With the master's permission, Liandong didn't leave the house immediately, but walked slowly to the couch and sat down.Staring quietly at the weak and pale face, after an unknown amount of time, his calm expression finally collapsed, and he lay down on the side of the couch almost desperately, choking out sobs.

His Mu Qiu should not have been like this in the first place—that person should have been extremely clear and calm, but he watched helplessly as that person was poisoned day after day to wear down his mind and break his pride, and finally he had to completely A lingering sick bed, surrounded by fate with almost no place to stand.If this was the result of his rebirth, he would not be reconciled anyway.

Cold tears hit the hand that the man was holding, and that hand trembled suddenly as if frightened, causing Liandong to panic.He hastily raised his hand to wipe away his tears, and hastily turned away.

Mu Qiu slowly opened his eyes, stared quietly at his back, smiled and said warmly: "It's dark, don't you want to light the lamp?"

"Accidentally fell asleep for a while before, and forgot..."

Liandong glanced flusteredly, barely found an excuse, and quickly walked over to light the candle.Mu Qiu watched his movements quietly, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly smiled and said: "I was negligent, since you are also staying here, why didn't you ask them to prepare a bed for you..."

"It's not necessary, and I can't stay here all day, Lord Hou——Your Lord still has something for me to do."

Liandong quickly shook his head, struggled to find an excuse, pursed his lips, and asked knowingly, "Why... are you awake?"

"I wake up every day, and I don't care how long I sleep. I had a dream, and it happened to be the end, and I woke up."

Mu Qiu smiled and shook his head, replied in a warm voice, and sat up a little more propped up: "How can you sleep comfortably when you sleep like this? You still have injuries on your body, this bed is very spacious, why don't you come up first Just deal with it for one night. When they come tomorrow, I will ask them to give you an extra bed, whether you sleep or not, as long as you know that there is still a place for you to rest."

Liandong glanced at him quickly, some extremely complicated emotions flashed in his eyes, he clenched his fists and said in a low voice: "You and I just met by chance, and we were strangers before, why should you take care of me like this?"

"I don't know, maybe—it's just that someone can ask me to take care of it at last."

Mu Qiu smiled helplessly, shook his head and lowered his eyes, paused for a moment before softly saying: "Now I am not suitable for thinking about those past, I know it clearly in my heart, so I deliberately control myself not to think about those things. But sometimes , There are always some memories that come to dreams at night, although they are broken and fragmented, they can always easily trap people in them, and they have to wake up to break free... If I can not sleep, I actually never want to sleep like this. "

"So you're going to give me the bed and sit like this for the whole night?"

Liandong was so angry that he almost laughed, shook his head helplessly, turned around and sat back on the side of the couch, and sighed very lightly: "You, why do you have to tire yourself so much? Since you have already told me so much , Could it be that there are more things on your mind that you can't speak out?"

"But... some things are still inexplicable to outsiders, aren't they?"

Mu Qiu smiled helplessly, shook his head very lightly, and sighed very lightly in his tone: "Especially - things that even I really don't want to talk about..."

Liandong suddenly trembled, some deep pain flashed in his eyes, but he still forced himself to smile and said: "It doesn't matter, it's your freedom to say it or not. If you want to say it, I will listen, it's just like listening in a dream." Tell a story, and never let the third person know what you said. If you don't want to tell, I will stay here with you. If someone is with you, won't you sleep more peacefully?"

"I don't know... Since I woke up, no one has been with me."

Mu Qiu smiled faintly, with a gentle look on his face, but his tone was slightly desolate.Calling Liandong's hand hanging by his side also shook without a trace, and slowly clenched his fist, hiding his eyes in the shadows: "I may have something to do during the day, but I don't have anything to do at night. You feel lonely, but I can come and talk to you every night."

"Thank you-"

Mu Qiuwen thanked him softly, his soft eyes fell on him, he opened his mouth as if to say something, but after a long time, he just added another sentence: "Thank you..."

The second sound seemed more plain than a faint sigh, and Lian Dong's heart shrank slightly, she pursed her lips and said in a low voice: "You don't have to thank me, where else can I go besides here?"

This sentence seemed to make Mu Qiu's eyes flash some very faint light, but it was only fleeting. After a moment of silence, he smiled again: "So, you were injured, but the Marquis still sent me You do things, but in the end you don't even give you a place to stay, isn't it a bit too ruthless?"

It was only then that he realized that his several excuses seemed to have conflicted, and Liandong hurriedly avoided the eyes, clenched his fists guiltyly, and put the hat on his grandfather's head: "Master's thoughts, How can a servant make wild guesses? It’s nothing more than working for others..."

He just said it casually, but Mu Qiu suddenly fell silent, and his eyes faintly showed some extremely soft helplessness.

Liandong sensed something was wrong, couldn't help but frowned, subconsciously said in a low voice: "What's wrong, but what did I say wrong?"

"Not at all..."

Mu Qiu smiled helplessly, shook his head slightly, groped from under the quilt and hugged his knees.He quietly set his eyes on the cold moonlight outside the window, and after a while he said in a very soft voice: "You are also a guard... If you are driven away, will you feel sad in your heart?"

As soon as these words came out, Liandong's heart skipped a beat, and a chill suddenly appeared in his heart.But still managed to maintain the calm on his face, after a pause, he said in a low voice: "Probably yes, especially when you are misunderstood and pushed away by others, and you are driven away for no reason..."

He has almost determined what the memories in Mu Qiu's dream are, and his heart is very desolate - when Mu Qiu forgot the memories of them being together, he would occasionally think of the past in the previous life, and it is precisely because of this It hurts the soul.He didn't know if Mu Qiu was still trapped in those memories, but he still hated his stupid and dull self uncontrollably.

Mu Qiu listened quietly to his words, his gaze fluctuated for a moment, and after a moment of pause, he smiled and sighed again: "It turns out that I will be sad..."

"How can I not be sad, maybe I will hate it so much, I can't wait to stab it back again in the end. Anyway, it has been abandoned, and the betrayal is a foregone conclusion. Even if I really didn't do it, what's the point?"

Liandong spoke in a low voice, her fists hanging by her side clenched tightly.The wound on his chest seemed to be pulled by such force, and there was pain that could not be ignored, but he didn't feel it at all.

He needs these pains now—he almost wants to punish himself impatiently. The things he did and the mistakes he made back then, which he thought he could turn over again, have become a prison that that person cannot escape from.

A person's cruelty, is there anything more unbearable than these?

"It's really unnecessary. People have limitations, and they may not be able to see everything clearly."

Mu Qiu smiled helplessly, shook his head slightly, and replied warmly.Looking at the other party's dark eyes that were almost dripping with blood, there was a touch of gentle helplessness in the eyes, and he slowed down his voice: "It seems that you also have resentment in your heart...Resentment is not good, not only hurts the body, but also easily repays grievances .If you can let it go, then try to let it go.”

"I'm a layman after all..."

Liandong smiled bitterly, shook her head lightly, and sighed very lightly: "Forget it, let's not talk about my business, what else do you want to say?"

"I don't have anything to say, it's just—"

Mu Qiu subconsciously responded, and suddenly fell silent for a moment, then smiled helplessly, lowered his eyes and said slowly: "I shouldn't persuade you like this, maybe I'm unwilling..."

"If you are not unwilling at all, it means that you have no feelings for the person who misunderstood you."

Finally hearing him say these words himself, Liandong felt strangely unaware, instead she smiled very lightly, said with a slightly hoarse voice, "People have expectations for the existence of closeness, just like I care about you." I just hope that he can do something, if he can't do it, I will always feel a little sad in my heart... But if this person I don't care at all, whether he is alive or dead, good or bad, and What have you got to do with me?"

"You're right..."

Mu Qiu didn't seem to have thought about this level before. Looking at him for a moment, there was a faint gleam in his eyes, and he pursed his lips before saying: "According to this, I feel sad in my heart, and there is nothing wrong with it?"

His tone concealed the uneasiness very well, because he lost too many memories, and his eyes were also pure and gentle, making people feel uncontrollable bitterness in their hearts just by looking at them.

Liandong clenched her fists tightly, and her eyes were almost hazy, as if she was stabbed into her chest by a knife and rolled and stirred, but it also seemed to be wrapped in some kind of extremely nostalgic warmth.Such a feeling of ice and fire made him almost breathless, but he forced himself to smile, met those clear and dust-free eyes, smiled seriously and nodded: "Of course, you You have a right to be sad, and you have a right to be sad more than anyone..."

Mu Qiu lowered her head and smiled shyly, there seemed to be a faint flash of water in her eyes.With a very soft sigh, he slowly closed his eyes, and buried his head in the arms holding his knees.
