Chapter 45: Confidant

After putting off the sky lanterns, a few people took advantage of the moonlight to take advantage of the sultry and returned to the water pavilion to drink.

After three rounds of drinking, Luo Huaizhou, who was obviously drunk and hazy, staggered to his feet, with a red face, but his two eyes were still full of excitement that could not be concealed, he looked at Su Jingqian on the side, and smiled mysteriously at everyone, "Let me tell you, don't look at Jingqian's fine skin and tender meat, in fact, his martial arts are not inferior to those heroes of the rivers and lakes." ”

Lin Wanwan's hand holding the wine glass paused slightly, and she couldn't help but be a little surprised in her heart, Su Jin has always had an excellent grasp of proportion, why would he let Luo Huaizhou know that he knew martial arts?

Just thinking about it, he heard Shi Manzi beside him ask in surprise: "Su Gongzi can also do martial arts?" ”

Lin Wanwan unconsciously looked at Su Jingqian, only to see that he was still the same lazy appearance, supporting his forehead with one hand, I don't know if he was sleepy or because he drank too much wine, his eyes were slightly closed, and he didn't even lift his eyelids when he heard others talking about him.

Seeing Shi Manzi's curious look, Luo Huaizhou seemed to be interested, picked up the folding fan on the case and showed it in a chic manner, and began to tell the story of his acquaintance with Su Jingqian back then.

He talked about how Su Jingqian single-handedly beat more than a dozen bandits who came to rob him in the mountains and forests, how he left in a dashing manner without leaving his name afterwards, and how they finally reunited unexpectedly in the Xuanji Building.

In short, in Luo Huaizhou's heart, this is a very legendary story of the rivers and lakes, and it is the rivers and lakes that he has always missed in his heart, so he has always been very envious of Su Jingqian's martial arts, and during that time, he ran to his Xuanji Tower almost all day long, wanting Su Jingqian to accept him as an apprentice. After going back and forth, the two gradually talked happily and found that they were very compatible. Over time, they became each other's best friends.

It can be seen that Luo Huaizhou's feelings for Su Jingqian have both admiration and friendship, Su Jingqian is completely different from those fox friends and dog friends on weekdays for him, he is the only friend he is willing to make heart, and he is a real confidant.

After a few more glasses of wine, Luo Huaizhou rubbed his forehead drunkenly, Shi Manzi's expression gradually became in a trance, she saw that Luo Huaizhou was happy, and she didn't want to lose her interest, so she drank a lot with him until she fell dizzy on the table.

"Hah...... Is this drunk? Belch...... The amount of alcohol is really ...... No......" Luo Huaizhou just finished laughing at Shi Manzi, and he also plopped down on the desk unconscious.

Su Jingqian slowly opened his eyes, and under his long eyelashes, a pair of deep pupils were like a bottomless pool of water, but he was not half drunk. He asked the butler to send them back to the courtyard of the island to rest, and called another attendant, who whispered something to him.

Although a faint flush had already appeared on Lin Wanwan's face, she didn't look drunk, but asked the attendant for a few small jars of osmanthus wine, and walked to the river bank alone.

When passing by Su Jingqian, he just glanced at him very lightly, and there seemed to be a lot of indescribable emotions in his somewhat different eyes, which made Su Jingqian's heart sink suddenly, and a trace of imperceptible gloom flashed at the bottom of his eyes, closed his eyes, and after explaining to the attendant, he followed her quietly.

Lin Wanwan found a flat grassland and sat by the river. She peeled off the cork of the wine jar, tilted her head and poured a sip of wine, pouring a bit of heroic momentum.

Su Jingqian walked up to her side, silently watched her pour mouthfuls and mouthfuls into herself, her thin lips moved slightly, she wanted to say something, but she didn't say a word after all. He raised his eyes to look at the bright moon in the sky, and slowly clenched the palm behind him into a fist.

After she peeled off the cork of the second jar of wine, he finally couldn't help it, snatched the jar from her hand, and said in a calm voice, "Don't drink it." ”

Lin Wanwan raised his eyes and glanced at him gently, that glance was a little cold, and it seemed to be mixed with a faint wisp of hatred, which made him feel a chill in his heart.

I saw her red lips bent, and she smiled sarcastically, "Why, I've been acting with you for so long, and I'm not allowed to take a sip of wine?" ”

He lowered his eyes and looked at her, his expression seemed to be a little darker, and there seemed to be a faint sadness between his frowning eyebrows, "If I say that everything I did today is from my heart, do you believe it?" ”

"Really? Ha ......" Lin Wanwan laughed to herself as if she had heard a very funny joke, until the smile gradually solidified on her lips, she suddenly raised her eyes, and looked at him with a cold gaze like ice, and a trace of contempt flashed in her eyes, "When did you Su Jin have this kind of thing?" ”

Su Jingqian's face sank instantly, his eyes were dyed with a layer of darkness, he looked at her coldly, as if he wanted to look into the depths of her heart, when he touched the undisguised disdain and disgust in her eyes, his eyes suddenly flickered a few times, and the wisps of ghostly light passed silently under his eyes, leaving only a shadow in the end.

He avoided her piercing gaze without a trace, and reminded coldly: "Lin Wanwan, enough is enough." ”

"What? Guilty? The corners of her lips were still raised, and the meaning of ridicule was not diminished in the slightest, "What did you bring me to see him for, don't you know it?" ”

He looked at the misty water in the night, and there seemed to be a layer of light smoke and mist floating in his eyes, which made people unpredictable the ethereal emotions under his eyes, only the long figure revealed an inexorable sense of loneliness under the moonlight.

After a while, I heard his voice coming slowly with the river breeze, "If I said that it was just to bring you to the island to put sky lanterns, you still don't believe it, right?" ”

"Su Jin, don't treat me as the ignorant girl seven years ago!" It seemed to touch the most fragile heartstrings in her heart, and her voice involuntarily raised a few points, and the cold timbre was intertwined with anger and hatred, just like the thousands of emotions that were surging out of her heart at this time, which was difficult to calm down.

Su Jingqian was slightly stunned, her words were like a stone thrown into his heart, causing ripples in his heart, and an extremely complex emotion wandered through his eyes, and for a while, he felt a dull feeling in his chest, as if a boulder was pressing on it, making him a little breathless.

He stood there in silence, his expression darkened, making it impossible to peek into the churning of his heart.

Lin Wanwan closed her eyes, trying her best to calm down the surging emotions in her heart, and when she opened her eyes again, her expression was almost calm, leaving only a lingering sadness in her heart. She looked up at the full moon in the sky, and the moonlight like water was reflected in her quiet eyes, with a faint touch of sadness.

She was silent for a long time before she slowly raised her head to look at him, and said quietly: "You brought me to see him because you were ready to do it, right?" ”

Su Jingqian lowered his eyes and looked at her, his eyes were heavy, and he couldn't see joy or anger. In her cold gaze, she suddenly chuckled, the corners of her lips hooked a playful arc, but her eyes did not have half a smile, which seemed extremely cold, making her heart even colder.

"I see, you know."
