Chapter 16

For Lan, it is indeed a great pleasure to see Brother Qiu again. His parents died, no relatives, friends, no brothers or sisters. There was only one master above him. Although he was kind to him, he always felt a nameless pressure because of excessive attention - of course, that was a long time ago, and now the master is used to ignoring him... If he can occasionally notice him occasionally , he can't help but be flattered.

In Yu Lan's life, there are only two people who are the most important, one is the master, and the second is Brother Qiu.

His feelings for the master are a little complicated. Regarding the entanglement between the master and his parents, he learned a lot from his mother and knew that his father chose his mother instead of the master... And the master obviously still loved his father.

Before his death, his father also told him that he was most sorry for the three women in his life. One was his master Xiao Luofeng. She raised him to adult. Not only did he repay him, but also made her angry to death, which was simply impossible to redeem! The other is his sister, Xiao Xia, who ruined the woman's life with his own hands, but he didn't even have the courage to say a word of apology - although she may no longer care.

He wants him to replace him and stay with her.

For a period of time, Yu Lan even had a little resistance to what his father said, although he never said it. The better the master treats him, the more uncomfortable he feels... He thought that she probably regarded him as his father's stand-in. This idea made him very unhappy. He was obviously not his father! Why should he repay the debts owed by his father? What's more... She is so much bigger than him, and she is still his master. How can she have that idea?!

Later, when I grew up, I knew the truth of paying off my father's debts and son, and I also somewhat understood the suffering of some masters. I knew how to understand, but I finally knew that I had thought too much.

The master wanted to teach him to become a talent, hoping that he could be successful, fulfill his father's will, and revive the Qingxia faction, but he did not confuse him with his father, let alone have that kind of idea that should not be - it can be said that because of what happened in those years, the master had taken it away. Naturally, she did not hate his father. Naturally, there was no hatred. No love.

In her heart, she has regarded his father as a pure brother, nothing else.

He finally understood this. When he wanted to repay her well, she completely changed her mind because of Brother Qiu's affairs. From then on, she turned everyone away - including him.

......

As for Xiao Qiu, he has always regarded Xiao Qiu as his own brother. Although he is always reluctant to talk to him and his character is also a little strange, he knows in his heart that this is only after he experiences the cold and warmth of the world that he hides his soft inside tightly, leaving only a pair of tentacles carefully. Test others, but he is good in nature.

I have to say that the big reason why cannon fodder is cannon fodder is that they don't know people clearly and can't blame others. ←_←!

......

Yu Lan had to pass about half a cup of tea in the pavilion outside the yard where Xiao Qiu lived, and Xiao Qiu came late. He came slowly from the heavy Su Huamu at the end of the corridor, dressed in black clothes, and stood upright like a Zhilan jade tree. The little teenager two years ago has now begun to have the scale of a mature man. His original exquisite facial features are now quite profound and three-dimensional, and his figure is getting longer and longer. He looks very tall and very attractive.

His younger brother has always been very good-looking. When he was young, he seemed to be too delicate to distinguish between men and women, but now he no longer gives people such an illusion. He is still good-looking. It is a beauty that makes him of the same sex amazing and even self-desolate, but it will no longer confuse his gender - there is no feminine softness in him. On the contrary, even if he comes so quietly, the whole person can be painted into the painting, but he still dares not have a trace of blasphemy.

Yu Lan is a little envious of this younger brother. He has always been better than him and better than him in everything. Now he has made a name in the world, and he is still mediocre in this Ziqing faction. If there is no emotion at all, it is also false.

However, he knows that he can never adapt to that kind of intrigue life.

He is willing to be plain, so that in the face of this overly excellent brother, even if he is envious, he can still maintain a peaceful mentality.

The angle of Yu Lan's station is a little biased. He can see people coming, but it's just a green forest. After a look, he planned to go out and say hello to Brother Qiu, but he was surprised to find that there seemed to be more anger between his eyebrows. If it was just gloomy in the past, but now... Yu Lan somehow had an indescribable uncomfortableness.

Xiao Qiu has been walking to the corner. She raised her eyes slightly and saw Yu Lan at a glance. There was no surprise. The anger between her eyebrows dissipated, her face was calm, and her tone was calm, and her tone greeted indifferently: "Brother Yu, everything is fine."

"Brother Qiu." Yu Lan smiled shyly and soon left his strange thoughts and got up to meet him. I'm doing well." He stretched out his hand happily and patted Xiao Qiu on the shoulder with a little emotion - Brother Qiu was actually taller than him! Ignoring the loss in his heart, he greeted Xiao Qiu into the pavilion with a smile, sat down opposite him, and said, "As always, nothing has changed. On the contrary, Brother Qiu is becoming more and more heroic. I haven't seen you for two years. How is Brother Qiu doing?

"It's acceptable." The tone was calm, as if no matter how big the boulder was, it could not shock him.

"I have also heard of what Brother Qiu has done in the world in recent years. At the beginning, Brother Qiu picked the extremely vicious Seven Wolf Village with his own efforts to eliminate harm for the people. Later, he built this series of achievements. Even the "Jianghu Chivalrous List" written by Bai Xiaosheng has been recorded, and it has been talked about by people so far. He has also won the title of jade-faced Xiaolang in the world. I really sighed.

Xiao Qiu raised her eyebrows slightly, not surprised or happy, not angry or sad: "Is brother laughing at me?"

Yu Lan choked: "How can it be?"

Xiao Qiu said lightly, "That nickname is just a joke of people in the world. Does your brother also want to make fun of me with this?"

"I don't know..." Yu Lan looked at Xiao Qiujun's abnormal face and felt very complicated. Although he was not as smart as Xiao Qiu, he was not a fool after all. He didn't understand the meaning of this sentence. The world is far from as calm and simple as it seems. Only those who have Wandered through it will know how deep the water is. Thinking that Xiao Qiu, a teenager with no background has achieved such a reputation in the world in a short time, there must be many people who envy and jealous. There was no support, but he still had a too beautiful skin, and I'm afraid the insults and provocations he received would not be less... And he borne it alone. Yu Lan was a little ashamed. As his brother, he had done nothing for him. Fortunately, he still felt that he was very competent. The voice lowered unconsciously: "Brother Qiu, I didn't mean that."

Xiao Qiu drew a trace of imperceptible coldness at the corners of his mouth.

Yes or no, it has nothing to do with him, and he never cares about irrelevant people.

Yu Lan sincerely praised him: "You are really good enough. As a senior, I am not as good as you. If it were me, I would never have done that.

"Brother praised it." Xiao Qiu raised her eyes slightly, and her eyes were deep and she couldn't see clearly - there is nothing in the world that can't be obtained, only you are bad enough; and nothing can't be done, as long as you are willing to pay enough. If you haven't tried it, how can you know it?"

Yu Lan only thought that this younger brother was cold and kind-hearted, comforting him and did not take it to his heart. He said honestly, "Even if I don't try, I will know if I can't do it. I still have some self-knowledge and understand what kind of material I am. Even the master has said that Brother Qiu is not a thing in the pool. One day you will always be famous and let the world remember your name.

Xiao Qiu's eyes moved: "Master, do you say that?"

"Can this still deceive you? Naturally, the master's evaluation of Brother Qiu is very high!"

Xiao Qiu's thin lips were slightly squeezed and did not say anything.

Yu Lan said, "My brother has not heard from me for more than two years. Now that he comes back, the master will be very happy. You have to spend more time with the master. She must miss you very much.

"Is that so... I thought it was enough for the master to be accompanied by his brother." He smiled at the corners of his mouth, but his eyes were so cold that he had no emotion at all.

Yu Lan did not notice that something was wrong with Xiao Qiu, but instinctively felt that this was wrong. His face was tight. He blamed him with a little dissatisfaction: "Brother Qiu, what are you talking about! In the master's heart, you and I are all her disciples, and we are all the same. How can we favor one over the other as you said?

"...Brother misunderstood, I didn't mean that." Xiao Qiu said calmly, "I have been wandering outside these years, and I have few opportunities to come back. Fortunately, with my brother accompanying me, Chenghuan... didn't worry too much about me.

When Yu Lan heard the words, his expression slowly eased. He looked at Xiao Qiu with a pleasant face and said, "Brother Qiu's words are heavy. It's my job to do filial piety for the master. Since Brother Qiu is back, please serve the master with me. The master will certainly be very happy. He sighed, "Although the master doesn't say anything, I can see that she still cares about you very much from the bottom of her heart. In the past two years, as long as it is about Brother Qiu, everything will be heard clearly. In the half year when you lost the news, the master took care of you a lot and lost a lot of weight. If Brother Qiu hadn't returned safely now, I think the master would have gone to the Dragon Valley to find you. He said seriously, "Brother Qiu has always been more promising than me. Now I am happy to have such an achievement. Now in the master's heart, I'm afraid I'm not as good as Brother Qiu's. The last sentence is self-mjoicing with envy.

→__→! How on earth did you see this?

If Xiao Song knew what Yu Lan said at this time, he would cry to death on the spot.

Misunderstanding, this is really a big misunderstanding!

Xiao Qiu is Xiao Song's first defense object in the world. The so-called acquaintance knows the enemy and is invincible in a hundred battles. What's more, it is still such a strong and weak rhythm. Does she dare not ask about him?!

As for her becoming thinner after he disappeared... That's because Miss Xiao Song, who had already understood the plot, knew that this thing would not be what it used to be after coming out of the Dragon Valley, and it would become more and more difficult to deal with, so she was so anxious that she was worried about gray hair... It was completely different from Yu Lan's understanding! How about the two?!

Xiao Qiu is still calm and his face does not change: "The master cares about his brother as much as anyone else. Why should he... be ashamed of himself?"

Yu Lan smiled and said, "I'm just saying that. Brother Qiu doesn't have to take it seriously. The master treats me well, and the kindness is as heavy as a mountain, like a reconstruction. Even if I am poor, I can't pay it back in my life! For the rest of the day, I can only do my best to accompany the master, share her worries and make her happy. How can I bury the master here and add obstacles to her? What I just said is just a joke. He gently patted Xiao Qiu's arm without noticing the coldness bursting out from Xiao Qiu's eyes. He joked to himself, "Brother Qiu is now more and more steady and serious, and he can't even make a joke."

Xiao Qiu looked at Yu Lan and did not say anything. He casually played with a delicate white jade cup in his hand.

Yu Lan has long been used to this brother's silence. When he first came to the Ziqing School, he hasn't said a word for three months. He has waited patiently, not to mention now. Although it is still quiet, it is more than a little better than then. Without caring at all, Yu Lan said to himself, "How long do you plan to stay here when Brother Qiu comes back this time?" He sighed, "There are only so many people in such a large area, which is always too lonely."

I didn't expect Xiao Qiu to agree with his boring words, but unexpectedly, he really opened his mouth, but his words were amazing. Isn't the senior brother about to get married? At that time, if you add some children, you won't look lonely.

Yu Lan was stunned and then shocked: "What marriage? Who do you marry? Brother, don't make such a joke!" Why doesn't he know when he is going to get married?

"Isn't it?" Xiao Qiu raised his eyebrows slightly, not impatient, elegantly poured a cup of tea and handed it to Yu Lan.

Yu Lan took it in a daze and said in a trance, "I never knew there was such a thing. Maybe Brother Qiu, you listen..."

"I have also seen the little bean sprout girl several times. Although she is slightly unsteady, she is also more naive and valuable..." His voice did not fluctuate at all, and a pair of swallow eyes swept to Yu Lan, a little lonely: "If you really like it, it doesn't matter if you marry."

In Yulan's impression, this is definitely the first time for Brother Qiu to praise people so much. If the situation changes, he will be shocked... However, at this moment, he really doesn't have that joking mind.

Xiao Qiu's meaning could not be more obvious!

Yu Lan was stunned. Why did he suddenly have something to do with the little bean sprout?! And... how could he marry a little bean sprout! There is no relationship between him and her at all!" Brother Qiu, don't talk nonsense. This joke is not good. It doesn't matter. After all, the little bean sprout is still an unmarried girl. If you say so, she will ruin her reputation!"

Xiao Qiu's face remained unchanged and said word by word, "Brother should know me... I'm not kidding."

He does know how a person who rarely speaks can be interested in joking with people! What's more, it's such a big joke!

Looking at Brother Qiu's appearance, it should be true.

Yu Lan collapsed his shoulders and was hit hard. He still asked persistently, "Where did you hear these remarks?"

"Naturally..." Xiao Qiu took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Of course it was what the master said to me."

"Master?!" Yu Lan finally collapsed and suddenly stood up. He shook his body because he was too anxious. What on earth is going to do? Also, how could the master say such a thing? His heart seemed to be turned upside down. At least he suppressed and reluctantly stabilized his mind. His face was solemn, "Brother Qiu, I have something else to do today. I'm afraid I can't talk with you anymore. If you are free another day, you can talk about it again... As for today's incident, I hope Brother Qiu will keep it a secret for me and don't let the little bean sprout know." He felt that the last sentence was really unspeakable.

Xiao Qiu raised his eyes slightly and didn't intend to embarrass him. He spit out words like gold: "Okay."

Yu Lan breathed a sigh of relief. After thanking him, he turned around and hurried away. The panicked appearance was completely self-retained. He had not even found that the corners of his clothes were torn by the flowers and branches that were poked out at the corner of the corridor. Yu Lan never thought that he would think so in the master's heart that he would want to put him together with the little bean sprouts! He must stop her!

Yu Lan ran to Xiao Song with an anxious and angry face, and Xiao Song was happily having dinner. All the unpleasant things that happened during the day were temporarily put aside by her. At this time, her eyes were only the crystal elbow with a large pot of color and fragrance in front of her. As a carnivore, the girl who served her this dish is so sweet!

"Can you cook bean sprouts?" Xiao Song nibbled happily with a pig's trotter. Well, it tastes really good!

"That's because she has been determined to be a virtuous and gentle woman since she was a child! Cooking such a small thing is the first step to becoming a virtuous woman. You must know it!"

Xiao Song was embarrassing: "..."

The little bean sprout suddenly straightened and said very seriously, "And... girl, I want to emphasize it again, please call me little bean sprout!"

"Well, I see, bean sprouts."

Little bean sprout shed two rows of waterfall-like wide-faced tears: "..." Since you like to call her bean sprouts so much, why did you add a "small" when you named her? Isn't this cheating her feelings?

Xiao Song didn't know that he had inadvertently hurt the fragile heart of a future virtuous woman. He asked himself, "Since you are so good at cooking, why haven't you cooked for me before?"

The little bean sprout girl is energetic and righteous, and has no shy meaning: "They learn cooking for their future men. How can they casually make it for others except my future men!"

Xiao Song choked: "...cough cough~" Bean sprout girl, the meaning of your words is a little strange!

Is it possible... Do you really like her? ←_←!

Can she refuse?
