I walked out of the inn, the moonlight shone on the cold street, but the restaurant opposite was full of people, and the atmosphere was just right. I sat down under the big tree at the door, leaned against the root of the tree, and looked up to see many rooms. The lights are all off.

At this time, a person walked out of the door, and Li Sha stood quietly outside the door. He was not close or far from me, but I couldn't see his face clearly. He seems to be waiting for someone. After a while, a familiar figure appeared, Zheng Xingyue was still wearing the dress she wore during the day, and the veil on her skirt was slightly lifted by the wind.

"You asked someone to invite me out, what's the matter?" Li Sha asked calmly.

"I can't find you if I have nothing to do? And today's matter, you don't plan to explain to me?"

I don't know if it was because the night was too quiet, but their voices sounded very clear. I hid myself in the darkness, and suddenly felt terribly humble.

"What explanation do you want to hear? Didn't you know my relationship with Wen Yi clearly from the beginning?"

I heard someone take a few steps, Zheng Xingyue said emotionally: "I never interfere in your decision, I know you have known her for a long time, and you also said that she is just your sister. I believe you, Even though I think your eyes betrayed yourself, I still choose to believe you, what about you? Have you ever given an explanation for the behavior that normal women seem to be jealous of? "

"Xingyue, we have known each other for many years, I have forgotten your feelings many times in order to make her give up, I am sorry."

I stared at the air in front of me in a daze. At this moment, I finally understood that Lisha has been using his own way to get me back to where I should be. He is not even in love with Xingyue, but his heart that is most clearly presented is only It's just that you don't love me.

Xingyue's crying was a bit harsh, I stared at the tears on the back of my hand, it seemed that the most desperate feeling was nothing more than that.

I wandered the streets like a lonely ghost, carrying the wine I stole from the inn, and drinking it as I walked, feeling a sense of decadence.

Suddenly, my wrist was grabbed, and someone easily snatched the wine jar from my hand. I raised my head, and with a smile in his eyes, he picked up the wine and took a few sips into his mouth.

"Give it back to me." I stretched out a hand towards him, and then I swayed forward, wanting to take it back from his hand.

"Girl, it's not good for you to get drunk on the street alone in the middle of the night?"

"You don't care about me!" I stretched out my hands to grab the wine jar in his hand, but he held it high, even if I jumped up desperately, I couldn't reach it.

I was angry and sad, my whole body was limp and powerless, I just sat down and cried loudly facing the empty street and the stranger in front of me.

"Why are you crying?" He knelt down and looked at me suspiciously.

"Go away, you are blocking my way!" I pushed him indiscriminately, turned my back to him and continued to cry.

I felt that person standing behind me and did not leave. After an unknown amount of time, I was tired from crying, and my voice gradually became quieter. In the blur, I heard the people behind me move their feet and said to me: "Girl, where does your family live? Do you want me to take you back?"

The moment I woke up, those absurd actions last night reappeared before my eyes. After waiting for a long time, I finally opened my extremely sour eyes and saw the strange room in front of me clearly.

Whenever this happens, I really want to slap myself. I always seem to get into trouble because of my uncontrollable emotions. I know that every time I touch alcohol, something will happen, but I don’t have a long memory!

At this time, a figure stopped in front of the door, and the door was gently opened. The man who came in was dressed in a blue robe, exquisitely dressed, and the jade pendant on his waist was very valuable. And his smiling face reminded me suddenly that he was the one who snatched my drink last night!

In any case, he brought me back to my home when I was drunk on the street, and he was considered a kind person. Thinking of this, I thanked him sincerely, then got up and planned to leave.

He looked at me and asked politely: "Do you need to wash your face and have a meal at the house before leaving?"

"No need." I shook my hand and refused. He didn't say anything when he saw this, he just nodded and watched me open the door and go out.

His mansion is very big. I walked on the small bridge in the back garden, the water flowing under the bridge was gurgling, and the flowers around were in full bloom. At this time, I turned my head inadvertently, and saw a familiar figure walking in the aisle, and I was stunned when I saw it. He Yun also saw me at the same time, he just glanced at me lightly, then continued to walk forward indifferently.

Seeing him standing in front of the door I walked out of, and then the people in the room came out, put their hands on his shoulders, and called "Brother He", the two seemed to have a very good relationship.

I came back to my senses, and walked through the garden to the aisle on the other side in desperation. When I walked out of the gate, I looked up, and there were two big characters "Yingfu" engraved on the top.

I don't want to go back to the inn. When this idea strongly appeared in my mind, I made a decision. When this decision was born, I selfishly thought about leaving without saying goodbye, but I knew clearly that I would not do that. Even though Lisha's feelings for me are now very clear, I cannot deny that even though I don't want it, this kind of brother-sister relationship is worth cherishing.

I went back to the inn. I sensed that Lisha had noticed that I hadn't returned at night, but unexpectedly he didn't ask. Without any hesitation, I told him my decision to go back to Fuxin. When I finished speaking, I stared closely at his face. He nodded upon hearing the words, his expression unchanged. I pondered for a moment, looked at him and said: "Go and say goodbye to your old friend."

He said "hmm". I looked at the air in front of me and said softly, "We'll leave when you say it's okay." After speaking, I got up and left.

After deciding to leave, the daytime in Cangdu seemed to become shorter. Seeing the sky darken slightly, I walked to a place by accident.

Two big lanterns hung high on the gate of He Mansion, illuminating the road in front of the gate. I stood in front of the door for a long time as if waiting for something, when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps, I turned around, and He Yun looked at me indifferently.

He seems to have the ability to see through me, but I don't feel afraid in front of him. He is very similar to Lisu, whether it is the guarded look that is often shown, or the fragility that is well hidden.

His expression was icy, which made me wonder if his breathing was also icy. I took a few steps towards him, and pretended to be relaxed and said: "Since I saw you, let's say goodbye to you, I will leave Cangdu tomorrow morning."

He was silent when he heard that, I coughed lightly in embarrassment, and was about to turn around and leave when my wrist was suddenly grabbed.

"You said the same thing to my mother. She said the same thing to me when she left me." He Yun looked at me expressionlessly and said lightly.

I looked at him in surprise, and when he took off his disguise and said such words to me, I was even more convinced that he really wouldn't hurt me, although I didn't know whether he was a good guy or a bad guy.

The night wind blew on us with a slight coolness, and he suddenly let go of my hand as if waking up from a dream. I looked at him speechlessly, then shook my hands and said with a dry smile, "Then I'm leaving."

I turned my back and walked a few steps, and he suddenly said: "Wen Yi, if you encounter difficulties in the future, you can come to me." Will not ask him for help.

On the way to Fuyang, I opened the curtain and looked at Nanyang City not far away. In the dust raised by the wheels, I saw a row of soldiers standing straight on the tall tower.

The journey was twists and turns, and I fell asleep intermittently on the bumpy carriage. When I woke up, the sky was dim and the carriage was still driving. Li Sha frowned and closed his eyes and was still asleep.

His head was bobbing, his hair covering his closed eyes. I leaned forward and brushed his hair away, looked at his frowning brows, sighed softly, and said to myself: "What are you bothering about?"

The sound of his breathing sprayed on the back of my hand slightly, I suddenly felt a little wronged, and asked softly while reading his name: "Why can't you love me like I love you?"

He was still in a deep sleep, I turned sideways and opened the curtain, I saw in the distance, in the faintly bright sky, a tall city tower standing tall.

Turning around, I saw that Li Sha had woken up, and I smiled at him softly and said, "Fuyang City is almost here."
