Chapter 36: Only Friends
Heishui County is one of the few prosperous places in Annam Province.
Because if Annan Dao wanted to obtain the goods and cultivation resources of the other twelve Daos of the Qianwu Kingdom, it had to cross the Heishui River. Heishui County, on the other hand, had to pass through as a transit point.
As the county seat of Heishui County, where the martial arts ranking tournament was held, the night market was already very noisy.
In addition, the competition was approaching, and the disciples of the martial arts halls from various counties appeared here, and there were some martial artists who came to prepare to watch the excitement, and the streets were crowded.
Ma Xue'e took Luo Changning's hand, look at this stall, touch that stall.
Behind him, Ma Qingyun, Xiang Yinglong, and Xiang Tong lined up, like three guards.
In fact, Xiang Tong is really a guard, Ma Qingyun is disguised as a little guard, and only Xiang Yinglong innocently became a "strong slave with a bag".
In both hands, he was holding a large pile of paper bags, cartons, and wooden boxes, which contained all kinds of things that Ma Xue'e had bought, and the road in front of him was blocked, and he walked staggeringly.
This kind of thing is a rare commodity in Annan Road, and Xiang Yinglong doesn't have it, otherwise he wouldn't have to do coolies.
The Su family does have a space jade toad, but it is on Su Meng.
Xiang Yinglong shed tears: Sister Xue'e is here to play, Changning is to play, and Uncle Xiang is an elder. Brother Ma...... Well, I'll take the bag anyway......
Hum!
One and two are bullying others!
Ma Xue'e held a sugar gourd in each hand, eating happily, and her eyes smiled like crescent moons.
"Heishui County is really lively and fun, and there are more snacks than Qingyang County. However, I still prefer to stay in the Su family's courtyard, the dishes made by Aunt Su and Aunt Qing are so delicious! ”
Festive red lanterns were hung on both sides of the road, and Ma Xue'e had a red face, stuffing rock sugar gourds into her mouth one by one.
The small mouth is also red and bright, shiny, and even more gratifying than a lantern. If it was her original face, she might have caused a lot of trouble.
Fortunately, now that the game is approaching, there are many martial artists in the county, and everyone is afraid of kicking the iron plate and provoking people who shouldn't be provoked. plus the three "guards" behind the two, they can fight at a glance.
Therefore, although Ma Xue'e's appearance is eye-catching, no one has come to spoil the fun.
Looking at the satisfied smiling faces of the little people around him, Luo Changning's heart moved: Sister Xue'e is so cute, I really want to pinch her face......
He didn't know what kind of mood it was, but every time he saw her, he couldn't help but want to spoil her.
However, in his previous life and this life, he has never had a creature like his sister, and he doesn't know how other brothers treat his sister.
Luo Changning took Ma Xue'e's hand and asked her to stop: "Wait......"
"Huh? What's wrong? Ma Xue'e turned her head and looked at him with a cute expression.
That expression made Luo Changning's heart itch, and he wanted to pinch her face even more.
After hesitating, he reached out and wiped the corners of her mouth with his fingertips.
Ma Xue'e was waiting for his next step, when she saw a bony hand leaning over, and then her face was warm, and something gently touched the corner of her mouth.
The heart was pounding, numb and tickling, as if the thing was a feather. It was as if someone was holding a feather and brushing the tip of his heart......
"Brother Changning, you, why are you ......" came back to his senses, only to know that it was Luo Changning's fingertips.
Ma Xue'e was so ashamed that her face was red, and she twisted and pinched, not daring to look at the culprit in front of her.
Seeing her like this, Luo Changning also felt that he was stunned.
Is he like this, is it considered light?
Isn't he, frivolous?
"Ahem, there's syrup on the corner of your mouth, I'll wipe it off for you." Luo Changning said embarrassedly.
After speaking, in order to increase the persuasiveness, he also raised his finger to Ma Xue'e, and there was indeed a thin layer of syrup on it.
"Oh, that's ......" For some reason, Ma Xue'e listened to this explanation, and her heart was empty.
Later, Ma Xue'e knew that some heartbeats had already sprouted, and there was no way to avoid it, and there was no way to hide it.
Her heart no longer belongs to herself, and she is like a moth who has no hesitation in loving Luo Changning. Even if his head is broken and he doesn't get anything in return, he is willing to give everything for him......
Xiang Tong looked at the two stunning people who were favored by God, and nodded with satisfaction: Okay, it's much more enlightened than the elm head of my young master!
As soon as Xiang Yinglong struggled out of a large pile of packages, he saw such a scene: the young man gently wiped the corners of the girl's mouth with his fingertips, and the girl looked at the young man with a shy face, wanting to say goodbye......
Even if I had prepared for it, it still tingled in my heart.
The feet are unsteady, and one stumbles and falls forward.
Boom!
The sturdy body smashed on the stone slab like this, and the goods fell to the ground.
"Ah, Brother Xiang, are you okay?" Before the residual warmth at the corner of Ma Xue'e's mouth dissipated, she was startled by the movement behind her.
Xiang Yinglong quickly got up, scratched the back of his head honestly, and smirked at everyone: "Hehe, I didn't break it, I have strong skin!" Just...... I just couldn't see the road and fell down. ”
Hearing this, Ma Xue'e breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at him: "It's okay, it's okay, I've worked hard tonight to my eldest brother." I'm also tired of shopping, so let's go back to the inn to rest first, divide the things into one point, and take some for one person. ”
After saying that, he bent down and picked up something scattered all over the ground.
Xiang Tong shook his head on the side, with a look of regret: Hey, the young master of his own family is silly and stupid, when will he be able to get a daughter-in-law, and he is almost at the age of marrying a wife. It's still good for Young Master Luo, he has a handsome face, and he will please girls, so he will start so quickly!
Luo Changning: Uncle Xiang, you seem to have misunderstood something! I have a brother-sister relationship with Xue'e......
Ma Qingyun took the things in his sister's hand, frowned, and looked at Luo Changning with a gloomy face.
Soon, the group returned to the Evergreen Inn.
After eating supper, bathing and washing, they went to sleep.
Ma Xue'e's room is in the middle, just in case of accidents, girls are always more dangerous.
In the guest room, Luo Changning was wearing a moon-white middle coat, rinsed his mouth with green salt water, and spit the water into a small basin on the wooden frame next to the bed
Just as he was about to rest, there was a knock at the door.
It's so late, who is coming to me, is it Ying Long?
Raise an eyebrow and walk over to open the door.
I saw Ma Qingyun standing outside the room, his hair had not dried well after washing, and he was dripping with water. Running through the hair, the water droplets along the neck and submerged into the placket, with his cold face, ascetic and sexy.
A teenager in development is the most seductive, pure and noble. There are signs of maturity, but they are still childlike and clean, unstained. It's the best time to enjoy it.
"Brother Ma has something to do with me? But about the martial arts hall ranking competition...... "Luo Changning can think of this is only this thing.
Before he finished speaking, Ma Qingyun stepped into the guest room, turned around and closed the door. The voice was as cold and indifferent as ever: "This way it won't disturb them." ”
This they naturally refer to Xiang Yinglong, Ma Xue'e and Xiang Tong.
Luo Changning poured a cup of tea and handed it to Ma Qingyun, and poured another cup for himself. Sitting at the table, drinking and waiting for him to explain what he meant.
"You and Xue'e...... Can only be friends. ”
??
Luo Changning was puzzled: "We were originally friends. ”
Ma Qingyun was expressionless, and glanced at him lightly: "Xue'e and you are not in the same world, you can't do it." It's okay to be friends, but you can't have other relationships, and you won't have them. ”
The tone without ups and downs, as if what he said was right, unquestionable, unresistible.
If Luo Changning hadn't reacted to the meaning of Ma Qingyun's words when he heard this, then he would have lived two lives in vain.
No wonder, ever since I touched Xue'e's face, his expression has been wrong. Although his face is still cold, he is a little more gloomy than usual.
sneered: "I don't know what the identities of you and Xue'e are." All I know is that no matter what, you are all my friends and that will not change. As long as...... You haven't changed! ”
"As for what you're worried about, Brother Ma, I don't think it will ever happen. The reason why I treat her well is simply because I treat her as a friend, as a sister, and looking at her reminds me of a long-dead friend......"
These are Luo Changning's heartfelt words, he loves Ma Xue'e well, but this affection does not contain the slightest child's affection. It's nothing more than the love of brother and sister, the righteousness of friends, and there is no other thought.
"All I think about is revenge, and I don't have any thoughts about the relationship between men and women. Besides, I'm only twelve years old, and it's too early to say that. ”
It's you, you shouldn't have extra thoughts about your aunt!
When Ma Qingyun heard this, his face softened slightly: "I only have this one sister, one ...... relatives, naturally, they have to think more about her. You can't protect her, not to mention that you still have revenge to avenge. And I just want her to be happy and carefree all her life, and not be bothered by hatred. Whether it's me or you, there are people who must be killed, Xue'e can't stay with us after all, but find someone who loves her and can protect her. ”
Speaking of this, Ma Qingyun looked at Luo Changning with a rare smile: "I hope you don't mind what I just said, I'm not targeting you, but I know what is most suitable for Xue'e." ”
"I understand." Luo Changning smiled back.
Of course he understands, if there is such a person who can help him protect his aunt, then he can also take revenge without worries!
Obviously, that person will not and cannot be Ma Qingyun!
The innate nobility exuded from the bones of the Ma family brothers and sisters is not something that can be raised by a small family, it must be a wealthy family and a powerful family.
You can imagine how powerful an enemy can be to provoke such a pair of brothers and sisters!
Ma Qingyun bowed, stood up and walked towards the door, about to open the door.
Luo Changning said meaninglessly: "A gentle woman like my aunt will be a good companion in the future who must be a gentle and talented person like the wind." I don't know what Brother Ma thinks? ”
Ma Qingyun was stunned and said with a smile: "I think a cold man is more suitable for her." ”
After saying that, he pushed the door and strode away.
At the table, Luo Changning's starry eyes narrowed, his eyebrows raised, and he drank the tea in the cup noncommittally.
However, no one can say for sure what will happen in the future, and it is useless to think too much. What's more, the aunt is eleven years older than Brother Ma, and the possibility of the two of them achieving positive results is almost zero. Although the Yaohua Continent is not as pedantic and conservative as the Dilong Continent in ancient times, the acceptance of this kind of thing is still very low, after all, some girls have already married at the age of eleven, which is not a big gap.
Ending a not very pleasant conversation, Luo Changning was finally able to rest quietly.
And his rest method is to meditate in bed and practice the dog-beating stick method!
Time must not be wasted in order to catch up.
