Folding the halberd to seal the cold

"Qin Xiaoyan——Why are you shouting so loudly?" Gu Qingxi exaggeratedly pretended to dig out her ears, and protested to her dissatisfiedly: "If you shout like that, it will disturb others' enjoyment of enjoying the moon."

"I yelled so loudly..." After being reminded by him, Qin Yan felt a little impatient, and then lowered his voice a little, and continued: "Is it because of you? You blame me for disturbing others' enjoyment of watching the moon. Why don't you reflect on yourself for disturbing my pleasure of admiring the moon?" Qin Yan turned against him unwillingly.

Originally, I came out quietly because I wanted to find a place where no one would notice and stay quietly. It should be her who was disturbed for no reason, okay?

"Yaxing? Do you have the mood of admiring the moon? It's obvious that you are hiding and grieving alone."

Unexpectedly, Gu Qingxi ignored her words, but simply shook her robe, sat down carelessly beside her, and directly pierced her mind with one word.

Qin Yan was startled, but said unconvincedly: "I... How can I have it?"

"Really?" Gu Qingxi suddenly approached her face and pointed to her eyes: "Your eyes are all red, don't admit it until you cry."

His sudden movement was caught off guard, and Qin Yan could even smell the scent of rosin wood on his body.Gu Qingxi's long and narrow peach blossom eyes were looking at herself intently, so close that even the arc of her Adam's apple under her breathing could be clearly seen.

Qin Yan's heart suddenly beat a little faster, and she pushed Gu Qingxi's head away angrily: "Probably because I didn't sleep well last night——I...can't cry."

"Didn't you go to bed early when you came back from the Martial Arts Field last night? Why didn't you sleep well? Then when I saw you this morning, why were your eyes still fine?" Gu Qingxi refused to let go.

"...It might be because of the strong wind just now, which made my eyes a little dry." Qin Yan was still trying to find excuses for himself.

"It's... windy?" Gu Qingxi looked around.

The moonlight is rare tonight, and there is an occasional breeze, but it is still. The bamboo branches in the courtyard did not even shake a few times.

The light clouds in the sky moved slowly, and even the water in the pond was still.

This is very embarrassing.

Gu Qingxi sighed softly, and said after a while: "Qin Xiaoyan, is it that difficult to admit that you miss your brother?"

He said it so bluntly, without leaving Qin Yan any chance to find an excuse to cover up, and she was stunned suddenly.

"You are a girl. Now that Qin Yue is not by your side, and today is the Mid-Autumn Festival - it's normal for you to miss him, why do you force yourself to say something wrong? Are you tired of living?"

Qin Yan's shoulders trembled imperceptibly.

"I've been forcing myself to be strong and brave like a man all this time, do you think... Qin Yue wants to see you like this? If it were me, I would feel that it was my failure as a brother who didn't show you enough consideration And caring, you force yourself to grow so hard. Qin Xiaoyan, have you thought about this?"

Gu Qingxi's words hit Qin Yan's heart word by word, making her not know what to say for a while.

What he said, I really never thought of it before.

So...does it feel like this?

But could it be... is there something wrong with being strong?

A drop of tear suddenly fell on the back of his hand.

Then it seemed as if I couldn't stop after I started, one drop, two drops, three drops...the teardrops just scrambled down the face.

Qin Yan raised her hand to touch her face in a panic, trying to wipe away the tears quickly, but someone grabbed her arm forcefully.

Gu Qingxi couldn't hide the distress in her eyes anymore, and pulled her into her arms to hold her.

Qin Yan was stunned for a moment, and just when she was about to break free, she heard Gu Qingxi's low voice from above her head: "Don't move."

On weekdays, Qin Yan would definitely not be obedient, and might even punch him to cover up his shyness and panic; but at this moment, the night is as cold as water, the breeze is quiet, and Lanting Academy under the moonlight can only hear a few words. The sound of insects.Gu Qingxi's embrace was warm and generous, and an elegant pine fragrance wrapped her gently. Gu Qingxi's voice seemed to have magic power, which made her feel inexplicably at ease.

Qin Yan was really tired.

She and Qin Yue encountered misfortune when they were young, and they couldn't even piece together a complete and beautiful childhood memory. Their lives were precarious, like rootless weeds, tenacious but struggling to live.

Because that's the fate of weeds... No matter where fate takes you to take root, no matter how bad the situation is--

In order to survive, they can only absorb the pitiful little nutrients and live desperately.

No matter how fierce the storm is, we must work hard to survive.

After something happened at home that year, in order to avoid being hunted down by the court, she followed her elder brother to dodge the mud and cliffs, and was so exhausted that her feet were covered with bleeding blisters.

On the day her parents and relatives were executed, she hid in the cave and cried and begged her brother to take her back to see her parents again, even if she just got in the crowd and looked at them from afar...Because she missed this opportunity, she would never be able to live again in this life. I can't see it either.

It was Qin Yue who woke her up with a slap.

She looked at her brother who was only a head taller than her, his boyish face was covered with scars, and she closed her eyes in pain and told her: "Ayan, we have no home anymore."

The most familiar general's mansion that has raised them since they were born may never go back.

That is, from then on, Qin Yan suddenly grew up a lot overnight.

No matter how hard the days of fleeing were, she never shed a single tear.

Once, she and Qin Yue were besieged and attacked by two wild wolves in the forest. It was Qin Yue who resisted desperately. She lit a torch to drive them away, and they narrowly escaped death.

Her brother's arm was bitten to the bone. She completely disregarded the danger of wild beasts coming back, so she lit a torch and went down to the forest in the middle of the night to find medicinal materials for her brother.

The days when the two of them wandered together were precarious, and she never frowned even when she was picking up some vegetable leaves that others didn't want on the street like a beggar.

Later, when he joined the Haoqi League, his elder brother desperately wanted to make himself stronger. Every morning he would get up at the first crow of the rooster, and even before dawn, he would stage a martial arts field to practice martial arts by himself.

He was always the hardest and the first to get up, and she was right behind her brother.

Whenever he got up, Qin Yan would get up.

She didn't listen to Qin Yue's dissuasion, and imitated his example, picked up the black iron halberd, which was much taller than her, and followed her brother to practice every move seriously.

Later, Qin Yue finally had a chance to perform in battle. She also changed into a man's outfit to hide from the lord's gaze, and quietly followed her brother to fight in the camp.

A knife and a gun on the battlefield are by no means child's play, tragic and cruel, even if she is injured, she will grit her teeth and never say a word.

Even if her brother found out later and angrily reprimanded her not to follow, she would not listen at all.

Qin Yan's stubbornness finally made anyone who underestimated her as a daughter have nothing to say.

Not only no one dared to look down on her anymore, when the people in the alliance looked at her again, they mostly looked at her with admiration.

However, apart from my elder brother, no one often reminded myself - "You are a girl".

It seems... there is only Gu Qingxi.

Why...why did she accidentally cry in his arms?Is it because her brother is not around, or is it because his words have revealed the strength she has been holding on all along?

I thought I would no longer have such a feeling of complete trust in others, including this heart that is out of rhythm... What is going on?

"Is it better to cry?"

Gu Qingxi's voice came to his ears again, and Qin Yan responded sullenly: "Yes".

"I've said it a long time ago - it's no big deal for a girl to cry. Besides, there is no one else here, so I won't make fun of you. Qin Xiaoyan, what are you awkward about?" Gu Qingxi Seeing that his consolation was effective, he couldn't help being bold enough to caress Qin Yan's back, leaning his face slightly close to her shoulder.

Qin Yan didn't notice this small detail at all, just buried in his arms and forgot everything for a while.

Suddenly, there was a sound of "Zheng" from the strings in the small bamboo forest, breaking the figure of two people cuddling together.

Qin Yan hurriedly sat up straight in a panic and looked around, Gu Qingxi also coughed lightly to cover up her unnaturalness.

However, there was an infinite howl in his heart——

Who on earth is so desperate to suddenly appear here and pluck the strings? !

Under the moonlight, a person slowly came out from under the gazebo in the small bamboo forest.

Shen Lvzhi is tall and tall, dressed elegantly and noblely in a white robe with cloud patterns and light water. He has already put away the piano behind him, glanced at the two people on the roof with a calm expression, and wanted to continue passing by calmly.

Gu Qingxi rested her forehead with her hand, and couldn't help but want to draw her sword out of its sheath and compete with him——

Shen Luzhi?How long has he been here? !
