Food Fairy Lord

Chapter 256 Returning Home

Pei Ye felt as if his heart was being squeezed to death.

At the same time, irritation rushed up - thinking of his cowardly acceptance, running away halfway, and indecision, he felt as if the air was suffocating in his mouth and nose.

He couldn't figure out how he could be so rigid. When he saw the girl, the unreasonable timidity and panic filled his heart. Everything he had thought about was wiped away, and his mind went blank.

That's really not what he was thinking last night.

He would either pretend to know nothing and block all the girl's temptations, or simply reject the girl and then stand quietly in front of her and stay with her until the stars fall into the night.

Anyway, it’s not like leaving a specious remark and then turning around and running away like a coward.

Because in this matter, he should be in a superior position and should have such calmness, calmness, and patience.

He is clearly invincible, and the thread that affects the girl's emotions is in his hands. He should take the responsibility of returning it carefully.

But the process cut him first.

The annoyance with himself was not the worst part of Pei Ye's heart.

It just made him feel defeated and like a loser, but it could be relieved. No one could do everything well all the time, and he was just a teenager who was so unfamiliar with this emotion that he panicked.

What really depressed him deeply at this time was another thing that made him breathless.

From the dark stone streets, from the green willows in the cold, from the drizzle and cool air, from the gray walls and black tiles, from everything around me now. This was an uncomfortable feeling that Pei Ye had never experienced before. It was not pain or sadness, but stuffing his heart into a sealed steamer, suffocating and twisting it.

Even though he acted like a mess, he did show his attitude, something that had been suppressing him these days was released, and he should have felt a sense of relief in his depression.

However, no.

Only a deeper depression came over him. Pei Ye walked quickly, suddenly took a deep breath and kicked the willow tree beside him.

Broken rain splashed like flying beads.

He grabbed his hair irritably, lowered his head and walked quickly back to the martial arts gym.

As soon as he opened the door, Yang Yan was still reading "Bengxue" under the eaves. Seeing him coming back, she raised her eyebrows and stood up to hand over the book: "Have you been chatting for so long? I need to practice my sword quickly."

"Don't bother!" Pei Ye waved his hand, got into the house, closed the door with a bang, and heard the sound of the bed being slammed heavily in the room.

The courtyard returned to silence, as if no one had come back just now.

Yang Yan was stunned: ".?"
-

Lakeside.

The silk rain is like weaving, and the thin waves are like folds.

Li Mingqing stood quietly on the boat, her delicate bun soaked softly by the drizzle. Until the young man's hurried back completely disappeared from sight, she remained as still as a statue.

For a long time, she lowered her head and walked gently out of the boat, tied the untied cable back on, and then squatted on the spot again in a daze.

I still feel like I can't find my body again.

It takes many pieces of laughter to pile up the beauty like petals, but it only takes a gentle push to break them apart.

It turns out that Pei Ye doesn't like herself.

This sentence emerged from her heart in a daze, and the girl couldn't even feel the sharpness and twist it should have.

It was quiet for a while, and there was no one around. No one was helping her. The girl stood up on the bollard and felt the cool rain and cold mist again.

The cool breeze blew from behind, and she turned back to glance at the lake. This clear scene just now made her heart jump with excitement, but now it was just a common scene.

She shivered slightly, used her true energy to warm her body, lowered her head and walked onto the stone street, the girl lightly kicking her steps.

In fact, it's nothing.

she thinks.

It's normal for Pei Ye not to like himself.

You've been having too much fun these days, Li Mingqing, so you're definitely going to get a little kickback. How can everything go as planned?

In fact, Pei Ye must have been feeling very uncomfortable these days. Those embarrassments and depressions were imposed on him by himself. Now that he had talked about it and failed, it was just right.

There is nothing between them anymore, this weird thing has been removed, and they are still good friends who are so close that they talk about everything.

Pei Ye should be very relaxed now.

Thinking of this, the girl's heart really dropped, but she soon felt comforted.

You are causing too much trouble. Li Mingqing should apologize to him tomorrow.

The girl's heart was covered with a vague barrier, and she was thinking in a daze.

------

Returning to Cuiyu Courtyard, she opened the door and found Li Weiru sitting in the hall with tea.

Seeing the girl raising her eyebrows, she smiled and said, "Why don't you use an umbrella? You'll get all wet."

The warm room and the familiar smile made Li Mingqing's nose sore. She lowered her head without saying anything and walked around to the inner room.

"Eh?" Li Weiru reached out and grabbed her in confusion, then smiled and held her arm, "What's wrong?"

The frail and kind old man tilted his head and opened his eyes, looking at the girl from below: "What's going on, do you want to cry?"

"No." Li Mingqing said in a low voice.

"Why is there anyone in Bowang who can make our young master of Cuiyu feel wronged now?" The old man joked as usual, but the concern and distress in his eyes were clearly revealed. He gently pulled the girl to him. Side by side, "What's wrong? Talk to Master."

This was the comfort he often got when he was crying as a child. At this time, the distant reflection came up, and Li Mingqing's nose became sore again.

But she is no longer a child now, and she is far away from the age where she would chat in front of the old man whenever something happened. She can talk to Senior Sister Shen about these things, but she is no longer willing to confide in front of the old man.

"It's nothing." Li Mingqing lowered her head, "It's just a small matter. I'm going back to the house first."

"Okay." The old man lowered his eyes, but his smile did not diminish and he did not ask any more questions, "But you can't go back to the house yet."

"Huh?" Li Mingqing raised her eyes.

"Let me tell you something - I made an appointment with Mr. Sui to see you tomorrow."

"Oh, yes, it's about the Sword Mastery Academy?"

"Yes." Li Weiru nodded with a smile. This time he was sincerely happy. He sighed softly, "I told you a long time ago that while I can still hold on for two years, I will send you to a higher place, so as not to really I have wasted my talent in my life. I had a chat with Mr. Sui today, and he was very relaxed and said that you were already waiting for selection and that he would be willing to move some time tomorrow to take a closer look at you."

"Oh." This was indeed serious business. Li Mingqing cheered up, "Then I'm going to prepare?"

"Well, don't be nervous. You used the newly learned [Washing Tree Bronze Shadow] very well that day in Wubi. Just show it to Mr. Sui."

"Okay." Li Mingqing nodded, turned around and took two steps into the house. Then he thought about it and turned back, "Where is it, the Immortal Terrace or the State Yamen?"

"It's Changdao Martial Arts School." Li Weiru smiled.

".Why are you there?"

"Things to discuss today."

"Oh."

"And Mr. Sui won't show up. You can go to the martial arts hall tomorrow morning and practice your sword skills. He will see you in the dark."    ".Okay."

Li Mingqing was about to go back to the house, but saw the old man standing up with his sword in hand: "I won't be back much these days. Cuiyu and Shen Yao have to take on more things."

The girl was stunned: "What are you doing?"

"It's also a meeting task." Li Weiru smiled, "Things have started to be done, everyone is busy."

"."

"I'm going to keep an eye on the other 'fruit.'" Li Weiru tied the sword to his back and said in a low voice, "Today's meeting said that Huansilou might still come, so we set up this trap. Mr. Sui is keeping an eye on Pei Ye. , An Sifeng and Wu Hejian must be exposed, so I will keep an eye on this."

".Shang Huaitong?"

Li Weiru smiled in approval and put on his cloak: "Okay, let's go to bed early."

"Yeah." Li Mingqing didn't know what to say. She felt her brain was still a little sluggish, "Be careful."

Li Weiru nodded and smiled, turned around and disappeared into the darkening sky.

Li Mingqing stood quietly in the hall for a while.

Although she really didn't want to confide her feelings to the old man, the old man did give her some warmth and support while sitting in the hall. Now that the figure was gone, the whole room felt a little empty. She thought for a while and knew that she should prepare at this time. Tomorrow's sword test.

So he went back to the house and took out the Lost Cui Sword. After practicing for two hours, it was completely dark.

It was quiet all around.

She marked some small problems in her mind and rehearsed them several times to ensure that she would not make any mistakes tomorrow. The girl stood for a while, feeling that the silence around her was trying to stir up something in her heart. She took a gentle breath, Returning the sword to its sheath, he walked back into the house.

Lighting the candle, the girl opened "Yellow Jade" at the table. It was covered with dense handwriting from her previous practice. The oldest one was from two years ago.

Li Yiqing flipped through the pages carefully. Although there should be no question and answer session on sword theory tomorrow, a person's understanding of sword theory can be reflected on the sword. I heard that compared to Ye Luzi's practical sect, sword repairers The academy prefers those with a clear sword and a clear mind, so more attention must be paid to this aspect.

[Walking in water to pick off scales]

【Hiding Clouds to Catch Birds】

[Plundering fire through waterfall]

[immovable dangerous wind]

The girl turned over the pages of the book one by one, scrutinized the notes she took at the time, and carefully read the description and analysis of each sword. The shadow of the lamp swayed, and the girl's face remained calm. She held a sword in her hand and made gentle gestures from time to time.

Turned to the next page.

【Broken Leaves Return】

Suddenly the girl frowned and saw a sentence: "The dividing line in the third chapter lies in this sword. Before it was mortal, after that it was spiritual."

She has read this sentence many times, and the meaning is easy to understand - starting from the return of the broken leaves, the sword has indeed become a level more complex, and its power has also obviously increased to a higher level. It is said to be the beginning of "spirit", and Nothing is impossible.

But after learning [Cleaning Tree Bronze Shadows] a few days ago, when she read this sentence now, she suddenly had a new understanding.

Is this talking about sword moves?

Starting from this move, Huang Jade, as an image of observation, is no longer just an ordinary bird walking on trees and skimming water, looking for food and resting. It seems to have begun to have a more independent consciousness and stronger abilities.

This discovery made the girl suddenly open her eyes. She immediately picked up the pen next to her, quickly wrote down on it, and then made a heavy circle.

Halfway through the painting, I was stunned.

Just on this page, there are two identical circles with dried ink.

There's more on the preceding pages.

These are all inspirations or puzzles that came to mind when the girl was reading the Bible a few days ago. Checking a circle is waiting to talk to Pei Ye next time.

The girl was stunned for a while. In fact, sourness had already emerged from the bottom of her heart, but she still gave herself a smile, gently finished drawing the circle, and murmured as usual: "Let's ask Pei Ye when we meet."

But when the word "meet" passed through her mind, the huge implication it involved suddenly enveloped the girl's mind, and she fell silent again.

How to meet?

Pretend that nothing happened, just hold this book and ask him directly like before?

Of course not. Now that something has happened, if you want to return to a normal relationship, you have to resolve it.

If we meet, we must talk about this matter first.

So how to talk about it?

Use a very relaxed tone and make two common jokes. He told him with a smile, "Pei Ye, it's nothing," and then he pointed at himself and teased, "Haha, Li Mingqing! You actually like me!"

Then he would stare at him.

So it went.

This scene made the girl suddenly feel relaxed, and a smile appeared on her lips, but the next moment she felt inexplicable sourness and grievance, her nose felt sore, and her eyes suddenly turned red.

Is this the final result?

How could it end so vaguely and casually?

Are my feelings that cheap and frivolous? Pei Ye, will he feel that he is not serious at all?

The girl suddenly realized that she would never be willing to accept such a result. It must be worthy of a formal and serious conversation.

She must tell him seriously, Pei Ye, I am serious, I really like you. But... if you don't like me, there's nothing you can do about it, anyway.

She was stunned again.

So what do Pei Ye think?

Could it be that he is already bored with me?

Maybe, he didn't want to be a "good friend" with him at all. How many times in the past had he only made him feel a burden?

Maybe after leaving today, he already thought that he would never bother him again.

Anyway, he is very smart. He also knows that he is very smart.

The girl's heart slowly clenched into a ball. She put down her pen, squatted on the chair, and wrapped her hands around her knees.

Pei Ye probably wouldn't be like this. Before today, they were quite happy chatting - what if he still likes her a little bit?

A kind of panic surged up, and Li Mingqing suddenly found that he had no way to determine the answer to this question.

She needed to test, but what the test brought back was just a new round of speculation.

She suddenly felt very irritated and aggrieved - why couldn't she just tell him directly?

Just ask him directly. Haven't they always communicated openly like this? When do you need to guess?

But she quickly thought to herself, Li Mingqing, do you really not know the answer? Everything that happened today...isn't it obvious enough? Is it really necessary to ask and pester and disturb him again? Are your so-called doubts just an excuse for not being willing to give in?

It was at this moment that Li Mingqing realized that he had become cold all over.

She suddenly realized that she and Pei Ye could never go back to the way they were before.

Those unscrupulous jokes, those frank trusts that talked about everything. When she couldn't help but speculate about a meeting, she had lost it forever.

Of course she could pretend that nothing happened and that she didn't care about anything, but that wouldn't fool Pei Ye or herself.

The estrangement was forever planted between the two people. When they met, they would no longer squint at each other, or have a stiff and distant smile, or pretend to be warm and carefree.

There are no "good friends" anymore, and Pei Ye will never take the initiative to confide in her about all his worries and worries.

In an instant, the barrier that had been covering her heart since she got off the boat was cruelly torn open. Only then did the bloody sharp pain hit her senses. Her brain had no time to think and comfort, and the girl's heart had already shrunk into a ball. .

She felt like an ignorant child who lit a fire just for pleasure. It was only then that she discovered the consequences that people were afraid to touch. A huge panic rose in her heart, and the girl tightened her grip fiercely. He picked up something on the table and murmured in a tearful tone: "No, no, no."

　Damn it, I didn’t have time to modify it, it was stuck in the post, maybe there is something verbose and obtrusive, so let’s just read it first.
