Chapter 13
In the moment of lightning, the man's hands were tightly grasped and he could not move.
The man had no idea that the person who had been sleeping would suddenly wake up, she had been in the dark for a long time, and she could see everything around her clearly through the faint moonlight, including those who were close at hand, and she could feel the heavy breath on her face.
"Why are you here?" Mo Bing's tone was indifferent, with a bit of coldness, sandwiched by the wind of the northern desert in the middle of winter, even without a trace of anger, it still made people feel cold hands and feet.
As he expected, the man did not speak. A thought flashed through Mo Bing's heart at that moment, grabbing the man's hand and leaving it free, he grabbed the man's waist and lifted her up with one hand before the man could react, and then threw it on the side of his bed.
He could feel the man holding his breath, his hands straining as if trying to break away. Mo Bing didn't follow her, pressed her hands to the side, and leaned closer to her.
"I've heard that your village values the difference between men and women, and you can't wear the clothes of a stranger, because if you let people see it, it will damage your reputation. Miss Qingran, if the news of lonely men and widows living in the same room spreads, do I still have to marry you? Mo Bing's tone was a little provocative, and she laughed out loud at the end, but she knew it was laughing at her.
Mo Bing was mocking her word by word, but fortunately, in the dark environment, her flushed face could hide some of it.
Fortunately, he knew that she couldn't speak, otherwise, how would she reply to him?
Say that she is such a cheap woman, sneaking into a strange man's room in the middle of the night, and doing such a dirty thing secretly?
Even if there were 10,000 reasons, she had no excuse to explain.
Maybe he knew she couldn't speak, so he didn't think she could say anything.
"The letter you gave me the night before was blank, and what you said to me that night, I thought it was because you drank and didn't take it to heart. I thought you couldn't embarrass you as a girl, so I just acted like nothing had happened. As soon as we arrived in Bianjing, we would disperse, and no one would remember anyone again. Mo Bing said slowly, a pair of eyes staring closely at the person in front of him in the dark, as if he wanted to see the expression on the person's face through this layer of darkness.
Qing Ran's heart beat with Mo Bing's words, and it hurt her heart all at once. Especially in the end, an inexplicable soreness welled up, he said that she really wanted to laugh when no one remembered whom, in the end, it was Mo Bing, his heart was like water, and anyone could not take it to heart, but she couldn't.
One of her hearts was shattered by his words that no one would remember anyone, as if it had hit her death hole, and in the silent darkness, she cried heartbreakingly.
The best way for people to release their grief is to cry, and crying seems to be cathartic. But she can't speak, and how many times she dreams back at midnight, she can only cry silently in the dark.
"I have doubted your identity, and for any deliberate approach, I will subconsciously think that it is in some kind of purpose, even if it is only for three days. Then I didn't doubt your identity anymore, because your mouth couldn't speak, because your eyes didn't look like they were lying. Mo Bing continued, he didn't know what kind of emotion he was saying these words, the man didn't give him any response, there was only his voice in the silent darkness, but he knew she was listening.
Qing Ran moved again, but still couldn't break free.
The voice that had haunted her was in her ears, and he was so close to her that he could reach out and touch his face. Every word he said could stir up a wave in her heart, and she wanted to throw herself into that person's arms and tell all her grievances, but she couldn't.
Suddenly, the hand that was holding her loosened, and the cool breeze poured into her palm and soaked the heat, and her body couldn't help but shiver. A bad premonition welled up in her heart, as if the words that person said in the next second could make her completely collapse.
Mo Bing let go of the hand that was imprisoning her, and her body left her body. I heard him be silent for a while, and then said as if relieved: "You go." If you don't want to say, I won't persecute you. ”
Compared to what he said before, this sentence was even more cold, like frost on the edge of the window in winter, which made people completely cold when touched lightly.
Without much hesitation, she quickly got up from the bed, trying to get out of here as quickly as possible, at least not to be so embarrassed in front of him again.
But when she was about to open the door and leave, a word came from behind her that made her stunned.
"Tomorrow I will arrange a separate boat for you, you don't have to worry about safety, I will transfer a few people from the city lord to escort you all the way away."
"Miss Qingran, don't see you again."
In just a few words, all her thoughts were blocked. She froze in place, at a loss, not knowing where to go or what to do.
Never thought of meeting again, he told her never to see each other again.
She lowered her eyes, tears slid down the tip of her nose, like a hole in her heart, and her whole body knew nothing but care.
Next time, can you change the pride that you like me to the point of madness?
Maybe she should have expected such a result, she shouldn't have appeared in front of him, if so, could she still pretend to be a passerby, greedy for the back of the lonely world when he left her side?
I don't know why, she didn't regret it except for being a little uncomfortable.
I don't know how long later, there was a creak in the darkness, and the figure disappeared into the endless darkness.
Mo Bing retracted his gaze and lay back on the bed, with that squeak, a sour feeling surged in his heart, not painful or itchy, but a little uncomfortable.
He is not a person who will be reluctant to give up, no matter who he is for, he will not have too much sadness when it is time to part. He has a calm attitude towards everything and an indifferent attitude, so his emotions can be so indifferent and not concerned by the world.
But today, he is really weird.
Because of a sudden fire, he himself lost control and almost lost himself in the crowd.
When the row of lanterns fell, and when the figure disappeared into the fire, his heart was filled with fear, and he didn't want to think about it anymore. And now, what is the reason for being so uncomfortable?
Regret it? Regretting letting her go when he hadn't figured out all the truth? He is Mo Bing, if he wants to check, there should be nothing he can't find. The man walked away, he shouldn't have any other emotions. After all, the person who deliberately approached him should be sad.
Everything is too weird, he caught the key point of everything when he couldn't figure it out, and when he saw that the truth was about to surface, he was suddenly afraid.
Are you afraid that you really have something to do with that person, and you are afraid that you won't be able to accept the sudden change?
His mind was in a mess, and there was little sleepiness. He put his head on his hand, and suddenly realized that there were still tears left by the man on this hand, and the heat seemed to start burning again, torturing his flesh and his heart.
Sleepless all night, he tossed and turned many times and still couldn't sleep, and he almost went to light the spice that had been crumpled by himself. The medicine was added by the man with something else, and when he found out, he was puzzled, it was not a fatal thing, but it helped sleep.
He has always slept very lightly, and a little sound can wake him up, but yesterday he slept all night without dreams until dawn, and he thought that it was because Luoyun Water City was a water town, and the environment was superior enough that his sleep problem for so many years had been solved.
No matter what it was, as long as he had something for the spices, there must have been a purpose, how could he have done what others wanted. So he crumpled the spice and replaced it with some new spices, and the taste and smell would not be too different. He was ready to wait for that person to appear, but he never expected it to be Qing Ran, a girl who was powerless.
He couldn't imagine it would be her, and he couldn't figure out why she did it. It wasn't until later that she cried, silently, for fear of waking him up.
After waiting for a long time, a faint light finally squeezed out of the darkness, and through the window of the house, I could see the gray scene outside.
As if he had been redeemed, he quickly got up from the bed, paced to the table, finished the remaining little unfinished book, and sorted out the things he wanted to give Chenfeng.
By the time he put the pen down, it was already bright outside. The people at the inn have already gotten up to clean up and prepare for the busy day.
The little maid knocked on his door, and he came to bring water and breakfast. Mo Bing let people in, washed up with the water sent by this little guy before starting to fiddle with breakfast.
"Mo Gongzi, the chef made an extra dumpling today, and the shopkeeper asked me to send it to you without saying a word, and asked the small one to let you stay for a few more days, and have a good time playing in the water city." The little guy didn't immediately retreat after putting down breakfast, and said with a courteous attitude.
Mo Bing waved his hand, knowing the store's intentions. When he came back yesterday, Chen Feng sent someone to escort him all the way back, and the store must have felt that his identity was special and it was not good to slack off.
"No, I'm leaving today. You serve these dumplings to the two girls opposite, and say thank you to the shopkeeper. Mo Bing refused, and when he said that he was on the other side, his eyes unconsciously glanced at the tightly closed door opposite, I don't know how that person is, whether what he said yesterday would be too heavy.
But when he heard the little girl's puzzled face, he was stunned and said, "Don't you know what Young Master Mo? The two girls who came with you left early this morning. ”
