“Here.”
Lin He took out something from it and handed it to Qin Yu.
Qin Yu took it and saw that it was a jade pendant with warm touch and fine texture. There was a dragon hovering on it, and the carving was meticulous and lifelike.
Qin Yu rubbed the jade with his fingertips, and said in a low voice, “Thank you, I like it very much.” ”
“As long as you like it,” Lin He smiled lightly, his beautiful face was particularly touching, he took a step forward and continued, “As soon as I met you, I regarded you as a close friend and I couldn’t help but want to get close, so I spoke a lot without restraint, please forgive me.”
He was explaining his mention of a predestined relationship in the past life, saying that he just treats him as a friend, but his shy look and gift-giving behavior from time to time don’t mean that.
But in the haze, there is a taste of wanting to refuse and welcome. If other people face such an outburst, it is hard to guarantee that they will not be very happy.
Attacking the heart is the most important thing, really worthy of being the protagonist.
Qin Yu glanced at the jade pendant in his hand and said, “I’m already very satisfied with the gift from Lin He, but I didn’t expect to hear that you regarded me as a friend again. It’s too late for me to be happy. How could I blame you for your sincerity?”
Hearing his name said from the other party’s mouth, Lin He was inexplicably in a good mood, and he was even more overjoyed to hear what he said later, “It seems that we are determined to be good friends.”
“However,” he said after a pause, looking at Qin Yu’s handsome face, he continued, “However, don’t dislike me.”
“Why?” Qin Yu said in a surprised tone, “Lin He has many friends, and there must be many who are better than me. Yes, I should be worried that Lin He will dislike me.”
Lin He retorted subconsciously, “No, Qin Yu, you misunderstood, I have never had friends, your worries are completely nonsense.”
As a result, after he finished speaking, the astonishment on Qin Yu’s face became even stronger.
What’s going on? Lin He panicked. Fortunately, Qin Yu answered his doubts in time, “The matter at Qiongtai…”
Although he didn’t finish talking, Lin He already understood everything. He had admitted that Lu Meng was his good friend at the Qiongtai flower viewing feast and even apologized to Qin Yu for him, and they even mentioned it at noon.
But just now he said without hesitation that he had no friends, which was a blatant slap in the face.
But if he repents and says that what he just said was wrong, it will appear that he is insincere and talking nonsense. Thinking about it further, it will also leave a bad impression about him in Qin Yu’s heart and reduce the goodwill he has finally built up.
The more Lin He thought about it, the more depressed he became, and his dislike for Lu Meng and Jia Yi increased a lot. These two people have only caused him trouble. At the same time, he also had a vague resentment towards Qin Yu, resenting him for putting him in a dilemma, not being able to step down and losing face.
“Lin He?”
“Ah?” Facing Qin Yu’s concerned eyes, Lin He realized that he might be in a daze, and he quickly came up with the reason he just thought of to answer Qin Yu’s previous question.
“Qin Yu, as you don’t know, since the Qiongtai incident, I have cut off contact with Lu Meng and Jia Yi, and there is very little communication between us.” Speaking of this, he lowered his head, his tone was a little lonely, “We are no longer friends. So I am not fooling you by saying that I have no friends.”
When Qin Yu heard the words, a deep look slipped through his black eyes, and his thin lips curled up slightly, “Lu and Jia are stubborn and have bad morals. It is true that we cannot have a close friendship with them. Xianjun did the right thing.”
Whether the character is good or not, Linhe patronized them and didn’t even notice that Qin Yu didn’t call his name.
But now that it’s all said and done, Lin He can only admit it and even if he didn’t intend to cut off contact with them at first, he has to do so now. Embarrassed, he replied, “You’re right.”
Qin Yu’s lips curved up slightly.
After saying a few more irrelevant things, Lin He left, but judging from his posture, he seemed to be running away.
After Lin He left, Qin Yu roughly played with the jade pendant, then threw it to Jiao Yi, “Find a place to put it away.”
In the past, received gifts and the like were placed in the treasury of Cheng Ming Palace, but now this are so casual and combined with the past incidents, Jiao Yí has estimated Lin He’s position in Qin Yu’s heart.
“Also,” Qin Yu walked a few steps, then turned around and said to Jiao Yi, “That matter can be arranged.” At this time, the moonlight shone on Qin Yu, making his delicate eyebrows and eyes deeper and eye-catching, it also adds a bit of alienation, as if nothing under the sky can enter his eyes.
As soon as Jiao Yi looked at him, the words ‘delicate beauty’ suddenly popped up in his mind. After he realized it, he denied it.
Then Jiao Yi bowed down and responded as gently and solemnly as he has done countless times before, “Yes, Your Highness.”
***********
“They’re all wearing masks, let’s go buy two and wear them.” Qin Yu glanced at the people on Qingshi Road wearing masks and proposed to Jiao Yi.
As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, Jiao Yi handed him a black jade mask, “I’ve prepared it in advance.”
Qin Yu took it with a smile, “I’m impressed.”
In fact, when he heard that Qin Yu was going to the human world to watch the Lantern Festival, Jiao Yi started to make preparations. One is to cater to the customs of the Lantern Festival, and the other is that Qin Yu’s appearance is really eye-catching in the human world.
After putting on the mask, the two continued to walk forward. There is a full moon hanging in the sky, the moonlight is bright and clear. The ground is brightly lit by countless lanterns and countless small stalls gather on both sides of the road. There are many tourists on the road, walking in twos and threes. Most of them carry lanterns of different styles and colors, although they all wear masks on their faces, their bright smiles are faintly visible. Overall it looks very festive.
After walking around for a while, Qin Yu stopped in front of a stall selling lanterns. “Which one do you want, my Lord? I’ll get it for you.” The stall owner was a middle-aged man with a smile on his face. As soon as he saw Qin Yu, he warmly entertained him.
Qin Yu’s eyes were attracted by a lantern in the corner. The style of the lantern was not attractive, it was a common and ordinary style, and even the color was the most common plain white.
But Qin Yu was attracted because of the painting on the lantern, which painted a wintersweet flower the color of blood.
Qin Yu fell in love with it immediately. He walked a few steps, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, another hand grabbed it and took it.
At the same time, Qin Yu smelled a cold breath, like snow and pine, which smelled so familiar.
Turning to look at the man in white who suddenly appeared, Qin Yu said unhurriedly, “Dijun.”
It was not a question, but an affirmation.
Hearing this, Xun Ling turned to face Qin Yu, his face was covered with a white mask and his voice was cold, “What a coincidence, I didn’t expect that we would meet by chance.”
“Meet by chance?” Qin Yu laughed as he shook his head, obviously not believing it.
System: Sudden systemic attack.
The current development has completely deviated from the plot. In fact, Qin Yu is not too surprised by his arrival. Isn’t he here just to warn him not to approach Lin He.
“Why? Don’t you believe me?” Xun Ling seemed dissatisfied.
“if you say so.” Qin Yu had no intention of arguing with him and glanced at the lantern in his hand, “This lantern is also suitable for the emperor.”
Looking at the ordinary lantern in his hand, Xun Ling frowned slightly. When he came back to his senses, he heard Qin Yu ask the price and before he could, Qin Yu had already paid.
Xun Ling’s heartstrings tightened, “Boss, I’ll pay, you return his money.”
“Don’t listen to him, Boss.” Qin Yu was about to leave after speaking.
Xun Ling grabbed his sleeve, “What do you mean?”
“Didn’t I say that I think this lantern suits you.”
“So?” Xun Ling stared at Qin Yu unkindly. As soon as he met him, the good temper he had cultivated for hundreds of years would turn into ashes in an instant. It was obvious that the other party followed Xue Ling when he was a child, why is he like this now?
Childhood! Xun Ling’s eyelashes twitched, he didn’t know why he thought of Qin Yu’s childhood.
Qin Yu didn’t notice his strangeness, and replied, “That’s why I want to give it to you.”
“You want to please me?” Xun Ling pulled his lips.
“Why should I please you?” Qin Yu was puzzled.
Xun Ling wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by the stall owner, “You two are like young couples, are you having a fight?”
Couples? Qin Yu glanced at the stall owner, he was really smart, but when Xun Ling became quiet, he left quickly.
However, before he had gone far, he was stopped again. Qin Yu rubbed his eyebrows and said, “Does the Emperor have something to say?”
Xun Ling was still immersed in the astonishing speech of the lantern stall owner. With a cold expression, he said, “I want to say, don’t get close to Lin He.”
Finally coming to the point, Qin Yu relaxed, “Can the Emperor give me a reason?”
“Because…” Xun Ling hesitated for a long time and didn’t speak out.
“Because the Emperor likes him?” Qin Yu said for him.
Xun Ling seemed to be caught in the heat for a moment, he wanted to refute, but when the words came to his lips, he realized that he really had a crush on Lin He. Although he didn’t know when he started to resist this in his heart.
Qin Yu continued, “Because Dijun likes someone, I can’t get close to him. Doesn’t Dijun feel that he is too domineering?”
Jiao Yí spoke up at this moment, “It’s a little wrong. His Highness didn’t take the initiative to approach Immortal Lin He, the fact is just the opposite.”
Yes, everything is exactly the opposite, Qin Yu couldn’t help thinking.
Xun Ling was speechless for a while, because they were right, but he still said to Qin Yu, “You’d better avoid him. The main reason why I prevent you from meeting him is because I’m afraid you will kill him.”
Kill him? Qin Yu raised his eyebrows and his voice was no longer gentle, “Dijun thinks that I killed Qin Xuan? So you also think that I will kill Linhe who has similarities with Qin Xuan?”
“Isn’t it?”
Qin Yu snorted coldly, “Qin Xuan rebelled for the throne, why should he not die? Besides, according to the situation at the time, either I killed him or he killed me. One of us must die. Dijun blaming me and loathing me because of this is not a good thing.” It is rare for Qin Yu to hurt others like this, so the rare warmth in the early years should be regarded as a dream.
“You…”
Reason told Xun Ling to give Qin Yu a hard lesson but he suddenly hesitated and resisted emotionally, but in the end reason still defeated emotion.
Xun Ling also wanted to say some harsh words but suddenly panicked in his heart, as if something in the dark was reminding him not to do things that he would regret.
Regret? Xun Ling pulled his lips indifferently, completely dismissing it. As the master of a world, he didn’t think that there was something he could regret.
So, he said to Qin Yu, “Qin Yu, you are doomed to be lonely in this life and the person you love is destined not to love you.”
Xun Ling wanted to say life after life, but Qin Yu’s eyes changed suddenly.
Under the moonlight, those eyes reflecting thousands of lights were really beautiful. After finishing speaking, Xun Ling felt empty in his heart, as if a piece was missing, as if this life would never be perfect again.
But the words have already been spoken, and it is hard to take back the water that has been spilled.
