Chapter Twenty-Five: Covenants
In the restaurant where Wangjun came, Dongfang Wanglong and Qiu Shuiling chose a window position to sit down, and after ordering, the two fell into an awkward silence.
"Wanglong, why did you go last night, you were actually late today, it's only been a few days since school started?" Qiu Shuiling felt uncomfortable in this embarrassing silence, and took the lead in speaking.
"It's nothing, I just went to do something. Wanglong's answer was a little vague.
Qiu Shuiling glanced at him, and his eyes couldn't help but dim.
"Don't worry, I'm not so prone to accidents, but you'd better pay attention to your image. Seeing Qiu Shuiling's expression, Wanglong didn't know what she was thinking.
"Of course, I'm a teacher, and I still need you kid to point fingers?" Qiu Shuiling regained his usual charming demeanor and smiled at Wanglong.
Wanglong rolled his eyes, his fingers lightly tapped on the table, as if thinking about something, and the scene fell silent again.
"Hey, here's the dish. The little second in the restaurant shouted, holding a large plate in his hand, stopped at the table of the two, and put the delicacies on the plate.
"Let's move the chopsticks, Mr. Qiu. Wanglong said and poured him a glass of wine.
Seeing Wanglong's casual appearance, Qiu Shuiling's heart twitched slightly: "Wanglong, are you still thinking about Mu Yaoyu?"
Dongfang Wanglong's hand pouring wine stopped slightly, and then he simply nodded generously.
"Although Mu Yaoyun is only the second son of the city lord of Wind and Rain City, after all, he is also the biological son of the city lord, you are still young, don't cause a big disaster on the spur of the moment. Qiu Shuiling looked at Wanglong with concern.
"The matter between me and Mu Yaoyong is not the one that I took over today. Wanglong said and poured himself a glass, "Let me tell you how I made a feud with him." ”
After a while, Wanglong and Qiu Shuiling made it clear that they had just come to Wind and Rain City and what happened in Mingcui Tower, and Qiu Shuiling was also indignant after hearing it.
"I have long heard that Mu Yaoyong's reputation is not very good, but I didn't expect him to do so many hurtful things in nowhere. Sighing slightly, Qiu Shuiling's eyes were slightly red, "It's just a pity for that girl and her old mother." ”
Looking at Qiu Shuiling's appearance, Wanglong's heart moved slightly, and a smile crossed the corner of his mouth: "Teacher Qiu, this is for you." As he spoke, he took out a sapphire and gold-trimmed bracelet from the Great Freedom Forging Space.
This is a whim after building two pieces of equipment last night, using the remaining leftovers to build.
"What?" Qiu Shuiling was stunned, "Why did you send it to me...... Gifts?"
Wanglong closed his eyes and thought for a while: "Because you taught me the ripples of water, if I don't thank you for such a subtle skill, I can't help it." ”
Suspiciously took the bracelet, Qiu Shuiling's cheeks flushed slightly, and he said worriedly: "How do I feel that you have ulterior motives." ”
Hearing this, Wanglong simply nodded: "What if I really have ulterior motives?"
Qiu Shuiling's face suddenly sprinkled with red ink on the white rice paper, and the shame spread to the root of his ears: "Then I don't want it." As he spoke, he really put the bracelet down and turned his head.
Looking at her shy appearance, Wanglong suddenly stared at Qiu Shuiling as if he had discovered a new continent: "Hey, Teacher Qiu is also shy?"
Qiu Shuiling turned his head away from him and didn't make a sound.
Gently pulling up Qiu Shui's boneless little hand, feeling the constant tremor from her fingertips, Wanglong put the bracelet on her wrist.
"This is my gift to you, and I hope you will take it. Looking at her side face, Wanglong said seriously.
Qiu Shuiling couldn't put on any charming appearance anymore, and he didn't even dare to look at Wanglong's eyes.
"I want you to be yourself. ”
Qiu Shuiling was curious at this time, and asked Wanglong, "What do you mean?"
"You were born into a family with very strict family rules, and since you became an adult, you have refused to marry from other families, and even fled from your family to start a new life. ”
"However, you are just a woman, and you have been found by your family several times, and finally settled to be a teacher in Wind and Rain City, and at the same time, you are also dealing with your family. ”
"Growing up in that environment, you didn't have any friends, you didn't know how to get along with the opposite sex, let alone men and women, because the family protected you too well. Wanglong watched her gradually sad expression and slowed down his speech.
"So in order to disguise yourself, you make a charming state of life, am I right?"
When Qiu Shuiling heard this, he couldn't help but recall the past in his heart, and Allure's face was full of pathos at the moment: "It's me who is not enough...... Is it pretty, so easy to see?"
"No, the real charm is not like you, anyone with a discerning eye can see that you are just pretending, but it is enough to deal with the students in the academy and cope with life. Wanglong said lightly.
"Actually, you hate that kind of self in your heart, otherwise you wouldn't have changed your words just now, because you are not ashamed to say such words. Wanglong stared into her eyes.
"Hmph. Qiu Shuiling's face turned cold, "So, what do you want to say, to laugh at me? or to show that you are very smart? No matter which one I congratulate you, you did it!"
With that, she stood up and was about to leave.
"I mean you need someone, someone who can stand by your side when you need it and solve all your troubles for you!" Wanglong's words stunned Qiu Shuiling on the spot.
"That's right, you don't have to be so tired. ”
Qiu Shuiling looked at Wanglong in a daze, reached out and touched the bracelet on his wrist for a long time, and then slowly sat down and looked at Wanglong seriously.
"Although I am indeed very handsome, I have been looked at by a beauty of your level for a long time, and I am still a bit of a deer. Dongfang Wanglong said cheekily.
Qiu Shuiling didn't have a smile on her face at the moment, she looked at him with a serious face.
"Wanglong, I understand your intentions, but you also saw it last time, my family is really not that simple. ”
"My family is a behemoth in the imperial capital, and this time the family married me off for the benefit of the family. ”
"I'm sorry, I don't want you to get in trouble at a young age because of me. ”
"It's my fault, I shouldn't have come out with you today......" Qiu Shuiling said more and more in her voice, and slowly she held her forehead and choked a little.
"Interests, compared to a strong man, how do you think your family will choose?" Wanglong moved his chair back, his face full of confidence at this moment.
"Strong, what level does it depend on...... If you can reach the gold level before the age of 20, maybe my family will think about it. Qiu Shuiling looked at Wanglong's confident face, and somehow felt a little confident in his heart.
"Okay, let's decide, as long as you give me three years, I will come to your family when I reach the golden level, and I believe that I can be your dependence. ”
Wanglong's words were like a sledgehammer striking on Qiu Shuiling's heart, and his throat began to choke for a while, and he was a little at a loss.
But, is this the feeling that someone can rely on, down-to-earth, rest assured, even if the other party is just a teenager, but looking at his tall figure, it seems that he has found his own home.
Qiu Shuiling just wanted to nod, but when she thought of the wedding half a year later, the words that came to her mouth were swallowed, and she changed her words: "Yes, I believe you, but you have to reach the same strength as me first, and then it will be more convincing to follow me, right?"
Stunned for a moment, Wanglong smiled dumbly: Yes, why did you write a blank check?
The next time was spent in the two of them pushing the cup and changing the lamp, and after the wine and food were full, Qiu Shuiling took the lead in returning to the academy, this time she learned to be smart and did not drink a lot of wine, otherwise she would be carried back by Wanglong again......
After all, it's an academy, and it's not very good to be looked at.
Qiu Shuiling returned to her independent office, Mu Yaoyun was long gone, and after she locked the door to make sure that there was no one lurking around, tears welled up in her eyes.
"I'm sorry Wanglong, forgive me, I can't...... I can't be because of my selfishness...... Hurt you. ”
......
"What? You're telling the truth?"
Mu Jinglei looked at Mu Yaoyun in the lower position of the hall, and his face was a little surprised.
"Father, I'm not lying, Dongfang Wanglong and Qiu Shuiling are in the office!
Mu Yao's face was hideous, and his vicious tone seemed as if he really couldn't stand it.
According to the reaction of other teachers in the college, Dongfang Wanglong did carry Teacher Qiu to the academy some time ago, and Teacher Qiu was obviously drunk at that time. Mu Feng stood beside Mu Jinglei and whispered.
"I've been busy with Xishan's affairs recently, and the academy hasn't had time to take care of it, so I can't imagine such an immoral thing!" Mu Jinglei put the cup in his hand on the table.
"Peng!"
Seeing that his father was obviously really angry, Mu Yaoyu's face did not show it, and his heart was already happy.
"But Qiu Shuiling, she is the ...... of the imperial capital" Mu Feng didn't finish speaking, and looked at Mu Jinglei with his eyes, which was self-evident.
"Qiu Shuiling, we can't help it, Dongfang Wanglong, we can't deal with it yet...... Phew, punish him?" Mu Yaoyu almost said in his mouth.
Mu Feng and Mu Jinglei looked at each other and nodded their heads......
