Li Ran looked at Yi Qinglan curiously.
He was just asking casually. Wasn’t this reaction too great?
Facing his puzzled gaze, Yi Qinglan blushed and asked awkwardly, “Why did you suddenly ask about that bed?”
Li Ran shrugged. “It’s just a question. Did Daoist Yi bring it?”
Yi Qinglan said nervously, “How could this poor Daoist bring it with her? She had already thrown it away.”
“Throw it away?” Li Ran shook his head in pity.
Yi Qinglan glanced at him, “It’s just a bed. Why do you care?”
“That’s not true. There’s only one bed here. We can’t sleep together, right?” Li Ran scratched his head. He had thought of this question just now.
If that bed was also there, the two of them could have one each. Now…
Yi Qinglan was stunned for a moment before she panicked. “Who, who wants to sleep with you? You little thief!”
Li Ran didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “You misunderstood. That’s not what I meant…”
With great difficulty, she calmed down and said, “Go and rest, Sheng Zi Li. To this poor Daoist, sleeping is meaningless.”
“Is that so…” Li Ran nodded. “I remember that Daoist Yi did say that she never sleeps in bed.”
“Yes, that’s right.” Yi Qinglan’s face behind the veil was flushed red. Her eyes were a little shy and there was a hint of shame.
Never slept in bed?
That was before…
—
The golden sedan became quiet.
Li Ran leaned on his chin and looked at her curiously.
Yi Qinglan frowned. “Why are you staring at this poor Daoist like that?”
Li Ran smiled and said, “Daoist Yi seems to have never taken off her veil.”
In his memory, she was wearing a veil at all times, except for the tea house.
Even when she was with Lin Langyue was no exception.
Yi Qinglan said indifferently, “This poor Daoist likes it.”
“What a pity.” Li Ran sighed.
She smiled and said, “It’s not like I’m wearing it for you. What’s so bad about it?”
Li Ran shook his head. “I feel sorry for Daoist Yi. She’s clearly so pretty, but her face has always been blocked by the veil. Isn’t that a waste of natural resources?”
Yi Qinglan said indignantly, “You little thief, you’re talking nonsense again!”
However, Li Ran was very serious. “I’m telling the truth.”
Looking at his calm expression, Yi Qinglan’s cheeks turned redder.
After a moment of silence, she said,” Red powder skeletons, white bones, skin and flesh. Although this is Buddhist Zen language, it has its own reasons.”
“No matter how this face looks, this poor Daoist is still this poor Daoist. What difference does it make if I block it?
“And…”
She hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, “This poor Daoist doesn’t like other people’s eyes.”
Li Ran understood what she meant.
Yi Qinglan’s mind-numbing cultivation was like a distant river of stars. She had a world-shaking aura.
In comparison, her looks were too cute.
Her cheeks were fair and delicate, her nose was delicate and straight, and her cherry lips were small and rosy… It really didn’t match her temperament.
Li Ran scratched his head. He could understand.
“You don’t have to wear it all the time, do you?”
Yi Qinglan was both angry and amused. “I don’t know what to say.”
Li Ran stroked his chin and said with a smile, “Daoist Yi, can we discuss something?”
Yi Qinglan snorted coldly. “There’s no need for discussion. This poor Daoist won’t remove it!”
Li Ran’s thoughts were seen through and he rubbed his nose awkwardly. “Anyway, there are no outsiders here…”
“You’re not human?””
“…I’m one of your own.”
“Who’s on your side?””
—
In the first round of confrontation, Li Ran was defeated.
He originally wanted to use the Red Line to force her to submit, but after thinking about it, he did not do so.
Looking at his dejected expression, Yi Qinglan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Are you that interested in this poor Daoist’s veil?”
Li Ran replied, “It’s mainly unfair.”
“Ah?” Yi Qinglan was taken aback. “This poor Daoist is blocking her own face. Why isn’t it fair?”
Li Ran said, “Daoist Yi can admire my handsome face, but I can’t. Do you think it’s fair?”
Yi Qinglan covered her face.
This person’s skin was ridiculously thick.
Looking at his indignant expression, Yi Qinglan felt a little weird. She asked, “Do you really want to see it that much?”
After saying that, she regretted it.
His tone sounded like he was about to take it off.
Li Ran’s eyes lit up and he nodded. “Of course!””
“……” Yi Qinglan hesitated.
In the end, she sighed helplessly. “Forget it, it’s not a secret anyway, and he’s seen This poor Daoist before.”
She stretched out her hand and slowly removed her veil.
In an instant, it was as if the entire palanquin had lit up.
Perhaps because of her shyness, her snow-white cheeks were flushed, her eyes lowered, her eyelashes fluttered, her lips were like cherries, and her teeth were like white jade.
Even though he was expressionless, he felt like he was acting like a spoiled child.
At this moment, under his gaze, she seemed to be at a loss. She bit her lips gently and dodged in panic.
Her shy appearance was completely different from the one wearing the veil.
Li Ran held his beating heart and stared at her blankly.
This nun was so cute that it should be considered a foul.
He finally came back to his senses with great difficulty. His throat moved.” Daoist Yi, you should wear a veil outside.”
“Ah?” Yi Qinglan was taken aback. “Why?””
Li Ran said in a serious tone,” I’m worried that some bad guys will come after you.”
“Nonsense…” Yi Qinglan blushed and rolled her eyes at him. “Is there anyone in this world worse than you?”
The look of anger and resentment made his heart beat faster.
Li Ran stood up silently and opened the window to let the cold wind enter.
Yi Qinglan asked curiously, “What are you doing?”
Li Ran didn’t even look back. “I need to calm down. Otherwise, I won’t be able to sleep tonight.”
Qin Ruyan had already stimulated him. Now that he was provoked by Yi Qinglan, he felt a little hot-blooded.
Yi Qinglan turned her head and snorted.
“What is this guy thinking?”
However, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, as if she was still a little complacent.
She had always been at a “disadvantage” in front of Li Ran. Today, she had finally recovered 10%.
—
Only at midnight did Li Ran fall asleep.
Yi Qinglan sat by the window, looking at the moonlit night sky. Her ears were filled with even breathing, and her heart felt very calm.
“Just like that, seems to be quite good?” The night wind gently brushed her long hair, her state of mind more peaceful than ever.
A strange thought suddenly appeared in her mind. “If only Li Ran was my disciple.”
This way, she could often see him…
Yi Qinglan recovered from her shock and shook her head forcefully. “Why do I want to see him? He was about to infuriate me to death!
“Besides, how can the Tianshu Institute recruit a male disciple?
“This poor Daoist must have gone crazy.”
Yi Qinglan took a deep breath and sat cross-legged, intending to use meditation to dispel distracting thoughts.
However, no matter what, she could not enter the meditative state.
At this moment, she thought of something and looked at the large bed beside her.
Li Ran was lying in the innermost area, and there was a large space outside, as if it was for her.
Yi Qinglan hesitated for a while before standing up and slowly walking to the bedside.
“This poor Daoist is going to meditate right here. There shouldn’t be any problems, right?”
She hesitated for a long time before carefully sitting down cross-legged, afraid of alerting Li Ran.
Her expression was nervous, and her face turned red as if she had a fever.
Strangely enough, sitting on this bed, she almost instantly settled down.
Her Dao heart circulated without any hesitation.
“How strange. Could it be that this guy has some kind of magic power?”
Just as Yi Qinglan was puzzled, her body suddenly froze.
She opened her eyes and slowly looked down.
At some point in time, Li Ran turned over and rested his head on her lap. His hands were wrapped around her waist as he slept soundly.
“……”
The Dao heart that had just entered meditation instantly collapsed.
Yi Qinglan’s face was boiling hot as she gritted her teeth and said, “This fellow did it on purpose!”
