What for?
The rain finally stopped.
After Xiao Qingqian finished with his official business, it was already close to midnight. His mind was a little dizzy, yet, he was not the least bit sleepy.
The air after the rain was sweet and cool. He took a deep breath and walked out of the study. As he casually walked, he thought about what method the Northern Reaches would use to control the rapidly growing Southern Reaches after they had taken away their protons.
Unknowingly, he had arrived outside Wei Qing's sleeping quarters.
The candle flame was not extinguished yet, causing Xiao Qingqian to frown, on one hand he was surprised that he had unknowingly walked over, on the other hand he was surprised that it was so late, on the other side he was surprised that Wei Qing had not rested yet.
Could it be that he was reading the book again?
Every time she looked at the book, she seemed to like to laugh.
Her beautiful smile under the sunlight once again appeared in her mind. She walked in unconsciously.
In the resting hall, Wei Qing was using her dagger to grind the parts of a magic cube. On the table, there were already a few small pieces of wood that looked similar.
Xiao Qingqian could not help but be curious, ”What is this?”
Suddenly hearing Xiao Qingqian's voice, Wei Qing's hand trembled. The dagger cut through her fingers like mud, and captivated her completely.
Xiao Qingqian's forehead was twisted into a knot, ”Is he that excited?”
Wei Qing put her finger in her mouth, and muttered vaguely, ”Do you know that people can scare people to death?”
A faint smile surfaced on Xiao Qingqian's face as he pulled at Wei Qing's hand, ”This kind of menial work would not be handed over to the servants?”
Wei Qing allowed him to bandage his wounds. The two of them were extremely close, and the unique Qi on each of their bodies flowed into each other's lungs along with their breathing, causing the atmosphere to immediately become very ambiguous.
When Xiao Qingqian raised her gaze, she could clearly count her eyelashes that were like a fan, and also her eyebrows that were so tight that they were about to become pimples.
”What are these?” This was the first time Xiao Qingqian had seen these things, and he was very curious.
”What fun!”
”Answer This King!” Xiao Qingqian's tone carried a thick impatience.
Can't Wei Qing be gentler?
She wanted to talk to him in such a tone!
Wei Qing focused on him, felt that he probably wasn't here to cause trouble, and told him the uses of these things.
”Magic Cube?” Xiao Qingqian frowned, ”What is that thing?”
”You'll know when it's done!” Wei Qing once again held onto her dagger and prepared to grind the slots that were not too smooth.
Seeing such a stubborn her, Xiao Qingqian's heart was filled with anger.
He had said earlier that these menial tasks could be left to the servants. At most, there would still be him!
Wei Qing was unhappy and wanted to snatch the dagger from her hand. As the two fought, the sharp dagger cut into the back of Xiao Qingqian's hand.
”Wei Qing, you don't know what's good for you!” Xiao Qingqian glared at her with scarlet eyes.
Wei Qing curled her lips, ”The water and fire between you and I were originally incompatible. Who knows if you were scheming something else?”
”You — —” Xiao Qingqian's expression completely darkened. He left with a flutter of his sleeves, and the blood on the back of his hand dripped to the ground.
After he completely left, Wei Qing could not help but scratch her head and muttered, ”Who is it!”
When Tian Sisi heard that Xiao Qingqian went to Wei Qing's hall last night and was even injured, he remembered that should not be able to get close to her since he forged the wedding handkerchief. However, she did not expect him to have such an important place in his heart, causing her face to turn pale in anger.
