Daughter, you have to pay after eating

  A "clatter" sound, it was the sound of a spoon falling to the ground and scattering. // Extracurricular book

  So crisp that both people on the scene were thoroughly stunned.

  Looking at the spoon that fell to the ground and broke into several pieces, Han Xi's eyes slightly drooped, and the long eyelashes cast two clusters of dark shadows on her eyes, making it impossible for people to see the expression in her eyes.

  However, the subtle and sorrowful aura emanating from her at this moment makes it impossible to ignore.

  At this moment, Han Xi's eyes were as if surrounded by a layer of sorrow, that kind of melancholy made the ghostly heartstrings tighten, and those dense black eyebrows were furrowed tightly in an instant.

  Because he didn't know what he said wrong, why Han Xi's eyes, which were originally full of smiles, became so abnormal after hearing his words.

  However, Gui Mei only knew that he really disliked Han Xi Tong very much.

  At this moment, her whole body exuded a sorrow that made his heart feel extremely uncomfortable. It was as if there was a huge boulder pressing down on his chest.

  Then, the ghostly figure furrowed his brow and moved his lips as if to say something, but before he could speak, Han Xi suddenly raised her eyes and stared directly into his.

  Still those beautiful eyes, but at this moment, when looking up at him, it seemed as if there was something different.

  In those beautiful eyes, the sparkling smile from earlier had already disappeared, replaced by a faint sense of detachment and indifference.

  At this, the ghost felt a sharp pain in his heart...

  Compared to the ghostly charm in his heart, this guy's cold and gloomy eyes, how could he have ever felt at ease!?

  Because of his last sentence, her heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but think of Cheng Wei again. That man whom she had once deeply loved.

  It was that man who made her understand what love is, and it was also that man who transformed her from a naive and simple girl into a woman.

  But it was also that ruthless man who made her thoroughly understand what betrayal is, the kind of feeling that quickly falls from heaven to the abyss of no return, how painful and desperate it is, unforgettable for life!

  So, when she heard the man's words in front of her and looked at his extremely familiar yet subtly different face, she knew he wasn't Cheng Wei. However, looking into his eyes, it still somehow pained her heart...

  Thinking of this, Han Xi felt that she was so stupid and clumsy.

  Shouldn't she have forgotten that damned man by now? The man in front of her was just like that man, so why did he still evoke her unbearable emotions?

  Han Xi Tong, wake up! It's time to forget! After all, you're no longer the same Han Xi Tong as before, are you?

  Thinking of this, Han Xi's eyes adjusted her mood and looked at Gui Mie again, her gaze had returned to its usual calmness, perhaps with a hint of detachment.

  Because she saved this man unintentionally, and she didn't want to have any more contact with him.

  Then, Han Xi's red lips lightly opened, and she said calmly.

  "I don't know!"

  "Oh."

  When Han Xi Tong heard the words, Gui Mei only slightly moved her lips and finally only uttered a single syllable.

  However, I don't know why, but my heart feels stuffy.

  She said she didn't know him.

  Yes, they didn't know each other in the first place, did they?

  However, why did he feel a little uncomfortable in his heart when he saw her distant and cold expression again?

  In her mind, the ghostly eagle's eyes were lightly closed, and she didn't know what she was thinking about.

  Just as Gui Mie was feeling depressed, he heard Han Xi Tong's next sentence and quickly raised his eagle eyes, which were filled with astonishment and surprise.

  "What?"

  "I said, how can I get in touch with your companion?"

  Seeing the man's stunned expression, Han Xi endured his temper and his tone was still cold.

  After all, they were people who didn't have anything in common from the start.

  In addition, she also had to go to Death Valley to find the immortal grass, so she didn't want to waste any more time on this man in front of her.

  Because if she delayed for a second, she might be separated from Zhen Tian forever.

  At the thought of that kind but unfortunate man, a pang of heartache and sympathy flashed through Han Xi's eyes.

  So, he didn't notice the faint sadness and loss that flashed in her eyes because of his words.

  "Hello."

  "Ghost."

  "Huh?"

  When Han Xi heard the two words that the man suddenly spat out, she was taken aback for a moment before reacting, realizing that it was his name.

  "Oh, so you're called Gui Mei."

  Ghost, what a strange name, it's a bit eerie, and I don't know if it's his real name. After all, this man is obviously a hoodlum, and I don't know who he offended this time, being hunted down by someone.

  But these are none of her business, anyway they will have no intersection soon.

  But now, after hearing the man's self-introduction, Han Xi only pursed her lips tightly and lightly spat out a few words.

  "My name is Tong Er."

  Han Xi Tong didn't reveal her real name because she was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble. After all, her current name was too well-known in the Jianghu.

  Besides, judging from his appearance, this man was obviously a person of the jianghu, so she naturally wouldn't tell him her real name.

  While Guī Mèi heard Hán Xī Tóng's words, she didn't suspect anything, only moved her lips slightly, lightly repeating her name, then opened her mouth to speak.

  "There's a secret signal on my clothes. As long as you wait until the wind and snow stop tomorrow, and then light it up, my companion will see it and naturally come to find me."

  Although he thought of parting with this woman, he felt a little reluctant in his heart. However, now that he thinks about Youyue and the others again, he is even more worried.

  Nor did I know what the situation was like on the other side after I fell into the lake this time.

  At this moment, both of them were thinking about their own things, and the whole room became very quiet.

  Han Xi Tong ladled out another bowl of plain congee and started eating, after all she was also hungry.

  Finally, after she had eaten her fill, she discovered the most important thing, that is, this small wooden house was extremely narrow, and the whole small wooden house only had that one simple small wooden bed, which was now occupied by a ghost, so where would she sleep tonight?

  Sleep on the ground then, but the ground is too cold, and now it's freezing outside, she wouldn't sleep on the ground unless she wanted to die. But if not on the ground, where would she sleep?

  Thinking of this, Han Xi's eyes were tangled.

  With a worried heart, a wave of drowsiness hit her, and Han Xi couldn't help but cover her mouth to stifle a yawn.

  She is really tired.

  She got up early this morning, didn't sleep well last night, and just saved the man in front of her. She was so busy that she was exhausted and wanted to fall asleep on the bed with her eyes closed.

  What a pity, no bed...

  Just as Han Xi Tong was extremely anxious and helpless, the ghost lying on the bed seemed to have understood something from her expression. After all, he hadn't really fallen asleep after drinking the porridge.

  Those half-opened and half-closed eagle eyes had been quietly paying attention to Han Xi's every move.

  Looking at the petite young woman, she kept walking back and forth in the room, her small face, sometimes helpless, sometimes worried, then she yawned again, her fatigue was not hidden.

  Upon seeing this, the ghost involuntarily shifted its body slightly towards the bed and managed to move the small wooden bed out of the way, creating a small but sufficient space for Han Xi Tong to lie down.

  "If you don't mind, let's sleep together."

  "Uh..."

  Upon hearing the ghost's words, Han Hui, who was originally worried about where to sleep tonight, was suddenly shocked as if by a thunderclap on a clear day.

  Her eyes widened, her mouth slightly open, her face was full of shock and amazement, her eyes were wide with unbelief and astonishment, staring straight at the ghost.

  Being gazed at by her like that, Gui Mie's resolute and handsome face turned red again with a faint flush.

  Perhaps he still didn't know, having lived for twenty years, that he truly never knew what it meant to blush, but since meeting the young woman in front of him, he had blushed so many times that he couldn't even count them, as if making up for the past twenty years all at once!

  And now, when he said that sentence, looking at Han Xi's stunned eyes, not daring to believe the gaze of his own eyes, for a moment, Guimai was also embarrassed to death.

  Actually, he didn't mean anything else just now, he simply wanted to make some space for her to rest.

  After all, in this small wooden house, there is only one bed, and no straw at all. He absolutely cannot let a girl sleep on the ground!

  But given his current state, he can't sleep on the floor either. So just now, he was also speaking out of kindness. Without thinking, he said such a sentence.

  But as soon as he spoke, he himself was shocked.

  After all, now that we're here, a man and woman alone together, even if he doesn't mind, others will, and who knows what they'll think when they hear him say something like this.

  Wouldn't you think he's despicable and shameless!?

  The more he thought about it, the more Ghostly's handsome face turned red with a radiant glow, until finally, his face was so red that it seemed as if blood could drip from it.

  "Uh, when I haven't said anything."

  She pursed her red lips tightly, and Gui Mei immediately closed her eyes, looking extremely tired as if she was going to sleep.

  However, the constantly trembling disc cover revealed his nervous and flustered thoughts at this moment.

  For a moment, the room was quiet, and even the occasional howling of wolves in the distance could be heard clearly.

  After a long time, the exhausted ghost finally fell into a state of drowsiness, his mind in a haze. Just then, the spot beside him suddenly sank down.

  With a faint rustling sound, the space between her nose and mouth seemed to carry a subtle scent of roses, a fragrance unique to young girls.

  In an instant, the ghost who was about to fall asleep suddenly shook his whole body.

  Feeling the warmth and fragrance of the soft jade beside him, although the other party had never touched him at all, but it made him become especially tense.

  Heart, at this moment accelerated rapidly, 'thud thud thud' intense collision, as if a deer had jumped into the heart, constantly running and jumping wildly.

  Although it was so, he didn't dare open his eyes, and only pretended to be asleep.

  Because all his life, he had tried everything, but never lived with a woman alone, and what's more, slept in the same bed...

  The faint scent of flowers smelled between the nose is so elegant and pleasant, and it also reveals a sense of calmness and serenity.

  Before long, the tense feeling in Guimai's heart also slowly disappeared, and finally, he gradually fell asleep.

  ……

  One night without dreams, when Han Xi's eyes slowly opened, the sky was already bright.

  I originally thought that sleeping on such a hard wooden bed would make me feel uncomfortable all over when I got up, but unexpectedly, my body didn't have any uncomfortable feeling at all.

  After a good sleep, I feel especially refreshed, like a battery fully charged with energy.

  Feeling a sense of comfort all over her body, Han Xi's mouth corners involuntarily curled up into a satisfied smile.

  However, when she swept her beautiful eyes and saw the familiar face in front of her, the smile on her lips slowly stiffened.

  The man was still fast asleep, his resolute face, after a night's rest, had long since lost the pallor of last night.

  Black hair like ink, a resolute face, a full forehead, eyebrows like an ink sword, a straight nose, and lips like carvings.

  A resolute face, paired with delicate features, looks good no matter how you look at it. Moreover, the familiar sight made Han Xi's eyes have a momentary feeling of returning to the past...

  When she met Cheng Wei, she originally thought it was the luckiest thing that had ever happened to her!

  Although he was usually cold and icy, she fell deeply in love with him as if possessed.

  If he showed just a little bit of concern, she would be so touched that it's as if everyone around her was flying.

  Originally thought that Cheng Wei was just a man with a cold exterior and a warm heart, but it turned out that she was so foolish...

  Thinking back to the past made Han Xi's heart knot up, and when she looked at the sleeping face in front of her again, she felt a sense of irritability for no reason.

  The good mood was completely gone. Suddenly, she quickly got up from the bed, pushed open the tightly closed wooden door and walked straight out.

  However, Han Xi Tong didn't know that in fact, when she got up, Gui Mei had also woken up.

  However, after realizing her gaze, he pretended to be asleep all along.

  Moreover, come to think of it, since his mother passed away, he has never had a truly safe and sound sleep, from being an orphan with nothing, to being taken in by Ba Zhengtian, until now.

  But last night, he slept till dawn, a dreamless night.

  It's been a long time since he had such a good sleep, and this feeling is so wonderful.

  So he wished time could stand still at this moment.

  Moreover, when he sensed the other person's gaze, it brought a hint of sly joy to his heart.

  Although he himself didn't know what he was secretly pleased about, but he felt that the current feeling was extremely comfortable and wonderful.

  Unfortunately, such a wonderful feeling disappeared in an instant.

  As the wooden bed creaked lightly, the departure of the person beside him made his heart feel as if it was missing a corner, empty...

  She slightly opened a pair of deep and mysterious eagle eyes, looking at the small figure gently pushing open the wooden door and walking out. The ghost also slowly got up from the bed.

  Although his abdomen was still aching vaguely, after a night, his physical strength had also recovered a lot and he was no longer as weak and feeble as last night.

  Then, Gui Mei got out of bed and followed Han Xi Tong's footsteps, slowly walking out...

  The storm has stopped after a night of heavy snowfall.

  As far as the eye can see, endless white stretches out before one.

  Snow-white sky, snow-white earth, where the sky and earth meet, no distinction between them.

  As if wanting to melt the entire world into a sheet of pure white.

  The wind blowing by is very cold, but it can make people suddenly clear-headed.

  Han Xi Tong stood like this on the vast snowy ground, letting the cold wind blow across her body, blowing her long hair flying and her clothes fluttering.

  The originally irritable and disordered mood gradually calmed down after being blown by the cold wind.

  So when Han Xi turned around to see the tall figure standing at the door, her face only slightly froze for a moment before she quickly regained her composure.

  "The snow has stopped."

  "Uh-huh."

  When Han Xi Tong spoke, Gui Mei only responded lightly.

  Because he knew what Han Xi Tong's words meant.

  The snow has stopped, it's time for them to part ways.

  "The password you just mentioned, I've already lit it up, your companion should be here to pick you up soon."

  Han Xi's eyes opened slightly as she continued to speak. The ghostly figure listened, and a hint of reluctance flashed across his deep, piercing gaze, but in the end, he nodded lightly.

  "Uh-huh."

  It's just another monosyllable. It seems like he won't say anything else apart from this.

  To be honest, at this moment, he really didn't know what to say.

  As for the woman in front of him, they weren't actually familiar with each other, it's just that she had saved his life. However, after spending a short night together, he felt an inexplicable reluctance to part with her.

  Such a strange feeling, he felt it for the first time.

  But he also knew that even if they were reluctant in their hearts, they would still have to part ways.

  Moreover, judging from this woman's attire, it is clear that she also has her own affairs to attend to, and he should return to his own position as well.

  Return to being the cold and ruthless Luo Xie, rather than this unrecognizable self at the moment.

  After all, they were just each other's passing travelers...

  When she saw a group of black-clad people rushing towards this side, Han Xi's eyes confirmed that those people were Gui Mie's companions, and then immediately packed up her luggage. In the end, she just stared at Gui Mie for a moment, and said indifferently,

  "Take care."

  Take care, not goodbye.

  Maybe they won't see each other again from now on!?!

  Just as Han Xi Tong was thinking, she turned around and walked away. The ghostly figure on the other side heard Han Xi Tong's words and saw her turn around in an instant. His heart tightened involuntarily, his eyes narrowed, and before he could think, his red lips opened, and he had already spoken.

  "Will we meet again?"

  They thought they would pass each other by in life, and he didn't want to be pretentious either, because the word "pretentious" didn't suit him.

  But as he watched her turn around gracefully, he suddenly felt a sense of panic.

  Because the little woman in front of him gave him a feeling like a fleeting wind that could not be caught or pursued.

  Upon hearing the ghost's words, Han Xi, who had originally thought of leaving without a care, stiffened slightly, but she still didn't turn her head and merely said indifferently.

  "Maybe..."

  ……

  Mounting her own horse, Han Xi Tong hastily rushed towards Death Mountain.

  Since she had already wasted a night's time, she must make haste, after all, the more she delayed, the closer Zhen Cai Chen was to death.

  So, before long, she disappeared from the ghost's line of sight. However, what she didn't know was that after she left, the ghost maintained that posture, a pair of deep and piercing eagle eyes fixed on her until she completely disappeared from his line of sight, yet he still couldn't help but linger for a long time without looking away.

  Until a voice with a hint of surprise suddenly sounded from beside his ear—

  "Enchanting, you're okay!? That's great!"

  A voice filled with excitement and joy slowly drew the ghostly figure's gaze back from afar, and it fell onto a slender, elegant figure clad in bright purple.

  And this man was none other than the vice master of Luo Sha Ge, You Yue, who had been through thick and thin with Gui Mei for many years.

  Since receiving the news just now, after seeing the signal fire of Luo Ye's pavilion on this side, You Yue quickly gathered all the people who were searching for Gui Mei and rushed over here in a hurry.

  She had been searching for the ghost with her men on horseback all day and night, and now, on that delicate face of You Yue, was already filled with fatigue and desolation.

  However, that pair of enchanting black eyes, upon seeing the ghostly figure leaning against the door unharmed, immediately shot out a brilliant light, so dazzling, like a beautiful gemstone under the sun, emitting a dazzling and eye-catching glow.

  Overjoyed in her heart, You Yue quickly jumped off the horseback and rushed towards Gui Mei at an extremely fast speed.

  That noble purple robe, in the wild wind, the sleeves fluttering, and on the hem, those beautiful peony flowers were dancing with his movements, breathtakingly beautiful!

  "Enchanting, you're fine, great, great..."

  Yuè Méi was overjoyed, his arms open wide, ready to give Guǐ Mèi a hug to express his excitement. However, upon seeing this, Guǐ Mèi merely slightly furrowed her beautiful eyebrows.

  The originally overjoyed You Yue's smile paused on her face, and then, as if she had thought of something, her gaze fell on Gui Mei's abdomen.

  Because yesterday when he was killing the enemy, he saw a ghostly figure being struck by a sword and then fell into the river.

  At this thought, You Yue's face turned white in an instant, his eyebrows furrowed, and his eyes hid a worried tension, as well as resentment.

  Anyone who dares to harm the ghost will absolutely not be let off!

  Just as You Yue was making a vow in her heart, this guy's ghostly figure saw the worried look on his face, and only tightened his red lips, saying coldly.

  "I'm fine."

  Few words, shocking meaning, no nonsense, always the style of a ghost.

  You Yue listened and was also long accustomed to it. After all, she had been with Gui Mie for many years and had long been used to his coldness.

  Although he was eager to know what had happened last night, he also knew that if the ghost wanted to say something, it would naturally speak out, so he remained silent and didn't ask, but his eyes still held a faint hint of sadness...

  Unfortunately, at this moment, the ghost who was preoccupied with his own thoughts did not notice...

  ……

  Digression

  Everyone must not miss it!
