.. org, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the full court cuckoo red!
Climb up the ladder to the platform at the bow of the boat, the river breeze blows slowly, the drifting clouds cast graceful shadows on the river surface, and the green hills on both sides reflect in the water, rendering the clear and clean river water as green and green, with a feeling of spring as deep as the sea.
Xiao Qi stood at the front of the bow of the boat, leaning on the railing and looking out, the filaments flying in the wind, and his clothes fluttering in the wind, like an immortal about to fly away in the air.
Liu Qingyan looked at the regressing scenery, and her heart jumped in her chest more and more cheerfully. After hesitating for a while, he bit his lip and stood by Xiao Qi's side with a heroic attitude.
"The water surface of the Yuxi River is not wide enough, and the scenery of the river will be better when you enter the Yuanjiang waterway, but it is not clear at night." Xiao Qi looked ahead and said.
"If you can't see it clearly, you can't see it clearly, and I don't really want to see it." Liu Qingyan lowered her head and twisted her eyebrows and muttered quietly.
Xiao Qi turned his head in surprise, seeing that she looked nervous, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "You seem to be afraid of taking a boat?" ”
"Nope." Liu Qingyan hurriedly raised her head, her big eyes blinked a few times quickly, and she said stiffly: "I'm not afraid of taking a boat." ”
The look has betrayed everything.
Xiao Qi smiled secretly in his heart, and said quietly: "The specifications of my ship are enough to sail to the sea, and driving in the inland waterway is a big thing, not to mention that there are no rapids and rapids along the way, as long as it is not a big storm, it will not sink anyway." ”
I know, but I can't control it!
Liu Qingyan was extremely helpless, took a deep breath to stabilize her mood, tried to relax her mood, and bravely looked at the river in front of her.
Seeing this, Xiao Qi stopped talking, quietly enjoyed the scenery, and sent the jade flute in his hand to his lips to blow a tune.
It is the Buddha temple that blows.
The rhythm of this song is slow and steady, with a dignified, soothing, and ethereal melody, presenting the solemn and solemn atmosphere of the temple and the charm of meditation and sacred piety of the practitioners.
Qingyin hovered on the surface of the water, and the distant and ethereal artistic conception calmed Liu Qingyan's undulating heart, and the nervous mood gradually subsided.
Consciousness rises and falls in the beautiful melody, and the slight thought is disillusioned little by little.
Suddenly, she felt that the scene in front of her had changed into a beautiful spring of flowers and leaves, and the sound of the grass after the rain and the soft and fresh smell of the grass wrapped her five senses, no, there was a sixth sense.
Raise your eyes slightly, and the picturesque fairy side face is impressive.
Liu Qingyan stared at the person who was playing the song, the wind ruffled his scattered black hair, showing a beautiful and focused demeanor, and there was a kind of sadness and desolation of the falling flower man's independence.
The emotions hidden in the sound of the flute are like a touch of ivy growing and spreading, mixed with a vigorous atmosphere.
Very familiar atmosphere.
Because this taste hides warmth, soft spring light, and even more warmth.
Her mind gradually became confused, like a nebula covering a vague moon, and as if standing still on a high place, overlooking a chaotic city in the distance.
The music stopped slowly, Xiao Qi turned around slightly, and looked at him quietly. The girl on the opposite side had a pair of autumn water eyes scattered with indescribable complex emotions. She was like a naughty Yue'er turning Zhu Ge lightly and falling on his Qionglou Qihu, which had already disturbed his dreams.
"Yan'er, you still have a little bit of a heart for me, right?" He called her name softly.
The clear and soft voice seemed to come from thousands of rivers and mountains, but it made Liu Qingyan frightened. Her body trembled, the soles of her feet were like stepping on ethereal clouds, and she almost fell to the ground.
Xiao Qi subconsciously stopped his waist and supported Liu Qingyan, and the next moment he hugged her into his arms.
Liu Qingyan's frightened and turbulent thoughts stopped, and her brain went blank for a moment, but the smell of rosemary made her wake up quickly.
"No, I can't." She struggled out of his embrace, bowing her head and not daring to look at him again.
"Because of him?" Xiao Qi asked urgently.
Liu Qingyan was silent for a few breaths, looked up at him calmly, "Yes, I can't bear him." ”
Xiao Qi's dark and warm eyes were full of loss, and he smiled sadly, "So, you can only bear me." Then, he asked urgently: "If you hadn't met him, would you be willing to confide in me?" ”
"I don't know." Liu Qingyan bit her red lip, thought for a while, and said in a calm tone: "You are very good, excellent in any aspect, if I hadn't met him first, I would have been tempted." However, since I met first, I can only choose to stick to it. ”
Xiao Qi's eyes were overflowing with sadness, and he secretly felt ridiculous, "I understand, I shouldn't think about you and despise you." How could you be such a half-hearted woman? ”
"I'm sorry." Liu Qingyan said in a low voice.
"No, I'm sorry for you. You are a pair of beloveds made in heaven, and I can't control my own heart, so I insist on inserting between you. ”
"Is it because I'm like a detached child?" As soon as Liu Qingyan spoke, she immediately realized that she was too talkative, and hurriedly added: "You don't have to answer this question." ”
Xiao Qi stared at her for a moment, and chuckled, "Yes, it's not." ”
Liu Qingyan asked the following with her eyes.
Xiao Qi turned to look at the river and was distracted, as if he was recalling that long memory in his mind, half loud, his tone was calm, and he said slowly: "At first, it was because you were like Li'er, but later I had more contact with you, and I realized that you are too different from Li'er." Li'er is not as smart and alert as you, and it is not enough for you to be brave and strong. She is innocent and innocent, and once she is out of my protection, she is easily poisoned. ”
There was a deep loneliness and sadness between the words, Liu Qingyan was stunned, and she didn't know how to comfort him for a while.
She looked up at the sky, and suddenly saw a thick black cloud rising from the sky in the distance, and half of the sky was suddenly dark, as if it had been stained with ink.
The black clouds were unbiased, heading straight for the sky overhead, casting the ship in shadow.
"It's going to rain."
As soon as the words fell, I saw a flash of white light, and a huge opening opened in the dark sky, followed by a rumbling sound.
Liu Qingyan took a step back in shock, her face turned pale.
"Get into the pod." Xiao Qi hurriedly pulled Liu Qingyan down the ladder and ran towards the cabin.
This downpour came very quickly.
In the blink of an eye, the raindrops the size of beans have hit the boat, and countless splashes have splashed on the river, like God has scattered thousands of pearls together, and there is a ping-pong chaos on the deck.
The two of them ran into the cabin, and their bodies were already wet from the falling raindrops, and they were a little embarrassed.
Xiao Qi wiped the rain off Liu Qingyan's face, and said with concern: "Go back to the room first to change your clothes, and I'll have someone bring you warm-up soup later." ”
Liu Qingyan was still in palpitations, and said busily when she heard the words: "It's okay, you don't need to warm up the soup, don't bother." ”
The rain was fierce, and there was a rumbling sound between heaven and earth.
Qiu'er came out from inside, and saw that Liu Qingyan's clothes were wet in many places, and a lot of rain fell on her hair, so she hurriedly went back to the room to change her clothes.
"Miss, you just look at the scene, how did you get it like this? That Xiao Dagongzi is also really, I don't know if I let you in earlier, and in the future, Miss, you should be less with him. Qiu'er was nagging while looking for clothes to change for Liu Qingyan, obviously complaining about Xiao Qi.
Liu Qingyan felt a little funny, and said, "It's because the rain is coming too fast, and I can't run." Qiu'er, I find that you are becoming more and more similar to Ping'er. ”
Qiu'er was stunned for a moment and asked, "Where does the maid look like Ping'er?" ”
"Lots of words." Liu Qingyan is colorful.
Qiu'er ......
After changing her clothes and drying her hair, Qiu'er helped Liu Qingyan comb her hair again.
As soon as I finished combing my hair, I heard someone knocking on the door, and he came to deliver warm soup.
The warm-up soup made Qiu'er's dissatisfaction with Xiao Qi disappear a little, and praised: "I finally did the right thing." ”
Liu Qingyan picked up her body and sipped slowly, and said with a smile: "Qiu'er, you have a great prejudice against Young Master Xiao!" ”
Qiu'er looked around, as if she was afraid that people would hear her, and lowered her voice and said: "Miss, you are the one who has been married, and the eldest prince Xiao is still worried about you, and the maid is afraid that Miss will get too close to him, and she will not be able to stand his temptation, which will damage Miss's reputation." ”
Liu Qingyan rounded her eyes, I'm that kind of person!
There was silence for a while, and the inner room could not see the rain outside, only the rumbling of thunder.
Liu Qingyan's mood became a little restless again.
After a while, someone came to call Liu Qingyan to go to the hall for dinner.
Qiu'er accompanied Liu Qingyan to the hall, the meal had been put on the table, and Xiao Qi sat at the table alone.
Seeing that Liu Qingyan's master and servant came out, Xiao Qi waved his hand to let the people who were waiting retreat, and asked Qiu'er to go to eat as well.
Liu Qingyan glanced at Xiao Qi, and saw that he was still wearing the same clothes as before, so she hurriedly asked, "Your clothes are also wet, why don't you change them?" ”
Xiao Qi smiled and said, "I just changed it, I was too lazy to change it, the men's physique is stronger than the women's, and the wet ones are not tight." Then he said, "I will have your sister's food delivered, so you don't have to worry, just sit down and eat." ”
Liu Qingyan sat down as she said, four dishes and one soup, some spicy and some not spicy, Xiao Qi's eating habits have always been light, and the spicy ones are obviously prepared for themselves.
"The conditions on the ship are limited, and the cook's skill is not as good as yours, so you can only use it." Xiao Qi picked up a chopstick dish and put it in Liu Qingyan's bowl, which was back to the pot meat.
Liu Qingyan hurriedly thanked her, it was difficult to be gracious, and it was difficult to repay the love debt, this meal was destined to be not a good taste!
The two of them were eating silently, and the captain of the boat rushed in.
It must be very urgent to be able to disturb Xiao Qi while he is eating.
Liu Qingyan hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks.
"The eldest prince, this rainstorm is surprising, there is no sign of stopping at the moment, the water level of the Yuan River should have risen sharply at this time, and the river surface may encounter a storm, so it is better to anchor under the Yuxi waterway." The captain of the ship came for instructions.
When Liu Qingyan heard the word storm, her head buzzed, and it suddenly turned into chaos.
Xiao Qi glanced at Liu Qingyan, and said concisely and powerfully, "Drop the sail and drop the anchor." ”
"Yes, eldest son." The captain of the ship answered.
Xiao Qi took the bowl and saw Liu Qingyan sitting without moving chopsticks, and asked, "Why don't you eat it?" ”
Liu Qingyan's face turned pale, she shook her head silently, and her hands were tightly twisted under the table.
A layer of worry appeared between Xiao Qi's eyebrows, and she couldn't figure out why she suddenly appeared in such a mental state.
He also had no desire to eat again, put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, and looked at Liu Qingyan with very sincere, sincere eyes, and his tone was slow and soft, "Tell me, what happened to you in the past?" ”
Liu Qingyan looked back at his eyes, her lips opened and she was about to speak, when the loud sounds of "bang" and "boom" came one after another.
She let out an "ah" and crouched under the table with her head in her hands.
