Chapter 21: Lover

Su Yanyue raised her head and stared at Tang Jinlou in a daze.

Tang Jinlou looked into her eyes and said word by word: "Yan'er, do you remember what I said to you when we first met?"

Su Yanyue said softly, "Remember." Her voice was a little choked. How could she not remember? It was the words she heard in the most desperate moments. She would never forget that day in her life. A little boy who had no relatives and no reason found her in the place his father thought was "the most hidden", hugged her, and said that she would protect her in the future.

She knew what Tang Jinlou had intent when talking about this, but now she could not let go of her parents' figure falling on the tree no matter what. After coming out of Songshan Lane, she could not get rid of the nightmare memory. Su Yanyue always felt that this was the instructions of her parents' spirit in heaven to her.

Su Yanyue thought about this, and could no longer bear Tang Jinlou's gaze and lowered her head.

"Yan'er, look up at me." Tang Jinlou said softly.

Su Yanyue lowered her head and didn't speak.

The two of them remained silent, and the mountains suddenly became quiet, only the strong wind blew the sound of the plants and trees.

I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly I heard Tang Jinlou whisper: “Yan'er, I’ll show you something.”

He took out something from his arms and handed it to Su Yanyue. It was a jade pendant with extremely rough workmanship.

Su Yanyue held him in her hand and asked softly: "What is this?"

"Can't you see it? Of course it's a jade pendant." Tang Jinlou smiled, but he felt a lot of emotion in his heart. He remembered the desolate back of his father that night. His eyes rolled and said, "Yan'er, I haven't given you a gift for a long time. Can I give you this jade?"

Su Yanyue was indeed trapped and raised her head. Although she could not hide her sadness, she had a naughty and vigilant look in her eyes: "Why give it to me?"

Tang Jinlou said, "Because this can only be given to you."

"Why?" Su Yanyue continued to ask, but seemed to suddenly understand something, and there was a hint of panic in her breath.

Tang Jinlou looked at her without blinking, making Su Yanyue feel frizzy. Tang Jinlou suddenly smiled and said, "Guess."

Su Yanyue said angrily: "How can I guess?"

Tang Jinlu said, "It's okay if you can't guess it, but I'll give it to you."

Su Yanyue was angry and anxious. Su suddenly felt that what Tang Jinlou hadn't said must be what he wanted to hear. She felt a little panicked and a little depressed.

Tang Jinlou suddenly took her hand and took the jade pendant back from her hand. Su Yanyue's heart suddenly hanged for some reason, as if it stopped beating for a moment.

"I'll help you bring her with you, okay?" Su Yanyue's heart suddenly began to beat again, but it kept beating. For a moment, the blood circulation in the whole body intensified, the blood flow on her face was sufficient, and her little face turned red without realizing it.

Su Yanyue calmed down and said, "I haven't even worn this jade pendant, how can I carry it?"

Tang Jinlou smiled, "This is not a problem for me." He raised his left hand and immediately revealed the sword spikes of the sword in his hand. Su Yanyue said with a "Oh" and said, "How can this work..." Before he finished speaking, Tang Jinlou had already pulled off a cluster of sword spikes, and the remaining sword spikes on the hilt immediately seemed messy, like a grass chicken's hairstyle. Su Yanyue stomped her feet and snatched the sword spikes from Tang Jinlou, and said with pain: "This sword is the sword brought back by the master from Longquan Sword Forging Valley. How can you treat it like this?"

Tang Jinlou smiled indifferently: "It's just that he pulled off some sword spikes. The sword is not used to kill people."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Su Yanyue's movements paused suddenly. Tang Jinlou immediately knew that he had said the wrong thing. The word "kill" must have involved Su Yanyue's sensitive nerves again.

The two were speechless, the light of the sunset gradually subsided and dimmed, and the setting sun gradually hid into the scenery of mountains. A crescent moon emerged from the clouds, quietly sprinkling a cold light.

Su Yanyue quietly sorted the sword spikes into a line and handed them to Tang Jinlou.

Tang Jinlou put the jade pendant into her hand: "Put them together." Su Yanyue responded, and in a blink of an eye he found a strange smile on Tang Jinlou's face. Suddenly he remembered something, his face turned red, and he stuffed the long thread made of the jade pendant and sword spikes into Tang Jinlou's hand, and he went from a distance to a stone on the cliff.

Tang Jinlou smiled, looked at the jade pendant in his hand, stretched out his right hand, gently stroked the texture of the surface of the jade pendant, immersed in memories.

After a while, Tang Jinlou came to Su Yanyue with a jade pendant. Su Yanyue turned around and deliberately refused to see him. A man gave a woman a jade pendant and brought it with him with his own hands. It was not much different from the subsequent kneeling ring. Su Yanyue had been deliberately avoiding him because of shame since she met Tang Jinlou.

Tang Jinlu said, "Yan'er, I'll wear it for you."

Su Yanyue's back was facing him and did not speak. At this time, Tang Jinlou certainly understood that not speaking was a default. He smiled and walked around Su Yanyue's neck with both hands and pulled back the threads on both sides. His hands gently brushed Su Yanyue's skin, but these slight touches made Su Yanyue tremble.

Tang Jinlou felt Su Yanyue's trembling. At that moment, what he thought was not the desire to speak many times before, nor the beautiful expression she showed from time to time. He did not think of those beautiful moments that made him most moved, but suddenly remembered the little girl who made him hug in his arms more than ten years ago and could not stop her trembling all over her body.

"Yan'er." Tang Jinlou said tremblingly. He reached out and walked through Su Yanyue's hair, gently stroked her cheek.

Su Yanyue suddenly stood up. She turned around, raised her head and looked at Tang Jinlou seriously. Her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were filled with water, but her eyes were filled with wanting to speak but stopped.

Tang Jinlou looked at her lovingly. He understood Su Yanyue's eyes. She was on the Sigu Cliff of Mount Hua, on Chaoyang Peak of Mount Hua, outside Hengshan City, in the restaurant at the foot of Mount Song. She was like this countless times. Looking at Tang Jinlou, she wanted to speak, but she wanted to speak.

Tang Jinlou was in a state of excitement and couldn't help but stretch out his hands, held up her face, and stared at her beautiful face in a daze.

Tang Jinlou has been brewing for a long time and wants to say "I love you, marry me." He feels it is too literary, and he also feels that this sentence seems to be the same as "I am sleepy with you". Tang Jinlou, who has excellent swordsmanship, doesn't understand. This sentence may make Su Yanyue feel very beautiful.

After all, Young Master Tang was recognized as a talented man who could at least pass the imperial examination. After thinking about it, he quickly decided to express his meaning in another way, "Yan'er, you must wear this jade pendant well."

Su Yanyue just looked at him and said kindly.

Tang Jinlou smiled, "You can't give it to anyone, because... he can only wear it on my wife."

Su Yanyue's body shook suddenly and she stared at him in a daze. After a moment, her cheeks were bright red and bright.

Tang Jinlou held her face and couldn't help but leaned over her mouth. Su Yanyue's body trembled slightly. She leaned softly on Tang Jinlou, her cheeks kept hiding to the side, but her hands were tightly wrapped around Tang Jinlou's waist. Tang Jinlou searched for a long time, but Su Yanyue just blushed and avoided. Finally, she had to kiss her fragrant soft cheeks gently. This little contact made the two young men and women feel as if they had eaten aged wine, sweet to the bone marrow. It was drunk into her heart.

Tang Jinlou pulled Su Yanyue to sit on the stone. The moonlight was beautiful, but Tang Jinlou began to talk about very serious issues. He said with a smile: "Yan'er, now, you can't leave me alone and go to Zuo Lengchan."

Su Yanyue was silent for a moment and said dejectedly: "Cousin, I don't want you to take risks for me."

Tang Jinlou's mind turned aside and said, "If you don't take risks, you can't take risks... Yan'er, although I'm not proficient in poisoning, traps, and hidden weapons, I'm much better than you. If we want to take revenge, we naturally don't have to talk about morality. At that time, with my swordsmanship and you hide aside and sneak attack, it's much easier than if you assassinate Zuo Lengchan alone."

Su Yanyue said: "There is no need for sneak attacks, I just need to secretly poison his food..."

Tang Jinlou didn't want to refute her naive ideas, but said: "Yes, poisoning is the safest way, but it's so difficult to poison Zuo Lengchan. If others find out, they must be subdued as soon as possible to avoid them wanting Zuo Lengchan to inform him. You must be less skilled in such things than me. I was in Hengshan..."

Tang Jinlou was talking nonstop to promote his murderous talent, and Su Yanyue's tears suddenly fell, "We are not his opponents."

While Tang Jinlou was mercilessly wiping her tears, she let go of most of her heart. The alliance period was about to come. What Tang Jinlou was most worried about was that Su Yanyue ran to assassinate Zuo Lengchan while he was not paying attention. Now he was much relaxed. Tang Jinlou decided to defeat Zuo Lengchan and even kill him when competing in swords, even under the viewing of the martial arts heroes.

The two were originally worried about everyone's inquiry, but when they returned to the yard, they found that there were not many people in the yard. Tang Jinlou was extremely surprised and was about to send Su Yanyue into the room, but a creaking sound was heard. The main door of the room where Yue Buqun lived opened. Yue Buqun's face was dark and said, "Lu'er, come here."

Tang Jinlou felt a sank. He didn't know what was going on. He signaled to Su Yanyue, who was worried, and asked her to go back to her room. He quickly walked into Yue Buqun's house.
