"How? Why don't you go out at night? ”

Mo Chaoyun helped Qianye with some more dishes, "Okay, listen to you, if you want to go, we'll go." ”

Chiba breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, as if her strength had finally passed.

"You're doing a good job of splashing bamboo shoots."

"Really?" Mo Chaoyun finally said enthusiastically: "I soaked the tips of the bamboo shoots in warm water first, waited for them to stretch, and then put them in the pot......"

She babbled a lot more, and Chiba listened to her while bowing her head and holding various dishes, and finally felt that she had eaten too much for the first time. Sure enough, coaxing women is hard work to do, and in order to dispel the doubts in Mo Chaoyun's heart, he feels that he is also fighting.

After eating, when I returned to my room, Chiba sat at the round table and felt a little sleepy. Mo Chaoyun pushed him to bed, "I don't know when you got up, but it should be very early." I was in a hurry last night, I got up early today, and I have to go out at night, so why don't you go to sleep. ”

"Hmm." He nodded and sat on the edge of the bed, "What about you?" ”

She really couldn't do this kind of thing sleeping with him during the day, so she tried her best to calm down: "I got up late, I'm not sleepy, you can sleep." ”

Chiba quipped, "You don't want to wait for me to fall asleep and then sit on the edge of the bed and peek at me all the time, do you?" ”

Originally...... That's what I thought! But at this moment, when he brought it up, she suddenly blushed and stood up hurriedly, "At noon, I have occupied the shopkeeper's stove for a long time, so I'll go downstairs to help her." ”

Before the words were finished, Mo Chaoyun had already pushed the door out in a hurry. Chiba smiled before lying on the bed and closing her eyes.

When I opened my eyes again, the sky was already slightly dark, and I accidentally slept for a long time. When I wanted to get up, I realized that my arm was very heavy. There was no light in the room, but through the faint light outside the window, the undulating silhouette of the man pillowed on his arm could be seen.

Chiba lay back on the pillow and slowly looked at Mo Chaoyun who was sleeping beside him. She was clumped into a ball, and she took up a very narrow bed, and looked pitiful. It looks like it's going to be hot on weekdays, but it's actually quite cute when it's quiet. Especially at this moment, rubbing beside him like a very poor little beast, this feeling is even greater.

Chiba stretched out her hand, gently brushed away the hair covering her cheeks, and said softly: "People are born lonely, you like to be close to people so much, but how can you be good?" I don't know how I grew up, but it's really worrying to think about it......"

Before he finished his words, Mo Chaoyun fluttered his eyelashes and opened his eyes in a daze. At a glance, when she saw Chiba, who was very close to her, she immediately retreated, but she was lying on her side close to the edge of the bed, and at this moment, she leaned back, and her heart palpitated, and her struggling hand also touched her hand.

She exclaimed, thinking that she was about to fall out of bed, but her back was hugged hard, and she panicked, and fell back into Chiba's arms with that force. Because of the momentum, she almost fell back on top of him, and the whole body pressed against his chest. For a while, my heart was beating very fast, and I didn't know if it was because of the scared or because of the man under me.

"As soon as I woke up, someone threw me into my arms, it seems that you are not married." It's so close, so it sounds extra deep and nice. The teasing chuckle passed into her ears with his slightly vibrating chest, and successfully hooked her face.

She put her hands on his chest and propped herself up slightly, trying to say something to contradict him. But looking down at his face, she didn't want to say anything.

What if you don't admit it? Is it possible for her heart that was so captivated by him to be retracted? I didn't know that I could like someone so much, just sitting on the edge of the bed and watching his sleeping face can be obsessed, and I can unconsciously consume a whole afternoon, and even like at this moment, his black hair is pillow behind him, his eyes are like stars in the deep sea, and the corners of his lips with a slight smile seem to be transformed into countless invisible tentacles, grabbing her heart tightly, slowly tightening it until she can't help but breathe shorter.

This impotent attraction is also hopeless. Mo Chaoyun smiled bitterly in his heart, but said with a temptation in his mouth: "If I want to marry, will you marry me?" ”

The smile on the corner of Chiba's mouth gradually faded, and he looked at Mo Chaoyun and didn't speak for a long time. This was also expected by Mo Chaoyun, she actually didn't have any hope, but even if she understood it in her heart, she was still extremely disappointed if she was not surprised at the moment.

She propped up his chest and sat up slowly, then rolled over and tried to get out of bed, but her wrist was grabbed by Chiba. Mo Chaoyun was startled, looked back at him, but saw him frowning and said, "Chaoyun ......"

It seemed to be the first time he had called her name. Suddenly I felt that her name was so nice when I heard it from his mouth.

She looked at him with bated breath, but he said slowly, "I'm not your lover. ”

There seemed to be something very delicate in my heart that slowly cracked, and the cracking sound was silent, but for some reason it was faintly painful. I can't grasp it, I can't touch it, but it can really bring people a sense of pain that tears layer by layer.

Chiba also sat up slowly, looked down at the thin white wrist that was clenched by him, and said in a low voice: "The demon cave only has the battle lord and the war servant, and what you expect, there is none." ”

"If, I mean what ......if," Mo Chaoyun paused, and she seemed to have a hard time before she could continue, "What if we didn't meet in the Demon Cave?" If we were just a couple of ordinary men and women who met, I ...... Can we be together? She tried several times to say the three words together, and finally her vocal cords choked up.

Chiba slowly let go of her hand, and his voice didn't rise or fall without any ups and downs, as if he had withdrawn a qiē emotion, "If it weren't for the Demon Cave, we might, no, we wouldn't have encountered it at all." ”

Mo Chaoyun tried to breathe a sigh of relief, holding back the tears that were almost bursting out of her eyes, she suddenly laughed twice, sniffled again, and then said, "I finally understand now why Qianye hated you so much in the first place." ”

She said as she looked at Chiba, "How calm, how sane, how methodical, it seems that there is nothing in this world that can impress you at all." That's the most hopeless thing, right? There is not even a trace of coaxing and perfunctory, and you know in an instant that there will be no more chances...... There is no chance at all, this is the most ruthless and hurtful thing, right? ”

His eyebrows and expressions remained unchanged, but the bottom of his eyes seemed to hide a deep pool that people would never understand, "The end of deception will not be more direct and gentle than mine, I don't understand that you women like to be deceived, but unfortunately, I am not a man who likes to deceive women." Those false hopes and cold despair are just the result of different paths. ”

Mo Chaoyun breathed a long sigh of relief, then got out of bed, turned his back to Qianye and said, "I understand, I won't say this kind of embarrassing thing in the future, I will definitely not in the future, don't worry." ”

There was nothing unusual in her voice, but Chiba saw her raise the back of her hand and quickly wipe her face, and then pretended to be cheerful: "Oh, I'm so hungry, I'll go downstairs to eat." ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for Chiba to say anything, he had already opened the door and walked out.

After Mo Chaoyun left, the room was silent. Chiba sat on the bed, suddenly sighed, and then lay down on the bed again, shaking his head and saying, "It's really getting more and more powerless to be a bad person." ”

The shopkeeper bumped her elbow against Lian Zhen, and waited for Lian Zhen to look sideways at her before saying, "Did they quarrel?" ”

Lian Zhen didn't speak, turned his gaze back, and continued to stare at Mo Chaoyun and Qianye, who were sitting and eating opposites, but didn't say a word to each other.
