Chapter 82 Seven Star Town (Two in One)

The night is slightly cool, and the pink and white peach petals are falling everywhere with the night wind.

Hongyi was sitting at the stone table under the peach blossom tree, playing with the wine glass in her hand, staring blankly at the full moon in the sky.

The back figure in the night is full of loneliness.

A cloak was lightly draped over his shoulders, and Zhong Li asked softly, "But are you thinking about Miss Luo?"

Hong Yi lowered her eyes, looked at the pair of boots stained with petals in front of her eyes, shook her head gently and said, "No!"

Zhong Li looked at another glass filled with wine on the table, and shook his head helplessly.

Nor to expose her duplicity.

He took advantage of the situation and sat aside, persuading in a low voice: "Alcohol is bad for your health, so don't drink it."

Hongyi didn't speak, just took out a cup and put it in front of Zhongli.

Zhongli had no choice but to pick up the jug and fill up the glass, "Alright, I'll accompany you."

Hong Yi raised his glass to him and drank it down.

Zhong Li couldn't help persuading: "Drink slowly!" Even so, he drank it all in one gulp.

There's no other way, give up your life to accompany the gentleman!

"Hehe..." Hongyi grinned.

He tilted his head and looked at Zhongli, as if he had a lot to say.But he pursed his lips and said nothing after all.

Zhongli picked up the jug and poured her a glass of wine, "Do you know where Miss Luo is now?"

"Don't mention that heartless one to me." Hong Yi snorted coldly.

Sure enough, I had a fight with Miss Luo!
Zhong Li knew a little about the friendship between the two, "There must be a reason why she didn't send you a message."

"What's the reason?" Hongyi snorted dissatisfied, "She can bring things to Steward Tian and the others, so why did she miss me?"

It's like a child!

Zhong Li was quite helpless, "Didn't you tell her where the dark rudder is?"

She thought you would know her whereabouts, so she didn't bother to tell you again.

Hong Yi lay powerlessly on the table, "That damned girl, she's so smart!"

Zhong Li frowned, not understanding what she meant.

Hong Yi didn't intend to explain either.

She looked sideways at the distant sky, and said faintly: "Zhongli, do you know?

Mingchuan is my only relative in this world. "

Zhong Li felt a little uncomfortable, what about him?Hasn't she always regarded him as a relative?
But looking at the red-clothed stunned look, after all, he didn't let himself be self-willed.

Furthermore, from the moment he decided to stay by his side, he never thought about getting anything from her.

After thinking about this, he felt much more comfortable.

He continued to listen to Hongyi's nagging, "Although, sometimes I would complain that she cheated and deliberately gave me the position of Senior Sister.

But I'm just saying it casually.I really regard her as my younger sister and want to protect her under my wings.

But... she is really too smart. "

The last sentence was very soft, but Zhongli still heard it.

His brain was not as fast as his sword, so after Hongyi babbled so much, he was basically in a state of not understanding.

He couldn't bear to look at Hongyi's sadness, and comforted him in a low voice: "Don't worry, Miss Luo knows how good you are to her."

Hong Yi took it for granted, "Of course I know this."

The subject changed, and she said very distressed: "But I don't want her to be like this."

what with what?

Zhong Li was confused, he frowned, but he didn't say anything.

Only Hong Yi lay on the table and continued: "I know, it's because she remembers my kindness.

He also wanted to be nice to me, so he didn't send me anything, let alone send a message back. "

The more I talked, the more confused I became.

Zhong Li felt that he had never guessed what Hong Yi was thinking.

Simply don't guess, just stay with her quietly like this.

The breeze blew, messing with the red hair.

He raised his hand and naturally brushed her hair behind her ears.

Just when he thought Hongyi had fallen asleep, he heard Hongyi ask in a muffled voice, "When are you leaving?"

Zhongli replied very naturally: "Whenever you leave, I will leave."

Hongyi raised her head and sat up straight, "I'm not asking this. I mean... when will you leave Suzhou Mansion."

Her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were soft, but her tone was very serious.

Zhong Li suppressed the soreness in his heart, tilted his head, looked into her eyes and asked, "You want me to leave that much?"

Hong Yi nodded without hesitation, "That's right!"

Zhong Li raised his eyebrows, "Because you like me?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Hong Yi stared at him dissatisfied with wide-eyed anger.

Why is this man so out of tune?
"Ha ha!"

Zhong Li couldn't help laughing, his eyes were shining brightly, brighter than the stars in the sky.

Hongyi felt a little guilty for no reason, turned his head to the side, not looking into those eyes, and muttered in a low voice: "Why are you laughing?! What a lunatic!"

Zhongli: "I laugh because I am happy.

I'm happy because Xue'er has me in your heart. "

"I don't know why!" Hong Yi stood up suddenly, "Zhong Li, let me tell you, don't think that I am a woman in the world, so you can treat me lightly!"

She shook her sleeves angrily and left, not knowing if she was really angry, or if someone had exposed her heart and felt guilty.

Or, maybe both?

"Xue'er!" Zhong Li grabbed her arm, "Why don't you face your heart?"

Hongyi struggled twice but did not break free, and immediately became angry, "Zhongli, all your kung fu was spent on me, a weak woman, isn't it?"

The more unreasonably she made trouble, the happier Zhong Li felt.

Zhong Li put his hands on her shoulders, bent down and looked at her.

The tone was never serious and serious, "Xue Er, I know you have your things to do.

So, I never force you.And please don't force me, okay? "

Hong Yi clenched her teeth tightly, not letting herself reveal any emotions.

With a straight face, she said mockingly: "If your love for me is really as you said, you should listen to me."

Zhong Li hooked the corners of his lips, "You said just now that Miss Luo didn't contact you because she missed you.

And didn't you drive me away because you were worried about me? "

This product is not full of two!

At this time, the mind is quite bright.

Hong Yi broke free from his restraints and took a step back, "All this time, I was just using you."

Let you be my free bodyguard.

Zhong Li grinned the corners of his mouth and smiled very foolishly, "I'm happy with it."

Hong Yi was a little anxious, "You can get nothing with me!" Don't waste your feelings in vain.

Zhongli: "I believe that sincerity is what leads to gold and stone. Doesn't it mean that you already have a place for me in your heart?"

I don't know where the self-confidence comes from.

"you········"

Just as Hongyi was about to speak, she was interrupted by Zhongli shaking his head, "Don't say anything."

I understand your thoughts.

Seeing Zhongli's confident look, Hongyi only felt a toothache, "Zhongli, do you know how much I lost by scaring those people away?!"

Zhongli was very stubborn, "Xue'er, even if you tell me to break the sky, I will not leave."

He paused, and continued: "What's more, you already have my place in your heart now."

Red Clothes: "···········"

Zhongli: "You don't have to deny it, I understand."

Just as Hongyi was about to speak, he was interrupted again, "Although I don't know what you and Miss Luo are going to do, I know that I will definitely help."

"Why are you so stupid?" Hong Yi was so angry that tears rolled down her eyes.

The emotions in my heart also gushed out, and I couldn't restrain it anymore.

"Xue'er, don't cry!" Zhong Li wanted to raise his hand to wipe Hong Yi's tears, but was also worried that Hong Yi would think him frivolous.

But don't wipe it, and don't want her to cry.

Immediately, I was so anxious that I sweated!
"puff"

Seeing Zhong Li's bewildered and clumsy look, Hong Yi couldn't help laughing.

call!
Zhong Li let out a long breath of relief.

Stretching out his arms, he hugged him tightly.

·······················
There are a few dark clouds floating in the gray sky, and the air is sticky and moist.

On the official road, a group of horse-drawn carriages came stomping.

Perhaps because he was worried about encountering heavy rain, the coachman flicked his whip vigorously, and the horse also ran forward vigorously.

A bluestone road sign stood quietly by the side of the road. After years of wind and rain, the lettering on it was somewhat mottled.

The word "Seven Star Town" can be vaguely distinguished.

The carriage passed by, and the rolling wheels left ruts on the road.

A gust of wind blew by, and the trees on the side of the road swayed from side to side, and the leaves rolled up by the wind fell gently on the road sign, and then fell to the ground unsteadily.

"My lord, there is only one inn in this town." Luo Li reported in a low voice in front of Luo Xi's carriage, who came riding a horse.

Luo Xi opened the curtain, and the wet and cold wind hit his face, making him unable to open his eyes.

He waved his hand at Luo Li, signaling him to make arrangements on his own.

"Understood, young master!" After Luo Li agreed, he rode his horse and left.

"Girl, be careful!" Xia Lu pulled the curtain of the car, stretched out her hand, and carefully helped her down.

The wind outside was very strong, Luo Mingchuan raised his hand to cover his eyes, and stepped on the horse stool and walked down after he got used to it.

Chuncao quickly wrapped a cloak around Luo Mingchuan's body, "Girl, the wind is too strong, be careful of catching cold."

Where is she so squeamish? !
Luo Mingchuan waved his hands, signaling them not to be so nervous.

Turning his head and smiling at Si Mohan who shielded her from the wind, he thanked him.

Si Mohan said in a low voice: "It's windy here, you go in first!" I'm the one in the car!
Luo Mingchuan knew that with so many people present, it was not for her to intervene.

"It looks like there will be a heavy rain soon!" Chun Cao lighted the candle and said casually.

Xia Lu packed her things in her hands and muttered, "I don't like this kind of weather the most.

I feel that when I encounter such weather, my mood becomes gloomy. "

What she didn't say was that she was flustered, her eyelids were twitching, and she had an ominous premonition.

Moon Black Wind High Killing Night!

Chuncao's heart was not at ease, but she glanced at the figure standing at the window.

In the end, he didn't dare to express the worries in his heart.

Luo Mingchuan gently pushed the window open a gap, allowing the cold wind to blow in.

Xia Lu: "Girl, it's better not to stand by the window."

Chuncao: "Yes, today's weather is not good, and the wind is also strong."

Luo Mingchuan smiled, "Don't worry, the wind and rain will come eventually, and the sun will also show a smiling face."

Does the girl also have a premonition in her heart?

Chuncao and Xia Lu looked at each other, then silently lowered their heads and continued with what they were doing.

･･････････
The next morning, the sky was still overcast.

The expected storm did not come as promised.

When Luo Mingchuan brought Xia Lu and Chuncao to the lobby, Luo Xi and the others were already waiting there.

As soon as the three of them appeared, everyone's eyes fell on their faces in unison.

After Luo Mingchuan sat down, he asked in surprise: "What's wrong, is there something dirty on my face?"

"That's not true." Luo Xi smiled and shook his head, "Did Ming Chuan sleep well last night?"

"It's okay!" Luo Mingchuan laughed heartlessly, "Brother Luo Xi didn't sleep well?"

Before Luo Xi could speak, Li Jingyun asked first, "Didn't you hear anything?"

what sound?
Luo Mingchuan looked at her in surprise, "I heard the wind."

"what about others?"

Luo Mingchuan was a little impatient, "What exactly do you want to say?"

Ding Xixi smiled and said, "It's nothing. It's just that the wind was too loud, as if someone was crying."

Have it?

Luo Mingchuan blinked his big eyes, "It's a pity that I fell asleep and didn't hear anything."

Forget that I didn't say it!

Ding Xixi showed a distant but not polite smile, "So that's how it is."

Originally, this paragraph could be turned here, but Li Jingyun couldn't bear the loneliness.

She curled her lips and couldn't help muttering: "I really don't know how a person like you can live so long?!"

Luo Mingchuan raised his brows proudly at her, "With Brother Luo Xi here, I'll just be responsible for eating, sleeping, and getting well every day."

Show off!

I've seen someone who shows off, but I've never seen someone who loves to show off so much!

Li Jingyun was so angry that she curled her lips, but said nothing.

Luo Mingchuan ate in a good mood.

If you are not careful, you will eat too much.

"Brother Luo Xi, let's go for a walk!" Anyway, in this weather, it is definitely impossible to continue on our way.

Luo Xi turned to look at the weather outside, hesitating a little.

Luo Mingchuan was very excited, "Brother Luo Xi, I have never been to such a small town.

I want to experience the local customs here. "

Now that we've talked about this, Luo Xi has no choice but to nod, "Okay!"

Li Jingyun and Ding Xixi glanced at each other and decided to follow along.

Luo Mingchuan pouted displeased, "It's just going out for a walk, not to catch a big fair, why are there so many people there?"

Luo Xi persuaded with a smile: "There are so many people!"

"I don't like excitement!" Luo Mingchuan was still unhappy.

Li Jingyun said bluntly: "There are many people who are safe, you don't understand this truth, do you?"
