Chapter 454: Your Heart

Originally intended to wait until the night to quietly go to the palace, but took Ji Wuxing’s commission, Xue Mu in the Hundred Flowers Garden meal, after the meal or first went to find Xiahou Di.

At this time, the situation is gradually calming down, Xiahou Di also do not need to run around day and night on official business, this time is in their own home rest.

Seeing Xue Mu’s visit, the old servant greeted him warmly into the house and said with a smile, “Is the old slave going to inform the Chief Constable to come out, or is Chief Xue going to find the Chief Constable himself?”

Xue Mu smiled and said, “Where is she?”

“Watching the snow in the backyard.”

Xue Mu lifted his steps and went to the backyard, in fact, the climate has slightly turned warmer in the past few days, and there will only be a little bit of sporadic snowflakes in this evening. The original snow also did not melt, the courtyard has a little white, snow plum intertwined, accompanied by a little snowflake drifting, a glance to see where is the plum, where is the snow.

Xue Mu went around the long corridor and saw the gazebo from that day. He froze for a moment, his footsteps stopped lightly, and he stood at the edge of the corridor pillar to look at the silhouette by the pavilion. The silhouette was turning her back to him, quietly reading the inscription on the pavilion pillar. Long hair softly hanging waist, swaying with the wind, a light-colored dress, straight down to the ankles, set off the body tall and slender. A girdle lightly tied, outlining the waist to close the back quite, elegant and beautiful.

From the back, Xue Mu almost did not dare to recognize this is Xiahou Di. The only thing that emphasizes that this is really her is her tall figure and super long legs judged from the position of that girdle.

It was the homey, leisurely attire of bathing and dressing after taking off her official clothes.

For the first time in his life, Xue Mu saw this kind of Xiahou Di, and he couldn’t even bear to break this beauty’s stillness for a moment.

As if she heard footsteps coming and stopping, Xiahou Di didn’t turn her head, but just whispered, “Is there something wrong with Uncle Wang?”

Xue Mu did not answer.

As if Xiahou Di also felt something was wrong, she turned her head to look.

Along with the turn of the head, long hair swirling light dance, with snow around the body in front, and a few strands of hair flicked over the clean and bright face, slightly confused eyes in the sight of the person who came a moment suddenly became bright, the corner of the lips seem to have hooked up a surprise smile, as if the entire pure and secluded courtyard suddenly brightened up.

Xue Mu only hated that he didn’t have a camera, and couldn’t make this momentary glance back at the absolute beauty of the earth condense into permanence.

“Hey.” Xiahou Di laughed, “What are you doing here again? Don’t you think you’ve been thrown out of the house enough times?”

The quiet beauty once again overlapped with the usual daily generous and heroic, Xue Mu’s eyes were in a trance, and he forgot to answer for a moment.

“What for?” Xiahou Di wondered, “That dumbfounded look.”

Xue Mu finally returned to his senses and whispered, “It’s too beautiful.”

Xiahou Di was stunned, biting her lip and not speaking. Lowering his head to look at his own attire …… usually do not feel at home, this time remember, as if Xue Mu really never saw his own image in addition to the public clothes …… non-saying that there is, it was when he and he tore all the rags after asking for currying night clothes. At that time, everyone’s image was wretched, and he hadn’t paid attention to the beauty and ugliness, right?

Of course it was different from this time.

She took two deep breaths, pretended to be calm and turned back to look at the flowers: ”What’s wrong with beauty? This seat is the choice of Jiangshan’s absolute color spectrum, do you think it’s a walk in the dark?”

Seemingly looking at the flowers, in fact, his eyes were floating vainly, he did not know what he was looking at.

“It was originally to walk the black curtain.” Xue Mu slowly walked behind her and whispered, “You don’t really like being commented on for your beauty, you just want everyone to see what you’ve done. If it wasn’t for Qingqiu and I racking you into a corner, you wouldn’t have stuffed yourself at all.”

Xiahou Di gritted her teeth, “You know you’re bullying me too?”

“I only hate that people can only see that public service side and never see that Xiahou Di is supremely beautiful in a thousand ways.”

Xiahou Di faintly said, “I thought you would think that it’s only good if you’ve seen it.”

Xue Mu was dumbfounded, “How shady is the person who thinks this way, possessive and twisted, right?”

Xiahou Di finally couldn’t help herself, “Why do you keep standing behind me?”

“Because you don’t turn around.”

“Why should I turn ……,” Xiahou Di’s words were chopped off in his own throat before his voice fell.

Two arms wrapped around from behind, embracing on her waist, could feel the back pressing against his chest, could even feel the frequency of his heartbeat.

“Let go.” She said coldly, “Don’t make me cut you.”

“Forget about being hacked to death by you.” Xue Mu hugged a little tighter and murmured, “Can t hold such a beauty, I simply wear …… a life in vain.”

Xiahou Di sneered, “You are holding too much beauty.”

Xue Mu was silent.

Surprisingly Xiahou Di also did not move and did not say anything more about cutting him. The two just quietly embraced back and forth without saying a word.

I don’t know how long it took before Xiahou Di softly said, “Xue Mu, I know you’re also good at this point, taking advantage of some of the hands and feet I’m too lazy to say anything about you, but we’re just friends.”

Xue Mu said, “As a friend, I came here today to remind you of one thing.”

“You say.”

“Whether it’s King Qi, or King Tang, you don’t presuppose a level of trust. Even if someone is ninety-nine percent trustworthy in your mind, there’s still one percent of suspicion there.”

Xiahou Di was silent for a long time and sighed, “I know.”

“You know?”

“Of course I know. But Xue Mu, if none of the older siblings that you grew up with is someone you can trust, how horrible is that, do you know? I’d rather I trust the wrong one, but I’m going to go ahead and trust it for once.” Xiahou Di paused, as if deliberately reminding herself, and continued, “Could it be that trusting a Demon Sect Demon like you is better than trusting your own brother?”

Xue Mu choked for a moment not knowing how to reply and sighed helplessly, “That’s right. It’s a pity that you really shouldn’t have been born in an emperor’s family.”

Xiahou Di didn’t answer, instead he said, “The few ideas you mentioned to Li Yingqing today, Li Yingqing was full of praise, of which the matter of paving the road or setting up a railroad track is already being discussed in the Political Affairs Hall.”

“That’s good.”

“This world transportation, which is beneficial to the people, should by no means be an issue that a person from the Devil’s Sect would think about. And not only did you consider it, you didn’t use it to exchange favors, but you really wanted to implement it that way. Even considered more, to help the Divine Mechanism Sect think about the power …… Don’t you know, the Divine Mechanism Sect is strong is the court strong, once the development to a certain extent, the war dolls in large quantities, the Star and Moon Sect are not enough war dolls to push flat.”

“Steam power once the development, the court can become how strong I do not know, in short, want to level the Star Moon Sect do not know the monkey years and months. Seeing that this world can benefit from steam power, why should I hide it?”

Xiahou Di looked out of her mind at the inscription in front of her, and only after a long time did she whisper, “Xue Mu, can you tell me plainly what kind of person you really are?”

“I am just a …… traveler who treks through the desert just like you. It’s only because I once saw a certain oasis and kindly reminded the bystanders, hey, there’s water towards there. That’s all.”

“Reminding others of the path to the oasis, so where do you want to go yourself?”

“Your heart.”

Xiahou Di’s heartbeat suddenly accelerated, the body that had been pretending to be relaxed in turn instantly tensed its defensive strength.

Obviously knowing that this kind of words are just the tactics of the old hands of the flower bushes, but the power is really amazing, just like a martial artist whose level difference is too big, seeing a sword stabbing, the trajectory is clear, but how to dodge can’t be avoided.

Even when Xue Mu was trying to pull her over, she was confused and didn’t react. When she was suddenly startled, she had already realized that Xue Mu had come down and kissed her on the lips.

Xiahou Di’s eyes widened, her body tensed even more, but her head was empty.

They had kissed …… once when they were pressed by the rocks and then their lips met, but there was no charm only pain. When they were pitched by Qin Wuye, it was a time when the mind and spirit were lost, and the kiss in such a sober state could not be compared.

Such a kiss could only make one’s heart beat sharply, like being electrocuted, making one’s body go all over the place. Her hands against Xue Mu’s chest, wanting to push away, but seems to have no strength, as if there is an idea circling in her head: it’s not like she hasn’t kissed before, there’s nothing to it…….

Xue Mu wanted to try to buckle down, Xiahou Di woke up with a jolt, pushed him far away with force, breathed in sharply, and gritted her teeth, “This time it’s a reward for your contribution to the world, don’t try to get an inch. Get lost quickly!”
