Chapter 120: Once He Was Nothing
As soon as the morning dawned, Mu Lingyi woke up, and after a whole night of sleep, he kept feeling that his emotions had become empty, and he was trapped in a dream. In the dream, he was immersed in the water, his body didn't feel anything, and he couldn't think of Yan'er, he didn't seem to feel anything, and he couldn't feel his love for Yan'er, and in the end, he couldn't even feel the panic.
Mu Lingyi woke up and thought for a long time, he slowly understood that the self in the dream was his previous self, after meeting Yan'er.
At that time, I was numb, there was no pain, no fear, no emotion......
Mu Lingyi looked down at Yan Le, who was sleeping peacefully in his arms, and the corners of his mouth didn't feel a smile, but now he was different, and he had all the emotions of ordinary people again, and these emotions came from his Yan'er.
Mu Lingyi lowered his head and gently kissed her delicate hair, for a long time, he slowly supported her head and asked her to pillow on the pillow mattress, he was extremely careful, for fear that he would wake him up.
Yan Le had no dreams all night, it was the effect of medicine, she was extremely relaxed when she slept enough, she felt that Ling Yi was about to leave before she opened her eyes, she deliberately pretended to be asleep, put her hand around his waist, and hugged him tightly.
"Senior Brother Ling Yi is about to run away, Yan'er won't let me."
Mu Lingyi was amused by her sudden delicate voice, and her heart relaxed, and her words were full of doting, "How could I run, but Yan'er woke up so early." ”
Yan Le heard him say that it was still early, squinted slightly, and found that the genius was bright, and the room was even darker, she remembered that Pan Xia said last night that she would come to remind Ling Yi to leave early, Yan Le knew that they were all afraid of ruining her reputation.
"Senior Brother Ling Yi, Yan'er will hold you for a while, and then you will go." She buried herself in his chest and inhaled the peculiar smell of his body, "I want to hold it like this forever." ”
"When it's all over, let's get out of here, okay?" Mu Lingyi asked her tentatively, he didn't have much time to stay here, and if he left this time, he couldn't enter the court again.
"Okay, Senior Brother Ling Yi takes Yan'er with him wherever he goes." She wasn't asking, she was asking for him.
"Well, I said that we will be together for the rest of our lives." He also coveted her taste, her warmth, her everything.
"Yes, we are together for life and cannot be separated." She repeated with great joy.
"Yan'er is so good." Mu Lingyi was extremely happy that she was sticking to herself like this.
"Senior Brother Ling Yi, no matter what I do, don't be angry, don't leave me." She spoke briskly, as if unintentionally, but she began to worry that he would be angry because of her autonomy.
"Okay." He would never be angry with his Yan'er, and he would never be willing to blame her, "But will Yan'er sleep again?" ”
"Okay," she said, reluctantly letting go of her hand.
Mu Lingyi finally got up, he supported his body and lay on his side, "Yan'er, obediently, I'll call you again when the hour comes." He watched her nod obediently, closed his eyes to reassure him, and lowered his head to drop a kiss on her forehead.
Yan Le felt his light kiss, the amplitude of the corners of her mouth couldn't help expanding, she suppressed her voice, and said funny: "Senior Brother Ling Yi is not leaving, Yan Er is going to hug again." Her eyes were closed, and her little hands were deliberately in the air.
"Yan'er's clingy appearance is so cute," he grabbed her little hand that was scratching in the air, gently put it to his lips and kissed it, and then gently put her hand under the quilt.
Mu Lingyi finally left the bed, he stood by the bed and wore his clothes, but his eyes never left Yan Le's quiet sleeping face, and he whispered out of the room when he saw that her breathing began to be stable.
As soon as he left the house, Xuan Fei fell from the roof.
"Master."
"You'll be back when it's time to go." Mu Lingyi carefully felt the surroundings and found that it was very quiet before he was relieved to speak.
"There were two more people who appeared under the fireflies last night, I ......" Xuan Fei hesitated.
"You go out with me, and let the remaining two protect Yan'er."
"Yes."
Mu Lingyi jumped up on tiptoe, and Xuan Fei then left the Hou Mansion with him.
Neither of them would have thought that if their words hadn't stopped, they would have been listened to by Yan Mo.
Xuan Fei and Mu Lingyi were speeding so fast that he couldn't figure out where his master was going, until they stopped in front of a waterfall.
"What happened last night?" Mu Lingyi stood in front of the waterfall, with his back to Xuan Fei, the shallow sunlight shining on his body, reflecting his cold temperament as a little lonely.
"Master, last night under the fireflies I saw Satoru Senpai, I... At first, I thought I had seen a ghost, but then I was afraid of being discovered, so I didn't dare to approach, so I didn't know if it was the person he killed. ”
"Something happened in the palace?" There was no emotional change in Mu Lingyi's voice, but his brows began to wrinkle.
"I've been following Wu Senpai, he seems to be familiar with the terrain in the palace, I have been following him for a long time, until finally I found that he returned to the fireflies, and a eunuch died after the rockery." Xuan Fei slowed down for a long time before he came out of last night's fright, and he kept comforting himself that there was a shadow of that senior Wu, and it couldn't be a ghost.
"You didn't see him kill but suspect he did?" Mu Lingyi found that there was something wrong in his words.
"The knife on the eunuch's neck is our weapon." The knives of their secret guards are uniform, and there are subtle barbs at the edge of the knife, so the skin at the wound will not be smooth, which is the rule of the door master at the time of the accident, in order to distinguish the framing of others against them.
“... The three of you put away your sabers first and replace them with something else, and ordered one of you to go back and check whether the body of the senior was buried without alarming anyone. ”
"Yes, master." Xuan Fei bowed respectfully to receive the order, but heard a sentence that he couldn't understand.
"Untie your belt." Mu Lingyi said lightly, and had already raised his hand to untie his belt and coat.
Xuan Fei was shocked by what he had just heard, he was extremely puzzled, could it be! The master didn't sleep with the princess in his arms early in the morning, did he come to take a bath? Do you want to wash with him yourself?
"Bring it," Mu Lingyi stretched out his hand and asked him to bring his belt to himself.
Xuan Fei had never resisted Mu Lingyi's orders, he would only keep asking and answering himself in his heart. He handed the belt out, and watched as his master tied it to his wrist as he walked down the waterhole until his feet were in the water.
Mu Lingyi only paused for a second, and he continued to walk.
"Master, it's early autumn, I'm afraid it will be inappropriate for you to go into the water like this." is still dressed like water, and he must not die of cold this time.
"Come and hold on to my belt, and if I keep sinking indefinitely, pull me up." Mu Lingyi didn't care that the water had reached his waist, he still forced himself to go down, and go down again.
"Master, you don't know water?" Xuan Fei was a little stunned, he never thought that the omnipotent master would not know water.
"Now you'll be enough." It's not that he can't, it's that his body has forgotten this skill, and he needs to activate it, and of course he knows that it is tantamount to learning it again.
That's not going to happen! Xuan Fei was shocked, and felt that he ran over to pick up the satin belt floating on the water, and he held the belt tightly in the palm of his hand, for fear that if his hand slipped, the master would fold into the water. He can't die, he can't live without a master, and the Dark Guard Gate can't be without a master. Thinking about it, Xuan involuntarily followed Mu Lingyi's body to the center of the waterhole.
Mu Lingyi looked at the water surface that had reached his chest, obviously the water had not yet touched his mouth and nose, but he already felt suffocated, he was eager to get rid of this strange psychology, he eagerly walked to the deepest part of the pool. He felt a lapse under his feet, and the whole person was not in the water.
Mu Lingyi wanted to hold his breath, but he had already choked on a large mouthful of water into his nose and throat, his face turned red with discomfort, his hands and feet couldn't swing at all, and his body kept going to the black hole in the depths of the waterhole. The air in his chest was gone, and he felt like he was going to faint.
Just as his eyes were about to close, he was suddenly lifted up from the water by Xuan Fei.
Xuan Fei still thought that the master was doing something underwater, and looked at the increasingly tight belt, and his heart became more and more panicked. He gently tugged the belt up, but he didn't feel any suggestive response, it was still an infinite pull-down feeling, he quickly buried the lift into the water, opened his eyes in the water to check the master's situation, and found that his eyelids were actually fighting in the water! Die!
He quickly took Mu Lingyi out of the water, keeping him away from the environment that suffocated him.
Mu Lingyi coughed up water desperately, not caring that his face was already red and about to drip blood. He got up and exercised to regulate his breath, he thought, this time he would exercise first and then go into the water.
"Hold on." His voice was hoarse from choking and coughing.
Xuan Fei quickly understood what he meant, and hurriedly followed behind him, like water again.
Mu Lingyi ran towards the heart of the pool extremely quickly, and once again put his body in the water.
What he didn't expect was that his calmed breath would become rapid the moment the water reached the top of his head, and his power would collapse when the water reached his eyes.
Xuan Fei ate the experience of the last time, and hurriedly pulled up the sinking master.
Mu Lingyi came back to his senses the moment he came out of the water, he stopped Xuan Fei from taking him ashore, and continued to stand in the water and feel the biting cold pool.
"Master, you should learn to float first." Xuan Fei also felt that the water in the pool was cold to the bones, and he had already begun to warm up.
Mu Lingyi looked at the water heavily, letting the morning breeze blow his soaked self, he decided not to do it, just try it according to Xuan Fei's method.
He let his feet swing in the water, but his frequency was not right, and he didn't go into the water again.
But at least he inhaled a little more, and he could hold on a little longer, choking a little slower.
Xuan Fei still watched the belt pull down to a certain depth and stopped, thinking that the master had succeeded, he was extremely happy that he could finally go ashore, he pinched the time, and quickly opened his eyes when he realized that the time was wrong.
Mu Lingyi avoided his eyes and held his breath in the water, he was very glad that he finally stopped choking on water, but his limbs were still uncoordinated, and he still couldn't float, he could only let the undercurrent in the water push and float with the current.
Xuan Fei thought that his master's eyes had fainted, so he quickly pulled him up, and when his hand touched his body, he slowly opened his eyes. Xuan Fei breathed a sigh of relief in the water and exhaled a series of bubbles.
Mu Lingyi learned him to exhale, watching his swinging hands control his body. He put his legs down and stood firm, grabbed Xuan Fei's hand and pushed him into the deep water, carefully watching how his legs slid through the water.
He seemed to understand, he did this when he was a child, but now he can't do anything.
Mu Lingyi remembered Xuan Fei's movements in his heart, and his head was finally willing to poke out of the water for ventilation. His face was pale from the cold, and red from choking and coughing from lack of oxygen.
Xuan Fei easily waved his hands in the water, poked his head out to ventilate, looked at the master's face was extremely terrifying, and finally asked out in confusion: "Master, why do you want to learn to swim, do you have any tasks, I can help you go." ”
It is too difficult for adults to learn to swim, their bodies are already clumsy, and their concepts are too deep, and their sense of fear is too great, which will lead to poor learning due to excessive pressure.
"It's good that you know about it, don't tell anyone." His voice had gone from hoarse to a little sharp, the sound of a cough in his throat.
"Can't Miss Yan Le know?" He was puzzled, didn't the master and Yan Le distinguish between you and me?
"Don't let her know." If she knew about it, she would be distressed, and she wouldn't agree to accompany her into the water.
Xuan Fei's heart was inexplicably stagnant, the feeling was that the master came to the cold water early in the morning to freeze and choke on the water for Yan Le, tsk, the master is really an infatuated man. I used to think that the master was cold, but I didn't expect it to be just late, but I had been waiting for Yan Le to appear.
Mu Lingyi kept adjusting his breath, constantly entering the water, constantly being pulled up from the water by Xuan Fei, and then constantly choking on the water...... He kept repeating... Until the time agreed with Yan Le is almost up.
He rushed back to flush hot water, changed into clean clothes, and then used his internal force to dry his hair as he did last night.
Mu Lingyi made sure that the cold on his body was clear before pushing open Yan Le's door.
