Li Yuyan subconsciously avoided Lin Xiao, her eyes a little panicked.
Lin Xiao saw it in his eyes and said distressedly:
"Don't worry, although the brothers' workshop is already the private property of the royal family, I can increase the cost of salt production. By then, the increased part will only be more, not less, and I will give it all to you!"
Li Yuyan was slightly startled when he heard this.
He didn't expect Lin Xiao to say these words, and he didn't know how to react for a while.
"Don't refuse, I'll do my best to help you."
Lin Xiao looked at Li Yuyan firmly and said seriously.
Li Yuyan couldn't help but feel warm in his heart when he saw Lin Xiao's appearance.
No matter what, he had absolute trust in Lin Xiao!
Li Yuyan took a deep breath, looked at Lin Xiao solemnly and said:
"Thank you!"
Lin Xiao waved his hand and looked at him with a smile:
"Don't say thank you, who among us is following whom?"
After saying that, Lin Xiao stretched out his hand towards Li Yuyan.
Li Yuyan saw Lin Xiao's extended hand, was stunned for a moment, and then handed it over.
The two people held their hands tightly, and each could feel the other's warmth from the other's palms.
After a long time, Li Yuyan released his hands, looked at Lin Xiao and said:
"I heard that you were sent to the east coast and will go to Southeast Asia soon. Are you...really going?"
"What are you talking about! The emperor has spoken, how can I, a flat-headed commoner, refuse? Besides, I also want to go to Southeast Asia. If I really find sweet potatoes, everyone will be able to fill their stomachs!
"
Lin Xiao burst out laughing:
"Don't worry about me, I will protect myself!"
Li Yuyan looked at Lin Xiao's heartless smile, and a hint of bitterness appeared on the corner of his mouth.
She is the love of his heart, how can he not be worried?
But what about worrying?
How could he, an ant who was hunted down by the emperor and had to remain anonymous to survive, stop the imperial power?
Thinking of this, Li Yuyan sighed softly.
Lin Xiao noticed Li Yuyan's disappointment and quickly patted him on the shoulder:
"Okay, okay, I came here specifically to say goodbye to you, so don't make a sad face!"
Li Yuyan suddenly grabbed Lin Xiao's hand tightly and said excitedly:
"I'll go with you!"
Lin Xiao looked at Li Yuyan's appearance and couldn't help but smile and shook his head gently:
"You can stay here with peace of mind. Although Southeast Asia is far away, it is not far away from me. Wait for me to come back and bring sweet potatoes!"
Li Yuyan held Lin Xiao's hand reluctantly and begged:
"I don't want you to be in danger alone!"
"How could I go into danger alone? Yu Xilin and so many craftsmen are with me!"
Lin Xiao chuckled and looked at Li Yuyan:
"Don't worry, after I find the sweet potato and bring it back, I will make roasted sweet potato for you to eat. I guarantee that you will want to eat it again!"
Li Yuyan looked at Lin Xiao, hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded helplessly:
"All right."
As he spoke, Li Yuyan suddenly lowered his body and placed a kiss on Lin Xiao's forehead.
Lin Xiao was startled by Li Yuyan's actions and quickly pushed him away and looked at him angrily.
"What are you doing!"
"Yes, I'm sorry, I, I."
Li Yuyan blushed and spoke incoherently.
Lin Xiao's cheeks were also blushing. She didn't know why Li Yuyan wanted to kiss her. Did he like her?
But two women...
In this feudal society, it seems.
Not quite appropriate?
For some reason, Lin Xiao felt a strong sense of guilt in her heart.
"It's getting late, I'll leave first."
Lin Xiao hurriedly said a word, turned and left, her back looking a little panicked.
"A Xiao. A Xiao..."
Li Yuyan looked at Lin Xiao's hurried away figure and murmured to himself, his eyes full of sadness and reluctance.
This silly girl, couldn't she see that he was in love with her?
He fell in love with her
But
There was a hint of sadness in Li Yuyan's eyes.
He always feels that he is not worthy of Lin Xiao
Li Yuyan took a deep breath and collected his emotions.
He knew that if he wanted Lin Xiao to accept him, he couldn't rush it.
If that's the case, then do it slowly
He believed that one day, Lin Xiao would understand his goodness and fall in love with him.
"Axiao."
Li Yuyan recited the name softly, and his eyes became extremely gentle.
…
Lin Xiao, who ran out of Jiuzhou Villa quickly, was panting and her heart was beating fast.
Li Yuyan's behavior just now was too ambiguous.
She was certain that Li Yuyan probably fell in love with her.
But, what should I do?
Going both ways?
What should the two of them do then?
Lin Xiao's heart was in a mess.
"Oh, this is so annoying!"
Lin Xiao scratched his hair irritably.
She knew that this kind of thing was no small matter.
She needs time to think about it.
Perhaps this trip to the east coast can give her enough time to think about her relationship with Li Yuyan.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiao felt a little better. She quickened her pace and walked towards the inn.
It was already midnight when we returned to the inn.
Yu Xilin was not asleep yet. He was sitting on the open space in the courtyard, half drunk and half awake, staring straight at the dark night sky outside.
Yu Xilin didn't sleep well during this period. He kept thinking about Wang Yao's true confession to him before leaving Beijing.
Although he had long known that Wang Yao liked him, he couldn't help being shocked when Wang Yao expressed it.
Wang Yao's love for herself has reached the point where it is stuck in the mud.
This is all because he never responded to her and escaped again and again, which caused her to fall deeper and deeper into the trap.
Yu Xilin sighed, raised his head, and looked at the starry sky, wondering what he was thinking.
In his mind, Lin Xiao's appearance and those eyes as clear as spring water kept flashing through his mind.
A trace of sorrow surged from the bottom of Yu Xilin's heart. It turned out that liking someone would cause such pain.
At this moment, he and Wang Yao actually resonated.
They are all seeds of infatuation.
Lin Xiao saw the faint sadness in Yu Xilin's eyes and felt a little guilty in her heart. She walked forward slowly.
"Brother Yu, what are you doing here? I'm just not drinking with you! You're not waiting for me here all the time, are you?"
Seeing that Yu Xilin didn't answer her, she called a few more times.
"Brother Jade?"
"Brother Jade?"
Only then did Yu Xilin come back to her senses and raised her head to look at Lin Xiao:
"Xiao Linzi, you, are you back?"
Lin Xiao nodded.
"I thought you weren't coming back tonight!"
Lin Xiao sneered:
"Brother Yu, don't say that. If I don't come back today, wouldn't you have to use the sky as your bed and the earth as your bed?"
Facing Lin Xiao's joke, Yu Xilin's cheeks couldn't help but feel a little hot. He quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at Lin Xiao again.
Seeing Yu Xilin's appearance, Lin Xiao burst out laughing:
"What's wrong? Are you shy? You are a noble young master, but you are so thin-skinned?"
Hearing this, Yu Xilin suddenly raised his head, his beautiful eyes widened, and looked at Lin Xiao, as if he was blaming Lin Xiao for making fun of him, but he didn't know how to refute.
