CHAPTER XVI. : The story of a sunflower

The Xiao family's mansion has a garden, which is purple and red, and the fragrance is overflowing.

Walking on the garden path, Xiao Chen's little heart was pounding.

Some nervous, even more apprehensive.

Mu Lengxi was half a body behind him, holding a book in his arms, silent.

Although she took the initiative to ask Xiao Chen out to talk, she has never been good at dealing with people, and she didn't know how to start the topic.

She was waiting for Xiao Chen to speak first.

Xiao Chen kept wanting to speak, but he forcibly swallowed back the words several times when they came to his mouth.

This conversation is too important, Mu Lengxi will go to the Holy War Academy to study in a few days, and I am afraid that he will not be able to see each other for a long time.

When he didn't want to see him again, there was an extra Prince Qianyang by her side.

How can I make a lasting impression on her?

How can I keep this engagement?

Xiao Chen had a headache when he thought about it.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

He saw a sunflower not far away.

This is Mu Lengxi's favorite flower.

He walked forward quickly, stooping down to pluck the sunflower.

If Mu Lengxi at this time is almost the same as the time of the week.

Then this sunflower, and what he is going to say next, may be able to impress her.

Because when he was a week, he used those words and a flower to impress her who had been chasing her for more than ten years.

If he can be born again, why can't history repeat itself?

Xiao Chen straightened up, turned his back to Mu Lengxi, sorted out his words, and immediately prepared to speak.

Suddenly, the world was quiet.

Deathly silence has come!

This familiar dead silence made Xiao Chen break out in a cold sweat.

Then he found that his body was constantly moving, and he couldn't even move his fingers.

A familiar cold voice exploded in his head!

"The remaining number of turns has been stored for too long and has exceeded the expiration date. The Wheel of Fortune activates on its own!"

"Wheel of Fortune, start turning!"

"Ding! The rotation is complete, and the host unfortunately draws the fate punishment, the punishment content: the host cannot move and cannot speak for three hours. ”

What's going on?

Xiao Chen's doubts had just arisen.

The silent world receded suddenly.

Mu Lengxi's soft voice sounded at the same time.

"We should talk about this marriage contract. ”

At this moment, Xiao Chen had his back to Mu Lengxi, holding a sunflower in his arms, but his body couldn't move, and he couldn't even open his mouth.

Of course, he knew that this marriage contract had to be talked about, but he couldn't say anything at this time.

"Prince Qianyang, he's fine. ”

Mu Lengxi's voice came again.

Xiao Chen's heart tightened, he turned his back to Mu Lengxi, so he couldn't see her expression, but he seemed to imagine the admiration in his eyes when she said this.

He also knew that Fan Qianyang was fine, but he was unwilling, he wanted to tell her that he could be better.

Can't even do that?

"In a few days, I will go to the Jihadist Academy. ”

After Mu Lengxi said this, he paused for a while.

She wanted to tell him that she would soon be studying at that legendary academy, and that they were no longer from the same world?

Xiao Chen thought so, and his heart seemed to be clenched tightly.

"In four days, I will leave the capital and go to the Ice and Snow Palace to find my sister first. I heard that on that day, you had a duel with the son of the Zhu family?"

When Xiao Chen heard this, he only felt that his whole body was extremely cold. What she means is that he doesn't have to say goodbye to her?

"In the study, Xiao Gongzi said that you love coughing, you must be just anxious. Actually, you and I only met a few times when we were children, how could it be"

Mu Lengxi said this sentence with some trepidation.

Xiao Chen kept roaring in his heart, how he wanted to turn around and give her the sunflower in his hand, and tell her in the hottest words that he had precipitated decades of love.

But he couldn't, and fate punished him for three hours without being able to move or speak.

"Young Master Xiao, is this engagement important to you?"

Mu Lengxi was silent for a long time before speaking again.

Xiao Chen wanted to cry without tears, at this time he should have shouted at her countless times, "Important!", but he could only turn his back to her and be silent coldly.

What does this mean?

What attitude does this represent in Mu Lengxi's eyes?

Time passed little by little, and a man and a woman in the garden, not relatively silent, but with their backs to each other and silent.

After an unknown time, Mu Lengxi finally spoke: "In that case, goodbye to Xiao Gongzi." ”

Footsteps rang out, then slowly faded away.

Mu Lengxi has already gone away.

Xiao Chen felt that she had gone far from his life. She had already shown him that she admired Prince Qianyang and had no good feelings for him.

But he could only be silent, and he couldn't do anything to redeem it.

Then after the dissolution of this marriage.

He will stay in the national capital and do nothing because he can't cultivate the source.

She will go to the Holy War Academy to meet and fall in love with Prince Qianyang.

Eventually, they will become strangers.

Living unrelated lives on different paths.

In different lives, forget each other

Mu Lengxi had some regrets.

There is also a touch of sadness.

She couldn't understand why she was so sad that the engagement was about to be dissolved.

But she knew that she was very curious about Xiao Chen.

For the first time, she had a "I'm curious" mood towards someone.

She hid it well and didn't show it on her face.

Looking down at a book calmed her mood very well.

But she found that she couldn't calm down and read a book.

She wanted to know more about the teenager, wanted to know him, wanted to be friends with him, and didn't want to get out of the marriage.

So she asked to talk to Xiao Chen alone.

Just what to talk about?

Halfway through the garden, she didn't know how to speak.

Do you tell him plainly, "What kind of person are you? I'm curious!"

It's a little hard to talk about when you think about it.

Finally waited until he was motionless with his back to her.

She couldn't help but utter the first sentence.

She said: "We should talk about this marriage contract. ”

What I thought in my heart was to cancel the divorce first.

Then she said, "Prince Qianyang, he's fine." ”

Actually, what she wanted to say was, "Prince Qianyang, he's good, but you're better." It's just that the words "but you're better" are a bit like confessions between lovers.

She felt that she was just a little curious about Xiao Chen, and she might still have some good feelings, but it was not to the point where she could confess, so she swallowed these four words raw.

Later, she said that she was going to the Holy War Academy, and her original intention was to tell Xiao Chen that she wanted to form her own war group and win the holy wish of the [king], and she didn't want to rely on Prince Qianyang. But after thinking about it, Xiao Chen didn't know about it, and she shouldn't have told him about it.

So, she only said that she was going to the Jihad Academy.

Immediately afterwards, she remembered that Xiao Chen and Zhu Rongcheng had a duel four days later. She couldn't help but be a little worried, so she told a little lie, in fact, she would not leave the capital until five days later. She hoped that Xiao Chen would see her off instead of risking a duel, so she said that she would leave four days later.

Xiao Chen remained silent from beginning to end for some reason.

She suddenly thought of the sentence "I love Lengxi" that Xiao Chen said in the study.

She tentatively asked Xiao Chen if this sentence was a momentary joke in a hurry.

didn't get an answer from Xiao Chen.

She began to doubt Xiao Chen's sincerity. So she asked, "Is this engagement important to you?"

She thought that if Xiao Chen answered "important", then she would say, "Then don't get out of the marriage." ”

But Xiao Chen still didn't answer.

She was a little irritated and angry because of it. It's like going back to that birthday party when I was six years old.

Everyone thought that her tantrum at the age of six was because of the singing scene, but it wasn't. She was angry because Xiao Chen, who promised to celebrate her birthday, didn't come that day.

Later, she learned that Xiao Chen was locked up by Xiao Laohu. As a result, she became reticent, and whenever others mentioned her marriage contract with Xiao Chen, she would get angry.

Now, Xiao Chen is not even willing to answer whether this marriage contract is important to him or not.

She was even angrier.

So she said "goodbye" coldly and left the garden.

When she was six years old, she had some crush on the boy who was smarter than her.

Today, at the age of fourteen, I was impressed by his knowledge of the source, so I regained this favor.

And curiosity arose.

It's just that, at this moment, nothing matters.

Now she just wants to go home, read books, repair the source, and then save her mother.

See you this time,

Then it will never be seen again

Mu Lengxi naturally didn't know how painful and tormented Xiao Chen, who was frozen in the garden and couldn't move, felt in his heart.

Xiao Chen naturally didn't know that Mu Lengxi had already developed curiosity and affection for him in the second week.

Some misunderstandings arise and may not be solved for the rest of their lives.

Some people miss, maybe never again.

The story of a sunflower, which has not yet begun, seems to have ushered in an end.
