Pingyang City is a small place, the restaurant where Mao Yuning once ate, she must not be able to go, and it is impossible for her to eat with her mask on, if she is recognized while eating, she will have to run away with Xi Yan.

In the end, Xi Yan got out of the car to buy food, packed it and took it home to eat.

Zhan Yuxi had just reminded her that there were several relatives from the side branches of the family who came to visit the house.

Mao Yuning had no choice but to take Xi Yan to the martial arts hall.

The martial arts hall of the Mao family is a Chinese-style courtyard of Xiashan Tiger, a typical old-fashioned courtyard in Pingyang, with two wooden doors on the red knee bolted with a lock.

Mao Yuning went out today with a keychain, and there was a key to the door of the martial arts hall on the keychain.

Mao Yuning took out the key to unlock the lock and pushed open the wooden door.

She turned on the lights in the room before letting Xi Yan in, and after closing the door, she led him to the backyard, while briefly introducing the layout of the entire martial arts hall to him.

The whole martial arts hall is very large and empty, and where it is against the wall, there are rows of wooden sticks erected, and you can still see the wooden stakes for practicing when you pass by the front yard.

Xi Yan followed Mao Yuning to the backyard, and a boxy sky appeared in front of him.

The courtyard is full of bamboo chairs, and a small table is placed in the middle, and there is a set of simple tea sets on it, so it can be seen that people often sit here to drink tea and chat.

Mao Yuning asked him to put the lunch box in his hand on a red square table, and she brought two long benches over, one for each and one for one to sit aside.

The whole backyard is quiet, and the occasional chirping of insects can be heard.

Mao Yuning didn't eat much, but put down his chopsticks in a few bites.

Xi Yan asked, "Do you want to go again tomorrow?"

Mao Yuning shook his head, today's notes are almost done.

Xi Yan asked again, "Then what do you do next?"

Mao Yuning opened the notes and looked at them, before saying, "I want to try the feeling of practicing alone at night." ”

The girl in the character practiced alone for two whole years in the dark night.

Xi Yan nodded: "Okay, tomorrow night, I'll accompany you." ”

“…… Brother Xi is practicing alone. Mao Yuning reminded emphatically.

Xi Yan: "I won't practice with you." ”

Mao Yuning: "......"

Today, Xi Yan spent a day with her in Panlong Pavilion without a trace of impatience, Mao Yuning remembered another thing and did not refuse again.

After dinner, Mao Yuning pulled two bamboo chairs and placed them in the middle of the courtyard.

"Here, try the feeling of bathing in the moonlight." Mao Yuning patted the chair and motioned for Xi Yan to sit down.

After Xi Yan sat down, his body subconsciously leaned back, looking at the sky at the four corners above his head, bathing in the moonlight, bathing in the heaven and earth, and making him close his eyes relaxedly.

Halfway, he turned his head to look at Mao Yuning, who was lying in another chair.

Mao Yuning lay on the bamboo chair, took off her shoes, curled her legs, and closed her eyes.

Even she herself did not notice that in front of him, she was almost defenseless.

In order to conform to the personality, Mao Yuning's diet is decreasing day by day, and he will go to the martial arts hall to practice every night, and it will take a few hours to practice.

Xi Yan said that he was with her, he really just accompanied her, and he never bothered her.

She turned off the lights and practiced, and he sat in the courtyard, always silent.

Mao Yuning was so tired that he was paralyzed, and he had no intention of stepping forward, until it was over, he would come to her side and send her home.

This kind of silent guardianship reminded her of the bridge in the role, the sixteen-year-old boy who made the girl middle-aged and still remembered it.

She used to envy the girl, luckier than her, and met the person who had a warm life.

Is she now considered to have met it?

Will she be like a girl after he leaves, and will miss her for the rest of her life?

Or many years later, I will feel sorry to be alone.

It's just that now, she can't give him the affection he wants, and she shouldn't hang him selfishly.

"Xi Yan......" Mao Yuning looked at the figure in front of him, and suddenly shouted his name.

This is the first time she has called his name, and it used to be Brother Xi.

Xi Yan was still carrying her thermos pot in her hand, and when she heard the voice, her footsteps stopped, and she looked back at her.

"If today, I tell you that the answer is not what you want, you ...... What will be done? Mao Yuning asked.

Her expression was calm, and her eyes were as clear as the ice moon above her head.

Seeing that he was silent, Mao Yuning couldn't help but ask again, "Will you turn around and leave?" ”

Xi Yan: "If you don't like me, you'll let me go." ”

And not whether he will leave.

Mao Yuning: "Then I'll let you give up and leave?" Would you do that? ”

Xi Yan nodded: "Yes." ”

Mao Yuning has a very complicated mood, at her age, her career is on the rise, and she can't take care of her feelings at all.

Xi Yan showed his heart to her, and he definitely hoped that the relationship would be settled.

Since she can't give him an emotional response, how can she drag him and enjoy his dedication and his company with peace of mind.

It's so unfair to him.

Mao Yuning: "I...... I don't want to fall in love yet, I know you're good, it's just that love is mutual, it's going together, I can't be so selfish. ”

Mao Yuning knows that his dedication and his companionship have no purpose, and he may like a person and accompany her to do anything, which is willing and willing.

But what about a long time?

The person who always compromises and gives will suffer more than anyone else if his emotional needs are not met.

Xi Yan is such an excellent person, his pride should not be planted on her.

Mao Yuning said these words, not on an impromptu basis.

That night, when Xi Yan expressed her thoughts, the question she was thinking about was not whether to give him a chance to fall in love, which is what many real men and women will do.

The question she has been thinking about is how to refuse, so as not to hurt his face, and to make him give up resolutely and turn away.

As for the fact that they will still be friends in the future, she will never mention it.

If you reject him, don't give him any more hope.

People come and go in this world, and their feelings are divided and combined, Xi Yan just has a good impression of her, and she has not been trapped for a long time, and she will meet someone more suitable than her in the future.

This is the best result.

Mao Yuning's resolute, serious, and calm gaze looked at him unswervingly, hoping that he could put an end to this matter.

Xi Yan finally nodded and responded: "Okay." ”

As he used to do every night, he sent her to the door, handed her the thermos pot in his hand, and watched her enter the door before leaving.

Mao Yuning tied the iron door of the gatehouse and leaned against the iron door in a daze.

She thought that in her dream, she rejected those blind date men, and they turned their faces ruthlessly, eager to tear her appearance.

She knew that Xi Yan was not this kind of person, but she didn't expect that he didn't have a word of entanglement, so calm, it seemed that she had expected that she would do this.

He has always been very clear in his heart that she is not moved, but she still does so many things according to her heart.
