Suo Qingjun Chapter 21

“Heartbeat”

The evening breeze was cooler, and the lantern on the porch was rolled up and swayed, making the shadows of the two people grow longer and shorter.

Qing Fengan looked at the undisguised madness in Jin Xianling’s eyes, and the exhaustion in her heart actually overcame the chill.He slowly loosened his clenched fist, the paleness of his knuckles slowly faded away, and there was a hint of hoarseness in his voice that he had not even noticed: “Bury with me? Jin Xianling, do you love me, or do you love your own obsession?”

These words were like a sharp knife, piercing into Jin Xianling’s heart unexpectedly.The smile on his face froze, and the paranoia in his eyes flickered, revealing a hint of panic.He subconsciously reached out to grab Qing Feng’an’s wrist, but his fingertips stopped just before they touched the material of Qing Feng’an’s clothes, with a rare hesitation in his movements.

“Obsession?” He repeated these two words in a low voice, with a hint of confusion in his voice, “I just…just want to be with you. Master, I just don’t want to lose you again.”

lost.

These two words were like a thin needle, gently pricking Qing Feng’an.He thought of Jin Xianling’s appearance in the past few days. During the day, she was dressed in women’s clothes, standing on the porch waiting for him with lotus seed soup, her eyebrows and eyes were as gentle as a different person; at night, she took off her disguise, and even though she could forcefully approach him, she just lay beside her, breathing very lightly, for fear of disturbing him.

He thought of the blood stains on Jin Xianling’s sleeves just now, of the troubles he had quietly dealt with, and of his words, “As long as Master keeps to himself, we will always be fine.”

Crazy, paranoid, and unscrupulous.

But unfortunately, the end of this madness is careful ingratiation.

Qing Feng’an opened her eyes and looked at the dark night in the distance.The mountain shadows of Xuanqing Sect were undulating, like a thick barrier, trapping him and Jin Xianling in this square inch of heaven and earth.He suddenly felt a little ridiculous. He had kept the rules and precepts all his life and claimed to be chivalrous. In the end, he was trapped by a madman and couldn’t move.

“Su Wan Ning…” He paused and his voice became softer, “Let her go.”

Jin Xianling raised her head suddenly, and the panic in her eyes faded away, replaced by a trace of vigilance: “Let her go? Does master want her to come back and expose our affair? Does he want everyone in the world to know that the head of Xuanqing Sect married a man, his own disciple?”

His voice suddenly rose, with a hint of offended anger, but there was an imperceptible pleading in his eyes as he looked at Qing Feng’an.

He is afraid.

Afraid that Qing Feng’an really wanted to push him away, afraid that this marriage that was obtained through calculation would end up in vain.

Qing Feng’an looked at his appearance, and the tight string in her heart relaxed inexplicably.He sighed, with a hint of helplessness in his voice: “I don’t want her to come back, and I don’t want to expose anything. It’s just that she is innocent and there is no need to involve us.”

Jin Xianling was stunned.

He thought Qing Feng’an would reprimand him and angrily scold him for his unscrupulous tactics, but he didn’t expect that he would intercede for Su Wanning.

The night wind carried the fragrance of flowers, and it was the fragrance of the late-blooming osmanthus plant in the corner of the courtyard.Qing Fengan looked at the astonishment in Jin Xianling’s eyes and suddenly felt that this crazy apprentice was actually not that scary.His paranoia is like a hard shell, and wrapped in the shell is a heart that is afraid of being abandoned.

“Stop the Xuanyin Pill,” Qing Feng’an said again, “Send someone to give her some silver and let her find a place to live in peace.”

Jin Xianling didn’t speak, just looked at him steadily.After a long time, he nodded slowly, his voice as low as a whisper: “Okay, I will listen to Master.”

This was the first time Qing Feng’an heard such a submissive response from him, with no strings attached and no hidden calculations.

The lantern in the corridor swayed again, and the light and shadow fell on Jin Xianling’s face, softening the sinister look between his eyebrows.He looked at Qing Feng’an, and the madness in his eyes gradually faded away, leaving only an indescribable attachment.

“Master,” he said softly, “do you… hate me less?”

Qing Feng’an’s heart jumped suddenly.

Hate it?

He had hated his calculations, hated his paranoia, and hated him for trapping himself in this cage called “marriage”.But just now, when he saw the panic in Jin Xianling’s eyes, the hatred actually faded.

He didn’t answer, just turned around and walked towards the new house.

Jin Xianling looked at his back, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.He followed quickly, his footsteps very light, for fear of disturbing the rare peace in front of him.

Qing Feng’an opened the door, and the light of the red candle hit her face, making her nose feel so warm.He walked to the bed and sat down. Looking at the wedding dress embroidered with phoenixes on the bed, he felt a strange emotion in his heart.

Jin Xianling stood at the door and did not come in. She just looked at his back, the light in her eyes was astonishingly bright.

After a long time, Qing Feng’an spoke, with a hint of compromise in his voice that he had not even noticed: “It’s late at night, come in and sleep.”

Jin Xianling’s breath suddenly stopped.

He almost couldn’t believe his ears. After being stunned for a long time, he carefully raised his feet, walked into the room, and walked to the bed.He didn’t dare to get too close, he just sat down on the edge of the bed, the corner of his clothes barely touching the hem of Qing Fengan’s clothes.

The red candle burned brighter, filling the room with red light.

Qing Feng’an closed her eyes and could feel the rapid breathing of the person beside her, with a hint of nervousness.He thought of what Jin Xianling said, and the paranoia and nostalgia in his eyes, and the coldness in his heart was replaced by warmth little by little.

Perhaps, this absurd marriage may not be all abyss.

Perhaps, this crazy apprentice may not be all obsessed.

The night is getting darker, and the waning moon outside the window quietly peeks out of the clouds, casting a clear glow.

Beside the bed, Jin Xianling looked at Qing Fengan’s side face. The madness in his eyes completely faded away, leaving only cautious tenderness.He stretched out his hand and lightly touched Qing Feng’an’s hair with his fingertips, as if he was afraid of breaking a dream.

Qing Feng’an, however, did not avoid it.

He just closed his eyes and let the cool fingertips fall on his hair.

Somewhere deep in my heart, something is quietly changing.

It’s the ice melting and snow disappearing, it’s the spring breeze blowing, it’s a ripple called “heartbeat”, slowly spreading under the reflection of the room full of red candles.

In the forbidden area in the distance, the black shadow appeared again, and Xuan Qingling’s light was brighter than last night.Only this time, the black shadow’s movements seemed slower, as if waiting for something.

A new storm is still brewing.

And in this small new house, two entangled hearts are slowly approaching in a direction that no one knows.
