【Kuan Xin】Snake and Venom

Yuan Zhongxin slowly opened his eyes. With the help of the dim and flickering firelight, he was not surprised to see Wang Kuan staring at him for a moment. He blinked blankly: "What are you looking at me for?"

The corner of Wang Kuan's mouth outlined a slight arc, and he leaned closer, with a low voice: "What did my father say to you?"

Yuan Zhongxin raised his hand and rubbed his neck, and said subconsciously: "What did he say...how do I know?" Suddenly feeling something was wrong, Yuan Zhongxin immediately changed his topic, intending to pretend to be stupid: "I I haven't spoken to your father yet."

Wang Kuan raised his eyebrows, and looked at Yuan Zhongxin with interest, without saying a word, his eyes were deep and heavy.

Yuan Zhongxin's heart thumped slightly, he curled his lips sullenly, and replied angrily: "He said that I am good-looking, fascinated you, and wished us two to go on forever, are you satisfied?"

The smile between Wang Kuan's eyebrows deepened, and he squinted: "No more?"

Yuan Zhongxin replied with a serious face: "No more."

Wang Kuan's eyes flickered, and he leaned over and lingered on Yuan Zhongxin's lips. The tip of his tongue was sometimes deep and sometimes shallow, constantly teasing, and the tendency to invade was self-evident.

Suddenly, Yuan Zhongxin only felt a slight pain in the corner of his mouth, and the tip of his tongue touched the corner of his lips, tasted a trace of blood and rust, he frowned slightly, he vomited blood for the past few days made him very dislike this taste, but before he raised his Wiping it with his hand, Wang Kuan has already licked off all the little blood.

The wound on the lip was extremely small, but in the blink of an eye, there was no trace of blood left.

Wang Kuan rolled the blood into the tip of his tongue and swallowed it madly into his stomach. The blend of blood and water caused his soul to tremble. While sucking on his lips and tongue, he murmured inarticulately: "Zhong Xin, I have been waiting."

Yuan Zhongxin was dazed by the kiss, and asked in a daze, "What are you waiting for?"

Wang Kuan's eyes deepened, and under the water, there was gloom: "Wait until you take the initiative to tell me the truth."

Yuan Zhongxin was startled, raised his hands to put Wang Kuan's shoulders, looked at him hesitantly, hesitated to speak.

Wang Kuan smiled softly, and placed a light kiss on Yuan Zhongxin's eyebrows, his eyes sinking: "Don't be afraid, you don't want to say it now, I won't force you—you once said you would never hide it again." Anything about me, I will believe in this sentence for the rest of my life."

"I also said that my time is all yours. I am willing to wait until one day you are willing to speak, and you can see me just by turning around."

"I didn't say that to force you, I just want you to know that there are so many disasters in this world, you don't have to bear it alone, you still have me."

Wang Kuan's words made Yuan Zhongxin's psychological defense almost collapsed. Everything he had dealt with in the past few days made him physically and mentally exhausted. At this moment, the words buried deep in his heart almost blurted out. He really wanted to tell Wang Kuan his overall plan, he really wanted to tell Wang Kuan that he was half dead, and he really wanted to tell Wang Kuan how tired he was.

But Yuan Zhongxin couldn't speak, and he swallowed thousands of words, like swallowing a thousand sharp knives, his heart was cut like a knife, and his internal organs were burned.

Yuan Zhongxin bit the tip of his tongue, the slightest pain brought him back to his senses, he stretched out his hand to wrap around Wang Kuan's slender and long Yubai neck, resting his chin on his shoulder, Yuan Zhongxin's voice trembled slightly: "Wang Kuan, I will tell you Yours, I will, but now is not the time, I can't say..."

Wang Kuan felt that Yuan Zhongxin's mental state was extremely poor at this time, and the negative emotions he tried his best to suppress broke through the cage and swept Yuan Zhongxin like a wave. Wang Kuan was so heartbroken that he hugged Yuan Zhongxin into his arms Whispered and comforted again and again: "Okay, then don't say it, don't be sad, okay?"

After a long time, under Wang Kuan's patient comfort, Yuan Zhongxin's mood gradually stabilized. He nestled in Wang Kuan's arms, and suddenly said, "Wang Kuan, I have something I want to give you."

Wang Kuan's eyes brightened slightly: "What is it?"

Yuan Zhongxin sat up straight, blinked his clear and bright eyes, and said with a slight warning: "Let me explain in advance, this is not a valuable thing, you can't dislike it, I have to give it to you, you must accept it."

Wang Kuan pursed his lips and smiled lowly: "I want what you give, I'm too late to be happy, how could I dislike it?"

Yuan Zhongxin smacked his lips, stretched out his hand and untied the jade pendant chain around his neck, and put it into Wang Kuan's palm seriously. He said solemnly, "Take good care of this jade chain, and treat it as ours." It's a token of love."

Wang Kuan was holding the jade chain in a daze, unable to recover for a long time, he was ecstatic in his heart, but he was so stunned that he didn't know how to react.

Yuan Zhongxin squinted his eyes: "Why, if you don't want to, then I can take it back." As soon as he finished speaking, he made a gesture to take back the jade chain.

Wang Kuan immediately held the jade chain tightly in his hand, refusing to let go. He hastily said, "Yes! I am willing! You can't take it back!"

Seeing his nervous reaction, Yuan Zhongxin pursed his lips and snickered contentedly.

Wang Kuan looked at the jade chain carefully, the jade pendant was in the shape of a raindrop, the body of the jade was transparent and clear, dyed with a touch of yellow, the texture was cool and smooth, he said suddenly: "This is not a token of love between the two of us. "

Yuan Zhongxin gritted his teeth in displeasure, and said in a bad tone, "What did you say?"

Wang Kuan kept smiling, and he explained: "On the Lantern Festival, the lantern I won for you is the token of love, and this jade chain..." He paused and looked at Yuan Zhongxin's hand. There is endless tenderness and lingering in the eyes: "It is our engagement token."

Yuan Zhongxin blinked quickly, two blushes were dyed on his cheeks, and his heart was beating wildly. He pretended to be calm and cleared his throat: "Well, I'm hungry and I want to eat—by the way, I also want to eat something." I don't know if Zhao Jian and the others have returned."

Wang Kuan knew that Yuan Zhongxin was shy, but he didn't expose it, and suppressed a smile. Shu Lang said, "I'm back early."

Yuan Zhongxin turned to look at him suspiciously: "How do you know?"

A hint of cunning flashed in Wang Kuan's eyes, and he deliberately lowered his voice and said, "They came back when we were turbulent. At that time, you were screaming happily, and I didn't dare to stop and tell you."

Yuan Zhongxin's face turned red immediately, he grinned at someone, and rushed forward: "King! Wide! I will bite you to death!"

The next day, the six people who reunited were called to Lu Guannian's study.

Lu Guannian glanced at the six people with a smile, and asked, "You're all back, how is the three-day confinement going?"

Wei Yanei said dryly: "It's not that good, I'm bored to death."

Zhao Jian still questioned: "Headmaster, you came to us today to ask about our confinement, right?"

Lu Guannian lowered his eyes slightly, staring at the letter written in Koryo script on the table, and said, "I came to you because the Koryo envoy came to my door yesterday and gave me a letter. The letter basically said thank you, Saved his life."

The six were at a loss. When did they save the life of the Goryeo envoy?

Wang Kuan pondered for a while: "Is it about the Liehun Temple?"

Lu Guannian nodded.

Xiao Jing said puzzledly: "But the ones we rescued that day were ordinary people, didn't they all go home?"

Yuan Zhongxin recalled the situation that day: "Aren't there still five sent to the hospital?"

Lu Guannian said: "That's right, two of those five are from the Korean Mission."

Xue Ying was puzzled: "Why did the two of them go to the Liehun Temple? Didn't they say they were waiting at the Kaifeng city gate?"

Lu Guannian shrugged his shoulders to show that he didn't know.

Wei Yanei crossed his arms, not knowing why: "We have received their thanks, and then, what are we going to do?"

Lu Guannian cast his eyes on Xiao Jing who was obediently standing beside Zhao Jian, and after pondering for a while, he said, "The people from the Korean Mission want to see you, but more precisely, the person they want to see is Xiao Jing."

Xiao Jing slightly widened his eyes, puzzled: "You want to see me, why?"

Lu Guannian said pointedly: "Student Xiaojing, have you forgotten what your real identity is?"

As soon as these words came out, the six people suddenly realized that Xiaojing was not from the Song Dynasty, but a survivor from Bohai Sea. In terms of blood origin, she should be of the same clan as Gaoli.

According to Lu Guannian's instructions, the six people came to the Koryo Station together. Yuan Zhongxin handed over the official letter given by Lu Guannian to the officers and soldiers guarding the gate for inspection. Just as he was about to enter, Xiaojing stopped outside the threshold, his brows were tightly frowned, and his eyes were closed. Hesitant.

Zhao Jian naturally understood Xiao Jing's worries. She put her arms around Xiao Jing's shoulders and comforted her softly: "Xiao Jing, it's okay, we are all here, no one can bully you."

Xiao Jing bit her lip, feeling uneasy, raised her eyes to look at the five people around her, and then felt a little relieved, and let Zhao Jian lead her into the post house.

Yuan Zhongxin just wanted to explain his intentions to the officers and soldiers at the visitor registration office. One of them was wearing a vermilion official robe.The unremarkable man greeted him, bowed slightly, and smiled lightly: "Are you all here to see the Korean mission?"

Yuan Zhongxin looked at him, nodded and asked, "Who are you?"

The man introduced himself: "Su Ying, the next official, is the interpreter appointed by the Holy Majesty. The mission has been waiting for a long time. Please follow me."

The six followed Su Ying up to the third floor, and came to a room at the corner. Su Ying pushed the door, but stood sideways outside the door, not intending to go in. Six people go in—there are many people in the envoy group who can speak the official dialect of Song Dynasty, so you don’t have to worry about not being able to understand what they are saying.”

Yuan Zhongxin and Wang Broadband headed in. There were three people standing in the teahouse on the right, and three people sitting. Among the six people on the other side, there was an elderly man who looked quite old, and a beautiful and charming woman. The girl and the four middle-aged men, who should be bodyguards, were all wearing traditional Goryeo costumes. When they saw Yuan Zhongxin and the others, the three of them immediately got up and bowed.

Yuan Zhongxin and the others looked at each other silently, and also bowed in return.

Among the four middle-aged men, Xiao Jing recognized one of them. The man's forehead was still wrapped with a thin white gauze, but his face was serious, without anger or prestige.

On the contrary, it was the girl, Xiaojing looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her before.

After that, the room was completely silent, both sides were looking at each other.

The kind-faced old man was the first to speak, his voice was calm and round, without the slightest accent: "You should be the ones who rescued my lady and the guards in the Liehun Temple that day. I am here, and I would like to thank you again. If you don't You, the two of them are probably already dead."

Xiao Jing blinked, and said rather strangely: "Old man, did you remember wrongly, the people who were sent to the hospital that day were all men, how could there be your lady?"

The old man smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "That's right, the boy whose leg was pierced by a sharp wood that day is our young lady."

Hearing this, the six of them cast their gazes at the pretty and lovely girl at the same time, staring blankly for a moment.

Wei Yanei said stupidly: "So, this person is a woman disguised as a man?"

The girl squinted her eyes in dissatisfaction, with a hint of rebelliousness in her expression, he opened his lips slightly, and his accent was quite awkward: "You are a talented woman disguised as a man, I am a man!"

six people:"......"

Damn it, this low and hoarse juvenile voice.
