Chapter 24: Expressing Intentions (2)
"This bracelet was made by a rising goddess from a piece of the finest jade, and it was also infused with a trapped magic circle, which can trap the enemy in the magic circle and get out in a critical moment, hence the name Linglong Ring. Although it is made of jade, it is extremely tough, and it fluctuates with the movement between wearing, and the sound is very pleasant. ”
"I didn't expect this bracelet to have a big background, so I can't accept it!" Yeli said resolutely, "I appreciate your kindness, but you can take back this gift!" ”
"Actually, there is another name for this exquisite ring...... "Mei Lanyue's eyes suddenly looked gentle, but there was a hint of caution at the night glass an arm's length away.
Seeing the concentration and gentleness that suddenly appeared in the pair of bright and peaceful black eyes on weekdays, Yeli moved a little uncomfortably, "Really, yes?" Another name? What is it called? ”
"Concentric rings!" Mei Lanyue's starry black eyes looked at Yeli fixedly, as if she wanted to imprison her in it.
Seeing Mei Lanyue's eyes and the three words of concentric rings, Yeli's heart seemed to be slammed into it, and an inexplicable throbbing quietly rose, and she was a little at a loss for a while, and her eyes were also a little helpless, "Is it...... Hehe...... Nice to hear......"
"Eleven," Mei Lanyue didn't allow her to dodge, and her big slender hand grabbed her petite and white slender jade hand, "Eleven, I'...... I would like to give you this concentric ring! ”
The sudden extra warm touch on his hand made Yeli's face turn red all of a sudden, and she was busy withdrawing her hand, but she didn't want to be held tighter, "No, no, no, I ...... it"
Before Yeli could say anything if she refused, Mei Lanyue directly interrupted her, "Eleven, I like you!" ”
What?! Yeli's eyes widened suddenly, and her mind was like a thunderbolt, and she didn't know what to say......
What did she hear??? He said he liked her?! He likes her?! Is she being confessed?!
"What do you mean...... You like me? Yeli asked incredulously.
"Yes!" Although Mei Lanyue's handsome face was already covered with redness, he still nodded firmly.
Seeing that the man who is always light and breezy on weekdays is flushed like a young man who has just fallen in love, his face is flushed at this time, and his expression is obviously very nervous but he still pretends to be calm and purses his lips tightly, and the beating heart of Yeli suddenly eases down.
In the original world, she was already an adult in her twenties, whether it was when she was in college or later at work, she was confessed, although she only accepted it once in college, but it was not the first time she was confessed, and after the initial flustery, her reason gradually returned.
"Do you really like me?" Yeli asked in disbelief, no wonder she didn't believe it, it was really whether it was their status or appearance, they were all one in the sky and one on the ground, of course she was the one who looked up on the ground.
"Yes!" Although Mei Lanyue's answer was simple and concise, the seriousness and sincerity in her eyes still moved Yeli.
"Why? Why do you like me? Yeli asked curiously, although they have known each other for more than a year, compared to Mei Lanyue's advanced age of more than two hundred years, a year is just a flick of his fingers in his life!
However, what Yeli didn't know was that this year was the most relaxed and happy day in the long years of Meilan Moon. Since he was born, he has taken on the responsibility of the entire Wuji Sect, and he began to cultivate every day at the age of three. His father was very strict with him, not allowing him to be the slightest neglect, although his mother was distressed but helpless, she could only take care of him more in food, clothing, housing and transportation, although she was tired at that time, her life was simple and happy.
But he didn't want such a day to be just a hundred years, his parents both fell due to the war, and since then he has been left alone on this lonely Gathering Spirit Peak, in order to have enough ability to govern the Wuji Sect, he can only cultivate harder, only if he is strong enough to be convincing!
Over the years, in addition to dealing with official business, he has been cultivating all the time, and such mechanical days have long become his habit, and he didn't feel anything wrong, but it wasn't until he met Xiao Eleven on Ziyun Peak.
At first, he took care of her for Feng Qingjue's face, but later learned that she became an orphan at a young age, and sympathized with her for the same situation as herself, and then she was attracted by her sincere and lively temperament.
It was the first time in so many years that he had met someone who treated him only as Mei Lanyue, not a high-ranking sect master, nor a profound cultivator, just Mei Lanyue......
In her eyes, he was just a friend named Ah Yue, in front of her, he could disguise himself without being so rigorous and majestic, and he didn't have to weigh the pros and cons hard......
"As for why, I can't tell......" Mei Lanyue tried hard to organize her language, trying to make herself express more clearly, "I just know that when I see you, I will be happy in my heart, and when I can't see you, I will be very worried, I ......"
Looking at the handsome face covered with flush and nervous hands, Yeli smiled unkindly and asked again, "Then when did you find out that you liked me?" ”
Hearing this, Mei Lanyue swallowed her saliva nervously, thought seriously for a moment, and then said slowly, "A year ago, when that bowl of longevity noodles was ......?"
"A year ago?!" Yeli's mouth opened wide in surprise, so this guy has been thinking about himself for so long?!
"Yes!" At that time, he felt the cherishment of others for the first time, and his heart, which had been cold for a long time, had a trace of warmth, and although he did not know his own intentions at that time, he knew very well that the little girl in front of him with flour on her face was different from her.
"Then why didn't you say it a year ago? I confessed it now...... Well, no, I mean why are you only showing your mind now? ”
Mei Lanyue pursed her lips a little helplessly, and said slowly with a red face, "At that time, although I knew that you were special to me, I really didn't expect that I would have such thoughts about you. ”
"And how did you know for sure today?" Yeli was curious.
Mei Lanyue thought for a while, and then said in a low voice, "Today, I saw that you were injured······" Saying that he unconsciously wanted to caress Yeli's injured left arm, but he was afraid of hurting her, so he hesitantly withdrew his hand, "The moment I saw you injured, I felt my heartbeat suddenly stop, and at that moment I almost rushed up desperately, thinking······ I want to hurt the people who hurt you······" He didn't say anything more.
"Whether the disciples of Wuji Sect are competing in the door or going out to practice, it is a trivial matter to be injured, and even losing their lives is a common thing, I have seen too many of these, but you are different, seeing you injured, I can't bear it, my heart is very uncomfortable!" At this time, although Mei Lanyue's tone was low and steady, at that moment, thousands of emotions gathered in her heart, but it was extremely chaotic! It wasn't until he saw that Eleven's injuries were not very serious that he quietly left and came to the Wuji Sect.
He had been sitting here for a long time, long enough for him to sort out his thoughts, enough to know his own mind, and before he knew it, she had taken root in his heart, and after the initial shock, he felt so taken for granted.
"Eleven, after your eighteen-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, marry me, okay?"
Yeli was still beating faster because of Mei Lanyue's sudden confession, and she didn't know what to do, but she was even screamed by this last sentence, "You want to marry me?!" ”
Gao Yang's voice made Mei Lanyue a little confused, but she still nodded honestly, "Yes, I like you and want to marry you, you...... Would you like to? ”
"I'm ......" Yeli I still can't think of what to say for a long time, for an excellent man like Mei Lanyue, I'm afraid there is no girl who doesn't like it, of course she also has a good impression of him, but she knows the gap between the two too well, her cultivation is not high, although she is good, but there are many people in Wuji Sect who are better looking than her, and she is still an orphan, carefully calculated, she is really not worthy of such a proud son of the sky as Mei Lanyue, so after the initial heartbeat, she put a stop to this thought between men and women, I got along with them as an ordinary friend with peace of mind. The only advantage of her since she was a child is that she is sensible enough and will not be emotional and do some impulsive things, but more importantly, she will go home in the future!
"I don't want to!" After the thoughts flowed, Yeli finally spoke firmly.
"Why?" Mei Lanyue suddenly tightened Yeli's hand and asked with a frown.
Yeli was caught off guard and almost fell off the tree, but fortunately, she grabbed the branch on her side in time, and then stabilized her body.
Seeing this, Mei Lanyue relaxed her hand apologetically, but in the end she was still reluctant to let go completely, and continued to ask without giving up, "Why don't you want to marry me?" What is wrong with me? ”
Yeli helplessly held her forehead and sighed, "It's not that you're bad, you're good!" It's just that...... It's just that someone asks to marry as soon as they come up?! Although we have known each other for a short time, in the end, you only showed your heart to me today, and I haven't reacted yet, so you have to let me make a decision, isn't it too hasty?! ”
"I didn't mean that!" Mei Lanyue was a little eager to explain, "I'm just ...... I just want to tell you that I really like you, and I am willing to treat each other as a wife in this life, and I will never lose each other! ”
Does he mean that falling in love without the purpose of marriage is a hooligan? The corners of Yeli's mouth twitched, looking at the man opposite who was obviously very clear and elegant in the past, but at this time, he confessed to her like a cramped, uneasy, shy and nervous stunned young man, she was a little skeptical that this person was confessing to a girl for the first time? But when I think about it, I feel that I am self-inflicted, after all, she is already an old goblin who is more than two hundred years old, where can she only be attracted to her alone in such a long life?
It's just that she has always been too rational, love is not a necessity for her, it is not as strong as the blood bond in family affection, and it cannot be as free and easy as friendship.
In addition, she only came to this world temporarily to complete the task and get a reward, so she has no intention of staying. Mei Lanyue has always been very good to her and has helped her a lot, she can't accept his feelings just because she is moved, this is unfair to him.
Straightening out her thoughts, Yeli habitually pursed her lips and smiled, and her eyes unconsciously brought a sense of alienation, "Thank you for liking, but I don't have the same feelings for you, so I'm sorry." ”
