Chapter 135 Too Close, Get Out

This was a very long, very real dream.

It was so long that he almost felt like he had lived his entire life in it.

It was so real that Xie Chengjin felt that the word "dream" was not appropriate to describe it. It was more like his memory.

But rebirth is such a ridiculous thing.

Xie Chengjin lowered his eyes and stared at the scars on his palm.

He maintained this posture and sat by the bed for a long time, not knowing whether he was in a daze or thinking about something.

Until it got light outside, the morning bell rang, and the servants knocked on his door.

He came back to his senses a little: "Come in."

The servant entered the room.

For the first time, he saw Xie Chengjin still in his pajamas.

Usually at this time, Xie Chengjin would have gotten up, and even started handling official business after practicing sword skills. What happened today?

The attendant was very surprised, but he didn't dare show it on his face. He just asked, "Sir, today is the young lady's engagement ceremony. It will begin in an hour. Do you want to go now?"

Engagement ceremony?

Who and who?

Xie Chengjin didn't say anything, but raised his hand and pressed his forehead.

The attendant felt even more strange when he saw this.

Why does it seem like you have forgotten what day it is today?

The servant standing here also felt a little at a loss.

Xie Chengjin was so weird today that he didn't know what to say.

I was still hesitating, wondering whether I should give him another reminder.

But then, Xie Chengjin turned his head abruptly and looked at the calendar on the table.

It's like I just remembered what day it is today.

Next second.

The attendant saw Xie Chengjin's face darken.

The air pressure around them suddenly became very low. After a while, the attendant heard Xie Chengjin say, "Well. Go over now."

The other side.

Xie Yanyu had just changed into his wedding attire.

She was woken up early in the morning.

The wedding dress had been chosen a few days ago, so she could just put it on directly. Therefore, she initially didn't understand why Li Xun pulled her up so early.

After she put on the wedding dress, Li Xun began to try the rings and pendants on her body, insisting on choosing the right accessories.

She was woken up too early and didn't get enough sleep, so she felt dizzy. She didn't know what had gotten into Li Xun to make him so energetic.

After choosing her earrings, he started choosing her earrings.

I first put a string of pearl earrings on her, but then I felt that it didn't suit her outfit today.

Then he took it off again and replaced it with a red jade necklace for her.

Then he stared at the ruby pendant.

After looking at it for a while, he felt that it did not suit her face very well. He said sarcastically that this kind of red jade pendant would only be worn by people who looked older. Although it was expensive, it was very tacky. Whoever put this thing in the makeup box, he would go back and kill that person because he had no taste at all.

Xie Yanyu felt like a puppet being manipulated by others.

This person is extremely picky.

Now he was dressing her up as if she were the most beautiful and precious treasure. He wanted to put all these most expensive things on her one by one to try them out and choose the most suitable one, but after choosing and choosing, he felt that none of them were worthy of her.

When he was changing the earrings for her for who knows how many times.

Xie Yanyu was almost unable to bear it anymore.

Just as she was about to slap his hand away and curse, the man suddenly came up to her, his face enlarged in front of her: "Are you angry?"

Asking despite knowing the answer.

Xie Yanyu took a deep breath: "You——"

Her breath was stuck in her chest. She felt uncomfortable if she didn't scold him, but she didn't know what to say if she scolded him, so her voice stopped.

Thinking about what to say.

The man's golden brown eyes curved up and he leaned close to her ear: "Don't be angry."

He tapped his ear, then took her hand and touched his ear.

She felt a small hole.

She paused, then her eyes fell on his ear, only to find that his earlobe was slightly red and swollen.

Li Xun laughed, his warm breath falling on her ear: "If you are angry, help me choose, try as many as you want."

Xie Yanyu was stunned: "When did you get your ears pierced?"

Li Xun glanced at her and said slowly: "Just now."

He picked up an earring.

Matching the pair on her ears, he said, "My wedding attire, my jewelry, and my shoes all match yours. But it feels a little off. Do you like this pair?"

Xie Yanyu glanced in the mirror.

Should I say it or not?

He helped her choose a pair of beautiful earrings that suited her very well. Although he spent a lot of time trying them on, his movements were very gentle. Her ears didn't actually feel anything after changing them over and over again. It was only at that moment that she was very impatient.

His emotions were interrupted at this moment, and when he saw that he had his ears pierced, he could no longer vent his anger.

She had no complaints about the earrings.

So she nodded: "Yeah, it looks good."

Li Xun lowered his head slightly.

He handed the ear to her and said lightly, "Then help me put it on."

*

Finished choosing earrings.

The maid began to help Xie Yanyu dress up.

She got up early in the morning and was finally able to sit down, so she sat in front of the dressing table, feeling a little drowsy.

Closing her eyes to rest, she heard the bustling sounds outside, and the engagement finally felt more real. Her thoughts drifted away, and after a while, she began to think about how to cancel the engagement.

Li Xun watched the maid combing her hair from behind.

He wanted to find fault again, thinking that the comb was not combed well here or there.

This hairpin should not be worn on the left side, and that hairpin should not have tassels.

He thought he was not a very servile person. It was obvious that during the years he lived with her, he was very unhappy about being ordered around by her and always quarreled with her. But at this moment, when she didn't order him around, he wanted to kick those maids away and comb her hair himself.

But he won't.

So he looked back for a while and thought about it.

Then he pulled a chair, sat down next to her, and began to watch the maid combing her hair. It was not that he could not learn, after all, they were engaged now and he had plenty of time with her. Once he learned it, it would not be someone else's turn to comb her hair.

*

The engagement ceremony will begin in one hour.

But the guests arrived earlier, so Li Xun had to go out to entertain them first.

So after watching the maid comb Xie Yanyu's hair, she left first.

As soon as he left, the surroundings became much quieter.

Xie Yanyu closed her eyes, feeling the slight pull of the hairpin on her head. She lowered her head and fell into a deep sleep.

I don’t know how long it took, but it seemed like all the maids in the room left.

She felt a sense of being watched in a daze.

Xie Chengjin pushed open the door.

He had very good manners, and was quiet when he walked, stood, sat, or lay down, and he made no sound when he walked in.

The attendant followed him, his brain almost exploding—

He just asked Xie Chengjin if he wanted to go to the engagement ceremony. Xie Chengjin nodded and said he would go now.

He thought he was going to the engagement ceremony, but why did he come directly to Xie Yanyu's room...

He hesitated to speak, feeling that the young master was not acting normally today.

But at this time, I was following behind and didn’t know whether I should speak or not.

So he looked up again and secretly glanced at Xie Chengjin's expression.

Just now when he entered the room, Xie Chengjin still had a blank expression on his face, but now when he saw Xie Yanyu, his eyes moved around her, and seeing her outfit today, his expression suddenly turned not so good——

It was one thing to see her wearing auspicious attire in the previous video.

Seeing it in person is another matter.

Xie Chengjin stood quietly behind her without saying a word.

There was a mirror in front of her.

So even if he stood behind her, he could still see her front in the mirror when he looked forward.

Because she was asleep, her head was slightly lowered.

But even so, you can still see her appearance.

He looked at her carefully.

In fact, he had seen this face countless times. Every time he saw her in the crowd in his previous life, he would notice her eyes. He had seen them even more times in this life, and had described them countless times in his dreams: eyebrows, eyes, nose, and lips.

But even he knew this face by heart.

After looking for a while, he walked closer.

Then he sat on the chair where Li Xun had just sat, very close to her, observing her more closely.

In fact, looking at her face, you can hardly see the shadow of the pitiful child she was back then.

If she opened her eyes, those slightly scleral eyes might be the only thing that resembled her childhood.

He saved her.

To this day, he actually can't remember what he was thinking when he rescued her. He probably felt a little sorry for her.

When he fed her blood, he must have been thinking, if she died, he had saved her life in vain. He wanted her to live, even after returning to the Xie family, he still hoped that this child could live.

But then he didn't recognize her.

For many years, he and she were really pushing each other to death.

It started as a battle between humans and demons, but they suffered too much at the hands of each other. There were personal grudges in every subsequent battle, but no one could kill the other. Until her death, he was not actually very happy.

So many feelings.

He wanted her to live, he wanted her to die, but when he thought of the last letter in his previous life, he felt guilty. He thought that if he had known earlier that she was that child, he would not want her to go astray and have any connection with Helan Wei. One wrong step would lead to another.

Even in this life, he had wanted to kill her several times because he hated the feeling of losing control, but he kept losing control when he met her.

But he still couldn't do it.

He kept watching her and began to control her more strictly. He saw the thorny bones under her skin and tried to touch them. When he touched them, he felt something was wrong. He began to care and had dreams that he shouldn't have all night long. He clearly didn't want to control her anymore, but when he thought of his previous life, he came over again.

So what does he think of her now?

Just to do it again, don't you want to see her go astray?

Xie Chengjin himself couldn't tell the difference.

He suddenly moved closer.

The attendant standing aside saw Xie Chengjin reach out and gently pinch Xie Yanyu's chin.

Then he applied a little force with his fingertips and turned her face towards him.

The two were very close in an instant.

The tips of their noses almost touch, but there is still some distance.

It's just that the distance is a little too close, perhaps their breaths can infect each other, as if he wants to observe her more closely.

But the distance is too close!

The servant's eyes suddenly widened.

His mind was a mess. He always felt that at this distance, if Xie Chengjin lowered his head a little more, their lips might touch.

The next second, he saw Xie Yanyu's eyelashes move.

She seemed to be waking up.

However, at this moment, Xie Chengjin turned his head slightly and heard him say coldly -

"go out."
