Chapter 87 Late Night Meeting
Chapter 87 Late Night Meeting
Yao Jia returned to her room and asked Qing Zhu to pick up the brocade boxes on the ground and bring the largest box over.
After Qingzhu had packed up, he handed the box that Yaojia had asked him to give to Yaojia.
Yao Jia took out a pair of filigree bracelets inlaid with enamel auspicious clouds and sugar-colored agate, and gave one to Qingzhu and Hongying each.
"I wanted to choose jade for you, but Qingzhu, you have a cheerful personality, and Hongying spends all day wielding swords and clubs. This kind of material is better. It is strong, beautiful, and has a good meaning."
The two were delighted to receive the bracelets and put them on each other.
At this time, a little Taoist boy came in and said that someone from Gujiabao had come to deliver an invitation to Yaojia.
Yao Jia ordered him to bring the person in.
He was a man dressed like a servant in his twenties. As soon as he came in, he was stunned by Yao Jia's beautiful appearance. He stood there for a long time without being able to speak.
After being scolded by Qingzhu, he quickly knelt on the ground.
"I am Gu Yi, the young master's personal servant. I am here today to deliver the young master's birthday invitation to the young master."
After saying that, he handed the invitation to Yao Jia.
Yao Jia held the invitation and murmured in her heart: According to Gu Xiyan's personality, he should have delivered the invitation himself, so why did he send a servant to deliver it?
Although she was confused, Yao Jia still smiled at Gu and said, "Okay, I will definitely attend on time tomorrow."
After hearing what was said, Gu Yi quickly stood up and left as if he was afraid that Yao Jia would go back on her word.
Yao Jia took the invitation and looked at the powerful handwriting on it. It was obviously written by Gu Xiyan himself. She opened the invitation and saw the time and place of the birthday party, as well as a line of small words.
"My heart is filled with emotion. I didn't send the note in person, please forgive me." At the end of the note, there is a girl with a ponytail and a wronged expression.
Yao Jia burst out laughing. This Gu Xiyan was really childish.
Yao Jia tossed and turned at night but couldn't fall asleep.
One reason was that Nangong Xiulan and Langyue were not here, and the other was that they had to go to Gujiabao tomorrow. When Yaojia thought of this, she felt a little scared. The horrible scenes in her dream were really...
I got up and wanted to breathe some fresh air to get rid of the confusion in my mind. As soon as I opened the window, I heard a "ah".
Gu Xiyan held his forehead and looked at Yao Jia with a wronged look.
Yao Jia also looked at him suspiciously, "Why are you standing next to my window? You don't want to climb in through the window!"
Gu Xiyan rubbed his forehead, not at all embarrassed by having his thoughts exposed. He tilted his head and looked at Yao Jia with a smile.
"I saw that your lights were off, and I was afraid that knocking on the door would disturb your rest, so I thought of climbing in through the window."
As he said this, he put his hands on the windowsill and prepared to jump in, but was pushed back by Yao Jia halfway.
"Do you have any shame to jump into a girl's room in the dark?"
Gu Xiyan took the opportunity to grab the little hand that pushed him. It felt delicate, boneless, soft and smooth, and his heart was instantly moved.
"Jia Jia, we are already engaged, and we have had... Why bother about these things?"
After saying that, he kissed the back of Yao Jia's fair hand.
Yao Jia quickly pulled her hand back, thinking: After tomorrow we will go our separate ways.
Although I thought so, looking at Gu Xiyan's affectionate eyes, my heart couldn't help but soften a little.
"You...what do you want from me?" Yao Jia turned her head away, not looking into Gu Xiyan's eyes.
Gu Xiyan's eyes lit up instantly, "Of course I miss you so much that I want to come over and take a look at you."
Yao Jia probably couldn't understand the feeling of not seeing each other for three days, and muttered, "We're going to meet tomorrow, why are you coming over here so eagerly?"
Reaching out to close the window, "I've already checked it, go back to bed."
Gu Xiyan raised his hand to block it.
"Jia Jia, don't be so heartless. I finally got rid of the masters and came to look for you. Can't you talk to me for a while?" He blinked as he spoke, with a nonchalant tone.
"Masters? You have many masters?"
Gu Xiyan looked a little proud, sat on the windowsill, and counted carefully for Yao Jia with his fingers, "One civil servant and one military servant, one weapon maker, and a few friends my father made while traveling around the world, a total of seven."
Yao Jia was shocked. "With so many masters, can you handle them all?"
"Those people in the martial arts world are my home. I only meet them a few times every year on my birthday. Every time they come, they will test whether I have practiced martial arts well in the past year, and then give me some pointers. As for the rest, I can usually handle them."
Yao Jia couldn't help but admire, "No wonder your martial arts are so good, it turns out you got the true teachings from the people in the martial arts world."
Gu Xiyan rarely heard Yao Jia praise him, and he scratched his head shyly, "It's okay, just some ordinary self-defense skills."
Yao Jia's eyes moved slightly, and she said to Gu Xiyan: "How about we have a sparring match?"
When she saw Gu Xiyan fighting with Huaichuan and Hongying in the courtyard that day, she clearly felt that this person was deliberately letting her win just to vent her anger.
Gu Xiyan hesitated, "This is not a good idea. I'm afraid I'll hurt you by mistake."
Yao Jia rolled her eyes at him, "Don't look down on me. Although I'm not as good as you, I haven't slacked off for a single day in this year. Tell me straight out loud, do you want to compete with me?"
The corner of Gu Xiyan's mouth curled up into a beautiful arc. Since Yao Jia wanted to, he naturally had to accompany her.
"Jia Jia, you better be careful, I will never let you go."
After saying that, Gu Xiyan stood up and got ready in the yard.
Seeing this, Yao Jia also found a wooden stick and confronted Gu Xiyan.
The two fought back and forth, and it was hard to tell who was the winner. Gu Xiyan saw that Yao Jia's skills were not good enough, so he also restrained his internal strength and only used his moves to deal with her.
After several confrontations, Yao Jia had a deeper understanding of Gu Xiyan's martial arts, and couldn't help but secretly admire his talent.
It’s just that this martial arts style always exudes a sense of familiarity.
Gu Xiyan saw the admiration in Yao Jia's eyes and felt proud, but he deliberately exposed a flaw and was hit on the shoulder by Yao Jia's stick.
"Ouch!" Gu Xiyan screamed exaggeratedly, squatted down and covered his shoulders, "Jia Jia, you are so cruel!"
Seeing this, Yao Jia quickly put away the stick and ran over to support him, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't expect to really hit you, how is it, does it hurt?"
Gu Xiyan leaned his head on Yao Jia's shoulder, his face full of pain, his voice a little weak, "It hurts so much, it hurts so much, I feel like my shoulder is going to break."
Yao Jia was shocked. Although she felt that she didn't use that much force, she still helped Gu Xiyan into the house.
He let him sit on the couch, stood in front of him, and carefully undressed him, preparing to check whether his injuries were serious.
But as soon as his hand touched his shoulder, Gu Xiyan pulled him into his arms.
Yao Jia's eyes widened in shock at Gu Xiyan's sudden action. She put her hands on his chest, trying to push him away, but he held her hands tightly.
"Gu Xiyan, what are you doing? Let me go!" Yao Jia scolded in a low voice, but there was a hint of panic in her voice.
Yao Jia had just fought with him outside, her cheeks were flushed, and fine beads of sweat had stuck a few strands of hair to her neck. A longer strand of hair stuck to her neck and extended down, directly into the groove inside her collar.
Gu Xiyan lowered his head to look at Yao Jia's blushing cheeks, his gaze following her hair down, his heart filled with emotion.
He looked back into Yao Jia's eyes, "Jia Jia, let me stay tonight."
