Chapter 40

Wei Lingran came out from the inner room, the corners of his eyes flicked slightly, and he flew over the steaming porcelain bowl on the table, it turned out that what he was stirring just now were noodles.

Longevity noodles?
Does he know that today is hers?Surprise flashed in her heart, she slightly raised her eyes to look, just bumped into his pair of black pupils with a slight smile.

"Happy Birthday!"

Wei Ling was startled, with a dull expression on his face, his body still maintained a ridiculous half-squatting posture, like a petrified statue, fixedly staring at the young man, for a long while, he muttered: "You, how do you know?"

"How do I know your birthday...huh?" The young man raised his eyebrows, but didn't answer, "Sit down quickly, this posture... aren't you tired?" He sat by the table, looked at her sideways with his head propped , tapped the edge of the bowl with chopsticks, the crisp sound was not loud, but it reminded Wei Lingran of his embarrassment, "Also, the noodles should be eaten while they are hot, and they will not taste good when they are cold and mushy."

"Uh..." The girl took the chopsticks he handed over in a daze, quickly sat down with her head down, picked up the noodles and put them in her mouth..., but the words "Happy Birthday" kept echoing in her ears, and her long eyelashes drooped densely. Blinking, there is a glint of water flashing in the eyes.

At this moment, I don’t want to think about how he knew her birthday, I just want to quietly enjoy the beauty of this surprise blessing. She ate the noodles with tears in her eyes. The one, and the only one who wished her birthday, she decided that no matter what his purpose is, at this moment, she will always remember that he once blessed her with a sincere smile and cooked noodles for her.

"Slow down, don't choke." The young man looked at her with a smile, and he was also holding the longevity noodles in mouthfuls, his movements were graceful and artistic.

Wei Lingran put the last bite of noodles into his mouth, lit the bottom of the bowl at him, and said with a silly smile: "I'm done eating, the noodles are very good, thank you." He licked the noodle juice on his lips, his eyes quietly Turning around, she put down the bowl and chopsticks, suddenly stretched out her right hand to the boy opposite, and said with a formal smile, "Hello, my name is Wei Lingran."

There was a little surprise in the boy's eyes, what did she mean by reaching out to him?Want a gift?From the corner of her eyes, she glanced at the ice blue looming in the sleeves of her wrist, and smiled lightly, "Hello, I'm Ji Yuanhe, Xia Rao Country... Renshi," but he took a piece of color into his bosom. The transparent and warm jade pendant was placed in her palm, "This jade pendant should be regarded as a meeting gift."

Wei Lingran glanced at the jade pendant in his palm and was stunned for a long while before realizing that someone had misunderstood him. He hurriedly pushed the jade pendant back, and said with a stiff smile, "Ah? This thing is too expensive, I can't take it, besides... I'm not Asking you for something, I am..."

"No matter what you mean, since my things are sent out, there is no reason to take them back." He chuckled, put the jade pendant back into her hand, wrapped his palms around hers, and held it gently. She clasped her hands, raised her eyebrows, a faint light was shining, and her fingertips had already touched the ice-blue emerald bracelet on her wrist, "I think the bracelet on your wrist is not bad, why don't you give it to me as a gift?" ?”

Wei Lingran quickly withdrew her hand and hid her arm behind her back. She likes the bracelet very much and has no plans to give it away for now. Besides... this is the only thing Nangong Yi gave her, although she and Nangong Yi has no feelings, but she still cherishes this bracelet very much.

"I'm sorry, bracelet, I can't give it to you," she lowered her eyebrows, her small face was slightly sad, "this wrist bracelet is a thought left by my mother, so..." She looked up at him, her eyes There was a lot of apology.

But he thought in his heart, Nangong Yiquan knew that if she let him be her mother, he would smile happily...

"That's it! You can keep that bracelet for yourself, and you can change it to something else." The young man shrugged with a smile, turned sideways, and when he looked at Wei Lingran again, he held a pair of sharp scissors in his hand and pointed at her. Hand it over.

Wei Lingran leaned back, and asked him, "What do you want to do?"

"Why don't you want to do it?" The young man smiled lowly, holding the scissors forward without changing his posture, a cold light flashed in front of his eyes, Wei Lingran subconsciously closed his eyes, and the cool air of the blade touched his cheeks and turned to his ears, when suddenly he heard a "click", she burst out angrily His eyes widened.

The scissors were put away, and Ji Yuanhe held a lock of hair in his hand. He looked at the strand of black hair, smiled playfully, and said lightly, "I just want to take a lock of your hair."

"You..." The girl glanced at his smirking face, and was speechless for a moment.

"You don't need to be too moved. Although the jade pendant is not worth a lot, it is my personal belonging. Having it with you will mean that I will be with you in the future..." When he said this, his expression was serious. Ling Ran stared at him inexplicably for a while before realizing that this man was making fun of her!

In a rage, he immediately threw out the palm jade pendant angrily, "Who cares about you... accompany me, return your things to you, and return your hair to me."

"Farewell..." The young man stuffed the jade pendant back into her palm, took a quick step back, and looked at her with a smile, "Although the jade pendant is not worth much, your black hair is priceless. I should treasure it carefully, maybe..." He gave Wei Lingran a meaningful look, but stopped talking.

"Hmph, maybe what?... Well, you did it on purpose!" Enraged her, and made her lose her composure. Seeing his smiling face, the girl came back to her senses, her face darkened, "Isn't it just a few hairs?" , if you like it, you can leave it, anyway, I have a lot of it on my head, and it will grow a lot in a few days, I have a question to ask you, that day, in the middle of the night, how did you end up in Qianri Lake? ?" She stared closely at his clear eyes, catching his subtle changes, trying to tell the truth from the changes.

"Don't tell me, you were sleepwalking, swimming in the muddy water of the lake to catch fish." The girl raised her brows and squinted at Ji Yuanhe. Looking at the corner of his smiling lips, she knew that he wanted to use these words to perfuse her.

"Ah, how do you know? You are so magical, you are like the roundworm in my stomach. This is exactly what I want to say." Ji Yuanhe cooperated with a serious smile and a serious expression.

Wei Lingran almost fell down, this person is really... so shameless, he actually blocked her with her words, frowned, and scolded, "Who will be the roundworm in your stomach, don't be disgusting, Bara, tell the truth, don't Smile with me."

The young yuppie smiled and looked at her solemnly, "Do you really want to hear the truth?"

Wei Lingran rolled his eyes, "Nonsense"

"If I say, I'm watching the fun, do you believe it?"

"Watch the fun and go to the lake?" Brother, if you want others to believe it, at least you have a plausible excuse, right?
The young man didn't look at her gloomy face, and said calmly: "That night, I saw them surround the county government office, and after that... some people quietly withdrew, I followed them out of curiosity, and found them standing on the shore of Qianri Lake. Buried archers to hunt, and before they closed up, sneaked into the lake... You know the rest of it."

"Really? You don't have any selfishness in helping me? Just to satisfy curiosity?" Wei Lingran's eyes turned cold, and he stepped back quietly, his left hand clenched tightly in his sleeve.

"Of course..." The young man raised his voice, and Wei Lingran's heart was held high by him. Just as he was about to pop out the silver needle on his fingertips to make him tell the truth, he turned his eyes to her hand, and his voice was light and cold. sent, "No."

The girl gritted her teeth, "Don't play tricks there."

"Well, in fact..., those people besieging the county government, apart from avenging their former city lord, the most important thing is to force you out, force you to hand over the seal that symbolizes power in your hand, and want to replace you to rule the embankment city, right?"

Wei Lingran nodded, raised her brows, and kept looking into his eyes, "So what, what does this have to do with you?"
