Chapter 65: The Wind and the Dust
By the time Wen Qixiao came back after solving the matter on Wu Zhishuang's side, it was already very late.
Qiu Lin hadn't rested yet, Meng Xi was talking with her, and when she saw him back, she got up and said goodbye and went back to her own room.
Qiu Lin's eyes were a little red and swollen, as if she had cried, and her slightly raised little face was looking at him silently, under the dim candle flame, she looked so pitiful, as if she was waiting for someone to comfort her.
A pair of small hands were wringing their sleeves restlessly, and her red and pink lips were bitten and bitten by her teeth, as if to say something.
Wen Qixiao looked at such a Qiu Lin, only to feel that his heart sank and sank, and he shouted silently in his heart: "This Qiu Lin is really a goblin!" ”
He sighed lightly, stepped forward, and asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”
When Qiu Lin saw him coming, he only felt very nervous, and he hung his head weakly and didn't dare to look up at him.
I have mixed feelings in my heart, there is always a feeling that I am out of the wall, a little sorry for him, and I have an inexplicable urge to cry, and I want to find his desire to comfort......
Now he must know everything, so he doesn't have the face to see him! What will he think of her in the future?
Shook his head slightly: "I'm fine!" ”
Wen Qixiao only felt that such a Qiu Lin was pitiful and fragile, and without thinking about it, he reached out and hugged her into his arms, comforting: "It's not your fault, it's the wrong person with bad intentions." ”
Qiu Lin was hugged into his arms, only to feel that the tip of his nose was sore, and the tears the size of beans immediately fell.
She bit her lip so hard that she couldn't let herself cry, so she buried her face deep in his chest.
His embrace is not only warm, but also feels grounded and extremely reassuring. I miss this embrace so much, I really don't want to leave.
She withdrew from his embrace, sniffed, and when she looked up, she saw that the fabric on his chest was soaked with her tears.
Stretched out his hand and pointed to the location, blushing and said embarrassedly: "Brother Qi Xiao!" This one...... Excuse me! ”
Wen Qixiao looked down when he heard this, and said indifferently: "It's okay!" It'll be dry in a while. ”
As he spoke, he pulled Qiu Lin to the round table and sat her on the stool, then reached out and poured a glass of water and handed it to her.
continued: "Wu Zhishuang's side has been resolved. He has promised that he will never appear in front of you again, let alone haunt you again. Now you can rest assured that you will never see him again. ”
Qiu Lin took a sip of water and replied lightly: "Really?!" That's for the best. ”
Wen Qixiao looked at Qiu Lin suspiciously, she was still in the same mood since she heard what he said, she didn't look happy at all, and she didn't seem to have a feeling of annoyance.
Wen Qixiao asked, "Aren't you happy without this trouble?" ”
Qiu Lin said: "Being happy is naturally happy. However, I also thought about it just now, if he dares to entangle again, I really won't be polite to him anymore. I used to think that more things are better than less, and if you don't want to provoke, it's okay to hide directly, but now it seems that I was really wrong. ”
Wen Qixiao said: "If you meet someone who wants to hurt you in the future, don't be polite to them." Although you have a good heart, they don't know how to cherish it, but they still think you are a bully. ”
Qiu Lin nodded and did not speak.
Wen Qixiao thought that it was quite late, Qiu Lin's mood swings today were also big, and he was tired after tossing for so long a night, so he got up and said, "Don't think about anything else, you are also tired, go and rest early!" ”
"Hmm!" Qiu Lin replied, but stopped him again: "Brother Qi Xiao! I have something to tell you. ”
Wen Qixiao smiled and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Qiu Lin blushed, as if she was embarrassed to speak, and hesitated for a long time.
Wen Qixiao looked at Qiu Lin with a little shyness funny, this is still the shrewd Qiu Lin, but like a cute little daughter-in-law.
"That...... Just now, I ......" Qiu Lin lowered his head, not daring to look at him: "I told that Wu Zhishuang in front of you...... said that I liked a man like you all the time, and at that time I just wanted him to die and said it casually, you don't take this seriously. ”
Qiu Lin feels that it is necessary to explain this question, it can't really make Wen Qixiao feel that "he" likes men, he is a person with special fetishes, and he still likes Wen Qixiao.
I heard Qiu Lin say that he liked a man like him before, Wen Qixiao actually had a trace of sweetness and excitement in his heart, and he didn't know how he felt after listening to his explanation, lost?! Saddened?!
Pretending to walk forward easily, he touched her head and said, "I understand." Don't think about what you have and don't have, go and rest! ”
coaxed Qiu Lin to sleep, Wen Qixiao lay on the couch but thought about it by himself.
It's hard to sleep tossing and turning, is it also affected by Wu Zhishuang?!
When did your special affection for Qiu Lin begin?
Today, when I heard Wu Zhishuang say that he almost gave Qiu Lin to the bow, God knows how angry he was in his heart, God knows how much endurance he used to resist the urge to beat him up, and how much concentration it took to pretend to be calm.
Did you change your mind and fall in love with the autumn shower? Or is it just because he has this identical face?
*
It was like being pierced by something, and the rain kept falling, and it had been raining for six or seven days, and there was still no intention of stopping.
The group couldn't walk and couldn't walk, so they could only continue to stay here and wait for the rain to stop before hurrying.
In the few days of waiting, Qiu Lin has almost sorted out all the information, just wait for Zheng Yang to come back and take a look and then modify and add.
When I had nothing to do, I got a lyre and began to study the score again.
Autumn shower recital, Wen Qixiao continued to paint his danqing. This time he changed his style again, and changed to a portrait painting that only painted autumn showers.
Most of them are pictures of men's clothing, some of her holding a pen and writing, some of her playing the guqin, and some of her standing in front of the window looking into the distance...... There are even two of them in women's clothes!
When Qiu Lin saw the picture of women's clothing, the corners of his mouth twitched and twitched fiercely: Is this painting Qiu Lin or Liu Jingyi?
But she didn't dare to ask, only asked him if he could give her these two pictures of women's clothing.
Wen Qixiao was very generous, saying that as long as she liked it, she could take it all.
So, Qiu Lin smiled and took all those paintings in one roll and packed them away.
Wen Qixiao was dumbfounded, and said in his heart: "This autumn shower is really unkind, and he didn't even leave me a painting." That's it, that's it! Just draw another one yourself. ”
In the past few days, although Wu Zhishuang didn't leave because of the rain, he was still talking, and he didn't appear in front of Qiu Lin again, staying in his room all day, and even three meals a day were sent to the room by Xiao Er.
This also made Qiu Lin feel a little more comfortable, as long as they didn't feel disgusted with them, they didn't bother to find themselves unhappy.
The rain was falling on the 10th day before it came to an end.
As soon as everyone saw that the sun was finally out, they hurriedly packed their luggage and hurried away.
Because this continuous rain has been delayed here for so many days, I am afraid that Zheng Yang and they have already rushed to Yangdan City, and they will be worried if they can't wait for a long time.
It has rained for so long, and this muddy road is very difficult to walk, and the distance that can be reached in three or four days has to be walked for seven days.
The rest of the people were fine on horseback, but the bones were almost falling apart after the autumn rain in the carriage, either backache or back pain, and it was more comfortable to ride with others in the last two days.
finally arrived at the inn agreed upon in Yangdan City, and found that Zheng Yang and they had not yet arrived.
Thinking about it, it was also raining, and there was no reason why Zheng Yang, who was much farther away than them, could arrive earlier than them.
After only resting for one night, Qiu Lin got up early in the morning and changed into clean clothes after practicing martial arts, and began to inspect the business again.
The climate is getting hotter and hotter, and it's cooler in the morning and dusk, and it's so hot in the daytime that people want to find a cool place to hide, and if they can't come out, they won't come out.
Wen Qixiao frowned and looked at Qiu Lin for a long time, the closer it was to noon, the more hot and uncomfortable it was, the sweat was profuse, even if he shook his hand with a fan, it would not help.
Just wanted to stop Qiu Lin from continuing to walk, but Qiu Lin said back to the inn before him, rest in the afternoon, and come out in the evening.
At lunchtime, Qiu Lin still only ate a little bit, and Wen Qixiao coaxed him to only eat two or three more bites.
Wen Qixiao could only watch the thinning Qiu Lin in a hurry, but there was nothing he could do with her.
This autumn shower is really as Zheng Yang said, the hotter the weather, the more unable to eat, just holding a water cup and drinking water all day long. In just a few days, the person has already lost a lot of weight, and his already small face is getting sharper and sharper.
In this way, I went out in the morning and dusk when it was cooler, and rested in the inn at noon and afternoon. Qiu Lin was doing his own business, while waiting for Zheng Yang and their arrival, this wait was to wait for five days, and finally waited for them at midnight on the fifth day.
The group of seven people was very tired, and it seemed that they had come day and night.
Zheng Yang watched Qiu Lin and Wen Qixiao come out of a room together, stunned, surprised, but didn't say anything, just let them all go back and rest early.
It wasn't until the next morning that we had breakfast together, and we were all sitting together.
Wen Qilun and Yu Mingbo were all gobbling up their meals, talking while eating, and the words were all slurred, Wen Qixiao really couldn't look past it, so he simply didn't let them talk, and finished the meal first.
After Wen Qilun and Yu Mingbo finished eating, they couldn't sit still, and said that they would go to sleep again.
Although Zheng Yang and the seven of them had a night's rest, it was obvious that these people were still very tired.
It's curious what happened to them? What have you been through?
But now is obviously not a good time to chat, Qiu Lin asked everyone to go back to the room to continue to rest, including herself, and she didn't go anywhere, just stayed in the inn today.
