Chapter 101. empathy

I was bullied by him all the way. We arrived at the banks of the Jinshui River and stayed at an inn.

Because it was almost late at night when I arrived, there weren't many guests in the inn lobby, just one guy sweeping the floor.

I sat on a bench in the lobby and waited for Niankong to arrange a room.

Suddenly, I heard a rush of footsteps, followed by some anxious calls:

"Miss! Slow down, wait, slave! ”

I looked up curiously, and I couldn't help but be stunned when I met a pair of peach blossom eyes.

When she saw me at the same time, she was stunned, and then her eyes widened.

"Cold! ……”

As soon as she spat out a word, she seemed to suddenly realize something, and immediately stopped her voice and rushed straight at me.

She came so fast and so fast that before I could dodge, she ran into me.

I was sitting at one end of the bench, and when she hit me like this, I fell straight off the bench.

When I didn't know what to do, my arm was forcefully supported, and I was able to stand still.

"Are you alright?" There was a hint of displeasure on Niankong's face.

"It's fine."

As soon as I smiled at him, someone snatched my arm out of Niankong's hand.

I was stunned and looked at the girl who was between me and Niankong. I saw that she was staring at Niankong.

Hey? Hasn't this girl Luan Yi always liked this guy?

How can there be such a big change in attitudes now?

She stared at me for a moment before turning to look at me.

"So you're really not dead!"

Die?

Only then did I remember that this was the first time I had met Yue Luanyi with my true face.

So, is she treating me as the original owner?

Her eyes were full of suspicion, and suddenly she seemed to notice something, and her nose leaned over to me, sniffing left and right, and then sniffing on the back of her hand.

As if verifying something, she said with great certainty:

"You are Xuan'er, not Leng Qingqian!"

I'm dumbfounded.

Did she smell it?

"You are Xuan'er! You smell the same as the body wash you gave me in the first place, and I won't be mistaken. ”

I was stunned.

This girl is a ghost elf.

"You guessed right." I admit it.

Yue Luanyi's face flashed with color, but his face suddenly sank again.

"Xuan'er, you said, did this guy forcibly keep you by his side because you look like Leng Qingqian? How did he bully you? ”

The corners of my mouth twitched unconsciously, and my eyes stole towards Niankong.

The displeasure on Niankong's face was a little more obvious than Fang Cai, and his eyes looked away.

Yue Luanyi looked at me and looked at Niankong, and seemed to be even more angry.

"What do you see him doing? You don't have to be afraid, I've got your back! Tell me, did he force you to stay with you? ”

I'm a little embarrassed.

"It was true at first, but ......"

"I knew it was going to be like this!"

She snorted and turned to Niankong.

"Ling Niankong, I still liked you so much before, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person!

When I was in Ling's Mansion, I could see that Xuan'er was extremely reluctant to stay with you, and what I saw in Yuqiong Mountain must have been forced by you to force Xuan'er! ”

Yuqiong Mountain?

When I was in Yuqiong Mountain, I seemed to accidentally let Luan Yi see the scene of Niankong hugging me.

I remember that she was still angry at the time, but now it is so natural to talk about it?

Before I could figure it out, Yue Luanyi was going to pull me upstairs.

"Xuan'er, don't worry, as long as I am here, I will never let him bully you again, we will stay in one room tonight."

Hearing this, I went to look at Niankong with some anxiety, his face was really not good-looking, and he reached out to pull me.

I dodged it, winked at him, and told him not to work against this little ancestor.

He understood, but he was unwilling, and his brows furrowed.

Yue Luanyi pulled me to walk in front, and I took advantage of her inattention, turned back to Niankong and gestured:

"I'll look for you when she's asleep."

Niankong reluctantly gave up.

I went back to the room with Yue Luanyi, but she refused to sleep, so I had to lie on the bed and chat with her, and I patiently followed her.

It was nearly two hours before she began to fall asleep, and I was so sleepy that I couldn't open my eyes.

Then I suddenly heard a careful knock at the door, and I immediately refreshed myself, got out of bed lightly, put on my shoes, and came to the door.

As soon as I opened the door, I was dragged out of the door with a strong force, and then into the next room.

"If I hadn't come to you, wouldn't you have come tonight?"

"Say what?"

I entered the inner room and sat down on the soft couch.

"I just put her to sleep."

He came over in a few steps, hugged me, and then picked me up, wrapping my legs around his waist.

"Then can you put me to sleep now?"

As he spoke, he carried me to the bed, and he knelt in front of the bed, looking up at me.

I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Ling Niankong, how old are you?"

As I spoke, I involuntarily pinched his face.

"If you want me to coax you to sleep, call my sister first."

"What?" He had a funny look on his face.

"What? Don't want to call? ”

I pouted pompously.

"Anyway, my real age is ten years older than you, and you don't suffer at all by calling Sister Sheng! Come, call my sister! ”

I craned my neck triumphantly.

"Okay!" He suddenly smiled wickedly.

I felt something wrong, and the next moment he threw myself on the bed.

"I'm afraid that I dare to scream, but you dare not respond!"

As he finished speaking, his lips fell.

I panicked and hurriedly pushed him away.

"What do you do?"

"I've been waiting for you for two hours, what do you say I'm going to do?"

He pulled my hand away, bowed his head and kissed again.

I hurriedly said, "No! I'm going back! ”

His movements paused, and his face sank.

"Where are you going? Let me go, go with her? ”

"You get up first, I have something to tell you."

He didn't move, he just stared at me.

I deliberately turned a cold face, and then he sat up reluctantly. I got up and sat down next to him.

"She sneaked out." I said.

Niankong raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and motioned for me to continue.

"Have you heard of Cui Xiaohou of Yongqing Mansion?"

I leaned on his side, put my arms around him, and tilted my head to look at him.

"His grandfather Cui Sheng was the governor of the Chaoshui garrison of the former dynasty.

When Yue Xiongqi led his troops all the way north, Cui Sheng took the initiative to surrender when he saw that Feng was away from the general trend, and made great contributions in Yue Xiongqi's capture of the imperial city, so he was named the Marquis of Yongqing by Yue Xiongqi, and the title was passed down from generation to generation.

Cui Sheng's son has been frail and sickly since he was a child, so he abandoned Cui Sheng's martial arts and changed to literature. But he still died of illness before he was thirty years old, leaving only one son, named Cui Jinqian. is what people call Cui Xiaohouye. ”

"Then this Cui Jinqian...... What kind of people are they? I asked curiously.

"People live up to their names." Niankong replied lightly.

"So, this Cui Xiaohou is a humble son? …… I don't know how old he is......"

"It should be twenty-eight years old."

"Sixteen?!" I was a little surprised.

I couldn't help but look the man next to me up and down carefully.

Niankong couldn't help frowning when he saw me like this.

"What are these doings, you ask? Why are you looking at me like that? ”

I couldn't help but laugh evilly:

"I'm wondering what Cui Jinqian is better than you, and he actually compares you to you."

"What do you mean?" A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"It means that the ninth princess doesn't like you anymore, and she likes the humble son instead."

I said with a smirk.

Niankong suddenly turned his head to look at me beside him. "Really?"

"Yes!

And that girl said, people are not like you with an ice cube face, but you can be modest! I seem to like Luan Yi a lot.

But she still Luan Yi, otherwise she wouldn't have sneaked out.

But you've been angry with her before, and you've never seen her run away from home. It seems that she really likes Cui Xiaohou Ye's ......"

As I spoke, I unconsciously went to look at him, but I saw that his face was gloomy.

Why did he have such an expression?

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" I poked him in the shoulder.

"Nothing." Although he said this, he still looked thoughtful.

I pouted, feeling a little unhappy.

"What? I heard that people don't like you anymore, and you feel lost? ”

He finally came back to his senses. "Nonsense."

I snorted.

"Am I talking nonsense?"

The qi in his heart gathered little by little, so he pretended to look at him again.

"I'm really getting more and more curious about Cui Xiaohou now, maybe people are really better than you."

Hearing this, his eyes lit up, and he raised his hand to clamp my chin with the tiger's mouth, but he didn't use much force.

"With me, you dare to think of other men, aren't you afraid that I will teach you a lesson?"

He squinted slightly, deliberately gritting his teeth.

I wanted to laugh a little but I couldn't help it.

Ling Niankong, are you scared of me?

My face was a little deformed by him, but I still struggled and said, "Of course I'm not afraid!" ”

I approached him a little closer, and said a little shamelessly:

"Teach me? Are you willing? Or did you not like me that much, and that it was just rhetoric before? ”

"You! ……”

He let go, choked on me and couldn't speak.

I smirked and slipped into his arms, rubbing my face against his chest.

"I'm right, right? You can't bear it. ”

When he saw me like this, he turned his anger into a smile and pinched my face hard.

"Don't rely on my kindness to you, be too arrogant."

He said this as a warning, but when he said it, he had a smile in his eyes.

"What's wrong with arrogance? I'm arrogant, what can you do to me? ”

I gently bumped my head on his shoulder and continued to provoke: "Say, what can you do to me?" ”

He suddenly picked up my face, and before I could react, he steadied me five times in a row.

After steady, he left a little, a triumphant smile on the corner of his mouth.

This guy!

I deliberately raised my hand, wiped my lips with the back of my hand, and rubbed the back of my hand against his sleeve.

"You dislike me?" He chuckled angrily, and picked up my face again, five more times, one after the other.

"Ling Niankong, are you a woodpecker?!"

"Sharp teeth." He couldn't help but laugh after finishing speaking.

Looking at him with a smile on his face, I was in a trance for a moment.

In the past, I wished he could smile at me like that, but I didn't expect that his heart-warming smile could really belong to me.

"What's wrong?" He noticed that I was a little distracted and smiled.

I hugged him, put my ear to his heart, and listened to his heartbeat.

"Empty ......"

"Hmm."

"Thank you."

"Thank me for what?"

I looked up into his eyes. "Thank you...... Like me. ”

He was stunned for a moment, then smiled at the lips. "Fool's ......"

He lowered his head, rubbed my nose lightly with his nose, and said gently:

"Don't leave tonight, stay with me, I won't move you."

I smiled. "That's not going to work."

"Really?"

"Hmm."

He sighed. "Okay then."
