smile to heart

=====================

After the dinner was over, Qi finally went to the bathroom to take a shower, and then sat by the window to enjoy the cool air.

Picking up the booty from the table, looking at it carefully, I felt a little amazed in my heart: Mu Yun is really talented, and he spoke good words. After several rounds of games, he not only successfully won two pieces of smooth jade, but also gave him a cup of punishment. No wine was drunk.

It's not that he didn't think that Luo Qingchen would release the water, but after Qi Zhong thought about it carefully, the two of them didn't know each other well, so even if they released the water, it should be Mu Yun who was more humble to Luo Qingchen and the two for his cousin's sake is.After confirming the strength of his comrades-in-arms, he became even more proud.

Satisfied and sighed, Qi finally saw the red peaches that he went to pick in the Taoyuan in the afternoon on the table, guessing that Mu Yun was still awake, so he picked up a few of the reddest ones, and strolled leisurely to thank him.

Walking into the next room, the back of a person writing with a lamp behind his back caught in Qi Zhong's eyes.He approached slowly, and saw that the other party seemed to have also bathed, and the moon white coat was a little looser, sitting quietly at the low table, thinking deeply.

"Ahem, Brother Yun."

Mu Yun was still reminiscing about the past that night, and was slightly startled when he yelled so mysteriously.

Qi Zhong said sincerely: "No, look what I brought you? These peaches are sweet."

"Why did you send me?" Mu Yun put down his pen and talked to him.

Qi Zhong smiled: "Of course I thank you for your cooperation tonight."

Mu Yun pursed his lips and relaxed his mind: "It's a small matter."

"Oh... so in Mr. Yun's heart, my affairs are trivial matters?" Qi Zhong deliberately misinterpreted his meaning and pretended to be angry.

Mu Yun frowned in confusion, and explained: "No. That's not what I meant."

"Hey, no need to say more. Write your own words, I don't blame you."

"..." Mu Yun knew that he had been fooled again, so he didn't bother to pay attention to him, so he really kept silent and concentrated on writing down.

Qi Zhong sat lazily on the soft cushion beside him, and took out his notebook to read out of boredom.

Mu Yun sneaked a sneak peek at him, but was caught by coincidence, and quickly withdrew his gaze guiltily.

Qi Zhong kindly handed it to him: "Hey, do you want to see it?"

"No... I don't look at it."

"Then lend me some light."

Mu Yun obediently made room for him, so that the square lamp on the table could illuminate the pages of his book.

Nodding satisfied, Qi Zhong moved closer again, with a triumphant smile on his lips.

The mosquito incense in the room burned down for a while, Qi finally looked a little tired, covered his mouth and yawned.Seeing that the person next to him was not distracted at all, and was still concentrating on writing, Qi finally felt bored for him, and then began to grind.

It suddenly occurred to him that the prize for today's dinner was two pieces of jade, Luo Qingchen gave him one piece, and the other piece should still be with Mu Yun.The three to seven points agreed upon, even if it is ten points now, Qi finally felt that Mu Yun would not care about anything with him, but he just wanted to see if there was any difference between the two.

Then he said cunningly: "Hey, brother Yun, I want to ask you something."

"Ah."

The quick agreement made Qi Zhong feel relaxed, and he turned his head leisurely, smiling: "Tell me, how big is that thing of yours?"

"Crack-"

As if hearing something earth-shattering, Mu Yun suddenly stopped writing, and broke the pen with two fingers without paying attention.

Qi Zhong looked at his hand strangely, and asked in confusion, "What kind of broken pen is this? It's still in use, so it broke?"

Seeing that the broken tip of the pen was wet with handwriting, but Mu Yun still didn't respond, Qi Zhong hurriedly threw the notebook in his hand on the table and helped him remove the paper.

Mu Yun couldn't help but glanced at it, and happened to come across an ambiguous word in the storybook, combined with Qi Zhongcai asked an ambiguous question, and unconsciously associated it.In the blink of an eye, his eyes were shocked, and his shame burned from the neck to the whole ear, his cheeks were hot and red, and his clothes trembled slightly.

"Hey, why are you so stupid to ask you something?"

Qi Mo turned his head and saw that Mu Yun kept his head down and didn't respond for a long time. He felt strange and poked his shoulder with his hand.

Mu Yun hid sensitively, frowned tightly, swallowed, just wanted to quickly get rid of this embarrassing situation, and prevaricated: "I don't know."

Qi Zhong never noticed the burning cloud on his face, he picked his nails, and said casually: "What's wrong with this? You can just say whether it's big or not, and whether it's hard or not. Oh, and, Liang not bright……"

"Or you can just take it out and show it to me, that's fine."

Thinking that such a valuable treasure should be carried with him, so as to prevent thieves from stealing it, Qi Zhong cast his eyes on both sides of him, looking for the whereabouts of the purse.

Mu Yun closed his eyes, couldn't bear it any longer, got up quickly, flicked his sleeves, and turned his back to him: "Stop talking! It's really foul language!"

The wind with the sleeves waving, like a weak slap, gently slapped Qi Zhong's face, he could hear Mu Yun's angry tone, he felt that he was being scolded for no reason, and looked up in confusion: "I, what did I say? I just want to see your stuff..."

"You!" Mu Yun held his breath and thought about it calmly, and suddenly felt something was wrong, so he asked, "What is it?"

"It's the prize we won at the dinner party! I took it apart and looked at it, it's a shiny stone, but I don't know what yours looks like? Show me."

"That's called Yingshi!" Mu Yun blurted out hastily, his tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and he almost became dizzy and closed his eyes.

Qi Zhong was stunned for a moment, he didn't know where his anger came from, and he spoke so loudly for no reason.

Curling his lips, he snorted, "Oh! I haven't seen it before, so I don't know what it's called."

"...It's on the next table, go get it."

Mu Yun repeatedly cooled his mind and replied calmly.

"Wow, yours is really different. It's bright and round. It must be worth more."

Qi Zhong held the fluorite and looked at it carefully, feeling envious.

"This kind of fluorite is already crystal clear. It is polished from the mountain stones extracted from the natural caves in the mountains. It is coldest to cover your hands in summer." Mu Yun approached and popularized knowledge for him.

"Oh, it's because I'm ignorant...Hey, look here is the word!"

Qi Mo turned it over, and suddenly noticed a few small characters engraved on the back of the Yingshi, and he read: "cloud, scattered, water, dry... what do you mean?"

Mu Yun frowned slightly, and a trace of unnecessary worry flashed in his eyes. He said calmly, "It's nothing interesting. Since you like it, you can take it away."

"Tsk, thank you Brother Yun for giving up your love." Although he knew that he would agree, Qi Zhong was still a little surprised at his straightforwardness, and put the Yingshi back in his arms contentedly.

"Hey, Brother Yun, why are you blushing?"

Mu Yun avoided his gaze and said nervously, "It's hot, it's too hot."

"Well...it's autumn, is it still hot?" Qi Zhong scratched his head, a little strange.

"It's getting late, go back to your room and rest." Mu Yun didn't allow him to think too much, and hinted.

Qi Zhong followed his words and said with a smile, "Okay."

Watching him rush to the door, Mu Yun shouted again: "Wait a minute."

Qi Zhong turned around at a loss, and jokingly said, "Huh? Can't bear to let me go?"

Mu Yun snorted softly, threw the scriptbook on the table back into his hand, and blinked: "Take it away."

"Oh, my baby, I almost forgot to take it. Thank you, Brother Yun."

Qi Zhong had a playful smile on his face, and said to himself, hum, I don't even want to lend it to you for nothing, I really don't understand the style.

"Senior Brother Naluo, let's say goodbye here. Thank you for your hospitality these days."

Outside the gate of Huayue Mountain Villa, everyone is about to leave.Qi Zhong thanked Luo Qingchen first, and felt a little guilty in his heart, after all, he and Feng Mei accidentally destroyed his secret room that day.

Luo Qingchen had long since found out that the two of them did good deeds, but because it was not good to confront Feng Mei directly, he could only hold back his anger, and said with a smirk: "Whatever the younger brother said, they are all acquaintances, so there is no need to see outsiders."

"Yeah. Brother Luo is really a good man." Qi Zhong flattered him again, and signaled Tang Xun with his eyes not to stand dumbly by the side, but came over to express his gratitude tactfully.

It's not that Feng Mei didn't understand what he meant, she snorted coldly and ignored it.

Luo Qingchen smiled but didn't smile, secretly unhappy with Feng Mei's arrogance.

Then he turned to Qi Zhong and said kindly, "Junior Qi, see you in the future, I hope you can still call me Senior Brother."

Fang Yanxiao heard the sarcasm in his tone, gave him a cold look, and motioned him to speak carefully.

"It's easy to say, easy to say. When you go back to Changting, let alone me, hundreds of people will call you senior brother."

Qi Zhong misunderstood that he missed the teacher and had no time to go back, and felt that he was looking for the teacher here, so he cooperated with him and said a few words of relief.

Luo Qingchen was taken aback for a moment, then nodded with a smile without saying a word.

Everyone bid farewell one by one, and was about to turn around and leave.Mu Xi, who was silent at the side, finally couldn't help but speak out, and stepped forward to grab Mu Yun's shoulder.

His eyes were helpless and reluctant: "Jingyao..."

Mu Yun seemed to sense his heavy heart, and was about to ask more questions.Luo Qingchen, who was behind him, walked up and threatened secretly: "Hey, is there any farewell left to say? Why don't you leave today, and go to the villa for lunch together..."

Mu Xi was disheartened, her palms were slightly cold, she hung down weakly, and said with a smile, "No need. I don't have anything important to say."

"Cousin, why don't you go with us." Mu Yun noticed that there was something in the two's words, and he was quick to wit, and asked to stay.

Luo Qingchen frowned displeased, secretly murderous.

Mu Xi hesitated for a while, then refused cruelly: "Jing Yao... Take care."

Patting him on the shoulder, Mu Xi strayed away and stood beside Luo Qingchen again, without further words.

Mu Yunning lowered her eyebrows, feeling faintly angry in her heart, but there was nothing she could do.Firstly, he has no evidence to say that Luo Qingchen is a bad person, secondly, he has no way to question the reason for his brother's stay, and thirdly, when the mission deadline is coming to an end, he must distinguish the priorities.

……

Outside the city of Cangzhou, farmers have finished harvesting the rice, leaving only bare rice piles and straw in the paddy fields.

The colorful light of the sunset gathers the end of late summer and exudes the coolness of early autumn.The evening breeze carries the lingering fragrance of rice leaves, and sneaks into the breath.

Qi Zhong couldn't help slowing down, carefully feeling the rare tranquility.

He laughed and said: "This Daoxiang wine is also delicious, but Nanchuan Building does not make it, otherwise I would have to drink a few cups before leaving. Haha."

"I've stayed in Cangzhou for so long these days, and it's not because you are greedy for food and fun. You're out of the city, and you still want to drink." Min Zhi clasped his hands and habitually reprimanded him.

Qi was finally unhappy, and retorted: "Anyway, there are no clues, and wherever you go, you're just wandering around, and it's the same if you play for a few more days."

Mu Yun sighed softly, and said with hidden worries: "Go further south, and you will soon reach the territory of Jihai. If you still don't find it, you can only return with guilt."

The voice was not loud, and only Qi Zhong heard it. He paused, slowed down, moved to Mu Yun's side, and whispered comfortingly: "Hey, brother Yun, don't worry. With so many of us, we will definitely complete the task smoothly. .”

"..."

"Hey, look, Huoshaoyun!"

Without waiting for anyone to reply, Qi Zhong raised his finger and shouted in surprise.

Mu Yun looked up, the countryside was at dusk, the sky was full of red clouds, and there was a vast expanse in front of him, maybe the moment of confusion just now was just confined in his heart.
