Junior Disciple C

Chapter 121

"Are you leaving?" Fang Yang asked in surprise.

He had just come downstairs and was about to have breakfast, when he saw Senior Brother Waste Chai and Cao Zirui who got up very early, and was about to say hello as usual, but unexpectedly got the news that they were about to part ways.

"Yes." Cao Zirui nodded.

"When...?" Fang Yang, who was slightly hazy when he woke up just now, was awakened by the news, and he asked.

Cao Zirui thought for a while: "Just today, I'll be leaving later." The road from Longqiu to Lingxiao Sword Sect was not short, and he was going to catch the earliest spaceship today.

"So fast..." Fang Yang's tone dropped extremely obviously, and his head was the same, reluctance to part from body to heart.

Feng Ye laughed a little when he saw this, and simply suggested: "You can go back with him."

Fang Yang's downcast expression didn't improve when he heard that, but became more entangled.

There were four of them, Cao Zirui was going back to the sect, and Senior Brother Huai Chai was going to the northern border, although Big Brother Hao hadn't woken up yet, but don't think about it, he must be going with Feng Ye.

As for himself, in fact, he can go with either side, the key lies in how he chooses.

He is reluctant to part with his friends, but he is also curious about the northern border that he has never been to. Both options have certain temptations. Fang Yang feels that he is standing on a swinging balance, hesitating.

He pondered for a long time and finally made a decision.

"I'd better go to the northern border with senior brother." Fang Yang closed his eyes when he said this choice, as if he had made such a difficult choice.

Cao Zirui was noncommittal about Fang Yang's choice. Although he also hoped that Fang Yang would accompany him back home, he also knew that the northern border was very attractive to Fang Yang.

He just said: "I heard that the snow-capped mountains in the north are continuous, the snow on the top of the mountain has not melted for a thousand years, and the mountains and snow are connected into a snow line. It is an extremely magnificent scenery. Remember to take a look and come back and tell me about it."

"Definitely!" The entanglement on Fang Yang's face was no longer there, he bared his white teeth and promised with a smile.

The corners of Cao Zirui's lips were also curved, it was only a small arc, but it was extremely rare to appear on his face.

Feng Ye watched this scene from the sidelines, propped his chin up, and smiled as if infected by these two people.

"Breakfast is ready! Warm buns and porridge!"

The shopkeeper came out from the backyard with a large bowl of porridge and buns, he greeted as he walked.

Coincidentally, I was a little hungry even now, so the three of them sat at the table and started eating.

After dinner, it was almost time. Cao Zirui had already made up his mind to go back, so his luggage had already been packed, and he formally bowed and said goodbye to Feng Ye.

Feng Ye bowed back and warned, "Be careful on the road."

"En." Cao Zirui nodded in agreement, and looked at Fang Yang again, wanting to say goodbye.

But Fang Yang was the first to say: "I'll give you a ride, take you to the pier, and I'll come back when you get on the boat."

There's nothing wrong with that, anyway, Feng Ye is not in a hurry to leave today, and Fang Yang can have more time to say goodbye to Cao Zirui.

So the three of them agreed to the proposal. Fang Yang waved to Feng Ye and left the inn with Cao Zirui.

Feng Ye sat by the window and looked at the backs of the two as they walked away. The two talked while walking, and there seemed to be endless topics to talk about.

That's probably what good friends are like.Feng Ye thought to himself.

Seeing the two walking side by side, and sitting alone in the inn, Feng Ye suddenly thought of Hao Chen.

He retracted his gaze and looked upstairs. The fish woke up very late today. Although the sun did not shine on his butt, it was not because it was too early, but because it was cloudy today, and the gray in the morning was not completely gray. It's because the early morning is also related to today's weather.

Overcast clouds are gathering in the sky, and the humidity in the air is increasing.

Although Feng Ye doesn't know how to fly clouds and spread rain, but as a dragon who is good at water, he can still clearly sense that it's going to rain.

Most people don't like rain very much, because the clothes stick to the body when they are wet.But this fish is not the case. Yunyu finally relieved the dryness of the place and brought the dried fish back to life.

This is an extremely comfortable weather for Hao Chen.

Perhaps because of this, the fish slept extraordinarily sweetly today and has not woken up to this day.

Feng Ye looked at the breakfast on the table that was about to dissipate the heat. After thinking about it, he went to the counter to get a clean bowl, filled some porridge and wanted to serve it to Hao Chen.

Although he still hasn't figured out how to deal with his relationship with Hao Chen, but...he can't escape after all, so let's take one step at a time.

Feng Ye packed the porridge and was about to go upstairs when he suddenly heard the "squeak" sound of the stairs being stepped on.

There are only four people living in this inn, two of them have already left, and he is downstairs, and he knows who it will be by using the method of elimination.

Feng Ye just saved himself trouble and sat at the table waiting for Hao Chen to come down.

Although Feng Ye was calm on the surface, he was actually very disturbed in his heart. The sound of stepping on the stairs stepped on his heart with every step.

He gradually saw the corner of Hao Chen's clothes protruding from the stairs, and more and more parts were exposed, and finally, he met Hao Chen's eyes.

I don't know if it was due to the dark sky today, but Feng Ye felt that Hao Chen's eyes were very dark, so dark that he couldn't see the bottom.

Moreover, this fish always had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and this frivolous look was his normal state, but right now, he didn't have any smile on his face.

It's just that he doesn't smile anymore, it's nothing unusual, no matter how low a smile is, a person won't smile all the time.

But for no reason, Feng Ye felt that Hao Chen was extremely serious today.

Seriously something unusual.

And what happened recently that caused such a change in Hao Chen... Feng Ye remembered last night.

His eyes wandered and he picked up the teacup at hand. There was no tea in the teacup, but he still pretended to hold it to cover up his nervousness.

Hao Chen sat directly opposite him, and Feng Ye pushed the bowl of porridge that he wanted to take upstairs to Hao Chen, and greeted Hao Chen in as normal a tone as possible: "Get up so late? Breakfast is almost turning into lunch." .”

Hao Chen glanced at the porridge pushed in front of him, but didn't pick it up.

He didn't intend to drink, he just squinted at Feng Ye, and said straight to the point: "Don't you want to say something to me?"

It's coming, it's coming, what Feng Ye is most worried about is still coming.Hao Chen bluntly did not leave him any room for buffering.

The more Feng Ye thought about what happened last night, and the relationship between himself and Hao Chen, the more confused he became. When Hao Chen asked him this question, his already confused mind became even more confused.

He was silent for a moment.

Hao Chen didn't rush, and patiently waited for Feng Ye's reply.

"Last night...thank you."

This was Feng Ye's answer after a long silence.

But it was not the answer Hao Chen wanted.

The word "thank you" is polite, but at the same time alienated.

Hao Chen actually didn't fall asleep at all, he stayed up all night.

When Feng Ye fell asleep, he would sit beside Feng Ye's pillow staring at Feng Ye's side face in a daze. After Feng Ye woke up, he would close his eyes and pretend to be asleep.

He pretended to be sleeping at the level of a master, as long as he didn't grope with itchy hands, Feng Ye wouldn't be able to find the clues at all.

Feng Ye really didn't notice, and thought he quietly moved his hands and feet away, and left the room.

When Feng Ye was talking to Fang Yang and Cao Zirui in the lobby, Hao Chen was meditating on his empty pillow.

Feng Ye's behavior of leaving quietly like this is very much like those scumbags in the world who run away after sleeping.

Of course, Feng Ye wasn't considered scum, after all, they didn't do anything at all, they just hugged each other.

But this action also sent a signal to Hao Chen. He managed to get in through the gap exposed by this dragon with a hard outer shell yesterday, but getting in does not mean that he really went in. It looks like a plan to shrink back and close the gap again.

Hao Chen is not a patient person. He has lived for so long, and most of the time is meaningless to him. Waiting for ten days and a half months is no different to him than waiting for ten or a hundred years.

But that's just because he looks down on many other things, and there are few things in the world that he cares about and looks forward to.

But Feng Ye was not.

He told himself to approach the dragon patiently, but no one can remain indifferent to the person he likes.

It would be fine if there was no progress all the time, but Hao Chen couldn't accept that he had to go back to the original state despite having made progress.

Although one advance is worse than one retreat, but blindly retreating is not necessarily correct, and sometimes the effect is better if you force it appropriately.

Moreover, Hao Chen really didn't want to wait any longer.He wanted to know exactly what Feng Ye had experienced and what kind of pain he had suffered.

While he was thinking upstairs, he was also waiting, waiting to see if Feng Ye would come back, but in the end he didn't.And Feng Ye's answer right now also confirmed his guess, the dragon was indeed planning to retreat.

so...

"Feng Ye." Hao Chen suddenly called Feng Ye's name.

This is the second time Hao Chen has called this name without any suffix since they met.

Feng Ye squeezed the teacup slightly harder, and he gave an "um" as calmly as possible.

"In the underground palace the day before yesterday, when Ling Yun wounded your left shoulder, I wanted to check on your wound, but you avoided it." Hao Chen stated, looking directly at Feng Ye.

"Hmm." Feng Ye said "hmm" again, his eyes wandered, looking out of the window for a while, and looking at the empty teacup for a while, but he didn't look at Hao Chen.

"Why?" Hao Chen asked himself and answered, "Because you don't believe me, you subconsciously avoided me touching your wound."

Feng Ye didn't make a sound.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and the damp wind poured in through the open windows, brewing a heavy rain.

Hao Chen continued on his own: "But it's not your fault. I did hide a lot from you. I didn't do it honestly with you. You should not trust me."

"You're quite self-aware." Feng Ye raised his eyebrows, trying to put on a relaxed tone and jokingly said.

Hao Chen also smiled, the seriousness on his face melted for a moment, but became more serious the next moment.

He changed the topic: "But Fang Yang also tried to help you look at the wound later, and you also refused."

"What kind of bad intentions can this silly boy Fang Yang have? Or what harm can he do to you? If he also has bad intentions, there will probably be no good people in the world."

"But even so, you still rejected him." When Hao Chen said this, he leaned forward slightly.

"Then can I draw such an inference." He stared at Feng Ye closely, with a hint of persecution, and said word by word: "Feng Ye, you never trust anyone."

With a sound of "哗啦", the rainy cloud accumulated for a long time finally reached the critical point, and the bean-sized raindrops poured down on the world at the same time as Hao Chen's last word fell.

Pedestrians on the street immediately ran and shouted, shouting to close the stall and take shelter from the rain. It suddenly became very lively outside, but the room between the two of them became very cold.

Amidst the sound of rain, Feng Ye stared at the teacup in his hand without moving.

Although Hao Chen used interrogative words, his tone was very certain. He had already tore through all the window paper and laid everything out on the bright side.

Finally, Feng Ye could no longer escape, he raised his eyes and looked back at Hao Chen.

"Relying on the mountains and falling, relying on the flow of water." He also paused every word.

This was his answer to Hao Chen.

He only believes in himself.

Hao Chen heard the meaning of Feng Ye's words, and he spoke again, the sound was even louder than the "crashing" rain outside the window, echoing in the empty inn.

"You can trust me!"

While speaking, he stretched out his hand on the table at the same time, and his fingertips touched Feng Ye's fingertips, and then he continued to move forward, holding Feng Ye's hand.

Feng Ye looked down at the hand that Hao Chen was holding with him, and didn't move for a moment.

Hao Chen's words continued.

"I know it's hard for you to trust someone, Feng Ye."

"I don't want you to tell me everything right now, nor do I want you to make any changes immediately. I just want your name."

"Name?" Feng Ye interrupted Hao Chen, and he repeated the word with some doubts.

Hao Chen nodded and said affirmatively, "Name."

"Feng Ye, it probably isn't your real name."

Thinking about it, since Feng Ye has always acted in a low-key manner, and came to the world in the body of a mortal, why would he deliberately use his real name.

Therefore, the name "Feng Ye" is [-]% fake.Hao Chen has always thought so.

Facing Hao Chen's question, Feng Ye remained silent again.

Hao Chen thought for a while, and suddenly brought up another very long-standing topic: "Do you remember what I told you before? I said you beg me, and I will consider whether I can help you. Then it became, as long as you ask Me, I will definitely help you."

Feng Ye recalled Hao Chen's words. When Hao Chen said this, he was showing a sense of almsgiving, but it was because they didn't know each other's identity at the time, so they had this misunderstanding.

But it was all over anyway, and Feng Ye had long forgotten about it. He was a little puzzled, and didn't understand why Hao Chen suddenly mentioned this.

Hao Chen smiled, he couldn't help laughing when he thought of his stupidity at that time, he explained to Feng Ye: "Feng Ye, as long as you tell me your name, no matter what happens in the future, if you open your mouth, I will definitely help you. you."

His promise was upgraded for the third time, no need to pray, just open his mouth, and he will help at all costs.

Promise as the Lord of the Northern Darkness.

This is undoubtedly a very heavy promise, and at the same time, it also contains Hao Chen's trust in Feng Ye.

He believed that Feng Ye would not do anything against his will, so he dared to make such a promise.

Feng Ye's eyes flickered slightly.

But Hao Chen's weight is still increasing, he followed the temptation: "I will also tell you my identity, the reason why I came here, everything about me is no longer a secret from you, I only need a name."

"Just a name."

Feng Ye kept his head down, his eyes fell on the hands they held, and he remained silent for a long time.

"Tell me your real name, Feng Ye." Hao Chen slowed down his voice. Unlike the previous haste, he was almost soft this time.

But contrary to his soft tone, when he spoke, he used his fingers to hold Feng Ye's hand tightly, as if he could pass his own strength to Feng Ye and help him make up his mind.

Miraculously, Feng Ye really made a decision, he raised his eyes to look at Hao Chen.

Hao Chen's heart was pounding, he was nervous but also joyful, he came up with these words after thinking about them alone in the room for a long time, he felt that these words were very tempting.

He made so many promises, but all he asked for was just a name, or rather, an attitude from Feng Ye, he wanted Feng Ye to try to trust him, just a little bit, as long as Feng Ye took this step, Hao Chen has the confidence to continue to expand this little trust.

Hao Chen felt that his chances of success were extremely high, because his request was a simple request that couldn't be simpler, and he actually didn't think he would fail.

But unfortunately...

"Feng Ye." Feng Ye replied.

Amidst Hao Chen's dazed expression, which seemed to be unresponsive, he repeated: "Feng Ye, it's my name."

Hao Chen finally came to his senses.

He failed.

He overestimated himself, and underestimated Feng Ye's unbreakable defense.

The hands he held with Feng Ye were separated inch by inch, and he retreated inch by inch.

After the last point of contact between their fingertips was broken, he stood up abruptly from the stool, flung his sleeves and left.

He moved too much, and the tables and chairs beside him fell down, and there was a bang.

But he ignored it completely, with an angry look on his face that was uglier than the wind and rain outside the house.

Without looking back, he stepped into the wind and rain and left alone.

Feng Ye sat in his original position, looking down at the mess in front of him, as silent as a statue.

"What's going on here?" The shopkeeper heard the movement, and got out from the backyard to check. He saw that his desks and chairs had fallen down, and even his arms and legs were missing.

Feng Ye hooked his lips, he smiled self-deprecatingly, shook his head while laughing, and said to the shopkeeper, "I will pay you back."

After speaking, he went upstairs alone.

The shopkeeper rubbed his head in bewilderment, thinking that anyway, this group of people is not short of money, so he would not lose money to him, so he went to the backyard to continue working.

Outside the inn, the rain didn't stop, but it tended to get bigger and bigger.

There were no longer any pedestrians on the street, and they either ran home in the rain, or hid under other people's eaves to avoid the rain.

Birds are more sensitive than human beings, and they had already retreated to their nests before the rainstorm approached. There was an old old tree directly opposite the inn, and a nest of sparrows lived on the trunk.

The sparrows are all huddled in their nests, they are shivering, not because of the cold, but because of...

Amidst the rustling sound, a black snake crawled out from behind the sparrow's nest. He stared in the direction of the inn. His scarlet snake eyes witnessed the conversation and breakup between Feng Ye and Hao Chen.

"Hehe..." Black Snake couldn't help but let out a low laugh, his figure collapsed in the air, and the laughter gradually faded away, dissipating in the wind and rain.
