Under the light, Wang Xijue knelt on one knee in front of Ji Ling.

A qiē is taken for granted, just like the plots of countless fairy tales in ancient and modern China and abroad, according to the established routine: at Snow White's coming-of-age ceremony, the prince knelt down on one knee to propose, the princess accepted it with a happy face, and then the prince and the princess were happily together......

The garden burst into applause, and the guests were touched by the scene.

"When Xijue and Ling'er were children, I said that they were a natural pair, and they were the golden boy and jade girl of our hunter world, but I didn't expect to be able to witness this scene with my own eyes today. I wish you all happiness. ”

"In the future, the Ji family will have Xijue, a fast son-in-law who rides the dragon, but I am afraid that I will move forward in the Seven Great Hunter Families, which is really gratifying."

An old man congratulated Mrs. Ji and said: "Over the years, I have watched Chengxian work hard for the Ji family, and today I don't even have time to participate in my daughter's eighteen-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, it's really too hard. ”

"Old Zhao, accept your auspicious words."

Old Lady Ji smiled from ear to ear, looking at Ji Ling and Xijue's eyes full of relief.

Ling'er has no mother since she was a child, she is a poor child, and Xijue grew up under the nose of Mrs. Ji, her character, family background, and ability are outstanding, and the Gusu royal family is also one of the few hunters in the hunter world who can be worthy of the Qingchuan Ji family.

Thinking like this, Mrs. Ji smiled even more.

"Ling'er, promise Xijue."

"Don't be shy, Ling'er, we'll support you!"

"Xijue is so handsome, Ling'er, if I were you, I would have knelt down and proposed to him, haha......"

Everyone saw that Ji Ling had been blushing and biting his lip, and did not respond to Wang Xijue's marriage proposal, thinking that this little girl was a little shy, after all, she had just turned eighteen years old today, and their coaxing voices were even more enthusiastic, as if they were going to lift the transparent dome of the garden.

One second, ten seconds, thirty seconds......

The commotion slowly stopped.

Because everyone noticed that something was wrong.

Ji Ling didn't have a happy expression, his little face turned white, and he bit his lip tightly.

Very early, Ji Ling knew that she was born with the task of marrying the Ji family in Qingchuan and the Wang family in Gusu.

In the past, Ji Ling didn't think there was anything bad about being Xijue's brother's wife, because Xijue couldn't say enough about her for three days and three nights, this is a boy who occupies all the colors of her childhood. Childhood sweethearts, two little guesses, that's probably it.

Now, that day has truly come.

Wang Xijue knelt down on one knee and placed the ring on her ring finger, which symbolized the connection of the heart.

"Let's get engaged, Ling'er." Wang Xijue said.

Ji Ling's body trembled, and her heart was suddenly so nervous, not because of this sudden happiness tension, she did not have the happiness she imagined, but an inexplicable fear, as if she promised Wang Xijue that she would lose the most important piece of the puzzle in her heart.

I don't know why, she suddenly wanted to run away.

But she stood in the midst of the noise, lonely as a child, with nowhere to hide.

"Ling'er, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing that Ji Ling's little face was pale, Mrs. Ji had not responded to Wang Xijue's marriage proposal, and frowned.

Ji Lingru woke up in a dream, and his first reaction was not to answer his grandmother, but to look around with inexplicable anticipation, there, people's heads were swaying, and everyone was watching, with vague and unfamiliar faces, but he couldn't see the figure of the person he wanted to see.

Ji Ling's heart suddenly swelled up with a trace of fear.

The girl seems to have returned to the day when she was chased and killed by her enemies and her mother hid in a dry well; returned to the night when he was swept to the isolated island by the flood and spent with Han Xu, wandering helplessly, like losing the most important support standing alone in the wind and rain, sad with a hint of panic!

Ji Ling couldn't hold back any longer: "Senior brother, are you there?" You're there. ”

The audience was in an uproar!

Who is Big Brother? Who is the Big Brother?

Everyone was confused, just looking at Ji Ling who had not responded to Wang Xijue's proposal, his little face was pale, looking around for something, his eyes were full of anticipation, and everyone suddenly realized that Ji Ling didn't seem to like Wang Xijue so much.

The smile on Mrs. Ji's face instantly froze.

Wang Xijue's face suddenly turned extremely cold.

He raised his head and took a breath, a trace of violence flashed in his cold eyes, he got up and turned his head sideways, and pointed his finger at Han Xu, who was the outermost layer of the crowd: "You, come here!" ”

The scene froze.

Everyone followed Wang Xijue's finger and looked over.

Then they saw a tall and thin boy, dressed in an unfashionable trench coat, a little handsome, but there was no doubt that he could not compare with Wang Xijue in any aspect. Could it be that Ji Ling's heart doesn't like Wang Xijue, but this guy?

They are really unbelievable, just like watching a pair of princesses and princes who have been in love for many years about to achieve a positive result, and suddenly kill a clown to snatch love, which caused them an unparalleled shock, but the prince is a prince after all, and the prince still crushes the clown with a strong momentum.

Gu Qianxun next to him also looked at Han Xu in a daze, with an inexplicable emotion in his eyes, as if he was a little worried, however, Han Xu didn't notice the change in her feelings at all.

Han Xu was silent.

He didn't expect things to come to this point, and he didn't expect Ji Ling, a stupid girl, to fall so deep and have such great courage.

It's a pity that things are not things now.

Han Xu raised his eyes and looked at Ji Ling's eyes, and Ji Ling was looking at him.

Ji Ling seemed to want to run to Han Xu's side, but was frightened by her grandmother's stern eyes, and her grandmother's face no longer had the kindness of the past, but the sternness and anger that she had never seen before.

Ji Ling felt uncomfortable in his heart.

She could only look at him in a daze, her eyes seemed to contain summer dew, about to flow down.

In a trance, Han Xu remembered that evening in Xiling.

There are only two people in heaven and earth, Ji Ling sits on the stone and hugs her knees, the oblique light of the setting sun shines on her body, her long clear hair falls down, moist with dew, and the white cotton dress blown by the wind is like a dandelion to be scattered.

Late autumn evenings are exceptionally peaceful.

Ji Ling leaned on his shoulder, squinted and smiled: "Senior brother, the scenery here is so good, I will come again when I have time in the future, just the two of us together." ”

Han Xu looked at Ji Ling in a daze, and the young and old heart suddenly jumped. The flowers and plants all over the world grow wildly, the sunset falls, time slips away from the fingertips, the light and shadow change, the years disappear, and the gaze of him and Ji Ling becomes eternal, forever fixed in Han Xu's heart.

Now, this eternity is being crushed little by little by Wang Xijue.

"Han Xu, are you scared?"

Wang Xijue's short and powerful voice broke the dead silence, and he stared at Han Xu's gaze with a grim smile: "Ling'er seems to have a good impression of you, now, please stand in front of me and prove that you are worthy of Ling'er's favor!" ”

Wang Xijue seems to want to follow Pushkin's example and have a life-and-death duel with Han Xu for the sake of his beloved: "Of course, you can also refuse." ”

Refusal?

Refusal means confession, right?

Han Xu twisted his neck vigorously and stood up.

Under the stunned gaze, Han Xu walked over step by step, and the crowd automatically separated to both sides, leaving a narrow corridor, and at the end of the corridor, the girl was looking at him, with nervousness, fear, and a hint of expectation in her dewy eyes.

"Peng" on the ground!

At this moment, a meteor from the bottom up rushed into the sky, exploded in the night, and cracked into countless streamers.

"Fireworks?"

Someone in the garden said something, and it was immediately ridiculed: "Stupid, this is a flare!" ”

Everyone's faces changed instantly.

Wang Xijue was the first to react and said loudly: "Everyone be careful, there is an enemy attack!" ”

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "A sudden loud bang came from the entrance of the Thousand Islands, making everyone lose their hearing, the sirens sounded throughout the Thousand Islands, and in the night, all the buildings were illuminated by the dazzling firelight, and the quiet darkness was completely broken.

The red alert state of the Thousand Islands was activated in an instant.
