Jiang Li was so close that Xuan Qing had a brief illusion that he had returned to the day when the two of them hid behind the Buddha statue in the ruined temple.

He felt that Jiang Li's palm on his chest seemed to be carrying a nameless fire, and the hot temperature burned into his skin and even his flesh through the thin clothes.

There was a heartbeat of "bang bang--" in his ears, as Jiang Li said, he felt his heart hit his chest like a disordered frequency, developing in an abnormal direction.

There was no time to turn on the lights in the house. In the dimly lit room, there was only a trace of light from the moonlight pouring in from the door.

In the quiet night, the extremely close distance in the dark caused the ambiguity and charm between the two that could not be ignored.

They could hear each other's breathing, but neither of them blinked.

Xuan Qing felt a little restless somewhere deep in his heart, something wanted to break free from the shackles of his identity, it burst open, and he felt a little thirsty in his throat.

But it wasn't like the usual thirst, but there was an unknown yearning in his heart, which prompted him to do something, but the string called reason was tightened so that he would not get lost.

——Xuanqing, one must have a belief in life. You have been cold since you were a child, you seem to be detached from the world, but you are deeply immersed in the world, and you can't convert to the Buddha wholeheartedly. This time, when you go down the mountain, when you find the meaning of your existence in this world, it will be the time when you will become enlightened.

A kind voice rang in his ears, and the sound was accompanied by the distant and thick bell in the temple, which dispelled the unfinished thoughts in his heart.

He closed his eyes and folded his hands together, isolating the entanglement with Jiang Li.

A faint light cast on half of his face, imprinting the lines of his face without any sadness or joy. The previous movement and inadvertent love disappeared, like a wisp of smoke, with no trace to be found.

He was still the young monk who didn't touch the world's fireworks when he first met.

Jiang Li felt his chaotic heartbeat slowly subside, stared at him for a while, and then slowly clenched the palm of his chest, as if he was holding something important.

Only he knows, he can't hold anything.

Jiang Li retracted his hand, took two steps back, restrained and politely said "Excuse me", then turned around and left.

His pace was steady, and his clenched hand didn't let go until he left the door, and he didn't look back.

As for Xuan Qing behind him, his tightly closed eyes never opened, and there was no sign of strangeness on his face, only the unnatural tightening of his jaw was fleeting.

...

As soon as Jiang Li returned to his room, someone came over to prepare hot water for his bath. He took off his clothes and stepped into the tub, leaning tiredly against the edge of the tub and draping the hot and humid towel over his eyes.

"Master host, are you alright?" The system asked aloud, it felt that Jiang Li was very disappointed and even very sad at this time, which made it very worried.

Jiang Li leaned against the tub, motionless.

After a long time, he slowly reached out and took off the towel from his eyes, and opened his eyes with a sense of loneliness that had not dissipated.

"You said..." He said hoarsely, "He always does this, he forgets about me as soon as he turns around. If one day I leave and don't want to chase anymore, will he regret it?"

The system was silent for a while, and said, "Don't be sad, he will remember." The

system is just a virtual existence, no matter how intelligent it is, it cannot empathize with Jiang Li's feelings at this time. Jiang Li chuckled, with a tired and self-deprecating tone: "Yeah, I will always remember it, this is probably my only comfort."

It's just that he is human after all, a person with flesh and blood, not just a human being. A tool for strategy games.

In these long years, his heart and mind are filled with memories of the other party for hundreds of years. After feeling the unreserved and strong love of the other party, now just a strange look makes him extremely uncomfortable. .

"Master host." The system called him and wanted to continue comforting, but in the end it remained silent.

Sometimes, in the face of reality, language often seems powerless. Although it knows that Xuan Qing will definitely be tempted again in the end, but in the long river of time, the one who is responsible for chasing after life has to endure too much.

Jiang Li's eyes were empty, and he was also silent for a while, then he held his breath and sank into the water.

...

The next day, Jiang Li got up from the bed, and after washing up, he went to Qian Yuanwai to say goodbye.

He and Xuan Qing were originally here to deal with Jiang Feihua's affairs, but now that they have been arrested and sent by officials, there is no need to stay any longer.

When Qian Yuanwai heard that he was leaving, he was a little anxious: "So soon? I haven't had time to take a good rest. You and Master Xuanqing, why are you leaving? Where is Master Xuanqing?"

"The matter of Jiang Feihua has been resolved, we It's time to go back." Jiang Li said, he hasn't discussed with Xuan Qing yet, but with Xuan Qing's character, he definitely won't stay any longer.

At this time, Mrs. Qian happened to come in from outside, and when she heard his words, she also said: "Mr. Jiang, you and Master Xuanqing are the great benefactors of our family, but you can't just leave like this, otherwise we will feel really sorry."

Jiang Li Xiaoxiao, so that they don't have to worry about it. Since Qian Yuanwai has promised to donate sesame oil money to Xuanqing and their temple, then this matter is settled, and they did not come to help for repayment.

Even though he said so, Qian Yuanwai still disagreed. To him, money was something outside his body. How could sesame oil money be compared with saving his daughter's life, so he persuaded Jiang Li to stay for a few more days, so that he could fulfill the friendship of the landlord.

Jiang Li thought that he still had several days to go back to Qingshui Town. If he stayed here for a few more days, his father would definitely be worried, so he politely declined Qian Yuanwai's kindness.

"What about Master Xuanqing?" Qian Yuanwai saw that he was firm and planned to start from Xuanqing's side, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he heard a voice from the door: "You don't need to keep me." The

three followed the sound and found that Xuanqing didn't know what to do. Time has come, standing at the door.

In Qian Yuanwai's eyes, although Xuan Qing is also a good person, he is not as gentle, polite and easy to get along with Jiang Li.

But in order to express his gratitude, he still asked the two to stay and have a meal before leaving.

This Jiang Li has no opinion. Anyway, they have to eat their stomachs when they want to go on the road.

In order to thank them, Qian Yuanwai put a lot of effort into the kitchen for this meal. The food table had everything that could fly in the sky, run on the ground, swim in the water, and a huge table full of large and small plates.

Considering Xuanqing's status as a monk, he also specially ordered the kitchen to cook a lot of vegetarian dishes. There are more than 20 servings of vegetarian dishes alone.

As the Qian family is a big family, the chef's craftsmanship is definitely worthless. I have to say that this meal is the best and most satisfying meal Jiang Li has eaten in this world, and it is the same as the boiled water that Xuan Qing gave him back then. Wild vegetables are like a sky and an underground.

As soon as he thought that he was a wounded person and had to eat the tasteless wild vegetable seedlings, he felt the wound hurt, and glanced at Xuan Qing who was sitting next to him complaining.

Xuan Qing was eating, thinking that although the taste was good, it was a little worse than the meal Jiang Li cooked for himself in the cottage before.

Qian Yuanwai personally poured tea for Jiang Li and Xuanqing, then raised the cup and said to the two: "Master Xuanqing, Mr. Jiang, today I, Qian, replace the wine with tea, thank you two for your kindness, if there is any future What can I, Qian, be of any help, even if the two of you speak, I, Qian, will never refuse!"

"Thank you for your kindness and virtue." Mrs. Qian also stood up with a smile and raised a teacup to the two of them.

Qian Qingqing was no exception. Holding a teacup, he expressed his gratitude: "The kindness of Master Xuanqing and Mr. Jiang is unforgettable.

" In time, he could see that Qian Yuanwai is indeed a person who values ​​friendship and is grateful.

Everyone clinked the cups together, and after drinking all the tea in the cups, Qian Yuan sat back on the stool and greeted Jiang Li and Xuan Qing with a smile to continue eating, you're welcome.

Mrs. Qian next to him kicked his foot under the table and gestured to him with her eyes.

Yuan Yuan suddenly realized, glanced at his daughter who was eating quietly next to him, and then asked Jiang Li, "Mr. Jiang, the situation was urgent yesterday, and I didn't have time to ask where you live? Why did you come to us?"

"I'm from Qingshui Town. He asked very common questions, and Jiang Li had nothing to hide. "This year, I just finished my studies at Puzhou University, and I'm planning to go back to my hometown."

Puzhou University is a very famous academy, the dean of the academy. He also won the second place in high school, served as an official in the DPRK and China, and was hired as the dean of Puzhou University after returning to his hometown.

Moreover, most of the students who went out of Puzhou University were very successful people. Last year's Jinke champion went out from here.

When Qian Yuanwai heard that Jiang Li was a student of Puzhou University, his eyes lit up, and he and Mrs. Qian looked at each other, and both saw surprise and satisfaction in each other's eyes.

"Puzhou University is a good place. Mr. Jiang is really young and promising." Qian Yuanwai praised from his heart. He didn't expect that Jiang Li was not only kind-hearted, but also full of knowledge. It was too unexpected, too pleasant.

"Liao Zan, it's just that I was fortunate enough to pass the test." Jiang Li said modestly, after all, the original body took the test three times before passing the test.

But after listening to Qian Yuan's outside ears, he was extremely humble, and he was even more satisfied with his behavior, and asked, "I wonder how old Mr. Jiang is this year? Who else is in the family?"

Jiang Li felt that his question was a bit strange, but he still answered truthfully: "I just turned 20, and there is still a father in the family." As soon as

he finished speaking, Qian Yuanwai slapped his thigh: "Okay!"

Jiang Li: " What's good?"

Qian Yuanwai's old face was almost full of laughter, and he said cheerfully: "Mr. Jiang, my Qingqing is twenty-eight years old this year, and I haven't made a promise to others yet. I'm thinking that I'm a perfect match for you. What do you think?"

Jiang Li For a moment, I didn't realize how to eat and it suddenly turned into a blind date, and there was a "pop" sound next to it.

Everyone looked at them together and found that Xuan Qing had broken the chopsticks in his hand.

Qian Yuanwai: "??"

Why did he suddenly feel murderous?
