Behind the mountain, the stream slopes down from the mountainside, making a huge sound of water, forming a small waterfall.

And under the Hanging Spring Waterfall, there stood a person quietly, who stared at the stream pouring out of the mountainside, his face was calm and gentle.

The yellow halo of the setting sun shone on his back, and the white clothes seemed to be pacing a layer of gold, dusty and clean.

"You know this place too?"

Lu Qinghe turned around and looked at the people who came over, his tone was light, and the sound of water was a little ethereal.

"Ah Ge brought me here once!"

Nian Xi stood on the shore with his hands down, staring at the waterfall in front of him, remembering the scene when Yunji mischievously teased himself that day and the two of them bathed together.

Nianxi's face gradually turned a little red, he calmed down and looked down at his reflection in the water.

"Why are you here?"

Lu Qinghe turned his head and asked, "What about you?" ”

Nianxi raised his head and looked at him with clear eyes.

"I just want to be alone!"

Lu Qinghe turned his head and continued to look at the waterfall, "What's wrong?" You and Master Fang You...... Is something going on? ”

Nian Xi pretended to mention it casually, "You...... How so? ”

Lu Qinghe looked at him with some horror, "Listening to He Fan's complaints, he said that Master Fangyou didn't care about anything recently, he was absent-minded all day long, and he didn't care about him when he lost his soul, and he drank from time to time. Because it has never been before, plus whether you have been there before, so he guesses if it happened to you, let me ask! ”

Nian Xi said indifferently.

When Lu Qinghe heard this, his heart tightened, he thought that he deliberately avoided not seeing him, deliberately neglected to pay attention to the qiē related to him, and did not think about him and his own qiē, so he could act as if nothing had happened.

can hear that he is so lost from other people's mouths, and the inexplicable panic that suddenly swells up in his heart, how can he explain it?

"What really happened to you?"

Nian Xi saw that he asked silently with a calm face, "You are still young, you shouldn't be involved in these things, go back!" ”

Lu Qinghe leaned down and looked at him and evaded.

Nian Xi saw his deliberate avoidance, and suddenly saw his shadow back then, remembering that he was angry and imprisoned Wan Ge back then, if it wasn't for his anger, maybe ...... Maybe it's a different story!

"Some things can be avoided, some things can't be avoided, and what can't be avoided can't be avoided after all, you still have to face it! Don't let yourself lose more because of a momentary gamble. ”

Nian Xi turned his back to prevent him from seeing his gloomy expression, and said coldly, his tone was erratic, like the wind floating in front of him, he could feel it, but he couldn't touch it.

Lu Qinghe's eyes sank, he stared at Nianxi's back, a child about six years old could say such a thing.

Or maybe you haven't even figured out what a six-year-old child understands?

Is he running away?

Who to avoid?

Is it Shu Jingxuan?

Or your own heart?

Lu Qinghe looked at the stream left from the mountainside more than ten zhang high, the water fell in the pool below the mountain, stirring up thousands of ripples, and his heart was like this calm pool, and what stirred up this ripple was not Shu Jingxuan's torrent?

The sun gradually faded from the distant mountains, and the mountains were dyed with a dark sunset red, which gradually faded and replaced with a faint moonlight.

Lu Qinghe walked on the way back, the mountains were very quiet, and he could almost only hear his own footsteps.

At night, the mountains and forests are covered with a faint frost color, and a faint coolness is emanated.

Lu Qinghe saw that there seemed to be a fire not far away, and he also heard the sound of hurried footsteps, he stopped in place, thinking to himself who would come here at such a late hour?

"Sassy ......"

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, Lu Qinghe suddenly held his breath a little nervously, he couldn't help but hold the hilt of his sword with his right hand, and when he was about to pull out the sword, he suddenly heard someone anxiously shouting "Ah Qing"

！

！

！

"Ah Qing"

In this world, only one person would call himself that, and only one person would call his name a little frivolous.

The man, the man who had been running away from him for more than a month, was now looking at him with anxious eyes.

The trees obscured the moonlight, and Shu Jingxuan couldn't see the expression of the person in front of him clearly while holding the lantern, but with that sense of familiarity and his white clothes, he found him.

"I ......"

Shu Jingxuan suddenly thanked the dark moonlight for covering his embarrassment and panic, "What's wrong?" ”

Lu Qinghe paused and spoke, he didn't speak for an afternoon, his voice was a little hoarse and depressed.

"I ...... Just now He Fan came back and asked me if I had a conflict with you, and said that Nianxi had seen you in the back mountain this afternoon. He said that you are at the waterfall, and I handled something from the senior brother in charge, and overheard the second senior brother say that you haven't returned yet, and I'm worried about whether something happened to you, so ...... Want to come and see...... Do you ...... It's okay! ”

Shu Jingxuan whispered, "I'm fine"

Lu Qinghe turned his head a little awkwardly and said in a stiff tone.

"That's good, the moonlight is heavy, you can take this lantern and walk better!"

Shu Jingxuan handed him the lantern in his hand and said, "What about you?" ”

Lu Qinghe didn't reach out to pick it up, "I'm fine, you go first!" Don't you want to be alone anymore, you go first! ”

Shu Jingxuan said with a wry smile, Lu Qinghe was stunned, he didn't know what he wrote about the angry words he said that day, he only knew that he was full of anger and brains, and he didn't know what he said at all.

But he actually remembered that now it seemed that he must have said a lot of hurtful things, otherwise he would never care so much about these things, for fear of making himself dissatisfied again.

"You brought the lamp, naturally you are more familiar with the road than me, you can take it, let's go!"

Kiyowa walked past him and walked straight ahead.

Shu Jingxuan didn't come to his senses and stood in place.

"Uncle Fangyou?"

Qinghe shouted with his usual name, and Shu Jingxuan came back to his senses and walked up.

The two walked silently, and the atmosphere was indescribably depressing.

"I ...... It happened so quickly that I wasn't mentally prepared for it, so I said a lot of things without words, and I can't remember what I said that day, you ...... Don't take it seriously! ”

Qinghe said slowly, his face was a little unnatural.

Silence, after Qinghe finished speaking, Shu Jingxuan was silent for a long time.

Qinghe was suddenly a little anxious and just spoke: "Fang You......"

"Ah Qing, you know, I care about you! We're already like this, and I can't act like nothing hasn't happened, I'm ...... I can't do it to you like I used to. I ...... to you You can't be so open! ”

Shu Jingxuan stopped and looked up at him, his tone helpless and sad.

"You ......"

Qinghe was stunned, he didn't know what to do.

"Aqing, I've thought a lot these days, we can't go back to the past, we don't want to be like you said, passers-by from now on. Or...... We do each other's best ...... Important to save zài! ”

Shu Jingxuan looked at him sternly, Qinghe frowned, looked at him a little coldly, and asked, "Are you threatening me?" ”

"We become passers-by, disown from you...... Is there a threat? ”

Shu Jingxuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "I'm ......"

Qinghe was stunned, yes!

It's just that I don't practice sword and chess with him anymore, and I can't feel his good anymore, what's the big deal.

Why do you feel like a threat?

"Is there no other choice between us?"

"Nope!"

Shu Jingxuan decisively refused, and Lu Qinghe fell into a long silence again...... "Despicable, you actually threaten me!" ”

Lu Qinghe gritted his teeth and glared at him angrily.

"What? How is it a threat to you to let you lose me? ”

"Even if that's what's wrong?"

Qinghe asked a little excitedly, "Uh......"

"Do you think that after so many years of getting along, you can suddenly cut off with a sentence of 'strange road from now on'? Don't you really feel anything? Do you think I chose to separate so that I will forgive you? ”

Qinghe looked at him angrily, his eyes were a little red, "I ......"

Shu Jingxuan was a little panicked: "Do you think I'm ...... To that thing...... Don't feel it at all? ”

"Ah Qing ......"

"Do you know how much trouble I've been having for more than a month? Do you know how deliberately I ignore it so that I don't pay attention to your news? Do you know how much time it took me to let go of my feelings for my eldest brother and slowly accept you? And what did you do to me? ”

Lu Qinghe's voice was hoarse, and he turned his head not to look at him, "Aqing, you ...... Crying??? ”

Shu Jingxuan looked at him in shock and asked uncertainly, "Shut up!! ”

"Ah Qing, Ah Qing, Ah Qing I'm sorry, I just thought that you wouldn't accept me, I just cared about my own sadness, and I didn't think about your feelings. I'm sorry, I ...... I didn't expect you to think that, I'm sorry! I just think that if I force you like this, I can break off with you, so that I can force myself to let go, and you don't have to bother anymore, I'm sorry! ”

Shu Jingxuan stepped forward and hugged Lu Qinghe and said guiltily, almost pushing Qinghe when he was excited.

Qinghe didn't expect him to hug him, his body fell back, and he landed on the big tree for a moment, Shu Jingxuan took advantage of the situation to circle him in his arms...... "Don't ...... Forced me to choose!! ”

Qinghe's voice trembled a little, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, really, I'm confused, I won't force you anymore!" ”

Shu Jingxuan put one hand around his waist, held the back of his head with the other, leaned on his shoulder, and said distressedly.

"I'm not going to avoid you!"

Qinghe said in a muffled voice, "Ah Qing......"

Shu Jingxuan let go of his head, lowered his head and kissed it...... "Don't make a mistake!" ”

Qinghe pushed him away violently, blushing and shouting softly, his tone a little disgusted, "Didn't you say that you wouldn't avoid me?" Isn't that what it means? ”

Shu Jingxuan's eyes widened, and he asked puzzledly: "Don't mess around, you will be wrong!" ”

Qinghe glared at him angrily, turned around and left angrily, "For me, 'like' is this kind of 'like', I can't treat you with another gentleman's gift!" ”

Shu Jingxuan grabbed his wrist and said sternly, "You...... Can't we do the same as we used to? ”

Qinghe said helplessly: "Maybe not!" ”

"You're still threatening me!"

Qinghe's face sank, and he looked at him suspiciously, "Anyway, I'm also despicable, we didn't drink tonight, if it's really annoying, Ah Qing will push me away!" But push me away, and I'm really gone......"

Shu Jingxuan approached him again with a shallow smile on his face, lowered his head and kissed him...... "What are you kidding!"

Qinghe wanted to yell and scold, but as soon as he felt his breath around him, he just wanted to push him away hard, his hand touched his chest, felt his heartbeat, and somehow, his hand slowly drooped.

Never mind...... Let's do it!
