All-Rounded Strategy Game

Jiang Li got too close, giving Xuanqing a short illusion, thinking that he had returned to the day when the two of them hid behind the Buddha statue in the ruined temple.

He felt that Jiang Li's palm pressed against his chest seemed to be carrying an unnamed fire, and the scorching temperature burned into his skin and even his flesh and blood through the thin clothes.

There was a "bang-" heartbeat in his ears. As Jiang Li said, he felt his heart hit his chest like a random frequency, developing in an unusual direction.

There was still time to turn on the lights in the room. In the dimly lit room, there was only the slightest light from the moonlight spilling in from the door, but the distance was too close, making the two of them look at each other from the faint light.

In the quiet night, the very close distance in the darkness created the ambiguity and ambiguity between the two that could not be ignored.

Each other can hear each other's breathing, but no one blinks.

Xuan Qing felt a little restless somewhere deep in his heart, something he wanted to break free from the shackles of his identity, broke open, and he felt a bit thirsty in his throat.

But it was not like the usual thirst, but there was an unknown desire in his heart, which prompted him to do something, but the string called reason was tense to prevent him from getting lost.

——Xuanqing, a person must have a belief in a lifetime. You have been cold since you were young, seemingly detached from the world, but you are deeply trapped in the world, unable to convert to the Buddha with all your heart. This time you descended the mountain and waited for you to find the meaning of your survival in this world. It is the time when you have a great enlightenment. If you still have the heart to take refuge at that time, the master will naturally place the scars for you by himself.

A kind voice rang in his ears, accompanied by the sound of the long and thick bells in the temple, dispelling the thoughts in his heart that had not yet been fully formed.

He closed his eyes and folded his hands together, isolating the entanglement with Jiang Li's eyes.

The faint light casts on half of his face, printing his unhappy facial lines, the movement and inadvertent love just now disappeared, like a light smoke, no trace to be found.

He is still the young monk who did not touch the worldly fireworks when he first met.

Jiang Li felt his chaotic heartbeat slowly subsided, stared at him for a while, and then slowly squeezed the palm of his chest, as if he was holding something important.

Only he knows that he can't hold anything.

Jiang Li retracted his hand, took two steps back, restrained and politely said "Excuse me", then turned and left.

His steps were steady, his clenched hands didn't let go until he left the door, and he didn't look back.

And Xuan Qing behind him, his closed eyes never opened, and there was no strangeness on his face, only the unnatural tightening of the lower jaw was fleeting.

...

As soon as Jiang Li returned to his room, someone came over to prepare hot water for him to bathe. He took off his clothes and stepped into the tub, leaning against the edge of the tub a little tiredly, putting a hot and humid towel on his eyes.

"Master host, are you okay?" The system asked aloud, it felt that Jiang Li's mood was very depressed at this time, and even very sad, which made it very worried.

Jiang Li leaned on the tub, motionless.

After a long time, he slowly stretched out his hand to take off the towel from his eyes, and the loneliness that had not yet dissipated in his opened eyes.

"You said..." He said hoarsely, "He always does this. He forgets me completely when he turns around. If one day I leave and don't want to chase me anymore, will he regret it?"

The system was silent for a while and said: "Don't be sad, he will remember it."

The system is just a virtual existence, no matter how smart it is, it cannot empathize with Jiang Li's heart and emotions at this time. Jiang Li chuckled lightly, with tiredness and self-deprecating in his tone: "Yes, I always remember it. This is probably my only relief."

It's just that he is a human being after all, a man of flesh and blood, not just a tool for strategy games.

During these long years, his heart and mind are full of memories of hundreds of years with the other party. After experiencing the unreserved and strong love of the other party, now just a strange look in his eyes makes him extremely uncomfortable. .

"Master host." The system called him, wanting to continue to comfort, but in the end he remained silent.

Sometimes, in the face of reality, language tends to appear weak. Although it knew that in the end, Xuan Qing would definitely be tempted again, but in the long river of time, the one who was responsible for the pursuit of life after life had to bear too much.

Jiang Li's eyes were empty and he was also silent for a while, then closed his breath and sank into the water.

...

The next day, Jiang Li got up from the bed, and after washing up, he went to the money clerk to say goodbye.

He and Xuan Qing originally came here to deal with Jiang Feihua's affairs. Now that the people have been arrested and the officials have sent them away, naturally there is no need to continue to stay.

Qianwai heard that he was leaving, and he was a little anxious: "So fast? I haven't had time to rest you and Master Xuanqing. Why are you leaving? Master Xuanqing?"

"Jiang Feihua's matter has been resolved, and we should go back." Jiang Li said. He has not discussed with Xuan Qing, but with Xuan Qing's character, he will definitely not stay longer.

At this moment, Mrs. Qian happened to come in from outside, and when he heard what he said, she also said: "Mr. Jiang, you and Master Xuanqing are great benefactors to our family, we can't just leave like this, otherwise we will really feel sorry."

Jiang Li smiled, so that they don't have to worry about it. Since the Qianwai had promised to donate the sesame oil money to Xuanqing and their temple, even if this matter was settled, they did not come to help in return.

Even if he said so, Qian Yuan still disagreed. For him, money is something outside of his body. How can sesame oil money be compared to saving his daughter's life, so he eagerly persuaded Jiang Li to stay for a few more days, so he could do his best as a landlord.

Jiang Li thought that there would still be a few days to go back to Qingshui Town. If he stayed here for a few more days, his father at home would definitely have to worry, so he declined the kindness of the money member.

"What about Master Xuanqing?" Qian Yuan saw that he was firm and planned to start from Xuanqing's side. But as soon as he opened his mouth, he heard a voice from the door: "You don't need to keep me."

The three of them walked around and found that Xuan Qing had already arrived at some point, and was standing at the door.

In the eyes of Qian outside member, although Xuan Qing is also a good person, but after all, he is not as gentle and polite as Jiang Li. When he speaks out, Qian outside member dare not mention the matter of keeping people.

But in order to express his gratitude, he still asked the two to stay and have a meal before leaving.

This Jiang Li didn't have any opinion, anyway, they had to eat their stomachs if they wanted to go on the road.

In order to thank them very much, Qian Wai, this meal kitchen can be said to have made a lot of effort. The food table has everything that flies in the sky, runs on the ground, swims in the water, and is a huge table full of large and small plates.

After considering Xuanqing's identity as a monk, he also specially ordered the kitchen to cook a lot of vegetarian food. The vegetarian dishes alone consisted of more than 20 servings. The sincerity was all on the table.

As a big family, the chef’s craftsmanship is definitely nothing to say. I have to say that this meal is the best and most satisfying meal that Jiang Li came to this world, and the boiled water Xuanqing gave him. Wild vegetables are simply a heaven and an underground.

When he thinks that as an injured person, he still has to eat unflavored wild vegetable seedlings, he feels that the wound hurts, and he glances at Xuanqing who is sitting next to him complainingly.

Xuan Qing was eating the meal, thinking that although the taste was good, it was a little worse than the meal Jiang Li had cooked for herself in the cottage before.

Mr. Qian personally poured tea for Jiang Li and Xuanqing, then raised the cups and said to them: "Master Xuanqing, Mr. Jiang, today I am Qian’s substitute tea for wine. Thank you for their great kindness. What can I do, Qian Mou can help, even if the two of you speak, I will not refuse Qian Mou!"

"Thank you for the two great kindnesses." Madam Qian also stood up with a smile, and raised the tea cup towards them.

Qian Qingqing is no exception, holding a teacup, expressing gratitude: "The kindness of Master Xuanqing and Mr. Jiang is unforgettable for Qingqing."

"You guys are really serious about it." Jiang Li smiled. From the short time he got along, he could see that the guy was indeed a person who values ​​love and knows how to be grateful.

Everyone clinked the glasses together and drank the tea in the cups, then the Qian member sat back on the stool and smiled and greeted Jiang Li and Xuan Qing to continue eating. You are welcome.

Mrs. Qian next to him kicked him under the table and motioned to him with her eyes.

Member Qian suddenly realized that, he glanced at his daughter who was eating quietly next to him, and then asked Jiang Li: "Mr. Jiang, the situation was urgent yesterday, but I have to ask where you live in the future? How come you came to us?"

"I'm from Qingshui Town." He asked ordinary questions, and Jiang Li had nothing to conceal. "I just completed my studies at Puzhou University this year, and I am planning to go back to my hometown."

Puzhou University is a very famous academy. The dean of the academy used to be second in high school and an official in North Korea. Later, after returning to his hometown, he was hired as the dean of Puzhou University.

And most of the students who go out of Puzhou University are very accomplished people. Last year's Jinke champion went out from here.

When member Qian heard that Jiang Li was a student of Puzhou University, his eyes brightened, and Mrs. Qian looked at each other, and they all saw surprise and satisfaction in the eyes of the other party.

"Puzhou University is a good place. Mr. Jiang is indeed young and promising." The member of Qian praised him from the outside. He did not expect that Jiang Li was not only kind-hearted, but also full of knowledge. It was too unexpected and too pleasant.

"Liao Zan, I'm just lucky enough to be admitted." Jiang Li said modestly, after all, the original body took the exam three times before he was admitted.

But to the outside ears of Qian Yuan, he was extremely humble, and he was more satisfied with his behavior. He asked, "I don't know how old Mr. Jiang is this year? Who else is in the family?"

Jiang Li thought he was asking a bit strange, but he answered truthfully: "I just turned 20, and there is still a father in the family."

As soon as he finished speaking, the member of Qian patted his thigh: "Okay!"

Jiang Li: "What's so good?"

Mr. Qian’s old face was almost full of laughter, and he said cheerfully, “Mr. Jiang, my family is young and twenty-eight this year, and has not yet been approved by others. I am thinking about a match with you. What do you think?”

Jiang Li was taken aback for a moment, before he realized how he was eating, he suddenly became a blind date, and a "pop" sound suddenly sounded next to him.

Everyone looked at him and found that Xuan Qingsheng had broken the chopsticks in his hand.

Qian Wai: "???"

Why did you suddenly feel murderous?
