When Linlang woke up again, it was already early in the morning. Probably the weather was bad, it was foggy outside, and it seemed to be raining lightly. The light was dim and there was a light in the room. Linlang slept groggily, her head was buzzing, but it didn't hurt as much as last night. She tried to sit up from the bed, but she didn't have any strength.

There seemed to be movement on the side, Linlang tilted her head and glanced at it, and couldn't help but smile. It turned out to be Zhong Jiu, he moved a stool and sat at the head of her bed. At the moment, I am asleep with my hands on the armrests of my chair and my eyes closed.

She knew that he must have come last night, and he stayed by her side and did not leave, which made her heart overflow with sweetness.

She got up slightly, lay on the bed, and carefully studied Zhong Jiu's sleeping face by the candlelight in the room. She had never seen Zhong Jiu as gentle as jade, after all, he had always been cold, and he was also far and close to her. If you're happy, tease her, and if you're unhappy, show her a face. But she didn't mind, who made her like him.

She held out a finger and carefully poked him in the face. But before he could poke it, Zhong Jiu opened his eyes as if he had predicted it, and grabbed her fingers.

Linlang was startled, didn't she fall asleep? How could it be so fast? She hurriedly withdrew her hand, quickly turned over, and pulled the quilt over her head. It looks like I'm not doing anything, I'm completely self-defeating.

Linlang hid under the quilt, but there was no movement outside. She was worried in her heart, could it be that Zhong Jiu was gone, otherwise how could she be so quiet?

She quietly lifted a corner of the quilt and poked her head out like a thief. Unexpectedly, when Zhong Jiu's gaze collided, Zhong Jiu hugged his arms and looked at her with a smile. His eyes were as soft as a rain, and her heart skipped a beat without warning.

Linlang didn't bother to pretend anymore, lifted the quilt and stretched out her hand, and said coquettishly: "Help me up." ”

Zhong Jiu raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, bent down to help her sit up, and took a pillow to cushion behind her head so that she could be more comfortable.

Zhong Jiu stroked her hair that was a little messy from sleep, and asked softly, "Does your head still hurt?" ”

Linlang raised her hand, slowly pressed her temples, frowned and said, "It's much better than last night, but it's still a little drowsy, and I always feel that there is something in my head, and I've been drilling around." After speaking, she looked at Zhong Jiu again and said, "Brother Zhong Jiu, pour me a glass of water, I'm a little thirsty." ”

Zhong Jiu avoided her gaze, took a deep breath, and said hello. He went to his desk and poured a glass of water. The water was from last night and was already cold. Zhong Jiu held his hands for a while before handing them to Linlang.

Linlang drank it in one go, pinched the white porcelain cup in his hand, turned it over and looked at it for a while, and then looked at Zhong Jiu and asked softly: "Quanzhen Dao Chief said that I was Gu, so I got sick." You already knew that, didn't you? ”

Zhong Jiu's face changed, the hand in his sleeve clenched tightly into a fist, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know." ”

Linlang laughed and said, "If you don't know, how can you give me medicine indiscriminately?" How could you hear me say that I was hit by Gu, but I wasn't surprised at all. You said that day that I would believe you, that you would not let me die, and you knew it then, right? You must be worried about me, afraid that I will be frightened and afraid to hide it from me. Actually, I'm fine, as long as you're by my side, I'm not afraid of anything. ”

Zhong Jiu took the cup in her hand, put it on the table next to her, held her hand again, her eyes were slightly red, and said softly: "Linlang, it's me who is not good, I failed to protect you." I ......" He paused for a moment before he said, "No matter what happens in the future, no matter what you ...... I'll be there for you. ”

Linlang threw herself into his arms, wrapped her hands loosely around his waist, and said with a smile: "Okay, you have to talk about it." ”

Zhong Jiu stroked her black and silky hair, and the guilt in his heart slowly spread, spreading to his whole body. His heart throbbed, and he almost couldn't breathe. He didn't dare to imagine that if one day, Linlang knew the truth, they would still be able to live in harmony like this? Would she trust him like that?

Linlang raised his head, looked at Zhong Jiu who was close at hand, hesitated for a moment, and still asked, "Yejun said that I am in the Lost Soul Gu, do you know what the Lost Soul Gu is?" ”

Zhong Jiu pushed Linlang away and suddenly stood up from the chair, his face became extremely ugly, and his eyes burst with a murderous aura that she had never seen before. He glared at Linlang and asked sharply, "Has the Night Monarch been here?" When? ”

Linlang saw that he was suddenly angry, and he regretted it a little, and he knew that he was unhappy and didn't ask. She nodded lightly and said, "I came last night, and when you came, he had just left." ”

Zhong Jiu felt that he was too out of control, but he couldn't control himself. Yejun is the most poisonous thorn in his heart, he can't pull it out, he can only let him stick to his heart. He walked around the house uneasily before he stopped and asked her in a deep voice, "What did the Night Monarch say to you?" ”

Linlang frowned and thought for a while, Yejun said a lot last night, and she couldn't remember it for a while. She faintly felt a headache again, Zhong Jiu couldn't bear her discomfort, walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, put his cool fingers on her temples, and gently massaged her.

Linlang's eyes lit up, and she looked at Zhong Jiu and laughed stupidly. After a while, she seemed to remember something, and then she spoke: "The Night Monarch said that I am a Soul Lost Gu, this Gu poison will not kill me, but it will make me stupid and forget everything." ”

Zhong Jiu was stunned, sighed and said, "Don't think nonsense, that's just the worst result." ”

"I'll forget you, too, right?" Linlang stared at Zhong Jiu seriously, her eyes full of sadness.

Zhong Jiu couldn't bear to look at her sad and sad eyes, so he had to lower his eyes and press her head mechanically.

There was a long silence in the room, and Linlang held Zhong Jiu's hand and put it on his chest, looking at him without blinking, as if he wanted to look into his heart. As soon as she thought that she would become stupid in the future, forgetting all things and all people, her heart swelled with infinite sorrow and despair.

Zhong Jiu is even more desperate than her, she has always been a bright girl, like a sun flower that only blooms, always bright. You'll probably never see a vibrant array of lights in the future. He couldn't tell for a moment whether he was doing it right or wrong. But whether it was right or wrong, the Lost Soul Gu was under his hands after all, no matter how much hardship he had, it couldn't make up for his guilt towards Linlang.

Zhong Jiuzheng sighed secretly, but Linlang wrapped his arms around his neck and kissed him on the lips accurately.

Her lips were soft, and she had taken too much medicine in recent days, and there was a bitter taste in her mouth. Zhong Jiu reacted quickly and held her tightly in his arms. Zhong Jiu greedily sucked her lips until she was almost unable to breathe, and then reluctantly let her go.

They pressed their foreheads against each other, gasping heavily, hot breath spraying each other's faces. They laughed in unison, Zhong Jiu stretched out his hand to wipe the water stains from the corner of her mouth, and said in a hoarse voice: "The jade pendant for you, you still wear it." ”

Linlang nodded, reached out to touch the jade pendant in her neck, but she didn't expect her neck to be empty. Her face was full of doubt, and she tugged at her shirt again, and there was really nothing in her neck.

"I don't know, how did the one I wear all the time disappear?" Linlang said while flipping the bed and rummaging.

Zhong Jiuyi grabbed her hand and said lightly: "No wonder Yejun is here, I don't know." Don't be in a hurry to find it yet, I have something to tell you. ”

Linlang raised his head to look at him, and Zhong Jiu continued: "You go to live in Xiaolou with me tomorrow, it's not safe here, and I can't guard you all the time." Yejun is too dangerous, I'm afraid he'll hurt you while I'm away. And the environment is quiet, no one disturbs you, which is just right for you to recuperate. ”

Linlang was in a difficult position, and when he hesitated, Zhong Jiu asked, "Are you unwilling?" ”

Linlang hurriedly explained: "I am naturally willing, but how can I explain to my mother?" If she hadn't figured it out, she wouldn't have let me go there alone. And that little building, how can I explain it clearly to my mother? ”

Zhong Jiumo rubbed her slender and slender fingers and said with a smile, "There is someone who can help." ”

"Who? Can I recognize? Linlang asked curiously.

Before Zhong Jiu could answer, there was a sudden noise outside the door, and it seemed that Cai Wei had gotten up. Because she has been sick, the first thing Cai Wei does when she gets up every day is to go to Linlang's room to have a look.

Listening to the footsteps, it was almost at the door of Linlang's room. Linlang got up from the bed in a panic, bit her lip and said, "What should I do?" My mother is coming, can she see you? ”

Zhong Jiu got up and retreated to the window, put his index finger to his lips and sighed, "Don't speak, your mother has come in." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Cai Wei pushed the door in. Linlang looked nervously at Cai Wei who entered the door, she didn't see Zhong Jiu at all, and walked straight towards her, she was completely relieved.

Cai Wei saw Linlang sitting on the bed when she entered the door, and hurriedly asked her: "Why did you wake up so early, I took medicine yesterday, and I feel more comfortable today?" ”

Linlang raised her head and smiled very brightly: "It's better, I didn't have much strength just now, but now I feel a little refreshed." ”

Cai Wei touched her hair with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "The medicine of the Quanzhen Daoist is really good, I will go and fry a bowl for you again, and you have to strike while the iron is hot to cure the disease." ”

Cai Wei told her to sleep a little longer, and then went downstairs with her skirt in hand.

Linlang's face was sad, she looked at Zhong Jiu by the window and said, "I have to take medicine every day, I am now full of the smell of herbs, and even my mouth is bitter." ”

Zhong Jiu smiled and walked over and hugged her, and whispered in her ear: "You bear with me, I will take you to Xiaolou tomorrow, you don't have to mention it to your mother, don't worry, I will find a way." ”

Linlang watched Zhong Jiu disappear in front of her bed, she sighed and lay back on the bed, remembering that she would get along with Zhong Jiu day and night in the future, and yearning rose in her heart. I don't know what way he will think of to persuade his mother to agree to her to live in Xiaolou. Oh, that's bad, he said someone could help, and in a hurry, he hadn't heard his answer yet.

Only tomorrow will we find out.
