seek benevolence

9.

Xiao Huan's tone carried a hint of indifference, rather than agreeing to his request at last, it was more like driving someone away.Yu Su laughed back in anger for a moment, leaned back lazily, leaned against the head of the bed, stared at Xiao Huan with his head up, and said with a smile: "I want to go, you won't let me go, but now I don't want to go, you should Come and drive me away, the palace master is so unreasonable."

Xiao Huan was unmoved at all, and only looked back at him.For a while, only the two of them were left in the room silently.Yu Su's anger gradually dissipated, and he felt that the silent atmosphere was quite awkward. He wanted to break the deadlock, but when he was about to speak, the other side took the lead: "You go down the mountain for a while, if you still want to come later, I will The White Hart Palace is always waiting."

Xiao Huan's tone became the same calm as when they first met, as if all the unhappiness that happened before had disappeared.Yu Su's anger, which had just been extinguished a little, rose up again.He tried his best to suppress the smoldering fire in his heart, and asked in a low voice: "But the people from Qixingyan are making trouble, deliberately causing trouble?"

Xiao Huan snorted lightly: "They don't have the guts yet."

Yu Su moved, straightened up, and stared at him without blinking.If he read it correctly, when Qixingyan was mentioned, Xiao Huan's eyes indeed flashed such an unclear stream of light.While watching, the man raised his head and looked at him calmly.Yu Su looked into his eyes, and suddenly remembered the phosphorous fire that was burning in this man's eyes in that dream.His heart trembled, and the sleeve he was holding in his hand shook unconsciously, revealing half of his pale and thin wrist.

The wrist was immediately grasped.Xiao Huan's strength was great, but it wouldn't cause him pain.They were getting closer now, Xiao Huan lowered his eyelashes to look at him, his hair hung down on his shoulders, entangled with Yu Su's indistinctly.

Xiao Huan suddenly lowered his head, pressed his forehead firmly against him, breathed on each other's faces, and the hot air he exhaled while speaking hit Yu Su's ear, making his heart beat wildly again inappropriately.

Xiao Huan smiled in his ear and said, "Do you believe me?"

What do you believe?Many thoughts rushed into Yu Su's mind in a mess, he wanted to say he didn't believe it, his lips trembled but he didn't say anything.He had no choice but to tilt his head slightly away from Xiao Huan, and glanced at him questioningly, without answering.

Xiao Huan let go of his hand and let him widen the distance between the two.He sat on the side of the couch, waited for Yu Su to fix his appearance, then got up, and said: "I'll take you to a place, follow me."

Yu Su was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly lifted the quilt and was about to jump off.Fu was held down by Xiao Huan again, and threw a thick cloak from the stool to drape over his shoulders: "It's cold outside."

It got dark early in early winter, and the two of them went out one after the other, and there were patches of fresh snow in the sky.Xiao Huan held a lamp in his hand, and the candle flame flickered and danced in it. Occasionally, a few grains of snow drifted in, casting a swaying long shadow on the ground.

Yu Su didn't know where he was going, so he could only follow him every step of the way.He was secretly startled as he walked, Xiao Huan turned around in front of him, and seemed to be leading him in the direction of the back mountain around the bend - Baishou Mountain is inherently dangerous, and the plank road built on the front mountain is the only way for passers-by On the road that passes, the back mountain has never been visited by people, and the mountain is so steep that it can be said to be a natural moat.

What exactly does Xiao Huan want to do?He thought quickly in his mind, but Xiao Huan suddenly stopped in front of him, and stretched out a hand to hold his palm.He froze for a moment, and looked up at that person, Xiao Huan was looking back at him, his face still had no extra expression, but the outline was softened a bit by the light.

The next road was really difficult, Yu Su was led by Xiao Huan, his feet were deep and shallow, and sometimes he would encounter a slope with an extremely steep angle.However, Xiao Huan seemed to have gotten used to it, and it seemed effortless.They stumbled and walked for more than an hour without talking, and finally saw a flat ground somewhere hidden in the back mountain.

Yu Su raised his eyebrows in surprise, and took his palm out of Xiao Huan's hand. He watched silently as he walked forward a few steps with a lamp in his body covered in fine snow, then squatted down and wiped the ground a few times, Remove the thick layer of snow above, revealing a cellar door below.

After seeing what it was, Yu Su's heart shrank violently, and a chill ran up his spine.

Xiao Huan opened the door, and the wind whizzed in with snowflakes.He straightened up and turned his head to look at Yu Su, seeing that he was still standing still and had no intention of coming over, and he didn't urge him, just chuckled lightly, and jumped straight down under Yu Su's pale gaze.

Yu Su's hand trembled imperceptibly, and then the tremor spread from the palm of his hand to his whole body.He stepped on the snow and ran over, and saw that the cellar door was wide open, and the cold wind poured in, and it was pitch black below, and he couldn't see anything clearly.Xiao Huan's lamp was tilted to the side, and the weak candle flame was still fighting fiercely with the wind and snow.He bent down to lift it up, and called Xiao Huan's name a few times into the cellar, but no one answered.

Give up your life to accompany a gentleman.He gritted his teeth, no longer hesitated, and jumped down.
