Chapter 72: Falling Horse (Part 3)
Xu Shanshan fended him off, put on a mask and said: "It's all old habits, it doesn't matter anymore."
Gu Yuejiarong saw that her expression was as usual , with long eyebrows like crescent moons, and dark eyes, clear and calm, as if he had made a fuss over his worries just now.
Letting go of his hand, he covered his hands with his sleeves and rubbed them gently with his fingertips, as if the warmth from her body that penetrated from her skin to her bones was slowly melting away.
She is warm, she is "Xu Chu", not that Ying Mei.
"The rules that Xu Chu said just now..."
Xu Shanshan immediately changed his tone and said with deep affection: "Yes, we should be paid according to the rules for eliminating evil spirits and disasters, but the students are willing to Make this an exception for me, sir."
Gu Yuejiarong was stunned: "Since it is a rule, how can it be easily broken, sir..."
"No need," Xu Shanshan said righteously. When she refused, she smiled and sighed softly: "As a student, you should do something for your husband. How can I take away something valuable from your husband as a reward?"
When Gu Yuejiarong heard what she said, she felt even more sorry. As she said, although they were teachers and students, they should not morally kidnap her livelihood and serve themselves for free, breaking the rules.
Although... he wasn't sure what kind of business she was doing outside while studying in the academy.
But he has also seen many students from poor families who study hard and work hard to save money in order to enter the academy.
He thought that even if she didn't accept it, he should make up for her "rules" afterwards.
Xu Shanshan stood up, cleared away the leftover dishes on the table, and said goodbye: "Sir, the shadow demon will only appear at night. The student will go down to prepare first, and will wait with the husband later in the evening. "
"Xu Chu, if this move is dangerous for you, I hope you can tell the truth." He looked at her sincerely, his eyes were clear and clear: "We will solve it. There are many ways to do things, including self-improvement, foreign aid, and detours, but taking risks is the most undesirable.”
"Sir, the matter is urgent. If we seek external help... I'm afraid it might be too late. Even so, don't you want students to take the risk?" She asked with a smile.
Xu Shanshan, who wore male makeup, hardened the soft outline of the woman, but when she tilted her head and smiled teasingly, it was like the late autumn wind, gently blowing through the heart and taking away all the messy things. Emotions, even time slowed down.
Gu Yuejiarong was also infected by her and smiled relaxedly, but his tone was serious and solemn.
"Yes, I don't want you to take risks as a teacher, even for me."
This is the person who is a teacher. They will always treat their students like children and think that They need to be cared for without having to bear the burdens and risks of adults.
But as teachers, Xu Shanshan's educational philosophy is different from his.
Although she was taught this way, she would never be all-inclusive to those red-clothed gods or even the people closest to her. She was gentle, limited, cold-hearted, and thought Everyone performing their duties is the ultimate goal of her teachings.
It doesn’t matter that she is disobedient or has other agendas. Being eternally loyal is the greatest betrayal of human nature.
So she never exchanges her feelings for anything. People's hearts are fickle. She can only watch the changes in the world and control all changes in her own hands. As long as she is strong enough, the world will calm down and listen to you. sound.
“It’s quite reassuring to be Mr.’s student.”
Xu Shanshan said again: "But this is a trivial matter, it is not difficult for students to deal with it, sir, you don't need to think too much."
After she left, Gu Yuejiarong went to find Gong Anguo. Yesterday, he met Gong Anguo. Gong Anguo made an appointment to meet, but he never showed up. Based on his understanding of Gong Anguo, something was wrong with this matter. He went to the residence arranged for Gong Anguo by Yingtian Academy. When he passed a room, he inadvertently heard the clear ringing of a bell. He stopped and turned his head to listen carefully, but he couldn't hear it again.
I knocked on Gong Anguo's room, but no one answered the door for a long time. Someone next to me heard him and opened the door.
It was a gentleman from Yingtian Academy. He knew Gu Yue Jiarong. He immediately raised a smile and went up to say a few words. When he learned that Gu Yue Jiarong was here to see Gong Anguo, he thought for a moment. , said: "I remember that he went out around 1:00 yesterday... but I never heard the sound of him coming back."
After hearing this, Gu Yuejiarong looked solemn. After saying goodbye to the gentleman, he searched for Gong Anguo everywhere in Yingtian Academy, but after asking many people, they all claimed that they had not seen anyone today.
Gu Yuejiarong’s search led to him finding it. His uneasiness became more and more intense.
Is it related to Ying Mei?
Did she capture Gong Anguo?
But "Xu Chu" didn't say that Ying Mei is not murderous, but is influenced by the Peach Blossom Evil and will do some... things to him, and it is transformed by Yin Qi, and it will appear at sunrise. Scattered, the sun sets out, how can one hide away?
With nothing to do, he returned to "Lan Yue Xiaozhu". At this time, the dusk was closing, and "Xu Chu" was waiting there under the green bamboo forest.
The wild paths are all dark, she is leaning on a lotus lamp in her hand, the wind blows "his" green hair, like white clouds, and the clouds fall for no reason on her shoulders and arms, her faint smile feels like home. Looking forward to his arrival.
Gu Yuejiarong seemed to be disturbed by a sudden gust of wind, causing ripples to appear in the calm lake of his heart.
"How long have you been waiting? Sorry, I'm late."
He unconsciously quickened his pace and approached "Xu Chu". He saw that a piece and a half of her hair had fallen. The yellow bamboo leaves naturally reached out and picked them off for her.
"Sir..."
Gu Yuejiarong hesitated.
"Ying Mei is really... flattered by your warm welcome."
He stepped back, the warmth and apology on his face disappeared, and said coldly: "Why are you pretending to be Xu Chu?!"
Ying Mei waved her hand, and the surrounding scene suddenly changed. He looked around in surprise. The green of the forest was getting thicker, the sunset was bright and the dusk clouds were heavy. She beat him hard With a hard push, he missed a step and fell straight into the deep pool of clear water with a thud.
"Sir, you are confused. How can you ask Xu Chu to deal with me? Don't you know that Xu Chu and I are actually the same person?"
He was floating in the water, but he was able to turn Ying Mei's The sound was clearly audible.
“You don’t believe it?”
Seeing Gu Yue Jiarong’s eyes as cold as glass crystals in the water, she smiled, maliciously and jokingly: “There are more It’s unbelievable, do you want to hear it?”
“For example... the name Xu Chu is fake, in fact she——”
"What interesting secret are you talking about? Want me to listen to it too?"
A gentle voice that was neither soft nor serious perfectly covered Ying Mei's voice that was afraid of being messy. With one hand, He grasped Gu Yue Jiarong accurately, and he turned around in shock, with prejudice on his face.
Before, he always felt that Yingmei used her face. When she did not appear, Yingmei dressed up exactly like her, and he would still be confused, but when they actually appeared in the same scene, Only then did he realize that "Xu Chu"'s presence was absolute.
He was pulled out of the "water pool". When he came out of the water, he took a deep breath unconsciously, only to find that he had returned to the "Moonlight Building".
