Chapter 193: Almost as tall as... a woman's waist
"Why do I feel that what you said doesn't sound like you are trying to comfort us?" Rong Qingzhu has always been a gentleman and would never easily think wrongly of others.
But for Chu Xi, he always felt that there was something else behind what the other person said.
Um...
Bad, not necessarily bad, it's just that I'm a little uncomfortable watching them, so I'm making fun of them.
"You're not wrong." Chu Xi did not hide his thoughts at all. He sat down calmly and demonstrated to the two of them.
"It's normal for you to be uncomfortable sleeping in the wilderness, but the situation is special right now, so I have to inconvenience Brother Qingzhu."
"...Not really, it's not that unfair." Rong Qingzhu met the boy's eyes that were clearly black and white, as beautiful as the rippling surface of a lake, and he lowered his voice unconsciously.
Zhou Yichen didn't notice Rong Qingzhu's unnaturalness at this time, his eyes were all attracted by the simple floor mat...
He had always known that the conditions in the army were difficult and not as prosperous as those in Beijing, and he had prepared himself mentally on the way here.
He thought that no matter how hard it was, it couldn't be worse than the conditions during the disaster relief in Yunzhou. It wasn't until he really got there that he realized...there are mountains beyond mountains and heavens beyond heavens.
It turned out that the situation in Yunzhou at that time was far from bad.
Chu Xi crossed her legs, and there seemed to be a faint smile in her beautiful fox eyes. "No one knows what will happen in the future. It will be good for you to get used to these things now!"
These words were not only spoken to Rong Qingzhu, but also to Zhou Yichen.
A person's life cannot always be smooth sailing. Ups and downs are normal. Zhou Yichen's future path will only be more difficult. If he gets used to it early, he won't be flustered the next time he faces it.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yichen strode forward and sat down like Chu Xi. Although his body was obviously a little stiff, he at least took the first step.
Rong Qingzhu was stunned, his heart moved slightly. He couldn't tell whether he was touched by Chu Xi's words or was shaken by Chu Xi's smiling eyes.
"The Great Zhou is about to be in turmoil, even Brother Qingzhu must make preparations early." Chu Xi remembered that in the later plot, His Majesty did not trust other people, so he deliberately sent Rong Qingzhu, who had no martial arts skills, to be the military supervisor!
On the one hand, it was to restrain himself, and on the other hand, it was because the Rong family never took sides. As long as Rong Qingzhu was in the army, if Chu Xi really had the slightest thought of rebellion, Rong Qingzhu would report it immediately if he found out.
Rong Qingzhu saw that Zhou Yichen had already sat down, and Qi Bai repeatedly "persuaded" him that no matter how noble he was, his status could not be as precious as that of a prince, so he forced himself to lie down despite his discomfort.
Seeing that both of them did as they were told, Chu Xi naturally picked up a small stone and threw it at the candle. His movements were so accurate and fast that in an instant, the tent was plunged into darkness.
If there weren't still a fire burning outside, it would be pitch dark in here.
The firelight outside faintly passed through the tent, shining in strands.
Rong Qingzhu slept right opposite Chu Xi, but there was room for one person between them to make it easier for them to get up at night.
As for Zhou Yichen, the bed was lying horizontally above the two of them, so that all three of them could sleep without taking up too much space.
Even though the ground was paved with something, Rong Qingzhu still felt it was uneven, with some places bumpy and his waist was slightly hurt. He guessed that it must be the stones underneath...
I didn't take it out, so it was particularly uncomfortable to lie flat like this.
In order not to disturb others, Rong Qingzhu did not take out the pebbles inside. Instead, he turned sideways and lay facing Chu Xi, avoiding the pebbles.
Unexpectedly, I caught a glimpse of... In the darkness where I could vaguely see a glimmer of light, the boy opposite me seemed to be unbuttoning his shirt and taking it off...
Chu Xi moved slowly. Her hair had already been untied and the headband was casually wrapped around her right wrist. She wrapped it a few times to make sure it wouldn't fall off. Then her long black hair fell down and draped behind her back.
As for the top, it was stained with a little moisture. Although it has dried now, it still makes her feel uncomfortable. If Zhou Yichen and the others had not come suddenly, she would have to change her clothes that night.
These past few days, she could no longer take a bath as usual. It was inconvenient both because of the conditions here and because of the large number of people.
Besides, Rong Qingzhu and Zhou Yichen both lived with her, and due to the situation, she could only extinguish the candle first and then take off her clothes.
Rong Qingzhu had never thought that when she turned over inadvertently, she would happen to see Chu Jiang taking off his clothes. Her eyelashes trembled violently and she closed her eyes without thinking.
His panicked heart caused his ears and cheeks to suddenly start burning without warning; they were extremely hot, as if they had been steamed.
After closing his eyes, in the darkness, the scene he had just glanced at was still echoing uncontrollably in his mind.
There was obviously nothing wrong with Chu Jiang's undressing action and the waist-length black hair, but he just couldn't forget it, and inexplicably... felt that his glance seemed to have offended Chu Jiang.
Maybe it was because the girl's skin was too fair, her jade-like face profile slightly lifted up as she took off her clothes...
Revealing the same white and smooth neck.
It looks thin and easy to break.
When he fought with Chu Jiang, the feeling he gave was completely different.
There is not the arrogance and recklessness of young people, nor the atmosphere of riding horses and leaning on a sloping bridge with red sleeves waving all over the building. There is only an indescribable fragility and slenderness.
If Qi Bai knew about his thoughts, he would definitely find him funny. How could such a flamboyant boy with great martial arts skills be associated with the word "fragile"?
But even though he refuted his own absurdity and suppressed those weird thoughts, his mind still couldn't help but continue...
When he took off his white outer garment, the waist revealed by his inner garment seemed extremely slender, almost as thin as a woman's waist.
...This feeling was so absurd and inexplicable that Rong Qingzhu couldn't help but wonder if he had caught a cold or had a fever. If not, how could he have such an absurd thought?
He took a deep breath, exhaled, and slowly adjusted his inexplicably accelerated heartbeat, secretly reminding himself not to let his imagination run wild!
Chu Xi didn't know that what Rong Qingzhu beside her was thinking about was related to her. When she glanced over, Rong Qingzhu had already closed his eyes, even though his eyelashes trembled from time to time.
She simply attributed the other party's abnormality to the difficulty of going from luxury to frugality and the temporary unfamiliarity, and did not think of other possibilities.
This night was unusually long for Rong Qingzhu. He finally got rid of the messy thoughts in his mind and was about to fall asleep when there was a sudden noise outside!
In a place with tens of thousands of people, every word is noisy enough, not to mention that from time to time someone will stand up, make noise, and lose their temper...
Even Rong Qingzhu, who was not very good at martial arts, was always woken up.
