It was a hundred years ago, after Yin Wushu kicked him out...
It was rare for snow to fall again in those few days, the sky was gray and the ground was cold and white. He spent nine days and nine nights outside Yin Wu Academy, but he had no memory of that rare heavy snowfall, the only thing he remembered was the cold.
It was freezing cold, bone-chilling cold.
The few times he met Yin Wushu these few times, maybe it was because of the presence of other people, or maybe it was because of the stubbornness in his bones, Xie Bai didn't want to mention a word about that year.
But this time he couldn't help it, and turned back to Yin Wushu and said, "When I was outside the courtyard, my complexion was even worse. You didn't even think about opening the door to take a look, so why bother now?"
Chapter 13
The door of Xianyue Restaurant was slapped open with a bang, and a tall woman yawned while pulling her curly hair with her hands, "May I let you get a good night's sleep? What's the matter..." She dragged Long tone, when he said this, his eyes didn't open, forming two curved and long lines, his thin eyelashes were stained with tears from yawning, and he swayed half-dream and half-awake while leaning on the door frame.
Xie Bai didn't look at Yin Wushu again, turned around and said to Lou Xianyue, "Bu Suan."
"Oh, let's talk first." Lou Xianyue still didn't open his eyes, and said in a daze, "How many people count?"
Xie Bai turned his back to Yin Wushu, his eyes drooped slightly, and his expression was indifferent, "I'm alone." Then he lifted his foot and entered the door.
Lou Xianyue raised half of his eyelids, and probably didn't even see who was at the door, so he habitually said: "Whoever counts is who, and the rest wait outside." Then he said "bang—" He slammed the door and looked very angry when he got up.
Xie Bai faltered when he heard the sound of the door closing, and continued to walk forward with a blank expression on his face, following Lou Xianyue up to the top floor with strides.
The Yueyue restaurant is not big in scale and its structure is simple. The lobby on the first floor and the private rooms on the second floor are enough to handle the visitors nearby. The third floor is where Lou Xianyue lives, and outsiders are not allowed to enter. And above that, there is a small attic, which is usually locked, and only when people come to ask for fortune, Lou Xianyue will lead people up.
The layout of this small attic is exactly the same as the hut in the wine shop back then. The four walls are covered with weird things, broken bones, pepper strings, and all kinds of swords. In the middle of the room is a mahogany table and two mahogany chairs.
The starling followed the two into the attic recklessly, scratched half of his hair, and stopped crookedly on the bird stand.
Xie Bai sat down opposite Lou Xianyue and called out, "Aunt Lou."
Starling was full of horror: "What the hell?"
"Which call me auntie?!" Lou Xianyue was called so, and she slapped the table with a "boom", and finally woke up completely, and opened her bewildered eyes.
"Xiaobai?" It was only then that she saw clearly who was leading up, "You... I haven't seen you for a long time, and I almost didn't recognize you."
Xie Bai: "..." You just didn't wake up.
If someone else called her Auntie, Lou Xianyue would have been holding a knife in her hand long ago, but Xie Bai couldn't do anything to call her that. After all, Xie Bai was also considered to be the one who grew up with her, so calling her "Sister Lou" like a starling would be inferior. It's time, it's time for Yin Wushu to fight.
Speaking of Yin Wushu...
"Wait, I seemed to see someone next to you just now?" Lou Xianyue couldn't help but look back at the window.
Xie Bai: "Yes."
The corner of Lou Xianyue's mouth twitched: "I... think about it for a while, why do you think that voice is... Yin Wushu? Is there something wrong with my ears?"
Xie Bai said lightly, "Well, it's him."
Lou Xianyue: "..."
In Xie Bai's cognition for so many years, everyone is a little afraid of Yin Wushu. There is no reason. Just not coming out.
Seeing Lou Xianyue slamming his forehead on the table with a "boom", he said helplessly, "Did I slam the door very loudly just now..."
Xie Bai: "A little bit."
Lou Xianyue: "The one I shut out is..."
Xie Bai: "Yin has no books."
He has seen how much Lou Xianyue loves to act since he was a child, and his whole body is full of drama. He saw her suddenly raised her head, tears streaming down her face, and said, "What should I do if my restaurant won't open until today?"
Xie Bai looked at her expressionlessly: "..."
"Eh? That's not right—" She sat up straight as if remembering something, leaned on the back of the chair and hugged her arms, she stopped her tears as soon as she said she wanted to, and changed her face in a second: "It's not like you haven't returned to Guyang Street for more than a hundred years , Have you already cut off contact with him?"
Xie Bai gave a "hmm" and said, "We just met today."
Lou Xianyue sighed: "Where is such a big hatred... How have you been for so many years?"
