Chapter 491 Danchen takes the initiative

Time passed quietly, night fell quietly, and the whole courtyard was shrouded in a quiet night.

The moonlight was like water, shining through the carved window lattices and sprinkling on the ground inside the house, as if covered with a layer of silver gauze.

Outside the window, the breeze blew gently, and the flowers, plants and trees in the courtyard made rustling whispers, and occasionally there were a few insects chirping, adding a bit of quietness to the night.

With a creak, the carved wooden door of the alchemy room in the courtyard made a slightly crisp creaking sound.

With this sound, the door of the alchemy room slowly opened from the inside to the outside, and a slender man walked out slowly.

The moonlight fell on him, reflecting the angular face, it was Xiao Ling who had been thinking about the alchemy technique for another afternoon.

He raised his eyes slightly, and his eyes swept across the quiet courtyard, as if he was recalling the bits and pieces of the alchemy process, and seemed to be appreciating the unique scenery of the manor under the night.

"Is it so late? Others should have gone to rest, right?" Xiao Ling murmured softly, slowly looking around the quiet courtyard, and then slowly retracted his gaze.

He raised his arms and stretched his body happily. His mind, which had been highly focused all afternoon, gradually relaxed in this stretching movement.

After a busy afternoon, Xiao Ling's overall condition still looked very good.

However, after an afternoon of concentration, even he could not help feeling a little tired.

Because of this, even though his current strength is no longer what it used to be, and his physique has changed dramatically compared to the past, he doesn't even need to rely on sleep to put his body into a resting state. However, due to the habit of regular work and rest time developed in his previous life, Xiao Ling is still willing to take a nap from time to time as long as he has the opportunity to relax himself completely.

Humming a few brisk little songs, Xiao Ling walked leisurely, admiring the beautiful scenery in the courtyard with interest, his eyes lingering on the flowers, the pond, and the moon, while walking slowly towards his room.

The figure blended into the courtyard under the night, and it became a different scene.

When Xiao Ling walked around the corner of a corridor, the view in front of him suddenly became wider.

His mind moved slightly, and almost subconsciously, Xiao Ling's eyes involuntarily cast a look at the pond not far away in the courtyard.

In the sight, I saw a graceful and beautiful figure sitting on the pavilion beside the pond.

Looking at the girl's appearance, she was at the age of seventeen or eighteen. Her immature appearance was just like a flower bud that had just emerged in spring, with ignorance and shyness, which made people feel pity in their hearts at a glance.

She was wearing a white dress, the hem of which seemed to be woven from the softest clouds, fluttering gently with the breeze, and every flutter was like a soothing dance on the stage of the night.

The moonlight fell like broken silver, pouring on her, outlining a layer of dreamy halo for her, which spread along her hair, shoulders, and to the hem of her skirt, making her whole body seem to emit a soft light, shining in the night.

Her fair face was as delicate as the finest jade, her eyebrows were like distant black, and when she frowned slightly, she seemed to hide some of the girl's thoughts.

Her eyes were like a clear spring, clear and bright, with a quiet and peaceful breath in the flow, as if she could wash away all the troubles in the world one by one.

Under the small nose bridge, the pink lips were slightly pursed, with a bit of shyness, and seemed to be silently telling her little secret.

The girl just sat there quietly, blending in with the moonlight, pond, flowers and plants in the courtyard, forming a beautiful and tranquil picture that makes people unable to look away, exuding a unique charm that makes people want to get close but afraid to disturb.

"Tsk tsk, this girl Danchen looks quite pretty and charming on weekdays, but now under the moonlight, the more you look at her, the more pleasing it is to the eye, and there is a special charm..."

Such a beautiful scene in front of you is really amazing. Even Xiao Ling, who has seen many big scenes, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly when he first saw it.

The graceful young girl, dressed in a white dress, sitting quietly in the pavilion, looks more peaceful and elegant. At this moment, it happens to be this dreamlike and beautiful night scene, with moonlight pouring down, light and shadow interweaving, plus the rare quiet atmosphere lingering around, the three blend together, which together constitutes such a wonderful and rare scene.

It seems that Danchen, who was originally immersed in her own fantasy world, almost subconsciously casts a look in this direction, as if she was keenly aware of Xiao Ling's undisguised and direct gaze.

When she saw that the person coming was Xiao Ling, Danchen's heart couldn't help but tremble slightly, as if a little deer was bumping in her heart.

However, she still relied on the rationality in her heart to force herself to maintain a calm expression and try to make herself look calm.

Then she waved to Xiao Ling gently, and raised the corners of her mouth with great effort, revealing a faint smile like the first blooming of spring flowers, but her slightly flushed cheeks still inadvertently revealed her inner panic at the moment.

A soft and tender "Brother Xiao Ling" came out from her cherry-like beautiful mouth. Although the sound was not loud, it sounded like a clear stream in the mountains hitting pebbles, crisp and beautiful.

Under the blowing of the cool evening breeze, the voice seemed to float into Xiao Ling's ears leisurely with strands of gentleness, making people feel happy.

When Xiao Ling saw this, a gentle smile appeared on his face, which was regarded as a greeting. Then, he walked slowly towards the direction of Dan Chen.

Dan Chen, on the other hand, saw Xiao Ling's figure gradually approaching him, and became more and more panicked as if there was a little rabbit in his heart.

She hurriedly sat up straight, her originally peaceful face also tainted with a nervous look. Her small hands unconsciously held the hem of her skirt, but her eyes were firmly locked on Xiao Ling, as if she was expecting something, and then He seemed a little shy and didn't know what to do.

"Sister Chen'er, how do you feel about watching the night view here alone? Although the scenery in my courtyard is not unparalleled, it is not bad, right?"

Arriving not far in front of Dan Chen, Xiao Ling stopped. He saw Dan Chen's efforts to stay calm but was actually very shy inside, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, showing a gentle and somewhat joking smile.

Xuan Ji took the initiative to speak, breaking the slightly awkward silence. His voice seemed particularly clear and friendly in the quiet night.

"Brother Xiao Ling is joking. If the stunning scenery here is not beautiful, then there are not many places in the world that can be called beautiful."

Seeing Xiao Ling take the initiative to break the silence, Dan Chen's originally nervous expression relaxed a little. She lowered her eyes slightly, then quickly raised her eyes to look at Xiao Ling, with a well-placed smile on her face. Xiao Ling spoke softly, her voice soft and sweet, floating in the gentle evening breeze.

After a short pause, Dan Chen seemed to have fallen into some kind of beautiful longing. He involuntarily lowered his head slightly, and there seemed to be light shining in his pair of autumn eyes. He murmured to himself in a low voice: "If... if, It would be great if I could always live here with Brother Xiao Ling from now on..."

"Oh? Sister Chen'er, do you want to live here?" Xiao Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, with a gentle smile on his face, and his tone was full of teasing, "If you like it, you can come anytime You can live here..."

Dan Chen's low voice was really very low, and she suppressed it deliberately. But Xiao Ling's perception was so sharp, and the distance between the two was not that far, so Dan Chen Naturally, Xiao Ling heard those words as thin as a gnat.

"Um...no, no..." Hearing Xiao Ling's words, Dan Chen suddenly blushed, and his heart felt like it was suddenly tugged by an invisible hand. He didn't know what was in his heart. The little idea has been exposed.

The originally smiling face was instantly stained with a bit of embarrassment and panic. A hint of confusion flashed through her clear eyes. She subconsciously bit her pink lower lip, and her hands unconsciously tightened the hem of her skirt. , the whole person was like a frightened deer, trying to find a place to hide, but not knowing what to do, so he could only stand there awkwardly, not daring to look directly into Xiao Ling's eyes.

"Haha, I'm not kidding. As long as you have this idea, you can stay here as long as you want..." Xiao Ling chuckled lightly, looking at the girl in front of him who was as shy as a peach blossom in spring, and only thought in his heart I find it interesting and cute.

Xiao Ling has never seen such a pure and shy girl around.

Shaking his head slightly, Xiao Ling realized that if he continued teasing, the little girl might faint from shyness, which would not be appropriate.

So, Xiao Ling smiled and stretched out her hand, gently rubbing Dan Chen's forehead, with a bit of pampering and tenderness in that action.

This book was recently updated in ##六@@九@@书@@!! Updated!

Immediately afterwards, he changed the topic, with a look of expectation on his face, and then said: "It's a good night today, why don't you, sister Chen'er, come and go shopping with me..."

Faced with such a sincere invitation from Xiao Ling, the shyness in Dan Chen's heart was quickly replaced by a hint of joy. Naturally, she had no intention of refusing, so she nodded gently and opened her lips slightly, He whispered "Yeah" to express his agreement with Xiao Ling's proposal.

When Xiao Ling saw Dan Chen agreeing, the smile on his lips became a little deeper. Without any further delay, Xiao Ling slowly took back the hand that had been placed on Dan Chen's forehead and gently caressed it.

Then, his palm moved down gently, and with an inadvertent intimacy, he gently held Dan Chen's slender and smooth white jade hand.

The moment his fingers touched, an electric current seemed to spread throughout his body from his fingertips. Xiao Ling felt that the hand was as soft as the finest silk, delicate and warm, which made his heart tremble slightly, subconsciously. He held the hand tighter, but he was afraid of hurting her, so he used the strength in his hand just right.

As for Dan Chen, her pretty face turned red instantly, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, as if it was about to jump out of her throat. She lowered her head, not daring to look at Xiao Ling, but the hand she was holding also Without any intention of breaking away, he just let Xiao Ling hold him like this, and the atmosphere between the two suddenly became charming and sweet.

…

The hazy moonlight drooped down from the edge of the sky and poured quietly into the courtyard, as if the whole world was covered with a dreamy silver gauze.

The bright moonlight passed through the gaps between the mottled leaves, and the broken shadows falling on the ground were like stars scattered in the world.

In the courtyard, only two figures, a man and a woman, were seen walking hand in hand. Xiao Ling had a tall and straight figure, an extraordinary temperament, and a gentle smile at the corner of his mouth.

Dan Chen was nestling next to her like a little bird. Her white dress looked even more holy under the moonlight. Her cheeks were still stained with an unfaded blush, and her eyebrows were full of shyness and sweetness.

The steps of the two were very light and slow, as if they were afraid of disturbing the tranquility of the night. Every step they took seemed to be stepping on the watery moonlight.

The breeze blew gently, carrying the fragrance of flowers and plants, lingering quietly around the two of them, as if whispering to their companions.

In the pond beside them, their figures were reflected in the sparkling waves. As the waves rippled, the reflections became swaying, as if they wanted to carve this beautiful scene into the pond water and keep it forever.

The moonlight, the courtyard, the beauties, and the beloved all together form an extremely beautiful picture that makes people immersed in it once they take one look, and cannot bear to look away.

However, the good times are always as short as the sand on the fingertips, slipping through the fingers inadvertently.

Although the area of ​​​​the courtyard is indeed not small, after all, it is only a small distance.

The two of them held hands all the way, admiring the beautiful scenery under the moonlight, but before they could fully enjoy this rare comfort, they unknowingly arrived in front of Xiao Ling's room.

The exquisite and elegant carved door exudes a bit of tranquility under the moonlight, but it also announces that this strolling time is about to come to an end, making people feel a little reluctant to give up.

Xiao Ling slowly reached out and pushed open the door. The door shaft turned and made a slight sound, which was particularly clear in this silent night.

Then, he couldn't help but turn around again and his eyes fell on Dan Chen who was staring closely at him.

Dan Chen's clear eyes, filled with complex emotions of reluctance and shyness, were looking at him quietly.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Ling couldn't help but let out a chuckle, and then gently waved to Dan Chen and said in a soft tone: "Sister Dan Chen, I'm going to rest first. If there is a chance in the future, we will Let’s go to the night market in Shengdan City together..."

"Hmm..." Dan Chen responded softly, his voice soft and sweet with a hint of cuteness, and then he slowly lowered his head, as if he agreed to the words before parting.

However, where Xiao Ling couldn't see it, a pair of jade hands behind him involuntarily squeezed slightly.

The eyes that were covered by a few strands of hair in front of the forehead completely lost the shy and delicate look in the past. Instead, there was a persistence rising from the bottom of my heart...
