When the book-traveling little detective meets the two-faced prince

Chapter 360: Falling Without Wind

After trying to empty his mind, or counting dumplings and sheep, but still unable to fall asleep, Lin Lezhi carefully got out of bed and went to the yard of the inn.

Lin Lezhi looked up at the night sky.

Compared to the lake island, there is no cloud or fog here, and the night sky is so clear that every star seems to be within reach and shines brightly.

Can……

Lin Lezhi's mood was not as clear and bright as the bright stars. It seemed as if it was entangled in layers of fog, and it was difficult to tear through the fog around him, making it increasingly difficult to see clearly.

In fact, he was not without fatigue.

But his complicated thoughts made it difficult for him to fall asleep.

Qiao Ying said that he couldn't give her the answer she wanted, but there was someone who could give her the answer.

perhaps.

It’s not that he can’t give it, but that he doesn’t want to give it.

No matter what Qiao Ying's intentions were, and no matter how true or false his words were, at least he did not lie. The person he led himself to meet did indeed create a breakthrough.

Slow down.

He let out a long sigh, his slightly stagnant and confused gaze wandering across the night sky, trying to find a bit of solace in the bright and vast starry sky.

Just as Lin Lezhi sorted out some of his complicated thoughts and turned around to go back to his room.

A yellow leaf fell in front of his eyes without wind, and Lin Lezhi's eyes involuntarily looked in the direction where the leaf fell.

The moment he looked over, a breeze blew by, bringing a touch of light red, which reflected into Lin Lezhi's eyes.

Seeing Xiao Yihuo sitting on the roof and looking at him in a casual but polite manner, Lin Lezhi's eyes suddenly widened.

!

Since when has he been there?!

Why are you there?

He hadn't even changed his clothes. Could it be that he hadn't returned to his room from the beginning?

Seeing that Lin Lezhi finally noticed him, with that somewhat dull and surprised look in his eyes, Xiao Yihuo couldn't help but slightly raise the corner of his mouth.

He picked up another leaf from the roof and threw it down in front of Lin Lezhi.

This is true.

Six hundred and sixty-six, I don’t even want to act it out.

Meeting Lin Lezhi's resentful gaze, Xiao Yihuo's smile widened a little. He then came down from the roof, hands behind his back, and looked at the somewhat stunned expression on Lin Lezhi's face with interest. He joked, "I was just wondering if I could throw away all the fallen leaves on the roof so that you wouldn't be able to find me."

It was fine when they were at a distance from each other just now, but now that he was suddenly right in front of him, Lin Lezhi felt a sudden panic for no reason.

Do not know why.

He had a feeling that he didn't know how to face Xiao Yihuo, but there was a hint of urgency in his somewhat helpless eyes, as if he had a question that he wanted to find an answer to.

Lin Lezhi tried his best to maintain his usual attitude, gently stroking his chest, as if to comfort himself, "What are you doing sitting on the roof in the middle of the night? It's so scary."

"I don't know. Maybe someone led him astray." Xiao Yihuo said pointedly, "After all, that person is accustomed to staying up late at night and even dares to go to a rushing waterfall."

“I was…”

"I happened to be bored, so I wanted to try and see if getting closer to the night sky would make the stars more accessible."

Xiao Yihuo's casual remark wasn't meant to be playful, but rather carried a touch of emotion, like a clear spring, moist and tranquil. As he spoke, he gazed up at the night sky above him, his eyes drifting off into the distance.

These words flowed through Lin Lezhi's heart, as if diluting some of the mist, stirring up a layer of ripples, and his gaze also looked towards the night sky.

"How is it, is there any result?"

"Not yet. I was just about to try it when you showed up."

"Take me up there too." Lin Lezhi's eyes were filled with ripples, and he blurted out, "I want to try and see if there's any difference."

This time it was Xiao Yihuo who was stunned.

To be precise, he was attracted by the expectation in Lin Lezhi's eyes and couldn't take his eyes off him for a while.

Slow down.

He replied, "Okay."

Xiao Yihuo took Lin Lezhi to the highest place in the inn. Looking at the stars in the night sky, he couldn't help but reach out his hand, wanting to touch them.

Be in a high place.

There is indeed an illusion of being closer to the stars, and it seems that I can open up some of my heart and say some words buried in my heart.

Xiao Yihuo looked at Lin Lezhi, and his originally cheerful gaze became slightly serious, with a slightly inquiring look, as if he couldn't see clearly the person sitting next to him.

And amidst all this, there were many difficult-to-describe emotions in his eyes.

After thinking for a moment, he clenched his hands at his side and said slowly, "The promise we made is not valid. There's no need for you to get involved."

Lin Lezhi smiled and said bluntly, "So, you also think that I'm not the Nan Rongyi you're looking for."

Xiao Yihuo's pupils narrowed slightly and he remained silent.

"Nan Rongyi's appearance on the Jianghu scene coincided with Jiang Lian'an's, but now someone can prove that Jiang Lian'an existed a year and a half ago."

"I should be just someone similar to him." Lin Lezhi's smile froze, his eyes dimmed with a hint of guilt as he said, "I'm sorry, I disappoint you."

in fact.

From Lin Lezhi's perspective, he is not Nan Rongyi, so he can get along better in front of Xiao Yihuo.

Otherwise I always feel something is weird.

But from another perspective, he was the culprit who caused Nan Rongyi and Xiao Yihuo to end up in tragedy.

and so.

In front of Xiao Yihuo, he always felt a sense of guilt for some unknown reason.

Xiao Yihuo tightened his hands at his side again, and his eyes were filled with extremely complex and inexplicable emotions.

He didn't look at Lin Lezhi, but lowered his eyes to look at the tiles on the roof. With a look of forbearance and apology, he said, "I should be the one to say sorry. He has already been burned to death, but I always can't see clearly. I always tend to mistake you for him. I'm sorry."

Lin Lezhi didn't want to consider how much truth there was in Xiao Yihuo's words, whether it was a test, or whether he had other intentions.

Gotta.

His affection for Nan Rongyi is genuine.

Lin Lezhi smiled, completely understanding, and said, "Don't feel sorry. This is normal. Anyone who sees the person they've been thinking about day and night will lose control of themselves. I'm the same."

Lin Lezhi's eyes darkened. He was talking to Xiao Yihuo, but also to himself: "I know very well that the people I lost will never come back."

Realizing that he had said too much, how could he, a person with amnesia, think of someone he longed for day and night? Before the atmosphere became more tense, Lin Lezhi looked at Xiao Yihuo, smiled with a firm gaze, and said, "Anyway, it doesn't matter who I am. I won't go back on my promise to you."

Lin Lezhi extended his hand towards Xiao Yihuo, "Once a promise is made, nothing can stand in its way. From today on, we are friends. I will do my best to help you find out the truth about your mother."
