Li Mu, who was already dizzy and exhausted from coping, felt his arm being pulled by a soft hand, and then he was taken away from the crowd.
"follow me."
After taking a closer look, he realized that it was Ruolan who was dragging him away. He was about to say something but was stopped by a look, and had to let him go to the outdoor terrace of the banquet hall.
"You've drank so much and you still haven't been able to cure your hangover. Why haven't you made any progress in your slender head?"
After throwing Li Mu onto the terrace, Ruolan turned around and closed the gorgeous glazed door. The moonlight was pleasant, and all the noise disappeared at this moment, leaving only the two of them alone in the night of Huiyue City.
Down.
"Since it's to help me catch up with the wind and wash away the dust, it seems too disrespectful for me to practice Qigong and relieve my hangover..."
Li Mu's explanation voice became softer and softer under Ruolan's burning eyes, and in the end he could only scratch his head in embarrassment, saying that he knew he was wrong and shouldn't have drank so much that he almost lost his composure.
The bright moonlight makes Ruolan, who is already alluring, even more radiant. The crystal hairpin is shining with starlight, her lips are like cherry blossoms, her face is like peach blossoms, her willow-shaped eyebrows are matched with smart eyes, and she is even more stunning in a red dress.
It elevated her temperament to the extreme.
Facing Ruolan like this, Li Mu didn't even dare to look too directly at her, and pretended to glance aimlessly to both sides. His embarrassment didn't reflect the aura of one man standing in front of ten thousand others in Qinglan City.
"Li Mu, look at me, I have something to say to you."
But Ruolan seemed to be particularly strong today. Instead of the teasing and joking in the past, she looked directly into Li Mu's eyes with a serious look on her face.
"Sister Ruolan, this is..."
His face turned red when the other party looked at him, and tears slowly overflowed from those breathtaking pupils. No matter how stupid or stupid Li Mu was, he was still an adult who had watched many emotional movies in his previous life, and he had more or less noticed that if
Lan's thoughts.
"Idiot, I like you. Can't you see that I like you?"
At this time, Ruolan was trembling uncontrollably. She grabbed Li Mu's arm and kept shaking her. Tears burst out like a dam. The emotion that had been suppressed deep in her heart finally broke out at this moment.
.
I felt pity for the pear blossoms and the rain. Ruolan, who kept mumbling and repeating the same sentence, could no longer care about anything else. The person she loved was right in front of her, and all the world's opinions and decadent rules were left behind by her.
Then there was a tight hug. Ruolan hugged her so hard, as if she wanted to tell the other person all her love.
The sudden confession under the moon made Li Mu's whole brain go into a state of shutdown. He had made some guesses about Ruolan's feelings before, but after all, unlike Lin Qingzhu and Nie Xiaoyu, the two of them had not known each other for a long time.
long.
In addition, Ruolan was more than three years older than Li Mu, and she was the daughter of the president of a large-scale chamber of commerce that spanned the fairy world. Regardless of her identity or age, Li Mu thought that his guess was just an illusion.
There was a time when Li Mu even laughed at himself, thinking how beautiful Ruolan was, and her pursuers could be lined up from Qinglan City to the Imperial Capital, how could a poor girl like him possibly win the favor of the goddess.
But the most improbable thing happened like this. Feeling the fullness in his chest and the beautiful face on his shoulders that were twitching from crying, Li Mu completely lost the ability to think.
For a moment, he didn't know where to put his hands, let alone how to respond to Ruolan's confession. His whole body was stuck there like a piece of wood, letting the pink fist hit his chest.
"Li Mu, I only ask you one thing, are you willing to be with me? I don't expect to monopolize your heart, as long as you treat me like you treat sister Qingzhu and sister Xiaoyu."
I don't know how long it took, but Ruolan finally stopped crying and looked up at Li Mu, wanting the answer that every woman wants, or a promise.
Her makeup had long been melted away by tears, but her stunning appearance still made Li Mu's heart tremble. His mind was very confused, and his heart was even more confused. There were too many problems and difficulties between the two of them.
.
"Can I really be with Sister Ruolan? What will Qingzhu and Xiaoyu think? What will other people think? Can I bring happiness to Sister Ruolan? Or will I hold her back as always?"
Li Mu couldn't get the answers to these questions. His lips moved several times, but he still couldn't finally speak.
As the silence continued, the hope in Ruolan's eyes gradually dimmed, and the hands tightly holding Li Mu dropped weakly.
"Sister Ruolan, that's not what I meant, it's just that we..."
Seeing the trace of desolation flashing across Ruolan's face, Li Mu's heart was as sharp as a knife. He wanted to hold the lovely person in front of him into his arms, but his trembling hands did not reach out anyway.
"I'm sorry, I went too far. Please forget about tonight."
Taking a deep breath, Ruolan reached out to wipe away the tears on her face, showed Li Mu a forced smile that anyone could see, and turned around and left the terrace without looking back.
"Li Mu, Li Mu, what did you do? Sister Ruolan was so kind to you, but you ended up hurting her like this."
Li Mu, who was standing alone outside the banquet hall, kept hitting his head with his fist. He didn't understand why he couldn't say a word just now despite having thousands of words in his heart.
The look on Ruolan's face when she left, the sadness as if her heart had died, deeply hurt Li Mu. The other person had paid so much for him, but in the end he had done something worse than a pig or a dog.
"Master, are you here? I'm still looking for you everywhere? What happened? Why do you look like this?"
The door to the terrace was pushed open with a creak. The person who came was none other than Zhen Ni, who had come here because she hadn't seen Li Mu for a long time. Seeing her master mutilating himself as if he was mad, Xiao Nizi was shocked.
"Did you quarrel with sister Ruolan? When I came over just now, I happened to see her running out. She had obviously cried. Master, did you bully sister Ruolan?"
Facing Zhen Ni's questioning, Li Mu could only smile bitterly and shake his head. He didn't know what to do now. He could only wait a few days for Ruolan to calm down before explaining properly.
After such an incident, Li Mu had no intention of continuing to attend the banquet. After saying hello to Uncle Fu, he took Zhen Ni back to the small courtyard where he lived.
Lying in bed, he was thinking a lot. The process of meeting Ruolan and getting to know each other was like a movie passing through his mind. In fact, it was clear that there were too many details that showed the other person's thoughts.
Whether it was the generous help during the war or the sacrifice regardless of the cost after the war, what Ruolan did for Li Mu had long gone beyond the responsibilities of an ordinary friend.
But I was still belatedly aware of it, and even deliberately avoided it, looking for excuses and reasons for this relationship. I said that my sister is older than my sister, but in my heart I was deliberately ignoring the other person's feelings.
