The next morning, Chen Mo ended that wonderful dream and opened his eyes. He was the only one left in the room, covered with a thin quilt.
There was still a dull pain in his chest, and the wound was torn open again. She left special marks on her neck and back.
Chen Mo rubbed his head and was about to turn over to get up when he noticed that his legs were as heavy as lead.
"Everything is different..."
Chen Mo sighed inwardly. The scent of the person on his pillow still remained on his hands, but she was not in the room. "Wushuang? Chu Wushuang?" Chen Mo called out, but no one answered.
Chen Mo's heart suddenly shook, and his consciousness immediately spread, looking for Chu Wushuang.
What he was most worried about was that she did this to repay her kindness. If that was the case, then Chen Mo would rather that nothing happened last night.
Fortunately, it was just a false alarm. Chu Wushuang just went for a walk outside the palace gate. After not walking far, Chen Mo hurriedly followed.
Bathed in the morning sun, everything is a new beginning. It seems that she is in a very happy mood. Her black hair that originally hung naturally has been tied into a long ponytail. The light makes her look extremely white and breakable. Her delicate face has a pure and fulfilling beauty.
Chen Mo suppressed his excitement. He told himself over and over again that she, this beautiful female cultivator, completely belonged to him. He walked over quickly, hugged Chu Wushuang tightly in his arms, and said, "Why did you come out?"
What was supposed to happen happened, and things that shouldn't be done were made exceptions. Chu Wushuang's face turned red, and he hugged Chen Mo's waist strangely, and the two of them got tired of being together in broad daylight.
Chu Wushuang said: "Are you happy?" Chen Mo thought for a while and said: "If you are happy, I am happy too."
Chen Mo took Chu Wushuang into his arms without hesitation and kissed her deeply. When they were both out of breath for a few breaths, Chu Wushuang pushed him away and pretended to be angry and said: "Let you succeed." Got it!"
Chen Mo smiled softly and did not explain, but Chu Wushuang looked up at him, their eyes met, and she asked: "Do you think things are progressing too fast between us?"
Chen Mo shook his head and said: "If there is a gap between heaven and earth in life, it will happen suddenly." The original slightly serious atmosphere was washed away. Chu Wushuang was amused by him and said: "I don't understand, so you just keep talking like those sour scholars."
Chen Mo also smiled and said: "If I don't practice, it's not difficult to be a candidate. Maybe I can marry into your general's mansion and become your husband."
Chu Wushuang pretended to look at him in surprise: "Strange, are you still Chen Mo?" Chen Mo said: "Why do you ask that?"
Chu Wushuang explained: "It's not like you can say such a joke."
Chen Mo became interested and said, "Then what kind of person am I in your eyes?"
"I don't know how to describe it..." Chu Wushuang said: "Let's talk about your duties. You have more evil ideas in your heart than anyone else. You are also ugly, and you don't know how to make people happy. You are always taciturn. He looks like a big idiot..."
Chen Mo smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, okay, stop talking. If you continue talking, I will find a crack in the ground and crawl into it."
Chen Mo held Chu Wushuang's hand, and the two of them took a leisurely walk outside the cold palace: "Chen Mo, let me ask you another question, can you answer me truthfully?"
"When have I ever told a lie in front of you?" Chen Mo said without blushing, "Just ask."
"Then you can't be angry." Chen Mo said, "I won't."
"Let me tell you first, I'm not angry, I just want to ask you if you have ever had a heartbeat after being outside for so long?"
Chen Mo stopped and said immediately: "Yes."
Chu Wushuang's body visibly stagnated. "Oh...then who is she?" Although the smile on her face was there, it looked like a forced smile.
Chen Mo glanced at her expression and said very seriously: "There once was a kid with good bones. I wanted to take him as my apprentice, but unfortunately..."
"Chen Mo! You deserve a beating!" Before she finished speaking, Chu Wushuang became extremely angry. While beating Chen Mo's arm, she said angrily: "You clearly know what I said!"
Although there was some pain, Chen Mo didn't take it seriously. He chuckled and said, "Of course not! Who else can I like besides you? Who else can like me? Stop thinking so wildly."
Having said that, a figure automatically appeared in Chen Mo's mind: the pretty girl who had always obeyed his words, the female cultivator who was still waiting for him at the Chuguo Inn.
"Do you really have no feeling at all?" Chen Mo himself didn't know. He could only choose to temporarily lose his memory.
"......real or fake?"
"Of course it's true."
But Chu Wushuang shook his head and said, "I don't believe it." Chen Mo smiled helplessly and said, "Don't ask questions with answers like this, okay?"
The palace blocked the light, and the two walked into a shady corner. Chu Wushuang raised his head and looked at him: "Then can you promise me? I will always be the only one in your heart."
Chen Mo knew very well that if he showed the slightest hesitation at this time, all his previous efforts would be immediately wasted, and if he opened his mouth to agree, it would be expected and perfunctory, and it was wrong no matter how he said it.
But it was the lesser of the two, and Chen Mo repeated to her without hesitation: "I only have you in my heart, and there will be no one else!"
Chu Wushuang nodded with satisfaction: "If you break your promise..." Chen Mo continued to speak word by word.
"Forget it." Midway through her words, Chu Wushuang suddenly changed her words and said, "Say one more thing. You must always listen to my opinion and cannot make decisions for me."
"I will listen to Chu Wushuang's opinion and never force her to do something she doesn't want to do."
Chen Mo swore again simply. Through the conversation just now, he also discovered that Chu Wushuang was an extremely insecure person and needed to give a promise to make her believe it.
Of course, maybe as she said, the two of them were progressing too fast. This time, within a month of coming back, something shouldn't have happened. What would he think of her? Is she a frivolous or casual person?
But no matter what happened, Chen Mo didn't care. He just swore that he would never be a swaying wallflower again.
Human nature is not a game played by children on the seesaw, and Chen Mo is not a peerless master of playing with emotions. If one party suddenly becomes overweight and the key point of balance is broken, not only him, but all three of them will suffer a sudden and heavy blow.
Chen Mo thought about it and said some decisive words to Lin Yuqin later. Even if she got scolded, the mess must be ended quickly.
"But... what if she is neither angry nor scolding, but sincerely wishes me blessings?"
After swearing the oath, Chu Wushuang captured the trace of sadness that flashed between Chen Mo's brows: "What's wrong, Chen Mo, did you say something against your will?" Chu Wushuang said carefully, and she felt a little lost. .
Chen Mo didn't defend himself, but just held her in his arms again: "If we had said everything we needed to say that night, we wouldn't have kept you waiting for so long."
Chen Mo was naturally referring to the night before leaving for Yuncheng. That was indeed the thing that the two of them regretted the most. They didn't speak clearly. Otherwise, they should have been together long ago.
Hearing Chen Mo's explanation, Chu Wushuang had no doubt that he was there, and said with the same emotion in his arms: "Yes, we are no longer young."
How many years of youth have been wasted in a person's life. Chu Wushuang doesn't want to leave any regrets. This is the main reason why she accepted Chen Mo last night.
Seeing that the lie got through, Chen Mo felt even more guilty towards Chu Wushuang. His face turned red, and a sense of shame enveloped his whole body.
Fortunately, Chu Wushuang turned her back to him and didn't see him.
"It seems that I am no different from those despicable people. In the future, stop pretending to be pure and noble. They are all dirty and dirty things."
Chen Mo sighed in his heart for his failure.
