"Where did Jinglin go?" Ren Yaoqi asked softly.
"The silly girl suddenly ran down just now, Jinglin was afraid that she might cause trouble and chased after her." Xiao Jingxi also whispered.
Ren Yaoqi wanted to ask why he didn't talk to her, but she swallowed the words again.
Ren Yaoqi didn't speak, and Xiao Jingxi didn't speak either, just stood there looking at her. Although the eighth-story tower is brighter because of the windows, it does not make people feel very spacious when standing in the tower because of the bookshelves around it.
Xiao Jingxi station was only half an arm away from her, Ren Yaoqi felt her heartbeat was fast, she turned her eyes away and looked at the surrounding bookshelves: "I didn't look carefully just now, here What books are you hiding?"
Then this opportunity Ren Yaoqi took two steps to the side, making the distance between the two of them farther.
"The eighth floor is full of Buddhist scriptures." Xiao Jingxi whispered, and took out a book from the nearest bookshelf and handed it to Ren Yaoqi to read.
Ren Yaoqi took it, looked down and opened it, only to find that it was full of Brahma. She shook her head and put the book back in its place with a smile: "I don't know Brahman. How many floors below? Are they all Buddhist scriptures too?"
Xiao Jingxi's lips curled slightly: "No, there are all kinds of books, only this layer is Buddhist scriptures."
"Oh."
The two became quiet again. Ren Yaoqi felt that the place seemed a little airtight. Although the two of them could hear echoes when they were talking, it seemed a little noisy, but she subconsciously felt that it was better not to be quiet, so she did not The words looked for words: "What kind of book is the ninth floor?"
Xiao Jingxi did not answer. Ren Yaoqi was about to look up at him when he heard him whisper: "Let's go up and have a look."
Ren Yaoqi thought that instead of waiting here for Xiao Jinglin, it would be better to go upstairs and have a look. She and Xiao Jingxi are in the same room as it is not good to talk, and it is very strange not to talk.
"it is good."
Hearing Ren Yaoqi's answer, Xiao Jingxi took the lead to walk up the stairs. Ren Yaoqi followed behind him and glanced up, only to realize that the ninth floor seemed to be narrower than the eighth floor. The stairs were a lot higher and steeper, and it was difficult to climb up.
While going upstairs, Xiao Jingxi paid attention to Ren Yaoqi and reminded her to be careful. When Ren Yaoqi was on the last stage, Xiao Jingxi suddenly took Ren Yaoqi's hand. Pull her up.
Ren Yaoqi was stunned, feeling the warm touch in the palm of her hand, and a numb feeling spread from the palm of her left hand, making her feel as if she had been scalded by something.
Ren Yaoqi, who had regained his senses, immediately wanted to withdraw his hand, but this time Xiao Jingxi held her hand so tightly that Ren Yaoqi couldn't pull it out at all: "You..."
Xiao Jingxi seemed to have not heard Ren Yaoqi's words. He casually led Ren Yaoqi to the top of the tower on the last floor, then turned back to Ren Yaoqi and smiled softly: "The last floor is locked."
Xiao Jingxi has a unique charm when he smiles. It was irresistible, Ren Yaoqi felt that her hands and feet were a little weak, and even forgot to struggle, she subconsciously glanced at the locked moon door in front of her.
Xiao Jingxi held Ren Yaoqi with one hand, and a key appeared on the palm of the other hand. He inserted the key into the lock hole on the face with one hand, and then stopped.
Ren Yaoqi was a little dizzy: "Can't you open it?"
Xiao Jingxi turned his head and smiled at her again. Then he continued to whisper in a gentle tone, "Will you come and drive?" If Xiao Jinglin were here at this moment, she would definitely accuse Second Young Master Xiao of being coaxing!
Ren Yaoqi thought he couldn't open it. He nodded, and then realized that his left hand was still in Xiao Jingxi's hand, so he whispered in shame, "Let me go first!"
Xiao Jingxi said softly, "You drive with your right hand."
Ren Yaoqi: "..."
Ren Yaoqi felt that Xiao Jingxi must have been possessed by something today, and his face was as thick as a city wall, but Xiao Jingxi was pulling her hard, and she couldn't break free. With a blushing face, he opened the lock with his right hand.
Ren Yaoqi didn't think about it, if the person holding her hand was not Xiao Jingxi, but any other man, she would rather fall down the stairs than be held by others. She has never been a submissive character at the mercy of others.
On the copper key there is still the residual warmth left by Xiao Jingxi's hand. Xiao Jingxi stood where she could hear her breathing and held her hand, looking down at her without blinking, with gentle eyes, For the first time, he revealed his feelings in silence in front of her without concealment, which caught her off guard.
Ren Yaoqi was so flustered that he moved his finger, and with a light "click", the lock was opened. Ren Yaoqi turned his head and glanced at Xiao Jingxi, wondering why Xiao Jingxi couldn't open the lock even though it was easy to open.
Xiao Jingxi reached out and pushed the door open, then led her into the last floor of the Echo Tower.
After entering, Ren Yaoqi was stunned.
Because this floor is the top of the tower, it has a cone shape after entering, and this floor is higher than any floor below. And there are no bookshelves on the ninth floor, and there is nothing inside.
There are some small round holes on the top of the tower. Today, when the weather is fine, the light will pour down from the above through these small round holes, and there will be countless small circles of light in the tower. firefly.
Xiao Jingxi dragged Ren Yaoqi to the room and stood still: "People outside call this place the Star Picking Building, which is actually quite appropriate."
Ren Yaoqi recovered from the shock and looked at the ninth-story tower carefully. She soon found that although there were no bookshelves on this floor, the walls were covered with patterns.
Seeing the curious expression on Ren Yaoqi's face, Xiao Jingxi took her to the wall and asked her to take a closer look. When Ren Yaoqi approached, he realized that the densely packed walls were not patterns, but words.
Each of these characters is only the size of a character in a book, but it covers all the walls, even on the top of the conical tower three or four people high from the ground, but Ren Yaoqi does not know any of these characters. , she only recognized that these were Brahman.
"It's a Buddhist scripture? How was it engraved?" Ren Yaoqi asked in surprise.
Not to mention how much time it takes to engrave so many tiny characters in the tower, the top of the tower is so high off the ground that even using a ladder is very difficult.
Xiao Jingxi touched the words on the wall, turned to look at Ren Yaoqi with a smile, and read it softly, but Ren Yaoqi found that he could not understand a word.
However, Xiao Jingxi's voice is always the same as his people, with an intoxicating attraction, especially now, his voice is gentle and low, and Ren Yaoqi can't help but not understand a word. listen.
Xiao Jingxi held her hand like this, looked at him, and whispered a sentence that Ren Yaoqi couldn't understand. Ren Yaoqi stood there quietly, she did not withdraw her hand from Xiao Jingxi's hand, although Xiao Jingxi's hand was not strong now, as long as she struggled, she could get rid of it.
Although Ren Yaoqi couldn't understand what Xiao Jingxi was talking about, he felt that he vaguely understood what Xiao Jingxi was talking about.
Ren Yaoqi didn't know how long he had been listening to Xiao Jingxi there, one hour or two. Although it was not dark, it seemed like two worlds with the outside world, a world with only Xiao Jingxi and Ren Yaoqi.
After Xiao Jingxi stopped, it took a long time for Ren Yaoqi to come back to his senses. Looking at Xiao Jingxi's gentle smiling eyes, Ren Yaoqi couldn't say a word, but his eyes felt sour for a while.
Xiao Jingxi stood in front of Ren Yaoqi and carefully hugged her in his arms.
Ren Yaoqi's forehead rested on Xiao Jingxi's chest, listening to the "thump thump" sound coming from his chest, she only recalled later that Xiao Jingxi's heartbeat seemed to be a little wrong at this time, although now Second Young Master Xiao did not look nervous or shy at all.
The time when the two remembered that they were going downstairs was when Ren Yaoqi felt hungry. Although she used a lot of snacks on Xiao Jinglin's carriage when she came, she still felt hungry.
She left Xiao Jingxi's arms, lowered her head and said softly, "Go down?"
This time Xiao Jingxi didn't hold Ren Yaoqi any longer, with a happy smile on the corner of his mouth: "Okay."
When the two exited from the top of the ninth-floor tower, Ren Yaoqi wanted to ask Xiao Jingxi where this place was, what was written on the wall, and who left it behind, but Ren Yaoqi still did not ask. .
Xiao Jingxi locked the door again, he looked at Ren Yaoqi, and then handed her the key. Ren Yaoqi took it in a daze, and when Xiao Jingxi said that he intended to give her the key, Xiao Jingxi motioned Ren Yaoqi to go downstairs with her without saying anything.
When they came down from the Echo Tower, neither of them said a word, and it seemed that they didn't need to say anything. Some things had already been made clear today, and no one could pretend to be stupid.
After leaving the Echo Tower, Ren Yaoqi asked, "Where's Jinglin?" She looked at the sky, she and Xiao Jingxi stayed in the tower for at least an hour, but Xiao Jinglin never showed up.
Xiao Jingxi paused for a while, and then said, "Don't blame her, Xiao's family rules, she can't go up."
Ren Yaoqi wanted to ask why Xiao Jinglin couldn't go up, but she was able to go up
But the words came to the lips: "What you just said 'it's just an empty building, the reason why people are not allowed to go in is just because the tower is too high and it will be dangerous to go up.' Where is it?"
Xiao Jingxi: "..."
Ren Yaoqi glared at Xiao Jingxi and went to find Xiao Jinglin.
Xiao Jingxi followed Ren Yaoqi, feeling helpless and secretly happy.
