[Comprehensive martial arts] Gentle sword

Chapter 9 Grace

Lin Shiyin's eyes fell on Li Xunhuan for only a second or two, and then moved away, as if they were just acquaintances with nods, and it was completely impossible to see that they had such an intimate relationship.

Li Xun Huan held his breath, feeling that the gaze stayed on him for such a short time that it made him panic, but also delusional that the time it stayed on him was actually too long to scare him.

When Lin Shiyin appeared, his heart was already in chaos.

The normally clumsy man didn't know what to say for a long time.

Even when he saw Lin Shiyin and Xie Wan appearing together, he still felt a little embarrassed.

In order to make Shiyin give up on him, he chose his brother-in-law Long Xiaoyun instead. Emotionally, he acted on every occasion, but when his beloved and the two people who were said to love him met together, even for a free-spirited person like Li Xunhuan It will also have the same reaction as all normal men.

It is probably the so-called feeling of blacking out before dying and wishing to live again.

Perhaps because of the rare chance encounter today, Lin Shiyin's attitude towards her cousin was not as cold as before, so cold that she refused thousands of miles away.He even opened his mouth before Li Xun Huan, and took the initiative to call the other party "cousin".

Li Xun Huan responded blankly.

Xie Wan saw clearly the expression on Li Xun Huan's stunned face, and smiled inwardly, but it didn't show on his face.

"Mr. Li, Tie Butou, please first, I will send Miss Lin out."

Hearing Xie Wan's words, the two big men stepped aside to open the door, and Xie Wan and Lin Shiyin stepped out of the restaurant's threshold side by side.Seeing that the two women had gone a few steps away, Li Xunhuan was about to catch up to see Lin Shiyin off when he saw his adopted brother Long Xiaoyun had already arrived.

Then, Xie Wan said a few more words to Lin Shiyin, and Lin Shiyin got into the carriage.

Xie Wan came back and saw Li Xun Huan still standing at the door.

Seeing Xie Wan approaching, Li Xun Huan opened his mouth.His eyes were full of gloom, without any brilliance. Finally, some spiritual people looked miserable and distressed. This depression has nothing to do with appearance. When you look into his eyes, you know that it has been engraved on these three souls and seven souls.

"Miss Xie, my cousin Shiyin...why did she come to you?"

Xie Wan thought for a while and then said: "Miss Lin knows that you have been worrying about her safety these days, so I came here specially to find you today, but you happened to be away, so I decided to ask Miss Lin to come down and talk, and wait for you to come back."

Li Xun Huan closed his eyes in pain: "You shouldn't have done this." He shouldn't have left a poem.

When they meet again, the two of them can only look at each other in silence.The deep affection was smoothed by his own hands little by little in the blunt knife of the years.

Although he had difficulties, he did not dare to use them as excuses.

Now that he has hurt Shiyin, the only thing he can do is to continue to push her as far away as possible, instead of giving her hope and letting her swing around.

At dusk, Miss Xie's face froze, and the gentle smile that was always on the corner of her mouth faded a little.After a while, she lowered her eyes.

"I made my own claim."

Li Xun Huan froze for a moment, felt that he was too ugly now, and started to embarrass a person who treats him well.He wanted to pat Miss Xie on the shoulder, but in the end he still felt that this gesture was a bit intimate, so he withdrew his hand halfway out.

He had already broken one heart, and he shouldn't have broken another.

For the person who loves you, if you don't love her, you shouldn't give her any care and consideration that may create illusions.

That's what's good for her.

"Sorry, I was impatient. I don't intend to blame you. Don't take what I just said to heart, okay?"

At this time Miss Xie's expression was normal, after listening to Li Xun Huan's words, she smiled and replied softly: "I know, I didn't take it to heart."

The true love is about to marry someone else's wife, and she gave it to her by herself, it hurts internally, Xie Wan expressed her understanding.

"One more drink tonight? I'll call the iron catcher."

"it is good."

That night, the three fell in love with the moon in Xie Wan's small courtyard.If it weren't for one of the people who was full of depression and drinking away his sorrows, perhaps the scene would have been much more poetic.

Xie Wan was generous enough to take out her own inventory, knowing that for a person who is good at wine, it is tantamount to cutting flesh.Among the other two, Li Xun Huan is a person of this way, the wine can be known as good wine just by smelling it.Although Tie Shou is not so addicted to alcohol, he can still tell the difference between good and bad wine after drinking it in his mouth.

Maybe Tie Shou also sensed Li Xun Huan's depression tonight, but the other party didn't take the initiative to speak up, and he was considerate and did not ask, and only accompanied Li Xun Huan to vent silently by drinking.But Tie Butou was going back to Beijing tomorrow, so he went back to his room after drinking half of it.Only Xie Wan and Li Xunhuan, two drinking friends who had known each other very well, were left.

The iron hand left, and the atmosphere became a little more silent.The two drank one cup after another until Li Xun Huan's eyes flickered, Xie Wan hurriedly called the system.

[Xie Wan: Hurry up! !Tong'er, wake me up! 】

The real guarantee of not getting drunk for a thousand cups took effect immediately, and Xie Wan felt that her head, which was a little drunk, sobered up instantly.

"When I came back this time, I heard that Miss Lin was going to marry your brother-in-law."

Li Xun Huan blinked: "That's right...Actually, if it wasn't for me, they should have gotten married long ago. It's my fault."

Before, they met under the same roof almost every day, except for the time when they were interrupted at the beginning of the meeting, Xie Wan never asked this question again.But Li Xunhuan knew that she would definitely ask herself.Now that she asked, Li Xun Huan felt that the dust had settled.

Miss Xie heard this, but she frowned for some reason.She looked at Tan Hualang who was already a little drunk, this time she didn't stop the topic as considerately as before.

"But it's because you have a marriage contract."

Alcohol can make people lose their guard, these things have been held in Li Xun Huan's heart for too long, seeing Xie Wan's frowning face slightly, Li Xun Huan slowly started to talk.

"But I've already quit... I'm the one who wants to fulfill them."

Li Xunhuan drank a glass of wine and told Miss Xie about the beginning, from Long Xiaoyun saving him, to when he invited Long Xiaoyun home as a guest, and Long Xiaoyun fell ill because of his cousin's poetry.

Yue Ye and a gentle woman are listening to you quietly, this feeling undoubtedly made Li Xun Huan relax a lot.But at the same time, he couldn't help despising himself in his heart. He didn't want Miss Xie to waste her heart on him again, but he was greedy for how well the other party treated him.

What is the difference between saying one thing and doing another, and those who are unlucky.

Li Xun Huan closed his eyes, picked up the wine jar, raised his head and drank the little wine left in it.

"You also think I did something wrong."

After a long time, he heard Miss Xie sigh softly: "No, I did something wrong."

Li Xun Huan looked at her, but saw Xie Wan looking sideways at her, his eyes vainly falling on the wine glass on the edge of the table, the glint in his eyes drifted up and down, and he didn't know what he was thinking.She didn't even frown, looking extremely guilty.

Why is she feeling guilty?

Before Li Xun Huan could think it through, he heard the other party ask him: "Are you going to help them, or just want to help Long Xiaoyun."

There were no harsh words, but Li Xunhuan felt a little embarrassed.Xie Wan is really gentle when she is gentle, but it does not mean that she has no sharp edge.

"Have you ever thought that Miss Lin will marry Long Daxia because she likes you, knowing that you actually want her to live well. But this is not what she wants."

"You seem to let her choose by quitting, but how much she understands you, she has no choice. The so-called words and deeds, irrelevant people will only be annoyed or bored, and those who love you will feel sad."

"If Miss Lin marries your brother-in-law, in the future he will know that you are still the one in Miss Lin's heart, how will you let Hero Long deal with himself?"

Li Xunhuan was questioned.He couldn't answer any of these questions.

Maybe he knew it in his heart, but he decided to make it, and he was not allowed to think about it.

After finishing speaking, Xie Wan stood up: "The wine is left for you, I will go back first."

This was the first time, Xie Wan said to leave before the two of them finished drinking.Otherwise, in the past, she would either watch him leave, or prepare a warm bed for him.

Li Xun Huan stopped Xie Wan, and asked the question again.

"You also think I did something wrong?"

The man's expression was unbearable, Xie Wan turned her head, and after a while, the corners of her mouth curled up, looking a little helpless.

"No, I just hope you can think more about yourself and live a happier life."

After Xie Wan finished speaking, she really left.

She gave Li Xun Huan a head-to-head drink today, I'm afraid he won't be able to drink the wine anymore.But the medicine is not afraid to be applied too hard, Xie Wan just wants to remove the gauze covering the wound bloody, so that Li Xun Huan can react.

Li, Lin, and Long will be in the current situation, and of course it's not entirely Li Xunhuan's fault.Xie Wan understood this point clearly, and even Lin Shiyin, the other party involved, knew it too.

Today, Lin Shiyin only sent his servants to the gate of Zhenhai Tower, and then came in alone.Her arrival was far beyond Xie Wan's expectations, but she couldn't help but wonder what Lin Shiyin was planning to do.

She first asked, "Is my cousin Li Xunhuan here?"

After Xie Wan told her that Li Xunhuan had gone out, Lin Shiyin didn't have any look of disappointment on her face, as if she didn't intend to come to find Li Xunhuan.

Xie Wan thought for a while, and invited Lin Shiyin to the back yard: "Since Miss Lin is here, why not sit down for a while. The two of us can still talk."

Lin Shiyin couldn't help but glanced at Xie Wan, and said hello.

Xie Wan asked the two little girls to make a pot of Junshan Yinzhen, and she and Lin Shiyin sat in the room.

Lin Shiyin took a sip of tea, and the indifference between her brows melted like spring snow.

"It smells good."

Lin Shiyin is a very talented woman, so she naturally knows how to taste tea.

Back when Xie Wan was in that world, Li Xunhuan resigned from office and returned to his hometown, Xie Wan also came to Yanbei and stayed for several years.On the way, she met Lin Shiyin several times.

Every year before New Year's Eve, Li Tanhua would order a few jars of the best and most fragrant wine at Zhenhai Tower.When Xie Wan delivered it to Li Yuan in person, the whole group of Lin Shiyin in the plain cloak, with a hint of joy in the eyes of the New Year, waited under the eaves for the cousin who had just taken the wine from Xie Wan to go back.

As the years passed, the beautiful woman became more and more deserted and independent.

The two of them drank tea for an afternoon and chatted about topics in twos and threes. The atmosphere was calm but not silent.Lin Shiyin's attitude was calm, and the coldness became her usual posture, which made her beautiful.Xie Wan has seen so many beauties, Lin Shiyin may not be the one with the most beautiful appearance, but the one with the most memorable temperament.

To be honest, Xie Wan admired Lin Shiyin quite a bit. Apart from jealousy, people appreciate and envy the beauty that they don't have.

When Li Xunhuan was mentioned, Lin Shiyin lowered her eyes lightly, and did not say a word for a long time.

I don't want to talk about his appearance.

But Xie Wan thought, Lin Shiyin and Li Xunhuan were born as a gifted couple, and Lin Shiyin must know her cousin Li Xunhuan very well, and she even knew Li Xunhuan's intentions.

But knowing is knowing, knowing is knowing.

I understand, I understand, I know it clearly, but I miss it in vain.

How can I understand it? I don’t understand it.

This night, Xie Wan didn't know if Li Xun Huan had a night of drinking at the end.

The next day when Xie Wan packed up and came out, Uncle Zhong said that Tie Shou had checked out of the house and left Yanbei early in the morning.

The system felt a little regretful that it failed to seize the opportunity to stab Tie Shou back when he left Beijing alone, Xie Wan knew it was eager to complete the task, so comforted him.

【Xie Wan: Don't worry, now is not the best time to stab the iron hand.Let's take our time one by one and deal with Li Xunhuan first.Boiling frogs in warm water should be almost done. 】

What Xie Wan said had some reaction in Li Xun Huan's heart. Li Xun Huan shaved off the green beard stubble after being bored in the room for two days, changed his clothes and went straight to Li Yuan.

When Long Xiaoyun saw Li Xunhuan, he also felt a little uncomfortable, after all, just two days ago Lin Shiyin went out to Zhenhai Tower where Li Xunhuan was staying.

"Xun Huan, now that the matter has been resolved, I want to make up for the delayed marriage as soon as possible. After a long time, it will damage Shiyin's reputation. I picked a few days here, why don't you take a look?"

Long Xiaoyun said this as soon as he came up, which stunned Li Xunhuan for a moment, and he forgot what he wanted to say.

He also sat down, looked at the circled dates on the list that Long Xiaoyun handed over, and tried hard to hide the sadness in his heart.

"It's been a pretty good day."

"Brother also thinks the same way. Since the left and right are similar, I plan to choose the earliest date."

Li Xunhuan took a look, it was the third day of next month, half a month away from now.

"okay."

He pursed his lips and replied.

Li Xunhuan originally planned to go west to Yangguan and never return, but he didn't expect that such an accident would make him come back from outside the pass.Maybe if he came back ten or twenty years later, everything would be settled, even if he felt uncomfortable, he wouldn't be like now, and he still hoped for something in his heart.

In the final analysis, it is difficult to understand.

People's hearts are repeated, and human feelings can't stand the test. Even now, Li Xunhuan even feels a little strange and speechless when he looks at his righteous brother Long Xiaoyun.

But at the time when the other party saved his life, Li Xun Huan was sincerely grateful for his great kindness, and dared not forget it.

In order to treat his wound during the rush, Long Xiaoyun even tore off his own clothes to bandage him.Li Xunhuan still keeps the handkerchief that bandaged his wound at that time. Because it was stained with blood, he couldn't wash it off later. Li Xunhuan was embarrassed to return it to Long Xiaoyun, so he kept it as a testimony of the deep friendship between the two. In the cabinet of Lengxiang Xiaozhu.

Li Xun Huan still remembered that there was a delicate floating cloud pattern on it, which matched Long Xiaoyun's cloud character, and there was a faint scent of deserted and concentrated incense left on it.

Incense...incense!

Li Xun Huan stood up suddenly, and the stool was knocked to the ground by him.

A few days ago, he clearly smelled similar incense from the little girl A Tang, but at that time his thoughts were not here, and he didn't think of it at all!

Long Xiaoyun was startled by Li Xunhuan's actions, and quickly asked: "Xunhuan, what's wrong?"

Li Xun Huan was startled by his gaffe, looked at his brother-in-law, and raised the corner of his mouth unnaturally.

"...I just remembered something urgent, I'm afraid I have to go first."

"Urgent matter? Need help for brother?"

Li Xunhuan shook his head and was about to go out when he asked again: "Shiyin, is she still staying in the house alone?"

Long Xiaoyun paused for a moment, then said with a smile: "Xun Huan, you are so happy that you have forgotten your days. Today is the Flower Festival, and Shiyin was invited to go out for a walk and enjoy the flowers."

Li Xun Huan nodded hastily and bid farewell to Long Xiaoyun, but did not see Long Xiaoyun's eyes gradually darken when he turned his back and flew away.

Li Xunhuan ran back to Zhenhai Tower, only to find that Xie Wan was not even with her two maids.He was eager to know the answer, so he quickly grabbed Uncle Zhong and asked, "Uncle Zhong, Miss Xie and her two maids are not here? Where did they go?"

Uncle Zhong replied: "Miss took Atang and Xiaotao out for an outing to enjoy the flowers. She said she would put off the magic lantern at night, so she didn't come back so early."

"By the way, Miss, she even invited Miss Lin together."
