The shopkeeper withdrew, leaving Chenguang and Shen Run alone, the incense in the incense burner at the door was the kind that was commonly used in the past, and the aroma burned out was very familiar to both of them.

Chenguang sat opposite Shen Run, where was her old seat, and she used to sit here when she came out to drink tea. She doesn't drink tea, but she likes the dim sum of the natural house, which is not a dim sum shop, and the dim sum that can be made is even better than the dim sum shop.

The window is open, and when you sit in front of the window, you can see the moonlit lake rippling slightly. A thin wind came across the water and blew on the face, dispelling the summer heat.

Shen Run took a sip of tea.

Eat snacks slowly in the morning light.

The two of them were silent, and the Streamer Pavilion was very quiet.

The sound of a woman singing was faintly heard from the painting boat in the lake, low and tactful, as beautiful as a nightingale.

"Not much has changed here." Chenguang said.

Shen Run withdrew his gaze from the window, lifted the teapot, and asked with a smile:

"Drink?"

He'd asked that before.

Chenguang shook his head.

That's how she used to answer him.

Shen Runwan smiled and took a sip of tea with satisfaction.

"It's been all these years!" He sighed softly.

Chenguang smiled lightly.

"The year I brought you back from Xiangying, I never thought it would become like this." His eyes were half-down, and his tone was a little melancholy.

Chenguang glanced at him and smiled, "I didn't expect it to be today." ”

"You didn't expect that?" Shen Run raised his eyes, as if her words made him suddenly a little unhappy, and he unconsciously brought a little ridicule.

"Nope." Chenguang said, seeing him smiling lightly as if she didn't believe it, she smiled and said, "Not everything goes according to my prediction, and there are many variables that I have passed, although I like to plan ahead, but whether things will really go according to my plan, I can't be sure." ”

"Chenguang, why did you get to where you are today?" He asked her suddenly.

Chenguang was slightly stunned, and his inquiry made her want to laugh a little, but she couldn't. There were many answers to this question, but the answers flooded into her head, and she couldn't answer any of them.

"Where am I going if I don't get to where I am today?" She asked with a chuckle.

Shen Run looked at her.

She is the most powerful weapon person on the continent, she has a powerful energy that no one can match, indeed, with such a powerful force, if she doesn't fight for the world, what is she going to do?

Shen Run laughed: "Ordinary is precious, those are words to comfort mediocre talents." ”

Chenguang lowered her eyes for a moment, and when she looked at him again, a soft smile flashed in her eyes, and she asked him in a gentle tone:

"Xiao Run, does I make you so unwilling to take Long Xiguo from your hands?"

Shen Run glanced at her, she asked about this again, he was unhappy, but this was an opportunity to dispel her vigilance, he was silent for a moment, put aside the sense of difficulty, and replied frankly:

"I'm not reconciled."

"Because I'm a woman?"

"Because I despised you, I made an unforgivable mistake, this mistake is the lowest and most unacceptable, I knew it but still made it, and because of it, I buried Long Xiguo. I have imagined many of my own endings, but none of them are about the loss of the country, I can't forgive, it's not you, I can't forgive myself. ”

"Do you think you've failed because you despise me, not because you're inferior to me?" Chenguang asked with a smile.

Shen Run's heart shook heavily because of her words, and many disgusted emotions suddenly churned in his head, and he frowned in front of her rarely.

"Because I'm a woman, do you think you lost to me because you despised me, not because I'm better than you? If it wasn't me who defeated you today, but someone else, such as the people of Cangqiu Country or the people of Chiyang Country, would you still think that you were because you underestimated the enemy? ”

Shen Run looked at her, he was really about to get angry.

Chenguang knew that his already crumbling self-esteem had been shattered into slag once again because of her words.

"You mean like saying that I was lucky enough to run into you despising me, so I won. I paid a huge price for defeating Long Xiguo, I didn't just say a few small lies and ask for a few tricks to enter Qi'an, Feng Yingguo killed so many people in the battle, but you said it so lightly, you should reflect a little more, and find out the reason for your failure, so you will find that I am actually more suitable to sit in your position. ”

Her straightforward words sounded like a provocation to Shen Run, or she was just declaring war on him. He was already furious to the extreme, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at her:

"Do you really think that if you defeat Long Xiguo, you can hold Long Xiguo in your hands forever?"

"Of course I can."

"Do you still want to rule the world?" Shen Run looked calm and said coldly.

Chenguang didn't answer, she smiled:

"I don't say this to make you angry, or to hear you quarrel with me, I just think that after all this time, it's almost time for you to put aside your pride and accept reality. It's really hard, and if it weren't for me, you'd probably be better at it. But Xiao Run, if this person wasn't me, you don't exist now, and no one would put the emperor of the previous dynasty by his side after conquering a foreign country. I understand your mood right now, it's very difficult, I'll give you time to accept it slowly, but don't go too far. If you see me as a woman you like, don't bully the woman you like; If you see me as an enemy, you should almost admit that I am stronger than you. ”

Shen Run couldn't accept it, he could accept and admit that he lost to her in this big battle because he was too underestimated, he made the lowest mistake and let her take advantage of it, so he failed. But if this defeat is because his ability is weaker than hers, he doesn't think so, and he can't recognize it.

"If you are willing to admit this, I will respect you very much, because it is not easy."

Shen Run glanced at her, he held back his anger, he couldn't quarrel today.

"Are you trying to quarrel with me?" He asked her with a calm face.

This way of terminating the topic did not make the atmosphere worse.

Chenguang smiled, and no longer continued to be angry with him, she said:

"Xiao Run, I've always liked you like this."

Shen Run frowned.

"Even if you get angry, don't answer, ignore it, but you listen to what I say."

Slapping sweet dates was what she used to do, but it didn't soothe his anger. Her last sentence was simply an explicit statement, so that he would remember that she was inferior to her, and it was better to go back and think about it a few more times and believe it.

Shen Run's heart was on fire.

Chenguang looked at his dark face and smiled, she threw her gaze out the window, and then suddenly let out a "ahhhhhhh

"It's Qin Shuo." She pointed to the window and said to Shen Run.

Shen Run was slightly stunned, frowned, and looked down, on the dock at the back door, there were two people standing there waiting for the boat, one of them was Qin Shuo, and the other was actually Xue Chong.
