cross me

It was already very lively outside the arena, and the wave of drumming was louder than the sound.

"Hold on! Hold on!"

"It's only twenty steps away! Hold on!"

The onlookers stood on both sides of Zhangkuan's North-South Street by themselves. The blue-clothed boy in the middle was already swaying very badly, staring at the red-clothed girl at the end, and walked towards her step by step.

The drumming noise was louder than my beating heart, and the moment I saw Mu Qing's back, everything suddenly calmed down, no matter how noisy the world was, I only saw Mu Qing alone.

"Care him very much?" The man's gentle voice was not abrupt at all, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, which was so gentle that it made people feel extra calm.

The peace and gentleness in my heart made me turn my head to look at this man. Those strange feelings just now seemed as if I had never been there before, and there was no ripple at all.I nodded.

"Look at me." While speaking, he turned sideways to my side, walked quickly to the table at the entrance of Beijie, picked up Peach Blossom Zui, turned around and shouted clearly,

"Since it's a competition, I'll count it in!" After finishing speaking, he didn't drink a cup, and took a few sips of the wine jar, put the wine jar on the table, and chased after him at the end of South Street.

Probably the man's quick steps were elegant, and he didn't appear to be intoxicated at all. The clamoring sound stopped suddenly and became quiet, and the onlookers almost watched the man with bated breath, but after a while, he chased after Mu Qing, without pausing at all. After surpassing Mu Qing, he stepped on the finish line.

People thought that he had secured the top spot of the flower card and was waiting to be applauded, but unexpectedly, he saw his elegant robe fluttering, and he turned around, standing on the last bluestone slab in South Street with his feet together. The person, smiling elegantly and gently, was actually looking at me at the starting point of North Street from afar.

I have been hiding on the top of the citron wood in the hall of the Crimson Red Pavilion. The strange attire and the strange and inexplicable fox mask immediately aroused a lot of speculation and murmurs.

I heard some people talking about me bewitchingly, and some people thought I was the person from the fairy house. I couldn't stop, and I felt the surge of secret art ideas in the crowd.

These people are really pervasive.

I sighed inwardly, meeting the man's half-gentle and half-spirited eyes, and my brows also tightened up.

His unrestrained behavior made me feel for the first time that there will be someone who will do something for me wholeheartedly at a certain moment.

This gaze... looked too directly into my heart.

This feeling of being seen through is too scary.

"what!"

Just when I was entangled in the man's eyes that seemed to be able to read people's hearts, Mu Qing let out a roar, tried hard to restrain the sense of imbalance in his body, and took three steps, getting closer to the man one step away.

His drunken impulsive movements almost made him fall to his knees.

Seeing that he tried his best to balance his body and stood up, he seemed to realize that the man's gaze was not on him at all, and he followed the man's gaze to see me.

I clearly saw the surprise in his eyes, which turned into a kind of resentment in an instant, and finally turned into a sneer on the corner of his lips. He gave me a very cold look, then turned his head and continued walking.

My heart is extremely cold, Mu Qing must have misunderstood me.

I clearly wanted to protect him and keep him safe, but why did it make him hate me even more?

Let him win!

I suddenly met the man's amber eyes, and the beast in my heart roared and wanted to tear everything apart.

The man's eyes flickered, and he parted his lips with a gentle smile, "Since I like her so much, it's up to her, why don't you try again?"

He spoke so loudly that almost all the people present could hear him clearly, even when the wind came to me, it was also very clear.

I am very grateful, and my almost broken mood began to settle down.

Mu Qing also heard it, turned her head to look at him, took a staggered step, and finally stood at the same point as him.

The man also turned around, looked at Mu Qing, and said with a smile, "This is fair."

"Then please!" Mu Qingqing let out a low growl, exerted all his strength, and took a step forward.

This step was so fast that Mu Qing stepped on the finish line and fell out.

In the sudden cheers, I saw Lin Xilin help Mu Qing who fell, and smiled lightly at him.Under this scene, the corners of my eyes were sore, I almost felt like crying with joy, my chest was scorching hot, filled with a pain that almost cracked my chest cavity.

Mu Qing fell into Lin Xilin's arms and didn't get up for a while.

I didn't know when those hidden mystics had disappeared. I said badly to myself, and when I raised my inspiration, I realized that Lin Xilin's powerful inspiration had exploded and protected Mu Qing tightly.

We were about to set off to chase those mystics, but when Lin Xilin suddenly helped Mu Qing to the hands of the two maids who came in a hurry, the inspiration was also concealed, and her behavior should have been resolved That's why those mystics were able to hand over Mu Qing with such confidence.

She stood tall, but her gaze found the man in the moon-white plain shirt, and she whispered, "Could it be that Xi Lin is so incompetent, why can't he catch the eyes of Mr.?"

The man's elegant thin shirt was slightly rippling in the night breeze, and he was still standing one step away.The crowd was immersed in the excitement of Mu Qing's victory, making the street so noisy and lively, but amidst the noise, there stood a sense of alienation and depression, which could not make me look away from his thin back .

"Inside the eyes, out of the eyes, in the law of emotion, did you fall into my eyes, or did I come out of your eyes?" The man stood upright, and answered with a chuckle, neither humble nor overbearing, "The person who has your eyes on you, I'm afraid I don't know you at this time." Not feeling well?"

"My people, no one can move." Lin Xilin's eyes fluttered, she squinted charmingly, turned her waist lightly, and said as she walked, "I'm afraid the people in Mr.'s eyes are also uncomfortable. Right." As she said this, she tilted her head slightly, and a faint gleam of eyes drifted over from afar, and the moment she met my eyes, I clearly saw her curl her lips, this faint smile Matching her eyes, it was like seeing something extremely funny, very playful.

Why is she looking at me like this?

Mu Qing fell and didn't get up. I don't know if he was really drunk or was attacked by a occultist. Without news of his safety, I couldn't stay for a moment to determine Mu Qing's situation. So as Lin Xilin's figure was hidden in the crimson red pavilion, I was ready to chase towards the crimson red pavilion as soon as I moved.

Fang took a step, and I noticed a gaze. I froze, and turned my head slowly. I could almost feel the oncoming night wind, and I was startled and cold.

I think I will probably never forget this scene in front of me forever.

Lane [-] on the second floor of the first pavilion filled a street from north to south. At this time, all of them were turned on, and the lights inside were brilliantly reflected, making the red lantern pillars hanging along the street also tainted with a dim yellow color.

Under the dazzling fiery red glow of a string of lanterns, that thin figure is hidden in the mottled shadow of the lights, and is extraordinarily desolate and lonely.I can barely see his expression, but I can still feel his gentle eyes, like the night wind rippling his hair and skirt, falling on me with the wind.

It was a fiery red and warm picture, and it felt like an extremely dark shadow, stretching a long shadow, extending straight to the tip of my heart.

He looked at me.

The extremely quiet body suddenly moved.

He first tapped his cheeks with his fingertips, and made a hideous gesture. After the gesture, he still smiled apologetically as if he felt offended, and then stepped back step by step. After taking seven steps , a turn around, hair band flying.

He came like clear ink and flowing water, and when he went, he also melted into the dim yellow fiery red like a bit of thick ink entering the water.

I watched his headband rise and fall, and then disappeared into the shadow at the end of the long street. I couldn't breathe, and my breath suddenly became smoother, and the hot and sour feeling gradually cooled down.

I stroked the mask on my face, slid it to the corner of my lips, raised the corners of my lips, and let out a chuckle.

This person is really a strange person.

Thinking so, I walked lightly and landed on the top of the crimson pavilion.

Under a clever search, it was found that Mu Qing was in a wing room on the top floor, and the person moved over. Fang stabilized his figure, and felt a small thing on his shoulder. Needless to say, it must have been there just now. Missing little fox.

Lin Xilin is a mermaid, so I had to be extra careful to hide my aura. The little fox is not very skilled, so I also concealed its aura before I dared to talk to it.

"Where did you go?" I pinched its little ear, which was cold and made me feel very comfortable, and asked this naughty little thing briskly.

"Look at you stupid." The little fox shook his ears, trying to escape from my caressing, I was in the right mood, that allowed it to escape easily, but it became more interested in teasing it.

"Why am I so stupid?" I asked with a smile, raised my hand to catch it in my arms, lifted its small jaw, and looked at the displeasure in its dark pupils, and my mood became better and better.

"You are not only stupid, but also very bad! If you mess with me again, I will bite you! Not only will I bite you, but I will also change shape, causing Lin Xilin's charm to bite you too! Hmph!" the little fox grinned. .

I knew it was doing it on purpose, so I changed the strength of my fingertips to tickle it in a comforting way.This kind of tickling is what it usually likes. When I am in a good mood, it will stick to it and beg me to tickle it.As soon as I changed my strength, it became more comfortable, and the pupils also became lazy.

I bent the corner of my lips, felt it soften in my arms, and let out a comfortable moan from time to time, and said, "Be good, if people find out, I'll pluck your hair."

"Hmph!" The little fox rolled over and groaned, "There are good things, and there are bad things. Let's see who will like this strange thing like you!"

I patted it on the head lightly, and it rolled over and nestled deeper into its bosom.I didn't care about it anymore, and concentrated on observing the movement inside through the tulle at the window lattice.

Mu Qing got up from the warm and comfortable boudoir bed, put his bare feet on the pedals, his untied hair was draped over his shoulders, it seemed that he had the immature and fresh air that a young man should have, with white lips and red eyes Dyeing the warm yellow that is unique to the boudoir, it also becomes extra gentle.Only those bright eyes with star eyebrows looked coldly at the woman in red who was sitting by the table, and her tone of voice was also extremely indifferent and alienated.

"Why, do you just want to deal with him with such an expression of eagerly severing ties with me?" Lin Xilin gently tapped her cheek rhythmically with her left index finger resting on the table with her chin propped up.

The smiling eyes followed Mu Qing's getting up to the warm couch by the window.

Lifting up the temporary new blue brocade clothes on the couch, Mu Qing put on the new clothes silently and orderly.

Lin Xilin sighed suddenly, and said with a slightly melancholy tone, her voice was still soft and delicate, "The Chu family has been sending mystics to intercept and kill you since you planned to return to Yecheng, has there been any other incidents during this period? "

Mu Qing's back was facing Lin Xilin, so the momentary stiffness on that handsome face clearly fell into my eyes.

I pursed my lips, only to see him turn around in a blue dress, loosen the hair from his collar, lean on the soft couch, and slap open the altar of peach blossoms on the desk on the couch.

When the aroma of wine was unrestrained, Mu Qing had already drank half of the jar, hugging the jar, feeling drunk and awake, finally looked at Lin Xilin's eyes that were always bottomless, and lifted the clothes on his heart, revealing That silver dragon pattern.

"Ten years ago, you took me away from Qingzhimen and called me senior brother! Gu me for seven years, on my seventh birthday, you handed me a dagger and taught me the art of revenge and fighting. But I can't You have been exhausted from practicing secret arts, and you have worked so hard to find martial arts masters to teach me. I am very grateful. Three years ago, you asked me to go to Yecheng by myself, and take back Qingzhimen with my own ability. I complied But I know that for the past two years, you have been secretly watching and protecting me. You didn't really leave until I could calm down to face any situation. You made a name for yourself in Yecheng. At that time, I felt something It has changed. I am impatient to reach Yecheng and see you. In the Wanqing Mountains, I thought I was dead and I would never see you again..." Mu Qing blushed, and her tone was dark. He got up in a hurry, looking at Lin Xilin's alluring face that had already become dignified with clear eyes.

"I just discovered that after seven years of being together, no matter whether the past lives you told me are true or not, I... I am! I don't want any other man to get involved with you!"

"Brother..." Lin Xilin sighed softly, "I am very happy when you say that. However, this kind of liking is unreal to me. Because ah...you haven't met that person yet ...Heh...the cause and effect of the two lives, I have resigned myself to my fate." She smiled softly, cleanly and softly, "As for that man, I don't know his origin, but he is as intangible as that masked girl The depth of their cultivation, if they hadn’t released their qi on their own, I’m afraid no one would know where they are. That girl... looked at your eyes... senior brother, don’t you plan to explain?”

Mu Qing's face froze, his eyes changed strangely, he let go of the wine jar, and raised his hand to touch the dragon pattern on his heart, "Wan Qingshan, she saved my life."

"That's all?" Lin Xilin raised her eyes and lightened her brows.

"That's all." Mu Qing lowered his eyes, closed his clothes, tied his waist, stood up, walked to Lin Xilin, squatted down, and looked into Lin Xilin's dark eyes, "In this world, I only I know, you are the only one who treats me sincerely, so how can others say that I don't care. If you don't believe me, then please use the longevity of Meizu to see how I do my best in this short life and only care about your heart. "

Lin Xilin's eyes fell gently on Mu Qing's body, and the eyes became deeper and deeper. After watching for a long time, she suddenly turned over to Mu Qing's holding her palm, and opened her eyes for a long time before tightly Hold it.At some point, the eyes were already full of water, and they lightly jumped back to Mu Qing's face, and the other hand also slowly stroked up, tracing Mu Qing's eyebrows carefully and gently.

She looked extremely gentle, while he was extremely serious.

The lingering fit between the two made me feel a kind of extreme beauty, which completely wiped out my hope that I had a little bit of luck.If Mu Qing is the master, the scene in front of me has made me let go of all my extravagant hopes, and I only hope that they can grow old forever.

That way, it's already good.

"When I like you, you can be stupid. You can practice Taoism with all your heart, and you have a pure and ascetic appearance. Even a fairy can't compare with you." Lin Xilin traced with her fingertips, and paused on Mu Qing's tight The corners of her lips pursed, "Before that person appeared, I thought you were just not good at expressing. I never thought that you just don't like me."

"I!"

"Shh!" Fingertips sealed what Mu Qing wanted to say, Lin Xilin's soft lips were plump and full, blocking Mu Qing's eagerness to express.

"I just met you a few years earlier than her. This kind of opportunity does not make me trust you with peace of mind, but... I am willing to give it a try."

"A Lin!" Mu Qing's eyes turned red, and she looked at Lin Xilin excitedly.

"I'm almost five hundred years old. At your age, I'm really blushing." Lin Xilin smiled, and looked down at Mu Qing holding her hand tightly.

"Are you still looking at me with a cold face at this moment?" Lin Xilin frowned, not letting go of Mu Qing's embarrassment.

"Then I still thought you..." Mu Qing blushed, not daring to look at Lin Xilin again.

"Okay, okay, this scene has to be done well, otherwise you are so emotionally exposed, and they won't allow them to believe that you don't know me." Lin Xilin restrained her emotions, and moved the table beside the table. A low stool, motioning Mu Qing to sit down, "The Chu family will not give up, and since you have been invited by the Jianghong Pavilion, it is not impossible to go to Qingzhimen under an excuse. However, how do you get Qing back?" Do you have any plans, Zhimen?"

Mu Qing sat down according to his words, and his voice became gloomy with the seriousness of his brows, "Qingzhimen was forced to follow the order of the old man of Ji's family to cultivate insightful people for him when his father resigned from office. After decades of operation, he has cultivated many capable people for the Ji Dynasty, and many of them occupy important positions. His father originally wanted to resign from office because of his outstanding military achievements. The hateful thing is that on the one hand, the old man of the Ji family accepted his father's resignation and ordered his eldest son, Ji Mingche, to come and take over, but then he secretly murdered my father. Even if I rescued him, it would be difficult for me to come back to take revenge. Now Ji Mingche is still in charge of Qingzhimen, but I heard that he is loose and tight, and he is not as serious as his second brother Ji Mingzong."

"If this is the case, it seems possible that these mystics were arranged by Ji Mingzong. After all, Ji Mingche's reputation is here. But the members of his Ji family cannot be so simple. Some people may be indifferent. Similarly, ten years ago, Ji Mingche bid farewell to his younger brother Ji Mingye ten miles away in Yecheng. On the surface, it was a relegation, but in fact it was to protect the younger brother who lost his mother's protection from court battles. That's all. , It is enough to show that he is not a person who accepts his fate. Therefore, it is necessary to try who this is." Lin Xilin said softly, his eyes darkened.

"If you don't have a plan yet, it's better for me to arrange it. Please invite the post. You and I will go to Qingzhi Gate together to find out." Lin Xilin settled down and said to Mu Qing.

Mu Qing frowned her pretty eyebrows, and said in a deep voice, "I don't want to involve you."

"If you talk about involvement, then it's not just this life." Lin Xilin glanced at him lightly, half out of reproach, half out of tenderness.

Mu Qing took Lin Xilin's gaze, and his heart softened, he smiled and said, "That's right, I'm being stingy."

When I saw this, I knew it was almost done. Now that I knew what they were going to do next, just in case, I decided to go to the Qingzhi Gate first.

I looked down at the little fox and saw that it was sleeping comfortably, so I stretched out my hand to wake it up.

"Where's Qingzhimen?" Seeing its sleepy eyes, I pinched its nose again, and it struggled violently before it finally woke up.

"What the hell is going on again? I asked why I didn't want to go to the Academy a while ago, why did I go to that kind of place now? That place is not a joke, all monsters and ghosts are strong!" The little fox followed along Mao Mao, said while squinting at me, "Are you really going?"

"Yeah." I nodded, and watched it flick its tail and jump on my shoulder.

"Then let's go, it's in the northwest outside the city."

Hearing this, I got up, stepped out, stopped again, turned around and looked back, then followed the little fox's direction to Yuxing and left without looking back.

During the imperial journey, many images flashed through my mind, and finally stopped at the image of Mu Qing and the man standing side by side.

He didn't take that step, I thought, and I didn't take that step either.

One step away, never to reach.
