Rebirth: The Gatekeeper
Chapter 172
The tightly knit brows slowly relaxed, Mei Ningxuan slowly raised his eyes to look at the guilty expression of the girl opposite, his deep and foggy eyes moved, and at first glance, it seemed to be gentle waves rippling, so gentle .
But anyone who sees such gentle eyes will be heartbroken, right?
Bei Tangjin's heart was indeed agitated, but it wasn't tempting, it was panic. She could even feel her fingers and thighs trembling slightly.But she concealed it very well, lowering her eyes, as if she was not moved at all.
"Jin'er, your suspicion is too serious, this will not be your help, but a burden, affecting your judgment." Mei Ningxuan sighed slightly, and comforted her.
That's right, she is indeed very suspicious. Her position does not allow her to make the slightest mistake. How could she not be suspicious?
"Brother, do you have someone to protect?" Bei Tangjin's expression moved slightly.
He was fixed on looking at her, seeing her sudden change of expression in his eyes, he smiled lightly, his voice was so sure and gentle, and said: "Yes.
"
Bei Tangjin looked at him in surprise. She wanted to wait for him to say no, and then continue her own words to fight back against him. Why should she be so cautious, but she didn't expect him to answer like this.
That person is dead, who is the person he wants to protect?
"Who is it?" She asked naturally.
But he lowered his head slightly, watching the tea leaves floating in the teacup, the heat slowly diffused, his eyes were a little dazed, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said after a while: "One day, you will know."
"I'm not afraid of life and death, but I want to save this life to avenge and protect the person I want to protect, senior brother, do you understand?" Bei Tangjin knew that Mei Ningxuan didn't want to name that person, but this was his It's not easy for her to get to the bottom of her personal affairs.
Therefore, she wanted to explain to him that her caution and suspicion were not superfluous, but necessary.
"I know." He said calmly, the expression on his face returned to calm, and those slightly smiling eyes became more and more calm.
Bei Tangjin was stunned.
Seeing her expression, Mei Ningxuan smiled again, and said: "I know that you are wary of everyone around you, you will be worried about every tiny detail, and you will be jealous of everyone who takes the initiative to approach you." A vigilant heart. I know that you have never had a peaceful sleep, and you have never had a delicious meal. I know that you have not avenged your revenge, and you are uneasy in the face of a powerful enemy. I know that you are eager to take revenge, but you dare not act rashly. helplessness and hatred... But Jin'er, you didn't have to do all of this alone..."
The more he spoke, the more moved his expression became, and the softer his affectionate eyes seemed to be filled with spring water, moving gently.
However, he immediately stopped talking, and looked at the person in front of him in a panic, as if he was worried that she would be shocked.
Bei Tangjin looked at Mei Ningxuan in shock, her expression was extremely complicated, and she couldn't tell whether she was moved or surprised.She looked at the other party for a long while before saying: "Brother, do you feel the same way?"
Mei Ningxuan moved his eyes, nodded silently, and admitted it.
Bei Tangjin smiled lightly, as if she was slightly moved, but also somewhat moved, a wry smile slipped across her lips, and said, "Senior brother and I are both hard-fated people... I thought too much... "Her voice was getting softer.
It seems to be talking to myself, and it seems to be talking to Mei Ningxuan.
Mei Ningxuan looked at her in amazement, seeing her desolate expression and bitter eyes, he couldn't help feeling affectionate and moved.
Is she not guarding against him anymore?
Want to see through?
Mei Ningxuan couldn't help thinking this way.
At this time, Qiurong had already fetched the tea leaves and water, and prepared the boiled tea equipment.
Bei Tangjin took the small jar of chrysanthemums with extremely elegant glaze from Qiu Rong, and introduced to Mei Ningxuan: "This was picked from the red plums in Jingchan Nunnery a few months ago, and it has been buried under the roots of hibiscus flowers. Presumably, that scent is stronger."
She smiled lightly, changed from her usual slightly fearful look, and became a little softer, which surprised Mei Ningxuan for a moment, and after only a moment, he said: "Jin'er is really a very caring person."
A very clear voice sounded.
Bei Tangjin poured the snow water from the small jar into the purple sand, and then placed it on top of the already burning charcoal fire.
Mei Ningxuan saw her extremely ornately decorated sleeves floating slowly, like tassels, with every movement, her movements were smooth and fluid. After a while, Bei Tangjin said again: "I don't know when senior brother will leave?"
"It will be about half a month later."
It was an extremely shallow voice again, with no emotion at all.
Qiu Rong stood aside, looking at these two people strangely, for some reason, she thought of the phrase "respect each other as guests".If these two people get married, will they respect each other like this and raise their eyebrows?
Suddenly, she was taken aback by her own thoughts, and turned her eyes to her young lady, only to see that the face that was extremely stiff and defensive before she left was actually relaxed at this time, and there was a rare spring breeze on her face. Smile.
The young lady seldom laughed like this, Qiurong was a little distracted, and thought: Could it be that the young lady has figured it out?What the hell were these two talking about?Actually made the lady change her mind?
Seeing that the tea was already boiled, Bei Tangjin raised her fingers and took the teapot off the charcoal fire, and slowly poured it into the cup. After a while, she smelled a very refreshing fragrance, which was very faint but very fragrant. fresh.
Bei Tangjin handed a cup of tea to Mei Ningxuan with a smile, and said, "It's been a long time since I've played with these things, I'm afraid I'm a little rusty, brother, let's try to quench my thirst."
Mei Ningxuan smiled lightly, and said: "Jin'er is humble." He took a sip of the teacup as he spoke, and felt the tea enter his mouth, and the tea fragrance lingered on the tip of his tongue. Meixiang is indeed sweet and fragrant.
"The tea made by Jin'er is really delicious, no wonder the master is unforgettable in his mouth." Mei Ningxuan sincerely praised after taking a sip.
Bei Tangjin just smiled apologetically and said, "Brother, it's absurd praise, it's just that the master is used to this taste."
"Even if the second person uses this tea, the water may not be able to brew the taste." Mei Ningxuan sighed, as if feeling a little regretful.
But Bei Tangjin smiled and said, "If senior brother comes here often these few days, Jin'er will soak in senior brother's drink."
Mei Ningxuan looked slightly surprised. He looked at Bei Tangjin, only to see the faint smile on her face, so casual, but it still teased his mind, but soon, he felt a little strange, as if I felt that something was wrong, but after careful consideration, I couldn't think of anything wrong.
"If you can drink the tea that Jin'er brewed for a few more days, it will be a worthwhile trip." Mei Ningxuan quickly agreed.
Bei Tangjin just smiled slightly, lowering her eyes.
As the sun sets, the guests disperse.
Qiu Rong waited on Bei Tangjin to freshen up, wondering, "Why did the lady change her attitude towards Mr. Mei so quickly?"
Looking at herself in the bronze mirror, Bei Tangjin smiled slightly, that smile was the same as the one in front of Mei Ningxuan, Qiu Rong was even more surprised when she saw this smile, what's wrong with Miss?
"Qiu Rong, if this person is not from the same school as my teacher, I will get rid of him!"
Qiurong was even more astonished when he heard that icy voice and the still gentle smile of the beauty in the bronze mirror. Such a face actually said such words, their young lady...
"Then why is Miss like this today?" Qiu Rong was puzzled.
Bei Tangjin smiled and said: "Since he wants to treat me like this, I just agree to his kindness. Isn't this in line with his wishes?"
"Intention?" Qiurong looked at the sly smile of the person in the mirror in doubt, and became more and more puzzled.
Feng Xitang hurried back to the mansion, which surprised Yun Zhu and said: "My lord, why did you come back so early?"
Feng Xitang smiled very elegantly, as if he wasn't the one who panicked in Beitang Mansion just now.
"Yunzhu, next month seems to be a beautiful invitation, right?" Feng Xitang quickly leaned on the beauty's couch and said very leisurely.
Yunzhu was surprised and said, "My lord, didn't you say you were going to refuse? Why..."
A strange expression slowly appeared on Feng Xitang's face, as if his mind had been exposed, but he always smiled gracefully, so the strange expression was quickly replaced by an elegant smile, and said: "My veil was It’s ruined, and it just so happens that Jinxiu needs to be embroidered with a new one.”
Only then did Yunzhu understand, and said, "When will the young master set off?"
"Now you go and prepare things, we'll leave at night." Feng Xitang said very naturally, but he didn't know that there was a bit of urgency in his voice.
"Leaving at night? Don't you like traveling at night the most? Besides, don't you plan to wait for the dude?" Yunzhu became more and more strange. Why did his son become so strange today?
At this time, Feng Xitang remembered that Hua Jianyue hadn't been found yet, so she sighed deeply, with an unreasonable expression on her face, and said, "Is there any news about him?"
"Young Master Hua was thrown at the gate of the Duke of Qi's mansion today. I heard that he was not injured, but he was very haggard, as if he had suffered a lot." Thinking of the people from the Duke of Qi's mansion reporting the news today, Yun Zhu became very anxious. Said slowly.
"Suffering? Not being tortured?" Feng Xitang was extremely puzzled, her brows raised slightly.
"Yeah, the person looks yellow and thin, but there is no injury on his body, but somehow it happened." Yunzhu also thought this was extremely strange. Those people kidnapped Playboy, but they didn't force or kill him. Not to mention negotiating conditions with them, as if it was just to kidnap people and torture them.
"Oh..." After a while, a hint of understanding appeared on Feng Xitang's face, and then said: "Don't wait for him, you leave the letter, and he will catch up with us."
Yunzhu finally nodded and stepped back, at the same time she gave her young master a very weird look, but seeing that the person on the beauty's couch was still so calm and elegant, with a lazy and elegant posture, she really couldn't see anything.
Could it be that she was thinking too much?
Catch the night?What is the son in a hurry to do?
Yunzhu couldn't help thinking this way.
When Yunzhu withdrew, Feng Xitang's elegant posture could no longer be held back, his face became a little stiff and pale, he frowned deeply, stroked his chest, wondering in his heart, what happened to him?
