I protect you in the name of the dragon

Chapter 18

Xiao Ruan nodded: "Well, I'm not very used to eating out."

Xu Yanqing couldn't help asking her: "So, you cook all by yourself?"

"That's it."

Xu Yanqing thought for a while, then laughed happily: "Does it mean that I can eat the meal cooked by the teacher himself today?"

"If you don't mind, I'll make it for you." After a pause, Xiao Ruan, who was driving seriously, turned her head and slid a glance at her, the corners of her lips slightly hooked: "But you don't have a choice, because there are many restaurants near my house. Apart from being expensive, the restaurant is not as good as what I cook.”

Xu Yanqing pursed his lips and smiled, turned his head and kept staring at her perfect side face: "Teacher, do you find that you are quite narcissistic at times." Today Xiao Ruan changed into the soft cloth dress of a lady in the past, Put on a suit of business attire, appear capable and temperamental.

"Not narcissistic, I'm just..."

Before Xiao Ruan finished speaking, Xu Yanqing continued quickly: "Seek truth from facts! I already guessed what you were going to say."

The atmosphere in the car was silent for a moment, and the two laughed at the same time.

"You really..." Xiao Ruan shook her head with a smile: "It's really different..."

"You too." Xu Yanqing suddenly lowered his head and fiddled with his nails: "You are excellent, so excellent that I dare not stand with you."

Xiao Ruan didn't speak, and was terribly silent.

Xu Yanqing seemed to feel some anger from the corner of her lips, so he half-jokingly said: "Even if you are excellent, I still plan to rely on you, who told me that you misunderstood me so deeply in the first place and made me angry For a long time, I was so angry that my face was full of pimples. Look, the pimple marks are still here. You can live at home and be a bodyguard. I want to hold on to your big tree. As the saying goes, rely on the big tree Trees are good for shade."

After hearing these words, Xiao Ruan's eyes flashed a little bit of loneliness, and her tone was a little low: "Don't think too well of me, you don't understand me at all."

Xu Yanqing yelled at her: "Don't look like this, she is happy, you insist on pouring cold water on her."

"I didn't pour cold water, I just stated a fact that you have to face, this may be the last time you and I eat."

Xu Yanqing's complexion suddenly changed, he straightened up, looked at Xiao Ruanbo's calm face at the moment, and asked anxiously, "What do you mean?"

"Remember what I said before, I'm going to resign."

"I remember, but it wasn't because I went to the principal to give you a small report and made you angry. Teacher Xiao, I was wrong. I used to be self-willed and ignorant. Don't worry about it." …”

Xiao Ruan sighed, interrupted her, and her tone gradually softened: "It's not your fault, it's my problem. I'm leaving. I made a decision long ago."

Xu Yanqing frowned tightly: "Leave? Where are you going? Abroad, haha..." She pretended to be relaxed and smiled astringently: "It doesn't matter, even if you go to the ends of the earth, you can still meet. Why do you say that? You have to be so decisive."

Xiao Ruan shook her head and smiled warmly: "What a child, the place I'm going to is far, far away..."

Through Xiao Ruan's deep eyes, Xu Yanqing was lost for a moment, Xiao Ruan at this moment gave her an illusion that she was about to disappear in this world...

"It's okay, no matter how far you go, I can find you. I think the distance between people is only one palm."

Xiao Ruan looked at her reddened eyes, and realized her position in the child's heart. She felt sore, but she still smiled and asked, "One palm? What do you mean?"

Xu Yanqing covered his palms in front of his eyes, and said with a smile: "Look, I can't see you now, when I put my hands down, you will be in front of my eyes again, simply explain, this is a palm." As he said that, Xu Yanqing's voice became smaller and smaller: "Actually, the distance between people is only one palm, but the distance between hearts, I don't know... it's visible. It’s not called distance, what’s invisible is distance.”

Xiao Ruan was originally amused by her, but her subsequent words made her sound sad: "I wish that the distance between you and me will always be only one palm." Xiao Ruan didn't know that this sentence was for comfort What the person in front of me said was from the bottom of her heart... The feeling Xu Yanqing gave her was different from others, but she didn't know where the difference was, she really didn't know... 3000 years have passed Yes, she sees too thoroughly about emotional matters, and instead becomes more and more unfamiliar...

Xu Yanqing was really happy to hear her say that... But thinking back to what this woman said today and the strange tone, she felt uneasy and always depressed...

After another ten minutes, Xiao Ruan told her, "Here we are."

Xu Yanqing took a deep breath, and first got out of the car after sorting out his emotions.

Out of curiosity, I looked around this place, because I talked to Xiao Ruan along the way, so I don't know which part of the city this place is in.

Originally, Xiao Ruan said that the surrounding restaurants were expensive, so I guessed that her home should be in the city center, or a high-end villa or community, but...why is this place so primitive?

Except that the parking place is a concrete road section, the subsequent roads are paved with loose stones, and the bushes are lush, but there is no trace of artificial construction.

Follow Xiaoruan and walk up a small path, which is a bit steep and uphill. Looking up, there is a large peach forest, which is very spectacular. It is a pity that the peach blossoms are in full bloom, otherwise it must be very spectacular.

A little further up, there are a few very thick sycamore trees, which grow very well. From a distance, they look like big balls of green cotton candy, very cute.

Xu Yanqing counted them carefully, and it happened that there were six phoenix trees surrounded by them, which looked like a very old courtyard house, but it didn't look like a courtyard house, because this building was even more ancient and fragrant than a courtyard house, and it was a bit like a TV drama in ancient costume. The appearance of the house.

Xiao Ruan took out a key, unlocked the big lock on the door knocker of the ancient animal head, pushed the door open, and asked Xu Yanqing to enter.

"My God..." Xu Yanqing couldn't help admiring. There are courtyards, corridors, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water... The building in front of you is simple yet exquisite, just those patterns are overlapping. The leaky window is enough to marvel for a long time. The vermilion pillars are carved with various ancient mythical beasts. They are neither dragons nor phoenixes.

Xu Yanqing withdrew his gaze, then stared at the copper-colored knocker and the big ancient copper core lock again, and couldn't help laughing: "Isn't this lock openable with a piece of iron wire? You seem to be very relieved. Don’t come home one day and someone pry the door and windows away.”

Xiao Ruan shook her head with a serious look: "No, no one can come here."

"No one?" Xu Yanqing held the lock. It was very heavy, but it was an ancient lock, and now he could even pry open the safety door, let alone this kind of lock. Not so that people will not find out, not to mention that there is such a beautiful house hidden in it, you are so lucky, you have never been robbed." Xu Yanqing knew that if this guy was robbed once, he would never With such a lock, there must be a five-story security door and a big iron door!

Xiao Ruan didn't speak, but just invited her in. When the door was closed, she looked at the light yellow barrier outside the whole room, shook her head and smiled helplessly like self-deprecating.

It's true that no one can come in here, because she is not a normal person.....

Xu Yanqing walked ahead cheerfully, looking at the unknown stone pillars on the side of the road, lying on the small bridge and looking down at the flowing water below, the curiosity and happiness in his heart were beyond words: "Is this running water? It It's flowing."

Xiao Ruan walked slowly to her side, and said softly: "Yes, it is a living spring drawn from the mountain."

"Live spring!" Xu Yanqing smiled into a crescent moon: "Can I drink it? I went to those ancient towns before, and there were springs there, but they told me that I couldn't drink it because it was polluted... I watched TV shows, their spring water, The river water is drinkable..." Xu Yanqing lay on the white stone guardrail of the small bridge, looking around like a curious child.

"I can drink."

"Really?" After saying that, Xu Yanqing wanted to go down and have a drink, but was stopped by Xiao Ruan: "Don't go down, it's quite high and dangerous."

Xu Yanqing pointed to the front and said, "Aren't there stone steps to go down there?"

"slip."

Xu Yanqing stared blankly at Xiao Ruan, and finally spread his hands: "Okay, if you don't want to go, then you won't go."

Xiao Ruan smiled gratifiedly, then took her hand and led her forward.

Xu Yanqing's held hand trembled slightly, and he looked at the person walking in front of him with some surprise. This was their first skin-to-skin contact. Xiao Ruan's hands were long and thin, with well-defined joints, and it was not very comfortable to touch. Soft, but very warm, a tingling feeling gradually spread from the palm of her hand, making her whole body stiff... But she doesn't hate this feeling, on the contrary, she likes it...

Xiao Ruan didn't seem to feel anything, so she walked in front calmly, and said to her: "This house mainly continues Tang's style, but with the development of the times, it has gradually been modified and reinforced, and materials have been replaced, so look at it. It’s a bit different.” She pointed to a house on the right and said, “That’s my study, where I usually stay most of the time, and the one on the left is where I stack some unused items, and the one opposite is my study room. A place to live."

After passing the small bridge, there is a cobblestone path with green grass beside it, and the stone benches and pavilions create an extraordinary scenery.Xu Yanqing felt that this place was much more spectacular than some famous scenic spots.

"Your house is like a park." Xu Yan sighed: "It would be great if my house could have something like this, just look at my mood every day." Suddenly, she made a decision: "I must earn a lot of money in the future. Money, to decorate my own home like this."

Xiao Ruan slowed down and walked side by side with her, hummed, and thought for a moment: "I was still hesitating about what to do with this house before I left. Now that you like it so much, I might as well send you off."

Xu Yanqing was so frightened that her face turned pale. Although she never used money to measure things, it was too scary for someone to say that she was going to give her the house in front of her, which was far beyond her. acceptable range.

Seeing that her face was not very good-looking, Xiao Ruan couldn't help frowning and asked, "Why, don't you like it?"

Xu Yan touched her forehead and murmured in a low voice: I don't have a fever.

Xiao Ruan didn't speak, but thought for a while, and realized that the decision she blurted out was indeed too inappropriate and too scary, so she quickly changed the subject and said, "You're hungry, go in and sit down, I'll go prepare lunch."

"Okay!" Xu Yanqing didn't want to continue that topic, no matter whether Xiao Ruan was joking or not, she was still in shock, and no matter what, it was impossible for her to accept this house, unless she was crazy about money!

Xiao Ruan let go of her hand and walked into the house.

Xu Yanqing naturally couldn't sit still, and disappeared in place in just a few seconds.

This place is a brand new world for her, she is too late to be curious, how can she sit peacefully.
