The Blue Water Tower was finally taken back!
Shui Yao and Lan Yi stood in the backyard of Lanshui Tower, which was separated from the Lanshui Clinic by only a wall. At the foot of the wall, a plum tree was blooming proudly in the snow, with branches crossing over the wall. The cold fragrance of the flowers wafted in the cool air.
"Here!" Shuiyao spoke softly, pointing at the roots of the plum tree. This plum tree grows at the junction of Lanshui Tower and Lanshui Clinic. Yinglu will like this place!
"Yes!" Lan Yi lowered his eyes and took out the shovel he had prepared.
"Let me do it!" Shui Yao whispered, her face was calm and she didn't look sad, but her eyes were dark and deep. "You go down first, I want to be alone with Yinglu!"
Lan nodded, handed the shovel to Shui Yao, bowed, and turned to leave.
Standing under the plum tree, the wind blows gently, and the snow on the tree flutters like butterflies, falling on your cheeks with a touch of coolness.
Shuiyao bent down, took off the brocade bag on her body and put it aside. She used a shovel to shovel the frozen soil bit by bit while talking to Yinglu, chatting with her, just like the simple life they used to live, as if nothing had changed...
"Yinglu, rest in peace. I will avenge you. Just wait for me!" Bending over, placing Yinglu's ashes in the fresh soil, Shuiyao grabbed a handful of fresh soil and gently covered the jade-colored brocade bag.
Yue Nanchen jumped down from the roof and watched the woman's movements silently, with faint starlight flowing in his black eyes. He did not disturb her, but watched silently, took a deep breath, and his anxious heart finally calmed down slowly.
Her black hair was still like a waterfall. She bent over and whispered to Yinglu in a low voice. Occasionally, she showed a calm, elegant, charming smile, which was so beautiful that it was simply shocking.
Feeling the man's breath, looking back coldly
After taking a look at the man in the distance, Shui Yao lowered her eyes, picked up a shovel, and filled the newly turned frozen soil bit by bit until the ground was completely flat. She stopped.
Yue Nanchen strode forward and called softly, "Yao'er!" After that, he raised his hand as if to touch Shui Yao's hair, where a red plum blossom fell on the edge of her hair.
Shui Yao glanced at him indifferently, took two steps back, kept a distance from him, and said indifferently, "Yuen Nanchen, this is my private place. I don't care if you are the King of Yongnan or not, you have no right to come in!"
Yue Nanchen was stunned, his fingers froze in mid-air, and the gentle smile on his face froze, "Yao'er, are you still blaming me? Can I explain?"
Lan Shuiyao turned away coldly, as if she hadn't heard him, and shouted loudly, "Lan Yi, get him out!"
Yue Nanchen's eyes darkened, and he rushed forward and grabbed her arm. Perhaps because of excitement or because of the hasty movements, he suddenly coughed.
Shui Yao just looked at him coldly. Her thick and long eyelashes trembled violently at his violent coughing, but she quickly regained her composure.
After an unknown amount of time, Yue Nanchen finally stopped coughing. Shui Yao gently raised her head, a glimmer in her eyes, drawing a strong but not intense arc, like the fleeting beauty of the withered lotus in late autumn, fleeting, without a trace of emotion, "You go!"
Yue Nanchen never let go of her arm, "Yao'er, do you remember? You told me not to carry it alone, to speak out if I have anything to say, and not to assume that everyone in this world can understand me.
I'm telling you now, I have nothing to do with Xiangze. She suddenly jumped out and I was not prepared at all. She was injured because of me. Now the Miro Kingdom is eyeing them covetously. I can't let her
Miro Country has an opportunity to take advantage of, so I..."
Shui Yao raised her head calmly, lazily playing with her hair in front of her, and said word by word in an extremely calm tone: "Are you done? If you are, you can leave now!"
Yue Nanchen shook his head, "No, I haven't finished! I've been waiting for you here for a day and a night, just to hear you say something, Yao'er, tell me, are you mad at me for caring about Xiangze, right? You like me in your heart, right?"
Shui Yao raised her eyes and looked at him coldly. Suddenly, the corners of her sexy lips curled up lazily.
"Yuen Nanchen, you are being too sentimental. When did I ever like you? I made it very clear that day that I have repaid your kindness. We will have nothing to do with each other from now on. It's that simple!"
"No, it's not!" Yue Nanchen tightly grasped her arm, trying hard to hold back the surging blood. "You are lying, you are lying. You are angry at me for being nice to Xiangze because you like me. It's ridiculous that I only know this now! Yao'er, please don't be angry with me anymore, okay? I have finally waited for this day, I..."
Yue Nanchen really didn't know how to describe his feelings at this moment. He was so excited to be crazy after confirming Shui Yao's feelings, but he was also very scared. He made Shui Yao sad, and based on Shui Yao's personality, she would not forgive him so easily!
"I told you that you are just being sentimental!" Shui Yao sneered. No matter whether Yue Nanchen did it for Nanyue or for some other reason, she would never forget the anger and heartache at that moment. She didn't understand why she fell in love with Yue Nanchen.
However, this restless heart stopped beating from the moment she left Louxi Kingdom. Now she just wanted to live her own life, a life that was not simple, not ordinary, but a life in which she could travel the world with honor!
Yue Nanchen shook his head. He didn't know how to make the water
In a hurry, he stretched out his hand, held Shui Yao in his arms, and leaned over to kiss her lips. Perhaps at this moment, only his kiss and his heart could make her understand and forgive!
"Pa!" A crisp slapping sound was heard, shocking Lan Yi so much that he didn't dare to get close and just watched from a distance.
Yue Nanchen looked at Lan Shuiyao in disbelief. She actually hit him again! In this life, he was beaten by the same woman twice. The first time was when they were hostile to each other. He was only angry, but this time, there was no anger, only sadness and loss.
Really, is it irreparable? Can't his relationship with Yao'er withstand even a little bit of ups and downs?
Shui Yao looked at him coldly and said word by word, "Yuen Nanchen, if you dare to pester me again, I won't be polite anymore!"
The man closed his eyes, feeling the painful blood flowing through his body bit by bit. He didn't even have the courage to look at the woman's departing back. He just felt waves of severe pain coming from his internal organs.
He just stood there blankly, using the last bit of his strength to support his body...
Am I really going to lose Yao'er?
I don't know when it started snowing again, not just a few spots, but a heavy snow. The snowflakes fell on the man's clothes. At first, they could be melted by the man's body temperature, but in the end, they accumulated more and more, and the thick snow covered the man's black clothes.
Shui Yao did not leave. Lanshui Tower was going to reopen, and she had a lot of things to do. There was also Wuxing Palace. The martial arts of those girls were good enough to deal with a few guards, but if she met a real martial arts master, she would still have to rely on her musket and explosives.
Now the reputation of Wuxing Palace has spread. As the saying goes, a big tree attracts the wind, and there will be more to face in the future!
Lan Yi kept looking out the window and wanted to speak several times.
But looking at Shui Yao's cold face, Lan Yi still said nothing.
"Lan Yi, go and see how their martial arts training is going!" Shui Yao ordered coldly and took a stack of blueprints. This was the military factory she was going to build. If she wanted to cultivate and expand her power, muskets and explosives were indispensable!
"Yes, master!" Lan Yi bowed and left quickly.
Looking at the drawings intently, Shui Yao tried desperately to tell herself that the man in the yard had nothing to do with her anymore, but her mind was still a little uneasy. Finally, she threw the drawings on the table, stood up in an upset state, and resisted the urge to look back before turning around and leaving.
Although it was only evening, she really wanted to go to sleep. Once she fell asleep, she wouldn't have to think about anything!
The snow was getting heavier, and as the sky darkened, the wind became more and more biting. Yue Nanchen closed his eyes and felt his head was heavy and his body seemed to be frozen. Even the breath he exhaled was cold...
In the room of Lanshui Clinic, Shuiyao was lying comfortably on the couch.
The couch was covered with a fox fur cushion given by Leng Yichen, which was soft and warm. The heater in the corner was burning, and the faint curl of hot air slowly made the whole room feel like spring. The goose-feather-sized snowflakes fell on the window, but were soon evaporated by the heat in the room.
The sky gradually darkened. Lan Yi brought in the food and then stood respectfully at the door, waiting for Shui Yao's instructions.
Braised eggplant, pickled fish, and spicy and sour bullfrog are all dishes that Shuiyao likes to eat in modern times. Although she doesn't know how to cook them, she roughly knows how to make them. After selling the recipes of these dishes to Yueji Restaurant, the largest restaurant in Nanyue, the restaurant will provide free takeout whenever Shuiyao wants to eat them.
"Lan Yi, come in and eat with me!" Shui Yao called lazily.
