Chapter 34: The Return
As a gentleman,
Xu Lan didn't hide it, just looked at Chen Ci so blatantly.
And for Xu Lan's such undisguised eyes,
At first, the statement was still a little uncomfortable,
But after thinking about it, Xu Lan wouldn't do anything to himself, so he simply let him go.
"Actually, I don't like readers, I always think that readers are too hypocritical."
Chen Ci chewed the roast duck in his hand, glanced at Xu Lan and said, "But you are different from them." β
As a person from the Hanging Mirror Division, she has handled many cases and seen many scholars.
But all the people I have seen are negative or selfish.
Only Xu Lan gave her a different feeling,
There is no hypocrisy like a scholar at all, and it is even so real that it makes her suspect that Xu Lan is not a scholar at all.
"Whether a person is hypocritical or not has nothing to do with what kind of identity he is."
Xu Lan unscrewed the flask and poured a large sip of spirits, and his body suddenly warmed up a lot.
"Give."
Xu Lan handed the wine jug in his hand to Chen Ci and said with a smile: "Drink some, it will warm your body a lot." β
"Thank you."
Chen Ci hesitated for a moment, but finally took it and raised his head to drink.
"This wine is made from pure grains, and it has a lot of stamina."
When Xu Lan saw Chen Ci's drinking posture, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly,
This is drinking, it is clearly drinking water.
"That's it?"
Half a pot of spirits under the stomach of Chen Ci's face was slightly red,
"Not enough!"
Hearing this, Xu Lan could only silently extend his thumb, so let's pretend that he didn't say it.
"By the way, tomorrow whether..."
Xu Lan was about to continue to say something, but the next moment there was a slight snoring sound.
β?β
Xu Lan raised his head suspiciously,
But I saw the whole body crooked to the side and fell asleep, looking very naΓ―ve.
Xu Lan: ......
"You..."
Xu Lan couldn't help laughing directly, he still thought that Chen Ci could drink it, but that's it?
"You also have a big heart..."
Xu Lan shook his head with a smile, got up and walked to Chen Ci's side, wanting to put on her the drying coat.
But she didn't expect that when she touched Chen Ci's body, she hugged her arm.
Xu Lan was slightly stunned, and then wanted to pull out his arm.
But Chen Ci hugged him and refused to let go at all.
"Is this using me as a pillow?"
Seeing this, Xu Lan had no choice but to sit next to him,
As a result, I didn't expect Chen Ci to really use Xu Lan as a pillow.
Holding his arms tightly, he didn't forget to adjust his sleeping position and pillowed his head on Xu Lan's lap.
All of a sudden,
Xu Lan couldn't tell whether this was really drunk or fake drunk.
"That's it, whatever you want."
Xu Lan glanced down at Chen Ci, and there were no distracting thoughts in his heart.
He slowly closed his eyes and began to operate the Great Sun Breathing Method, and the blood and qi in his body were surging in the True Qi Circle, like a furnace.
At this time, Chen Ci was as if he felt something warmer, and his little head drilled into Xu Lan's arms.
Until dawn breaks in the morning,
When the first rays of sunlight hit the two of them, Chen Ci's eyelashes moved slightly.
"It's pretty warm."
Although Chen Ci had woken up, he didn't open his eyes but moved his body slightly, feeling that today's pillow seemed to be very comfortable.
"Huh?"
The next moment, Chen Ci opened his eyes suddenly, no, didn't he go out of the city with Xu Lan?
What caught her eye was a white robe, and it wasn't until this time that she realized why she was lying on Xu Lan's body?
This head is about to get into Xu Lan's clothes.
"Awake?"
Chen Ci's actions naturally couldn't hide from Xu Lan, he slowly opened his eyes and smiled: "It's time to get up." β
"How do I..."
Chen Ci blushed and struggled to sit up from Xu Lan's arms, and when he glanced at the coat covering his body, he suddenly understood in his heart.
"If you can't drink, don't drink it."
Xu Lan smiled: "Thanks to me being a decent gentleman, otherwise this would..."
After a slight pause, he didn't continue, after all, everyone is an adult, and everyone who understands understands it.
"This wine is too pure."
Chen Ci blushed and defended: "Usually I can drink a lot, a lot. β
Afraid that Xu Lan would not believe it, Chen Ci raised his hands and drew a circle, indicating that he could really drink a lot.
"Yes, yes, you can drink."
Xu Lan didn't expose her little caution, and said, "Put on your clothes, and get ready to go back to Qingzhou." β
"Oh."
Chen Ci lowered his head and put on his coat with a red face, and Xu Lan held his chin and looked at it with interest.
"What are you looking at?"
Chen Ci tilted his head slightly,
She couldn't stand Xu Lan's naked gaze,
The most important thing is that Xu Lan's eyes are very clear and there are no distracting thoughts.
"No one resists something beautiful."
Xu Lan said seriously: "Is it wrong to appreciate beautiful things?" β
Speech: ......
Chen Ci blushed and said angrily: "Aren't the two maids in the family enough for you to see?" β
"I'm a gentleman, thank you."
Xu Lan denied: "I'm not that kind of person. β
"But aren't you just watching now?"
I don't know why, Chen Ci suddenly became interested and wanted to explain to Xu Lan.
"You don't want to?"
Xu Lan said with a righteous face: "Then I won't look at it." β
"You..."
Chen Ci said with a little cry and laughter: "I've let you watch it all night!" β
Only then did she remember, how could she argue with a scholar?
"What then?"
Hearing this, Xu Lan pretended to ponder and said: "I am a person with a good understanding, and you don't know it, and you can remember what you have seen at a glance." β
"Crooked."
Chen Ci blushed and fastened the buttons, patted the dust on his clothes and said, "The master is not wrong, there are too many crooked reasons for scholars." β
"Prejudice."
Xu Lan smiled and said, "If I have a chance, I will have a good argument with your master." β
"Justification?"
Chen Ci chuckled, "If I let her know that you took advantage of me, she will draw her sword and kill you." β
"Eh, what realm is your master?"
"Six Realms Sword Cultivation."
"It's okay, wait until I have the Seven Realms, and then let your master know what it means to "convince people with reason". β
"If you can have the cultivation of the Seven Realms, no one in the entire Great Chu Dynasty will dare to stop you."
β¦β¦.
There are clichΓ©s along the way, and the return journey is not boring, but it has a bit of a sense of traveling with a companion for fun.
It was noon when the two returned to Qingzhou.
Later, when Xu Lan appeared in Xu's mansion, he naturally couldn't help Yan Yu's nagging.
finally coaxed Yan Yu away, and Xu Lan breathed a sigh of relief.
Women, you have to coax, there is nothing wrong with this truth.
"Come with me to the Sun Mansion for a banquet in the evening?"
Xu Lan turned to Chen Ci and asked,
He wasn't worried about what Sun Hongying would do to him, but he was more curious about Sun Hongying.
If Chen Ci goes with him, he may be able to discover something.
