Volume 1 First Encounter with Emotions Chapter 27 Past and Present
In the attic, Li Yanxiao was sitting at the tea table, holding an ancient book in his hand and reading it carefully.
At this moment, he seemed to be integrated with everything around him, quiet and ancient...
Time passed quietly, and an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Li Yanxiao, who had been looking at the book, slowly raised his eyebrows and looked in the direction of the second floor, with a look of confusion in his deep eyes.
It's been an hour since Mu Mengzi went up here, and she just took a bath, so why hasn't she come down yet!?
Li Yanxiao was worried, after all, no ordinary person could take a shower for an hour.
Putting down the book, he got up and went upstairs to see how Mu Mengzi was doing.
…………
At this time, Mu Mengzi fell into a deep sleep. She had no idea that she had been soaking for an hour. Instead, she slept extremely comfortably, as if she had never slept so deeply.
But because of the long bath, Mu Mengzi's skin has become a little swollen, and she looks a little rich and cute.
Outside the door, footsteps approached. Naturally, it was Li Yanxiao who came to investigate the situation.
He came to the door and knocked, and a calm voice sounded: "Miss Mu!? Miss Mu?"
After calling several times in succession but still receiving no response, Li Yanxiao realized that something was probably wrong.
He hesitated for a moment, then took out the key and was about to open the door, but the door was not locked.
Li Yanxiao couldn't help but shook his head: This little girl has such a big heart!
When he opened the door and saw the steam inside, he frowned slightly and subconsciously walked in quickly.
After bypassing the blocking screen, Li Yanxiao saw Mu Mengzi submerged in the water.
You won’t know if you don’t look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it.
This Mu Mengzi actually——she fell asleep!?
Li Yanxiao's unconsciously frowning brows slowly relaxed.
Looking at the sleeping Mu Mengzi, Li Yanxiao smiled unconsciously, and at the same time noticed Mu Mengzi's graceful figure.
There was a slight blush on his cheeks, not just due to the high temperature in the room or some other reason.
Li Yanxiao paused for a moment, immediately looked away, and took two steps to the window next to Mu Mengzi and opened it.
The cool evening breeze blew in.
The evening breeze of autumn already carried a bit of winter's chill, and it warmed away the stuffy heat in the room.
The reddish color on Li Yanxiao's cheeks was also taken away by the evening breeze.
After taking a few breaths, Li Yanxiao looked back at Mu Mengzi, who was still sleeping, and sighed helplessly.
He came to the jade carving bathtub, lifted up his sleeves and fished Mu Mengzi out of the water, then carried the naked Mu Mengzi out, and walked directly to the third floor.
There is only one room on the third floor, and this room is Li Yanxiao's residence.
After Li Yanxiao wiped the water off Mu Mengzi's body with a towel, he dried her long hair.
After some operations, Li Yanxiao actually had a slight sweat on his forehead, and his cheeks turned reddish, as if he had drunk alcohol.
Moreover, after Mu Mengzi, who does not wear glasses, lifts her long hair to expose her forehead and cheeks, she has a natural charm of hibiscus coming out of clear water, without any ornaments.
Her beauty is ethereal and unreal, as if she is a fairy from the sky who has fallen into the mortal world.
Under great torture, Li Yanxiao finally recovered for Mu Mengzi.
He stood up and wiped the sweat from his forehead, then quietly left his room.
Li Yanxiao let out a long sigh of relief after closing the door.
Even though he was aloof, he could hardly control himself when he saw Mu Mengzi's appearance and figure.
It took him a long time to recover, and finally Li Yanxiao returned to the living room on the first floor and continued reading.
As for Mu Mengzi, she was sitting on Li Yanxiao's bed as obediently as a cat. She hugged the soft quilt with her two lotus arms and buried her head on the edge of the pillow, as if she was shy and wanted to hide her cheek under the pillow.
She slept extremely deeply and peacefully.
…………
At this time, he was on the top floor of the hotel arranged by Li Yanxiao for Li Linxi.
Li Linxi stayed by Xu Yuyu's bed, with complex and self-blame in her eyes.
If Li Yanxiao hadn't arrived in time in the end, I'm afraid both Yu'er and Mu Mengzi would have been destroyed in the hands of Hu Zhe today.
Thinking of Li Linxi, the fox philosopher, her eyes darkened and her veins popped out.
Xiao Haozi on the side looked at Li Linxi's changes with heartache in his eyes.
He stretched out his hand to put it on his shoulder, but in the end it didn't fall. Instead, he bit his lip and sighed silently.
Li Linxi has always been like this tonight, and she doesn't know how many times she has blamed herself like this.
Xiao Haozi couldn't stand it anymore, so he walked out and leaned on the door frame.
His eyes were dull, and the heartache in his eyes could not be concealed. He thought: If he were at his peak, Hu Zhe's strength would be completely incomprehensible to him. Then Li Linxi wouldn't be like this.
But in the past thousand years, he had spent too much cultivation for Li Linxi.
Looking at this powerless body, Xiao Haozi's eyes showed complexity and helplessness, and finally he could only think of inferiority complex.
At this time, Xu Yuyu in the room suddenly turned around and opened his eyes in a daze after a while.
She looked at the unfamiliar environment around her, with some confusion in her sleepy eyes.
Suddenly her beautiful eyes regained their clarity, and she suddenly woke up and sat up.
Li Linxi was still distracted. He was startled when he saw Xu Yuyu suddenly sitting up.
But when Xu Yuyu woke up, a smile appeared on his self-reproaching cheek: "Yu..."
Li Linxi hasn't finished speaking yet.
"ah!"
A piercing scream sounded.
Never underestimate a girl's high pitched voice, it's easy to break a glass.
Li Linxi quickly covered her ears, feeling confused for a while.
Xu Yuyu's screams subsided, and he grabbed the quilt with both hands, his beautiful eyes filled with mist.
Seeing Yu'er's restraint, Li Linxi couldn't help but want to step forward and ask her what was wrong.
But as soon as he walked over, Xu Yuyu, like a frightened bird, randomly picked up the thick book flying on the table next to him and threw it at Li Linxi.
Li Linxi did not dodge and let the book thrown by Xu Yuyu hit her.
He is blaming himself, blaming himself for not being able to protect Yu'er, blaming himself for being unable to face his own situation.
The pain in my body is nothing compared to the pain in my heart.
As for Xiao Haozi who was hiding outside, he had a look of dissatisfaction in his eyes when he saw Xu Yuyu hitting Li Linxi with something.
At this time, Xu Yuyu huddled in the corner of the bed, buried her head and cried loudly.
Li Linxi stood there as if frozen.
Hearing her cry, he felt like his heart was going to break.
Half an hour passed like this, and Xu Yuyu could no longer cry anymore.
She stared at Li Linxi, who was blaming herself not far away, with a pair of red eyes, a look of confusion in her eyes.
Li Linxi noticed her gaze, and tried to be as gentle as possible in his eyes. He tentatively said: "Yu'er..."
As soon as Li Linxi opened his mouth, Xu Yuyu was like a frightened bird, covering his ears with both hands and shouting hysterically: "Ah!"
Li Linxi's body felt as if it had been hit by a cannonball, her body was shaking violently and her face was pale.
He bit his lip and lowered his head again, without irritating Xu Yuyu.
Xiao Haozi just looked at everything there, frowned and turned around to leave. Besides, Xu Yuyu knew him, so he couldn't show up now.
Li Linxi was silent in the room, and Xu Yuyu sobbed in confusion.
Nearly half an hour passed.
Xu Yuyu's mood has also stabilized a lot. She stared confusedly at Li Linxi who was not far away with her head lowered: "You, are you..."
When Li Linxi heard Xu Yuyu's voice, half of the big stone hanging in her heart fell.
He waved his hands in panic: "No! No! Don't worry, you are still perfect!"
As she said this, Li Linxi accidentally saw Xu Yuyu's quilt slipping a little, and a touch of spring appeared, and his cheeks turned red.
Xu Yuyu noticed the change in his expression, and quickly lowered her head and looked at her chest, her face couldn't help but have a hint of red.
He lifted the quilt with both hands to cover the spring beauty on his chest. At the same time, he made sure that there was nothing weird about his body, and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Yuyu hugged the quilt tightly, and her voice was a bit weird: "Why, why am I here?"
It was naturally impossible for Li Linxi to tell her that Hu Zhe was a demon, so she made an excuse: "I, I saw you walking on the road unconscious, and I was afraid that something would happen to you, so I brought you here...
…”
Xu Yuyu frowned: "Unconscious!?"
She recalled it, and the last memory she had was when Hu Zhe asked her to go out for dinner.
What happened after that, she didn't know.
But Xu Yuyu felt that this was still too fake, so she asked, "Where is Hu Zhe?"
Li Linxi's eyes darkened when he heard the word "Hu Zhe". He frowned and looked at Xu Yuyu: "Yu'er, that Hu Zhe is not a good person, stay away from him!"
Xu Yuyu was dissatisfied when he heard him call her so affectionately, and he also belittled Hu Zhe.
Xu Yuyu shouted in a cold voice: "Isn't he a good person? Then are you a good person!!?"
Li Linxi was a little confused by the yelling.
Seeing Li Linxi's confused and doubtful eyes, Xu Yuyu was furious: "Don't look at me like that! You brought me back and treated me like this?"
Only then did Li Linxi realize that Yu'er was referring to her clothes.
But there was nothing Li Linxi could do! Her clothes were destroyed by Hu Zhe.
If it weren't for Xiaohao's help, Li Linxi wouldn't even know how to get Xu Yuyu back.
After getting it back, Li Linxi stayed by Xu Yuyu's side and didn't even think about changing her clothes.
Li Linxi wanted to say that he didn't do all this, but he didn't say that, even if he told her that Hu Zhe did it, she wouldn't believe it.
Moreover, Hu Zhe is a demon, and if Yu'er knew about the existence of demons, it would be completely harmful to her.
Li Linxi looked at her with a wry smile, wanting to clarify for herself: "I'm not that kind of person..."
Xu Yuyu glared at him angrily: "Are you not clear in your heart!?"
The corners of Li Linxi's mouth kept twitching. He felt that he was really being wronged!
He looked at Xu Yuyu with a sharp look on his face, hesitated to speak, and finally sighed silently.
"I'll help you go out and get a set of clothes..."
As she spoke, Li Linxi pointed to the door next to her: "You can take a shower there."
After speaking, Li Linxi exited and closed the door.
After Li Linxi exited, she leaned against the wall beside her with a look of dejection and confusion.
He raised his hand to cover his chest and bared his teeth.
He felt that his heart ached. He was obviously the one he loved, but she was speaking for another man. Not only that, she also showed disgust towards him.
Thinking of this, Li Linxi felt short of breath for a moment.
He sat on the wall and stared blankly at the light bulb above his head. The light from the light dazzled him.
Xiao Haozi looked at him from the side, the heartache in his eyes seemed to be pouring out.
He walked over and sat down next to Li Linxi, accompanying him silently.
Li Linxi looked at the dazzling light bulb and heard a decadent voice: "Xiao Hao, do you think it is her or not?"
Xiao Haozi clenched his fists, and a complex look flashed in his eyes. He wanted to tell Li Linxi that Xu Yuyu was no longer the same person in her previous life! She had already passed the time, and after drinking Meng Po Soup, everything in her previous life had gone with the wind!
But Xiao Haozi couldn't say it. He bit his lip and replied with a self-deprecating expression: "How do you know?"
I don't know if it was out of resentment or some other reason, but he added: "And one is from the past life and the other is from this life! Can the two be the same?"
Li Linxi fell silent.
Xiao Haozi reached out and patted his shoulder, with pain hidden in his eyes: "You chose to look for her and persisted for thousands of years. Why are you worried about gains and losses now that you have found her..."
Xiao Haozi wanted to say something else, but when he opened his mouth, he didn't know how to speak.
"Oh... that's all! At worst, I will fight with that fox! After all, I am also a leaf of the hibiscus tree!"
Li Linxi looked at the determined Xiao Haozi next to her, with apologetic eyes: "Xiao Hao, why do you want to help me like this?"
Xiao Haozi looked at him and smiled. Perhaps only he knew the color in his eyes: "You saved my life back then, and I will protect you for the rest of my life!"
Li Linxi pursed her lips: "I, I don't deserve this..."
Xiao Haozi shook his head: "This is my decision, you don't have to think too much!"
Li Linxi wanted to speak, but Xiao Haozi stopped him with his eyes.
Li Linxi let out a long sigh and said with a wry smile: "Xiaohao, I, Mr. Li, owe you so much in this life."
Xiao Haozi looked at him and hesitated to speak. Finally, he smiled and shook his head without saying anything, turned around and left.
After a while, Li Linxi got up and went to find clothes for Xu Yuyu.
As for Xu Yuyu in the room, after Li Linxi left, she sat quietly on the bed for a while, lifted the quilt and once again confirmed that she was not feeling unwell, then the stone in her heart truly fell.
She got up and went to the bathroom Li Linxi mentioned, closing the door and locking it.
Her mood was very complicated at this moment. Who was this Li Linxi who suddenly appeared?
Why is he so special to me!?
Moreover, they all said that Hu Zhe was not good for them. Could it be that Hu Zhe was really bad for him?
Xu Yuyu was confused for a while, and after thinking for a long time to no avail, she turned on the cold water and poured it on herself, trying to calm herself down.
