Although Su Mu's heart was not particularly calm, Liu Xiaoran's expression was too serious, making him feel that it would be sinful and unworthy of him to doubt the credibility of this sentence or the authenticity of the person in front of him.behavior, so he nodded kindly.

"Don't worry, I will."

After he finished his promise, he quickly added another sentence: "But I still think, what doubts can I have about Liu Shaoqing?"

Liu Xiaoran raised her eyes and looked at him with a more complicated expression: "I never thought that a person like Li He would end up like this."

Su Mu was taken aback when he heard the words, he never expected that Liu Xiaoran would use Li He to refute him, but right now he couldn't connect the two people at all, so he almost blurted out: "Liu Shaoqing definitely won't do that."

"Why? Because I... have a prominent family background? Won't it fall to the point where no one cares about me?"

If it were another person, Su Mu would almost feel that the other person was trying to quarrel with him on purpose, but he could see from Liu Xiaoran's eyes that the other person seemed to be really worried about this issue, and it was also related to the air pressure around Liu Xiaoran a few hours ago.Judging from the lower situation than before, this person may have struggled with this issue for a long time.

Although he couldn't figure out how a boy who was obviously a good boy could start worrying about becoming the bottom of his grade all of a sudden, he still racked his brains and began to reason with others, trying to convince Liu Xiaoran that the possibility of becoming bad alone is not only related to the external environment.There is a relationship, and it has a lot to do with a person's heart.

"The lotus flower is still unstained. There are always people who can stick to their original aspirations in all kinds of difficulties and adversities." Su Mu said with a deep heart, and even felt like a junior high school teacher caring for the best grader in his class.Du Miaomiao, "Liu Shaoqing, you will never let you down if you stick to the truth."

Seeing that Liu Xiaoran was about to refute herself again, Su Mu found new words to stop her: "Okay, take a step back and say, if there is such a day, wouldn't there be Chen Chu, Mrs. Bai, and so many people by your side?"Relatives and friends, they will definitely not allow you to sink, then Li He fell to this point because there is no one close to him in the world, Liu Shaoqing, you are different."

Liu Xiaoran didn't speak again this time, just when Su Mu breathed a sigh of relief and felt a sense of accomplishment, the other party suddenly asked, "What about you?"

Su Mu was almost choked by his unswallowed breath, and after a while he asked in a daze, "What?"

Liu Xiaoran's skin looked fair and smooth under the moonlight. At this moment, he lowered his eyes, his beautiful eyebrows were slightly covered by the hair on both sides, and his brows were slightly frowned. After a moment of silence, he continued to ask: "If one day I really sink into the mud like Li He, you..."

Su Mu took a deep breath, it seems that he really didn't hear it just now, Liu Xiaoran actually meant that, no, what exactly does it mean, let alone the premise, it is really difficult to establish, this sentence——He felt that he seemed to understand the reason Liu Xiaoran just came to explain to himself.

As if after the ice and snow melted, everything burst out of the ground with vigor, and the sense of joy that was about to emerge made Su Mu's tone brighter: "Of course I won't just sit idly by."

After hearing the answer, Liu Xiaoran suddenly raised her head, and bumped into the eyes of the other party. Su Mu's eyes were as clean and clear as usual, and now they even reflected a little bit of starlight, which made people reluctant to look away.

"Liu Shaoqing, are we now friends—no, friends?" Su Mu leaned over his head and asked cautiously while striking the iron.Is it a friend, but now he suddenly understands that the answer to this sentence is like a promise, like the hook that he hanged himself when he was a child and cannot be changed for a hundred years. Although it is childish, it can make people feel extremely at ease.

After waiting for the expected "hmm", he suddenly felt excited. He looked a little unpromising, but this was indeed the first time since he came here, not because of his identity, let alone because he wasThe friend Su Mu made, besides, this is Liu Xiaoran.

At least getting Lu Lingjue to admit that he is a friend is definitely much more difficult than getting Liu Xiaoran to admit it.

It seems that Su Mu was infected by the joy that suddenly jumped on the brows of Su Mu, and the awkwardness when he said that sentence just now was blown away by the joy that came from the bottom of his heart. Liu Xiaoran did not even realize that heHer brows were no longer as tightly locked as before, and were even unfurled in an extremely rare way, and even the corners of her lips curled into an imperceptible arc.

At the same time, he thought of a question that had been repeated countless times in his heart but was difficult to ask.

"Yu Zhi." Liu Xiaoran looked at him and asked, "Can I call you that?"

"Of course." Su Mu blinked, and his thoughts were brought back to a long time ago. He smiled and shook his head, "Liu Shaoqing, I said a long time ago that you can call me that."

"Yan Xuan." Liu Xiaoran frowned slightly, and corrected her, "Reciprocity is a courtesy."

Su Mu obviously didn't expect that Liu Xiaoran, who was like an exiled fairy, could still be so childish, so he couldn't help smiling, nodded and said, "Okay, Yan Xuan."

"Cough, it's getting late." He stood up, "Go back and rest."

Su Mu just nodded, and when he was about to say goodbye, Liu Xiaoran stopped him again. As soon as he turned around, he saw Liu Xiaoran bathed in the moonlight, and the bright moonlight flowed on her white clothes.

"Ok?"

"I didn't question you that day because you are greedy for life and afraid of death, it's just...these things are all my responsibility, you are just implicated innocently, I don't want you to get hurt or—"

Su Mu had almost forgotten about this matter at first, although it was the first time that he and Liu Xiaoran had flirted with each other because of this matter, but now that Liu Xiaoran mentioned it, he almost wanted to find a crack in the ground and sneak in immediately.

He figured it out after one night, Liu Xiaoran must have said this out of good intentions, but he just felt awkward with his attitude towards people just the day before, and he didn't dare to look at Liu Xiaoran at all, nor did heKnowing how to answer the words, he behaved even weirder.

He suddenly got a little tongue-tied, and after a long time he stammered and replied: "No, no, no, that's my problem, what I should know is that at that time..."

Liu Xiaoran saw that he seemed to want to explain, but he didn't say a complete sentence for a long time, so she kindly helped him out: "Anyway, it's my ambiguity, since you don't care, then it's bestgone."

Su Mu hurriedly went down the steps smoothly, shook his head and said, "So let's all go and rest, it's already so late, if you don't have a good rest, you won't have much energy on the second day, so I'll go in first!"

"See you tomorrow, Liu—Yan Xuan." Su Mu walked into the door, grabbed the door frame and turned his head, "Don't think about those things anymore, you are different from others."

Seeing that the door was closed tightly, Liu Xiaoran started to walk into the house.

After hearing a slight knock of the door, Su Mu took off his clothes and lay down on the bed in peace. Perhaps, as the book said, every night, people's thoughts seem to be particularly easy to deviate from the original track, and he can almost imagine the first time.On the second day, when I thought about what I said tonight, I must feel very strange.

But he has no regrets.

Some words still need to be spoken in order to get rid of the layer of tulle that separates people.

Sure enough, as soon as Su Mu opened his eyes the next day, he automatically recalled the words of last night in his mind. First, he conducted a reasonable discussion on whether this was a dream, and then after confirming that this was indeed what happened, heI started to feel my face getting hot again.

It's weird, it's not a big deal, isn't it just making a friend, as for?

He kneaded his face numbly, trying to use the cold temperature of his hands to restore his face to its original shape, and finally felt that he could go out, but he bumped into Liu Xiaoran as soon as he went out.

The good news is that there is Lu Lingjue beside him.

The bad news is also that there is Lu Lingjue beside her.

Lu Lingjue had already recovered alive and kicked. She poked her head out and greeted Su Mu.

"Yu Zhiyuzhi! We are coming to find you!" He said with a smile, "Aren't you going to visit those rescued girls today? We will go with you. The adults said that they also want to ask some questions., and for the sake of surviving my catastrophe, you want to invite me to dinner!"

Su Mu also smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's go together. Hey Chenchu, where is the master who was rescued with you, Little Stone? How is he doing?"

Lu Lingjue tilted his head and thought for a while, then slipped out from Liu Xiaoran's right hand, hooked Su Mu's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "He did wake up, but apart from comforting Xiao Shitou, he still treats everyone else well."I don't care much, hey, do you think this person is... a bit bad here? I only know one person?"

Su Mu patted the hand that was hanging on his body, and said in a low voice, "Little Shitou said that my master is a hero, so it makes sense for him to have a weird temper."

"I am, I am his savior? If it weren't for me, he would have died a long time ago, and you didn't even know it. In the interrogation yesterday, both Li He and Yang Ping said that they saw the blood stains and thought they were dead, so they didn't continue to take care of them.By mistake, Li He thinks this person is dead, Yang Ping thinks that I am dead, hey hey, it turned out that neither of us died, oh, that face—"

Just as Lu Lingjue was talking vigorously, he felt a hand on his collar, and was lifted up immediately.

"My lord, why are you mentioning me again? What have I done?" Lu Lingjue was puzzled, and looked at Liu Xiaoran aggrieved.

The latter looked calm, and just said lightly: "When will I finish my work, and when will I have dinner."

Lu Lingjue shut his mouth obediently, and his expression became serious. If the desire for food in his expression was ignored, it would look like that.

Su Mu was so amused by his appearance that he wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare to laugh too loudly, for fear of hurting others' self-esteem, so he turned his head and said, "Liu Shaoqing, let's go then."

After the words came out, Su Mu didn't feel anything, he just yelled too smoothly, but according to Lu Lingjue's experience in dealing with Liu Xiaoran for many years, he saw with his own eyes that his lord suddenly showed a somewhat disappointed expression, and then he saidI felt a chilly look.

"Lu Chenchu, you stay in the government office."

The author has something to say:

Lu Lingjue: I didn't mess with any of you!
