Chapter 75 Taotao
Chapter 75 Taotao
Back at Yingyuan, the maids naturally made a fuss again. Xia Taoyuan said helplessly: "This minor injury is fine. It just hurts a little when I walk now, but it will be fine tomorrow."
Yu'er and Cui'er cleaned her wound, changed her into clean clothes, and helped her to the bed.
After a while, Wei Qing came again. The little girl felt very guilty and was in a bad mood, saying that if it weren't for her, her sister wouldn't have been injured.
After Xia Taoyuan comforted her for a while, Wei Qing finally became happy and started chattering as usual again.
Wei Qing didn't leave until it was dark.
"This second young lady has been coming here quite often recently. Didn't young lady always tease her in the past?" Yu'er said.
Xia Taoyuan smiled and said, "The past is the past, and the present is the present. I found that this girl has no bad intentions, so I don't bother to tease her anymore. Besides, we are a family after all."
"I told you, our young lady is the kindest." Dai'er said from the side.
"You are the only little girl who can speak." Cui'er tapped Dai'er's forehead and said with a smile.
The master and servants laughed and played for a while, and then the little girls went back to rest.
Xia Taoyuan stared at the big, round moon outside the window in a trance. Although she told Chu Xingluo to go about his business and come back to see her after he was done, she was actually still hoping that Chu Xingluo would suddenly show up. She got out of bed and limped to the side of the cabinet, opened the drawer, took out the handkerchief she had embroidered more delicately, and returned to bed, so that if Chu Xingluo came, she would not forget to give it to him.
"What are you looking at?" Hearing this, Xia Taoyuan looked up and saw the person she had been thinking about standing in front of the window, dressed in white, like a fallen immortal. She was surprised and happy, and forgot that her knee was injured. She stood up and was about to rush over, but she felt pain and couldn't stand steadily. At the moment she fell, Chu Xingluo flashed in front of her and supported her.
Even so, because her thighs were bent too much, her knees hurt and she grimaced. Seeing this, Chu Xingluo quickly picked her up and put her on the bed, asking, "What's wrong?"
Xia Taoyuan was afraid that he would worry, so she lied and said, "I just twisted my leg, it's okay."
But Chu Xingluo saw the wound on her hand, grabbed her hand and asked what happened.
Seeing this, Xia Taoyuan had no choice but to tell him that he had gone to worship Buddha and rolled down the mountain. Chu Xingluo said distressedly: "If you want to go somewhere in the future, tell me in advance and I will go with you. If I am not free, you can let Qingyun and the others go with you."
"Okay, I get it." Xia Taoyuan shook Chu Xingluo's arm.
Chu Xingluo looked at her leg again and saw that it was still bleeding. He knew that she had touched it when she saw him standing up just now, and he couldn't help but blame himself. He gently stroked the wound and asked softly, "Does it hurt?"
Xia Taoyuan smiled and said, "It doesn't hurt when I see you." Then she stretched out her arms to hug him. Chu Xingluo was afraid of touching her legs again, so he sat next to her on the bed.
Xia Taoyuan asked him to lower his head, then hugged him and kissed him fiercely on the face. Chu Xingluo couldn't help but smile slightly and whispered, "Okay, the wound will hurt again in a while."
"I miss you!" Xia Taoyuan pouted.
"I know, so I came." Chu Xingluo said.
"Then do you miss me?"
"think."
Xia Taoyuan nestled in Chu Xingluo's arms contentedly and said, "Lolo."
Chu Xingluo agreed, Xia Taoyuan called again, and Chu Xingluo agreed again.
Xia Taoyuan took out a handkerchief and waved it in front of Chu Xingluo. Chu Xingluo took it, looked at it, and said, "Did you embroider it?"
"Of course, is the embroidery good?" Xia Taoyuan said proudly.
"Not bad." Chu Xingluo smiled, "Taotao?"
Xia Taoyuan blinked and said, "I like to eat peaches, so I embroidered peaches. Do you like it?"
"I like it. I like everything you embroider." Chu Xingluo said gently with a smile on his face.
"Then from now on, when it's just the two of us, you can call me Taotao, okay?" Xia Taoyuan looked into Chu Xingluo's eyes eagerly.
"Okay, Taotao." Chu Xingluo guessed that her original name should have the character "Tao".
"Lolo." Xia Taoyuan was so happy. She could finally openly use her own name to date Chu Xingluo instead of using Wei Zhiying's name.
The two of them cuddled together for a while, and Xia Taoyuan felt sleepy and her eyelids were drooping. Chu Xingluo asked her to lie down and sleep, and he would leave after she fell asleep.
Xia Taoyuan lay down obediently and fell asleep soon after.
Chu Xingluo sat for a while, picked up the handkerchief and looked at it again, feeling very happy. This was the first token she gave him, embroidered by her own hands. He leaned over to Xia Taoyuan's lips and kissed her, "Taotao, my Taotao."
Putting the handkerchief in his arms, Chu Xingluo kissed Xia Taoyuan again before leaving reluctantly.
Chu Xingluo left for a long time before Qi Nanfeng came out of the corner. He felt bitter in his heart. Hearing his beloved woman and her fiancé being affectionate with each other, he felt really uncomfortable. But what could he do? He had no right to stop them.
He laughed at himself for being a slut. Many women came to him and begged him to be with him, but he turned a deaf ear to them. However, this stubborn and reckless woman moved him and made him think about her day and night. Even though he said he would never appear in front of her again, he still couldn't help wanting to see her, even if he could only see her when she was asleep.
Qi Nanfeng jumped up onto the cherry tree, then gently opened the window and went into the house. Looking at Xia Taoyuan sleeping soundly, he moved a chair and sat in front of the bed, just looking at her quietly.
Seeing sweat on her forehead, he pulled the quilt down for her. Seeing the scratches on her hands, he muttered: You really make me worried.
Xia Taoyuan turned over and faced the inside of the bed. Qi Nanfeng laughed angrily: You have no conscience. You don't even want me to see you when you fall asleep.
After sitting for a while, Qi Nanfeng stood up to leave for fear that Xia Taoyuan would suddenly wake up. Suddenly, he saw a corner of Xia Taoyuan's pillow with words on it. He pulled it out and saw that it was a handkerchief with three peaches embroidered on it. The word "Taotao" was embroidered in the lower right corner. The embroidery was crooked and very rough.
Qi Nanfeng smiled, stuffed the handkerchief into his arms, turned and left.
