Volume 2 Hidden Dragon Has Awakened to Sleep, A Howl Moves Thousand Mountains Chapter 18: What Are Friends?
"Birthday party?"
When Lin Haonan left, Xiao Wei looked at the invitation in her hand, and couldn't help but smile inexplicably on her pretty face. A little sarcasm appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she muttered to herself: "I just hope it's not the Hongmen Banquet."
Then she first opened the invitation letter and read the content written on the paper one by one. Then she put the invitation letter away, then turned around and came to Hua Yuchen's side, seeing that the latter's expression was a little...
It was complicated. She couldn't help but comfort her softly: "Don't think too much. There are some things that you can't get entangled with. In the end, it will only make you more troubled, so why bother?"
Hearing his words, Hua Yuchen sighed deeply, and then said with a forced smile: "Having said that, Yuchen still thanks Sister Weiwei."
In response, Xiao Wei smiled brightly and declined to comment.
Many words don't need to be said clearly, after all, both of them know it well.
Although Hua Yuchen's own cultivation level is indeed not weak, it is still a little inferior to Lin Haonan, who has half a step in the sword sect realm. After all, both of them are young talents with extraordinary talents. If they really fought at that time
If he gets up, I'm afraid it will only be Hua Yuchen who loses in the end.
Xiao Wei saw this. Although she could have refrained from taking action, she still stood up resolutely considering Hua Yuchen's face.
Based on the good relationship between them, Xiao Wei actually likes Hua Yuchen quite a lot. Of course, this is not the kind of love between men and women, but comes from the so-called appreciation.
What's more, compared to Lin Haonan, Xiao Wei is actually more optimistic about Hua Yuchen. Whether it is internal or external, the latter is not the slightest bit better than the former.
After a while, Xiao Wei slowly lost her sharpness and returned to the charming and irresponsible look of the past. She thought about it, then smiled and said to Hua Yuchen: "Sister, I can trouble Hua about something.
Brother, can you help me?"
After hearing these words, Hua Yuchen felt a little confused, but he still said solemnly: "Sister Weiwei, if you need help with anything, just tell me, I'm obligated to do so."
"Well!"
So, Xiao Wei clasped her hands together and said excitedly: "I'll ask Brother Hua to go with me to the birthday banquet of Master Lin the day after tomorrow."
"What? This..."
Hearing this, Hua Yuchen couldn't help but feel a hint of astonishment on his face. He thought it was some big deal, but he didn't expect it to be like this. For this reason, he looked at Xiao Wei with some embarrassment and stopped talking a few times.
But I couldn't find the words to say no.
After all, he had just said it to death, leaving himself no room for maneuver. However, even if he wanted to refuse something, he really didn't have the nerve to say it out loud.
Furthermore, he had a falling out with Lin Haonan not long ago, but the day after tomorrow, he and Xiao Wei went to his house to eat and drink. This seemed weird and awkward to Hua Yuchen no matter how he thought about it.
It would be okay if it was just this one thing, but deep in Hua Yuchen's heart, there was another thing that made him very resistant to Xiao Wei's request.
In the past, whether it was from aristocratic families that were friendly with him or not, he had never come forward to any invitations to banquets or the like that were handed to him. It was not that he wanted to make the big bosses look bad, but
It was caused by his unspeakable difficulties.
At this moment, Xiao Wei looked at Hua Yuchen's expression and knew everything in her heart. At this point, her companion said with some disappointment: "To be honest, sister's request is too abrupt for you, so I
It’s better to forget it.”
I have to say that Xiao Wei's look of pity is indeed very lethal to men. Even Mo Yi, who had been silent next to him, felt a little unbearable after looking at it.
As Xiao Wei finished speaking, the scene was quiet for a few seconds. Hua Yuchen hesitated again and again, but finally couldn't bear to refuse, and then said with a smile: "Sister Weiwei's request, how can I, as a younger brother, accept it?"
There is reason to refuse.”
Let's not talk about Xiao Wei's rescue today. The former has always been very caring about him, so he has to help Yu Qingyuli.
Regarding Hua Yuchen's words, Xiao Wei asked tentatively: "Don't you force yourself?"
"No problem!"
Hua Yuchen smiled nonchalantly and said: "I have figured it out. If you can only avoid some things, you can't solve the problem."
Hearing these words, Xiao Wei's eyes couldn't help but light up, and she immediately said: "Then we have an agreement."
Hua Yuchen nodded, smiled and said, "It's a deal!"
However, Xiao Wei hesitated for a moment, then turned around and pointed at Mo Yi and said with a smile: "Brother Wuji, you have to come too."
"I?"
When Mo Yi, who was doing nothing at first, heard these words, he was a little confused. Why did these well-spoken words suddenly involve him?
What's more, he has never had any dealings with the Lin family, so what's the point of attending a birthday banquet with a stranger?
At this moment, even Hua Yuchen was a little confused, but just as he was about to speak, Xiao Wei took the lead and said to Mo Yi: "Yes, you want to go too!"
Seeing Mo Yi trying to refuse, Xiao Wei suddenly turned pitiful and said, "Brother Wuji, are you not willing to help me with this small favor?"
Her coquettish tone made people tremble all over, and a tingling sensation arose spontaneously.
Although Xiao Wei's charm was very attractive, it was of no use to Mo Yi. Just when he was about to refuse, he saw Hua Yuchen winking at him.
For this reason, Mo Yi had many excuses, but he couldn't come up with any of them. After all, he still owed Hua Yuchen a favor, so if he really refused, it would be a bit ungrateful.
After thinking about it like this, he had nothing to do in the past two days anyway, so it would be a good idea to follow Xiao Wei and the others to see them.
So, he smiled at the two of them and said, "In that case, it would be better for me to be respectful than to obey."
Hearing this, Xiao Wei couldn't help but giggle on her pretty face, while Hua Yuchen breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Mo Yi would refuse.
…
More than an hour later, Mo Yi and Hua Yuchen were walking back to the store.
"Don't you have anything to ask me?"
For a long time, Hua Yuchen hesitated, but couldn't help but said to Mo Yi.
"how to say!"
Mo Yi put his hands on his back and glanced at the blue sky. He paused first, and then said softly: "Although I am very curious, I, Mo Yi, am not a ignorant person, not to mention that I can see
This is a past event you don't want to recall.
So if I ask, you will definitely tell me, but it will definitely be a kind of harm to you, so why should I ask? Furthermore, in my opinion, picking up other people's wounds is the most harmful thing.
shameless."
Hua Yuchen was deeply touched by Mo Yi's words. He looked at the person in front of him quietly, and then he couldn't help but laugh: "Brother Wuji, I really saw you right. I think the reason why we can become
My friend, maybe this is destined, because you are so similar to me in some aspects."
Hearing his words, Mo Yi smiled slightly, somewhat noncommittal.
"only……"
Hua Yuchen thought for a while and then said: "But I will still tell you about me, because I have figured out one thing, and that is..."
In the void, the breeze blew gently, blowing away all the bad restlessness and complexity. Along with the cheerful conversation all the way, the two of them had returned to the door of the forging shop before they knew it. They looked at each other here.
He smiled, and then walked into the store one after another.
As soon as the two of them stepped into the store, Xiaoyou came towards them: "Young Master, Mr. Wuji, you are back!"
Hua Yuchen, who was in a good mood, stepped forward. He first lifted the items in his hands, and then said with a smile, "Xiaoyou, look what delicious food I brought you?"
"Isn't this wonton noodles? There are also candied haws and so on!"
Xiaoyou glanced at the contents of the bag, then couldn't help but feel a little happy on her pretty face, and immediately said: "Thank you, sir!"
Mo Yi's eyes reflected the joyful looks of the two of them, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
…
At noon, the most central place in the city is where the city lord's palace is located. It is also the most authoritative and representative place in the entire Huadu County.
Stepping into the courtyard, there is a green-gray brick road in the center, and this road points directly to a magnificent pavilion. There are four brown-red doors in each pavilion, and the two middle doors are slightly covered.
.
The diamond-patterned wooden windows in the side yard are also open, making it look very clean and cheerful. In front of the yard, there are several stone benches and stone tables. Three feet away from the stone table, there are thick trees and thick flowers and plants. The seemingly deserted yard
The courtyard actually looked more lively and rustic against the backdrop of flowers, plants and trees. At the moment, there were still a few disturbing bird calls coming from the big trees in the courtyard.
Although the walls here and there are slightly mottled, the free and easy and simple style can still be seen from the small windows built on the walls and the surrounding decorations.
The courtyard is surrounded by red walls, surrounded by green willows, with three hanging flower gates and hand-curved verandahs on all sides. The courtyard is connected by corridors and decorated with rocks, and there is a plaque with the name "Flower Mansion" hanging on the five buildings.
The entire courtyard looks magnificent, graceful and luxurious. The gardens are lush and exquisite. The backyard is full of roses, treasures and a pool. The small streams converge here and flow out of the Grand View Garden. There is a white stone road spanning the top of the small streams. It is so convenient
Can pass to the other side.
In the courtyard, in a wing room, the door is open, and there is an old man sitting cross-legged on the wooden corridor in front of him.
He looked a little lazy, rubbing a few sunspots on his right hand, looking at the chessboard in front of him with bright eyes, thinking about his next move.
