Chapter 073
Seeing Shen Jiuli coming in, Rong Xian's eyebrows curved, her smile was soft and harmless, like a flower slowly waiting to bloom, and her clear phoenix eyes were filled with moonlight, as bright as fire and bright as bright light: "Jiu Liu."
Shen Jiuliu seemed to be bewitched, and was a little dazed for a moment. It wasn't until the sound of a sword sounded deep in his soul that he woke up. He turned his head away as if to cover up and said: "Xiaoxian, you haven't gone out in the past few days, and you won't let me go." Are you feeling unwell when you go in for a visit?"
"I'm fine." Rong Xian looked a little distracted and said, "I was just too fascinated by a medical book."
To be precise, Rong Xian is addicted to cultivation and cannot extricate herself.
She was healing and repairing at the same time. The feeling of growing stronger little by little was so addictive that Rong Xian lost interest in other things for a while and was too lazy to even deal with it.
Shen Jiuliu: "..." This sounds like an excuse at first sight.
Shen Jiuliu's cold eyebrows were a little more sparkling, and he insisted: "Xiaoxian, tell me the truth."
Rong Xian lowered her eyes to look at him, until Shen Jiuliu was a little at a loss, and then she said in an ethereal voice: "What does Jiuliu want to hear? Do I have to say that I was seriously injured, or that my freedom was restricted and I couldn't leave the house?" ?”
"No, that's not what I meant." Shen Jiuliu explained quickly.
Xiaoxian's breathing was steady and rhythmic, and she didn't look injured at all.
Moreover, the maid at the door also said before that Qingbo did not restrict Xiaoxian's freedom of entry and exit.
Shen Jiuliu was stunned. Since it was not the case, what else did he want to hear?
He just vaguely felt that things were not as simple as Xiaoxian said, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
Seeing the confusion between Shen Jiuliu's brows, Rong Xian decided to step over and said, "I haven't been in good spirits these past few days, so I didn't go out, which made Jiuliu worried."
Shen Jiuliu immediately got off the slope and said, "Xiao Xian, are you in trouble these days?"
Rong Xian rubbed her temples as if she was tired, and said with a slightly gloomy expression, "I'm just tired."
She tilted her head, nodded seriously and affirmatively, and emphasized: "I'm fine, don't think too much if you stay for a long time."
Shen Jiuliu's cold eyes flashed. With Xiaoxian's character, he would never do something that would make people worried without saying hello. Thinking about the previous scene where Xiaoxian went out to see a doctor and felt a little embarrassed, his heart sank. Shen looked straight at Rong Xian and said in a serious tone: "Xiao Xian, you hid something from me."
Rong Xian gave a subtle "Huh" expression, and Shen Jiuliu immediately corrected his attitude, with a serious face and a listening attitude.
"Whether it was last time or this time, Jiu Liu felt that I was hiding something from you." Rong Xian said slowly, with a faint expression of surprise on her face: "So Jiu Liu, you are..."
"I didn't doubt you." Shen Jiuli blurted out and hurriedly proved himself.
Rong Xian then said: "——Think too much?"
Shen Jiuliu: "..."
Shen Jiuliu choked on the same words for the second time and was unable to refute. The inexplicable embarrassment surged into his heart again, and the air became quiet.
The first person to break the silence was Rong Xian. She lowered her eyes and looked at Shen Jiuliu, as if she had been hit hard. Her expression was gloomy, and even her clear eyes were melancholy: "What does Jiuliu want to doubt about me?"
Shen Jiuliu was at a loss and said: "No, no, no, Xiaoxian, I don't doubt you, I'm just worried about you, really."
Rong Xian supported her head and sighed slightly: "Today I feel that Jiu Liu has a great misunderstanding of me."
Instead of reflecting on herself, she said, "In Jiu Liu's heart, I must be a very troublesome person. Otherwise, why would Jiu Liu think too much no matter what happens?"
Shen Jiuliu looked bitter and wanted to explain, but he didn't know what to say.
Fortunately, Rong Xian accepted it as soon as he saw it, and said with a smile: "Is there anything else you want to know now, Jiu Liu?"
Shen Jiuliu asked with some uncertainty: "...Is Xiaoxian really tired?"
Rong Xian's eyes flashed, and she pretended to be stiff and said: "Of course."
Shen Jiuli was silent for a long time. Just when Rong Xian thought that this person believed her story, his dry palm gently fell on her head, and she sighed softly: "Xiao Xian, you can't even lie."
What I said just now was just to change the subject and make him forget about this.
What a silly girl, she obviously never lies, but she still forces herself like this.
Rong Xian was startled for a moment, her soft eyes rarely showed a bit of nervousness, as if she didn't expect that she had been exposed, but her heart was full of fun.
She found Shen Jiuliu very interesting. She deliberately exposed many flaws for him to get to the bottom of, but he was easily fooled by her perfunctory excuses every time.
Shen Jiuliu retracted his hand and subconsciously rubbed his fingertips, which still contained Xiaoxian's warmth.
As if he realized what he was doing, his ears turned slightly red for a moment, and he abruptly changed the subject and asked: "Xiaoxian, can't you tell me?"
Rong Xian lowered her head, with a touch of sadness exuding all over her body, and her voice was full of loneliness: "Jiuru, I'm just in a bad mood. It will be the death anniversary of my relative in half a month, and I..."
She raised her head, her soft eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and a touch of sadness filled the air, making people feel heartache at the first sight.
There was a natural melancholy in the corners of her eyebrows and eyes: "I've been here for a long time, I'm just sad."
Shen Jiuliu looked at the fir tree pattern embroidery at the hem of her skirt, subconsciously touched the purse on her chest, and his eyes darkened: "I'll accompany you."
Xiaoxian is probably from the Yu clan, so the death anniversary of Xiaoxian's relatives may be the death anniversary of his own relatives. He must go back with Xiaoxian to have a look.
He looked at Rong Xian's gentle side face, his heart softened, and his eyes were tender and affectionate.
Xiaoxian, she hides all her unhappiness and pain and carries it herself. How could there be such an attractive person in this world, Xiaoxian, who is gentle and fragile, yet so strong that it makes people heartbroken.
Rong Xian hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."
Shen Jiuliu said impatiently: "Why should we set off?"
She calmed down her emotions, curved her lips, and said calmly: "We'll leave today."
Rong Xian looked at the young man who believed the reason he pulled out casually once again, and an inexplicable emotion flashed in his clear eyes.
She was now certain that it wasn't that Shen Jiuliu was too stupid to find the problem, or that she didn't leave enough flaws, but that Shen Jiuliu subconsciously didn't want to think too much.
He is afraid!
He was afraid that she would be hurt too much, he was afraid that he would not be able to bear the heavy guilt, and he was afraid that he would not be able to accept some cruel truths.
He is deceiving himself.
Realizing this, Rong Xian sneered in her heart and let Shen Jiuliu fool her for the time being.
