Chapter 22: Why Don't You Tell the Truth?!
After guarding Xi Shuang all night, Long Xuanjing's eyelids sank so much that he couldn't stop drooping, and unconsciously, he fell asleep in front of Xi Shuang's bed, but his hands were still holding Xi Shuang tightly.
The sky was bright, the soft little paw in Long Xuanjing's hand suddenly moved, he opened his eyes suddenly, did they both wake up? But the reality is always disappointing, Xi Shuang is still asleep, but Long Xuanjing has no sleep. Looking at Xi Shuang's delicate little face, Long Xuanjing couldn't help but stretch out his hand and touch it gently, but a small flame ignited in his heart, urging him to outline Xi Shuang's face over and over again. "Shuangshuang, are you okay when you wake up?" His eyes were so gentle that he could squeeze out water, and although there was anxiety in his voice, it was also extremely gentle.
"Shuangshuang, I saved your life, I want you to wake up, you haven't thanked me properly!" Long Xuanjing put Xi Shuang's hand on his chest, his eyes lowered, but his voice was full of determination.
Xi Shuang vaguely heard someone calling her, she wanted to respond, but her throat couldn't make a sound, she reached out to grab it, but there was only the darkness at the bottom of the lake where she couldn't see her fingers. Is she dead? Xi Shuangzheng was puzzled, but there were bursts of warm current flowing from the palm of his hand to his heart, Xi Shuang opened his eyes vigorously, it was a young man in an ink robe, and that familiar face made Xi Shuang both surprised and happy, "Jingxuan? ”
Xi Shuang's voice was very small, but it poured into Long Xuanjing's ears.
"Shuangshuang, you're awake!" Long Xuanjing was so excited that he hugged Xi Shuang into his arms. Xi Shuangyi raised his head and saw that the good-looking Danfeng eyes were bloodshot at this time, and he was indescribably moved in his heart, "Jingxuan." ”
"Huh?" Long Xuanjing lowered his head, his lips touched Xi Shuang's cheek, Xi Shuang quickly lowered his head, his face instantly turned red into an apple, Long Xuanjing was also a little shy, after all, when she kissed Xi Shuang last night, she was still in a coma, and now although it was an inadvertent move, it was enough to make the ignorant boy and girl blush. Realizing that he was still in Long Xuanjing's arms, Xi Shuang subconsciously pushed Long Xuanjing and escaped from his arms.
"Thank you." Xi Shuang lowered his head and bit his lip, about to bite the lip that had just recovered a little blood.
"Then how are you going to repay me?" Looking at Xi Shuang's shyness, Long Xuanjing actually came up with the idea of teasing her, usually he looks like a heartless person who breaks off seven emotions and six desires, but in front of Xi Shuang, he can't help but be the most authentic self. The corners of Long Xuanjing's mouth hooked up an evil smile.
Xi Shuang raised his head suspiciously, and actually looked at Long Xuanjing, lowered his eyes shyly, and asked weakly, "How do you want to answer?" Still didn't dare to look up at Long Xuanjing, that unexpected kiss still made people's faces blush and heartbeat when they thought about it now.
"I want to ......" Long Xuanjing deliberately leaned forward, Xi Shuang raised his head in horror, the tips of the noses of the two almost touched, Long Xuanjing stepped back with satisfaction as if a trick had been achieved, stood up with a smile, and brushed his sleeves, "I'll tell you when I think about it." With that, he walked out, and Xi Shuang let out a long breath.
The female eunuchs of the palace outside the door saw Long Xuanjing with a spring breeze on his face, and walked out with a smile, thinking that he was still dreaming, and pinched it violently, oh my God, it really, His Royal Highness the Prince of the Dragon Kingdom actually smiled, and smiled so gently. The palace maids stared at Long Xuanjing with their eyes one by one, not to mention, this prince laughed, it was really good-looking. One by one, they are, and they almost drool.
"Double !!" The door was slammed open, Xi Shuang subconsciously pulled the quilt, shrank into the corner, and saw that it was Xi Jue, Fang breathed a sigh of relief.
"Shuangshuang, you're awake, I'm worried about me!" Xi Jue tightened Xi Shuang's arm and rubbed it, Xi Shuang pushed him in disgust, he was still coquettish when he was such an adult.
"It's okay, what are you doing in Fengming Lake alone?" Xi Jue changed his serious expression, serious.
"I ......" Xi Shuang was speechless for a moment, she hadn't yet figured out what to say. Did he tell Xi Jue that someone asked him to go to Fengming Lake in his name? Or did it say that the envoys of the Wind Clan threw her into the lake?
"Double !!" After Xi's father and mother heard that Xi Shuang had woken up, they didn't delay for a moment, and rushed to the Harmony Palace. They slept lightly that night, and were ready to go to the House of Harmony. As soon as she saw Xi Shuang wake up, Xi's mother let go of Xi's father's hand, stepped forward to hug and kiss, and her eyes were full of tears. Feng Huanyu and Xi Yue followed, dragging their tired bodies and hurried over.
"What the hell is going on? Shuangshuang, how did you end up overboard? "Father Xi's face is serious, don't say it, Xi Jue's serious appearance and Father Xi are carved out of the same mold." Yes, Shuangshuang, how did you end up in the lake? ”
Xi Shuang looked at the concerned eyes around her, and was indescribably moved in her heart, compared to her biological parents, these people around her were simply not much better. But Xi Shuang gritted her teeth, and decided to bury the truth in her heart, after all, it was about the friendship between the two races, and besides, it was none other than her biological parents who wanted her to die!
"I ...... I was a little bored at the time, so I wanted to go to Fengming Lake to blow the wind, and the soles of my feet slipped and fell. I fell on my own, and I don't blame anyone else! Xi Shuang told the lie in one go, and she didn't dare to look into the eyes of the people around her, she was worried that this look would make her heart defense collapse, and she couldn't help but tell the truth.
"I'm tired." Xishuang's eyes were lowered, and Xi's father knew that now was indeed not the time to preach, so he took everyone away and gave Xi Shuang space to rest.
As soon as the door was closed, Xi Shuang couldn't help but cover the quilt on top of his head and cried, at first he just sobbed slightly, but later, Xi Shuang couldn't restrain himself and cried bitterly, fortunately, Xi's father and mother had gone away, otherwise they would be suspicious.
"Why don't you tell the truth?" A hand on the top of his head ripped off the quilt covering the top of Xi Shuang's head, Long Xuanjing's eyes were full of distress, but he pretended to be serious. He knew that Xi Shuang had been pushed into Fengming Lake nine times out of ten, if it weren't for the figure that passed away in a hurry, Long Xuanjing would not have doubted going to Fengming Lake, and Xi Shuang would not have been saved. Long Xuanmo rubbed Xi Shuang's jet-black hair distressedly, pressed her head into his arms, and gradually wrapped her whole person in his arms.
"Why don't you tell the truth?"
Xi Shuang raised his head, his face was full of mottled tears, his eyes were full of flowers, and the tears he had just collected poured out uncontrollably, and Long Xuanjing was also spoiled, allowing her tears to wet the clothes on her chest.
Except for Xi Shuang's sobs, there was a dead silence in the room. Long Xuanjing will not force her, he believes that she has something unspeakable, as long as she is unwilling, even if the whole world forces her, Long Xuanjing would rather be the enemy of the world than force her to do anything.
"Jing Xuan, do you believe it?" Xi Shuang finally held back her tears, and somehow her heart was completely open in front of Long Xuanjing.
"Huh?"
"It's my biological parents who want my life." Xi Shuang understated it on the surface, but his heart hurt like a pinprick in his heart.
Long Xuanjing hugged her hand tightly, and his eyes were rippling, "Shuangshuang, maybe your dearest person wants your life, but there are still people in this world who cherish you and love you." Although Long Xuanjing's tone was extremely gentle, it was difficult to hide his sadness. He was not sure about his guess, he hoped that his guess was wrong, how could the person who had watched him grow up since he was a child, who had been with him longer than his father, and who was more gentle to him than his father, could harm him?
But now, Long Xuanjing deeply understood the reason why Xi Shuang lied, and he decided to help her with this lie.
