"Little Dragon..."

Under the silver light, the girl's voice was timid, resounding in the courtyard, like floating dust under the starlight...

Ning Ji watched her footsteps across the yard, opened the door and looked outside, turned her head, and she raised her face from below.

"...Little Dragon."

Only then did the voice change slightly, it was no longer weak, it seemed to have suddenly quieted down.

She turned around and gently closed the courtyard door, then returned to the room, took a sip of water, climbed the ladder, and climbed up to the roof.

Sitting down next to Ning Ji.

For a moment, none of them spoke.

On a quiet night, starlight shines on the roofs and streets ahead, like a sea, showing silver and black waves. The city has fallen asleep, and there are shadows of trees in the distance, sleeping by the black courtyard wall. The small building boats are like huge but docile animals, falling asleep by the rippling river. Only occasionally watchmen walk through the streets in the distance.

They also seem to have fallen asleep in this silence, looking at the night, unwilling to wake up.

However, it was Ning Ji who spoke first.

…

"Maybe...something happened..."

"Um."

"A friend who came over that day, the one called Zuo Xingzhou, maybe something happened."

"'Hunyuan Ax' Zhou Xing."

"Well, I... I'm not sure either."

…

Whether or not to talk about this matter, Ning Ji struggled for a long time this night.

But sitting on the roof at this moment, the girl beside him didn't show too much questioning. He could feel that she was sitting beside him quietly, her arms were softly leaning against him, her legs in linen trousers stretched out, and gray cloth shoes under her feet. Her body is not as hot as his, and even gives people a cool feeling.

Ning Ji couldn't help but speak out.

…

"...When I was still in the southwest, I had some personal friendships with the Zuo family. I even...was comrades-in-arms on the Jurchen battlefield... The situation in Fuzhou was tense this time. Zuo Xingzhou wanted to pretend to be a bad guy and help the court find out information. A few days ago, Yue Yun was acting with him... Today Yue Yun came to find Zhou Xing and Zhan Yunhai with great fanfare. I think the biggest possibility is that they have disappeared... And the judgment of the court is that something may have happened to them..."

"...Couldn't it be Mr. Yue who is continuing to create momentum for them?"

"...It may be very small. If they have successfully penetrated into the enemy's interior, it is more likely that there will be extra problems if they make a sudden rush here. Moreover, a few days ago, Zuo Wenxuan came to see me. I didn't understand some of the things he said and some of the jokes he made. Now that I think about it, it becomes clear...He wants to find out if Zuo Xingzhou has any connection with me, but he doesn't want to alarm me..."

"...Zuo Wenxuan is..."

"...ah, that's the glasses, he's..."

…

In the second half of the night in Fuzhou, with the night wind blowing gently, Ning Ji talked about the situation of Zuo's family in general. For the trip to Fuzhou, the expectations for the past month were very relaxed, and he didn't raise too much vigilance in his mind, but he was already alarmed at this time, and many things could form a specific context.

Looking back at the behavior of Zuo Wenxuan and Yue Yun, Zuo Xingzhou probably lost contact for several days, and there is already some evidence of an accident.

But that wasn't something that bothered him.

He felt the girl's soft touch from his right arm.

Since their reunion in Jiangning City, the two have already had some ambiguous skin-to-skin contact, holding hands during travel, hugging in caves, or fighting while washing their feet together after arriving in Fuzhou. But at this moment, this contact on the roof seemed to have a completely different feeling.

He feels in love.

Some embarrassing words, at this moment, are not easy to say. He is a warrior who came down from the harshest battlefields. In the past days, he was able to go forward bravely to meet anything he encountered. Something happened to Zuo Xingzhou—even Zuo Xingzhou died—this was not such a difficult situation to face. But at this moment, he couldn't think of a perfect way to arrange her.

"...I came from the southwest. It's actually a bit like running away from home. It's not easy to go back if I don't make a big name. So when I arrived in Fuzhou, I didn't want to have too much contact with the Zuo family...Of course, it doesn't mean that the Zuo family is really facing any difficulties right now. This is their territory. Some bad people will be cleaned up anyway..."

After some words, analyzing the situation at the beginning, the logic is clear. After arriving, because I haven't fully thought about it, I said a few nonsense. The peaceful night breeze and the girl did not burden him too much, but at a certain moment, when he paused slightly, the girl's voice sounded.

"...Xiaolong, I just thought...you left me..."

What this sentence said was not about Zuo Xingzhou. Ning Ji turned his head away. In the night, he saw Qu Longjun coming up to meet him, and pressed his soft lips on his mouth.

On a summer night, the feeling of icy coldness has turned into a warm feeling in my heart. Ning Ji didn't feel any surprises, he seemed to have known for a long time that these things would happen in a certain place at a certain moment, and the feeling of his heartbeat was thumping, and it became very loud...

"...I, I...I won't..."

"…Um."

Their shadows are on the roof, touching each other lightly...

…

The night wind comes from the sea, quietly blowing across the ancient city under the stars, the watchman's lantern soaks this long street, and then ripples on that street.

They sat on the roof for a long time, and when the night was darkest, Ning Ji picked up the girl who had fallen asleep quietly, and walked down the roof slowly. His martial arts skills are high, and his mood is also calm. When he carried the girl down the steep wooden ladder, it was as if he was descending slowly and steadily from a high altitude.

He put the girl back on the bed in the room, and still had the heartfelt words she had just confided in his mind.

"...Xiaolong. When I was young, I was actually the daughter of a warrior family, and my father was a general. Therefore, although I studied, played the piano, and learned to be a female worker when I was young, what I wanted to be more at that time was a free female general..."

"...After my father passed away, I was bought by Wen Shoubin, learned a lot, and lived a very dark life...Xiaolong, during that time, I didn't dare to think too much. Sometimes, I would want to die...I went to the southwest, and I heard Shoubin's words, and I was going to make trouble for the Huaxia Army. Later, on the darkest day, I met you...I thought I would die on that day..."

"...At that time, I seemed to have really died on that day... After waking up, you and Aunt Gu showed me new things every day... At that time, you kept a straight face all day long, and I was so afraid of you, but slowly, I realized that you want me to be a complete person..."

"...I don't know what to say. At that time, I just remembered the past. I thought of my childhood, my dead father, and slowly remembered more things...Xiaolong, before that, I was always a cargo. You saved me. Sometimes I wonder if I became your cargo. I will think like this for a long, long time..."

"...After leaving Southwest, I often think of you and Aunt Gu. Xiaolong, I will often think of your stern face, and the way you killed Wen Shoubin and those other people that night. You are highly skilled in martial arts and very upright. After leaving Southwest, I have never seen such a person again. Later that day in Jiangning, I suddenly heard your name again. It was really like a dream..."

"...Xiaolong, I want to be with you..."

…

"...I want to be with you, but I don't want to be a burden to you...Xiaolong, in the past year or so, I walked from the southwest to Jiangning. In the first half of the journey, the uncles of the Huaxia Army taught me a lot. In the second half, I also saw a lot of things. I saw a lot of ordinary people. They also work hard. Maybe some people are deceitful, and some are not so decent, but I also learned a lot. You know, I can pretend to be a beggar, put on airs, and make myself look ugly..."

"...But I thought, what does it matter? Just like what you wrote in the book you gave me in the southwest, ordinary people also have their own ways of living, and so do women... I may not be able to become a great hero like you, but there are many people in the world who want to find their own way of living..."

"...Xiaolong, I want to be with you... Then when we are outside, we will always encounter such and such things. I know you will hesitate and be embarrassed, but I don't want you to become a cowardly person just because you want to protect me...I am the daughter of the Wu family, and I am not stupid. I will definitely find a way to survive with you in this world, Xiaolong, I want you to help me..."

…

Except for the initial sentence "I thought you didn't want me anymore" which was slightly choked up, Qu Longjun who spoke in the night was actually calm and firm. This always reminds Ning Ji of the time when he was spying on him in Chengdu, the girl at that time looked weak and gloomy, UU reading www. uukanshu.com is like a dandelion, it will disperse when the wind blows, this fragility arouses his desire to protect.

But only now did I realize that during the period of reunion, except for the topic of "bringing her", the girl always seemed a little worried. The rest of the time, she was already like a flexible weed. She was always organized, organized, and assertive. Especially during the recent period in Fuzhou, she seemed calm and independent.

She has changed from a daughter of the Wu family to a skinny horse that was sold, perhaps the Qu Longjun in front of her is the original appearance in her heart.

Even when she said embarrassing words like "I want to be with you" and even kissed her, except for her skin becoming hot, she still looked calm and calm.

This made Ning Ji less embarrassing.

He also wanted to be with her.

So this morning, he also confessed his love to her like this.

…

The night wind strokes the morning grass and dew.

When the sky turned pale, the girl was sleeping, Ning Ji went to the courtyard and punched her.

The city gradually woke up in the silence, lights began to light up in the distance, and the rooster was crowing. The fists in his hands were slow and heavy.

After coming to the southeast, for the first time in the boy's life, he really felt the sea.

At the same time, he also felt the peace of fighting against the sea.

In the early morning of May 30th in the third year of Wu Zhenxing, in the southeast, it was a fiery midsummer.

She and him began the midsummer of accompanying each other—
