Chapter 409: Snow on the Desk of the Infatuated Alliance Leader (10)
Bai Chao closed the box and said, "In that case, I will send someone to take you down the mountain tomorrow morning."
Shen Qiuyu pursed her lips and smiled softly.
"Thank you, Young Master. Qiuyu will take her leave now."
"Ah."
After Shen Qiuyu left, before Bai Chao turned around, he saw half of a head sticking out from the door.
"……neat?"
"Brother!"
Jiang Yingchu jumped out, ran to Bai Chao and said with a smile: "Brother, what were you talking about with Miss Shen just now?"
Bai Chao shook the box in his hand and said, "Nothing, she just came to give me an eye mask."
"Oh, really."
Jiang Yingchu blinked teasingly: "I've asked you, brother. Mother also likes this Miss Shen very much~ You guys~"
"..."
Bai Chao knocked Jiang Yingchu on the head.
"Chu Chu, don't joke about a girl's innocence. There is nothing between Miss Shen and me."
"Ouch." Jiang Yingchu rubbed his head, "Brother, you hit me and hurt me."
"It hurts so much that you can remember it."
Jiang Yingchu pulled Bai Chao's arm and acted coquettishly: "Brother~ I really think Miss Shen is pretty good~"
"Stop."
Bai Chao sighed: "Brother, I have a lot to do today, so I don't have the energy to think about these things."
Jiang Yingchu also sighed like Bai Chao: "Okay..."
"Then I'll go to the front hall to see which sects are here today~"
Jiang Yingchu said excitedly: "I heard that people from Baicao Valley are here too. I can ask them why the flowers and plants I planted never survive."
Bai Chao suddenly grabbed Jiang Yingchu.
"Chu Chu, don't go to the front hall."
"Ah? Why?"
"Because..." Bai Chao thought for a moment, "the people who just came here stepped on cow dung on the road, and they haven't cleaned it up yet. They stink all over. You'd better not go over there."
Jiang Yingchu pinched his nose: "Eh...then I'd better go to the backyard."
"Well, go ahead. There's someone there with a little curly-haired puppy. You can go now to have a look."
"Really?" Jiang Yingchu's eyes lit up. After getting Bai Chao's affirmative answer, she hurriedly lifted her skirt and ran to the backyard.
In the dark, a secret guard turned back and reminded: "Maoyou, why haven't you followed the young lady yet?"
"..."
Jing Hengzhou withdrew his gaze, jumped out of the hidden corner, and temporarily served as the secret guard.
That night.
Bai Chao was busy all day and returned to his yard late at night.
He walked into the ear room with a weary look on his face.
There is a hot spring pool in the ear room, with steam rising from it.
Bai Chao waved his hand, dismissed the servant who was about to serve him, and unbuttoned his brocade robe.
As the clothes fell to the ground, Jing Hengzhou also looked away.
He originally wanted to visit Songtaoju again at night, but when he passed by Zhishuiyuan, he saw Bai Chao who had just returned.
I don't know why, but my steps stopped.
Maybe I just want to see what this person is doing...
"..."
Jing Hengzhou stretched out his hand and felt the cool breeze.
The wind has changed. It's going to rain.
Jing Hengzhou put down his hand.
time to go.
At this moment, he heard the sound of something entering the water from below. Jing Hengzhou paused and finally looked down.
The man had already sat in the bath, with most of his body submerged under the water and white mist looming.
Jing Hengzhou's gaze flickered to the bare shoulder.
Suddenly my throat felt dry.
"..."
Jing Hengzhou shifted his gaze to Bai Chao's face and suddenly frowned slightly.
Why does this person wear an eye mask while bathing?
Except for the time when he took it off when measuring the size with the embroiderer that day, he had never been seen to take it off, including in private occasions like this.
Won’t it be uncomfortable if your eyes are stuffy like this?
Jing Hengzhou saw the person below leaning against the edge of the pool, his head nodding, his eyes half closed, and he looked like he was about to doze off.
Jing Hengzhou's brows furrowed.
This man used to often ask someone to check in the middle of the night whether he was practicing in the Shadow Tower, but he was too busy these days and forgot about him, which gave him the opportunity to check late at night.
Being busy from morning till night can be tiring.
But the man is so sleepy, why doesn't he let the servants serve him?
Seeing that Bai Chao's head was about to sink below the water surface, Jing Hengzhou suddenly raised his hand, and a floating leaf fell into his hand. Jing Hengzhou then shook his wrist lightly, and the leaf flew in.
The leaves quickly hit the water surface, creating tiny ripples.
Bai Chao suddenly woke up from his stupor, and his hand under the water picked up tiny water droplets and accurately grasped the leaf.
"...leaves?"
Bai Chao saw clearly what was in his hand, then turned his head to look at the wooden window of the ear room.
I wonder which careless servant didn't close the window tightly.
Bai Chao casually threw away the leaf and stood up directly from the water.
Jing Hengzhou turned his head away quickly, and his Adam's apple moved unconsciously.
How could this person just stand up so casually without any warning...
"..."
Bai Chao walked barefoot on the blue bricks, leaving tiny water stains behind him.
The servant waiting outside the screen hurried forward with a soft towel to serve.
After drying his body, Bai Chao casually pulled on his shirt and put it on, then walked out of the room.
"You all go down."
"Yes."
Jing Hengzhou thought Bai Chao was going to bed, but this man walked to the eaves of the outer room and looked up at the moonlight outside.
Bai Chao murmured softly: "It's going to rain..."
Jing Hengzhou half-crouched on the side eaves, looking down at Bai Chao below.
It's going to rain.
The night wind is getting colder and colder. Why doesn't this person go into the inner room to rest?
"..."
Bai Chao let out a light sigh.
wood.
At this moment, a drop of rain fell quietly and hit the ground.
Then there was another drop of rain.
In the blink of an eye, raindrops as big as beans were falling down densely.
Bai Chao looked at the rain outside and turned back into the house.
Jing Hengzhou left in the rain.
He flew to the outside of Songtaoju and squinted his eyes to observe the situation outside.
The lights in the attic had been turned off long ago, probably indicating that the owner had gone to bed.
The rain affected his vision, so Jing Hengzhou looked carefully again.
You read that right, one team of secret guards was missing.
Perhaps it’s because there were so many visitors to the recent sword-fighting conference.
Jiang Yide is a suspicious old fox, how could he not assign people to keep an eye on him?
Jing Hengzhou has already figured out the terrain of Songtaoju in the past few days.
Without hesitation, he took advantage of the thunder and jumped into Songtaoju from the blind spot.
