98 And the things returned to their rightful owners
When Chu Qingluo followed Chu Yilin to appear in the wing room of Yibin Pavilion, Ji Qiran looked quite surprised. "Why are you here?" He asked in a strange tone.
Chu Qingluo looked at him soberly, and didn't seem to be drinking...... only to realize that he was deceived by Chu Yilin. She glared at Chu Yilin fiercely before replying, "I have something to tell you." ”
"Ahem." Chu Yilin cleared his throat. "You talk slowly, I'll take a walk outside." After speaking, he walked out of the door very acquaintedly, and when he was about to close the door, he didn't forget to add a sentence: "You must have a good chat, don't worry about me." "He made a point of emphasizing the word 'good', and that's why he closed the door.
Ji Qiran stared at Chu Qingluo, pretending to be relaxed and asked, "Aren't you busy getting others started, why are you still free to come to me?" ”
Hearing the jealousy in his tone, Chu Qingluo knew that he had to make it clear to him today no matter what. She walked up to him, took out a jade pendant from her waist, and handed it to him: "This thing...... The goods are returned to their rightful owners. ”
Ji Qiran's eyes lit up suddenly when she saw that the white smooth thing in her hand turned out to be her own Pixiu jade pendant. Quickly take it and look at the front and back carefully. "Why are you here?"
“…… I'm ashamed to say it. Chu Qingluo smiled embarrassedly: "This jade pendant was actually found in the sandalwood box next to my makeup.
"You mean, found it in your room?" Ji Qiran raised his eyebrows in disbelief, as if he remembered something, and smiled ambiguously: "It should have been picked up in Heqing Courtyard." However, at your ...... It makes sense. He alluded to her secretly hiding his belongings.
Chu Qingluo ignored him, pretended not to understand, and continued: "You also know that I have amnesia, so I don't know why I am here...... Anyway, I apologize to you first. ”
The corners of Ji Qiran's mouth hooked: "No need to apologize, maybe this is the will of God." After speaking, he handed the jade pendant back to her.
She didn't understand what he meant, so she looked at him suspiciously, but didn't answer.
Ji Qiran put the jade pendant on the table instead, and then untied the piece on his waist, put the two jade pendants next to each other, and said, "Take a closer look at the difference between these two jade pendants?" ”
Chu Qingluo picked it up and compared it, and found that the one he had hidden was a single-horned Pixiu, and the one that Ji Qiran was wearing now was a double-horned Pixiu. "They have different numbers of horns on their heads."
"Well, that's right." Ji Qiran nodded: "According to legend, a single horn is a pixie, and it is a male beast; The two horns are the female. In other words, these two jade pendants were originally a pair. After speaking, he looked at her with hot eyes and said softly: "So, this jade pendant is destined to belong to you." ”
After hearing his words, she was stunned...... Gently put the two jade pendants back on the table, and said slightly: "I can't accept it." ”
"Why?" Ji Qiran frowned, and asked again: "Didn't what I said last time clear enough?" ”
"No, I didn't make it clear."
Seeing her show this solemn expression again, Ji Qiran turned his face away, not wanting to look at her eyes. Whispered, "Don't say it." ”
"I'm here today to make things clear." Chu Qingluo didn't care if Ji Qiran wanted to hear it or not, and insisted on saying, "Thank you for what you said to me by the waterfall before...... But I can't accept it. ”
Ji Qiran looked at her hurt and asked, "Qingluo, do you know what what you mean by what you say now?" ”
Why did she push him away from her over and over again?
“…… I know. "I'm afraid no one knows better than herself.
He laughed to himself and asked, "There's always a reason, right?" ”
Chu Qingluo sighed lightly and said, "Ji Qiran, you are indeed the most handsome man in Yancheng, but this is not the most important ...... to me" She paused, and then said: "Between people, I'm afraid it is still necessary to follow fate." ”
Although she believes that fate is to be fought for by herself, in order to draw a clear line with him, it is the same no matter how she says it.
"Fate, you say?" He questioned: "Is it true that we have been close for so many years?" ”
Chu Qingluo gasped: "Okay, then let me say so." When I want to go east, you want to go west; I want to go west now, and you want to go east again...... It can only be said that we have not been on the same pace all the time, and it is inevitable that we will miss each other. ”
Ji Qiran looked at her silently, and her words pierced his heart like thousands of sharp arrows...... Although he knew that everything was to blame, his heart still hurt so much that he couldn't breathe!
After a long time, he tried to speak: "...... I still want to redeem you. ”
"I'm sorry."
Seeing his hurt expression like this, her heart was full of unbearable, and even a little heartache. But when she is constantly interrupted, she must be resolute and cruel!
Seeing that he stopped talking, Chu Qingluo said softly, "I'll go back first." ”
He still didn't say anything, didn't look at her, and put a beautiful stone sculpture on it.
When she walked to the door, she still felt that there was something she needed to mention, so she turned around and said, "When the Holy Lord gave you to Pan Yin, Peony broke her heart, racked her brains and ran around, silently wanting to help you...... Such a good woman, I hope you don't let it down. With that, she pushed the door open and went out.
Chu Yilin, who had been waiting in the corridor, saw Chu Qingluo come out, his face was very pale, so he stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
An ugly smile tugged at the corner of her mouth, and she replied, "It's okay, the second brother should accompany the Seventh Prince well." ”
"But your face looks bad, why don't I send you back first?" Chu Yilin was really worried about her.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Chu Qingluo cheered up and waved his hand casually: "Let's go—"
"......" Chu Yilin had no choice but to watch her leave.
After coming out of Yibin Pavilion, this seemed to be the first time that Chu Qingluo had wandered around Yancheng alone. At this time, how good would it be if you could watch a movie with He Yun and Mo Mo, K a round of songs, and then get drunk until the next day?
But everything is gone.
She still remembers the sign she asked for in the temple of the goddess - the water flows to the east, why not ask it to return to the west. Too much reminiscence of the past will only add to the sadness.
She didn't go back to the famous clothing shop directly, but chose to go to the pastry shop opened by the Chu family to fill her stomach, packed a box of snacks, and then went in the direction of the Goddess Temple.
