mansion.

At this time, midnight is approaching, usually it is late at night, but today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, after all, it is a little different, there are still horses and horses passing by on the street in the east of the city from time to time, presumably they are young masters and ladies who are traveling at night , now I'm finally back home.

Looking at the horses and chariots passing by, Wei Lai finally realized belatedly that He Zhi walked back with her just like that.It stands to reason that, as the daughter of Shangshu, it is impossible for Miss He to appear without a carriage or sedan chair, and it is impossible for her to walk the long way from the east of the city to the south of the city.But in the end, she didn't see any trace of the He family's carriage or sedan chair...

I vaguely understood something in my heart, and was a little annoyed.But Wei Lai was not a reckless person, so naturally he would not ask rashly, so he could only hold back in his heart, and only looked at He Zhishi, his eyes became more complicated.

If He Zhifang didn't realize it, she still had a gentle smile on her face, and her voice was as soft as ever: "I'm home. It's getting late, General Xiao Wei should go back to rest earlier."

Wei Lai opened his mouth, but didn't say anything in the end.She nodded slightly, and said, "You go in. It's not too late. I'll watch you go in before leaving."

So He Zhi didn't say anything more, and after a simple farewell, she led Xi Qiu to the gate of He Mansion.

Xi Qiu raised his hand to pick up the door knocker and buckled it. The dull voice was heard far away in the night.After a while, the door of He Mansion also opened.The concierge was obviously still waiting for He Zhi's return. Seeing her hastily greeted her and stepped aside, she caught a glimpse of Wei Lai who was still standing outside the door, so she couldn't help but take a second look.

He Zhi didn't say anything, and stepped into the door.Xi Qiu glared at the concierge, as if with some warning, but also entered the door without saying anything.The concierge touched his nose, not daring to look any further, and quickly closed the door again.

Wei Lai didn't stay outside the gate of He Mansion for long, almost as soon as the concierge closed the gate, she turned and left, as if she had no attachment at all.Just as she was taking a step, she remembered something again - earlier she had been thinking of apologizing to Miss He for He Lin, and also needed to explain the misunderstanding last time, but after the two of them stayed together for so long, she unexpectedly Forget about it!

A trace of annoyance flashed across his heart, but he was relieved in an instant.Seeing Miss He's appearance today, she must have never taken this matter to heart, right?It shouldn't matter if we explain it next time we meet.

I just don't know when will we see you next time.Or is she, who is about to be disarmed and returned to the farm, waiting for the next time?An inexplicable sense of loss flashed across my heart, and even the pace of leaving was not as brisk as when I came.

On the other side, as soon as He Zhi entered the house, he was called to the main courtyard.

Although He Shangshu and Mrs. He went to the palace for a banquet today, they came back much earlier than He Zhi.As soon as Mrs. He returned to the mansion, she heard that her daughter hadn't returned from an outing, and she was a little worried, so she never stopped.When He Shangshu saw her, he didn't take a break, took a book and read it aside, as if he was waiting with her.

Just wait until it's almost midnight.Even though tonight is the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are always a lot of people going out to play, and it is definitely not early at this time.In addition, He Zhi is not a playful character, so she shouldn't have stayed home so late.

Mrs. He finally couldn't sit still, and planned to send someone to look for it.He Shangshu was still calm, looked away from the book in his hand, glanced at her, and said: "Wait a little longer, it's time to come back."

Sure enough, before He Shangshu finished speaking, it was not time for a cup of tea when news of He Zhi's return to the mansion came from the porter.Mrs. He finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, but her previous worries prevented her from waiting until tomorrow, so she called someone here at night.

When He Zhi entered the room, Mrs. He looked him up and down first, and found nothing wrong. Seeing that the expression on He Zhi's face was still normal, she complained: "Zhi'er, why did you arrive so late?" Come back? It made me worry about this for my mother."

He Zhi pursed her lips, but didn't explain anything, she just went to Mrs. He's side and pulled her sleeve to admit her mistake obediently: "Mother is worried, it's my daughter's fault. This time I just had fun and forgot about the time, Never again."

Of course, Mrs. He would not accuse He Zhi of anything, she would be happy if her daughter had fun, and she would not pursue anything after just nagging.

He Shangshu put down the book at this time, raised his eyes and asked with great interest: "Zhi'er, how are you doing tonight?"

He Zhi raised her head upon hearing the sound, and the eyes of the father and daughter met for a moment, as if there was a thousand deep meanings in it.After a while, He Zhi nodded lightly, with a slight smile on her face: "It's okay."

The author has something to say: Lord Shangshu said: The resignation report has been sent up, girl, do you take a fancy to her?If you see it, hurry up.
