Chapter 2605 Companion (19)

Dusk falls, late at night.

When the moonlight disappears behind the clouds, the inn on the official road.

The lanterns were hung high at the door, and it was quiet. The cicadas were chirping everywhere, and the horses in the stables were whirring and tapping from time to time.

The door of the huge inn was closed at the moment.

There was no wind at night, and the dim light from the lanterns illuminated the official road.

There is a wide road to go back and forth, and there is no one around.

The road was silent, and without the moonlight, nothing could be seen clearly in the distance.

Long, spreading into the darkness.

Inside the inn, on the counter on the first floor, the shopkeeper was calculating accounts with an abacus under the candlelight.

Calculating the ledger, page after page.

Suddenly, the sound of horse trampling came from outside the door, from far to near, and finally stopped at the door.

The old shopkeeper in the store stopped for a moment while calculating the abacus, then took a sip of saliva and turned another page without raising his head, speaking vaguely.

"Xiaowu, someone is here, go and pick him up quickly."

There was no one on the first floor, all the passing guests had taken a rest, and only he and a boy were left.

The little handyman was dozing next to a table with a cleaning cloth hanging on his shoulder.

The head kept falling down, falling up again, rising up again and falling down again.

The old shopkeeper called him, but he didn't hear him and was still dozing off in a daze.

Blatantly lazy.

The old shopkeeper snorted and slapped his thick palm on the counter——

The "pop" sound was extremely loud.

It knocked his sleepiness away and he stood up in an instant.

"...there's someone here again?"

There was movement outside. He quickly wiped the drool that came out while dozing off, and ran out with a rag on his back.

Two legs run very fast.

The old shopkeeper was making calculations and looked sideways.

"Tsk, brat..."

…

…

…

Outside the inn.

When they arrived at the door, Huo Yuangong got off his horse first.

After loosening the reins, the horse automatically stopped and lowered its long neck.

Panting, his limbs moved symbolically a few times and his ponytail flicked.

The horse's back was shaking a little, and without support, the man on the horse subconsciously grabbed the saddle.

Her eyes followed him who dismounted first. His slender body was extremely weak and swaying as if he had no bones.

Seeing that he was about to fall, Huo Yuangong stood beside the horse and reached out to catch it.

He picked her up like a child.

The lantern at the door was dim, and his shadow was reflected lightly on the ground.

Mixed with hers, it's hard to tell who is who.

He followed her and held her firmly on the ground.

There was no moonlight, and the dim light fell on his eyebrows, which were deep and clear, with charming and handsome outlines.

He was cold and indifferent, as if he was covered with a layer of skin that could not be torn, hiding all his emotions in the skin, and could not see anything clearly.

Restrained and polite, cold and resolute.

He won't do anything to her, and he doesn't seem to have any other thoughts about her.

After putting her down, he stood firm and soon let go of her.

Keep the distance, neither far nor close.

It was so indifferent that people wanted to tear the layer of skin on his face, wanting him to reveal his emotional and uncontrollable side.

It makes people extremely curious as to what he will look like after his heart is moved.

Is it crazy and irrepressible, or...

Yun Si stared at him and suddenly approached.

Like a light butterfly, taking one step, the shadows that were originally mixed together under the light now completely overlap.

She came closer to him and stood up gently on her tiptoes.

A hand was placed on his shoulder, his chin was slightly raised, and the tips of his noses were close to each other.
