The moon is in the middle of the sky, and the stars are everywhere.

In the quiet and uninhabited valley, only the shadows of each other swayed slightly in the wind.

With such a beautiful scenery, boys and girls quietly hugged each other.

An Lingsu lay on the young man's shoulder and sighed silently.

So, she obviously had a lot of things to say, but she couldn't say half a word?

However, how could this Zhou Zechen hold himself like this? Why didn't he let go? Could it be that he wanted to hold himself like this all the time?

The girl's heartbeat accelerated more and more, and the crimson color on her face faded slightly, so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off it.

The boy's breath seemed to be getting hotter and hotter, and the sultry temperature inadvertently wound down her nose and into her heart, making her suddenly feel a little soft.......

However......

After all, they are not ordinary people, and the burden on the shoulders of the two of them makes them unable to enjoy the love of young people like ordinary people, at this age when love is just beginning.

In the sultry moonlight, An Lingsu put his hands on his shoulders and took a deep breath.

"Zhou Zechen ......"

The girl's voice was muffled by a finger.

The man's rough fingertips rubbed the girl's soft red lips, and the sudden electric current swept between the red lips and the fingertips, making the two of them in the moonlight can't help but tremble slightly at the same time.

The girl suddenly blushed and lowered her head. What's wrong with her? Is she a nymphomaniac or shy? Although she has never been in love, she has read a lot of idol dramas and romance novels in her previous life, so she can be regarded as experienced, right? But now, how can she, an experienced person, be shy in front of this cold ancient man?

No, she's not shy, she's just...... It's too hot.

That's right, it's too hot........ Who made this cold Zhou Zechen suddenly go against the norm, run over and say such hot and bold words to himself, and hug himself so tightly?

The girl couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and pursed her lower lip slightly. This little daughter's shyness, in the moonlight, became more and more delicate.

The young man's gaze became hotter and hotter when he looked at her, and there were layers of whirlpools in his inky eyes.

In this life, no one can separate them.

"Susu, I've already thought about it, I don't dare you say anything, I won't give up. Zhou Zechen said suddenly, his eyes were extremely serious, burning and bright.

"But now we ......," the girl thought of the situation and wanted to say something.

"No, but. Zhou Zechen was as direct and domineering as ever, and announced in a low voice, "Susu, I will never let go." Whether you want to, or not. "He has pestered her all his life.

He squeezed her hand as if he were swearing something.

"Zhou Zechen. An Lingsu finally mustered up the courage and looked up at him, but for some reason he suddenly felt aggrieved.

"Do you have to make the girls in the whole academy hate me.......? It's just deliberately embarrassing me. With that, she sniffed and looked over her head slightly.

"I didn't. Zhou Zechen, who had always been calm and indifferent, suddenly became a little overwhelmed.

He just wanted to be with her, why was it so hard?

"Susu, don't cry...... I do not know....... I, I'....... I'll listen to you, okay?" He suddenly became incoherent in front of her growing grievances.

She was like this, and he suddenly didn't know what to do, but he felt very distressed.

However, I have to say that when it comes to coaxing girls, especially the girls they like, boys are probably self-taught.

Zhou Zechen wanted to reach out and touch the girl's face, but she knocked his hand off.

"Who's crying?" said the girl, looking up in annoyance, "I won't cry." However, if you ......"

In this way, after some bargaining, An Lingsu finally made concessions based on the principle that low-key is king. ---- in the Valley of Trials, they can practice together and ...... together However, in the academy, the two have to pretend to be strangers.

In this regard, Zhou Zechen was very dissatisfied.

Why can't he appear by this girl's side in the open?

However, no amount of dissatisfaction, under the stubborn eyes of that girl, it became unimportant.

Zhou Zechen had to give in.

He also knew that his appearance would definitely bring a lot of trouble to this girl.

And how could he be willing to let her be wronged because of him?

As a result, she and he became strangers in the academy, but in the valley, they became the closest lovers and comrades-in-arms.

It's a secret between them.

An Lingsu smiled, lay down on the grass, looked at the stars in the sky, and blinked slightly.

"Su Su, what about those people who came last night?" Zhou Zechen looked down at her, the indifference in his eyes had long been replaced by gentleness.

He knew more about last night's events.

As early as half a month ago, he began to suspect that the Jinyi Guard, whom the emperor had secretly trained for ten years, had arrived near the Four Seasons Mountain Range.

It's just that Zhou Zechen didn't tell the academy about it because of his grandfather's strange attitude, but only revealed it to An Lingsu alone.

"They're all dead. An Lingsu thought of the scene last night and sighed.

Xiao Hei is indeed very powerful......

"Dead?" Zhou Zechen frowned slightly.

If those people all died at the academy gate, then the emperor would probably not give up.

"Hmm. Zhang Huang left Xiao Hei in the academy...... "An Lingsu didn't hide it from him, and told him what happened last night from beginning to end.

Zhou Zechen's eyes sank slightly.

"Those people are the ones who have entered the back mountain of the academy now?" he asked, asking the most crucial question.

"There are traitors in the academy. An Lingsu said in a low voice, "There is an academy that took Professor Xia's token back then and deceived the teacher in charge of vigilance......"

Xia Yimo, as a classmate who fought side by side with Zhang Huanghou back then, and Dean Chen's fiancée, naturally had a high status in the academy back then. Later, after she left the academy in resentment, the old professors of the academy remembered the friendship of the year and did not take back the token.

"Who is it?" Zhou Zechen asked, but he was silently calculating in his heart.

The Tang family, the Yuwen family, the Wang family, the Liu family, or the Yun family?

Recently, the situation in the court has become more and more chaotic, and even Zhou Zechen can't understand some of his grandfather's behaviors.

However, in any case, with the return of the crown prince to the palace, the relationship between the several major families in the court and China has become very delicate.

In his opinion, the people who can help the emperor enter the academy are none other than these families.

However, An Lingsu shook his head.

"Neither. She whispered, as if with a touch of melancholy.

Zhou Zechen was a little surprised.

"Susu, what's wrong with you?" he asked, squeezing the girl's hand.

An Lingsu shook his head, but he recalled Dean Chen's words in his mind.

"Every student in the academy is our child. If their own children make mistakes, how can the elders, not give them a chance to correct themselves and beat them to death?"

That night, she once asked Dean Chen a question, since the teachers of the academy had already discovered the abnormalities of some students, why didn't they deal with it earlier?

Dean Chen glanced at her, but said something like this.

An Lingsu knew that Dean Chen was a truly benevolent and generous old man. It's just that......

In Dean Chen's eyes, they are all his children.

"Zhou Zechen," An Lingsu said suddenly, "If one day, your good friend betrays you for some reason, what will you do?"

Zhou Zechen shook his head.

What does that mean?

An Lingsu rolled over and sat up and looked at him.

"Su Su," Zhou Zechen looked up at the sky and said calmly, "I have no friends. "Susu, my world, it's just you.

Don't have any friends?

An Lingsu's eyes widened.

"Before I met you, there was only one thing in my life, and that was cultivation. Saying this, Zhou Zechen looked back at the girl opposite and clenched her hand. "Since I was a child, my grandfather told me that I am the hope of the Zhou family, and I need to take on the heavy responsibility of the family and the responsibility of guarding the entire empire......"

An Lingsu looked at the young man beside him, and a hint of distress flashed in his eyes.

No wonder Zhou Zechen's temperament is so cold and arrogant, it turns out that his whole life has been spent under such circumstances......

The burden of his family and country has been on his shoulders since he was a child, and he has no friends, no relatives, only practice, cultivation......

"Zhou Zechen, have you ever regretted it?" she asked suddenly.

"Of course not. Zhou Zechen looked at her and smiled. "Susu, I'm glad that my grandfather forced me to practice like this since I was a child. Otherwise, where am I worthy to stand next to the genius girl of the academy today?"

In the past, there was only cultivation in his world, but later, there was one more her in his world.

An Lingsu was stunned.

This young man, who has always been cold, can even make fun of people?

Zhou Zechen smiled.

With her by his side, his sky was bright.

He took her hand and asked softly, "Su Su, you don't have many friends in the academy, right?" What's more, it's still a good friend.

"You guessed?" An Lingsu sat down on the grass and lowered her head a little sullenly. "I don't know what to do.......?

"Su Su," Zhou Zechen frowned slightly, and sat down beside her.

His world is only her, and in her world, there are still those friends...... The young man's heart was slightly sour.

"Since I don't know, let's let it go. There are some things that only time can tell. He said, swallowing the inexplicable flying vinegar in his head.

An Lingsu nodded slightly, looked at the starry sky, and was silent.

After a long time......

"Su Su," Zhou Zechen stood up and stretched out his hand to the girl on the ground, "Let's go." ”

"Hmm. She looked up at the night sky, "It's almost time." Senior Sister Qiuyu is afraid that she will have to wait in a hurry. However, Zhou Zechen, do you really not remember Senior Sister Qiuyu?"

"I don't remember. Zhou Zechen shook his head and said calmly, "There are too many ladies in the capital, where do I remember to come over?"

True or fake?

An Lingsu frowned slightly, deeply skeptical.
