Xie Ling originally thought that the breakfast on the first day of the Lunar New Year would be quite embarrassing, but the girl Li didn't get up, she went to knock on the door, only to hear an extremely sleepy voice from inside, saying that she wouldn't eat.

The other party said so, and she couldn't force it, so she had to leave her a bowl of porridge in the kitchen.

Xie Xing pressed her to the seat after eating, and ran back to the room to pick up a box, "This is for my sister!" ”

The box is very ordinary, and the contents are not valuable, they are two very cute candy people.

"Lu Xiaofeng and I went to find the old uncle on Guan Street to learn! Begged him for a long time! In the end, it was Lu Xiaofeng who went to the gambling house to help his son win back the money, and he agreed! Xie Xing picked up the sugar man and gave it to her like a treasure, "I pinched him, he pinched me, we are all yours!" ”

Xie Ling was about to cry sweetly by these two children, "Oh my God......"

Lu Xiaofeng also leaned over with a smile, "Does my sister like it?" ”

"Of course I do." She pinched both of their noses, "I can be sweet for a whole year." ”

It was only at this moment that she had a sense that she had lived in this world for a full eighteen years.

Although since she met Lu Xiaofeng last year, no, it is now the year before last, her life has been rushing in the direction of unpredictability and control, and she has been confused and entangled along the way, but if she must say, she does not regret knowing Lu Xiaofeng at all.

"No, sister, why did you drink the porridge just now?" Xie Xing seemed to suddenly remember something, "You used to cook longevity noodles for yourself." ”

Xie Ling has been upset since last night, he really forgot about this, but he can't tell the truth, so he can only wink and say, "Because I don't want to remind myself that I'm a year older." ”

"It's not old!" Xie Xing bared his teeth in protest against this statement.

Ximen Fuxue sat there quietly and listened to the conversation between the three of them, he knew that Xie Ling's birthday was on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and he couldn't get anything to give for a while, and he was a little entangled.

As soon as Xie Ling raised his eyes, he saw his annoyed expression, and couldn't help laughing, "Ah Xue, don't care, let's go change into thicker clothes, how about we go to the pool to enjoy the plum blossoms together?" ”

He wears thin clothes, often when Xie Ling really can't stand it, he wears a little more, Xie Ling sees that he is feeling guilty at this moment, let him add clothes can definitely be done.

There is little snow in the south of the Yangtze River, but the few plum trees in the garden are blooming very well, and there is no wind today, and everyone drinks tea and appreciates the plum blossoms together by setting up a table by the pool, which is also a beautiful thing.

Facing the cold air, the three teenagers all put on the cloak given by Chu Liuxiang, Xie Ling also wore it, the whole person shrunk in that white ball, it looked like a snowball from a distance, plus the three small ones around him, so cute that people were reluctant to take their eyes off.

The tea was boiled by Ximen Fuxue, the movements were skillful and elegant, much more stylish than her, and the taste of the boiled food even Chu Liuxiang couldn't help but praise it.

She jokingly asked him, "Why do I feel that all the steps of me and Axue are the same, but the cooking is not as delicious as yours?" ”

Ximen Fuxue tilted his head and thought about it, then glanced at Chu Liuxiang opposite, "Sister Xu is heart is not calm enough." ”

Xie Ling: "......"

This reason can't be said to be unreasonable, she couldn't help but think.

After all, the beauty of good tea was in front of her, and she didn't calm down to taste it seriously, not only was she uneasy, but she couldn't stop looking in the direction of Chu Liuxiang.

He uncharacteristically did not wear blue today, but wore a moon-white robe, which matched the white jade hair crown on his head very well.

Not to mention that although he sat there in a casual posture and his eyes were lazy, a moment later there seemed to be a hint of sharpness, just a flash that made people think it was an illusion.

Xie Ling unconsciously twisted the ribbon tied with the two pompoms on his chest with his fingers, and while listening to Lu Xiaofeng and Xie Xing's bickering, he pinched a piece of crystal cake with his empty hand and took a bite.

Time passes quickly.

Li Hongsleeves only got up when she was nearly in her prime, and after she slept well, her face looked fairer and rudder than last night, and she was indeed beautiful with the red dress that matched her very well.

It was almost time to prepare lunch, Xie Ling simply got up and gave her his chair, "Miss Li, sit down for a while, I'll go cook first." ”

"Need help?" Li Hongsleeve asked sincerely.

Xie Ling shook his head and smiled, "No, I'm used to being alone, not to mention the reason to let the guests do it." ”

When she said this, Li Hongsleeve didn't insist, "Okay, thank you for your hard work." ”

To be honest, if you abandon the little bit of thought in your heart that you can't see the light of day, Xie Ling feels that she should like to get along with this girl very much, she looks so beautiful and has a good voice, which is very in line with her aesthetics.

It's just that people are really selfish and double-standard animals, although she didn't plan to say it after she realized from the beginning that she seemed to like Chu Liuxiang, but this is different from this situation where she met his confidante and thus had no confidence to say it.

This makes her can't help but have this feeling, but it is not fruitful because of the illusion that there is an external force obstructing her, but when she is calm, she can't help but laugh at herself, how timid and selfish she should be.

After eating, Xie Xing and Lu Xiaofeng said that they were going out to Huafu to pay New Year's greetings, and by the way, they would find Huamanlou to play.

Chu Liuxiang was dragged by Li Hongsleeve to visit Yangzhou City, and only the West Gate blowing snow and cold-blooded were left in the huge mansion.

She also asked Simon if he wanted to go with him, but he still refused.

In view of the fact that he has always practiced swords every day regardless of cold and summer, but this morning he responded to her request to enjoy the plum together, Xie Ling felt that he should not continue to force him, and took Xie Xing and Lu Xiaofeng out after a few words.

It's also that she has been living too comfortably these days, and she has forgotten the life she was worried about beforehand, and she only thought about how to greet the New Year with the flower lord after she arrived at Huafu along the way, and she didn't care that someone was following the three of them behind.

The first to realize that something was wrong was Lu Xiaofeng, who was the most alert and had been learning kung fu for the longest time, and quickly squeezed her palm hard when she turned the corner.

Xie Ling subconsciously wanted to stop, but Lu Xiaofeng didn't let her, dragged her forward hard, and glanced at her, Xie Xing also reacted quickly, his ear power was actually better than Lu Xiaofeng, and he didn't notice it because he was just distracted.

Both teenagers reacted the same way, pushing Xie Ling forward, and then turning around at the same time.

Although Xie Ling was nervous, the use of the dagger that Chu Liuxiang had taught her instantly appeared in her mind, and the dagger was still hanging from her waist, but she had never had the opportunity to use it before.

Lu Xiaofeng and Xie Xing, who were in front of her, had already fought with the man in black who was following them, even if Xie Ling didn't know anything about martial arts, he could see that the two of them were definitely not the opponents of the man in black, the only advantage was that they were small and flexible.

"Sister, run! Forward! Xie Xing shouted as he stopped the man in black.

She pinched the dagger in her hand, she couldn't do anything to throw down the two teenagers at this time, but she clearly knew that staying here was just a burden.

She is no stranger to this road, it was here that she met the man in black who injured her ankle with Chu Liuxiang a year ago.

"Leave us alone! Go to Huafu! Not far away! Lu Xiaofeng also roared.

The two of them actually had a hard time coping, but with the two of them working together, they could barely drag on for a while, as long as Xie Ling could run to Huafu before that, it would be safe.

After figuring out this trick, Xie Ling no longer hesitated, gritted his teeth and ran straight forward.

It's not that she wasn't worried about the safety of the two of them, but after looking at it for a while, the man in black was obviously targeting herself, and he didn't kill the two of them when he attacked them.

Who will it be? Isn't the organ case completely resolved?

She felt that she had never run so fast in her life, and the cold wind howled, and after a while, a smell of blood came from her throat.

However, what made her even more desperate than this was that the man had quickly caught up.

Before she passed out, the last thought that flashed through her mind was, would Lu Xiaofeng and Xie Xing be okay?

……

Xie Ling had a dream, in which she saw Lu Xiaofeng and Xie Xing trying their best to drag the man in black to prevent him from moving forward, but they were only ten years old, even if one was taught by Jiang Xiaoyu and the other by Chu Liuxiang, they could not really stop an assassin with extremely high martial arts.

Just as the man in black raised the long knife in his hand and slashed down, she woke up.

There was darkness in front of me, maybe something was covered, my hands were tied and I couldn't move, and there was a terrible-sounding wind in my ears.

She opened her mouth, unable to make a sound.

"Don't bother, you'll be fine." Someone on the side suddenly spoke, it was a rough male voice, and when he heard it, he deliberately pretended to be like that.

Xie Ling actually didn't think about anything, she knew that her catties, in the case of being completely tied up, was simply at the mercy of others, she tried to open her mouth to ask, what happened to my two younger brothers.

"I know what you're trying to say." The man paused, "Those two little ghosts are fine, but I want to keep them to report to Chu Liuxiang." ”

Xie Ling breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment he couldn't help but worry.

She was caught here, but she couldn't figure out who the other party was, and she didn't even have a chance to say it and guess.

This state of not being able to speak or move was actually very tormenting, especially since the man seemed to be still eating donkey meat cakes, which made her a little hungry at an inopportune time.

She was amused by the thought of having fun in her own misery, but unfortunately she couldn't laugh out loud.

After some time, she suddenly heard the voice of a man standing up.

"Master."

The response to him was a somewhat gloomy young male voice, "The news has been delivered to Chu Liuxiang?" ”

"Yes."

"Then wait, I don't believe that he will not care about the life of his confidante."

Xie Ling lay there, able to sense the young man approaching him, and even could smell the spices on his body.

Although it is a little strange to mix with the taste of donkey meat baked cakes, Xie Ling can be sure that this should be a very precious incense, because there is a smell of agarwood in it.

Those who can afford this kind of incense are either rich or expensive, no, even if they are rich, they are at least the level of wealth of the Hua family.

She worked hard to figure out all the details that could be used for her to deliberate, and her heart was actually so nervous that she even stopped breathing for a moment.

The man's breath spilled on the tip of her nose, too close to her sight.

After a while, she heard him laugh, "It's a beautiful embryo." ”

Xie Ling: "......"

"But it's not as beautiful as a fairy, tsk, I thought how beautiful a woman could be who could make Chu Liuxiang stay for so long." He paused, and then actually reached out and pinched Xie Ling's nose, "Isn't it a nice name?" ”

If Xie Ling is really a native eighteen-year-old girl, she probably doesn't understand what he means, but she has been forty years old in her two lives combined, and she is really ...... for this level of yellow accent I really can't pretend that I don't understand!

"You, come here." The man suddenly spoke up again, "Unravel her dumb." ”

"Yes, master."

The moment she was finally able to make a sound, Xie Ling felt that a pair of hands touched her face directly, and she didn't use any force, but the cold touch made her extremely uncomfortable.

"I just want to hear your voice, you don't make a sound, I want—"

Xie Ling collapsed, you're a bit out of the ordinary as a villain, right?!

“…… I don't have a good voice. She rolled her eyes in a way she couldn't see.

"What's better than your face." The man said with a smile.

Feeling that he had finally removed his hand, Xie Ling breathed a sigh of relief.

The next moment, the man directly touched the dagger on her waist, "Even this is given to you, it seems that Chu Liuxiang is really precious to you, a confidant." ”

Xie Ling vaguely remembered that Hu Tiehua had also mentioned that this dagger was more important to Chu Liuxiang, and it could be regarded as a treasure at the bottom of the box, and at this moment, he was reminded again by this man, and the gentle look he gave to himself suddenly appeared in his mind.

…… It seems that it happened to be last year today.

She sighed silently in the darkness.

In fact, she was not worried about her own safety, because she knew that Chu Liuxiang would definitely come.

The reason has nothing to do with the mess between them, but because by virtue of his character, no one will be allowed to be hurt by him.

This is probably the most charming thing about this man, but for Xie Ling, it is precisely because he knows this too well that he will always stand still and dare not move forward in the matter of "liking him".

Because I know that there is an abyss ahead. 166 Reading Network
