Chapter 23: Covenant I

The hat on Wu Yan's head had fallen off and landed on the water, floating and sinking in the trickery of the pond, and in a few moments, he actually drifted away. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xia Ziyan looked down and saw Wu Yan's long black and thick hair tied up on the top of his head, coiled into a small bun, fortunately, the bun was extremely tight, and at this time, only a few strands of hair fell down on his face. But the body can't rejoice, the light cyan eunuch suit has been successfully occupied by the pool water, not to mention the water immersion, the place where the water is exposed, from the shoulder to the neck is a small and two wet watermarks. Even the muddy water had to be touched, leaving a little mark on the girl's hair, face, and clothes.

Seeing that Xia Ziyan's gaze finally fell on her face, Wu Yan reached out to wipe it suspiciously, naturally wiping the mud on the back of her hand, she understood why there was a sudden silence on his face, and why there was a wave of light passing through his eyes, understanding what he was hiding and what he was exposing.

The boy on the shore stretched out his hand towards Wu Yan and wanted to pull her ashore. Wu Yan stretched out her hand to hold it, but she only held a piece of sleeve robe, even the sleeve robe was very slippery, she was just about to pull the sleeve robe to stand up, only half of the stand up, she had lost her help, she only felt that her hands were empty, even the soft and slippery mud at the bottom of the pool was very stubborn, Wu Yan only felt that her feet slipped, and the whole person fell back into the water again.

The water in the pool was very cold, and the back of my head was cold, and I thought it was splashed on my hair by the pool water this time. There was muddy water splashing by the pool, and this time, even Xia Ziyan, who leaned over on the shore, also took a hit, and a thumb-sized mud mark that fell on his eyebrows and eyes was actually several, because there were many more strokes on his snow-white clothes. Xia Ziyan stretched out his hand to wipe away the muddy water that splashed on his eyebrows, looked down at his clothes again, and said helplessly, "Is it my intention, or are you intentional?"

"You deliberately didn't hold me and caused me to fall back into the water, and you deliberately wanted me to be splashed with muddy water when I fell back into the water, but don't sue the wicked first because you yourself have also suffered. Wu Yan said, just wanted to use the sleeve whip to wrap something solid on the shore, so as to stand up, just stretched out her hand, she remembered that the sleeve whip was put away by herself because it was cut, coincidentally, that night was also because of the encounter with the person in front of her, but also because of this person's subordinates, the sleeve whip died heroically. Wu Yan smiled helplessly, took back his outstretched hand, and was about to stand up with his hand supporting the muddy water, but he didn't expect a branch to reach out in front of him.

"Men and women don't kiss, just now I neglected this, rashly stretched out my hand and hurriedly withdrew my hand, so that you fell back into the water. Now, if you get it right, I'll pull you up. ”

The moon was reflected on the surface of the pool, shattered by the ripples on the surface. A gentle night breeze blows on the surface of the pool, blowing ripples into the distance, and the reflection of the broken moon also swings into the distance, as if the whole pool is full of moon. The only thing that was unaffected was the moonlight that fell on the surface of the pool, reflecting a clear light from the surface of the pool. Wu Yan looked up at Xia Ziyan, and saw that he was also looking down at himself, the clear light reflected on the water surface was reflected on his face, his eyes were full of clear light, and his face became more and more warm, and his eyes were gentle and long, which made people intoxicated, almost forgetting where they were. Her gaze finally moved from his face to the branch he was holding, which had been dry for an unknown amount of time, but she didn't know if it would break with a little force......

Xia Ziyan saw Wu Yan's eyes looking back and forth in front of him and the branches, and slowly spoke, "Don't you believe me? I won't let go this time." ”

Seeing that he seemed to have misunderstood, Wu Yan smiled brightly and said, "Even if you did it on purpose just now, it doesn't matter, I believe you." ”

When Xia Ziyan heard this, he was slightly stunned, and Wu Yan's smile broke into his eyes, which was innocent without scruples. Indeed, if she is not naïve, how can she unconditionally trust an unfamiliar person, if she is really malicious just now, maybe she will hide this malice, and may even continue to maintain this malice, what will her trust make her gain? Is it sadness, disappointment, and pain? So that she is afraid of the straw rope for ten years? Or perhaps, she will be puzzled, will not think so, will be relieved, will be the same, and then after being hurt one after another, she will finally understand, or numb to continue to live.

In this world, trust is a very precious thing. Some people lose something because they believe in others by mistake, and they lose their lives innocently, and some people can support each other and get through difficulties together because they believe in the right people. These stories, there is no need to look for them, and a story can be turned out almost every day in this palace behind you.

His heart was split into two opposing halves at this time, and half of them were at the moment with malice, mocking the girl in front of him, and feeling ridiculous for her innocence. And the other half of the heart is slightly moved, naïve and incomprehensible, is carefree and free, that should be how a good life can be created, "so that the old are safe, the young are conceived, and friends believe in it", but they have been missing.

It's not that he hasn't won the trust of others, and it's not that he hasn't trusted others, but the reason for the existence of these trusts, the foundation on which they are established, how could he ever be as simple and direct as this girl, and so rightfully and justifiably. Maybe this itself is just a trivial matter, completely thinking too much about herself, completely just saying what she just said, maybe even she didn't realize what trust was, she didn't know that what he cared about so much might just be dispensable to her. But why did he hold on to it?

Is it because I care so much about trusting this thing that I can't let go of it for a long time when someone unintentionally mentions it, or rather, because I haven't met such a simple and naïve person as in front of me for too long? I have forgotten how long I have lived in this cold and bleak palace, and I have seen its majesty, gold, silver and jewelry, beauty like clouds, food and music, and many more superficial and poor things, too many to count. In this palace, it seems that new tricks can be tossed every day, and there can be a lively performance every day, but what really reaches the heart and can be reminiscent is only loneliness and emptiness, and no one and nothing can dispel it. Because the people of this place have no human heart, a complete human heart. This palace is like a place that eats people's hearts, and charms the world with its beauty. When people are impressed by its majesty and magnificence, and are impressed by its splendid prosperity, they desperately want to come in, desperately want to stay, when these people finally get their wish, but they don't know when, they have paid tribute to this palace, and then, like a walking corpse, empty desires, empty joys and sorrows, but without a human heart, a complete human heart.

Maybe that's why I cling to it, or maybe there's something else, in my heart, I can't tell it, I don't want to tell it.

There was a sudden wet sensation on the back of his hand, as if something soft had covered the back of his hand, pulling him out of his troubled thoughts. He just wanted to shake off the unknown object on the back of his hand, but found that this thing grabbed him violently.
