Madame Demon has lost her memory

The sound of the rain became louder, covering up the ambiguous breathing in the house.

It was the first time Xie Yulan was helped by someone, and the other party was Qin Lanzhi. She was in a daze for a while, not knowing what to say or what to do, so she had to be hugged to bed by the other party stiffly, and scrubbed the stain between her legs again.During this period, he kept his eyes closed, his eyelashes trembling so much that he didn't dare to look into the other person's eyes.

After the lights in the house were turned off and the surroundings became quiet again, he opened his eyes furtively, stared at the roof for a long time, and after a while, as if mustering up his courage, he quietly turned his head to look at the man beside him.

Qin Lanzhi was covered with a thin blanket, her arms and legs touched her own, her body temperature was still very high, and the temperature was clearly transmitted through the thin clothes, making Xie Yulan's skin itchy, and her heart flustered.

He was afraid that the other party would hear his rapid heartbeat, so he carefully retracted his legs and hands, but he didn't know whether Qin Lanzhi did it on purpose or not, so he quickly posted it again.

Xie Yulan slept inside, with her back pressed against the wall, there was no way to avoid it, so she had to settle down.

Holding his breath, he looked at the man's sleeping silhouette in the dim moonlight, and he didn't feel sleepy just looking at it like this. After a long time, Qin Lanzhi opened his mouth and said, "Aren't you going to sleep?"

Xie Yulan: "!!!"

Xie Yulan gave an "ah" in a daze, curled up her fingers, and pinched the cuff: "I, I..."

"Anyone will notice if you look at them like this." Qin Lanzhi didn't open his eyes, but curled up the corners of his mouth, his voice softened a lot without the harshness and coldness of the day, "The bed is too small, squeezed Can't sleep?"

"No." Xie Yulan turned her gaze away, but she couldn't bear to part with it. She secretly looked back, and seeing that Qin Lanzhi hadn't opened her eyes, she got a little bolder, "That...do you want me to help you?"

"..." Qin Lanzhi raised his eyebrows, "Are you getting more courageous now?"

Xie Yulan felt that desire was magnified countless times in the dark night, so she took a breath in a low voice: "It's only fair if there is reciprocity..."

"Hey." Qin Lanzhi laughed, hugging his arms around his chest, and lazily said, "No need, go to sleep."

"……Oh."

So the surroundings fell silent again, but the atmosphere seemed to be subtly different.

Xie Yulan didn't know what was the difference, he couldn't say well, but felt as if a spoonful of honey had been filled into his heart, it was sweet, and there was an inexplicable feeling of being pampered.He immediately relaxed a lot, closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep.

The next day, the group continued on their way, and when they reached the next town, Qin Lan went to find his informant, but still did not bring Xie Yulan with him.

This is the case all the way, Xie Yulan is used to it.

Wanhe Palace has its own people everywhere, and some of them even hide their names in the market. At first glance, they are just ordinary salesmen, but behind them is the prestigious Wanhe Palace.

Qin Lanzhi's news network is very well-informed. Although he was misled by Xie Yulan and went around a lot, because there are always people in the "Wulin League" who can't sit still and want to do something, so when the fox's tail is exposed, it is naturally easy to be targeted.

Qin Lanzhi went there for a whole day, and when he came back, there was someone else by his side.

It was a man with a handsome appearance and a sly demeanor, about the same height as Qin Lanzhi, with his hair raised up with a white jade crown, and his smile was like a spring breeze.When he saw Xiaoyue'er, he greeted Xiaoyue'er familiarly, and then went to see Xie Yulan.

"This is..."

"Thank you Yulan." Qin Lanzhi put down his teacup and introduced to the two, "This is my friend, the young master of Baihongmen, Baiyan."

"Young Master Bai, I've heard a great name for a long time." Xie Yulan had heard of this person's name before. Bai Hongmen didn't have much contact with people in the martial arts, and he was always independent, but his relationship with Wanhe Palace and the Martial Arts League was not bad, and he was somewhat neutral. mean.

Bai Yan personally ranks in the top fifteen of the Golden Pavilion, and is also young and promising, and now he meets a real person - handsome, extraordinary bearing, eye-catching, and he has the urge to make friends.

Qin Lanzhi glanced at Xie Yulan, raised his sleeve and poured him a cup of tea: "Sit down and talk."

Xiaoyue'er went back to the room first, while Lao Liu, Lao Qi and others were guarding outside, and the three sat on the first floor, drinking tea and chatting slowly.

Bai Yan was an acquaintance, and talked to Xie Yulan with a smile: "I met you at the Lingshan Heroes Conference before. It happened a few years ago, so I guess you don't remember it."

Xie Yulan really didn't remember much: "Sorry."

"It's okay." Bai Yan waved his hand, "Bai Hongmen has always been too close to other sects, so they don't take the initiative to say hello. It's normal that you don't have an impression."

"At that time you were shorter than now." Bai Yan said heartily, "It's your elder brother and second elder brother who amazed people at the first sight, with that demeanor and posture..."

Bai Yan thought about the matter of Xie's family, but didn't say anything, and sighed: "My condolences."

Xie Yulan nodded: "Thank you."

Someone still remembered his elder brother and second brother, he was very pleased.

Although the matter of Xie's family has passed not long ago, it seems like it happened in the previous life.Along the way, the Xie family tragedy was first mentioned in teahouses and theaters, but soon there were new anecdotes, and gradually no one mentioned it anymore.It seems that in just a moment, the entire world has forgotten the Xie family in the south.

At this time, Xie Yulan suddenly heard others talking about the eldest brother and the second brother, and Xie Yulan had mixed feelings in her heart.

He still remembered that at the Yingxian Conference that year, the main participants were young people from various sects. All sects, big and small, wanted to recommend their favorite disciples, and also took the opportunity to gain a good reputation in the world.

The eldest brother and the second brother also took him there that day, but the eldest brother and the second brother have been famous for a long time, so they are not too interested in it. They mainly take the younger brother to see the world and make some friends.

At the meeting, countless people came for the Xie family's name, some with hypocrisy and some with sincere admiration.The eldest brother was able to deal with it with ease, but the second brother couldn't stay idle, so he took him to play around-seeing the sunrise, watching the sea of ​​clouds, and listening to the bell in the temple.

The second brother also wanted to find something more interesting, but after all, on Lingshan, there was nothing else to do except hunting and horseback riding.

Back then, the second brother squatted on the trunk of a tree with dog's tail grass in his mouth to support the wobbly younger brother, and joked with the elder brother with a smile: "Brother, do you know that the elder brother likes her."

Xie Yulan was only eleven or twelve years old at that time, ignorant, holding on to the trunk and looking through the dense branches and leaves, she saw her eldest brother talking to a girl in white.The girl was about the same age as the elder brother, with a pretty face and a sword on her back. The long red sword tassel dangled with the girl's movements, looking lively and agile.

The eldest brother took out a hairpin from his sleeve and handed it to the girl. The tips of his ears were red, but his expression was very calm.

I don't know what to say, but the girl refused, pushed away the elder brother's hand and ran to the other side.

Xie Yulan saw her elder brother standing where she was, as if a little lost, and put the hairpin back into her sleeve.The second brother laughed unkindly at this moment: "That girl looks quiet, but she has a wild temper. Many families have proposed marriage before, and she kicked them out of the house."

"Wow." Xie Yulan's voice was crisp, "Isn't it all the matchmaker's words, the parents' order?"

The second brother laughed: "The girl doesn't care about this, she wants to find someone she likes."

"How to find it?"

"Then how do I know?" The second brother clicked his tongue twice, "I don't think there's anything going on with the serious and dull temperament of the elder brother."

Before the words were finished, a hidden weapon flew towards him, and the second brother dodged it with a "wow", and saw the hidden weapon nailed to the tree trunk with a murderous look, obviously the person who came was not good.

But the second brother was not angry, just laughed, and shouted to the people under the tree: "You can't even say it?"

Xie Yulan lowered her head, and saw her eldest brother coming over, standing under the tree and looking up dissatisfied: "There are so many people watching, what does it look like squatting on the tree with Yu Lan? Come down!"

The second brother shook his head and said, "If you don't come down, it's because there are too many people and it's annoying."

"Father asked you to meet a girl from the Qin family. I think she's over there. I'll take you there."

"No!" The second brother rolled his eyes, "I don't want to talk to that man!"

"Shut up!" The eldest brother lowered his voice, and now he looked exactly like his father, "It's fine at home, how can you talk nonsense outside?"

The second brother pouted, hugged Xie Yulan, and ran away quickly: "If you have the ability, you catch up with me! If you catch up with me, I'll follow you!"

How happy it was then.

The eldest brother is strict but loves them, the second brother is hot-tempered and protective, the relationship between father and mother is harmonious, and there seems to be no messy fights in the family.Xie Yulan is like a flower in a greenhouse, never knowing why the world changes color.

It seems that the days will go on like this, without end.

"Yu Lan...Yu Lan?"

Xie Yulan came back to her senses, only to realize that Qin Lanzhi was frowning and looking at him with concern in his eyes: "What's wrong with you?"

Bai Yan also blamed himself a little: "I said something I shouldn't have said, sorry."

"It's okay." Xie Yulan shook her head, "Go ahead."

Qin Lanzhi paused, and then said: "After I promised you to investigate the case, I contacted several people, including Bai Yan. Bai Hongmen has always been a neutral sect, and outsiders don't know that Bai Yan has a good relationship with me, so let him inquire about it. The news is the best."

Xie Yulan nodded and looked at Bai Yan sincerely: "Thank you."

"Among friends, why bother to talk about this." Bai Yan took over the words, "I recently got some reliable news, mainly about the Jiang family..."

As Bai Yan spoke, Xie Yulan felt a thud in her ears.

The silhouette that turned away from the sea of ​​flames reappeared in his mind, and he comforted himself countless times, it might just be his misreading.But unexpectedly, everything is slowly returning to the original track.

He couldn't lie to himself any longer.

Seeing that Xie Yulan's complexion was getting worse and worse, Bai Yan stopped, looked at Qin Lanzhi and said, "I heard that your family is still somewhat related to the Jiang family?"

"Yes." Xie Yulan nodded, withdrew her hand from the teacup, hid it in her sleeve, and pinched her palm deeply with her fingertips, "They are distant relatives, and they are also brothers and sisters."

"I see." Bai Yan nodded, "Then this matter..."

"It's okay, tell me." Xie Yulan raised her head with firm eyes, "It's about the Xie family, no matter what the outcome is, I have to know."

The news brought by Bai Yan is very rich, and it is very close to the truth.

Qin Lanzhi changed his previous thinking and began to target several big families.He vaguely felt that Xie Yulan might know something, but he didn't ask further.

In the middle of the night, Bai Yan bid farewell and left, Qin Lanzhi went to see him off, and Xie Yulan stood at the window on the second floor looking down.

Holding the lantern, Qin Lanzhi and Bai Yan walked slowly along the path.

The night wind made the lantern sway, and the flame flickered in and out.He looked at Bai Yan and patted Qin Lanzhi's arm with a smile, and Qin Lanzhi rarely showed a smile. He, who always seemed indifferent in front of others, seemed to have some other emotions when facing Bai Yan.

This made Xie Yulan a little depressed.

Bai Yan looks good, has good skills, has a decent family background and is well-rounded, so he can help Qin Lanzhi.

They seem to have known each other for many years, the relationship is close, there is a natural trust in each other.This relationship made Xie Yulan envious.

During dinner at night, Bai Yan talked about Qin Lanzhi's youthful past in order to liven up the atmosphere.

That was the past that Xie Yulan had never participated in, and now, he is just a burden to Qin Lanzhi.

If it wasn't for his stalking, Qin Lanzhi wouldn't have to get involved in these messes.

The more I thought about it, the more frustrated I became, and when I looked at the backs of the two people who had gone away, I just felt how well-matched I looked, and how humble I looked.

Think of him as the third young master thanking him dignifiedly. When was he so humble when he was once a glorious man with fresh clothes and angry horses?

But when you like someone, you can't help it. It's always like holding a mirror, and you can only see your own shortcomings all the time.

Especially since he... let the murderer go.

Xie Yulan took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and clasped her fingers tightly on the window frame with such force that she even scratched the wooden frame with dents.

Looking at the distance again, Bai Yan didn't know what to say, and put his hand on Qin Lanzhi's shoulder.

Xie Yulan looked at that hand, feeling weird and distorted jealousy in her heart. He was like a sugar man full of air, but he was deflated after a light poke. He lowered his head in frustration and went back into the house.

What is he thinking?You can't think that Qin Lanzhi likes men just because Qin Lanzhi helped him once, what if the other party likes women?

Qin Lan's behavior style is different from other people's, so you can't think of him in the way of ordinary people.

But what if he likes men?Then is there any possibility for me...

Xie Yulan paced back and forth in the room, then sat down at the table and sighed.

I don't know how long it took before Qin Lanzhi came back, and the sound of his steady footsteps could be heard in the corridor outside.

Xie Yulan jumped up, and the moment she opened the door, she felt a little ridiculous—what was he going to say?

Qin Lanzhi's face changed instantly. He held the extinguished lantern in his hand and looked at him with raised eyebrows: "What's wrong?"

"...It's okay." Xie Yulan licked her lips, "I just... heard the sound, come out and have a look."

He said as if looking for something to say: "You have a really good relationship with Mr. Bai."

It was the first time he saw Qin Lanzhi would send someone off in person.

Qin Lanzhi looked at his face, and hooked his mouth: "Yes, because we have known each other for a long time."

Xie Yulan's throat moved, and she lowered her gaze: "Is that man on the boat before?"

"Yeah." Qin Lanzhi continued to walk forward as if nothing had happened, "I've also known you for many years."

"..." Xie Yulan followed up subconsciously. Out of the corner of her eye, she could see Qin Lanzhi's dangling hem, and he really wanted to pull it. "I thought...you didn't have any friends."

"why?"

Xie Yulan didn't speak, she seemed to be distracted, Qin Lanzhi scoffed: "Because I'm from Wanhe Palace?"

Xie Yulan snapped back to her senses, only to realize that her words were ambiguous: "No!"

Qin Lanzhi pushed open the door and threw the lantern aside: "Why is that?"

"It's just that you don't look like..." It's not like it's easy to trust people.

Qin Lanzhi didn't understand what Xie Yulan meant, and frowned: "Is this how I look in your eyes?"

"……No……"

Qin Lanzhi raised his hand to close the door: "Forget it, go to sleep."

"Wait!" Xie Yulan felt that she was getting darker and darker, so she had to change the subject, "Well, that, can I ask you, do you like men or women?"

Qin Lanzhi: "..."

The author says:

Qin Lanzhi: If you say you are timid, you are timid, and if you say you are bold, you are really bold.Xie Yulan:?
