Chapter 144: Sweet as Sweet (Second Watch)
"Poof", as if the tail of a fish slapped in the water, the surface of the lake suddenly rippled, and the guards walking at the back heard the sound and looked back in confusion.
However, both on the shore and in the lake, it was calm.
He grinned.
It's that I'm thinking too much, and I've been able to hold on to martial arts to the extreme, not to mention Su Jin, who doesn't have martial arts.
He turned away, not noticing a figure underwater, swimming swiftly towards the unconscious man.
The man's speed was very fast, and although the wide sleeves had a lot of resistance in the water, the speed did not decrease a bit, and the water waves reopened the fine hair on his forehead, and it was vaguely visible through the faint light under the water that it was Xiao Dezi.
He grabbed Su Jin and wanted to swim upstream, but he couldn't swim.
Xiao Dezi turned his head, only to find that Su Jin's feet were entangled in dense aquatic plants, and he couldn't pull them at the moment.
With a slight frown, he immediately bowed down, covered Su Jin's lips, pried open her biting teeth, gave her his own oxygen, and then pulled out the hairpin on his head, swam to her feet, and with a movement of his fingertips, a shiny knife tip popped out from the bottom of the hairpin, he did not hesitate to cut the rope on Su Jin's body, and then immediately turned around and took Su Jin to the surface like a dexterous fish.
With a "bang", they broke out of the water, and Xiao Dezi took Su Jin in his arms, panted and swam quickly to the shore and climbed up.
"Su Jin! Su Jin! He called out to her eagerly, his eyes full of pain, "Wake up!" ”
The man on the ground closed his eyes and let him shake his shoulders as if he were asleep.
Xiao Dezi became more and more anxious, and quickly helped her up, and slapped her palm on the back.
"Poof!" Su Jin finally reacted, spit out the water he drank in, and breathed.
Xiao Dezi suddenly collapsed on the ground, and at that moment his eyes changed in a thousand ways, relieved, painful, happy, distressed, joyful, nervous...
He seemed to have exhausted all the strength in his life, and he couldn't even stand steadily, so he only supported the ground with his elbows, crawled beside Su Jin, and held the person who was gradually recovering his breath in his arms.
The woman in his arms is like a snowflake that suddenly falls on a winter day, and it will sink into the arms of Mother Earth anytime and anywhere, so that he can't find it, and he can't find it.
His brown robe was clinging to his body, and the cuffs rolled down from his slender arms, rolling through the long smoke in the afternoon twilight, rolling through the thousands of indescribable feelings in his heart, with a burning pain as the best roses in bloom, with the crystal droplets, "pop" fell on Su Jin's eyelashes and bloomed.
Su Jin woke up the moment the water droplets fell.
She blinked, shook off the crystals stuck to her eyelashes, looked up at the person above her head for a moment, and suddenly reached out.
When Xiao Dezi saw her behaving like this, he subconsciously lowered his head and sent his face up.
Su Jin stretched out his hand and wiped off the black dust on his face that had fallen off because of the washing, wiped the water on his hands, and wiped his wet sleeves again.
Her movements were not gentle, and the mud and sand stuck to his sleeves scratched his face, making it painful.
Xiao Dezi didn't blink his eyes, just looked at her quietly, let her.
Su Jin suddenly stopped.
The young man in front of him was probably the most embarrassing day in his high-ranking and powerful days.
washed away the deliberate camouflage, gradually revealing his jade-like smooth skin, a pair of charming and merry eyebrows and eyes were brilliant, a high nose bridge, thin red lips, in this dim dusk, but still dazzling.
The twilight crow flew overhead, making a fluctuating sound of feathers, and Su Jin smelled the faint smell of firewood on his body—
It was the smoke and fire that had been contaminated by circling around the stove for too long.
Su Jin suddenly pulled the corners of her lips, but the smile did look bitter.
"Lu Xuan, what kind of hobby are you?"
"Follow the right hobby of the woman I love." Lu Jun's smile was still warm, "No, I don't lose anything, and I can let you wash my face with your own hands." ”
Su Jin smiled and rolled her eyes.
"It's cold, let's go back." Feeling that the woman in her arms was trembling slightly, Lu Jun got up with her in her arms, picked a small path and quickly returned to the house.
Because Lu Jun had already revealed his true face, he couldn't move around at the moment, so he had to go back to Su Jin's house. However, as soon as the door closed, Lu Jun sat down with his back to Su Jin, "You change your clothes." ”
Su Jin did feel that the wet T was too uncomfortable, and when he saw him doing this, he nodded, immediately took out his dry clothes, hid behind the screen and quickly changed.
"Alright." She put away the try-on clothes, and took out a pair of her own dry clothes for Lu Jun, "You can change it too." ”
The hand stretched out, and Su Jin suddenly regretted it a little.
Lu Jun is much taller than her, how can he be embarrassed to let him wear this dress like short-sleeved shorts?
However, Lu Jun took it and nodded, "Thank you." ”
He turned to the screen and took off his wet clothes, and then Su Jin suddenly heard a crackling sound in his bones, and when he looked at it again, the top of Lu Jun's head was already short.
Su Jin blinked, remembering that Jun Ran had said that there was a kind of martial art that could shrink people's bones and achieve the purpose of changing their figures. She suspected that Xiao Dezi was Lu Jun but she was not sure, probably because Lu Jun shrunk his body.
Lu Jun turned out after changing his clothes, Su Jin's eyes were sharp, and he caught a glimpse of him stuffing a small bag into his arms, but Lu Jun didn't seem to want her to see it, so he immediately withdrew his hand and reached out to pull her.
"The moon is dark and the wind is high, suitable for going out."
The two quietly came to the empty kitchen, Lu Jun lit a fire and cooked a bowl of ginger soup for her first, and he cooked a fish for her.
Looking at Lu Jun's familiar movements, Su Jin felt a little sour in his heart.
"Taste?" Lu Jun stretched out his chopsticks and carefully picked out the fish bones for her, "I tried my best to learn, but it doesn't seem to be so good." ”
"Good." Su Jin ate half of it and put down the chopsticks.
Lu Jun saw that she really couldn't eat, so she didn't force it, and said to Su Jin, "You go back first, I'll clean it up." ”
Su Jin wanted to help him, but Lu Jin seemed to see through her thoughts and shook his head, "I'll come by myself, I'm not used to others." ”
Su Jin pursed her lips and had to let him go.
However, after walking a few steps, Su Jin still came back quietly.
She stood by the door and looked into the room.
Lu Jun was squatting by the stove at the moment, pinching up the dust and smearing it on his face and neck, extremely seriously.
Su Jin suddenly covered her mouth.
However, Rao is movements are so light, Lu Jun still instantly sensed the existence of someone, and the moment she turned around, her eyes were fierce and murderous, but when she saw that it was Su Jin, there was a shallow helplessness in her eyes.
"Why are you back again?" He looked at his dark fingers and sighed helplessly, "This is just a disguise, you don't have a psychological burden." ”
Lu Jun's expression was a little cramped and uneasy, which made Su Jin suddenly think of the young man who couldn't distinguish onions, ginger and garlic, and would dislike him for a long time if he had a little water on his body.
At that time, Lu Jun was reluctant to even take half a step closer to the stove, but now he didn't care about the smell of fireworks all over his body, and was even willing to put down his cleanliness habit and smear the black ash that he originally hated to his face.
How much courage does it take to let go of the knot in my heart for so long, step into the dirt, let go of the identity of the prime minister, and be willing to be a eunuch who has been bullied?
Su Jin turned his face, pretending not to see the deep or shallow scars on Lu Jun's hands because he couldn't use the knife, and deliberately ignored the blisters on his white arms that were scalded by the hot oil, and covered his eyes with his arms to stop the tears from flowing freely.
"Su Jin, don't do this." Lu Jun suddenly opened his mouth and turned to the deeper night outside the window, "If you want to let go of your identity, why do I want to be bound by the position of prime minister?" Therefore, it is my own choice to let go of such an identity to chase you, and I will be willing to protect you well. ”
Su Jin didn't answer him.
There was silence in the room, and Su Jin only felt as if her heart was silently shrinking into a ball, and something was slowly throbbing in her heart, spasming so much that she couldn't breathe normally.
After a long time, she lowered her arm and glared at him with slightly reddened eyes, "You said that I can still defect to you if I have no money in the future, in your situation, if you can't afford to pay for a meal at that time, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people." ”
Lu Jun smiled, "If you really get to that point, let Ruyi go to street juggling, and you can always afford to pay for a meal." ”
Su Jin snorted and laughed, remembered something and hurriedly said, "By the way, you come here, what should you do if you want to?" ”
"She has a strong ability to take care of herself, so she doesn't have to worry about me, and she is obsessed with martial arts during this time, and she follows her master to learn martial arts in the house, and she also has things to do."
Su Jin was relieved when he heard this, glanced at the black ash in his hand, his eyes rolled, and he suddenly had a good idea.
On the second day, when the eunuchs who had sprinkled the sweep came together, they saw something floating in the water.
He rubbed his eyes, put down the broom and stepped forward to take a closer look, but as soon as he got closer, his face turned pale with fright, and he sat on the ground.
"Dead!"
Xiao Nanhao got the news and walked over leisurely, but his face was full of surprise.
"What's going on?"
"Your Highness! Your Highness! The eunuch was already frightened to tears, "There are dead people in the lake, look at the clothes, it looks like, it looks like... Sue-sama! ”
"Oh?" Xiao Nanhao pretended to be panicked and hurriedly said, "Come up and take a look!"
The corpse was white, as if it had been soaked in water for a long time, its face was swollen, and its face was covered with sludge and aquatic plants.
He turned his head and kowtowed, "Your Highness, this should be Lord Su." ”
Xiao Nanhao sneered in his heart, who else could this be Su Jin?
He made a sad look, "Master Su thinks that he has stumbled and fallen into the lake..... Report to your father and prepare for the funeral. ”
