Chapter 17: The Man in Black

A blue-colored moonlight butterfly slowly landed on the back of Bai Ranning's hand, leaving some light blue aura wherever it flew.

It seemed to see Bai Ranning's thoughts, and quietly accompanied Bai Ranning.

Bai Ranning looked down at the butterfly on the back of her hand, and a far-fetched smile appeared on her cold face, "It's okay, Xiaoyu." ”

"You don't have to worry about me, I'll just stay by myself for a while."

The butterfly seemed to understand what she said, and it flew up from Bai Ranning's upper hand, and flew directly in front of her, refusing to leave.

"Good, obedient, I'm really fine, you have something to do instead of caring about me, don't you?"

After Bai Ranning's reminder, the butterfly in front of him hesitated for a moment and then left, leaving only some light blue aura floating in the air.

Bai Ranning stretched out her hand and rubbed her temples, her chest was very blocked, the scar in her heart was lifted again, and the heavy past resurfaced in front of her eyes.

It's been a long time, but it still feels like yesterday.

"Ning'er, are you okay?" A gentle male voice rang in her ears.

Bai Zhanning's hand rubbing her temples paused, and then she turned her head to look at the person behind her.

The man was wearing a set of white casual clothes, exuding a warm and elegant temperament, as if he was not wearing modern clothes, but ancient costumes.

Rumo's broken hair was elegantly placed on his forehead, and the breeze blew into the shop through the window, and the wind chimes in the shop made a crisp and pleasant sound under the breeze.

There was a hint of worry in his blue eyes.

His thin lips are slightly pursed, his lips are red and his teeth are white, and the bridge of his nose is high and straight, which fits perfectly with his fair and soft skin.

The gentle and elegant temperament exudes on his body, which makes people feel that he is like a young master of a big family, and the innate gentleness and elegance in him do not need to be deliberately interpreted.

Because all this emanates naturally from him, and he does not deliberately shape himself into this.

The first image he gives people is that he does not eat the fireworks of the world, like a god who came down from the sky.

His voice was neither light nor heavy, like snowflakes falling slowly on the ground like goose feathers on a winter day.

There was countless tenderness in his voice, like a beautiful voice when a mermaid sang.

Shangguan Yening is really as gentle as jade, and the gentleness and warmth on his body can easily make others fall in an instant.

If it weren't for Bai Ranning's heart that only refused to let go of that person, otherwise even she wouldn't be able to resist Shangguan Yening's gentleness.

"You're here......" Bai Zhanning's voice revealed a feeling of exhaustion and weakness.

Shangguan Yening's good-looking brows furrowed slightly, his frowning appearance was also beautiful, he was born good-looking, and the gentleness revealed on his body made people unable to resist at all.

"What happened? Why is your face so solemn? I have a lot on my mind. Shangguan Yening looked at Bai Ranning worriedly.

Bai Ranning sat up, she shook her head, "It's okay, I'm just a little tired." ”

"Ning'er, you can't fool me about what you think in your heart, you honestly explain to me what happened today." His face became serious, and his gentle eyes were dyed with a hint of danger.

She had no choice but to tell him what was in her heart.

"That's the way it is, I'm panicking now, feeling that the air in my chest is being pulled out of my body little by little, and my brain feels a little deprived of oxygen." She was pale and looked emaciated.

In Shangguan Yening's opinion, the current white dye condensation was like a fragile ceramic doll, as if even if she touched her lightly, she would immediately shatter to the ground.

"So, now that you remember that heavy memory because of Xiao Du's incident, you feel very uncomfortable now, right?"

"Hmm......" Bai Ranning reached out and grabbed Shangguan Yening's sleeve, "Yening, in fact, I still remembered him......" Bai Ranning's voice became smaller and smaller in the back, and finally it was almost impossible to hear anything.

After Shangguan Yening listened to Bai Ranning's words, his complexion changed suddenly, and his face instantly became gloomy, he raised his voice and said in a deep voice, "Ning'er, have you forgotten how he treated you?" ”

"You've been in the lower realm for tens of thousands of years, has he ever come to see you? Has he ever contacted you? ”

"I'm afraid he's stuck with that woman named Ling Ruoyao all day long!" Bai Ranning was taken aback by Shangguan Yening's suddenly raised voice.

She looked at him with a slightly stunned face, and Bai Ranning found that every time she talked about that person, Shangguan Yening seemed to have changed.

Seeing that the person in front of him was frightened by him, Shangguan Yening, who was still angry, recovered his face in an instant, and his voice became gentle, but he could still hear the emotions he suppressed.

"I'm sorry Ning'er," he paused and looked at her apologetically, "just now...... Scares you, right? ”

Bai Dye Ning lit the incense on the table, and the white smoke slowly drifted in the air, and the fairy aura fluttered like a thin veil.

Bai Ranning choked up, she was silent for a long time, as if she was deciding something important, and it took a long time for her to speak, "Ye Ning, I still can't forget him." ”

Shangguan Yening's brows furrowed slightly, a fleeting look of sadness crossed his eyes, he sighed helplessly, and his expression relaxed slightly, "I knew you would say that." ”

"It's been tens of thousands of years, and your heart for him has never wavered......"

Ning'er, when will you let him go? Shangguan Yening was in his heart.

"We were all angry that day, and we just gave Ling Ruoyao the opportunity to make braids, and reason was carried away by anger before Ling Ruoyao fell for it."

"Even Jin Zha, who has always been sensible, was deceived by her, not to mention us who are angry with each other?"

"Well, you have a point."

"I still have a little confidence in him, Ling Ruoyao is not what he likes after all, he doesn't like people like Ling Ruoyao." When Bai Zhanning said this, there seemed to be starlight twinkling in his eyes.

She was so determined and trusted in him that she would say such a thing.

"But anyway, you've been in the lower realm for so long, and he's never seen you, aren't you angry at all? Didn't you ever blame him at all? ”

"There must be complaints and anger, but because I like him, I always find all kinds of reasons for him to convince myself, and these 10,000 years have been like this."

"But fortunately, you are willing to accompany me, otherwise I wouldn't have lasted so long alone."

"Thank you, Shangguan Yening." Bai Ranning suddenly followed Guan Yening with a serious face.

"Ning'er, you saved my life, I want to say thank you, and I am willing to stay by your side." Shangguan Yening still didn't have the courage to say the latter words.

In the end, he just smiled faintly and passed by.

"Okay, let's stop talking about these heavy topics, the atmosphere of the small shop has been suppressed." The corners of Bai Ranning's mouth hooked up a light smile.

The effect of the incense played a great role, making her heart gradually calm down, the scar that was uncovered may not be able to heal for a while, but the coming days will be long, and there will always be a day when the past will be crossed.

"Hungry? Would you like to get something to eat? Shangguan Yening asked.

As soon as he finished asking, Bai Zhanning's stomach made a gurgling sound, and he responded positively to Shangguan Yening's words.

The two of them looked at each other and couldn't help laughing, Bai Ranning rubbed his flat stomach, "I'm really hungry, let's go eat." ”

"I saw a newly opened shop on the way here, and it looks like it's very good, do you want to go?"

"Where? How did I not know? ”

"It's on the third floor of the mall opposite."

"Are you going?"

"If it's your treat, I'll go." Bai Zhanning smiled evilly.

"Let's go, snack." Shangguan Yening reached out and gently scratched her nose.

In her blue eyes was full of tenderness and doting.

An extremely fast black figure flashed outside the window, and neither Shangguan Yening nor Bai Ranning noticed it, because the person's speed was too fast.

He was masked and dressed in a black night suit, his exposed eyes were full of anger and murder, and his hands were clenched into fists.

The green tendons on his forehead were tight, and his eyes were terrifying as if he was about to eat people.

He recalled the intimate appearance of the two of them talking and behaving in the store just now, and the murderous aura in his eyes became even stronger.

The deep eyes are deep and precipitous, and the dangerous color revealed in the eyes makes people instantly frightened.

He looked coldly at the two figures who had gone away, and it was not until he disappeared from his sight that he snorted and left.

Bai Ranning felt a chill behind him, and reflexively turned his head to look behind him, there was nothing behind him, and it was empty.

Even this didn't eliminate her vigilance, Shangguan Yening sensed that something was wrong with Bai Zhanning, he stopped and turned his head to look at her, "Ning'er? ”

"Huh?"

"Why don't you leave?"

Bai Ranning walked towards Shangguan Yening with a serious face, she leaned into Shangguan Yening's ear, looked around with her eyes, and only after she confirmed that she was safe, she whispered, "I felt that someone was watching us just now." ”

Shangguan Yening listened to Bai Ranning's words, he turned his head to look behind him, there was nothing behind him, and a faint smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, "Ning'er, you may be too tired today, so you have become a little sensitive." ”

"Is that so?" Bai Ran Ning looked at Shangguan Yening suspiciously.

"Could it be that I can't lie to you? Let's go, Ning'er. ”

"Let's go for a big meal, and after we finish eating, all our worries are gone." Shangguan Yening showed a good-looking smile.

His smile is like the sun in winter, giving people a very warm feeling.

"But I really think someone was watching us just now."
