I protect you in the name of the dragon

Chapter 20

Xu Yanqing's current appearance suddenly tugged at Xiao Ruan's usually calm heartstrings, she didn't know how to answer her question.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Xu Yanqing thought that there was room for maneuver, so he repeated it expectantly: "Please, don't go?"

Xiao Ruan stood up, rubbed her hair, struggled a few times, bit her lips and said, "I have to go...I've been stuck here for a long time, so I have to go..."

She has never abandoned this room since she bought it from Tang. She has come and gone for so many years, and she has left and returned several times, but in the end she is not willing to stay here, just because there is a good memory of her here...

Now it's time to leave again, but this time, she can't change her identity and return.Because her ageless face has attracted the attention of many people, even the country's attention to her. In today's advanced Internet era, she can no longer be here again. It is easy to change her identity, but her appearance cannot be changed... .Once any suspicion is aroused, it will be an explosive news, and the exposure of her identity will definitely attract the attention of the dragon hunters...the society will also fall into panic and turmoil....

In addition to leaving, she has to disappear for a period of time, which may be decades or hundreds of years, so for Xu Yanqing, if she leaves, she will definitely not see her again, otherwise her appearance It only scares normal people.....

Just like Huai Su back then, since she chose to leave, she didn’t plan to meet again, so much pain can only be swallowed silently alone... So when it comes to emotions, she never procrastinates, and even she is a little repulsed to make friends , but Xu Yanqing was an exception...

"This is your home, you have your life and career, why do you say Lai is here...why are you leaving?" Xu Yanqing finally asked the question he wanted to ask the most.

Xiao Ruan sighed: "It's nothing, it's just for survival, you don't need to know the reason."

Xu Yanqing's eyes moved slightly, with sadness in his eyes: "Will you be in trouble if you don't leave?"

"Yes."

Facing Xiao Ruan's straightforward answer, Xu Yanqing was sad for a long time before replying: "If this is the case, I won't keep you, then you will come back."

"Maybe, if I can't put it down, I will definitely come back." Xiao Ruan took a deep breath, smiled and handed her a cardboard box: "Come on, help me, try to organize the books today, or I will miss it." Without you, I'm afraid it would be too boring and tiring to tidy up alone."

Xu Yanqing nodded and continued.

"When are you going to leave?"

"Wait until the Chinese Department's ancient Chinese course is over, probably in October."

"So fast!" Xu Yanqing said that he couldn't accept it: "By the way, there is also our financial class. The teacher can't favor the Chinese department and take us away, okay?"

"Okay." Xiao Ruan did not hesitate for a moment, and simply agreed: "At the end of the year, you will leave at the end of December."

"Okay!" Xu Yanqing felt a little bit of comfort in his heart, and slowly relaxed his eyebrows, thanking him from the bottom of his heart.Since he couldn't keep it, it would be good to stay a little longer... Xu Yanqing looked at the tall and thin woman, and sighed silently, feeling that the world in front of him was a bit strange, and he seemed to never be able to blend in... ..

The bamboo slips alone contained five large boxes, and it was not easy to pack them. Each of them had to be carefully wrapped with a protective layer, and then gently put into the box.

So far, only one-third of the bamboo slips have been installed.

The rest of Xiao Ruan said they were going to donate, so they ignored them.

Then there are the books.The procedure is the same, it is also wrapped with a protective layer outside, and then put into the box.

Generally, Xiao Ruan did the strenuous work of moving books on the ladder, and Xu Yanqing was mainly responsible for sitting and packing the boxes.

Just like this, Xu Yanqing said that he was too tired.

"Are you tired? Go and rest, I'll take care of the rest." Xiao Ruan came over from behind her holding a large pile of books, put them down, and brushed her hair that was hanging on her forehead. Said to her: "There are not many left, I can just come, over there is my desk, there are some very interesting books on it, you go and have a look to pass the time."

Hearing the interesting book, Xu Yanqing became a little curious, not the book itself, but what kind of books this woman usually reads, and what books are interesting in her eyes.But after thinking for a few seconds, she shook her head and refused: "No, I will help to the end, and send the Buddha to the West."

"Hehe, kid." Xiao Ruan saw that she was talking to her in the same tone as she was talking to her, and it was a little funny: "Go, I have enough for myself."

In the end Xu Yanqing couldn't beat Xiao Ruan, so she followed Xiao Ruan's guidance and saw the desk.

The desk is still very old-fashioned. There is a pot of green plants on it, an antique lamp that can only be seen on TV, and a complete set of pens, inks, papers and inkstones. A dozen brushes of various thicknesses are neatly hung on the pen holder. It's just a wooden bookshelf with a few books on it.

Xu Yanqing approached, and when he was about to pick up the book, he found that there was a piece of rice paper rolled up on the neat table. Through the paper, he could see the thick lines drawn by the tip of the pen inside, which seemed to be a painting, so he was curious. Driven by his heart, Xu Yanqing slowly unfolded...

This is!

me?

This painting is not someone else, but herself!

The clothes she was wearing in the painting were exactly what she wore when she met Xiao Ruan for the first time. Under Xiao Ruan's pen, she who was very irritable on the first day showed an extremely gentle and calm appearance, like a well-educated Everyone is a lady, lifelike, very lifelike.

However, this painting is less than half-colored, and it is considered an unfinished work.On the far right, there are eight small characters, but no matter how she looks at it, she can't see why.

"You!" Xiao Ruan ran over as soon as he thought of the painting, but when he saw Xu Yan stretching out the scroll in a daze, he knew it was too late.

"Me? Your painting is me." Xu Yanqing was not too excited, but just said something with a soft smile.

Xiao Ruan nodded, seeing that she didn't understand the words next to it, she felt at ease.

"What's written here? Are you praising me?" Xu Yanqing's clear eyes stared at Xiao Ruan, full of curiosity and expectation.

Xiao Ruan Dan said: "Practice drawing of figures."

"Liar! Even if I'm stupid, I still know that there are eight characters here."

"Really, the remaining three characters are your name."

"Really?" Xu Yanqing was a little dubious at first, but she believed in the person in front of her, so she didn't hesitate and counted down each word with her fingers. When she counted to the last three words, she paid more attention. : "Is that my name?"

"Yes."

"This is such a word, so strange."

"Seal script."

Xu Yanqing smirked: "It's so strange, I want to learn it."

Xiao Ruan hurried over, took the painting anxiously, and said with some embarrassment: "Don't learn, I don't know much about seal script, I'm afraid I made a mistake and misled you in the end."

"You are in a hurry." Xu Yanqing was a little puzzled when he saw Xiao Ruan hastily rolled up the painting, and then left in a hurry.She turned her head sideways, writing something with the fingers of her right hand on the palm of her left hand, and said to herself, "Humph, I remember!"

After Xiao Ruan took the painting, she breathed a deep sigh of relief. Looking at Xu Yanqing on the painting, her thoughts were racing for a while.

To be honest, she didn't know why she wanted to draw this picture, but she kept thinking of her consciously or unconsciously last night, and she started to draw this picture without knowing it, but she didn't have time to finish it.

Xiao Ruan rolled up the painting carefully, opened a painting tube and put it in gently.

"Teacher, can I use your brush and paper?"

Xiao Ruan came to her senses when she heard Xu Yan calling her, and replied lightly: "Yes."

"OK, thanks!"

Hearing her question, Xiao Ruan thought she could write calligraphy, so after sorting out the last batch of books, she walked over to appreciate them, but...

"Are you writing or... drawing..." Xiao Ruan looked at the rice paper in front of her, picked up one at random, and frowned slightly, because she really couldn't figure out what it was?Abstract painting?

"Don't look at that one, you can't read the early works anyway, how about looking at my mature work." Xu Yanqing held up a piece of rice paper in front of her like a treasure.

Xiao Ruan frowned even deeper: "Is this the seal script from just now?" Although the writing was still a little ugly, she could still see some traces of the seal script.

"Yeah, I just learned it."

"You have a good memory..."

"Yes, I also think I have a good memory." Xu Yanqing chuckled, pointed to the last three characters and said, "Look, is this my name in seal script? How are you doing?"

"Great study!"

"Really? Not telling lies?"

Xiao Ruan didn't change his face: "Of course, it's just that there are fewer strokes, such as here." Xiao Ruan picked up the brush and added a few strokes for her: "There is less horizontal here, and there is less tick over there. By the way, you also remember the order. Wrong, this word should be interspersed in this place..."

"I don't study much, don't lie to me, did I really write my name wrong?" Xu Yanqing looked at her with wide eyes.

Xiao Ruan nodded: "Naturally." Xiao Ruan picked up the ink on the table, ground it finely, gently took down a brush, dipped it in the ink lightly, and wrote three seal characters on a piece of clean rice paper: "This is your name."

"Really?" Xu Yanqing was a little suspicious: "Then what was painted just now?"

"It's also your name, but it's not written in the regular seal script that was respected at that time. It can be regarded as the predecessor of seal script. Just like now, there are traditional characters and simplified characters." Looking at Xu Yanqing's half-knowledge, Xiao Ruanqing He coughed twice to hide the embarrassment on his face.To tell the truth, she never lied, so now when she tells lies, she is very twisted.

"I seem to understand." Holding the brush, Xu Yanqing imitated her handwriting, and then compared what he wrote with Xiao Ruan's. It's like heaven and earth.Looking at Xiao Ruan, she smiled shyly: "My writing is too ugly..."

"I'll teach you." Xiao Ruan held the brush and showed her: "This is the correct posture for holding the brush, try it."

"Okay, let's see how it goes."

Xiao Ruan nodded, then directly held Xu Yanqing's hand, and led her to write the correct characters on the rice paper.

Xu Yanqing's cheeks were slightly red, because the two were very close, at this moment she could feel Xiao Ruan's gentle breathing and the ups and downs of her chest...
