Moonlight Allure

Chapter 22 Use my whole life's sincerity for you to look back

After Xiao Moli left, Luo Qingyan looked back, seeing Xiao Ziqiu still standing aside, immediately remembered his inexplicable marriage proposal just now.Involuntarily, she felt a little depressed and helpless.

"Ziqiu..."

"Qing Yan" Xiao Ziqiu went and suddenly took a step forward, holding her hand.Her bright, jewel-like eyes tightly locked onto her face, and she said in a soft voice, "Qingyan, you don't have to answer me so quickly. I know, this may come suddenly to you." He smiled slightly: " It's okay, I can wait until you promise me"

Luo Qingyan looked at him blankly, seeing the tenderness and persistence in her dark jewel-like eyes, as well as the faint sadness hidden under the skin of hope, very much like her in the past.It made her heart tighten inexplicably.If it wasn't for Su Haoran's preconceived ideas, perhaps, she would have fallen in love with Xiao Ziqiu.After all, he is such a gentle man like water.

"Ziqiu" she raised her head, looked at him, and asked softly, "What do you like about me?" She really didn't understand that a person like her who was born with a handicap had to rely on a wheelchair even to walk, and was ruined. A woman whom everyone dislikes.Why does Xiao Ziqiu like her?
Hearing this, Xiao Ziqiu smiled slightly: "I don't know, it's not why I like you. It's even... falling in love with you"

Luo Qingyan's body froze, but Xiao Ziqiu had already sat on the head of the bed, staring at her tenderly: "Qingyan, I don't want to worry about why I fell in love with you. I only know that you..." He held her hand tightly: "She is the only woman I want to marry in my life" he said firmly and seriously.

Luo Qingyan's phoenix eyes moved slightly, as if there was a hint of darkness.Withdrawing his hand lightly, ignoring the deep sense of loss in Xiao Ziqiu's eyes.Some desolately said: "Ziqiu, if... I met you earlier, it would be great..."

Xiao Ziqiu's eyes trembled, and there was a flickering light in his eyes: "Qingyan..."

Luo Qingyan raised her eyes, the wind from outside the window blew in, blowing up her soft and bright black hair, dancing in the air.It also blew away the sadness and sigh that seemed to be absent in her phoenix eyes.There was only one Wang Pinghu like water: "Ziqiu..." She took a deep breath, and then said, "I'm sorry..."

Xiao Ziqiu's face turned pale, and he lowered his eyes, not looking at his hurt expression.If she can't give him what he wants, she can't give him hope.Because she understands too well how heartbroken it would be to give someone hope and then let him down.She didn't want him to be as desperate as she was back then, the kind of pain that seemed to be hollowed out.She didn't want such a detached man like him to endure such tearing pain.Even if she rejects him now, he may be sad and lost.But time will kill everything, she believes that one day, he will meet the person he is destined for, then he will cheer up soon.After all, they had known each other not long ago, so his feelings for her should not be deep yet.

She was thinking like this, but she ignored that when she was obsessed with another man, it was only because of a word, a promise, and a look.

In fact, love has nothing to do with other things, status, background and appearance, or the length of time.Just, at a certain moment, in a certain place, met a certain person.My heart is just moving.It's just that simple.In fact, what she understood was that she ignored or subconsciously avoided this question.Therefore, Xiao Ziqiu will be infatuated with her all his life, and will be saddened by her all his life.

Silence, deathly silence.Neither of them spoke until a long, long time later.Xiao Ziqiu gave a wry smile

"Qingyan, are you rejecting me?"

Luo Qingyan didn't speak, she didn't know what to say,

"Can I know why?" He was still hopeful
Luo Qingyan finally raised her eyes, looked at him at the same level, and then said with a sigh: "Ziqiu, I admit that I don't reject you, I like the feeling of being with you, I feel very relaxed and at ease. There is no calculation, no defense ..." She paused, and then said, "The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water! This is how I feel towards you."

"Friendship between gentlemen is as light as water?" Xiao Ziqiu murmured these words "Friendship between gentlemen is as light as water..." He smiled bitterly: "But Qingyan" He looked at her: "I don't want to just be your friend" He thought Ask her to be her wife, forever.

The phoenix eyes flickered slightly, and a trace of helplessness flashed across the bottom of the eyes: "Ziqiu, the most unforceable thing in the world is feelings."

"I didn't force it." Xiao Ziqiu looked at her, his eyes were amazingly bright: "Qingyan, you can reject me. But, you can't deny my feelings for you." His black eyes were full of firmness and determination: "I don't I will give up, I will wait, wait for you, until the day you accept me. Even if this deadline is my whole life"

The phoenix eyes were shocked for a moment.

But Xiao Ziqiu smiled softly, "Qingyan, I swear on my life, as long as I have breath, I will never let you suffer the slightest harm." Although his voice was soft, his tone was extremely firm.The heart that made her calm and waveless also had slight ripples.Although it was only for a moment, it is undeniable that she was indeed moved at this moment.

Until many years later, she was also in such a season, such a morning, she was sitting on the bed.Thinking of what he said in front of her, she couldn't help but smile slightly.A little bit bitter, a little sad, and even more, an indescribable apology...

The sky was hollow, and the sun slanted in through the window, adding a touch of warmth to the simple and quiet room.She sat lazily on the bed, in a daze.Xiao Ziqiu had been gone for a long time, but she couldn't calm down.She remembered when Xiao Ziqiu left.The face that smiled like a spring breeze could not hide the pain in the black eyes.She remembered that when he turned around, there was such an indelible sadness and loneliness in his spotless back?

She felt inexplicably heartbroken, both for him and for herself.From Xiao Ziqiu's body, she saw her former self.From her own body, she saw the former Su Haoran.She felt so heartless and cruel.She could almost imagine the pain in his heart when he walked out as if nothing had happened.Just like when she turned around in front of Su Haoran happily hugging that beautiful woman as if nothing had happened.So resolute, so relentless, and so... heartbroken...

**
It has been seven days since the injury that day.Her injury is almost healed.These few days, Xiao Ziqiu came to see her almost every day.Still so gentle and refined, still so smiling like a spring breeze, still so detached and refined.But those bright and quiet eyes had a layer of indelible sadness.Such an indifferent and casual back, but there is a lot of loneliness that can't be eliminated.

Every time she saw Xiao Ziqiu like this, she always felt uncomfortable and felt that she owed him.So she always turned him away on the grounds that he was injured and needed to rest.Huansha and Biying are dissatisfied with her actions every time, but there is nothing they can do.It's just that sometimes, intentionally or unintentionally, she whispers in her ear how sad and lost Xiao Ziqiu was after being rejected by her, but she ignores it.

Until yesterday, he went down the mountain.Because the palace was stolen, Tianshan snow lotus was stolen.Xiao Mingjing was furious, and immediately ordered to kill the guard who was on duty that night.The whole city is under martial law, and the thief who stole Tianshan snow lotus must be caught. Xiao Ziqiu was also ordered to return to the palace.But Xiao Moli, still the same, turned a blind eye to Xiao Mingjing's imperial decree, and still stayed in Baohua Temple.Occasionally play chess and taste tea with the eminent monks in the temple, and occasionally stand on the back mountain, admiring the scene of red leaves fluttering...Of course, occasionally I will come to 'visit' Luo Qingyan from time to time.Most of the time, though, it's relatively silent.

Only she knows why Xiao Moli is so calm.It's because all of this is within his grasp.She was sure that the stolen Tianshan snow lotus was no longer the original one.Either it is fake, or it is mixed with other things.It's none of her business, though.

After resting for a few days, under her eloquent persuasion, her mother finally went down the mountain and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.Before she was injured, she had already sent someone back to tell Luo Yunzhi.Although Luo Yunzhi was worried, he didn't have time to see her.Fortunately, she was relieved to hear that she was fine.

Now, she is sitting in the gazebo where she was on the first day.Quietly watching the blue waves and clear pool, quietly watching the branches swaying with the wind, quietly watching the falling leaves fall on the lake, dizzying the circles of ripples...

In the distance, a fiery red figure ran over.

"Yanyan..." came a crying female voice, Luo Qingyan looked back and saw the woman in red standing at the entrance of the pavilion.Her hair is like ink, her eyes are like water, her eyebrows are like willow, and her lips are like cherries.The figure is slim, weak and pathetic.Standing in the wind, she looked like a withered leaf, like a gust of wind was about to blow her to pieces.

She stood so far away, with the majestic wind blowing, her black hair like ink fluttered with the wind.Covered the part of the eyes, leaving only those red eyes from crying.Also, the two tear stains hanging under the eyelids...

"Nana? Why are you here?"

Senas suddenly ran towards her, threw her head into her arms, squatted at her feet, and began to cry

"Woooooooooo...Yanyan, why doesn't she like me? Why? Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." she cried very sadly and desperately.

Luo Qingyan was slightly stunned, and winked at Huansha and Biying who were standing beside her, they understood, and then left.

"What's wrong?" She gently patted Senas's back with her hand, and asked gently.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." Senas raised her head and her tearful face appeared in front of Luo Qingyan.So fragile, so helpless, it made her heart ache a little.Xiao Moli had already told her that the person who assassinated her that day was indeed the Turkic envoy and the eldest prince of the Turkic Khan—Samoyed.But Senas didn't know it beforehand, and even begged Samoyed not to kill her.So she didn't have any dislike or hatred towards Senas at all, instead she treated her like her own sister.At this time, seeing her crying so sadly, she couldn't bear it.

Carefully wiped the teardrops off her face: "Come on, sit down" she helped her up, let her sit on the stone bench beside her, and waited until Senas had cried enough and wiped away her tears.She asked, "What's the matter? Why are you crying?"

Upon hearing this, Senas's tears that had just stopped fell again, "He...he said" she sobbed: "He said he would never like me" she said as if she was about to cry again

"Him? Xiao Moli?"

"En" Senas wiped her tears and nodded vigorously.Looking at Luo Qingyan, she sobbed and asked, "Yanyan, am I annoying? Otherwise, why doesn't he like me?"

Luo Qingyan smiled slightly: "It's not that you are annoying, but that emotional matters are often involuntary." She sighed a little, and said in a sentimental way.

"Huh?" Senas didn't understand: "What do you mean?" She was still sobbing
"Let me tell you a story." Luo Qingyan looked at her and began to tell a long and true story
