Chapter 169: Let Him Be a Fleeing Rabbit
Ye Xiaoxian was dazzled by the bright sunlight as she walked out of the prison. Having been suffocated for days in jail, she could finally get a breath of fresh air outside.
Xiao Baoshan was there waiting for her. Bathed in sunlight, he was tall and handso, smiling as gently as a spring breeze.
“Baoshan...” Ye Xiaoxian ran towards him but paused halfway. She was afraid that her sll would disgust him.
Seeing that, he strode over to her at once.
“Baoshan, don’t get close to . I’m dirty and slly!” she said hastily.
Xiao Baoshan smiled and didn’t stop. Then, he held her hand in his firmly. “Let’s go ho together!”
Ye Xiaoxian tried her best not to be too close to him as they walked ho together.
The news that she had been released spread throughout the county. Li Hongi, Liu Qianqian, Xiao Tieshu and Xiao Tongshu all ca to celebrate her return. Li Hongi set several tables to hold a welcoming dinner for Ye Xiaoxian, set off firecrackers and let her stride over a brazier to dispel any bad luck.
After Ye Xiaoxian had cleaned herself up, she enjoyed the feast with her family and friends.
Liu Qianqian asked her whether she had been frightened in prison.
Ye Xiaoxian said, “No. You were helping all the ti, so I was not afraid at all.”
After saying that, she took a glance at Xiao Baoshan who had given her the greatest support. Just then, Xiao Baoshan’s eyes t hers. But they looked profound, not as joyful as she had expected.
What is weighing on his mind?
That night, Ye Xiaoxian and Xiao Baoshan lay in bed together with their fingers entwined. For a long while, they remained silent. Ye Xiaoxian didn’t know what to say. She was still in a trance after so many days in custody. At the sa ti, Xiao Baoshan was preoccupied with his own thoughts. He had been wordless since Ye Xiaoxian was released, though his eyes were always fixed on her.
At this mont, he turned over and held Ye Xiaoxian gently in his arm, but he still showed no intention of speaking.
“Baoshan, are you hiding sothing from ?” Ye Xiaoxian asked.
He smiled softly. “My love, I might have a long trip in a couple of days.”
“Well, to deliver goods?”
Xiao Baoshan didn’t answer.
She gave up the question and asked another. “When will you co back?”
He still evaded the question. Co back? He also wondered whether he could co back or not.
Ye Xiaoxian kept asking, “Baoshan, did you beg soone you shouldn’t beg or do sothing you shouldn’t do just to save ?”
Suddenly, he rolled over and put his weight on her like a tired beast.
Ye Xiaoxian told herself that she must have overthought it all. The provincial governor didn’t look like soone that would force people to do anything excessive. Then, she put her confusion aside and enjoyed this fleshly indulgence with her whole heart.
Ming Wei General’s Office in the capital.
This was the mansion of a fourth-ranked general, where Qian Qi held a post.
He was 35 years old and about 6 feet 2 inches tall. One year ago, he returned from the northern battlefield to nurse his injuries. Since the tension of war was eased, he had been staying in the capital.
One day, when he was strolling around the backyard with a caged bird, his subordinate reported, “General Qian, we’ve found Xiao Baoshan!”
“Xiao Baoshan?” Qian Qi was astonished. “Do you an the previous senior commandant of the cavalry?”
“Yes!”
“How did you get this information? Where is he?” Qian Qi asked.
“He’s in Qinghe county. Several days ago, the provincial governor reported that Xiao Baoshan had ordered him to handle a case for him using a military token.”
Qian Qi rubbed his chin, lost in thought. Then, a sneer crossed his face. “All right. Now that he doesn’t want to be a cowardly turtle anymore, we can let him be a rabbit, a fleeing rabbit!”
