After the death of the previous emperor, the Empress Dowager became arrogant

Chapter 392: You won't even let me touch you, you're so stingy

She didn't have time to make any detailed plans. She just stood up, blew out the light near the window, went back to the innermost part and took out something from her arms.

Suddenly there was a rustling sound outside the door, followed by three regular knocks on the door.

Yuan Qing quickly read the contents, burned the note, and waited until it was completely burned before getting up and opening the door.

The man outside the door was dressed in black and was hidden under the eaves, making it difficult to see clearly.

Yuan Qing looked at the house next door, pulled someone and said, "Come in first."

As soon as Yuan Yi entered the room, he smelled a strong smell of alcohol on her.

"you've been drinking?"

Yuan Qing nodded subconsciously, "It was Yang Shao who forced me to drink. I couldn't resist, so I drank some with him. But I knew the severity of the problem, so I didn't drink too much. The smell was from Yang Shao on me."

Yuan Yi was silent for a moment, then suddenly walked into the room, took in all the clothes prepared by the Yang family, pulled down the bed curtains, and drew a curtain around the bathtub.

Yuan Qing was just about to take out clothes to change, but when she saw him busy behind her, she was stunned for a moment.

She wasn't going to take a shower, so what was he doing?

Yuan Yi came out, his body also stained with steam, and his arm was still covered with the coat she had just taken off, "Go take a shower, it will help you feel more awake."

"I'm not drunk. I was just pretending before. Don't you know how much I can drink?" Yuan Qing felt that he was a little puzzled. "I finally took out such a little time. How can I waste it on these things?"

Yuan Yi pursed his lips and said, "It's just to get rid of the alcohol. It won't take long. Go ahead. We've prepared everything for you."

Yuan Qing thought about it and agreed.

She reached out her hand to test the temperature of the water, and out of the corner of her eye she caught a glimpse of someone whose pace had noticeably quickened, and she couldn't help but smile.

She didn't know when it started, but Ayi, who didn't talk about business, always seemed uncomfortable when he was with her, and would run away at the slightest chance. This had never happened before.

Yuan Qing looked at his figure standing in front of the window.

Did it work, or did it just push him further away?

She doesn't understand either.

Alas, there is still a long way to go.

Yuan Yi carefully folded her clothes, put it in his arms, looked up at the bright moon hanging high in the night sky, and suddenly heard a sigh from inside the room.

What is she sighing about?

Listening to the sound of water inside, the tips of his ears turned red, and then he concealed his gaze and shifted it to a farther place.

As time was urgent, Yuan Qing simply washed off the smell of alcohol on his body, tied his hair slightly, and pushed the door open.

A large fur cloak suddenly covered her head, covering her whole body tightly. The nagging voice fell into her ears: "Why did you come out like this? What if you get sick? It's been so many years, why haven't you——"

Yuan Qing raised her head which was wrapped like a ball of fur and looked at him. "Okay, okay, I know I was wrong. I will remember it next time."

She held up two fingers to assure him.

The man laughed quietly, hugged her and jumped over the wall, and they both landed on the horses that had been prepared long ago.

A gust of wind blew into Yuan Qing's neck, making her neck shrink due to the cold.

"cold?"

Yuan Yi hugged her from behind, tied the knot of her woolen coat, stretched out a hand to turn her around, and pressed her head into his arms.

"Hold on tight, drive!"

Listening to the whistling sound of the wind in his ears, Yuan Qing stretched out his arms and hugged the strong waist he had longed for, and curled himself up into the cloak with satisfaction.

Tsk, I did hug her, but it’s a pity that there’s no real touch.

When was the last time?

Yuan Qing thought about it carefully, and she suddenly realized sadly that in all her years, she had never touched a man's abdominal muscles!

Thanks to an old man in her family, she was lucky enough not to suffer from misogyny. All she thought about all day was work. Even if a man approached her, she would be extremely defensive and extremely suspicious of men, not to mention intimate contact.

Now that I think about it, I really lost a lot!!!

But she couldn't do anything like forcing someone to have sex with her. She still liked to put the meat into the bowl bite by bite and savor it slowly. That was the real taste.

My bestie always says that the knife that pierces a man’s waist can kill him. How does it kill him?

She is quite curious.

Yuan Yi clasped his arms tightly and spoke in a stiff voice above her head: "Don't move."

Yuan Qing came to his senses and found that his hand had been spread over someone's muscular body without him noticing, as if he was about to do something inappropriate.

After being caught, she could only withdraw her hand with regret, pursed her lips, and whispered: "You won't even let me touch you, you're so stingy."

Yuan Yi almost laughed out of anger.

Can you blame him for this?

The reason why he no longer wanted to be with her was because she always liked to take advantage of him unconsciously and then slip away without any intention of taking responsibility.

It's already not easy for him to endure until now, okay? How dare she turn the tables on him?

With resentment in his heart, his voice was no longer as gentle as usual, "If you move again and cause both of us to fall off the horse, then we can wait until tomorrow. There is no rush anyway."

As he spoke, he wrapped her cloak tighter around her to prevent any wind from getting in.

Yuan Qing put aside his messy thoughts and squinted his eyes comfortably.

This is the man she raised. His appearance, personality, behavior and other aspects are all to her liking. His only shortcoming at the moment is that he cannot communicate with her.

Perhaps nothing is perfect.

She didn't force it. Even she didn't understand it, let alone an ancient man who regarded duty as his life.

Being able to treat her as an equal might be the most inappropriate thing he thought.

She raised her head, looked at the man's obviously thin jaw, and murmured, "It would be great if you could always be by my side. If it were someone else, I'm afraid I wouldn't be used to it."

These words hit him like a heavy hammer in the heart. Yuan Yi suddenly stopped his horse and locked his eyes with her. "What do you mean?"

"It's nothing." Yuan Qing yawned, leaned on his chest and closed his eyes, "Don't think too much, I just think that habit is a very scary thing. Every day in the future is full of variables. I force too many things, and I'm afraid that one day I won't be able to grasp them."

She is probably a very pessimistic person at heart, or maybe she is open-minded about everything, which means she doesn't have any lasting passion for anything.

She is used to indulging in new and exciting things, in fact, she also wants to prove that she is a person who loves life.

But when all the noise and bustle are far away, what she likes to do most is to hold a cup of hot tea, sit quietly in front of the window, admire the moon and listen to the cicadas.

Yuan Yi slowly relaxed his strength, and a feeling of powerlessness came over him.

How could he meet such a heartless person? He seemed to care about nothing and always stayed far away from people like them. Yet he said some inexplicable things that made people unable to let go.

What should I do with you?

Listening to her steady breathing, he lifted her body into his arms and held her tight.

No matter what, I only recognize one thing -

Even if she gets tired of him first, he will stick with her and won't let go. She will never be able to get rid of him in her life, ever!
