Frost shines on Qingcheng

Lu Qingrong sat kneeling on the shore, holding her hands to her chest and panting continuously, the feeling of oppression and suffocation in the water has not completely dissipated.She looked to her side, and there was still Shen Shuangzhao's coat on the board.She looked at the lake again, only to see Shen Shuangzhao struggling to swim towards the floating mask.

From Lu Qingrong's point of view, she really couldn't understand why Shen Shuangzhao was so obsessed with a broken mask.If she really loves someone so much, she just goes to find her. Is it useful to keep a mask?

Shen Shuangzhao caught the mask and swam back. After landing panting, she lay down beside Lu Qingrong.She squinted her eyes and looked at the sky, her left hand wrapped with a red string was particularly conspicuous as she held the mask.

Lu Qingrong came over and asked, "Is the thing she gave you so important?"

Shen Shuangzhao glanced at the face hanging above her head, and answered without hesitation: "Yes."

"Then if she finds out that you have belittled other girls many times, won't she be pissed off?" Lu Qingrong said lightly.

Shen Shuangzhao slowly straightened up, with her palms resting on her sides, she raised her eyebrows: "It's not just because of anger? She probably has to beat me several times, and the man's body must be broken into pieces to relieve her anger."

"Do you also like people with such a bad temper?"

Hearing what she said, Shen Shuangzhao actually laughed, locked her eyes, and deliberately asked: "Then... Miss Lu thinks who has the worse temper, you or her?"

Lu Qingrong glared at her, feeling inexplicably depressed: "Who cares to compare with your 'her'."

Shen Shuangzhao put away her smile, stood up holding the mask, and looked down at Lu Qingrong: "Miss Lu is much more docile than her when kissing."

Hearing this, Lu Qingrong's hands went around looking for something that could hit people, but unfortunately, except for a puddle of water, the surrounding area was so clean that there wasn't even a pebble.She gritted her teeth and said, "Do you really think I dare not tear your mouth apart?"

Shen Shuangzhao fled away in a hurry, ignoring her words, and said: "It's windy outside, Miss Lu is going to catch a cold."

Lu Qingrong gritted his teeth with hatred, if it wasn't for the fact that she rescued herself from the water and was the city lord, she would have stepped forward to strangle this bastard to death.

Resting on the spot for a while, Lu Qingrong couldn't help but think of Shen Shuangzhao's words again.Kissing... She touched her lips with her fingertips, and the indescribable feeling just now seemed to be still there.

She closed her eyes, and she vaguely saw that she had pressed her lips together first, and the person who was shocked and at a loss was obviously Shen Shuangzhao.Lu Qingrong opened her eyes suddenly, but the weird picture disappeared.She stood up and sighed heavily. What strange things were in her mind?

The door was closed tightly, Lu Qingrong knocked on the door: "I came in?"

"Just come in." Shen Shuangzhao's voice came from inside through the door.

Lu Qingrong opened the door and went in, and within a few steps, she saw Shen Shuang shining on her/naked back facing her, and there was a light red birthmark like a three-petal flower printed on her white and beautiful butterfly bone.This pattern... Lu Qingrong frowned, so familiar, but she couldn't remember where she saw it.She looked down and clearly saw the scar she mentioned before on the center of Shen Shuangzhao's waist.

"My body is so good-looking? Miss Lu didn't say a word. Even if I didn't turn around, I could still feel Miss Lu's fiery gaze." Shen Shuangzhao changed into a gauze dress and hastily buttoned it.

"Are you so frivolous to other girls?" Lu Qingrong asked back.

Shen Shuangzhao turned around leisurely, and walked towards her slowly, with a very ambiguous tone: "I definitely won't take a second look at other girls. Either look at 'her', or... a beauty like Miss Lu."

Lu Qingrong's hair was wet, and there were still some wet drops of water on her eyelashes. She coldly rolled her eyes at Shen Shuang: "Don't say that, if Luo Qi listens to it someday, I'm afraid I'll be caught She was cut to pieces."

"Don't mention her." Shen Shuangzhao's face turned gloomy all of a sudden, and her tone became heavier.

As if catching her braid, Lu Qingrong continued: "If she knows that you have hidden a girl on this island, according to her temperament, you may have to bear it if she goes back."

Shen Shuangzhao stared at her with a ferocious expression, it was really a jerk to say these words from Lu Qingrong's mouth.She stared at her with a sarcastic tone: "Are you going to inform? Go..."

Seeing her serious face seemed to be angry, Lu Qingrong said: "You are only allowed to tease me, why don't you allow me to joke?"

Shen Shuangzhao laughed back in anger, picked up her coat and put it on: "Your joke is too cruel, it's not funny at all. The clean clothes are on the bed, you change them yourself." After saying that, she threw it away without looking back. Lu Qingrong was alone.

Looking at the folded clothes on the bed, Lu Qingrong felt sore in her heart.In the past few years, her mood has always been calm, and there are very few people or things that can make her feel at a loss as she is now.She frowned tightly, her mind was in a mess, maybe she shouldn't have come to Shuilan City from the beginning.

What can happen in that year?So what if the bell is on Shen Shuangzhao's body?If she really met someone important and something unforgettable happened, how could she forget it so easily?I can't remember a single bit of it.It's ridiculous.She should go back to Shahai and stay away from this inexplicable Shen Shuangzhao.

After making up his mind, Lu Qingrong changed out of his wet clothes and went to the study to look for Shen Shuangzhao.

Shen Shuangzhao hugged her knees, leaned against the railing outside the study, thinking about the lake.Lu Qingrong stopped behind her, and said to her, "It's no use staying here, I'm leaving. If you don't want to pick what's in your hand, then that's all."

Originally thought that Shen Shuangzhao would have some reaction, but after he finished talking for a long time, Shen Shuangzhao still looked absent-minded, let alone talking.

"Shen Shuangzhao..." Lu Qingrong became irritable again inexplicably, she really hated the feeling of being led by her emotions.

"I can't stop you if you want to leave. I promised to tell you a story earlier, hum..." Shen Shuangzhao smiled very lightly, "Actually, there is no so-called story to tell, everything——is just me. It's just my own wishful thinking. Lu Qingrong, let's go..."

"You..." Lu Qingrong felt like a stick in her throat, she wanted to say something but felt that everything she said was wrong.After hesitating again and again, she walked away angrily.

Shen Shuangzhao buried half of her face between her arms, but the corners of her eyes narrowed slyly.

After a while, she heard hurried footsteps as expected.

"You send me out." Lu Qingrong said.

Only then did Shen Shuangzhao stand up, and looked at her calmly: "If you didn't leave just now, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave today."

"why?"

"Because soon, the maids delivering dinner in the city will come over, including Luo Qi's confidantes. If you go out, you will meet them halfway. The young master of Shahai is having a private meeting with the city master on the island—— If you wish, these words will soon reach Luo Qi's ears, and then you and I will have a hard time." Shen Shuangzhao paced around her, analyzing each word with clarity.

Lu Qingrong nodded: "You guys have figured it out a long time ago, it will be like this."

"Why did you say that?" Shen Shuang smiled, "If Miss Lu doesn't turn back, she can obviously leave. The guards guarding the island are not your opponents at all."

"You know that I can't swim, let alone row a boat..." Lu Qingrong stopped talking halfway, and put away the topic, "Forget it, I don't want to get angry with you."

There was only a small boat parked on the shore, Lu Qingrong didn't know water skills, just fell into the water again, and felt afraid of the water in her heart.How can she go out by boat alone?Shen Shuang said that she was going to let her go, but in fact, she had expected that she would come back.It's really a "good kindness".

……

"Why don't you come and have a drink together?" Shen Shuangzhao sat on the stone bench outside the study, rolled up her sleeves and filled a glass of wine.

Lu Qingrong sat down opposite her, looked at the wine in the glass but remained unmoved.

"You haven't eaten or drunk all day, so you have to eat this meal, right?" Shen Shuangzhao picked up a chopstick and put it in her bowl, "Look, if you don't eat, I'm taller than you. "

Lu Qingrong squeezed the wine glass and drank it down: "Really?"

Shen Shuangzhao stood up: "We haven't seen each other for several years, Miss Lu probably didn't notice this. If you don't believe me, how about Bibi?"

"The city owner is a childish ghost." Lu Qingrong "cursed" her, completely ignoring Shen Shuangzhao's words.

Shen Shuangzhao sat down indifferently, and pressed the white porcelain wine glass to her lips.She lowered her eyes, and all she could think of was Lu Qingrong who would stroke her head and gently say that she was not as tall as her.She frowned, now she is taller than her, but what about her?But it is so cold, let alone these precious memories belonging to the two of them.She closed her eyes and swallowed the wine and bitterness together.

Lu Qingrong took a bite of the dish, chewed it slowly and asked, "Before you said you wanted to tell me a story, why haven't you mentioned it these two days?"

"There is nothing to say. It may be very important to me, but to others, I think it may be extremely boring."

Lu Qingrong: "Then let's not talk about it. Let me ask you, how did you and I meet?"

Hearing this, Shen Shuangzhao suddenly stopped picking up vegetables, put down her chopsticks, and didn't know how to answer.

"Huh?" Lu Qingrong also stopped, and the evening wind blew from the lake, brushing their hair intentionally or unintentionally.

Shen Shuangzhao raised her eyes, and accidentally met Lu Qingrong's gaze.She held hands tightly, and the two of them looked at each other in Qingcheng seven years ago - on the first side, she was the "assassin" in Zhao Yueyao's palace, and she was Zhao Yueyao's honored guest; on the second side, she was hiding in Lingyan House On the third side... Shen Shuangzhao shook her head slightly, she remembered every time they met very clearly, but the more she was like this, the more tortured she was now .She couldn't recall anymore, otherwise she was afraid that she would cry in front of Lu Qingrong.

"Why don't you talk? Is there something shady about this?" Lu Qingrong saw that her expression was wrong, and guessed that Shen Shuangzhao was deliberately hiding something.

"There is nothing you can't see. It's been too long, and I have forgotten how we met." Shen Shuangzhao looked away, poured another glass of wine for herself, drank it all, then filled it up and drank it down...

Lu Qingrong was very disappointed with her answer, but the more so, the more she felt that Shen Shuangzhao did know something, but she didn't want to say it.Why don't you want to say it?She looked at Shen Shuangzhao drinking non-stop, what does this have to do with herself?

The sunset glow in the sky became more and more gorgeous as the sun went down, so gorgeous that it seemed to be burning.Lu Qingrong also took a sip, was she ever so troubled and melancholy before?

-------------------------------------------------- ------------

On the same night, the atmosphere in the main hall of Shuilan City was extremely solemn.

Jingyu knelt on the ground and carefully reminded Luo Qi: "My lord, the suzerain has been kneeling outside the hall since noon."

"So what?" Luo Qi asked indifferently, without a trace of emotion.

Jingyu's head lowered even more: "If you kneel down like this again, the servants are worried that the suzerain's body will not be able to bear it."

"Can't stand it?" Luo Qi sneered, "A big man can't stand it like this, what use is he?"

Jingyu kept silent, not daring to speak any more.

Luo Qi let out a long breath and said, "Let him in."

"Yes."

Luo Ji stumbled in and fell to his knees: "Sister..."

Luo Qi glanced at him: "Unshaven, look at you, you don't even look like a suzerain!"

"Sister, I beg you to return You'er to me." Luo Ji's face was haggard, and he didn't look like the handsome young master back then.

"You'er is doing well with me, and I will take her back to Bihai City when the time comes." Luo Qi said indifferently.

"Cai'er has not seen her for a long time. She is in poor health these few days, and she has not seen You'er. I am very worried. I am afraid that Cai'er will miss her..." Luo Ji couldn't hide the worry in his heart. Almost cried bitterly.

"Useless stuff." Luo Qi scolded him mercilessly.

Luo Ji didn't care about these things, and begged bitterly: "You'er is so young, she should have stayed with us..."

"Are you blaming me?" Luo Qi raised his eyebrows.

"Your brother absolutely dare not. It's just... just can you let Cai'er see You'er? It's fine to go back to Bihai City without You'er, can you let Cai'er come to Shuilan City?" Water Lan City took a step.

"No!" Before he finished speaking, Luo Qi resolutely refused.If Cai'er came, if she ran into Shen Shuangzhao, wouldn't it be...
