"Yuexi, after school, you can accompany me to buy Li Ningze's new album! My family Ning Ze has a new song again, and the MV is handsome. Liu Yuexi glanced at the nymphomaniac Jinse, and pushed her head hard, "You~"
"Are you going or not going?"
"Go! Guaranteed to go. ”
Jin Se excitedly hugged Liu Yuexi's arm, "I know that Yuexi is the best." Liu Yuexi's face changed, "Wait until I finish my homework." ”
"No, it won't! As far as your personality is concerned, if you don't finish all your homework, you won't give up, then it's at least eleven or twelve o'clock. ”
"I'll try to hurry." Liu Yuexi groped on the bookshelf with both hands, and did not forget to comfort Jinse beside her. "Yuexi~ homework is not important, how can Li Ningze be important, okay?" Yuexi didn't agree, only to see her shaking her vigorously. His hand was unsteady, and the book he was still holding fell directly to the ground. Jin's complexion changed greatly, "right...... I'm sorry. ”
"Nothing." Liu Yuexi bent down and stretched out her hand, and at the moment when she was about to touch the book, a pair of snow-white sneakers came into her eyes, and a slender jade hand reached out to her to attract her attention. He picked up the book first. Liu Yuexi looked at the boy in front of him carefully, a white shirt with a pair of jet-black pants looked very energetic, his eyebrows were strong and handsome.
"Your book." He handed the book to Liu Yuexi, and for a while Liu Yuexi stared at the boy's eyes and was a little unrelieved.
took the book and politely smiled at the boy, "Thank you." A charming smile spread across the boy's face, and he said no polite and left.
"Moon Moon!" Liu Yuexi returned to reality at this time, and Jinse pulled her clothes excitedly. "What's wrong?" "He Jian is a senior in the third year of high school." Yuexi was stunned, "He Jian?" "The name seems familiar, probably somewhere I've heard it." Only...... The one who won the first place in the violin competition in this year's campus culture and art festival? ”
"Yes, yes, yes. Pretty handsome, isn't it? ”
Liu Yuexi beat the dust on the book and put it back on the shelf, fortunately it was not damaged, and responded to the sentence that squeaked and squeaked for a long time, "Well, handsome and handsome, handsome......" Her hand that put the book couldn't help but pause, and when she remembered He Jian's eyes just now, she was a little stupid for a while, how could she have such good-looking eyes, there seemed to be a sea of stars in his eyes, which made people fall into it at first sight.
sighed inadvertently, "What kind of parents can give birth to children with such beautiful eyes......"
Jin Se looked at Liu Yuexi who was talking to herself in surprise, "Huh? "Nothing. I said, I'll accompany you to buy Li Ningze's new album after school today. Jin Se threw herself into Liu Yuexi's arms excitedly, "Yuexi, I know that you are the best!" ”
April 5th.
Liu Yuexi looked at He Jian, who was leaning against the tree in front of her, and kept saying sorry. He Jian smiled bitterly and wiped away the tears hanging on her face, "Don't cry! She looked at the wound on He Jian's arm that had been bitten by a poisonous snake, and her heart was full of self-blame. I've already called the teacher, why haven't I come yet? Liu Yuexi looked around, hoping that someone would come to find the two of them at this time. The school held a camping out, but she didn't expect her to be accidentally separated from the army, after He Jian found her, she was bitten by a poisonous snake because she saved her, Liu Yuexi really wanted to scold herself at this time, why was she so careless.
"It's okay, I'm fine." He Jian gave her a heartwarming smile. Liu Yuexi didn't know what to say for a while, his eyes were extraordinarily good-looking, like stars shining brightly, like the sea was vast and deep, making her unable to extricate herself.
April 6th.
He Jian was taken to the hospital, but fortunately, the wound was not deep and the timely rescue was not life-threatening. Liu Yuexi sat on the edge of the bed and looked at He Jian who was sleeping peacefully, and she couldn't even guess her mood. Her heart was rippling at the moment, and she didn't know how much more relieved she was when she saw He Jian safe and sound. She didn't know how many times she was grateful to He Jian in her heart, but now it seemed that as long as she could watch him silently, she was very happy and down-to-earth. She seemed to think that this person who didn't even want his life to save her was someone she was worthy of entrusting her life.
Seven years of Hongwu.
Mo Yinluo had a terrible headache, his legs and feet were numb, his limbs were weak, and he was groggy and couldn't stand on his heels. On the edge of the blue water lake, there is a quiet figure. Mo Yinluo looked at the figure reflected in the lake, and his thoughts were full for a while.
Why? This thing is the same as that one?
......She missed this person, and longed to go back to see him immediately, reminiscing about his smile, seeing his eyes, and his warmth. Mo Yinluo stared blankly at the pendant she was holding, this was the only memory of him she had left in the Ming Dynasty now. She was really homesick when she crossed over, and even cried secretly from time to time when she was in Mofu, but time can forget everything, and it is much better after a while. But now Duan Xichen's actions made her recall that incident and that person again. They look at each other as if, like she sometimes mistakes them for a person.
Duan Xichen, what are you ...... Who is it?
At some point, her eyes were soaked with tears, and a tear slid down her cheek, rippling on the water.
Where are you that Mo Yinluo who really belongs to this era? Why do you want me to live in your place? Why didn't you come back yourself? Do you want to let Liu Yuexi disappear from the world here?
I don't know when there was an extra figure on the water, she was in a trance, and she couldn't help but be stunned for a long time before she had the courage to look back. Duan Xichen looked at her lightly and didn't say a word. Sure enough, his complexion was much worse than before, he didn't look energetic at all, and his face was bloodless and looked much haggard. Mo Yinluo stared at Duan Xichen's eyes, and his gaze happened to be in one place. Mo Yinluo shook her head, she walked over slowly, her trembling hand seemed to be attached to his face, she really couldn't tell the difference at the moment. He looked at himself exactly like he did.
There were still tears in the corners of Mo Yinluo's eyes, and his eyes were moist and he knew that he had just cried, "You...... Who the hell is it? Her voice was half trembling and a little hoarse.
Duan Xichen didn't know why there was a little tingling in his heart, but he didn't make the slightest move, just looked at her quietly, he didn't know what secrets she was hiding in her heart, and he didn't know what she was sad about at the moment, he could only look at her like this.
Mo Yinluo couldn't help but laugh at himself and asked him what was the use, he didn't know what he meant by it. Mo Yinluo tried not to look over her head and stopped looking at him, she was afraid that if she continued to look at it, she would really take Duan Xichen as him.
"Why don't you dare look me in the eye?"
Mo Yinluo didn't know how to answer, the corner of his eye swept over Duan Xichen's pale lips, and he turned around and sat back on the edge of the pond. "Are you getting better?" But she didn't answer the question.
"Much better."
"My lord lied to me, how could I be so pale, how could I be so much better?" Duan Xichen didn't say a word. After a long silence, Mo Yinluo looked at the lake and suddenly said, "Thank you." ”
"What do you mean?"
"Thank you for saving me from being hurt in the slightest. Thank you for reminding me of him again, otherwise, I am afraid I will not remember him for a long time. Duan Xichen seemed to understand half a point. Your eyes, my lords...... It's very similar to my old man, especially the way he looks at me...... Even I can't seem to tell the difference. ”
"Yes." He just snorted, too, he was Duan Xichen! That 10,000-year-old iceberg! Do you expect him to comfort you or something?
"Have you heard ...... story of 'Veil of the Fingertips'?" Mo Yinluo was feeling the gentle spring breeze on his face, but he heard Duan Xichen's words. "Fidget veil?"
"It is rumored that there was a prince named Li Kuo in the Tang Dynasty, who was lonely and arrogant since he was a child. One day, he met Lin Geqian, a white fox who was cultivating in Kunlun Mountain, and Lin Geqian incarnated as the lord of the Tang Dynasty to live in Li Kuo's mansion. Over time, the two also moved their true feelings. One day, Li Kuo found out that Lin Geqian was a disciple of Mu Lianyi, the head of Kunlun Mountain, and was ordered to monitor Li Kuo. After many misunderstandings, Li Kuo was convicted of rebellion by the emperor, he knew that there would be such a day, in order not to make Lin Geqian sad, tell her when the withered iron tree in front of his door will bloom when Li Kuo will fall in love with her. Lin Ge's life's spells caused the dead trees to bloom. On that day, 3,000 flowers fell into the palace of King Yi, Li Kuo returned to the palace despite the obstruction of the officers and soldiers, and died under the flying flowers together with Lin Geqian, who had lost his life's strength. Later generations gave this story a name - 'fingertip veil', a touch of light yarn remains on the fingertips, the breeze passes, its slight touch is not reached, the light yarn is a white fox. It also symbolizes that Li Kuo and Lin Geqian's love will not end well, but their final decision ...... They won't regret it. ”
Mo Yinluo listened attentively, "What a bleak story." ”
"Maybe not all decisions are right, but if you stick to it, even if you end up exhausted, at least you don't regret it." Duan Xichen's eyes were firm, and Mo Yinluo heard the encouragement he gave her. Is he really comforting me? He obviously didn't know anything, why everything he said was right for my sadness. Flower ...... This is the only goal for me to go back, I said that I will definitely convince Duan Xichen to plant flowers for me, if I give up now just because I remembered the sad thing, it would be too worthless.
"Yinluo understands." Mo Yinluo looked at the bells of the eaves that were swaying in the wind in the distance, and felt as if something had fallen. She didn't know when...... Duan Xichen has quietly left.
Duan Xichen's coughing sound sounded in the corridor of the Prince's Mansion, which lasted for a long time. How can the poison that was only detected yesterday be better today? His steps were bumpy, he coughed a few times after taking a few steps, and from time to time he needed the support of the wooden pillars of the corridor, otherwise he would have collapsed. There were many beads of sweat on his head, his face was extremely pale, but several pieces of purple appeared on his hands that were originally intact, which was so terrifying. His head suddenly became groggy and almost hit the wooden pillar, but fortunately, the imperial doctor appeared in time to support him.
"Your Highness, are you alright?"
He squeezed out the sentence with all his might, "It's okay." ”
"Your Highness, don't walk around at will anymore, this poisonous ...... I'm afraid it's difficult to treat, Your Highness can rest well. "I know Imperial Doctor Li...... Don't spread this matter to your father's ears. Imperial Doctor Li was shocked, "Huh? Your Highness is not joking with your subordinates! You are injured, but the poison refined by the national teacher, how can you not give it to Your Majesty? If it's serious, I'm afraid it's a life-threatening thing! ”
"It's okay, if something goes wrong, this king will bear it."
"This ...... Then the lower official went to prepare medicinal herbs. ”
"Hmm."
