A round of red crow jumped out of the river, the sky was filled with glow, and the golden light shone brightly on the body. Everything seemed to be extremely sacred. This place should not be the human world, but a palace in the sky.
Xie Queshan had the illusion that it was not that he accidentally glimpsed the beauty of nature, but that the gods staged a drama specifically for him to pierce the darkness.
As the sun rises higher and higher, the light softens and spreads evenly over the mountains and rivers. This expanding illusion finally falls to the ground lightly and smoothly.
The girl was bathed in the sunlight, squinting her crescent-moon eyes and looking at him with a little contentment. In a daze, she seemed to see something crystal clear in his eyes, and her smile slowly froze, a little unbelievable.
"Xie Queshan, you are crying."
Xie Queshan felt that he was about to be scattered and melted by the sun. He suddenly came back to his senses and subconsciously denied it.
"No."
He turned around and wanted to go back to the room.
"Ahhhh——"
Nan Yi suddenly lost his seat and leaned back, waving his hands randomly as if he was about to fall into the river.
"Nanyi!"
Xie Queshan was anxious and quickly turned around to reach out to hold her, but he only heard the clang of the iron chain. His hand could not reach her, and he could only catch her in the air.
His mind went blank for a moment.
As a result, Nan Yi calmly jumped down from the side of the ship, took advantage of the situation and held Xie Queshan's hand, with a sly smile on his face: "I lied to you."
The blood that surged to his head boiled and fell back in his body. Xie Queshan paused in shock. At that moment, he really thought he couldn't catch her.
And just when he was unprepared, she had already approached him and looked seriously into his eyes: "You are just crying."
He immediately denied: "The sun is too dazzling."
How could he cry in front of her. Xie Queshan walked silently into the house.
"You're talking nonsense."
Nan Yi followed him up and down, bending over and sticking her head out to look at him, but he turned his head to prevent her from looking at him.
"——You don't really think I'm going to fall, do you?"
"——I was just kidding you, are you angry?"
"——Why don't you ignore people?"
"——Hey, I just cried. There's nothing wrong with admitting it."
"Did you tell me everything?" He was a little angry, showing a rare loss of control over his emotions.
"Then I'm going to cry."
Xie Queshan:?
Xie Queshan turned around and saw her standing stubbornly and looking at him angrily. She really could cry whenever she wanted. Big tears welled up in her eyes, and they popped out like white pearls one by one.
Why did she bite back?
"Hey...you, don't act."
Nan Yi was a bit pretentious at first, but when he said this, she suddenly felt her true feelings, and all the grievances in her heart came out.
Where did she act? She was clearly worried about him, and he actually said she acted!
It was better now, but these words made Nan Yi cry more and more fiercely. He simply sat down on the ground and started to cry loudly.
The pear-shaped face was wrinkled and angry, as if it was made for him, and he was sobbing forcefully and exaggeratedly, but upon closer inspection, it looked like he was really sad.
Xie Queshan didn't know how to face the crying Nan Yi. He even knew that this might be a little trick on her part, but it was for him, and he still felt very distressed. The girl who always cried in his life before was still his sister Xie Xiaoliu, but that seemed different. When they were children, they always had clear disputes, and Xie Xiaoliu would cry loudly, but now Nan Yi Why are you crying? He was a bit at a loss as he had no experience coaxing girls.
He walked around to her, squatted down beside her, and touched her carefully.
"Stop crying, okay?"
But Nan Yi didn't buy it at all and opened his hand immediately.
"not good."
"why?"
"You don't even talk to me..." She pursed her lips, thinking that Xie Queshan had ignored her at all in the past two days, and she had responded with a hot-faced and cold-hearted song. She suddenly felt extremely aggrieved, so she said a few words, She started crying again, "You heartless person, why did I take you to watch the sunrise...you are still cruel to me..."
"I didn't." Xie Queshan felt that he had died unjustly.
"You have it!"
At this time, no matter what she said, she could never refute her. Xie Queshan was not stubborn and immediately admitted his mistake with an excellent attitude.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault."
"Then you have to talk to me from now on!"
"Okay, I'll talk to you every day."
The goal was achieved!
After receiving such a promise, Nan Yi felt a little happy. This happiness quickly overcame her grievances, and even came to the corner of her mouth, turning into a smile. But she knew not to be too complacent, otherwise it would appear too deliberate, and she quickly tolerated it. down.
But this small change was still caught by Xie Queshan, and he rubbed her face helplessly.
Although Nan Yi was relieved, he knew that his momentum could not be reduced, so how could he reconcile casually, so he immediately pulled off Xie Queshan's hand.
For some reason, Xie Queshan suddenly felt a little boring desire to win, and refused to let go. He held Nan Yi's face and kneaded it vigorously. The face was white and tender, and felt very soft, as if he was kneading dough. Nan Yi joined in when he couldn't beat him, and stretched out his hand as if to retaliate, pinching Xie Queshan's face.
The two people looked at each other's deformed and somewhat funny faces, burst out laughing in unison.
Each other's eyes gradually softened, with a somewhat charming dark wave in their eyes, like a breath of relief for the rest of their lives.
Xie Queshan suddenly put down his hand again. The ambiguity disappeared in an instant and soon returned to normal.
Nan Yi suddenly looked at Xie Queshan seriously, with doubts in his eyes.
"Why don't you... no..."
The first few words were still calm and confident, but then the voice became softer and softer, and the cheeks turned red inexplicably.
Xie Queshan didn't know what kind of trial she would have, so he listened with fear.
"...Don't want to get close to me."
The last few words were whispered like flies, but Xie Queshan heard them clearly.
His face turned red all of a sudden. He didn't expect that the topic would fall into such a blushing place.
He looked up at her in panic. Her face was blue and white with tears, and there was a little blush underneath. Besides shyness, there was also real confusion.
There was never a word of eternal vow between them, but she believed in the instinct of love. Thoughts, language, and demeanor can all be disguised, but instinct cannot. Through every intimacy, she can feel that he loves her too.
But she doesn't know how he can be so cold now. Is he pretending or is it true?
She was ashamed to speak out, but at the moment of her emotional breakdown, her thoughts and confusion became more intense. She just longs for the hugs and kisses of her lover. People are animals, and they must first face their bodies honestly.
Hadn't he ever had this desire?
Doesn't he have any nostalgia for this world, including her? So who are they? Dew mandarin duck?
She knew how difficult it was for him, but she was still a little sad.
Xie Queshan opened his mouth to explain something, but in the end his confused thoughts were still stuck in his throat.
He thought he was the only one enduring the pain, fighting desperately against himself and the outside world. Only then did he realize belatedly how much courage it took for her to be noisy and fearless these days, and how much grievance she was suppressing in her heart.
In fact, she is braver than him.
He leaned forward and kissed her almost reverently.
This is the kiss of Lin Yuanxianyu.
Nan Yi shed tears silently. He didn't say anything, but she understood somewhat.
……
Since then, Xie Queshan has recovered from his sluggish silence. Maybe it was Nan Yi's wavering day after day that infected him, maybe it was because there was no news from Jinling, indicating that things were developing in a good direction. In short, this slight relaxation of attitude made Nan Yi feel hopeful. .
She is a person who will climb up if she grabs a little stick. Now that Xie Queshan has begun to cooperate, she will quickly find a way to escape from this place with him when he looses his grip.
The top priority is to find a way to open the shackles on Xie Queshan's hands.
She had observed it a few days ago. It was a black iron chain, and it kept getting smashed, so she could only work on the lock.
She does have some unspeakable lock-picking skills, and it is easy to open an ordinary small lock, but this is the lock that Zhang Yue put on. If he wants to lock someone up, there is no way for him to escape easily.
The structure of the lock is very complicated. Nan Yi fiddled with the wire for a long time but found nothing.
She even began to think about it, really wanting to force Zhang Yuehui to let him go. If not, she would die in front of him with blood splattered three feet away. But she also knew that Zhang Yuehui's situation was not that easy. , if he could help, he had actually helped her.
Two big living people can still be trapped by a small lock!
Nan Yi became more and more frustrated, and spent the whole day holding Xie Queshan's hand to study the lock, which made it difficult for Xie Queshan to move even an inch.
It was good this time. He wanted to talk to her. As soon as he spoke, she frowned and told him to shut up. She had to listen carefully to the sound of the mechanism inside the lock.
Xie Queshan patiently let her toss him around and sat there honestly, not even daring to take a breath, so he could only take a book and read it.
For a long while, she didn't make a sound at all. She held his hand and kept listening. Xie Queshan was a little confused. He looked sideways cautiously and found that she was sleeping on his lap.
She was still holding a piece of wire in her hand, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her expression was still serious as she slept.
Xie Queshan couldn't help but laugh, and gently raised his hand to stroke her eyebrows.
He looked at her face carefully. When he first saw it, the sallow face gradually became plump and white, like a tree in full bloom, with flowers vying to emerge from the branches. Unknowingly, it turned out to be full of fragrance. . Maybe he gave her the sunshine and rain, but she grew up in her own way.
The vitality is so good.
He wanted to live in this spring.
Gradually, his eyes became lonely again.
At this time, Nan Yi woke up suddenly and looked up blankly. It was already night. Seeing Xie Queshan tilting his head to look at her, she felt a little embarrassed and wiped the corners of her mouth guiltily, but luckily she didn't drool.
"I didn't fall asleep. I just closed my eyes and thought."
Xie Queshan nodded in agreement but did not criticize it.
She pretended to be busy and fanned herself with her hands: "Oh, the weather is getting hotter and muggier, and I can't think straight anymore. I, I'll open a window."
Nan Yi ran to the window, opened it, let the river breeze flow in, and her mind suddenly became clearer.
The anxiety in my heart came back. This lock cannot be opened no matter how hard you try.
This was not a game or a joke, it was about Xie Queshan's life, and she put a lot of pressure on herself.
She suddenly became quiet, and Xie Queshan was a little confused.
Xie Queshan raised his head and looked up. She was lying on the window sill, wearing only a loose spring shirt. The yellowish lantern illuminated the clothes semi-transparently, and her slim limbs were playing with random curves. The wind tugged at the robe, sticking to the skin, looming and hazy.
Food and sex.
Xie Queshan sighed, he didn't even know what kind of saint he was being.
He walked to the window and hugged her from behind.
A warm embrace enveloped him, and Nan Yi looked sideways at him in surprise, feeling that he was a bit abnormal, but felt that he was overthinking it, and suddenly laughed happily.
She wanted to turn around, but he held her stubbornly, placing his chin on her shoulder and his cheek against her black hair.
"do not move."
After a while, Nan Yi was still curious and asked, "What are you looking at?"
"Look at the view."
It was pitch dark outside in the middle of the night.
"Where did the scenery come from?"
"They're all here." He replied in a confused tone.
Jiang Feng and her.
Xie Queshan was in a daze, enjoying the quiet moment with her.
They see the sky, the earth, the sun and the moon, the rivers, seas and mountains, but they are just mayflies. Having a moment of peace belonging to each other makes us feel that life is worth it.
——
Jinling.
In the airtight room, Wanyan Puruo unfolded a piece of paper.
"It has been confirmed: the code name Yan is Xie Queshan."
Wanyan Puruo's lips curved into a winning smile.
The game within the game is changing rapidly, who knows whose game it is?
