The banquet continued and no one could understand the girl's thoughts.
She was beside her mother and kept looking at Lu An who was toasting non-stop not far away. Her eyes were like a pool of water that could not be calmed down.
The first time she met Lu An was at the fortress of the Kingdom of Ziye. She was in the carriage and saw Lu An negotiating with the butler. She looked at Lu An's plain clothes and the steadiness on his young face that did not match his age. She was instantly attracted to him.
Later on, she wanted to take the initiative to talk to Lu An but she had never taken the initiative to strike up a conversation with anyone, let alone a boy. She was so shy that she did not know how to start a conversation.
Especially since everyone was together, if she took the initiative to strike up a conversation, she would definitely be seen by others. So she waited until everyone reached Qing Bei City and then she would have a chance.
Then, something like that happened along the way.
The many bandits made them lose their confidence and when she was in despair, the figure that appeared in her mind day and night appeared.
It was like those unrealistic fairy tales where that person's eyes were red and he was like the Demon Gods who had descended and killed all the bandits, saving everyone.
However, when she was at her most emotional, her father's death hit her like never before.
She could not accept that she had lost her father and that she had become a child of a single parent. She was in a daze the whole way and her mother was crying day and night. There was no way to comfort her.
After that, Lu An took the initiative to talk to her.
"If you're sad, cry it out." This was the first sentence Lu An said to her.
"I went through the same experience as you, but you were luckier than me." Lu An said.
During those days, Lu An would come to comfort her whenever he was free. With Lu An around, her sad heart was filled with warmth.
During those days, she felt that the distance between the two of them had become very close.
Later on, when everyone finally returned to Qing Bei City, her aunt and uncle came to cause trouble and even tried to assassinate her mother in the middle of the night. Lu An was the one who dealt with it all. This made her admire this boy even more.
However, she found that after returning to the Liu Residence, he no longer talked to her. Every day, he would close his eyes and rest in the courtyard, or simply shut himself in his room. She knew that he was protecting the Liu Estate, but she couldn't even take the initiative to talk to him.
The past week had made her even more depressed. She even thought of making herself appear unhappy so that he would care about her, but thinking that her mother would also be worried about her, she didn't do so.
Until today, when she heard the news that he was leaving, she couldn't help but cry for the entire morning in her boudoir.
Actually, she always knew that it was impossible for him to stay in the Liu Estate.
Therefore, the delicacies in front of her, the singing and dancing outside the door, nothing could attract her attention. She just wanted to see him one more time and keep a few more memories of him.
"Young Hero Lu, if only you didn't leave!" The bookkeeper's face was a little red. It was obvious that he had drunk too much. He stood in front of Lu An and said loudly, "Nowadays, there are not many people who are as kind as you! If you stay in Qing Bei City, everyone in the Liu Residence will have to rely on you! "
Lu An smiled but didn't say anything.
"Young Hero Lu, since you're so happy drinking today, please forgive me for saying something disrespectful!" The bookkeeper said loudly with a red face, "I know that Young Hero Lu has great ambitions and doesn't want to stay in this small Qing Bei City. But if one day, if one day, you're not doing well, or if you want to find a place to settle down, the Liu Estate will definitely open our doors to you! "
As he said that, the bookkeeper looked at Madam Liu and bowed. "Madam, what do you say?"
"Of course." As her late husband had just passed away, Madam Liu did not drink. She turned to look at Lu An and said seriously, "Young Hero Lu, you'll always be the benefactor of the Liu Estate. As long as you come back, this will always be your home."
Hearing Madam Liu's words, Lu An's heart warmed. He raised his teacup and said solemnly, "With those words from Madam Liu, I'm content!"
Madam Liu smiled and looked at Lu An after drinking with him. For the past few days, she had been thinking about how good it would be if Lu An was her own child.
After three rounds of drinking, it was late into the night. At the end of the banquet, Madam Liu returned to her room to rest. Lu An also returned to his courtyard.
Lu An was not sleepy. He kept releasing the Ninth Heaven Sacred Flame and Deep Ice in his room. He had just broken through to Level 1 Heavenly Master and wanted to familiarize himself with his new body as soon as possible.
Midnight.
"Knock, knock, knock."
Suddenly, there was a soft knock on the door. Lu An, who was in the middle of cultivation, was stunned. He turned around and looked at the door.
"Who is it?" Lu An asked.
"Brother Lu, it's me." A soft and warm voice came from outside the door.
Lu An was stunned. He was familiar with this voice. He quickly got up and walked to the door. After opening the door, he found Shuang 'er standing outside.
"Shuang 'er?" Lu An was a little puzzled. He asked, "Why are you still awake? It's cold outside. Come in!"
Shuang 'er walked into the room. Lu An closed the door and put a coat on her. Looking at Shuang 'er's pale face, he could not help but ask, "What's wrong?"
Shuang 'er looked up at Lu An. Her beautiful eyes were red. Coupled with her young and tender face, it made one feel pity for her.
"Brother Lu, are you leaving tomorrow?" Shuang 'er did not answer. She asked softly. Her voice was a little hoarse and choked. It made one's heart tremble.
"Yes." Lu An nodded and said, "Tomorrow morning, I will leave after making a trip to Shenwei Escort Agency."
"…"
Shuang 'er's eyes turned red as if there were water swirling in them.
"Can't you stay?" Shuang 'er asked.
Lu An was stunned. Then, he shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I'm afraid not. I'm going to Dacheng Sky Mountain …"
"Then what if I want you to stay?" Before she even finished speaking, Shuang 'er asked again. There was some urgency in her voice, as well as a trace of pleading.
Lu An was stunned again. He looked at Shuang 'er's expectant eyes and was speechless.
"…"
Lu An lowered his head. After a while, he took a light breath and looked up at Shuang 'er. He still shook his head.
"I still have a lot of things to do," Lu An said seriously.
"…"
The air fell into silence. The two of them just looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
Finally, Shuang 'er opened her mouth. She tightened her coat and lowered her head to ask, "Brother Lu, do you have a girl you like?"
"Like?" Lu An was stunned. He had never thought of this question and did not know how to answer for a moment.
Shuang 'er was delighted when she saw Lu An's expression. However, she asked again, "Do you have a girl you like?"
A girl I like?
Lu An frowned. That figure suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Yes," Lu An said without hesitation.
Shuang 'er was stunned. She could not help but feel sad.
"Who … is she?" Shuang 'er lowered her head and asked.
"Her." Lu An did not see Shuang 'er's sad expression. He seriously thought for a moment and said, "She is my classmate and also my roommate. When I was in school, she always took care of me. "
"…" Shuang 'er's body trembled. She gently asked, "Then where is she?"
"She left." Lu An frowned. He shook his head and said, "I don't know where she went. I may never see her again."
Shuang 'er was stunned. She looked up at Lu An. Her young face was full of doubt. She asked, "Why?"
"No reason." Lu An smiled and said, "Maybe it's like what she said. We are not people of the same world."
Shuang 'er looked at Lu An's smiling face. She clearly saw depression.
"So Brother Lu also has someone you care about." Shuang 'er gently said, "Then Brother Lu, do you care about Shuang' er?"
Lu An was stunned when he heard this. He looked at Shuang 'er and met her eyes that were shining with hope.
Lu An smiled and said, "Of course I care."
"That's good!" Shuang 'er seemed to be full of energy all of a sudden. She happily smiled and said, "I also care about Brother Lu very much!"
Looking at Shuang 'er who smiled like a blooming flower, Lu An was happy for her from the bottom of his heart.
"We will meet again, right?" Shuang 'er looked at Lu An and expectantly asked, "I won't run away like that person. I will always be here. You care about me, so you will definitely come back to see me, right?"
Looking at Shuang 'er's young and beautiful face, listening to her words full of expectation, Lu An was stunned. A trace of warmth flowed through his heart.
Then, Lu An smiled, nodded and said, "I will come back to see you."
"I knew it!" Shuang 'er smiled happily. She got up and happily said, "Brother Lu, I have a gift for you. Close your eyes!"
Lu An smiled and closed his eyes.
Following that, he smelled a heart-warming fragrance, and in the next second, his mouth touched a soft area.
