Chapter 9: Temptation
Wu Xi suddenly had an urge to escape, but as soon as she wanted to get up, she was locked by Xu Xing's gaze. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info She could only sit back like a child who had made a mistake and had been caught, and slowly lowered her head, not daring to touch the eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything.
"What's wrong with me?" Her voice was so small that she fell to the ground and disappeared immediately.
"Why are you so nervous?"
"That's because I treat you as my iron buddy, you have saved me so many times, if I don't even care about your life and death, it will be too indifferent. Also, if something really happens, who will protect me in the future? Am I going to fight alone? It's scary to think about. She babbled on a bunch of reasons, and then laughed awkwardly twice, which should sound reasonable.
However, Xu Xing didn't intend to let her go, he walked towards Wu Xi, leaned down in her direction with his hand on the table, and forced her to look into his eyes, "I mean, why are you so nervous now?" ”
Wu Xi was really speechless at this time, she looked at Xu Xing, and a certain kind of light in his eyes made her heart stop beating temporarily. She watched as he approached her, close enough that her skin could already feel his breathing at a rapid pace.
There was no way back, Wu Xi used the last bit of strength in his body to throw the question to Xu Xing, "Why do you think I'm nervous?" "She was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, making her last struggle.
"I don't know, so I'd like to give it a try."
As soon as the words fell, his lips pressed down, and Wu Xi felt his brain thump, and then something seemed to be simply broken. It was as if she had fallen into a wasteland of nothingness, unable to hear, see, or feel anything, except for the kiss that had gathered all her strength.
Very good, this is very Xuxing, this kiss is domineering, firm, does not leave any room for thinking and rejection, only to accept it, perceive it and respond to it.
Over and over again, over and over again, tirelessly.
A sharp knock on the door interrupted the entanglement in the room, and she didn't dare to look at the eyes that were scrutinizing her, and staggered over to open the door.
"Lele," she was shocked, her chest rising and falling. "What's wrong?"
"You're really here, quick, my grandfather has a sudden cold and needs to go to the hospital."
Liu Changsheng had a high fever caused by wind chill, and there was no major problem, but due to his advanced age, he still needed to stay in the hospital for observation for a few days. Although it was a minor illness, Ren Le's grandmother was very nervous and kept staying in front of the hospital bed and was reluctant to leave. Not long after, Ren Le's parents and Uncle Yu also rushed over one after another, surrounding the doctor to ask questions.
After everything was settled, Ren Le's mother walked over to Wu Xi and them, "Thank you today, otherwise the old man would not have been sent to the hospital so quickly, we are taking care of it now, you can go back and rest first." By the way, Uncle Yu, you and your aunt should go back too, and I will call you again if there is anything. ”
"Still won't she come?" Yu Xiong asked cautiously.
"You said that no matter how much hatred you have, it's also your own father, as for making it like this?" Ren Le's mother suddenly raised her voice, but when she saw Wu Xi looking at her suspiciously, she tried her best to control her emotions, "Forget it, I don't have this sister, Uncle Yu, I'll inform you when my dad is ready, now you and Wu Xi will go back." ”
"Does Mr. Liu have a daughter?" On the way back, Xu Xing asked Yu Xiong, who was on the same road with them.
"Yes, but his daughter doesn't know why she has a very poor relationship with her family, and she hasn't been in touch for many years."
"I have one more thing I want to ask you, do you know the origin of the Niangniang Temple at the foot of the mountain?"
"Why do you ask this?" There was a subtle hint of nervousness in Yu Xiong's tone.
"It's nothing, it's just that we've been there today, and we're a little curious." Xu Xing took the words back.
After separating from Yu Xiong, Wu Xi and Xu Xing returned to the Lu Mansion in silence all the way, and this embarrassing silence made Wu Xi's heart beat suddenly. Finally, Xu Xing took the lead in speaking: "You go back first, I will go to that small temple again." ”
In normal times, Wu Xi would ask to go with Xu Xing, but when she heard this sentence today, she breathed a sigh of relief, "Then you be careful, by the way, there is still ......"
"What?" Xu Xing looked back at her.
Looking at his handsome face, Wu Xi was flustered again, "It's okay, I'll go in first." She ran into the mansion like a rabbit.
Wu Xi lay on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, as soon as she closed her eyes, the kiss that made her confused would appear in her mind. What exactly does Xu Xing's words mean? Get your feet wet? What is he trying? Try to see if she has feelings for him outside of friendship? Is his charisma enough to capture her heart? It's too immoral for him to do this. Wu Xi angrily covered his head with the quilt, and then lifted it again. Why was he so calm just now, as if nothing had happened between them? Did he really take the kiss as a game of teasing her?
Wu Xi simply stopped sleeping, got up and put on his clothes and went out. She leaned on the railing in front of the house, looking out at a pool of clear water below. Wait, she may not have thought that if Xu Xing kissed her not because of anything else, but because he liked her, would he really be able to accept his feelings frankly? Has her heart really been cleansed, and is the shadow of that person no longer there?
Wu Xiwu was stunned for a long time, and his heart twitched coldly. She smiled wryly, picked up a rock and threw it into the water, shattering the shadow of the moon.
After discarding these messy ideas, Wu Xi decided to go back to the room to continue the meeting with Zhou Zheng, but as soon as she turned around, she froze: strange, how can there be light in the main house? Now she should be the only one in the entire Lu Mansion, right, is it a thief? Or is there something else?
She hesitated for a long time, but finally decided to go and find out, so she went back to her room, grabbed her horn, and tiptoed towards the room.
Wu Xi hid at the door and observed for a long time, and found that the source of the light was a candle, which was placed in the center of the table, emitting a flickering light, but other than that, there seemed to be nothing in the room. She held her breath and pushed the door open.
The light of the candle was faint, and it could only illuminate a part of the world on the table, and the rest of the room was still wrapped in darkness, so that she couldn't see clearly. Wu Xi stepped through the door, picked up the candle on the table, and carefully searched every corner of the room by its light. Thankfully, nothing unusual was found within her eyesight. She breathed a sigh of relief, and was just about to leave, only to find that the candlelight in her hand suddenly shook violently.
