With a 'click' sound, the admission invitation fell from Zhongli Wuyuan's arms to the ground.
Nangong Qingqing remained silent.
Seeing this, Zhongli Wuyuan eagerly said to Nangong Qingqing: "Qingqing, I won't go. I will have someone return this invitation to Senior Sister Chen."
"Yeah." Nangong Qingqing said calmly.
Just when Nangong Qingqing was about to take steps to leave, Zhongli Wuyuan reached out and grabbed his wrist. Nangong Qingqing looked back at him with a calm look in his eyes.
Zhongli Wuyuan looked deeply into her eyes.
The two were in a stalemate for a moment.
But he couldn't say a word.
After Nangong Qingqing raised his hand and pushed his hand away, Zhongli Wuyuan's face turned a little gloomy, an indescribable emotion flashed across his eyes, and he asked: "Nangong Qingqing, do you really not know my feelings? "
Nangong Qingqing was silent and shook her head.
Even if she knew, she still couldn't be sure whether the other person would always like her. She was insecure and didn't want to get involved in a relationship easily.
She avoided his gaze and walked away.
Only Zhongli Wuyuan was left in place.
Zhongli Wuyuan's expression was slightly stagnant, staring deeply at her back as she left. He didn't understand why she suddenly alienated him. Even if someone pursued him, he didn't agree, right?
At this time, Zhongli Wuyuan had no idea what kind of trauma Nangong Qingqing had experienced as a child.
His heart felt a little cold.
It was the first time in his life that he pursued a woman, but before he could fully express his feelings, he was already alienated by the woman he liked.
Zhongli Wuyuan froze in place for a while, then he picked up the invitation to the auction.
…
Soon, the second day came.
It was the holiday for the disciples of Nanmu Sect. Many disciples went out one after another, including Nangong Junze and others.
However, Nangong Qingqing refused the invitation from Nangong Junze and his two roommates to go out and chose to stay in the dormitory yard.
Nangong Qingqing was meditating on the futon.
But she couldn't concentrate on practicing, because as soon as she closed her eyes, she saw the scene of Senior Sister Chen Danxue inviting Zhongli Wuyuan yesterday, and her heart was already in chaos.
Although she hinted that she didn't care, the emotions surging inside gave her the truest answer.
She cares about Zhongli Wuyuan.
I don't want him to be with anyone else.
However, what qualifications does she have to make him lose the opportunity to be pursued by others?
Nangong Qingqing has low self-esteem in her heart. If she hadn't met Zheng Zheng and the others, she would not have revealed her true thoughts bit by bit. But now, she seems to have returned to the original state of closed heart.
Nangong Qingqing lowered her eyes, her eyes were already red, but she couldn't cry.
She took out the communication crystal from the storage space and wanted to send a message to Zheng Zheng.
She conveyed in a gentle tone: "Zhengzheng, I miss you so much. I really look forward to the day when we meet again."
Yunzheng on the other side quickly responded to the message.
Yunzheng's coquettish tone came: "Beauty Qingqing, I miss you so much. Are you comfortable living in Nanmumen? Has anyone bullied you? Has Zhongli Wuyuan protected you? Also, we Everything is fine here, you don’t have to worry about us.”
Listening to Yunzheng's words, Nangong Qingqing's mood improved inexplicably.
Just when she was about to reply, there was a knock on the courtyard gate.
Nangong Qingqing temporarily put away the communication crystal, then stood up, walked behind the courtyard door with vigilance, and then asked through the door: "Who is it?"
"I."
It was Zhongli Wuyuan's voice.
Nangong Qingqing was slightly stunned, thinking to himself, shouldn't he go to the appointment?
She hesitated for a moment and then opened the courtyard door.
The two of them looked at each other with an indescribable and subtle atmosphere.
He stood with his hands behind his back, wearing a blue robe, with an extraordinary handsome appearance, and a gentle look lingering between his eyebrows. He stared at her with a smile.
"Can you come in and sit for a while?"
Nangong Qingqing came back to her senses and nodded.
Then she turned sideways, ready to let him go in first, when suddenly a faint fragrance of flowers hit her. Then, a bouquet of flowers was stuffed into her arms, and she subconsciously picked it up with her hands.
It's a bouquet of white lilies.
Nangong Qingqing was slightly surprised. She raised her eyes and looked at Zhongli Wuyuan.
Zhongli Wuyuan's handsome face turned red: "This is for you."
Nangong Qingqing held the bouquet in her arms and pursed her lips. It seemed that she was thinking a lot at this moment. When she wanted to return the bouquet of lilies to Zhongli Wuyuan, she heard him say: "Qingqing."
Nangong Qingqing's hand paused slightly.
He raised his hand and pushed the bouquet into her arms little by little: "I like you, and I am willing to break through all the difficulties to come to you. I just hope you can give me a chance. I don't understand what you are going to do these days. Alienate yourself from me, but I know that it will be difficult for you to tell me. I know that if I miss the best opportunity to express my feelings to you, it will definitely leave us with a lot of regrets."
"Qingqing, I like you, and I want to be a Taoist couple with you. This is what I want in my heart. No matter how many setbacks and difficulties we encounter in the future, I will always be by your side."
"Of course, you don't have to like me, or you can reject me. In this case, I won't intrude too much into your life."
He spoke measuredly.
Zhongli Wuyuan looked down at her, feeling very nervous inside.
Nangong Qingqing's fingers slightly tightened the bouquet in her arms, feeling an indescribable feeling in her heart. She raised her eyes and looked directly at him: "Why do you like me? Is there anything about me that deserves your liking?"
Zhongli Wuyuan said: "I like your calmness when facing difficulties. I like your gentleness behind your back. You may seem cold on the outside, but you are very soft on the inside. You have so many advantages. You are so many. Sometimes I only care about everyone, but ignore my own feelings..."
"Qingqing, you are the unattainable moon. You are cool and lonely, you are proud but introverted, you are cold but gentle. The light of the moon is very bright, which allows me to see you clearly. You are good but cannot be perfect. That is exactly the case. I like you very much."
When Nangong Qingqing heard what he said, her heart shook violently. The waves in her heart were an explosion of emotions.
She choked up and asked, "Will you always like me?"
"meeting."
he replied firmly.
Nangong Qingqing's eyes were moist, but she smiled.
"Then give it a try," she said, summoning up all her courage and hoping the result wouldn't disappoint her.
When Zhongli Wuyuan heard this, his heartbeat suddenly beat like a drum. Excitement and excitement surged into his heart. There was a smile on his face that could not be concealed. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand to hug Nangong Qingqing.
The two of them were very close, not just in terms of position, but also in terms of heart.
Nangong Qingqing's cheeks suddenly turned red.
She was shy inside and whispered: "It's not good to be seen by others."
"Yes." Zhongli Wuyuan responded softly. The next moment, he hugged her sideways and closed the courtyard door completely with his feet.
