Chapter Thirteen: Midnight Apology

Jin Yunlan was very drunk on the second floor of the restaurant, and Zhu Zhu was dragged by her to prevent him from leaving.

She almost didn't go home for the past three days. She took a room in an inn and stayed out all day and night. She stayed behind closed doors during the day and stayed in restaurants to get drunk at night.

Zhuzhu regretted taking her to take her first sip of wine together. She originally thought that relying on alcohol to stimulate her feelings might inspire inspiration, but after the first taste, the spicy taste directly dissuaded her. As a result,

Turning his face, he saw that Jin Yunlan, who had pulled up his back, had already put half of his head into the wine vat, with his hands on the edge of the wine vat and his feet raised.

Then, the drinking problem got out of hand.

However, the irony is that her drinking capacity is very light, and she does not need to drink three times. She is definitely drunk, and in the worst case, she may even go crazy with alcohol.

Zhuzhu was originally only invited here, but when she saw that she was in a bad state, she quickly made an excuse and wanted to leave.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Jin Yunlan grabbed her sleeve with quick eyes and hands. She didn't say anything to stay. She just turned around and conjured up a book of stories written by Zhuzhu, and read aloud without emotion: "Chu Xinyao"

The ribbon between the two men was untied bit by bit, and the delicate snow-white skin was as clean and soft as water like the moonlight hanging in front of the window at the moment. The clear and bright eyes were dizzy with a sultry look, and the soft arms hooked around his neck.

Surrounded by warm spring water, his remaining sanity is about to be drowned in it..."

Zhuzhu held her forehead, snatched the "weapon" from her hand, and said bitterly: "I really have something to do tonight, the bookseller Lao Sha came to talk to me about business."

Jin Yunlan was unmoved. He turned his wrist and produced a book from nowhere, and started reading again.

Zhuzhu snatched her away again, and Jin Yunlan did the same thing. After a few rounds, Zhuzhu lost her patience, held down her flexible wrist, and said helplessly: "Come on! Stop playing tricks on you, I will accompany you, and I will accompany you to return the favor."

Isn’t it possible?”

Jin Yunlan smiled with satisfaction, "I would have accepted my fate a long time ago. Come on, drink." She placed a wine glass in front of her and filled it for her diligently.

Under her earnest gaze, Zhuzhu frowned and took a swig, then pinched her neck and coughed, "It's so spicy that my throat hurts," she said hoarsely.

Jin Yunlan looked out the window at the dim but bright red and hot lights and laughed twice. The joy on her face seemed to have been washed away by the night and covered with a layer of oppressive gloom.

She suddenly asked melancholy: "Zhuzhu, what would you do if your parents did evil? Should you expose the crime, or should you pretend to be deaf and dumb and act as if nothing happened?"

Zhuzhu raised her eyes and glanced at her, her expression calmed down. She put down her wine glass and asked with insight: "You mean Li family?"

Jin Yunlan looked at her in astonishment: "You also know about this?"

Zhuzhu nodded, "It's not that long before you. My father said this while drunk at home. Although he doesn't hold an important position, he still has a place in the clan association. It's not surprising to know this."

"Then what do you think?" she asked eagerly.

Zhuzhu answered truthfully: "It's pitiful." She paused and said, "But it's just pitiful. I will choose to pretend to be deaf and dumb, because I understand that I can't change this matter by myself."

Jin Yunlan turned his head gloomily and drank a glass of wine distractedly.

Zhuzhu twirled the ink marks on her fingertips, her expression not relaxed, "The Li family has been Jinyun's major concern for thousands of years. We don't know whether they are still a threat. But the prejudices in people's hearts have long been ingrained, and it is not easy to eradicate them."

thing."

Jin Yunlan suppressed her anger and said in a low voice: "If the elders of the clan want to admit their mistakes, I don't believe that the people of Luo City are unable to accept it. They are just trying to save face! Are these false names more important than human lives for the honorable status of being open-mouthed and silent?"

She angrily smashed the wine glass on the ground. The crisp cracking sound dampened the hot atmosphere of the restaurant for a moment.

The waiter thought that his food and drinks were not to the eldest lady's taste, so he licked his smile to apologize.

Yuanman waved to him, took out a broken piece of silver from his sleeve and sent him away. He turned around and said to Jin Yunlan: "I know you are furious, why bother venting your anger on this dead thing. After drinking this glass of wine, go home.

Forgot about this."

"Forgot? How can I forget? You don't know, Li Shi and the others..." Her words stopped abruptly. The drunkenness did not go to her head. She was keenly aware that the next words could not be said to others.

She drank the last bit of wine in the pot and muttered: "If you don't do it, I will."

Zhuzhu looked at her quickly leaving back with confusion and worry, and shook her head helplessly.

The full moon hangs high in the night sky, reaching its peak and reaching its deepest moment.

Li Zhi was awakened by a slight movement.

The bamboo door was blown by the night wind, knocking on the threshold, which seemed especially noisy and disturbing in the quiet night.

He remembered that he had actually bolted the door before going to sleep. What happened?

He stood up and walked out of the room with his sword.

The originally bolted door latch was crooked, and moonlight slipped in through the crack in the door. He squinted and looked outside the crack in the door, and vaguely saw a figure sitting in the corridor in front of the door.

"Who is it?" he whispered alertly.

The figure swayed, and at that moment, a gust of wind came in cleverly, blowing the two doors open suddenly.

The bamboo door was wide open, and Li Zhi walked out slowly. He tilted his head and glanced at the true appearance of this uninvited guest.

This man was holding two pots of gardenias in his arms. He was sitting on the porch of his house, his eyes were distracted, and there were two dry tears on his face.

Li Zhi suddenly frowned and tentatively said a name: "Jinyunlan?"

Jin Yunlan raised her head and gave him a haggard smile: "Good evening.

"Why don't you feel the heart seal..." Before he could finish his words, he vaguely smelled the aroma of wine mixed with gardenia. His brows furrowed even more tightly, "You ran up the mountain at night and got drunk? Are you still conscious?"

Jin Yunlan lowered his head, listless.

He went back to the house and took out an antidote, put it into Jin Yunlan's palm, and said, "Leave quickly."

Jin Yunlan just went her own way. She held up the two pots of gardenias in her arms, stretched them out in front of Li Zhi, and said apologetically: "These are for you."

Li Zhi crossed his arms and looked down at her, not wanting to pay attention to her farce.

The two looked at each other and were in a stalemate for a while. He raised his hand in surrender and took it impatiently, "Okay, I'll take it. You can go."

"I've found out the truth. It's absolutely true. It's our fault. I'm sorry." She said hoarsely.

Li Zhi was startled.

She lowered her devastated head, clasped her hands, and confessed: "I have been troubled for a long time, and I have been unable to do anything. I have fully found out the truth. My tribe has committed a heinous crime against you, which is far more than what I have experienced in the three days in Kongshan."

He knows ten thousand times more.

But Jinyun is the tribe that gave birth to me and raised me. As I bear the surname of Jinyun, I will never forget my roots. I also wanted to convince myself that I could pretend to be ignorant like other tribesmen, and then live in my comfortable home in Luo City with peace of mind.

But when I think of you, and when I think of a group of people who are suffering because of us, I can't just sit back and watch.

You are the most powerful ethnic group in the world, ranking first in "The Legend of Ten Thousand Tribes". All of your tribesmen are talented, brave and good at fighting, and have attracted the attention and admiration of the world. But because of us... you have fallen into such an embarrassing situation. You

How much I hate it."

She held the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands. With the encouragement of alcohol, she poured out all the anxious and tormented feelings in her heart these days, pouring out the depression that had clogged her heart.

Li Zhi opened his palms and covered the lower half of his face. His pair of deep blue eyes danced with strange emotions in the moonlight.

"Yeah. I hate you so much. I want to skin you and cramp you in my dreams."

He squatted down and quietly pinched the back of Jin Yunlan's neck with his right hand, forcing her to turn her head and look directly at his murderous and cruel look, "So you came here specifically to let me vent my anger?"

He lightly touched the wound on her waist and greeted dangerously, "The scar is healed, have you forgotten the pain?"

Seeing his threatening expression, Jin Yunlan's eyelashes trembled in fear.

His slender fingers rubbed slowly on her slender neck, gradually moving around to the front, and strangled her throat gently. He sighed coldly: "Life is so fragile. It will disappear with just a slight force."

Already."

He turned around and found a pair of hands sneaking up on his shoulders.

Was the target his throat?

This is decent.

Crying and saying sorry, it sounds fake no matter how you listen to it.

It is only right for Li and Jinyun to wield their swords at each other.

He waited for her counterattack as if nothing had happened, wanting to see her wonderful counterattack.

But contrary to expectations, she didn't strangle him by the throat as he expected, she just patted his shoulder as if to lull him to sleep, as if to drive away the anger and hatred that was eroding his heart.

"I'm really sorry. If my life can heal the hatred in your hearts, then I will be willing to sacrifice it." She closed her eyes as if she were dead, tears leaking from the corners of her eyes.

Li Zhi finally couldn't help but twitch the corners of her bitter lips and let go of her.

"Arrogant guy."

He muttered this to the woman who fell at his feet, drowned in alcohol and completely drunk.

Li Tang held an oil lamp and appeared quietly beside the two of them, asking: "What are you going to do with her? Send her back?"

Li Zhi turned her face and stared at him: "You go."

Li Tang scratched his face and thanked Bu Min.

At this time, Li's mother's gentle voice came from behind: "Why don't you move her into my room and sleep with me?"

Li Zhi thought for a moment and then objected: "No. This girl is very dangerous. She is unconscious at the moment. Once she goes berserk like last time, there is no way my mother can resist her. It is better to place her at my place temporarily."

Li Tang's intriguing eyes immediately turned to him.

Li Zhi added: "I'll sleep in your room."

"Then where should I sleep?"

"You sleep with me."

"..."

There are two more pots of gardenias brought by Jin Yunlan at the door. They are roaming tirelessly in the night wind, spreading their rich and warm fragrance wantonly.

Li Zhi temporarily placed the drunk and unconscious Jin Yunlan on his bed.
