[Xu Run] Love Parting

04.

The visitor is dressed in brocade and fine attire, looks handsome, claims to be surnamed Yang, and has a single name of Ning. He lives in the upper reaches of the river.

He cupped his hands: "I don't know what to call Xiongtai?"

Runyu hesitated for a moment, but said, "I'm next, Runyu."

"It turned out to be Brother Run, but Xiongtai's surname is rare."

Runyu smiled, noncommittal.

Yang Ning is very eloquent, even though Runyu seldom speaks, he can speak eloquently by himself, but after a cup of tea, Runyu knows more about this town than in the past month.

Moreover, Mr. Yang is very funny. When he talked about the anecdotes of the world outside the customs, he was also vivid and full of wit. It reminded Runyu that Yanyou was the same. The tightness in my chest has eased a lot.

So they had dinner together again, and when they were parting, the two expressed their respect to each other, and agreed to go to the flower viewing party at Jiang Yuan's family's house in town three days later.

On the way back, Runyu didn't use her supernatural power, and it was almost late at night when she got back to Mengzhai, and the lights in Xufeng's room had already gone out.

That gaze followed Runyu today until he said goodbye to Yang Ning, so Xu Feng must have returned not long ago.

Runyu stood in the courtyard for a while, but no one came out.

Since Xufeng had nothing to ask, and Runyu had no intention of explaining to him, she opened the door and entered the room.

Since then, Runyu has often gone out, sometimes drinking and chatting with Yang Ning, and sometimes going with him to some friends' gatherings.

Although Runyu is reticent, but whenever he speaks, he always has unique insights. In addition to his outstanding beauty, he was sought after by the princes of the aristocratic families for a while, and became famous.

At the beginning, Xufeng would follow him every time until he finished. After doing this a few times, he often left halfway, and then only sent him to the place before leaving. Until now, Runyu has never felt that sight since she went out. .

"Brother Run seems to have something on his mind today." Yang Ning said while shaking his fan.

If there is anything that Runyu is not used to, it is this pretentious elegance.It's clearly autumn in the mortal world, and he doesn't think it's cold.

"Nothing."

"Since there are troubles here, brother Run, do you think about staying in another place?"

Runyu looked up at him, waiting for him to finish.

Seeing that he had attracted his attention, Yang Ning pursed her lips and smiled: "Brother Run is so talented, it's a pity to live in such a small place, why not go to the capital to live for a while like me. To tell the truth, brother Run still has some skills in the capital, as long as Brother Run is willing to go, so he will be able to achieve great success, how about it?"

Soaring to the top?Runyu smiled in his heart, but didn't show it on his face. He raised his glass and said, "Let me think about it."

"Okay," Yang Ning clinked a glass with him, "I'm leaving in three days, there will be a farewell banquet on the boat in the river that day, and I'll wait for Brother Run's reply then."

"Whether I go or not, I will be there."

"It's a word."

Three days later, a distinguished guest came early in the morning from Compensation Mengzhai.

When Yanyou came in, Runyu had just had breakfast and planned to pack up and go out.

"Hey, you're dressed so formally today, where are you going?" Yanyou teased.

Runyu didn't care much, and said lightly: "Going to a friend's farewell banquet, do you want to come together?"

"Friends?" Yanyou felt very strange, "Do you still have friends here?"

Runyu's face darkened: "Is there something wrong?"

No, of course not.Thinking that he hasn't made a single friend in 8000 years in the Heavenly Court, but after only a few months in the mortal world, he actually has a friend worthy of a banquet, of course it's not right.

But Yanyou thought so in his heart, so he wouldn't be so stupid as to say it.

Yanyou quickly waved his hand: "No, it's normal! But it won't be so long, and there is a special banquet?"

"I don't know, but it seems that he will not come back from his tone. He even invited me to go to the capital together."

"The capital? Are you going?"

Just as Runyu was about to speak, he suddenly heard light footsteps, and he paused: "Maybe, we'll talk about it at the banquet."

The next moment Xu Feng pushed the door and came in: "Are you going to the capital?"

Runyu glanced at him and said coldly, "Not sure yet."

"There is a royal family in the capital, and there is a dragon spirit. If you go there, you may disturb the dragon veins in the world. That's not the place for you to go."

"What's with you?"

Yanyou's eyes widened, he couldn't figure out why the two of them had developed into what they are now after a few months of absence, but no matter how you look at it, now is not a good time for him to stay, so he said, "Talk slowly, I'll go to the courtyard Let's go" and fled.

Xu Feng lowered her head: "You don't need to deliberately go to the capital to avoid me, if you feel that I restrain you, then I won't follow you anymore."

"Is this the only one?"

Xu Feng raised her head to look at him, with tears in her eyes: "I won't secretly look at you anymore, can I?"

Runyu said bitterly: "What else?"

Xu Feng thought over and over again, and after a long time he paused and said: "...as long as you let me stay by your side, you can do whatever you want."

"No matter what you do..." Runyu laughed, and he took a step forward to walk in front of Xufeng, his eyes were slightly red, "Then what if I practice spiritually with others? Can you accept it too? "

Xu Feng was stunned for a long time before saying: "...as long as you let me stay..."

Runyu slapped Xu Feng and turned her head away: "I really doubt whether you are the Xu Feng I know after all!"

The next moment, Runyu stepped out the door: "Yanyou, let's go!"

Yanyou followed Runyu, and couldn't help but look back, the man was still standing at the door, with his head slightly tilted, motionless.

Yang Ning has a lot of friends, today's farewell banquet was gathered together by a few of his good friends. Although it was set on a painting boat, the formation was quite large, and the sound of drums and music could be heard far away from the shore.

Yang Ning is the host of today's banquet, and there are many guests at the banquet, no matter how interested he is, he can't concentrate on greeting Runyu alone.

After having a drink with him, Runyu and Yanyou found a corner and sat down, watching the scenery outside the boat while drinking.

"That Yang Ning doesn't look like an ordinary person," Yanyou couldn't help but said as soon as he sat down, "Yang is the surname of the current country, and Ning... I heard that the prince's nickname is Baoding."

Runyu glanced at him: "So what?"

"You are a real dragon, and you really shouldn't get too involved with the royal family in the mortal world."

"He doesn't have dragon aura on him, the one next to him has dragon aura."

Yanyou followed Runyu's gaze. It was a six or seven-year-old boy who was led by a servant beside Yang Ning. He didn't know if it was his son or younger brother. Feeling their gaze, his big round eyes also turned to them. From this direction.

Yanyou withdrew his gaze: "Okay, pretend I didn't say it. But do you really consider going to the capital? That Yang Ning looks at you not so innocently."

Runyu didn't answer for a long time.

Yanyou asked again: "Could it be that you just told Xu Feng to hear it?"

"We don't talk about him today, only our brothers drink." Runyu raised his glass and said expressionlessly.

Yanyou sighed, and also raised his glass: "I don't mind if you torture him, but I hope you don't torture yourself."

After clinking glasses, the hatchback was silent, and there was no more to say.

Before the banquet was over, Runyu and Yanyou were about to leave.In the middle of the painting boat, she sent people off the boat and docked several times. Runyu didn't want to attract Yang Ning's attention, so she took a look at the empty space of the dock, made a decision and disappeared in place with Yanyou, so Yang Ning should also know his answer up.

Neither of them noticed that a pair of eyes had been watching them disappear from the corner.

Pushing open the courtyard door of Compensation Dream Studio, Xu Feng was uncharacteristically sitting in the courtyard waiting for them, with a small gray bundle on the table.

Seeing this, Yanyou expected that the two of them had something to say, so he turned and left as soon as he took a step into the courtyard gate.

Runyu walked into the house without squinting, but was stopped by Xufeng when she passed the stone table.

"Runyu, I have something to tell you."

Runyu stood still, but did not turn around.

Xu Feng's expression was a little lonely: "After you left, I thought about it carefully, and I really can't accept you and other people's spiritual practice."

"..."

He smiled bitterly: "You don't have to force yourself like this. If my existence really makes you suffer so much, I will choose to leave."

"..."

Xu Feng took another step forward, Runyu was already within reach of him, but he still didn't raise his hand in the end: "I left Huandi Fengling behind, if something happens to you, maybe you can still Come in handy."

"..."

Xu Feng turned around and picked up the burden, and walked slowly towards the gate of the courtyard. The moment he opened the gate, he stopped again.

He finally said: "Yu'er, maybe you don't believe this sentence anymore, but I still want to say it again. I like you, maybe you and I have changed, but my heart is the same as before."

The courtyard door was gently closed, Runyu closed her eyes, and a line of tears fell silently.

When Yanyou came back, Runyu knelt in front of the altar again, fingering the string of hidden spirit beads one by one.

Looking at Runyu's straight back, Yanyou sighed deeply, and said for a while, "He's gone."

Runyu said nothing.

Yanyou turned to him and squatted down, looked straight at him and said, "Runyu, in fact, you should look in front of your eyes more, and don't always dwell on the past. You were like this before, why are you still like this now?"

Runyu remained silent.

"Forget it, anyway, I can never talk to you. I'm going to drink in the yard now, come out and find me if you want to drink."

After speaking, Yanyou stood up, patted him on the shoulder, and went to the courtyard.

Yanyou didn't know how long he drank alone before Runyu came out from the room.

Yanyou poured a cup and handed it to him, Runyu picked it up and drank it down.

The two drank one cup after another like this.

Yanyou suddenly looked up at the sky and said, "Look at the sky, it seems to be raining soon."

No one answered, and Yanyou got used to it.

Not long after these words were said, it started to rain, and the two of them hurried back into the house.

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and Runyu was drinking more and more slowly.

It was getting dark, Yanyou stretched out his head to look out the window, and sighed: "It's raining so heavily, where will Xu Feng stay tonight?"

With a bang, Runyu's wine glass fell to the ground and shattered.
