The dense darkness of night enveloped the small courtyard.
The door of the small courtyard was closed, and the doors of the two huts in the courtyard were also closed. Only a little light flowed out from the window of the hut on the left, blending into the quiet night in the courtyard.
Inside the house, Mu Qing carefully closed the door, turned around and saw the shorter figure next to him, and subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
It felt so good to have Murong Jing right in front of me.
Mu Qing looked at her sideways face with her head lowered, and was hesitating how to speak, when a crisp sound sounded from the incense burner: "Bang."
The bright flame jumped up, and when it was about to touch Murong Jing's hanging hair, it naturally floated in other directions.
When the flame gradually stabilized and retracted into the incense burner, Mu Qing looked at the scene in front of him with rapt attention, opened his mouth, and chose silence again.
Murong Jing had already noticed his movements. Seeing that he still refused to look away, she subconsciously pursed her lips. However, she was confused by the slight sting on her lips. Without turning her head, she asked softly: "What's wrong with you?" Already?"
Mu Qing replied: "I'm fine."
"Um?"
Murong Jing couldn't help turning her head to look at Mu Qing, but she couldn't stand Mu Qing's gaze at this moment and turned back quickly. She was about to sit back when Mu Qing immediately said: "Don't move!"
Murong Jing subconsciously tensed her body and remained motionless.
At this time, the flame in the incense burner became much brighter after a soft sound.
Balls of firelight shined from the incense burner, and when passing through the hollow patterns on the furnace wall, they projected different shapes of light and shadow in the room.
Murong Jing knelt down in front of the table, one hand resting on the edge of the table to support her forward leaning body, and the other hand resting on top of the incense burner.
"Crack."
There was a little sound of sparks popping.
The projected light and shadow swayed with the sway of the firelight.
Falling on the low table, there are flying flowers and birds, clinging to the roof, it is the changing starry sky, and falling on Murong Jing's body, it is a beauty that cannot be described in a thousand words.
Probably because her aura was particularly close to the flame, the flame in the incense burner always turned towards Murong Jing.
In the entanglement of light and shadow, the corners of her mouth were clearly stained with fresh blood, and her body had an indescribable and eternal smell.
Mu Qing looked at her profile leaning in front of the fire, feeling extremely peaceful inside.
He didn't know how he came to be opposite Murong Jing and how he sat down. When he sat opposite her, Mu Qing subconsciously pushed Huo Guang closer to her.
Murong watched quietly, her eyes falling on the incense burner for a while, and then on Mu Qing's face. Finally, she couldn't help but asked: "You...don't you have anything to say?"
Mu Qing looked at her and replied, "I had a lot to say just now."
Murong Jing pursed her lips and looked away.
In fact, she didn't know if she could answer like yesterday if Mu Qing asked why he left without saying goodbye. After a moment of silence, she said softly: "I'm sorry, I hope you can understand me."
Mu Qing's heart ached. Murong Jing didn't know that he had learned about her situation from Lin Langtian, and asked, "Why do you want to apologize to me?"
Murong Jing was stunned for a moment, then lowered her eyes and said, "I shouldn't have been hiding from you just now."
Mu Qing's eyes flashed and he looked at Murong Jing who was sitting across a short table. Although she was even more beautiful under the firelight, he still liked the feeling just now, so he moved the short table away. When Murong Jing was surprised In his eyes, Murong Jing returned to his arms again.
Murong Jing blinked and gently leaned her head on Mu Qing's shoulder.
Mu Qing half-closed his eyes, gently rubbing her hair with his nose, feeling the tenderness and softness of her body, breathing the air with her breath contentedly, and said quietly: "Don't do this again, we will never be separated again. Okay?"
A line of tears flowed from the corners of Murong Jing's eyes. She tilted her head to prevent Mu Qing from seeing her, and said in an almost pleading voice: "Don't ask this question again, okay?"
Mu Qing felt the dampness and heat on his shoulders, and endless pity arose in his heart. Then he thought of the injury of the woman in his arms, and fell silent again.
Murong Jing thought he was angry and wanted to break away from his arms to see him, but was held tightly by Mu Qing.
"do not move."
"Um."
The two hugged each other, and everything outside the house, the dark night, complicated people, and incomprehensible things, seemed to disappear at this moment, leaving only the swaying light and shadow nearby and the sound of each other's breathing.
After a long time, until Murong Jing felt that she had spent countless good nights with Mu Qing, she asked softly: "Have you noticed me before?"
Mu Qing replied: "No."
Mu Qing did not wait for Murong Jing to ask why he came back, and took the initiative to say: "I read the letter you left, and the first thing that came to my mind was the place you talked about. The other people in Hidden Valley have probably already looked for it. .”
Murong Jing thought of the letter she left, and felt complicated, and asked, "What about you? How did you find yourself here?"
Mu Qing hugged Murong Jing's waist with one hand, reached out with the other hand to hold her hand tightly, and said calmly: "In my heart, this place is very important to me. And this is also the reason why I came back after leaving. Before coming here, I have looked for other places where you have stayed."
Murong Jing turned her head and looked at Mu Qing with her beautiful eyes, and Mu Qing also turned to look at her.
Their chests were close together, and their breathing rhythms had already been consistent, but they had never been able to be truly honest.
Mu Qing knew a little more than Murong Jing, and because of this, he had extremely complicated emotions about Murong Jing's refusal to tell him the truth until now.
Huaifenghua was right, Murongjing would sacrifice everything for him, including her life.
And what about himself?
Mu Qing looked into Murong Jing's eyes and asked seriously: "Will you still leave?"
Murong Jing turned her head away, waited for the pain deep in her eyes to be suppressed, then turned around and said, "Can you not answer?"
Mu Qing asked again: "Then when will you leave?"
Murong Jing opened her mouth and rested her head on Mu Qing's shoulder, feeling at a loss.
If possible, she would have wished that she and Mu Qing would never be separated in this life, but since she was facing death eventually, she would have wished that one person would bear everything.
After thinking about this, Murong Jing left Mu Qing's chest with difficulty, returned to the short table and sat down again.
Mu Qing sat down on the futon regardless of the appearance, and said: "After you came out from Wei Rui's place, we walked a long, long way together. You said we would never see each other again, but we have already met, so that doesn't count. ?"
Murong Jing looked at the fire in front of her, remained silent for a moment, shook her head and said, "I will still leave, because you can't be separated from her."
Mu Qing's expression suddenly became painful, and he said in a deep voice: "After you left, someone asked me how to handle the relationship with you. Do you know how I answered?"
Mu Qing looked at Murong Jing, his eyes gradually becoming firm: "I said, as long as you don't leave me, I will never give up."
Murong Jing did not dare to look at Mu Qing's expression and remained silent in great pain.
The reason why she let Mu Qing choose one of the two was because she knew Mu Qing would have such a choice. Her leaving would be a kind of fulfillment for Mu Qing and Liu Weirui.
"Do you think that your own departure will be a fulfillment for her and me?"
Mu Qing guessed what she was thinking, and looked a little aggressive, asking: "Why do you want to help me and her? If these things hadn't happened, would you still choose to help her?"
If these things hadn't happened...
As soon as this thought came to Murong Jing's mind, she immediately put it out and replied quietly: "It's a pity that there is no if."
Mu Qing wanted to confirm an answer, so he came forward again rather shamelessly. This time he did not hug Murong Jing, but held her hand tightly and said seriously word by word: "Auntie, a long time ago He warned me to handle my relationship with you well. At that time, I just wanted to be a turtle with my head down, imagining that the boat would straighten out when it reaches the bridge."
"But I also have a vague plan in my heart. When Wei Rui sends his father to Suzaku City for treatment, you will meet."
Murong Jing lowered her head, her eyes fell on the hand held by Mu Qing, and listened quietly.
Mu Qing couldn't see her emotions, so he paused for a moment and then said: "I'm a bastard. I actually imagined that you could get along well with her. I really want to know, if the first time you met her wasn't in On the battlefield, will you..."
"No." Murong Jing seemed to already know what Mu Qing would ask, and she suddenly broke away from Mu Qing's hand.
Mu Qing's fingers moved, and the temperature of Murong Jing's palm still seemed to remain on his fingertips. He nodded and said, "I can guess this answer. Even..."
Mu Qing did not say the next words.
He even imagined that if Murong Jing questioned him, since he wanted the two women to live in harmony, then whether he could live in harmony with Dugu Wei.
You know, Dugu Wei has long stopped hiding his love for Murong Jing.
But Murong Jing seemed to have never thought or asked this way.
As a result, Mu Qing blamed himself even more.
Seeing that Mu Qing stopped talking for a long time, Murong Jing sighed softly: "Although I won't do what you want, I won't deny that Miss Liu is a good girl. If you want to be with her, you have to be more serious. , instead of being half-hearted like now, otherwise there will be many difficulties between you and her. "
Mu Qing rubbed her fingertips, feeling bitter in her heart. The woman in front of her really did everything for him, but the more she did, the more he couldn't help but care about Murong Jing's feelings.
At least until it is confirmed whether Murong Jing is injured because of her own injuries or whether she simply refuses to accept Liu Wei Rui, Mu Qing will not forcefully establish a support point for a balanced relationship between Murong Jing and Liu Wei Rui.
Because Mu Qing knows that they can appreciate and recognize each other, but it is still difficult for them to recognize each other's relationship with the same person.
Mu Qing did not intend to tell Murong Jing that she had already met Lin Langtian. Probably in Murong Jing's eyes, Lin Langtian was very dissatisfied with him and would not reveal any information about her to him. With this slightly weird situation now.
Mu Qing looked at Murong Jing in front of him, and couldn't help but stretched out his hand. Murong Jing's shoulders trembled slightly, and she wanted to step back, but she was slow after all. Mu Qing's fingers touched the corner of her mouth and wiped it for her. He wiped off the blood stain and said softly: "I know her grandfather hates me and would never agree to anything between me and her."
Murong Jing frowned: "So you..."
Mu Qing looked at her complicated expression and said seriously: "So I have understood that things with her cannot be completed in a day or a month. It may take a year or even ten years, but I will If I keep at it, I am confident that one day I will have the strength to face her grandfather."
Murong Jing's eyes wandered, as if she was in a trance. She nodded after a while and said, "That's good. As long as she doesn't give up on you, you can't give up on him."
Mu Qing shook his head and said: "No, even if Wei Rui is taken away from Suzaku City by her grandfather now, one day I will go to the Western Mountains myself."
"Well."
Murong Jing covered her chest and knitted her slender eyebrows together.
Murong Jing's eyes were swaying, and she didn't know what was going on. She thought she had given up calmly and only wanted to make Mu Qing and Liu Weirui happy, but when she heard Mu Qing really do this, her heart hurt like never before.
Mu Qing sighed inwardly, resisting the urge to hold her in his arms again, looking at her face, and said quietly: "Even if she gives up on me, I will not give up on her, I will take the initiative to pursue her. , let her see my courage and determination."
Murong Jing suppressed the surging emotions in her heart and nodded with a smile: "Very good, I believe that when Miss Liu sees you doing this, she will be full of confidence in you and her future."
"It's not just Wei Rui."
"Um?"
Mu Qing kneeled in front of Murong Jing, forced her body to face his, and said in an extremely solemn tone: "I have something to say to you."
Murong Jing's heart skipped a beat and her eyes widened, as if she knew what Mu Qing would say. She propped up her body and tried to escape, but she froze in place.
Mu Qing looked into her fearful and expectant eyes and said softly: "Now, there are some things I just want to tell you."
Murong Jing's shoulders slowly relaxed, and only Mu Qing remained in her eyes.
"There are a lot of what-ifs about our future."
"But there is only one reason why you and I would separate, and that is if you really want to leave me."
"When that time comes, I will give you freedom, but not really freedom, because I will still want to hear news about you from time to time, and maybe I will secretly take a look at you when you are sleeping."
"So please don't leave without saying goodbye and tell me where you are, even if I can only see you from a distance in the future."
Murong Jing's lips trembled slightly, she wanted to say that's it, I want to leave, but she couldn't say it.
Ask yourself, if she hadn't been so seriously injured, she might be like Mu Qing said, leaving but always wanting to hear news about him.
In fact, this is not really leaving, and she never wants to really leave...
Murong Jing covered her eyes with her hands, her shoulders shaking slightly.
Mu Qing felt even more pity in her heart. She gently held her hands, looked into her hazy eyes and said, "Did you know? More than one person called me stupid, because they all said that you can sacrifice everything for me, but I can't." Still doubting our previous relationship.”
Murong Jing held Mu Qing's palm tightly with her backhand. Mu Qing felt the power in his palm and chuckled: "I felt uncomfortable all night because I knew I was quite shameless, so I didn't know how to get you back."
"They said I need to have the courage and determination to give you confidence in our future."
"But I never wanted to use your love for me to blackmail you into staying."
"Because I know that nothing in this world can separate you and me, not even life or death."
After hearing Mu Qing's last words, Murong Jing no longer pretended to be strong, and the grievances in her heart suddenly fermented and swept through her body. She took the initiative to throw herself into Mu Qing's chest, and the tears that came out of her eyes wet Mu Qing's chest, and she kept saying repeatedly: "sorry Sorry……"
Mu Qing pressed her face against Murong Jing's cheek, feeling her warm tears, and her eyes became firmer.
No matter what the price, he must save Murong Jing!
