Emperor Qiankun

Chapter 287: Just Friendship, a Farewell, My Sweetheart Comes into My Dream

The night is as dark as ink, and the sea breeze blows in with a hint of coolness.

Li Qingyuan raised his eyes to the sky and said softly:

"The wind is blowing, let's go back."

Yue Qinghuan wrapped her clothes tightly around her body, shook her head, and said in a low voice:

"You go back first, I want to be alone for a while."

"it is good."

Li Qingyuan paused, took off his outer robe, and gently draped it over Yue Qinghuan's shoulders.

"It's windy at night, put on some clothes to avoid catching a cold."

"Need not......"

Yue Qinghuan subconsciously wanted to refuse.

"Be good and put it on."

Li Qingyuan's tone was firm, yet gentle.

A complex emotion surged in Yue Qinghuan's heart, and she blurted out:

"Why are you so nice to me?"

"Aren't we friends?"

Li Qingyuan smiled faintly, "This is how it should be between friends."

After saying that, he turned and walked into the cabin, leaving Yue Qinghuan standing alone on the deck.

"...Just friends?"

Yue Qinghuan murmured to herself, and a crystal tear slid down her cheek and fell on the cold deck silently.

------

"Alas, Xiao Qinghuan, why are you doing this?"

A deep male voice suddenly sounded.

Zhu Kui walked out from the shadows with a look of concern typical of an elder on his face.

"Uncle Kui, why are you..."

Yue Qinghuan hurriedly wiped away her tears, shocked and angry, "You eavesdropped!"

"Ha ha......"

Zhu Kui smiled brightly.

"I am the captain of this Silver Feather Flying Boat, so I naturally have to keep an eye on what happens inside."

He walked to Yue Qinghuan's side, his tone suddenly becoming serious:

"What are you crying for?!"

"I heard about you from my sister. That boy, is he your lover?"

"What lover?"

Yue Qinghuan's cheeks flushed slightly, and she quickly defended herself, "We are just friends..."

"Ah."

Zhu Kui raised his eyebrows.

"But from what I heard just now, it's not as simple as just being friends."

"From what he said, it seems that the boy has someone else in his heart."

"He dares to play both sides? I must teach him a lesson for you!"

"Who dares to bully my little Qing Huan?!"

As he said this, Zhu Kui made a move to rush into the cabin.

......

Yue Qinghuan hurriedly grabbed Zhu Kui's arm and said, "Uncle Kui, please don't..."

“Look, look!”

Zhu Kui shook his head helplessly.

"Nothing has happened yet, and you're already protecting it."

"I really can't figure out what's so good about that kid."

"In terms of appearance, she's just average; in terms of strength, she's not worth mentioning either."

"Not to mention my sister, even I feel it's not worth it for you."

"If your father knew about this, he would definitely not agree!"

"What's more, that boy already has a new love, so you should just break up with him."

"Bringing him to Zhongzhou is the most righteous thing we can do."

"If he dares to harass you again in the future, tell me and I will break his legs."

Zhu Kui said half jokingly and half seriously.

Seeing Yue Qinghuan's silence, Zhu Kui spoke again:

"Although many men have three wives and four concubines, don't even think about being his mistress."

"If you really do that, your father will kill him!"

------

"Okay, okay, Uncle Kui, I get it... I know what's going on."

Yue Qinghuan pretended to be relaxed and said, "Uncle Kui, you should go back and rest first."

"Forget it. I don't understand you young people."

Zhu Kui sighed, and then warned,

"Don't stay here too long, go back early."

After saying that, he walked away, and his figure gradually disappeared at the end of the cabin.

Silence returned to the deck.

The night wind howled, ruffling Yue Qinghuan's hair, but it couldn't blow away the sour pain in her heart.

Waves of coldness came over her, and Yue Qinghuan subconsciously wrapped herself tightly in the robe left by Li Qingyuan.

The scent of him still lingered on her collar, causing ripples in her heart.

After an unknown amount of time, Yue Qinghuan suddenly chuckled.

She raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and her eyes lit up again.

A bold idea emerged in her mind:

So what if she was a mistress? So what if they eloped? As long as he had her in his heart...

At worst, I can find an opportunity to make the matter a fait accompli!

As long as they love each other...she is willing to do anything!

Thinking of this, Yue Qinghuan's cheeks flushed. She tiptoed and walked briskly into the cabin, feeling a little bit of anticipation in her heart.

......

On the seventh floor, in Li Qingyuan’s room.

After returning to the room, he stood quietly in front of the window for a long time.

The moonlight filtered through the window lattice, casting mottled shadows on his handsome face.

He frowned slightly, thinking back to the scenes on the deck, feeling mixed emotions.

"Is this...the right thing to do?"

He asked himself quietly, his fingers unconsciously stroking the window frame.

Finally, he sighed softly: "Alas, I just hope to be true to my conscience!"

As for everything Yue Qinghuan had done, including her help to him, she could only repay him slowly in the future...

This thought flashed through his mind, and Li Qingyuan stopped worrying about it.

He raised his hand and waved it, and several black crystals flew out from the space ring and landed precisely in the four corners of the room.

As he tapped his fingertips, a light blue light curtain slowly rose up, covering the entire room.

In the blink of an eye, an airtight soundproof formation was set up.

After setting up the formation, Li Qingyuan took out a memory crystal from the space ring.

The crystal is soft to the touch, and has a strange luster on its surface.

He gently placed the crystal on the table. Mysterious energy surged, and the crystal instantly shone brightly.

A three-dimensional image was projected from the crystal and hovered above the house.

......

In the picture, Su Yaoyue is wearing a green dress and sitting side by side with him on the roof, watching the sunrise together.

In fact, it was she who was watching the sunrise, and he who was watching her.

Although several months have passed, it feels like yesterday when I revisit it.

Every detail is as clear as new:

The twinkling stars in her eyes, the curve of her lips, even the strands of hair blown by the wind were all clearly visible...

A bright smile unconsciously appeared on Li Qingyuan's lips, and he didn't even realize it.

"We'll reach Zhongzhou in another month..."

Li Qingyuan muttered to himself as he looked at the picture, a complex look of expectation and hesitation appearing in his eyes.

He longed to see the person he had been thinking about day and night, but he didn't want to disturb her.

"She should be in seclusion... I don't know how far she's come now... I hope everything is going well!"

All kinds of thoughts linger in my mind.

Sleepiness gradually came over him, and Li Qingyuan lay down with his clothes on, but he was still reluctant to put away the memory crystal.

Su Yaoyue in the picture seemed to come alive, dancing gracefully in his hazy dream.

She was wearing a long green dress, with a graceful figure and an ethereal air.

Suddenly, she turned around and smiled!

That smile was brighter than the morning glow, causing Li Qingyuan's heart to beat faster even in her sleep...

Outside the window, the moonlight is like water;

Inside the house, the sweetheart falls asleep!
