Cold and warm depend on each other

The wooden door is carved with the pattern of Linghua Xiangyun, the pattern is half hollowed out, and there are several lanterns hanging high under the corridor. The orange light is reflected on the door, illuminating the inside and outside brightly.

Su Zhe stood with his back to Xue Wanxiang, and said in a muffled voice, "You should rest earlier."

Xue Wanxiang couldn't stop her tears, she bit her lip and couldn't speak.

Su Zhe paused, but still pushed open the door and walked out.

In front of Xue Wanxiang and behind Su Zhe, the heavy wooden door closed slowly, as if separating the two of them at the ends of the world.

Su Zhe leaned against the door of the house, her eyes were red, she took a deep breath and walked away.

Suddenly there was a coughing sound in the room, and then tables and chairs collided, cups clinked, Su Zhe stopped in his footsteps, the coughing in the room became more and more uncontrollable, Su Zhe panicked, and subconsciously pushed open the door, only to see Xue Wanxiang was sluggish on the ground, her face was covered with tears, she was holding the square stool with one hand, and she was short of breath from coughing.

"Wan Xiang!" Su Zhe rushed forward to hug her, and said anxiously, "What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?"

Xue Wanxiang clutched her chest, her face flushed, and she coughed while crying.

Su Zhe was so distressed that he hugged her across his arms and put her on his lap to sit down. All the impetuosity just now disappeared, leaving only the tenderness in his heart: "What's wrong? It's snowing today, did you go out to blow the cold wind?" ?”

She didn't say anything, but Xue Wanxiang immediately remembered the dazzling scene in the snow at dusk.She pushed her hand and cried, "Don't you want to go, let go."

Su Zhe felt sore and astringent in his heart, he felt sorry for her as well as himself.

Seeing that she was silent and not speaking, Xue Wanxiang knew that she would leave soon, so she smiled coldly, stood up while leaning on the edge of the table, and left her embrace.

She poured a cup of tea, took a sip slowly, calmed the cough in her throat, and said indifferently: "You go. I'm fine."

Su Zhe sat with downcast eyes for a while, and suppressed all emotions when he got up: "It snowed heavily today, I went to the Chilong River to ask, and the old helmsman said that if the ice on the snow hardens in two days, you can pass. River."

Xue Wanxiang's smile became more and more bleak, and she said bitterly behind her: "Are you in such a hurry to send me to Linhuai City?"

Su Zhe pushed the door halfway, turned his head slightly, his voice was light and faint, his eyes were already alienated when he first met: "It's not that I'm in a hurry to send you back, it's that you are engaged and are in a hurry to go back."

Xue Wanxiang swayed, leaning on the edge of the table, trying not to let herself be too embarrassed: "Azhe, my father made a kiss for me before he died. He said that my mother has already left, and he will leave too. I am afraid that I will die forever." Wuyi, promised me to the eldest son of my host family. My father only hoped that I would live this life safely. Ah Zhe, I..."

"I understand." Su Zhe interrupted her, took a deep breath, and said decisively: "The messenger can be answered, but the money will not be moved. I will send you to Linhuai City."

The door opened and closed, Su Zhe didn't stay any longer, turned around and left quickly.The lights in the corridor reflected a circle of orange ripples, Xue Wanxiang clutched his chest, coughed thinly, and looked at the half-hollow carved doors and windows with teary eyes, only to see Su Zhe's figure drifting away, without a trace of nostalgia.

With snow and frost, Ziyang City turned pure white overnight.The inn was gradually filled with stranded guests, and the shopkeeper was so happy that he couldn't see his teeth.

At lunch time, the Junshan faction was sitting around a table of eight immortals. Before the food and wine were served, the junior brother held his cheeks in his hands and frowned: "It's so boring, I can't go anywhere when I'm bored here. Senior brother, there is still a long time before the Xuanwu Festival, and I'm going to wait for you." If we can't cross the river, let's go somewhere else first, and come back to Ziyang City."

Wang Yupei glanced at him angrily.

Several brothers stayed here for more than two days, the river was covered with heavy snow, it was really difficult.

Cao Youqi asked Su Zhe how long it would take to go from Ziyang City to Guangping City?

Su Zhe said: "When we came, we encountered many things, which delayed us for a long time. If the flying horse gallops, we can arrive in [-] days."

Cao Youqi rolled his eyes.

Su Zhe said: "What are you thinking?"

The hot meal and hot dishes were served, and the waiter set the table while looking at Su Zhe. Su Zhe was stared at him inexplicably, but he didn't say anything.

Returning to the room after lunch, Cao Youqi put his hands together on the charcoal stove to warm himself up, and said for a while, "Su Xiaoman, I'm going to Guangping City."

Su Zhe felt drowsy after dinner and was dozing off a little bit. Hearing what she said, he raised his eyelids, not surprised: "Look for Liu Qingqing?"

Cao Youqi let out a "hmm". "You said that she is better at disarming the Overlord than I am, I want to go...to compete with her."

"My original words seem to be indistinguishable, right?"

"That's why I need to ask for advice!" Cao Youqi sat beside the charcoal fire, with his neck raised, determined to win.

Su Zhe is well aware of her habits. Since she was a child, she said that weapons are better than her and poetry books are better than her. People came back from the test.

What's more, it is her best "Bawang Disarmor".

"If you want to go, I can't stop you. It's just that the heavy snow is not stopping now. If you go out rashly, the senior brother will not allow you to go out. Why don't you wait until the snow stops. Secondly, the Xuanwu Festival is coming soon, and you don't want to see the world's masters like you?" Cloud?" Su Zhe said, yawning lazily.

"The Xuanwu Festival has nothing to do with me. When did you see that I like to fight? Besides, the Xuanwu Festival will only be held in the spring of next year. Dad wants us to go out early, but it is because Uncle Zhao's [-]th birthday is at the end of the year. Just go I went to Guangping City and came back, maybe I can meet you at Xuanwu Mountain in time."

Su Zhe looked thoughtful, and after a while, he blinked and said, "Master, you mean to marry the Zhao family of Yanxing Mountain Villa...?"

Cao Youqi was holding a fire stick to fiddle with a few hot coals in the charcoal stove, and replied indifferently: "I don't know."

Su Zhe smiled with his arm pillowed: "Maybe I will be engaged to you at the end of the year. I heard that the sons of the Zhao family are not easy to save money. The second and youngest are better qualified than the eldest. Master and Uncle Zhao are discussing marriage at this time. Who will promise you to, who will be the next head. At that time, you will be the wife of the head of Yanxing Mountain Villa, and our Junshan faction in your mother's house will support you. Tsk tsk tsk, junior sister, you hold two sects in one hand ah!"

She was talking happily, when Cao Youqi suddenly threw the fire stick into the charcoal stove, angrily said: "What are you doing so far! Who cares about being the wife of the sect leader! What is your Junshan sect! I am also a member of Junshan sect!"

Seeing that she was really angry, Su Zhe stopped joking, turned over and looked at her and said, "You are only one year younger than me, and after seventeen years, you are the only one under the master's lap, so you must be very concerned about your marriage. In our Junshan Sect, apart from the top three senior brothers who are already married, the rest are considered to have grown up with you and me. If you are interested in them, the master has already settled your marriage. They have been looking for you for you since you were born. , at this time, if you are asked to go to Yanxing Mountain Villa, you cannot avoid talking about your marriage, do you know that?"

After she analyzed each sentence, Cao Youqi became more and more annoyed as she listened. He got up and leaned against her with a sneer and said, "You also said that you and I grew up together, and your parents treated you as they treated me. There was no distinction between you and me. I'm still one year older, and I'll be eighteen in the coming year, how could I know that this trip is not for you to choose a son-in-law!"

After Cao Youqi finished speaking, he slammed the door and went out. Su Zhe was breathless, thinking about it carefully, he didn't feel cold sweat. What if it really happened?

Before the matter came to the fore, Su Zhe thought for a while and then threw it away.I meditated once in the guest house, and when I opened my eyes again, it was already dark in the courtyard.The heavy snow continued to fall, and Cao Youqi was nowhere to be seen. She opened the window and looked out, and the swirling snowflakes had already accumulated a thick layer.

"Su Zhe. Su Zhe, are you there?"

Someone knocked on the door, Su Zhe heard the voice of the youngest brother, and hurried to open the door.

"Hurry up, come downstairs with me." The senior brother urged her.

"What's wrong?" Su Zhe followed behind him.

"Little Junior Sister is going to Guangping City. No matter how much everyone persuades her, she wants to leave just now, but the senior brother arrested her and gave her a lesson."

The senior brother ran downstairs quickly while talking.Su Zhe was speechless.

The two hurried to the hotel lobby, Cao Youqi was still making noise, Wang Yupei stood beside him with a dark face, and several senior brothers were there.Su Zhe knew at a glance that they seemed to be standing casually, but in fact they all had their positions, and they surrounded the little junior sister in the middle.

"Didn't you agree to wait until the snow stopped before going?" Su Zhe stood beside the Eight Immortals table with his hands behind his back.

Before Cao Youqi could speak, Wang Yupei trained her together: "Agreed? What did you two discuss? You are about to go to Xuanwu Mountain, so you turn around and go to Guangping City?!" Then he glared at the junior sister with a tiger face: "See if Master knows and won't punish you!"

Just as Su Zhe was about to explain a few words, Cao Youqi had already stuck to Su Zhe's arm and said, "Su Xiaoman, don't pay attention to them. They are idiots who don't know the rhythm of Fengyue. When the snow stops, you send me out of the city."

"you!!"

"Master Su!"

Wang Yupei couldn't finish his sentence of reprimanding the two junior sisters, but was interrupted by the waiter in the hall.

"Mr. Su!" The shop waiter yelled again, looking at Su Zhe, and then at Cao Youqi who was holding her arm, with a bit of indignation in his eyes.But after all, this is the customer's own business. The waiter didn't dare to offend the guest officer, so he raised his eyebrows and said, "Mrs. Su didn't come down to eat all day today, and no one answered the door when she sent the charcoal stove in the afternoon. The shopkeeper told the villain Come tell Mr. Su..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Su Zhe had pulled away Cao Youqi's hand and ran upstairs, leaving several Junshan Sect brothers looking at each other in blank dismay.

"Wanxiang! Wanxiang!!" Su Zhe knocked on the door vigorously.

It was quiet inside the door.

Su Zhe was in a hurry, looked left and right, knocked on the door of the neighbor's room, ran to the window and poked her head to look. Fortunately, the two windows were not far from each other. She jumped onto the window sill, climbed the log, and was stunned by the neighbor's astonishment. Zhong raised his breath and flew over.

The window drawer was not fastened, so Su Zhe opened the leaf and turned into the room.The earth dragon has not yet been ignited, and the guest house is as cold as water.The plain draped veil shook slightly, Su Zhe walked over a few steps, lifted the veil, and saw a small figure curled up in the soft quilt with his back to her.

Su Zhe's heart suddenly ached.
