I Want to be Alone, Beautifully

Xu Jiao looked at the row of feathers again.

She really doesn't like these colorful things, and the East Palace she lives in is not bad. If there is no accident, she will be the one to succeed in the next year. By then, the entire Emperor's private treasury of Dayan will be hers. All the treasures collected by the emperor of the Xu family belong to her, but I heard that most of the treasures that the emperor of the Xu family put in his private treasury are "Ten Researches on Torture", "One Hundred and Eight Methods of Skinning", "How to Make People Sick" Die in the most painful way" and other perverted murderer research experience that Xu Jiao is not interested in.

However, the inside is always a place to put treasures.

No matter how precious these feathers are, there is nowhere to put them.

It’s impossible not to choose now, but Xu Jiao is well aware of Yu Ye’s temperament of always digging holes when offering people choices, so she read it three or four times from left to right and right to left, but she still didn’t reach out, she was only very cautious to ask:

"If I choose one, what will happen next?"

Yu Ye's smiling eyes were slightly bent. Under the candlelight, her black hair at the temples was extraordinarily lustrous, shining like fine silk, and the complexion on the side of her face was also warmed. It is impossible to associate her with the ruthless Prince Regent.

She waved her hand to drive away the palace servants, but Xu Jiao was not deceived by her gentle appearance, on the contrary, she became more vigilant. She was only sitting on the edge of the bed, but now she shrank back subconsciously, and even stretched her hands to the edge of the pillow. nearby.

Seeing her movements, Yu Ye remembered that she hid an ordinary short blade under her pillow because there were too many assassins in the East Palace and she didn't trust the guards outside at night, so she raised her eyebrows:

"It's just a birthday present for His Highness. If His Highness doesn't like it, just reject me. There's no need to use knives and guns on this happy day."

Xu Jiao withdrew her hand as if nothing had happened, looked at Yu Ye with dark brown eyes, and walked past her sharp facial features. Although she didn't see anything, she did not forget to say:

"Master Yu's gift doesn't seem to be so easy to refuse."

Yu Ye saw that she sat up straight unintentionally, her expression didn't change, but her body was obviously guarding herself, and she felt a little wrinkled.

In her silence, Xu Jiao knew that she was unhappy.

Perhaps the relationship between the two who had been a little closer during this period will return to its original appearance because of this stalemate.

An imperceptible annoyance arose in her heart, and she ignored it without noticing it, and the breath on her face was just a pause. Immediately, she thought, the childish person is not herself, if Yu Ye hadn't insisted on sending this kind of Don't you accept the gift happily? Don't both of you have to be so embarrassed?

It was all because Yu Ye was stingy.

The lights in the corner bloomed with a little 'beep' movement, casting waves in this silent night.

The smile on the corner of Yu Ye's lips faded away, Xu Jiao held her breath and focused her eyes on her lips, listening to Yu Ye slowly say:

"Master Yu's gift, His Royal Highness is not easy to refuse—"

Xu Jiao was about to show a clear smile when she heard Yu Ye add the second half of the sentence: "However, if you don't like the gift that Sister Yu gave you, it means that she didn't pick it well. If you don't like it, Then don't."

As he spoke, Yu Ye picked up the plate of feathers that the palace servant had put on the table before leaving, and then walked towards the window. Xu Jiao had already guessed her decision just by watching her two movements .

Yu Ye actually planned to throw away all these carefully selected gifts.

a time.

Xu Jiao's stubbornness and disgust subsided a lot, because Yu Ye was the first one to give in.

When Yu Ye walked to the window, she said again: "Wait."

Yu Ye looked back at her, as if wondering why she had changed her mind after she clearly said she didn't like it.

Xu Jiao took a breath, and said quickly: "I thought that Master Yu gave me this gift to remind me of some...'disrespectful' behaviors before. If it is not, then I am worrying too much, sir The gift from you is very good, I grew up in the palace, and I have never seen so many rare bird feathers, I will put them away and let the palace people take good care of them."

Yu Ye narrowed his eyes, unable to tell if his mood had improved.

Dressed in black, she stood by the window, even the color of her eyes melted into the night outside the window, only the fire light reflected in her pupils gave her the warmth of the world, and the only warm thing on her body was The color only surrounds Xu Jiao.

Because she was watching Xu Jiao.

After a while like this, she opened her mouth, but it was a question: "What rude behavior?"

Xu Jiao: "..."

Ask knowingly.

She raised her hand and touched her nose, showing a little helplessness on her face: "I picked up a white cat earlier, and then the cat disappeared for no reason, and the palace people around me still thought about it for several days. Where did this cat come from? Now, looking at the birthday presents Mr. Yu gave me in recent years, no matter how stupid a person is, he can guess the clue—"

"Master Yu won't think I'm a fool, will he?"

Yu Ye heard that the curvature of her lips became bigger, and she closed her eyes. This was the first time Xu Jiao saw her take the lead to look away when she was talking to someone, and restrained together with her arrogance. .

She said: "No one has given me a toy for many years, and it was specially made for me."

"I thought these special memories could be shared with others, but I didn't expect that not everyone thinks these are precious like me."

Xu Jiao parted her lips, not knowing what to say.

In fact, she thought Yu Ye was taking revenge on her before.

After all, everyone is a powerful, scheming senior player, and every gift they give is meaningful, and the meaning behind it is more important than the gift on the surface, so she always feels that Yu Ye is reminding her that she has not forgotten that she was raped when she became a cat. Ravaged - ravaged hatred.

Yet now.

For the first time, she felt that she was treating Shang Yuye with the heart of a villain.

Xu Jiao averted her gaze with some guilty conscience, looked at the picture carved on the wood beside the bed, and said two words unskillfully: "Sorry."

Yu Ye looked at her with a smile: "But my heart has already been hurt."

Xu Jiao: "...?"

She turned her head to look at Yu Ye, as if she was looking at a person whose house had been taken away.

The guy who said such nasty and disgusting words is not the real regent, is he?

Yu Ye casually placed the wooden tray by the window, and Xu Jiao saw the feathers inside that were about to fly away under the majestic wind of the window, and responded directly with actions, walking forward in two steps in three steps, and took all the feathers inside. Hold it down, and then hold the tray and want to go back to your bed.

Yu Ye raised his hand from behind her and hugged her, leaned over and put his chin on her shoulder, and asked softly:

"Ask Your Highness again, do you like all these gifts?"

Xu Jiao nodded, ignoring the vague ambiguity when she spoke on the side of her neck, and replied seriously: "Master Yu's gifts are the most special, I will treasure them."

Yu Ye smiled slightly, and the ending sound quickly disappeared into the air without a trace, leaving only a little lingering sound in his ears, which was intriguing.

"Treasure is not necessary, after all, it is not very durable..."

Her voice became lower and lower, and the last few words seemed to be swallowed.

Xu Jiao tilted her head slightly: "What?"

What is not durable?

What else can this feather be used for?As a feather duster?This amount is not enough?

Yu Ye touched the back of her neck, rubbing his thumb slowly near the cervical spine, as if giving her a massage, but the strength was light and heavy at times, with an indescribable feeling of intimacy, Xu Jiao couldn't help shrinking her neck.

The fingertip movement of the person behind him stopped for a moment, and he quickly replied: "Nothing."

She said again: "I mean, what about the person who gave the gift?"

Xu Jiao then repeated: "The person who gave the gift?"

Yu Ye lowered his eyes to look at the person who was honestly being held in his arms, and the smile on the corner of his lips became wider: "Does Your Highness like the person who gave the gift?"

Xu Jiao stopped breathing.

This emotional line...is it opened again?

Yu Ye was fine when he was a human, but he changed into a cat once, why did he fall in love with him?Does it imply that inappropriate people can have love?

Yu Ye didn't hear her answer for a long time, pressed her into his arms a little tighter, and asked urgently: "Huh?"

Xu Jiao pondered for a while, and said her answer quite calmly: "I have someone I like."

Yu Ye's breath suddenly changed: "Who?"

Xu Jiao pulled her hand away calmly: "You don't know him."

Yu Ye didn't let her run away, obviously her emotions were not right, but the smile in her voice was still there: "If you tell me, I'll know you now?"

Xu Jiao: "I got to know each other, then what? Kill her?"

Yu Ye scratched the side of her face with his fingertips: "It's so smart."

Xu Jiao guessed that this was the case, and resisted the urge to roll her eyes, thinking that the nature of these heroines' forced marriages still can't be changed, since...Xia Jingzhe, it has been like this.

She was already ready to be pushed down on the table by Yu Ye in the next second.

Unexpectedly, Yu Ye let go of her waist.

Then took two steps back.

Xu Jiao: "?"

She turned her head to look at Yu Ye, and saw that she turned her eyes away, her face was cold and heartless again, and then the man walked out of the hall without saying a word, Xu Jiao looked at her back, a little surprised Ask out loud:

"Master Yu, did you... give up?"

Yu Ye stopped, but didn't look back: "Of course not."

Xu Jiao waited for a while, and heard her say again: "I will wait for you. I am strong in martial arts, strong in body, and should live for many years. I can afford to wait."

These words were somewhat unexpected to Xu Jiao, and made her want to laugh.

What Yu Ye said, if the person she likes also has high martial arts skills, is she planning to outlive him?

But Yu Ye seemed to know how irritating Xu Jiao's mouth was. After saying this, he left quickly, not wanting to hear more hurtful words from Xu Jiao.

Looking at the empty hall, Xu Jiao stood there quietly——

This is very good, this is the most normal plot development, she thought.

……

child time.

Xu Jiao turned over again on the bed.

She fell asleep.

The reason is unknown.

Because she has been rolling for three or four hours, she felt that it was too difficult to wait for the long night sky alone, so she called out the system: "Tell me, is her gentleman's attitude real, or is she just pretending? Will she not come back later?" Let's start engaging in that kind of forced drama, shall we?"

The system was a little puzzled: "What do you want to do so much, it doesn't matter whether she will come or not, anyway, there is no show tonight, why are you so impatient?"

Xu Jiao: "..."

She said a word slowly: "Get lost."

The system calmly shut down the microphone.

But after a while, Xu Jiao let it roll back again: "I just think that bystanders are clear, you have followed me so many books, you can look at it from the perspective of an outsider, is Yu Ye... the same as the previous heroine? Not the same?"

The system thought that how would I know.

But talking like this, Xu Jiao will definitely let him go. He doesn't want to go back and forth over and over again, so he can only search the high-tech world for "what is the reason why my lover is not interested in my body suddenly".

The entry comes out first:

A must have gone off the rails!

The system ruled out this option. After all, Yu Ye and Xu Jiao should be the first love, and it is impossible to cheat, so it changed the search method, 'First love doesn't want to sleep with me-what is the reason'.

The result came out again——

So Xu Jiao waited until she fell asleep, and finally heard its flat and calm voice: "It's very simple, there are two situations."

Xu Jiao: "Ready to play."

System: "The first one, she can't."

Xu Jiao: "???"

She thought for a while, between girls and girls, at most they can use their hands. Yu Ye is a master of martial arts, and he is not disabled, and his hands are not broken, so it is not impossible.

So she asked, "You mean Yu Ye is cold-hearted?"

System: "Ask me about the heroine you wrote?"

Xu Jiao: "..."

She took a deep breath: "Impossible, the hero and heroine of the novel can't do anything, only the ability in this aspect is absolutely gifted."

The system let out an "oh" and immediately said, "Then this is the second situation."

Xu Jiao answered without hope: "What?"

System: "You can't."

Xu Jiao: "..."

She now feels that it is too embarrassing for them to consult artificial intelligence with emotional problems!Maybe that's why AI isn't allowed to install emotion packs, and it's too irritating to answer questions!

She laughed back angrily, the last bit of drowsiness was gone, and said immediately: "Okay, tell me what's wrong with me?"

The system thought, why do you have to ask me this.

But it still searches extremely patiently: "What are the performances of girls who can't do it".

Afterwards, I only heard it announce in an extremely calm manner: "You are loose."

Xu Jiao: "..."

Xu Jiao: "..."

Xu Jiao: "..."
