Chapter 98

==================

However, Xie Tingyun didn't know what he was worried about. Hearing this, he just looked at him in surprise and then said, "Really?"

"I'm tired of saying 'do what you say'," Ning said solemnly.

Xie Tingyun couldn't just sit there and watch Ning Chen die, so he didn't dwell on it. He was silent for a moment, still unable to laugh, and sighed softly, then reached out and pushed Ning Chen into Yunfeng Pavilion.

Ning Chen entered Yunfeng Pavilion as if he were entering his own home. He had become as skilled at this as he was at touching Xie Tingyun's storage ring.

He was not at all shy. He found a cushion and sat down as soon as he entered. The night pearl in the Yunfeng Pavilion automatically lit up with a soft light, making Ning Chen feel a little drowsy.

Xie Tingyun patted him lightly, cast a few cleansing spells on Ning Chen, and said, "Take off your outer clothes and go upstairs. It's too late, it's already daybreak, don't take a bath."

For some reason, Ning Chen felt sleepy as soon as he entered the Yunfeng Pavilion to rest. Maybe it was the night owl's sleep time, so Ning Chen yawned and was about to get up and walk to the bed.

However, at this moment he suddenly thought of something, turned around and looked at Xie Tingyun who was sober and said: "...Didn't you drink too much and have a headache?"

No matter how you look at Xie Tingyun, he doesn't look like he's drunk.

Xie Tingyun's bewildered and dull expression and the pressing of his temples in front of the Demon Palace seemed to be fleeting, and it had not appeared since Ning Chen was tricked into coming to Liuyun Sect.

Ning Chen pushed Xie Tingyun onto the bed while muttering to himself in confusion, "...You can't be lying to me, right?"

Xie Tingyun looked calm and said slowly, "What good am I? Why would I lie to you?"

Ning Chen thought about it and said, "...That's right."

Xie Tingyun would not lie in this regard. He did not pretend to be weak and fall into his arms. The confusion and discomfort that were revealed inadvertently were the most real.

Besides, there was no benefit for Xie Tingyun to deceive him. Why did he trick him to Yunfeng Pavilion? To trick him into sharing half of Xie Tingyun's bed?

You must be out of your mind. This is obviously not something a normal person would do.

So Ning Chen urged Xie Tingyun to take off his coat and go to bed quickly. However, Xie Tingyun's clothes today were complicated and formal, so dressing and undressing them must be more complicated than usual. It was not something that could be done by just urging him.

Ning Chen was so preoccupied with thinking about Xie Tingyun's drunkenness that he had a headache, which ended up making him even more furious. In the end, he couldn't help but start to carefully remove Xie Tingyun's hair crown.

Xie Tingyun was finally a little surprised: "You actually know this?"

Ning Chen: “…”

Ning Chen's technique was not very experienced, but it was not too unfamiliar either. He was silent for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "I am a road idiot, not an idiot. How many times do you want me to tell you this?"

“…”

Xie Tingyun turned his back to him and his shoulders trembled slightly.

Ning Chen angrily said: "Still laughing?!"

What qualifications do you have to laugh, Xie Tingyun! !

Xie Tingyun took a deep breath and almost couldn't help laughing out loud in front of Ning Chen.

Fortunately, Xie Tingyunguan was able to control his facial expressions, so Ning Chen didn't get any evidence against him.

However, as Ning Chen was taking off Xie Tingyun's silver crown and the silver chain hanging in his hair, he inexplicably thought: Come to think of it, this silver chain is quite similar to the silver ornament on his lapel.

However, in Xie Tingyun's work, snow-white is the ubiquitous background color, with silver chains and light blue sapphires used as embellishments, making it look very noble.

The silver ornament on Ning Chen's collar was silver-white in color, with rubies dotted around the eyes, which unexpectedly matched Xie Tingyun's clothing.

He seemed to be lightly brushed by the vast snow, leaving a little white mark intentionally or unintentionally, more like an obscure yet clear mark, announcing everything to everyone who passed by and saw it.

Ning Chen found that he seemed... not to reject it.

Ning Chen was shocked by his own thoughts, and the next moment he couldn't help but scold himself for being too sentimental with a little regret.

It's just a gift from someone else, but you can think so much about it. There's really no hope for you.

With Ning Chen's help, Xie Tingyun quickly took off all the complicated accessories and outer clothes on his body. The snow-white inner clothes were dazzlingly soft. It was as if all the sharp edges of this person were shed, and the soft side was only revealed in front of Ning Chen.

Xie Tingyun pulled Ning Chen up with his backhand and said, "You sleep inside."

Ning Chen said, "No. You sleep inside."

Xie Tingyun said: "It's just a position, why do you want to fight with me? You didn't get up earlier than me."

Ning Chen said as a matter of course: "I'll just stay for one night. This time I will definitely get up earlier than you, okay."

“…”

Xie Tingyun lowered his eyes, remained silent for a while, then responded softly, saying, "Okay."

Afterwards, he did not argue with Ning Chen anymore. He compromised very obediently and then curled up in the depths of the bed.

Seeing Ning Chen made me feel depressed again.

He didn't know why he felt so depressed, but he instinctively felt that Xie Tingyun's state didn't seem very lively.

This is totally different from the Xie Tingyun he usually is.

It was as if he realized that his joy was in vain... He finally couldn't help but reveal a little clue, but he quickly realized that it was inappropriate and restrained himself in an instant.

Ning Shen let out a long sigh, then he reached out and carried Xie Tingyun, who had shrunk into the bed, out a little, then he resigned himself to his fate and rolled into the inner position.

Xie Tingyun was startled by the sudden appearance of Tengkong. He tensed up and tightened his grip on Ning Chen's arm.

When he saw what Ning Chen had done, he couldn't help but laugh and cry, and said, "Why did you give up so suddenly? You weren't like this before."

Ning Chen used to fight him no matter what, and he would show off proudly every time he defeated him.

Ning Chen pulled the quilt over his head and said nonchalantly, "No, I don't want to sleep outside. You want to compromise and sleep inside? No way."

Isn't it just an outside position? Just give it to him. It's no big deal. It doesn't matter where he sleeps. After all, it was Xie Tingyun who took in this old enemy who had no good bed to sleep in. Isn't it only right for Xie Tingyun to sleep wherever he wants?

Xie Tingyun: "..."

Xie Tingyun couldn't help but laugh.

He was both angry and amused, and didn't know how to say that he didn't want the position on the outside.

So stupid.

Xie Tingyun sighed softly and said, "Ning Chen. You are really stupid."

Ning Chen: “…”

Ning Chen couldn't stand it anymore: "I've already given you the outer side, why are you still cursing at me?"

Xie Tingyun: "..."

Xie Tingyun was annoyed: "It's my fault, go to sleep."

Please.

“…”

The Yunfeng Pavilion became quiet.

It was actually already dawning outside, but the windows in the Yunfeng Pavilion were closed, the light-blocking cloud curtains were drawn, and the night-shining pearls in the hall were completely extinguished, creating an artificially dark environment in the entire hall.

After a while, Xie Tingyun heard a deep voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Xie Tingyun. I am not stupid."

Xie Tingyun closed his eyes and no longer tried to argue with him about whether he was stupid or not. He said, "Yeah."

Ning Chen sighed and said, "Perfunctory."

"..." Xie Tingyun then said: "Okay, you are not stupid."

Ning was silent for a moment. He stared at Xie Tingyun's thin back in the darkness and whispered, "I won't leave."

Xie Tingyun paused for a moment.

It was just two short words, but both of them knew exactly what the sentence meant and what it was answering.

Ning Chen said to himself, "I will stay here to eat and drink your food. When I get bored, I will tie knots on your Wind Riding Sword. You will untie the knots. If you get angry, I will not comfort you."

Anyway, there is still some time before the secret realm of Qingpanjiao is opened, so it’s no harm to stay here. It also perfectly solves his problems of where to go and boredom!

Xie Tingyun: “…………”

Chengfeng: “…………”

Chengfeng leaned against the head of the bed, angrily unsheathing and closing his sword repeatedly, making clanging sounds to express his anger and protest.

Xie Tingyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He stretched out his hand to hold Chengfeng down. Chengfeng then aggrievedly stretched out the tassel of his sword to wrap around Xie Tingyun's hand and didn't move.

Xie Tingyun's breathing was a little disordered.

He didn't know how to suppress his emotions for a moment, and could only let the emotions in his heart roar like a tidal wave.

Xie Tingyun's throat rolled over, and he wanted to say, "You are not stupid, you are actually more intelligent than anyone else."

He wanted to say, Ning Chen, why do you always make people love and hate you?

But when the words came to the tip of my tongue, I couldn't say them.

Xie Tingyun's throat was blocked, and his voice might even change pitch when he opened his mouth.

He then silently buried himself a little deeper into the quilt.

This person.

This person always looks so nonchalant, as if nothing in the world can ever catch his attention.

Apart from tranquility, Xie Tingyun basically had everything he wanted in his life.

Loved by teachers and respected by fellow students. Cultivation realm, resources and treasures.

He lacks nothing.

But Xie Tingyun would still pretend to be indifferent and change his mind when Ning Chen said he would not leave, and he could not help but tremble.

That's too hypocritical, Xie Tingyun thought.

But...he really couldn't resist it at all.

It was like this when I was a child, and it is still like this when I grow up.

He is just a greedy and useless kid. He was thinking about this person when he was young, and he is still thinking about this person when he grows up.

Ning Chen noticed that Xie Tingyun was shaking slightly for some reason. He sighed and said in confusion, "...Xie Tingyun?"

Xie Tingyun took a deep breath and said in a hoarse voice: "Yeah."

“…”

Xie Tingyun said: "You are not stupid."

Ning Chen was very satisfied.

Xie Tingyun calmed down, made sure he couldn't see anything unusual, then turned around.

He stared into Ning Chen's dark red eyes and whispered, "Ning Chen."

Ning Chen: "Hmm?"

Xie Tingyun lowered his eyes and said, "We are just friends?"

His intuition told him that Ning Chen's attitude towards him was different from that of an ordinary friend.

With Ning Chen's personality, the most he could make friends with were those who would fight with him. He rarely saw Ning Chen treat someone so... specially.

Even if that person is himself.

"...Yes," Ning Chen felt that he had asked himself this question once before, and said in confusion, "Isn't it?"

Xie Tingyun: "..."

He must be crazy to expect Ning Chen to find out something.

If he is not sure, then he will create his own certainty.

Xie Tingyun turned over again in anger, and finally gave up and covered himself with the quilt like Ning Shen, mumbling, "How stupid."

Ning Chen: “…”

Ning Chen: “???”

Why are you scolding me again?!
