Young man, please stay

Chapter 92
  (The Empress is at the hot spring)
  ------

It's night, Jingzhou Mansion, in the backyard of Ningxiang Pavilion.

The business in the Ningxiang Pavilion in front is still busy. In comparison, the silence in the backyard seems particularly peaceful.

rustle…

The weather at the end of April was a little colder than spring. The breeze blew and the bamboo leaves rustled.

Qin Lang stood in the courtyard with a thin shirt on, staring at the light clouds in the northern sky. His eyes were slightly out of focus, and he did not notice the graceful silhouette of a girl not far behind him, slowly approaching him.

Admittedly, Qin Lang was not to blame for being slow, it was just that Nan Lingyue deliberately kept his steps very light.

She didn't want to disturb him.

Even though Qin Lang had been looking at the north like this every morning and evening since he proposed the "Red Beauty" plan for Ningxiang Pavilion, Nan Lingyue would never disturb him.

Just like tonight, Nan Lingyue also kept looking at Qin Lang's back silently.

It wasn't until he was so strong that he finally shuddered and touched his arm. Nan Lingyue covered his lips with a smile, came behind him lightly, stood on tiptoes, and draped a shawl on his back.

"?"

Qin Lang's shoulders trembled slightly, feeling the gentle care behind him. He was already immersed in some memories, the corners of his lips subconsciously curved slightly, and he couldn't help but murmured as he turned back:

"Silver bottle..."

"..."

However, when he turned around, what he saw was the fleeting look and dimness in a certain girl's eyes, which made Qin Lang's heart inexplicably twitch.

"Ling...Ling Yue..."

"Hehe~ What are you doing so late at night?"

The saint put her hands behind her back, bent slightly and smiled brightly, as lively and playful as ever.

"I... didn't do anything..."

What could have been said easily, Qin Lang looked at her smile, but suddenly didn't know how to say it.

So, while Qin Lang was stunned, Nan Lingyue said it for him:

"Are you thinking about your princess again?"

"..."

Qin Lang was silent, then smiled after a moment:

"Is it that easy to guess?"

"Yes. You spend every morning and midnight in the courtyard looking towards the capital. What else can you do besides thinking about her?"

Nan Lingyue walked up to Qin Lang while repeating his words, and also imitated him and looked at the northern sky.

"Her name... is Yin Ping."

"Ah."

"Su...yin...bottle..."

As a saint of one of the three sects, Nan Lingyue still knows the royal surname:

"It's such a good name. It makes people want to hold it in their hands. No wonder it makes men dream about it..."

"Uh…"

Qin Lang scratched his hair in embarrassment:
  "Mainly...I am his bodyguard, so..."

"Then you are also my bodyguard, aren't you?"

"..."

Nan Lingyue turned her back to him and softly uttered this sentence, leaving Qin Lang speechless for a moment.

The two people stood in the courtyard and were silent for a long time. Nan Lingyue suddenly said:

"Before, you wrote twenty-four stories so quickly and planned the route of Ningxiang Pavilion for the next two or three years. It was probably because you wanted to go to the capital as soon as possible."

Qin Lang did not answer the question directly, but after pondering, he gritted his teeth gently and said:

"Lingyue, I remember at the beginning when you said that we were going to the capital when we were touring various places, and then... you also said that I could just drop by or something."

"Oh, yes."

Nan Lingyue still didn't turn around, nodded, and his two long ponytails trembled leisurely:
  "Why, do you think I lied to you now?"

"That's not it."

Qin Lang shook his head, feeling a little complicated:
  "I just wanted to say...some things...are..."

"It was agreed upon from the beginning. It is what you are destined to do. I know it."

…    Nan Lingyue knew that his nominal male attendant wanted to serve the woman he had always cared about.

It can be said that the Holy Lady at this moment really wants to meet the legendary Princess Qingli, and wants to know what kind of magic power she has. She can make Qin Lang, a strong-blooded man, stand alone. Thousands of miles away, I miss her day and night.

Of course, the Holy Lady at this time did not know that there was actually more than one person that Qin Lang thought about day and night.

……

"I discussed with Wen Xue earlier. She is actually not in good health right now. Coupled with various affairs, although I do still have to visit various places, including going to the capital, there may be more time in Jingzhou Prefecture than expected. Stay for two or three years.”

"Two or three...years?"

"Well, I won't go to the capital until two or three years later."

Qin Lang frowned:

"Why does it take so long? If there is any more trouble that needs to be solved, I..."

"As I said, Wen Xue is not in good health and needs to rest for two or three years... Didn't you say before that I know how to look after people? Anyway, I haven't found anyone who can take over Wen Xue's position, so I have to take over first. Yes, so Qin Lang, are you willing to stay here for another two or three years?"

"I…"

"You must not want to, right?"

Nan Lingyue interrupted Qin Lang without waiting for his answer:

"You have done enough for Ningxiang Pavilion. If we have to talk about friendship, it is time for us to clear up our relationship. You don't owe Tianhe Sect. The sky is high in the world. Do you want to go to the capital? How can I stop you... Just take care of yourself in the past two days and set off at any time."

……

In fact, it was not that long for two or three years...

Wen Xue's health is not good, but she only needs to rest for two or three months.

But just because two or three months was too short, Nan Lingyue knew that Qin Lang would probably stay.

However, instead of watching him miss other women far away day and night during these two or three months, Nan Lingyue decided decisively that it would be better to let him go and let him see his princess earlier.

Maybe when the pain of lovesickness is relieved, he will turn around and start standing in a backyard in the capital, missing someone in Jingzhou Prefecture...

……

"Qin Lang~"

So, the girl with her back to Qin Lang in the night finally turned around with her dress fluttering, and tilted her head with a smile:

"When you arrive in the capital, after you have sex with Princess Qingli, you must also remember to miss me~"

"Ling Yue..."

Qin Lang was a little dull.

Did you see it wrong...

I always felt that the corners of her eyes were a little sparkling just now...

"Oh, look at you, I'm serious. To be honest, I actually like other people's men to a certain extent..."

"..."

"For example, if the princess's man can secretly miss me in private, then I will be very happy~"

"..."

Qin Lang didn't know whether what she said was true or not, but at least for now, the girl's appearance was deeply engraved in his heart.

He originally thought her words were a joke, but before she left, Qin Lang found that he seemed to miss her a little bit...

Qin Lang was also a little self-deprecating about this, but self-deprecation was self-deprecation. When he saw Nan Lingyue turning around and leaving, an unbearable impulse drove him to follow quickly, and then gently hugged the girl from behind. Her delicate body.

"Ling Yue."

"..."

"I...after arriving in the capital..."

"After arriving in the capital, you should stay with your princess. Then, after two or three years, I will grow up and come to the capital to find you. Well...just like you went to the capital to find her~"

After Nan Lingyue finished speaking, he stuffed something into Qin Lang's hand, and then ran into the room.

In the room, Nan Lingyue looked at Qin Lang's somewhat declining and hesitant figure outside through the crack in the door, with mixed feelings in his heart. He leaned his slim back against the door leaf and let out a long sigh.

Humph, what a fool...

It’s only at the end of the day that I know how to take action...

But don't worry, even if you can wait two or three years, I can't afford to wait...

In two or three months at most, it will be my turn to go to the capital to find you...~
