The man was dressed in a navy blue robe, full of youthful spirit, with a figure as tall and straight as a pine, holding a long sword, and a majestic appearance, which was no different from Mo Jianchen.
This young man standing tall and tall under the poplar tree is Brother Chen whom he has been waiting for for ten years.
Looking at her painting of Brother Chen under the poplar tree, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, with a slight smile on her face. The painting she painted was something she had seen in her mind countless times.
An imagined situation.
When she was young, she came to this poplar tree countless times and prayed silently in her heart, hoping that it would grow up quickly. Only when it grew up would Brother Chen come back.
She had also imagined countless times in her mind what the grown-up brother Chen would look like when he returned.
Just like that, the handsome young man with a majestic face and handsome hair, stood under the poplar tree with a smile on his face, stared at himself, waved to himself, and said softly to himself: "Sister Zhiqing"
, I’m finally back.”
But she didn't expect that the first time they met, it would be nothing like this. Everything was beyond her expectation, and even his current personality was far beyond her expectation.
At first, she was disappointed with the smooth-tongued Brother Chen because she was different from what she imagined.
But all of this seemed to be full of drama, but even so, he finally recognized him, because no matter how his temper changed, he was still the brother Chen that he could trust and rely on.
Moreover, now that both of them have grown up, he has seen and heard much more than he has. Following him, I feel a little more joyful than when I was a child.
Going round and round, everything is back to where it started. The two people who were best friends when they were young are still the two best friends now. This feels so good.
The soft smile that appeared at the corner of her mouth never disappeared. She stroked the majestic and heroic Mo Jianchen painted on the scroll with her delicate hands. She spoke softly and said calmly: "Brother Chen, what are you talking about?"
What kind of person will he be in the future? Will he become a great martial arts hero like his parents, or will he become a leader in the martial arts arena?"
"Anyway, I know that you are proud and you are definitely not waiting for someone else. If I follow you, I will never suffer a loss. After ten years of separation, you can still come back to my side and accompany me. I can still do it.
It feels so good to rely on you like I did when I was little!"
As she spoke, the autumn water in her eyes shone slightly, and the smile at the corner of her mouth became thicker.
"Sister!"
Suddenly hearing He Lingfeng's voice calling him, Du Zhiqing was startled and quickly covered the painting with a handkerchief. He could not let others see his painting.
He Lingfeng walked over slowly and asked her, "Senior sister, you are here alone."
"Well, that's right." Du Zhiqing nodded: "I have nothing to do. I am just here to entertain myself for a while. Why are you back so soon today?"
He Lingfeng said: "All the preparations for the Heroes Competition have been completed. We are all back. There is nothing to do now. We are just waiting for the competition to start in three days."
"Then..." Du Zhiqing's eyes rolled slightly, then he raised his eyes and asked He Lingfeng: "Brother Chen, they should be finished over there, right?"
After hearing her words, He Lingfeng's heart sank, and his eyes dimmed a little, with a slight sourness in his eyes: "Senior Sister, why did you start asking all the questions about Senior Brother Mo?
Ah, do you really want to see him that much?"
Naturally, no one could see through her thoughts. She just pursed her lips slightly and said with an indifferent chuckle: "I don't want to see him much. I just haven't seen him for such a long time and I miss him a little bit."
, I don’t know what’s going on with him lately, and there’s no one to play with me when he’s not here.”
At this moment, Mo Jianchen happened to pass by the courtyard on his way back to Ya'an Hall. When he saw Du Zhiqing sitting on the stone bench, he stopped and stopped there.
It was obvious that He Lingfeng was also here, so he did not go forward, but just stood behind a tree and looked at the two of them.
From his position, he could only see two people talking and laughing, but he could not hear what they were saying.
He Lingfeng took a gentle breath and said to Du Zhiqing: "But senior sister, if senior brother Mo is not here, I can accompany you. Doesn't it have to be him?"
As soon as he finished saying this, he realized something was wrong, so he added another sentence: "Aren't you senior brothers who are also here all the time? Isn't it enough for us to accompany you?"
"Hey, that's different." Du Zhiqing shook his head and denied: "You are you, my brother is my brother, Brother Chen is Brother Chen, how can they be compared? No one can replace the other."
As she spoke, she gently raised the corners of her mouth and smiled cleverly: "Now, only when I am with Brother Chen can I have the most fun. It feels like I have returned to my carefree childhood."
Seeing Du Zhiqing's appearance, He Lingfeng had a hint of sadness in his eyes, lowered his head and said nothing.
In fact, there are some things that Du Zhiqing has always understood in his heart, but he just didn't say them to He Lingfeng.
He Lingfeng has always been very kind to her and dotes on her, and she knows this.
This junior brother has always doted on her. He is two years older than her but still calls her senior sister. He never has any reason for being nice to her. In her heart, this junior brother's position is also particularly important. Although she is not related by blood, she still calls her senior sister.
They have become more like relatives.
But compared to Mo Jianchen, his temperament is a bit dull. He usually does what he says and does what he is asked to do. He never disobeys.
He didn't have Mo Jianchen's weird tricks that could arouse her excitement and happiness, and all he did was silently treat her well. This way, she would inevitably feel that being with him would be a bit boring.
Although Mo Jianchen is not as obedient to him as him, he has a lot of ideas and can come up with all kinds of interesting things to make himself happy. Therefore, as far as Du Zhiqing is concerned, he still prefers to spend more time with Mo Jianchen.
It's just that she can't tell He Lingfeng these thoughts, for fear that he will feel uncomfortable after hearing it. He is a good person to her no matter what, but his nature is like this. She can't hurt someone who is good to her for no reason.
heart of.
"Oh, you haven't said anything yet." Du Zhiqing stood up again and asked with some earnestness like He Lingfeng: "Have you seen Brother Chen? When will he finish all those things and come to play with me?
"
He Lingfeng just sighed softly and said solemnly: "I don't know about Senior Brother Mo's side. My master and my wife's side is already finished, and his side is probably about to be finished."
"That's good." Du Zhiqing instantly smiled again: "When this period of time passes, he can also take time to accompany me. I am really looking forward to the day of the Heroes Competition, then we can participate together!"
"Oh, by the way, senior sister." He Lingfeng looked at the sky and then said to Du Zhiqing: "Master, my wife asked me to go back to the bamboo hall in a while. They said there is a big event for heroes and they want to remind us. Senior sister, won't you go back with me?
"
Du Zhiqing looked at the sky and shook his head: "I don't want to go back so early. I want to stay here for a while. There are still three days for the Heroes Competition. Don't be so anxious. If you have anything to do, I'll go back tonight and listen to my parents.
.”
"If you are in a hurry to go back, then go ahead and I will go back later."
"Well... okay then." Seeing that Du Zhiqing had no intention of leaving, He Lingfeng had no choice but to agree: "Then I'll go back."
After he said that, he left the yard. After seeing him go away, Du Zhiqing saw that there was no one here, so he planned to take off the handkerchief covering the scroll.
But unexpectedly, before her hand could touch the handkerchief, she heard the call of "Sister Zhiqing".
She couldn't help being startled, and the slender hand withdrew like a spring. She quickly turned around and saw Mo Jianchen walking towards her with a smile on his face.
She was surprised and happy for a moment. She quickly stood up, her voice raised a few degrees, and she said happily: "Brother Chen, it's you, why are you here?"
Mo Jianchen walked into her gradually and said with a smile: "Didn't I just finish the Heroes Competition and then return to Luanxiang Pavilion? As soon as I passed by, I saw you here, so I came over to see you."
Du Zhiqing raised the corner of his mouth, "When did you come? Why did you come over like a cat without even making a sound? It scared me."
Mo Jianchen raised the corner of his lips: "I have been here a long time ago, but I just saw you talking to Junior Brother He and didn't step forward to disturb you."
He paused, raised his eyebrows slightly, looked sideways at Du Zhiqing, and smiled jokingly: "You haven't seen me for several days. Do you miss me, my sister Zhiqing?"
"Humph, you still know that I am a person." Du Zhiqing snorted softly, looked away, pretending to be dissatisfied, "Ever since we went down to Xiufeng Mountain that day, you have never looked for me again, every day.
Yes, I don’t know where you went.”
"I've been bored here by myself these days, and you didn't even think of me until now!"
"Oh no, I don't want to either." Mo Jianchen walked around Du Zhiqing and said in a deliberately flattering manner: "Why don't I want to come and play with you, but I was dragged by my father to prepare for the Heroes Competition.
These days I go out early and come back late every day, but I can’t spare any time.”
"I've been thinking about you these days. I'm finally done with my work. I came back quickly and came here to find you."
Although he knew he was just talking nice, but hearing what he said, Du Zhiqing's heart was filled with joy. She turned around, gave him a sweet smile, and said sweetly: "That's not bad, you still have a conscience!"
