Chapter 13
No matter what Meilin had thought before, she was really out of danger, but she didn't know how to deal with Murong Jinghe.She simply asked him where he wanted to go.

"Where are you going? I'm not going anywhere." Murong Jinghe was drinking her ginseng stewed pheasant soup, and said plainly without even raising his eyelids.

This answer was a bit unexpected for Mei Lin, she knew that this would not be what he really thought, but she still couldn't help being a little happy.This kind of joy was undisguised, and it showed in the eyebrows and eyes.

Murong Jinghe didn't realize that the long-lost hot soup finally made up for the lackluster taste.

Mei Lin didn't speak any more, and concentrated on feeding the soup, let him sit on the bed of the kang to digest his food, and opened the window next to the kang to let the scenery outside flow in, before going out with an empty bowl.

Outside the window is the yard, surrounded by fences, with thorn doors covering the door, and a moss-colored well is located near the fence.The courtyard is compacted mud, and a gravel-paved path extends from the main house to the courtyard gate.There are a few old trees with fallen branches and leaves growing inside and outside the fence. I can't tell what kind of tree it is for a while. The black branches spread out horizontally, reflecting the clear blue sky, which is really a bit wild.Over the fence, you can see the roofs of other houses in the distance and the mountains and cliffs in the distance.

Murong Jinghe looked at the scene in the window quietly, his eyes were deep and quiet like deep water.

Mei Lin has an easy-going temperament, and is not very picky about where she lives, so once she settles down, she has no intention of leaving.If Murong Jing didn't say leave, she wouldn't be too enthusiastic to make a decision for him.In fact, if he was really sent to the place where he should go, he would no longer be able to live here.She felt that she liked it here, and it would be best if he didn't leave.

Since Murong Jing and the other side have nothing to do, she has to concentrate on preparing for the winter.Perhaps not only food and clothing must be considered, but also other...

Carrying the chopped firewood into the woodshed one by one, Mei Lin was busy thinking about the things that needed to be done one by one.Unexpectedly, when there was still a small part left in the hug, Lian Chai and others fell to the ground of the firewood house.

After two days of cloudiness, it finally started to rain. The rain was not too heavy, but the patter was really annoying.

Murong Jinghe watched as the unfinished firewood in the yard was wet, and the rain was blown by the wind through the half-open window, and sprinkled on his half-covered old quilt, and soon a large area was wet.

It wasn't until it was dark that Mei Lin appeared from nowhere without a sound, holding a dimly lit tung oil lamp in his hand, reflecting a beautiful face as pale as a ghost.

The rain is still falling, and it will increase.

"Where have you been?" Murong Jinghe quietly watched her climb onto the kang and close the window, then removed the quilt that had become heavy due to being full of water, and wiped the water stains on the quilt with a dry cloth towel, Speak to break the silence.

Mei Lin paused, then continued.

"Someone asked for help, and it took a long time." She said lightly, her forehead drooping, a little messy, a little wet.

Murong Jinghe caught the suppressed suffocation and exhaustion from that light tone, narrowed his long eyes, and mocked with a slight displeasure: "How many words are true about you woman?" There was something in his words .

Mei Lin looked up at him, pursed her lips and pulled out an arc that could barely be called a smile, she didn't refute his words, but didn't say anything else.

She's more silent than ever, but her work remains the same.

The kang was burned, covered by a quilt, and the mattress was not much wet, so it was not changed, and in fact there was nothing to change.Therefore, it can only be dried on the heat of the kang.He boiled water for Murong Jinghe to take a bath, removed the coldness from his body, served the diet and relief, and replaced the quilt with a little thicker clean clothes to make do for the night before he was done.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that they are all going around Murong Jing and her husband, but she has nothing to do about herself.

In the past, in order to take care of him conveniently, and because there were no extra bedding, and to save firewood for the kang, the two of them slept on the same kang.After helping him to sleep that night, she went out with the oil lamp and never came back.

That night, Kang never got cold.

Although there was no quilt, Murong Jinghe felt hot, it was hot, but not unbearably hot.It's just that he can't sleep.Maybe no matter who, lying all day and doing nothing, will not be able to sleep.

There were subtle noises from the kitchen from time to time, letting him know that the woman hadn't slept all night.

Before the sky was completely clear, Meilin came in with a bowl of hot porridge and two buns. This time she didn't light the lamp, and her hands trembled a little when she leaned over to support him.He saw that in just one night, her eye sockets seemed to have sunken a lot, her lips were as white as death, and there were deep bite wounds on them.

"You..." Turning his face away from the porridge handed to his lips, Murong Jinghe hesitated for a moment before asking, "What's wrong?"

The spoon made a crisp sound when it touched the wall of the bowl, Mei Lin unconsciously bit her lip again, her teeth sank into the blood-clotting wound, the trembling of her hands stopped slightly, her chest heaved twice, and she suddenly raised her eyes to stare at him, Blunted: "Give me the antidote, and I'll take you to where you want to go."

Murong Jing met her eyes without avoiding it, full of research, and said slowly: "What antidote?"

Meilin's eyes dimmed, she stopped talking, and handed over the porridge in the spoon.

Murong Jing's eyes fell on her bleeding lips, and she opened her mouth after a long while to drink the porridge in the spoon.After drinking half a bowl and eating most of the steamed bun, he turned his head away.

"I said I'm not going anywhere." Looking at the woman who sat on the side with her head bowed and silently eating his leftover food, he reiterated.

Mei Lin hummed, but didn't raise her head, and the joy of that day was nowhere to be seen on her face. The slightly curved back made people feel a kind of tension that seemed to be broken at any time.

After eating the leftovers in a hurry, she went out, and when she came back, she was holding the wet quilt from yesterday.It was already dry at this time, and when I covered my body, I could still feel the warmth with the smell of firewood.

"I'll be back before noon..." She turned over Murong Jinghe, massaged her limbs and the side of her body next to the kang, she said.Looking at the window that let in the quiet dawn, the rain still didn't stop, pattering on it, and after a pause, she said again: "It's raining, so I won't open the window today." Lying down all night, unable to even turn over, is such an uncomfortable thing.Therefore, before going out, he would raise his body a little higher and open the windows, at least so that his sight would not be trapped within the room.

"Where are you going?" Murong Jinghe looked at her and asked thoughtfully.

Mei Lin shook her head, did not answer, raised her hand to smooth her somewhat messy hair, and walked out quickly.

Seeing her back disappearing at the door, and then the sound of closing the door, a glint of haze flashed across Murong Jinghe's eyes.

Meilin didn't go to other places, she went to the old man, and when she went back, she just got some common herbs for detoxification and pain relief.In fact, she knew in her heart that it was of little use, but it didn't hurt to try.

In fact, she could pass the situation of Murong Jinghe back to the organization, as well as the miraculous tomb under the stone forest. Any one of them could help her get the antidote, and it was the one with the best effect.But this kind of thought just flashed through her mind and was thrown away without hesitation.

Not to mention the troubles that would be caused by revealing Murong Jinghe's whereabouts, it was she herself who finally had the opportunity to leave the organization, and then went back to provoke her, wouldn't it be easy to find trouble?What's more, up to now, she is still not sure whether Murong Jinghe is that person, let alone act recklessly.

Not only did the deceit in the morning not make her see the slightest clue, but it confused her even more.But it's not unusual, since Zhong Shan's catastrophe happened, she already knew that if she was playing with her mind, she couldn't match him in flattery.Instead of this, it would be better to go straight in the future.

Back home, Meilin boiled the herbal medicine and drank it. Apart from the warmth and bitterness that slid from the throat all the way to the stomach, there was no other special reaction.The pain is still a painful pain with tens of thousands of needles, even though I have been familiar with it for so many years, it has not become a habit because of it.

Her strength was losing little by little, but her internal strength was surging more and more. The meridians that had become fragile due to the poison were bulging, and it seemed that they would burst out at any moment, tearing her to pieces.

She has always known that the recovery of internal energy is strange, but she never thought that one day it could become fatal.

With trembling hands grabbing something nearby, she stood up, and before she could breathe, her chest twitched, and with a "wow", all the medicine she had just drank was poured out again.The smell of the kitchen, which is already permeated with medicine, is even deeper.

Meilin took out a handkerchief, wiped off the juice left on her mouth and nose, collected herself, and then went to the water tank to scoop up cold water to rinse her mouth.

When she appeared in front of Murong Jinghe again, she had already tidied herself up, and she couldn't tell anything except her complexion.Since Murong Jinghe asked her once and didn't get an answer, he wouldn't ask her again.

After two days like this, on the third day, Mei Lin finally couldn't hold on anymore, and fainted in front of Murong Jinghe.

When she woke up, she saw his frowning brows, she didn't explain anything, and went to drink a couple of sips of cold water to cheer herself up a little.

"I can't take care of you..." When she came back, she said straight to the point, paused, and then said, "Tell me a reliable place, and I'll take you there." When she said this, she suddenly felt uncomfortable.It turned out that even if she wanted to raise him for a lifetime, even if he was willing to let her raise him, it would not work.

Murong Jinghe looked at her face that had lost weight rapidly in just two days, and asked slowly, "Where do you want to go if you throw me away?"

Mei Lin's heart was shrunk by the word "throw away", but at this moment she didn't want to worry about it anymore, she took a deep breath, barely calmed down, and smiled wryly, "Wherever you go, it doesn't matter." She originally planned to live here forever, However, I couldn't bear the pain of poisoning, so I could only walk around to see if I could find a way to detoxify, even if it could relieve the pain a little.

Murong Jinghe fell silent, looked away from her face and looked out of the window, looking at the distant mountains and horizontal emeralds, mixed with brown, yellow and drunken red, after a long while, said lightly: "If you think I'm a burden, you can just go, why bother with me."

Mei Lin was startled, she didn't expect him to say that.According to his previous temper, if he still needed her, he would probably use threats instead of such angry words.

She moved her lips, she wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say, in the end she just sighed softly and walked out.

Of course she would not abandon him, but it was unrealistic to seek medical treatment around with a person who was unable to move, so she could only stay where she was, and make it through the day.

"It is said that the leaves of Datura and the root of Diwusuo can relieve pain." One day later, Murong Jinghe said suddenly.

These two kinds of medicines can be found in the mountains, Meilin has nothing to worry about now, so she tried to gather some to boil water to drink.At that time, the effect was not obvious, but after one or two hours, just when she thought it was useless, the pain that had tortured her for several days really eased a lot.

Meilin thought, could the pain be completely relieved by adding more important doses?So, taking advantage of her recovery, she went into the mountains to pick a basket of datura and ground berries, thinking that it was always right to get more.

Murong Jinghe was shocked when he saw it through the window.

"If you want to die, use that dagger so cleanly and neatly, why bother." He hurriedly called her to stop, and said angrily.

Meilin finally knew that if the dosage of these two medicines was too large, it would be fatal, and her idea of ​​relying on increasing the dosage to eliminate the toxic effect in the body had to be shattered.But no matter how you say it, with these two herbs, it is always much better than before.

The physical pain was no longer unbearable. That night, she finally returned to the kang, fell asleep for the first time in many days, and slept until the medicine wore off and was awakened by the pain.Just like this, she is already very satisfied.

First, she went to the kitchen to boil a bowl of medicinal juice and drink it. While waiting for the medicinal properties to take effect, she made breakfast for Murong Jing who woke up and freshened up.After breakfast, the concoction began to take effect, and she seized the opportunity to go to the mountains to prepare for the winter.

The recovered internal force in the body is growing at a perceivable speed every day. After the pain subsides, although it is no longer as strong and violent as before, as if it is about to burst out, it will still swell and make people uncomfortable. I wish I could find something to vent. .

Meilin then hunted desperately, but he didn't expect that he was exhausted the first day, his internal energy lamp was exhausted, and it was difficult to even move. After waking up, the zhenqi in his body was even more violent and ferocious.For those who practice martial arts, this kind of phenomenon is tantamount to a sudden blessing, but Mei Lin is not overjoyed by it.She could feel that this internal force was different from what she had cultivated in the dark factory before, it was too tyrannical, so tyrannical that one day it might even swallow the host together.

Murong Jinghe obviously also noticed her abnormality.He lay on the bed all day long, except for looking out the window, he could only observe the only moving living thing in the house.Looking at it like this for a day or two, with his keenness, how could he not see it?

"What's the matter with your internal strength?" He asked when Meilin massaged his body that day.

Mei Lin was worrying about this matter, knowing that he was well-informed and resourceful, hearing the question was right in his heart, so he hurriedly explained the matter in general.She didn't want to take out some solution from him, but it would be enough to use his wisdom to deduce the reason.

After hearing this, Murong Jinghe's eyes sparkled with interest, obviously very interested.

"You and I live in the same room, and we have never been separated..." He pondered for a moment, then confirmed the exact time when this situation happened, and said, "Did you encounter anything special in that coffin?"

As soon as Mei Lin Jing reminded him, he couldn't help but think of that beautiful man and his dizzying fragrance.

"Did you move the corpse?" Murong Jing frowned.

"I want to take the jade pillow under his head, naturally..." Mei Lin felt slightly uneasy, and explained unconsciously, but was interrupted by Murong Jing impatiently.

"Can that kind of corpse move around? Do you have a brain?"

I was scolded again.Mei Lin was a little depressed, but it was not as uncomfortable as last time, only because he could feel the worry under his reprimand... Maybe it was worry.

"He's not necessarily dead," she muttered, still not believing it was a dead person.

"That stone forest has existed for thousands of years, and you still expect that person to be put in there just now?" Murong Jinghe said angrily. It’s a good thing you’ve been dreaming of, so you can take advantage of it.”

Hearing the perfunctory in his tone, Mei Lin stopped talking.So the matter of the rebirth of internal force came to an end, and the two of them stopped talking about it for a long time afterwards.

Although Laowozi Village is poor, its life is peaceful and leisurely, without intrigue, let alone constant fear.Meilin had never lived this kind of life as long as she could remember, and she felt that it was worth suffering a little bit for it.

It's just that although the pain from the poison was relieved a lot by the herbal soup, the poison did not weaken the consumption of the body. In addition, the conflict with the increasing internal force caused her to pass out several times afterwards.Once, on the way back from hunting, I was sent home by a villager in the same village.

When she woke up, she found herself lying on the kang, and Murong Jing, who was facing her, had a bad expression on her face. Before she could recall what had happened, she heard a man with a drake voice talking in local slang. Absolutely.

Looking back in a daze, she saw a short man sitting cross-legged at the end of the kang, drinking water from a bowl while talking to Murong Jinghe.To be precise, it was he who was speaking, and Murong Jinghe was in charge of listening.

There was a smell of bean drums in the room, which made Meilin almost faint again.

When the man saw Meilin wake up, he had a look of surprise on his face, if he hadn't been suppressed by Murong Jing and the coldness in his eyes, he might have rushed over.

"My lady of the Lin family, you're finally awake, drink some water..." He approached enthusiastically as he spoke, and was about to hand her the bowl in his hand.

As he moved, the stench became more intense, Mei Lin's face turned pale, he stood up a little, took the bowl, but didn't drink.

"You are..." Although she really wanted to drive this inexplicable man out, her habit of being cautious only made her face a faint smile, and the most important thing was to find out the reason of the matter.

She was already beautiful, and this smile bloomed naturally like a delicate flower, and her pale face was even more charming, which would never weaken the beauty that was completely different from ordinary village girls.

The man stared blankly, if it wasn't for Murong Jing and Leng snorting, his saliva would probably flow down.

Although Mei Lin was displeased, she didn't show it on her face at all. She lifted the quilt off the kang, and tucked the quilt back in for Murong Jing and He, only then did she hear the man's stuttering explanation, and it took her a while to understand. It turned out that this person sent him back when he fainted to the ground.

No matter how others saved her, she didn't want to put on any face, and immediately picked a muntjac, two hares and five pheasants from the returned prey as thanks, and finally sent them away.Although the people in Laowozi Village live close to the mountains, few of them know how to hunt, and most of them still live on a few acres of barren land, so the few things she gave are quite generous.

After seeing off people and returning to the big house, there was still that smoky smell wafting inside, Murong Jinghe's complexion was naturally not much better.Mei Lin still remembered his reaction when he smelled the ghoul, seeing how he could endure it for so long without having an attack, he couldn't help being both amused and sympathetic.

"I want to go outside." He said, apparently unable to bear it anymore.

Hearing this, Mei Lin subconsciously glanced out the window, and found that it was already evening, the mountains and forests were glowing, and the sky was blue and far away. It was a refreshing autumn evening scene.Thinking that he hadn't been out for a long time, she responded, then found a barely intact chair and put it against the wall before carrying him on her back.

As soon as she put the person on her back, before taking two steps, her ears were bitten, her legs gave way, and she almost fell down.

"You can't fall in love with that kind of guy." Murong Jing and Yi said in a lower voice than usual, the tone was unquestionable, and it seemed that the order was more questionable.

Mei Lin regained her composure before continuing to walk out again, trying to figure out what he meant, and couldn't help laughing.

"What are you thinking about?" Everyone in the village thought that the two were husband and wife, so why would they think of her?What's more, knowing her own body and taking care of him, how could she have the energy to harm others?
Murong Jing and her lips curled up, still biting her tightly, "Then you still smile so coquettishly at him?"

There are thousands of styles and styles... In an instant, Meilin's mind was filled with these words, and he almost spurted out a mouthful of blood. After a while, he said bitterly: "I smile at you even more charmingly." , I don't see what's wrong with you." She was already so angry that she couldn't choose what to say, and she didn't realize it until she finished speaking, her face turned red.

Murong Jing and "Pu Chi" laughed out loud, in a good mood, when Mei Lin put him in the chair, his expression had returned to normal, no longer the face that others owed him millions.

Meilin helped him put on some clothes, then went back to the house, changed the face of the bedding and soaked it in a basin, opened all the windows, and smoked the house with wormwood and other things.Even she herself didn't know why she couldn't bear the smell of other people on the kang, after all, she had been crowded with other people before, and she had stayed in even dirtier and smellier environments.

She couldn't figure it out, and she didn't bother to think about it, but when she was doing all this, she couldn't stop thinking about the sentence she accidentally said just now, her face was getting hotter and hotter, and her heart was pounding hard.Shame and embarrassment, and some inexplicable expectations, just like... just like when the two were still crawling close to each other in the narrow corridor, and he whispered her name in her ear.

"Woman, if I stay like this for the rest of my life, will you still guard me?" Just as Meilin was squatting by the well and started scrubbing the quilt, Murong Jinghe withdrew his eyes from the sky and said suddenly.

For a lifetime... Mei Lin stopped moving, her drooping eyes darkened, and she didn't answer.

Where did she come from for a lifetime to promise?

At that time, there was no answer from Meilin, Murong Jinghe didn't look unhappy, but just smiled, and turned his eyes to the horizon again.

In their minds, this is not a big deal, and they thanked them, and it was probably over.Unexpectedly, a woman came the next day.

Mei Lin was going to go hunting, but the woman came early, it was a coincidence that she missed her.The mother-in-law's family name is Liu, and this is the first time the two have met.

When Mrs. Liu saw Mei Lin who was buttoning the door, she didn't say hello, but stood there and looked her up and down, looking at her, she wished she could take off her clothes and study her.

Meilin was horrified by the look, and just about to speak, she already muttered.

"It's a handsome little lady. She's a little thinner, but her buttocks are viable..."

Mei Lin's complexion changed slightly, but it was only an instant, and he laughed in the blink of an eye, that smile was really bright and dazzling.Seeing that Mrs. Liu's old eyes were dazzled, and at the same time she cried out in her heart that it was a pity, she twisted her old waist and leaned forward, and before the other party could speak, she just kept getting closer.

"Where are you going, little lady?" After a long time, she seemed to realize that the other party was going out.

Meilin was thinking about her reason for coming, and said with a smile: "It's going to be winter, and there is no ready-made food at home. I just want to go to the mountain to see if I can get something to deal with." Because I want to ask the hunter how to deal with the fur As well as selling prey, almost no one in Laowozi Village knows that she can hunt, so there is nothing to hide.

Hearing her words, Mrs. Liu sighed for a while, and just when the smile on Meilin's face was about to stop, she yelled pityingly: "It's really a crime, you want such a delicate little lady to run into the mountains all day, What should I do if I encounter a wolf or a big bug?"

Mei Lin was still smiling, but didn't speak, nor did she intend to let her into the room.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Mrs. Liu had no choice but to continue to say: "If there is a useful man in the family, does the little lady still have to suffer this much?"

Mei Linxiu's eyes sank slightly, and her tone became cold: "What's the old aunt talking about? Is there any useless man in my family?" Even if Murong Jinghe couldn't move, he was more useful than most men in the world.She was angry in her heart, but she didn't realize that she had unconsciously regarded him as the man in the family.

Hearing this, Mrs. Liu had an undisguised look of contempt on her face, and snorted before noticing her displeasure, and hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "Little lady has a man in her family, the old lady knows of course, but she is not afraid to say something that offends her." , it’s good that the head of your family doesn’t implicate the little lady, how can it be of any use?”

"If you know you will offend others, why bother to say it?" Mei Lin sneered, no matter how blunt, "Whether my man is useful or not has nothing to do with you, an outsider? The old aunt should invite you." After saying that, she was about to leave.

Mrs. Liu only said that a young and beautiful woman was full of complaints when facing a paralyzed man all day long, and she wanted to find someone to confide in, but she didn't expect that the other party would react like this, and she was a little stupid at the moment, and hurriedly grabbed the other party's sleeve.

"What's the matter, old aunt?" Meilin wanted to live here for a long time, and didn't want to offend anyone severely, so she endured it now, her tone slightly gentle.

Fearing that she would be driven away before her purpose of coming here was stated, this time Mrs. Liu stopped beating around the bush and told her intentions honestly.

"Young lady, don't be surprised, the old lady is actually here to congratulate you."

Meilin raised her eyelids, feeling a strange feeling in her heart, but she didn't answer.

Mrs. Liu had no choice but to say: "My wife also knows Wei Er Er at the head of the village." Kanmeilin showed a puzzled look, so he added, "It is Wei Er Er who rescued my wife on the mountain road yesterday."

Meilin nodded to show that she knew, and Mrs. Liu went on to say, "Second Wei fell in love with a lady, and wanted to ask her to come home as a aunt. The second Wei's family has five acres of good paddy fields and four acres of fertile land. Those who have never been married..."

When she heard that she was going to be asked to be a mother-in-law, Mei Lin was shocked, how could she hear the unfathomable praise behind Mrs. Liu?

"Old aunt, there is a man in my family." She was funny and angry, and said with emphasis.

Mrs. Liu stopped and looked at her strangely, "What's the point? There are several houses in this village with one daughter and two husbands. The second Wei doesn't dislike it, and is willing to help the lady raise that paralyzed..." Seeing Mei Lin With an ugly face in an instant, Mrs. Liu immediately realized that she had slipped her words, and hurriedly slapped herself in the face, and said twice, "The old lady is mean, little lady, don't blame it, don't blame it."

Mei Lin held back her anger, but curled her lips without responding.

"Where can I find such a good thing? You only need to nod your head, little lady, and you will be able to sit at home and enjoy the blessings in the future." The more Mrs. Liu talked, the more she couldn't figure out what the other party was thinking. She was afraid that she would say a few words that would offend others, so she was too busy to do it. summed up.

Mei Lin closed her eyes, tried her best to suppress the urge to kick someone, and opened her eyes again, with a lovely and pitiful expression on her face.

"I'm sorry, Auntie. It's just that a good girl doesn't serve her second husband. I can't bear the infamy..." Seeing that Mrs. Liu wanted to continue persuading her, she hurriedly said, "Besides, my head of the house is very good although he has limited mobility. , if I remarry, I will make him sad. He is not in good health, if there is a good or bad because of this, how can I enjoy happiness in peace?"

The words made Mrs. Liu speechless, probably because she was afraid of killing someone, she couldn't push her anymore, so she said a few more casual words, told Meilin to think again, and then left resentfully.

She left this way, but Mei Lin had no intention of going out, and couldn't find a place to vent her anger.

Murong Jing and Zheng were sitting on the bed looking out of the window in a daze, watching her turn around angrily, tossing and banging in the kitchen for a while, without knowing what she did, then sneaked into the firewood room and took out a pile of logs Hack in the yard.Her posture didn't look like she was chopping firewood, but rather like chopping people.So, I couldn't help laughing.

"Woman, come here." He called.

Meilin chopped two pieces of firewood with puffed cheeks, then stopped, and looked back to see the smiling man in the window.Old white tunic, jet-black hair scattered on the mattress behind him, with a lazy expression, his handsome face is slightly pale, but his eyebrows and eyes are bent, and he is full of smiles.

With just one glance, all the anger in her stomach suddenly vanished, and only the beating heartbeat could be heard in her ears, like thunder.She lowered her head, her ears were hot, and she became inexplicably coy.

"Hey, I'm deaf. I told you to come here, didn't you hear me?" Murong Jinghe's voice came again, with a hint of strangeness in his tone.

Let it go!Mei Lin suddenly raised her head and glared at him, dropped the axe, and really walked over.
