Chapter Eighty-Nine: Late Night Talk
The proprietress really did what she said, and let the little second brother carry a quilt and carpet into the room, and spread it next to the bed.
The room was small in size, and there was a table of eight immortals in it, and the floor and bed were almost next to each other.
Xue Ning also felt a little crowded, but now it's too late to regret it, it's a big deal, just a few nights, and wait until the room is vacated.
Xue Ning stepped forward and handed a few taels of silver to the second brother, and said to him, "Hard-working little brother, can you get two basins of hot water, my master and I want to wash up."
Seeing that she was so generous, the little second brother accepted the money and smiled, "Don't worry, girl, I'll send it to you in a while!"
After that, the little second brother went away happily and brought them the door.
Xue Ning saw that he was gone, and he stopped acting with Xiao Chengfeng, and called him Master for a day, which was awkward.
She sat on the ground with her butt and patted the floor with her hand, "Uncle Shi, don't say it, the floor is quite soft!" I'll sleep here tonight!"
Xiao Chengfeng sat at the table of the Eight Immortals, "I'll sleep on the floor, you sleep on the bed!"
Xue Ning raised her eyes to look at him and asked funny, "What's wrong with you these days? Why was it so good to me all of a sudden?"
The girl's eyes were clear and clean, and she stared at him so directly, as if to penetrate his heart.
Xiao Chengfeng looked away without a trace, and replied with a serious face: "You are a disciple, I am a senior uncle, shouldn't I be good to you?"
Xue Ning looked at him carefully, "But you weren't like this before, how do I think you seem to have changed recently, and you're much gentler!"
Xiao Chengfeng coughed lightly and said calmly, "As you told me in the White Bone Mountain, I have also figured it out."
"How did you figure it out?"
"I used to be strict with you...... But lately, you've been so obedient that I feel the need to change my temper." Xiao Chengfeng replied.
Xue Ning's eyes lit up, as if he didn't expect Xiao Chengfeng to say this.
The sun is coming out in the west, and he knows he's going to change his temper?
Xue Ning thought she had heard it wrong!
Xue Ning raised her lips and smiled, hugged her head and lay on the ground, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Thanks to you, you can figure it out, in the future, you can't whip me again!" Xue Ning complained.
Xiao Chengfeng lowered his eyes and looked at her, and suddenly remembered the nonsense he said when Xue Ning lost his memory on the day of Changzhou.
Don't hit me...... Don't hit me?
At that time, she was afraid of being like that, could it be that she was really afraid that I wouldn't be able to?
"Xue Ning...... Don't you hate me?"
Somehow, Xiao Chengfeng suddenly asked with a serious face.
Xue Ning was lying on the ground, her expression stiffened.
For a while, the atmosphere in the room was strange, a little awkward, and a little heavy.
"Uncle Shi, what do you mean by that?" Xue Ning's eyes dodged, not knowing how to answer.
But my heart has begun to weaken.
Is this guy really stupid or fake? Her previous relationship with him, isn't that obviously not a deal?
Aren't they hating each other?
"I want to hear the truth." Xiao Chengfeng stared at her, with a hint of forced questioning.
Xue Ning bit her lower lip secretly and hesitated, "I ......"
Xiao Chengfeng saw that her face was empty, and probably guessed the answer, and no longer forced her to answer, "Forget it, I know if you don't say it."
Somehow, Xue Ning seemed to see a faint sadness on Xiao Chengfeng's face.
Her heart tingled slightly, like a cat scratching.
"Doesn't Uncle Shi hate me?" Xue Ning muttered quietly, quite dissatisfied.
Hearing her words, Xiao Chengfeng's expression was surprised.
"The whole Shushan knows that I don't have a good relationship with my uncle, doesn't my uncle know it?" Xue Ning hugged her knees and said angrily.
Xiao Chengfeng's eyes trembled slightly, and he had an urge to explain.
"I don't hate you." Xiao Chengfeng couldn't help but blurt out, with a voice in his voice
Silk subtle agitation.
Xue Ning chuckled in her heart, her eyes full of surprise.
She stared at the floor in front of her, didn't speak for a long time, and felt a little nervous.
Xiao Chengfeng actually said that he didn't hate me?
How is that possible?
If so, why did you do that to me in your previous life?
Xue Ning's eyes became grim.
Xiao Chengfeng stared at the candle flame on the table, his eyes were far-reaching, and he fell into deep thought, and some long-term memories appeared in his mind.
Eleven years ago, when Xiao Chengfeng saw Xue Ning for the first time, he admired this child very much and wanted to take her as an apprentice.
It's a pity that the girl's heart is not in herself, and the girl's eyes will always only see Lin Ziqing.
Sure enough, she became Lin Ziqing's apprentice and the personal disciple of the head of Shushan.
However, he didn't plan to tell Xue Ning about these things.
Xue Ning already has his own master, he doesn't want to be loved, and he doesn't want to embarrass this child.
Since then, however, he has not taken in any disciples.
This time, he asked Xue Ning to call him Master, maybe just to comfort himself.
"Bang bang bang!"
There was a sudden knock on the door, and the voice of the little second brother rang out from outside.
"Two guest officers, the water is coming."
Xue Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief, quickly got up from the ground, and opened the door.
"Thank you!"
After washing, Xue Ning lay on the ground, wrapped in the quilt and about to sleep.
Xiao Chengfeng walked up to her, picked the person up from the ground, and threw it on the bed.
"Sleep!" Xiao Chengfeng ordered.
Xue Ning fell on the bed and was about to get up, but was frightened back by Xiao Chengfeng's eyes, so he obediently shrank into the corner.
"Sleep, sleep, I can't wait! You old bones and waists, you don't have to panic when you sleep on the floor!" Xue Ning teased.
Xiao Chengfeng just glared at her, he was in no mood to argue with her, so he lay on the ground and covered the quilt.
Xue Ning also lay down, pillowed his arm, and closed his eyes.
The room was eerily quiet, except for the steady breathing of two people.
The faint light of the candle flame flickered in the room, and slowly, the last drop of wax burned out, and the room was plunged into darkness.
Half an hour passed, and Xue Ning didn't feel sleepy, tossing and turning on the bed.
As soon as she thought that Xiao Chengfeng was sleeping on the ground next to her, she didn't feel comfortable.
I don't know if the guy fell asleep.
Xue Ning tilted her head slightly and glanced in the direction of Xiao Chengfeng, it was pitch black, and she only saw a vague shadow.
"Uncle Shi? Have you slept?" Xue Ning shouted in a low voice.
"Uncle?"
"Do what?" Xiao Chengfeng's somewhat tired voice sounded in the quiet room.
Xue Ning saw that he wasn't asleep, and said, "I can't sleep, how about you tell me a story?"
"How old do you have to tell a story?" Xiao Chengfeng was helpless.
Xue Ning said deliberately, "I couldn't sleep before, and the master coaxed me like this! As my uncle, shouldn't you coax your nephew?"
When Xiao Chengfeng heard this, he was silent for a long time.
"Is Lin Ziqing good to you?" Xiao Chengfeng asked suddenly.
Xue Ning didn't understand why he was asking about this, but when Lin Ziqing was mentioned, Xue Ning's mood became much happier.
"Master has always been gentle with me, he never scolds me, thinks about me in everything, and treats me like his own daughter."
After finishing speaking, Xue Ning's tone slowly weakened, it was precisely because Lin Ziqing had always been accommodating to her in every way, so when she pretended to be stupid before, Lin Ziqing snubbed her for a few days, and she would be so disappointed.
Until now, she didn't understand why?
Could it be that if she becomes stupid, the master won't love her?
Xiao Chengfeng didn't know about Xue Ning
What are you thinking now, to his ears, Xue Ning's words are full of trust and love for Lin Ziqing, telling him every word how good Lin Ziqing is to her.
I can't compare.
"What story do you want to hear?" Xiao Chengfeng suddenly compromised.
Xue Ning was slightly stunned, she just mentioned it casually out of boredom, and she didn't think that Xiao Chengfeng would agree to her.
I didn't expect this guy to agree!
"Let me think about it, last time I told you about when I was a child, this time, you can tell me about when you were a child, how about it?" Xue Ning said.
The man in the dark was quiet again, not wanting to bring up the subject.
Sensing that he didn't want to mention it, Xue Ning hurriedly changed his words, "It's okay if you don't talk about it......
"Since I was a child, my parents are gone......" The man's voice carried a hint of forbearance.
Xue Ning's expression changed slightly.
Xiao Chengfeng's deep voice said faintly, "I was sent to the Yun family as an adopted son."
"The Yun family? Is it?" Xue Ning seemed to have thought of something.
"That's right, it's Chu Yao's home." Xiao Chengfeng said.
"And then?"
"Master Yun and Mrs. Yun treated me like their own sons, and when I was sixteen years old, they even married me her eldest daughter." Xiao Chengfeng's voice became deeper and deeper.
Eldest...... Could it be Yun Chuyao's sister, Yun Chuxue?
Xue Ning didn't expect Xiao Chengfeng to even tell her this!
"Do you like her?" Xue Ning asked curiously.
"Are you talking about my fiancée?"
"Well, Chu Yao's sister, Miss Chu Xue, do you like her?" Xue Ning couldn't help but turn over and face Xiao Chengfeng in the dark.
Xiao Chengfeng turned his back to Xue Ning, and there was a trace of undetectable sadness in his eyes.
The first snow ......
These three words are like an old scar, which seems to have no feeling, but the moment the scar is torn, it still hurts.
After a long time, Xiao Chengfeng let out a long sigh.
"At that time, I loved her so much."
The heart of his youth, even after a thousand years, when he thought of her, Xiao Chengfeng still couldn't let go.
Hearing Xiao Chengfeng admit it in person, at that moment, Xue Ning's expression was a little shocked.
She never thought that Xiao Chengfeng, who seemed to be cold and arrogant and unkind, would also say that she loved a woman.
She originally thought that Xiao Chengfeng would not be bound by love, because he seemed so calm, it was hard to imagine that he would be obsessed with a certain woman.
"Are you married?" Xue Ning asked again, and after finishing speaking, she was a little nervous.
Xiao Chengfeng's voice was hoarse and trembling a little, "She died the night before our wedding."
Xue Ning's heart tightened, and he was shocked.
Although she knew that Yun Chuxue was dead, she didn't expect to die so strangely.
Why did she die? What's hidden in it?
She vaguely felt that the reason why he wanted to save Yun Chuyao might have something to do with this incident.
Yun Chuxue died when Xiao Chengfeng loved her the most......
So even after a thousand years, Xiao Chengfeng can't forget her.
Xue Ning didn't dare to ask anymore, she knew that these things were a pain for Xiao Chengfeng. Z.br>
Her face was grim, her brows were furrowed, and she said with some apologies, "I'm sorry Uncle Shi."
Xiao Chengfeng was silent, and he didn't know what he was thinking at the moment.
After a long time, he slowly came back to his senses and sighed, "Sleep!"
Xue Ning also stopped talking, covered her head with the quilt, and closed her eyes tightly.
But what Xiao Chengfeng just said kept echoing in his ears.
"I love her so much......
Xue Ning felt sorry for him, and unconsciously felt sad for him.
What does a woman who can be loved by Xiao Chengfeng look like?
