Chapter 248 I don’t have that much perseverance
Although Yu Wenyuan said at the beginning that he would “keep the story short”, after they finished saying what needed to be said and discussing what needed to be discussed, Yu Wenye and Shang Ruyi left the study. By the time, it was already past the third watch.
It was dark outside.
Shang Ruyi's eyes couldn't adapt and she almost fell down, but a warm big hand had already reached out and supported her steadily.
Looking up again, I finally saw the gentle outline of Yu Wenye's face through the faint moonlight. It seemed that his eyes were also gentle, so when he spoke, his voice was also gentle: "Are you tired? ?”
Shang Ruyi shook his head.
Yu Wenye did not let go of her, holding her wrist and walking back in the night.
There was silence all around, and there was only the sound of their footsteps on the corridor, but they were not urgent. The even footsteps made the two people's tense emotions slightly relax, and made the originally cold The cold wind adds a bit of gentleness.
Shang Ruyi woke up a little when the cold wind blew outside.
Immediately asked the question that I had been holding back for a while: "Did you tell dad?"
Yu Wenye was still walking in front without looking back: "What did you say?"
"Say the words I once asked you?"
"Why do you feel so?"
< br>"If you didn't tell dad, it's enough for dad to tell you these things tonight. , there is no need to call me over.”
It’s okay to think about it in your own mind when you have dissatisfaction with the court, but once two people say it to each other, and even a few people start to discuss it, it’s a big deal. , once any news is leaked, everyone may be accused and the whole family will be executed!
Yu Wenyuan was an extremely cautious person. Although he was very kind to her as his daughter-in-law, Shang Ruyi felt that he would not trust her easily.
Without certain testing and final determination, he would not have suddenly revealed his thoughts and arrangements in front of her. The only possibility is that someone has already tested it for him and made some determinations.
As for Shang Ruyi's thoughts, after he woke up from a serious illness, he didn't even tell anyone close to him like his uncle and aunt.
The only time it was revealed was on the second day of their wedding, when Yu Wenye took her to a restaurant in Taiyuan City to visit Juli. She asked Yu Wenye what he thought of the court, and what was in those words The profound meaning is understood by anyone who is not a fool.
At that time, what she said aroused Yu Wenye’s dissatisfaction, and even directly warned her not to mention it again in the future. At that time, she thought he was loyal to the court. Later, she learned about his relationship with Xin Regarding the relationship with Princess Yue, he also believed that this kind of loyalty was mixed with some personal feelings, making it even less likely for him to have any unreasonable opinions about the imperial court.
But today, he didn't object at all to what Yu Wenyuan said.
On the contrary——
Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi's heartbeat became heavier. He couldn't help but raise his head and look at the man holding his hand. His broad shoulders were swaying in the night. It looked like a mountain, and at the same time, such a mountain seemed to block his emotions and thoughts.
She still couldn't see through him.
As if he felt her gaze, Yu Wenye turned his face slightly to look at her, and then said: "I said it."
"Why?"
"Why, do you think I shouldn't tell my father what you said?"
"...No, no."
Shang Ruyi thought about it Thinking about it, he said softly: "I am your wife and a member of the Yuwen family. I really shouldn't hide my thoughts from you." Where is my daughter-in-law?”
He said this very calmly, without any emotion at all, but Shang Ruyi felt inexplicably that he seemed unhappy.
And, just as he said this, he let go of her hand.
But at this time, they just walked to the door. Yu Wenye reached out and pushed the door open, and then walked in. The room was still lit with candlesticks. Naturally, there was no need to hold her hand when they were in a bright place. Hands on.
Shang Ruyi followed him into the house and closed the door himself.
In my heart, I felt the same feeling as if I had been held by a warm hand just now, and now I was let go, feeling a little cold.
She watched Yu Wenye enter the room, take out a map from the cabinet against the wall and lay it on the low table in the center of the room. He also took the candlestick and put it aside, and then started to read quietly.
The flickering candlelight could clearly illuminate the bloodshot eyes.
Does he want to look at the map again?
After staying in Dali Temple for so long, I finally came back. Shouldn’t I have a good rest?
Shang Ruyi walked over and said softly: "Aren't you going to sleep?"
"..."
Yu Wenye didn't answer her immediately. He was quiet for a long time. Shang Ruyi even suspected that the voice he just spoke was too soft. He didn't hear it at all. He was about to repeat it again. I heard him whisper: "I'll watch it for a while before going to sleep."
“…Oh.”
Thinking about it, those things Yu Wenyuan just explained in the study are indeed too important. Not only are lives at stake, but also the entire Yuwen family, and even the whole family. The future of the family that is related to them must be cautious.
But Shang Ruyi looked at him looking at the map and didn't move for a long time.
His eyes were also a little dazed.
I don’t know where he is looking.
In fact, after these days, she didn't have much time to sleep peacefully. She was also very tired at this time, but if Yu Wenye didn't sleep like this, she couldn't fall asleep, so she could only stay silent He walked to the bed and sat down, and subconsciously touched the wrist he just grabbed with one hand. His body temperature and breath seemed to still be there, but he didn't expect that he would let go so quickly.
Looking at his handsome profile, I don’t know why, but his brows were frowning sharply.
Shang Ruyi was a little drowsy and didn't want to fall asleep. He could only droop his eyelids and murmured: "Why are you unhappy?"
This voice was as thin as the whisper of a mosquito.
But his sharp response immediately sounded in the room: "Who is unhappy!?"
This answer shocked Shang Ruyi to wake up suddenly, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Yu Wenye had turned his head to look at him, and under the candlelight, his face was clearly filled with anger.
What's wrong?
Why did it take him a long time to answer the question before, but he answered this question so quickly?
It seemed as if he had been waiting for it for a long time. Shang Ruyi was a little at a loss. Looking at the way Yu Wenye was glaring at her, she felt something in her heart. However, she was still a little confused due to excessive fatigue. She could only get up and walk over slowly. After thinking about it, she sat down again. When he arrived opposite Yu Wenye, he looked at him seriously.
After a while, he asked: "Are you really angry?"
Yu Wenye narrowed his eyes slightly.
That way, it seemed that if she said anything that made him angry, he would be rude to her.
But Shang Ruyi couldn't smell the dangerous aura emanating from him at this moment. He once again determined that he was really angry. He thought about it and said, "Why?"
Just now, It's obviously still good.
Yu Wenye gritted his teeth.
He suddenly stretched out a big hand towards her.
Until this moment, Shang Ruyi had a feeling of danger coming. She closed her eyes subconsciously, but after a while, there seemed to be no movement on her body, and then she slowly opened her eyes again.
When she opened her eyes, she was shocked.
Because, her hand was grabbed by Yu Wenye.
No, to be precise, it was the tip of her little finger, which was pinched by Yu Wenye with two fingers.
Shang Ruyi immediately became nervous.
At this time, Yu Wenye's face no longer had the anger just now, and his eyes even showed a trace of tenderness. He said in a deep voice: "Still no consciousness at all?"
< br>
Shang Ruyi was shocked and just shook his head: "It has been many years and I can't recover."
Yu Wenye looked at her and asked: "Why was your little finger broken? Why was it not broken?" Perception?”
Shang Ruyi was stunned for a moment. , subconsciously wanted to answer, but before he could speak, Yu Wenye continued: "Why...do you have so much past?"
"..."
"You still have so much in your past?" How many things are there that others don’t know?”
"..."
Seeing that he was not asking questions, but seemed to be very eager to know all this, Shang Ruyi suddenly understood something - this was not what he wanted to ask.
He just wanted to ask through her fingers, asking about the things she hid from him, asking about all the secrets about her... maybe including why she regretted her marriage and why she remarried him.
Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi's heart skipped a beat.
At the beginning, on the wedding night, when he knew that the tip of her little finger had no feeling, Shang Ruyi told him the reason, but did not tell the truth behind it. He just told him-it was just the past, not a secret. I mean, if he asked, she would tell him.
But at that time, he was completely uninterested and didn't even ask more questions.
Now, he is asking, and asking so many questions.
Shang Ruyi suddenly felt happy in his heart. She looked at him through the flickering candlelight on the table and said softly: "You want to know? But it's not yet time."
"When?"
"...How many days are left until January."
After saying this, her own face turned red first.
Yu Wenye was stunned for a moment and understood immediately. His face was not red, but his body was red from heat. This sentence was like a spark, which immediately ignited the anger he had deliberately suppressed before. The heat on his body made his breath feel hot for a moment.
Looking at the red cheeks in front of him, he couldn't help but reach out his hand.
However, reason still pulled him the moment before he touched her. He hesitated for a moment, and then put down his hand.
He suddenly said: "Why don't you go to bed quickly?"
Shang Ruyi didn't know why he suddenly urged her to go to bed again, but at this time, it was indeed time to rest. She hurriedly lowered her head and stood up, and Yu Wenye also stood up.
But he turned around and walked towards his bed.
Shang Ruyi said subconsciously: "Hey——?"
Do they still want to sleep in separate beds now?
Yu Wenye’s steps immediately stopped.
His broad shoulders and back felt slightly stiff. After a while, he turned around and looked down at her. There was a faint flame burning in his usually cold eyes, and he whispered: "I don't have that much perseverance." . ”
“…”
“Now, I don’t have that good physical strength either…”
“…”
“Be good, Go back to sleep.”
"...!"
Shang Ruyi suddenly understood what he meant. The blush had not faded yet, and now even the tips of her ears were red. She lowered her head and only responded, hurriedly Turn around and lie down on your bed.
After thinking about it, he pulled up the quilt and covered his face.
Looking at her shy look, a smile appeared on Yu Wenye's face. Then, he clenched his fists again, suppressed the throbbing in his heart, and slowly turned around and walked back to his bed. , fell asleep.
The night fell into silence.
