In the years of famine, I was well versed in history and pampered the Northern Army

Chapter 127 Starry Sky

When he first came up with this guess, he was so shocked that he couldn't recover at all. However, when he thought about what Xu Qingyin had just explained, every word seemed to correspond to the dream he had just had.

The more I think about it, the more scared I feel. I don’t know how to deal with it.

Normally he was terrified and carefully hid his thoughts, never wanting to let the witch know.

He knew that he was just a mortal. Although the witch also emphasized that she was a mortal, he knew very well that he was not worthy of him.

I didn't expect that I could let the witch know my feelings in this way. If the witch doesn't accept it, how will the two of them get along in the future?

He didn't dare to think about it any further. If this witch turned against him, or even ignored him, he couldn't even imagine how he would cope with his future life...

Thinking of this, the fear she caused was completely beyond his imagination. Only then did he realize that the position of the witch in his heart was much more important than he had imagined.

Xu Qingyin seemed to realize that what she said was inappropriate, but she had already said it. There was no regret medicine in the world, so she could only close her eyes as if she had given up.

But Lu Yan knew that if this matter was not explained clearly, it would become a permanent thorn between the two of them. Since he had already heard it, he might as well ask directly.

So Lu Yan mustered up his courage and looked at Xu Qingyin:

"Miko, I...you...did you hear what I said..."

In fact, he himself said in his dream that he was not worthy of liking Xu Qingyin so directly, but he was not sure if you heard it, but he knew that the witch had heard some of it.

Lu Yan finally asked. Xu Qingyin turned her head to look at him. There were still wounds on her face from protecting herself, and her sword-like eyebrows that were once so tough also had scratches.

His eyes, which usually seemed invincible, were now filled with timidity and caution.

"Yes...but...but don't worry, I didn't hear anything I shouldn't have. I just heard you say you were grateful to me, but I want to tell you that I'm not that worthy of gratitude, so don't put so much pressure on yourself."

When Xu Qingyin gets anxious, she speaks very fast. She pours out all these things in one breath, hoping that the matter can be properly resolved. She doesn't know how to deal with it now and just wants to escape.

However, Lu Yan had already received the news he least wanted from her evasive eyes. Since things had come to this point, there was no point in him continuing to evade. He might as well just ask all the questions in one go today.

"Miko... you... did you hear something else, or did you understand..."

Xu Qingyin turned her head away and didn't look at him:

"No, I didn't hear anything else, really..."

"Witch, do you already know what Lu Yan is thinking?"

After saying this, the valley, which had been noisy and even loud just now, suddenly became quiet, and they could hear each other's voices.

The air seemed to freeze, and no one spoke for a minute.

Xu Qingyin sighed.

"Yes."

Lu Yan looked at Xu Qingyin's back, which was thin but so beautiful. Today, she gave people a feeling of loneliness and desolation, which made him want to protect Xu Qingyin involuntarily.

"But I feel like I might have heard it wrong, maybe..."

Even though it had already come to this, Xu Qingyin still wanted to continue quibbling. In fact, she herself didn't know what she was thinking in her heart, but faced with this situation, she really didn't know how to deal with it.

But Lu Yan interrupted hurriedly:

"No... No... You heard it right."

After saying this, Xu Qingyin was completely speechless.

"I know... I really shouldn't have... had inappropriate thoughts about the miko. I had originally intended to keep it deep in my heart, but now it's out there again. I really don't want to do that. I don't want to put any more pressure on you, miko.

"This is all Lu Yan's fault. I hope you won't..."

He spoke in a halting but hurried manner, as if he was expecting Xu Qingyin's answer, but also seemed to be afraid of Xu Qingyin's answer, so he spoke so quickly and didn't give her any time to reply.

"I...I don't blame you. I just...you know, I've never had much contact with the opposite sex since I was a child. I don't know how to respond to what you said."

Lu Yan closed his eyes.

The witch was indeed very soft-hearted and did not reject him so directly, but his heart still felt like it was being cut by a knife.

What was going on? I was too greedy. I had thoughts I shouldn't have, yet I still dreamed of a response from the miko.

During the time they had been together, he had always been the one demanding all kinds of values ​​from the witch, and it seemed that he had never provided any help to her.

What reason does he have to make the witch like him?

He is just a...

"I know, I know..."

Lu Yan murmured.

After saying this, he even forced a smile and quickly said to Xu Qingyin:

"As long as the witch doesn't distance herself from me because of this matter, Lu Yan will definitely control his own thoughts and will definitely not affect your life..."

"Without your help today, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to save my life. I have to say that the supplies the miko obtained are really very useful."

Although he forced a smile, Xu Qingyin could still feel his sadness when she turned her head away.

Xu Qingyin didn't know what to say. In fact, she didn't want to make Lu Yan sad at all. Things had come to this point. In fact, he himself couldn't figure out his own thoughts. She herself clearly didn't want to make Lu Yan unhappy...

but……

Xu Qingyin sighed.

That night, they both stayed here, feeling sadder than ever before.

Unexpectedly, the stars outside the valley were still so bright. When Xu Qingyin saw this valley, he suddenly remembered that a long time ago, he went hiking with his grandfather and uncle. At that time, the stars on the mountain were also so bright.

She practiced until he would never forget it, practiced until he had never seen it again. She never expected to be able to see the same starry sky today, which made her sigh.

Come to think of it, they both had slept for two days and two nights, and it was already evening when they woke up, so they must not have been very sleepy that night.

Xu Qingyin saw that Lu Yan didn't feel like sleeping and knew that he was in a bad mood, so she chatted with him about family matters:

“I thought about when I was little, my grandfather and my uncle would climb mountains together and we would see the same starry sky.

"But they all passed away later, and I never saw a starry sky like this again."
