"Where are you going?" Jingxi clenched her fists tightly, but her face softened, "I'll take you there."

Ye Ming was right, but he was fundamentally wrong.The two need to be equal in getting along, and I have to respect Bai Qian's choice, that's the way to go.

This seems like a paradox.Jing Xi wanted to be with Bai Qian, and wanted to prove to him that she had truly changed.But this proves that he wants to let go of Bai Qian completely, so that he will no longer be implicated.This defeats the purpose.

Jingxi didn't know how to deal with this conflict, so she could only back away, keeping herself far away, so that Bai Qian could be happy.

Jingxi actually wanted to turn around and run away.Bai Qian said goodbye, so don't continue the conversation, don't meet again.Many times he is simply the most timid one, lacking courage.

But still will not give up.

Jingxi asked Bai Qian: "Are you going back to Fanxi?"

Bai Qian probably didn't expect Jingxi to cooperate so much, and he felt relieved even when he was stunned, and he talked more than before: "No. Minglian is dead, and Mu Yueguan is accompanied by someone. That's what we promised in the first place. Yes, I can leave now."

Jingxi listened silently, but still couldn't hold back, and asked repeatedly: "Where are you going?"

I couldn't help but kept asking, fearing that I would never see him again.He was even more afraid that Bai Qian would not answer, and gave up the idea of ​​"see you later".

Fortunately, Bai Qian is not a heartless person.He didn't want to alienate everyone, but he felt very tired and things were done, so it was time to find a place to rest.

Surprisingly, Bai Qian found himself aging rapidly, as if he was in his twilight years.

Ignoring this thought, Bai Qian turned back to Jingxi: "I'm not familiar with the geography of Huaiyuan, is there any secluded small town?"

He asked Jingxi, but it made Jingxi feel a little more joy and comfort in her sadness.Jingxi frowned and thought for a long time: "There are a few small towns at the junction of Fengyan and Fanxi. The folk customs are kind and simple, and the environment is also good."

There was no map at hand, and Bai Qian didn't know what place he was talking about.While thinking, Jingxi added: "It's very close to Hejiu."

Jingxi is careful, Bai Qian wants to avoid the eyes of everyone and live a secluded life, and he can't be kept by his side, the closer the distance, the better.That place was originally at the intersection of Fengyan, Fanxi, and Hejiu. The climate is pleasant and it is very suitable for living.But he didn't dare to say it outright, fearing that Bai Qian would get bored, so he hid away instead.

Bai Qian was a little surprised by his addition.Bai Qian's impression of him hadn't changed yet, he was so blunt all of a sudden, he wasn't used to it for a while.

Jingxi lowered her head and waited for the test results as a child, nervous as hell.Bai Qian roughly knew the direction, nodded and said, "Alright."

When it came time to part, Jing Xi didn't even understand what Bai Qian meant by "Ye Hao".Maybe it was just a casual promise from him, but a fool who is new to love always thinks about these few words over and over again.Is there any deep meaning in this, and what kind of thinking is behind it.What kind of emotion does this person have towards himself?

Jingxi couldn't figure it out, so she kept thinking about it.

Then time passed.

Jingxi lost to Danying's white-faced youth in the October meeting and came in second.Mu Yueguan scored 29, not a good result, but better than Qu Fengqing's 68.Yuan Lizang Cai'er did not know where she went, and Tianshu only played for fun the whole time.

After a lively competition for a month, the curtain finally came to an end.

Then Bai Qian left.

Jingxi received the news when he returned to the station after listening to the emperor's reward.At that time Bai Qian didn't want him to stay any longer, so he had no choice but to get up and go to Guigu first.Bai Qian's body couldn't shake, so he stayed in Bitao Town to continue recuperating.

Now he is finally gone.

Jingxi waved the messenger back, then stopped him, pondered for a moment and said: "Keep two people, and the others will be withdrawn."

The guard resigned after saying yes, and stayed in Jingxi to think alone.

Tianshu came back from playing outside, and happened to bump into this scene.Sitting down loudly, pouring a cup of tea and drinking it, Tianshu asked Jingxi: "Don't you like him?"

Jingxi didn't talk to him too much, and remained silent.

Tian Shu continued to mutter to himself: "Then you just let go? His departure has nothing to do with you, me, or Mu Yueguan. He is going to get out of this circle. Then what will you do?" get back?"

Jingxi still didn't speak, Tianshu pouted: "If you want me to say, just keep him in the mansion, and you treat him as hard as you can, but can't you influence him? It's just that his stump doesn't work much now. , I can’t even run away—”

"Sedum Shu!"

Jingxi scolded, her face full of displeasure.Tianshu stopped talking and said "hey", not to provoke him anymore.Although Tianshu is unreliable, he is much clearer than Jingxi.It's just that his character is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and he just wants to stir up some troubles.

Tianshu scratched his nose: "Seriously, aren't you worried that he's in danger?"

Jingxi paused for a long time before saying "um", she was really worried.

Tian Shu didn't expect his answer at all, she was talking to herself completely: "Although Ming Lian obeys the law, but Bai Qian's reputation is outside, it is inevitable that someone will have evil intentions."

The more he said, the more nervous Jingxi became.Tian Shu pretended not to notice, and continued: "He is not in good health, the news has already spread. Will someone take advantage of this... As you know, he is really not in good health now."

Jingxi finally felt a little relieved, and said coldly, "I've kept someone."

"Two?" Tian Shu raised his eyebrows, "But two are enough to run away with him."

"Sedum Shu!"

Jingxi patted the table, Tianshu jumped out immediately, and did not forget to add: "I'm right!"

When Tianshu made such a fuss, Jingxi's unashamed heart became even more disturbed.When I returned to Hejiu, I was closer, and the news was convenient. It was not enough to listen to the report three times a day, so I always wanted to go and have a look.

Ye Ming grabbed Tianshu and beat him up, then led him to Jingxi: "Tianshu is bothering you, don't always look worried."

Jingxi felt ashamed, so she didn't answer.

Ye Ming beat Tianshu again in front of Jingxi, kicked him out, and sat down on the chair: "Jingxi, you can't always be like this."

She was always serious, but rarely serious.Seeing this, Jingxi also knew that she had something to say, so she sat down.

Ye Ming didn't want the atmosphere to become tense, so he smiled and joked: "If I were the old man, I would punish you not to sit."

Jingxi actually wanted to stand up and stand for punishment.He regards Ye Ming as his elder sister, and as the saying goes, elder sister is like mother. He respects Ye Ming and listens to her.

Ye Ming hurriedly pulled him back: "I'm teasing you, I'm teasing you! Sit down—but I must say criticism."

Jingxi gave a "hmm" and said "I listen to the teaching".

Ye Ming was a little helpless: "If the master is not here, you are the lord of the city. What is the lord of the city? No matter what the lord of the city is, it will never be what you are now. I know you are thinking about Bai Qian, but you can't just think about it. He! You have things to do and things to deal with. You always focus on this lovesickness, what kind of words are you talking about?"

Jingxi herself felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't help it.No one mentioned it or cared about it, and it just continued to deteriorate.

Ye Ming continued: "It hasn't reached the master's ears yet, if you continue like this, the master will not be mad at you."

"Sooner or later," Jing Xi paused, "If he knows that I want to marry a man, he will die of anger sooner or later."

"That's right." Ye Ming nodded, "But aren't you going to fight for it? Otherwise, Bai Qian will never be able to rectify his name. How can this work? You have to convince the master."

Jingxi's expression softened a little dullly, as if he had suddenly realized: "You are right. I just thought that my father would not agree, and I never dared to think about how to persuade him."

Ye Ming led his thoughts: "First of all, the master can't feel disgusted now. Think about it, if the master knows that you don't think about eating and drinking, do not do business, and don't think about making progress, it doesn't matter if you are a man. Girl, the master will not wait to see you."

Jingxi nodded, thinking that what Ye Ming said made sense.

Ye Ming continued: "If you really want to marry Bai Qianmen, you must have enough strength to compete with the master. Only when you have enough confidence and a hard back can you hold on."

Jingxi continued to nod, it was great to talk to Ye Ming.

Ye Ming laughed pitifully: "So, go and approve those messy official affairs first."

Jingxi didn't think there was anything wrong, it should be said that he felt that his previous behavior was very inappropriate.Immediately got up and went to work, working hard for the bright future of himself and Bai Qian.

Tian Shu was beaten hard, and timidly shrank outside the door, and when Ye Ming passed by, he said with a shy face, "You have a good eloquence!"

Four words, very simple words, but when they reached Ye Ming's ears, they felt burnt.Ye Ming's cheeks immediately heated up, and he glared at Tian Shu angrily.

Tianshu immediately complained wronged: "I praise you..."

Ye Ming ignored him and hurried away.

Tianshu immediately put away the aggrieved look, and reached out to touch his chin.I didn't dare to kiss him this time.

At least Jing Xi regained her senses, but she still didn't forget to let people inquire about Bai Qian's news.

The Mu family claimed that Ning Baiqian was seriously ill and rested in bed.Carefully found that the Mu family hadn't come up with any new gadgets anymore.After that, someone with sharp eyes and quick ears spread the news that Mu Yueguan and Qu Fengqing had met.

For a while, rumors spread everywhere, saying everything.The most widely circulated one is also the most unreliable one, thinking that Mu Yueguan still disliked Bai Qian's physical disability, and turned to find the young son.As for Bai Qian himself, she was under house arrest in Mu's residence.

When Tianshu told Jingxi the news, he was excited.He always loves gossip and rumors that can't be traced, so he naturally inquires clearly.Jingxi was not happy, Ye Ming advised him: "That's fine, the world thinks that Bai Qian is still in the Mu Mansion, but he is safe there."

Bai Qian raised himself steadily in the small town, and occasionally drew some trinkets to sell. He was living in poverty, but he was not depressed.

But for all the things he draws, Jingxi must ask someone to find out and repay them.It is nothing more than some toy cars for young children, or daily pots and pans.Bai Qian didn't want to be famous any more, so he only picked objects that fit this era to paint.

Time passed, and it gradually entered winter.Some people pointed out that the Mu family has not taken supplementary medicine recently.Some people speculated that Bai Qian was no longer in the Mu family, or had really died of a serious illness.

Jingxi was a little worried and always felt uneasy.

Sure enough, it's not out this year, Tian Shu looked for her with a serious face.

"The place in Baiqian was discovered, and it was Si Qi who went there."
