Standing on the shore of the lake, Chunyu pointed to the ice not far away and said to Lin Ling'er:

"Sister Ling'er, look, I'm here tonight to give Young Master Tianning a meal, isn't it very beautiful?"

Lin Ling'er looked in the direction she pointed, a pleasure boat draped in a red curtain, like a bride on a hole/room night, sitting quietly on the edge of the bed, beautiful and shyly waiting for the groom to help her remove the hippoa.

Isn't this the ship she and Xia Yu saw during the day?

However, it was Chunxiao who was in command at the time, and it seems that tonight's trip should have nothing to do with Shangguan Qingqing.

Observed the surroundings, although this is also the lake, but it is far away from the Chongxiao Pavilion, far away from the small bridge, at the bend of the lake, and is blocked by a row of willows on the shore, in the dark night, if you don't carefully distinguish, it is really not easy to see that there is a boat here.

"This is Mu Tianning's idea?"

She asked.

Chunyu lowered his head and hesitated for a long time without saying why, and finally pulled Lin Ling'er onto the ice and walked towards the cruise ship, saying as he walked:

"Sister Ling'er, I'll send you over first, and then I'll pick up Xia Yu."

Lin Ling'er didn't refuse, and skated over while skating.

Chunyu stood on the side of the boat and shouted inside:

"Young Master Tianning, I invited Sister Ling'er to you."

As soon as the words fell, the small door on the cruise ship creaked open, Mu Tianning walked out of it, and when he saw Lin Ling'er, a smile immediately bloomed on his face:

"Ling'er, you're here, come in."

Lin Ling'er looked at the spring rain, and then looked inside, for some reason, she always felt a faint sense of unease.

"Come in, it's cold outside."

Mu Tianning urged again, stood on the side of the boat and stretched out his hand to her.

She felt that she was too careful, what else could happen in this Hades Palace?

So she put a hand in his palm and let her pull her onto the boat.

"Young Master Tianning, Sister Ling'er, I'll go back when the spring rain goes."

Chunyu said, his eyes wandered, lingering twice on Mu Tianning and Lin Ling'er's faces, and then retreated step by step.

Lin Ling'er saw that although there was a smile on her face, for some reason she felt that she was smiling very reluctantly, and even with a hint of bitterness.

"Let's go, Ling'er, let's go in first, it's cold outside, you're so thinly dressed, don't freeze."

Mu Tianning spoke with concern.

Lin Ling'er nodded, turned around and followed Mu Tianning into the cabin of the cruise ship.

From a distance, the ship seems to be small, but when you enter the cabin, you can realize the insignificance of people.

This is not too big a boat, but the space in the cabin is enough to accommodate as many as ten people, and there is a small round table in the square cabin, on which food, wine and other items are carefully prepared, and under the long windows on both sides are wide benches, presumably for visitors to enjoy the lake view.

Lin Ling'er looked around the cabin, many places were also decorated with red light gauze like the outside, and several red candles were lit on the table, illuminating the entire cabin, but revealing a hazy beauty.

She smiled and picked up a chair at the table and sat down, asking:

"Who laid this out?"

Mu Tianning sat down opposite her and asked rhetorically:

"What's wrong, you don't like it?"

Seeing his appearance, Lin Ling'er shook her head, his trembling feelings made her a little unbearable, and said:

"No, it's beautiful, I'm just thinking about who is so willing to put so much effort into the careful preparation and design for you, you should really thank and thank people."

Mu Tianning smiled, but his nervous feelings never relaxed.

Before coming, he had already thought of a set of words, if Lin Ling'er agreed to him, he would ask his brother-in-law to marry her home, if she didn't agree, then he would leave here immediately, and he would not pester her again in the future, but, I am afraid that between him and Mu Jiuxiao there will never be a return to the past.

"Isn't there anyone else coming? Why don't you see them? ”

Lin Ling'er's words pulled him back from deep thought, and he smiled awkwardly and explained:

"Oh, Chunyu and Ayin are going to pick them up, maybe it's almost there."

His mind was not on this issue at all, and his mind was replaying what Shangguan Qingqing had said over and over again, wine was bold and courageous, and he spit out the truth after drinking, and wine could be infatuated......

"Let's leave them alone, come, I'll toast you first."

As he spoke, he picked up the scalded wine jug and filled the wine glass in front of Lin Ling'er first.

This wine was specially prepared for him by Chunyu, and she also told him that this wine was very mellow and suitable for the atmosphere of this evening.

Lin Ling'er watched the delicate white porcelain bottle fall together in front of her eyes, and the transparent wine poured into the small and delicate cup, and a few drops of wine splashed mischievously on her hand, which was warm.

Looking at the glass of wine that Mu Tianning personally poured for her, she was slightly stunned, she was pregnant and not suitable for drinking, so she pushed the wine glass forward and said with a smile:

"I still won't drink the wine, let's talk about it when they come."

Mu Tianning was momentarily lost, the hand holding the wine jug clenched unconsciously, his smile was a little stiff, he didn't respond to her words, but took back the wine jug and poured himself full of wine.

Putting down the flask, after a moment's hesitation, he said:

"Ling'er, I have something to say to you before they come."

Lin Ling'er involuntarily raised the corners of her lips, it seemed that her premonition was still full of spirits.

I always feel that the so-called candied food tonight is not so simple, and it seems that this is indeed the case.

Not wanting to cause unnecessary misunderstandings, she immediately stood up.

"I'm sorry, I don't want to hear it."

Coldly throwing down a sentence, she turned around and wanted to leave.

"Bell!"

Mu Tianning stood up eagerly and grabbed her wrist,

"Give me one more chance, one last time, please."

Lin Ling'er stood in place, looking at the hand on her wrist that was so strong that it hurt her, and she couldn't help but soften.

She knew that Mu Tianning was definitely not a bad person, he was only 16 years old, and he was at the age when his love was beginning to open, if he was hurt emotionally at this time, I was afraid that it would leave him a shadow for a lifetime.

Raising her eyes to meet his flustered eyes, she couldn't give up, twisted her wrist to break free from him, and then sat down again, and said lightly:

"Say whatever you want, but remember, this is the last time."

She emphasized the words "for the last time".

Mu Tianning was relieved to see that she stayed, and his eyes stayed on her face for a long time, unwilling to take it away.

I don't know if it's because the curtain is too red tonight, or the red candle is too bright, reflecting her little face crimson, and her big eyes are shining, like two clear springs refreshing people's hearts.

She is like the most blooming flower in the mountains, and people can find her from the flowers at a glance, because she is so special.

However, just when he wanted to pluck the flower, he found that she was covered with small thorns, which were not enough to kill, but it hurt to touch her.

It is precisely because of this pain that he knows what love is.

He silently recited the words "the last time" in his heart, his heart was so sore and painful, that his heart twitched and he had difficulty breathing.

Unconsciously pressed his hand to his chest, he picked up the glass of wine in front of him, raised his head and drank it all.

Weakly putting the wine glass back on the table, he said secretly:

"Ling'er, you must know my background, right?"

Lin Ling'er looked at the blue-clothed young man in front of her, he was wearing a sky-blue robe today, he looked refreshing and casual, he should have been a high-spirited age, but at this moment he looked faintly bitter and helpless, she sighed secretly, remembering that when he first entered the palace, he shouted under the persimmon tree to cheer her on, he was so sunny at that time, and he smiled as if all the troubles in the world had nothing to do with him, and then look at the present......

She didn't want that his transformation was caused by her, she didn't have such great ability, and she didn't want her to have such great ability.

She nodded lightly and didn't say anything.

Mu Tianning poured himself a full bottle of wine, drank it all, and then smiled self-deprecatingly and said:

"I am an orphan without a father or mother, I heard that before I can remember, my brother took me in, and treated me like a brother, my house in the suburbs, what I eat, and what I have are all given to me by my brother, if it weren't for him, I'm afraid I would be like those people begging on the streets outside."

He smiled bitterly, tears flashing in his eyes.

Lin Ling'er didn't know what to say, and she didn't know how to respond to his words, it sounded like he was confiding in her, did she just need to be a listener?

At this time, he poured another glass of wine, and the moment he raised his face, tears slipped down the corners of his eyes.

Putting down the wine glass, he stubbornly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and continued:

"So, I'm a waste who can only live like a human being in the name of my brother! I have no identity, no status, I am nothing but living on my brother-in-law......"

"Mu Tianning, how can you say that?"

Hearing this, Lin Ling'er couldn't listen anymore, she slapped the table, glared at him and said,

"Since everyone is stored in this world, he will have his value, and a person's existence is irreplaceable by anyone, what can the status represent? A person like Mu Jiuxiao, who was born in the royal family, can only mean that he has a good life, and a person from a humble background will one day soar to prosperity, which represents how hard he has worked, and he has paid a hundred times or even a thousand times the sweat of ordinary people in exchange for success. ”

After a pause, she took a deep breath and said,

"I look down on people who feel sorry for themselves the most, and they are useless!"

Her words seemed to inject a shot in Mu Tianning's blood, his eyes immediately brightened, and his constricted pupils carried indescribable hope:

"So, Ling'er, you don't care about status, fame and fortune, do you?"

Lin Ling'er didn't understand why his reaction was so strong, and just said what he thought:

"These things, if you don't bring them in life, you don't bring them in death, P doesn't use them, I care about them, I might as well eat a few more bowls of rice......"

"Ling'er,"

He called her name, and his eyes dimmed again, and he stopped talking.

"I heard...... I've heard ......"

Lin Ling'er couldn't see a big man like this, so she said impatiently:

"Don't talk about anything."
