Chapter 173 - Friendship and Understanding (Part II)
Although he knew that he was being put on the spot by Chi Muyan again, Cang Lan could only walk back to the City Lord's Mansion with him amid the discussion of many people in Phantom Wing City, and protested in a low voice behind him: "Chi Muyan, you hold a grudge so much, beware that you have no friends in the future!"
Chi Muyan spread his hands indifferently, "It doesn't matter, anyway, I still have my baby sister, and friends are enough as long as they have you and Chubai, besides, I still have my smart and clever little apprentice!"
"Brother Muyan!" As soon as Chi Muyan's words fell, Lin Mumu, who was standing at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, greeted him happily, and high-fived him happily: "I knew that Brother Muyan would definitely come back in time to stop Canglan." ”
"Of course, wouldn't it be fun to let him run away casually like that?" Chi Muyan smiled at Lin Mumu with that look of course, and then turned to look at Cang Lan and Chi Mudie, who still didn't understand the situation behind him, "Don't be stunned, if you have anything to say, go to the peach forest in the backyard and say, it's not only spacious, but also very quiet, you just go and say everything you need to say clearly, lest you have this strange expression that can't be described when you meet in the future." ”
After Chi Muyan finished speaking, he turned around and left with Lin Mumu, who was jumping up, and Chi Mudie didn't know where to start, so he took Canglan into the peach grove in the backyard first, and the two of them sat down in silence to find a green shade under the tree, but they didn't know how to speak.
The breeze rustled the leaves, and after a long silence, Chi Mudie finally took a deep breath with determination, turned her head to look at Cang Lan, who was a little at a loss, and said slowly: "Cang Lan, I still owe you a word of thanks for what happened that night, thank you for coming to save me in time, and, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been angry with you for no reason after waking up." ”
At the beginning, when Cang Lan listened to Chi Mudie take a deep breath and was about to speak, a trace of despair suddenly rose in her heart, and she even closed her eyes at a loss, but the next moment she heard Chi Mudie actually thank him calmly and apologize, a heart that was about to cool down because of anxiety and fear returned a little warmth, and she looked up and said softly to Chi Mudie with some surprise: "No, it should be me who should apologize, I shouldn't have been using Xiaolan's identity to deceive you, in fact, I ......"
"Actually, you wanted to tell me a long time ago, right?" Chi Mudie frowned when she saw Cang Lan a little embarrassed, and she didn't know how to say the words when she came to her lips, so she took the lead in saying it for him, and chuckled at him again: "Looking back now, you did want to tell me the truth several times, but in the end, you were always interrupted by various circumstances. One time was on the night when Sister Zijing and I returned to Phantom City at the same time, and my brother helped us celebrate, in fact, you wanted to tell me that day, you are the little wolf I saved when I was a child, right? Because after I woke up, I saw that your expressions were extremely solemn, and the dragon god who had been pretending to be asleep suddenly appeared;Another time, recently, after I asked you that question in the Tooth of the War Dragon, you were full of anticipation and wanted to tell me the truth, right? Sister Tsukimi also told me last night that you had been opposing them telling me the truth in order to protect me and not embarrass me until then, right?"
Seeing Cang Lan frowning slightly and nodding to her again and again, and seeing that the uneasiness in his eyes was still wanton, Chi Mudie's heart also trembled slightly, and he smiled at him with some self-deprecation and continued: "Look, I am really the falling cherry blossom! Seeing you uneasy, I will also be uncomfortable; the last time I saw the water demon attack you, I was immediately angry; every time I meet you, I will be as happy as you; when I am separated from you, I am also lost." In fact, now that I think about it carefully, some of the things that Sha Xiaoliang said that night were not wrong, some things I did notice earlier, but I have been deliberately not studying them subconsciously, avoiding and not wanting to face them; ”
When Chi Mudie said this, she turned her head and smiled softly at Cang Lan, "At this time, when I think about it, you really didn't lie to me! Every time I ask a question you don't want to answer, you will always show this kind of embarrassed look, or change the topic, or bow your head and smile without saying a word, and I ignore the past without thinking about it, so it will accumulate over time, which will cause the current situation......
Taking a deep breath again, Chi Mudie slowly got up, walked in front of Cang Lan, leaned over and smiled softly at him: "Cang Lan, you told me that night in the whispering canyon that you don't like birds, and those words are not lies, right?"
Seeing that Chi Mudie smiled gently, Cang Lan also got up, handed the square scarf that had been tied to her arm in front of her, and replied simply and decisively: "Yes." ”
"Sure enough, it's my favorite one when I was a child!" Chi Mudie took the square scarf in his hand, looked at it with a smile and whispered to himself, and then looked at Canglan in front of him with a smile, stretched out a hand to him generously, and said cheerfully: "Then we won't care about any birds and fish in the future, let's introduce ourselves again!" ”
"Mu Die...... Cang Lan muttered, and also reached out and gently shook the hand that Chi Mu Die stretched out, and smiled at her, "Wolf clan, Cang Lan." ”
The two smiled and looked at each other for a moment, and slowly let go of the hands that were holding together, Chi Mudie looked down at the square scarf in his hand again, and then raised his head and smiled playfully at Cang Lan, "Can you let me take a look at Xiaolan again?"
Cang Lan was slightly stunned at first, then nodded with a smile of embarrassment, turned around a nearby peach tree, and what appeared in front of Chi Mudie's eyes again was the huge blue wolf with a huge body but always gentle eyes.
"No wonder when I named you Xiaolan when I was a child, I felt that you liked this name very much, it turned out to be a coincidence of your original name......" Looking at the huge blue wolf standing in front of him, Chi Mudie smiled and stretched out his hand, gently stroked his cheek, looked at his familiar eyes and smiled in a low voice, and slowly put his cheek on his neck, and continued softly with apologies: "I'm really sorry to let you, the person who is about to become the king of the Spirit Race, have been able to stay by my side in disguise like this!"
"As long as you're safe. Listening to Cang Lan's familiar voice ringing softly in her ears, Chi Mudie was slightly stunned, then fell on the blue wolf's neck and quietly wiped away the tears dripping from the corners of her eyes, and raised her eyes to look at the blue wolf in surprise, "So you can talk like this, no wonder I always felt that I heard your voice when I was in the Dragon Canyon that time." ”
When Chi Mudie said this, he pretended to touch his chin seriously and looked at the blue wolf in front of him, squinting his eyes and threatening: "So, you have overheard a lot of my secrets with this appearance, what should I do with you?"
"Uh...... I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to, I ......" Seeing Chi Mudie's serious expression in front of him, the blue wolf hurriedly lowered his head and apologized, but the next moment he felt a pair of warm arms around his neck, and chuckled in his neck: "Okay, let's not apologize to each other anymore, let the past pass." However, you are not allowed to hide anything from me in the future, Uncle Chang is right, this great responsibility to save the common people needs to be borne by the two of us. I used to admire you very much, because I often heard Chubai talk about your many deeds when you were young, and because you are the swimming fish that I have longed for since I was a child, so since I met you in the War Dragon's Fang, I will rely on you for many things, and I feel that you can handle everything very well, but after this incident, I finally understand that you are not only the swimming fish who has received a lot of attention, but also an ordinary person like others, who will also hesitate and be uneasy. ”
When Chi Mudie said this, he let go of the hands that were hugging the blue wolf's neck, moved one hand to the blue wolf's thick forearm, stopped at about the position where the swimming fish mark was printed, raised his eyes and smiled softly at him: "You see, even if that hateful sand boy doesn't know how to take away your swimming fish mark, even the god in the Sealing Tower knows that you are the real swimming fish, so he will help you recapture the swimming fish mark that originally belonged to you, isn't it?" And now on these seven floating islands, almost everyone knows that His Royal Highness Canglan of the wolf clan is the swimming fish that can save them, and he is a big hero in the minds of many people, so even if someone really uses some despicable means to snatch your swimming fish mark one day, no one will recognize the swimming fish except you. ”
After speaking, Chi Mudie turned around with a relaxed smile, and when she turned back, she found that Cang Lan had regained her human form, and was looking at her with a surprised and somewhat cautious look, and chuckled and whispered: "Before you came to me just now, Chi Muyan also said similar things to me......
"What about you?" Cang Lan paused slightly, then looked at Chi Mudie in front of her with a serious expression, "Will you always believe me?"
"Yes, I'll always believe in you. The unhesitating answer made Cang Lan's expression stagnant again, and then slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and the gloomy color on his face was immediately swept away, but Chi Mudie suddenly remembered something, and asked with some caution: "By the way, Cang Lan, you ...... just now Where do you want to go? Are you a little angry because I was angry with you last night?"
"No! how could I be angry with you......" Hearing Chi Mudie's question, Cang Lan immediately opened her mouth nervously to explain: "I'm just afraid that you don't want to see me for the time being, so I want to go back to Izumo to deal with something first, anyway, the president has already said that let's all report to the Dragon's Tooth tomorrow, I wanted to wait until that time to find a chance to explain to you......"
"So I'll just say that you're worrying about nothing! My sister Chi Muyan is so reasonable, how can she be angry with you because of such trivial things?" Cang Lan's words had not yet ended, and Chi Muyan's leisurely voice slowly sounded behind the two of them, Cang Lan knew that she had been tricked by him again, and she could only sigh and protest to him in vain.
"Chi Muyan, you didn't tell me that just now!"
"Isn't it? But I don't think it's a good thing that I remember what I just said to you, so do you really want me to remember?"
After Chi Muyan finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows at Cang Lan with a wicked smile, and Cang Lan had no choice but to admit defeat to him, "Okay, as long as the Chi City Lord is willing, no matter what you say, the Chi City Lord is wise and mighty!"
Chi Muyan also put on a high-minded look, raised his hand to Cang Lan and said, "Well, that's right, I'm very satisfied! I'll allow you to go back to Izumo to deal with personal matters first, and then go to the War Dragon's Tooth tomorrow to be dispatched." ”
