Chapter 386 Are You Still Going?

Only then did Chu Lin realize that he was still holding a kite in his hand, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was very stiff. After a while, he said in a daze, "Really?"

He seemed to be asking Xia Qiannian, but also seemed to be asking himself.

He put down the kite slowly, took a few steps forward, and said, "Let's go."

Xia Qiannian followed behind him in silence.

Except for talking about Gu Lianlian, he returned to the state of not saying a word before, his face was not so cold, but it was definitely not gentle.

An opera was being sung in the distance, and Chu Lin took Xia Qiannian to the theater, the play was at its climax, and the most exciting part, applauded one after another.

When Chulin raised her head, Xia Qiannian turned her head to look at him. The dim lights shone on his cheeks, making her even more incomprehensible.

This man can't figure it out. It seems that no matter how hard she tries, she can't understand his thoughts.

He will not easily let anyone approach his heart, and he will not easily express all his emotions.

Chulin suddenly lowered his head and glanced to the side, as if he was looking for something.

Xia Qiannian followed his gaze and saw only the dark crowd, so she asked suspiciously, "Your Majesty, what are you looking at?"

Chu Lin frowned slightly, then turned his gaze back, "I seem to have heard the voices of my uncle Huang and sister Mu."

"Really?" Xia Qiannian looked around, but did not see Xi Xun and Mu Jiujiu at all.

"You heard it wrong." Chu Lin said indifferently, and looked at the opera on stage again.

Mu Jiujiu asked Xixun to use his spiritual power to search for Chulin, and finally found the place where he and Xia Qiannian had watched the play before.

Mu Jiujiu was so angry that he gritted his teeth and scolded, "Xia Qiannian really sees the needles, I just leave for a while, and she can hook up with Chulin again!"

Xixun turned her head to look at her, did not express any opinion, pulled Mu Jiujiu, and quickly rushed to the stage. Among the crowd, she saw Chulin and Xia Qiannian at a glance.

Mu Jiujiu messed up his hair on purpose, bounced around for a while, then rushed behind Chu Lin, pretending to be out of breath and pulling him.

Surprised at the first arrival, he turned his head and saw Mu Jiujiu with a flustered face, "Sister Mu?"

Mu Jiujiu directly dragged him to a place where there was no one else, and Xi Xun also slowly appeared.

She said directly, pretending to be extremely urgent, "We went back to the inn just now and found that the empress is missing!"

Chu Lin was surprised, "It's gone?!" After finishing speaking, he glanced at Xi Xun, and asked, "Have you gone back to the inn?"

"Yes!" Mu Jiujiu pretended to be very serious and nodded vigorously.

Xi Xun was not good at acting, so he stood by the side indifferently.

Chu Lin frowned slightly in doubt, "But just now, I seemed to hear your voices at the stage."

Mu Jiujiu was embarrassed for a moment, heard...her voice? !Did you see her?
Seeing that she couldn't handle it, Xixun said, "I did go back, we haven't been here before, you must have heard wrong."

When he saw Mu Jiujiu for the first time, his face was in a hurry, and his hair was messed up because of running, so he believed that he had heard wrong.

"We've already searched, but we still don't have enough manpower, so let's search separately." Mu Jiujiu suggested.

This is not a trivial matter, and Chulin agreed without even thinking about it.

"Our lady has a bad head." Mu Jiujiu pretended to wipe away tears, and held back Chu Lin, "Your Majesty, please find our lady."

Chulin nodded solemnly.

Mu Jiujiu pulled Xi Xun and ran away, laughing as he ran, "It's done!"

Chulin stood on the street, his palms were suddenly covered with a layer of cold sweat, and a panic crept into his heart.

It was a strange panic, one that he rarely experienced.

He turned his head to leave, but someone grabbed his sleeve suddenly, he looked back, it was Xia Qiannian.

He said, "Gu Lianlian is gone, I need to find her."

But Xia Qiannian still didn't let go, saying, "King Pingliao and Miss Mu are not ordinary people, and they will definitely find the empress."

Chu Lin frowned, not knowing what she meant, and wanted to push her away, but she heard her suddenly ask, "Your Majesty, do you like me?"

Her voice was a little sad, as if she expected his answer, but was afraid of his answer.

Chulin was stunned. In the night, his voice was a bit cold, even colder than the winter wind, "I thought I was obvious enough."

Xia Qiannian suddenly wanted to laugh, but she shook her head, but she couldn't smile, "Your Majesty, you don't like me, from beginning to end, you don't like me."

Chulin's eyes turned cold, and she heard her slowly say in her ear, "Once, a maid in the palace dressed me up, looked at me in the bronze mirror, and suddenly said that between my brows, I had a little imagination with the empress, especially that A faint foolishness, and the look of resistance in the eyes when dealing with strangers, at that moment, I suddenly understood."

"Understood... what?" Some promises seemed to have surfaced, but he still couldn't help asking.

"When facing the empress, you deliberately made affection for me, when you saw the prince Chuwen and the empress together, your impatient gaze, when drinking tea, because the tea was slightly bitter, you were afraid that the empress would not like it, so you poured it on me. After drinking seven or eight cups, you gave her a light cup. When the empress was scalded, you were angry and held back the blame of worry. Even in every encounter and every banquet, your gaze was always unintentional. Follow the empress all the time, even if it's just her every move, you can watch with gusto."

Xia Qiannian seemed to have endured it for a long time, and finally confided everything. Seeing Chu Lin, she relaxed a little, exhaled, and said softly, "When you looked at me, the reflection in your eyes was the empress."

Chu Lin's heart seemed to be hit hard by something, it was beating fast, but it was also throbbing, and his head seemed to be blocked by something.

But with Xia Qiannian's words, those blocked things were sucked out again.

He was speechless.

Is it like this?
Just like what Xia Qiannian said, is that so?
No matter how I recalled Chulin, I couldn't remember those things.

Because those things have always been out of his control and subconsciously done.

Xia Qiannian knew it in her heart, and she said again, "Even if I'm not reconciled, I don't want to be someone else's substitute. I know you can't remember it, but you can think about it. Just now, how many times did you mention the empress?"

Chulin's head just exploded, this way...he had unknowingly mentioned Gu Lianlian...

"When facing anyone, your eyes are only calm. Only when the empress appears, will there be color in your indifferent eyes." Xia Qiannian smiled helplessly. "The only color."

Chu Lin opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

Xia Qiannian put away her smile and said, "Then I will give you a choice. King Pingliao will find the Empress. Do you... still want to go?"

"En." Chulin said without the slightest hesitation this time, with an incomparably firm tone, which was her firm determination from the beginning to the end, "I'm going."
