Siberian wood bone

I almost dropped the plate in my hand.But the culprit had an innocent face, as if he didn't realize that he said something shocking, leaving me blushing and at a loss what to do.

He just stood there looking at me, not saying a word.

I hastily turned my eyes away, not daring to meet his gaze, and managed to slow down my beating heartbeat, and said in a low voice: "I heard Qingming said that you have a bad appetite, so I made some food... I don't know if it suits your appetite, you How about a taste?"

When I entered the room, the hotness on my face couldn't go away, and what made it worse was that the person sitting at the table had his eyes fixed on me.I was afraid that he would see the clues in my heart, and my heart became more empty, but it was also more noisy, and the noise became one; it ignited into a fire again, burning all over my cheeks and fingertips, every detail seemed to be licked by the tongue of fire, the heat seemed to be about to die. Burned my whole body.

"You don't want to..." Look again.

On the spur of the moment, he almost spoke out what was in his heart.

But when I looked at it again, the person on the other side had open eyes, and there was no hint of charming, but I had a ghost in my heart, so I felt suspicious even when I saw him, and I became angry from embarrassment... Fortunately, I woke up in time.

"What?" Master naturally turned his face to me.The lamps and candles in the room dyed the light snow between his brows soft, just like the countless nights we shared together with candles.

I haven't seen such a master for a long time... The most common scene in the past, but now it is very embarrassing.I suddenly fell down, feeling gloomy, but I couldn't talk to others, so I had to spread the meals silently one by one.

The food has been served, and I was leaning over to put the chopsticks on the table, when suddenly I heard the master sitting on the side say leisurely: "Can you come and see me often?"

pat-

The chopsticks in my hand fell on the table, and in my panic, I almost brought the bowl down with my wrong hand. Fortunately, Master was quick to support me.

"Watch out."

The palm temperature that does not belong to me is attached to the back of the hand.

I was dazed for a while, and felt as if I had been scalded, and I was about to break away—but the master had already let go, and before the waves started, he put the bowl away calmly, "I don't have any other friends in this city." , recuperate every day and it is inconvenient to go out, it is very boring to be alone. If you are free, can you come and accompany me more often?"

...So that's what it means.

I have mixed feelings in my heart.Knowing that Master's reaction is normal... knowing that it should not be, but I can't help but feel lost.

Others don't know the inside story, but I just pretend to be myself.All of a sudden, I felt even more embarrassing for myself to act like this.

Master waited for a while, seeing that my complexion was getting worse, he thought he was embarrassing me, so he said carefully: "If you are busy, forget it."

As soon as the voice fell, I hurriedly picked it up, "I... I'm free."

No matter how good the idea was, as soon as I saw him, saw his face, and heard his voice, I couldn't bear to refuse him——I would listen to anything he said.

I lowered my eyes to see his white fingertips resting on the table, and swallowed a few times uncontrollably, "...I'm not busy."

"Then... it's a deal."

I heard the bewitching voice beside my ear say this, and then I was bewitched, I just nodded, I couldn't remember my original intention of staying away from him at all, so I was hooked out of my soul in such a stupid way.

I took a seat opposite the master, but my mind was wandering all the way.For a while, I thought of the warnings of the elders, and for a while, I remembered those days again, and both sides tore me apart.In a blink of an eye, it all fell on the person in front of him.

When I came back to my senses, Master had stopped waiting for me for how long.I couldn't help being embarrassed, "...have you eaten?"

The master nodded, stared at me for a moment, and suddenly said with a smile: "The food is very appetizing, can I still eat it some other day?"

Feeling puzzled, he saw his face full of anticipation in the reflection in his eyes, gradually becoming suspicious, and suddenly froze again.

I was short of breath, and immediately lowered my brows and narrowed my eyes, feeling very annoyed.How can I show myself like this, I am really ashamed...

After dinner, I was supposed to say goodbye, but when I walked to the door, I saw the shadowy tree shadow, and suddenly thought - I didn't see Zhuoyu by my side this time, where did it go... it was born What happened?

The doubts in my heart did not disappear, and I felt anxious again.

I immediately turned around.

Master Xunsheng looked over, "What happened? The look is so hasty."

The thoughts in my mind were also in a mess, looking at the person in front of me, I asked the inexplicable question strangely: "...Why did you come to Yangcheng alone?"

Master hasn't answered yet, I've been disturbed by the speculation in my heart, but I can't refute it—I'm afraid something happened in Qiyue City, otherwise, how can I explain that Master came here before he recovered, and lost contact with the people around him ... How is his body now?What is the situation in Qiyue City?If he doesn't go back, is it because he has lost all his money, lost his way, or...can't go back?

While I was anxiously guessing, Master's voice sounded: "Didn't your brother tell you? I was called to see a doctor, and I got separated from my servant. I didn't have any money on me. I was about to live on the street. Fortunately, I met him." .”

Is it just that...

"Who do you see a doctor?" I asked again.

I don't know exactly what answer I want, but the uneasiness in my heart cannot be dispelled, forcing me to do something...or ask something.

The master thought for a while, but said unsurely: "... from the city lord's mansion? I heard it's a lady, but it's just a man."

"...Then do you remember who you are?" I looked at him nervously.

"Huh?" Master rolled his eyes and smiled, "It sounds like you know who I am?"

But I was not in the mood to joke with him, so I asked, "Do you remember?"

Master suppressed his smile.Looking at me for a moment, he leaned on the table and stood up slowly. His slender figure blocked the candlelight behind him; it was as if a dense net had been drawn in front of me, and I was in it, and the light could nowhere be found.He approached me step by step, and bent down beside me, "Of course I remember—it's you, why am I so nervous?"

"..." I pursed my lips.

Master looked at my expression, or felt that my tense appearance was interesting, and suddenly the corners of his lips curled up, his face softened, and the solemn oppression just now disappeared.As if to win my trust, he thought for a while, and said, "I am Xilan, a...well, doctor, I come from the place you call Miaodi, I always remember that."

"... What else?" I asked again.

"What else?" He looked puzzled, "My servant took my money and ran away?"

"Then..." I don't know what to do, he actually forgot all the important things like before, but it's better than before, "... When do you want to go back?"

"...Go back?" Master repeated slowly and fell silent.After a while, he backed away a little, allowing the light to come in again.

On the desk by his hand, a candle was lightly burning.He stood in a brightly lit room, accompanied by a candle, but he couldn't melt into the light.There seems to be a smile on the face, but it can't be seen clearly, and there is a faint sense of gloom.

I took a step back in shock.

But soon, before I could take a closer look, Master had already blinked, showing some playfulness, "Your brother lets me stay as long as I want, why are you driving me away?"

"By the way, I asked him, and he said your name is Haitong, can I call you that?"
