Zhou Che, no, Zhou "Jian" must have been tired, and Shao Yue was also very tired. After dinner, she went back to the arranged room to rest early.
The beds she used were all made by Huaihui. The black beds were of good texture and seemed to glow in the sunlight.
At a glance, it seems very simple and ordinary, but to be truly immersed in it is to give people a sense of distance.
Just like Huaihui's impression on others, he is gentle and approachable to outsiders, but can't hide a little arrogance in his heart.
Fortunately, it's not him who he wants to close the distance with.
Shaoyue lay on the bed, thinking of Ji Xuanhe's bright smile and sincere concern, and felt warm in her heart.
Let’s go find Mr. Ji tomorrow.
She closed her eyes and smiled.
The second day.
When Shaoyue got up, Huaihui was no longer in the house.
She was not in a hurry. She went to the dining room to eat breakfast, made some pastries with some ingredients, and walked to the place he mentioned last night with the food box in hand.
The storage bag has a mechanical dandelion specially used to guide the way. Although the Spirit Sword Sect is called the Spirit Sword Sect, it does not mean that it is full of swordsmanship disciples.
The Lingjian Sect was famous for its swordsmanship, and later attracted many elders with other abilities, and other categories were derived.
This mechanical dandelion was developed by the Zongmen Artifact Refining Hall.
Shaoyue followed Dandelion to the location and saw Huaihui, Ji Xuanhe and a girl she met yesterday practicing sword practice.
She looked on, and both Ji Xuanhe and the girl noticed her arrival.
Huaihui concentrated on practicing swordsmanship and was not distracted by other things.
Liao Ke'er saw Miss Shao and looked in the direction of her senior brother. He didn't look at her at all. He immediately became happy and ignored her.
Ji Xuanhe, on the other hand, saw her sitting alone on the stone bench under the tree, looking very lonely, so he stopped holding the sword in his hand and came over to chat with her.
"Miss Shao, are you coming to see us practice swordsmanship?"
Shaoyue nodded and replied.
"Well, it's not interesting for me to stay in the house alone."
"Then let me chat with you. Anyway, today's daily sword training task has been completed."
Ji Xuanhe talked to her for a long time, and the two chatted happily.
He felt that Miss Shao treated him better than Huaihui, and was different from other girls, so he felt even more happy.
At the end, Ji Xuanhe scratched his head and asked, "Don't you think Brother Huai is better than me?"
Shao Yue smiled: "From the day the tiger demon pounced on me, to the moment you flew down from your sword and killed the tiger demon to save me, I felt that you were the best in the world."
Ji Xuanhe realized that she had mistakenly recognized her savior. Although he was a little disappointed, he still wanted to explain.
"That's not the case, Miss Shao..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Huaihui who came over after practicing his sword and asked, "What are you talking about?"
"It's nothing."
Shaoyue was completely unaware of what Ji Xuanhe wanted to say just now, and then she remembered the pastry box she had left untouched.
She took out a plate of pastries she made by herself from the box and handed it in the direction of Ji Xuanhe.
"Mr. Ji, I forgot. These are the pastries I prepared for you. I want to thank you."
"Ah? Let me try it."
Ji Xuanhe picked up a piece and put it into his mouth, looking surprised, "It's delicious, thank you Miss Shao."
Shaoyue pursed her lips and smiled, then recalled that Huaihui was also by her side. She only cared about Ji Xuanhe's lack of etiquette and quickly made up for it.
"Mr. Huai, you can eat too, you're welcome. These ingredients are all from the kitchen, so I'm borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha."
Huaihui took a piece, tasted it and did not continue. He just said thank you warmly.
Liao Kerer didn't like seeing her senior brother getting along with other women, so she looked at him from afar and turned around to leave.
The three of them were eating snacks and chatting at the stone table under the tree.
What Ji Xuanhe originally wanted to say was interrupted, and he couldn't continue to explain, so he suppressed it for the time being.
When Shaoyue was away, Ji Xuanhe found Huaihui alone and talked about "mistaking his savior".
"Are you telling the truth?"
Huaihui didn't believe it, but also felt enlightened.
If that's the case, then he understands.
These days, he was extremely uncomfortable with Shao Yue's different treatment of him and Ji Xuanhe. Now that he knew the reason, his heart settled down.
Ji Xuanhe thought Miss Shaoyue was very nice, but unfortunately if he told her the truth, she wouldn't be so kind to him.
He was very disappointed, but he still didn't want to hide it and said:
"Hey, Brother Huai. How about we go to Miss Shao tomorrow to explain it clearly? It was obviously you who saved him, so all the gratitude falls on me."
"explain?"
Huaihui thought about Shaoyue's attitude towards Ji Xuanhe, if it happened to him.
He frowned. Although he and Miss Shaoyue got along harmoniously, it was absolutely impossible for her to agree to be his Taoist companion in order to save her life.
After knowing the real reason for the difference in attitude despite the fact that he saved people, the unbalanced feeling in Huaihui's heart disappeared, and he returned to his former calm.
So, Huaihui wiped his sword with a silk handkerchief and said calmly:
"There's nothing to explain. She just misunderstood."
"Since we have all misunderstood, the explanation now is a bit like trying to make up for it, so it is better to just leave it like this and let Miss Shaoyue continue to misunderstand."
Ji Xuanhe knew that the arrogance in his friend's heart had reappeared. He did not feel helpless today, but felt a little secretly happy in his heart, saying:
"Then I won't say anything. I'll go find Miss Shaoyue to play."
"Um."
Seeing Ji Xuanhe going out to look for Shao Yue, Huaihui suddenly raised his head and felt something strange in his heart.
I somehow felt that I would regret it later.
But who is Huaihui? He never looks back on anything he has done.
That feeling was completely suppressed.
Life in the Lingjian Sect was nothing new as usual for Huaihui, but for Ji Xuanhe and Shao Yue, it was much more interesting.
There is a fixed time for sword practice in the morning, and Ji Xuanhe will not be absent. Shao Yue is watching Ji Xuanhe practice swordsmanship.
During the break, it was very pleasant to give him cakes and tea, laugh and chat.
If the sect has nothing to do in the afternoon, it will be free time for the disciples to move around.
Ji Xuanhe was lively and fun-loving, and he was gifted with a pair of eyes for discovering beauty. Shao Yue went around the entire Lingjian Sect with him and saw the beautiful scenery around the Lingjian Sect.
Occasionally, they would go down the mountain to the surrounding towns to buy some weird gadgets. The two of them seemed to have a childlike innocence and had a great time playing.
Every time Shaoyue came back from outside at night, Huaihui would see the smile that couldn't be hidden on her face.
Somehow, even though he had already figured it out, seeing the increasingly harmonious atmosphere between the two of them, Huaihui couldn't help but feel some destructive emotions.
These emotions were stirring in his chest, making him feel short of breath and irritable from time to time.
So, on that day, when Shaoyue finished her lunch break and wanted to go down the mountain with Ji Xuanhe, Huaihui stood in front of her.
