Chapter 511 No need for logic
Chu Lixuan looked at her deeply and said nothing.

In the dim room, the two people looked at each other, like an invisible competition.

Ning Muqing provoked, "Tell me! What did you do when you jumped down? Wouldn't it be better to let me die? I'll save you a lot of trouble!"

Chu Lixuan's thin lips pursed into a thin line, and his eyes became darker.

"You can't say it, can you?"

Ning Muqing seemed to see through his mind and smiled slightly sarcastically, "You want me to say something you don't want to say yourself? You said that I should be happy that you are dead? It's ridiculous! Yes! I really don't want to continue to be with you. Be a couple!

It is true that I think about living my own life with you and away from you all the time! But I’m not expecting you to die just yet! Who are you insulting by thinking this way about me?

Even if I, Ning Muqing, want to reconcile with you, I will do so in an upright and upright manner! You were poisoned because you saved me, so I expected you to die? Then who have I become? ! "

Why did he speculate on her like this?

A strange color flashed through the man's gloomy eyes, and he was about to speak.

Ning Muqing took two steps back and said impatiently, "You don't need to test me. No matter what, I am responsible for your poisoning. I will find a way to get you the antidote, that's it!"

She turned to leave.

Chu Lixuan grabbed her and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Go back to the caravan where I'm staying." Ning Muqing twisted her wrist, but didn't shake it away.

She said displeasedly, "Now that all the investigations have been completed, this fake county magistrate is dead, and you don't want to go directly to the Chen Guo caravan, then why are you still here? You go back to your house, and I'll go back to mine." caravan."

"Aren't you going back with me?" Chu Lixuan frowned.

"How can I go back with my current face?" Ning Muqing asked, "Go back and let everyone recognize me?"

Chu Lixuan, "Are you afraid of being recognized by others?"

"Yes, I'm afraid!"

Ning Muqing's anger was still lingering, and she said expressionlessly, "You think I'm hoping that you will die in order not to reveal my identity, so I'm afraid that everyone will recognize me as Princess Ning, isn't that right?"

Chu Lixuan, ""

He frowned and said, "I didn't say that."

"But that's what it means!"

Ning Muqing continued to twist her wrist, "Anyway, you have your plan, and I have mine. Now that we know and feel the same way, you don't have to worry about me running away. There's no need to act together, just do our own thing." ”

Chu Lixuan's big hand tightened and held her wrist tightly.

Ning Muqing ignored him and lowered her head to compete with his hand.

The harder I try, the harder it becomes to break it apart.

Chu Lixuan looked at her pursed lips and would rather break his hand than ask him to let go. This kind of meaningless suffocation was the only thing she could do.

But he still looked like "I'm not angry".

Chu Lixuan found it funny, "Is it so difficult for you to open your mouth?"

Ning Muqing paused and looked up, "Then why don't you speak?"

Chu Lixuan raised his eyebrows, "I think you should speak first."

"Why?" Ning Muqing asked quickly.

"Just" Chu Lixuan leaned down slightly and looked at her intently, "you don't want me to die."

Ning Muqing knew that what he said wasn't something as trivial as asking him to let go of his hand.

Rather, it is her intention.

Or.

——Her feelings for him.

Chu Lixuan was not a slow person. Even if Ning Muqing wanted to hide it, there were some things that he couldn't hide.

But being unable to hide it and admitting it personally are two different things.

Adult feelings are sometimes like an invisible battle filled with smoke.

Everyone wants to be the winner, and no one is willing to admit defeat.

As a result, the other person's feelings become a kind of bargaining chip, a back and forth of temptations, ambiguous confrontations, swings between trust and suspicion, both closeness and distance.

What's more, there are too many things mixed up between them, such as the substitute marriage, the fact that he almost killed Ning Muqing in Chenxing Palace, and the secrets Ning Muqing herself hides.

These are things that cannot be fully confessed, at least not yet.

Ning Muqing refused to speak.

Chu Lixuan was unwilling to admit it.

It's as if whoever opens the mouth first has put in more feelings, and it's like losing.

After all.

Still not trusting enough.

Ning Muqing felt a little chill in her heart. She raised her head and looked at Chu Lixuan quietly, "I really don't want you to die."

Surprise flashed in Chu Lixuan's eyes, as if he didn't expect her to admit it.

But before he could react.

She added, "It's just like you never killed me, and you didn't want me to die."

Chu Lixuan, "..."

Ning Muqing looked at him, "We are all the same."

What I think of you is the same thing you think of me.

and so.

You didn't win, and I didn't lose either.

Still a draw.

Chu Lixuan understood what she meant in an instant and almost laughed angrily.

"Is it so difficult for you to admit it? What are you worried about?" Ning Muqing said lightly, "Aren't I worried about the same things as you? Why don't you want to admit it? That's why I am. It's as simple as that."

It was impossible for her to be the first to confess her feelings and let Chu Lixuan take advantage of her.

Emotions are a woman's biggest weakness. Once emotions are involved, no matter how hard-hearted you are, there will inevitably be flaws.

And once there is a flaw, Chu Lixuan will find out the clues sooner or later.

How will she explain it then?

People's hearts often cannot stand the test.

Does Chu Lixuan really have no doubts about her current identity?
She doesn't believe it.

Therefore, she couldn't say anything.

Once he admits his feelings, is it possible for Chu Lixuan to let her go?

He will only invade/possess her more wantonly and control her more powerfully. He cannot tolerate any concealment or deception from her, and cannot even trust him wholeheartedly.

There was only one possibility, that Chu Lixuan truly fell in love with her. There was deep affection and trust between the two, which was enough to resolve his hatred and resentment towards her former identity. Only then did Ning Muqing have the courage to fully confess.

But is this possible?
Chu Lixuan is not a man who is easily tempted.

What's more, there is a lack of trust between them. Chu Lixuan is always suspicious of her, and she cannot fully confess. This is a vicious cycle.

Ning Muqing has long seen the gap between her and Chu Lixuan clearly.

It was a fruitless thing from the beginning, so why bother talking about it and exposing your weakness for nothing? The room fell silent for a moment.

Ning Muqing breathed slowly, smelling the pungent smell of poisonous blood, and suppressed her emotions.

She said calmly, "Let's stop here. This is not the place to talk. Leave first and then talk."

Chu Lixuan suddenly asked, "Why don't you want me to die?"

Ning Muqing was a little impatient, "Why do you have to ask this kind of question? I've already said, why you are why I am why! What else is there to ask?"

The last word has not yet been spoken.

Chu Lixuan said, "I don't want you to die because I like you. I don't know when I started to dream about you."

Ning Muqing's breath hitched, "..."

The expression on her face went blank.

"A man wants to protect a woman, and a husband wants to protect his wife. What else can be the reason other than to feel happy?"

Chu Lixuan held her hand and looked at her with deep eyes, "I thought you would understand such a simple reason even if you didn't say it, but I didn't expect that you would use this to detour me.

Tell me, what's the reason for this? "

"..."

Ning Muqing looked at him blankly, looking into the man's bottomless eyes.

Those dark and cold eyes told her.

He means it.

He spoke seriously and asked questions seriously.

Like a sharp knife, it finally broke through the window paper unbearably and pointed it brightly in front of her.

Ask her why she wants to escape?

What are you running from?
Ning Muqing couldn't answer.

She panicked and wanted to take back her hand, turning her head to avoid his sight, "You don't need to tell me this, anyway..."

Chu Lixuan tightened his grip on her wrist and pulled her closer to him, "You haven't answered me yet!"

"I..." Ning Muqing was speechless for a moment, lowering her head and her thoughts were racing.

Chu Lixuan looked at her trembling eyelashes and raised his eyebrows dangerously, "Are you looking for excuses to fool me again?"

Ning Muqing, "..."

"You try to fool me again!" Chu Lixuan said calmly.

Ning Muqing, "..."

She was a little weak in a rare way, and said calmly, "I didn't fool you."

"Then tell me!" Chu Lixuan was a little displeased, "No one can kill anyone with such ink marks as you!"

"..."

He's such a metaphorical genius comparing killing people to something like this.

Ning Muqing was forced to the line and felt agitated for a moment. She blurted out, "Didn't you want to admit it before? Why did you suddenly..."

Before she finished speaking, she knew she had made a mistake and closed her mouth tightly.

Chu Lixuan snorted coldly, "I know you are pretending to be stupid! If you hadn't been shrinking like a turtle and refused to show your head, would I be able to compete with you?"

Ning Muqing choked, "Don't you like me? Why are you still scolding me?"

How can anyone confess love in one sentence and then call his sweetheart a turtle in the next sentence?
Chu Lixuan looked at her, "Aren't you?"

Ning Muqing turned her head, and after a few seconds, she turned her head again.

She whispered, ""

"What did you say? Louder." Chu Lixuan said.

Ning Muqing was furious, "It's so quiet here, you can obviously hear me!"

Chu Lixuan said, “Can’t hear you, please speak louder!”

"I'm asking you, what do you like about me?" Ning Muqing gritted her teeth, "I really didn't see that you liked me at all!"

Chu Lixuan said inexplicably, "I like my princess, but I still need to find a reason? What kind of logic is this?"

"..."
