devil may cry

Chapter 64. The third person

"Mu Yu, when will you grow up?"

Shen Muyu backed up again and again, knocked on a stone under his feet, staggered and fell to the ground in a daze.

Bei Mingyan moved slightly, Xue Luoqian held his shoulders and leaned against his arms, raised his index finger: "Shh."

He got very close, spraying on the top of his hair between his breaths, Bei Mingyan felt his whole body burning, but he heard Shen Muqing's voice in his ears: "Since you two are here, can you show up and see you next time?"

Bei Mingyan felt that his face was getting hotter and hotter, and now that Xue Luoqian was holding him in this position, he was worried about being seen by Shen Muqing, which was really embarrassing.

He reached out and pushed Xue Luoqian, but was hugged even tighter instead.

Just when Bei Mingyan thought that the struggle was fruitless and was accepting his fate, he was suddenly let go.

"Afraid of being misunderstood by him?"

They looked at each other, Leader Xue had a serious expression on his face, no matter how many times Bei Mingyan saw his expression, he would always think of children for no reason, and he couldn't hold back his smile: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Seeing him smiling, Xue Luoqian also calmed down, and touched the blue area of ​​his lower eyelid with his fingertips: "Isn't it?"

"of course not."

Before she could say anything, Shen Muqing had already left her younger brother and walked over: "Have you two had lunch yet?"

Bei Mingyan guessed that he asked because he hadn't eaten before, and this answer was crucial.

For example, if you answer "I haven't eaten", then I'm afraid it will be a kind invitation.

But he doesn't want to now.

So: "Eat it."

Because it was a lie, it was unavoidable that he felt guilty, and there happened to be a voice that overlapped his own, and it was Xue Luoqian, with a cold, even vaguely hostile expression on his face.

Shen Muqing didn't seem to expect that the two of them had such a tacit understanding, and she didn't know if she saw through it, anyway, she didn't tell the truth, she just said: "That's a coincidence."

Seeing that Bei Mingyan had been looking at Shen Muyu since just now, he said, "This is my second younger brother, named Mu Yu. This child has been self-willed since he was a child, so don't be surprised."

Xue Luoqian said: "Since childhood?"

It was obvious that Shen Muqing was being perfunctory, he only entered the God's Tomb in his 20s and returned to Shen's house, so he was young.

One has a cold expression, the other is as calm as water. They are originally aloof from the world, but every time they are together, they feel a little unhappy.

Shen Muqing said: "Naturally, President Xue should know how I feel best."

"He doesn't understand. He grew up with his brother and sister, and they have a very good relationship."

Bei Mingyan blurted out and finished speaking in one breath. After two seconds of calm, he walked around the two of them to Shen Muyu: "Mr. Shen...?"

There seemed to be two eyes piercing from behind, and Beiming Yan Rumang was on his back, so embarrassed.

The identity of Xue Luoqian's illegitimate child is not a secret not only in Xue's family, Lingnan, but even in the whole Jianghu. Although more people like to talk about his life experience from a bad start and his glorious body now, there are many people who take it as his own. This matter criticized and hurt him.

He was, just now when Shen Muqing mentioned it intentionally, he felt unhappy.

Even Xue Luoqian's question of "since a child" did not necessarily avoid the matter of Shen Muqing's illegitimate child.

He even thought in his heart, it's not Shen Muqing who speaks the official language by himself, obviously didn't grow up together, and still insists on saying something about being a good brother, Luo Qian is just asking serious questions...

He didn't even realize that he was defending Xue Luoqian so much in his heart.

Shen Muyu looked depressed, looked at him with dark eyes, accepted his offer to help her, stood still and nodded slightly, then looked over there.

Shen Muqing turned her back to him and didn't look back.

He looked at it for a while, the expression on his face couldn't be more sad, turned and left.

"Ayan, we should go back."

It's embarrassing when my stomach growls after a while.

"okay."

He accentuated the word "we", Shen Muqing narrowed his eyes slightly, and before Bei Mingyan saw it, he quickly recovered his elegant appearance.

When the two parties bid farewell, Shen Muqing said suddenly: "Mr. Beiming, the temple fair in Zhongzhou will be in a few days. I wonder if you would like to go with me?"

Xue Luoqian clenched his hands under his sleeves tightly.

Although her eyes looked at Shen Muqing indifferently, she could perceive everything on Bei Mingyan.

Bei Mingyan shook his head and said, "Thank you Mr. Shen for the invitation, but I have already agreed to others."

"Oh? May I know who it is?"

"This..." Bei Mingyan wanted to say no, but when the words came to his mouth, he felt that this was really impolite, people just asked, it was true that he did not exceed the rules, and it was not the inconvenience of the girl's family.

The problem was with the "other person", not a girl...

He quietly turned his eyes to look at Xue Luoqian, the leader of the alliance looked at him completely indifferently, with the usual indifference, indifference or indifference.

This is Xue Luoqian, the person in his memory has this expression since he was a child.

"I."

Shen Muqing was not surprised, and said with a smile: "It seems that she came down late."

"You won't be ahead of me."

The remaining two were startled.

Xue Luoqian was cold by nature. Although he was superior in all aspects, he was not such an arrogant person. This sentence really surprised people.

After a short period of surprise, Shen Muqing's face quickly changed into discomfort, and she smiled gracefully: "Then please wait and see, leader."

These words were obvious enough, but Xue Luoqian seemed to have withdrawn his hostility all of a sudden, and he didn't intend to be quick with his tongue, and said, "Farewell."

After finishing speaking, he was not in a hurry to leave, looked at Bei Mingyan and said goodbye, letting him go ahead of him.

The remaining young men in black stood in the cold wind, watching them drift away and disappear.

"We..." Shen Muqing murmured.

Suddenly, another expression changed on his face, the corners of his mouth smirked, his eyes narrowed, matching his gentle face, it was indescribably weird and seductive: "...we...us?"

It was only after entering the yard that Xue Luoqian spoke to him: "Go in quickly, it's too cold outside."

"Ah."

After entering the house, set up the stove, and waited for the Huo family maid to bring food.

The outer robe was placed on the shelf, and Bei Mingyan asked casually, "Luo Qian...doesn't you like Mr. Shen?"

"What about you?"

"I don't like it, but I don't hate it either."

"I'm just like you."

"Oh," Bei Mingyan felt relieved, and his mind shifted to other places: "I was a little concerned about the few words their brothers quarreled with just now."

According to his random guess, it was Shen Muqing who was obsessed with martial arts and was estranged from her younger siblings, but no matter how estranged she was, she wouldn't be able to see Shen Mujing's last face before her burial.

Could it be that, as Shen Muqing said, the family sent him here and he was not allowed to go back halfway?

Unexpectedly, Xue Luoqian said: "This makes sense. Didn't Shen Muyu say that he was not like this before? At least he lived in the God's Tomb Building. If his temperament changes for no reason, the people around him will not know."

"How can people change their temperament for no reason?"

Xue Luoqian said: "A few days before the Fushi meeting, one night I went to a secret meeting with my grandfather to discuss the matter of Beishan and Jade Blood Sect. I passed by the other courtyard of the Shenmulou and heard Shen Muqing and Shen Muyu arguing."

"Another dispute?"

"That's right. Their dispute caught my grandfather's attention, and my grandfather stopped halfway to persuade him, and heard that they were arguing about Shen Mujing."

Bei Mingyan looked out the window, shivering from the cold, and shrank back: "Speak."

"Shen Muyu hopes that Shen Muqing will politely reject Shen Mujing."

"It's really messy..." He closed the window and was blown out of his wits.

"...Wait! This means that Miss Shen treats her brother...?"

Xue Luoqian nodded: "He told Shen Muyu, yes, and promised to talk to Shen Mujing."

Bei Mingyan was thoughtful: "Shen Mu... Mr. Shen has always behaved decently in front of people."

Xue Luoqian sat in the room, pursing his thin lips.

"Ayan."

"Ok?"

"Thank you for protecting me just now."

"No, no thanks..."

Xue Luoqian smiled and said, "Actually, what he said is not bad. I do understand how he feels."

Bei Mingyan was not happy for a while, and then said in a daze: "How do you feel...?"

"...I, I was brought back to Xue's house by my father when I was four years old. In the first year of my arrival, I couldn't even sleep well at night. I was very scared."

"Suddenly, there is a group of relatives around me, called grandfather, and elder brother... Because I didn't grow up together, I always feel that they are the family, and I am redundant."

Bei Mingyan was stunned, and slowly walked over to sit opposite him: "I don't know... Luo Qian, I thought... Luo Bei and Tian Lai were not alienated from you, I thought..."

"That was a thing of the past, and then we became a real family."

"Um……"

That's fine, whatever it was in the past, it's fine now.

"Thank you, Ayan."

Bei Mingyan bit his lips: "You don't have to tell me this," his eyes were bright, and he knew in his heart how Xue Luoqian treated him.

Xue Luoqian smiled: "No distinction between each other?"

"Ah..." Bei Mingyan dodged that scorching gaze.

"Aren't you afraid that Shen Muqing might misunderstand you just now?"

"no!"

Bei Mingyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he thought to himself, it's enough to cut off the sleeve once, so I don't like you, so I have to like other men?

"Really?"

"real."

Someone knocked on the door, Bei Mingyan touched his stomach, it barked twice in time, and urged: "Go and open the door, I'm hungry."

"it is good."

There was quite a crowd of visitors, besides the person who brought them meals, there were also Xue Yaoshan and Beiming Pianyi.

Xue Yaoshan looked very anxious, and the other stood gracefully.

"grandfather."

"Where's Little Yangchen?"

"Yes, what's the matter?"

Xue Yaoshan looked around furtively, and approached his grandson: "Xunyou from Wuye Temple..."

"...It's okay! Hahaha!!"

Xue Luoqian: "..."

"Hey, don't push me, listen to me! Listen to me! Today's contest between you and Xunyou is to replace the original Xiao Luo Bei, so he's fine."

"Tomorrow your real opponent, Mr. Lushan from the Wang family of Fushan, died in the other courtyard of the Liancheng Division!"

Xue Luoqian pondered for a moment: "Understood."

"What are you prepared for?"

"Have."

All ears.

"have lunch."

"..."

After the wind was turbulent for a while, Beiming Pianyi walked away behind him and said, "I'm going to eat too."

"Eat, eat, eat! You know how to eat!"

"I still drink tea."

"I told you to go down Beishan to eat and drink tea?!"

"But I just eat and drink tea on the mountain."

As the people walked away, Xue Luoqian closed the door, his eyes darkening.
