092. Sake
Listening to the appropriate mocking words, Dongfang Xin's face was extremely ugly. His eyes were gloomy, and he stared at the woman, but he didn't speak.
He simply put down the basin towards the sink with a "snap", looked at the bucket in front of Dongfang Xin and still contained half a bucket of water, and bent down to lift it, intending to pour water into his basin.
It's a pity that her fingertips only touched the lever of the bucket, so she taught Dongfang Xin to grab it. She was about to have a seizure, but when she saw the man lift the bucket vigorously, he poured half a basin of water into her basin. She was slightly stunned, looking at the man in astonishment, not knowing how to react from time to time.
"Aren't you going to wash? What are you doing stupidly? Noticing her sluggish appearance, Dongfang Xin frowned: "Hurry up and wash!" β
"What are you doing here?" He frowned lightly: "Dongfang Xin, you are really annoying, you will be enthusiastic and indifferent for a while, are you a two-faced person?" Why do you always have to give others the illusion, you make me unhappy like this, do you know the Tao? β
Hearing her words, Dongfang Xin's eyebrows raised: "What do you mean?" β
"Just keep you away from me!" It is advisable to pick up the basin and turn around and leave.
"Chen Yi!" Dongfang Xin took a step sideways and stood in front of her: "Didn't we say that we were going to the Misty Forest?" Why are you in a hurry to leave? β
"I don't want to go right now." He said coldly: "I just want to stay away from you!" β
"I now want you to fulfill your promise to me." Dongfang Xin's attitude was also quite tough: "You should know that this is what you owe me." β
Sui's brow couldn't help but frown.
Dongfang Xin said again: "You said it yourself that day, I carried you down the mountain, and you owe me a favor." I want you to give it back to me tomorrow! β
"I'll pay you back for this favor, but not tomorrow." It is suitable to refuse in a cold voice: "I will find a chance to return it in the future." β
"I want you to pay it back tomorrow." Dongfang Xin's attitude was also resolute, and his voice was chilling: "Tomorrow at eight o'clock, we will set off on time to go to the Misty Forest!" β
"Why are you like this?" Fit was a little annoyed by his words: "I'm not going!" β
"If you don't go, I'll let Lan Tianran accompany me!" Dongfang Xin sneered: "When the time comes, you won't be able to go either!" β
"You-"
"You should know very well that I do what I say!"
Looking at the steady light in the man's eyes, he felt a chill down his spine. Wouldn't it be too shameless for him to threaten her with nature?
Dongfang Xin seemed to see through her thoughts, and before she spoke, he said coldly: "I'm not a decent gentleman, you should have known the Tao a long time ago." β
"Good!" It is fitting to be slightly angry at his words. She gritted her teeth hard, clenched her hands hanging on the sides of her legs into fists, and forcibly suppressed the anger: "I'll pay you back this favor tomorrow!" β
She finished the next sentence and walked away without looking back.
Looking at her distant back, Dongfang Xin's eyes slowly condensed, and the look in her eyes was dark and unclear.
He stood where he was, motionless. After a long time, the thin lips poured out a faint word: Chen Yi, you owe me, and I can't pay it off in this life.
Then, he turned away.
After his figure disappeared, a figure slowly walked out from behind a certain laurel tree. The man's gaze glanced along the east and west chambers, and a strange smile appeared on his lips.
Like, calculating something!
ββββββ
Naturally, when he walked out of the gate of the courtyard, he saw the figure of Xiu. The long man came head-on. She swallowed lightly, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, and she grinned lightly at the man: "Mr. Long." β
"Let's go!" Long Yuxing glanced at her.
"Hmm." Seeing him turn around and walk forward, he naturally responded lightly and followed closely.
After walking a short distance, Long Yuxing suddenly stopped his steps and glanced at her slightly: "You come over some." β
"Oh!" Naturally nodded, increased his steps, and walked to his side: "Mr. Long, isn't the temple square very beautiful at night, that's why you asked me out for a walk?" β
"Haven't you seen it?" Long Yuxing said lightly.
"Nope." Naturally laughed at himself: "I have nothing to do on weekdays, I always like to stay at home alone and never go anywhere." β
"You can watch the show like travel once in a while." Long Yuxing suggested: "It's also a good choice to ask friends out for a walk. β
Natural laughed: "It seems like that." β
Long Yuxing didn't speak again, and led her to the temple square.
The temple is closed to the public after 6 p.m., so the temple square here is quiet, surrounded by dead objects such as buildings and trees, except for a street lamp in the distance.
Walking with the dragon in the wide and silent square, in addition to hearing their footsteps, you can even feel each other's heartbeats and breathing. This situation made her a little cramped and uneasy. It's not a feeling of fear, it's an indescribable sense of oppression.
"How much did you hear my conversation with Cheng Xinyu tonight?" After being silent with each other for a long time, Long Yuxing suddenly spoke lightly.
"Uh......" naturally didn't expect him to ask about this, and he was stunned for a while.
Long Yuxing glanced at her sideways and was silent, as if waiting for her answer.
Naturally, I only felt that my heartbeat was accelerating, and my brain was instantly confused. She was a person who could not lie, and at this moment in the face of the man's scrutinizing gaze, she suddenly forgot all the words that were suitable for what she had taught her, and when she spoke, she realized that she was too faithful to honesty.
She said: "It started when Sister Xinyu said that she liked you. β
Long Yuxing's eyes slowly narrowed, and a superb light burst out from his eyes: "What do you think about this?" β
Nature blinked and shook his head.
"Huh?" The dragon moved at the peak of Xingxing's eyebrows.
"I don't know what to do." The natural opening and the voice are somewhat muffled. She lowered her head as well, avoiding the man's gaze: "But I understand Sister Xinyu's mood very well, it is a very painful thing to like someone but not be recognized by the other party." Mr. Long, did you really never like Sister Xinyu at all? β
"Why do you ask that?"
"I just want to know Lu Dao, are you so resolute, is it because you have no feelings for her at all?" Naturally raised her eyes slowly, and her beautiful eyes flashed with a dazzling light: "You rejected her and alienated her, just hoping that she would be able to die for you." In your opinion, long pain is better than short pain. Since you don't love her, don't delay her, right? β
"I'm not as great as you think, I just hate being pestered by people I don't like." Long Yuxing suddenly stretched out his hand and stroked it gently along the natural hair: "You are too kind, you always think about everything in a good way." β
His demeanor was so natural, as if he had done it to her countless times. It's just that they even use polite names to each other, how can he have such intimate contact with her? It felt like she was his girlfriendβ
This thought just surged in my heart, and I was naturally shocked.
No! Blue Natural, you're crazy, what are you thinking?
She hurriedly shook her head, took a step back, and pulled a certain distance from the man!
Her estrangement made Long Yuxing's eyebrows deepen, and a touch of coldness seemed to flash in his eyes: "Miss Lan seems to be afraid of me." β
"Of course not, Mr. Long, you are a good person." Natural quickly shook his head: "I'm just, just...... I feel a little cold, so let's go back! β
Long Yuxing ignored her proposal, and only said lightly: "If you think I was offended just now, you can explain it to me directly, and I will not commit it again next time." β
Naturally, he was a little silent.
It's hard for her to answer this.
If she said that Long Yuxing was not offending her, would he still be so affectionate to her in the future? If you offend her, in fact, people haven't done too much...... Moreover, judging from the number of times he has helped her in the past, he is really a decent gentleman, how could he offend her at will? His actions may have been just an unintentional mistake, or he suddenly thought of something, so he couldn't help it-
When she was weighing how to respond to the man in her heart, the latter had already spoken: "I take the liberty to ask, you explained Cheng Xinyu's mood just now, why did you say this?" β
His question was very sharp, and he naturally didn't know how to react.
Tell him that she has someone in her heart? Although they have crossed paths recently, they haven't known each other to such a point, right? If she didn't say it, what would Long Yuxing think of her? Would she think she didn't treat him as a friend?
"You can choose not to answer, everyone has their own secrets, I offended." Long Yuxing had already said before he thought about how to respond: "It's really not early, let's go back!" β
"Uh......" naturally replied blankly, and seeing that the man had turned away, he had to follow.
In my heart, there are many doubts.
Long Yuxing really just wants to go out with her?
Or, more, he wants to know how much she knows about him and Cheng Xinyu, does he want her to keep it secret? Why can't he open this mouth?
So, is the right guess wrong?
He didn't like her at all, let alone show her his heart.
ββββββ
"Coming back?" Seeing the natural push door into the house, it is appropriate to put the mobile phone to the side and raise your eyes to look at her.
Nodding his head naturally, he slowly paced to the edge of the couch and sat down.
She seemed to be a little lost-
Yi frowned, and immediately asked: "Naturally, what did Long Yuxing tell you?" β
"Nothing." Nature shook his head.
"You tell me you're lying!" Suitable for jumping off*, walked quickly to her and sat down, and pulled her arm: "Naturally, do you dare to look into my eyes and tell me that nothing that shouldn't have happened to you and Long Yuxing tonight?" β
"Suitable!" Naturally pushed her: "Don't make trouble." β
"Really?" Good for raising eyebrows.
"Not really." Naturally shrugged, and the corners of his mouth showed a bitter arc: "He just asked me how much he knew about him and Sister Xinyu." β
"So easy?"
"It's that simple."
He stared at the natural nature for a long time, and noticed that her expression was not panicked at all, so he spread his hands: "Okay, I believe you." β
Naturally white at her glance.
"Actually, I know your temperament best, and you won't lie. It's just ......" is suitable to stare at nature with sparkling eyes, and will not speak for a long time.
Naturally, she was a little creepy by her gaze, and she squinted over: "What are you staring at me like this?" β
Yi Yi reached out and poked her brain lightly: "Long Yuxing can hold back, but you can't help it." β
"What did you say?" Nature looked at her inexplicably.
"Needless to say, some things are just like that, and the authorities are confused. Let time settle some kind of unformed relationship between you! β
"You're going to play a pantomime with me?"
"Don't talk about that." Yi waved at her, and then said, "Naturally, there is something I want to discuss with you." β
"What's wrong?" Looking at her with a rather solemn expression, her natural brows furrowed slightly.
"I'm going to stay here for one more day, let's postpone our return to Wencheng for a day, no problem, right?"
"I thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be just that!" Nature patted his heart: "It doesn't matter, anyway, my work is arranged by you." If you want to stay here for a few days, I'll be with you anyway. β
"Naturally, thank you." He reached out and put his arm around her shoulder: "I have an appointment with Dongfang Xin tomorrow, I want to go to the Misty Forest for a walk, do you want to go with you?" β
"The Misty Forest? What is that place? β
"There is a forest in the mountain behind the temple, there is a lot of fog, and it should be fun to explore when the time comes."
"Then I'm not going, you know I'm most afraid of that kind of place." Nature hurriedly waved his hand: "Moreover, Mr. Dongfang is asking you to go, it's not good for me to go." β
"Listening to your tone, why does it seem like there is something else hidden?"
Naturally patted the right shoulder: "Yes, you say I'm a fan of the authorities, but in fact, why aren't you?" β
Listening to her words, it is appropriate to be stunned.
Naturally, he pulled his lips and smiled, and the meaningful light in his eyes was refracted: "We are all like-minded people." β
Her words made her laugh. She reached out and gently stroked the long hair of her shawl, and her eyes were bright and shining: "In this way, we are not confused, but we are not willing to take that step. β
Because, those who are tempted will lose first.
ββββββ
The next day, she woke up early*, and saw that she was sleeping soundly, so she didn't wake her up, and went out to wash.
Cheng Xinyu was also washing by the well, and when she saw that it was suitable, she smiled slightly, and her eyes involuntarily looked at the suitable legs and feet: "Miss Chen, looking at your walking posture, your back injury and leg injury are no longer a big problem." If I go back today, there should be no problem. β
"I'm not going back today." It is suitable to let her observe herself: "I made an appointment with Dongfang Xin today to go to the misty forest in the back mountain, and postponed going back. β
Hearing her words, Cheng Xinyu's eyebrows deepened: "You have an appointment with Dongfang Xin?" β
Yi nodded, picked up the rope tied to the bucket, and threw the bucket into the well, after hearing the sound of "plopping", she felt that the bucket overflowed into the water in the well, she raised her eyes slightly, glanced at Cheng Xinyu, and said, "It was him who asked me." β
Cheng Xinyu's brows furrowed without a trace.
It is advisable to lift the water with force.
"I'll help you." Cheng Xinyu stepped forward, stretched out his hand and grabbed the rope: "Your back injury is still in the recovery period, so it is not suitable to do strenuous exercise." β
"Thank you!" It is appropriate to let go of the hands holding the rope and step aside.
"You're welcome." Cheng Xinyu lifted the bucket and added water to the suitable basin: "Miss Chen, there is something I don't know if I should tell you." β
"Oh?" It is advisable to scoop some water from the basin and rinse your mouth.
Cheng Xinyu put down the bucket, straightened his waist, and sighed helplessly: "Actually, I came to Pulai Temple this time because I was instructed by Dongfang Xin's mother. She has always wanted to match me with Dongfang Xin, so when she learned that Dongfang Xin was here, she asked me to take a look at what he was thinking. β
Hearing Cheng Xinyu's words, he paused. Her brow furrowed slightly, as if she was thinking about something. After a while, she stared at Cheng Xinyu with shining eyes: "So Miss Cheng, are you here to spy on Dongfang Xin?" β
"No!" Cheng Xinyu shook his head: "I came here for selfishness. β
"Oh?"
"I'm here for the dragon."
Fit looked at her in amazement.
She didn't pretend, but she was surprised that Cheng Xinyu told her these words directly.
was stared at by her all the time, and a wry smile flowed out of Cheng Xinyu's lips: "Maybe you don't want to believe it, but I really don't have any feelings for Dongfang Xin." The people I care about are dragons. Therefore, even if my aunt tried her best to match me with Dongfang Xin, I was never moved. I came here nominally to help her spy on Dongfang Xin, but in fact, I didn't tell her anything unfavorable to Dongfang Xin. In fact, I can see that Dongfang believes that he cares about you very much. Otherwise, he wouldn't have donated tens of millions of dollars to Pulai Temple in order to allow you to visit with nature. β
Yi was rinsing his mouth, and when he heard Cheng Xinyu's words, he almost choked on mouthwash. She coughed several times before she stopped. The palm of her hand gently patted her chest, and she calmed down: "You said that Dongfang Xin donated 10 million to Pulai Temple for me and Nature to come to Pulai Temple?" β
Cheng Xinyu nodded: "Thirty million." β
"How is that possible?"
"I don't know exactly what it is, but I also heard my aunt mention it."
He frowned slightly, and suddenly remembered something in his mind.
That day, when she left the master's meditation room, Dongfang Xin asked her to go first. She could vaguely hear the master say to Dongfang Xin, "Dongfang donor, this is your good retribution." βγ Could it be, but the master will say this because Dongfang Xin really donated a huge amount of money to Pulai Temple?
Thinking of this, her heart throbbed inexplicably.
Dongfang Xin has always said that tickets for Pulai Temple are hard to find, but he got them. She hadn't understood why, but now she figured it out. It turned out that he used money to dredge it! It's no wonder, but the master is such a busy person, and he also took the time to personally help her treat her back injury, and asked the little monk to take special care of her, all because Dongfang Xin had a deal with him!
"Miss Chen-" Seeing that she was in a daze, Cheng Xinyu called her a few times.
"Scare?" It was appropriate to blink his eyes several times before he came to his senses. Her eyes fell on Cheng Xinyu's face, but when she saw that she was staring straight at herself, she said, "I'm sorry, I'm distracted." β
"I should have to apologize to you, did my words make you a burden?" Cheng Xinyu's face was a little guilty: "I'm sorry-"
"It's none of your business." He shook his head and washed his face with a wet towel: "I still want to thank you!" β
"Oh?"
"Nothing." It is suitable to wring out the towel and pour the water in the basin: "I washed it, go back first." β
"Okay." Cheng Xinyu nodded.
It is advisable to pick up the basin and leave.
Seeing her walking away, Cheng Xinyu's eyebrows narrowed slightly, and she also turned back to the East Chamber.
Lin Zhao happened to get up, and when he saw her, he greeted her.
"Miss Lin, are you going to the Misty Forest today?" Cheng Xinyu asked lightly.
"What?" Lin Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly: "Who wants to go to the Misty Forest?" On the day we came to Pulai Temple, didn't the master tell us that the misty forest is dangerous, so let's not go there? β
"I heard that Ashin asked Miss Chen to come over, and I thought he had made an appointment with you." Cheng Xinyu shrugged: "It turns out that he didn't tell you!" β
Lin Zhao's brows furrowed: "Isn't Miss Chen leaving today, why would Ashin ask her to go to the Misty Forest?" β
Cheng Xinyu shook his head: "I don't know about this, I was washing outside just now and heard her mention it." β
When Lin Zhao heard this, the hands hanging down his legs were clenched into fists.
Ashin, why did you ask Chen Yi to go to the Misty Forest at this juncture? Chen is suitable for her to leave...... Are you doing this to keep her?
ββββββ
Hearing a knock on the door, he responded, "Please wait." β
She turned her face to look at the natural who had just changed into her clothes: "You go and open the door!" β
"Hmm." Naturally, he went to open the door, but when he saw the two tall figures standing in front of the door, his eyes widened in surprise.
"Morning!" Long Yuxing glanced at her, and his voice was flat.
"Morning!" Naturally, he pulled his lips and smiled, and his eyes fell on the other person: "Mr. Dongfang, it is suitable for her to pack her things, and it will be right away." β
She then looked back to see that he was walking over his shoulder.
Long Yuxing's eyebrows slanted upward.
Yi Yi glanced at him, nodded his head to say hello, and then patted his natural shoulder: "As usual today, you stay here and wait for me to come back!" β
Naturally, he responded with a "yes".
"Gone." The appropriate eyes glanced at Dongfang Xin's face, and said lightly.
Dongfang Xin didn't speak, but slightly moved out of the way and let her come out.
It's not polite, and you go past him first.
Dongfang Xin followed behind her.
Watching them walk towards the end of the corridor, his natural brow furrowed slightly.
It wasn't until she felt a gaze next to her that she was pressed tightly on her face that she relented. Turning her face, she looked at the man's deep eyebrows, her cheeks flushed slightly, and said, "Mr. Long, aren't you leaving today?" β
"Of course." Long Yuxing said lightly: "If you don't leave, I will stay." β
*
It was suitable to step out of the courtyard with Dongfang Xin's footsteps, and he saw a figure standing in front of him. Seeing them, the corner of the man's mouth twitched, and a smile pulled out of her lips: "You guys are finally here, I'll wait for a while." I'll go with you to the Misty Forest! β
