I don’t know if it was the heat from the fireworks, or if the breath between the two people was a little hot.
The atmosphere became tense, and after drinking, Liu Yanqiu seemed to be a little dull.
Facing the figure on his shoulder, he slowly tilted his head—
The two people's breaths intertwined, the strong smell of alcohol continued to spray, and the distance between their lips was very close.
As Yinghong was about to touch him, Liu Yanqiu seemed to have lost the ability to hear his own heartbeat, and there was no sound in his ears anymore.
At this moment, a very weak force suddenly came from my chest.
He slowly came back to his senses and saw Gu Qingsheng pressing his hands against his chest.
It's a rejection.
A string in Liu Yanqiu's mind suddenly broke!
He quickly left Gu Qingsheng's face and looked at Gu Qingsheng's eyes, which were already open but still a little dizzy, with disbelief in his eyes.
Just now, what did I want to do just now?
Just now……
“Bang!”
In the cold air, there was a very loud slap.
The slap mark immediately swelled up on Liu Yanqiu's face. It was also this slap that completely woke Liu Yanqiu up.
He put down his still red palm and bit his lip, unable to believe what he had just done.
We only met for one day...
At this time, Gu Qingsheng, who was at his shoulder, slowly raised his head and muttered
"It's not... this taste... it's not... it's not this sweet taste..."
Because she was drunk, her every move was childish and quite cute.
The fireworks in the distance gradually faded, Liu Yanqiu smiled and held Gu Qingsheng's shoulders
"Where do you live? I'll take you back..."
This question made Gu Qingsheng frown and think for a long time, then he said "ah" and pointed to the mountain not far away.
"I live there..."
"That's..."
Following the direction pointed by Gu Qingsheng, Liu Yanqiu's eyes were filled with emotion.
"Yes, Luofo Temple?"
In return, he got Gu Qingsheng's affirmative but unclear answer.
She probably didn't even have basic consciousness right now. Liu Yanqiu knew that it was impossible to ask her anything else.
He could only accept his fate and carried Gu Qingsheng on his back, then slowly walked down from the roof.
The people searching for them down below had already gone to the canal, and the whole town was somewhat quiet.
Liu Yanqiu carried Gu Qingsheng on his back and walked steadily step by step.
The drunk Gu Qingsheng was much more obedient than when she was sober. He collapsed on Liu Yanqiu's back, mumbling something from time to time.
Completely different from the sober and aloof person she was during the day, Liu Yanqiu found this girl very interesting and said to himself:
"Actually, I lied when I said you were heavy. You're not heavy at all. You're much lighter than my sister."
"My sister doesn't eat much on weekdays. In the past..."
There was a moment of loneliness in his eyes, but he cheered up again.
"Your daughter, shouldn't you be eating delicious food every day? Why are you so thin?"
Gu Qingsheng didn't answer and rubbed his face against Liu Yanqiu's back.
There was no answer. Liu Yanqiu stopped talking after a while.
He walked slowly, but he didn't feel bored.
The silhouette of Luofo Temple in front is looming, with some night fog.
Liu Yanqiu suddenly felt reluctant to leave Gu Qingsheng on his back, and every step he took seemed very long.
"Chiangmori."
In the fog, I heard Liu Yanqiu calling out again.
"I know you won't answer, but I still want to ask you."
"Why are you giving me one tael of silver? I clearly told you it was two cents..."
"because……"
Gu Qingsheng, who originally thought that there would be no answer, suddenly spoke at this time, but his voice was a little lazy and idle.
The ending tone carried a hint of tenderness that only belongs to girls. Normally, Gu Qingsheng would not be so defenseless.
Liu Yanqiu suddenly became nervous and tightened his hands behind Gu Qingsheng's back.
"Because, sir... you have some thin calluses on the sides of your index and middle fingers... These are calluses that only appear on people who hold a pen... I've seen them on my father's hand..."
Although still drunk, the words he said were so true
"And sir... there are also some marks on your palm... it's caused by years of holding a sword..."
Liu Yanqiu pursed his lips tightly, his heart pounding.
Even he himself had not noticed these details.
"Sir... you're both talented in literature and martial arts, but... you've abandoned all your integrity and become a street vendor selling candied haws, raising the price for whatever you want. So, Sir, you must... you must be in trouble."
"Did you notice, Mr. Liu... your hands were shaking when you were raising the price..."
Her voice grew softer and softer, but Liu Yanqiu felt increasingly cold in the heart.
Maybe the night is really cold.
It was so cold that mist gradually gathered in Liu Yanqiu's eyes, slowly turning into teardrops as big as beans, which fell down in his eyes with crackling sounds.
His lips trembled and he bit his lower lip hard to prevent the painful sobs in his throat from coming out.
This was the first time he felt that someone was touching him with their heart.
"The east wind may be strong... but rotten wood cannot find spring... Sir... Mr. Liu..."
"Although the east wind is strong..."
This was Gu Qingsheng's last sentence, but it made Liu Yanqiu stop.
Although the east wind is strong, a rotten tree cannot meet spring.
A rotten tree will never meet spring.
In the dark night, someone walked up the stone steps step by step.
Every step brings out endless humiliation, regret, and deep loneliness.
Some people cry in the night, some people whisper in the night.
………
It was already early morning when we arrived at Luofo Temple, and the sun was rising from the top of the mountain.
The two figures in the photo were fiery red.
In front of Luofo Temple, a man stood with his hands behind his back.
Xu Qingyi's white clothes were reflected in the light like fire. Her face was pale and full of fatigue. She lowered her eyes and watched Gu Qingsheng being carried up on someone's back.
Her face was buried in the man's neck, and her hands were tightly hooked around his neck.
This look of dependence made Xu Qingyi's fingers, which were behind his back, move slightly, but he didn't show it on his face.
He just closed his eyes slightly, his eyelashes trembling, and took a step forward to say to Liu Yanqiu
"Thank you very much."
After saying that, he reached out to pick Gu Qingsheng up.
Liu Yanqiu dodged and stopped his action, leaving Xu Qingyi's hands empty.
He looked at Xu Qingyi coldly. For some reason, he felt a bit hostile towards the man in front of him.
"Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am."
Xu Qingyi's voice was also very light, and the alienated tone made people feel frozen.
"The important thing is that she is a guest of Luofo Temple."
"The guest doesn't need this...master to carry him in, right?"
The irony in the words was very harsh, and Liu Yanqiu curled his lips with disdain in his eyes.
"I'm afraid this master has ulterior motives."
