Volume 2: Memories of Yonghui (Part 1) Chapter 12: Encounter with a Beautiful Boy at Mirror Lake
After Yao Ji screamed and rushed out of the bamboo house, she ran all the way, sweeping away the fallen autumn leaves all over the ground...
Everyone in the bamboo house looked at each other, but in the end no one chased out. Mo Yi suddenly retracted the cold iron short blade in his hand and shook his head, wondering what this drama was.
The man in black who suddenly came in also had a look of surprise and amusement on his face. He looked at the gradually disappearing back, and then looked at the handsome young man who had a blank expression on his face, as if he was trying to find some answers on Mo Yi's face.
In fact, the chill that was released from Mo Yi's body just now was one of the reasons why the man in black showed mercy.
The man in black did not want to let the other party know his true strength at this time, because subconsciously, he could feel the other party's unfathomable strength.
But he didn't want to be looked down upon by the other party, because the reason why he came in to see Mo Yi so abruptly was that he had something to discuss with him.
This is probably the contradictory psychology of the game between strong people.
If not for this, the two people on the ground might not be so relaxed at this moment.
Although the Wucheng duo had just suffered a big setback, they were fortunately not seriously injured thanks to Yao Ji's timely intervention. Those two were people who could take things easy, and since they were not as skilled as others, it was better for them to keep a low profile.
After all, they were the first to attack, and the man in black was just fighting back, so he was right. And, most importantly, in this bamboo house, no one dared to be too presumptuous, after all, this was someone else's territory.
However, the owner of this territory is someone who is best not to be provoked.
The Wucheng duo sensed the sudden weird atmosphere in the room, looked at the two young men who were looking at each other with unfathomable expressions, shook their heads and felt it was boring, patted their butts awkwardly and walked out, leaving the two young men who were playing at being mysterious to continue the boring confrontation.
They looked at the direction where Yao Ji disappeared in the distance, but did not dare to chase after her. After all, the two of them were the culprits. Although they still didn't understand why the makeup that they thought was as beautiful as a fairy was sneered at by the young man and the man in black at the same time.
The two men exchanged , expressing a feeling of helplessness that was not understood by the world.
Yao Ji, who was running wildly all the way, ran for five or six miles before she stopped.
Following the sound of the gurgling stream, she found the mountain stream that she had noticed on her way back. She jumped lightly and came to the stream.
It was a very clear stream, surrounded by bamboo forests, cool and hidden.
When I came back, I wanted to stop and take a look, but I was dragged back to the bamboo house by the Wu Cheng duo without stopping.
Thinking of the bamboo house, she couldn't help but recall Mo Yi's weird eyes and his livid face. Yao Ji had a bad premonition in her heart even stronger. Although she leaned forward and squatted by the stream, she subconsciously closed her eyes, somewhat afraid to look at her own face reflected in the stream.
After a while, she bit her lower lip tightly, thinking that since things had already happened, there seemed to be nothing to be afraid of. In the worst case scenario, wouldn't Mo Yi and the man in black have shouted out?
Oh my God, who is this scary female ghost in the water?
In the clear water, a face even more terrifying than the female ghost in the ghost painting that Senior Brother Wu Su had shown him was clearly reflected in the water, and her cleft lip was slightly open, as if she had just drunk human blood...
Is this herself?
At this moment, Yao Ji hoped from the bottom of her heart that someone would knock her out from behind with a palm...
Shame, anger, self-mockery, all kinds of emotions mixed in my heart.
She scooped up a handful of cool stream water and rubbed it on her face. She seemed to be afraid that it would be difficult to wash off the thick layer of makeup, so she simply went all out and immersed her entire face in the stream. She rubbed it vigorously twice, and then seemed to remember something. She raised her bare hands and let her hair, including the terrifying bun on her head, fall down and sank into the stream...
I don't know how long it was until Yao Ji felt her cheeks were rubbed so hard that she stopped. The face that emerged from the stream was finally her usual plain face, although her cheeks were slightly red from Yao Ji's rough actions just now...
Only then did Yao Ji sigh with relief, and sat down on the gravel beside the stream, and the various emotions in her heart calmed down slightly.
Until now, she was still willing to believe that the Wucheng duo had good intentions, but... sometimes good intentions led to bad results, and she couldn't blame others.
Forget it, the past is the past. Yao Ji is open-minded by nature. Since the matter has been done, the face has been lost anyway. They have also laughed at it. There is no point in thinking about it. I just don’t know how to face everyone when I go back...
Pretend nothing happened? Yao Ji was not sure if she had such determination and thick skin. Unexpectedly, Mo Yi's hateful, dark smile that had been suppressed for a long time appeared in her mind. A wave of shame and anger surged in her heart. The little girl's cheeks turned even redder at this time, and she was actually staring at the stream in a daze.
An unknown amount of time had passed. When Yao Ji came to her senses, she found that a faint ray of moonlight had quietly fallen through the gaps in the bamboo forest. She thought that she had come out at dusk, and it seemed that she had been out for some time. Afraid that Wu Cheng and the other man would worry about her, Yao Ji gathered her thoughts and prepared to go home.
As she was about to return the same way, shaking her wet hair, she felt something strange about the stream for a moment.
The gurgling stream became strangely calm. Yao Ji didn't know if she was dazzled, but she felt that the flow of the stream slowed down, or even stopped! It was as if the ruffled spring water was gently smoothed by someone...
Yao Ji subconsciously closed her eyes, her lips quietly opening and closing, as if she was silently chanting some spell, her left hand fingers slightly immersed in the stream, her right hand pinched the "Spirit Water Jue"
Then, Yao Ji suddenly opened her eyes and jumped into the air. She tapped the tiptoes and lightly touched the water surface like a dragonfly skimming the water. She seemed to be pulled by some invisible thread and flew in a certain direction down the mountain.
It was a lake of medium size.
The silvery moonlight fell on the calm lake, like a huge silver mirror. In the shimmering water, there were occasionally lotus leaves the size of a palm floating in the water, with different colors.
This is quite like a paradise on earth, Yao Ji thought, but she was not in a hurry to get closer. She carefully concealed her breath and stood quietly behind an ancient tree by the lake.
She had just followed the unusual movement of the stream, but the final source was very strange. The lake was downstream of the stream where she was just now. What kind of power could reversely affect the flow of the stream?
Yao Ji's clear black eyes patrolled the seemingly calm lake, as if looking for something.
Finally, a small black dot that was faintly emerging from the water in the center of the lake caught her attention.
Yao Ji squinted her eyes and carefully held her breath.
A green figure suddenly emerged from the water, half-naked, bathing in the moonlight.
I saw that person half floating on the water with a calm expression, looking up at the moonlight, with his eyes slightly closed and his lips slightly parted, as if he was greedily absorbing the essence of the world.
Then, in the blink of an eye, the man sank back into the lake. His figure was as agile as a fish in the water, as if he was originally a spirit in the water.
Although she only saw the man's profile, and it was only for a brief moment, Yao Ji was stunned! She even forgot the embarrassment of peeping at someone else bathing.
It was a face that one would never forget once seeing it.
A face as handsome as a jade, and eyes as beautiful as a painting?
No, these words are too simple. Yao Ji felt that all the words in her mind were not enough to describe that peerless beauty.
The stunning beauty and purity of the lady in green, and the handsomeness and elegance of Mo Yi, were nothing but clouds in front of this man.
It's a man.
The chest is flat...
Well, although Yao Ji didn’t have voyeurism, the other party’s actions were so obvious that Yao Ji didn’t even have time to turn her eyes away before she could see everything.
However, thinking of that exquisite face, Yao Ji really couldn't associate that face with his gender.
It turns out that there really are peerless men in this world...
The man had long dark green hair, which was rare.
Yao Ji was immersed in her own thoughts when she heard a cold voice: "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Only then did Yao Ji come to her senses, and was surprised to find that her neck was cold, with a hint of chilliness. She lowered her head slightly, and then she found that a bone hairpin was sticking straight to her neck.
She was startled for her carelessness just now, and noticed the wet dark green hair of the person behind her, and she already understood the other person's identity.
However, he did not expect that the other party was so alert. He was still cruising in the lake, but in an instant he discovered him peeping at the shore and took the initiative.
However, Yao Ji was not panicked at this time, because she could not feel the other party's murderous intent. At most, the other party was just angry at her peeping.
Thinking of this, Yao Ji's face turned red again in an instant, and her expression was a little strange. After all, peeping at a young man bathing was not a fair thing to do, although she did not mean it.
She coughed twice to hide her embarrassment, then replied in a deep voice: "Well, sir, I'm sorry for what I said just now. I didn't mean to peek at anything on purpose. I just felt that the stream was a little unusual upstream, so I followed it to take a look. Unexpectedly... I just happened to see you floating to the surface..."
By the time she got to the end, Yao Ji was so embarrassed that she didn't know how to continue.
She felt the person behind her was slightly stunned, and then the cold voice continued to come from her ear. Only then did Yao Ji notice that the voice was clear and crisp: "What did you see?"
Yao Ji's face immediately turned red to her ears. What did this mean? What did she see? What could she see? It was just a half-naked man.
The question is, can a little girl of fifteen or sixteen casually say such frivolous words?
Yao Ji was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do. It was not right to say anything, and it seemed even more awkward not to say anything.
The other party didn't know what was going on in Yao Ji's mind at this moment. She felt the other party's bone hairpin pressed against her neck slightly deepened, which seemed to contain a hint of threat. Yao Ji knew that this was not the time to be shy. She took a long breath, as if she was going all out, and replied with full energy: "What else can I see? You don't have breasts, what's so good about you?"
Yao Ji felt a stiffness behind her and thought that she was done for. Did she say something wrong? She was thinking about how to escape, but she heard a loud laugh from behind her, and then the bone hairpin around her neck disappeared.
Yao Ji turned back in surprise, only to see the man with long dark green hair that she had just seen on the lake, no, the boy! He was leaning against a tree, holding his stomach and laughing until he was out of breath.
Yao Ji thought back in confusion, wondering if she had just said something shockingly funny.
