Nine Nights Frost

After resting for a while, I silently turned over and turned my back to the young man, trying to keep some distance from him.

But he hugged my waist from behind, leaned over, and kissed my back lightly.

I don’t know why such a sweet touch made me feel a little sad. I pushed away the young man’s hand, picked up the scattered clothes beside the bed, put on my clothes and sat up.

Following my movements, the young man also sat up. His bare upper body was not covered by a sheet, and it seemed to be shining brightly under the misty moonlight.He leaned forward and said softly: "Star Master, are you blaming me for coming here without permission? Forgive me this time, okay?"

Seeing that I still didn't reply, he seemed a little worried, and his words were mixed with embarrassment, "Did it hurt just now? I... blame me for missing you so much."

With my back to him, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, trying to erase the excess emotion in my tone, and just said briefly: "Put on your clothes before leaving, forget it this time, and don't come here again."

There was silence all around, and suddenly, I was pulled over by the young man, and my shoulders were tightly held.

The young man's face was full of pain from being stabbed, and he said aggressively, "What do these words mean? Why did you suddenly change? You said you wanted me to stay by your side because of Yiqing? Or... are you really treating me? ...to me..." He tried a few times before uttering those two hurtful words like masochistic, "Tired?"

He looked at me with red eyes, and wanted to lean over to kiss me again, but I turned my head away.

I was almost suffocated by his sad expression, but I still pulled his hand from my shoulder, "Ming Chen, there are some things that don't need to be explained so clearly, you are too ignorant."

The room suddenly brightened.

Someone laughed and jumped a few steps into my arms, burying his head in my chest and dawdling, "Star Master, are you interested today? Yiqing misses you so much!"

The boy from the Jiaolong tribe who appeared suddenly gave me a kiss on the cheek, as if he was in a great mood because of the successful sneak attack, but the next moment he met Lu Mingchen's eyes on the bed.

"So that's how it is." The human youth spoke first, he straightened his back and stood up, put on his clothes one by one, then turned his head and showed me a forbearing and decisive smile, "Since this is what the Star Lord meant, Mingchen naturally obeys, if you tell me not to come again, then Lu Mingchen will never come again."

He walked away slowly and gracefully, but he never turned his head to look at me again.

I kept looking at his back until he completely disappeared into the night, and then I turned my head to look at Yiqing who had already been stunned.

Unexpectedly, my ambiguous attitude these days has caused the guards to have the illusion that I am pampering Yiqing, so I can let him in only by begging and intimidating me?

And how did Lu Mingchen get here through layers of guards?

"Uh...hehe," the Flood Dragon youth who knew the trouble had made a few dry laughs. He had already seen from my expression that something was wrong, so he hurriedly waved his hands to explain: "Star Lord, I really don't know anything this time. I really just wanted to give you a surprise, God knows how such a coincidence, Lu Mingchen happened to be here too..."

His voice is getting smaller and smaller.

"Finished?" I asked, looking down.

The Flood Dragon boy who was still hugging me blinked and nodded.

"Now that we're done talking, let's go back to Cuizhou tomorrow."

Yiqing blinked again, only then did she understand the meaning of my words, she couldn't help shouting "I don't want it", but she was already taken down by the guards who heard the sound.

I summoned the servants who will guard tonight.

Under my gloomy gaze, big drops of cold sweat gathered on his forehead: "It was Lu Mingchen who begged so hard, and my subordinates softened their hearts for a moment. Seeing him pitiful, and thinking of him as a small human being with no strength to restrain him, All I can do is to make the Star Master happy..."

"Honestly." I interrupted him.

My impatient tone made him almost lie down on the ground. After a while, he looked around hesitantly, and finally took out a pearl from his bosom tremblingly.

Those beads were clean and full, and the light emitted illuminated the entire palace.

Seeing my face change, the attendant kowtowed, "Star Master, forgive me, Star Master, my subordinates are just confused for a while... It's all Lu Mingchen, the subordinates are not greedy for these things, it's all him..."

I ignored him, just took those beads and looked at them carefully.

This is obviously the shark bead I asked for back from Cuizhou for my youth.

This kind of fineness, this size, even among shark beads is the best, yet he gave it away without hesitation.

Or did he think that if he could see me, it would be better than these priceless jewels?

I ordered people to drag the servant who was still crying and kneeling into Chifeng Valley.After everyone backed out, I took the wine bottle on the table, poured myself half a glass and downed it, then slammed the wine glass on the ground.

***

Three days later, I was listening to the envoys of the Immortal Clan and the Jiaolong Clan reporting to me the situation of the battle with the human rebels, but suddenly an attendant whispered in my ear saying that Tonghong was about to leave Weiyu Mountain and wished to bid me farewell.

After the gathering every year, the time for the demons to leave has always been decided by themselves. I have not set any restrictions on this, but I think my attitude in the Taolin last time probably made him aware of something, so I decided to leave. In such a hurry to go.

After the envoys of the Immortal Clan and the Flood Dragon Clan exited the hall, I watched Tong Hong and another person walk up to the hall together.

The figure following him was so familiar, it was Lu Mingchen.

Before I could speak, Tonghong knelt down on the ground, and said in a loud voice, "Xingzhu, Tonghong is leaving Weiyu Mountain today. I have a heartfelt request, and I hope you can fulfill it!" After saying this sentence , he waited and saw that I didn't answer with a sullen face, so he continued: "It's about Lu..."

"Since it's an unfeeling request, you have to think it over before you talk." I interrupted him, "It's a good thing that you are leaving. The weather in Weiyu Mountain is not good, and the appearance of the attendants is not as good as outside. You If you bump into someone you like in the future, I will bring him back during the winter solstice this year, and I will definitely bless him. As for other things, you have to think clearly about what should be mentioned and what should not be mentioned."

My words have been said so clearly that the meaning is self-evident.

Tong Hong raised his head and looked at me tremblingly, then looked at Lu Mingchen, whose face was sinking like water, his face flushed as if he had been suffocated, he hesitated for a while, but still whispered: "Tong Hong thinks Please Star Master agree to let Lu Mingchen leave with me, I hope Star Master can...can..."

The more he spoke, the softer his voice became, and his head lowered lower and lower, until he could hardly hear the sound behind him.

However, Lu Mingchen suddenly continued: "Mingchen is willing to work together with Master Tonghong to help Fei. The Star Lord has been kind to Ming Chen and is also the benefactor of Master Tonghong. This time we two also hope to get your favor." Blessings, so come together. If the Star Lord is willing to condescend to come to the place where we live together in the future, Tonghong and I will definitely toast you and express our hearts."

When he said this, his face seemed to be indifferent, but his eyes were always staring at me, but these eyes are too deep now, even I can't see through the meaning.

He pulled Tong Hong who was still kneeling up, and the two stood hand in hand, as if they really hit it off.

I clenched the armrest tightly, gritted my teeth and endured for a while, before I managed to suppress the surging blood in my heart.

"You go out." I said to Tong Hong.

But he looked at Lu Mingchen, hesitating and not acting immediately.

With a stroke of my hand, Tong Hong's long hair, which almost reached the ground, broke off at his shoulders, and a bloodstain appeared on his neck.

He didn't understand what was going on at first, but when he saw the blood slid down his chest, his whole body suddenly went limp.He broke away from Lu Mingchen's hand, didn't dare to look at me again, and fled out of the hall in a scramble.

"What's the meaning of Star Lord?" The human youth didn't even look at Tonghong, but asked me with a cold expression, "Do you want me to be with other people, or...do you think Ming Chen is worthy?" Lord Tonghong."

I got up from my seat and walked over to him.

There was a kind of indifference on the young man's face, he was not afraid of me who could completely dominate his life and death, and there was a faint love and hatred in his eyes.

The indifferent look on his face only made me feel bad.

I touched his stiff face, "Ming Chen, I know exactly what kind of person Tong Hong is. If he can treat someone sincerely, he won't become a demon. He is not a good choice. You Don't make fun of yourself just to get angry. I'm not letting you get along with other people, but you can't do it with others. Let's not talk about today's matter in the future. You can live here with peace of mind. I will never let you suffer any more. Wronged."

But the young man didn't appreciate my concession at all. He smiled sarcastically, and said lightly: "So, Star Master will personally choose a person who will make you feel at ease, and then give me to him."

I felt the sharpness in his words, but I still avoided the seriousness and said lightly: "It's important to make me feel at ease, but you also need to like it."

"Then I should thank Star Master?" A crack finally appeared on the young man's indifferent mask, and he looked at me with hatred, his eyes filled with the pain of being hurt to the extreme, "Star Master, it's not too ridiculous to say these now Is it? After you got my sincerity, after you said that you would be with me forever, you suddenly fell in love with someone else, and now you need to find a suitable person to place the things you no longer want. grace?"

"Shen Yin," he pronounced my name word by word, "Although Tonghong disgusts me, I can't stand being around you. What do you think of me? A gadget that fills emptiness and loneliness, or A way to pass the time? Have you ever given love and been hurt and just want to see other people suffer for you, toss and turn, and sleep for you? You just want to enjoy being loved, right? ? Then one day I suddenly felt a little bored, so it was time to send me out..."

"Snapped!"

The crisp applause interrupted all the words of the human youth.

I held back my anger and looked at him for a while, only to find that the young man's face was stiff from the beating, but his eyes were gradually turning red.

I can't see myself being so maliciously speculated for him, but when I saw the starlight in the corner of his eyes, I regretted it very much.

"Mingchen? Is it hurting? Let me see." The young man turned his head away, not letting me look at the cheek that was slapped. Only then did I realize that my tone was too worried. He said: "You are too presumptuous. You are still young, and you will go wrong if you think too much about some things. Let's forget it this time. You must know how to reflect on it when you go back."

The young man stared at me blankly, one cheek slowly turned red, and five clear finger marks appeared.

"It turned out to be what I said." He suddenly smiled as if giving up, as if he was talking to himself, "I have encountered so many things before, but I have never felt that I am sad and ridiculous. Now I know that I am So pitiful. It turns out that the most hurtful thing is not a direct insult, but knowing that you are worthless after you seem to be taken seriously."

The young man took two steps back, held on to the pillars in the hall as if they were on the verge of falling, and raised his eyebrows to look at me with a half-smile, "Star Lord, are all the high-ranking people like you, probably because they think us mortals are too small, so if we can't With equal power, even love and hate seem so insignificant."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" At this moment, I just want to comfort the young man, but the words have come to this point, and nothing seems irreversible.I sighed softly from the bottom of my heart, "Ming Chen, don't do this. Even... I don't love you enough, but I still feel sorry for you. Don't..."

"Enough!" Lu Mingchen's eyes were dead silent, his face was gray but he had no more nostalgia, "I know your love, I also know your love, just like the love and love for those cats and dogs on the side of the road. , I don’t want it, and I don’t care about it. Since you don’t trust me to be with other people, then I will leave Weiyu Mountain alone, and from now on... the ends of the earth, I will never see each other again.”

He turned his head and walked out of the hall. In the backlight, I just felt that he was about to disappear in front of me suddenly.

A familiar fear suddenly hit my heart.

It was as if he saw the city that was about to fly into the sky that day.

"Stop!" I raised my voice for the first time, "Lu Mingchen, stop!"

The human youth seemed to have heard nothing, but walked out hesitantly but resolutely.

I reflexively grabbed the young man's wrist, but just when I touched it, I felt a sharp pain from the back of my hand.

I looked at the black blood gushing out of my hand in surprise.

Although the wound was very shallow, I never thought that the Youth League would really hurt me.

Lu Mingchen turned around, the sharp blade in his hand gleamed coldly, reflecting the broken expression between his brows, which was strangely coquettish and stern.

Looking at him like this, I didn't feel angry for my injury, but just a wave of blank pain flooded my heart.

At this moment, I seem to feel that something very important has quietly passed away from me.I seem to have reached out to hold it, and even tasted its fragrance, but in the end it disappeared under the bright sunlight strangely like the morning dew of the morning sun.

The young man turned around again and continued walking forward.

At this moment, I seem to have to grab something hard to suppress the sudden panic.

"Take him down," I used my magic power to send an order to the attendants stationed in the distance, "lock him in the bedroom, and no one is allowed to visit."

I turned around, closed my eyes, and listened to the noise around me quickly returning to silence after the noise.

In the silent hall, I was the only one left standing alone.

Maybe I'm really doing something wrong.

I thought like this, but I didn't know where to untie all the knots.

I stood in the hall for a long time, thinking about what Lu Mingchen said just now, somehow, I felt more and more uneasy.

Originally, he thought that the young man was sensible and knew how to advance and retreat, but now he realized that his true nature was so staunch, as if he would rather break the jade than destroy it.Now that he is locked up like this, I don't know if he will have other thoughts.

When I think of his self-deprecating words just now, I feel so distressed that I can't restrain myself. Maybe I should really talk to him carefully, but now that he is emotional, it seems that it is not a good time.

After thinking about it, I decided to wait for the young man to calm down before going to him.

In this way, one evening after a few days, I came to the bedroom that I hadn't stepped into for half a year.
