Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Long Smoke and the Sunset (5)

Mo Jianchen was caught off guard by her hand, and couldn't help but be shocked, now that the two of them are no longer children, it is inevitable that it is a little inappropriate to make such an intimate gesture in front of the elders.

But she was drunk, and he was afraid of hurting him, so he didn't move, but let her take his hand, and her slender hand grasped his broad palm firmly.

However, Xiahou Muqing didn't feel that there was anything wrong, just the good friendship between the two of them when they were still the chief horns, looked at the hands held by the two of them, and just smiled lightly: "She, it's really the same as when she was a child, she hasn't changed at all, she still depends on you so much when she grows up." ”

Mo Jianchen didn't let go of the hand he was holding, but he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, he just lowered his head and smiled wryly.

At this moment, He Lingfeng just brought a basin of hot water and walked into the hall, just in time to see the scene of Du Zhiqing holding Mo Jianchen's hand, his heart couldn't help but tremble violently, when his face changed, his footsteps stopped, and the whole person froze in place.

Xiahou Muqing focused on Du Zhiqing's body, he didn't notice the strange look of his expression, and when he saw that he hadn't stepped forward before he entered the door, he only said to him: "What are you doing there, come here!" ”

"Oh...... Oh. He Lingfeng was stunned for a moment, listened to Xiahou Muqing's words, stepped forward, and put the hot water on the table.

It can be seen that Du Zhiqing held Mo Jianchen's hand tightly, and Mo Jianchen had no intention of letting go, this scene fell in his eyes, it was as dazzling as a nail in his eye. But it's hard to say anything about his identity, so he can only glance at it, not look at it.

After Du Zhiqing held Mo Jianchen's hand, she closed her eyes and stopped making trouble, her breathing gradually became even, her cheeks were still red, and there was a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, that is, she had fallen asleep.

Xiahou Muqing whispered: "This girl is already asleep, shhh, be quiet, don't wake her up, let her fall asleep." ”

Mo Jianchen nodded, and asked again, "Aunt Aqing, is there anything else that Jian Chen needs to help do?" ”

Xiahou Muqing shook his head and only said, "No need, I'll take care of her, it's not too early, you can go back quickly!" ”

Mo Jianchen glanced at Du Zhiqing's quiet sleeping face, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded and agreed: "Well, that's okay, then I'll go back first, Aunt Aqing, I'll come back another day." ”

He cautiously withdrew his hand from Du Zhiqing's hand, for fear of waking her up.

After he withdrew his hand, he saw Du Zhiqing's eyebrows frown slightly, and he muttered again: "Brother Chen." And he went back to sleep.

"Zhiqing!" Hearing her calling to himself, Mo Jianchen couldn't help but tighten his heart and hurriedly turned around.

But she went back to sleep, and there was no other reaction.

Xiahou Muqing turned around, shook his head lightly at him, and said, "It's okay, don't worry, she's already asleep." He's in trouble with you today, so go back and rest early! ”

"Okay." Mo Jianchen nodded, and only said, "Then I'll go, Aunt Aqing." ”

After he said that, he stood up and wanted to leave the hall, but before leaving, he still had some thoughts in his heart, and glanced back at Du Zhiqing, and then stepped out of the hall.

This scene was seen by He Lingfeng, and he saw a trace of unhappiness flash in his eyes, and then quickly disappeared, but he couldn't help but clench his fists.

After Mo Jianchen left, He Lingfeng asked Xiahou Muqing, "Senior Sister, what is Senior Sister doing today, why is she drunk like this?" ”

Xiahou Muqing wiped Du Zhiqing's cheeks with a wet towel dipped in hot water, and said, "I don't know why she is so excited today, and she actually went to Xiufeng Mountain with Jian Chen to drink the wine brewed by her grandfather. This kid knows that he can't drink alcohol, but he doesn't have to drink such strong wine. ”

"Fortunately, I went with Jian Chen, if I met someone else, I really didn't feel at ease, this girl's family, just drinking outside, what if something happened." This kid has always been so confused, and it's not worrying at all. ”

"Senior sister went with him again?" Hearing the name Mo Jianchen, He Lingfeng couldn't help frowning, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

And Xiahou Muqing was a little relieved: "I thought she would always hate Jian Chen, this girl's mind is really incomprehensible, and she said before that she wanted to get along with Jian Chen, but I didn't expect to be reconciled so soon." ”

"That's fine, Jian Chen is a down-to-earth child, Zhiqing's confused temperament, I can rest assured that Jian Chen will be by his side in the future."

"Master, why do you trust him so much?" He Lingfeng was also dissatisfied in his heart, and frowned: "Senior Brother Mo has only been in Muzhou City for a few days, who knows what he is thinking, what if he has any bad thoughts about Senior Sister?" ”

"A few days ago, when Senior Sister first saw him, he was light Senior Sister, and now that they are reconciled, he took Senior Sister to play crazy again, yesterday they went out of Luanxiang Pavilion together, and came back very late, and today he drunk Senior Sister again, Senior Sister, how can you allow Senior Sister to stay with such a person?"

Xiahou Muqing shook his head, he didn't listen to He Lingfeng's words, but said softly: "Ling Feng, you are not a disciple of Luanxiang Pavilion before, you may not know about the previous things, Zhiqing and Jianchen, the two children grew up together, and the two of them have been very good since they were young. ”

"Jian Chen, this kid has also known to me since he was a child, he is the same as his father, he may be a little cynical in his temperament, but his nature is down-to-earth and serious, not what you think."

"He has been taking care of Zhiqing since he was a child, and he can do everything, and I am absolutely relieved to have him with Zhiqing."

"Zhiqing, this kid I also know, I've always been so confused. It must have been her idea to get so drunk today, fortunately there was Jian Chen by her side, otherwise I was afraid that she would not be able to restrain herself. ”

"I still don't think it's right." He Lingfeng frowned and shook his head, unwilling to be reconciled: "Senior Sister and Senior Brother Mo are lonely men and widows together, and they have just ...... Just now, Master, you obviously saw it. ”

"Senior Brother Mo has been holding Senior Sister's hand and refusing to let go, Senior Sister, how can you let him be so light Senior Sister and not stop him, he dares to do this in front of you, I really don't know what he will do when you are away?"

"Ling Feng, this is how much you care." Xiahou Muqing still didn't care much, just shook his head and smiled lightly, "The two of them, it's just that they have a friendship when they were young, Zhiqing has relied on Jianchen since he was a child, this is nothing, not to mention that Zhiqing grabbed him first." ”

"The children of the rivers and lakes never care about so many rules, you don't have to worry about this, Jian Chen, this kid is measured, I know."

Hearing Xiahou Muqing say this, He Lingfeng had no choice but to keep his mouth shut and didn't say any more.

But thinking of the scene just now, as well as Shi Niang's words, his heart couldn't help but feel sour.

What is that Mo Jianchen, he offended his senior sister first, and now he is approaching his senior sister again, who knows what he is thinking in his heart. He has only been back for a few days, so why are his senior sister and sister optimistic about him?

Obviously, the person who has been by my sister's side for the longest time is herself, but why is my sister so dependent on him, she holds his hand like that, and keeps chanting his name in her mouth, she has been by her sister's side for ten years, how has my sister ever treated herself like this?

The more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became, but even if he was unwilling, he couldn't do anything.

Shi Niang is optimistic about him, if she continues to talk about it, it will only make Shi Niang disgusted.

Senior sister likes to be with him, can I still stop my senior sister? He is just the identity of the adopted son of the master and the mother, and there are some things that he can't participate in.

Xiahou Muqing noticed a trace of displeasure on He Lingfeng's face, so he asked him with concern: "Lingfeng, what's wrong with you, why do I look at you as if you have something on your mind?" ”

He Lingfeng just shook his head and lowered his eyes: "I'm fine, I'm just worried about Senior Sister, I'm afraid that Senior Sister and Senior Brother Mo will be together, it will be a bad ......."

"There's nothing to worry about." Xiahou Muqing said softly: "I know that you are a careful kid and have always been very cautious. But you don't have to worry about this, Jian Chen is the child we watched grow up, and Zhiqing will not have any problems staying with him. ”

The more he listened to Xiahou Muqing's praise of Mo Jianchen, the more sour and sad his heart became, "Master." ”

He raised his head and asked Xiahou Muqing with a little frustration on his face: "You recognize Senior Brother Mo, and Senior Sister also approves of him, but the most people who usually accompany Senior Sister are apprentices." ”

"Then do you think that Senior Sister is usually more at ease with the apprentice, or is it more reassuring for you to be with Senior Brother Mo?"

Xiahou Muqing just said: "You can't ask that, there's nothing more reassuring to say." You are the apprentice adopted by the master and the master, we all know your character, and we also trust to put you and Zhiqing together. ”

"Jian Chen is a child we have watched grow up since childhood, although he is a little arrogant at this age, but he is also a reliable person, let Zhiqing play with him, I am also relieved."

"Whoever accompanies the two of you, the master is relieved, both of you are good children, but they can't be compared."

He Lingfeng lowered his head, with a little loss in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "But Senior Brother Mo has been away from Senior Sister for ten years, and now he is no longer young. ”

"In the past ten years, the person who has been with Senior Sister the longest has been an apprentice, but as soon as Senior Brother Mo came back, Senior Sister and Senior Sister transferred all their attention to him......"
