After a sleepless night, Dark Cloud quietly kept watch outside Dongfangdu's house all night, until the sky was white, and then he returned to his room. Winter night, the night is as cold as water, although there is internal strength to resist the cold, the whole body is still as cold as iron, dragging the tired body, back to his room, not even taking off his clothes, just lying down on the bed. I didn't know that I lay down for a moment, and then there was a knock on the door.

"Yun'er, are you awake?" Dongfangdu, who had no dreams and slept all night in Chu Mi's arms, got up early. first knocked on Dongfang Lingwu's door, woke Dongfang Lingwu up, and then knocked on the door of Dark Cloud.

When Dark Cloud heard that it was Dongfang Lingwu, he forcibly propped up his tired body and opened the door. Dongfangdu, who was waiting outside the door, didn't hear any answer from the dark cloud in the house, thinking that the dark cloud was still asleep, and was struggling with whether to let the dark cloud continue to fall asleep or continue to knock on the door to wake her up, so he heard the sound of the door opening.

Looking at the tiredness in Dark Cloud's eyes, Dongfang Du couldn't bear it, and suppressed the distress, "You were tired from traveling yesterday, right?" Why don't you sleep a little longer? After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave.

"Degree", Dark Cloud looked at Dongfang Du, who was unwilling to stay with him for a while, and suddenly felt empty in his heart, and couldn't help but stop Dongfang Du, looked at Dongfang Du's back, and asked, "Last night, did you sleep well?" ”

Dongfang Du froze in place, didn't answer for a long time, and finally turned around with a gentle smile on his face, "I slept well." ”

'That gentle smile, is it because of your senior sister?' Dongfangdu's laughter stung Dark Cloud's heart, and Dark Cloud looked stunned, distracted.

"Is there anything else Yun'er wants to ask?" Looking at the stunned dark clouds, Dongfang Du pressed the pain in his chest, "If there is nothing to ask, you can go back to bed and sleep for a while." I'll ask the shopkeeper to make some food, and I'll bring it to you later. ”

It was clearly a gentle smile and caring words, but Dark Cloud didn't feel the slightest warmth, shook his head, "No" After speaking, he turned around and slowly walked behind the screen, and lay down on the bed, without even closing the door.

Seeing that Dark Cloud returned to the bed without looking back, the light smile on Dongfang Du's face faded instantly, sighed silently, and gently closed the door of Dark Cloud.

It was still early, and there was only the shopkeeper in the lobby who was boringly wiping the table, and there was not a single customer. Dongfangdu, who went downstairs, glanced at the lobby, and finally his eyes fell on the shopkeeper, who was rubbing his head on the table, and didn't notice that there were guests standing at the staircase at this time and watching himself work.

"Little Er, is there an early breakfast in the inn?" Dongfang Du saw that the shopkeeper had not turned around, so he asked.

"Guest officer, why did you get up so early?" When the shopkeeper heard the voice behind him, he hurriedly turned around, and when he saw that it was Dongfangdu, he greeted him with a smile, "What do you want to eat?" ”

Dongfang Du thought that Dark Cloud Su liked to be light, and he mostly drank porridge for breakfast, so he asked, "Is there porridge?" ”

"Yes, yes," the shopkeeper nodded, "The back kitchen just cooked a pot of millet porridge"

Dongfang Du asked the shopkeeper to serve four bowls of millet porridge and four dishes of side dishes, and personally served them upstairs. Dongfang Du, who was standing in front of the door of the dark cloud room, stared at the door of the dark cloud room in a daze for a long time, looked down at the porridge on the tray, and finally turned around and walked towards Dongfang Lingwu's room.

Dongfang Du pushed the door directly into Dongfang Lingwu's room without knocking, and saw that she had already gotten up and was freshening up, so he said, "Lingwu, I put the porridge and side dishes on the table, and you can eat it when you wash it." ”

Dongfang Lingwu, who was twisting his face with both hands, turned his head to see the tray in Dongfang Du's hand, and asked suspiciously, "How did you do the work of the second child in this shop?" Are you going to send us breakfast one by one? ”

Dongfang Du smiled shyly, "I'll send it to my senior sister first, you can eat it quickly, the porridge won't taste good when it's cold." With that, he turned around and walked out the door.

Seeing three bowls of porridge on Dongfangdu's tray, "Why don't you send it to Dark Cloud first, isn't her room the closest?" Dongfang Lingwu muttered to himself suspiciously, and then the corners of his mouth rose, "It seems that I am the most important, I know to send the porridge to my room first." He hung the wrung out handkerchief on the shelf, walked to the table and sat down, and drank the porridge with a smile on his face.

Dongfang Du turned his head to look at the room next to Dark Cloud, turned his head back to his room, gently put the tray on the table, turned his head and saw Chu Mi who was still sleeping on the bed, walked to the bedside, bent down, came to Chu Mi's eyes, and said softly: "Senior sister, get up and have breakfast." I'll bring you breakfast to your room. ”

Chu Mi opened his eyes slightly, looking at Dongfangdu who was close at hand, as if he had returned to his old life, how long had he not been woken up by Dongfangdu in the morning? It's been more than a year. This year, Chu Mi was alone on the rivers and lakes. Since Dongfang Du returned to the palace, Chu Mi has never been with his senior brother Fang Huiting again, and the three of them suddenly became one person. It seems that it has been a long time since I left Wuya Mountain, and I really want to go back soon. ’

Chu Mi raised his hand and touched Dongfangdu's cheek, the real touch, "It's good, it's good." Smiled slightly, such a day is what I want most.

Dongfang Du moved his face away, straightened up, and said with a smile: "Senior sister, get up quickly." I'll drink porridge with you in a moment. After speaking, he walked to the table and brought two bowls of millet porridge and side dishes to the table, "There is also a bowl of porridge, I will send it to Yun'er, and I will come back in a while." ”

Holding the tray in both hands, he walked step by step to the room of the dark clouds, and at this time there was only a bowl of millet porridge and a plate of side dishes left in the tray. Stopping in front of the door of the dark cloud, taking a deep breath, Dongfang Du raised his hand and gently clasped it twice, pushed the door and walked in, and gently placed the tray on the table without making a sound.

There was no sound behind the screen, and through the screen, I couldn't see what the dark cloud looked like on the bed at this time. In the past, it seemed that dark clouds suddenly appeared in his room, squatting in front of his bed like a child and looking at himself.

Dongfang Du tightened his hands and walked towards the screen step by step. After hesitating for a moment, he finally chose to bypass the screen and walked to the bed of the dark cloud.

Dark Cloud turned sideways and hugged the quilt, his face was buried in the quilt, his clothes were not taken off, and he did not turn his head to look at Dongfangdu, indicating that he was sleeping peacefully, otherwise he would not even Dongfangdu did not react in front of her bed. Dongfang Du learned from the dark clouds in the past, squatted down, put his hands on the edge of the bed, and quietly looked at the person on the bed.

"Yun'er" called softly, but the person on the bed did not react at all, "It turns out that squatting to watch your beloved sleep is such a feeling." "This is the first time that Dongfang Du has squatted in front of the bed like a dark cloud, "It turns out that he grabbed the edge of the bed with both hands because he wanted to get close but couldn't. ”

How many times, Dark Cloud grabbed the edge of the bed with both hands and looked at Dongfangdu's sleeping face, how many times did he just watch quietly and then quietly left. Countless times, Dongfang Du himself doesn't know how many times Dark Cloud will secretly look at himself who has fallen asleep.

Quietly looked at the back of the dark cloud for a long time, sighed lightly, and said slowly with helplessness in his tone: "Yun'er, I am so conflicted. What do you think I'm going to do with you? Dark Cloud fell asleep peacefully, Dongfang Du's eyebrows furrowed slightly, his eyes were entangled, reluctant and painful, as if he was asking Dark Cloud and seemed to be asking himself.

It was quiet and silent again, and after a while, Dongfang Du sighed silently, got up slowly, looked at the dark cloud on the bed reluctantly, turned around, and left without looking back, but she didn't know that at the moment she turned around, the dark cloud turned around, and her eyes were full of tears.

"I know you're haunted by the events of your past life, but I really didn't want to kill you, so why don't you want to believe me? I'd rather die myself than take your life. Tears couldn't stop falling, "You are the prince, I am the secret guard, I want to be with you, but I don't feel worthy of you." I wanted to quietly guard you all my life, but I didn't expect that in the end, you would die at my hands. Do you know how much my heart hurts? You know that the contradictions in my heart were even more than yours. ”

"Have you never believed that I love you?" Closed his eyes, "Yes, for seven years, I only said that I liked Brother Du, but I never told you that I love you, how would you know that I love you, and how would you know that I went to kill you just to protect you and give you a chance to escape......

Dark Cloud wanted to say these words to Dongfangdu, but she was afraid that she would ignore herself if she knew that she was following and knew that she was not the thirteen-year-old child. If you explain, I'm afraid that if you just say a word, Dongfang Du will turn around and leave, and never see him again in this life.

Several people finished their breakfast, settled the bill, left the inn, and rushed to Wuya Mountain. Two days later, I finally arrived at the foot of Wuya Mountain at the junction of Yongzhou and Yuzhou.

Wuya Mountain is just an ordinary mountain, just a way up the mountain, only one, and Wuyazi has set up nine interlocking gossip maze at the only intersection, and only the four masters and apprentices know the way to pass the formation.

"Ling Wu, get off the horse, you can only walk up the mountain." Dongfang Du, who turned over and jumped off the horse, raised his head and said to Dongfang Lingwu, after speaking, he turned his head to look at Chu Mi and Dark Cloud, who had already dismounted, and turned around to help Dongfang Lingwu off the horse.
