"I'm honest..." Li Qingyao's eyes were a little flustered, and she deliberately refused to look at him, pretending to be calm. "Actually, this Qingyue Lake was often visited when I was a child. When I was ignorant in the past, I often quarreled with my parents. Every time I quarreled, I would come here alone to sulk until they came to pick me up... I miss it, at least I could still quarrel in the past."
Ye Tianlai pursed his lips. He didn't want to talk about this, but when he heard part of Li Qingyao's true feelings, he couldn't help feeling sad.
Although Li Qingyao tried to say this in a relaxed tone, Ye Tianlai felt even more so weak and so strong... Looking at her smile, it only made people feel heartbroken.
Ye Tianlai felt more and more anxious. He knew that if he didn't say it, then Li Qingyao would keep playing Tai Chi with him tonight, saying something irrelevant, and get confused like before.
"Junior Sister Li, don't like Chen Xiuyan, right?" Ye Tianlai took a deep breath and directly got to the topic.
Li Qingyao was stunned for a moment. She obviously didn't expect Ye Tianlai to suddenly say such words!
"Senior Brother Ye was joking... Although I said that before, that was because I didn't know him at that time. Senior Brother Chen Xiuyan was handsome, gentle and kind, and a phoenix among people... I have no reason not to like him, right?"
Li Qingyao looked at Ye Tianlai's eyes, but his eyes became more and more distracted when he said halfway. Finally, he completely moved away and his tone became lighter.
"You are lying, and you dare not look into my eyes." Ye Tianlai took a sip of wine, his eyes were bright, and he had a mixed smile.
The wilderness is vast and the stars are vast, and the sky is filled with rivers and rivers.
Li Qingyao stood up. The lake surface was as calm as a mirror. The stars were reflected on the lake surface. There was no one in the fields, and the stars were lonely.
"What's the point of lying to you?"
"Because you like me, but you dare not like me." Ye Tianlai took off the jade pendant from his waist and placed it in front of Li Qingyao. "You have known my jade pendant for a long time. You have been hiding it and not returning it to me!"
"...Because I have a bad character, I like to be greedy for small gains." Li Qingyao was silent for a moment, and said with her lips pursed.
"Fuck, how much is this mere seventh-grade spiritual weapon worth, and it's useless? The soul-protecting pill you saved Hong Ziqi is much more expensive than this!"
Ye Tianlai couldn't help but swear. He didn't want to say this, but he really couldn't stand Li Qingyao's self-deprecating self-deprecatingness!
This reminded Ye Tianlai of her pretending to like Chen Xiuyan... She was so resistant! You think it was for the sake of others' good, but would you only hurt yourself in this way?
Can you not be so simple?
"Because you don't like Chen Xiuyan, you like me, right!" Ye Tianlai crushed the jade pendant hard, "I don't know when you started, but do you dare to deny that you like me?"
How could Li Qingyao not like him? On the night of the confinement, Li Qingyao misunderstood that he would not be angry when she peeped. She was more close to him than other brothers on weekdays. She kissed indirectly without caring, secretly left his jade pendant, and wrote down the Qingqingzi pendant. When bathing in Fengyin City, she trusted him 100% of her trust. Outside Fengyin Spring, in order to find him to refine an extremely low-level spiritual origin, the future was completely ruined, just because he had instructed him not to let anyone know about this!
One by one... Ye Tianlai is the world's number one fool, and he can't see it!
Originally, Ye Tianlai might have been a little more tactful, but the anger in his heart and the quiet atmosphere of the night made him completely burst out.
Li Qingyao's expression was extremely panicked, she retreated repeatedly, and almost fell down: "I don't, I, I am Chen Xiuyan's fiancée, what I like is..."
"Okay, then you swear!" Ye Tianlai pulled Li Qingyao and stared straight into Li Qingyao's eyes, "You swear, you like Chen Xiuyan, you are willing to marry him!"
"I...I..." Li Qingyao's eyes were blurred and she struggled, "I'm a little drunk. I want to go back first. Brother Ye, you may be drunk too..."
Ye Tianlai took a deep breath and said as calmly as possible: "As long as you swear, I will let you go."
Li Qingyao turned her face away: "I...I swear!"
"Look at me and swear."
"Senior Brother Ye, enough..." Li Qingyao bit her lip and looked at Ye Tianlai. Her aura changed slightly and she said softly, "Even if what you said is true, so what? Have you ever thought about Junior Sister Yue?"
Ye Tianlai's body trembled, and Li Qingyao's eyes were filled with tears, but she forced a smile and gently shook Ye Tianlai's hand away, saying word by word: "I like people who are wholehearted, I like people who are determined, I like people who can tell their sweetheart names, I like people who have the courage to fight against people all over the world for their sweetheart... So, do you understand? I don't like you, and I can't like you!"
Ye Tianlai's momentum suddenly became decadent, and he couldn't help but retreat slightly, and he didn't dare to look directly into Li Qingyao's eyes.
Li Qingyao pursed her lips, smiled slightly, gently tidied up Ye Tianlai's clothes, and she burst into tears, and said softly: "A person only has one heart. If he gives it to one person, he will not tolerate a second person."
"Junior Sister Li, I..."
Li Qingyao interrupted him with a smile: "I am not a good person, I am a bad person... I am not worthy of you. You deserve to be liked by better people, and you deserve to meet better people."
Ye Tianlai lowered his head heavily and murmured: "No, I'm afraid, I won't..."
"Today, let's go back like this. OK?"
“…”
Ye Tianlai was silent, his fists clenched tightly together. He did not agree or object.
He suddenly felt his powerlessness. This emotional moral pressure was even more powerless than the pressure of the gap in realm. There was a faint impulse in his heart, like a devil bewitching him in his ears.
Li Qingyao picked up the bamboo oars and took a light stroke. The small bamboo raft floated towards the shore.
"Aren't you going back?" Ye Tianlai asked softly.
"I'm waiting for someone to pick me up."
"who?"
"Okay, I'm kidding..." Li Qingyao raised her head and smiled, her voice silently, "No one will come to pick me up again."
Her figure was so quiet that she was like a silhouette, with a pool of autumn light in her eyes, like the shining of the cold moon, and the lonely world.
"You go." Li Qingyao said, "We'd better not see each other again in the future."
Ye Tianlai suddenly raised his head and saw Li Qingyao's two lines of tears slid down, shattering the moonlight.
