Ayahan doesn't like to say goodbye in a greasy manner, at least not now.
A girl's thoughts are most afraid of being guessed, and even more afraid of not being guessed. She now understands the shyness of ordinary girls. She always thought that she was a frank person, but when things happened to her, she found that she was even more shy than others.
She doesn't want to go back to Tianquanmen, she wants to talk to someone, a senior brother or sister-in-law.
what's the topic?
Let's talk about Xu Qingchen. He is a very good person, but he is a bit slow... and he is not very suitable. It’s not that it’s inappropriate now, but it may not be appropriate in the future.
With such random thoughts, Ayana realized that it was time to make a decision about her life. I had never thought about it before, but now someone reminded me of it, and ideas poured into my mind continuously.
Although the weather in Jinzhou is not colder than in the north, it can still make people shiver at night in late winter.
There is no moon, and there is a deserted village next to you, and the environment is a bit gloomy. It's not that she didn't rush through the night, but this situation made Ayana want to cry.
You should at least save it, right? "It's okay, in these troubled times, you will be safer if you leave here." Listen, is this human speech? Gradually, the nostalgia for Xu Qingchen began to turn into resentment and hatred.
The old horse beneath him had a white breath coming from his mouth and nose. In the quiet night, the only sounds of the horse's snort and hoofbeats were heard.
Vaguely, Linghan seemed to hear someone calling her name. She shook her head vigorously and warned herself not to think about it again. If he was so decisive, this person might have nothing to do with her in the future. Thinking of this, Linghan smiled and praised her decisiveness deep in her heart.
Indecisiveness leads to disaster.
But the shouting really got louder, and then I realized that it was not my imagination.
"Ayahan!!"
Ayana turned around in surprise. In the distance, a white figure rushed towards her at an extremely fast speed.
Xu Qingchen saw the pink figure all the way away, and felt extremely lucky that he had caught up.
Xu Qingchen ran to Linghan's side, out of breath from exhaustion.
Linghan asked blankly: "Brother Qingchen... why are you chasing me?"
"Why am I chasing you?" Xu Qingchen asked, "Didn't you say you were leaving tomorrow?"
"I..." Linghan replied, "I'm afraid that it will delay your business tomorrow."
"What's my business?"
"How did I know?!" For no reason, he got angry again, turned the horse's head, and said coldly, "Okay, you can give me a ride, no need to give me a ride anymore, just go back."
Xu Qingchen took two steps, grabbed the reins, and said, "I shouldn't have said those harsh words."
You think you said those few words wrong, right?
Linghan said expressionlessly: "That's not a harsh statement. You saved my life. I don't blame you."
"I...I don't understand the thoughts of girls."
You're so stupid if you can understand it... Wait, what do you mean? Do you understand now?
Xu Qingchen continued: "Even if you are unhappy, isn't it dangerous in the middle of the night?"
"I often travel at night, there is nothing dangerous." It seems that after being by your side, this girl has become like a delicate flower, unable to get wet from the rain or blown by the wind.
"I know... you... hurt..." Xu Qingchen loosened the reins and held her waist firmly.
The cold weather in the past few days has made his lower back pain a little worse. He had been running for an hour and a half just now, which had already made his lower back a little overwhelmed.
Linghan looked at the sweat on Xu Qingchen's forehead and suddenly felt distressed. Her cold tone also disappeared: "Are you... okay?"
Xu Qingchen waved his hands vigorously and said, "It's okay...don't worry."
But his slightly trembling legs betrayed him.
Ayana sighed and said, "Let's find a place to rest first."
After saying that, he jumped off the horse and helped Xu Qingchen into a relatively complete house.
Linghan gathered some hay, let Xu Qingchen sit on it, and took out flint to light a bonfire. Xu Qingchen's waist felt better now.
Linghan fiddled with the firewood and asked, "What did you want to say just now?"
Xu Qingchen rubbed her waist and said, "I know you have resentment in your heart."
"Where do I have any grievances... Are you in severe pain?" Linghan saw Xu Qingchen's expression becoming more and more distorted.
Xu Qingchen nodded: "My legs are starting to hurt too."
Linghan opened his luggage, took out a large blanket and spread it on the hay, and said to Xu Qingchen: "Get down and I'll give you a push."
Xu Qingchen originally wanted to decline, but the pain was too severe, so he had to do as Linghan said.
The girl's hands gently pressed on his waist, this time much softer than last time. Xu Qingchen, who felt better, slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
"You are resentful," Xu Qingchen said softly, "that I can't understand what you are saying."
Ling Han suddenly felt embarrassed, but she also felt a little secretly happy: Is this piece of wood enlightened?
"What am I implying?"
"I always think too much, no, sometimes I think too little. Only when I come back to my senses do I understand what you mean. The more I think, the more I miss. Ayana, I don't want to miss you...I I’m afraid I’ll regret it later.”
The girl's pressing hands stopped moving. After a while, Xu Qingchen heard Linghan's breathing getting closer and closer to him, and finally stopped on the left shoulder blade. The warm breath caressed his back regularly. Linghan was like a kitten curled up by the fire, pressing her whole body against Xu Qingchen's back. At that moment, Ayana felt something in her heart fall heavily to the ground, safe and sound.
Xu Qingchen felt... more pain. Although Ayahan is not heavy, the weight is enough for his lower back to drink a bottle. He didn't really want to ruin the atmosphere the girl was immersed in at the moment, but the pain was too much to bear.
"Linghan...it hurts..."
"Bear it." These two words were trembling slightly.
I had to endure it.
"Brother Qingchen... I don't blame you for being like a piece of wood, and I don't blame you for being mean to me."
Xu Qingchen wondered: "Then why do you still want to leave?"
"I'm afraid... I'm afraid that you will change and become like other people in the world, who don't take human life seriously, and slowly become a person that I hate."
Thinking of the people he had killed in the past few days, Xu Qingchen sighed and said, "I'm afraid too. Killing people is very uncomfortable. I used to have nightmares about Boss Yao and Young Master Yao, but recently, Miss Yao, Mrs. Yao , the assassins and bandits I killed will all appear in my dreams. I can only advise myself to calm down."
Hearing Xu Qingchen's words, Linghan felt more stable: He had not changed, he felt guilty, and he did not kill those people willingly.
"Linghan...can you get up? It really hurts..."
Aya held her mouth motionless.
Xu Qingchen had no choice but to ask: "Then can you let me turn over?"
"cannot."
"Don't leave, stay with me."
"Aren't you afraid that I'm in danger?"
"I'm afraid, but I'm even more afraid that I'll die and you won't be by my side."
"...Who taught you these words?"
"Sent from emotion."
"You've changed, you've become glib." But it sounds so nice.
"Then are you still leaving?"
"As long as you don't drive me away."
"I will never drive you away...but it really hurts. Stop making trouble and be good, my waist is about to break."
…
After coming out of Runan, Xu Qingchen has not been able to sleep well and has dreams every night. Of course, I did it tonight, but it wasn’t a nightmare.
The environment of a dilapidated house in a deserted village in the depth of winter did not provide a good sleep, but this night was the most sound sleep Xu Qingchen had ever had.
When I opened my eyes in the morning, I felt my waist hurt even more. Ling put her pillow on his shoulder and hugged him tightly, her saliva making the clothes on his shoulders wet. It looks like he's not awake yet. One of Xu Qingchen's arms rested under Linghan's slender waist. It was light... but Xu Qingchen's arm was already numb after being pressed for a whole night.
Xu Qingchen patted Linghan gently, and Linghan opened her sleepy eyes: "It's dawn..."
"Well, let's go back."
After tidying up a bit, Linghan helped Xu Qingchen get on the horse. The original intention was to take care of his waist, but who knew that after Xu Qingchen got on the horse, he stretched out a hand to Linghan, and even pulled her on the horse.
Ling Hanxin said: Men are like this. No matter how shy they are before the relationship is established, as soon as the relationship is established, they don't care about these intimate actions. They are naturally cheeky.
Thinking of this, Linghan blushed a little. She was not qualified to criticize others. If she stayed in their arms all night, wouldn't she look like a normal person when she got up in the morning?
Although the two of them were extremely open-minded, when they approached the gate of Thorn Gate, they still got off their horses and led the horses slowly into the gate.
The janitor brother looked at the two people and wondered: What did these two people do last night?
After sending Linghan back to the house, Xu Qingchen decided to go to Dr. Zhao to check on his waist. If he continued like this, he would not be able to get out of bed.
By chance, he saw Xiong San walking toward him with a smile on his face.
"Hey, brother Qingchen."
"Third Hall Master, are you okay today?"
"It's okay, what can I do? Hey, did you two spend the night outside last night?"
"Well...yes."
"Actually, it's not necessary. Your room is quite secluded and suitable for doing business."
Xu Qingchen didn't understand what Xiong San meant by "doing things" for a moment, and he didn't bother to ask.
Xiong San looked at him with one hand covering his waist, his upper body slightly bent, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"My back hurts, it's nothing serious."
Xiong San's eyes showed shock, and he asked in a low voice: "How can Linghan's small body be so tough? You can't tell."
Xu Qingchen nodded in agreement: "You really can't tell. It usually looks quite light, but who knew it was quite heavy."
Xiong San showed an "I understand" expression and patted Xu Qingchen's shoulder with a big hand like a cattail leaf fan: "It's okay, buddy. You're lucky. But even though you are a young man, you still have to be careful and have some restraint. Hurry up. Dr. Zhao will prescribe some tonic."
"Getting ready to go."
"Hey, you have a good sense in this regard. Hehe, I won't disturb you anymore. Go quickly and have a good rest in the afternoon. I will help you with any work you have."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome." He patted Xu Qingchen's shoulder again, laughed and walked away.
Xu Qingchen had something to worry about, so he went to Dr. Zhao for a few injections, took some medicine, and went back to sleep.
Linghan was different. She was so excited that she couldn't sleep at all. All she could think about was Xu Qingchen's thick chest and strong shoulders. Although this time it was just a pillow and not a real touch, it still made her heart overflowing with love.
