At this moment, Xiao Qingyue was very excited.
She didn't expect Xue Mu to come.
She glanced at herself in the bronze mirror.
After dressing up, I immediately went out and waited.
At this time, Xiaodie had already brought Xue Mu over.
Xiaodie said excitedly: "Mr. Xue, you are finally here."
Xue Mu asked curiously: "What's wrong?"
"You don't know, our lady has been waiting for you until the flowers are about to wither." Xiaodie began to tease her.
When Xiao Qingyue heard this, she immediately said angrily: "What did Xiaodie say? Hurry and pour tea for Mr. Xue."
"Yes, yes, yes." Xiaodie stuck out her tongue and left in a strange manner.
After she left, Xue Mu held up his hands and said, "Miss Xiao, something happened in the palace recently, so I have been busy and no one comes to the house."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Xiao Qingyue shook her head quickly: "Qingyue knows that Mr. Xue is busy, so naturally she doesn't dare to disturb him."
"Xue Mu is very ashamed that Miss Xiao can be so considerate." Xue Mu said a few official words on the surface.
Xiao Qingyue looked at him. Although she hadn't seen him for a few days, her heart was already ups and downs.
Looking at him, Xiao Qingyue even felt her heartbeat speed up.
Then she asked in a low voice: "Mr. Xue, can you please stop calling me Miss Xiao from now on? Didn't we agree before to call me Qingyue?"
Xue Mu suddenly realized: "I'm sorry, Qingyue, I forgot about it for a while."
"It's okay, I just think that if Mr. Xue can call me Qingyue, it will prove that we are friends with each other."
"It's natural. If you are Ruyan's friend, then you are naturally my friend." Xue Mu said with a smile.
Hearing Xue Mu mention Xu Ruyan, Xiao Qingyue gradually felt sad.
Yes.
Xu Ruyan is her good sister.
It was also because of her that I got to know Xue Mu.
But now, Xiao Qingyue seems to be more and more sure that she has fallen in love with the man in front of her.
But the relationship between Xu Ruyan and her did not allow her to express it bravely.
This is why she is getting more and more troubled these days.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Xue Mu changed the subject and said, "Qingyue, have you read "A Dream of Red Mansions" recently?"
"Yes." Xiao Qingyue nodded, then took the latest two episodes from the table and said, "These are the latest two episodes. Have you watched Mr. Xue?"
"I asked Ruyan to read it to me." Xue Mu said with a smile.
Of course he knew the story.
Because wasn't he the one who wrote "Dream of Red Mansions"?
When Xiao Qingyue said this, she put the book in her arms and said with obvious emotion: "In the latest episode, Daiyu and Baoyu were chatting in the back garden. It felt so good to be with each other."
Xue Mu replied: "Don't worry, Qingyue will be able to find her husband in the future, and then she will be able to spend time together and enjoy the beautiful scenery in the world."
Xiao Qingyue looked at him and asked, "Is it okay?"
"sure."
Xue Mu explained: "Everyone is qualified to love and be loved."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qingyue felt as if an arrow had stabbed her in the heart.
Her heart was shaken.
At the same time, Xiaodie walked in with a tea set.
"Come, Mr. Xue, have a cup of tea."
Xiaodie just picked up the cup and was about to hand it to Xue Mu.
Xiao Qingyue took a step forward and took the cup from Xiaodie's hand.
Xiaodie was stunned for a moment, then she understood something, and she reminded: "Miss, come and get Mr. Xue a drink."
After hearing this, Xue Mu immediately stepped forward and signaled: "Qingyue, I can do it myself."
He slowly stretched out his hand, testing the distance between him and Qingyue.
Xiao Qingyue put the cup in Xue Mu's hand.
At the same time, their fingers touched lightly.
The moment they passed by was enough to cause Xiao Qingyue to stir up ripples in her heart.
Xiaodie is naturally smart. She saw Xiao Qingyue looking like a nymphomaniac, so she took the initiative and said: "Miss, I will be guarding outside. If you need anything, call me."
"Okay, let's go." Xiao Qingyue was eager for Xiaodie to leave, so that they would be the only ones left in the room.
Xiaodie closed the door and snickered.
Xue Mu and Xiao Qingyue were the only ones left in the room.
Xue Mu asked: "Miss Qingyue, what do you want to learn today?"
Xiao Qingyue thought for a while and then asked: "Master, I want to ask you a question."
"Okay, you ask."
"What is love?"
When Xiao Qingyue said this, Xue Mu was a little surprised.
He even asked: "What is love?"
"Yes."
Only then did Xue Mu realize that perhaps Xiao Qingyue had not touched these feelings between men and women since she was a child.
So I've always been curious about this kind of thing.
Naturally, the question of what is love also arises.
So Xue Mu thought about it and gave an interesting answer: "Love is, I remember your smile for many days, and your words for many years."
Xiao Qingyue originally thought that Xue Mu would make a long speech, but she didn't expect that it was just this sentence.
And this sentence is also very consistent with what I have in mind.
"Then how can love arise?" Xiao Qinyue asked again.
Obviously, Xue Mu's words just now made her bolder.
Xue Mu continued: "It's like being alone in a room, but always thinking about the other person. When you see him, you can't help but look at him twice. Even though there's nothing wrong, you feel like you can't calm down. Every time I see something good-looking, delicious, or fun, the first thing I think of is the other person’s face.”
"After getting to know each other, the time we met and the time we didn't meet are all put together and thought about again and again."
“Once it accumulates to a certain level, it’s love.”
After Xue Mu finished speaking, he originally planned to ask Xiao Qingyue about his views on love.
But unexpectedly, Xiao Qingyue was stunned.
It's like thinking back.
As if reminiscing.
Thinking over and over what Xue Mu just said.
And Xue Mu also smiled and said: "What I said may not be correct. Everyone has a different experience of love."
"No."
At this time, Xiao Qingyue spoke, and she looked at Xue Mu seriously.
Think back to what she just said.
Finally, he said: "What Mr. Xue just said makes sense to me. When Mr. Xue didn't come, I always sat by the window alone. Thinking of our past, every time I listened to what you said, I would always I was fascinated without realizing it.”
"At first I always felt that if Ruyan liked you, it would be impossible for me to express my feelings."
"But those words you just said made me understand that you have to say it when you like someone, otherwise, sooner or later, you will suffocate to death."
This is the end of this long paragraph.
Xue Mu was surprised.
He never expected that Xiao Qingyue would suddenly say these words of confession after he finished speaking.
He originally planned to change the topic to try to ease the embarrassment.
But Xiao Qingyue continued: "Mr. Xue, you don't have to mind. I just think that in life, you should not leave any regrets to yourself. I like you, but you don't have to feel wronged to take care of my feelings."
At this time, Xiao Qingyue blushed, lowered her head, and slowly stretched out her hand.
She carefully took one of Xue Mu's fingers and said nervously, her voice trembling: "I just hope that Mr. Xue will come and stay with me if he has time in the future. That's enough."
"Of course, if Mr. Xue likes her even a little bit, Qingyue will naturally never leave her for the rest of her life."
"Qingyue."
Xue Mu interrupted her, and he replied awkwardly: "Your father is the priest of the Imperial College. I heard Ru Yan say before that many dignitaries came to propose marriage, and judging from the feeling, you must be a You are a beautiful woman, and based on these alone, I feel that I am not worthy of you."
Originally, Xue Mu wanted to say this to interrupt Xiao Qingyue's thoughts.
But unexpectedly, Xiao Qingyue said: "My father is the Imperial Academy's liberator, but this has nothing to do with me. Just like in "A Dream of Red Mansions", Daiyu likes Baoyu and Baoyu likes Daiyu, then they can be together, so The only one who can influence me is Mr. Xue. If Mr. Xue dislikes me, then I will never mention this matter again."
Xue Mu quickly shook his head: "Qingyue is gentle and elegant, and she understands the general situation. How can I dislike it?"
"Then Mr. Xue has a certain fondness for him?" Xiao Qingyue suddenly became excited.
Xue Mu didn't know whether he should admit it or not.
At first, because Xiao Qingyue's father was the chief priest of the Imperial Academy, he wanted to climb higher and become a backer.
That's why I came into contact with Xiao Qingyue.
After getting along with each other these few times, Xiao Qingyue is a famous and talented woman like Xu Ruyan.
But unlike Ruyan, Qingyue is more daring to love and hate.
Perhaps after reading "The West Chamber" and "A Dream of Red Mansions", my thoughts and consciousness have changed even more.
If Xue Mu wants to say he hates Xiao Qingyue, then of course he doesn't.
Since I don't hate it, I have a certain fondness for it.
So Xue Mu refused to deny it, but said: "Qingyue, if I am free in the future, I will come to accompany you."
He can't say some words of love and liking. If so, he would be a complete scumbag.
He could only stabilize Xiao Qingyue and let her have more expectations in the future.
Sure enough, Xiao Qingyue felt happy after hearing this.
She nodded and said, "Master Xue, if this is the case, that would be great."
In fact, she didn't expect Xue Mu to say that he loved her.
Even if she told him, she would feel that Xue Mu was going against his will.
Now Xue Mu's words were exactly what she wanted.
Then she stood up and planned to pour Xue Mu another cup of tea.
While pouring tea, Xiao Qingyue found that Xue Mu's collar was a little crooked, so she planned to straighten it for him.
Xue Mu was a little nervous when he saw Xiao Qingyue coming.
I saw Xiao Qingyue put her hand on his shoulder, moved it slightly, and then said: "Your clothes are a little crooked, let me correct them for you."
"Okay, thank you Qingyue."
At this time, Xiao Qingyue noticed that Xue Mu's arms were bulging and seemed to be hiding something, so she asked curiously: "Mr. Xue, is there something hidden in your arms?"
"It's medicine." Xue Mu answered without thinking too much.
"Medicine? What happened to your body?" Xiao Qingyue suddenly became nervous.
She even asked: "Do I need to ask dad to ask the imperial doctor to come over?"
Xue Mu quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, no, these are medicines for martial arts training."
"Martial arts medicine." Xiao Qingyue asked curiously: "Mr. Xue, can you take it out and show it to Qingyue?"
"Okay." Xue Mu took out the medicine bottle from his arms and immediately explained: "After taking this pill, you can increase your skill."
Xiao Qingyue liked reading, and naturally knew that the pills must have side effects, so she asked, "Are there any drawbacks to that?"
Xue Mu nodded: "That's right. Every time after eating, my whole body feels so hot and painful that I feel like I'm burning with desire."
"Ah?" Xiao Qingyue was obviously a little nervous after hearing this: "Then how can we ease it?"
"This" Xue Mu smiled awkwardly: "No need to relieve it, just pour a bucket of water and it will be fine."
"Really?"
"Um."
Xiao Qingyue knew that he was not telling the truth.
Looking at the pills in the bottle, I think of the story books I usually read.
Then he cautiously asked, "Do you need Ruyan's help?"
Xue Mu was a little surprised: "What are you doing?"
Xiao Qingyue laughed: "Mr. Xue, don't forget, I love reading story books. After General Li takes the medicine, he is always served by the princess."
"So that's it."
Xue Mu became embarrassed.
At this time, Xiao Qingyue seemed to be hesitating about something. After making up her mind, she blushed and looked up at Xue Mu and said, "Mr. Xue, why don't you let me take Ru Yan's place?"
"Ah?!" Xue Mu was very surprised. He even asked, "What are you here to replace?"
"I said, let me take the place of sister Ruyan. You can take the pills here, and then I will help you." After saying that, Xiao Qingyue pursed her lips, obviously a little shy.
Xue Mu suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He faltered and then said: "That's not okay. If this happens... and you are still a young lady, you can't do it. This will only damage your reputation."
"Mr. Xue, you know that I like you now, so I will never look at other men again, and I also know that Sister Ruyan must have helped you. I also want to be like Sister Ruyan, so that you don't do that. pain."
Xiao Qingyue spoke to Xue Mu in an almost pleading tone.
Xue Mu didn't know what to choose for a while, and sat awkwardly on the chair, hesitating.
I saw Xiao Qingyue pouring a glass of water, taking out a Chunyang pill from the medicine bottle, and said: "Mr. Xue, please let me help you."
"But."
"I do."
Before Xue Mu could answer, Xiao Qingyue put the Chunyang Pill in his mouth and stuffed it with his fingers.
As he drank a glass of water, Xue Mu suddenly felt a heat wave sweeping through his body.
Xiao Qingyue on the side also felt the temperature around her gradually rising.
She helped Xue Mu to the bedside, and then lowered the bed curtain.
Watching from the sidelines.
Soon, the power of Chunyang Pill took effect.
It was the first time that Xiao Qingyue saw Xue Mu covered in sweat, face flushed, and felt very uncomfortable.
As the eldest daughter of the Grand Priestess of the Imperial Academy, she grew up reading the Four Books and Five Classics in the palace. She is a veritable eldest daughter of the Yellow Flower.
Now, looking at the man I love.
Xiao Qingyue slowly squatted down, imagining the scene in the storybook, and tried to help Xue Mu [oh] get up.
