Yi Xiao bid farewell to the middle-aged monk, and walked slowly towards Lin Xiu's room.

Lin Xiu closed the door, but the window was open. Yi Xiao stood in front of the window and poked his head around. He was surprised to see that this person was not practicing or reading, but was sitting alone at the table.There was a game of chess on the table, and he played with his left hand and his right hand.From Yi Xiao's point of view, he could be seen sitting there upright, with a bell-like posture and a straight back.The eyelids were slightly lowered, but there was still no expression on his face.

Yi Xiao felt intuitively that he was unhappy.

Cough, it's a bit wicked to say that, seeing Lin Xiu unhappy, he's... quite happy.

He cleared his throat and said with a smile, "What's the point of playing chess with yourself? Why don't you call me?"

Lin Xiu's body was slightly stiff, her lips pursed unconsciously, and her fingers squeezed the chess piece tightly, her voice was light and soft: "Mr. Yi is busy with personnel, so I won't bother you."

Yi Xiao opened the door and went in, moved a chair and sat down next to him, saying: "It's not busy, but it's just that we rarely get together, it's also fate."

"Besides, they all have good personalities and are suitable to be friends."

Lin Xiu thought, yes, he is the only one who is not easy-going here.

Yi Xiao rested her chin on one hand, turned her head to look at him, and said with a smile, "Are you angry again?"

Lin Xiu was so uncomfortable being watched by him, his eyes were fixed on the chessboard, and he said firmly: "No. It's just that since you have made new friends, why don't you continue talking and laughing with them?"

After all, remembering what Yi Xiao said, he talked too much when he was angry, and he couldn't help being a little annoyed, and when he thought about the content of his words, he felt more and more uncomfortable.

Yi Xiao listened to his suspicious words, but didn't care about them at all, and said happily: "New friends are important, but you are also important."

Lin Xiu said, "Because I'm also your friend?"

"Yes." Yi Xiao nodded, and suddenly asked, "Why do you keep staring at the chessboard? Is there any mystery in it?"

Lin Xiu shook her head, silently put away the chess pieces, thinking, yes, he is just one of Yi Xiao's friends.

But Yi Xiao is his only friend.

He didn't know what went wrong, Yi Xiao could become friends with just a few casual conversations, but he couldn't.

He can feel the kindness of others, and he can talk to others calmly, but if he is a friend, he will feel repelled.

He subconsciously believes that only when the friendship reaches the level of him and Yi Xiao can he be considered a friend.

So, Yi Xiao can be friends with anyone, does it mean that in Yi Xiao's heart, he is the same as those people he just met?

That uncomfortable feeling came back again, Lin Xiu frowned slightly, stood up, said politely but distantly: "I'm going to rest."

It was still very early, no one would rest so early, let alone Lin Xiu.

So the implication of this sentence is actually, I don't want to talk to you anymore.

Yi Xiao was still looking at him, looking at his frosty face and straight spine, his dark and bright eyes flashed an untimely joyful light.

He thought, he is really bad, he actually likes to see Lin Xiu angry.

He is not Lin Xiu, Lin Xiu doesn't know what went wrong, he knows.

He could have stopped it, but he didn't.

Why stop it?He thought, Lin Xiu was not unhappy.

So out of his own mind, he wanted to get closer to Lin Xiu, so he found topics to chat with him; if he wanted to treat Lin Xiu well, he took care of people in every possible way.He let that kind of strange feeling grow, so that kind of ambiguity is like the moss nourished by the rain in the rainy season, and it quickly covered every corner.

When did it start?that's not important.It may have been a month ago, they were unfortunately caught in the rain in the barren mountains and mountains with no village in front of them or shops in back.After finally finding a cave to change clothes, but suffering from the sound of thunder and thunder outside from time to time, no one has the mood to sleep, and practice is even more inappropriate.

So they talked for a long time around the fire amidst the thunder and the patter of rain.

At first, Yi Xiao said that he told Lin Xiu what he had seen and heard outside, that the radishes grown by someone in Zhaojia Village were crispy and sweet, and that he had hunted a beautiful fox with fur like fire for the first time. Just as gorgeous, but he still prefers white.

When he wanted to talk to someone, he could keep talking.After he finished talking about himself, he still wanted to ask Lin Xiu, what about you?

Where are you from?

What do you eat there?

When he talked to Lin Xiu, he always had a smile on his face, bright eyes, high spirits, and a natural intimacy in his tone.Lin Xiu has never experienced this kind of battle, so naturally he has no way to refuse, so he has to answer him every time.

He is from Bai Yujing.

Baiyujing is the capital of Dayan.

Food... nothing special.

Then they talked about Tao again. Yi Xiao was not that proficient in swordsmanship, but he had many strange ideas.It's just that because the environment he lives in is remote and the things he can touch are limited, the questions he asks are sometimes so simple that Lin Xiu is surprised.

For example, he said, your swordsmanship is already superb, if you carve some talismans on the sword, will the power of the sword move be stronger?

Lin Xiu would be a little surprised and tell him that this kind of idea had been proposed many years ago, and it had been implemented.It's just that for the talisman to take effect, there must be a flow of spiritual power, and this spiritual power will conflict with the sword body eight out of ten, which is not beautiful.

Yi Xiao said sincerely, how do you know everything?Are all the people in Baiyujing so well-informed and knowledgeable?

Immediately, he shook his head again, denying himself, saying that it must be impossible for everyone to be like this.

Lin Xiu was a little uncomfortable being praised, and wanted to say that these were common sense in Zhongzhou, but she lost her words in Yi Xiao's smiling eyes, and with a thought, she raised another topic in a strange way.

This is the first time he took the initiative to say some "nonsense" to others.

At that moment, Yi Xiao's eyes lit up, revealing an expression of almost surprise, and then he spoke more intently.

It rained heavily outside the cave all night, and the conversations in the cave rang out all night.The firewood in the fire was reduced and added, until the sound of the rain outside gradually subsided, and the faint morning light came in, Yi Xiao finally stopped, saying:

"Why is it daylight?"

Lin Xiu was also a little dazed, and after a while she gave a soft "hmm".

The harmonious atmosphere was suddenly broken, and silence filled in.Yi Xiao felt a little embarrassed for no reason, coughed lightly, turned her head to say something more, but accidentally rubbed against Lin Xiu's arm.

Only then did he realize that during their conversation all night, perhaps in order to hear each other's words more clearly amidst the irritating rain, they had gotten so close without realizing it.

He was so close that he could even count Lin Xiu's eyelashes.

He suddenly had a strange emotion in his heart, and he was dominated by this emotion, and he didn't expect it, so he called out abruptly: "Lin Xiu."

Lin Xiu turned her head and looked up at him.

It was actually just a moment, but in Yi Xiao's eyes, that short moment seemed to be elongated. He could clearly see how Lin Xiu's eyelids lifted up and drew a small arc. Captured how Lin Xiu's pupils changed from pure black to bright—because there was a fire shining into his eyes.

The joy brought by the long talk all night still lingered in his heart, causing such an ordinary scene to take on an unusual meaning in his eyes.He couldn't understand for a while, why he stared at Lin Xiu so carefully, Lin Xiu was not a suspected villain.

But immediately afterwards he became more confident, Lin Xiu is so good-looking, so he can see what's wrong.

At first glance, Lin Xiu looked like the kind of aristocratic young man who came out of a wealthy family. He showed his bearing with every gesture and demeanor.He is like a handful of snow on the top of a mountain, crystal clear and cold.But at this moment, the hot and warm light of the fire shone on his face, which actually dispelled the cold feeling a lot.

It's like... the snow is melting.

Yi Xiao looked at him for a while, then suddenly stretched out her hand and touched the back of his hand unexpectedly.

Lin Xiuru was struck by lightning, her eyes widened a little, and she looked at him in astonishment.

Yi Xiao was also taken aback by himself, but when he saw Lin Xiu's rarely seen lively expression, he immediately put his strange mood behind him, and blurted out: "I see that you are acting cold all day long. Look, I didn't expect it to be quite warm to the touch."

It wasn't as cold as snow as he thought it would be.

Lin Xiu seemed shocked by his nonchalant cheekiness, opened his mouth, but didn't say anything, so he pursed his lips and moved a little away without saying a word.

Yi Xiao glanced sharply at the thin layer of red on the base of his ears, and suddenly felt uncomfortable, thinking, why is he so shy.

He didn't do anything either.

For the next three days, neither of them spoke much.On the fourth day, Yi Xiao's performance became normal, and the two of them became such an awkward situation.

Yi Xiao quickly figured out why she had the strange feeling at that moment, and accepted the change in her feelings towards Lin Xiu very calmly, and came to a conclusion in the next few days of observation, thinking that Lin Xiu was also the same as him.It's just that the other party is relatively slow, and it seems that they haven't understood it yet.He was not in a hurry to puncture the paper on the window, because at this moment he had obtained a brand new pleasure: observing the changes in Lin Xiu's expression and analyzing the other party's mind.

Just like now.

Yi Xiao sensed Lin Xiu's obviously cooling breath, silently reflected on her bad intentions for a moment, and pretended to be aggrieved: "Are you going to rest so early? I still want to play two games of chess with you."

Lin Xiu said lightly, "You can go and play with your friends."

"How can it be the same?"

Lin Xiu asked back, "What's the difference?"

The corner of Yi Xiao's mouth rose: "You are my most special friend, of course you are different from others."

Lin Xiu paused, and said calmly, "Really."

Yi Xiao continued: "I am the happiest when I stay with you."

Lin Xiu's breath began to warm up. After standing for a while, she said quietly, "I have no intention of playing chess right now."

Yi Xiao said very politely: "Then let's play something else."

However, Lin Xiu's good mood did not last long.Because Yi Xiao, who keeps saying that he is the most special friend, still spends most of his time outside.

After four or five days like this, someone finally came and said that Mr. Wang's spirit had improved a little, and he was ready to see guests.

A courtyard of monks was arranged to meet Master Wang one by one.It's just that I didn't find a clue, and it didn't take long to come out, with a frustrated expression.

Lin Xiu and Yi Xiao are the last two.

All the people in front returned without success, the young man asked Lin Xiu to go in, and Yi Xiao said suddenly: "Wait, can I go in with him?"

The boy's eyes flashed, and he said respectfully: "Immortal Yi, the reward is only given to one person. You and Immortal Lin are going together. If you have a clue, who should you give the reward to?"

"It doesn't matter." Yi Xiao waved his hand generously, and said proudly, "Lin Xianchang is not short of this money, and the money will definitely belong to me."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Lin Xiu: "Is that right, Immortal Lin?"

Lin Xiu thought for a while, and thought what he said was reasonable, so she nodded and said, "Yes."

He doesn't think that Yi Xiao is suspected of taking away what should belong to him, because he came to Wang's house because of Yi Xiao.He came with Yi Xiao, so the reward he got naturally does not belong to him, an outsider.
