The summer is scorching, the cicadas are bursting, and a gust of wind is blowing, carrying the heat straight to the door of people's faces. The ground was scorched by the scorching sun, and the flowers and plants were uncomfortably tight, and their heads drooped. The red lotus in the partial pond is blooming lively, and the bright colors that can't be concealed are close to the scorching sun in the sky.

"Alas, I'm so envious, why am I not a lotus? In this way, you can be born in the water and no longer afraid of the heat. In a small pavilion in the lead courtyard, Chu Jiangli was leaning lazily on the pillar, surrounded by ice cubes to cool down, and his mouth couldn't stop complaining about the summer heat.

"Ugh." Chu Jiangli sighed again, picked up a bowl of smoothie in his hand, and ate it. This smoothie is made by breaking up ice cubes into sand and supplementing it with a variety of fruits cut into small pieces. In the past, she would go to a cool place to escape the heat on long summer days, but this year she can only do so. A spoonful of cold smoothie was sent into his mouth, and Chu Jiangli sighed comfortably, only feeling comfortable.

"Little Li'er, you're going to be lazy. Let Senior Sister use your internal strength to help you break ice and make smoothies, and you can eat ready-made here by yourself. Feng Jieyu twisted his thin waist and held a large plate of crushed ice, and slowly walked towards the pavilion.

"Senior sister, didn't you say that you would repay your sister for saving you from the pain of sleeping in the open air? Besides, you eat a lot. Chu Jiangli didn't bother to take care of her, and turned his back to stare at the red lotus in the pool. This pond of lotus flowers has not been taken care of for more than ten years, but now it is blooming.

Feng Jieyu followed her gaze and looked towards the pool, but a pool of lotus flowers, what to see? It's not as good as himself and Xiao Li'er. "Xiao Li'er, Lotus has also learned to hook up this year." Otherwise, where did that white spot come from?

The lotus flowers are dazzlingly red, crowded and crowded to show their style. Right in the red center of the pond, a crystal clear white lotus stands quietly. Not only was it not robbed of the limelight by the red lotus, but the lonely one became its own beauty, faintly comparing a pool of lotus flowers.

Chu Jiangli stared at the white lotus, as white as ice and snow, standing proudly in the group. It doesn't need more partners, it just needs itself, and it can become a presence that everyone looks up to. Like, like......

"Eh, the famous bloody clothes in the rivers and lakes will also express their sorrow on the flowers and plants, sad spring and autumn?" Feng Jieyu's beautiful eyes widened, looking at Chu Jiangli's eyes as if looking at a monster. "Who did you want to slaughter a village in the first place, leaving no chickens and dogs? And who wiped out the famous martial arts alliance leader in the rivers and lakes because of a quarrel? Who killed the bandits who have been entrenched in Bicang Mountain for many years? And-"

"Senior sister, okay, don't say it again." Chu Jiangli interrupted Feng Jieyu and counted her bad deeds one by one, "First of all, that village is a gang of human traffickers. Secondly, there are only a few families in that village, which is not so exaggerated. In the end, they didn't have any dogs, just a few chickens. After killing someone, I was a little hungry, so I roasted the chicken and ate it. ”

Chu Jiangli put down the empty porcelain bowl in his hand and picked up a porcelain bowl full of smoothies. "Martial Arts Alliance Master, it's not me who did it. I'm just being a scapegoat. As for the bandits in Bicang Mountain, I am the bandit leader there, how can I kill my own people? ”

Jianghu, heh. As long as there are people, there is a conflict of interests, and people in the world can often do a lot for their own interests. She is a bloodthirsty Shura, and as soon as she takes out the sword, she is a bloody cloth that flows like a river. In the eyes of the world, it seems that she is a demon who can lift a sword and kill people at any time, and everyone will be punished. As everyone knows, those who are hiding in the dark are the real demons.

"You're at the top of today's task list next year, Xiao Li'er, it's always true, right?" If she really didn't do anything, why were there so many people looking for her revenge.

Chu Jiangli frowned slightly, this is naturally true, it is because he was chased and killed, so he deliberately reduced the time he spent at home. She had to take care of her family, and she also had concerns about living in the remote lead courtyard of the General's Mansion. "I don't know, but I have a vague feeling that someone is secretly manipulating something. It's just that his purpose, I don't know. ”

Feng Jieyu's eyes flashed, and then he asked, "Xiao Li'er, what have you found?" "Chu Jiangli, an ordinary person, except for being the granddaughter of the general of Zhenguo, has no secrets on him, nothing worth plotting.

Chu Jiangli shook his head, his fingers unconsciously rubbing the edge of the porcelain bowl. A chill wrapped around his fingertips and reached his heart. However, it's still not cool enough. The heat continued to pour in, and the ice in the pavilion was gradually melting, "If only there were nine hairs." ”

"Jiu Wei." Hearing Chu Jiangli's soft whisper, Feng Jieyu remembered the white figure. "Xiao Li'er, Jiuwei is too rare. However, it's still not as good as your Liuchuan. Senior sister, I haven't tasted Xiao Li'er's craftsmanship for several years, why don't you fulfill my sister's little wish today? ”

Chu Jiangli's cooking skills are excellent, but he rarely cooks. She is very lazy, and she will not cook some food by herself unless she has to. It's Master, and I've only eaten it once or twice. Cooking for one person is unprecedented. Except for her family, the only special thing is that one person.

"It's so hot, my sister wants me to stay for a day. Senior sister, I cherish my life, so I don't have to go into the kitchen on a hot day. If the senior sister is tired of staying in the house, just leave. I just need to borrow your manpower, my sister is a Buddha, and I can't afford it. ”

The tone was light, as if casually.

Feng Jieyu pulled up a flattering smile, "What did Xiao Li'er say?" You are my favorite little sister, how can I be annoyed to stay with you. Xiao Li'er, if you drive me again, my senior sister will be sad. ”

The usual teasing words in the past, at this time, seem to have a hint of explanation, implying a blunt turn of something being touched. Chu Jiangli just smiled and didn't say anything. Seeing this, Feng explained: "The ice is about to melt, but you can't heat my little li'er." You sit here, sister, go get some ice. ”

After Feng Jieyu left, a white figure fell leisurely from the roof of Chu Jiang, walking leisurely as if walking in his own yard, slowly pacing. The air was obviously very hot, the sound of cicadas was unbearable, and the scorching sun in the air was scorching people's skin. With a faint smile on his lips, like a moon with a night sky as cool as water, it miraculously brought a hint of coolness.

Chu Jiangli, who was reclining on the pillar, sat up and rushed to him. First, he pulled up his left hand, which was hidden in his sleeve, and no. A closer look at his sleeve and still not. I took his right hand behind him, but it still didn't. Chu Jiangli sighed, "You didn't bring it!" ”

After speaking, Chu Jiangli was still unwilling. With such a special aroma of wine and a hint of coldness on his body, this guy was black-hearted, and he drank wine and ran to her to show off.

Nan Jiyue let her circle around him as if she were circling around, her eyes smiling. Seeing Chu Jiangli sit down in resignation, he still leaned towards the pillar, and said with a smile: "Li'er, I haven't seen you for a few months, and your temperament is even more than before!" ”

Isn't it even more so? It's the same as a childlike child who can't find something he likes and plays with a small temperament. Nan Jiyue's gaze swept over the almost melted ice cubes, and paused on the two empty bowls. Then he threw himself at Chu Jiangli, who was lightly dressed and slightly exposed a white arm. Lazy, eyes slightly closed. A pool of fiery red lotus and turquoise lotus leaves are not as good as Chu Jiangli nesting on the bench like a cat at this moment.

"If you have anything to say, sneaking into the yard of your daughter's house without permission, this is not what a gentleman should do." Chu Jiangli yawned, a little sleepy. But it was still hot, and she couldn't sleep comfortably.

"I never said I was a gentleman." Nan Jiyue walked and sat beside her without hesitation. The hem of Ruxue's white robe leaned slightly against Chu Jiangli's skirt, one red and one white, one warm, one gentle.

"I heard an interesting story on the street today. The county lord of Jiangli disrespects his parents and is pampered. On the first day of Yangxing, he argued with his mother-in-law on the street and fainted to the ground. The biological father came to visit and refused to see him, which is unfilial. The lord of the county oppresses his parents by virtue of his identity, which is an insult to the royal status, that is, disloyalty. In Yangxing City, in just a few days, the county lord of Jiangli became a disloyal and unfilial person. ”

Chu Jiangli closed his eyes and listened, his voice was pleasant and eloquent, which was very suitable for storytelling. It's just that when it comes to storytelling, the language is too concise. There should be more descriptions. For example, how fierce the county lord looks, how his mother falls to the ground pitifully and convulses, and how gentle and loving his father is. Another example is how she scolds, uneducated like a shrew in the market, and whips people at every turn.

"Do you believe it?" Chu Jiangli asked, his clear eyes were unwavering.

"If they had been a little more bloody, I would have believed it." Nan Jiyue smiled indifferently, and then asked, "Why did you let Gao Diyuan come to Heiling City to find me?" Nan Jiyue's eyes were very bright, and she looked at Chu Jiangli fixedly, wanting to see something in her eyes.

"It's rare for me to do a good deed, why are you embarrassed to come to my lead Huayuan empty-handed?" Chu Jiangli looked back at him.

At this time, Feng Jieyu came over with some smoothies, and at a glance he saw the scene of the two looking at each other. The two looked at each other quietly, with emotions in their eyes that only the other could see. The aura that surrounds the two of them is like nothing, and it disappears invisibly at the moment when Feng Jieyu enters the pavilion.

"Xiao Li'er, I've only been away for a while, and you're hooking up with a new love?!" Feng Xie said dissatisfied.

Chu Jiang glanced at her, took the smoothie in her hand and ate it to himself. Feng Jieyu shrugged, and suddenly handed a bowl of smoothie to Nan Jiyue, "Master Jiyue, do you want to taste it?" At the end, he added, "This is what Xiao Li'er prepares every day, and I can't wait to eat it as a meal every day." ”

"Oh?" Nan Jiyue glanced at Chu Jiangli and took the smoothie.

Chu Jiangli's gaze swirled around Nan Jiyue and Feng Jieyu, when had Feng Jieyu been so polite to people, and she talked about her habits inexplicably. Chu Jiangli pondered, was there anything between them that she didn't know?

The knobby hand holds a porcelain bowl with blue and white on a white background, and the other hand holds a spoon, with an elegant demeanor, and every move is pleasing to the eye. Sure enough, a good look is very important. Chu Jiang centrifuged and said darkly.

"How many bowls does she eat a day?" Nan Jiyue finished eating slowly and reasonably, and asked the wind to explain.

"I don't know very well about this, but there are probably four or five bowls. It's hotter and cooler. Feng Jieyu replied very carefully, completely replacing the role of Chu Jiangli's maid.

Chu Jiangli was puzzled, his hands were empty, and the smoothie had already fallen into Nan Jiyue's hands. He wandered around the pavilion for a moment, then walked to a wooden basin filled with ice. With a flip of hand, pour the smoothie into the basin. Then, feed the remaining smoothies to the wooden basin. Chu Jiangli was stunned for a moment, this hypocrite, isn't she jealous that she is crazy with jealousy?

"From now on, eat a maximum of two bowls a day, after noon and before dusk." After speaking, he got up and stood in the pavilion to quietly admire the lotus.

"Hypocrite, I'm not sick, why do you look like you're prescribing medicine!" Chu Jiangli gritted his teeth, Feng Jieyu only saw a flash of red shadow in front of him, Chu Jiangli had already fought with Nan Jiyue.

Suddenly, the sound of ping-pong in the small pavilion was endless. Red shadows and white shadows intertwined, and the strong wind that drove the lotus in the pond was blown. The red waves roll like a stormy wave, and they are bound to defeat the ship in the waves. And the white in the middle of the huge waves, moving with the amplitude of the rolling waves, let you storm and storm, it is as strong as ever.

This battle between red and white, storm and lonely boat lasted for a long time. Whether it is the fight before the storm or the frolic of the waves and the boat on weekdays, the wind interpretation can't be seen. Both of them seemed to use all their strength, as if the person opposite was not a friend who had known each other for ten years, but an enemy. It's like, it's just a unique way of communication between the strong.

Half an hour later, the waves stopped and the two of them were separated, except for some beads of sweat on their foreheads. It seems that it is a slight draw. It's just a pity that the stone tables and benches in the pavilion, as well as the wooden basins. After the two of them discussed, the cold water overflowed the small pavilion, which was a little more comfortable.

"Hypocrite, I won't play with you anymore. What are you here for? "Jiyue Gongzi will go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, joking.

"Li'er, if you believe her, can't you believe me?" Nan Jiyue didn't answer, but talked about the side.

Chu Jiangli glanced at him deeply, "I naturally believe in my friendship with my senior sister since I was a child, besides, senior sister is not as hypocritical as a hypocrite. I can feel her sincerity. Isn't it, senior sister? ”

Touching Chu Jiangli's bright eyes, Feng explained: "Of course, senior sister, I love Xiaoli'er the most." ”

The smile on the corner of Nan Jiyue's mouth was unclear, and she didn't say a word.

Suddenly, with a bang, a firework exploded in the air. He looked up, "I'm leaving." Nan Jiyue turned around and walked out, but suddenly turned her head, her eyes paused on Chu Jiangli's face for a moment, "You should be the one who cherishes your life." ”

Chu Jiang walked away from him, and the white figure disappeared behind her roof again. "Let's go, senior sister, will you accompany me back to the room?"

"No need, senior sister, I'd better go find someone to clean up the pavilion. lest thy mother come and see thee, and thou shalt bear it again. Feng Xie replied.

Chu Jiangli nodded, his eyes calm.

Feng Jieyu turned around and walked away, and the distance between the two of them became longer and longer.
