"What exactly you mean depends on how you answer my question."

Mo Chaoyun was a little dumbfounded, "Obviously I'm asking you, why did you ask me?" ”

Chiba smiled casually, "Do you like Huo Xiyun?" ”

Mo Chaoyun was stunned for a moment, "How did it get to the king of the county?" ”

"You've been eating a thousand nights of vinegar all night, and you think you're a person who believes in long-term love. You also said that Huo Xiyun saved you, taught you to read and practice martial arts, gave you a name and birthday, and occupied most of your life, even if he killed you, you still think that he must have a hard time. It's only natural for me to ask you if you like him, just as you decided that I must have an entangled relationship with Chiya, which is not a superfluous question. ”

Speaking of this, Chiba took out a small embroidered sachet from his sleeve, "This is your crescent bean, tell me about its origin." ”

Mo Chaoyun was originally embarrassed because Chiba guessed that he was against him at the dinner table because she was eating Qianye's vinegar, but after seeing the small sachet containing the crescent bean, she quickly came back to her senses, took it back from Chiba's hand, and then carefully opened the bag of the sachet, poured out the crescent bean, and held it in her palm and looked at it carefully for a long time.

After a long time, she sighed, "This is my birthday gift from the king of the county when I was fifteen years old. He told me that I had finally grown up and was a big girl, and that he wanted me to have a smooth and trouble-free life, so he gave me this crescent bean, saying that it would bring me good luck. ”

Chiba smiled and said, "That's what he said to you?" Is this a bean that brings good luck? ”

Mo Chaoyun nodded, "Actually, what I fancy is not what can bring good luck, but that I am finally an adult, I am no longer the useless little girl who needs to be maintained by the county king in the past, I finally have the ability to repay his kindness for many years, and I finally don't feel that I am a redundant and embarrassing storage in the county king's mansion." ”

Speaking of this, she smiled bitterly, "The king of the county is more than ten years older than me, and he has a fiancée who is a good match. The future princess didn't like me very much, in fact, I always knew it, but I always hoped that through my own efforts, she would accept me. I have always respected the king of the county, and I have never had the heart of arrogance, but she doesn't believe it. ”

Mo Chaoyun tilted his head and looked at Chiba, "You don't believe it either, do you?" ”

Chiba didn't speak, but listened to Mo Chaoyun continue: "In my heart, the county king is like my own brother, and I respect and admire him very much. In my opinion, he is a natural leader, a person who should stand in a high position for the rest of his life, and I am just his bodyguard. I never thought anything wrong with him, because it would be like blaspheming him...... I don't know if you can understand that? Everyone in the temple will bow down and tell them their grievances and wishes, but no one will ever want to tell a god statue. I am willing to do everything I can for the king of the county to repay his kindness, but there is a difference between master and servant, and I will not have delusions and daydreams that are beyond my strength. ”

"Oh......" Chiba said in a long voice: "To sum up, the king of the county is much older than you, and he is different from your master and servant, so you can't have a relationship with him, can you?" ”

Mo Chaoyun frowned, she always felt that this sounded very strange, but it was true that her feelings for the county king were not between men and women, so she nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Chiba said strangely: "I'm also much older than you, and I'm different from you and you, so why don't you have so many concerns when you think about me?" I haven't even been with you as long as Huo Xiyun, so I'm curious, why did you have a relationship with me? ”

Mo Chaoyun was dumbfounded at first, and then wondered, "You are much older than me?" Don't lie to me! Actually, I always thought you were younger than me! I'm nineteen, what about you? Looking at your appearance, you must not be as big as me, I think fifteen or sixteen at most, right? ”

"It's just a nineteen-year-old girl." Chiba shook his head and said: "You can't guess my specific age, I'm just reminding you, if you think that Huo Xiyun is much older than you, and you only have respect, then I am the same for you, no different." ”

What the?!

Mo Chaoyun was surprised. Although Aunt Yun had vaguely mentioned that Chiba didn't look so young, she had also guessed that he might just look very small, but she never thought that he would be so much older than her!

He said it himself, and it was no joke on his face, was it true?

Chiba couldn't help but change her expression when she saw her, and teased: "Knowing that I am much older than you, do you regret it?" ”

"No, no, no!" Afraid that Qianye would misunderstand what she meant, Mo Chaoyun hurriedly said, "I just didn't expect it......"

She looked at him carefully, and then said in confusion: "It's really strange, how can you be so young?" ”

"The internal skill I practice is called the Heavenly and Human Technique, and this internal skill itself has the effect of permanentizing the face. The so-called celestial beings are nothing more than immortality, but my face has not changed because of an accident ten years ago, and my appearance has not changed since that time. ”

Seeing that Mo Chaoyun was surprised when he heard this, he said again: "I said it in the front, if you like my appearance, I can't guarantee that it will never change, and it is very likely that those past years will leave a mark on my face again overnight, and by then I will be older than you, and my appearance will not be able to attract you, won't you regret it?" ”

Mo Chaoyun exhaled sullenly, "Who sued you, I like your appearance?" Do I look so superficial? ”

"Isn't it?" Chiba raised an eyebrow, "For the same reason, you denied Huo Xiyun, and we don't have as long as you and Huo Xiyun, and I know that I have a good look, I really can't think of any other reason for you to fall in love with me so quickly." ”

Mo Chaoyun frowned a little hard, pondered seriously for a moment, and then said "oops", "I really have a serious thought." Why are you so direct and mean when you count me, but I still like to hear you talk to me. Obviously, you rarely praise me, but even if you only praise me for a few words, I can't help but be happy that you can recognize me. Obviously, you have always disliked me, but you can finally become your war servant, but I have a feeling in my heart that my wish has been fulfilled. I don't think it's a shame to let you know that I like you, and even if you reject me, I hope that can be conveyed to you. ”

Speaking of this, she stared bravely at Chiba's face, "In my opinion, you and I get along fairly, although we are in the position of master and servant, but it is different from my relationship with the county king." I don't think you've ever tried to make me take shortcuts, in my opinion that's really fair, and in your heart you believe that I can do it, even if I'm in danger, you believe that I can finally deal with it and get through it, right? The Nineteenth Courtyard does seem to be a dangerous place, but it is undeniable that after experiencing the days of the Nineteenth Academy, I have a new understanding of this demon cave, which is different from the previous one, but it is undeniable that it is an experience that can make me grow. I like to guess your mind, and if I think about it too much, I will feel that you are a strange and elusive person, and with you, there are always unexpected things happening. With you, I don't think I'm alone, and I also have someone in this world who wants to be with him all the time. Actually, I wasn't so sure, but when you asked me why, I thought about it again, well, that's it. ”

Chiba let go of the palm that held her, raised it and patted her head, "I'll be honest, your confession is really the most clumsy confession I've ever heard, I didn't find anything touching about it when I was a hundred times more thrilling than you, but I may have not met someone like you for a long time, and I think it's quite funny that you say that." ”

Mo Chaoyun pushed his hand away in embarrassment, "What......"

"Has he kissed you?"

Chiba's astonishing words made Mo Chaoyun stunned for an instant, and after thinking for a while, he realized that he was referring to the king of the county, and then he was annoyed, "I have been cheeky for so long, and you still don't believe me, you ......"

"It seems like not."

As soon as the words fell, Chiba had already lifted Mo Chaoyun's face with a slightly cool and good-looking fingers, and in her widening eyes, he sank his head slightly, and his thin lips covered her lips accurately.

This is a very short kiss, and it is not an exaggeration to say that a dragonfly touches the water, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a touch of water. This qiē happened so fast that Mo Chaoyun felt in a trance that the qiē that had just happened was just a dream.

The first kiss in her life, but unfortunately she didn't have time to feel whether it was as moving as described in the book, the initiator had already withdrawn, as if nothing had happened just now.

Mo Chaoyun covered his lips in shock, glared at Chiba with a calm face, and said, "Don't you think you should say something?" ”

He innocently asked, "What should I say?" Very soft? Smelly? ”

Mo Chaoyun's face was crimson, but he said angrily: "You just despised me, you are embarrassed to pretend to be serious!" ”

He first hummed, and then said: "If you are unintentional to me, it is called lightness, but since you are interested in me, it should be called mutual affection." ”
