Distressed Concubine

Chapter 42 Strangers 1
"Put on your clothes and follow me." After speaking, she turned around and stopped looking at her.

Nalan Ruixue glanced outside the door, then around her, and began to put on her clothes.

Quickly, get dressed.

"All right."

As soon as the words fell, Ye Yun turned around, put his arms around her waist, pushed open the pane on the other side, and jumped out.

Nalan Ruixue kept silent and let him turn her to a place where a reddish brown steed was parked. Ye Yun hugged her to his chest and quickly led her away from the general's mansion.

Bei Gongcheng was talking to Ying Ying, when he suddenly turned his head and looked into the distance, before he could finish speaking, he jumped out of the banyan forest.

Shadow was a little surprised, and looked up, but didn't find any abnormalities.

Bei Gongcheng's figure was like a phantom, and he was able to glide with the help of his toes slightly bumping the tip of the grass. With a few jumps, he had already swept a hundred meters away.

Swift as the wind, swift as the stream, much faster than the galloping horse.

This is hardly a speed that humans can reach, Ye Yun and Nalan Ruixue both faintly felt that something seemed to be rushing towards them at high speed.

Looking back, both were surprised.

The corner of Ye Yun's lips curled into a sneer, and with a flick of the whip, the horse galloped forward at an even faster speed.

"Wait." Nalan Ruixue said.

Ye Yun's hands paused slightly, his amber eyes were instantly hollow, and then quickly focused, "Take control." He pulled the horse back.

Almost at the same moment, a white shadow flashed in front of the horse and landed steadily.

The four eyes met, and time seemed to stop, only the sound of the horse's restless hooves "da da" could be heard.

After staring for a moment, Bei Gongcheng raised his eyes and glanced at Ye Yun, and said to Nalan Ruixue lightly, "Come back early."

After saying that, he turned to leave.

Nalan Ruixue's heart trembled, she opened her mouth, but finally said nothing.

Ye Yun glanced at him with a profound expression, and the hand clasped around Nalan Ruixue's waist was slightly tight. The moment he turned his body, he said in a low voice: "Is she so confident that she will go back?"

Bei Gongcheng glanced sideways at Ye Yun, smiled lightly and said, "If you don't have confidence, why bother to provoke her."

Ye Yunmofeng raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at this arrogant man in surprise.

Bei Gongcheng also looked back, his deep eyes made Ye Yun unable to understand what he was thinking.

After a long time, I saw a dimple on the corner of his lips, and he slapped the horse's ass. "Let's go."

The horse walked forward, and he also left with his hands behind his back.

Ye Yun looked at his almost ghostly speed, half-closed his maroon eyes, and glanced back at her who had been silent all this time.

He said lightly, "No wonder."

The voice could not tell whether it was a sneer or self-deprecating.

Nalan Ruixue only felt that her heart was being pinched, and then she said slowly, "It's not what you think."

"What's that like?" He really sneered this time.

The cold and indifferent voice made her heart ache. She remained silent, but made him, who was waiting faintly, show even greater disappointment on his face.

The horse slowly supported them and walked towards Bingyu Lake. The two of them have been to this place countless times, and even the horses are familiar.

Sitting by the lake, Nalan Ruixue put her arms around her knees, staring at the rippling lake in a daze.

And Ye Yun was standing by the lake with a handful of pebbles in his hand, idly bobbing in the water.

After bouncing a few times on the surface of the lake, the pebbles rolled into the center of the lake, causing circles of ripples in the center of the lake.

She glanced sideways at the man beside her, and whispered, "Yun, I'm sorry."

Ye Yun paused slightly, threw another stone out, and said with a faint smile, "What can you do to me? I'm just a shadow."

Ye Yun's words made her heart twitch, feeling suffocated and sad. "I never regarded you as a shadow."

"Then what do you think of me?" Ye Yun continued to smile lightly, heartlessly, making her sad.

"I have liked you for five years, loved you for five years, and waited for you for five years. I thought your hug the day before yesterday was your acceptance of me. Now that I think about it, it turns out that I have always been self-indulgent."

"After learning that you were in danger the day before yesterday, I arrived without stopping, but I was still one step late. When I returned to the General's Mansion at night, you were laughing and laughing in the yard, and I could only stand silently outside the wall."

"I have been with you for a day, and you have never discovered my existence." Ye Yun paused, threw another stone to the center of the lake, and continued with a faint smile: "I think my shadow is quite qualified. Yes, even the master can be ignored."

"Oh, that's right. With such an outstanding man by your side, why should you think of me. You don't want us to meet, and I have always followed your wishes."

"But you have been together, and I can only wait, wait, wait stupidly, I don't know what year and month I should wait, I don't dare to think about whether I have to wait until the end of time, the only thing I can do is wait until he leaves. come to you."

"But even so, you know that he has a problem going out late at night, just now, you still hope to hear his explanation and answer."

"You said you wanted to see the stars, so I became a star. When the moon comes out, I no longer exist. I am not a shadow, what am I?"

At the end, he smiled brightly, and another stone fell into the lake. "After practicing all night, I can finally hit seven water floats, isn't it amazing?"

The smile is so sunny, the chestnut eyes are full of joy.

Nalan Ruixue got up and walked towards him step by step. Seeing that he was about to throw herself again, she grabbed his arm, wrapped it around his waist, and buried herself in his chest, crying: "Stop talking, and stop laughing. Really stop laughing."

Ye Yun paused, clenched the stone in his hand, unable to let go, and let the stone roll down.

He didn't hug her, his lips trembled, and he tried his best to squeeze out the last trace of a smile.

"Nalan Ruixue, don't make me laugh, do you want me to cry?"

"Even if I cry, will you care?" Ye Yun smiled lightly, his smile was light and breezy, his eyes were so empty, just like his name, a floating cloud.

It was as if something was breaking apart, and the heartache was unbearable.

Nalan Ruixue hugged him tightly, but she couldn't feel any warmth from him.

Ye Yun raised his hand, but when touching her hair, he slowly lowered it inch by inch.

There are only boundless holes in the chestnut pupils, and the faint breath seems to be absent.

"Five years...can't be worth five days. Did I come too early? Or did I go too late..."

His crackling voice reached her ears.

She could only hug him and cry over and over again: "Yun, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."

"I'm sorry? Oh, yes, the only thing left is sorry. Nalan Ruixue, you have never had a place for me in your heart, and now there is not even a single point left..."

Ye Yun raised his head, looked at the boundless sky, and smiled bitterly, the corners of his eyes gradually clouded, but no tears rolled down.

Cry too much, tears are worthless, no one cares, who will cry for...

Opening her shoulders inch by inch, she backed away slowly, pulled out of her world, and turned around sadly.

Nalan Ruixue felt as if a piece of her heart had been hollowed out, as if she had lost something most important.

"Ye Yun." She broke down in tears.

He paused, turned his back to her and said slowly. "From now on, I will not come to you on my own initiative. If you need my help, the old rules call me. From now on, I am just your shadow. You can't see it, and you don't have to see it... Shadow... Forgive my wishful thinking, broke into your world and disturbed your heart."

After finishing speaking, he continued to walk forward.

Mo Jiu, she only heard his faint choking in the wind.

"Ye Yun's name is for you. I don't have a home, and I don't want to have a home. The sky is big, and the earth is big. I just want one of you, but unfortunately I lost you too. A floating cloud is not weak, three thousand clouds, Mingxi Bright tears, condensed water and silly words. Desolate and indifferent, looking back with a broken heart and cold heart, the wind chants the snow, year after year dreams of thousands of dreams..."

Nalan Ruixue knelt down by the lake, weeping bitterly.

She knew that at this moment, Ye Yun would completely fade out of her life.They are so similar that once a decision is made, no one can change it.

The sky is big and the earth is big, I only want one you, but unfortunately I lost even you.

These words cut her heart like a knife, he loved so humblely, so humble that she felt that she was a sinner, so cruel that she couldn't be more cruel.

How desperate do you have to be to tell her to leave?

They have known each other for five years, have known each other for five years, and stayed together for five years. He has never wavered even half a step, and has always stayed together silently, responding to every request.

He was so caring to make her comfortable, she never worried about anything in front of him, he held her back from drinking, healed her injuries, trained with her, and acted madly with her.

Ye Yun said that he was waiting, yes, he had been waiting, and she was also waiting, waiting for the day when he would be honest.

Just because of her lack of bravery, just because of the faint barrier in her heart, they pushed them to this point, and when they woke up, they realized that some things were not that important.

No one is here, nothing is left...

Don't you love it?Really don't care at all?Maybe there was just one missing opportunity between them, one wrong step, one wrong step.

Some feelings are so deep in the marrow that they only ache in the wrist bones.

She realized it too shallowly, understood it too late, and regretted it too late...

I don't know how long I sat there, but I just felt that my body was cold to the bone, and the humid water vapor by the lake made her tremble a little. There were footsteps in her ears, and she didn't want to raise her head. She knew who it was.

The remorse in her heart seemed to find an outlet, and she clenched her fists angrily.

If it weren't for him, her life wouldn't have been messed up.

If it wasn't for him, Ye Yun wouldn't be forced to leave.

If it wasn't for him, she would not have lost this most important man in her life.

Feeling a piece of clothing on her shoulders, she waved it away, looked up with tears and shouted: "Bei Gongcheng! Can you get away? I don't want to see you at all, you get out—"

The words froze, looking at Ye Yun who was half squatting in front of her, she was dumb, her red lips trembled halfway, and she lost her voice.

"I'll take you back." Ye Yun looked at her expressionlessly, with a dejected expression that even he himself didn't understand.

Nalan Ruixue's heart warmed up, he probably couldn't bear her after all.

She buried her head in his arms, sobbing.It seemed that he had returned to those painful nights five years ago, and he was quietly by his side, waiting quietly.

She was just a little girl then, and he was just a little boy who didn't want to talk.

She was forced to have nowhere to go by the gossip, and he kept silent and stayed together.

Ye Yun sighed slightly, and helped her up: "Let's go, go back first."

"No..." She struggled back, and once she got back, she would face Bei Gongcheng again. She didn't want to see him, not at all.

She didn't want Ye Yun to leave her again, she couldn't afford it, nor could she hurt her.

Ye Yun was too important to her, if she had to choose one of them, she would still be obliged to stand by Ye Yun's side.
