The next morning.
When Liu Meng and Xiao Ning arrived at the east gate, Bai Yunfei had been waiting there for nearly an hour.
"Yunfei, I'm sorry, I'm late." Liu Meng quickened his pace slightly, walked up to Bai Yunfei, and said apologetically.
"Haha, it's okay, I just arrived..." Bai Yunfei smiled carelessly, and did not tell her that he had been drinking the cool breeze for dozens of minutes.
"Master Yunfei, you can't blame my young lady." Xiao Ning on the side interjected, "The young lady felt a little uncomfortable when she woke up in the morning. I quickly cooked a medicine for the young lady to drink, and she felt better. Then I rushed right away. coming."
"Oh? Really? Meng'er, how are you now? Do you still feel uncomfortable? Otherwise, we won't go to Qingquan Mountain today, right?" Bai Yunfei's face changed slightly, and he kept saying anxiously. Asked.
Liu Meng didn't seem to expect Bai Yunfei to react like this. He was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "Meng'er is not as fragile as you said. Don't forget, I am also a soul master! Don't worry, It’s okay now, as long as you don’t get sick, there won’t be any problems.”
"Oh, that's good, that's good..." Bai Yunfei seemed to realize that he had lost his composure. Bai Yunfei scratched his head in embarrassment. Then he seemed to think of something and hid his right hand behind his back. When he took it out again, he already had a lot of it. A bunch of candied haws.
"Meng'er, this is the candied haws on a stick that I bought specially for you." Bai Yunfei looked at the slightly surprised Liu Meng opposite and handed the candied haws to him with a smile.
"Yunfei, you, how did you know that I like to eat candied haws?" Liu Meng took it with a smile and asked curiously.
"Well, I saw that many girls on the street liked it, so I bought it for you." Bai Yunfei told a little lie. Of course he didn't dare to tell the other party that when I first met you, He knocked the candied haws out of your hand. Although he bought you another bunch, Zhang Yang knocked it off again...
"Hmph, Mr. Yunfei is so partial. Isn't Xiao Ning a girl? I only buy it for young ladies. Hmph, you have bad intentions!" The maid Xiao Ning's feigned anger came from the side, making Bai Yunfei confused. He was so overwhelmed that his face even turned slightly red.
"Hehe, I was just joking, Master Yunfei, don't be angry!" Seeing Bai Yunfei's embarrassed look, Xiao Ning stuck out his tongue slightly and said playfully.
Bai Yunfei laughed twice, but didn't know how to face this little girl, so he could only say to Liu Meng: "Uh, haha, Meng'er, let's go then..."
"Okay, let's go."
… …
Grass, flowers, green trees, birds, clear springs, breeze...
Bai Yunfei felt for the first time that climbing a mountain peak was such a pleasant thing. Looking back, Bai Yunfei can be considered a 'veteran mountain climber' by now. Starting from Luoshi City, he can't even remember how many peaks he has climbed along the way. However, he has always been on the road. And climbing mountains for the purpose of escaping, have you ever experienced it in detail like today
Or maybe, it was not the scenery on the mountain that made him happy, but the people around him...
Bai Yunfei carried a bowl of clear mountain spring water and walked towards Liu Meng who was waiting under a tree. He handed the bowl over and said, "Meng'er, are you tired? How about we rest here for a while?"
"Haha, are you okay?" Liu Meng took the bowl, took a small sip, and said softly, "You forgot again, I am a soul master, so it doesn't matter if I walk this little way, let's continue walking up, before noon Reach the top of the mountain.”
Bai Yunfei took the bowl she handed back and drank the remaining spring water in one gulp. This action made Liu Meng's face turn red.
"Well, in that case, I have no objection, we..."
"I...I do, I have an opinion!!" A voice mixed with anger and panting came from behind. The two looked back and saw the little maid Xiao Ning with her hands on her waist, bending over and walking towards the two sides step by step. People moved up.
"Miss, young lady, Master Yunfei... you, you are such a bully!" Xiao Ning finally moved in front of the two of them, gasping for air, pouting at the same time, and said dissatisfied, "You are relying on your own The soul master just left me alone. I'm tired, I'm exhausted..."
Bai Yunfei and Liu Meng looked at each other, both feeling a little embarrassed. Bai Yunfei looked at Xiao Ning, who had a dissatisfied look on his face, and rolled his eyes, revealing a smile.
"Meng'er, why don't we compare speed and see who reaches the top of the mountain first?" Bai Yunfei smiled at Liu Meng and suggested.
Liu Meng was stunned for a moment, but immediately reacted. He glanced at Xiao Ning slightly, with a hint of mischief in his eyes, and nodded: "Okay, let's compete, but... you have to let me run first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he actually ran forward before Bai Yunfei could react. The fragrant breeze blew by, and the corners of his skirt were flying. Liu Meng was like a light blue elf, running quickly towards the mountain.
In fact, Bai Yunfei only reacted after being stunned for a moment, but he did not catch up immediately. Instead, he waited for Liu Meng to run a certain distance, then glanced at Xiao Ning, who was still a little dazed, laughed, and ran after him. Go up.
"Hey, hey!! Miss! Master Yunfei!! You, you are so bullying!"
Xiao Ning's angry shouts came from behind, and Liu Meng's sweet laughter floated down from above with the mountain wind. Bai Yunfei laughed and ran to the top of the mountain.
At this moment, he felt relaxed and happy like never before...
… …
At the top of the mountain, Bai Yunfei and Liu Meng sat side by side on the grass, looking at the large grassland and woods below the mountain, neither of them spoke.
The breeze blew by, and a few strands of black hair rose up, hitting Bai Yunfei's face, tickling him. Liu Meng noticed it, smiled at Bai Yunfei, and pushed the raised hair behind his ears with his hands.
"Yunfei, thank you..." It was Liu Meng who was the first to break the silence. He looked at a bird flying by and said softly.
"Huh? Why are you talking about this again? Didn't I say that yesterday..."
"Not just yesterday, but also today." Before Bai Yunfei could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Liu Meng. She shook her head lightly and continued, "Thank you for accompanying me to relax. Usually Xiaoning is alone. Although she is my maid, we are like sisters... However, apart from her, I have almost never made friends with anyone else. In the past, I was too weak to make friends, but later it was because of those who were close to me. People all have bad intentions and don’t want to make friends.”
"You know? Although I am a soul master, I don't live a free life at all..." Liu Meng fiddled with the grass in front of him and said slowly, "In order to get rid of the physical illness as soon as possible, I I spend almost all my time on cultivation, and occasionally go out for fun, just to relax myself when I encounter bottlenecks."
"My father... he is a businessman. In order to develop his business, he will do whatever it takes, even using my life-long event as a means... "
"There is an elder from the Ice Sect in the northeastern part of Qingyun Province, surnamed Liu... My father unexpectedly got some unwarranted 'relative' connections from somewhere and wanted to get support from the Ice Sect in business."
"Then, he fawned over Zhang Zhenshan, another elder of the Ice Sect, and had business dealings with the Zhang family in Luoshi City. This made him particularly excited. In order to make the relationship between the two families closer, he 'betrothed' me to The young master of the Zhang family, Zhang Yang."
"At that time, I was only fourteen years old and had no way to object. My father did not allow me to object. I could only hope to reach the soul realm soon. When the time comes, I would have the strength to refuse..."
"After that, Zhang Yang often came to me. I could see that he was just doing it for his own dirty desires."
"The relationship between my father and the Zhang family is getting closer and closer. The Zhang family is powerful and cannot be offended. In the end, I even had to go to Luoshi City often to visit my 'future' parents-in-law..."
Liu Meng spoke sentence by sentence, with a lot of helplessness and sadness in his voice. When he said this, he changed the subject and continued:
"However, a few days ago, my father received news... A month ago, that Zhang Yang was actually killed!"
---------------
I want to try to write some plain romantic plots, but I am inexperienced and tangled... I will continue to be bloody. Please laugh it off and don't delve into it.
Some book friends may think it is unreasonable, saying that Liu Meng's behavior is unreasonable, and that Bai Yunfei's reaction is unreasonable... I just want to say that the protagonist needs to grow up, because people will always make mistakes, and there will always be times when they do stupid things...
As for the other things, I will add them later. If I can’t explain myself by then, you are welcome to give me some suggestions...
