Chapter 22 Heart-to-heart
Mo Yuchen and the three of them went all the way south, and after riding for a long time without seeing any sign of the town, they decided to rest against the lake for one night. Yunli set up a fire, and Xiao Xiyue volunteered to go fishing. I saw her roll up her trouser legs, roll up her sleeves, take off her shoes and step directly into the water.
"Hey, I didn't catch it. I don't believe it. Xiao Xiyue slapped her hands twice and cheered herself up.
"You're going to scare the fish away." Mo Yuchen sat on a large rock by the lake, cutting a branch in his hand.
"Here, use this." Xiao Xiyue took the branch thrown by Mo Yuchen, and one end was sharpened.
"Well, this time you can still escape from my palm." Xiao Xiyue held the branch, looked at a fat fish swimming over slowly, and thrust it hard, "Caught, caught!" Xiao Xiyue happily held the branch and walked to the shore.
"Yunli, I'll leave it to you."
"Come and bake the fire for a while, your clothes will be wet, and it will be cold at night." Mo Yuchen beckoned Xiao Xiyue to sit beside him. "Look at your happy look, you've never caught a fish before, have you?"
"yes, did you catch it?"
"Well, I did catch fish when I was a kid, I caught birds, I caught hares, I swam in the river." Mo Yuchen said, as if he was stuck in a memory.
"Your childhood seems interesting."
"Yes, I was very happy when I was a kid."
"Aren't you happy right now?" Xiao Xiyue turned her head to look at Mo Yuchen, the man in front of her had a warm temperament, but at this time he was sad.
"Now? It doesn't seem to be important to be happy, only when you are strong can you have the capital to be happy. Mo Yuchen's eyes changed again, becoming firm and indifferent.
"You must have met with something." Xiao Xiyue turned her head to look at the raging fire, as if she saw Mo Yuchen's determined eyes from this fire again.
"My mother died, when I was six years old."
"I'm sorry, you must be sad, but what about your father?"
"Father, I've never seen him spend a long time with a woman."
"When we were young, we always hated a lot of people when we were young, but when we grew up and matured, we would become the people we hated." Xiao Xiyue fiddled with the fire and said as if unintentionally.
"I don't want to be like him. My mother was sad but calm when she left, and she told me not to hate my father, but I couldn't. If I wasn't strong, he wouldn't even look at me. ”
Xiao Xiyue felt Mo Yuchen's pain, she gently held Mo Yuchen's hand, there is no real empathy in the world, all she can do is use her own warmth to relieve his pain. Mo Yuchen grabbed Xiao Xiyue's hand and held it tightly. The warmth at this time can be left for a moment longer.
Mo Yuchen gently helped Xiao Xiyue cover her with a blanket, Xiao Xiyue was so tired that after simply eating some grilled fish, she was sleepy. Looking at this peaceful sleeping face, Mo Yuchen's heart seemed to be quiet. Between heaven and earth, it seemed that there were only the two of them, Mo Yuchen looked at the calm lake and fell into deep thought.
The next day, Xiao Xiyue woke up and saw Mo Yuchen lying beside her, gently surrounding her with one hand, and she didn't dare to breathe. The man in front of him was very beautiful, but he needed to stay away from him, Xiao Xiyue warned himself again. What to do, should I push him away, or should I pretend to be asleep?
When Xiao Xiyue was worried, Mo Yuchen woke up, he supported his head with one hand, staring at Xiao Xiyue, "You are so stiff that I thought it was a stone that woke up." ”
Xiao Xiyue's face was flushed, and he knew that he was full of city mansions, and he pretended to be asleep when he woke up.
"Get up, Yun left the forest to see if he could find something to fill his stomach, and he guessed that he would be back soon." Mo Yuchen got up and straightened his clothes.
Xiao Xiyue also hurriedly got up, she wanted to scold Mo Yuchen a few words, but thinking that she was chatting with others last night, she felt that it was inappropriate, shaking her head for a while, frowning for a while, Mo Yuchen touched Xiao Xiyue's head, "Don't worry, come and eat something." Xiao Xiyue felt that she was so stupid, she drooped her head and obediently obeyed Mo Yuchen's words.
