The streets of Yelan Street were dimly lit, and the noise of hawking was endless.

Lin Qingbai's voice was not loud, as if it was covered by the surrounding noise.

The man in front didn't turn around as if he didn't hear his words, but the hand holding the candied haws suddenly stopped in place, and he didn't even pull out the candied haws from the straw pile.

Lin Qingbai called out again: "Master..."

This time the man in black turned around slowly.

He was tall, and Lin Qingbai had to raise his chin slightly to see his face clearly.

Looking at the appearance of only 18 years old, but with a handsome and cold appearance, like a sword drawn out of its sheath, it makes people fear for no reason. However, when he looked at Lin Qingbai, the lingering aura in his eyes was allNot anymore, but the deepness like the night reflecting the sky, almost engulfing Lin Qingbai's whole body in it.

Lin Qingbai spread out her slender fingers, handed the tassel of jade in front of the man, and said to him, "Your tassel of jade fell off."

The man didn't move, just looked at Lin Qingbai.

A gust of night wind blew by, slowly blowing up the blue hair around Lin Qingbai's ears, and falling in front of his face, Lin Qingbai looked back at the man through the flying hair in front of his eyes.

When he saw the man looking at him, his dark eyes gradually turned red.

Lin Qingbai felt so strange.

It was the first time he met this person.

He has never seen him, why is he looking at him so lost.

The night light shone into Lin Qingbai's eyes, illuminating Lin Qingbai's eyes like a soft moon.

He called the man twice, repeating the sentence: "My lord, your ear of jade has fallen."

The night wind was a bit cold tonight, Lin Qingbai's hands were blown in the night wind for a while, and then became cold and pale, his fingertips were like daffodils, trembling slightly in the wind.

The man didn't know what to do, and suddenly grabbed Lin Qingbai's fingertips.

In an instant, a scorching warmth spread from Lin Qingbai's fingertips to his whole body.

Lin Qingbai's heart tightened, and he hurriedly wanted to withdraw his hand, but the man's grip became tighter and tighter, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, wishing to crush Lin Qingbai's hands.

"Young master...Young master!"

Lin Qingbai called out loudly twice, and the tassel of jade in his palm also fell to the ground while struggling.

Only then did the man come back to his senses, his hand trembled twice, and he let go of the grip on Lin Qingbai's fingers.

Lin Qingbai took advantage of this moment and suddenly withdrew his hand back.

He frowned and looked at the man, wanting to reprimand such unreasonable behavior, but both of them were men, if they reprimanded others just because they shook hands, he felt that Lin Qingbai was making a fuss out of a molehill.

Lin Qingbai's mouth moved, looking at the man's trembling eyes, he still didn't say anything in the end.

He squatted down, his white clothes fell to the ground, picked up the ear of jade on the ground, handed it to the man again, and said in a cold voice: "Young master, your ear of jade has fallen, please put it away."

The man's eyes were half unwilling to move away from Lin Qingbai's face, and his hands still maintained the movement of pulling Lin Qingbai's hands just now.

Lin Qingbai was a little impatient, so he stuffed the jade ear directly into his hand, turned around and left.

But before he took two steps, the man chased after him with big strides, grabbed Lin Qingbai's wrist, and turned Lin Qingbai around.

Lin Qingbai frowned and looked at him.

The man's chest heaved violently, and his eyes were originally cold as swords, but when he looked at Lin Qingbai, his eyes were full of helplessness and excitement.

"You..." His voice was hoarse.

Lin Qingbai frowned, feeling that this person was so strange that he wanted to shake off his hand vigorously and get rid of him quickly.

The man looked into Lin Qingbai's indifferent eyes, perhaps because he realized that he had lost his composure, he slowly straightened up, but he didn't loosen his grip on Lin Qingbai's hands.

His voice was low, and he asked tremblingly: "Thank you, my lord......Dare you ask me your name?

?"

Lin Qingbai said lightly: "It's just a little effort, you don't have to worry about it, young master."

After speaking, Lin Qingbai secretly twisted the strength of his palm, trying to break free from the strength in the man's hand.

The man refused to let go, and tightened the strength in his hand, holding Lin Qingbai's wrist tightly.

"Please also tell me my name, son."

This man looks young, he should be a boy under twenty years old, but the strength in his hands is really not small, and his personality is also very stubborn.

Seeing people coming and going looking at the two of them, Lin Qingbai couldn't resist him, sighed, and could only say his own name: "I, Lin Qingbai."

The man held his hand trembling suddenly, his eyes tightened, and he looked at Lin Qingbai motionlessly.

After a while, his mouth was trembling, and he said half tentatively, "My name is Qin An."

Lin Qingbai hummed lightly.

The man's eyes had been closely watching Lin Qingbai's reaction, and he said tentatively, "You can call me...An'er."

Lin Qingbai frowned and remained silent.

How could a man let a stranger he met call him by his nickname.

Qin An's eyes carefully observed the expression on Lin Qingbai's face.

His eyes swept over every subtle expression on Lin Qingbai's face little by little. In those eyes that he was very familiar with, he was very sure that Lin Qingbai did not cause the slightest emotion because of the name An'er.fluctuation.

Due to affection, Lin Qingbai gave another grace with an indifferent expression as before.

Then Lin Qingbai saw that the expression on Qin An's face was very complicated, like regret, like stunned, and like some luck for the rest of his life.

Suddenly Qin An lowered his head and laughed softly.

His eyes turned red with a smile, and he said softly, "Okay...okay..."

Lin Qingbai just felt baffled, he didn't know what was good, and what was good about it.

He broke free from the man's wrist with one hand and said, "Young Master Qin, take your leave."

After speaking, Lin Qingbai turned around and walked forward without saying a word.

But who would have thought that Qin An followed Lin Qingbai from a distance, his eyes fixed on Lin Qingbai, as if he wanted to burn a hole in Lin Qingbai's back.

Lin Qingbai couldn't take it anymore, he turned around not far away, and looked at Qin An.

Qin An also stopped in his tracks, his dark and sharp eyes were not sharp when looking at Lin Qingbai.

There was a lot of voices on Yelan Street, and the two of them looked at each other ten steps away, neither far nor near.

But at this moment, pieces of light and shadow suddenly swept across Lin Qingbai's eyes, and he vaguely saw someone standing in front of him like this before.

On a snowy day, a young man in armor stood in the distance, looking at him from a distance through the snow that was falling down.

They are not far apart, but they can't get close to each other.

This picture is too blurry, and there are constant ghosts floating in it.

Lin Qingbai couldn't see clearly, but his heart was throbbing with pain, as if a knife was constantly cutting his chest.

The pain came suddenly, Lin Qingbai's body shook like a frail floating willow twice, and he raised his hand to tightly cover his chest.

Qin An's face froze, and his dark eyes suddenly panicked. He rushed over quickly through the crowd, and grabbed Lin Qingbai's arm.

"What's the matter... Where does it hurt? Where does it hurt?"

Qin An's voice was very loud, attracting people around to watch, but he didn't care about other things at all. He held Lin Qingbai's shoulder tightly in a panic, as if he was afraid that Lin Qingbai would become thin and fragile soon.The snowflakes have turned into general.

The image in Lin Qingbai's eyes was just a flash.

He closed his eyes to calm down, and when the pain in his heart gradually disappeared, he slowly straightened up from between Qin An's arms.

He is not used to being in contact with people, let alone strangers, even his parents, they only communicate with each other through words.

I saw Lin Qingbai took two steps forward, separated a certain distance from Qin An, and said to Qin An, "Thank you, Mr. Qin."

After Lin Qingbai finished speaking, he turned around to leave, but Qin An did not let go. He asked Lin Qingbai relentlessly: "What's wrong with you just now? What's wrong with you? Did you go to the hospital to see it?"Pass?"

Lin Qingbai said: "There is no general idea, Mr. Lao Qin is concerned."

Hearing Lin Qingbai's distant voice, Qin An's anxious eyes sank little by little, and he opened his mouth to ask again.

At this moment, Shao Yunfan's voice suddenly came from afar: "Master! Why are you here too?!"

Qin An and Lin Qingbai looked back and saw Shao Yunfan and a few students shopping together.

As soon as Shao Yunfan saw Lin Qingbai, he immediately ran forward and turned towards Lin Qingbai with a smiling face, but when he saw Qin An standing beside Lin Qingbai, he was taken aback and asked, "Master,Who is this......."

It's no wonder that Shao Yunfan was stunned, Lin Qingbai had always been indifferent, besides these little apprentices around him, even the other teachers in the school had no more than nodding acquaintances with Lin Qingbai.

Now Shao Yunfan suddenly saw his master and a strange man shopping in Yelan Street together, which made the surrounding students extremely astonished.

Lin Qingbai's face was indifferent, and he said to Shao Yunfan and the others: "This is Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin just lost his things, and I picked them up and returned them to him."

Hearing what Lin Qingbai said, other people felt that it was much easier to understand. If someone dropped something on the road, let alone a jade ear as light as a feather, even if it was a real feather, Lin Qingbai would return it.people.

All the students then followed Lin Qingbai and called Mr. Qin.

Qin An's expression was cold, he stood there and stared at the children motionlessly with lowered eyes, and did not respond to the children's greetings.

But these children don't care, Shao Yunfan likes Lin Qingbai very much, as long as he sees Lin Qingbai, he is very happy, so he doesn't care who else is around, he looks up and says to Lin Qingbai: "Master, I thought you didn'tAi came to Yelan Street, I didn't expect to meet you here today."

"Well, I'll come today if I want to."

"Master, I found some good things here today! I'll show you." As he spoke, Shao Yunfan took out two big red dolls from his pocket and handed them to Lin Qingbai.

Shao Yunfan said to Lin Qingbai: "Master, I heard from the vendor that these two dolls have the spirit of a fairy from the fairy world on them, and they can protect his master's safety and success in everything."

Lin Qingbai followed Shao Yunfan's hand and looked at the doll.

It's just a fat baby the size of two palms, wearing a big red padded jacket for the New Year, smiling beamingly.

It does look very festive.

Lin Qingbai said: "Very cute, very good."

Although Lin Qingbai only said a very short sentence, Shao Yunfan was very happy. He lifted the big fat baby in his right hand to Lin Qingbai, and said to Lin Qingbai: "Master, this babyFor you."

Lin Qingbai was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously rebuffed: "Master doesn't need it, since you bought it, keep it well."

As soon as Lin Qingbai said this, Shao Yunfan became anxious, and he quickly said: "Master, this one is not expensive! I bought two for one spirit stone, and I bought this one specially for Master! Even todayI didn’t meet Master here, and I plan to give this doll to Master tomorrow, Master must accept it, I hope Master is safe and everything goes well!”

Shao Yunfan said excitedly, his little face flushed.

He held the doll tightly with one hand, and handed it high in front of Lin Qingbai, as if Lin Qingbai didn't accept the doll, so he wouldn't let it go.

Now that the words have come to this point, Lin Qingbai has no reason to refuse.

He took the Xi doll from Shao Yunfan's hand, raised his hand and stroked Shao Yunfan's little head, and said with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, "Thank you, I like it very much as a teacher."

Lin Qingbai seldom laughed, but when he did, there was a soft light between his brows and eyes, and even the moonlight in the night sky couldn't compare to him.

Shao Yunfan Yang

Seeing Lin Qingbai smiling, he was taken aback for a moment, and then happily said to Lin Qingbai: "It's okay, Master, as long as Master likes it."

Seeing that Shao Yunfan used the doll in his hands to get Lin Qingbai's head touching and smiling, the disciples beside him were also impatient, and they stepped forward one after another, picked up the new gadgets they had just bought, and gave Lin QingbaiSaid, and even gave things to Lin Qingbai.

"Master, this one of mine is the longevity turtle of the fairy clan, and it can also bless the master with good luck!"

"Master, there's mine! And mine! This one of mine is the Sunny Sky Talisman of the Ghost Clan. As long as you stick it on your body, it can protect people from the rain. This is for you!"

"Master, I have mine and I have mine!"

.........

Lin Qingbai listened to what they said patiently, with a soft expression on his face, but he politely declined the gifts that others wanted to give them one by one.

Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Qingbai said: "It's getting late today, let's all go back."

The children dispersed after listening to Lin Qingbai's words, but there were still three people who stopped by the place Lin Qingbai was going back to, and the three children walked by Lin Qingbai's side all the way.

It also happened that those three people were chatterboxes, and they kept talking all the way, even if Lin Qingbai didn't respond, the three of them could still talk happily.

These few people lived not far away, and they returned home one by one after a short while.

In the end, only Lin Qingbai and Shao Yunfan were left.

When Shao Yunfan walked beside Lin Qingbai, he always liked to look up and talk to Lin Qingbai constantly.

Lin Qingbai responded, and he continued, but as long as Lin Qingbai answered him, he would be very happy.

Shao Yunfan's home is not far from Mushan Academy, one is on the street and the other is at the end of the street, it's only a two-minute walk away.

Shao Yunfan walked to the door of his house, smiled and waved to Lin Qingbai: "Master, see you tomorrow."

Lin Qingbai said, "Well, see you tomorrow."

After sending Shao Yunfan away, Lin Qingbai walked all the way to Mushan Academy.

These days, the Lin family is arguing about the division of the family property. Li Niang's voice is loud, and she is in a bad mood if she can't get the family property.Watching her lose her temper with the servants, every word she said was pointing and cursing at Lin Qing.

Lin Qingbai didn't want to go back to that home anymore, he might as well rest in the Mushan Academy to be clean.

Lin Qingbai walked to the door of the school, took out a copper key from his waist pocket, unlocked the iron lock on the door, and walked into the school, but turned around and put his hands on the door, about toWhen closing the door, he suddenly stopped the movement of his hand.

He saw that Qin An was still...

When he was talking to those apprentices, Qin An didn't leave, but followed them in the distance without saying a word.

Now Qin An was standing in that dark street, looking up at Lin Qingbai standing on the steps with his chin slightly raised, his eyes were deep.

"Young Master Qin..."

"Young Master Lin..."

The two suddenly spoke out at the same time, and at the same time paused what they wanted to say, they just looked at each other.

The voice suddenly rose and fell, the street was silent, only the breathing of the two of them remained.

Lin Qingbai doesn't like others paying too much attention to him, let alone a stranger who only met once. If it was someone else, Lin Qingbai would definitely have doubts in his heart, thinking that he was someone with malicious intentions.

It's just that for some reason, when he saw Qin An's eyes, he felt that Qin An had no malice towards him.

So he stood in the narrow space between the two wooden doors and asked Qin An: "Why doesn't Mr. Qin leave?"

At this time, Qin An had already restrained his embarrassment when he saw Lin Qingbai, but fixed his eyes on Lin Qingbai, as if he wanted to see every inch of Lin Qingbai's skin firmly.mind to go.

Even though the person whom he had been dreaming of for a hundred years was right in front of him, he still clenched his fists, restrained himself and stood still, responding to Lin Qingbai's words in a low voice.

"Mr. Lin just picked up

The jade ear is very important to me, I haven't thanked Mr. Lin for his kindness, so naturally I won't leave without saying hello......"

Hearing what Qin An said, Lin Qingbai let down his guard.

He knew that if he thought about it differently, if someone picked up something extremely important to him, he would not take it, so he left without saying a word.

So Lin Qingbai responded: "It's just a matter of raising your hand, Mr. Qin doesn't need to pay attention, what did Mr. Qin want to say to me just now?"

Qin An was dressed in black, with the painting scroll he just bought on his back, but he was as heroic as if he was carrying a saber, and his figure was reflected in the shadows, and he looked at Lin Qingbai with heavy eyes.for a long time.

Just when Lin Qingbai thought he couldn't speak, Qin An said in a low voice: "Mr. Lin, you have so many apprentices......"

Lin Qingbai only thought Qin An was asking casually, he nodded and said, "I am the teacher of Mu Shan Academy, so naturally there are many apprentices."

Hearing what Lin Qingbai said, Qin An slowly raised his eyes to look at the banner on the door.

It is really written in four big characters - Mushan Academy.

"Mushan Academy..."

Qin An repeated these four words in a low voice, and his eyes dimmed.

Lin Qingbai raised his hands to support the door frame, and wanted to close the door, so he said to Qin An: "It's getting late, Mr. Qin, please go back."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Qin An's response, he closed the door little by little in front of Qin An's eyes.

In Lin Qingbai's mind, this matter was just a small episode that was not worth mentioning. He returned to Mushan Academy to rest for a night, and then put it behind him.

Two days later, it rained heavily at night.

Lin Qingbai was in the dormitory, there was some wind leaking from the windows, which made the candles on the table flicker, when suddenly there was a hasty knock on the door.

Lin Qingbai just changed his outer shirt, and was about to extinguish the candles and go to bed to rest, when he heard the voice, he straightened up vigilantly, and listened carefully to the movement outside the door.

The rain outside was loud, Lin Qingbai held his breath, but he didn't hear the next knock on the door for a long time.

Just when he thought it was his auditory hallucination, the knock on the door sounded again, louder and more urgent than before.

Lin Qingbai heard clearly this time, he quickly put the coat hanging on the wall on his body, held up the oil-paper umbrella, and walked out of the room quickly.

There were bursts of lightning and thunder in the sky, and puddles were everywhere on the ground.

It was too dark at night, and Lin Qingbai couldn't see the road clearly. He accidentally stepped into a puddle several times, and his trouser legs were more than half wet.

The wind and rain came in from outside the umbrella and floated on him intermittently.

Lin Qingbai didn't care about these things, knocking on the door on such a rainy day was either something urgent or something bad.

Lin Qingbai walked to the gate, and glanced out along the crack of the door. It was this glance that made him stiff, and he immediately opened the wooden door and walked out quickly.

Qin An was standing outside the door. Unlike the last time when Lin Qingbai met him, his clothes were neat, his figure was straight, and his aura was tough. This time he stood unsteadily in the rain, and his whole body was drenched by the rain.Drenched and pitiful to look at.

And this is not what made Lin Qingbai panic the most, the most important thing is that Qin An was injured...

The position of his right arm should have been slashed, and it was cut to a bloody mess.

I saw his face in pain, one hand tightly covering the wound on his arm, but the blood still flowed out along his fingers, along the heavy rain, fell to the ground, and finally stained the rain on the ground red.

Lin Qingbai is just a teacher who teaches and educates people in the realm of comprehension, and he has never seen such a posture before.

He hurried forward and put the oil-paper umbrella in his hand on Qin An's head, wanting to support him, but he was afraid of touching the wound on his body, so he was flustered for a while and didn't know what to do.

"Master Qin, what's wrong with you..."

Lin Qingbai's voice trembled a little.

It should be that the injury was too serious, Qin An's body suddenly staggered backward twice at this moment, Lin Qingbai rushed forward to support his shoulder.

He was afraid that he would not be able to support himself

Qin An used a lot of strength in his hands.

His hair was soaked in the rain, and his ten fingers wanted to pinch into Qin An's shoulder, and his chest was pressed tightly against Qin An's side, almost half hugging him and supporting his body.

Qin An turned his head, his face was pale, and his face was already covered with rain.

Only those dark eyes were fixed on the anxious and worried expression on Lin Qingbai's face.

I saw him leaning against Lin Qingbai, his eyes suddenly turned into a weak and pitiful look, coughing intermittently, and said to Lin Qingbai in a hoarse voice like blood: "cough cough cough cough......Mr. Lin.....Today I was attacked by a gangster and had nowhere to go...I wonder if Mr. Lin can take me in for a day..."
