C30 He Hadn't Slept for the Whole Night

At that time, Liu Jing felt that there was something fishy about this matter, but he didn't have the time to ask. In the following month, Shao Moli went to Prime Minister Mansion almost every two or three days. This made Liu Jing even more suspicious.

Thinking of this, Liu Jing said to the servant guarding the door, "It's getting late. I think it's time for Young Master Shao to come back. How about this? I'll go to his study and wait for him."

Although Liu Jing was only Shao Moli's servant on the surface in the General's Mansion, everyone in the General's Mansion knew that Shao Moli treated him as his own brother. Even Great General appreciated him very much. Therefore, the servants of the General's Mansion treated him as their second young master. Since Liu Jing said so, the servant naturally could not say anything. This allowed Liu Jing to enter Shao Moli's study room.

After entering the study room, Liu Jing first placed the calligraphy thread in front of him on the desk in front of him. Then, he leaned against the desk and carefully measured the decorations around the study room.

There was a long sword hanging on the wall near the window. There was a green tassel attached to the hilt of the sword. Liu Jing had bought it when he was shopping the last time. Since he happened to see Shao Moli's sword, he gave the tassel to Shao Moli.

Shao Moli looked very happy when he took the sword tassel. Speaking of his brother, who didn't listen to anything outside the window and only looked at the peach blossoms, when did he finally understand and know how to buy things for his brother? Although it was small, it was more considerate.

Thinking of this, the corner of Liu Jing's mouth couldn't help but raise slightly. He had casually bought it. It was a small thing. This big brother of his had actually kept it until now. But looking at the sword hanging on the wall, Liu Jing shook his head with a smile. No matter how sharp the sword was in his big brother's hands, it was just a decoration to show off.

Liu Jing knew very well in his heart that Shao Moli hated to dance with a sword the most. He said that it hurt his elegance, but for some reason, he liked watching him dance with a sword. There were many things that people could not understand about this Shao Moli. Liu Jing did not hesitate any longer. Just as he was about to find a stool to sit down, a strong wind suddenly blew past. Liu Jing did not close the door tightly just now. This time, the wind blew in. He blew down some of the letters that had been on the desk.

Liu Jing immediately shut the door tightly when he saw this. Then he walked to the desk and picked up some of the letters that were scattered on the floor. The words on the letters were strong and vigorous. It was Shao Moli's usual style. Suddenly, Liu Jing, who was picking up the letter, was stunned. He put the letter he had picked up aside. Then, he got up and walked to the foot of another table. He bent down and picked up the piece of paper that had been blown to the foot of the table.

Different from the other letters that were full of words, There were only two words on this piece of paper. Nianxi. Liu Jing frowned and unconsciously tightened his grip on the paper. Was it her? Nianxi. This name made him worry about her every day.

Liu Jing turned his eyes and saw another piece of paper out of the corner of his eye. He hesitated for a moment but still picked it up. Sikou Nianxi's eyes were so dazzling at the moment.

Liu Jing was stunned. He seemed to have understood something. Sikou Nianxi, Sikou Chang, Prime Minister Mansion. That's right. How could he not think of this?

A helpless bitter smile spread from the corner of his mouth. Liu Jing arranged the letters and the two pieces of paper and placed them back on the table.

He slumped onto the stool. His eyes were filled with pain as he slowly closed his eyes. It was as if the woman holding the peach blossom appeared in front of him again. Her smile was even more charming than the peach blossom. Her clear voice was like silver bells. "My name is Sikou Nianxi." Heh, shouldn't I have thought of this long ago?

Liu Jing already knew that Sikou Nianxi lived in Prime Minister Mansion. Si Kou's surname was rarely seen in the world. Not long after Shao Moli rescued him and brought him back to the capital, Liu Jing received news of Sikou Nianxi. He knew that she had also come to the capital.

But he did not dare to see her. For some reason, he did not dare to see her. He did not dare to tell her his feelings. He had been waiting for an opportunity. An appropriate opportunity. An opportunity that she would not reject when he expressed his feelings to her. But before this opportunity came, Shao Moli came in.

A cool breeze blew past, pulling Liu Jing's thoughts back to reality. Could it be that the night was long and there was nothing to do? He had actually inadvertently recalled so many past events.

When he opened his eyes, Sikou Nianxi's sleeping face was still in front of him. The surroundings were shrouded in mist, and the bonfire in front of him was still spitting out flames. Sikou Nianxi's breathing was long under the illumination of the fire. The fire flickered, and Liu Jing could not see her face clearly.

All of this did not seem to be real. Liu Jing was really afraid that a gust of wind would blow and devour the flames on the fire, and Sikou Nianxi would disappear along with it.

Liu Jing stayed in the same place for a while and thought about some of the things that happened in the past. When he came back to his senses, he found that the fire had completely gone out. There was only a pile of ashes and some wood that had not completely burned out.

The sky had already turned white. The first weak ray of sunlight penetrated through the layers of fog and sprinkled on Sikou Nianxi's sleeping face. It was mottled.

Sikou Nianxi's eyelashes trembled slightly and she opened her eyes. The corner of Liu Jing's lips curled up. The first thing Sikou Nianxi saw when she opened her eyes was Liu Jing's faint smile. "You're awake."

"Yes, I am." Sikou Nianxi, who had just woken up, was still a little confused. After shaking her head, Sikou Nianxi stared at Liu Jing. "It's dawn." Liujing nodded and stood up from the rock. His voice sounded tired. "Yes, it's dawn. We should hurry."

Sikou Nianxi also stood up from the rock mountain and followed behind Liu Jing. She stared at his thin back and could not help but ask. "Did you not sleep all night?"

Liu Jing was stunned. He stopped but did not turn back. "Yes, I did not sleep. I thought about a lot of things." Sikou Nianxi, who was at the back, felt that something was wrong with Liu Jing. She asked, "What did you think about?"

"Nothing much." Liu Jing walked to the Thousand Li Good Horse and untied it from the tree. He turned to Sikou Nianxi and said with a smile, "Besides, I was not allowed to sleep last night. Look, this forest is so strange. What if we both fell asleep and some snake, bug, and mouse ants crawled towards us in the middle of the night?"

Sikou Nianxi frowned and said, "Although you said that, you did not sleep last night. Can you still endure the rush today? Don't be dizzy later. You can't even walk out of this forest."

Liu Jing laughed when he heard that. "So what if I haven't slept all night? I used to practice the Five Elements Eight Trigrams Formation. When I encountered something I couldn't figure out, I studied it from books all night long. The next day, I still worked for Young Master Shao."

"Five Elements Eight Trigrams Formation?" Sikou Nianxi looked at Liu Jing thoughtfully. "You also know the Five Elements Eight Trigrams Formation?" Liu Jing picked up the bow on the ground and put it on the horse. He looked at Sikou Nianxi and said with a smile that was not a smile, "What is it? You are allowed to know the Five Elements Eight Trigrams Formation, so no one else is allowed to know it?"
