Chapter 164: You and You II
The night she said was staying here at night, just as simple as spending the night, and there was no lustful intention. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Jingyang did not think about it, but he must also face it.
The difference between men and women in Zhongzhou is not so sensitive, but it is definitely not a trivial matter for the two to be in the same room. Although the whole is relatively open-minded, there is still a certain degree of attention to such issues involving chastity.
In some areas, such as the west, both sides will even be severely punished. Hundreds of years ago, during the Warring States period before the Yin Dynasty, there were even vassal states that punished such unchaste people by dipping in pig cages.
Jingyang heard for the first time that Lin Xi and Liu Chenyi were alone until late at night, and knew that there could be nothing out of the ordinary, but he still couldn't help but get angry, not to mention what kind of gossip would others have about them if they knew that the two of them had been alone all night.
And Liu Chenyi is everyone's young lady, and it is not only her who is affected by these things.
So in addition to being unexpected, Jingyang also shook his head and refused: "No, it will affect your reputation." ”
For a woman, there are few things more important than reputation.
Liu Chenyi didn't directly say whether it was good or not, but slowly cleaned up the plates he had eaten one by one, and then began to boil water and wash the dishes.
The sound of folding firewood is simply dry, and it is also directly short. She's showing her decision with action.
Jingyang looked at her and was very embarrassed.
got up and followed up with the kitchen and said, "If you stay here at night, how will people know about you in the future? You are a girl, you must think more about your reputation." It's not too late, it won't take long for me to send you back. Jingyang admonished. He simply understood that Liu Chenyi felt that it was too late and didn't want to go back.
"Don't. Liu Chenyi's face illuminated by the firelight in the stove was all firm, and her clear eyes were calm, but she was also determined, not allowing anyone to change her decision.
"Tatsuyi ......"
"If you dislike me, just say it, and if you say you dislike me, I'm not here. ”
"No, it's not disgust......"
"That's fine, you don't talk. Liu Chen covered his ears with his hands.
Jingyang looked at her at a loss. She played with her temperament, and Jingyang actually found that she had no way at all.
He can ignore these things, but Liu Chenyi is a girl, she can't be indifferent. So Jingyang didn't intend to retreat, but said solemnly: "You have to face up to this problem, if it spreads, it will have a very bad impact on you, even if there is nothing between us." ”
As soon as he said that, Jing Yang felt remorse in his heart, what does it mean to "even if there is nothing"? This sentence has too many understandable meanings.
Liu Chenyi didn't think about it, turned his head to look at him and said, "No one will know." ”
Jingyang didn't know where she got the confidence to escape all eyes, but he knew that he still couldn't resist her.
"Chen Yi, have you figured it out?" Jingyang asked again.
"Hmm. Liu Chen nodded heavily, as if she had thought it through a long time ago.
Jing Yang sighed, this kind of thing would not have been brought up without careful consideration. Thinking that if I get up early tomorrow, I won't be bumped into by anyone, so I don't have any scruples. With no other choice, he compromised and turned into the house to make his bed.
"I sleep outside, you sleep inside. ”
Jingyang hugged a mat and walked out to speak. After saying that, he spread it on the ground.
It's a harsh summer, and it's no problem to just sleep on a mat, although the top of the mountain is slightly cool, but with the physique of a cultivator, it's easy to resist a little cool breeze at night.
Liu Chenyi saw his actions, stood up from the stove, stood at the door of the kitchen and the main house, half of the figure was in the firelight, half of the figure was dark, and said, "No." ”
"Huh?" Jingyang had already laid out the mat.
"Not really. Meeting his gaze, Liu Chenyi was a little ashamed.
"You can't sleep outside. Jingyang shook his head, "It's cool at night here, you're a girl, it's more comfortable to sleep inside, and it's very inconvenient for you to sleep outside." ”
"It's not. Liu Chen looked away, "I didn't mean that......"
"That's?"
"We all slept inside. ”
"What?" Jingyang lost his voice.
Liu Chenyi turned around very shyly.
Being in the same room can make people suspicious, and if you are in the same room, even if you don't have something, it will be rumored to be something.
Jingyang didn't understand why this girl would make such a bold request, if she didn't understand, then she couldn't blush, she had tasted so many human feelings in the Nine Swords Gate, how could she know the basic virtues, but this kind of proposal, no matter what kind of feelings there was between the two, it would not appear at such a time.
Jingyang hoped that he had misheard, and asked, "What did you say?"
Liu Chen straightened his robe with his hand and said, "I said let's sleep in a room." ”
Jingyang heard clearly.
also sighed heavily, although there was some sweetness in his heart, it was more of a desire to protect.
"Chenyi. ”
"I've never begged you to help me. Liu Chenyi suddenly said, "Can you help me once?"
"It's not helping. ”
"Then when I beg you. ”
"Tatsuyi ......"
"You said you like me, why don't you even want to do this?" Liu Chenyi turned around and looked at him with a pretty face that could be broken.
"But ......"
"How many times do you have to say that I don't care about you so that I don't talk anymore, Jingyang, you just let me be good once, I have never begged you, and I have never asked you to do anything to me. Her voice was cold, like a whisper from beneath a hundred-foot pool.
It is the first time for the two to play such a role and have a dialogue in such a tone.
The bitterness and bitterness constantly wore down the scruples in Jingyang's heart, and he asked himself that he also hoped to spend more time with her, all the rejections came from the protection of her, but Liu Chenyi's words were telling him that his refusal was hurting.
Jingyang doesn't understand girls very well, some of the words Peng Ling has said, some of the expressions he has made, he can't really understand to this day, but he still knows that it takes more than just courage to make such a girl let go of all her worries, regardless of her future reputation and her own girl's thin skin, and take the initiative to say such things, not just courage, but other reasons that he doesn't understand.
Jingyang hesitated, picked up the mat, and returned to the bedroom.
"You sleep on the bed, I sleep on the ground. ”
The dormitory is simply furnished, with mottled yellow walls, like an old land that has been trampled on outside. Jingyang said to Liu Chenyi while laying out a mat in the bedroom.
Liu Chenyi followed into the room, and the faint gloom on her face seemed to indicate that she didn't think so.
Jing Yang noticed her reaction, looked at the bed that was not spacious, the beating in his chest became violent, and he took a breath and said, "What do you mean?"
I don't know whether it was shyness or compromise, Liu Chenyi didn't answer him, turned around and went back to the kitchen to continue washing dishes. Jingyang breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the mat on the ground next to the bed a little nervously.
After a while, the sound of washing dishes outside gradually decreased, Liu Chenyi put all the dishes in the cabinet and placed them neatly, and then dried them and walked into the dormitory with a candle and a rabbit. He put the candle on the windowsill and sat on the bed where Jingyang slept on weekdays, looking at the stone well outside and the vegetable fields that Jingyang cultivated on both sides.
Jingyang didn't know the time, but he estimated that it should be time now.
The bed he usually sleeps in, and now there is a girl who has enough weight in his heart, and Jingyang still has an unstoppable charm and restraint in his heart.
"Isn't it tiring to grow vegetables?" Liu Chenyi sat at the head of the bed with her knees crossed, looking out the window, and the white rabbit was lying next to her.
Jingyang said: "Fortunately, when I was in Han Fengcheng, I often planted it." ”
"Yes, my little courtyard is deserted outside. Liu Chenyi tilted his head with some regret.
Jingyang smiled: "I'll teach you later." ”
"In the future......" Liu Chenyi smiled sweetly, "Okay." ”
Jingyang realized after a long time what a long and bitter time this casual appointment had accompanied.
……
The moonlight slapped like water beside the well outside the house, and Liu Chenyi's eyes were as beautiful and deep as the moonlight.
The quiet cool breeze of the summer night blew past her and enveloped her, and the fragrance on her body fell on Jingyang's body, and the faint fragrance was refreshing. Jingyang's faint sleepiness was also washed away.
Looking at Liu Chenyi shrouded in moonlight, it seems to be a fairy falling from the sky.
She was also quietly changing, the disguise she had exerted continued to dissipate and dissipate on her face, her nose became a little smaller, and her eyes became a little brighter...... With some slight changes, she changed back to her original form, so beautiful that the whole world was overshadowed.
Liu Chenyi turned his head to look at Jingyang. It's like a beautiful scenery that catches your eye.
Jingyang has seen this face, that day it was like a thousand miles of flowers blooming, and when I saw it again, I was still a little stupid. His heart was also like a thunderbolt that had been lowered countless times, crispy and numb.
Why is there such a beautiful woman in the world?
But in his heart, no matter which face he faces, Liu Chenyi is Liu Chenyi after all.
Jing Yang came back to his senses and said, "Your disguise technique is gone. ”
Liu Chenyi blinked slowly and said, "Because I asked Chen Po to impose something on me, tonight, it will disappear." ”
The word Chen Po appeared several times in her mouth, as well as the involvement of Yi Rong, which made Jing Yang have to think of the wizard old woman he talked to in the carriage of the Supervision Department of Luogu City, but Jing Yang didn't want her to know that she had a different kind of conversation with that old woman, so she didn't say a word about this person.
"You have negotiated with the Nine Swords Sect, otherwise why wouldn't the Nine Swords Sect feel sorry for your disguise. ”
"Yes, but it's not what I'm doing. Liu Chenyi nodded. "Am I good-looking now?"
Jingyang said sincerely: "It's good-looking." ”
Liu Chenyi smiled happily, raised his head slightly, and brought his thoughts back to the previous days.
"Do you remember when we were in the martial arts test, I was injured, and you helped me heal?"
Jingyang laughed and said, "I can't forget it." ”
The corners of Liu Chenyi's mouth bloomed with a smile: "I also screamed loudly at that time." ”
When he woke up, he found that his clothes had been changed, and his body was still partially naked, no matter how ignorant he was, it was impossible not to understand this, Liu Chenyi screamed out in shame at that time, which also made Jingyang panic. It's really funny in retrospect.
"At the time, I was afraid that you would misunderstand. ”
Liu Chen glanced at him, and there was a slight flush on his face at this time, and said: "Actually, in detail, I am in the Nine Swords Gate, and the only person I really know is you, which is different from what I expected at the beginning, what I think is that I want to meet a lot of boys and girls and make a lot of good friends." ”
Jingyang said: "You can meet a lot of good friends, and there are many opportunities. ”
Liu Chenyi smiled and nodded.
"Jingyang, do you have any plans for the future?"
The topic suddenly changed.
"Practice hard. ”
"I don't really understand the meaning of cultivation, I practice because my body is weak, and Master said that cultivation can help me recover, so I am practicing, but I haven't been able to understand it very well, just like Master Confucius in everyone's mouth, what is the point of standing so high?"
Jingyang thought for a moment and said, "They have their pursuits. ”
"And what about your pursuit?"
"Didn't I tell you that I had an opponent waiting for me?"
"Well, you said that. But I hope you can put these down, because these are actually shackles, and you have the right to make a choice and not trap yourself in them. ”
Such profound words should not come out of her mouth.
Jingyang was slightly surprised and said, "I understand, but I don't want to do this." ”
"I think you're stupid. ”
Jingyang said, "Me?"
"Hmm. During the martial arts test, he knew that he was not the opponent of the black-armored boy Peng Jianhua, but he still had to insist on going his own way, and he was holding Sister Peng Ling's hatred, but it was still too risky. Now he said that he knew it was better to let go, but he didn't want to. ”
Liu Chenyi didn't understand that his search for the black-armored boy was not just a matter of revenge, and this itself was also one of the sore spots in his heart, and in the name of revenge, he was more to form an alliance with Jin Meng, the enemy who killed Peng Ling, he was insidious and cunning to the point of making himself outrageous.
Jingyang said: "I have done a lot of wrong things, but I always hope that my next thing is right, I have made many decisions, I don't know how to do it, but I always hope that it can be right." ”
Liu Chen looked at him and said, "You have experienced a lot of dangers, and your character will have a lot in the future, but I hope you can live well." ”
Jingyang smiled: "I also hope that I can live well." ”
"Do you remember the last time we pulled the hook?"
Next to the stars in a pool on the shore of the Star Lake, the two had a promise, and the beauty of that day was as fascinating as the Star Lake, and the words they said could never be forgotten as if they were engraved into the stone tablet.
"At any time, you can chat freely like that day. ”
Liu Chenyi said: "I want to change a word." ”
"What?"
Liu Chenyi said: "No matter when, you can get along freely like that day." ”
