Chapter 821 He Accepted the Handkerchief
Xie Ying pulled his hand back and nodded, "Oh."
Xiao Chen smiled slightly, then stood up and walked into the inner room. After a while, he came out with a pack of incense in his hand. "This is the incense I made myself. It can repel mosquitoes."
As for the cicadas' chirping——
He seemed to no longer be able to hear the cicadas chirping. He thought, Jian Wu has been catching cicadas for quite some time and hasn't come back yet. Could it be that he has caught all the cicadas in the National Women's Prison?
Xie Ying nodded, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
She stood up, took the incense, and bowed slightly, "Your Highness still has many official duties to attend to, so I will take my leave first."
"Ah."
Xiao Chen smiled and nodded slightly.
Xie Ying held the incense in his hand, his eyes swept across the pillows and sachets on the cabinet on the kang, and he felt quite sad.
He was very special to her.
But he is also very special to Xie Shanxiang.
After Xie Ying left.
Xiao Chen took a look at the plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum pillow and the sachet, picked them up and threw them into the trash can, leaving Jian Wu to take them and throw them away later.
And the handkerchief on the stool.
Xiao Chen picked it up, looked at the adorable mandarin ducks, and the particularly beautiful character "楹".
With a smile on his face, he knew in his heart that he had accepted the handkerchief and should take this relationship seriously. He shouldn't always let the girl take the initiative!
The young man walked in with the handkerchief and put it into the wooden box in the drawer.
Placing the handkerchief together with her portrait, he couldn't help but think of Uncle Rong.
Uncle Rong was really amazing. He said that they were destined to be together, and he really fell in love with Xie Ying.
After the autumn examination, regardless of whether Aying passed the high school entrance examination or not, he would try to interact with her and make her feel happy as much as possible.
After Xie Ying left Gezhizhai, he had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Originally, she thought that Xiao Chen accepted the handkerchief as an acknowledgement of the fate between them.
However, seeing that he put the pillow and sachet in the most conspicuous place, it can be seen that he used the things Xie Shanxiang gave him as a pillow when taking a nap.
That feeling, that feeling made her heart ache and feel uncomfortable. He was indeed equally good to everyone.
"Aying——"
Qing Chang'an walked out and saw Xie Ying, who looked a little depressed. He felt heartbroken, so he still stuck to her.
When Xie Ying saw Qing Chang'an, he opened his mouth and wanted to say a lot, but didn't know what to say.
She also turned a blind eye to Qing Changan's sincerity.
Now, Xiao Chen turned a blind eye to her sincerity, so why is she so desperate?
Xie Ying forced a smile and said, "Brother Qing, what's wrong?"
"Where are you going?" Qing Chang'an asked.
Xie Ying opened her mouth and saw that she was about to leave the International Women's Prison.
"Oh, I-I haven't asked for leave yet."
"No need, I agree." Qing Chang'an smiled gently.
Xie Ying nodded, "Thank you, Brother Qing, but Xie Zheng didn't come today, so I still——"
"Where are you going? I'll take you there."
As he said this, Ada came out from nowhere and waited outside, "Master, I will go get the carriage right away."
Xie Ying: “…”
Qing Chang'an raised his head towards her. Xie Ying turned around and saw Mingzhu taking small steps and chasing after him anxiously.
"Miss," Mingzhu panted. Why didn't Miss go back to the dormitory? It took her so long to find her. "Where are you going?"
Qing Changan said, "Let's go. We have been busy with schoolwork lately. Let's go out and get some fresh air."
The schoolwork is not too heavy.
She even felt ashamed of the training she received from the National Women's Prison, and was only thinking about that cold young man!
A little depressing.
Mingzhu looked at her own young lady with her big eyes. Do you want to go out with Lord Qing?
Xie Ying said, "Then I'd like to trouble Brother Qing to take me back home."
She wanted to go back home. She was not in a good mood today. If Xie Jiaojiao saw it, she would definitely be worried. She couldn't let Jiaojiao down.
"No trouble."
Before leaving, Qing Changan said to the school gatekeeper, "Send someone to inform Xie Jiaojiao in the dormitory later that her sister is coming back to the mansion. I will accompany her, so you don't have to worry."
"Yes, sir." The doorman opened his mouth, a little surprised.
In the past, he saw Qing Chang'an often coming to pick up his young fiancée, but later, the two broke off the engagement.
Later, Lord Qing followed him to the Imperial Women's Prison.
And now, the two of them are reconciled? Oh, what's going on?
Qing Chang'an's thoughtfulness moved Xie Ying a little. This feeling had nothing to do with love, but Qing Chang'an's sincerity towards her reminded her of her sincerity towards Xiao Chen.
This kind of unrequited sincerity is indeed a bit painful for the giver.
Ada led the carriage over.
"Master, Miss Xie, please get in the carriage." Ada shouted.
"Let's go."
Qing Chang'an was as gentle as ever and called her with a smile.
Xie Ying nodded and got into the car with Mingzhu. Adada pulled Mingzhu's skirt and said, "Sit here. I have something to say to you."
Mingzhu kicked him, "Don't touch me."
As they were about to get into the carriage, Qing Changan said, "I do have something to say to your eldest daughter. Don't worry, I'm not that evil person."
Mingzhu: “…”
Xie Ying: “…”
Qing Changan smiled slightly, "I noticed that you were in a bad mood today." He looked fine when he went to Gezhizhai, but now he looks like he is sick.
Xie Ying glanced at Mingzhu and nodded.
Mingzhu had no choice but to stand there and wait for Qing Chang'an, the eldest lady, to get into the carriage before she closed the door.
Ada said: "Don't worry, the master knows his limits."
Mingzhu snorted coldly, hugged her chest and didn't look at Ada. The engagement had already been cancelled. No matter how sensible she was, there were still some——
Anyway, it's definitely not very friendly to the young lady.
In the carriage.
Qing Changan raised his voice and asked, "When was the tea in the teapot?"
"Don't worry, master. It has only been brewing for less than an hour." Ada's voice came.
Qing Chang'an then rinsed the teacup with tea and poured a cup of tea for Xie Ying.
Xie Ying smelled the aroma of the scented tea and suddenly smiled.
Qing Chang'an was stunned for a moment, then he understood why she was laughing, she had seen through him.
"Ever since I tried scented tea, I felt that it was good for clearing away heat and reducing internal heat, so I have been drinking scented tea." Qing Chang'an explained.
Xie Ying raised her eyes and looked at him, "I don't know what to say to you now."
"Just say whatever you want to say," he said encouragingly.
"Anyway, I understand you now." After a pause, Xie Ying continued, "I want to apologize to you."
She should apologize for rejecting his kiss and being unable to respond to his affection.
"It's ok."
"What did you say to His Royal Highness Prince Chen today?" Qing Chang'an guessed that her bad mood might be related to Xiao Chen.
Xie Ying said: "Well, I didn't say anything, but I realized that maybe he really is devoted to Buddhism and doesn't have worldly feelings for men and women."
"That's true - we are also wanderers in this world."
Xie Ying smiled.
Qing Changan looked at her and said, "Now you should know how much I feel sorry for you."
