Chapter 20 Xue Huai Was Looking for Nian Xuelian?
The delicate teacup shattered into powder, like a plate of loose sand and fell on the table in bits and pieces, Rong Huo stared at Xue Huai with wide-eyed eyes.
"Master?"
"You know her?" Xue Huai looked down at the crumbs on the table, couldn't see the expression on his face, and said softly without lifting his eyelids.
Although Xue Huai's tone was calm, he always felt that there was something wrong with Xue Huai now. After staying with Xue Huai for a long time, he could also vaguely feel that Xue Huai was not as indifferent as he appeared on the surface.
Xue Huai was angry several times before, and he reprimanded him with a cold face. Although he didn't say anything this time, he always felt that Xue Huai's mood now was worse than the previous few times.
"Well... I met once before." Rong Huo replied after deliberation.
"Really? You remember it after seeing it once?" Xue Huai's voice was very soft, like the fog that hadn't cleared in the morning, floating faintly in the air.
Taking a breath, Rong Huo felt inexplicably terrified, and was thinking about how to respond, when Xiao Lian let out a cry of pain.
He immediately turned his head to look at Xiao Lian. She covered her stomach with her hands and bowed her waist. Her face was as pale as paper, her whole body was trembling, and she was holding the pipa, which was precarious.
Frowning, Rong Huo asked concerned: "Xiao Lian? Are you okay?"
One or two in the room lowered their heads and did not speak. The room was too quiet, only Xiao Lian's shortness of breath could be heard, as if he was suppressing some pain.
Seeing that the person kept his head down and didn't speak, he couldn't sit still. He stood up and walked towards her, stood in front of her, and said softly, "Xiao Lian, is there something wrong with you? Do you want to go back and rest first?"
After speaking, he wanted to pat her on the shoulder to comfort her, but before her hands touched her clothes, she suddenly backed away, trembling even more, and kept shaking her head. ?
What's going on here?It looks like he's not feeling well, but he doesn't make a sound, avoiding him like a snake, doesn't he look like a bad guy?Rong looked at her blankly.
Sighing lightly, he said, "Go back first, you don't need to play today."
Xiao Lian raised her head in an instant, and the light in her eyes appeared, she nodded gratefully at him, her legs and feet seemed to be a little weak, and she slowly moved towards the door while supporting the wall.
"Wait." Xue Huai raised his head to look at her, and wrote lightly, "It's already here, why don't you play a song before leaving."
Xiao Lian immediately froze, turned her head stiffly, and looked at Xue Huai with horror on her face, as if he was a murderous ghost, and said in a trembling voice: "Yes..."
Rong Huo's eyes turned to Xue Huai, his eyes were full of doubts, he didn't understand why Xue Huai suddenly wanted this singing girl to stay, obviously she looked very uncomfortable.
Just about to plead for her, Xue Huai glanced at him and said coldly, "Sit down."
He choked in confusion, hesitated for a while, and wanted to continue persuading, at this moment, the waiter came in with the food, and said with a smile: "Guest officer, your food is ready, please use it slowly."
After finishing speaking, he caught a glimpse of Xiao Lian still standing aside, and immediately withdrew his smile, his thick brows frowned, and he scolded: "What are you doing standing here stupidly, why don't you hurry up and play for the guests."
Xiao Lian hugged the pipa tightly in her hands, walked tremblingly to the other side of the room, sat down on the chair, facing the dining table.
Seeing this, the guy's face was full of smiles again: "Guest officer, take it easy, the little ones go down first." Before leaving, he glanced at Xiao Lian, Xiao Lian's complexion became paler and ugly, making Rong Huo suspect that she might go down Seconds will pass out.
Xiao Lian hugged the pipa, half of her face was hidden behind the lute, her white and slender fingers gently plucked the strings, and the clear and clear music came out, so Rong Zhuo had to sit back in her original position.
Picking up the silver chopsticks in his hand, he picked up a piece of chicken that had already been processed, and couldn't help but take a deep breath. The rich aroma immediately floated into his nose, Rong Zhuo's eyes lit up, and he immediately put it in his mouth.
The grilled chicken is tender and juicy, and the temperature is just right, not too hot: "It's delicious, Master, come and try it too."
After speaking, he picked up a piece of meat and handed it to Xue Huai, urging the man: "Try it, Master, I promise you won't regret it."
Xue Huai looked down at the meat handed over by the young man, a strange light flashed in his eyes, he leaned forward slightly, opened his mouth to bite, closed his pale lips slightly, and lightly touched the silver chopsticks of the young man.
Rong Huo was stunned for a moment, he originally wanted to put it in Xue Huai's bowl, but Xue Huai directly opened his mouth and bit it, and the hand holding the silver chopsticks tightened suddenly.
Xue Huai swallowed the food slowly, stepped back a little, looked at Rong Huo and said: "Well, it's delicious."
Embarrassed, he withdrew his hand in confusion, looking at the silver chopsticks used by the man, he was quite at a loss. He had never used a pair of silver chopsticks with anyone, but he couldn't show in front of Xue Huai that he didn't want to use these chopsticks again. silver chopsticks.
Bite the bullet and continue to pick up another dish, nodded, and said, "It's as long as the master likes it."
The sound of the pipa suddenly stopped, and Xiao Lian said in a trembling voice: "Sorry, I will do it again."
Immediately afterwards, he continued to pluck the strings, but the tune was completely messed up, and the tone was dull and unpleasant. Xue Huai raised his eyes to look at her, without any warmth in his eyes, and said indifferently: "Is this your level?"
Xiao Lian's hand holding the pipa turned white tightly, and she shrank her body and apologized submissively: "I'm sorry...it's because I can't play the piano."
"Then what are you still doing here?" Xue Huai tapped the table with his fingers, his tone soft.
Xiao Lian stood up in an instant, and ran out as if she had been pardoned, and looked back at Xue Huai with a complicated expression.
"Master, why bother to embarrass her?"
I have had this feeling since just now, I always feel that Xue Huai is targeting Xiao Lian intentionally or unintentionally, could Xiao Lian have offended Xue Huai in something, besides, the woman was fine just now, but for some reason it suddenly became like this.
"Master, did that woman offend Master in any way?"
"I don't know, don't mention some irrelevant people." Xue Huai looked calm, picked up his teacup and drank slowly, and then his eyes fell on Rong Huo, "Don't you like these dishes? Why don't you continue."
"Oh..." Seeing the indifferent look on the man's face, Rong Huo had no choice but to suppress the doubts in his heart, lowered his head and continued to eat, his eyes were slightly bright, he hadn't eaten anything seriously in the past few days, and he was already greedy and wanted to go down the mountain Have a good meal.
After Xiao Lian left, the oppressive atmosphere in the box gradually eased up. The two sat at the dining table, one sipping tea carefully, the other happily enjoying the food, very harmonious.
Through the window, you can also see the brightly lit market, and many people are enjoying themselves. There are many river lanterns floating on Crescent Lake, floating along the lake water to the distance.
"Master, look, they are releasing river lanterns, let's go and have a look later."
"it is good."
Xue Huai's voice was still as indifferent as before, but he felt that Xue Huai's mood seemed to have improved a lot.
Why is this person who is always good and sometimes bad, Rong Huo nibbled on the silver chopsticks, his thoughts flashed, and he suddenly understood, isn't this what the scriptures said?
Xue Huai is not close to women, fearing that the woman just now reminded him of his unspeakable hidden disease, so he became anxious, and his words became harsher, the more he thought about it, the more reasonable it became, the words in the market are still somewhat credible Well.
Thinking of this, Rong Huo couldn't help chuckling, Xue Huai looked sideways at Rong Huo, with a puzzled look on his face, Rong Huo lightly held his silver chopsticks, and smiled at the man.
The deep eyes suddenly sank, staring at the silver chopsticks held in the young man's mouth, and said in a suppressed voice: "What are you laughing at?"
Rong Huo blinked, smiled and shook his head: "Secret."
Xue Huai's eyebrows jumped, and he was about to speak, but he stopped, his eyes hung to the side, he didn't know what he was looking at, then raised his head, looked at Rong Huo for a while, and said: "You are waiting for me here, I am very sorry Come back soon."?Looking puzzled at Xue Huai who stood up, he raised his hand and lightly grabbed Xue Huai's sleeve, raised his head slightly and said, "Where is Master going?"
Holding Rong Huo's wrist with slender fingers, gently stroking his wrist bone, said: "Come back soon."
After speaking, she turned and left the box, Rong Huo looked at his leaving back for a moment, then stood up, walked lightly, and quietly followed behind him far away.
After Xue Huai walked out of the box, he went downstairs, walked out of the restaurant, and walked to a dimly lit place on one side. Rong Huo followed him all the way, frowned, and looked at Xue Huai with suspicion as he walked further and further away.
What exactly does Xue Huai want to do?Why do you want to come to this kind of place suddenly?
Xue Huai in front of him suddenly stopped, took a confused breath, turned around and hid behind the tree, watching from a distance. After a while, a man with a familiar figure appeared next to Xue Huai.
The man bowed to Xue Huai, and then seemed to be talking to Xue Huai.
In order not to be discovered, Rong Huo just followed from a distance, coupled with the dim light around him, the man's appearance could not be seen clearly, but he had a vague feeling that he had seen this figure somewhere before.
Unable to hear what the man said, Rong Huo turned his eyes, and while the two were not paying attention, he sneaked behind the tree a little ahead.
As soon as he stabilized his figure, he saw Xue Huai suddenly turned his head, his eyes scanned the surroundings, as if he had noticed something, Rong Huo's heart was beating like a drum, he hurriedly hid his breath, covered his mouth to resist the slight panting.
Xue Huai's eyes fell to the tree where Rong Huo was hiding from time to time, and Rong Huo heard the sound of footsteps, very softly, Rong Huo's heart beat faster and faster, and he held his breath involuntarily.
"Meow-"
Suddenly there was a faint meow, and a kitten jumped out from the tree and bumped into the white boots of the visitor, and the surroundings were as silent as stagnant water.
Rong Huo couldn't help but secretly glanced at the kitten, only to see Xue Huai's gaze flickering across the kitten's body, then he withdrew his gaze indifferently, turned and walked back to the original place.
Seeing the person turned and left, Rong Huo was instantly relieved, and his tense body relaxed a little, listening carefully to their conversation.
"What's the matter with me?"
"Your Majesty, just now the demon clan sensed your demonic energy suddenly appearing on the side of the cultivation world, and my subordinates were worried that something happened, so they rushed here immediately."
"I'm fine, tell the demons to take care of their own affairs, don't bother me if you're fine."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I still have something to report."
"Say."
"This subordinate has already found the thousand-year-old blood lotus that Your Majesty mentioned. This thing is in the East China Sea. It can be removed after half a year when it blooms."
Blood lotus? !
Rong Huo suddenly opened his eyes wide, and looked at the two people in shock, Xue Huai was also looking for this thing!
