Lin Xiao took a deep breath and asked in order to stop thinking about it:
"How did you know I was here?"
"As soon as I heard that Linjia Village was hit by a flood, I rushed to look for you, but you were nowhere to be seen. Later, I heard from the village chief that some villagers ran to the mountains, so I rushed to find you!"
Li Yuyan didn't lie. When he saw Linjia Village, which had turned into a vast ocean, his heart almost stopped beating.
Fortunately, the village chief and others arrived and told him to look for survivors in the mountains.
So he hurriedly found a wooden board, rowed to the mountainside like a rowing boat, and went up the mountain to look for someone.
The hard work paid off, and he finally saw a cave with a bright fire...
When Li Yuyan said that the village chief and others were still alive, a warm current surged through his heart, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
They are all fine, which feels so good!
Lin Xiao sniffed to prevent herself from crying, but tears slid down the corners of her eyes and fell into the grass.
Naturally, these little moves of hers were not hidden from Li Yuyan. Li Yuyan sighed softly and held her in his arms distressedly:
"Axiao, I'm sorry, I'm late!"
"No."
Lin Xiao wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said softly that she did not mean to blame Li Yuyan.
The appearance of Li Yuyan was like a timely help for Lin Xiao, making her feel infinite warmth in her heart.
"Axiao."
Li Yuyan called her softly.
"Um?"
Lin Xiao nodded slightly.
"Axiao, if possible, I...I..."
For some reason, the words "Axiao, I like you!" always stuck in Li Yuyan's throat, and he secretly smiled bitterly in his heart.
But my mind was spinning rapidly, trying to find the right lines.
"Ahem! Ah Xiao, I came here today to tell you something."
Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows in confusion:
"What's up?"
Li Yuyan looked at Lin Xiao's beautiful peach blossom eyes and suddenly felt his throat became dry and his heart was beating fast.
His eyes moved involuntarily towards Lin Xiao's lips, and he saw those delicate and red lips, which seemed to be calling him something, which made people's hearts beat.
He lost his mind again!
"Yuyan, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Xiao left Li Yuyan's arms and looked at Li Yuyan with probing and puzzled eyes.
"me……"
Li Yuyan swallowed hard and stammered:
"General Bai asked me to tell you that his edict to return to Beijing should arrive at Jiuzhou Courtyard in the next two days. Please prepare and follow him to Beijing."
Hearing this, Lin Xiao showed a regretful expression on his face:
"I'm afraid I can't go to the capital with General Bai. As you can see, Linjia Village has been severely damaged and the villagers have been displaced. I can't leave at this time!"
"Yeah, I understand."
Li Yuyan nodded.
Lin Xiao smiled slightly, stretched out his slender right hand, held Li Yuyan's slightly rough hand, and said softly:
"Thank you, Yu Yan, for letting me know that they are still alive."
Li Yuyan's pupils shrank violently and then returned to normal:
"We are still saying thank you. If you are polite to me again, I will really be unhappy!"
Lin Xiao pursed her lips and smiled. She took her hand out of Li Yuyan's palm and leaned her head on his broad shoulder:
"Yu Yan, you are so kind! To be honest, if you were a man, I would definitely like you, but I also like you very much now."
As soon as the words came out, Lin Xiao immediately covered her mouth and wanted to bite off her tongue!
Li Yuyan was also stunned.
He stared blankly at the girl in his arms, feeling that it was becoming difficult to breathe and his whole body felt a little erratic.
She just said that she likes me?
Li Yuyan's heart was filled with excitement.
Lin Xiao felt Li Yuyan's hot gaze. She twisted a few times uncomfortably and whispered:
"Yu Yan, don't misunderstand! I, I didn't mean what I just said, I meant..."
Li Yuyan suddenly pulled Lin Xiao toward him, lowered his head and kissed that alluring little mouth. His kiss was eager and manic, and Lin Xiao could not refuse.
Lin Xiao was stunned and her mind went blank for a moment. When she came to her senses, she pushed Li Yuyan away hard and blushed with embarrassment:
"What did you do?"
Li Yuyan stared at Lin Xiao unwillingly, remained silent for a while, and then said in a hoarse voice:
"Axiao, I like you!"
Lin Xiao's eyes widened and she looked at Li Yuyan in disbelief:
"You, you, what did you just say?! You, you said you like me?!"
Li Yuyan nodded heavily:
"I like it, I like it very much! I like it very much!!!"
He spoke loudly and forcefully, as if he was afraid that Lin Xiao wouldn't understand, so he accentuated his tone!
Lin Xiao's face turned redder:
"No, no, we can't do this, I'm straight, I'm not crooked, we can't do this, we can't do this..."
At this moment, Lin Xiao's heart was filled with thousands of grass and mud horses galloping past.
Damn it, I am a straight girl, not a bender!!!!
"What's straight? What's curved? Xiao, I really, really like you!"
Li Yuyan grabbed Lin Xiao's uninjured arm and expressed his feelings eagerly.
Lin Xiao looked at the left arm that was being held by Li Yuyan, and felt her blood boiling. Her heart was beating so fast, as if it was about to jump out of her chest. She could even feel Li Yuyan's fingers trembling.
Her face became more and more rosy, and her eyes widened:
"You, please let me go first."
Li Yuyan let go of Lin Xiao's hand with a look of reluctance, but still held her left wrist firmly, as if he was afraid that Lin Xiao would disappear if he let go.
Lin Xiao raised her head and looked at Li Yuyan's handsome face. Suddenly she didn't dare to look directly into his eyes. She lowered her head for a moment, then suddenly raised her head and said:
"Our current situation makes it impossible for us to be together, so let's just pretend that what happened today never happened!"
After that, Lin Xiao ran away as if running away.
Li Yuyan was left standing there, staring blankly at Lin Xiao's escaping figure, his expression changing unpredictably, and finally turning into a wry smile.
He misinterpreted the meaning of Lin Xiao's words just now. He thought that the "situation" Lin Xiao mentioned referred to the fact that he was hunted down by Li Yuquan and had to remain anonymous and live a life of fear.
But in fact, Lin Xiao felt that in a feudal society where men were supreme, it was not allowed for two women to elope!
Although her social identity is male, she is a real woman!
No matter what, Li Yuyan was once again determined to clear his side.
If it was for revenge against his parents before, then now it is for his beloved girl!
He will definitely make all the enemies that hinder him and Lin Xiao disappear.
He believed that one day, Lin Xiao would understand his feelings for her.
Li Yuyan's deep pupils were flashing with firm flames!
