old friends return

The two lay on the bed and chatted.

"Ayan, will you stay in Anling from now on?" Cheng Muzhi thought over and over, knowing that he shouldn't ask about the future, but he couldn't resist the worry in his heart.

In the final analysis, he still had selfish intentions, and the possessive desire that had been secretly stalking in his heart since a long time ago made his desire to keep the current Liu Qingyan around him even stronger.

I used to think that Ah Yan would inherit his father's official position and become an official in the future, and he himself was interested in government affairs, so he would let him go. It would not be impossible for the two of them to have a "colleague" friendship .

But the situation now is completely different from before.

He didn't know Liu Qingyan's future plans, he was afraid that asking would make him feel uncomfortable, but if he didn't ask, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to keep Liu Qingyan.

If one day, he gets tired of his appearance and his life in Anling, what will Ah Yan choose?

Cheng Muzhi, who hadn't heard the answer, shook Liu Qingyan's arm, "Ayan, did you hear what I said?"

Why do you look so dazed...

Liu Qingyan was dragged back to his thoughts by him, nodded and said back to him: "It's natural, otherwise where else would I go?"

The first half of the sentence made Cheng Muzhi happy, but the second half of the sentence made him feel distressed. Cheng Muzhi looked at Liu Qingyan's frowning, and said again: "Ah Yan, when we are old, I will take it with me. You go to play together, and visit all the mountains and rivers of this great week!"

Liu Qingyan glanced at him and joked, "It will take a long time, and it will cost a lot of money."

Cheng Muzhi hugged his upper body like a rascal, and rubbed his head against his neck, "We have plenty of time. As for money, I'll start saving now. If it's not enough, I'll take it from the treasury in advance, anyway. , none of this is a big deal..."

"In spring, I will take you to the south of the Yangtze River to see the willows sprouting new buds and peach blossoms all over the branches. Then we can find a boat, live on the lake for two days, eat fresh river fish, and follow the girls from the south during the Qingming Festival. Pick mugwort together to make green balls."

"Okay." Liu Qingyan responded to him with a smile, "At that time, it will be like the painting on the lantern. You will be in charge of fishing, and I will be in charge of making soup."

"When summer is about to enter, let's go to Jianye together to eat the longxu crisps there, and then go all the way north to Xi'an to see the ancient city walls of the previous dynasty, and then go to Luoyang, but at that time in Luoyang, peonies should be Thanks……"

"Okay." Liu Qingyan still smiled back at him, "It's the same whether you can see Peony or not. If you can't see it this year, you can still see it next year. Anyway, there will be a lot of time."

"It's almost autumn after such a stroll. In autumn, we will go back to Shengjing, to Anling's place. The back mountain is Anling's own vegetable field and orchard. Let's pick some favorite food and take them back quietly, so that Gao Xuan and Lin Anyou know, will they think that they have been thieves?"

"Okay." Liu Qingyan smiled and shook his head, "How could Gao Xuan and Lin Anyou be so stupid? But they were old at that time... maybe they really think so."

"Let's prepare winter clothes to keep out the cold, continue northward, go to Moshang, and watch the heavy snow over there. At night, wrapped in a cloak and hugging Mrs. Tang, we stand on the porch and watch the snow all over the sky together. If the mood comes, we can welcome Tasting wine in the snow, writing two poems."

"Okay," Liu Qingyan lay down with him, "This is really a very elegant thing."

"In the spring of the coming year, let's go to Dali again, and then go to see the Five Sacred Mountains..." Cheng Muzhi's voice gradually became inaudible, and was replaced by long breathing.

Liu Qingyan also closed her eyes, and the tears that had accumulated for a long time flowed down the corners of her eyes. Looking at Cheng Muzhi's peaceful sleepy eyes, Liu Qingyan's tears became more intense.It would be great if this is really possible... Not to mention traveling all over the mountains and rivers of Dazhou, even if I am with you in a small thatched hut on the outskirts of Shengjing, I am willing to eat porridge, side dishes, and simple meals every day.

Just not the same again.

Mu Zhi, I know how you feel about me, but after all, there is no chance to do these things with you...

The fortune teller was right.Liu Qingyan laughed at herself, like thin ice?Is he hard-hearted or weak-hearted?

But so what?No one wanted to do things that hurt others or himself, but he had to.

Liu Qingyan stared at the flower curtain hanging on the top of the bed for an hour, and even counted the colors on it.

Listening to Cheng Muzhi's long breathing, Liu Qingyan finally let out a sigh of relief after he was sure that he was completely asleep.

Gently removing Cheng Muzhi's arm from his waist, Liu Qingyan crept up from the bed, stepped across Mu Zhi's lying body, and got out of the bed.

Putting the letter she had prepared a long time ago on the table, pressing it down with a teacup, then putting on her own clothes, and taking some soft things that she packed up earlier, Liu Qingyan slowly opened the door and backed out.

He never even looked at Cheng Mu again.

There was no one waiting outside the door.He and Cheng Muzhi came back late, and yesterday was the Qixi Festival, so they were asked to go back to rest early on the pretext of resting for a night.

Liu Qingyan walked towards the back door.

Sure enough, he saw the half-blind fortune-teller waiting for him in front of him.Seeing him coming, the fortune teller said to him: "I know that this is your destiny, and you can't do without me after all. Come with me."

Liu Qing said nothing, and walked behind him.

After a long time, he said: "I only follow you for one year." The fortune teller shook his head, "No, no, I finally met you. If you only follow me for one year, how can I teach you everything?"

"I still need to save some time for myself." Liu Qingyan added after seeing this. "That's natural, but if you change your mind one day, I'm still willing to accept you as an apprentice."

"I thought sir knew why I came."

The fortune-teller sneered, "To change that kid's life, isn't it? But that kid's life is so hard, his fate is hard to change, and there will be no less calamity."

"But how do you know if you don't try?"

The fortune teller took a deep look at him and asked him, "Have you thought about it later?"

"No." I dare not think about it.

"Then you want to know what you and him will be like in the future?"

"I don't want to." So what if I know.

"It's really boring..."

The figures of the two gradually disappeared into the night.

Cheng Muzhi slept very well that night.Perhaps it was because I asked Liu Qingyan about her plans for the future last night, and a heart that had been hanging before was finally let go.When gossiping, Liu Qingyan responded to him everywhere, making him wish that the days would pass quickly and that time would arrive sooner.

Before opening his eyes, he reached out and touched his side.I thought I would touch Liu Qingyan's warm body, but what I touched was an empty bed and cold hands.

Startled, she quickly got up and went to find Liu Qingyan.

Could it be that he got up early to make breakfast for him?Or go to the front to find Mr. Hua?Or did you go to see Dark Ling training?

Putting on the clothes in a hurry, Cheng Muzhi opened the door, "Ah Yan?"
