Looking at He Lingfeng's somewhat tasteful appearance, Xiahou Muqing couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Ling Feng, what's wrong with you, why are you so emotionally moved today, you are not usually like this." ”

"Shi Niang is just talking casually, you are an iron-blooded man, how can you make so many sighs because of a little thing when Jian Chen came back, this is not like your character."

"Ah......" He Lingfeng knew that he was speechless, and quickly sorted out his thoughts, returned his expression to normal, exhaled, calmed down, and said calmly: "No, Master, the apprentice is just talking casually." ”

After that, he changed the topic, "Senior sister, senior sister is already drunk, is there anything that needs to be taken care of by the apprentice?" ”

"No need, Ling Feng." Xiahou Muqing looked at his daughter who had fallen asleep, and said to He Lingfeng again: "Your senior sister, she is already asleep, I will take care of her in a while, it's not early, you can go back to sleep." ”

Looking at Du Zhiqing's sleeping face, he felt a sense of loss in his heart, and in the end he could only listen to Xiahou Muqing's words, nodded, and said slowly: "Okay, Shiniang, the apprentice will leave first, Shiniang will rest early." ”

After he said that, he stood up, walked out of the hall, and after going out of the main entrance, looking at the stars on a moonlit night, the loneliness in his heart deepened, and in an instant, a feeling of abandonment abandoned.

He took a long breath as he looked at the quiet night, and finally walked down the steps to his room.

No matter who the senior sister chooses, it is the choice of her own soul after all, others have no right to interfere, and she has said that as long as she chooses, he will support it without any reason, even if she is unwilling, but what can it be.

Since drinking and getting drunk with Mo Jianchen on Xiufeng Mountain that day, Du Zhiqing has not seen Mo Jianchen again these days.

The annual martial arts competition in Muzhou City is about to be held, and the annual martial arts competition is held by Luanxiang Pavilion, Mo Beiya and Xue Wenru and his wife, and the elders of Luanxiang Pavilion, participate in the holding of the Heroes Competition.

Mo Beiya was afraid that his son would be too idle these days, so he called him too, and participated in the preparations for the holding of the Heroes Competition with the elders of Luan Xiang Pavilion.

Because of his participation in this matter, Mo Jianchen suddenly became busy from idle, because he had been busy with these things these days, and he had not had the opportunity to meet Du Zhiqing for several days.

couldn't see Mo Jianchen, and after playing with him, Du Zhiqing inevitably felt a little lonely in his heart. She originally wanted to participate and accompany Mo Jianchen, but her father and mother did not agree.

Du Congyue and Xiahou Muqing both knew their daughter's temperament, and they were afraid that she would cause trouble in such rigorous preparations, so they didn't let her get involved, and only let her stay alone in Luanxiang Pavilion to practice martial arts.

My father and mother disagreed, and she had no other way but to stay in Luanxiang Pavilion obediently. These days, at most, I just went to Xiahou Wandai to have fun, which was very boring.

"One piece, two pieces, three or four pieces, five pieces, six pieces, eight or nine pieces, flying into the pool, you can't see it, you can't see it, you can't see it, you can't see it......"

In the evening, the sun is setting, and it is like a person sitting in the courtyard of the Luozhu Hall, with the petals of the fallen flowers in his hands, and he is bored with muttering in his mouth.

"Oh, it's really boring." I saw her pout, threw out the fallen flowers, put her hands on her cheeks, and said boringly: "You are all gone, just leave me here alone, what do I mean?" ”

She lowered her eyes again as she spoke, and said, "Brother Chen, Brother Chen hasn't come to play with me these days, and I don't know what they're busy with, and they won't let me go and see." ”

"Zhiqing." I heard the door creaking, and the one who entered the door was my mother Xiahou Muqing.

"Mother, you're back." Du Zhiqing stood up and took two steps forward, "Have you finished the preparations for the Heroes Competition, why did you come back alone, Dad?" ”

Xiahou Muqing walked up a few steps, sat down on the stone chair, and said to her slowly: "I've been busy these days, and everything that should be prepared has basically been prepared, so I'm waiting for it to be held in a few days." Your father and your uncle were discussing the matter of the venue, and he said that he would let his mother come back first, and he would come back later. ”

"Then ......" Du Zhiqing blinked his eyes lightly, with a bit of eagerness in his eyes: "Is Brother Chen also there, mother, have you seen him these days, what is he busy with?" ”

Xiahou Muqing shook his head, "Daddy and your Uncle Abei are not in the same venue, my mother didn't see Jian Chen, and my mother didn't know what they were doing." But we're about to get done with it, so they're going to be fast. ”

"Oh." didn't find out the news of Brother Chen from her mother's mouth, she was not only a little disappointed, but hung her head in frustration.

Xiahou Muqing looked at her like this, poked his head, and said with a chuckle: "You are so listless these days, you think about your brother Chen, I haven't seen him for a few days, you miss him so much." ”

"Hmph." I saw Du Zhiqing pursed his lips, snorted softly, and said with a little dissatisfaction on his face: "You are all really, you are all going to prepare for the Heroes Competition, and I am not allowed to go, so I am left here alone, I can't even see Brother Chen, no one plays with me, it's really boring." ”

Xiahou Muqing shook his head: "With your temperament, you may add some chaos if you go." You just stay here honestly, and when the Heroes Contest starts, you can go and meet them. ”

Du Zhiqing raised his eyes again, still dissatisfied: "But why can Brother Chen go, I can't go, Brother Chen is not here, and no one is playing with me, I really want to go to Brother Chen." ”

Looking at her like this, Xiahou Muqing couldn't help laughing: "You rely on your brother Cheng, you are really dependent on you since you were a child, and it has been ten years, and it really hasn't changed at all." You don't know what you said and did when you were drunk that day. ”

Mentioning the events of that day, Du Zhiqing couldn't help but be stunned, his eyes couldn't help but be a little curious, he looked at his mother and asked seriously: "Mother, you haven't told me all along, how did Brother Chen send me back that night, what did I say?" ”

Xiahou Muqing shook his head with a smile, and said truthfully: "I don't know what kind of madness you had that day, you actually drank the liquor brewed by your grandfather, and you were so drunk that you were helped back by Jian Chen." ”

"You kept talking about Brother Chen, Brother Chen, and you said that you should always be with him and not separate, you still held someone's hand, and you refused to let go of anything!"

"What?" Hearing this, Du Zhiqing couldn't help but be shocked, hearing her mother's words, she couldn't help blushing a little, she narrowed her eyes a little embarrassed, and whispered: "I...... How could I say something like that and do something like that? ”

"Let's just say you're a little confused." Xiahou Muqing scratched the tip of her nose and smiled lightly: "These are all said by yourself, when you get drunk, you don't remember anything, see if you dare to drink so drunk in the future!" ”

"Oh, I didn't, I didn't." Du Zhiqing blushed for a moment, hugged his head, shook his head and denied: "I wouldn't do something like that, I didn't." ”

She couldn't help but feel that she couldn't face the embarrassment she had done, so she hurriedly dropped a sentence: "Mother, I'm going back to the room......"

As she spoke, she ran back to her room and closed the door.

Xiahou Muqing just looked at the back of his daughter running away, shook his head with a smile, and sighed lightly: "Alas, this confused stupid child! ”

"Oh my God, oh my God, how could I do something like that?" As she spoke, she ran to the bed, threw herself on the bed, pounded the pillow and said wildly: "How could I hold Brother Chen's hand and not let go, and say that I want to be with him forever, am I crazy?" ”

"I'm a girl, so I want to see him in the future, how to face him, I don't know if I have said anything else, he can't remember what I said. If he remembered, wouldn't he laugh at me......"

"Ahhh......h ”

The next morning, it was another boring day, and when everyone left Luozhutang, Luozhutang was left alone with Du Zhiqing. After practicing kung fu, she was idle and bored, so she took a drawing board, brushes and dyes to the compound of Luanxiang Pavilion to paint Danqing for recreation.

Laying out the paper, she lightly dipped her paintbrush in the dye and sketched it on the board. She was idle, and she didn't have any purpose, and she didn't know what she should paint.

Out of boredom, she sketched a poplar tree on the paper with a light green dye without thinking.

This poplar tree stands majestically in the corner of Muzhou City, and I still remember that she was just a small seedling in the past, but now it has grown into a towering tree.

I still remember when I was six years old, when Brother Chen left, he once said to himself that when this poplar tree grows up, it will be the time for him to return.

Sure enough, he didn't lie to himself, ten years later, the poplar tree finally grew into a towering tree, and he finally returned to Muzhou City.

Although there were some ridiculous misunderstandings when they met for the first time when he grew up, he is still his brother Chen, and he has not changed at all. is still the brother Chen who can play with her and make trouble with her, she can follow him without scruples and rely on him.

Now that we're back to each other this time, let's never be separated again.

Thinking like this, she couldn't help but lift her paintbrush and sketch a man's back under the poplar tree.
