Chapter 40: Night Talk I
Jin Se had just drunk the medicine for a short time, and then leaned on the edge of the bed and fell asleep. Qingyan saw that Jinse was asleep, and it was not good to stay to disturb her anymore, so she cleaned up the medicine jar and medicine bowl and came out of Jinse's room.
Qingyan had just brought the door of Jinse's room from outside with a tray when he saw Minglong coming to his side. Minglong walked up to Jin Se with a slightly nervous expression:
"Isn't Xuan Ming in the house?" Qingyan was a little confused by Minglong's question, and shook his head:
"Brother Xuanming is not in the room, he went out just after I came." When Ming Long heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and subconsciously hugged his arm to his chest:
"Out? Where did he go, you know? Qingyan still shook his head:
"I don't know, but I saw him out of the hospital." When Minglong heard this, he sighed and prepared to walk out. Qingyan freed up a hand and grabbed Minglong's arm:
"Hey, don't go yet. What's wrong, you're in such a hurry to find him? Minglong turned around to look at Qingyan, then glanced at Jinse's room, and subconsciously pulled Qingyan aside, as if what he was going to say below could not be heard by Jinse. Qingyan couldn't help but be a little frightened when he saw Minglong being so mysterious. The recent events have made Qingyan's nerves a little too nervous, and now that Jin Se is seriously injured and bedridden, if there is any accident at this time, they will not be able to cope with it.
Ming Long looked at Qingyan's expression, as if he understood her thoughts, and after he pulled Qingyan aside, he lowered his voice and said:
"Rest assured, we are relatively safe for now, and there will not be much change in a short period of time. But have you noticed that in the past few days since Jin Se woke up, Xuan Ming didn't seem to be as interested in Jin Se as he was a few days ago. As soon as Qingyan heard this, he immediately jumped up:
"So you found out too." Minglong hurriedly covered her mouth and made a silent gesture. This continued:
"Yes. I always felt like he had something on his mind. But I know his character, and he will never talk about it. Besides, Jin Se is still injured, and it is useless to ask her. So, I wanted to talk to him. When Qingyan heard this, he pursed his lips:
"There's nothing wrong with that. But how can you be sure that Brother Xuanming can tell you that he is so cold. Minglong lightly lifted the corner of his mouth:
"You don't know, we're all men. So he'll definitely tell me. When Qingyan heard him say this, he couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth, and there was disdain between the corners of his mouth. Then he turned around and walked away. Minglong looked at the back of Qingyan leaving, and suddenly felt that her expression was very similar to Jinse, but it was a little more playful. I couldn't help but laugh.
Minglong came out of the courtyard, and there was silence on all sides. This is the edge of the city, which is naturally not as lively as the city, and most of the people who live outside the city are farmers who make a living from farming, and their lives are always with the sun. So now, the half-dark day that has passed dusk is naturally resting in my own home.
The wind blows from afar, carrying the faint fragrance of the plants in the field. Minglong looked at the field where no one was missing, and suddenly he didn't know where to go. He walked freely and freely, trying to find Xuan Ming in this open land. Walking through the two paths in the countryside, you can see a small dirt mountain in the distance, and there seems to be a figure on the side of the mountain. Minglong relied on his intuition in which direction to go.
When I got closer, I saw that the man was sitting on the mountainside, and there seemed to be a bundle of messy hair on his forehead, which was fluttering slightly with the wind, and his back was slightly bent, perhaps because of fatigue, but the angular side face was much more handsome than usual in the dim light and shadow.
Xuan Ming heard the footsteps, turned his head vigilantly, and saw that it was Minglong, so he relieved his heart and turned around. Ming Long walked over and sat down beside Xuan Ming, and looked at Xuan Ming's gaze, which was the only remaining afterglow after the sun sank in the west, the only faint water red in the gradually deepening darkness.
But after a while, even the little remaining color was swallowed up by the dim black and blue. Xuan Ming's brows gradually furrowed, his head sank, and he sighed deeply. Minglong looked at Xuan Ming, feeling the depression he was trying to hide, reached out and attached Xuan Ming's back, and patted it gently:
"Is there something on your mind?" Xuan Ming didn't look at him, nor did he nod, just sighed more deeply. Minglong looked at him, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only sit beside him. Wait for him to speak, maybe Xuan Ming won't speak.
After a while, Xuan Ming raised his head again, he was still frowning, and there was a cloud of confusion in his eyes, unwilling to dissolve at this time.
"Should I trust him?" Xuan Ming suddenly spoke, making Minglong stunned. But Minglong didn't understand what Xuan Ming was saying, so he asked:
"Who?" Xuan Ming turned his head slightly to look at Ming Long, a wry smile rose at the corner of his mouth, he was very uncomfortable, but he couldn't say such words, so he kept forcing himself not to think about it, but the more he wanted to think about it, and the more he thought about it, Xuan Ming could even imagine how the cold collarbone was exposed in front of the eldest prince, that feeling made him angry and made him even more jealous. But he couldn't get those words out of his mouth, he couldn't.
Xuan Ming raised his eyes and saw Minglong, and there was an inexplicable impulse in his heart, he thought, as a man, maybe he could help him make a decision. So he told Minglong what the great prince said that day.
After hearing this, Minglong also seemed to fall silent. Xuan Ming looked at Ming Long's frowning brow lightly and pulled out a wry smile. It turned out that Minglong couldn't solve it for him.
"Impossible!" Ming Long said suddenly, Xuan Ming subconsciously looked at him, hoping that he would continue. Minglong looked at Xuan Ming and asked:
"Do you really care if Jinse is perfect?" Xuan Ming was suppressed by Ming Long's words, he never seemed to have thought about this issue. But the voice inside him told him it wasn't. So he shook his head. Ming Long looked at him and suddenly laughed, Xuan Ming was stunned by Ming Long's reaction, he didn't understand what Ming Long was laughing at. Minglong stretched out his hand and patted Xuan Ming's shoulder and said:
"Don't listen to the nonsense of the eldest prince. In my opinion, the eldest prince Bacheng fell in love with Jinse and wanted to keep her before he said something like that. You and I both know who Jin Se is. How could she let ordinary people get close to her. Not to mention the eldest prince, even me, I have not been as good as you in her heart for so many years. As soon as the words came out, Minglong felt embarrassed, so he shut up. Xuan Ming listened and smiled:
"Not really. I brought it into the pavilion. Xu felt a little closer to me. She is very wary and will not let her guard down easily. Minglong listened and smiled again:
"You see, even you say that about her, what is there to be suspicious about. Actually, I understand your thoughts very well. But if you think about it, Jin Se was an Oiran in the Drunken Immortal Residence before, and so many men hung down her beauty, she had an eye. After speaking, he put his hand on Xuan Ming's neck and continued:
"Everyone has a love for beauty. You and I are men at the same time, so we naturally understand the psychology of men. If you want something not to be taken away from others, the first thing you have to do is make it your own. ”
Xuan Ming listened, glanced back at Minglong, and couldn't help laughing. Listening to Minglong, the knot in his heart can be regarded as unraveling a lot, but that feeling of uneasiness still exists.
