At this time, a light cyan figure had already rushed to the main hall.
Qing Tan stood at the door, panting slightly, his cheeks stained with a faint blush from running.
She was wearing a light cyan dress, and her black hair was a little messy. She obviously ran all the way after getting the message.
The fourteen-year-old girl has a tall figure and is slim. Her eyebrows have lost a bit of childishness and become a bit more girlish. Her eyes are astonishingly bright. The moment she sees Luo Heng, it seems that the colors of the whole world have gathered in that one spot.
"Luo Heng brother!"
She called out, her voice filled with uncontrollable joy, but she paused as she stepped forward, as if she realized that she was too impulsive. There were also Luo Heng's family members in the hall! A shy blush suddenly appeared on her face.
When Su Yi saw this, a knowing smile flashed in his eyes, and he said softly, "Heng'er, please talk to Qing Tan first. Your father and I will go to the kitchen to have a look and let the kitchen prepare some of your favorite food."
Luo Yun also reacted, stood up with a smile, and walked out with Luo Shan, who was still a little confused.
Luo Shan was pulled out of the door, still a little confused, and said, "Hey, I haven't finished speaking yet..."
"Dad, please don't get involved in young people's affairs." Luo Yun whispered.
Luo Shan was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing, stroked his beard, smiled, and said no more.
In the blink of an eye, only Luo Heng and Qing Tan were standing at the door.
Luo Heng Looking at the increasingly beautiful girl in front of her, a complex and soft emotion surged in her heart.
After not seeing her for about four months, she has changed a lot.
He has grown taller, his eyebrows have grown wider, he is less childish and more girlish, but when his eyes look at him, they are still as bright, pure, and unabashedly fond as before.
"Qing Tan." Luo Heng stood up and walked towards the little girl.
Qing Tan looked at him approaching, his heart beat violently, and his fingers subconsciously clenched the corners of his clothes.
She had a lot to say, she wanted to ask him if he was having a good time at Flame City, she wanted to tell him how hard she had practiced during this period, and she wanted to ask him if he... thought of her occasionally.
But when this person stood in front of me, those words were stuck in my throat and I couldn't say a word.
Luo Heng walked up to her and looked down at her. The girl's eyelashes trembled slightly, the blush on her cheeks spread to her ears, and her whole body was as nervous as a frightened deer.
He suddenly smiled and reached out to rub her hair, just like before.
"Silly girl, what are you doing standing at the door? Come in and sit down."
When Qing Tan was rubbed by him, most of the tension in her heart dissipated. She raised her head and looked at Luo Heng's smiling eyebrows, but her eyes felt inexplicably sore.
"Luo Heng brother... you are finally back." She said softly, with a hint of sobs in her voice.
"Well, little girl, I'm back." Luo Heng looked at her red eyes and felt soft.
"It's not like I haven't come back all this time. I'm coming back now, right?" Luo Heng said while stroking her hair and smiling.
"That's different." Qing Tan sniffed, muttered in a low voice, and said, "Qingyang Town wouldn't be interesting if you weren't here."
Luo Heng was stunned for a moment, then smiled, pulled her to sit down in the hall, and poured her a cup of tea.
The two began to chat. Qing Tan talked about her year of practice and excitement, her eyes sparkling. "Brother Luo Heng, I'm Early Earthen Yuan Stage now! That necklace really helped a lot. I can now control the coldness in my body and won't have sudden attacks like before."
A trace of surprise flashed in Luo Heng's eyes, and he said, "I have made rapid progress, better than I expected, and much better than when I was fourteen."
Qing Tan received the compliment, and the smile on his face became sweeter, but he still pouted and said, "No, Luo Heng brother is the strongest!"
Luo Heng Looking at the girl in front of him who has eyes full of him, the barrier in his heart caused by age completely melted away at this moment.
He thought of those Flame City nights of life and death fights, of Yue Shan's Mountain Crushing Split Yue's punch, and of Sword Intent's moment of enlightenment when he broke through.
Between life and death, what he wanted was not only to become stronger, not only to reach the pinnacle of martial arts.
He also thought about what would be his biggest regret if something unexpected happened.
It's because I couldn't spend more time with my parents.
It's because I couldn't watch Dongzi truly grow up.
Or--
I couldn't give an answer to this silly girl who was thinking only of herself.
"Qing Tan." Luo Heng suddenly spoke, his voice a little lower than usual.
Qing Tan raised his head, met his eyes, and his heart skipped a beat.
Those eyes were different from before.
In the past, Brother Luo Heng looked at her as gentle and doting, and regarded her as a little sister who needed protection.
But now, there was something in those eyes that she couldn't understand, but she was vaguely looking forward to.
"Girl, let's go for a walk in the back mountain." Luo Heng stood up and stretched out his hand to her.
Qing Tan was stunned, looking at the hand stretched out in front of her, her heartbeat almost jumped out of her throat. She bit her lip and put her hand up happily.
Luo Heng gently held her palm.
The two walked through the Luo Manor's backyard and walked along the bluestone path into the back mountain.
Luo Heng held her hand and walked slowly and steadily.
Qing Tan followed him, her heart beating wildly, but it was as sweet as honey. After many years, Luo Heng brother held her hand again, hehe...
She didn't know what brother Luo Heng was going to say, but she had a vague hunch.
That premonition made her both nervous and looking forward to it.
Walking to a hillside, the view suddenly opened up.
At the foot of the mountain is the outline of Qingyang Town, with smoke curling up from the kitchen, peaceful and peaceful.
The mountain breeze blew by, the leaves rustled, and occasionally a few birds chirped from afar.
Finally, when we reached a cliff, Luo Heng stopped.
The view here is wide and you can overlook most of Qingyang Town.
The sun sets in the west, dyeing the whole town a warm orange-red color.
Luo Heng turned around and was facing Qing Tan.
The girl stood in front of him, raising her head slightly. The sunlight fell on her beautiful face, and her clear eyes reflected his figure.
"Qing Tan." Luo Heng said softly.
"Hmm..." Qing Tan responded, his voice as thin as a gnat.
"I know what you're thinking." Luo Heng looked at her, spoke word by word, and continued, "I've always known it."
Qing Tan's face turned redder. She wanted to lower her head, but found that she couldn't look away at all.
Luo Heng's eyes seemed to have magic power, holding her firmly in place.
"But I haven't responded to you." Luo Heng paused and continued, "Do you know why?"
Qing Tan shook his head, nodded again, and whispered, "Because... because I am young..."
"Yes, and no." Luo Heng sighed, stretched out his hand to stroke her hair that was messed up by the wind, and said, "You were really young at that time, and I didn't want... you to mistake family affection for love."
Before Qing Tan could speak, Luo Heng continued, "I am destined not to stick to just one person in my life. The road to cultivation is long. I will meet many people and have many things to do. If you are with me, you may have many sisters in the future. Are you still willing to do this?"
The girl was stunned for a moment, and then a huge surprise appeared in her eyes. The surprise was so bright that it almost set her whole body on fire.
She didn't hesitate, didn't hesitate, or even think.
She nodded vigorously, her voice clear and firm, and she said:
"As long as Brother Luo Heng has me in his heart, nothing else matters!"
Luo Heng was stunned. He thought of many answers, but he didn't expect that she would be so hesitant.
There was no impurity in those clear eyes, only pure joy and determination.
Does a fourteen-year-old girl already understand what love is?
Maybe she doesn't fully understand yet.
But she knows what sincerity is.
Luo Heng looked into her eyes and suddenly smiled.
He raised his hand and gently stroked her cheek, his fingertips touching the slightly hot skin.
"Silly girl."
Qing Tan Feeling the warmth in his palm, her whole body softened by three points, but her eyes were still looking at him brightly, without blinking.
Luo Heng leaned over slightly and got closer to her.
The distance between the two of them is getting closer and closer, so close that they can feel each other's breathing.
Qing Tan's heart was beating like a pounding, but he didn't avoid it at all. Instead, he stood on tiptoes slightly and faced him.
Luo Heng's lips fell towards hers.
Give her enough time to react and enough time to avoid.
But Qing Tan didn't hide. The two kissed. She closed her eyes and responded jerkily but bravely.
I don't know how long it took before the two slowly separated.
Qing Tan's face was so red that it was almost bleeding, but her eyes were astonishingly bright, filled with joy and sweetness, and a kind of satisfaction that seemed to have given the whole world.
"Brother Luo Heng..." she called softly, her voice as soft and soft as melted sugar.
"Yes." Luo Heng responded, still holding her hand and gently stroking the back of her hand with his thumb.
"Luo Heng brother." She called again.
"Hmm."
"Brother Luo Heng, Brother Luo Heng, Brother Luo Heng..."
She called her over and over again, and the smile on her face became sweeter every time she called.
Luo Heng Looking at her appearance, he couldn't help but smile, and stretched out his hands to take her into his arms.
Qing Tan leaned on his chest, listening to the powerful heartbeat, and felt that there was nothing happier than this in the world.
She had been waiting for this day for too long.
From the first time I met Brother Luo Heng, from the first time I held his hand, from the first time I secretly fell in love with him...
She actually knows what love is and she wants to be with this person forever.
