Chapter 38: Not Going to Confess?!
Chapter 38: Not Going to Confess?!
"By the way, I haven't gone to say hello to Elder Qingwu yet! I'll have to hurry up, or ...... Hey~" An Min'er suddenly remembered that the disciples of the Tan Ling Sect had to report to Elder Qingwu when they went down the mountain, and they had to go to greet Elder Qing when they came back, otherwise, if they were caught, they would be "dead" ugly! An Min'er still wants to live a little longer! She didn't even care about tidying up her appearance, and went straight to Tanwu Palace.
And An Min'er left, now there was only Leng Mo and Xi Shuang left in the kitchen, the temperature plummeted, Xi Shuang glanced at Leng Mo who was reading a book, and couldn't help but shiver, not only the water was cold, but the atmosphere was also cold, but the way Leng Mo read a book was indeed a little good-looking, Xi Shuang couldn't help but stare at him for a while. But I don't know why, looking at it, Long Xuanjing's figure appeared in front of him, why did Xi Shuang always feel that the two of them looked so similar?
Leng Mo noticed Xi Shuang's gaze, raised his head and looked at Xi Shuang, who was found guilty of the crime, quickly lowered his head, not giving them a chance to look at each other. Leng Mo shook his head, looked at the rice bowls and dishes that were still piled up in the pool, put down the book in his hand, rolled up his sleeves, silently squatted down next to Xi Shuang, picked up the dishes and brushed them skillfully. In Tanyun Mountain, Leng Mo is not only responsible for cooking and cooking, but also responsible for washing dishes and dishes. In the past, he washed the dishes of the entire Tan Ling Sect by himself for more than a hundred people, and sometimes the senior sister would also help, but more often than not, he was alone, because the senior sister didn't know why, and was always assigned a mysterious task by the master.
Leng Mo's sudden arrival made Xi Shuang have some goosebumps, and his heart trembled, this Leng Mo won't take advantage of Senior Sister's absence to clean himself up, right?! She saw that her senior sister seemed to be a little overexcited, and she must have offended him somewhere. Could it be that he just ate osmanthus cake and was found out by him? Or is it because I just wasted half a bowl of rice? You can't be angry because you just ignored him by talking to your senior sister, right? Xi Shuang glanced at Leng Mo from time to time, and was relieved to see that he didn't react at all, and Xi Shuang's every move was under the afterglow of Leng Mo, and the corners of Leng Mo's mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, but he was forced down by himself, pretending to be indifferent.
"Don't plan to confess?!" Leng Mo's voice was cold, his eyes still didn't leave the dishes in his hand, Xi Shuang turned his head, pretending not to hear, but he was beating a drum in his heart and muttering quietly, "It's not to me, it's not me." However, there are only two people in the kitchen, and if you don't say it to her, it will be difficult to talk to yourself!
Her weak heart made the corners of Leng Mo's mouth curl, but he still pretended to be indifferent, and deliberately glanced at Xi Shuang coldly, so frightened that Xi Shuang almost collapsed to the ground. The cold eyes are not enough for anyone to eat, and Xi Shuang's immunity to this needs to be improved.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong!" Xi Shuang didn't think about it, anyway, he apologized first, although he didn't know what to explain. Every time Xi Jue gets into trouble, if he admits his mistake first, his father will take a light step. Xishuang looked at Leng Mo pitifully, her watery eyes shattered all the barriers in Leng Mo's heart, and she almost knelt down for Leng Mo. During this period of time, Xi Shuang has almost figured out the habit of coldness, he is cold when he is not angry, and he will not be angry when he is angry, but he is even colder, and his cold eyes can really destroy people invisibly.
Leng Mo was shocked by Xi Shuang's sudden apology, but he still pretended to be cold, he was really cold in front of others, and in front of Xi Shuang, why did he have to pretend to be cold? "So what?" He really wanted to see how this girl was going to make it up.
"Huh?" Xi Shuang was stunned for a moment, why can't he get by? "That...... I won't ignore you even if I'm with my senior sister in the future, yes, don't say anything bad about you, yes, yes, that's it! Xi Shuang was really impressed by his wit.
Leng Mo couldn't help laughing, he had already forgotten about this stubble, and Xi Shuang seemed to be a little angry at the mention of this. This smile frightened Xi Shuang two steps back, and in Xi Shuang's opinion, the person who had been freezing his face suddenly laughed, then she must be in a big disaster. Leng Mo quickly withdrew his smile, and his face was frosty again. But seeing Xi Shuang's stunned face, Leng Mo had to say it directly.
"You are Queen Xi's sister who died young." Leng Mo actually already had the answer in his heart, so he didn't plan to use the question. Xi Shuang was stunned and dumbfounded, how did this guy see it? Don't you have an eye disease? Could it be that I just showed my feet?!
"No, no, no, I'm not." Anyway, let's deny it first, maybe Leng Mo doesn't know anything, he just wants to deceive himself, yes, yes, can't panic. Xi Shuang plucked up his courage and met the cold eyes, but the affirmation there made Xi Shuang lose in less than two seconds.
"This is Tanyun Mountain, no one will know." Leng Mo comforted Xi Shuang for some reason, maybe it was because of her nervousness!
Xi Shuang clenched the rag in his hand, lowered his eyes, and nodded, his eyes were full of sadness, and the joy of the past was still vivid, as if he had just experienced it yesterday. The thoughts that had been restrained in every way broke free from the chains, poured into his brain like a flood beast, and moistened his eyes.
I still remember that in the past, the whole family sat together, ate and chatted, warm and lively, but now, she is the only one left. Xi Shuang's heart tingled for a while, and he was a little breathless. There are some things that can't be mentioned, and you can't even think about them, otherwise it's like Ling Chi.
Leng Mo couldn't help but stretch out his hand, and wanted to pat her shoulder to comfort her, but he stopped an inch away from Xishuang's shoulder, hesitated for a moment, and withdrew his hand stupidly.
"At least, you had the happiness of being accompanied by your family." The cold voice was no longer cold, but mocked himself. At least Xi Shuang once had that happy time, and he, since he can remember, has been in this Tanyun Mountain, slaughtered by others, where can he be happy? For him, it was a luxury to be able to have a meal with Master.
Xi Shuang raised his head, looked at Leng Mo with teary eyes, and sympathized with him. She heard her senior sister say that Leng Mo has lived in Tanyun Mountain since she was a child, and it must be not easy to grow up! But because of this, Xi Shuang gradually opened his heart to Leng Mo, and even began to trust him unconditionally.
"My father and mother and Sister Yue's brother Jue are very good to me, if I knew that this happiness disappeared so early, I should have cherished it in the first place." Xi Shuang regretted a little, he should have been more filial to his father and mother before, less angry with them, more with Sister Yue to learn cooking and female celebrity, less with Xi Jue, more with Brother Mu to study medical skills, less disgusted with Feng Huanrong, and besides, it would be good if I could know Long Xuanjing earlier.
Leng Mo wiped his hands dry, and couldn't help but touch Xi Shuang's little head, this was the first time he touched someone else's head, not to mention, this furry thing was really cute, damn it, he couldn't help but want to touch it again, but reason warned him to stop in moderation.
Xi Shuang wiped his tears, reluctantly squeezed out a smile, leaned down to wash the dishes like a nobody, the dragon pattern mutton fat jade necklace around his neck actually fell out, Xi Shuang was about to hide it in his clothes, but was coldly stopped. Leng Mo grabbed the jade and looked at it carefully, his brows furrowed, Xi Shuang thought that he was going to snatch her necklace like the master, so he quickly pushed Leng Mo away, hid the necklace in minutes, and covered it with his hand, looking defensive.
I don't know why, Leng Mo saw Xi Shuang protecting this piece of jade like this, and his heart was panicked, and he was a little unhappy. "Men's ornaments." Silent and cold, I couldn't hear any waves in my voice, but my heart was actually turbulent, and I almost gritted my teeth and said, "A token of love?" ”
"No, no, no." Xi Shuang's head shook like a rattle, she didn't want Leng Mo to misunderstand, otherwise it was likely to cause "death", so it was better to explain it honestly.
"It was sent by my savior, not a token of love." Xi Shuang deliberately accentuated the words "life-saving benefactor", presumably the things sent by the life-saving benefactor, Leng Mo can't take it!
It's just that Xi Shuang doesn't know, no matter who sent it, as long as it was sent by a man, Leng Mo would be angry, in fact, Leng Mo didn't realize it, but these are all later words.
And far away in Fengguo.
The enthronement ceremony of the new emperor Feng Huanyu has just ended, in order to comfort the queen Xi Yue, Feng Huanyu promoted Xi's father from the five-rank official position of the Hanlin Academy, the Xi family went to Kyoto and allowed them to enter the palace, and Xi Jue also entered the royal academy and became classmates with a bunch of imperial relatives. Although Xi Jue seems to be heartless on the surface, he remembers Xi Shuang all the time in his heart, and he is often in Wuying Pavilion, and a practice is an afternoon. It's just that unlike others, Xi Jue always has two swords tied around his waist. Needless to say, one is his Qingying Sword, and the other is Xi Shuang's Zixia Sword, which never leaves his body. Xi Jue even put the Zixia Sword at the head of the bed when he was sleeping, because Xi Shuang's shadow seemed to be visible on it.
Since Xi Shuang jumped off the cliff, the Zixia Sword has lost its luster, and the purple qi around it has disappeared, and even the top weaponry in the palace can't recover, so he can shake his head and sigh, presumably this ancient divine sword also has aura, and the sword soul may have disappeared with the death of the master's incense.
Because of this, Xi's father and Xi's mother originally planned to bury the sword in Xi Shuang's clothed mound, but Xi Jue refused to die, and Xi's father and mother had no choice but to follow him and leave a memory. In fact, Xi Jue never believed that Xi Shuang would leave him like this, he firmly believed that one day, she would come back, and this Zixia Sword would definitely shine with ten thousand lights. Since there are no bones, Xi Jue will not believe that Xi Shuang is really dead, and he will watch the fireworks in the world with her for the rest of his life! Still...... Marry her.
"Xi Jue! Xi Jue! A girl dressed in a gorgeous county lord's uniform trotted towards Xi Jue, and several palace maids behind followed her closely, afraid that she would bump into it, but Xi Jue pretended not to see it, turned around and left. Lord Ling'er is the niece of the Queen Mother, the cousin of the current saint, and she only thinks about marrying Xi Jue, which really makes him big.
Their acquaintance began on the day Xi Yue gave birth......
