Siberian wood bone

I looked at my hands, and then at the porcelain white bottle beside the bed, feeling uncertain.

Last night...was it a dream?

I got up quickly, put on my coat in a hurry, and wanted to find someone——

As soon as he opened the door, he bumped into Ning Fei.

He helped me up, "Master, slow down—" Before I could say anything, he saw my hand again, and said helplessly, "Yes, I haven't told you yet—why didn't you tell me if you got scratched? ? If I hadn’t seen it last night, how long would you have kept it from me?”

I was stunned, "You...wrapped it up with me?"

"...Naturally." He didn't understand why, "It's not convenient for you to bandage yourself, you should tell me..." He couldn't help but glanced a few more times, his expression suddenly became strange, "But..."

I heard that it was him, and the previous inexplicable impulse receded completely in an instant, as if all the strength in my body had been taken away, I turned around lazily, and went back to the room.

Ning Fei didn't know what to say at first, but now he stopped talking, and followed in with a food box, "Master, let's eat first."

"Leave it alone." I shook my head.As he spoke, he walked in again, found a low couch and sat down next to each other, his mind gradually cleared up a lot.

That's right, if it wasn't a dream last night, how could I still be able to sit here peacefully at this moment... Although I remember vaguely, I still remember the fact that I called him "Master", and he answered me...

I shivered inexplicably, feeling that something was wrong.

knock --

I was still staring at the ground in front of me in a daze, when I heard Ning Fei's voice outside: "Mr. Xilan?"

...Master? !

I stood up immediately.

As soon as the master came in, he saw me standing there stupidly, and couldn't help but smiled, "I heard from Ning Fei that you didn't have breakfast, so what should I do, but it turned out to be a fool here."

"I..." I suddenly became embarrassed and didn't dare to look at him again.

But these few days of estrangement have become like ten thousand ants devouring my heart. Now that this person is right in front of me, how can I really be willing to look away.

Then the gaze that was secretly turned back was caught by playful eyes.

"..." There was a dilemma.

He seemed to think my appearance was interesting, he just looked at me with a smile and didn't speak.

As a last resort, I had no choice but to talk nonsense: "What's the purpose of Xi Lan's coming here?" I hoped that he would stop making fun of me.

"Huh—?" He elongated his voice, showing some doubts, "Can't you come if you have nothing to do?"

"..." Of course I didn't mean that.

"But I do have one thing." He may have finally seen enough of my excitement, and quickly continued: "Ji Yao said that there is a teahouse in the suburbs of the city. She has been there several times with her friends, and the quiet room in that building is amazing. Make some gadgets, she hasn't been there for a long time, I miss it... I remember you have a lot of experience in wood carving, do you want to join us?"

I twisted my fingers, pressing on the wound, and suddenly took a deep breath.

It's Ji Yao again...

The joy in my heart because of him suddenly faded a lot, and it became astringent, making my heart feel bitter.

If I had known... I would not have asked, maybe I would have known the truth later, so I would be happier for a while.

"Are you injured?" His gaze was fixed on my hand, the snow was lightly covered, and the emotion in his eyes could not be seen, "It was handled well."

"……Um."

I didn't know it before, but it was so laborious just to pretend nothing had happened.If I have never received his gentle and special treatment, then I might pretend to be a little more relaxed at this moment... But I have already experienced it, but I lost it again.

I hid my injured hand and nodded stiffly, "...then let's go together." As long as I can stay with him for a while, I am willing.

But before he could speak, Ji Yao jumped out from nowhere and thanked me charmingly: "That's great! Thank you Brother Qi!"

"Thanks for what I did..." I muttered.Can't help but look away, afraid of seeing the doting under the sea of ​​night lights again from his brows and eyes.

Ji Yao smiled and didn't answer.

Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of her winking quietly at the people around her.

The next moment, the man's teasing voice sounded: "You will be careful in a while, don't paddle like him."

I couldn't keep it any longer, so I turned around and wanted to find another place to relax.

Unexpectedly, Ji Yao followed immediately, tugged at my sleeve, and said pitifully, "Brother Qi, I haven't had breakfast yet, let's go after eating!"

She said she wanted to carve, but Ji Yao has a lively personality. Not long after she arrived in the quiet room, she was so greedy to see the forest of flowers all over the mountains behind the other courtyard, she couldn't sit still for a while, and dragged Master and me to accompany her Go outside and play.

But when she got out of the yard, she let go again, and ran to the front by herself, shuttled among the flowers and bushes, smiling sweetly, like a fluttering butterfly.

I suddenly felt envious.

"What are you looking at? So engrossed."

A shadow was cast before his eyes.

When I raised my head, I saw Master looking down at me, with only my shadow in his eyes...

As before, nothing seems to have changed.

My heart was hit lightly, and I couldn't help saying: "You and Ji Yao..."

"What are you talking about, is someone willing to come and pick a branch for me first?"

Ji Yao's voice came from the front—she couldn't reach the flowering branch on the tree, so she turned her head to ask us.

The restlessness that propped me up to speak just now disappeared immediately.

I responded lightly, but I still couldn't get back to my senses. I was stunned for a while, and then I moved my feet. The master had already stepped towards her, and said in his mouth: "Here we come."

I stopped in my tracks and watched the master walk under the flower, climbed off the flower branch, and handed it to Ji Yao with a smile.

Ji Yao smiled sweetly, and took a step forward——

I turned around and ran away.

"Hey! Brother Qi, where are you going..."

"Let him go."

Far away, Master's voice seemed to carry a chill in the wind.

My feet couldn't help but go faster.

I found an excuse, Tosang Jiu told Shizun and Ji Yao, and took Ning Fei away in a panic.

The out-of-control mood gradually settled down on the way back alone, but soon fell into the slumped quagmire in front of him.I keep spinning in this predicament, but I can't find a way out...

I am not as free and easy as I thought I could let go, but I am also weak by nature, I dare not even let go, I am afraid that I will lose even what I just hold... What's more, with my despicableness, where does my qualification come from? Don't dare to tell him that you like it.

I smiled wryly, and felt that I had learned the ability to pretend to be deaf and dumb without a teacher.As for the matter between him and Ji Yao right now, as long as he doesn't say anything clearly, I'll still hang on and stay between the two of them.

……

I leaned against the wall of the car tiredly, and said to myself: When they come back, I would like to apologize to them.

It's just that they never thought that until the sun set and the moon rose, the two of them still disappeared.

...I never thought that what I just thought would come true so quickly, I was caught off guard so quickly, and I was beaten in a hurry.

However, I also know in my heart that no matter how much time is given to me, I can't be ready-prepared to lose him.

I was waiting in Ji Yao's courtyard, and the servants passing by were talking about Miss Today's going out:

"Miss invited Mr. Xilan to swim in the lake, do you know?"

"I know, I heard... Our young master has agreed!"

"I've prepared a lot of things—"

"Hey, I'm afraid that something good is coming for our young lady!"

……

If I didn't have it, maybe I wouldn't be greedy.If I leave Qiyue and end everything, I can also suppress my love for him for the rest of my life, but...

Not only did he reappear in front of me, but he was also so close to me, as if he could reach me with a stretch of hand... However, this was no different from before, I was still taking advantage of others.Even, this is the evidence of my betrayal back then.

It's ridiculous for a betrayer to talk about love.

……

However, the thoughts in my mind were intertwined with the pain in my heart, almost driving me crazy.

"Master..." I muttered.

"Master Mugu, if you can't let go, why don't you fight for it?"

I looked up and saw that Sang Jiu came back at some point.

If you can't bear it, go and grab it.

……

These words seem familiar.

I was in a trance for a while.

I stood up and stopped the maid in the courtyard.

"...Where is Xilan?"

"Miss invited Mr. Xilan to go on a lake tour together, and it may take a while for her to return—Young master, is there something urgent to find Mr. Xilan?"

"Lead me there."

I heard myself say that.

The author says:

"But it seems that I didn't bandage it."
