It has entered late autumn, and the cold cinnamon is still fragrant.

In a certain annex of the Liao Imperial Palace, under a dense laurel tree, there stood a lonely figure.

The corners of the moonlight brocade he was wearing had been dyed with a layer of dew, and it looked more and more lonely under the blowing of the morning breeze.

And he himself is like a jade tree, although the east has only revealed the whiteness of the fish's belly, in this slight morning light, his luxurious and graceful body is still dazzling, and people can't take their eyes off it.

"Sir. ”

The voice of a slightly immature teenager sounded behind him.

Hearing this voice, Yu Shenyuan came back to his senses from his contemplation, he moved his slightly cold brows, and turned his head, looking at Mo Li, who was still a little out of breath who walked in from outside the courtyard, his eyebrows and eyes had a look that seemed to be smiling and not smiling, and said lightly: "You got up so early today, you have been more and more diligent recently, with your father dealing with the affairs in the court has been very energy-intensive, usually you have to be busy until late at night, you don't have to get up so early in the morning, hard work is due, but the body is still tight." ”

Hearing this, Mo Li raised his hand and rubbed his temples with some embarrassment, and then raised his eyes to Yu Shenyuan with a bright smile and said: "I should do this, I want to learn as soon as possible, to be able to share some of the burden for my father, but also to let Mr. rest assured as soon as possible, because our father and son you choose to stay in Liao, not only did you do your best to help my father in the court, but also accepted me as a disciple and taught me martial arts and the art of power and strategy, sir's kindness, our father and son will always remember it, so I should also think about Mr." ”

Saying that, Mo Li walked a little closer, stood still behind Yu Shenyuan, and then said in a rather old-fashioned tone: "I know that Mr. has a concern in his heart, even if you are in the Liao Kingdom at this time, you are still worried about that person in your heart, so I have to hurry up and make myself strong so that I won't drag Mr. down." ”

After saying this, Mo Li took out from his sleeve the homework left by Yu Shenyuan, who stayed up all night last night.

Seeing this, Yu Shenyuan raised his hand to take it, but he didn't immediately open it to see, he took the homework in his hand, turned to Dongfang and stood with his hands in his hands, and did not answer Mo Li's words.

The atmosphere suddenly condensed again.

However, Mo Li, who had long been accustomed to this mode of getting along, did not feel that there was anything wrong with it, he raised his hand to wipe the beads of sweat on his forehead that had just come out of practicing the sword, and then glanced at Yu Shenyuan, who was standing in front of him and was as tall as jade, and he was comparing the size gap between himself and Yu Shenyuan.

It is already his fierce long-term life, but in the past few months, he has grown a lot, although he has not yet reached the size of Yu Shenyuan, but if he can stand by his sister's side at this time, he will not let her look down on her anymore - Mo thought to himself.

"Ah Li. ”

Mo Li was thinking about his thoughts, but he never thought that Yu Shenyuan would stop him first, his expression moved, he hurriedly stepped forward, turned to Yu Shenyuan and wondered: "What does Mr. command?"

Yu Shenyuan sighed, and then the corners of his mouth were raised, and a stunning smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, he glanced at Mo Li, and then said: "The current Liao State is on the right track, your father has been able to handle the government with ease, and you have also realized the essence of martial arts, and the rest is hard practice." ”

Hearing Yu Shenyuan say this, Mo Li's heart was stunned, although Yu Shenyuan didn't say it directly, but he had already vaguely guessed it, thinking of this, he hurriedly said, "Sir, what do you mean?"

Yu Shenyuan smiled, and the picturesque brow curve could overturn the rivers and mountains with just one glance.

Mo Li, who looked at the other side, was also stunned, he felt in a trance, and felt that even a talented and beautiful person like Mr. could not enter his sister's eyes, what kind of existence should his sister's sweetheart be?

Thinking of this, Mo Li's heart also missed a beat, and his heart, which was still happy about his progress at the beginning, also fell to a low point all of a sudden, because he thought by the way, if even a person like Yu Shenyuan didn't like it, what about him?

It just so happened that Yu Shenyuan's eyes were falling on Mo Li's face, and seeing his lost expression, Yu Shenyuan shook his head helplessly and said, "It's been here for a while, and now everything is fine here, I should go back over there to take a look." ”

Hearing this, Mo Li's eyes crossed a thick reluctance, although these days, every time he saw Yu Shenyuan standing alone in the courtyard, and the word loneliness was barely written between his eyebrows, he thought, Mr. is probably leaving, but he didn't expect it to be so early.

To be precise, Mo Li is not mentally prepared.

Yu Shenyuan's departure was too sudden for him, but he took it for granted.

Seeing his expression, Yu Shenyuan raised his hand and put it on his still somewhat thin shoulder, and his voice softened a little, and said, "Over there, there are always some things that can't be put down, and they can't let go." ”

Hearing this, Mo Li was stunned again, he almost didn't think about it, and looked directly at Yu Shenyuan and asked, "Mr. is talking about sister?"

His voice was still a little immature, but he didn't know that this sentence was like an arrow off the string, pointing straight to the depths of Yu Shenyuan's heart.

Yu Shenyuan's eyes fell between Mo Li's immature eyebrows, he shook his head, then thought about it, nodded anyway, and said: " The wind and clouds are gradually rising, Su Jingshuo took over the Chu State, and he will definitely not take care of her, even if Su Jingshuo is willing to give up everything for her, and according to her temperament, she will definitely take care of the overall situation, however, in this way, the natural danger is her, she treats me kindly, so I can't leave it alone, staying here for a few months is the limit, and now in the troubled times, although I will not stir up this world again, but I also want to protect her from the smoke and rain. ”

As he spoke, Yu Shenyuan let go of the hand that was pressing on Mo Li's shoulder, turned around, and continued to raise his eyes, looking towards the east as before.

That was the direction in which Chu Yunsheng left.

Mo Li stood beside him, looked at him thoughtfully, and said for a long time: "Sir, there is one thing I have always wanted to ask. ”

"What?"

Yu Shenyuan didn't look back.

Although Yu Shenyuan has always been gentle to Mo Li, and is not as strict as other masters, but for Yu Shenyuan, Mo Li is more or less afraid, this fear comes from awe, and it is precisely because of the fear of awe that he has always buried this question in his heart, at this time, when he heard that Yu Shenyuan wanted to leave, and said the reason just now, Mo Li couldn't help but ask, he said: "Since Mr. cares about my sister so much, why don't you tell her? Let her know what is on your mind?" Just like me, I like my sister, I have to tell her, but I have to do my best to pursue her, and now she rejects me and dislikes me for being young, but I will always grow up one day, and the promise I made to my sister that I would marry her will not change anything. ”

Speaking of this, Mo Li turned his head and looked at Yu Shenyuan cautiously, seeing that Yu Shenyuan's expression was as usual, he continued: "If I like her, I will let her know, and I will not give up pursuing her, but sir, since you like her, why do you hide it in your heart?"

Hearing this, the corners of Yu Shenyuan's mouth moved, and he sketched a soul-seducing smile, he did not answer Mo Li's question directly, but asked Mo Li instead: "Since you like her so much, why do you still persuade me not to give up on her, but to face her liking directly?"

Mo Li knew Chu Yunsheng's thoughts Yu Shenyuan, as early as when Chu Yunsheng was in Liao, Yu Shenyuan saw it with his own eyes, but he only regarded Mo Li because of a whim, in his eyes, Mo Li was just a child, a child who had not grown up, and he didn't take it seriously, even if he took it seriously, that kind of liking was not the same as the love of men and women, however, until today, hearing Mo Li's words, Yu Shenyuan felt that maybe Chu Yunsheng was really the kind of like that was deeply imprinted in his bones for Mo Li。

Hearing Yu Shenyuan's words, Mo Li's face turned red all of a sudden, he was not a shy and introverted person, but when he mentioned his liking for Chu Yunsheng, he still felt a little shy, although he never hid his liking for her.

Hearing He Rong's question at this time, he turned his eyes, followed the direction He Rong looked at before, looked to the east, the direction where Chu Yunsheng left, and said seriously: "I like her, but I don't reject other people's liking for her, because I think she is worthy of anyone in this world." ”

Hearing this, He Rongwan smiled, shook his head, and did not speak again.

Seeing his attitude, Mo Li was anxious, he turned around, walked in front of He Rong, looked up at him and said, "What does this mean, sir?

Seeing him so reluctant to ask for an answer, He Rong sighed, then turned around and was about to walk towards the house.

Seeing this, Mo Li lowered his eyes with some disappointment, because he knew that under normal circumstances, Yu Shenyuan didn't plan to respond to him, and he was going to turn around and go back to practice again, but he didn't think that Yu Shenyuan, who had already turned around and walked a few steps towards the house, suddenly paused and said in a low voice: " Not everyone is as straightforward and frank as you are, since some people are destined not to get it, it is better to put her in their hearts, properly place, and only keep her flowers and full moon, once the word like is spoken, not only do they feel funny, but also bring her a burden, so don't say it. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he took a step and walked into the room.

Hearing this, Mo Li was stunned, and couldn't understand Yu Shenyuan's state of mind when he said this, he took a few steps forward, wanting to keep up with Yu Shenyuan, but Yu Shenyuan didn't mean to explain to him again, he walked directly to the door and pushed the door open.

Seeing this, Mo Li scratched his head and said, "Then master, when will you leave, will you come back in the future?"

Yu Shenyuan had already walked into the house, and he was about to close the door, when he heard this, he stopped what he was doing, lowered his eyes and said, "It's just these two days, as for coming back, that's a matter for the future." ”

His responsibilities here have been fulfilled, and for him, he has paid off his personal debts, so continuing to stay here is equivalent to putting a shackle on himself, and the return that Mo Li said is just leaving for him.

After all, as for him here, he is not a home-like existence, so it is not appropriate to use the word "back".

On the contrary, there was still a little rejection of this place in his heart, at the beginning, if it wasn't for the glory and wealth here, his ruthless mother would not have been so vicious to the Yu family, causing their situation today.

Therefore, he doesn't like it here, but he lives rationally, and he will not involve his hatred in Liao State and everything he has come into contact with here so far.

didn't get angry, but he really didn't like it, this is Yu Shenyuan's true thoughts.

After saying this, Yu Shenyuan raised his hand and was about to close the door, Mo Li hurriedly said: "Sir, although I still don't understand what you said before why you like someone but don't tell her, but I still like my sister, so I won't give up, and I won't let it go to you!"

As he spoke, his slightly immature face flushed, and before Yu Shenyuan could react, his ankles had already turned around and fled as if he had to leave the courtyard.

Yu Shenyuan's hand was still pressed on the door, and he looked at Mo Li's departing back, feeling a little helpless and a little funny.

But after laughing, he didn't mean to despise him at all, on the contrary, he still had a little envy and admiration for Mo Li, in him, he could see the straightforwardness and openness that he didn't have.

He envied his senselessness, his straightforwardness, and even more so his frankness.

And these are things that have been gradually erased from his life over the years.

As Mo Li said, if he likes Chu Yunsheng, he has to let her know, and he will not give up, nor will he obstruct and reject others' liking for her.

He likes to be straightforward, and his love is open.

And he, however, is exactly what he thinks.

He himself felt that since he was hopeless, he hid that thought in his heart, so as not to be embarrassed to meet again in the future, and not to burden Chu Yunsheng.

However, his liking, in front of Mo Li, became timid and cowardly.

Compared with Mo Li's openness, Mo Li's light and heat, Yu Shenyuan felt that his liking was both cautious and humble.

Lowly.

When this word appeared in Yu Shenyuan's mind, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, raising a mocking arc, and in the morning breeze with dense water vapor, he muttered: "Liking someone is a very humble thing. ”

He understands her, and he understands her feelings even more.

Therefore, unlike Mo Li's straightforward and meaningless, he had already expected the ending, no matter how he fought for it, whether he expressed his thoughts to her or not, the result was the same.

For him, she will always be the moon in the mirror, the flower in the water, and she can only be guarded not far away, not touched, and cannot cross the distance that should be maintained, otherwise, even the last bit of thought in her heart will be broken.

The sky is slightly bright, and some people are sad.
