The season has entered mid-April. At this time in previous years, the flowers bloomed in early spring, but this year is different from the past. Not only did the cold spring come a few days ago, but there was also a sleet and freezing rain last night. The delicate stamens that spit out were all frozen, Pei Youan came back just now, and it was long before the time of the lamp. The sky was dark, and the wind was a little bit cold. He rolled over and got off his horse, rubbing his fingers with ice, and then Go through the gate and walk in quickly.

These days, if he hadn't specifically reminded him before going out in the morning, no matter how late, even if he was hungry, Jiafu would have to wait for him to come back for dinner. In the evening, I could have returned early, but was delayed by something that was suddenly brought to the front. I only came back now. It was already in the middle of the hour. I was afraid that Jiafu would be hungry, and his steps were a little hurried, so he went straight to the second entrance room. She stepped into the hall, but unexpectedly did not hear the fast footsteps she greeted as before, stopped for a while, looked forward, and asked the maid Yinhuan who came to greet.

Yin Huan took the cloak he took off and said, "Little Lady Zhen hasn't used her food yet. I think she's still in the room right now, and you're hungry, adult? I'm going to tell the little lady to come down."

Pei Youan went to the dining room, washed his hands, took a seat, the servant put the food and two sets of chopsticks, Pei Youan waited for a while before Yin Huan hurried back and said: "The little lady is not in the room! I just asked people to look for them. , No one to see her!"

Pei Youan was startled: "She went out during the day?"

Yin Huan shook his head: "No." Suddenly remembered, and said hurriedly: "Yes! The little lady from Chuxiong Zhang's family has been here during the day!"

"What is she doing here?" Pei Youan frowned.

"I heard that your cousin came here and came to visit me. When she was gone, I went upstairs and saw Miss Zhen sitting on the stairs alone, her face pale, and she saw something was wrong. I asked her what was uncomfortable, and she shook her head again. After going up, she seemed to have never seen her come down."

Pei Youan immediately got up, walked quickly to the round building where Jiafu lived, and went upstairs and opened the door. The inside was empty. She was not visible. Only her light pink outer shirt was placed on the edge of the bed, and the corners of the shirt were quiet. Hanging on the ground,

"Call someone to look for it again! All the houses, the corners of the yard, can't be left in one place!"

Pei Youan turned back suddenly and said loudly.

Yinhuan turned and hurried down. The servants in the entire Pei Mansion were all nervous, looking everywhere, still not seeing her, Pei Youan went to the door again and asked the concierge to confirm that the concierge was always there during the day, did not leave for half a step, and did not see her go out. pass.

Pei Youan frowned and groaned for a moment, turned his head and looked at the window of the house where she lived, his eyes stopped for a while at the top of the round building, suddenly turned around, and left the person and rushed into it. Back in front of the round building, I climbed the stairs in three steps in two steps, climbed to the top in one breath, followed a narrow ladder, and went up to the small rooftop designed for wartime guards in the local building. Standing still, his eyes quickly swept around.

The rooftop has long been abandoned, and almost no one comes up on weekdays. At this moment, it is dark and the cold wind blows on all sides. There is a slender figure in the corner. It is Gaffer. In such weather, I only wear a layer of spring shirt and hug my knees. Sitting on the side of a wooden railing, looking out, the silhouette seemed to blend with the night.

Pei Youan strode away.

"Why does a person come here silently? Know how many people are looking for you just now?"

His tone unconsciously brought out harshness.

Gaffer was sitting still as if he hadn't heard of it, motionless.

The wind blew past his ears, and the curly robe was surging, he stopped, waited a moment, hesitated, got closer, and finally got behind her, this time leaning down and lowering Voice.

"Let me go, it's cold here."

It was as if Gaffer finally noticed his arrival, the slender shadow moved, and slowly turned his head, glanced at Pei Youan who was standing behind him, and said in a low voice: "Sorry, cousin...I didn't pay attention just now..."

Her voice was extremely faint, and her weak voice could be blown away by the night wind at any time. As she said, she grabbed the railing with one hand, leaned against it, stood up slowly, turned and walked inside, before taking two steps. , Pei Youan was startled when his body was tilted, and he instinctively stretched out his hands and supported her.

Jiafu leaned over Pei Youan's chest, motionless.

The softness that seemed to have been there before was full again in an instant.

Pei You settled down for a certain amount of time, slowly lowered his head, and saw her head softly against his left chest by the dim starlight around her, her eyes closed slightly, two rows of long eyelashes, curling shadows, but because of The distance is close, one by one, clearly countable.

If there was a big fist on her left chest, she jumped.

"cousin-"

He felt the weight of her in front of him, he hesitated, called her softly, and did not make a move. He moved a little back an inch before his shoulder moved. The person in his arms lost his support and his body slouched. He softened and threw silently on the ground beside his feet.

Pei Youan was taken aback, squatted down in a hurry, turned her face, and fainted when she saw her eyes closed tightly. He remembered what Yinhuan had just said, and immediately picked her up from the ground, across the clothes. Her skin was cold with tentacles, her body was as light as a butterfly, and she went down quickly, sent her into the house, gently removed her shoes, and lay flat on the bed.

The light on the rooftop was dim, and now I can see it clearly. Her face is white, and the two rosy lips are also cold and blue. I don’t know how long it has been blowing on top. The exhibition was rolled up and covered her, revealing only one weak wrist. Outside, he breathed out slowly, holding his breath, and then gently tapped **** to diagnose her wrist pulse.

Her pulse is weak and her breath is unstable, but her beating is steady, which should be caused by lack of vitality. After resting, the problem shouldn't be big.

Pei Youan relaxed a little, gently lifted her hand to cover her, glanced at her pale pale face, turned around, and planned to go out and call Yinhuan to accompany her.

"...Big cousin..."

He just turned around and heard a faint, vague voice behind him.

Pei Youan turned his head.

Gaffer's eyelashes trembled lightly, her eyes slowly opened, and she woke up.

Pei Youan walked back and said softly: "Wake up? How do you feel? Hungry, right? You don't need to come down, I will ask someone to bring something up for you to eat." After speaking, she shook her head and said she was not hungry, lying on the pillow, under her eyes. Slowly there seemed to be star tears flickering, her appearance was extremely pitiful, and she couldn't help but remember that she was just on the top of the roof. When she first found her, her tone was too blunt, and she couldn't help regretting slightly, and said in a gentle and pleasant manner: "What's the matter?"

Gaffer was silent, staring at him, the tears in her eyes became more and more obvious, and they soon gathered in the eyes, and the tears rolled down along the cheeks, and disappeared in the temples instantly, leaving only one corner of the eye. Wet tears.

Pei Youan's voice became lighter: "Don't cry. If you have something, just tell me."

"Big cousin...Are you interested in someone?"

Gaffer raised her hand and wiped the tears on her face indiscriminately, and asked with a soft nasal voice.

Pei Youan was taken aback, looked at her, saw her looking at herself with wide eyes, suppressed the weird feeling in her heart, and said: "What are you asking about this?"

"Cousin, please tell me first, please..."

Pei Youan felt incredible. He could completely ignore her sudden question, paused, but said indifferently: "No."

Gaffer sat up.

"During the day, Xiao Shizi’s fiancee Zhang’s daughter came here to see me. She said a lot of things to me, meaning she wanted me to leave Shizi! I didn’t want to, but I refused her, but I was terrified again! I repeatedly Offend him, someone like the eldest son, he won’t let me off easily... Big cousin, you said to help me before, but you help me now, after you can’t help me, sooner or later I will return to Quanzhou, and cousin you too. My own business, at that time, if the son is still unfavorable to me or threatens my family, what should I do? I am afraid..."

She had already wiped away her tears, and as she was talking, her tears rolled down again, and she suddenly got up, threw herself into Pei Youan’s arms, and hugged him tightly, just like she was in the post that night. Suddenly saw what he looked like when he appeared.

Pei Youan settled down.

Gaffer pressed her cheek to his chest, and tears soon wetted his clothes.

"Big cousin, didn't you promise to help me? Since you don't have a sweetheart, let me be your person, OK?"

Pei Youan was taken aback-even shocked.

"No!"

He categorically refused, raising his hand to untie her from his arms, but Jiafu got tighter.

"I know I am not worthy of my eldest cousin, but I have to think about it, and only let the world know that I am yours, he will stop and stop pressing like this. I don't dare to occupy my wife's position. , As long as your eldest cousin nods your head, I can be a concubine or a maidservant. If the eldest cousin really dislikes me, let me put a name on it!"

"Big cousin, please!"

Jiafu looked up at him, with tears in her beautiful eyes, and her eyes full of expectation, sweet flowers bring rain, I felt sorry for me, Ren Tieshi's heart, I was afraid that I would be softened by three points when I saw it.

Pei Youan looked down at her, the initial shock on her face gradually disappeared, and her expression became solemn.

Slowly, he finally untied Jiafu's arms, and he pondered, and said: "I do know a little bit about the nature of the son, but your method is too ridiculous. No need to think about it. I don't. I will agree. You are thinking too much, so that you are unsure and thinking too much. I ask someone to serve you. You can rest early and sleep well. Don't worry, I promised to protect you, and you will surely do it. ."

Sure enough, he easily refused to agree, a stone-like person, no matter how she tempted to show weakness and plead, it was useless.

This book was also expected by Gaffer.

She bit her lip tightly, looked at him sadly, and suddenly got up from the bed without wearing her shoes, and ran out barefoot.

Pei Youan was startled, called "cousin", and hurried to catch up.

Gaffer was like a rabbit. He was extremely flexible this time. In a blink of an eye, he climbed back to the roof, ran to the railing where he had just sat, leaned forward, and saw Pei Youan chasing after him, yelling: "Don't come over! When you come over, I will jump off! I have dreamed that I will fall into that person's hands sooner or later. Instead of that, I might as well stop living by myself, so that you don’t think I’m forcing you..."

While shouting, she leaned out of the railing.

Pei Youan was shocked and sternly said: "Danger! You come back to me!" He was about to pull her up.

"Big cousin, don't care about me, you won't really help me anyway—"

Jia Fu was yelling. Suddenly, the railing leaning on her side made a slight click. Before Jia Fu could react, she felt that her waist was empty and the railing broke. She suddenly lost her strength. Headed out.

This place was chosen by her in the evening. She wanted to threaten Pei Youan like this to show her determination, and then wait for him to pull herself back, but she never expected that this wooden railing would be deep and windy because of the age. Blowing in the sun, the outside looks intact, but in fact it is no longer reliable.

This round building is three stories high, at least ten feet tall, if it falls like this, there is no need to worry about Xiao Yintang's persecution.

"Big cousin, save me—"

With her head down, most of her body went out, and she subconsciously screamed. An ankle was suddenly clasped by a hand, and the fall was immediately stopped. Then, before he could react, the person was already He was dragged back from mid-air, and dropped to the ground with a "pop".

The scared soul of Jiafu was almost out of his body. At this moment, he was trembling and fell to the ground. With a sound of "Ouch", the tears fell out. The next moment, there was no place in his feet, and the person was suspended again. Picked it up. Pei Youan lifted Jiafu down like a chicken, hurried back to her room, and threw her heavily on the bed.

"I've been too spoiled for you, so you dare to fool around to this point, isn't it?"

He gritted his teeth and said every word.

Jiafu raised her head, facing Pei Youan's angry expression—

I've never seen him make such a fire before, and I couldn't imagine that he would be angry like this before.

"Master Pei?"

The voice of someone coming from outside.

Although the movement on the roof of the building was short, it was enough to attract people.

"Go down! Don't enter without a call!"

He screamed out the door.

With a slight rustling footsteps, the door fell silent.

He slowly turned his head and stared at Gaffer again, his eyes gloomy.

Gafferser flinched, lowered his head hurriedly, and shrank in the corner of the bed, not daring to breathe out the atmosphere.
