Xianmen does not ask about the mundane

After the two left from the National Teacher's Mansion, they left Fu'an City quickly by luck. They planned to find an inn in Jiangzhou City next door to have a good rest for the night, and then continue on their way tomorrow.

Zhu Lingyu saw that Qiu Yan seemed to be a little absent-minded along the way, and after entering Jiangzhou City, he slowed down and asked, "What are you thinking? I didn't have much to say along the way. Are you reluctant to part with the teacher again?"

Qiu Yan shook his head slightly and said, "No, I am very relieved to see that the teacher is in good health. I just suddenly don't know how to treat you."

His words were endless, Zhu Lingyu didn't quite understand what he meant: "How did you treat me?"

Qiu Yan said: "Because senior brother is really kind, but there is nothing I can do for you."

Zhu Lingyu couldn't help but pause.

Because of his special status as the nephew of the head of the Xuanqingshan School, Zhu Lingyu has received more attention than others since he was a child. No matter where he goes, he will inevitably have some interpersonal communication with others. In the end, he will also follow behind to deal with various scenes, so he never lacks high-sounding scenes to say.

He has a set of hypocritical polite words, and he can say any kind of nonsense when he needs it. The words "not good at words" basically have nothing to do with him. It can even be said that he is quite good at talking, but When it comes to asking him to express his feelings honestly, he is extremely awkward.

For example, when saying thank you, Zhu Lingyu will definitely say "thank you" instead of "thank you".Apologizing simply admits that you were wrong, not saying "I'm sorry". It is impossible to say something like "like" in front of people in this life. When you get along with Qiu Yan, even if you think he is too cute in your heart, you will never say a word, even if it is simply "You are so kind." "Such words would make him feel quite uncomfortable.

He couldn't say these words himself, and he couldn't listen to others.So every time Qiu Yan said some stupid things to him, and sometimes forced him to say the same in different ways, it always made him feel itchy and embarrassed, and he just wanted to run away.

At first, Zhu Lingyu was always confused by Qiu Yan's eyes, and couldn't bear to let his sincerity fail, and worried that he might be testing himself as a joke, and if he avoided it, he might make him think too much, so Every time, I will listen to him patiently, and turn around to say what he wants to hear without feeling too embarrassing.

After a long time, Zhu Lingyu found that he was just making fun of himself, so he stopped worrying so much, and began to selectively ignore what he said, or simply change the topic directly.

But his habit is only limited to when Qiu Yan teases him indecently. Once Qiu Yan speaks his heart to him seriously, Zhu Lingyu will still be embarrassed, and at this time he has no way to avoid it.

Zhu Lingyu looked at Qiu Yan's eyes that were unusually clear under the moonlight, thinking that I didn't do anything, why do you think I'm fine.Besides, you are not only my junior brother, but also... Shouldn't I be nice to you?

But he only thought so in his heart, and he would never say it out of his mouth.He knew that once he said that, Qiu Yan would definitely tell him one by one what he thought was good about him, or that he was good in everything, and would keep asking himself what was his, and he would be even more unable to answer when the time came. up.

So Zhu Lingyu pretended to be understated and said: "If I don't treat you well, who else can I treat you well. I don't need you to do anything, as long as you are in danger, don't rush forward alone, save your little life and live well." Stay with me all the time, even if you can forgive me."

In front of others, Zhu Lingyu may be considered a fine individual, acting like anything, but in front of Qiu Yan, his acting skills are extremely clumsy.Qiu Yan saw through his small thoughts at a glance, looked at him and smiled faintly, leaned forward and hugged him without trying to expose him.

Zhu Lingyu didn't know if he had passed the test, so he habitually reached out to catch him and hug him.

Qiu Yan rubbed against his shoulder.

"Brother."

"Ok?"

"Brother."

"what happened?"

"You call me."

"...Ayan."

After a while, Qiu Yan said lazily, "I'm sleepy."

"Then if you don't let go, the inn will close later."

"Brother's embrace is too comfortable, I don't want to let go."

Zhu Lingyu couldn't help but feel that Qiu Yan was too tired sometimes, but he couldn't help but feel sweet in his heart, and said helplessly, "You guy, you've become more and more clingy recently."

Qiu Yan chuckled lightly, and didn't say whether he was going to sleep in the inn or what, just hugged him like this.Zhu Lingyu was also held by him, without urging him.

The two just hugged each other under the moon, neither of them spoke, just feeling the heartbeat against their chest was enough to make people feel at ease.

Jiangzhou City is on the edge of Fu'an City, the most prosperous city in Dayan, but its prosperity is far less than that of Fu'an City.At this moment, Fu'an City is probably the busiest time for wine shops and music shops, but the streets of Jiangzhou City have been deserted early.

The surroundings are so quiet that people's perception of the passage of time is somewhat blurred.I don't know how long it took for Qiu Yan to hug Zhu Lingyu so quietly. It was so long that Zhu Lingyu wondered if he fell asleep standing up. Should he carry him to the inn later, when he heard Qiu Yan Yan called him softly.

"Brother."

Qiu Yan's voice sounded a little muffled.

"Do you want to sleep?"

Qiu Yan shook his head, heaved a sigh of relief, and held his arms tightly.

"I really like you."

Zhu Lingyu's chest tightened suddenly.

"When will senior brother say he likes me once?"

It seemed that something was gushing out from the heart, and then filled the whole chest, making Zhu Lingyu sore and painful.

It is impossible to say "like" in front of people in this life.

Zhu Lingyu originally thought so.

At this moment, he seemed to be bewitched by Qiu Yan's words, and suddenly had a strong impulse.

Be sure to speak up.

You can no longer fool around like a joke, you must say it seriously.

However, Zhu Lingyu was probably still a coward in his bones, and he couldn't utter a few simple words when it came to his lips.

Why can't I say, I don't like Ayan?How is it possible, I'm just afraid that I'm not good enough to him, not worthy of his sincerity to me.I can speak well to Master, why can't I speak to him?

Zhu Lingyu repeated these words countless times in her heart, but she couldn't open her mouth no matter what.

He has never felt that he was so worthless in his life, but Chou Yan, who used to like to tease him and see him embarrassed and shy, suddenly became understanding this time, before he could continue scolding himself in his heart, he let go of his arms Sliding out of his arms, he said nonchalantly, "I'm really sleepy, let's go to the inn."

But the more he was like this, the more guilty Zhu Lingyu felt, and grabbed him before he could turn around.

"Ayan!"

Qiu Yan's heart trembled.

When Qiu Yan's mother and concubine were still alive, he often said this sentence: the mouth is used to express love to the person he likes, and the ears are used to listen to the person he likes to say what he wants to hear, and the rest can be left alone ,Do not listen.

At that time, Qiu Yan was too young to understand the meaning of this sentence simply from the words, so the concubine mother would often tell him by example by taking practical actions.But before he understood the meaning of this sentence, the concubine mother died of illness suddenly.

Chou Yan was just six years old when his biological mother passed away.A six-year-old's memory of everything is only superficial, and he can't remember one thing, one thing, or one person for a long time. After the instinctive sadness passes, he will gradually forget about his mother from the voice to the appearance. Everything, except this sentence has been firmly in mind.

So he has been very straightforward in expressing his feelings since he was a child, and he never takes bad words to heart.Although Qiu Yan's mother and concubine stayed with him for a short time, it had a profound and positive impact on the development of his character, and left a strong mark in his entire life.

When Zhu Lingyu knew or didn't know, Qiu Yan was always watching him. He knew more about him than he imagined. He knew that he was always ashamed to express himself. Must be more than said.So even if Zhu Lingyu never said he liked him directly, he would not doubt Zhu Lingyu's feelings for him.

It's just that he expressed his love to the person he likes with his mouth, so naturally he can't help but greedily hope that the person he likes can say the same thing to him, and will tease him from time to time.

Although it seemed that Qiu Yan was always embarrassing Zhu Lingyu, asking him to say something he wouldn't normally say, but in fact he did it because he knew that Zhu Lingyu would accept it.

When he knew that Zhu Lingyu probably wouldn't be able to say such a thing now, he didn't want to continue to persecute him, and secretly suppressed his little greed, but Zhu Lingyu's behavior disrupted his mood all at once. .

When looking back, Qiu Yan couldn't keep the checkpoint in his heart for a moment, and there was anticipation that couldn't be hidden in his eyes.

The sore and painful feeling once again filled Zhu Lingyu's entire chest.

To speak out, must speak out!

Zhu Lingyu kept building himself in his heart, but Qiu Yan's expectations not only gave him great encouragement, but also put him under too much pressure.So much so that he looked at Qiu Yan for a long time, his throat was a little dry, but he still couldn't say anything, and even the hand holding Qiu Yan began to tremble.

Qiu Yan hurriedly grabbed Zhu Lingyou's hand.

"Brother."

"Ayan, I..."

Qiu Yan knew that Zhu Lingyu must not be able to speak today.Looking forward to being provoked for a while, but suddenly disappointed, it would be a lie to say that he would not lose, but seeing Zhu Lingyu working hard for himself, he felt that it was enough.

He took off Zhu Lingyu's hand, then held it in his own palm, and smiled faintly.

"It's okay, don't worry, I will wait until the day when my brother can tell."

After that, the two returned to Xuanqing Mountain, still doing those trivial things as usual.Mei Fangli also gradually adapted to Hu Yuetao's identity, fully integrated into the atmosphere of Xuanqing Mountain without any flaws, and started her own plan.

It's just that he has to follow Hu Yuetao's habit of staying on the ground to participate in the practice during the day, and he can go out to investigate at night, and the progress is always slower.

On this day, as usual, he got up at dawn to go to the martial arts field to practice swords. Halfway through the walk, he suddenly felt a heat in his palm. It was the curse seal he had specially left for Du Yuehua to contact him.

Mei Fangli looked up, and sure enough, not far away, she saw a talisman crane fluttering down from mid-air with its folded paper wings.

Although Mei Fangli specially left this curse seal to Du Yuehua before he left, but he was in the Xuanqing Mountain faction with many eyes and told him not to contact him unless it was absolutely necessary.Du Yuehua took the risk of sending himself a message at this time, what happened?

Mei Fangli thought to himself, jumped up and reached out to intercept the talisman crane in mid-air, and hastily unfolded the origami.I saw only ten short words on the creased talisman paper.

The emperor suffered a sudden illness and was dying.

The author says:

In fact, this chapter was originally intended to end in 2000 words, but I was not satisfied no matter how I wrote it, so I changed it to 3000 words in a day, and finally it was pleasing to the eye.
