Jianghai Wuyue

Chapter 33: The Heart

Yuan Qingzhang has never been so angry and distressed. The person holding his hands is cold all over. When he walked away with a face, he was still full of vigor and ruddy. After returning, he turned into the current distraught appearance.Water droplets stood on the hair, a trace of wood chips stuck to the eyelashes, and the lips were pale, as if he had passed through the gate of hell.

"A Ling, what's the matter? You just went out for a while, why did you change your appearance after you came back, did someone bully you, tell me, I tied up that person in three minutes to make you vent your anger. "Yuan Qingzhang only had Chen Ling's ashen face in his head, and when his mouth was bald, he said to him like what his elder brother coaxed the little lady outside to say.

Standing next to him, Wang Qi and Chen De are also nodding in tangle with him now. Chen De is young and has gone through the day's affairs. Even though he is gifted and intelligent, he is still very sad and uncomfortable.Seeing his elder brother's weak appearance when he was fished out of the ice water, tears almost rolled down his face. When he heard Yuan Qingzhang's random words, he didn't bother to argue with them, but just followed suit blindly.While helping him to walk into the house.

Lin Si ordered people to go to Tangquan early on to put boiling hot water, prepared plain blue pajamas and put them on the table next to the soup pond, and even asked the cook to carefully prepare a hot table to soothe the nerves. Soul-fixing meals come.A face was covered with clouds, and the idleness and indifference that hung on his face on weekdays had all turned into cold gloom, and a pair of eyes stared at the servants who came and went with brilliance, completely lost the approachableness of the past.At this time, the servants on Cangyue Mountain understood what it means to be majestic and solemn.

The slaves sent by the Liu family also quietly put away their hands and feet, and waited quietly in the yard. Seeing Lin Si's eyes indicating the order to evict guests, they didn't stay any longer, and simply left.

Chen Ling was served by Yuan Qingzhang and took off his clothes. After taking them off, he realized that his whole body was wet, even his inner clothes were soaked in water.There was a slight fishy smell of water on the clothes, obviously soaked in an unclean pool.Yuan Qingzhang was angry that he didn't take care of his body, and in a blink of an eye he saw him sitting in the soup pool motionless and depressed, and felt distressed, sighed softly, and took a towel to wipe his back for him.

"What's going on? You always have your own calculations in your mind. Even when you learned that your father died early and was replaced by an impostor, you never lost your composure. What happened today?" Yuan Qingzhang didn't want to make indirect remarks , he can talk to anyone about his cloudy and witty fighting style, but in front of him, he can never bear such a smiling but secretly calculating way of speaking.Even if he gets angry and alienated from him at that time, it's better than waiting aside and worrying and pretending to be calm now.

The hot water boiled by Tangquan boiled with a large amount of steaming mist, which completely covered his eyes in a daze.The questioning from Yuan Qingzhang next to him seemed to be hidden in the clouds and fog, and he couldn't understand it, only a faint echo sounded vaguely for a while.

Seeing his empty eyes, Yuan Qingzhang finally suppressed the burning anger in his heart, took a deep breath, and silently settled down to serve him to wash and dress.Even going out was dragged by Yuan Qingzhang.

There is already a table full of food on the table, all carefully cooked by the chef, refreshing and delicious.Wang Qi and Chen Xi waited for him to come back hungry for half a day, and then they waited in fear for most of the night just now.Wang Qi practiced martial arts since he was a child and was not tired yet, but Chen Xi couldn't help his eyelids fighting early on. Sitting on the soft cushion and trying to hold on, he couldn't help but nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.The nanny who was serving him next to him wanted to persuade him to go back first, but seeing such a cold and tense atmosphere, she kept silent, and just quietly put on a piece of clothing to cover her body, so as not to catch cold in the night wind.

Hearing the movement of Chen Ling coming out, Chen De woke up in a start, and looked at him eagerly, but he didn't dare to disturb his current mood abruptly, for fear that if he was not careful, his brother would be overly frightened and demented.When he was in the academy the year before last, he saw an old schoolteacher with the same stupid and soulless appearance, who twitched a few times when called by an outsider, and left before the doctor came.He has only been intimate with his brother for a few days, and he knows the warmth of caring, and he doesn't want to lose it easily.

The yellow candlelight in the lotus lamp emits quiet light, shining on Chen Ling's jade-white face, like a thin layer of powder applied on the face in a small opera, hanging on the face one by one, dizzy. The face also showed the coldness of Shen Yuan's shadow for no reason.

Lin Si has never seen him like this before. He has served Chen Ling for many years, and he knows best what kind of person his young master is. figure.Although he still has the charm and demeanor that he has cultivated, he has never had such a full-bodied scheming that only a gentleman from a wealthy family can have.At the beginning, no one in the sect knew that this was a pure and honest young man who could only see the wind and snow in his eyes, and he didn't care about the affairs behind him at all. Only a sword sect master like Qi Mengtang could raise such a temperamental person .

It's just that today he really noticed the earth-shaking changes in the young master, such indifferent and cold eyes, and the scheming and coldness that inadvertently turned over made his heart tremble uncontrollably.

"I heard a... very bad news today, which made me feel so uncomfortable that I had to make a decision immediately." Chen Ling blinked his eyelashes, and his pupils instantly became clear, ugly After such a long time, it is time to wake up, "I plan to set off for Hongzhou tomorrow to check some things. At that time, Lin Si and Lang Yue will still follow me, and Xi'er will go to Jiangyang to study , I will let the elder brother take care of you. Mother will take care of the trivial matters at home, so don't worry."

The aroma of the food on the dining table rises up, and the fish soup in front of you is thick and white, with a little chopped green onion on the noodles. It is so fragrant that people can't help but move their index fingers.But now no one is interested in putting their eyes on this fish soup, they just stare at Chen Ling with a calm face, with surprise in their eyes.

Wang Qi didn't care about these trifles, naturally Chen Ling said what he said, but Chen Xi muttered twice, unable to recognize his voice: "Why did my brother suddenly make such a decision, but is there anything else at home?" A look of shame appeared on his face, he lowered his head, and said timidly: "It's all my fault, if it wasn't for me, I think my brother wouldn't have made such a decision, and I don't know what mother is How sad. Brother has only been back for a few months, and mother misses him day and night, if she hears that brother is leaving, I'm afraid You will be sad for a long time."

Chen Ling's eyes were fixed with a sharp warmth and coolness. Hearing Chen Xi said that Liu would be sad, he just showed a light smile, "It's inevitable for a mother to be sad. A man is a man. Getting married and starting a business is a major event in life. If you blindly Stuck in the deep house and gentle village, I am afraid that the hero will be short of breath and it will be difficult to achieve great things. And..." He turned his head and looked at his younger brother with a downcast face in shame, eyes There is a bit more stern and serious, and the tone is like raindrops hitting jade, Qing Lingling is cold and broken, "You are a boy, and you are the only man besides me in this family. You are getting older now , don't act like a baby anymore, it's time to stand up properly. Besides, I also said that I never blamed you, I always do what I say, so I don't need to worry about it anymore. "

It was the first time Chen Xi heard such cold and heartless words. Even when he heard about his life experience that day, he never saw his brother speak so harshly without a trace of warmth.Chen Xi hurriedly put away the timid look on his face. He always thought that his brother liked to take pity on the weak, so he always made such a soft look to attract his pity.But from today's perspective, there must have been some major event that could change his will, causing him to suddenly change his gentle temperament tonight, and become so cold and stern.It's just that he doesn't know what it is, and he should ask someone to investigate carefully later, and hold the news in his hands to make him feel at ease.

"My brother understands. Thank you for your teaching. In the future, I will show my masculinity and help my brother stand up." Chen Xi put away the shy look on his face, clasped his fists and bowed to Chen Ling with firm eyes.

Yuan Qingzhang glanced at him lightly, without saying a word, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, he picked up the bowl of fish soup in front of him and took a sip, and waited for everyone to finish eating here and then leave. With an indifferent face, Chen Ling went to the study alone.

At the door of the study is a lantern of eight-treasure glazed glass. The smooth amber mirror is inlaid with thin white slices of apricot blossoms and shadows of lotus root, reflecting a graceful shadow on the ground mixed with cyanite.

The corner of Yuan Qingzhang's flying clothes left a fleeting shadow on the ground, which disappeared without a trace before he could see the shape clearly.There are pots of small peach blossoms at the bottom of the steps. Finger-sized round five-petal flowers bloom neatly and obediently on the green spherical flower branches. A few petals are scattered and fall on the steps, gently blown by the night wind. It blew up, and threw itself on Chen Ling who was following behind, adding a bit of bewitching beauty to the plain white clothes.

"Did you retire just to stand here with me and blow the cold wind?" Chen Ling lowered his eyes and looked indifferently at the peach-pink petals on the hem of his clothes. Seeing Yuan Qingzhang standing there with his back on his back, he didn't care He himself sat on the chair next to him.On the back of the chair is a round mirror of the Yuhu Stone Asahi Habitat, attached to his back, and the cold temperature penetrates into his heart through the thin clothes, causing Chen Ling to lock his own hands a little bit. Trembling coolness.

Yuan Qingzhang's eyes were dark, and he no longer had the tenderness and soft smile of the past. He turned his back to Chen Ling and blew the wind for a while, then turned his head and said in a deep voice: "You have always been gentle and open, and you have never been so gentle. With such a cold and gloomy look, I just saw you full of resentment and scheming, and I really don't want you as usual. What happened to make you change your mind so much."

"People's nature never changes for a while. If you want to become natural, you can change it. Does it need some earth-shattering event to happen to you to change it?" Chen Ling cast his eyes away from the layer of softness that had been covered in the past. Hua Guang, the hidden cold stars gather into dots of indifferent light in his eyes, facing the moonlight and looking at Yuan Qingzhang who is looking down at him, he raises a cold smile and says, "Perhaps this indifferent and scheming temperament is My true face, the kindness and gentleness of the past are just a false appearance to be liked by others, as you can see, the person you are obsessed with is also you who recognized the wrong person and kept the wrong relationship."

These words were like an arrow piercing the heart, piercing straight into his heart, the excited Yuan Qingzhang suddenly changed color, his eyes turned cold instantly, and with a sneer, he suddenly took two steps forward, leaned over and stretched his arms The chair confines Chen Ling within a square inch.

"What do you think the head of Jing'anhai does?" A gloomy flame ignited in Yuan Qingzhang's dark eyes, and when he got close, he could clearly see that there seemed to be a sullen red light around the edge, "There are only things that we don't want to know about Jing'anhai's secrets in the world. There is no news that we can't get. Just for this one, there are countless people who want to replace it, or subvert the whole family together. To maintain such a family Do you think it is a very simple matter that the business can still stand like a day for decades, and it is as solid as gold soup?"

Yuan Qingzhang narrowed his eyes slightly and gritted his teeth. Sometimes he really wanted to pry his head open to see what he was thinking. He was about to cut his heart open and put it in front of him, even though he couldn't accept it. Anything that violates ethics and shocks the world can be rejected as much as possible.But he was always on the verge of leaving, and the slight hesitation between words often caused him to toss and turn, not knowing what to do, and completely lost the demeanor of the patriarch in the past.

"I have been in charge of family affairs since I was a child, and I have seen dark and treacherous things far beyond the imagination of the world, and I have been with you for so long, don't I know your true temperament?" Sliding down and grabbing the hand on the knee, the phalanges were almost pinching his wrist, but in the end, looking at his stubborn appearance that refused to make a sound even though he was suffering from pain, after all, he took a step back and softened his voice, " I know that you are not such a person. No one in the world has dark schemes or vicious schemes. It’s just that some people use all their scheming to commit suicide, while others have no choice but to plot. No one in this world is better than me. I can understand you better, even if you talk to me indifferently now, I don't believe that you will be such a smooth and playful person."

The sullen flames in his eyes slowly extinguished, leaving only the warmth of tenderness, "I know that there must be a secret buried in your heart that will tear you apart. If you don't want to say it, I won't force you, but I just want to Let you know, I am not afraid that you are not the glamorous young hero that everyone says, I only know you, and I only have a crush on you. No matter how hard you try, what kind of filth you are people, I don't care."

He used all the tenderness and restraint in his body to gently hold him in his arms, just repeating a sentence over and over again, "I only care about you, no matter if you change your appearance or mind, I only care about you. "

There were warm, affectionate and soft whispers in his ears, intertwined with soft breaths, which made his heart tremble slowly.He never thought that one day, there would be a solid arm for him to rely on, and he would know all the fear and anxiety in his heart.

Chen Ling slowly stretched out his hand to hug Yuan Qingzhang's generous back, and leaned softly on his shoulder. Maybe men and women in the world are always divided into yin and yang, and those men who are restricted by the world should stand upright and hold tears , and women should be husband and wife, gentle and virtuous has never been the exclusive mood of any one of them.

He is a man, he will feel tired, and he also hopes that there is someone who can unswervingly let him rely on and protect him from wind and rain.Maybe it was because of the sincere care in his eyes that he was secretly emotional at the beginning, but it was just the troubles of the world that made him dare not break away from the eyes and rumors of the world.

"I take what you said today as the truth, and I will engrave it in my heart. If one day you can't stand the gossip and gossip of the world, and leave me behind, I will never die with you!"

Senhan's lingering bloody words made Yuan Qingzhang's heart burst into flames. He only felt that before this life and after the rest of his life, there was no words that could compare to the heart-warming and sweetness of this moment.
