Nangong Xue was both angry and amused. She said, "How come you don't even know how to fight a water fight? I grew up in Mount Hua. Even though the sect rules were strict, as long as you finished your daily homework, you could do whatever you wanted with the rest of your time. Therefore, whenever my martial brother and I were free, we would go to the big waterfall by the side of the mountain and have a water fight … "
An Yesun said, "That was your childhood. Since I was young, other than practicing martial arts, I would complete the tasks assigned by the Hierarch, steal some treasure, or kill everyone who offended the Sacrificial Shadow Sect. I didn't have any free time at all. In my eyes, what you're saying is just nonsense. I didn't play much, and I didn't like to play. Those were all childish games. "
Nangong Xue said, "If you don't know how to play, it's very boring. I think it's not that you don't like it, it's just that you've never played it before. Let me teach you. A water fight is when we use water as weapons and splash water on each other until one of us begs for mercy. That's the end of the fight. Or whoever's clothes get wet more thoroughly loses. There aren't any hard and fast rules. You can play tricks and plot from behind. As long as you can achieve your goal, that's all. " She hadn't fought a water fight with anyone for more than ten years, so she couldn't help but feel excited and eager to give it a try.
An Yesun still had a cold expression on his face. He said, "That's it in the end? What's the point? "Nangong Xue laughed bitterly." Point … it's just a game for kids. What's the point? If I have to say something, maybe it'll make me happier. "
An Yesun said, "I don't feel happy." When the first handful of water was splashed on his face, his first reaction was anger. He had never been humiliated like this before. When he interacted with people, he was always indifferent and dealt with them with a few words. Even if he was closer to people like Xuan Shuang and Cheng Jiahua, he still hoped that there would be some differences in their equality so that they would completely obey him when it mattered. Because of this, he couldn't stand Nangong Xue's constant 'disobedience'. He said coldly, "Do you really want to try?" His palm was already filled with a ball of pure energy, and he was about to strike the lake next to her.
Nangong Xue could see the power behind his palm. Once it was released, she would become a drowned rat. She quickly waved her hands and smiled apologetically. "Forget it, forget it... if you don't want to play, then let's not play... Why don't we have a competition? Whoever catches more fish wins. What do you think? "Dark Night Yun said," If you already know who's going to win, why waste time? "Nangong Xue smiled apologetically," You win, you win. "
Dark Night Yun said coldly, "No, I'll play with you. . "Didn't you say that you can play tricks?" He released his palm and a huge wave rose from the lake.
Nangong Xue hastily dodged to the side, but this small retreat was of no use. The huge wave came crashing down on her head. Immediately, she was submerged by the overwhelming water. All she could see was white waves.
After what felt like a year had passed, large droplets of water began to slide down her face. Her hair, which had been tied up, was all messy and wet, sticking to her face. The sharp ends of her hair pricked her eyelids. She felt a burst of sadness and wished that she could pull out all these irritating messy hair. Her cotton clothes absorbed the water and made her body extremely heavy. The clothes wrapped around her body made her feel cold.
An Yesun looked on coldly. When the waves dissipated, her sorry figure appeared in front of him. He found it amusing and finally a faint smile appeared on his face.
It wasn't until the crescent moon hung in the sky that the disturbance subsided. When Nangong Xue came ashore, her face was pale and she sneezed a few times. Perhaps An Yesun felt guilty, so he took off his coat and put it on her. Although he folded the coat and threw it at her like a pile of rags, it was not easy for him to take the initiative to show some kindness. Nangong Xue was touched. She arranged the firewood neatly and placed the tip of the branch on top of the log. She smiled and said, "In your opinion, who should start the fire?"
An Yesun said, "A gentleman has the beauty to help others. Since you've already set the pose and are just waiting to start the fire, how can I spoil your mood? "Nangong Xue laughed angrily." You? A gentleman? You're considered — —? I set the pose to show you. "An Yesun said," Is that so? There's no difference. Changing hands again will just be a waste of time. Just do it reluctantly. I believe in your ability. "
Nangong Xue laughed. "The problem is, I don't believe in you. It's better for you to do it. Hmph, you didn't keep your promise this afternoon and called me a hypocritical disciple of the righteous sect. You may have forgotten that, but I haven't. So I should punish you! "An Yesun said coldly," You dare to punish me? " Nangong Xue laughed bitterly. "Why can't you convince me with your principles? You're always scaring me with your evil face. It's really unreasonable."
An Yesun said, "I'm not interested in your righteous sect's principles. In my eyes, the only thing that matters is the fist. " Nangong Xue said, "You're breaking the precepts again. What do you mean by 'righteous sect'? I told you not to say it." An Yesun knew he was in the wrong and stopped arguing.
Nangong Xue held the branch between her palms and turned it over and over again. After a long time, only a few sparks appeared. An Yesun was annoyed and complained, "So stupid!" Like catching fish, he held the top of the branch and turned it over and over, turning it over and over. Unexpectedly, he didn't get any attention this time. When he touched the branch, the front part broke and sank. Even the sparks were extinguished.
An Yesun couldn't keep his face straight. He laughed bitterly and said, "This … my mistake, my mistake." He stood up and hid to the side. Nangong Xue laughed. "Alright, I won't make things difficult for you. Before roasting the fish, you still have to scrape the scales and remove the internal organs. You're an expert in these matters, so I'll leave it to you. "An Yesun said," Why am I an expert? I don't want to. " Nangong Xue laughed. "Alright, Mister Yun, King Yun, you should rest well. I don't dare to trouble you anymore."
Therefore, Nangong Xue took care of everything. After a long time, she finally managed to make a decent bonfire. She also took some soaked clothes and used a few pieces of wood to make a rack. She hoped that it would dry quickly. She used the branch to skewer the fish and moved it back and forth near the fire. Occasionally, she would let the flames lick the fish. She was inexperienced, so she accidentally burned a few blisters on her hands. After a long time, she only managed to make a few finished products. She handed one to An Yesun. An Yesun silently took it and said indifferently, "I don't care."
Nangong Xue finished roasting the second skewer in no time. She took a small bite and said happily, "Hmm, it's delicious. Looks like my cooking isn't bad!" She ate it with relish. An Yesun laughed lightly. "Have you heard of Wang Po selling melons?" Nangong Xue was slightly startled. "What? Ah … you're laughing at me for praising myself? "
An Yesun said, "Good. You know your own limits. You're worth teaching." He only took a few bites of this skewer before throwing it to the side. He rested his arms on his knees and looked into the distance with a deep gaze. Nangong Xue felt a little defeated, but she knew that this was his personality, so she wasn't particularly disheartened. Soon, the ground was littered with tree sticks. She felt a little ashamed of how she ate just now. Fortunately, he didn't seem to be looking at her. After a moment of silence, she followed his example. She wrapped her arms around her knees and looked up at the sky. "Do you like the color blue?" she asked softly.
An Yesun took a while to react. "Who said that? Why do you ask? "
Nangong Xue said, "I remember that you used to like wearing a blue brocade robe the most, right? That really suits you. I like the color blue too. No matter if it's light blue or dark blue, I have a special attachment to it. Just like the azure sky, it gives people the freedom to soar in the sky. It opens up their hearts and makes them feel as if they're dancing with the clouds. The deep blue of the night was also thought-provoking. It was vast, boundless, and as serene as the ocean. You would feel that it represented a kind of broad mind, and in front of it, a person was very small. Look at the night sky more often and you'll realize that the mundane matters that everyone fights over are actually the most insignificant of interests. "
Dark Night Yun let out a couple of wry laughs before looking up at the sky along with her. "Your imagination is truly rich. I'm sorry to disappoint you. It's not because … I like the color blue. It's just that in the past, I didn't have any other clothes. But after wearing it for a long time, I've gotten used to it. I don't dislike the color anymore. "
Nangong Xue said, "What do you think of the satin material that I took a fancy to today? If we all wear this blue undershirt and walk around the town, what will the residents think if they see us? I'm afraid we'll be criticized. "An Yesun said," What do you think? "Nangong Xue was speechless by his words. Only then did she realize that this question could easily lead to misunderstandings. She laughed dryly.
An Yesun suddenly said, "That's right. Today at the textile shop, I was the one who thought about it and hated it. It had nothing to do with you. I shouldn't have gotten angry at you. I'm sorry." Nangong Xue rested her chin on her hand and laughed. "That's really interesting. Did I hear you correctly? I'm going to see the direction of the rising sun tomorrow. You're actually apologizing to me? "An Yesun was startled." Are you that surprised? "
Nangong Xue laughed and said, "Of course it's nothing to others. But they say that the rarer something is, the more precious it is. With your unruly nature, you're willing to put down your pride and apologize to me. Don't tell me I shouldn't be honored? Even though I don't know what I said wrong, but if you're unhappy, you can find someone to vent your anger on. That's not a bad idea. Why would I blame you? At that time, I was just afraid that you'd ignore me. " An Yesun said, "I said I'd send you back to Mount Hua. Even if it wasn't for my plan, I won't go back on my words."
Nangong Xue's heart was filled with gratitude. She saw the bonfire in front of her exploding with sparks. It was a beautiful sight, not much inferior to the stars in the sky. The autumn wind was refreshing. The bright moon hung high in the sky, sprinkling a thin layer of clear light. Even though it was still nighttime, compared to a few days ago when they had to go through fire and water, their situation was completely different. Her heart was filled with tenderness. "Mister Yun," she said, "can I tell you about my martial brother and me?"
