Self-denial System [Rebirth]

Lifting it up, the tone was gentle, "Did you do something to anger him?"

"No, not at all, I didn't meet him at all... He was cruel and merciless, not only beat me like this, but even... even the heads of the nine families who came to the banquet were beaten all over by him... Blood. No one dares to provoke that devil of his... He beat him up and left."

Hearing this, Gu Jingyin straightened up, turned around, clenched and released his fingers in his sleeves, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Xu Mu walked alone in the quiet and deserted alley, his steps were not fast or slow, as if he was aimless.

The dark blue sky is full of stars, the cool wind blows, and a few dilapidated and faded lanterns are swaying on the treetops at the end of the alley.The distant mountains are looming in the dark night, and the undulating mountains outline continuous curves on the horizon.

Xu Mu walked and stopped.

"Who are you?" Xu Mu turned around.

The street behind him was dark and gloomy, and there was no movement.

"What are you doing with me?" Xu Mu asked softly.

Still no sound.

Xu Mu turned around and said with a smile, "Where are you hiding?"

But when he turned around again, someone had already held his wrist and held it between the two of them, shortening the distance between them.

Xu Mu was a little surprised, but then calmed down again: "Ah, it turned out to be you."

"Why did you come here?" Gu Jingyin looked down into his eyes, unwilling to leave for a moment.

Xu Mu smiled and said, "Come if you want."

Gu Jingyin held his wrist tightly and said in a low voice, "Why didn't you tell me when it came?"

Xu Mu raised his head: "Master Gu, you have a shortcoming, do you know it?"

Gu Jingyin just looked at him without answering.

"Your disciples shouldn't dare to tell you, so let me tell you." Xu Mu slowly pulled out his hand, "You take it for granted, do you think the whole world will submit to you?"

Gu Jingyin frowned, and after a while, said: "Brother, why can't you go back with me."

"I'll go back with you? Then what should I do with my things? Who am I to you? Wherever you go, you will lead me?"

"What's the point of you guarding those things? I can't give you what you want? If you continue to be stubborn, the result will be the same. Why..."

Xu Mu interrupted him softly: "Gu Jingyin, please stop. Let me ask you why you don't want to give up everything you have to come to me, but ask me to give up everything I have to be with you. Don't you think , Was this kind of relationship unequal from the beginning?"

Gu Jingyin's eyes darkened when he looked at him.

"I'm just an item in your eyes, that's why you use the means you get the item to deal with me. You pass the customs all the way, and you get everything you want. Only I missed this one, so You feel ashamed, unwilling, and annoyed, and you must take me back to relieve your anger, right." Xu Mu looked into his eyes and said calmly, "This is not your love, this is your desire to conquer .”

"You think I don't love you?" Gu Jingyin asked softly.

"Ask yourself, do you love?" Xu Mu replied softly.

But neither of them spoke again.

Xu Mu suddenly realized that he had guessed correctly.

But my heart was empty.

But suddenly he let go of his heart.

Since there is no real emotion, it will not be hurt.

Xu Mu lowered his eyes and stopped looking at him, quietly thinking: If he really cared about me, would he press on me like this and not leave a trace of life behind?Will I find someone to discredit me, take my stuff, and leave me with nothing but him?

Certainly not.

As long as there is a point for his own consideration, he will not be so unscrupulous.

The broken lantern at the end of the alley rattled again in the gusts of evening wind, and the leaves on the ground swirled around their feet.

Xu Mu still wanted to wait for him to answer, but he was not ready to answer.

Gu Jingyin held his two hands in front of him, leaned over and kissed him.

Xu Mu wanted to free his hands, but Gu Jingyin held them tighter.

The four pieces are soft and close together, as if each other is the only warmth in the cold night.

Xu Mu wanted to hug him with both hands, really wanted to, never thought about it like this, but his wrists still couldn't break free.

After kissing him, Gu Jingyin let go of his hand and took a step back.

Xu Mu thought that he was going to say something to her, and Xu Mu thought that what he would say to her was just those few words, just "go back with me".

Xu Mu slowly thought in his heart: If he says it again, then go with him.

But Gu Jingyin's step back was to make way for Xu Mu, and he said softly, "Let's go."
