Chapter 28 Floating Clouds
Is there really a theory of karma in this lifetime?
The system thinks it doesn't exist.But when it saw Xie Wan sitting at the table with his head slightly lowered, he felt that what his host said just now was not a casual sentence.It's rare, the system also wants to imitate A Wan and sighed.
[System: Ah Wan, I forced you, don't blame yourself. 】
The system wanted Xie Wan to feel better, so it said so.
Xie Wan shook her head, poured the remaining tea in the other cup on the ground, and put the two teacups upside down.
【Xie Wan: Stupid or not, you were right to remind me, I was the one who hesitated.Procrastination is harming others and ourselves, and it is not good for them. 】
Xie Wan was the only one left in the room, she no longer needed to act perverse and domineering, nor did she need to smile all the time, as before, the period just after the task was over was the only time she could relax.Xie Wan's face was expressionless, the dim yellow candlelight projected on her face, and the long hanging eyelashes formed a faint shadow under the eye sockets, lonely and lonely.This was the first time, Xie Wan felt tired.This kind of tiredness from the heart is different from the tiredness after running around and exhausting the body, it brings more emptiness and loss to Xie Wan.
It even made her want to stop.
The system asked her if it was because she liked iron hands, Xie Wan shook her head and denied it.But no matter how sweet the secret sounds, she feels ashamed.
She was ashamed of a heart that sincerely liked her.She lied to him.
Xie Wan is unwilling to talk romantically with the task target, and any approach with a purpose, even if it is a heart-to-heart exchange, will never see the light of day from the starting point.And after the task in a world is over, he has to withdraw cleanly, which will make Xie Wan feel that he is cheating his feelings.After one world after another, Xie Wan gradually learned to grasp this just-right scale, even if she disappeared, it would not have much impact on another person's life.But the fate is very strange, if they insist on meeting again, everything will be messed up.
Xie Wan didn't know when Tie Shou fell in love with her, but she could only choose to be relentless.
[System: Ah Wan, you are much more heartless this time than last time. 】Hate Iron Hands?
Xie Wan heard what the system meant.She didn't say much, just shook her head again.She doesn't hate Iron Hands, but since she doesn't like each other and there is no fate between the two, why bother to let the other party insist on such meaningless things alone.It was precisely because of his deep love that Xie Wan had to be more cruel.Not a word of explanation, no detours at all.
In the next life, there will be no thousands of faces in the world, and there will be no A Wan.If she said yes, she lied to him again.
What's more, if you do it, you do it, and if you make a mistake, you make a mistake.What's the use of talking more.
Xie Wan blew out the candle and lay down on the bed trying to close her eyes and fall asleep.
After stabbing Li Xun Huan, she chose to drink away her sorrows, this time Xie Wan did not do so.
But when to fall asleep, maybe only Xie Wan knows.
Xie Wan woke up before dawn.Although there was no dream all night, Xie Wan didn't feel that she slept comfortably, but if she turned around and fell asleep again, Xie Wan couldn't fall asleep either.Xie Wan opened and closed her eyes on the bed for a while, then simply sat up and put on her shoes by the bed.Walking to the side of the bed and pushing open the closed windows on both sides, a faint light came into the room, and the pale golden light fell all the way to the dressing table opposite the window.
Xie Wan washed up and sat in front of the bronze mirror.I didn't look carefully last night, but now Xie Wan noticed that her face was slightly peeled, probably because she had been disguised on her face for too long a few days ago.Xie Wan frowned immediately, and depressedly put her left and right sides back and forth in front of the mirror.
【Xie Wan: Does this count as a work-related injury? Tonger, I have become ugly. 】
[System: Wait a minute. 】
In Xie Wan's hand was a small green sandalwood jar.
【Xie Wan: My family Tonger really treats me the best, I love you! 】Produced by the system, the quality is absolutely guaranteed.Her family leader is really a good partner who does more and talks less.
Xie Wan dipped a small amount of ointment on his face with his fingers, and after a while, the delicate and flawless skin returned to Xie Wan's face.Xie Wan took a serious look, thanked her family leader, and the ointment in her hand disappeared.
[System: Thank you very much. 】The system tried to figure out Xie Wan's mood, and seeing that she was not in a depressed mood like last night, it breathed a sigh of relief.It was very afraid that Xie Wan would not be able to persist.There are so many people who are walking, and they have obviously experienced strong winds and waves, but they can no longer hold on when the wind is calm.This is the so-called straw that broke the camel's back.It is already so difficult to walk down a single avenue, not to mention Xie Wan walking back and forth frequently.
The reunion of the old people, once again, will only add to the sadness.
Even if Xie Wan was ruthless when it was time to be ruthless and did it extremely decisively, the system didn't know whether she would accumulate pain over and over again.And before this kind of pain can be resolved, it is backlogged by another pain that immediately follows.Its host is not used to expressing her heart to others, and the system will never be able to help her in this regard.
At Xie Wan's hand was the disguise she tore off yesterday. After looking at it for a while, Xie Wan smiled gently and disposed of it.After that, she probably won't have any chance to use disguise frequently.
【Xie Wan: Since you woke up so early, let's go out and have breakfast. 】
The system has no objections.
She was already standing outside the door, Xie Wan closed the door with both hands, and at the same time, her eyes fell on the table where she and Tie Shou were sitting together last night.Xie Wan smiled slightly.
Tie Butou, Tie Shou, and Xiao Xia will never see each other again.
Yangcheng is full of delicacies, and you may find unexpected delicacies in any street stall.The stall owner had just buried himself in wiping the table and was about to take care of the boiling water in his pot when a customer sat down on his stall.The stall owner gave the customer a curious look.It's not that no one has come to eat his wontons at this hour, but it's the first time for the stall owner to see such a beautiful girl appearing at his stall alone.
"Boss, one serving of wonton noodles and one serving of cold fish skin." Xie Wan was recommended by her family leader, knowing that this street serves the best wonton noodles.
The girl's eyebrows showed a bit of natural tenderness, and she felt relieved to see people in the scorching summer morning.Look at this appearance and temperament, how can she be a lady of the official family.The stall owner sighed.
The stall owner had a good first impression of this customer. He just opened the shop, and he was happy to have a chat with her: "Girl, do you want to add green onion?"
Xie Wan nodded lightly: "Let it go."
The stall owner then told her that the water had just boiled and it might take some time, so please wait a moment.Xie Wan didn't mind, and just chatted with the stall owner casually.
After a while, the fresh aroma of wontons wafted out along with the rising white air in the pot, and there were other customers in the small stall one after another.The aroma of the food aroused Xie Wan's appetite, and listening to the local dialect spoken at the tables beside him reminded Xie Wan of that pretty girl Song Tian'er.
A figure stood beside Xie Wan.
"Thank you girl?"
Xie Wan turned her head when she heard the voice, and saw that it was twenty-five.
Seeing Ye Gucheng in Nanwang Mansion yesterday, it is not surprising that his bodyguard twenty-five appeared here.However, there is no such aloof and arrogant Baiyun City Lord around Nianwu.
Xie Wan was surprised for a while, and asked: "Twenty-five, are you... come to have breakfast? I am also alone, if you don't mind, you can sit at the same table with me."
Nianwulian said he didn't mind, and sat opposite Xie Wan, and it happened that at this time Xie Wan's order of wonton noodles and cool fish skin also came over.Twenty-five just walked into a stall at random, and didn't have any specific plans to eat at first, but when he saw the wonton noodles on the table exuding the aroma of food, he immediately whetted his appetite, so he followed Xie Wan's example and asked for a bowl of wonton noodles. Swallow the noodles and add two buns.
Counting the previous time in Yanbei, this is the second time that Nianwu met Xie Wan by chance, and he thought it was a coincidence, so he told Xie Wan the same.Xie Wan smiled and nodded, "I didn't think of that either."
"However, why are you the only one on Twenty-five, where is City Lord Ye?"
Twenty-five scratched his head: "The city lord and I went to Yangcheng yesterday, but I'm going back to Baiyun city now."
Xie Wan raised her eyebrows: "Isn't City Lord Ye here alone?"
"The city lord told me to go back." Nianwu mentioned this matter, his handsome brows were slightly frowned, but he could not go against the city lord's wishes.Even now, he still doesn't understand why their city lord suddenly accepted an elder son as an apprentice. He was a guest at Nanwang Mansion yesterday and asked him to go back to Baiyun City this morning.
Xie Wan thought about it for a while, and knew that Ye Gucheng was preparing for the rebellion in the near future, and it was also the reason for letting the twenty-five return to Baiyun City.
Xie Wan suddenly felt that a person like Ye Gucheng who is serious about following his original destiny like Ye Gucheng is really rare.Alas, if only her mission hadn't changed, and the mission object would still be the original City Lord Ye.
