Chapter five hundred and forty second apprenticeship
After Lin Weiwei left, Xie Mingxi was in a happy mood, with curved lips and smiles in her eyes.
This good mood continued into the evening.
It's cold in winter and it gets dark early.
After dinner, Gu Shanchang looked outside and said with a smile: "I just had dinner, so I'm not in a hurry to read. You can go out for a walk, relax and come back later."
Sheng Hong came to the academy every few days. Every time he came, it was in the evening. After practicing martial arts with Mr. Lian for two hours, he rode back to the palace.
Since the wedding date was set, Xie Mingxi has not been to the practice room, nor has she met Sheng Hong again.
Despite such observance of etiquette, Master Gu felt a little sorry for his disciple, and simply took the initiative to let Xie Mingxi go out to "relax".
Xie Mingxi obviously wanted to go, but she said: "It's freezing cold. I don't want to go out. I want to talk to Master."
Gu Shan smiled and rolled his eyes at her: "Don't act like a good boy just to get an advantage. If you don't leave, I won't allow you to see the Seventh Prince."
Xie Mingxi: "..."
Xie Mingxi's cheeks were slightly warm, and she pretended to be calm and calm: "It's okay not to see you."
"You are so stubborn." Gu Shanchang teased with a smile: "I have been restless all night and looked outside from time to time. When I am here, my heart has already flown to the practice room. Okay, don't be verbose here, hurry up
Let’s go!”
Xie Mingxi then agreed and walked out unhurriedly.
Ruoyao pursed her lips and snickered.
Xie Mingxi is good at everything, but her temper is a bit awkward. She is about to get married, so it is not shameful to admit that she misses her fiancée. Why be so duplicitous!
Gu Shanchang glanced at Ruoyao who was snickering, laughed and shook his head together and sighed: "This Mingxi is good at everything, but she is too dishonest."
…
Miss Xie San, who was not honest at all, walked slowly outside the practice room.
It was getting late, and the stars were shining coldly in the sky.
The candlesticks were still unlit in the practice room, and it was dark. The sound of rapid sword strikes reached Xie Mingxi's ears through the thick door panels.
Xie Mingxi subconsciously raised her ears to listen, and the more she listened, the more frightened she became.
Both Lian Fuzi and Sheng Hong used sharp swords. In the complete darkness, if they were not careful, they would hurt each other, or be injured by the long sword in the other's hand.
Master Lian insisted on practicing swordsmanship in this way, so that he could develop his extraordinary eyesight, hearing and judgment.
Sheng Hong actually agreed, completely ignoring the dangers of practicing swordsmanship like this.
Clang!
A slightly harsh sound of swords clashing suddenly sounded! Then, there was an exclamation: "Master!"
Xie Mingxi's expression changed slightly, she quickly rushed to the door and pushed in.
The light in the practice room was extremely dim, but fortunately Xie Mingxi had excellent eyesight, and she could see Master Lian and Sheng Hong at a glance.
Sheng Hong was dressed in black, almost blending into the darkness. His handsome face was full of anxiety and guilt: "Master, are you okay?"
Mr. Lian's expression was a little complicated, and he said after a while: "I'm fine. Sheng Hong, you can leave now."
Sheng Hong: "..."
It’s over! Master must be angry with him!
Before Sheng Hong could explain, Mr. Lian continued quickly: "I have taught you all the Lian family's sword skills. You can also memorize the Lian family's military books. I have taught you everything you need to teach."
Once you get down, you have to practice and understand it on your own. From now on, you don’t have to come to Lianchi Academy again.”
Then, Mr. Lian looked at Xie Mingxi and said calmly: "Mingxi, you two are going to get married soon. In the future, remember to supervise and remind your highness to practice swordsmanship every day and read more military books."
Xie Mingxi had no choice but to respond: "Yes."
It seems that defeat at the hands of his disciples is a big blow to Master Lian.
Mr. Lian didn't look at the two of them again, turned around and left.
…
Sheng Hong was caught off guard and stood there blankly.
Xie Mingxi stepped forward and lowered her voice: "Did you hurt Mrs. Lian just now?"
Sheng Hong responded with aggrieved heart: "How could this be? These days, I have been saving some strength, for fear that the long sword has no eyes and would hurt the master. Just now, I also withdrew my strength in time."
Otherwise, if the sword was used with enough force, Mr. Lian would probably be slightly injured.
Xie Mingxi sighed silently: "How proud Mrs. Lian is! She must have noticed that you have some spare energy."
The master is better than the master. As a master, it is undoubtedly something to be proud of and gratified to teach a disciple who is better than himself. However, this day came so quickly, which was beyond Mr. Lian's expectation.
That's why Mrs. Lian is so depressed!
Sheng Hong put away the long sword and felt helpless: "Master said that I can leave the army, but I am not allowed to come back in the future. In fact, I practice swordsmanship every day, and I have been studying military books with great concentration. It doesn't matter whether I come to Master's place or not."
No. But I won’t have a chance to see you in the future.”
Xie Mingxi: "..."
If she had such a "wrong-minded" disciple, she would have been kicked out of the school long ago. The honest master can tolerate him until today, how well-mannered he is!
"We are getting married in one month, and we will see each other every day and stay together every day."
The practice room was dark and it was difficult to see the expressions on each other's faces. Xie Mingxi was finally willing to say some sweet words to coax Sheng Hong: "It's only been a month, can't you help it?"
Sheng Hongli responded confidently: "I can't help it."
Three short words are better than all the sweet words in the world.
A touch of sweetness surges into my heart and lingers for a long time.
Xie Mingxi suddenly remembered what Lin Weiwei said during the day.
You are not alone, there are many people in this world who care about you.
Sheng Hong was the one who cared about her the most.
Although she has relatives, she has no affection. He came from another world, and in this world, the person with whom he is most entangled is her. From the day they met, their fates have been intertwined and can no longer be separated.
"Sheng Hong," Xie Mingxi suddenly said softly, "I also miss you all the time."
Such a simple sentence made Sheng Hong's whole body tremble, and he was so excited that he couldn't control himself. He took a step forward and put his arms around Xie Mingxi.
Xie Mingxi was caught off guard, and when she came to her senses, she was held tightly in his arms.
He was covered in sweat after practicing the sword, and the slightly strong smell of sweat suddenly entered her breath. It was like a net, trapping her tightly.
She had always loved cleanliness, but at this moment, smelling the strong smell of sweat, she didn't feel it was pungent. Instead, she felt a strange intimacy.
"Mingxi," Sheng Hong whispered softly.
The hot breath blew in her ears, causing waves of numbness. The hot lips pressed gently behind her ears. The back of Xie Mingxi's ears felt slightly hot, and she clearly had a premonition of his next move, but she did not move.
.
This disguised "encouragement" made Sheng Hong's blood surge and he was so excited that he couldn't suppress it.
His rapid breathing fell on her face, and then moved to her lips.
