17. Conventions
The night is clear, and the light spreads. Shen Huan was up and down on the roof, but the man was only running around in the alley, and the speed was staggering.
None of them could see clearly, and the man seemed to flash into a house. stared again, and sure enough, he entered a courtyard in the door of the house, and then jumped out of the window without making a sound.
Shen Huan crouched on the eaves, listening to the lingering whispering sound coming from the room, in the middle of the night, it must be the owner of the house who was spending his ** moment.
She was calm, just a little stunned for the mandarin duck who was about to die. After a short time, the man in black sneaked out, and there was no single star in the room.
After studying the internal strength of the fat monk of Puji Temple, Shen Huan's internal strength has improved a lot compared to before. Not to mention, her ear power alone was enough for her to hear a slight sound in the room, but she didn't hear anything, not even how the person did it, how the person breathed, she didn't know anything.
A strong curiosity rose in her heart, and she jumped up again and chased after the man in black in the direction where he had gone.
The farther you go, the more desolate you become. Shen Huan felt that something was wrong, so he was about to stop, but the person suddenly jumped over and landed opposite her silently.
"Don't follow me." It was a young man's voice, low and a little nice.
Shen Huan didn't want stage fright, so he smiled at him, "Why can't you?" What did you do that was unseemly? ”
The man's figure was motionless, "You're not the same. ”
Shen Huan, did he know what he had done, he had seen it? The thought flashed through her, and she was relieved that he was just lying to her.
"Who are you?" Shen Huan calmed down, and it was rare to be polite, "I just want to make a friend." ”
The man seemed to smile and said very softly, "I don't make friends." ”
"So, what about jousting? I've always wanted to find someone to try it out. Shen Huan said seriously.
The man shook his head and spat out two words, "No." ”
"Why?" Shen Huan was patient and asked sincerely.
The man simply replied, "I only kill people, I never compete with others." ”
It's a good word, it's a big breath. Shen Huan wanted to speak again, but he listened to his voice flowing slowly, still the four words from before, "Don't follow me." ”
Shen Huan never took it lightly, and sneered, "Then unless you compete with me, or kill me." ”
As she spoke, she kept an eye on the person in front of her, preventing him from attacking her. It was only a moment before the man suddenly looked up and glanced at the lone bird resting on the branch beside him.
Shen Huan subconsciously raised his head, and in the flash of light, he saw the lone bird fall from the branch and staggering to the roof.
His face changed immediately, but fortunately it was night, and his face was covered with a black scarf. Shen Huan turned to the person again, but he had disappeared without a trace.
For the first time in my life, I felt danger, and I couldn't help but feel scared. Shen Huan stared around, and it was sure that there was no longer that person, so he exhaled slowly, calmed down a little, and turned around and walked back quickly.
Fortunately, no matter the rain or shine outside, there will always be a sheep's horn lamp left in front of the Gu house. Shen Huan didn't care about it before, but when she saw it today, she remembered that this place had long been the warmest place in the world for her.
Relaxed, her steps relaxed, and she walked to the door, letting out a long breath.
As soon as his breath calmed, the lights in the room turned on, Shen Huan's temples jumped suddenly, paused for a moment, and pushed open the door.
Gu Cheng sat on the chair against the wall, his eyebrows lowered and his eyes solemn, and the candlelight reflected half of his face, smudging a warm luster, but unfortunately his complexion sank to the bottom.
Shen Huan was overjoyed, closed the door with his backhand, and smiled through the black scarf, "Waiting for me, do you have something to say?" ”
Gu Cheng took a deep breath and looked at her, not in a hurry, "Dressed like this, where did you go?" ”
The man may have been annoyed, but he still couldn't pick up the tone of questioning her.
Shen Huan tore off the black scarf that covered his face, sat down calmly, and replied with a smile, "You never ask about my whereabouts, why are you suddenly interested?" ”
Gu Cheng retracted his gaze, "I don't ask much, it's out of respect for you." What is hidden in your heart, I can't stop it, and I don't have a position to stop it, and I don't like to force people. ”
He sighed, without the slightest hesitation, "Now I ask for concern." ”
Shen Huan looked at him with a smile, and said that looking at the beauty under the lamp is not moving, there is a hazy image from a distance, and it is delicate when you look at it closely, and you can enjoy it carefully.
This is true, she looks at him like this now, and she feels that his side face is better, it turns out that he has a delicate jawbone, outlining a touch of perseverance that is different from the moist and gentle. Maybe this kind of side face is more in line with the true description of his heart.
She didn't speak for a long time, Gu Cheng was surprised, and turned to look at her unconsciously, but saw that her eyes were flowing, like mist and silk, and there was a sense of infatuation in the confusion.
Deng Shi was breathless, and lowered his eyes in a hurry, not daring to look again.
"I'm just practicing, and I'm clean outside." After Shen Huan appreciated it, he finally spoke and replied softly.
Gu Cheng forced himself not to think about what he had just seen, and asked rhetorically, "The picture is pure, can't you practice at home?" ”
"It's not bright enough," Shen Huan smiled, "and it can't catch the qi of heaven and earth." ”
Gu Cheng chuckled low and nodded, "Okay, it's more convenient outside than at home, I don't care where you go, as long as you don't practice in the Fang family's mansion." ”
This surname alerted Shen Huan, frowned and asked, "What do you mean?" Are you afraid that I will go to Fang's house, afraid that I will hurt Fang Qiaozhen? ”
Gu Cheng pursed his lips and opened his mouth for a while, "Just because I'm too careful, please don't do this." She...... After all, I didn't offend you. ”
"You, that's what you think of me?" Shen Huan stared at him and asked in a deep voice.
Gu Cheng gritted his teeth and said in a sincere tone, "When I beg you, don't do that, everyone won't be able to see each other in the future." I beg your pardon if what I said is incorrect. ”
Shen Huan didn't answer him immediately, he supported himself with his hand, and remembered in his deep groaning that Gu Chengzhen could be regarded as someone who knew her very well.
So he changed his tone and said with a smile, "The third brother looks down on me, and I can't touch her at all." ”
Gu Cheng was immediately relieved, "That's good." After saying that, he stood up.
"You're here to say this to me?" Shen Huan's brows furrowed.
Gu Cheng was stunned, so he had to sit down again and think about it, "What should be said and what should not be said, we have already said it." They all know what each other thinks in their hearts. You...... Please don't force me, there are some things that you can't ask for. ”
"Third brother, we are different, I just like to force it, and it is enough to force what comes." Shen Huan's eyes reflected the dancing candle flame, flickering, just like her faint voice, "It's you, endure it like this, do you endure it uncomfortably?" ”
Her words hit him in the end, and a trace of pain flashed in Gu Cheng's eyes, and he turned his face away and stopped looking at her.
As if something had pierced into her heart, all the way to the deepest, softest place, she finally slowed down her voice, "Third brother, you look at me and answer the question I just asked." ”
Gu Cheng breathed on his back, never looking at her, "I'm an engaged person, I can't just think about myself." A girl's reputation matters, and it is related to a lifetime. I...... When we met, it was already late, and the age difference between you and me was too much, and I wouldn't be a good match for you. Right now, it's your momentary obsession, because you've only seen me once, you believe me, one day you can forget me, and when you think about it then, maybe you will only feel funny. ”
Shen Huan rarely showed a wry smile, "You are really stubborn, since you are worried, then let's leave here, go away and fly away, and never see those people again." ”
Gu Cheng was silent for a moment, and said calmly, "My mother is in one day, and I won't leave here." ”
It was Shen Huan's turn to be silent, there was nothing to be done about it, it was just hesitation, but he suddenly got up, walked in front of her, word by word, his lips trembled slightly, "You can't beat my mother's idea, you must not." ”
The words fell, they looked at each other calmly, and in silence, Shen Huan's heart gradually became cold, and he didn't know whether to be glad of his understanding of him, or to be cold about his speculation about himself.
After a long time, he was waiting for her to promise, but she deliberately didn't answer, just smiled at him unruly and obediently.
After a while, he squatted down and looked at her levelly, his eyes flowing with warmth and kindness, "Can you promise me?" ”
Since he pleaded, she fearlessly drew the price, "Then you have to promise me that one day in the future, you will leave with me, and never come back." ”
The pain and struggle condensed in his eyes little by little, and then dissipated little by little, and finally there was only peace.
After a long time, he nodded, "If you still want me at that time, I'll go with you." ”
