Chapter 21
As if in a long, long dream, the girl walked in the snow for a long, long time with bare feet and a bell in her hand, before she saw a familiar figure from the back on the frozen lake.

"A Yue!"

She didn't call him "Elder Son" in the dream, but called him "A Yue", just like his family members called him.

The boy turned around, but there was no smile on his face, he just looked at her coldly.

She ran towards him, but cracks began to appear on the frozen lake under her feet, she panicked and shouted loudly: "A Yue, come here quickly, the ice on the lake is about to melt, you will fall, come here quickly... "

But no matter how she shouted, the young man remained motionless, her heart was beating wildly, and she ran towards him without hesitation, "A Yue, come with me!"

Just when she reached out to touch him, the young man said quietly: "Shi Xuanling, why did you lie to me?"

She was stunned, the face that always smiled gently at her was as cold as ice at the moment, and every word was chilling in the cold wind: "You obviously don't love me, why do you want to give me hope and make everything cruel?" Crush it hard?"

"I said before that I hate cheating and betrayal the most. A daughter of your Shi family has already hurt me. Why are you doing the same? Playing me in the palm of your hand and watching me fall again and again, is it interesting? "

"I will never forgive you, in this life, in the next life, and never!"

"No, I didn't, I didn't want to lie to you, A Yue, I just..."

She stepped forward in a panic, stretching out her hand while trying to explain, but the ice suddenly split, and the boy fell into the lake. She wanted to catch him, but there was a layer of mist between them, no matter how hard she tried. , can't touch him.

"Ayue, Ayue—"

She screamed sadly, the fear and despair she had never had before, the pain pierced her heart, the snow whizzed, the sky and the earth collapsed, she also fell into the icy lake, there seemed to be countless hands pulling her , Like a ghost!
"do not want!"

The girl suddenly woke up from the nightmare, gasping for breath, sweating all over her body, which shocked Ji Zhiyue who was guarding the bed.

"Little Bell, you, what's wrong with you? Did you have a nightmare?"

The candle was flickering, the cold wind knocked on the window, Shi Xuanling sat on the bed and blinked, and slowly woke up, only then realized that she had been taken back to Lanxin courtyard.

Her mind was in a mess, but she suddenly thought of something, quickly grabbed Ji Zhiyue's hand, and asked anxiously, "Where is he?"

"Who?"

"Where's the prince?"

"The prince is making medicine for you in the courtyard. Don't worry, he didn't suffer any injuries and is safe and sound, but the master of the young island has some injuries and is still recuperating in the Qinglin Garden in Yuncheng..."

Originally, Mrs. Wan wanted to bring the unconscious Shi Xuanling back to Qinglin Garden, but the more blameless she refused, she insisted on taking him back to Lanxin Courtyard, to their... home on the island.

Shi Xuanling's injury has already been treated. Although it looked horrifying, fortunately, it didn't hurt the root. After a period of rest, his arm should be able to recover freely.

Ji Zhiyue helped Shi Xuanling get out of bed, and slowly came to the door. The young man was squatting in the yard decocting medicine. For some reason, Shi Xuanling's eyes turned red for no reason, and he couldn't help shouting: "My son."

The figure paused, stood up, and looked back at her.

The two looked at each other, the moonlight was shining brightly, and the wind lifted their long hair from the sleeves of their clothes. For a long time, neither of them said a word.

The atmosphere was a bit indescribably subtle, Shi Xuanling looked at the quiet young face, and couldn't help hiding her bandaged arms behind her, like a child who did something wrong.

Ji Zhiyue didn't understand, so Shi Xuanling lowered her head and said in a low voice, "Zhizhi, I think, I made... the prince angry."

-

The girl is ignorant and doesn't understand many things, but she is sensitive to the changes in the boy's emotions.

Yue Wujiu was really angry, he didn't talk to Shi Xuanling much for several days, he just fed her medicine in silence and took care of her as usual.

Shi Xuanling finally couldn't take it anymore, when the young man got up to leave after feeding the medicine again, he quickly grabbed his sleeve and admitted his mistake pitifully: "My lord, I was wrong, I will definitely be careful in the future, and I won't hurt myself again." It's..."

The night before entering Yuncheng, she had promised him that she would adapt to the circumstances and nothing would happen, but not only was she injured, but she was also injured because she was taking a hook for someone else....

Seeing that Yue Wugui didn't speak, Shi Xuanling panicked, and hurriedly continued to explain: "This, this time was an accident, no one expected to be ambushed by Chi Nu people suddenly, at first it was Zhong Lisheng who pushed me , he told me to run away quickly, but I saw that the iron hook was about to scratch his face, and I couldn't bear it for a moment, so I jumped on it..."

"Because, because he told me that his face looks very much like his mother's, but his mother's temper is very weird. It seems that she doesn't love him that much. If he disfigures his face, he won't even think about it." It's..."

The more the girl talked, the more chaotic she became, and she simply poured out all the things that happened in Jinyun City, including Mrs. Li Wan in Qinglin Garden who smashed Zhong Lisheng's head with a medicine bottle. A smashed medicine bottle, and then got into the carriage. In order to comfort Zhong Lisheng who was depressed, she even gave him the nectar made by herself... And finally blocked the iron hook for him, she was purely out of sheer care. I couldn't bear it, and I didn't know what was going on, so I jumped on it when my head got hot.

"I just, I just think that, in fact, he... is quite pitiful."

The girl lowered her head and sighed. The room had been silent for an unknown amount of time before the boy's faint voice sounded in her ears——

"There are so many poor people in this world, do you have to treat each of them like this?"

The girl raised her head, only to meet a pair of bottomless eyes.

"You are kind and pure, but I... am a petty person."

Yue Wujiu finally put down the medicine bowl, sat beside Shi Xuanling's bed, stared at her, and said softly:
"Xuan Ling, you can't be nice to everyone."

He took her hand, pressed it slowly on his chest, stared into her eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "I will feel very uncomfortable here."

Shi Xuanling was stunned, her palm touched the young man's warm chest, feeling the beating of his heart, and for some reason, she was also surrounded by an inexplicable and strange emotion.

While the candle was flickering, the young man continued: "My father gave me a sword when I was young. I was very happy and couldn't put it down. I got up to practice sword every day before dawn, and I didn't even want to eat. But one day, I His sword is gone."

"It turned out that one of my cousins ​​came to the mansion as a guest, and he liked my sword very much when he saw it. My father gave the sword to him as a gift. At that time, I just happened to enter the palace on something, and I didn't know it."

"After I got home, I found out that my sword was missing and was given to someone else by my father. At that time, I became very angry and didn't speak to my father for a full month."

"Later, when that cousin learned of this, he sent back the sword intact, but I was so disheartened that I couldn't be interested in the sword any more, and I didn't even want to look at it again. One glance."

"My father couldn't help it, and asked someone to search for it several times, and finally found a better long sword for me. I engraved my name on the sword and called it 'Luanxin' from then on. I will never leave my body. I am alone, even if I am exiled to Yunzhou Island, I will bring it here."

The night wind beat against the window lattice, the young man's voice was low and hoarse, looking at Shi Xuanling, he said word by word:

"Xuan Ling, you see, I have been like this since I was a child. I never even share the things I love with others, let alone... the one I love?"

"Don't be fooled by my current appearance. I've never been a good-natured person. I'm stubborn, selfish, and...greedy."

"If everyone would give you sugar, then I'd rather not have it."

When the last word fell, the young man also let go of Shi Xuanling's hand, stood up, and was about to leave with the medicine bowl in his hand. Shi Xuanling was anxious, and shouted: "My son!"

The handsome figure stood under the lamp, without turning his head, he just said something meaningful:
"When do you want to understand my words, come to me again."

-

Some things in the world are really strange, making people happy and sad, and making people toss and turn, worrying for no reason, Shi Xuanling suffered from insomnia for three nights.

When she approached Yue Wugui again, her steps were all vain, her face was pale, her lips were bloodless, and she had lost a lot of weight, as if she would fall down if the wind blows.

Under the moonlight, Yue Wujiu was still decocting medicine for her in the courtyard. When he turned his head, before the girl called out "Shizi" sadly, his expression changed suddenly: "Xuan Ling, you, the girl on your skirt... Why is it full of blood? Where did you get hurt?"

Shi Xuanling glanced at the skirt, not surprised, but said aggrievedly: "I don't know, it started to hurt at night, without warning, the stomach hurts badly, the blood keeps bleeding, and I can't stop it, I may suffer Suffered serious internal injuries and was about to die..."

"Don't talk nonsense, you'll be fine, no!"

Yue Wujiu tried his best to suppress his disordered breathing, his eyes turned red instantly: "I'll take you to the doctor right away!"

"My son, you are so stupid, am I not a doctor myself? No one on this island has better medical skills than me, but I can't stop the blood. It keeps flowing from between my legs. I'm sure I won't survive. ..."

"Don't say such things anymore, you will be fine, I will never let you die!" Yue Wugui took off his coat and covered Shi Xuanling's blood-stained skirt, his hands trembling violently.

"Let's go to Yuzhu Residence and find Zhizhi. You may have been poisoned by Chi Nuren, and she will definitely have a solution!"

As he said, he lifted the girl up and hugged him, and the girl hooked him around the neck, a tear rolled down the corner of her eye, and she said aggrievedly: "Don't be angry anymore, I'm about to die, my son, don't be angry with me anymore, okay?"

The young man's long eyelashes trembled slightly, he lowered his head, and met those clear brown eyes, the night wind blew through their clothes, the girl's eyes were dim with tears, and her pitiful voice echoed under the moon:

"I want to understand. I will not be nice to others in the future. I will only be nice to you. I will only give you the nectar I made. I only like you, a little gray cat. Don't be angry, okay?"

 The little gray cat is angry, and the consequences are very serious. The candy given by the female goose is gone, hum╭(╯^╰)╮
