Li Xiaodong came back to his senses, coughed dryly, and said in a slightly disguised manner: "Ahem, I wasn't in a daze, it's just that the song "Hometown Plain" you played is very good, and I feel soft when I hear it, and I unconsciously think of my hometown, maybe I'm homesick." ”

Leng Ranbing still turned his back to him, hummed softly, and asked in a low voice, "What else?"

Li Xiaodong was embarrassed for a while, and forcibly explained: "No, it's just a little homesick, a faint nostalgia, you should understand." ”

"......" Leng Ranbing understood in his heart that in fact, this guy was the same as himself, and he obviously had a little affection for the other party, but he just didn't show it, and he had to pretend that he didn't feel anything.

She was suddenly a little unhappy, this guy is not a man, he obviously has feelings for himself, but he doesn't say it, and he has to forcibly cover it up, this guy is not only a hooligan, but also a cowardly and fearful hooligan who has no responsibility.

But at this time, she ignored a question, if Li Xiaodong really said that to her, how should she respond?

Yes or no？

It's a dilemma.

"Alright, it's late, it's time for me to go. ”

Leng Ranbing calmed down a little rippling mind, and decided to leave the environment that seemed a little awkward to be alone with him in the bedroom at this moment, she swept past him, walked out of the bedroom and said: "I worked hard for you to tidy up the room, made you sweaty, and put a computer on you, originally I thought you would be very moved, thank me well, but you are like wood, you don't say anything, it's really disappointing." ”

She opened the door and stopped at the door, then said with a bright smile: "Forget it, you are a guest in the capital, and I am the host, the host should work hard, entertain you as a guest, bye." ”

She went out of the house and walked away, her swaying and beautiful back, and soon disappeared into the bright moonlight.

Li Xiaodong exhaled softly and shook his head slowly.

......

Nikta, Kyoto.

The Emperor's Palace, with its gurgling water, wooden bridges, and an antique quadrangular pavilion.

Yumiko Sagawa, dressed in white like snow, knelt in the pavilion, with a bubbling tea stove that had been boiling for a long time on the side, and a guqin resting in front of her, her Qianqian hands pressed on the strings still, her eyes fell on the clear water under the pavilion for a long time, and she didn't notice the boiling tea around her, nor did she make any piano sound.

There is a group of red-tailed goldfish swimming in the flowing water, and it seems to be free and happy, Yumiko watched silently, and two lines of tears quietly slipped down on her beautiful face.

Since returning to Kyoto, she has experienced a serious illness, her body has lost a lot, her previous appearance has dimmed a lot, and she has one more person in her heart, a man she wants to hate, wants to kill, but can't kill it, and can't seem to hate it.

For so many days, she has been thinking every day, if Li Xiaodong killed her at that time, or even destroyed her spirit, would she be a little better off than now?

Her soul was liberated, and her life was still like a bright flower, but her heart was tormented every moment, and she lived in a trance like years.

"Li Xiaodong, why didn't you kill me?"

"You have insulted my body, taken away my cultivation, and trampled on my dignity, why do you want to let me go?"

Yumiko silently shed tears, gently picked up the tea knife on the table, and then stretched out her white left wrist and slowly swiped towards her wrist.

There was a soft ding.

A pebble flew in and knocked out the silver teaknife with unmistakable precision.

Dressed in a wide robe, Hachiro Hirakawa, dressed in white and with a white beard, walked into the pavilion as quickly as the wind, he stood with his hands in his hands, his eyes were cold, and he looked at Yumiko.

Yumiko sobbed sadly, fell to the ground, and her shoulders twitched slightly, "Master, please leave me alone, let Yumiko die......"

Hachiro Hirakawa did not speak, nor did he have any expression.

Yumiko cried for a long time, until her tears dried up and her eyes were swollen from crying, and then she slowly knelt up and wiped away her tears.

Seeing this scene in his eyes, Hirakawa Hachiro recalled the scene when the young Yumiko left the palace for the first time and came to him, Yumiko at this time and Yumiko at that time, the same weakness, the same helplessness, how similar.

Finally sighing, Hirakawa Hachiro slowly knelt down and eased his expression.

"Yumiko, you should understand that you are not an ordinary woman, you have no right to commit suicide, you are the eldest grandson of the emperor, you are a noble princess, if you choose to commit suicide, you will be ashamed of your royal family, you and your parents, including your grandfather, will be discussed, slandered, and even ridiculed by all the people, His Majesty the Emperor and all the members of the imperial family will live in all kinds of bizarre rumors for the rest of their lives because of your suicide, and you will bring them a lifetime of shame. ”

Yumiko said sadly: "But Master, Yumiko has now become a disgrace, as long as Yumiko lives in front of them for one day, they will be disgraced for one day because of Yumiko." ”

Hirakawa Hachiro shook his head slowly and said, "I didn't tell them what happened between you and Li Xiaodong, except for you and me and the person concerned, Li Xiaodong, everyone else, including Yusuke Yamamoto, who escaped that night, didn't know. ”

"If you are smart enough, you might as well choose to hide it with good intentions, and if you are strong enough, you might as well choose to live bravely. ”

Yumiko shook her head sadly: "But Master, I can't do it, Yumiko really can't do it, Yumiko is also persuading herself that she must live strongly, but as soon as Yumiko remembers the scene of being raped by him at that time, Yumiko will have heartache, Yumiko is really in pain, Yumiko can't bear it......" As she spoke, she fell to the ground again and cried sadly, "I'm sorry, Master, Yumiko really can't do it, Yumiko has failed her master, and Yumiko wants to die quietly......"

Hearing her whining cry and seeing her debilitated appearance, Hirakawa Hachiro's heart was like a knife, and he was also secretly heartbroken.

He knew that his apprentice, Yumiko had lost all the hope, faith, and even a glimmer of hope to live that supported her, and if she only used the dignity of the royal family to force her to continue to live, even if she stopped committing suicide, she would definitely collapse and become a madman sooner or later.

He is a wise man, and he will not be unaware of such an outcome, and he has also prepared a countermeasure that is not very sure.

If you use this strategy, you may touch Yumiko's heart.

He slowly helped Yumiko up, and said seriously: "Yumiko, for you, I calculated another hexagram this morning, it is about the grievances between you and Li Xiaodong, do you want to know the result?"
