Chapter 5: Conversation by the Lake

"When the meal is ready, let's come and eat!"

His thoughts gradually stopped, and Ling Chu, who had shouted before, no longer knew where to go, Wang Yun got up and patted the dust on his trouser legs, and slowly walked towards the hall.

"Xue'er, the meal is ready, go wash your hands and face and get ready to eat. ”

Wang Qian entered the room and looked at the smirking Ling Xue and said.

"Well, I'll go right away, Cher is really hungry. ”

Getting up and getting out of bed, looking at the dusty face in the wooden basin, Ling Xue couldn't help but smile.

Bending down to pick up a handful of water, smearing it evenly on the cheeks like a burning cloud, after repeating, the dust and flushing on the face have gradually subsided, and then, Ling Xue picked up a coarse cloth to wipe off the water droplets, looked at the old mirror, nodded with satisfaction and left the room.

Inside the hall......

"Hey, hey, hey... My brother and sister's craftsmanship is getting better and better, and the fragrance is much stronger than wine. ”

Wang Qiang's successive praises made Ling Chu, who was so excited, couldn't help but roll up his sleeves and go to the kitchen to work.

"Hmph, hypocrisy!"

Ling Zhengyun looked at Wang Qiang, who was patting on the back, and said with disdain.

In the courtyard, Ling Xue, who had just gone out, met Wang Shuang, who was also walking, and the moment their eyes met, they hurriedly dodged, and their immature little faces were slightly embarrassed at the same time, but also with a hint of nervousness, and the two stood there in a daze for a while, not knowing what to do.

"Oh, what should I do, should I tell Brother Wang Shuang, well, I'm really ashamed..."

Ling Xue, who lowered her head, fiddled with the corners of her skirt, not daring to look up at the young man opposite.

"I'm so useless, why don't I even dare to look at Xue'er now..."

Although he had Ling Chu's heart booster, Wang Shuang still seemed extremely uneasy, and he could only choose to remain silent at the moment.

After a long time, realizing that wasting time here was useless, Wang Shuang's clenched fists gradually relaxed, and he took a deep breath.

"Cher, I..."

Hearing Wang Shuang's shout, Ling Xue raised her head shyly, facing the burning gaze, her chest was pounding like a deer.

Looking at each other again, Wang Shuang, who was panicked, hurriedly changed the topic, "Don't let them wait, let's go in and eat." ”

"I see, it seems that I am thinking too much..."

Hearing this, Ling Xue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked a little lost, but still smiled and said, "Well, then I'll go in first, Brother Wang Shuang, you should come quickly." ”

Looking at Ling Xue who walked into the hall, Wang Shuang lowered his head in frustration, and secretly thought, "It's not easy to get a little manly... Hey, I'm really convinced, forget it, there will be a chance in the future, let's go eat first. ”

Sitting down around the round table, looking at the table full of food, Wang Shuang and Ling Xue were indifferent, however, the adults ate happily, praising while eating, as if they didn't want to lose their interest, the two avoided each other's eyes and began to eat.

Sensing that something was wrong with the atmosphere, Wang Qiang put down the dishes and chopsticks and asked, "Lao Ling, didn't you have something to say to me when you were drinking just now, can you say it now?"

Seeing Wang Qiang squeezing his eyebrows, Ling Zhengyun patted his head, looking suddenly enlightened.

"Hey, you see my memory, but it's not convenient to talk about it here, I'll tell you when I go out. ”

After that, he dragged Wang Qiang out of the door.

A thin body pulling a strong man with five big and three thick looks a little out of place, Wang Qian and Ling Chu couldn't help but smile, both of them were ice and snow smart, and they looked at each other and quietly left, leaving only the two who had their own hearts.

After a long psychological struggle, Wang Shuang suddenly stood up and took Ling Xue's hand.

"Cher, come with me to a place, I have something to tell you!"

Staring at the young man's dark eyes, Ling Xue was apprehensive and a little happy at the same time, allowing him to take his soft little hand and run away.

The two ran for a while, and finally stopped by the lake at the edge of the village, facing this lake, and the deep sadness that appeared in Wang's eyes, hidden deep self-blame.

Without speaking, Ling Xue just quietly looked at the ripples on the surface of the lake, as if she remembered the distant past, and the corners of her mouth began to rise slightly, looking a little sweet and joyful.

The afterglow swept over the quiet and gentle smiling face, Wang Shuang's heart was like a knife, and his throat became extremely dry, he didn't turn his head to look up at the sky, trying his best to hold back tears.

After a long time, the young man turned around, and there was only calm left on that simple, simple, and slightly handsome face.

Facing Ling Xue, who was still thinking about it, Wang Shuang said slowly.

"Cher, do you remember when you were ten years old?

Hearing this, Ling Xue winked playfully, looking very excited.

"Of course I remember, when I was playing here, I didn't stand firm and accidentally fell in, Brother Wang Shuang, you don't understand water and jumped down, and in the end, it was Brother Jianying who picked you up and me. ”

The heart that tried to disguise was like water, but it was destroyed and shattered under the girl's senseless expression, Wang Shuang clenched his fists tightly, and even the rough nails that still had tooth marks actually pierced into his palms.

"Yes, I've always been like this, blindly doing something wrong, and every time it's counterproductive..."

"In contrast, Sword Shadow is brave and sensible, and has been protecting us. ”

"Every time I encounter a wild beast, my legs tremble with fear, and when I get lost, I just crouch and cry. ”

"But the sword shadow is brave enough to face those beasts and drive them away, and when I am in a desperate situation, he will also guide me in the direction of home..."

"Hehe, compared to him, I'm just a useless waste, Xue'er, you like Sword Shadow very much, right..."

He smiled self-deprecatingly, but tears couldn't stop flowing.

Facing Wang Shuang, who was so unconfident, Ling Xue suddenly felt a surge of anger in her heart, but it turned into a touch of tenderness in an instant.

I saw her looking at the moon on the lake, and her smiling eyes were full of self-evident affection.

"Indeed, in terms of appearance, Brother Sword Shadow is much stronger than you, and in terms of personality, Brother Sword Shadow's sometimes cold and sometimes gentle character is also very likable~ As for courage and wisdom, it is not worth comparing..."

"Overall, Brother Wang Shuang, you are really useless!"

Hearing this expected evaluation, the smile on Wang Shuang's face became even more bitter, and he clenched his fists even harder, as if only that kind of stinging pain in the heart could relieve the sourness in his heart.

The beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and in it, mixed with a little shyness, there was more left, but it was sweet joy......

"But there was a fool who jumped into the lake when Cher fell into the lake that year, knowing that he didn't understand water, and risked his life to save me..."

"There is a fool, when Brother Sword Shadow went to pick wild fruits that year, a wild beast quietly lurked over, he was so frightened that his legs were weak and his face turned pale, but he still bravely stood in front of Xue'er when the beast was about to attack me..."

"Skinny, he is much similar to the beast in terms of strength and physique, but he still fights bravely, maybe that time it was the heavens who helped, I don't know what's going on, the hungry beast actually gave up on us and fled, and when the sword shadow brother rushed back, he had already fallen in a pool of blood, but he was still asking if Xue'er was injured, and then he was unconscious. ”

"Moreover, the shocking tearing claw marks are still on his body to this day..."

"There was a fool who competed with Brother Sword Shadow in the forest that year to see who would go out first. ”

He took Xue'er to take a shortcut, and in the face of the path full of thorns, he did not have a trace of timidity, but used his body to break a smooth path. ”

When he walked out, he was covered in bruises, but he said nonchalantly, "I can be regarded as walking out before the sword shadow..."

"This is also the first and only time that fool has won against Brother Sword Shadow. ”

"That year......

"I..."

"But even so, compared to Brother Sword Shadow, he is still so insignificant. ”

However, every time Cher is by his side, she feels so warm, and every time she is by his side, Cher is at ease. ”

"It's really hard to understand, but, I don't know when Cher didn't want to leave his side anymore..."

The moment the words stopped, Ling Xue had already burst into tears, but her face was filled with a happy smile.

Hearing this, Wang's body weakened, and he fell to the ground in a daze, and gradually, his originally dim eyes gradually became brighter.

"Hiss"

With a gasp, Wang Shuang realized that his nails had pierced deep into his palms.

Seeing this, Ling Xue hurriedly ran to sit beside him, and saw the bloody wound on the palm of her hand, tears flowed out, and she didn't forget to scold in her mouth, "You are stupid, why are you so stupid, it hurts, you actually shed so much blood..."

"Why are you doing this, you're angry with me, I'll beat you and me!"

Ignoring Ling Xue's worries, Wang Shuang jerked back his palm and said, "Xue'er, I'm sorry, in fact, I just want to say that if you fall into the lake, I will definitely be able to save you!"

Staring at the determined young man, Ling Xue laughed out loud, and muttered in a low voice, "Crow's mouth, I'm no longer the kid I used to be, besides, who wants to fall in..."

Looking vaguely at the sparkling lake, Ling Xue muttered, "Yes, since that time Xue'er fell in, that fool has been wandering around the lake for several days, and finally at dusk one day, I still remember that day was really beautiful, he jumped into the lake, Xue'er was frightened, I remember crying again..."

"But when I approached, he was swimming in the lake very freely, and it didn't seem like he didn't know water at all, but Cher knew that he had eaten a lot of lake water, and he learned it by his own beliefs, and he didn't rely on anyone..."

Hearing this, Wang Shuang was silent for a long time, and it wasn't until a long time later that he asked a little timidly, "Xue'er, did I disappoint you today." ”

"Well, I'm quite disappointed, but anyone compared to Brother Sword Shadow, it is inevitable that they will feel this way, right?"

"I always feel like he's a person from another world, not to mention why those strange spells..."

"Brother Wang Shuang, do you think that Brother Sword Shadow is sometimes terrifying. ”

"Whenever he faces the beast's cold eyes, and the brutal methods, sometimes Cher also wonders, will he be killed as a beast in the next moment, whenever this happens, my body will tremble uncontrollably, trying to escape from him..."

Facing Ling Xue, who was trembling all over, Wang Shuang ignored the embarrassment and took her delicate waist into his arms.

The sudden intimate contact made Ling Xue a little overwhelmed, and she struggled a little before settling down.

At this time, the bright moonlight sprinkled on the young man's handsome face, and I have to say that the current Wang Shuang is indeed very charming.

The panic in his heart gradually subsided, and after Ling Xue, whose body was not trembling, changed to a more comfortable position, she leaned her head on Wang Shuang's chest, feeling his heartbeat and breathing, and her cheeks began to burn like clouds again.

"Xue'er, no matter when, the sword shadow will not hurt us, although I, like you, am sometimes afraid of him, but the feeling you are talking about should be his misfortune. ”

"Hmm... Perhaps. ”

Holding the girl who looked like a warm jade in his arms, smelling the faint fragrance emanating from her body, Wang Shuang's breathing couldn't help but become short......

As if sensing that something was wrong, Ling Xue suddenly broke free from Wang Shuang's embrace, and said in shame, "You big villain!"

With that, he raised his hand and slammed it on the back, but because the force was too small, it was almost equivalent to a massage.

Seeing Wang Shuang, who was enjoying himself with a dead face, Ling Xue pushed him hard, don't turn her head and stop talking.

Faced with Ling Xue's rare shyness, Wang Shuang's mentality had also returned to normal, and he couldn't help but joke, "Xue'er, are you shy?"

Slightly puffing up her cheeks, Ling Xue thought in her heart, "I'll bear ......"

"Hey, are you really shy?

"I... Bear with me. ”

"Don't say it, you're actually pretty cute, like ......"

Before the teasing was over, Ling Xue suddenly turned her head and grabbed Wang Shuang's arm and took a vicious bite.

Immediately, a scream like killing a pig pierced the sky.

"See if you dare to mess with me in the future, this time it's light, and next time it won't be so cheap for you!"

Looking down at the row of deep tooth marks on his arm, Wang Shuang, who wanted to cry without tears, was just about to open his mouth to complain, but when he looked up, he saw Ling Xue with a trace of red at the corner of his mouth, for a while, he seemed to forget the pain on his arm, stood up and scratched his head, and smiled stupidly.

Facing Wang Shuang, who was bullied by himself like this, and neither fought back, Ling Xue felt like honey in her heart, raised her little hand to grab the injured arm, and while gently blowing the cold air, she didn't forget to threaten, "This is the end of angering Miss Ben, see if you dare in the future." ”

I didn't see Wang Shuang speak for a long time, and when she heard the increasingly rapid gasp, Ling Xue raised her head in surprise, only to see Wang Shuang staring straight at herself.

Suddenly, a wave of shameful joy welled up in my heart.

Biting her lip gently, Ling Xue also stared at the young man in front of her quietly.

Seeing Wang Shuang's face getting closer and closer, Ling Xue obviously realized what was going to happen next, panicked, and had a hint of expectation in her heart.

As if she had made up her mind, Ling Xue put her hand on her chest, and her beautiful and bright eyes had already been closed with shame.

Seeing this situation, Wang Shuang was even more bold......

"What's wrong with Shuang'er, what's going on with that scream just now?"

Wang Qiang and his wife, who were looking for their children outside, heard the screams and quickly arrived, only to find that their children were with Ling Xue.

The sudden inquiry caught the two of them off guard, Ling Xue turned around shyly and grabbed the corner of her skirt silently, on the other hand, Wang Shuang stammered with a nervous face, "Mother, I, I didn't want to kiss Xue'er just now." ”

It's okay not to explain, after explaining, it's obvious that there are no three hundred taels of silver here.

After a brief moment of surprise, the embarrassed Ling Xue roared, "Brother Wangshuang, you big fool!"

After saying that, he hurriedly passed by Wang Qian and Wang Qiang......

Looking blankly at the distant Qianying, Wang Shuang said to himself, "I haven't done anything yet..."

Seeing Ling Xue's reaction, Wang Qiang, the old man, smiled and said, "Hey, hey, kid, it's not simple, I want my father to be with your mother..."

Before he finished speaking, he felt an ominous aura, and Wang Qiang immediately closed his mouth obediently.

"Shuang'er, it's time to go home and sleep, it's so late. ”

"Uh-huh. ”

Meanwhile......

Ling Zhengyun and Ling Chu were chatting at home, when they suddenly saw their daughter pushing open the door with a look of shame, and walked directly to their house without saying hello.

"Cher, what's wrong?"

Seeing the angry Ling Xue, Ling Chu said with a concerned face outside the door.

"It's nothing, I'm going to sleep, don't bother me!"

Hearing this, Ling Zhengyun and Ling Chu were confused, and their faces were full of astonishment.

Ling Xue's room is not big, but it is very warm, the walls are full of all kinds of specimens of flowers and plants, and there are a few old books by the window.

Gently playing with the green silk, she looked at this nocturnal grass and thought a lot......
