After eating this meal, Xue Chen was quite tired.

He was busy all the way, and his spirit was not very good. He finally had a decent meal, but he had to face Shen Shangshu's warm greeting, and he had to deal with the second prince's temptation and wooing. , Xue Chen only felt physically and mentally exhausted.

There are still many spare rooms in the inn. Shen Shangshu ordered someone to tidy up the room early on and boil hot water. As soon as Xue Chen had finished eating, he could take a hot bath when he returned, and then he plunged into the inn. Under the quilt, he fell into a deep sleep without hearing the knock on the door outside.

Chu Chu knocked a few times, but there was no response from inside. Just when Chu Chu was about to open the door and enter, a very familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind: "Miss Chu, what are you doing here late at night?"

Chu Chu turned her head quickly, and saw Jing Xing standing not far behind her with his hands behind his back, his eyes fell on her coldly.

Jing Xing was tall, even if he kept a distance from Chu Chu, Chu Chu could only slightly raise his head to look at him.

"I... I haven't seen my big brother for a long time, and I miss you for a while, and I also want to ask if everything at home is okay recently," Chu Chu said, "Why, can't it be okay?"

Chu Chu is quite confident.

She and Xue Chen are brothers and sisters, not to mention, she has been away for a long time, so it is reasonable for her to care about the current situation at home.

Hearing this, Jing Xing chuckled lightly.

That's an excellent excuse.

"Your elder brother is tired from the journey, I'm afraid he should have fallen asleep right now," Jing Xing said, "If Miss Chu just wants to catch up on the old days, let's wait until tomorrow."

Brother and sister Xue Chen and Xue Shu have exactly the same aura when they wake up.

When a person is asleep, they don't know whether the person on the other side is a man or a woman, and they attack indiscriminately when they move their feet. Was kicked half life.

Of course, Jing Xing appeared here to kindly remind Chuchu, not to protect Chuchu, but because Xue Chen came all the way to send him a message so that he could make timely countermeasures so that he would not be allowed to return to the capital. He became a loner, Jing Xing took over this kindness and painstaking efforts.

Therefore, letting Xue Chen sleep well is the only thing Jing Xing can do at present.

Chu Chu frowned, then turned her head to look at the quiet guest room door, and had no choice but to turn and leave.

Jing Xing stood for a while longer, seeing Chu Chu enter the door, before he turned and went back to his room.

-

It was near noon the next day that Xue Chen went out fully dressed.

There was silence in the inn. Shen Shangshu and his party had already gone to the government office to start a busy day. Apart from the second prince and Chu Chu, only Jing Xing, who had not recovered from his serious injuries, was still in the inn.

After eating a meal and taking a nap, Xue Chen's complexion looked much better to the naked eye, at least he didn't look like someone fleeing famine.

Chu Chu was sitting in the living room on the first floor, and when she saw Xue Chen coming out, she hurriedly went up to salute: "Big brother."

Xue Chen hummed, passed her by, and was about to go outside for a walk.

After finally coming to Yangzhou, he must go out and have a look. Although his time is very tight, there is always time to go out and have a look.

As for Chu Chu...

He didn't have any real feelings for Xue Yao, the third younger sister who grew up together, let alone such an outsider girl, it was already very polite to talk to her, and Xue Chen didn't bother to talk about it.

But he wanted to leave, but Chuchu didn't agree, she chased after a few steps, followed Xue Chen, and walked out together: "Big brother, I've been away from home for so long, how is my mother?"

"I don't know." Xue Chen said lightly.

He lived a fulfilling life every day. Besides, he couldn't even care about his mother and sister. What would he do if he took care of an outside room?If Xue Lu knew about it, it wouldn't be solved by a beating, it had to be peeled off.

Chu Chu gritted her teeth, tried her best to soften her voice, and said, "How is daddy? It's my fault. I finally recognized daddy, but we are thousands of miles away, so I can't be filial in front of daddy. Dad blames me." ?”

While talking, Chu Chu silently sighed in her heart that it was not easy to go home.

She used to look down on the soft-boned Xue Yue who was always at the mercy of the wind, but now in order to return to the capital, she yelled at each other quite naturally, even she almost regarded herself as a daughter who admired her father.

Xue Chen finally stopped and said, "I don't know if father blames you or not. Miss Chu, I know you are homesick, but I'm sorry, I can't take you back."

He couldn't even take care of himself along the way, and if he brought Chu Chu along, he didn't know how much time and energy would be wasted along the way. Maybe when he returned to the capital, he would have to lose his official hat, so he would have to go forward almost 20 years, really wasted.

Chu Chu's face froze slightly, she looked at Xue Chen with a little helplessness, her cherry lips parted and closed, as if she wanted to say something.

Xue Chen sighed, then turned and left.

Looking at the back of Xue Chen who turned and left, the helplessness on Chu Chu's face suddenly disappeared completely, and even a trace of resentment flashed across her face.

She was almost suffocated to death in this beautiful city of Yangzhou, and she put down her figure and face to seek help, but Xue Shu refused to take her away, and Xue Chen also refused to take her away. The two brothers and sisters really do not know each other Anyway!
When she sits in that high position in the future, she must let the brother and sister know how amazing they are!

Chu Chu stared at Xue Chen's back for a while, until Xue Chen went out, then she looked away bitterly, turned around and strode back to the inn.

-

It was noon when Xue Chen came back after walking around outside, had a meal with Jing Xing, then packed his bags again, and set foot on the road back to the capital.

"I'll ask Jing Yi to go back with you. Be careful on the way." Jing Xing stuffed two packages into his hands while talking, "This is for Shu'er."

Xue Chen hadn't traveled very far, and his skills were not very good, so he came to Yangzhou quietly when he went out. Jing Xing attributed his safe arrival all the way to his stupid luck, and he was still cautious when he went back. Some are good, although there are great peace and prosperity, but there are never many desperadoes.

Xue Chen glanced at him, but didn't refuse, he nodded, and got on the horse without much haste.

The exhaustion of running around for the past few days really cannot be made up for by a single sleep.

Looking at the backs of Xue Chen and Jing Yi leaving one after the other, Jing Xing sighed again.

He also wants to go back.

I miss the little girl.

I don't know if the little girl misses him too...

Jing Xing was startled, then shook his head.

Even if the little girl thinks of him now, she must be scolding him.

Forget it, or forget it.
