Suddenly bumped into a wide embrace, which was not warm or even a little cold, even so, it was definitely very reassuring for Xia Xue'er! The sudden happiness made her stunned for a while, and she suddenly stopped sobbing, but after she reacted, she cried directly, but this time she was extremely happy!

He loves himself! He loves himself!

Xia Xue'er told herself such a fact over and over again in her heart, and told herself such an incredible thing...... It's really, really happy!

"Fool, I'm very happy to be your senior brother in this life, but how can I be willing to be only your senior brother?" Can't you see the affection for you all these years? Su Qi silently added a sentence in his heart.

"Woo woo woo~"

Xia Xue'er cried even harder, and finally said it, the years of missing him, the inner entanglement this year, can finally be revealed, from now on, she no longer has to hide it!

Happiness came so suddenly, she wasn't ready.

Su Qi gently touched the head of the person in his arms, and said jokingly: "If you cry again, the lake here will rise, and the fish will be drowned!" "How much grievances has this girl suffered, how can she seem to have endless tears. It's all because he was too timid, maybe he wouldn't have cried like this if he took the initiative earlier!

"Poof~"

Listening to her senior brother's joke, Xia Xue'er snorted and burst into laughter, raised her head and glanced at Su Qi with disgust, and then buried her head in his arms. Today she doesn't think about anything to worry about, she just wants to lean quietly in his arms, listen to his heartbeat, and beat for herself.

In fact, Su Qi is a person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, he is not good at expressing his thoughts, and it can be said that he disdains to express his thoughts, in the eyes of outsiders, he may feel that he is a little cold and cold who does not eat the fireworks of the world, but when Xia Xueer saw him for the first time, she knew that this person was actually more affectionate and righteous than anyone else, and he could stick a knife in the ribs for the person he loved more than anyone else. It's just that his aura around him is cold, and he always has a posture of rejecting people thousands of miles away, so few people dare to get close to him, in the huge Netherworld Valley, except for himself and Senior Brother Zhang, no one among the rest of the disciples dares to call him a brother, they all respect him and fear him, and the loneliness in that eye may only be understood by those close to him!

I still remember the first time we met, he knocked her unconscious, and then treated her like a sack full of goods, carried directly back to the Netherworld, which looked simple and rough, but in fact it was extremely intimate and gentle in the details. In the following year, every time the two met, Xia Xueer was trying to tease him, often making him look good. However, with his skills, it is impossible not to detect the slightly clumsy little tricks of his junior sister, but he has all walked into the trap set by himself without exception. Before, Xia Xue'er was secretly happy, until an episode happened half a year ago, she realized that she had been pretending to be smart before, in fact, those little tricks senior brother had long known it. It's not unmoved in my heart, but I just admonish myself, stupidly thinking that this is the punishment he deserves, who let him a big man always bully himself!

Maybe even Xia Xue'er herself doesn't know that the prank that was originally designed just to get angry has unconsciously become a way to attract attention and a habit that is difficult to quit.

"Senior Sister ......"

"It's called Cher!" As soon as Su Qi spoke, he was corrected by Xia Xue'er's righteous words.

Also, Su Qi smiled slightly, this title should be changed, "Xue...... Xue'er ......, "Although it's still a little unpleasant, it's okay to be awkward and awkward......

"Huh?"

"Don't worry, after I ask for the master, I will do my best to come to the door to propose!"

Su Qi's eyes were extremely firm when he said this, and even his tone implied a kind of resoluteness to swear a poisonous oath, and Xia Xue'er was full of thoughts in her heart after listening to it. On the one hand, she is very happy to be able to marry the person she loves, which is the wish of all women in the world, and it is also what she has always insisted on. But on the other hand, she was deeply worried, just because she had promised Mu Feiyang earlier that she would not marry until she helped him gain power.

"Senior Brother......" Although she didn't know how to speak, she still had to make it clear after all, so after a moment of entanglement, Xia Xue'er finally made up her mind to speak: "Don't worry about proposing marriage in advance, let's take our time." ”

Su Qi didn't know why, and asked, "Why?" Since we are happy with each other, we should be together! Could it be ...... You don't want to ...... Marry me? ”

"No, no, no!" Xia Xue'er hurriedly waved her hand and denied it, how could she not want to marry him! But she couldn't tell the truth, this matter was a secret agreement between her and Mu Feiyang, so she had to lie: "Marriage, it's a bondage, the responsibilities on your body and the burden on your shoulders will be a lot heavier after getting married, I don't want to tie you up all day long, so that you can't live as freely and freely as you are now." ”

No matter how wooden Su Qi was, he had long been accustomed to paying attention to his junior sister's every move, but she paused for a moment before she said this, not only her eyes were a little fluttering, but her breath was not very steady when she spoke, it was more like a lie. Suddenly, a faint sense of loss rose in his heart, since when did his junior sister, who never lied to herself, also learned to lie? But why is the junior sister lying?

"Are you hiding something from me?" Su Qi pulled his junior sister's shoulders, looked directly into her slightly nervous eyes, and asked sincerely.

Although he was determined not to do anything out of the ordinary before getting married, he knew that his name was not right, and he also knew what a clean reputation meant to a girl. He just wants to take care of his sister as soon as possible, but why does she have to prevent him from coming to the door to propose?

Looking at Su Qi's sincere and expectant eyes, Xia Xue'er was very entangled in her heart.

Should I keep my promise with Mu Feiyang and keep this secret, or sincerely confess to my beloved?

Rational she said: People are not transparent, who doesn't have a little secret? As the in-law of the Xia family and the deputy valley master of the Netherworld Valley, you should have the integrity and quality that are difficult to chase after in a word! If you have made a promise, how can you not keep it?

She said emotionally: Whether it is Miss Qianjin or the deputy valley owner, no matter what her identity is, in the final analysis, she is just a little woman, and a woman should put her husband and family first, how can she lose trust between husband and wife?

Rational, she countered: Women are also human beings, and they must love themselves! What's more, who said that a little secret between husband and wife is considered a loss of trust? Mu Feiyang is a dignified man, he agreed to you when you negotiated terms with him, how can you break your trust with him?! Besides, you and Su Qi are not married yet, and they are not husband and wife!

Sensual she argued not to be outdone: Mu Feiyang only said that he couldn't let outsiders know about the agreement between the two of you, could it be that it has come to this point, do you still regard your Senior Brother Su Qi as an outsider? Or do you mean that you can't trust your Senior Brother Su Qi in your heart?

……

The two in her mind became more and more intense, and she finally got into a big fight because of a verbal disagreement!

Ahh!!hhhhh Xia Xue'er shook her head in annoyance, and the two villains who were inseparable from each other disappeared in an instant, and they were entangled for a long time. No! You still have to rely on yourself.

Xia Xue'er raised her head to meet Su Qi's eyes, from beginning to end, those eyes had been staring at her firmly, and the tension in her eyes was even much thicker than her own!

If one lie is told, another lie is needed to come true, and the cycle repeats, and one day, the simple and happy life between them will be filled with thousands of lies, and the original frank and unwavering feelings will no longer exist. She knew that she couldn't hide it from her senior brother, and she didn't want to continue to hide it, but she was afraid of causing him to misunderstand, so she carefully considered the words and replied: "I promised a friend within two years...... I won't marry ......"

Hearing this, Su Qi frowned vigilantly and asked, "Who is it?" Looking at the senior sister's expression of wanting to speak and stopping, she couldn't help but guess again: "Is it Murong Zetao?" ”

"No, no, no!" Xia Xue'er hurriedly waved her hand to deny. Senior brother originally looked at Murong Zetao unpleasantly, saying that good and evil are not mutually exclusive, if he really misunderstood her, then he didn't look for Murong Zetao to fight for 300 rounds!

No, no, it's terrible!

Gritted his teeth and thought about it, and decided that it would be better to tell the truth.

"Yes...... Mu Feiyang. ”

"Who?"

Mu Xuanlong's pseudonym Mu Feiyang was just to facilitate his activities outside the palace and to make some friends who were useful to his seizure of power. But this so-called friend is only limited to the second generation of powerful officials who are powerful or about to be powerful, and people like Su Qi are naturally not within the scope of his wooing. And Su Qi is a Jianghu person, so he is naturally very unfamiliar with the name Mu Feiyang. I was stunned for a while, how could my junior sister agree to such a condition from such a guy who came out of nowhere?

"Mu Feiyang is the sixth son of the emperor of the current dynasty, and he is ambitious, so the emperor is quite jealous of him, except for the prince who gave him an empty name on the face of his mother, he has never dared to give him any real power, nor has he ever reused him, but with his temperament and heart, how can he be willing to spend his life like this?"

"So he's trying to woo you?"

"Yes, he has always had a close relationship with his eldest brother, and the eldest brother often helps him secretly, and many of these things are done through his elder brother. A month ago, he suddenly came to the door to propose marriage in person," Xia Xue'er said this, and hurriedly glanced at Su Qi, although there was no superfluous expression on his face, but the pupils contracted suddenly, obviously angry, so he hurriedly said: "This is something that no one expected, I swear, although I have seen him a few times before, I have never given him a good face every time we meet, so he will come to the door to propose, and he definitely doesn't have any thoughts about me!" You can rest assured of this. ”

"But that's why it's harder, isn't it?" Since it is not her person who wants to get it, it must be her right! Not long after Xia Xue'er took over the position of deputy valley master of the Netherworld Valley, he came to the door to propose marriage, which is not unreasonable! A river and lake, a court, such a princess has never been seen since ancient times!

"It is precisely because his purpose is so simple and explicit that I have the opportunity to negotiate with him, although the Xia family cannot be pushed off this family matter mentioned by the royal family, but it can be postponed or even canceled, but the premise is that in the next two years, I have to bear the title of quasi-princess, so I can't ...... Marry someone else......"

Su Qi has already figured out the cause and effect of the matter, and judging from his understanding of Xia Xue'er for many years, she would rather marry a husband than marry a prince and nobleman, because she often says: If she marries into a powerful family, Xia Xue'er is no longer Xia Xue'er! At the moment, what she is worried about is the two-year period, why is it two years? What a dangerous thing to do in the seizure of power, two years? Is it possible?

Xia Xue'er saw that Su Qi was still frowning, looking thoughtful, thinking that he was still angry, so she rubbed it into his arms and said coquettishly: "Senior brother, you have to believe me, and you have to believe in yourself!" My heart ...... you"

"Why two years?" Su Qi didn't notice her gentle offensive at all, and suddenly asked, he was afraid that his junior sister would stupidly agree to Mu Feiyang's additional conditions, so he had to ask clearly, and he had a bottom in his heart.

"Huh? What the? Xia Xue'er was stunned for a moment, Senior Brother Fang Cai seemed to ask her why it was two years? But why do you ask this? Could it be that he thinks two years is a long time and can't wait?

"Why two years? What other conditions did you promise him? Su Qi opened his mouth and repeated.

Looking at his nervous expression, Xia Xue'er suddenly understood what senior brother was really worried about. Unconsciously remembered the scene when I negotiated with Mu Feiyang that night, and I was unconsciously apprehensive, it is impossible to say that there is no grievance, but there are some things that should not be worried about the senior brother!

He smiled slightly and said, "Xue'er finally learned the true feelings of her senior brother today, can't we enjoy this beautiful spring?" ”

"But ......"

Xia Xue'er launched a gentle offensive again, and before Su Qi could finish speaking, she directly blocked her mouth, "Oops! Get rid of all the worries and everything! Xue'er doesn't want to talk about that, she just wants to lean quietly next to her senior brother, okay! ”

Su Qi had never seen such a little bird-like junior sister, and her smile was full of happiness and expectation, so she nodded with a doting smile and replied, "Okay!" It's up to you! ”

The two sat on the ground on the plank road, without words, all in the clear water and blue sky, in the soft spring breeze, and in the intoxicating fragrance of peach blossoms......

A gust of wind blew from behind, and the petals mixed with it swirled and fell, gently lying on the hair and shoulders of Su Qi and Xia Xue'er, as if the peach forest was also happy for them, and specially sent a flower rain to celebrate this happy moment.

In this peach forest rain, in front of the clear water and green mountains, Xia Xue'er, who was nestled in Su Qi's arms, slowly closed her eyes, and the sweet dream once again wrapped her overflowing happiness.

Suddenly, Xia Xue'er's whole body was excited, and in the dark, it seemed that a pair of eyes were watching her.
