C110

These words seemed to pass through time, directly crashing into Qu Ling's mind.

She fell into a trance as she suddenly thought back to the trip to Jiangnan five years ago.

Five years ago, her grandfather took her away from the Miao Boundary. Before returning to the capital, he wanted to bring her back to the old mansion to pay respects to her ancestors.

It was there that she accidentally saved a youth who had been chased into the lake by his enemies.

That young man sitting in front of her, was none other than the man sitting in front of her, Murong Yan.

After that, she and Murong Yan became friends, and the two led the little Jiang Huo along, wandering around the Water Town making trouble.

On the night of the Chinese Festival, they were on their way back from the lantern festival when they met a woman who wanted to jump into a river to live.

The woman was ruined by a fire and dumped by her lover.

In order to dispel the girl's thoughts, she stood on the bridgehead and shamelessly said those words to the woman.

After so many years, she had forgotten about it, but she did not expect Murong Yan to still remember it.

Murong Yan looked at Qu Ling's absent-minded face, the look in his eyes becoming more gentle, the dim yellow candlelight shining on Qu Ling's body and painting a layer of warmth.

Qu Ling looked back at him, at his gentle smile, and felt a strange warmth in his heart.

He gently asked, "Do you still remember what you said after that?"

Qu Ling nodded his head, and muttered: "Of course, I treat him as my treasure, after paying so much for him, if he dares to dislike me because I suddenly become unsightly and unsane, I will beat him until he likes me again, if he does not accept it, a bag of rat poison will poison him to death, nothing can be seen."

At that time, she really didn't know how big the world was.

Murong Yan nodded his head while smiling. Suddenly, he reached into his sleeves, took out a small packet of medicinal powder and handed it in front of Qu Ling.

Qu Ling, "..."

She was only joking. She didn't want to kill people with rat poison.

Murong Yan saw her face turn green and white, and laughed: "This is not a rat's medicine."

Moreover, even if it was a mouse medicine, this little bit of medicine was unable to poison Xiao Jingyue to death.

The Gu Worm that was hibernating in his body was probably much more poisonous than rat medicine.

Hearing that, Qu Ling laughed and asked: What is that?

"Raw hair powder." Wipe the water on your head and your hair will grow faster. "

"…"

"I knew you were here to persuade me to shave."

Murong Yan shook his head and laughed, "I'm just trying my best to help you."

Qu Ling was emotionally moved, "Murong, you're really great."

He nodded. "Well, I know I'm fine, too."

She had said this eight hundred times over the years, even if it wasn't a thousand times.

In the end, Qu Ling still did not decide whether to shave or not.

Murong Yan did not ask further.

If he stayed long enough, the one below would be coming up to chase him away.

As soon as he came out of Qu Ling's room and went downstairs, he saw Xiao Jingyue standing in the hall.

His expression was just as he had expected; it was not looking good.

Murong Yan did not mind and bid his farewell with a normal expression.

As he passed by, Xiao Jingyue suddenly said: "Thank you."

Murong Yan felt it was a new sensation and looked at him deeply.

Xiao Jingyue did not look at him, and started walking towards the stairs.

He wasn't being stingy with his apologies, but before this, there had been no one who could get him to personally thank them.

Murong Yan had previously saved Qu Ling from Rong Xi's hands, so he owed this person a favor.

Since he wasn't willing to accept the favor for the time being, he decided to thank her first.

That night, before Qu Ling went to sleep, he suddenly said to Xiao Jingyue: "In the Chi You Main Hall, you did not finish saying what your grandma said."

Xiao Jingyue raised his eyebrows, "What, madam wants to hear it now?"

If she wanted to hear it, it wasn't impossible for him to say it again.

After all, he could have uttered such shameful words. It was just an oath, so there was nothing he couldn't say.

However, Qu Ling asked: "If you're not finished, then you're not going to make the decision?"

Xiao Jingyue's heart moved as something quickly flashed through his mind. He softly replied, "Countdown."

Then, he didn't hear any more sounds coming out from the room.

The night was peaceful and quiet.

The next day at dusk, Murong Yan came over again.

When General Xiao saw him, his expression turned ugly, and his mood turned even worse.

Xiao San, who was standing not far behind him, looked at Xiao Yi in puzzlement.

Xiao Yi pondered for a moment before whispering, "This young master Murong is most likely Madame's admirer."

It was likely that only the Madam considered Mister Murong as a brother. Anyone with a discerning eye would be able to see through his intentions.

Xiao San furrowed his brows, puzzled in his heart.

From his point of view, his mistress was just a reckless girl. How could this kind of girl be liked by both the General and Young Master Mu Rong?

Murong Yan stayed in Qu Ling's room for two hours.

If not for the Aunt Tao, Xiao Jingyue would have barged in already.

He patiently waited for the door to finally open and saw a bamboo green figure walk out.

Without waiting for him to speak, Murong Yan said: "General Xiao, please come up."

With that, he walked to the end of the corridor and jumped out of the window.

When Xiao Jingyue saw the bundle in his hand, he vaguely understood what it meant.

For a moment, he was both happy and distressed.

He couldn't wait to see her. He didn't even bother to walk down the stairs before jumping into the corridor on the third floor.

Because he was in a rush, he almost bumped into Aunt Tao who was coming out.

The Aunt Tao held a water basin in his hands, and there were still many broken pieces of items floating on it.

With just a glance, he recognized that it was shattered.

Although he couldn't understand why she had suddenly changed her mind, he didn't want to know at the moment. The thought of seeing her hug her at such a close distance was more intense than anything else.

Seeing that, Aunt Tao pursed his lips and smiled, releasing a hand and closed the door.

The room was quiet as he stepped into the inner room. Every time he took a step closer to the bed, Xiao Jingyue's heart would beat even faster.

This time, it was no longer because of the restlessness of the Gu Worm that his heartbeat quickened. It was merely because he was about to see her, about to embrace her.

He walked to the bed with great difficulty and looked at the swelled quilt. For a moment, his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

He sat on the edge of the bed without saying anything. Slowly, he bent down and gently hugged her.

The sense of reality that held her quickly filled his empty heart.

The anxiety and worry he had felt for the past few days had finally disappeared.

He tightly embraced her, and his voice contained an almost imperceptible trembling. "Finally, I've found you."

The person in her embrace seemed to stiffen. A moment later, the girl's muffled voice came from under the blanket, "I've become bald."

Xiao Jingyue acknowledged, "I know."

"I don't look good anymore."

"In my eyes, you look good no matter what."

The woman was silent for a moment, as if she realized that she could not continue like this. She struggled lightly for a moment before letting go of some of the blankets, revealing a pair of black eyes.

When their eyes met, she was so frightened that her whole body trembled. Subconsciously, she wanted to hide herself once again.

However, how could the General Xiao let her do as she wished this time? He suddenly grabbed her hands that were holding the blanket and with a wave of his long arm, he effortlessly lifted the blanket away from her.

She, who had been hiding in the blanket, was now completely exposed to him.
