Chapter 41
Dabai from Yard No. 1 was waiting at the door early. When he saw the three figures, he jumped up, his tail wagging, and jumped with all his strength on his four fat legs. A graceful arc was drawn, and his soft white fur fluttered in the wind. A strange liquid also flew with the movement.
"Woof!"
It passed Xiao Zhang directly and rushed towards Su Yin and Xie Lingxu without looking around.
The two men stopped, turned their toes outward, and opened a gap just big enough for the dog to fly through.
The big white dog jumped over the gap with perfect accuracy, but landed on the ground empty-handed, while the two men's clothes only moved slightly.
Xiao Zhang was stunned again. Such sensitivity, such cooperation, such tacit understanding.
If there is no connection between them, he wouldn't be named Zhang.
In a few seconds, the two people who were separated by a distance as big as a giant Samoyed were walking together again.
Dabai didn't hold a grudge. He got up grunting and happily walked around the two of them.
"Xie Lingxu, let's have hotpot tonight. I'll make you a mandarin duck clear soup."
"good."
It seemed as if the scene just now was just a trivial episode. At first glance, they looked like an ordinary family of two who came out to walk their dog.
Xiao Zhang felt inexplicably upset. There were clearly three people at the scene, but he didn't have a name.
He coughed loudly a few times to interrupt them. "You two, we're here. Miss Qingqing's condition is not stable, but she will definitely not do anything to harm you. Please bear with me."
Su Yin then turned her attention back to the main matter, "So now can you tell me what's wrong with her?"
"You'll know when you go in." Xiao Zhang said nothing more, lowered his head and opened the door that had never been officially opened in more than a year.
Being so mysterious, Su Yin complained in his heart, shrugged his shoulders, and walked into the yard with Xie Lingxu.
Compared with other courtyards, the scenery in Courtyard No. 1 is simpler, even desolate. Because the patient did not want to see people, the staff responsible for taking care of the courtyard never came in to take care of it after she moved in. In addition, with the giant dog parkour, there are almost no decorative items in the yard except for a dog house.
Su Yin took a quick look around and then looked at the person by the tree.
The quick glance I took at the wall was not wrong. The patient in Hospital No. 1 was indeed a very beautiful and ethereal person.
The thin beauty leaned against a big tree like a willow in the wind, holding a small silk handkerchief in her hand, but her expression was full of sorrow. She stared at the two people who walked in side by side without blinking, her eyes filled with tears that were about to fall.
Su Yin stopped and looked at Xie Lingxu who was standing with her. She had an inexplicable bad feeling.
In the midst of the silence, a mournful voice rang out—
"So you have someone else out there, so you abandoned me here and didn't even come to see me for so long... Were all the vows we made to you all lies? Can you treat my sincerity so cheaply? I like you so much... and now you've brought someone here with you, so what am I?"
After hearing these words, Su Yin's first reaction was: How could someone be so perverted as to like Xie Lingxu!
Later she realized that this was not Xie Lingxu, the one who had beaten her sisters who practiced Hehuan Dao and made them unable to see anyone for a whole year.
She looked suspiciously back and forth between Ji Qingqing and Xie Lingxu, and the more she looked, the stranger it seemed.
The muffled complaints continued: "It's fine that he brought someone into the house, but now, he's not even willing to explain himself..."
That sound was as sad as it could be.
Su Yinyou turned her head and questioned Xie Lingxu with her gaze: Didn’t you say it had nothing to do with Courtyard No. 1??!
Xie Lingxu frowned, "I don't know her."
"Look at her expression, listen to her words, doesn't it look like she doesn't know me?!"
This scene was so heartbreaking that anyone who heard about it or saw it cried. Su Yin was also infected, and an indescribable bitterness spread in her heart.
She took a few steps to distance herself from him.
Sensing her intention, Xie Lingxu took a step forward with his long legs, and the distance that had just been opened was instantly reduced, even getting closer than before.
"I really don't know her." He explained again, only glancing at her with the corner of his eyes the whole time, not even giving the heartbroken woman a straight look.
Su Yin glared at him angrily, "How could she cry so sadly if she really didn't know her?"
After saying that, he turned his head away and stepped on the fallen dog hair on the ground.
Seeing that the king ignored her and kept talking to others, the tears in Ji Qingqing's eyes finally fell, like a flood gate opening, falling down with a plop.
Unable to bear to scold his beloved king, he turned his anger towards the third party.
"Where did you come from, you slut? How dare you seduce the king in front of me! Do you think I'm dead?"
She stood up, her cold and elegant face full of tear marks, and her thin finger pointed at exactly - Xie Lingxu.
Xie Lingxu: “……?”
Ji Qingqing glared at him viciously, then turned to Su Yin, wiping the tears from her eyes with a handkerchief in her hand. "My King—"
The ending tone is subtle and contains countless emotions.
Suyin:?
ah?
She was stunned for a moment, not even able to retract her expression, and subconsciously denied: "I'm not, I don't, I don't know you!"
Ji Qingqing's tears, which had just stopped, began to fall again, and she cried even harder.
Xie Lingxu glanced at Su Yin calmly.
Su Yin finally understood what he had felt just now, what it meant that things change over time and what it meant that there was no way to argue.
She is innocent!
"I know."
The cold voice interrupted her busy brain activity, and Su Yin looked at him in confusion.
"She's having a seizure."
Su Yin was silent for a while, then she said why it was so strange, and she thought it was some kind of love debt left by the original owner.
During this short period of time, Xie Lingxu took half a step forward and blocked Su Yin behind him.
Ji Qingqing sobbed and gasped, "My king...how can you only see the new people laughing, but not the old people crying...My king..."
Su Yin remained silent and secretly glanced at Xie Lingxu again. This... he didn't smile either.
The crying sound was particularly clear in the empty courtyard, and she really didn't know what to do with her for a moment.
This person's crying made her head hurt.
Seeing that she was indifferent, Ji Qingqing could almost squeeze out water from the silk handkerchief she was using to wipe her tears.
She cried out, "My king, you can abandon me, but do you also abandon our child?"
Suyin: ...?
Is the disease this serious?
At least the people in the No. 2 courtyard next door only treat her as someone they like.
She was so good that she even had a child.
Dabai walked over and nudged his master soothingly, but was held by the pale hand as if it were a life-saving piece of wood.
Ji Qingqing's miserable voice was filled with sincerity: "My king, look at our child, my king. He is so white and fat and well-raised. This is our child, my king!"
Dabai cooperated and woofed.
"My king, listen to how loud our children's voices are!"
Su Yin: “…”
In order not to aggravate this person's illness, Xie Lingxu leaned over slightly and whispered in Su Yin's ear: "If you can't handle it, we can just leave."
The cold jade-like face was so close that no flaws could be found even at such a close distance. Accompanied by the devilish crying sound, Su Yin was in a trance for a moment.
In this situation, it was as if that righteous bastard was questioning her ability.
She shook her head, perhaps due to the inertia of tit-for-tat in her previous life, she was actually a little angry.
"Is it a mere patient that I can't handle?"
Su Yin pushed Xie Lingxu aside, walked a few steps to Ji Qingqing, and said in a deep voice, "Don't you know why I didn't come?"
Ji Qingqing paused in her crying and was obviously stunned, with confusion in her wide-open eyes.
Su Yin took a deep breath, pointed at the door with one hand, and his momentum instantly rose.
"First of all, the reason I didn't come wasn't me, it was you who wouldn't let me in. You always locked the door and wouldn't let me in. Is there someone else hiding in this house? You have a beautiful woman hidden in this house, and I finally got to come here, crying and blaming you. It makes me feel like I'm the one who's unfaithful!"
Ji Qingqing: "I didn't—"
He was interrupted before he could even finish his words.
"No, no, it's nothing. You're guarding against us like you're guarding against thieves. Aren't the people who don't let outsiders in from your courtyard the ones who are not allowed in?"
Su Yin didn't even give her a chance to refute. "Also, you said this is our child. Look at how this child looks like me? We haven't seen each other for over a year. Where on earth did you get this bastard from?"
“I…I…”
Ji Qingqing took two quick breaths, but before she could say anything, she suddenly felt a gentle force on her back.
Almost instantly, Su Yin's tone softened and she patted him gently to comfort him, as if she was not the aggressive person just now.
"Don't worry, I know you have deep feelings for me. You are not unlovable. Even if the mountains are gone and the sky and the earth meet, you dare not break up with me."
Ji Qingqing burst into tears, "My king, do you finally understand my feelings? My king! To receive such a response from your king, I... I am now clear about my true identity!"
Tears flowed in the wind and she smiled sincerely.
Su Yin's eyes rolled, his expression unpredictable.
She laughed too early.
"It's no use knowing your feelings. In this world, two people can't be together just because they have a mutual understanding."
Hearing this, Ji Qingqing clenched her handkerchief tightly and asked nervously, "W-what?"
"The righteous path has its own rules, and the evil path has its own rules. As for the rule of our Xiaoyao Sect, we are not allowed to share the same path with those from other sects."
Su Yin put his hands behind his back, looking righteous and awe-inspiring, "As the Young Master of Xiaoyao Sect, I must lead by example."
"But, but what should I do? My king, I want to be with you forever. The heavens and the earth are my witnesses to my love for you, as are the sun and the moon!"
Ji Qingqing was like a stupid fish, rushing to bite the hook she cast.
The fish took the bait, and Su Yin immediately smiled brightly. "That's easy. Join my Xiaoyao Sect, and you can choose from all the handsome men and beautiful women in the sect. Whether you like muscular men or elegant gentlemen, we have what you want."
Xie Lingxu, who was listening to her silently, said:
The real intention is revealed?
He asked why her attitude had suddenly changed so much, and it turned out that she wanted to recruit more people to join her.
But he never forgets his own identity.
He glanced at Ji Qingqing, who was crying and laughing, completely moved by Su Yin's emotions. He took a deep breath, but did not stop her.
Here, after listening to Su Yin's propaganda, Ji Qingqing covered her face with a silk handkerchief and stamped her feet shyly, "I don't want any handsome men or beautiful women, I only want the king."
Faced with such a passionate confession, Su Yin's expression remained unchanged, "No matter who you want, you must first join the sect."
"In, in, in! I am the king's person in life and his ghost in death. Wherever the king is, there I am. Whatever camp the king is in, I am in the same camp. If the king goes east, I will never go west!"
Ji Qingqing almost swore to the sky, as sincere as she could be.
"Then you will be a member of Xiaoyao Sect from now on."
Su Yin decided on her identity, raised her chin slightly, and gave Xie Lingxu a look that was both provocative and proud.
This is not easy.
It’s the same method we used to coax little kids into joining the Xiaoyao Sect.
Those eyes were full of cunning, like the most clever fox in the mountains.
Xie Lingxu's eyelashes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his lips curled up in an almost invisible arc.
However, the little interaction between the two did not escape Ji Qingqing's eyes.
Ji Qingqing, who had been very happy, was now unhappy. She stared at Xie Lingxu with resentment in her big eyes, feeling indescribable sorrow and anger towards the third party between herself and the king.
She pointed at him and asked Su Yin, "Your Majesty, you haven't told me yet who he is and why he is able to stay by your side!"
"He..." Su Yin hesitated.
How can I put it? Now she is the king, and Ji Qingqing is a famous and influential person around the king, so what is Xie Lingxu?
"he……"
She also wanted to know what his role was in this drama.
Ji Qingqing saw her hesitation, and the tears that had just stopped flowed again, flowing more and more fiercely as if they were free.
"Your Majesty, just tell me, is he important to you?"
Su Yin hesitated for a moment and nodded.
How could her attending physician not be important?
After hearing the answer, Ji Qingqing instantly clenched the handkerchief in her hand into a ball, tears streaming down her face but forcing a smile.
However, Su Yin's eyes were still fixed on Xie Lingxu, her mind still thinking about his identity, and she didn't notice her behavior.
"How important is it?" Ji Qingqing was determined to get to the bottom of it.
"Uh..." Another question that stumped Su Yin.
She thought for a long time before leaning over to Ji Qingqing's ear and whispered, "It's very important. It's so important that if I can't get his heart, I have to get him as a person."
From the very beginning, Su Yin's purpose was very clear. Even if she couldn't make him submit wholeheartedly, she had to make him stay by her side with this appearance and work like a slave!
Ji Qingqing's eyes suddenly widened. Even if she couldn't get his heart, she had to get him. Was it actually... actually that important? !
What kind of love must one have to be so obsessed with it!
She heard a snap, and her heart broke. "I knew it. It turns out... it turns out that what the king said just now was just to fool me! In front of him, I am nothing!"
Ji Qingqing became more and more sad as she spoke: "What do you mean by handsome men and beautiful women are available for you to choose from? Does the king want to dump me to someone else and stay with him forever?"
Su Yin: "...I really don't have this."
"The king is still coaxing me!" Ji Qingqing was heartbroken. Her already weak body could not withstand the torment. Her legs went soft and she fell directly to the ground.
Xie Lingxu didn't know what Su Yin had said just now, but from a doctor's perspective, he judged that Ji Qingqing's current condition was not suitable for further stimulation.
He shook his head at Su Yin, "She's not Fu Yan, she can't stand the stimulation, let's go."
Ji Qingqing interrupted sharply, "Where did this bitch come from? You stole the king and flaunted your power in front of me, and now you want to just walk away! If a tiger doesn't show its might, do you think I'm Hello Kitty? I'm telling you, as long as I'm still alive, you can't even think of entering this house!"
The sharp female voice was like a devilish sound that pierced the ears of the two people standing there. The resentful woman turned into a shrew in an instant, and she seemed to be determined not to let them leave unless they explained clearly.
Unfortunately, her condition couldn't withstand the torment he had endured.
Xie Lingxu is the director of the sanatorium after all, and Su Yin also wants to bring the person from Courtyard No. 1 into the group. It is not easy for both of them to just leave, so they can only stalemate with the person on the ground.
In the strange atmosphere, Su Yin looked at Xie Lingxu, then at Ji Qingqing, and her mind suddenly twitched: "Don't worry, you are the elder and he is the younger."
