"Lu Hu, a calligraphy student at Xia Yuelu Academy, met Mr. Xiang Bo."

"Chen Huanxian, a freshman at Xiayuelu Academy, met Mr. Xiangbo."

Chen Baiqi and Lu Hu stepped forward side by side, bowed their hands respectfully and said in unison.

Mr. Xiangbo didn't pay attention to the two dark melon seeds with low heads that they brought to him. Instead, he picked a hibiscus flower that had just bloomed with delicate pearls and pinched it on his fingertips. He admired it and said lightly: "Just now, if you go there again,

Take one more step forward..."

He stopped talking, his voice lingering, but the remaining words he didn't say were somewhat meaningful.

Lu Hu was shocked and felt guilty. He lowered his head a little lower and quickly said, "It's the student who disturbed Mr. Sir's meditation. The student will leave now, and leave now."

...He was sure that he heard a strong sense of malice.

Compared to Lu Hu and Chen Baiqi who were trembling because they thought they had offended Mr. Xiang Bo, she was much calmer. She maintained her original saluting posture and said calmly: "I dare to ask what Mr. Xiang Bo will do if the students just take one more step forward."

?”

Based on Chen Baiqi's understanding of Mr. Xiangbo, he was not an aggressive person. She didn't believe that he would really embarrass them both in public if she broke the conversation.

Lu Hu raised his thick eyebrows and suddenly looked up at Chen Baiqi. Only four big words came out in his eyes - Are you crazy?

But Chen Baiqi ignored his gaze, lowered his shoulders, raised his face, and looked at Mr. Xiang Bo quietly but complicatedly.

Would he... have talked like this in the past?

In Chen Baiqi's eyes, Mr. Xiang Bo in the past was like an outsider who was obsessed with the mountains and rivers. He had a temperament, would be willful, and would occasionally moan for no reason, but he was real. But now he stands in front of her...

I don't know when I have acquired the unique characteristics of politicians, neither black nor white. When I get close, I lose my easy-going and approachable nature, which makes people feel scared and jealous.

Mr. Xiang Bo's extremely pale eyebrows then shifted his gaze from Fusang, who was burning like fireworks, to Chen Baiqi.

But Chen Baiqi, who had been looking at Mr. Xiangbo, avoided his gaze at this time, keeping calm, but also deliberately, not to make eye contact with him.

Mr. Xiangbo's eyes were focused for a moment, staring at the young man's soft and handsome profile. The evil words that he was about to say suddenly stopped and turned around. He covered his mouth and coughed a few times, but failed.

Xu Shi showed a heart-wrenching apologetic smile like a white camellia: "In this way, maybe I can notice you earlier and won't ignore you for so long."

This smile is similar to the way he used to take advantage of his illness to look innocent.

Lu Hu's eyes widened and it took him a long time to realize what he meant. He was flattered and couldn't help himself. His dark face turned red from suppressing it. After a while, he stammered: "No.

...I don’t dare, it’s obvious that the students mistakenly entered Mr. Xiangbo’s...” place.

"Landscape." Chen Baiqi quickly took over Lu Hu's words, and she said angrily: "The students trespassed into the scenery in Mr.'s eyes without permission, which made the scenery in Mr.'s eyes look different. I hope that Mr. Xi can understand the superfluous remarks of the predecessors."

Lu Hu: "..." Why does this sound like a glib way of getting away from guilt!

Perhaps few people would obsessively dislike a person who makes plain words sound pleasant to the ear, so Mr. Xiangbo really cannot arouse a feeling of disgust towards Chen Baiqi, who looks like an innocent rabbit.

As for Lu Hu...oh, who is he?

"You said...your name is Chen Huanxian?" Mr. Xiangbo's clear eyes were focused on his face that became more and more familiar with him, and he opened his lips and asked.

This face...where have you seen it?

Chen Baiqi felt that Mr. Xiangbo's eyes were like a steel drill, like a thorn in the back. She pretended to be nonchalant and asked interestingly: "The name of the student's lameness has probably been heard all over the climbing platform. I wonder if Mr. has ever heard of it?"

Pass?"

Her rhombus eyes held a lake of clear blue water, and when a pair of gentle hands gently rippled it, the water shone with color.

Mr. Xiangbo's eyes were filled with emotion, and another pair of eyes suddenly appeared in his mind.

He frowned slightly, lowered his long, slender eyelashes, remained silent, and felt quite a headache at the same time.

I don't know why, but I've been thinking about a deceased person a lot lately.

Thinking of this, Mr. Xiangbo suddenly had an idea and finally remembered why he felt that the face of "Chen Huanxian" was so familiar.

It's the sister-in-law from yesterday...

Mr. Xiangbo carefully identified the differences between the two people, and at first glance, they were quite similar.

Could it be that the brother the sister-in-law claims to be...is this Chen Huanxian?

Seeing that Mr. Xiangbo had been staring at Chen Baiqi for a long time without saying a word, Lu Hu felt a thump in her heart and suddenly felt nervous and at a loss. Even Chen Baiqi couldn't help but smile hard, thinking that he had said something unknowingly.

If anyone doubts it.

It was sunny and snowy, with a bit of piercing pain. Mr. Xiangbo couldn't feel it after standing for a long time. He suddenly felt dizzy. He took a step forward, but unexpectedly his whole body shook. He looked like he was about to fall to the ground.

Lu Hu froze, but did not dare to move a step, but Chen Baiqi quickly left the place. When he blinked again, she had stepped forward to hold Mr. Xiangbo's arm, and used her other hand to

Caught the hibiscus flower that fell.

"gentlemen!"

Mr. Xiangbo came back to his senses. He did not fall to the cold ground unexpectedly. Instead, he felt a piece of skin on his arm was hot. There was a kind of warmth that did not belong to him and was very unfamiliar to him. When he raised his eyes, he saw a pair of

He was patient and restrained, but still showed concern in his eyes.

"Are you OK?"

Unlike Xiangbo, Chen Baiqi felt that the body under her palm was like a piece of ice that could not hold any heat, and the coldness seeped into her body through the thick fabric.

"Sir, are you okay?"

At this time, Lu Hu finally reacted and hurriedly came over to help.

But Mr. Xiang Bo was silent for a moment. He brushed away Lu Hu's outstretched hand with a clever move, but he covered the back of Chen Baiqi's warm hand with one hand. He felt that the person under his hand froze. For some reason, his twinkling eyes slightly curved, and his lips

The bright color gradually faded and turned into purple-white: "I guess it won't work..."

Although I was joking, I still went out to enjoy the flowers alone in this thin and cold weather. It seemed that I was really "sick".

Chen Baiqi was angry and funny. She struggled to free her hand, but unexpectedly failed to break free from the weak Mr. Xiangbo's hand.

She looked at him, and saw that his face was pale and haggard, and no matter how good-looking his face was, he seemed to have been eroded by time and looked like a dying man.

After only one year, he still looked like he was terminally ill. Could it be that he really wouldn't live to be twenty-five? Chen Baiqi was in a daze.

"How old is sir?"

The gentle smile at the corner of Mr. Xiangbo's mouth faltered, and he looked back at Chen Baiqi deeply.

"Huan Xian, don't be rude."

At this time, Lu Hu reacted and shouted loudly.

When Lu Hu shouted in surprise, Chen Baiqi realized that she had unknowingly asked what was in her heart.

Chen Baiqi immediately lowered his eyes apologetically.

"Sir, I'm sorry, Huanxian is just..."

Just what...

Maybe she could say a lot of nice things to get rid of this matter, but she was a little speechless, especially under Mr. Xiangbo's clear eyes that seemed to see through everything.

Mr. Xiangbo looked at her with unclear meaning for a long time, then said: "It's okay."

Chen Baiqi handed the hibiscus flower in his hand back to Mr. Xiangbo.

Mr. Xiangbo stared at the flower for a while, then curved his lips and said with a smile: "I'll give it to you."

give her?

Chen Baiqi twitched the corner of his mouth. He was of the same sex and gave her a flower. What did this mean?

Chen Baiqi pinched the flower branch, always feeling like she was holding an unstable factor. At this time, she heard the system ding.

System: Mr. Xiang Bo has a favorable impression of you of 5.

"gentlemen."

At this time, a cold, low voice like a transparent ice cube came from behind, accompanied by the sound of footsteps.

But it was Qin Huang who was wearing a long cloak and came with a team of guards. Chen Baiqi was sensitive to Qin Huang, so he immediately pulled Mr. Xiang Bo away, quickly stepped back a few steps to stand with Lu Hu, and lowered his head.

But Mr. Xiang Bo let go of his hand this time, but looked at Chen Baiqi with a slightly changed look.

Perhaps Qin Huang's aura was too handsome and domineering, or his expression was too severe and sharp. Lu Hu felt quite pressured. He didn't know who Qin Huang was, but he knew that he must be one of the distinguished guests invited by the mountain chief.

people.

He had been told by his teacher not to contact the mountain leader's "distinguished guests" in private. He only had to be polite and courteous when meeting him, and he must not have any intention of spying.

Lu Hu saluted Qin Huang, stopped staying, and took Chen Baiqi to say goodbye. However, Qin Huang didn't pay attention to little people like them at all, and let them go without even giving them a look.

Chen Baiqi held the hibiscus flower in his hand. After walking away for a few steps, he looked back unexpectedly. Unexpectedly, Ying Ming also turned back at this time. Chen Baiqi was startled, but his face was calm. She lowered her eyes.

He turned his head and left quickly with Lu Hu.

Ying Ming always watched Chen Baiqi leave, then he turned to Mr. Xiang Bo and said: "Sir, you just caught the cold and haven't recovered yet, so you can't be so willful."

Mr. Xiangbo smiled warmly, like a light that was about to fade away, dim and dim.

"My lord, is there anything to gain from getting together with Mr. Mengchang?" He covered his lips and coughed twice, and someone immediately brought suede gloves and a hand warmer behind him.

Ying Ming said: "A cunning fox."

Mr. Xiangbo stopped smiling, but the slight curve of the corner of his mouth was particularly visible. He sighed: "But my lord is a wolf. How can a wolf not be defeated by a fox?"

Ying Ming glanced at the hibiscus flower sprouting on the side. He flicked his fingertips casually, and the petals trembled wildly. In an instant, everything disappeared: "But the fox is too slippery, but it is difficult to catch it."

Mr. Xiangbo raised his neck and looked at the red petals blown up by the wind and flying in the sky, and said: "The fox will eventually die from being pinched by the mouth, don't worry."

"It's true that there's no rush. Sir, it's better to take good care of your health. I'll still have to rely on you for important matters in the future." Ying Ming said in a deep voice.

Mr. Xiangbo turned his gaze and said, "Why bother? I won't survive twenty-five after all--"

When he said this, he suddenly remembered what Chen Baiqi had just asked him, so he stopped abruptly in the middle of his words.

"How old is sir?" Just now... that's what the young man named Chen Huanxian asked him.
