You forgot. ”

"Oh! No, no, no." Pei Li remembered that it was the morning of the martial arts hall, when he helped the injured girl out of the carriage, he saw that she was holding the small bronze sword tightly in the palm of her hand, so he had the idea, and later told the girl when previewing the martial arts venue.

"That. It's not there yet. Where did you say that it was after the martial arts, but at that time, it was said that after my friend arrived. ”

"Uh-huh, okay." Of course, the girl remembered clearly, she just brought up the topic, and now that the goal was achieved, she turned her head and said, "Pei Li, I actually prepared a gift for you." ”

Pei Lixin pinched: "Ah? What? ”

"It's not done yet." The girl smiled, "You have to send me first, and then I'll give it to you." ”

“.” Pei Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

A drizzle of rain on the green leaves and stone tiles washed the whole world very quietly.

Li Yiqing's heart began to slowly lift, and she secretly and deeply inhaled.

"Pei, Pei."

"Huh?"

The girl's hands were still holding the small wooden plank that she had found out of nowhere, and she had done many easy and natural exercises for this moment, but as soon as the name was spoken, her body immediately tensed completely uncontrollably.

In the silence of these two ears, the girl read the lines she had prepared - she would never ask him if he was okay this time, "Do you think-"

The boy looked at her.

The moment she met these familiar eyes, the girl's brain entered a kind of light emptiness. The second half of the sentence was suddenly erased, and she couldn't find what she was going to say, and how to introduce the topic into the invitation in a clever and meandering way, and only that straightforward purpose was left in her mind.

"Well, let's go boating on the lake, shall we?"

After saying this, the emptiness completely enveloped her.

It's over, what is she talking about.

What she prepared was a natural laugh in the conversation, and she suddenly thought casually, "Why is it raining again, by the way, then there is 'Moon Lake Quiet Rain' to see tonight!" ”； It's a tap, a sigh of leisure, "Alas, I suddenly miss the smell of the cabin on the lake." ”； It can even be a coquettish and explicit squint smile, "Pei Li, I want to go boating with you today." ”

Then look at his bewildered eyes.

Anyway, it's definitely not a cold, dry sentence, "Let's go boating on the lake." ”

The girl's brain was confused, and she really felt that the important moment that she had been preparing for several days jumped out in such a hurry was a little unreal, and she really wanted to withdraw and start over for a while.

I didn't notice Pei Ye's somewhat stiff expression: "Ah, I have to go back to practice swords with Yang Yan"

"Stop practicing." The girl blurted out, and immediately her mind was confused. She wanted to make amends a little more naturally, but her mind went blank, and she only looked at the teenager fixedly, and repeated, "That. . . Stop practicing. ”

No, she should smile and repeat the words of the day she went to sing Danhui: "Eh, don't practice, you're already the best in the world!" ”

Momentarily stupid and sour, she bit her lip and looked at the boy with some thoughts about breaking the jar.

“.”

Pei Ye felt his body stiff like never before.

He knew what to say.

Just as the girl had prepared, he had actually practiced many times of natural refusal for this kind of moment last night.

Pei Li's mind has never fallen into such a moment, letting him deal with this kind of thing is like throwing a book of "Shangshu" in front of his dazed expression, just like the girl has a keen intuition, in the young man's heart, there has always been a perception that he doesn't know why - their relationship should not go in this direction.

Can't go in that direction.

Pei Ye tossed and turned last night, trying to hold down his chaotic thoughts, forcing himself to think about this matter for half a night, and finally came to a correct conclusion.

- Rejection must be the quicker and more decisive.

Because the result is there, you can't change it. It's not adhesion, binding, bonding, or anything else – it's the girl's wound itself. When this emotion arises, it is already blended with the growth of flesh and blood, and if you want to peel it off, you must have blood and skin.

Without a clever way to separate, he couldn't make the girl accept the result without sadness, and the "best of both worlds" could never exist in this kind of thing.

Therefore, hesitation will only make it grow deeper and deeper, and cutting the meat with a quick knife is the most correct way to be happy.

When he figured this out, the young man suddenly put the quilt over his head, and remained motionless in the cool night for a long time with his two big feet exposed.

So now, he knew what to do with the girl's invitation.

"I don't have time to go, and Li Yiqing doesn't want to go."

Just looked at her eyes calmly, watched her crimson cheeks turn white little by little, watched her bright eyes froze, and watched the soft budding touch the cold and hard ice. It ended so happily.

Just like the black cat said, "If you don't like it, just refuse it directly", Pei Li must admit that it does reveal the truth, and he should follow it.

But. That's not now.

It should be more later. He told her, "I'll talk about it tomorrow."

How can it suddenly appear here.

It came so much that he was caught off guard, and at this time he watched the girl's slowly dyed red cheeks, stupid words, and clenched white fingers. The accident also became an excuse for the teenager to back down.

"I-" Pei Li's words stuck in his throat.

The girl looked at him, her eyes fluttering like a hanging, she didn't know how obvious her worried expression was, anyway, her teeth were already clenched on the inside of her lower lip.

"That's it. Check it out. Pei Ye was deflated in front of this expression.

The gardenia bloomed unexpectedly, and the excitement of the explosion surged up from the bottom of her heart, and the girl tried to choke it, but the corners of her eyebrows, the tips of her eyes, the ends of her mouth, her fingers, and her toes. The joy still overflowed from the ends of the body.

The girl's smile really made Pei Li's tense heartstrings suddenly loosen, and a heartfelt smile was revealed in an instant, but he quickly reacted that this was drinking to quench his thirst, and his face faded again.

The girl didn't notice it at all, she had turned around briskly, and couldn't suppress her flying tone: "Then let's go!" The rain is going to stop in a moment! ”

“.”

Xianrentai is already very south, and further south is the flat Black Stone Street, which is dyed with rain at this time, and it is more like oil and mirror. From here, there is the southern shore of Lake Zhuyue, where there are docks and moorings that are as smooth as Bowang Garden.

The two walked on the side of the street, and when they got out of the range of the immortal platform, they entered the shop house with continuous eaves, Li Yiqing paused deliberately, and looked at the young man with his hands behind his back and delicately.

Pei Ye stopped silently and took the initiative to move out.

Li Yiqing immediately burst into a bright smile, jumped lightly on his legs, and jumped in.

The girl's demeanor and pace can be seen that she can't wait, and Shen Qi hasn't had time to tell her that she should be more reserved and natural in order to leave more room for herself.

But the girl may not be able to learn it if she listens to it, it is accompanied by the sword since childhood, and the bright character cultivated in the force and sweat, even if the first entanglement of love, the girl's feelings are also clearly revealed, and unguardedly revealed to the young man in his eyes.

"What did you just talk about?" The girl turned her head and smiled.

"I didn't talk anything, so I asked Miss Shi some questions. Something about Yang Yan. Pei Ye suddenly began to feel timid.

Thinking of where he was about to arrive, of what was going to happen, the flames of panic ignited in his heart, burning his lips a little. The regret for the agreement had already begun to swell up, bringing irritability—he had never felt so soft-hearted.

"I mean the assembly." Li Yiqing turned his head to look at him and squinted, "You always think about what other Shi girls are doing." ”

"Huh? Oh! It is. Chatted about the case. ”

"Hmm" Li Yiqing stepped on the rain with a "snap", and his eyes rolled to throw out the next topic, "Pei Li, how about your new sword?" ”

"It's okay, it's good."

The girl said seriously: "Pei Li, I think it is a bit of a copy of the Lost Jade Sword." ”

His eyes sparkled as he waited for the boy to stare at and retort.

Pei Ye looked ahead, the end of Blackstone Street could be seen, and from that fork in the road, it was the shore of Catching Moon Lake, and that kind of panic pressed another step towards his heart.

He tightened his dry throat: "yes, no. Where? ”

Both swords are very light, and your one is still called 'Mountain Feather', and Mountain Feather is not a bird." Li Yiqing's tone was also lower.

"Mine is heavier."

"Not much heavier."

"Oh."

“.”

Without your back-and-forth bickering, this is such a boring conversation, a very silly topic.

Li Yiqing began to notice the weirdness and depression of the atmosphere, but she attributed this to her own problem, a little angry that she was stupid and couldn't find beautiful topics.

Obviously, they could have a good chat before.

"Forget it, I'll tell you." Li Yiqing said a little lowly, "This sword was actually picked by me when I went to the state yawu arsenal to help you, and it is very suitable for the Jade Fei Sword." ”

"Huh?" Pei Ye felt his heart rush violently, burning him a little to escape, "Thank you." ”

"Thank you for what?" Li Yiqing frowned, and raised her bright eyes again, "Don't you feel it?" ”

"I've been learning Avalanche lately, and I haven't tried it yet."

"Oh."

“.”

Silence again.

Li Yiqing's mood really drooped a little, and he didn't say a word of the jokes and witticisms he was prepared for, but he felt like a stupid fool on this road.

But as soon as the smoke willows in front of me turned, the dark stone road in front of me finally came to an end, and the open lake unfolded in the field of vision.

The cool mist was refreshing, the lake was raining, and the boat was tied to the embankment.

So the girl's mood immediately improved again - if you don't play well, you don't play well, this is the next link!

Just as she had made an appointment with the boat in advance, those topics were carefully cut and controlled by the girl.

She didn't ask the boy about the past and the family as she did that day, because this part of the road was for small talk, and she was reluctant to throw out the important parts that went deeper, and left them on the boat.

Thinking of a moment's chat, she walked half a beat faster, and turned to the gravel road heading to the lake.

Pei Ye could barely move.

The boat that would be big enough for the two of them appeared in the field of vision, and the beautiful scenery and the girl's brisk back were in one place, and it seemed like another world in his eyes.

He heard his own heartbeat, panic was completely suppressed, and Pei Li felt like a liar who was about to be exposed.

"Hurry up!" The girl smiled and looked back, "Why are you so abrasive?" ”

The smile burned him so hard that he didn't dare to look at it, and he looked stiffly at the boat, only to realize that he still hadn't stopped when he saw it getting closer.

Gotta stop, Pei Li. The deeper you go, the more you hurt her.

But to stop, to meet the girl's blank eyes and ask him how he would answer her?

The prepared words were now all crumpled into a mess, and Pei Ye felt like a waste for the first time, and in such a chaotic state of mind, the water by the lake soaked his toes, and he had stopped at the side of the boat.

Li Yiqing jumped into the boat, held the oar, and turned to look at him. Then he suddenly hesitated and stretched out a white hand to him.

The girl tried hard to make this behavior seem natural, but the unnatural dodging eyes had betrayed her, and she stood on the bow of the boat, her face was scarlet, and her head was slightly lowered, and this moment was enough to make Anzhi Tinglan lose all her color.

Only the slender white and slender hand stretched out to him, like a moist and fragile white flower in the cold wind and rain, it was indeed a little trembling.

This inviting flower is like a handful of dry wood.

The panic burned through Pei Ye's psychological defense in an instant, he remained motionless, and whispered: "Don't go, Ethereal Qing." ”

Barely opened his lips at this sentence, Li Yiqing obviously didn't hear it clearly, and was dazed: "What? ”

The rain in the lake became as quiet as the cool mist, and the smoky willows stood still.

"Don't go, Ethereal." He repeated with his head down, not daring to look at her.

Li Yiqing was stunned.

"Why?"

Even the sound of the waves was muffled, and the surroundings seemed to be heard as if needles had fallen.

Because I don't want to go.

Because I shouldn't have gone and I know why you sent this invitation. So I can't go.

Say that, Pei Li.

But even if Pei Ye stared straight at the ground, he felt the fragile heartbeat of the girl in front of him and the breathing that was slowly and clearly visible because of his silence.

The way she looked at him was as young as she could imagine.

I suddenly remembered that Yang Yan had asked me to go back to practice swords, and he was quite anxious about that matter." Pei Li didn't know what he was talking about, "So let's do it next time. Next time anyway, the boat will not row and there will be nothing. I think."

His voice grew lower and lower until he was finally inaudible.

“.”

Be quiet.

The chaotic heartbeat and breathing in front of him disappeared.

Pei Lixin's heart crumpled into a ball.

Deceptive.

Li Yiqing looked at the restless young man in front of him in a daze, his tense body stiff like a dead wood.

When she was knocked out of her own world by this unexpected sentence, she saw the true state of the teenager for the first time.

The girl's heart seemed to be poured with a basin of cold ice water, and it fell straight down.

It dawned on her that this wasn't the first time she'd seen it.

She was already familiar with the feeling of being suddenly avoided and rejected by this kind of softness and enthusiasm in her heart.

On the rainy Moon Street, the shadows of the two people were pasted together, she blushed and bowed her head at once, but she still held the topic and begged him coquettishly, but what she was facing was a back and a hasty sentence, "Let's go".

On the way out of the ring, they talked and laughed and played, but after she suddenly felt inexplicably aggrieved and asked "Can't you let me?" in a sullen manner, the boy suddenly stiffened from a nimble bird into a piece of wood, and almost fled away from her.

And after sending off Feng Huai and his party, and when they met at noon, there was . This part of the road just now.

It's not his first time. Hide from yourself.

Before he realized that he liked him, he was already rejecting himself.

This discovery made the girl feel cold for a moment, and her brain fell into a dazed emptiness again.

Now, the teenager's clumsy excuse is in front of her, but she doesn't have the courage to expose the lie.

"No, it's not that urgent," she muttered incoherently, "we. . . Just paddling for a while. Half an hour is very fast."

Pei Ye's dying head trembled: "It's quite urgent." ”

Be quiet.

"Oh." She snorted softly.

Pei Li fled and turned away.

Woo woo woo Xiao Li.

There is an assignment that needs to be rushed tomorrow, and it may be late, so let's announce it for the time being
