The candlelight flickered in the dim light. There was a faint fragrance in the room.
"It's late at night!" Lu Heng yawned, stood up, and said to the woman.
"Where are you going?" Bai Suyan, who was lying on the bed with her clothes on, opened her eyes nervously and saw Lu Heng holding a thin quilt under his arms and preparing to go out. He couldn't help but be stunned.
, sat up and asked.
"Oh, I made an agreement with the waiter to spend the night in his room. Well, you can sleep.
Don't forget to lock the door!" Lu Heng turned around, smiled at Bai Suyan, and walked out.
"You!" When Bai Suyan saw the scholar walking out, a trace of hesitation flashed in her eyes. Just when she was about to speak, she endured the shyness in her heart and invited him to come over and spend the night together, but she saw that the door had been closed.
.
Looking at the red candle swaying on the table in the empty room, although the woman breathed a sigh of relief, she felt a little bit disappointed.
She stared blankly at the tearful dog Red Candle, looking at the dim candlelight, and couldn't help but feel a little crazy.
The next day, the sun shines through the window and shines on the ground, casting a dazzling light spot.
Lu Heng suddenly woke up, sat up, stretched, and smelled the faint scent of vegetation in the room. He couldn't help but smile and admire: I guess Tao Yuanming's home was like this back then.
Otherwise, where does that strong pastoral flavor come from?
Last night, I told Bai Suyan that it was sheer nonsense to spend the night with the waiter in the shop.
The waiter slept in the lobby. Naturally, I couldn't squeeze in with others.
Fortunately, I had the foresight. Before a few monks came to book a room at night, I booked this woodshed with firewood with the waiter.
Not to mention, sleeping in this woodshed feels pretty good except for being a little cold at night.
After rubbing his face that was numb from the cold wind, Lu Heng finally stood up after waking up for a while. After casually patting the grass clippings off his body, he moved towards the door while doing stretching exercises.
Go.
With a push, there was a bang and the door panel fell sideways.
Looking at the door panel that instantly shattered into a pile of powder, Lu Heng's contented smile suddenly froze on his face.
Guiltily, he looked around and saw no one in the yard. Lu Heng quickly gathered his clothes and ran out in a hurry.
Damn, building such a broken door is simply blackmail!
As Lu Heng ran, he cursed fiercely in his heart.
On the second floor of the inn, behind the slightly opened window, Bai Suyan stood there quietly. Through the gap in the window, she could clearly see everything happening in the yard.
At some point, her misty beautiful eyes were filled with tears.
Seeing the scholar glance around mischievously, he fled in a hurry. Bai Suyan wanted to laugh, but found tears in her eyes flowing down instantly.
"You" Bai Suyan looked angrily at the scholar downstairs who had already run to the door. She raised her hand and gently wiped away the tears on her face. She pouted and wanted to say something, but found that her heart was sad.
It’s amazing. I can’t even say anything.
How dare you lie to me!
Bai Suyan wiped her tears and started sobbing involuntarily while speaking.
The sun was shining brightly in the morning, so the two of them walked along the street, following the crowd, toward the outside of Xiangyang City. Since they were lucky enough to encounter a martial arts conference, how could they not go and watch it?
The venue for the martial arts conference is a Taoist temple that is well-known in the local area. The Taoist temple is called Guanshan Temple, which is a very poetic name.
Lu Heng, who ran away in a hurry because of a hit-and-run accident in the morning, naturally didn't eat. Now, being exposed to the sun, he suddenly felt a little dizzy. After walking for a while, he saw someone buying snacks on the roadside. The hungry Lu Heng thought about going there.
Eat something.
"Would you like to come?" He turned around and asked Mr. Bai next to him. Unexpectedly, just halfway through speaking, he saw Mr. Bai's face turned cold. He looked at him with an extremely indifferent look and turned towards a snack shop across the street.
Spread away.
With that indifferent expression, he actually didn't want to say a word to Lu Heng.
…,
The smile on Lu Heng's face was a little stiff.
He looked at Mr. Bai's resolute back, and felt a little indescribable in his heart.
Huh, what's going on?
Lu Heng stood there and did not follow him. He just looked at Mr. Bai quietly, feeling a little helpless and a little angry.
I don't know what happened to him today. From the moment we met in the morning until now, he has always looked cold and cold. As if he was an enemy that he wanted to get rid of quickly.
Several times, Lu Heng tried to open up the conversation and resolve the awkward atmosphere. Unexpectedly, he encountered a soft nail every time.
Including this time, it has been five or six times.
Even though Lu Heng had an indifferent nature, he was also a little annoyed. Looking at the woman's frosty expression along the way, he really couldn't figure out what the woman was thinking.
He thought, forget it, leave her alone. However, when he raised his head, he saw the woman sitting there, not eating, but in a daze. Lu Heng couldn't let go.
Could it be that something happened in her family that made her so unkind? Ha, that must be the case!
I comforted myself so much in my heart that I just used unrealistic excuses to convince myself.
In the end, he shook his head helplessly, smiled bitterly, and walked over.
"What's wrong? What happened at home?" Lu Heng took out a few copper coins and asked for 20,000 blunts. He turned around and looked at Bai Suyan with concern, and asked in a warm voice.
Mr. Bai turned his head, his face full of frost, looked at him indifferently, and then turned his head away.
Lu Heng was a little confused and a little annoyed. He was not a nosy person in his life, nor was he a person who liked to comfort others. This time, he followed Bai Suyan to Yizhou.
The reason was even funny to him.
Could it be that he was just moved by the woman's tears by the Qinhuai River?
Feeling a little funny in his heart, Lu Heng shook his head and smiled bitterly. Why the hell am I here!
Looking up and looking at the woman's cold expression, Lu Heng felt even more exhausted both physically and mentally.
"What's wrong with you?" The smile on Lu Heng's face finally dissipated. He leaned lazily on the table, tilted his head, and looked at Mr. Bai.
Seeing Mr. Bai turning his head, with tears in his eyes, staring at him quietly, his cold look was so determined.
"You don't have to worry about it!" Mr. Bai glanced at him mercilessly and replied with extreme indifference.
Lu Heng felt something in his heart. After taking a deep breath, he forced himself not to look at her eyes. The look in her eyes was like the ice of winter: "You and I have walked all the way, and I ask myself that I have not offended the young master in any way."
.Why is the young master so indifferent?"
"Is it that I'm making you uneasy, or are you too worried about gains and losses, sir? Do you think I have an ulterior motive in approaching you, or what?" I didn't sleep well last night. Being sleepy, I was naturally not in a particularly good mood. Now.
Meeting Mr. Bai's cold and rude accusation again, Lu Heng's tone became even colder.
"Ask yourself!" Mr. Bai finally spoke, but his tone was very stiff. With tears in her eyes, she stared at Lu Heng with blazing anger and asked coldly.
"Ha, Mr. Bai, what you said makes me very funny!" Lu Heng took a sip of tea and replied bluntly: "You and I met by chance, just like those five duckweeds.
There is no fundamental connection. If Mr. Bai doesn’t like Mr. Lu, he can leave at any time. Mr. Lu is definitely not the kind of person who is shameless. He must suffer like this with Mr. Bai!"
"An unexpected encounter? Rootless duckweed?" Mr. Bai's face suddenly became extremely ugly. He stared at Lu Heng and asked word by word: "Is this what you are thinking?"
"Don't you think so, Mr. Bai?" Lu Heng replied coldly.
"That's what I think, so what?" Mr. Bai's words were equally cold. So cold that it made people feel extremely cold.
After hearing this, Lu Heng felt a little sad. He sighed with a bitter smile and scolded himself for being a bitch.
He threw down a few coins casually, paid the waiter's bill, stood up, smiled at Mr. Bai and said, "Even so, there is no need for you and I to go down together, and Lu doesn't want to be in the way anymore."
Young Master’s eyes are wide open. Young Master Bai…”
Lu Heng paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and said with a fist to Mr. Bai, "Mr. Bai, take care! Lu takes leave!"
After quietly taking a look at Bai Suyan, Lu Heng smiled bitterly, shook his head, turned around and walked into the crowd on the street.
Behind her, Bai Suyan, who was sitting blankly on the chair, trembled, tears streaming down her face.
The familiar laughter could no longer be heard. Only the roar of the pale crowd could be heard in my ears. It was like a sharp sword, mercilessly scratching the scar on my heart.
She raised her head and looked for Lu Heng, who had disappeared in the vast sea of people. Her heart suddenly became a mess.
I, what was I just saying! How could I do this!
He, he must hate me to death!
Thinking of Lu Heng's flash of heartache in his eyes before he left, Bai Suyan's face suddenly turned pale. She stood up suddenly, pulled out her tui and rushed into the crowd, trying to find the scholar. She said to him
Apologize. Say sorry.
However, in the vast sea of people, the light green figure, like a wave rising in the sea, has disappeared.
Pedestrians passed by each other in a hurry. Bai Suyan just stood on the street, looking at everything in front of her with a pale face, her eyes soaked with tears. The tears falling down her cheeks were like crystal pearls.
It dripped on the ground and splashed into pieces. Lu Heng stood on the vast street, looking at the endless flow of people around him.
For a moment, I didn't even know where I was going.
Thinking of the messy things that happened today, I felt a wave of boredom in my heart.
