MTL - The Fugitive White Moonlight of a Powerful Minister-Chapter 43
Chapter 43
Wen Ning still hadn't reacted, and heard another voice: "General Shen!"
Plop—
Another sound.
Co-author Today, is this a rush to get dumplings?
Don’t take her with you if you want to order dumplings. First, she can’t drink water, and second, she’s most afraid of the cold. Which... bastard! He even pushed her into the lake.
The next breath, she was engulfed by the bone-piercing lake water and had no energy left to think, her mind was full of: "It's in vain for me to plan so much, this life is actually short-lived?"
Wen Ning doesn't know how to swim, so naturally she doesn't know how to hold her breath, let alone paddling. She knows that she will spend half the night outside today, so she specially dresses thickly. The heavy clothes are stained with water, like iron and lead.
She jumped in the water twice before sinking straight down.
Whether it was the lack of air or the bitterness of the lake, she was powerless to resist.
When her consciousness was about to blur, a powerful arm grabbed her. The instinct of survival, her body was ahead of her consciousness, and she clung tightly to the person.
Is it Shen Jin?
That's right, the "General Shen" just now, must have been Shen Jin who saw her fall into the water and jumped off.
When she was young, she fell into the water once, and it was Shen Jin who jumped down to rescue her.
By relying on the strength of the person who came, Wen Ning quickly surfaced, spit out a mouthful of water when he came into contact with the air, and then coughed violently. The person who couldn't drink at all was choked and coughed hard. In order to stabilize her figure, Wen Ning could only hug the person who was supporting her even tighter.
But she soon realized that something was wrong.
This breath... she is too familiar.
She and Shen Jin have known each other for a long time and have been engaged for many years, but after she became sensible, she never violated the rules, let alone being so close that she knew his aura.
Wen Ning managed to suppress her cough, and glanced at the person holding her from the corner of her eyes.
Seeing this, the cough became even worse.
Pei You's face was condensed under the moonlight, and water droplets hung on his face, which made his skin extremely fair, and the tiny mole on the bridge of his nose was also extremely conspicuous.
Hearing her cough intensified suddenly, Pei You turned around and glanced at her very indifferently.
This, this, this...
Wen Ning wanted to let go of the hand that was holding him tightly, but reason told her not to be impulsive.
What is the situation now? Let her analyze and analyze.
However, she just fell into the water, her whole body was so cold that her teeth were chattering, and her mind seemed to be filled with lead. The only thing she could figure out was... As a woman who loves Pei You deeply, she shouldn't dislike him at this time.
Instead, she should have acted...grateful, with tears in her eyes for his rescue?
Wen Ning shuddered.
Fortunately, Pei You didn't give her a chance to perform,
He obviously didn't want to have anything to do with her, or there were some rumors, he didn't take her ashore at the nearest place, but swam a long way with her.
There were no palace lanterns at the place where I went ashore, and I didn't see any people. I only saw a few trees and a flowerbed by the moonlight in the clear moon.
As soon as he got ashore, Pei You threw her to the ground.
Thanks to her heavy clothes, otherwise, her body would definitely be bruised.
But this is also good, she didn't even need to pretend that tears welled up in her eyes.
Pain came out.
Wen Ning looked up at Pei You "full of tears".
Because of being soaked in water, Pei You's clothes were all stuck to his body. He didn't shiver like Wen Ning, but his face was sombre, and his face was unreasonably cold.
By relying on years of experience around him, Wen Ning could easily tell that he was angry.
And is very angry.
She moved her lips, thinking that she should say something at this time, such as cursing "Can't you be gentle", but obviously this sentence should not be said by a woman who has just been rescued by her "sweetheart".
"Have you had enough trouble?" Pei You spoke first, his tone was cold and intimidating, but he bowed to Yun Tinglou Luotuo half a year ago, and said "Meet Miss Wen" like a stream of water, he was a different person.
Wen Ning's brain, which was almost frozen, turned a little bit with difficulty because of his words.
So now Pei You... thought that when she saw the girl from the Zhao family fall into the water, he jumped down to save her, worried that something was wrong with the two of them, so he jumped down too?
Well…
It was about half a year ago that she made her image really crazy...
But this is also a statement that makes Pei You dislike him even more.
"Mr. Pei...Mr. Pei really has me in his heart..." Wen Ning said weakly like a mosquito.
Seeing Pei You frowned, pursed her thin lips, and bit the root of her teeth invisibly.
He looked extremely upset.
If it wasn't too cold, her face would be numb from the cold, Wen Ning really suspected that she would not be able to hold back, so she laughed on the spot.
Strategizing, the noble and proud Pei You had such an expression on his face? But she is just a weak woman who "admires" him, and he can't do anything to her yet.
However, why was she the one Pei You saved?
The sky is too dark, the water is too messy, did he rescue the wrong one?
That's right.
In her previous life, she didn't come to this night banquet, Zhao Xizhi was the only one who fell into the water, so naturally he couldn't save her by mistake. Just now she fell into the water again, and Shen Jin jumped after him. There were four people in the lake at the moment, so it's not uncommon for them to make mistakes.
Thinking of this, Wen Ning scolded the person who pushed her into the water again. The strength was clearly intentional, and she didn't know what kind of intentions she had!
"Mr. Pei, you and I are now..." In this situation, Wen Ning can only push the boat with the flow and act again.
Before finishing the sentence with shy eyebrows and eyes, Pei You interrupted: "Girl, please respect yourself. You are not the one I want to save. The water is too dark, so it's just a mistake."
Sure enough.
Wen Ning continued: "But..."
"No, but. Nothing happened between you and me today. If there is, then the girl fell into the water and swam to the shore by herself." Pei You's voice was so cold that ice could form.
Oh, it's really ruthless.
However, it was just what she wanted.
Wen Ning was "poor", her eyes were "wounded", her body was trembling in the wind. This shivering is not an act of faking. Falling into the water in winter makes normal people cold.
"It won't do the girl any good to spread the word about it. Give the girl a few words—you have to know yourself."
Pei You didn't look at her more since he landed, and looked at the sparkling lake with his hands behind his back. Seeing that she didn't reply, he said coldly:
Wen Ning was blown by the wind so much that her nose was about to flow out. She sniffed, rolled her eyes, and simply pretended to be sobbing. While sniffing, she wiped the end of her eyes with her sleeve.
Anyway, it was so dark, he couldn't see if she was really crying.
Pei You glanced at her very indifferently, turned around and was about to leave, when a person suddenly sprang out from behind the dark tree: "Master."
Bow and hand over a cloak.
Although the night was a bit dark, Wen Ning still recognized it at a glance, it was white.
In her previous life, she ran away, eight out of ten times she was caught by Pei You, and the remaining two times, it was Tu Bai. She knew his shape and shape all too well.
In this life, he is still by Pei You's side, but the form seems to be a little different from the previous life.
Pei You took the cloak from Tu Bai's hand, paused his hand slightly, lowered his eyes a little, thinking about something, and turned around.
With a bad attitude, she put the cloak on Wen Ning, and said to Tu Bai: "Find her some clothes."
simply walked away.
