Chapter 573: After the Misunderstanding
"I'm a liar?"
Han Xu felt that he had misheard, because Bai Liuyi's words were completely illogical, but he looked at Bai Liuyi's slightly sideways face that was almost completely away from his sight, and she didn't react to her loss of voice like an ice sculpture, and knew that what she said was indeed "You liar" These three words sounded a little childish and cute and coquettish.
There has been no normal conversation for a long time, and suddenly it starts, and the atmosphere is inevitably awkward, and in this awkward atmosphere, what Bai Liuyi said also made Han Xu completely confused and inexplicable.
After thinking about it carefully, Han continued to say seriously: "I didn't lie, you ...... Why do you ask?"
Could it be that the fact that she has friends in Jianglong Province has something to do with her inexplicably throwing her face? But what can be the connection between the two here?
Bai Liuyi's snow-white feet swinging like a fish's tail in the water did not stop, and the lip line was tightly pursed, the way of life that she was used to after being lonely for a long time, and the emotional fading, so that all her words and expressions were on the edge of emotionlessness, but the emotions surging in her heart at this moment, as well as the words that the tip of her tongue was about to bloom but could not bloom, were completely out of her comfort zone.
So she tilted her head and hung her head, but she was silent, looking at her fuzzy face in the rippling surface of the lake, and said nothing.
......
The fish was slowly cooked, and Han Xu served the fish soup in the cardboard box they carried, and slowly approached the setting sun, next to the snow-white shadow as darkness came.
"It's cooked. Han Xu said softly.
Bai Liuyi turned her head, as if the afterglow of the morning light in the sky at the end of the eternal night glanced at the fish soup, and then looked at Han Xu, who had been unable to guess Han Xu's thoughts, buffered all the discomfort in these more than ten minutes of thinking, and then asked, "...... Didn't lie to me?"
Han Xu just sat back next to the simple stove that had been built, the cyan stone was burned black by the flames that crawled out of the cracks, and nodded: "Well, I really don't know anyone, if I have to say, does Zhang Qiuyi and Zhang seniors count?"
Bai Liuyi turned his head again, looked at the black whining mountains and forests elsewhere, and whispered to the extreme: "Then, what did you do in the city that day?"
The mountains and forests are silent and empty, and no matter how small the voice is, he can hear it clearly, and said: "I said that I was looking for information, and I don't know anyone in that city." โ
Bai Liuyi frowned slightly and stopped making a sound, the amplitude of this slight frown was lighter than the arc of any slight frowning in the cold continuation, and it was impossible to catch in the gradually approaching night.
Han continued to think for a moment, thinking of the great sword that was now hanging above their heads, and his mind slowly brightened. As martial artists, they are much calmer than ordinary people in the face of life and death, but these calmness cannot be without a little ups and downs, and their state of mind cannot be as calm as the sea.
Han Xu took out two bottles of "Three Cups Poured", one of which was placed next to Bai Liuyi.
"Three cups of pouring" is a famous liquor product of the kamikaze Federation, which has a history of more than two hundred years, and the name literally means that it only takes three cups to pour people. Of course, the amount of alcohol varies from person to person, but this brand has been able to dominate the kamikaze cheap liquor market for two hundred years, and there is no doubt about its purity.
"Ruyi, there are some things that we will make clear today, if there is any problem, you can say it directly. โ
Bai Liuyi looked at the "three cups poured" wide flat body, hesitated for a few seconds, did not answer, directly grabbed the wine bottle, took a sip, and on the white face under the red light, you could still clearly see the two smears of red leached out of the iron thrown into the furnace.
Han continued to accompany him, and also grabbed the wine bottle and took a sip.
......
Wine is a good thing, it can paralyze the nerves, let the unspeakable voice vent out along the uncontrolled nerves, and make all the negative emotions in the heart sink under the mysterious power of alcohol, melting and decomposing.
Maybe it may not really have any effect on making people confide in their hearts, but it can become an excuse and a step for people to confide in their hearts, and it is also a scapegoat for people's presumptuous nature and then carrying all the faults on their heads.
After three rounds of drinking in silence, Han Xu's face was red, his tone was a little fluttery, and he said drunkly: "I really don't have any friends in Jianglong Province, why are you asking this question." โ
Bai Liuyi was a little drowsy from drinking, but she was basically awake, but the dam intercepted in front of the emotional river was soaked in wine, and her usual floating body was also a little out of control, with her hands behind her, supporting her body, outlining a graceful and light curve, facing the starlight in the sky, her tone also became a little floating, and said: "Liar, you must have gone to find a woman that day." โ
"Poofโ"
Another sip of wine squirted out directly from Han Xu's mouth, which seemed to be the words of the old husband and wife's complaints, which were never possible to come out of Bai Liuyi's mouth, but Han Xu heard it clearly, like a thunderbolt, which clicked and slammed into Han Xu's back, making all his knowledge of her almost explode.
"What did you say?!"
Alcohol is a good thing, and Han continues to realize this more fully now. Hypocritical men and women, men and women who are not good at expressing emotions and are unwilling to express emotions, a rare hypocrisy and misunderstanding, but also at the time of the handover of the end of spring and early summer, under the starry sky of the newly arrived province, they were able to collide and communicate head-on.
Bai Liuyi sat by the lake, her calves hanging in the lake, her head tilted back, her waterfall hair hanging to the bottom, scattered on the slightly damp yellow earth by the lakeside, her red face was mouth-watering, and a wine mark overflowing from the corner of her mouth drooped, shining in the firelight, like the liquid overflowing under her pink lips and white teeth. There is no exposed crispy meat, but it has the most irresistible allure in the world, which makes it difficult for anyone to sit still.
Looking at this scene, Han Xu's face couldn't help but heat up, and all the pity and love for her surged uncontrollably.
"You smelled of perfume that day, and it still smelled of perfume. Her eyes were also slightly misty under the influence of alcohol, and her language was not as weak as when she was drunk, and she still maintained her habitual coldness, which made people feel that the only effect of alcohol on her seemed to be to open the floodgates that blocked her entry and exit under the heart of the iceberg.
"Perfume ......"
Han Xu was stunned, not understanding where the perfume smell came from on his body that day.
Bai Liuyi never used these cosmetics and perfumes, but a woman's natural sense of smell seemed to be so sensitive, she easily smelled the smell of that cold body, and was sure that it was not her sense of smell that had a problem.
"Not only the fragrance, but also the obvious smell of women on your hands, who did you meet in the city, you don't know yourself?"
Bai Liuyi spoke very smoothly, completely different from the rhythm of the words before the wine, such as before the topic, there was no stuck, and the reason for the cold war that had been held in her heart for months smoothly rushed out of her heart in a few seconds, but because she was speaking, the mismatch between the language content and her personality seemed extremely weird.
"Feminine ......"
Is it the reason why she has been in a cold war with herself for so long? The reason for the ridiculous made Han Xu's jaw almost fall to the ground, and before he could think about it, Han Xu saw that she turned her head to look at herself, her hair was trimmed, making her cheeks appear more refreshed, and these pairs of eyes that had made him linger for several years, allowing him to see at a glance the clearest color in the world, and in them, there were flashes of ...... that he had never seen before. Tears.
The tears are like two transparent pearls, shining seductively in the starry firelight, washing her eyes extraordinarily clear, and these two crystalline insides are filled with the weakness of being a girl, the tenderness under the coldness of being fully armed, the grievances that she bears alone without saying a word, and the anger at the deception and betrayal of the person she cares about, and...... Reluctance in the face of death.
"You're a liar, you're all a liar......"
"Eh, don't ...... Don't cry......" Han continued to panic, his heart twitched fiercely, and the drunkenness evaporated a lot out of thin air.
"You lied ......"
She propped herself up, half-curled up by the lake, without crying, but there was a hint of hoarseness in her words, and the hard-hearted devil would only pity him when he saw it.
"I'm not lying!"
He had never seen her cry, and the chaotic cold in his heart crawled a few steps closer to her, and everything that happened that day was clearly imprinted in his brain, but he became incoherent.
"I, I don't know anyone! I, I just found a person in the city website who can help me, he can help me find someone, I need to find that person! But he's in trouble, and I'm going to help him solve it as compensation...... And then that trouble went to the red light district, and I found the red light district, and I accidentally ran into it...... I...... That's it, I didn't lie to you like you said. โ
Simple people never thought that Han Xu might have gone to the city to find some stumbling girls to talk about loneliness, but absurdly thought that she went to have a tryst with her old lover, this purity and the cuteness and pity embellished with tears at the moment made Han Xu's heart almost melt in the temperature of alcohol and fire.
"Really! it's really like that!" Han Xu said in a panic, "I'll take you to Jianglong Province later! We can go to prove that I beat people there, and that group of people will definitely not forget me!"
The night by the lake slowly fell silent with the nervous and angry voices.
After dozens of seconds, the slightly drunk Bai Liuyi raised his head and blocked one side of his cheek with his arm, as if he was wiping something, but he was actually covering his still shy cheeks and red eyes after tears, and his voice was as weak as a mosquito's chirping: "Really...... of?"
Han Xu was only busy explaining, forgetting that some information should not be revealed, and all she cared about was the source of the fragrance, and she didn't pay attention to the more questions in Han Xu's words that were worth pursuing.
"Really, really. Han Xu looked at her, who had never been so cute and pitiful as a little daughter, and pecked her head as hard as a woodpecker.
Seeing that her emotions were slowly calming down, and his breathing was slowly softening, obviously believing him, Han Xuchang breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't want to laugh, but was as strong as him, and couldn't help but want to cry.
They can stop in front of each other in the face of life and death, why did they not even quarrel in the cold war for the first time, because of such a ridiculous misunderstanding?
The reason is simple, because I care.
Caring about temperature is the most precious and cherished thing in the world.
Han Xu's voice softened, and he said slowly, "I'm sorry." โ
Bai Liuyi shook his head, wiped away the tears that had not dried out from the corners of his eyes, and said the same three words slowly: "I'm sorry." โ
Two thin sorry, swaying in the wind in the night sky.
The misunderstanding was concluded and resolved very quickly, and the cold war for several months did not come out in a bang, but ended in such a simple dialogue.
Both of them are complex people, but both of them maintain the most innocent side of each other, and it is the honesty and purity of the two to each other that makes it easy for each other to accept each other's explanations, and the misunderstanding of several months ends in such a gloomy way.
It's ridiculous, but the misunderstanding is resolved, and the haze of death is completely enveloped, so there is no time to rejoice in anything, but a little sad.
This misunderstanding that shouldn't exist in the first place, the only effect seems to be to make them half a step closer to each other, a dispensable comma under the big composition of fate.
Bai Liuyi grabbed the wine bottle and poured the last sip of wine into her mouth, her mental power completely pressed into the sea of knowledge, allowing the heat and numbness to wreak havoc in her body, which was soon to be invaded by the poison.
With this wine, she staggered to her feet, and then staggered to Han Xu's side, the estrangement and embarrassment caused by months of misunderstanding were crushed by the drunkenness of the two, and there had never been such a thing, Bai Liuyi gently leaned into his arms without the slightest pause.
After a few months of coldness, Han Xu finally felt the softness of her delicate body again.
"I ...... It's really going to die. Her eyelids drooped slightly, half-asleep. She had said it more than once, but this time, it was more real and sad than any of the previous ones.
There used to be hope for it, but now that the juncture of the suppressive power in her body is approaching, she can clearly guess what will happen in the near future, and the so-called hope is also delayed, and the flight of fate has reached the end of the void.
Han Xu gently rubbed her shoulder and said slowly, "I won't let you die." โ
This sentence has been said many times, and this time, as resolute as any time.
Bai Liuyi smiled sweetly, without hiding it at all, as if she had never been an iceberg girl, but a girl with a sunny face and a spring breeze.
She raised her head slightly, and her pink lips kissed deeply on the cold lips.
There was not much dampness and heat spawned by the charm, and there was no entanglement of an inch of red eel behind the teeth, just after such a simple but thick kiss, Bai Liuyi was completely drunk and fell into his arms.
Han Xu looked down at her sleeping face, and the softest smile on his face in a few months bloomed.
There was still a hint of drunkenness on his face, and the blush slowly disappeared.
Everyone has secrets, Bai Liuyi has never mentioned his mother to him, and even if he is in danger, he has never thought about and mentioned the Jiugu poison queen who may be able to save her, and Han Xu's explanation is also half-true and half-false.
"She must have done a lot of sorry things for you, so that you have suffered so many grievances since you were a child, never mentioning her, and even when she is dying, she doesn't even think that she will help you. โ
"But no, I don't want you to die, you don't want to see her, I have to take you to see her. โ
Han Xu carried her on his back, carried two swords, stepped on a place of starlight, and walked deeper into the mountain.
There was a reason why Bai Liuyi was drunk, because in the information given to him by Liu Yunchun's half-baked hacker, the poisonous queen who pinned her last hope on lived near the mountains and forests in front.
"This should be the first time I've done something you're not doing like I am. โ
"Bai Liuyi, I'm sorry, I still lied to you. โ
