Female consort [Gl]

[25] Do you understand?

the atmosphere in the bedroom was quiet for a long, long time, even so long that it was a little embarrassing.

Qiu Che couldn't get the answer to this question, so he thought about it and asked a more tactful way in the somewhat suffocating silence:

"When I asked His Majesty for his decree, he told me that you had asked for it earlier. I've already said this."

"Did you know me then?"

But Li Qingwu remained silent for a long time, lowering his head and avoiding her eyes again.

He said softly: "It's just a one-way relationship."

A one-way relationship, which time?

Are you talking about that time in the attic?

Qiu Che frowned slightly, but in fact, he didn't really believe the truth of this sentence.

But Li Qingwu lowered his head and kept fidgeting with the veil, seeming to be very nervous about this issue.

She suddenly lost interest in pursuing the matter.

In the end, I didn’t continue to ask.

Qiu Che opened his mouth, raised his hand, and finally gently landed on the other person's shoulder.

Thousands of doubts turned into a sigh-like sentence: "Go to bed early."

There is still a lot of work tomorrow.

She turned around and just lay down on the bed and was about to close her eyes and rest when she heard Li Qingwu whisper softly: "Are we...sleeping in the same bed?"

Qiu Che opened his eyes and said in a slightly tired tone: "We are all women, what are you afraid of? ?"

Li Qingwu: "..."

While speaking, Qiu Che touched something on the quilt.

When I took it out, I saw it was a large white handkerchief.

Thinking it was Li Qingwu's veil, Qiu Che calmed down and put it back again.

Before Li Qingwu went to bed, he suddenly slowed down and glanced at the half-covered bed curtain beside the bed for no reason.

Qiu Che was half-leaning on the head of the bed, her long hair loosened from her shoulders, her eyes closed, and her breathing had calmed down.

Her facial expressions on weekdays are always calm and restrained that should not be seen at this age, and rarely have any vitality, as if the heart that is obviously beating has been dead for a long time.

Only when she closes her eyes, those tired, deep, and unclear things will briefly disappear from her face, making the bright and flamboyant edges of her whole body more conspicuous.

Li Qingwu glanced at it a few more times, and then turned his head again unexpectedly.

Just like what he had done in that hazy dream, he gently and carefully wrapped the wooden comb in a handkerchief and stuffed it into his sleeve.

She couldn't explain why she did this.

If I had to say it, maybe... it was the dream that had no beginning or end that gave her a somewhat frightening premonition.

That night, the two of them didn't speak again.

One is facing in, the other is facing out, lying quietly, with a gap that is neither wide nor narrow, but it is as clear as the Chu River and Han boundary.

——Obviously this should be the shortest distance in the world.

It seems to be still far away.

The next day, Qiu Che was awakened by the clanging sound outside.
