After setting off the sky lanterns, a few people took advantage of the charming moonlight and returned to the waterside pavilion to have a drink.
After three rounds of drinking, Luo Huaizhou, who was obviously drunk, stood up unsteadily. His face was red, but his eyes were still full of excitement. He looked at Su Jingqian beside him. , smiled mysteriously at everyone, "Let me tell you, don't look at Jing Qian's thin skin and tender flesh, but in fact his martial arts skills are not inferior to those of the martial arts heroes."
Lin Wanwan's hand holding the wine glass paused slightly, and she couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Su Jin always knew how to act appropriately, why would he let Luo Huaizhou know that he knew martial arts?
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Shi Manzi beside him ask in surprise: "Master Su knows martial arts?"
Lin Wanwan unconsciously looked at Su Jingqian, and saw that he still had the same lazy look, with his forehead resting on one hand. She didn't know whether he was sleepy or because he drank too much, his eyes were slightly closed, and he looked at Su Jingqian. When he heard others talking about him, he never even raised his eyelids.
Seeing Shi Manzi's curious look, Luo Huaizhou seemed to be interested. He picked up the folding fan on the table and showed it in a cool way, and began to vividly tell the story of how he met Su Jingqian.
He was eloquent, talking about how Su Jingqian single-handedly fought off more than a dozen gangsters who came to rob him in the mountains and forests, how he left without leaving a name afterwards, and how they ended up in Xuanji. An unexpected reunion in the building.
In short, in Luo Huaizhou's heart, this is a very legendary story of the world. It is the world that he has always been thinking about, so he has always been very envious of Su Jingqian's martial arts. He ran towards his Xuanji Tower, hoping that Su Jingqian would accept him as his disciple. After going back and forth, the two gradually chatted happily and found that they were very compatible. Over time, they became each other's best friends.
It can be seen that Luo Huaizhou's feelings for Su Jingqian include both admiration and acquaintance. To him, Su Jingqian is completely different from his usual friends. He is the only friend he is willing to have a heart-to-heart relationship with. , is a true confidant.
After a few more glasses of wine, Luo Huaizhou rubbed his forehead in a drunken state. Shi Manzi's expression gradually became dazed. Seeing that Luo Huaizhou was happy, she didn't want to spoil her interest, so she drank more with him until she felt dizzy. Fell on the table.
"Ha...you're drunk now? Hiccup...you can't drink enough..." Luo Huaizhou had just finished laughing at Shi Manzi, when he himself plopped down on the table and fell unconscious.
Su Jingqian slowly opened his eyes. Under the long eyelashes, a pair of deep pupils were like a bottomless pool, but they were not drunk at all. He asked the butler to send them back to the island's courtyard to rest, and then summoned an attendant to whisper something to him.
Although there was a faint blush on Lin Wanwan's face, she didn't look drunk at all. Instead, she asked the attendant for a few small jars of osmanthus wine and walked to the river bank alone.
When passing by Su Jingqian, he just glanced at him very lightly. There seemed to be many indescribable emotions hidden in that strange look. Su Jingqian's heart suddenly sank, and a flash of light flashed through his eyes. With an imperceptible look of sadness, he closed his eyes, and after explaining to the attendant, he followed her calmly.
Lin Wanwan found a flat grassy area and sat down by the river. She uncorked the wine jar, raised her head and took a sip of wine, which seemed a bit heroic.
Su Jingqian walked up to her and watched silently as she drank sip after sip of her mouth. She moved her thin lips slightly, wanting to say something, but in the end she didn't say a word. He raised his eyes to look at the bright moon in the sky, and slowly clenched the palm behind his back into a fist.
After she took off the cork of the second jar of wine, he finally couldn't help it, grabbed the wine jar from her hand, and said in a deep voice: "Stop drinking."
Lin Wanwan raised her eyes and glanced at him lightly. That glance was a little cold, and seemed to be mixed with a trace of invisible hatred, which made him feel chilly in his heart.
Her red lips curled up and she smiled sarcastically, "Why, after I've been acting with you for so long, why don't you let me have a sip of wine?"
He lowered his eyes and looked at her, his expression seemed a bit gloomy, and there seemed to be a touch of sadness in his frown, "If I say that everything I did today was from the sincerity, would you believe it?"
"Sincerely? Ha..." Lin Wanwan laughed to herself as if she had heard a very funny joke. Until the smile gradually solidified on her lips, she suddenly raised her eyes and looked at him with cold eyes. There was a bone-chilling coldness like ice, and a hint of contempt flashed in his eyes, "Since when did you, Su Jin, have such a thing?"
Su Jingqian's face suddenly darkened, and his eyes were filled with a dark color. He looked at her coldly, as if he wanted to look deep into her heart. When he touched the undisguised disdain in her eyes, When he felt disgusted, his eyes suddenly flickered a few times, and wisps of light passed silently under his eyes, leaving only a shadow in the end.
He avoided her piercing gaze without leaving a trace, and warned in a cold voice: "Lin Wanwan, enough is enough."
"What? Are you feeling guilty?" The corners of her lips were still raised, her sarcasm unabated, "Don't you know exactly why you brought me to see him?"
He looked dimly at the night mist-shrouded water, and there seemed to be a layer of mist floating in his eyes, making it difficult to fathom the misty emotions in his eyes. Only the slender figure stood out under the moonlight. There is a sense of loneliness that is difficult to resolve.
After a while, I heard his voice coming slowly along with the river breeze, "If I said I just brought you to the island to release sky lanterns, you still wouldn't believe me, right?"
"Su Jin, don't think of me as that ignorant girl seven years ago!" As if it touched the most fragile heartstrings in her heart, her voice involuntarily raised a few points, and the cold tone was filled with anger and hatred. Just like the thousands of emotions surging in her heart at this time, it was difficult to calm down.
Su Jingqian was slightly startled. Her words were like a pebble thrown into his heart, causing ripples in his heart. An extremely complex emotion passed through his eyes. For a moment, he felt a wave of pain in his chest. There was a dull feeling, as if a huge boulder was pressing on it, making him a little breathless.
He stood there in silence, his expression dark and obscure, making it impossible to discern the turbulent emotions in his heart.
Lin Wanwan closed her eyes, trying her best to calm down the surging emotions in her heart. When she opened her eyes again, her expression was almost serious, leaving only the lingering sadness in her heart. She looked up at the full moon in the sky, and the watery moonlight reflected in her quiet eyes, with a hint of sadness flowing through them.
She was silent for a long time, then slowly raised her head to look at him, and said quietly: "You brought me to see him because you are ready to take action, right?"
Su Jingqian lowered his eyes and stared at her, his eyes serious, showing no emotion or anger. In her cold eyes, she suddenly chuckled, and the corners of her lips raised a playful arc, but there was no smile in her eyes. They looked extremely cold, which made her heart feel even colder.
"So, you know."
