Chapter Twenty-Nine: Love in Wine, Appeal in Wine
Ye Shuqiu held Mu Xiyao's waist with one hand, protected her head with the other, and kissed affectionately.
Suddenly, he came to his senses.
It's not about the will, it's the musk on his body that plays a role-
He still hugged her gently, but something came to mind-
That was the first time he met his second brother's master, when Ye Shuqiu was ten years old.
His second brother's master called himself a Lost Immortal Master, but he was a madman who loved to refine medicine.
On that day.
The Lost Immortal Master handed him a medicine sachet, "Now that you have a relationship with my disciple, this medicine sachet is given to you to refresh your mind and defend yourself." β
Ye Shuqiu thanked him and took it, but he didn't know what the medicine bag was for, he asked, "That, Immortal Master, this medicine?" β
"Ahem," the old Lost Immortal Master blushed, "This is something I have nothing to practice in my spare time...... In fact, it can refresh the bearer, and by the way, it can make the other party drowsy. β
Refresh oneself? Drowsy?
"Then what is the situation that makes people drowsy?" Ye Shuqiu decided to find out the secret of this medicine bag.
The Lost Immortal Master tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Actually, it's just that musk has added some unknown herbs, but that herb can be combined with a psychedelic drug to make the other party drowsy." β
"That'...... What medicine can synthesize this herb to give off its fragrance? How long does this sachet last? Ye Shuqiu asked respectfully.
"Wellβlet me think about itβ" The Lost Immortal Master stroked his goat's white beard, "The medicine bag will come to me once a year to change, but if you can't find me, you can let me do it for you." β
"As for what kind of medicine it is...... the immortal master searched for memories in his mind, "it seems to be a plant, and that plant I call it a fascination!" The flowers are red, leafless, and the petals are large! The juice of this plant is colorless and tasteless, and when drunk, it can cause a person to fall into an illusion that he is always at the mercy of the person who holds the obsession. β
He paused, "There is no cure for this medicine!" In short, it's dangerous! If you are the prime minister, you must destroy it completely! Otherwise, many people will suffer from it! β
Ye Shuqiu was stunned for a moment, "Immortal Master, why do you say that I am the prime minister?" Why not the second brother ......? β
"He's the one who wants to follow me my way!" The Lost Immortal Master interrupted him, "Think about it, one is the Earth Venerable, the other is the Heavenly Venerable, the two brothers join forces, isn't it invincible in the world?" β
Ye Shuqiu pondered for a while, seemed to have some truth, nodded, and continued to ask: "That immortal master, I don't know how to live with this thing?" β
"There are both north and south, and there are more north than south!"
Later, after Ye Shuqiu became the prime minister of the Southern Dynasty, the first thing he did was to list infatuation as a forbidden item of the state and vigorously urge the people to destroy it.
I remember that when the fire burned, the smoke filled the air, and the surrounding plants suddenly grew like they had received a lot of nutrients.
The next year, there were only a few vigorous vegetation trees left, and the rest were barren.
"The harm of infatuation is as powerful as this!"
He gradually withdrew his memories, and Mu Xiyao in his arms fell asleep in his arms like a kitten.
Ye Shuqiu gently hugged her in his arms, lowered his head and pecked the tears from the corners of her eyes little by little, and then raised his head in contemplation.
Before, Mu Xiyao was easy to fall asleep as long as she was close to him, whether it was in her arms or on her back, but as soon as he left her body less than a step, she woke up.
This......
Ye Shuqiu thought back to the first day they met.
Mu Xiyao seemed to be wary of that glass of water.
Wait a minute!
Why did she walk to what seemed to be an abandoned courtyard with a glass of water?
Why did she show a very nervous look when she took a sip of water, and when she saw herself holding a glass of water, she reminded herself not to drink it!?
It's just too unvigilant.
I was already ruthless and desireless in practice, but under Mu Xiyao's tossing, I wondered if I hadn't practiced at home?
And today......
The second lady of Mufu, why did she like a person who belonged to the identity of Mr. Teaching?
Don't...... It's all that glass of water?!
If it weren't for the water being absorbed in their stomachs, Ye Shuqiu would definitely re-examine the glass of water.
If that's what you think......
So, why would a young lady who basically doesn't step out of the door have that thing?
Who gave her that thing?
Ye Shuqiu only felt that his mind was like a mess, he just wanted to figure out the source of that thing, and he didn't want to know how to get rid of it.
Relieve? Jokes?
Even the immortal master has said that there is no cure! How can it be solved?!
Alas-
What a sin!
Ye Shuqiu saw that the person in the thatched hut had not yet appeared, so he was ready not to disturb again.
So he gently patted the back of Mu Xiyao, who was sleeping lightly, "Second Miss, get up, we should go back." β
"Hmm-" Mu Xiyao turned over, frowned slightly, squinted her hazy eyes, and asked suspiciously, "I, why am I asleep again?" β
Somewhat sober, some not very pure images suddenly flashed in her mindβ
This ββ?!
I?!
I, I actually took the initiative?!
Every day, every day, every day!
I, I'm not alive anymore!
In those pictures, she was so frightened that she buried her head directly in Ye Shuqiu's arms, and refused to raise it again.
Oh no! I was too bold at the time!
Ye Shuqiu looked at her shy and cute appearance, and whispered in her ear: "The beauty has a white fur, her cheeks are like red embroidery, like the edge of the sky, the sunset; The peach droops cherry lips, and the body is willow, which is softer than the milky water. β
Mu Xiyao's earlobes were even redder.
"Girl, it's getting late, isn't it time to go back to Mr. goodbye?"
Mu Xiyao sat up, threw herself into his arms, and slapped Ye Shuqiu's chest, "Villain!" Even you bully me! β
But I didn't know that I was laughing while fighting.
"Okay, okay, if you make any more trouble, you really won't even be able to go back to dinner."
It seemed that she was tired from the fight, so she lay quietly in his arms, and murmured, "Ye Qiu, can you not call me Second Miss in the future, call me Xiyao, is it okay?" β
Ye Shuqiu's heart was shocked, and her palm stroked her hair, "Second Miss, I ......"
"Anyway, don't call me Second Miss," Mu Xiyao gently stroked his lips and muttered, "Call me Xiyao, I want to hear you call me this." β
This......
Ye Shuqiu's voice was a little hoarse and he said, "Xi...... Yao. β
"Hey," she replied softly, and then shrank into Ye Shuqiu's arms, smiling lowly.
He called me.
He called me by name.
I, I suddenly felt, so happy.
Some...... Not quite real......
"I still want to hear it," Mu Xiyao looked at him with some expectation.
Ye Shuqiu responded softly to her small, somewhat arrogant request, "Xi Yao, Xi Yao, Xi Yao, Xi Yao!" β
"Uh-" she replied contentedly, then buried her face and trembled slightly.
Sure enough, it's true, he really called me that!
It's a pity that only today, only today -
Perhaps, when the rooster crows tomorrow, he will be back to being my teacher.
Today, he's mine!
I, too, are his!
Why, why, I feel so satisfied-
Is this the taste of love in my mother's mouth?
It's short, but it's so happy.
Ye Shuqiu just felt that his chest was a little soaked.
He was stunned.
She cried?
Why?
Could it be that I am not satisfied with my answer?
"Xi Yao," he whispered in her ear, holding her waist slightly, "we..... It's time to go back......"
Mu Xiyao nestled in his arms and whispered softly, "I suddenly don't want to go back, I really want to be like this, for the rest of my life...... Here, I can realize that I am not the second lady of Namu Province, and you are not mine..... Mr. Teaching......"
Ye Shuqiu suddenly understood her a little, but still pulled her back to the truth with a gentle voice, "However, you are indeed the second lady of Mufu, and I am also the one, your teacher." β
Ambiguous -
She suddenly angrily left his warm embrace and glared at him, "You, can't you let me imagine more?!" I hate you! Why break my dreams! β
She covered her lips lightly, with a few tears in her eyes, turned and ran out of the courtyard.
This......
Ye Shuqiu's smart mind on weekdays couldn't turn a corner.
She......
"Brother Shu, don't you want to chase it yet?" There was a slight joking sound from the thatched hut.
A wake-up call.
Ye Shuqiu got up and hurriedly thanked him, "Mr. Xie reminds!" β
Then he chased after him, "Second Miss! β
Mu Xiyao heard his shout and walked faster.
Second Miss! You just know how to call me Second Miss!
Book leaf autumn! You bastard!
She didn't notice the coiled roots beneath her feet, staggering, and falling to the ground.
But it was the scars that rubbed the delicate skin.
"Second Miss, you-" Ye Shuqiu only arrived half a step behind her, and when she saw Mu Xiyao's frowning face, she squatted down and gently hugged her into her arms.
But she tilted her head and ignored him.
"Why are you doing this?" Ye Shuqiu sighed, "Doesn't the second lady know that the woman who has not left the cabinet has an affair with Mr. Teaching, will it-"
Hearing this, the anger in Mu Xiyao's heart also disappeared by half, it turned out that he was considering-
But does this stop one person from liking another?!
Damn feelings! Damn dogma!
But that doesn't mean I can forgive you! Book leaf autumn!
She turned her head aggrievedly and looked at Ye Shuqiu, "Then you...... Why..... Don't call me by name? β
"How can you call it?" Ye Shuqiu flicked her forehead, "No one is okay here, if you go back, there will be a lot of people, there will always be someone who knows, that day is coming, I don't care, but Second Miss, your golden body, pure as a lotus, how can you endure the foul language of the world?" Cruel punishment? β
It turns out that he-
"Does it still hurt?" Ye Shuqiu asked softly, he knew very well how great the force of the friction between the skin and the ground was.
Mu Xiyao's small mouth pursed, and she was about to cry, "It hurts-"
"It hurts, then let's go out and find a doctor." Ye Shuqiu picked her up by the waist and walked towards the outside of the dense forest.
The corners of Mu Xiyao's lips had a hint of happiness, but she asked playfully: "My teacher, what kind of system do you have when you hold your young lady like this?" Aren't you afraid of what the world says? β
Ye Shuqiu lowered his head and looked at her gently, "If the second miss is not injured, the contemptible person will naturally not hug it, but it seems that the second miss has a scar under her kneeββ"
"I can't walk anymore, so what's wrong with being held?"
She narrowed her eyes happily and put her arms around his neck, "You can carry me on your backβ"
"If the second lady wants the contemptible person to carry you, then it's okay-" said Mu Xiyao to the back.
"Ahh I still want you to hug me a little longerβgo out, carry me again! She was a little nervous, and she stopped talking, as if she was afraid that the next moment, she would have to leave the warm embrace.
"Obey the orders of the second lady!"
"Shu Yeqiu, why did Miss Ben find out today that you are so poor at making girls happy?"
"Second Miss wants to know? You'll find out later! β
"You ββ!"
While laughing, Mu Xiyao looked at the dense forest behind her with some reluctance, as well as the thatched hut blocked by the dense forest.
Thank you for this forest, thank you for that gentlemanβ
Today, finally, I did it once, and I was true to myself......
