In the pavilion, Tang Xiaowan laughed heartily.
Leng Lingxiao turned sideways several times due to the pain of the wound. Even if he frowned slightly, he didn't want to be noticed by Tang Xiaowan.
He was afraid of worrying her, but also to maintain his glorious image of bravery and tenacity.
Just like that outing three years ago.
"Huahua, are you desperate for your life? It was so dangerous just now, it scared me to death. How could you fight them with bare hands?"
"Isn't this okay?"
"You're still laughing, but you're already bleeding. Let's go and go to the hospital."
"A manly man, go to the hospital for this kind of injury. It's so embarrassing. Just put some medicine on it for me instead of going to the hospital."
…
Everything feels like yesterday.
It was already a little cold in Jincheng at the end of September. The breeze was blowing and the roses were swaying.
Leng Lingxiao enjoyed this beauty very much.
The two of them ate and chatted without thinking about anything, as if the flashes of swords and overt and covert fights outside had nothing to do with them.
"Tangtang, your place is better. There are flowers and grass, and it looks comfortable."
"Of course, it's a geomantic treasure."
In fact, Leng Lingxiao asked Zhao Renjie to arrange the flowers and plants here in advance, including the small flower room on the roof, which was also designed according to Tang Xiaowan's previous preferences.
Solid wood frame, glass skylight.
"Well, indeed, I have a good sense. If there is such a cheap house later... just say it, I will buy it too."
"You still buy it? There are so many!"
"Hey, there's nothing I can do. I just burn too much money and feel bad if I don't spend some money."
"It's so disgusting. It's not modest at all."
"Aren't you envious of your yard? How about we switch?"
"Tch, that's a beautiful thought!"
Tang Xiaowan curled her lips, glanced sideways around the pavilion, and suddenly felt that it was not perfect, as if something was missing.
what is it then? It is a vine that is winding and can grow upward freely.
She thought of her home in Qingcheng, Meiyuan.
It is built against the mountains, both high and low, and there are many types of flowers. Coupled with the strategic location, you can see the beautiful scene of blooming flowers all year round.
In comparison, Jincheng is a bit cooler.
This means that Tang Xiaowan cannot wear the skirt she likes every day. Like everyone else, she has to add more clothes depending on the weather.
"Tangtang, what are you thinking about? Don't worry, I was just teasing you. If you don't change it, I won't change it."
"I was thinking, the soaring flower in front of the window of my plum garden... was planted by you, right? It looks so big. It would be great if there was one here. When the wind blows, it will definitely be super beautiful."
After hearing this, Leng Lingxiao felt warm in his heart.
"Why don't you say anything? It's not your fault?" Tang Xiaowan thought she had guessed wrong and quickly asked.
"When you graduated from middle school, we planted it together. I dug the hole and you filled it with soil. Even the tree next to the rockery was planted on the same day."
"Wow, it's been five or six years!"
"The Lingxiao flower can live for more than a hundred years. I also have one at home. My mother planted it when I was born. It's so big now. You can even enjoy the shade under it in the summer. It's really beautiful."
"I definitely hope that you... live a long life and soar into the sky. How wonderful!"
"Yeah, that's what it means."
"It's a pity that I don't have a mother, otherwise..."
Tang Xiaowan choked up as she spoke, with a smile on her face but tears in her eyes.
She really wanted to have such a mother, and she wanted to plant herself a Lingxiao flower in order to live a long life. Unfortunately, she didn't even know what her mother looked like or what her name was, but she always got poked at her sore point without warning.
Leng Lingxiao suddenly reacted and felt extremely guilty.
"Tangtang, actually those two Lingxiao flowers are also my blessing to you. I hope you live a long life, forever..."
"It's okay, I know. Thank you Huahua. In fact, in school, whenever I was asked... what my parents do, I would always say, they are in business and very busy, hahaha."
Tang Xiaowan said lightly. Although there was a smile on her face, it made Leng Lingxiao feel even more distressed.
"Tangtang, would you like to come to my house during the holidays?"
This is an invitation, but also a longing for many years.
He wanted to give Tang Xiaowan a family, but he didn't dare to say it outright.
"I don't want to go. I want to go back to Meiyuan. Maybe grandma will then... Hehe, you know, I definitely want to go back and just stay at home."
In the middle of speaking, Tang Xiaowan quickly stopped and started talking about something else, for fear of being overheard.
Ever since she learned the secret of her grandma's fake death, she felt that life was full of hope, and she was no longer afraid even if the night attackers came back.
"I'll go too and wait with you."
"Okay, so I don't have to get too excited myself. I don't even have anyone to share it with."
Leng Lingxiao didn't expect that Tang Xiaowan would agree so readily. He was still thinking about making up a reason to pass the level, but he suddenly laughed and completely forgot about the injury.
"ah……"
"What's wrong? Does the wound hurt?"
"It's okay, it's nothing." Leng Lingxiao said with a smile, trying to look relaxed.
"Okay, okay, don't be brave. Will it hurt if the wound is so deep? That hunting knife is mine. Do I not know how long it is?"
"Tangtang, actually that knife is..."
As he was talking, the phone rang, but Leng Lingxiao didn't want to pay attention and just wanted to finish talking, so he looked at Tang Xiaowan lovingly: "Actually, that hunting knife was given to you by me two years ago, in your high school. After graduation, with the acceptance letter... showing off to me."
"Graduating from high school? Are you afraid that I... will meet a pervert when I go to college?"
Tang Xiaowan smiled heartily.
Leng Lingxiao watched quietly.
Even when their eyes met, they didn't feel awkward, but rather calm.
"Almost." Leng Lingxiao said with a smile.
"Wow, is it true? I was just talking nonsense. It's so funny. How could a pervert dare to harass me? Unless he doesn't want to live anymore, I won't kick him away with my kick!"
Leng Lingxiao nodded: "I know, you were still me..."
At this time, the phone rang again.
"Hurry up, why don't you answer? Is there some secret...are you afraid that I will hear it?" Tang Xiaowan looked at Leng Lingxiao with a smile.
"Nonsense, I don't have any secrets."
As Leng Lingxiao spoke, he took out his cell phone, took it out and looked at it, and immediately laughed.
"Why are you laughing? The wound doesn't hurt anymore?"
"It belongs to Wang Jinghui."
When Tang Xiaowan heard this, she quickly moved forward and said, "Is it ready?"
Leng Lingxiao nodded and pressed the answer button.
Sure enough, Wang Jinghui's deep voice came over the phone, but it was just a bit of pride and teasing among friends.
"It took you so long to answer the phone. Isn't it possible that the cat will make a fortune?"
"Stop messing around. Is the knife ready?"
"Oh, it's inconvenient, isn't it? Hahaha, I won't tease you anymore, it's done, take that girl to pick it up tomorrow when you have time, remember to bring a bottle of wine, hand over the wine in one hand, and hand over the knife in the other."
"No problem, where to go?"
"Of course it's my old place, you can't go to my house, it's so far, hahaha."
"Okay, thank you, see you tomorrow."
