Chapter 861 Scare yourself!
"Yes." Xie Ying looked at him and answered firmly.
It turns out that having a fiancé is so cool, and you can use it this way.
Xiao Chen looked at the book, then closed it. "To be sincere is to not deceive oneself. To hate bad smells and love beautiful things is to be modest. Therefore, a gentleman must be careful when he is alone."
He looked at Xie Ying, only to see her lips slightly parted, as if she was a little absent-minded, "What's wrong?"
"Brother Chen, have you memorized them all?"
"Yeah." He hadn't studied it for long, and had never thought of actually using it. "It shouldn't be wrong."
He opened the book and handed it to Xie Ying.
"I, I believe in Brother Chen. I just think Brother Chen is so amazing."
"Then repeat it again."
Xie Ying: “…”
"Brother Chen, recite it again."
Xiao Chen smiled, patiently saying, "To be sincere is to not deceive yourself. If you hate bad smells and love beautiful women, this is called being modest. Therefore, a gentleman must be careful when he is alone."
Xie Ying followed along as Xiao Chen was reciting, and immediately started reciting after Xiao Chen stopped.
"Aying is so amazing." Xiao Chen praised sincerely, but "If you recite it in such a hurry, you will most likely forget it one day in the future."
“If you truly know something by heart, you will probably still remember it decades later.”
Xie Ying smiled. Of course she knew that, but since it was an imperial examination, there was nothing wrong with her trying to memorize it.
It is more important to understand the meaning deeply, so she asked Xiao Chen to interpret it for her.
"Sincerity of intention means not deceiving oneself, just as one hates bad smells and loves beautiful things naturally. This is called self-satisfaction, so a gentleman should be cautious even when he is alone."
"Oh……"
Xiao Chen saw the girl carrying a stool and sitting next to him. Her bright eyes were blinking and she was thinking very seriously. "Brother Chen, continue to tell me."
It's not that she didn't understand. She was clearly asking him to review with her.
But there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with this.
One read carefully and analyzed it seriously, and the other listened attentively. It was not until Xie Ying yawned that Xiao Chen closed the book. "Then, should we settle down earlier?"
"Yeah." After saying that, Xie Ying suddenly felt that there was a tricky thing. She had already washed up, and she could go to bed to rest after washing her hands and face, but what about Xiao Chen?
Does he need to shower and change clothes?
Seeing the girl looking him up and down, Xiao Chen's heart skipped a beat and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Brother Chen, do you want to take a bath and change clothes?" She didn't have any men's clothes, and her bathtub -
Although she had used Xiao Chen's bathtub before, she felt a little embarrassed to let him use her bathtub.
Xiao Chen said: "In the afternoon, I took a bath in Gezhizhai."
"Okay then," Xie Ying walked to the wooden shelf, washed her hands and face first, took the basin and walked to the door, "Mingzhu, get some water for washing."
"Yes, Miss."
Mingzhu had already prepared everything. After hearing the eldest lady's order, she took the eldest lady's copper basin and changed another copper basin to her, "Miss."
Xie Ying didn't let Mingzhu in. Mingzhu knew it was one thing, but the three of them were facing each other -
It's still very embarrassing.
Xie Ying personally brought back the water that Mingzhu had prepared long ago. Xiao Chen hurried over to take it and asked worriedly, "Can you do it?"
Then he took it.
Xie Ying was a little angry. "Although I rarely do these things, I am not a delicate person. I have plenty of strength."
Xiao Chen opened his mouth. Yes, he was too nervous. After all, he knew that she had never done these things before.
"Have you forgotten that when I met those two thugs, I took care of them in two moves. Then when Brother Chen came over, I thought they were his men, puff..."
As she spoke, Xie Ying began to laugh, "Who knew it was Brother Chen who came and hurt my legs and feet."
"I was wrong that time."
"Not really. Brother Chen came because he was worried about me." Xie Ying said.
Xiao Chen looked at her. Actually, he didn't know when he started to like her. At that time, whether for his own sake or for Xie Yunchu's sake, he would save Xie Ying.
In short, he didn't know, but he vaguely remembered that he thought she was in danger at that time, so he followed her immediately without much hesitation.
"Isn't it?" Xie Ying frowned, looking a little angry.
Xiao Chen put the basin on the wooden shelf, then washed his hands and face, "No." In short, he was worried about her.
After Xiao Chen washed his face, he held the handkerchief and didn't know where to put it.
Xie Ying took it and placed it directly next to her handkerchief. "My father and mother's face washcloths are placed together."
"it is good."
The two looked at each other, and Xie Ying said, "Then I'll sleep?"
"Ah."
Xiao Chen waved to her and then went to the chaise longue. The candlelight in the room flickered. Xie Ying asked, "Brother Chen, should we turn off the lights?"
"it is good."
The room fell into darkness until my eyes adjusted to the darkness, and the bright moonlight outside the window allowed me to vaguely see some outlines in the house.
Xie Ying looked at the chaise longue, and even though there was a screen between them, she seemed to see it clearly.
"Is Brother Chen asleep?"
"No."
"What is Brother Chen thinking about?"
Thinking what?
Xiao Chen's heart was pounding. He just thought that he was too rude, but he was also afraid that Aying would have that kind of dream and would not be able to sleep well.
"I didn't think about anything." Xiao Chen said.
Xie Ying sighed, then lay down and fell asleep.
Xiao Chen could hear that she seemed a little disappointed. Was he so boring that even chatting with her was so boring?
But he really didn't know what to say.
My heart started to feel confused.
After a long time, the sound of Xie Ying's even breathing could be heard. Xiao Chenjing waited for a long time, and got up only when he didn't hear her talking in her sleep.
After approaching the bed, Xiao Chen brought a round stool and sat in front of her bed. In the moonlight, he could just make out that fair face, as pretty as a silver plate, with a pouting little mouth, which was very cute.
He just stayed with her like that.
About a quarter of an hour later, he clearly felt that Aying muttered something. Without delaying for a moment, he took out the talisman paper under her pillow, and then, as before, he used Taoist magic to infect the talisman paper, allowing Aying to gradually calm down.
Sure enough, as long as she wasn't suppressed by Taoist magic, she would fall into a dream.
Xiao Chen looked at Xie Ying, and after his hand touched her cheek, he realized belatedly that he had been so rude.
He felt a sudden sharp pain in his heart. He covered it with one hand and put the talisman back under her pillow with the other hand.
This stinging pain is not serious, but -
Xiao Chen didn't dare to think about it, could this be the backlash mentioned in the forbidden technique?
But Uncle Rong's backlash symptoms were fear of heat and cold, but he - he didn't have any symptoms of fear of cold, he must have scared himself!
The next day, before dawn, Xiao Chen saw Xie Ying sleeping soundly, so he left on his own.
In the dark alley, Qing Chang'an witnessed Xiao Chen coming out of the backyard of the Duke's Mansion. His face was pale. He did not leave from anywhere else. He slept in Aying's room all night!
