"marry" to your nemesis

Tang Xiao didn't react for a long time.

But when she realized it, Feng Ling had turned her back and started to learn how to make candied haws from the old man.

Everything is like a dream, never happened.

Tang Xiao stared at Feng Ling's back, trying to find some clues.

But the thin and straight back was as clean as a scabbard, without any traces.

"Do you want to come to study together?" Feng Ling turned around and asked Tang Xiao.

Tang Xiao thought about it carefully, then nodded.

On that day, Tang Xiao thought that he and Feng Ling would go to Li's house together.

But what she didn't expect was that from early morning to afternoon, the two of them followed the old man, repeating the process of making candied haws again and again.

The already small place became extraordinarily small because of the appearance of Tang Xiao and Feng Ling.Their breaths are entangled with each other, making it difficult to distinguish them.Coupled with the aroma of candied haws, it actually filled the sunny afternoon with sweetness.

"Successful!" Tang Xiao finally managed to wrap a thin layer of sugar on the outside of the hawthorn after he didn't know how many times he tried.

The burnt brown icing, under the refraction of the sun, has a little unreal beauty.

On Tang Xiao's face, there was a joyous smile that rarely appeared for a long time.

But she didn't realize it, she was completely immersed in the joy of making candied haws.

On the other side, Feng Ling, who had already successfully made candied haws, silently put the finished product she had already made behind her.

Then she stared at Tang Xiaohuan's happy appearance, and couldn't help but curled up the corners of her lips, showing a smile.

The afternoon sun was just right and the wind was gentle.

Everything is so beautiful.

After Feng Ling left a bag of silver for the old man, she and Tang Xiao gathered all the prepared candied haws and left there.

"What are you going to do with these candied haws?" Tang Xiao held the candied haws he made in his hands, but glanced at those in Feng Ling's hands from time to time.

It's not that Tang Xiao is greedy, but she is a little curious. Since Feng Ling doesn't like candied haws, she took so many, what will she do with them in the end...

"Do you like it?" Feng Ling looked at Tang Xiao.

With candied haws in his mouth, Tang Xiao looked up at Feng Ling in a daze.

Against the light, she couldn't see Feng Ling's appearance clearly.However, she clearly heard Feng Ling's voice, which fell into her ears.

Some tender, some unreal.

"If you like, these are for you..."

Feng Ling's hand obviously stretched out in front of Tang Xiao,?Tang Xiao also stretched out his hand.

But at the moment when she was about to take the things over, she hesitated, her hands froze in the air, and she didn't make a gesture for a long time.

"Forget it..." Tang Xiao turned his head, avoiding Feng Ling's gaze, and said, "I don't like these things, even if they were given to me, I wouldn't be able to eat them."

Feng Ling didn't say much, nodded, and silently put the things back.

And her calm reaction made Tang Xiao feel uneasy.

She said, "By the way, when are we going to pick up the things?"

"I can go alone."

"No!" Tang Xiao resolutely said, "The eldest princess said, let us go together."

This time, Feng Ling did not speak.

And the long silence made Tang Xiao feel uneasy.

What is it that makes Feng Ling unwilling to take her along?

"Are you hiding something from me?" Tang Xiao blurted out.

Feng Ling took a deep look at Tang Xiao, but didn't answer.

"Tell me, are you hiding something from me!"

This time Feng Ling's silence made Tang Xiao completely anxious.

Feng Ling didn't explain, but after pursing her lips, she said lightly, "Go back to the inn and talk about it."

After she finished speaking, she opened her long legs and walked slowly towards the inn.

As a result, she hadn't taken a few steps when she heard hurried footsteps coming from behind.

Then before Feng Ling could react, she felt her wrist tighten and she was taken out.

Tang Xiao held Feng Ling's hand, and quickly ran towards the inn. The wind blew by and lifted her hair.

The hair brushed gently across Feng Ling's cheeks, the gentle touch made people feel a little dazed.

And the fragrance of syrup left on the hair made Feng Ling's mouth open.

Such a bright smile swept away his past gloomyness.

At that moment, she felt as if she suddenly came alive?

Break free from that quagmire-like life, and finally live a sober and fresh life.

After returning to the inn, Tang Xiao dragged Feng Ling to her room without saying a word.

As soon as the door closed, Tang Xiao pushed Feng Ling into a corner, and then supported the wall with both hands, directly blocking Feng Ling's possible escape route.

"Let's talk!" Tang Xiao's breath hadn't calmed down yet, panting heavily, she looked up at Feng Ling and asked for an explanation.

Feng Ling was a little dumbfounded.

She didn't say a word, but raised her hand silently, then raised her sleeve, and gently wiped Tang Xiao's forehead.

Tang Xiao never dared to imagine such a scene.

And this weird behavior made Tang Xiao a little nervous.

In a daze, she quickly withdrew her hand.

Then he even took a step back, putting some distance away from Feng Ling.

She looked at Feng Ling cautiously and said, "Stop being so hypocritical, okay?"

Feng Ling's movements froze, and even the expression on her face became a little embarrassed.

But in the face of such a provocation, she was extraordinarily calm.

She lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then looked at Tang Xiao, as if nothing had happened.

She said, "When you asked Li Xiao to take the Li family away, didn't you already guess the purpose of the eldest princess? I won't let you go because I don't want you to face all that."

Feng Ling spoke very calmly, but her words were like the coldest wind in winter, icy cold, making people tremble uncontrollably.

"So... the eldest princess ordered you to fetch things, is it their life?" Tang Xiao's voice was so small that he could hardly hear it.

Feng Ling pursed her lips, stretched out her hand and patted Tang Xiao's shoulder lightly.

She said, "I can go alone, and stay at—"

"I want you to answer me! Is our mission this time to take their lives?" Tang Xiao suddenly turned up the volume, she raised her head, and looked at Feng Ling with burning eyes.

Feng Ling paused, then nodded, and answered in a muffled voice, "Yes."

For a moment Tang Xiao was like a bolt from the blue.

Although she had guessed in her heart for a long time, but now when she faced it directly, she still didn't know what to do...

"Don't kill them, can't you?"

"Yes!" Feng Ling replied without hesitation, as if she had already thought of such an answer, "I will let them go, and then go back to report alone."

"what about me?"

"You leave here, don't go back to Yuyang City."

"No!" Tang laughed and immediately vetoed, "Ayao is still in Yuyang City, I can't just leave her behind!"

When mentioning that person, Feng Ling's eyes darkened.

"Are you willing to sacrifice everyone in the Li family for her?"

Do not!of course not!

But let Tang Xiao watch Li Xiao and his family die like this...

She can't do it, she can't do it at all!

At this time, Feng Ling glanced at the sky outside the window.

The sun was setting, and it was already sunset.

She withdrew her gaze and looked at Tang Xiao again, "You don't have much time left to choose."

"Can't we really let them go? They have already left Yuyang City and are already living in Qingcheng. Why do we have to kill them all!"

"...Because of Li Xiao, he shouldn't be too busy."

"What's the matter?" After being told by Feng Ling, Tang Xiao became even more curious.

But thinking about it carefully, Tang Xiao suddenly remembered something, "Are you referring to the killing of the young prince, or the death of Prince Ping He?"

Speaking of these things, Feng Ling frowned slightly, and said decisively, "These have nothing to do with you!"

"It doesn't matter?" Tang Xiao seemed to have heard some big joke, "I was imprisoned for these two things at the beginning, and I stayed there for a long time, so it has nothing to do with me!"

Hearing this, Feng Ling narrowed her eyes and looked Tang Xiao up and down.

That look made Tang Xiao aware of the danger.

And at this moment, she saw Feng Ling curled her lips and said with a slight smile, "So...you admit it, are you Tang Xiao?"

As soon as these words came out, Tang Xiao felt a bolt from the blue.

Unexpectedly, after all, she did not escape her temptation...

And just when Tang Xiao was in a daze, Feng Ling looked out the window again.

This is when the sky has darkened and the night is filling the air.

"I should go." Feng Ling said.

While speaking, she was about to turn around.As a result, her wrist tightened, and she stopped.

Turning his head to look, he met Shang Tang Xiao's innocent and sincere eyes.

Feng Ling knew what she wanted to say, and finally sighed heavily, "You still have one last choice."

"What... what?" Tang Xiao now, his heart is full of Li Xiao's affairs, you make me want to take care of my identity.

Hearing Feng Ling's words at this time, she pinned all her hopes on Feng Ling.

However, she heard Feng Ling say, "Kill me!"

Tang Xiao was shocked, and he couldn't help but let go of Feng Ling's hand.

"Do you even know what you're talking about!"

"I know." Feng Ling said with certainty, "If we want to save their family, we can only keep one of them. Either I stay and say you saved their family. Or you stay and say I saved them. lost their family..."

"But you just let me go before, but why did you ask me to kill you when it was your turn!"

"Because..." Feng Ling looked at Tang Xiao's eyes with tenderness and affection, "Because if you don't bring something back, the eldest princess will still not believe you."

She looked at Tang Xiao, concentrating all the tenderness in her life at this moment.

She said, "I don't know why you still want to stay in Yuyang City, beside the eldest princess. But if you really want to gain her trust, your hands will definitely be stained with blood——" Like, me."
