Chapter 149 He's angry
Stepping out of the tailor shop, the weather outside had changed.
The bright sunlight that was just moments ago is now obscured by clouds, turning gray and hazy.
A gust of wind blew by, swirling fallen leaves from the street and hitting the hem of my skirt.
Su Wuli subconsciously shrank her shoulders.
The next moment, the person was pulled into a warm embrace.
The man put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her closer to him.
His outer robe billowed slightly in the wind, blocking the oncoming breeze.
Su Wuli looked up at him.
She met Yu Chen's slightly lowered eyes, his deep gaze lingering on her face for a moment.
"cold?"
Su Wuli shook her head unconsciously.
The wind blew again, making her hair fly wildly.
Yu Chen immediately took her arm and led her toward the carriage, asking her questions as they walked.
"Where else would you like to go?"
Upon hearing this, Su Wuli paused for a moment.
I subconsciously thought of that girl, and of that inexplicable feeling of unease in my heart.
My chest felt tight, so I lost all interest in shopping.
And the situation has changed.
Su Wuli shook her head again, then said softly, "I'm not going."
Yu Chen's gaze lingered slightly on her face.
Su Wuli pursed her lips and lowered her eyes.
He didn't ask any further questions.
The carriage was just ahead, and Su Wuli was carried into it by him.
Sitting on the cushions against the carriage wall, the curtains swayed with the carriage, occasionally revealing a gap through which one could see the street scene outside.
Inside the carriage, no one spoke.
It's very quiet.
Su Wuli still felt a tightness in her chest. She tried taking deep breaths, but it didn't help.
His brows furrowed slightly as he looked through the gap in the curtains.
The street scene kept receding, and although the weather had changed, it was still bustling.
As she was looking around, she suddenly heard a voice outside.
"General Xiao is back."
The sound came from afar; someone was shouting.
Su Wuli didn't pay attention at first.
Then another sound reached my ears, closer still; it was people talking on the roadside.
"General Xiao is back. I heard he won the battle this time..."
"General Xiao? General Xiao Junyi?"
"Yes, that's him. He's so young, but incredibly talented..."
Xiao Junyi.
The moment those three words reached Su Wuli's ears, she felt as if she had been electrocuted.
Xiao Junyi?
The male protagonist in the novel?
Realizing something, Su Wuli suddenly turned her head and looked outside the curtain.
People were coming and going on the street, and it was impossible to tell who was who.
She lifted the curtain slightly and couldn't help but peek out, her eyes searching through the crowd.
Finally, on the far side of the street, a group of people was coming this way.
At the very front was a man on horseback, wearing a silver-gray robe.
It wasn't armor, just ordinary clothes.
The man held the reins, and the horse walked slowly.
I couldn't see their faces clearly from that distance.
But you can see a blurry outline; he's slender and upright, not like a general, but more like a scholar.
As the horse drew closer, Su Wuli could finally see the face clearly.
Warm and smooth.
This was the first word that popped into her head.
Xiao Junyi had gentle features and a faint smile on his lips as he listened to the person next to him.
His demeanor was completely unrelated to the word "general".
She stared blankly; it was completely different from what she had imagined.
The novel doesn't describe the male protagonist's appearance in detail, or perhaps she didn't pay much attention when she read it.
She had always thought that Xiao Junyi would be the kind of general who was both heroic and arrogant.
But now he looks more like a scholar from the Hanlin Academy, or a young master from some aristocratic family.
No wonder so many people liked him in the book; he had the looks of Pan An.
In today's modern world, he would be more than qualified to be a top-tier male celebrity.
Su Wuli couldn't help but stare intently.
The carriage sped past quickly, leaving the group of people far behind.
Only when she could no longer see the curtain did she turn her gaze away and lower it.
Turning her head, she was caught off guard and met the man's dark eyes.
Yu Chen leaned back, his posture languid, yet unexpectedly exuding an indescribable sexiness.
But when those deep eyes fell on her face, their expression changed slightly.
It was very deep, so deep it was somewhat gloomy.
He didn't say anything, he just looked at her.
She swallowed instinctively, her heart tightening under the man's gaze, and she didn't know what to do for a moment.
"What's wrong?" Su Wuli asked.
However, Yu Chen did not answer, but just looked at her.
My gaze shifted from her face to the curtain she had just lowered.
It paused for a moment and then moved back.
Silence remained.
Su Wuli felt extremely uncomfortable under his gaze.
When the carriage stopped, the wind outside picked up even more.
The curtains were billowing in the wind, and the light that had been filtering in had completely dimmed, as if it were about to rain at any moment.
Yu Chen didn't say a word the whole way.
Su Wuli didn't know what was wrong with him, and he didn't answer when she asked.
Yu Chen got up first, lifted the curtain, and got off the carriage.
Su Wuli looked at the falling curtains, bit her lip, and then reluctantly stood up.
However, the curtain was lifted again in the next second, and the man's hand reached in.
She looked up and met his face, but he was backlit and she couldn't see him clearly.
But Su Wuli could feel the gloom that still enveloped him, pressing down on his brows and eyes.
His lips were pursed tighter than usual.
Before she could react, her hand was already being grasped by a large hand.
Yu Chen took her down.
The moment Su Wuli's foot touched the ground, a gust of wind swept over her.
Before she could even flinch, the man had already pulled her into his arms.
He put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her into his embrace.
It blocked all the wind.
Yu Chen then escorted her across the courtyard and through the corridor.
The wind kept blowing, and his arm remained firmly in place.
Su Wuli nestled in his arms, and even with the wind howling, she could feel the man's heartbeat.
Yu Chen stopped at the door of the house.
He paused for a moment as he pushed the door open before pushing it open completely.
The room was still the same, and the pile of clothes was still on the table.
Yu Chen put her inside, but stood at the door himself.
He spoke in a deep voice, "Go in."
Su Wuli walked in, turned around as if to say something.
However, Yu Chen had already turned to leave.
In a moment of panic, she reached out and grabbed his sleeve.
He stopped and looked back at her, his brows furrowed, clearly displeased.
But when his gaze fell on her face, something seemed to stir in her eyes.
Su Wuli felt a tightness in her heart when he looked at her, but she still didn't let go.
"Where are you going?" she asked softly.
"Take a bath."
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Wuli froze.
A bath?
Didn't he just take a shower?
I had already washed up after practicing martial arts.
Su Wuli asked, "Didn't you just shower?"
