Xue Yue bowed slightly, hummed, and walked slowly. Li Li followed silently, unable to guess what Xue Yue wanted to do, so he could only wait and see what happened. The two went out of Xingzhuang and walked to a quiet pavilion on the shore of Dongting Lake. Xue Yue was not polite, entered the pavilion and sat down, skillfully broke the urn seal, threw an urn to Li Li, and lowered his jaw a little: "Sit down." ”

Li Li took the wine urn and sat across from her, silent.

Xue Yue smiled to herself, didn't look at him, just looked at the starry sky outside the pavilion, and said, "The day we met, it was also like this. ”

Li Li didn't know what to say, so she had to be silent and let her continue.

Xue Yue smiled, lifted the wine urn and drank it, wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, and said slowly: "I remember that day, you didn't speak like this, like a bowstring, so tight, I don't know what you were nervous about." ”

Li Li glanced at her, but didn't drink: "Is there one?" ”

Xue Yue drank again, lowered his head and smiled: "There are many people with secrets in the rivers and lakes, and everyone wants to hide their true colors, so when facing others, they will be nervous no matter how light or heavy. When she said this, she raised her hand and took a breath, suddenly turned her face, and looked at Li Li with a pair of eyes like autumn water, with a smile elegant and sad, "I don't know why, I always feel that your nervousness is different from those people." You're nervous, not to hide some secret secrets, but because you're too simple. I'm not a child anymore, and I've encountered some false and wrongful deceptions, so naturally I won't trust a person with one-sided words. She looked back at the quiet lake, where the starry sky was reflected, and it seemed that countless gems were hidden beneath the water, shining brightly, and she couldn't tell whether it was real or illusory. I don't even know about you. But probably fell into the evil spirit, and actually believed you. ”

Li Li's heart was hot, and then he hardened his heart and said coldly: "Believing without reason is stupid in itself. ”

Xue Yue smiled: "Of course I know it's stupid. But so what? If I can't even trust my own judgment, what can I believe? ”

Li Li was speechless, watched her hand fall into the urn, and drank another gasp of wine.

It seemed that she was drinking on her face, and in the starlight, Li Li saw that her face gradually turned a mist-like crimson, adding a rare fireworks to her already peerless complexion. I only heard her say slowly: "Later, I saw that you did a lot of small actions, and I was really angry." I don't understand why you're taking advantage of me. I'm so angry that I can't kill you with a sword. If my father hadn't arranged for you to send me to audition, I would have let you leave Cloudsdale. If necessary, I will solve you secretly to avoid future troubles. ”

Li Liha laughed, raised the wine urn in his hand, and took a sip: "Thank you Miss Xue for your mercy." ”

How could Xue Yue not see his ridicule, but she didn't have a seizure, she just smiled: "You don't have to pretend to thank me, you should thank yourself." ”

Li Li was stunned, his brows furrowed, and he was puzzled.

Xue Yue put the wine urn beside him and stretched out to the starry sky: "In your heart, the Xue family's participation in the selection of close attendants, no matter what the result is, is not a good thing for you." If I choose, you won't be able to use your relationship with me to deploy your plan. If I don't choose, the first thing I want to do is get rid of you. So you need to find a new backer, preferably out of Cloudsdale, so that you don't have room to use it later. Actually, you're right, and if I were in your place, I might think the same way. ”

"At that time, I really thought you were just another little person in the crowd. But...... One thing changed my mind. ”

"On the way to the audition, I saw you standing by the boat in a daze, and I thought you were thinking about your next plan, and I was so angry that I couldn't help but ridicule you. But your reaction was very strange, there was no explanation, no lying to be perfunctory, just a faint smile, and there seemed to be some helplessness in the smile. I suddenly thought, maybe you have your own troubles? It's just inconvenient to tell me. You and I just met in Pingshui, not even acquaintance, let alone friends. I can't ask you, and you won't answer me. ”

"Until you go to Shanglingyan, as soon as the girl named Xiao Yezi appears, your eyes will completely change." Speaking of this, she lowered her head and smiled, her expression gloomy, "You really endured it well at that time." But the eagerness, concern, and impulse at the corners of the eyebrows, if not ...... If it weren't for the love, how could it be so agitated. You are willing to choose to be a secret for her sake. She closed her eyes, picked up the wine urn, and took another sip of wine.

Li Li has never seen a woman who can drink so boldly in one sip, but when she drinks, she is so melancholy and beautiful. In the past, Li Li had never regarded Xue Yue as a woman, even if she was overwhelmed by the city and the country, before today, it was just an iceberg in his impression that had nothing to do with himself. It can be seen that she has unloaded her past arrogance at this moment, with wine in the corners of her eyes, frowning with sorrow, and a faint halo on her drunken red cheeks, the kind of sadness that is difficult to describe, following her eyes, wave after wave of dizziness into her heart, can't help but make him harden his heart, and gradually softened.

It turned out that she ...... It turned out to be such a soft person.

When Xue Yue wanted to drink again, Li Li reached out and pressed her wine urn. Xue Yue glanced at him, tilted his head and smiled: "Don't worry." I'm also among the top in Cloudsdale for alcohol. It's not like you. ”

When Li Li heard this, she remembered that she was so drunk in front of her that she couldn't walk, she couldn't help but smile shyly and let go of her hand.

Xue Yue tilted his neck and drank again. She held a delicate blushing face with a wine urn, raised her slender index finger slightly with her other hand, and gently pointed in the direction of Li Li, and said, "From that moment on, I made up my mind. No matter what you do in the future, as long as you don't violate the national righteousness and don't hurt my father, I will no longer hinder you. The corners of her eyes were slightly red, as if she remembered someone else, "There are really too few people like you." ”

Li Li guessed that her sadness at the moment was probably related to Yang Yizhao. He knew the rule that the servants should not have an affair with the Heavenly King, so he couldn't bear it, and his tone added a little worry: "Are you okay?" ”

Xue Yue suddenly raised her head and smiled brightly: "I'm fine." You don't need to worry. You're still worried about yourself, and that little leaf of yours. I heard that she and the Xiao gang leader are very close. You don't know that Gang Leader Xiao is a decisive person. If someone finds out about the two of you, I'm afraid you won't be able to protect yourself. ”

Xiao gang leader? Small leaves? Li Li was depressed in his heart, but he was really not sure, and he was silent for a long time before he said: "Let's take one step at a time." ”

Xue Yue muttered and repeated his words: "One step at a time? …… One step, one step? She suddenly laughed, "You can say such things to a big man who is away from your husband at night?" Since you have decided to love, how can you be timid and weak and perfunctory! It is necessary to know that a manly man, if he can't succeed vigorously, at least he must say a clear conscience in a chic manner! Only in this way will the woman you love not regret because she loves you. There seemed to be tears in the corners of her eyes, but they only swirled in their sockets, refusing to drop, and finally disappeared into nothingness. She held up the wine urn and prayed: "Xue Yue would like to use this wine today to salute Mr. Yeli and his unswerving love!" ”

Li Li looked at her high-spirited appearance, and a kind of determination was born in her heart. Yes, he should struggle, he should be determined, no matter what Xiaoye is, he just needs to do what he has to do. He picked up the wine urn and touched the wine urn in Xue Yue's hand with a smile: "Thank you Miss Xue for mentioning it." I would also like to use this wine to wish Miss Xue a good couple as soon as possible. ”

At this moment, he already deeply felt that Xue Yue was frank and noble, and he was already a rare credible and trustworthy person in his heart. He knew that Xue Yue hated lying and concealing it the most, although he couldn't tell all his life experience, and he didn't want to be misunderstood by her when he left, he immediately said: "Miss Xue is chivalrous and heroic, and she is tolerant." In the next feeling in my heart, I really shouldn't hide my life experience. I am not a disloyal and unrighteous person, but I do have unspeakable secrets. If he has the opportunity in the future, he will tell Miss Xue exactly what he has experienced, and he will never break his word. ”

After Li Li finished speaking, he did not hesitate to untie the purple green tribulation beside him from his waist and put his hands in front of Xue Yue.

"This sword was given by the master on his deathbed, and he never left his body for a day. I would like to take this sword as a token and place it on Miss Xue to show my sincerity. In the next situation, I have to turn around the sharp camp, and I know that I am uncertain. If you are lucky enough to survive, you must repay Miss Xue for her honesty and respect. ”

Xue Yue stretched out his hand to take it, grabbed the hilt of the sword with his right wrist, and the blade of the sword came out of the sheath with a thud. Although it was not the first time Xue Yue had seen this sword, he still couldn't help but be intimidated by the blade, although he didn't know where it came from, but looking at its style, texture, blade, and blade, it was almost comparable to her Tianxue Lonely, and it was indeed a priceless sword that was hard to find for a hundred years. She knows very well that swordsmen regard swords as life, and this sword is enough to show their sincerity. What's more, he had concealed his mentorship in every possible way, and he was afraid that he was also a pseudonym, but now he asked himself to collect the relics of his ancestors, and his friendship was even more profound.

"I don't know your name yet." She looked at the young man in front of her and said lightly, "I don't know his name, I don't know his person." ”

The young man in front of him immediately replied, "Li Li." The peach and plum do not speak, and they do not lose the slightest centimeter. ”

Xue Yue held the short sword in his hand and stared at the young man, his heart was surging, and he was speechless. Tonight, she complained about Yang Yizhao's various concessions and concealments, and her heart was depressed, and at this moment, she saw Yeli treating each other so sincerely, and compared the two, she couldn't help but have mixed feelings. She suddenly took the sword, lifted the urn and drank it down, and threw it into the lake with a raised hand. She turned her back to Li Li and stood up with her support to the pavilion pillar.

Li Li saw that her shoulders shook slightly, obviously emotional. I only heard her say proudly: "Thank you for the blessing, I am alone, and I don't have the good fortune of Xiaoyezi." However, if you entrust me, I will regard it as life. She stretched out her hands, wiped them on her face, tidied up her hair and dress, and when she turned around, she returned to her usual proud appearance, "The wine has been drunk, and Xue Yue's mind is also exhausted." Don't talk nonsense, don't leave it at that. When he sees him again in the future, he hopes that Mr. Yeli will get what he wants! She straightened her back and walked away with a noble bearing. Li Li looked at her resolute back, and for the first time felt admiration for her.
