All night

Xin Wan woke up from the heat.

The sun has already risen high. Although the seasons in Baizhi Lake are like spring and the water is cold all the year round, generally speaking, the season when lotus blooms is the hottest time of the year.The sunlight was bright and clear, coupled with the reflection of the water, the two suns in the sky and the water dazzled the newly opened eyes.

Xin Wan thought about it calmly, and thought that the main heat was not from the sun, but from the people covering her.

The sparse wooden boat had already stopped where it stopped because of drifting with the tide all night, and Lu Changying was breathing by his neck, sleeping soundly.

Xin Wan thought about the current relationship between the two very calmly, and concluded that, in fact, it had nothing to do with each other.Regardless of whether Lu Changying was out of sympathy for a trash, or was born to like to let go of herself to tease the same sex, or had other intentions, they still have nothing to do with each other.

What's more, he also promised long ago that he would never have anything to do with Lu Changying again.

So it just doesn't matter.

A long paragraph of "Related or not" made Xin Wan dizzy, he stopped his wild thoughts, turned his head to see Lu Changying's eyebrows and eyes clearly, and felt his body temperature almost touching his skin.

At this moment, he suddenly gave up the idea of ​​pushing Lu Changying away, and became greedy for the feeling of being held in his arms.This Lu Changying is so powerful, so good-looking, intact, not dead or injured, but he is no longer his.Xin Wan had a sore nose and almost burst into tears.The young man who held him tightly in his arms and was almost destroyed by the thunderbolt seemed to be someone he had known in his previous life.

Lu Changying snorted, her eyelashes fluttered, as if she was about to wake up, Xin Wan hurriedly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.Feeling that Lu Changying sat up lightly, and scratched the bridge of his nose with his fingers, the sunlight bright enough to penetrate his eyelids suddenly disappeared. He didn't open his eyes, presumably Lu Changying helped him cover them.

He didn't dare to move, and he could only hear the sound of water waves beating against the hull back and forth.Lu Changying didn't move for a long time, and then he opened one eye quietly, and saw Lu Changying stretched out his sleeve with one hand to cover his head, sitting with her long right leg up, looking sideways into the distance, and touching her behind her back. The lotus leaves in the sky are like a transparent ink painting.

Lu Changying suddenly turned her head, met his eyes, and then burst out laughing.

Xin Wan blushed and kicked him without thinking. Lu Changying looked at him with a smile and asked, "What are you doing? It's early in the morning and I don't know how to wake him up with a kiss..."

"...I still want to ask you." Xin Wan said, "What are you doing?"

Lu Changying yawned, and said: "It was dark when I went outside Tianlan Book Pavilion last night. Seeing that you were sound asleep, I guess the people inside were also fast asleep. Besides, there were still wounded, so there was no loud noise. I was worried that you would catch the cold at night, so I stayed here to sleep with you..." He looked like "I'm so gentle and considerate", Xin Wan rolled her eyes, sat up and washed her face, to wake up Looking around, he was slightly surprised. He had been playing in Baizhize since he was a child. Although this water area is vast, he knew it well. Although the area in front of him is not lost, the number of times he has been here is Very few.

"What's going on..." Xin Wan murmured, "It actually floated here."

Lu Changying said desperately, "Are you lost?"

"No!" Xin Wan said angrily, "It's just..." He scribbled a few times on the side of the boat to simulate the direction of the water flow, "It's not like I haven't fallen asleep in a boat before, but even if I drift overnight Having drifted here before, the direction of Bai Zhize's water flow suddenly changed for no reason."

He flicked a finger back and forth on the light yellow sparse wood, like it was carved from white jade, and the fingertips were condensed with a light red color, which made people feel that they would be scratched by the rough wood almost accidentally.Lu Changying never thought that the word "lively and fragrant" could be associated with a single finger, so she couldn't help staring at it, and murmured: "If it's about to be cut, I can't bear to bleed."

Xin Wan was still thinking about the direction of the water flow, but was interrupted by him inadvertently, and raised her head, not understanding what he meant.Lu Changying smiled and said: "It's not surprising, the direction of the water flow sometimes changes." As he spoke, he looked down at his fingers again, and casually pushed his arm away from the side of the boat.

Xin Wan withdrew her finger as if struck by lightning, but Lu Changying didn't take it seriously, as if the shameful act just now was not done by him at all, she rested her stomach on the back of her hand, and said slowly, "Maybe, it's Bai Zhize underwater, what has changed?" .”

Xin Wan was actually so skeptical, too many strange things had happened to Bai Zhize recently, and the old Lingao's senses seemed to have all failed, and the whole Bai Zhize was in an extremely disturbed state.The old Ling'ao should be the most sensitive to the changes in the water flow and the creatures in the water, but during this time, he seemed to be deaf and blind, and he didn't feel anything.

Lu Changying suddenly said, "Guess how the little carp got in?"

Xin Wan couldn't react a bit: "Huh?"

Lu Changying said with a smile: "Because I really doubt whether your old Lingao is really old and confused, so I let the little carp do a little experiment through the bell on the wire bracelet."

He pointed to the entrance of Bai Zhize from afar, and said: "From that entrance, the little carp found many ways, including sneaking in from the mud and swimming in from the deep water, all of which were immediately sensed by the old Lingao, and warned him to go here. You can't enter at will. This shows that the old Ling'ao's perception is still very keen."

Seeing Xin Wan's concentrated face, he smiled and said, "In the end, Qingchi went to the door to pick him up, so it's not Lingao's problem."

Xin Wan paused at the name "Qingchi", then nodded.

"Then what changes will happen underwater, enough to change the direction of the water flow, and make the old Lingao completely unaware?" Lu Changying bent her fingers and went against the flow of water, "It's better to go against the current and see."

Going upstream is physical work, Xin Wan decided to be lazy, and Lu Changying started rowing.Xin Wan picked the lotus pods leisurely all the way, picked a handful full and began to peel off, followed the edge of the lotus head to remove the cover, revealing green and tender lotus seeds, and peeled off the outer skin little by little.Lu Changying watched from the corner of her eyes, and opened her mouth cooperatively, "Ah."

Xin Wan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she had to pick up the lotus core again before throwing it into his mouth.Lu Changying said: "Aren't you going to eat the lotus core yourself?"

Xin Wan sipped a lotus seed and said, "No."

Lu Changying said, "Then I want it too."

Xin Wan was startled, and said, "Bitter."

Lu Changying said: "I don't care, I want to."

Xin Wan was helpless, so she stuffed him with a lotus seed that hadn't been cored. Lu Changying chewed it, let out a "huh", and said after a while, "It's really bitter."

Xin Wan said: "A Li likes to eat candied lotus seeds. The lotus seeds are wrapped in sugar, so the lotus core is easier to eat."

Lu Changying smiled and said, "Won't this be made more bitter by sugar?"

Xin Wan said lightly, "But the icing will be sweeter because of it."

Lu Changying smiled and said, "That's true."

The two were speechless for a moment, Lu Changying rowed the boat quietly, listening to the sound of Xin Wan peeling the lotus pods behind, the spirit altar was clear for a while, and the whole body was comfortable, and suddenly remembered that when she was young, she was learning art and practicing, and she was beaten bloody by the family law if she was careless Dripping, and what was Xin Wan doing at that time?

Most of them are doing nothing as usual, paddling the boat back and forth, lying down and looking at the sky, sitting up picking lotus, running and playing, storing grain and brewing wine... As he thought about it, the image of Xin Wan when he was a teenager came alive little by little in his mind. Seeing it personally, I couldn't help being very envious for a moment, and a sentence came out of my mouth involuntarily: "I'm still the happiest when I was in Bai Zhize."

With a trembling hand, Xin Wan peeled off half of the lotus pod, staining the hem of the light-colored shirt with mottled green.

Lu Changying patted her head: "Why didn't you stop, come a few more."

Xin Wan sighed imperceptibly, shook her head, passed a lotus seed over, and said in a calm voice, "I'm from the back mountain, but I'm just a guest in the front.... Half a volume of Drunk Dance Jingge..." [Note] and Stopped.

Lu Changying said: "Sounds interesting, what's next."

Xin Wan didn't speak any more, and handed over another lotus seed.Lu Changying turned her face sideways and leaned closer, her cheek barely brushed against his finger, she was slightly taken aback, and said, "Wait." She sucked a lotus seed in her mouth, and rubbed his fingertip with her lips.

Xin Wan took it back angrily, and said, "Lu Changying, it's fine if you look down on me as a trash, you think I won't get angry, or if you get angry, there's nothing you can do about it, as long as we don't have anything to do in the future, but if you want to make friends with me , you should be frank and sincere, always playing and teasing like this, what's the point?"

Lu Changying didn't answer, grabbed his hand to feel his pulse, came over to touch his forehead, and said in a deep voice, "You have a fever, don't you feel it?"

Xin Wan was stunned for a moment, and said, "It's okay..." He just got a fever at this moment, and he only thought it was near noon that he felt hot.

Lu Changying started to turn the bow of the boat, and said: "No, you are not a cultivator who is immune to cold and heat, and doesn't matter if you don't look at the countercurrent, go back and take a rest first."

Xin Wan said: "It's almost here, it's not easy to get here..."

Lu Changying turned a deaf ear to it, and finally stopped what she was doing. Anyway, even if she drifted with the tide, the boat would return the same way.He lifted the paddle out of the water, Xin Wan's eyes widened suddenly, and she threw herself into his arms.Lu Changying smiled and said, "What are you doing, suddenly showing yourself..." His voice stopped abruptly.

Climbing up with the oars was a black ice green snake, he was not on guard, the green snake smelled the breath on Xin Wan's body and did not dare to move rashly, but it was already dehydrated when it left the water, and it was fierce before it died. Attacked, the sharp teeth bit Xin Wan's shoulder recklessly, twisted a few times, and then froze.
