Sweet as candy

The oil-paper umbrella rolled around along the ground, and icy rainwater slipped into Xiao Lang's neckline. He shivered and turned his head to look at Mu Yunyi's waist.

What he could still see in the martial arts conference that time was no longer in his waist.

Is it because of this that he failed to block his own sword move?

Mu Yunyi was only wearing a bamboo hat, Xiao Lang was hugged by him, and when he dropped the umbrella, both of them were drenched instantly.

Isn't this guy afraid of catching a cold?

In a hugging posture, Mu Yunyi buried her head in Xiao Lang's neck.Xiao Lang stiffened his body, thinking vaguely: He seems to have lost some weight, even the curvature of his chin has become sharper, and his crumpled shoulders are strangely uncomfortable.

He was about to reach out to push, when his nose moved, the expression on his face changed immediately: "Are you injured?"

He didn't realize it just now, but the two of them were very close now, and the smell of blood from each other's body could clearly pass into their nostrils.

It was by no means just stabbed.

Mu Yunyi lowered his eyelashes, Xiao Lang couldn't see him pretending to be deaf and dumb, so he pushed the man back, picked up the umbrella from the ground, and said coldly: "Since you don't want to say it, I won't force you either. Here It’s not far from the Martial Arts League, so you should leave as soon as possible.”

He didn't use much strength, but Mu Yunyi seemed to be unable to bear it. He stepped back a few steps, arched his body slightly, and coughed dully twice with his fists clenched around his mouth.

Xiao Lang tightened his grip on the handle of the umbrella, and looked at him angrily.

He really thinks that he can't be ruthless when playing tricks like this?

Xiao Lang took a deep breath, turned to leave without looking at him again.

"Don't go."

An almost pleading tone came from behind.

Mu Yunyi looked at his back and said in a low voice, "Don't go, Xiao Lang."

Xiao Lang's movements froze, his five fingers were about to pinch into his palm.

Just as he was hesitating, there was a heavy bang behind him, Xiao Lang couldn't help turning his head back, seeing that he seemed to be really unable to hold on, and knelt down on one knee.

Damn.

At this time, he didn't care whether the other party was acting, Xiao Lang stepped forward quickly, and grabbed his wrist against his hot gaze.

With just one action, he knew he had lost.

"With such a serious injury, you still dare to run around outside alone." Xiao Lang kept talking while helping him up, "Aren't you afraid that someone will meet on the road and take the opportunity to kill you?"

He forcibly placed Mu Yunyi's hand across his shoulder. Mu Yunyi was afraid of pressing him, so he secretly shifted his weight away, but was immediately noticed and pulled towards him again.

"Don't move around." Xiao Lang handed the umbrella to him with a blank expression: "So strong, you come to hold the umbrella."

Mu Yunyi's eyes were bent when he heard the cold tone, fearing that the other party would find out, he hurriedly lowered his head.

Wu Linmeng couldn't go back, Xiao Lang changed direction and led the people to the inn on the adjacent street.

Fortunately, a lot of people were soaked in the heavy rain, and the shopkeeper didn't find it strange that the two of them came in all wet, and enthusiastically asked Xiao Er to pour hot water on it.

Xiao Lang helped him to sit down at the table, turned his head and looked at the steaming bathtub: "You wash first."

Mu Yunyi asked, "What about you?"

"Of course it's another one." Xiao Lang choked, "I don't have the habit of sharing a bathtub with others."

That would be a pity.

Mu Yunyi said inwardly.

"I'll get someone to bring clean clothes in a while." Xiao Lang said, "Take care of the wound yourself, be careful..."

Just as he was about to say don't get wet, it suddenly occurred to him that this man had stood in the rain like crazy for so long, the wound might have opened already.

"Be careful not to drown." He changed his mouth and said, "I'll come back later."

The two bathed separately, Xiao Lang asked the second generation to buy two sets of clothes for running errands, and after changing, he took the other to find Mu Yunyi.

He knocked on the door, came in after the other party agreed, and put the clean clothes on the shelf beside him.

He wanted to go out after finishing all this, but his eyes were inevitably attracted by the scars on the opponent's body.

Mu Yunyi's complexion was morbidly fair, and those ugly wounds were set against it, making it even more shocking.

He must have been through a tough battle.

Xiao Lang paused, took two steps towards him uncontrollably, and said in a low voice, "You... where did these wounds come from?"

Mu Yunyi leaned against the wall of the barrel, raised her head and said, "The great revenge will be repaid."

"……Congratulations."

After answering this sentence, Xiao Lang couldn't say anything more, his mind was in chaos.

After careful calculation, it has been a year since his identity was exposed.During this year, he took the position of the leader of the martial arts according to the plan, and he also avenged Mu Qianzhong as he wished.

Then, next, will he also ascend to the position of leader as a matter of course...

At that time, the person who was about to face swords again stepped into the jurisdiction of the Wulin League without even carrying a weapon. Did he trust himself too much, or did he plan ahead?

The more he thought about it, the more confused he became, Xiao Lang exhaled lightly, turned around and said, "Your wound hasn't healed yet, don't soak for too long, just put on your clothes."

There was the sound of rustling clothes rubbing behind him, Xiao Lang waited for a while with his back turned, and then turned around and sat down at the table after the other party finished tidying up.

"Tell me, what did you come to see me for?"

Mu Yunyi looked at him deeply: "I just want to meet you."

Ever since his identity was revealed, he has become less blushing and heart-beating every time he said such words.

Xiao Lang lowered his gaze: "Mu Yunyi, there's no need for us to continue to be so vague. The matter between you and me should have been settled long ago."

"But I don't want to end it."

After a pause, Mu Yunyi said: "Xiao Lang, on the day I brought someone to find Guardian Zuo, there was a little mistake in the arrangement, and I almost lost my life."

The heart-pounding and life-threatening scene was taken lightly by him with a single sentence.

"I used to often think that if one day I really miscalculated and died under the sword of the enemy, what things in this world would make me feel sorry for the last moment of my life."

"I thought it was because I hated not being able to kill the enemy, or not being able to regain my own position."

"But at the moment when I thought I was really going to die, there was only one thing in my mind."

"I thought, I'll never see you again."

Xiao Lang's hand hanging on his knee moved slightly, and Mu Yunyi said again: "In the past 20 years, I didn't know what I cared most about. But at that moment, I understood."

"The things I care about are all obsessions imposed on me by the past, only you are real."

"I want to live, I want to see you again, I want to see you smile at me like before, and I want to hear you call me Amu."

"Maybe I woke up too late, but I swear, from now on, I won't use any form to make you sad again."

Xiao Lang listened to him in a daze, and after a while, Mu Yunyi covered his hand and said softly, "Trust me one more time, okay?"

His voice seemed to contain some kind of demagogic power, Xiao Lang almost blurted it out.

He restrained his emotions in time, and pulled his hand as if it was burning: "...Mu Yunyi, have you ever considered that what stands between us is not just your lies."

"Our identities, positions, and beliefs that we walk in this world are mostly in opposite directions. Even if you recognize your feelings today at the critical moment of life and death, you can guarantee that all these opposites will not become a gap in the future, and once again ruthless Cut us apart?"

"If we can't overcome these, in the end we will only end up with a lose-lose outcome."

The heart seemed to be torn apart from the middle, Xiao Lang endured the pain and said: "Instead of doing this, it's better to draw a clear line now, so that when swords and swords face each other in the future, it can ease the entanglement in my heart."

"Of course I know this." Mu Yunyi did not back down: "Xiao Lang, I am not a fad for you. From the moment I made a decision, I have eliminated all factors that stand in front of us. Think it over."

"You are worried that I will repeat the same mistakes and cause disasters like my father in the past, so why don't you personally make me abandon the dark and turn to the bright? If I can lead everyone to change their minds, wouldn't it be a good thing for you and the world?"

Xiao Lang was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head away.

He has never imagined these things, but every time he only opened his head, he was cut off abruptly by himself.

Poetry and story books love to praise the greatness of love, but the first-line popularity has been entrenched for many years, how can it be reversed by the power of love?

Furthermore, he has always acted aboveboard, if he deliberately used Mu Yunyi for this, he might not be able to face him for the rest of his life.

Mu Yunyi seemed to see through his inner thoughts: "I know that you will hesitate, this is not something I did on a whim. In the year since I was rescued by you, apart from being tempted by you, I have also seen clearly the sincerity of the people around you. .”

"The last time Chu Bo was injured because of me, I regret it to this day. I also understand that if I don't wash away the sins of the past, I will never have the face to see them again."

"It's not easy to do this, but I will start to prove bit by bit that what I say is true."

Shocked by his promise, Xiao Lang was speechless for a long time, and finally he looked away and said: "Since you have said everything, you are now a popular leader, so you are not afraid that I will take the opportunity to prevent future troubles forever?"

Mu Yunyi chuckled lightly: "Xiao Lang, do you know that whenever you feel upset in your heart, you will intentionally provoke me with words?"

Xiao Lang blushed when he broke his mind.

After a long time, he said, "I...can't make a decision yet."

He is afraid.

But at least he didn't refuse any more. Mu Yunyi thought it was a small improvement, and said softly, "It doesn't matter. I will give you a lot of time. You think about it slowly. You will answer me when you trust me enough."

"Just...don't shut me out again, okay?"

As he spoke, he carefully reached out to touch the other's warm cheek.

Xiao Lang's face was so smooth and tender from the hot water, but it was a pity that before Mu Yunyi could stay for long, he was beaten down by the opponent with a wave of his hand.

"Then you'd better not touch your hands."

Xiao Lang crossed his arms and said: "Mu Yunyi, I found that you are getting more and more courageous, when you follow me, and when you hug me rashly, you are not afraid that I will be impulsive and really chop off your hand?"

Mu Yunyi smiled wryly, and said, "It's just because I'm afraid of this, I originally wanted to do something more extreme, but in the end I had no choice but to give up."
