There was a barely perceptible hint of loneliness in Chen Yin's tone.
But when Yu Xiang heard those words, her heart felt as if it was being pulled apart.
She really wanted to tell him that your junior sister has never blamed you and never thought anything bad about you.
You will always be her most important family member and favorite senior brother.
...But now she no longer knew what identity she should use to say such words to Chen Yin.
After hesitating to speak for several times, Yu Xiang slowly withdrew her hand, hugged her knees and squatted on the stone.
"...I really envy your junior sister."
"why?"
"Even if her senior brother is as bad as you say, at least he loves her."
"That's my junior sister." Chen Yin shrugged. "If I don't love her, who can I love?"
"But many people are not as lucky as her."
Yu Xiang whispered softly: "There are many people in this world who have nothing."
"She has no family, no friends, and even the traces of her existence have been wiped out. Sometimes, even she can't remember her own existence."
"But even so, she doesn't even have the right to die. She lives in a nightmare like hell every day for more than ten years."
"Is that kind of person pitiful?"
Chen Yin didn't know how to answer. But Yu Xiang continued:
"Of course it's pitiful. But what can we do?"
"No matter how beautiful and dreamy the paradise of mentors and apprentices and the friendship between fellow students is, it does not belong to her after all."
"Sooner or later, she will return to that sunless swamp. She will find a place where no one can find her and slowly rot."
The evening wind was a little bit colder, Yu Xiang seemed to feel a little cold and hugged her arms gently.
Chen Yin listened to these words with his eyes lowered.
He kept every word in mind.
It turns out that Xiang'er has been living in this kind of emotion all these years.
Changli Palace. Demonic Path. Wuling Sect.
Chen Yin suddenly couldn't wait to go out and find these three families to find out what had happened.
Who on earth has made Xiang'er immersed in such pain?
But soon, a soft voice interrupted his thoughts:
"Can you... let me lean on you for a while?"
Chen Yin turned his head, Yu Xiang's cheeks were slightly red, and there was a hint of unnaturalness in her tone.
"Girl, don't you mind me being a playboy?"
"As long as you don't move, I'll just lean on a warm stone."
"Well, what if you can't help but move around?"
"Then I'll cut off your microphone."
She said angrily.
Chen Yin shrank his neck in dismay and stood still obediently.
Yu Xiang was still a little shy, but she still moved gently to Chen Yin's side and leaned her little head on his shoulder.
The wind became gentler and the air became quieter.
Chen Yin's shoulders seemed to have a unique magical power. Yu Xiang leaned on them, and all of a sudden, all the endless fatigue in her heart surged up.
She knew she couldn't fall asleep in front of Chen Yin, but she was reluctant to leave this warm and broad arm.
"...Hmm." She suddenly made a sound like a little girl who was lazy in bed.
Chen Yin coughed dryly and asked tentatively: "Well, if the girl is uncomfortable leaning on you like this, I don't mind holding her while she sleeps—"
Clang. A slender sword stabbed straight in front of Chen Yin.
Yu Xiang's tone was slightly resentful and dissatisfied: "Can't you have fewer dirty thoughts in your head?"
"……sorry."
Yu Xiang changed to a comfortable position and continued to lean on him. Suddenly, she said:
"Don't get me wrong. I'm just a little tired."
"It's really just... just a little closer." She whispered.
Chen Yin didn't expose her and nodded softly.
"It doesn't matter. You can stay as long as you want."
The atmosphere became quiet again. Yu Xiang closed her eyes for a long time before suddenly speaking:
"What are your plans... next?"
"Once Senior Sister Shen Shuanglian has recovered from her injuries, we will naturally leave here as soon as possible."
Chen Yin half-jokingly said, "But the public opinion is probably all over the place right now. Who knows, I might have become a bad guy who is in cahoots with the evildoers."
"I hope I don't get caught when I get out. Haha."
Yu Xiang was silent for a long time before she whispered, "I'm sorry."
"I've caused you trouble..."
"You don't have to blame yourself. I said I volunteered."
Chen Yin raised his head and said slowly: "You know what? You actually look a lot like my junior sister."
Yu Xiang's body trembled slightly.
"My little junior sister is also a bit shy and introverted. On the surface, she seems to be smiling, but her smile is so heartless. But she always hides something in her heart and refuses to tell others."
"That's why this girl always makes people so worried." Chen Yin shook his head helplessly.
Yu Xiang was silent for a long time before she slowly uttered:
"Maybe... your little sister has some unspeakable secrets."
"That means this girl is stupid."
Chen Yin said seriously: "Her master is one of the most powerful Taiqing Realm immortals in the world of immortal cultivation, Yu Ling. Her senior brother is the most handsome man in the world of immortal cultivation, me."
"With two powerful backers like these, what secrets can't be solved? Why do you have to keep them in your heart?"
Yu Xiang bit her lip lightly, but finally said weakly: "Maybe things are not as simple as you think."
"There's nothing we can do about it."
Chen Yin sighed helplessly: "As her senior brother, I can only wait for the day when she is willing to tell me."
...that's weird.
I'll find the answer myself.
Before you do anything stupid, silly girl.
Yu Xiang's eyes flickered and she stared at the stream in front of her in a daze.
The moonlight was clear, the stream was flowing slowly, and a purple-bearded thunder-mane tiger by the stream was licking its paws leisurely.
The evening breeze blew by, and for a moment Yu Xiang felt an uncontrollable sleepiness, and her eyelids began to twitch.
Seeing her lazy expression like a sleeping cat, Chen Yin couldn't help but said, "If you are really sleepy, take a nap."
"Um... no."
"Why? Are you afraid that I will do something out of line with you?"
"I'm not afraid...it's just that I can't sleep."
"No matter what important things you have, you will have more strength after you wake up."
Yu Xiang thought about it, said softly, then turned around and said, "Then, don't take off my veil."
"rest assured."
"Don't put your hands on me."
"no problem."
"Don't leave secretly."
Chen Yin was stunned for a moment, but noticed that Yu Xiang's tone was filled with a hint of pouting: "Don't think too much, I just don't want to be woken up by the cold in the middle of my sleep."
"At least tonight, let me sleep warmly. Okay?"
Chen Yin was silent for a moment, and a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes.
"……I promise you."
The moonlight swayed in the breeze, and soft breathing sounds could be heard by my ears.
(I have guests at home, so I am a little late, sorry)
45. Slow down a bit
When the sky was just beginning to brighten, Yu Xiang opened her eyes.
There was a slightly cool scent of dew around them, and Chen Yin also leaned his head against hers. The two of them looked particularly warm leaning against each other.
Yu Xiang recalled that when they were in Yushan, they always did the same thing: they would find a tree, lean against it, and fall asleep together.
If it weren't for the veil on her face, Yu Xiang would almost think she was still on Yushan Mountain.
Live that carefree life.
The morning glow was gradually rising. Just as Yu Xiang stood up, she heard Chen Yin's gentle voice:
"Good morning. Did you sleep well last night, Miss Yin?"
Yu Xiang deliberately snorted and said, "You kept your word. You didn't touch me, and you didn't lift my veil."
"From what Miss Yin said, maybe she wants me to lift the veil and see her true face?" Chen Yin smiled.
Yu Xiang didn't say anything, just turned her head slightly.
"I'm leaving."
"What are your plans next, girl?"
"You're still happier if you don't know." Yu Xiang glanced at him lightly.
Chen Yin could only shrug.
"Then I won't meddle in your business." He bowed lightly, "I wish you a safe journey, young lady."
"…Don't worry about me."
Yu Xiang lowered her eyes and said, "You should pay more attention to yourself."
"Don't forget, you are now the person who is protecting the evil witch in the eyes of the world."
Chen Yin still had a nonchalant and relaxed smile on his face.
Yu Xiang seemed a little dissatisfied with his heartless appearance, and couldn't help but frowning: "Aren't you worried at all? There are rumors everywhere outside now, and the righteous monks who are searching will find this place soon."
"You are different from Shen Shuanglian. If you were caught by them, wouldn't you be unable to defend yourself?"
Chen Yin waved his hand nonchalantly: "What are you afraid of?"
"My master is the Immortal Yu Ling. Even if they had ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare to do anything to me."
...Unless these old guys are not afraid of being blocked at their doorstep by their master every day to cause trouble.
"...Hmph. Whatever you say."
Yu Xiang turned around abruptly, her hair swaying leisurely. Before leaving, she couldn't help but stop and look back with her beautiful eyes.
"Just a kind reminder."
"Don't get too close to Shen Shuanglian." She said softly.
