Chapter 16 Chapter 16 But Mu Yang did not take his wine away...
Mu Yang didn't take his wine, tea, or various exquisite snacks with him. The aroma of the osmanthus wine was so faint that it reached Li Yian's nose.
This aroma has a very refreshing sweet-scented osmanthus scent. The sweet-scented osmanthus combined with the fermented rice wine has an extremely refreshing smell, which is very suitable for the weather in early autumn. Coupled with the gentle breeze and the colorful falling petals of the flowers, this scene is really suitable for a sip of wine.
Li Yian, feeling frustrated and embarrassed, put her fist to her lips and coughed dryly. She looked at Mu Yang, who had already walked away. She then walked to the stone table, took an empty cup, and then picked up the bamboo wine pot and poured a small cup of osmanthus wine into the cup.
This sweet-scented osmanthus wine looked clear and transparent, yet its fragrance was tangy. She raised the cup and took a sip. It was mellow, sweet, and slightly spicy, like a warm current flowing from her throat into her stomach. Her pretty face flushed slightly, and after drinking it, the sweetness and sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance still lingered in her mouth.
Li Yian, who was always serious, suddenly opened his eyes wide.
"Li Yian!" A rough voice sounded not far away.
Li Yian hid the wine glass behind her back with a guilty conscience. She turned around and saw that it was Qi Yang. She glared at him and said, "Don't shout my name so loudly in public!" As long as Qi Yang called her name, she would attract a lot of people's attention. She really wanted to cover her face and pretend that she didn't know him.
Qi Yang seemed to have just finished his work at the Mu family and returned to the Theological Society. His hair was tied high in a bun, and his shorts were soaked with sweat. He was breathing heavily. He took the wine glass from Li Yian and rolled his eyes at her. "What did you do to make me feel guilty? You're so scared."
He picked up the bamboo wine pot, filled the cup with osmanthus wine, and drank it all in one gulp. Then he lowered his head and looked at Li Yian, who was only as tall as his chin. "It's spread all over the martial arts academy. It's said that Mu Yang brought you some water. I told you before, that boy definitely likes you."
After finishing a cup of osmanthus wine, he widened his already small eyes in shock, "Wonderful, this wine..."
Li Yian took back the wine glass and glanced at him expressionlessly, "Mu Yang doesn't like mine."
She didn't know what Qi Yang's eyes were. Mu Yang looked like a virtuous young wife, and it was obvious that he liked men. Moreover, she and Mu Yang were clearly incompatible and had a bad relationship. They spent very little time together, and their relationship was only slightly better than strangers. There was no emotional foundation, so how could she like him?
Qi Yang saw Li Yian's contemptuous look and couldn't help but laugh, "That's not necessarily true. Maybe there's something wrong with Mu Yang's eyes."
Li Yian's fists hardened, but he endured it, barely suppressing the urge to hit him, and had to change the subject, "What did the High Priest assign you to do?"
In fact, Qi Yang has no role in this novel, and it can even be said that the character Qi Yang does not appear at all. Li Yian always stays away from the protagonists or supporting characters in the novels because she does not want to be associated with the plot. Qi Yang is the first friend she has made a real friend of.
Although Qi Yang always seems to be out of tune and likes to criticize her all the time, he is a relatively stable and reliable person.
Because of Li Yian's casual suggestion, the High Priest had transferred Qi Yang to the Mu Mansion to investigate the evil. This was like Li Yian forcibly dragging Qi Yang into the plot. She felt a little uneasy, afraid that Qi Yang would encounter some disaster in the future. Thinking of this, she felt a little guilty.
Qi Yang didn't notice Li Yian's guilty look. He stroked his chin and thought, "I'm helping to set up the demon-catching formation. This formation is a bit complicated and will probably take a few days to complete. So during this time, you and the Prince Warrior should work hard to protect Mu Yang."
"Demon-catching array?" Li Yian was stunned. He had never heard of this thing.
Qi Yang scratched his head awkwardly. "This is the first time I've heard of this either. I'm just helping the teachers, so I'm not sure if it's any use. But I'm certain the evil lurking within the Mu family won't be easy to deal with."
Li Yian lowered his eyes and sighed silently.
Mu Yang sat under the quiet pavilion of the Wenyuan Academy. There was a guqin on the stone table in front of him. He was plucking the strings lightly with a distracted look on his face.
This pavilion was located in the most remote part of the Academy of Literature, nestled in a bamboo forest. Behind the bamboo forest was a wall, and behind the wall was a remote forest that didn't belong to the Theological Society. Few people usually came here. He usually came here to play the piano when he was feeling down.
But the sound of the piano could not soothe his frustrated heart.
"Li Xuan, is it impossible for her and I to get along well?" he asked dejectedly.
However, he did not get a response from Li Xuan. He knew that Li Xuan was always near him, but Li Xuan never took the initiative to appear in front of him, nor did he pay much attention to what he said.
"Can't you and I get along?" he murmured to himself.
He had wanted to prepare some delicious snacks to treat them and thank them for protecting him, but Li Xuan never showed up, and Li Yian said frankly that he was not hungry or thirsty.
Mu Yang stopped plucking the strings in disappointment, and the beautiful music came to an abrupt end.
