Silver Moon Halberd

It was raining heavily outside the house, and the gloomy sky made it hard to tell the morning, noon and night. The room was filled with moisture, mixed with a faint smell.

Just now, Xi Xiu dragged him onto the bed and put his mouth on that place.

Although he is a bright student, it is the first time he has done this kind of thing. His teeth are scraped and the other party hurts. It is like being tortured.Xi Xiu said that Ye Zhenge lacked energy, and looked at him lovingly, only to get a cold stare.Facing the unresponsive things, Xi Xiu gradually felt bored, got out of bed, rinsed, ate a few fruits, and lay back beside the man.

Only half of the sleeve of the long gown that had been taken off was hanging on the left arm, and the underwear was loose to cover his lower body. Ye Zhenge lay on his side on the bed, looking sleepily at the young man staring at him.Xi Xiu slept from noon until the afternoon, but he didn't have such a good life. He wiped the other person's body, saw that the rain had turned to urinate, and went to the forest to pick wild fruits. Cleaning by the pool, it was two hours after the busy work was over.

It was rare for Xi Xiu to see him so quiet, almost docile. She raised her hand and stroked her spring mountain-like eyebrows and slightly squinted eyes with her thumb, and then slid to her lips, gently caressing the plump and tender lower lip.The coldest and ruthless words have been uttered here, and the most beautiful words of love have also been spoken; it was once stained obscenely and dirty by turbid liquid, but at the moment it is silent and noble.

Xi Xiu stared at the mole on her lips while rubbing it. Is this mole a icing on the cake or a fly in the ointment?Different people may have different answers, just like Ye Zhenge himself, Ye Qing regards him as a chess piece that can be used; Beloved and well-behaved nephew...

And in my own eyes... what about Ye Zhenge?

Before she could think clearly, Xi Xiu hugged him and kissed his lips, an extremely gentle kiss without lust.

Ye Zhenge still squinted his eyes slightly, and Xi Xiu could feel his steady breathing and relaxed body under his palms, as if he was used to being close to him, at least... he didn't reject it.

Xi Xiu was a little happy.

Moving the hands behind his back, Xi Xiu carefully stroked every scar on his skin.The wound on the left arm was very special, it was neither caused by a sharp instrument nor a burn, but a raw piece of flesh was missing, Xi Xiunahan asked, "How did it come about?"

Ye Zhenge asked without answering, "Are you curious?"

"I know it's rude to expose people's scars. If I offend you, I apologize."

Dazed for a moment, Ye Zhenge burst out laughing, his whole body trembling from the laughter: "Young Xia understands righteousness so well and is so considerate, Ye is flattered."

This person probably won't get rid of this problem for the rest of his life, and he can't speak without a gun and a stick...

Xi Xiu must have been annoyed before, but now she doesn't mind much, human beings have shortcomings, Ye Zhenge can tolerate him, why can't he tolerate the other party?

Barely suppressing his smile, Ye Zhenge said indifferently: "When I was 15 years old, Chuxing and Chi Qianli were sent into Tianshui Karst Cave by my father. Chuxing was so hungry that he bit me."

Half truths.

Ye Zhenge has not personally told him about Shen Chuxing's life experience so far, but Xi Xiu understands that even if Shen Chuxing starves to death, he will not hurt Ye Zhenge, unless "Wuqing accidentally" goes crazy.

Why didn't he tell himself?Xu Yin never regarded Shen Chuxing as a monster different from ordinary people. Xu Yin was best at finding "difficulties" for others. Xu Yin's experience made him feel that this matter was not worth mentioning...

Inexplicably, the nasal cavity was sore, touched the depression, and Xi Xiu moved her fingertips to a deep sword mark on Ye Zhenge's belly: "What about here?"

"I went to Canglan Mountain to obtain the Longyuan Sword, and was accidentally injured when I entered the formation."

"What about here?" Xi Xiu then stroked his right rib.

Ye Zhenge smiled helplessly: "I don't remember."

"here?"

"……Can not remember."

"Here," Xi Xiu pressed her palm lightly against his chest, and stared straight at him, "Don't you remember?"

After being silent for a while, Ye Zhenge held the back of Xi Xiu's hand: "Are you blaming yourself?"

Xi Xiu also did not answer but instead asked: "Should I not blame myself?"

Let go of him, turned over and lay flat, Ye Zhenge stared at the ceiling of the tent in silence for a moment, and said, "If I were you, I wouldn't blame myself."

But you are not me after all... If you go ahead with it, it will be a dead end, Xi Xiu turned around and said, "Why didn't you leave when I fell asleep?"

"I," paused, Ye Zhenge turned his back to him, "I'm tired, I can't walk."

Xi Xiu hugged him lightly from then on, as gentle as that gesture was, so sharp was her words: "Have you ever hated anyone?"

"……I have no idea."

In the dim light, Xi Xiu blinked, and said in an extremely soft voice: "Have you ever loved anyone?"

The surroundings suddenly become much quieter, only the sound of the pattering rain coming from outside the house, as if falling in the heart, so real and so cold.

From yesterday to this morning, the rain has not stopped.

Ye Zhenge leaned against the wide open window and looked out through the dense rain.Under the gloomy sky, a handsome figure stood by the pool with a bamboo pole in hand. A fish was inserted into the end of the bamboo pole, and it was slapping its tail in a dying struggle.

The rain drifted in by the wind and stained his eyebrows, Ye Zhenge blinked, his gaze was still fixed on the young man.What lingers in my ears is the question from last night...

He was so absorbed in his thoughts that he didn't even notice that his shoulders were wet by the rain.

Xi Xiulu passed by the window and saw him staring at him in a daze, glanced at his shoulder, stretched his arm, and closed the window back with a "click".Stepping into the dining hall, it was not as dilapidated as imagined. Xi Xiu cleaned it up a bit, lit the dry firewood piled up in front of the stove, stuffed it into the stove belly, and made a pot of fragrant fish soup.

Ye Zhenge was so hungry that he couldn't help but admire after the first sip: "This soup——"

"This soup is comparable to that of Qionghua Immortal Brew, beyond the reach of ordinary people," Xi Xiu stopped the conversation, too lazy to listen to his babbling, "I can't stop your mouth."

Ye Zhenge shook his head: "If you don't want to hear it, then stop talking."

After two or three sips, the bowl was just put back on the table when another bowl was pushed in front of him. He looked in and was startled. It was a bowl of broken fish, not a single bone or thorn could be seen.After a moment of silence, he raised his chopsticks. He didn't taste the meat in this bowl, or maybe he tasted too much.

Sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty are indistinct.

Sitting across from him, Xi Xiu looked at Ye Zhenge, his eyes moved from bottom to top, from his slightly fluttering lips to his lowered eyelids, and finally fixed on his hair, and when he looked carefully, there were almost invisible shadows mixed with blackness. The silver wire... If he was in an ordinary family, he should have married a wife and had children to enjoy the family relationship. However, his surname is Ye, and he is the son of Ye Qing. He is destined to have a bad fate and miss this simple happiness.

"Are you going to spend the rest of your life here?" Xi Xiu asked suddenly.

After swallowing the last bite of fish, and placing the chopsticks neatly on the edge of the bowl, Ye Zhenge raised his eyes and said, "This is a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters and simple folk customs. It is a suitable place to live."

After a pause, he continued: "What about you... what are your plans for the future?"

Xi Xiu said without thinking, "Go back to the Martial Arts League."

——Tie Zheng owed him a favor after all, and he has the responsibility to guard the last leg of the other party before he leaves office.

Hearing this, Ye Zhenge was silent for a while, nodded his head and said: "If I remember correctly, Tie Zheng will step down as the leader of the alliance next year, while Li Chuan is still young and not qualified enough to convince everyone, even though he is expensive as the leader of the alliance. I'm afraid the next alliance leader will fall into another family. People's hearts are unpredictable, and your beheading Wei Xun at Shangwutai is not a righteous act in everyone's eyes."

"There is only one meaning in this passage. You are worried about my safety," Xi Xiu said in a relaxed tone, but her expression was extremely serious. I swallowed it seventeen or eight times, and after careful consideration, only the trade-offs remain."

Frowning and slowly relaxing, Ye Zhenge said flatly: "Isn't it more helpful to remind you to see the situation clearly than useless worries?"

"Is it useless..." Xi Xiu shook her head while repeating, "For whom? Who decides?"

"It's not important, at least not as important as the final result."

"Deceive yourself, it's not that you don't care about the process, you just feel that no one can understand you."

For a while, both of them fell silent.

Staring at Ye Zhenge's unwavering eyes, Xi Xiu let out a breath and said, "There are some things you don't like to hear, but I still want to say them."

"You want me to avenge the Ye family, so you shouldn't say such heartless words at the end, saying that you never have me in your heart. You should have taken advantage of the situation to add fire instead of pouring cold water. If I hate you because of love, all your sacrifices will be in vain. It turned into nothing. You do this because you don't want me to be obsessed with obsession and get stuck in the mud; when you put me, a tool to be used, on the same day as the entire Ye family, I am no longer insignificant in your heart."

There was a dark tide surging in the bottom of his eyes, but his attitude was still gentle and self-sustaining. Ye Zhenge said: "I was the one who dragged the innocent people who lived in seclusion and lived in mountains and valleys into the vortex of revenge. Even if this person is not you, I am ashamed of him." , can make up for some."

"It doesn't matter," Xi Xiu said indifferently, "It is an indisputable fact that that person is me, and you did not deny that I have a place."

Ye Zhenge pursed his lips slightly and looked at him quietly.

Xi Xiu also looked at him quietly for a while, then continued: "I asked you yesterday, who have you hated or loved?"

"You want to answer for me?" Ye Zhenge frowned.

Xi Xiu said with clear eyes: "You can solve my doubts for me, and I can also solve your doubts. The ones you want to hate are the blood relatives you can't let go of, and the ones you want to love, but you feel that you have let them down. You can't hate them." , love but dare not love, it should be said that you are too thoughtful or too timid."

Ye Zhenge's complexion sank, and he wanted to get up when he moved.

Xi Xiu took his hand on the table first, "If you can't disagree with your own opinion, then don't blame me for underestimating you."

Ye Zhenge tried hard but couldn't free his clenched hands, so Ye Zhenge simply looked away and turned to look out the window.

Seeing that he seems to be angry, Xi Xiu is very happy. It is not difficult to annoy Ye Zhenge, but it is not easy for him to reveal this emotion without hiding it.

"I can't answer for others whether you have failed him, but if I am lucky, I am one of the people you want to love, and I can answer for myself."

Changing the subject, Xi Xiu continued: "There was a time when I hated you so much, hated your hypocrisy, your deceit, and even wished I had never met you. But gradually I understood that this assumption is meaningless, and time will not Going backwards, every outcome in the present is inevitable. It was you who came to me when I was alone and alone, and it was inevitable.”

Blinking, Ye Zhenge slowly turned his head.

"The fate between you and me is inevitable but not wonderful." Xi Xiu's appearance is as handsome as before, but with an expression he is not familiar with, a trace of helplessness and melancholy, "Occasionally, I think that if there is no grievance from the previous generation, we can be together." Are we going together? But in the end, it is just another verification of Shen Chuxing's words; if there is no 'hate' relationship, you and I are people from two worlds."

"I have no power to change, except to face such an ending," Xi Xiu touched from the back of his hand to his wrist, and the steady pulse transmitted was the heartbeat of a living person, "and it is because you are alive that the ending is not too bad. You're alive... it's never been a pain for me."

"So, don't feel guilty any more," Xi Xiu let go of her palms, with a smile as innocent as when they first met, "cherish yourself and live a good life."

Ye Zhenge was silent.Xi Xiu had a brand new life after letting go, which should have been the result of his dreams, and he should be pleased, but his tightly closed lips could not bend a single arc.

No one said anything after that.

Maybe all that should be said has been said, maybe what I really want to say is hidden somewhere in the bottom of my heart, hidden too deep, so deep that I can't find the clue.

The rain that lasted for two days finally stopped after nightfall.

After changing back into the clothes she had when she came back, Xi Xiu stood by the bed and looked at the sleeping person, drawing the face with her fingertips in the void, from eyebrows to eyes, from nose to lips, never really falling.The tighter some things are held, the faster they will pass away. The closer some people want to get closer, the farther they will be.

Leaving the room and closing the door softly, Xi Xiu stared ahead...Suddenly recalled that Ye Zhenge once said to him: One day you will understand and understand what you want.

Slowly, he took the first step.Ask yourself what exactly do you want?

In the second step, he asked himself what he was insisting on?

When you take the third step, you already have the answer in your heart, and you walk forward without looking back.

As the footsteps gradually drifted away, a person in the dark room opened his eyes, and the expression in his eyes was a little darker than that night.
