195 Review of “Drunken Bones (Guyan 1v1 High H)”

Bi Luo held the palace card and walked out of the palace gate smoothly. When she stepped out of the palace gate and saw streets leading to unknown directions, she was suddenly startled. Then she remembered that she rarely left the palace and had no idea where the general’s palace was!

She was panicking, holding the food box with her fingertips tightly, and was about to go back to the palace to ask her mother-in-law.As soon as her feet moved, a servant rushed to meet her, “Are you Miss Biluo? I was sent by the General’s Mansion to pick you up.” After that, he handed her his identity card to look at.

Bi Luo was stunned for a moment, obviously she did not expect that Huo Sui actually sent a carriage to have people waiting for her here. Although she said she would deliver the sour plum soup to the general’s mansion, she did not mention the time. Did he actually arrange for people to wait there all the time?Her heart softened, and an inexplicable softness and touch suddenly surged in her heart, as if at this moment, even the air around her became gentle.But this tenderness that was like a spring breeze made her feel a little at a loss, and her heart was in a mess. Reason clearly told her that she should not indulge in unnecessary thoughts, but Huo Sui’s every move always made her heart palpitate.

She lowered her eyes and pursed her lips, trying to calm herself down, at least the burning sensation in her ears would quickly subside.Her heart seemed to be pulled involuntarily, and she fell into endless confusion. Can she really let go of distracting thoughts like the empress said?

“Girl?” The boy called her again.

Bi Luo suddenly came to her senses and said politely to his forehead, “Please lead the way.”

Outside the General’s Mansion, the alleyway is wide, far away from the busy city, and is located beside the path paved with bluestones. The pine and cypress trees stand silently, and the sunlight casts mottled light and shadow through the branches and leaves. It has a unique elegance and is completely incompatible with his image as a military general.

Upon entering the mansion, the courtyard is vast and the corridors with carved beams and painted buildings are winding.But the huge garden was not filled with flowers and flowers like those in the homes of dignitaries. There was only a courtyard overgrown with wild trees and vines, which showed that the owner of this mansion was not a person who loved to appreciate flowers.

The servant took Bi Luo outside the study and left. She adjusted her breathing a little and freed her hands to straighten her appearance. Then she raised her hand anxiously and knocked on the door.As soon as she knocked twice, there was a slight cough inside, and then Huo Sui’s calm and pleasant voice came into her ears, “Come in.”

The door of the study room was slowly opened, and Huo Sui looked at the military book in his hand with a slightly uneasy expression behind the desk. He didn’t react much when Bi Luo pushed the door open and didn’t even raise his eyebrows.

Bi Luo walked up to the case with the food box, saluted him, and then took out the still warm sour plum soup and put it aside. Seeing that he was still reading seriously, she didn’t want to disturb him, but she couldn’t help but said, “General, you… took your book upside down.”

He was startled, put down the military book in his hand with a normal expression, and then turned his attention to the bowl of sour plum soup with a faint fragrance.After looking at it twice, Huo Sui finally picked up the bowl of sour plum soup, took a spoonful and put it into his mouth to taste it carefully.

He never liked sweet and sour food, but after catching a glimpse of the hope in her eyes, he took the spoon and put the soup into his mouth without any hesitation.The fragrance of cinnamon lingers between the teeth, sour and sweet, moist but not greasy. It is a taste I don’t like at first, but now I feel it has a long aftertaste.He lowered his head and drank it slowly, as if he was not tasting the soup, but responding to her wishes.

Huo Sui put down the empty bowl and pondered for a moment, his tone clumsy but serious, “It tastes so good, I’m afraid the royal chef in the palace can’t make it taste like you.” He raised his eyes to look at her, his fiery eyes met her slightly dodgy eyes, and even his voice became a little deeper, “In the future, are you willing to cook for me more often?”

There was no trace of amusement in those eyes, they were as clear as water, quietly reflecting her reddish cheeks.His words obviously meant something, as if he was implicitly asking her if she would be willing to wash her hands and make soup for him in the future.

Seeing that she was still silent, Huo Sui couldn’t help but feel a little restless.It was as if he was afraid that if he didn’t say his words more plainly, the person in front of him would really pretend to be stupid.He stepped forward, placed his hands on both sides of the table, trapped the petite woman in his arms, and moved closer inch by inch, leaving her in his arms with no way to retreat.

The moment she was trapped in his arms, Bi Luo was stunned, her back tensed unconsciously, like a deer that was suddenly disturbed, and a touch of uneasiness and panic appeared in her eyes.She pursed her lips and subconsciously wanted to avoid his burning gaze, but found that she had nowhere to escape.

“Huo, General Huo…you, you…” Her voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible, but it trembled even more under his silent gaze.

A trace of helplessness seemed to flash across Huo Sui’s brows, and he sighed softly, as if there was nothing he could do about the person in front of him. The long-suppressed emotion in his heart was finally torn away, “What about me, huh?” His tone was low and hoarse, but like spring thunder, every word fell into her heart, “If what I said before is not clear enough, I will tell you again today.”

“I, Huo Sui, am delighted with you.” His voice was low, as if he was opening up the affection that had been buried for a long time. “It has nothing to do with your status, and I don’t care what other people say. I can’t explain what I like about you. I just know that every time I see you, my heart will be filled with joy. When I see you frown, my heart will also become unhappy. I want to see you smile, watch the lanterns with you, taste all kinds of flavors, and grow old with you.”

He paused and looked down into her eyes. There was a trace of unconcealable nervousness and anxiety in his eyes, as if he was just one step away from retreating.”I’m not good at talking about love, so I will only approach you in this clumsy way. But everything I just said was true to my heart, and there was no lie in it.” He leaned forward slightly, and his breath was close to her ear, as warm as the night wind blowing over the water. “I, Huo Sui, want to marry you, Bi Luo, to be my only wife. Are you… willing?”

Bi Luo stared at him blankly, as if she had never expected that he would say such words.At that moment, I felt a mixture of emotions in my heart, as if something had gently touched the softest place.Her lips were slightly opened, but she couldn’t say a word. She could only feel her heart beating frighteningly fast, as if her whole heart was held in the palm of his hand by his words.

It was not that she was unaware of Huo Sui’s affection for her, but she never dared to think that he would say “marry her as his wife” to her so solemnly and seriously.Her eyes were slightly hot, and the tip of her nose was sour. She wanted to laugh, but she couldn’t help but burst into tears.She lowered her head and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito’s moan, “I am of low status and I don’t even know how to be a good matron of a household. Marrying me will not be of any benefit to the general.”

For a person of Huo Sui’s status, all the trivial matters at home will be left to the mistress to take care of. However, she is just a palace maid and cannot reach the level of elegance. How can she become his wife?As time goes by, will he really not get tired of being so stupid that he can’t even do his duties as a mistress?What would happen if it were both of them?Will they get to the point where they hate each other?

“If there is no love between two people, what’s the use of having a high status?” Huo Sui frowned, raised his hand to gently hold her face, wiped away the moisture from the corner of her eyes with his thumb, and said more firmly, “No matter how high the status of a noble girl from a noble family is, it’s useless for me to look down on her. I, Huo Sui, married a happy wife, not a bookkeeper. I don’t need her to be able to manage the house. It’s enough for her to live happily after marrying me.”

Bi Luo stared at him blankly, his hot and careful eyes filled with tears, and called him softly in disbelief, “General Huo…”

Huo Sui raised his eyebrows slightly, and seeing her tearful eyes, he felt a little teasing in his heart, “You have never called me by my name, so don’t call me general from now on.”

Bi Luo’s cheeks were slightly red, and she felt a little embarrassed when she saw the evil look on the man’s eyebrows in front of her, but found that she… couldn’t push him away anymore.

“You can only look back at your past life five hundred times in exchange for one chance to rub shoulders.”

The words that her mother-in-law said to her suddenly appeared in her mind. She had to look back five hundred times just by rubbing shoulders. So…how many times do they need to look back now?

“Bi Luo.” The man’s voice was a little gentle and coaxing, and he whispered: “Call my name.”

She raised her eyes to look at him, and for the first time she had the idea of getting closer to him.She must have liked him very much in her previous life. She looked back at him countless times before she gained Huo Sui’s liking.

“Huo… Sui.”

This time, she wanted to be a little braver.

“My…heart is pleased with you.”
