"I'm very strange, this is not like the Li Xiaodong I know, why did you suddenly ask me out tonight?"

The stars and moon are brilliant, the night breeze is slow, under the cherry blossom trees by the river in this city, Li Yina and Li Xiaodong walked on the lawn casually, while enjoying the moonlight river scenery, and chatting casually without a word.

Although it feels very pleasant to be asked out by this guy to go shopping and take a look at the night scene, Li Yina always can't help but think in her heart, if this guy asks himself out, and then confesses to himself like other men, how should she deal with it?

On the one hand, she actually expects it. If Li Xiaodong really confessed to her, it means that he can't escape his charm, which is something that makes her proud and happy.

But on the other hand, if he is really no different from other men, confessing to her and longing to be favored by her, she will feel a little bored, after all, Li Xiaodong in her mind is unique and should be different from those men who pursue her.

This kind of contradictory feelings brought her a faint entanglement.

Fortunately, Li Xiaodong's performance at least proves that he is still unique, and it is a little different from those men who manage to pursue him.

Li Xiaodong took the women's bag in his hand for her, and said while accompanying her: "Actually, there is no special reason, I just think that we have known each other for so long, and we are often together, if I don't ask you out once or twice, it seems that I don't pay attention to you, plus I have basically rarely been with you in the past two days, and I don't even have much time to talk to you, so I feel embarrassed, and so, I think I will be happy to ask you out to communicate." ”

"By the way, why don't you find something to do, like go to the movies, and relax?" he asked, pausing to speak.

After hearing this, Li Yina pouted and said, "Forget it, I'm not interested." How can there be a person like you, who asks a girl out, and the speech is not good at all, as if someone forced you to ask someone to come out, if you are not already familiar with you, I will definitely block you and never see each other again. ”

Saying that, she looked like "I'm already angry", left Li Xiaodong, and went to the front.

Li Xiaodong smiled, looked at her gently twisted graceful waist, still maintained an unhurried pace, and followed her behind.

Under the moonlight, the two walked along the river for a while, and Li Yina felt a little tired, so she sat down side by side with Li Xiaodong on a bench under the cherry blossom tree.

Although she looked like "I'm angry" on the surface, she didn't really ignore him, Li Yina sat and blew a cool breeze, then drank a little drink, and then, she turned her head to look at him and took the initiative to talk to him.

"Xiaodong, in fact, I have been very strange these days, you mysteriously disappeared for a day or two, and always said that you have to complete a thing, can you tell me, in this strange city, what kind of thing are you doing, is it particularly important to you?"

Li Xiaodong raised his head and took a sip of water, before he said: "Yes, important, very important, to put it simply, my mother is a little troublesome, so I hurriedly followed your itinerary to come here, I have to solve this trouble." ”

After hearing this, Li Yina tilted her head to think about it, blinked, and asked, "Is there anything you need my help with your mother's trouble?"

She had heard her brother and sister-in-law talk about Li Xiaodong before, Li Xiaodong's parents had left him since he was a child, and he had been looking for his parents as an adult. Now that she suddenly heard him talk about his mother, she couldn't help but be a little curious.

"Thank you for your concern, this trouble has been solved by me for the time being, otherwise I wouldn't be able to sit here and chat with you so leisurely. ”

Li Yina asked in a low voice, "Then can you tell me about your parents?"

Li Xiaodong glanced at her and said: "What is there to say? A ten-year-old boy lost his parents, and when he grew up, he found that his parents were taken away by someone, and then searched all over the world, this is the plot line of all things, in fact, it is quite boring to say, it is better to talk about something else, such as the story of your royal family, it should be more interesting." ”

Knowing that he didn't want to talk more about himself, it might make him feel sad, Li Yina looked at him, hesitated in her heart for three seconds, and finally stopped asking.

"Actually, my family's story is also very boring to tell, although it seems to be a high-ranking royal family, but I have always disliked it. When my dad was alive, he had several wives, when I was a child, I remember always arguing with my mother, and then my mother died and I hated my dad a little, and then my brother understood me, he knew that I didn't want to stay at home, so he looked for an opportunity to let me go to the army, and then later, when my dad died, I found an excuse to stay in the army, when my brother was angry, called and scolded me fiercely, I remember that I was very weak-hearted, I cried while thinking in my heart, I must listen to my brother in the future, because in the future, only he will really love me in this world......”

Speaking of this, Li Yina's voice was a little low, her hands were tightly twisted together, and her eyes were a little red.

Li Xiaodong patted her hand lightly and said, "Don't think about it, don't look back about what has already passed, it's better to think about it later, come, call your brother, it just so happens that I haven't talked to him on the phone for a while......"

Li Xiaodong took out his mobile phone and stuffed it into her hand.

On this night, Li Xiaodong originally wanted to ask Li Yina out to have fun and have fun, but unfortunately, not only did it not make her happy, but it almost made her cry.

This may be the unpredictable of the world.

Almost at the same time, the Imperial Palace of Kyoto.

Yumiko came out of the emperor's bedchamber and stopped under the main hall, she looked up at the starry sky, gently clapped her hands together, then closed her eyes and made a wish in her heart.

Her grandfather, the Emperor, was gradually recovering his health, and she was very relieved about that. But something else was always haunting her, like an invisible mountain, getting heavier and heavier, and gradually overwhelming her.

Once the emperor's poison was cured, Li Xiaodong could die.

For a man who once raped her, only by letting him die can she wash away the shame she once suffered.

It's just that this belief is far less firm than before, and Yumiko sometimes feels lost, and even asks herself:

This man who must die, is he really damned?

If the evil relationship with him can survive, can the heart still be at peace?

She looked up at the bright moon, and a blue bird appeared, fluttering under the colorful clouds.
