The two of them didn't speak anymore, just sitting quietly in the forest, one throwing stones and the other whittling sticks. It wasn't until the setting sun dyed the woods golden and the drunken twilight filled the sky that the two of them returned to Chenchen with a heavy heart.
Jiajiaozipu.
Leng Changxi, who had been waiting in the Jiaozi Shop, heard the rumors on the street and guessed that the two must have fought with the pursuers. She couldn't help but feel anxious. She wanted to go and have a look in person, but after Lingshan repeatedly assured her that nothing happened.
Under the circumstances, she gave up the idea.
It wasn't until the evening that Leng Changxi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the two of them came back safely. She took Li Xueyan's hand, looked around, looked up at Lingfeng and asked, "Are you okay?"
Lingfeng showed a smile that reassured her.
Li Xueyan was suddenly pulled over by Leng Changxi. He was stunned for a moment, and then he shook her hand away and said, "What does it have to do with you? Stop pretending to be a good person!"
Leng Changxi understood that Li Xueyan was still angry. She had burned the fire too much. She didn't know when Li Xueyan would be able to calm down, so she could only touch her nose angrily and withdraw her hand.
"Hey, our lady is worried about you. Don't act like a good boy to get an advantage!" Lingshan didn't want others to bully Leng Changxi, so when he saw Li Xueyan's attitude, he got angry. During the day, under her questioning, Leng Changxi
After telling her the whole story, Lingshan scolded her severely at that time. Even now, Leng Changxi has not looked down upon her, but this does not mean that others can bully her young lady.
"Humph! Worried? Hypocritical!" Li Xueyan glared at Leng Changxi, turned around and left the front hall.
Knowing that she was wrong, Leng Changxi pulled Lingshan, who was about to retaliate, and watched her walk out of the house.
"Xiao Bao'er, don't mind. Xue Yan has that kind of character. After a few days, she will figure it out and everything will be fine." Chen Shaoxuan saw a trace of loss in Leng Changxi's eyes, and felt a little guilty in his heart. He always felt that this
Everything happened because of yourself. If you had been cruel and refused to go with Li Xueyan that day, then the following things would not have happened.
"I know that after spending so many days together, I actually like her quite a bit. Although she has a bit of a spoiled temper, she has a good heart. After all, I was the one who caused the trouble, so she should be angry. I didn't take it to heart.
Don't think too much about it." Leng Changxi seemed to see through the self-blame in Chen Shaoxuan's heart, so she smiled at him and comforted him.
"Well, the third senior brother will leave Xiuzhou and go to Jinzhou in two days. I will ask him to take Xue Yan with him then. I believe that Xue Yan will gradually understand it as time goes by." Chen Shaoxuan thought about this for a long time and also
After discussing it with Yang Jian, both of them agreed that it would be better to take Li Xueyan away. On the one hand, it would allow Li Xueyan to calm down, and on the other hand, it would also be for Leng Changxi's good. After all, she has a special status now. If she accidentally leaks anything,
, that would cause big trouble.
"Well, we'll talk about it then." Normally, Leng Changxi would have wished Li Xueyan had left early, but today her daughter's identity was revealed, and Li Xueyan couldn't forgive her, so they were in a hurry to let Li Xueyan leave. In her opinion, it all seemed like
She was avoiding things, which made her feel very uncomfortable. But thinking that Chen Shaoxuan was doing this for his own good, it was inconvenient to refute.
Lingfeng stood in the corner of the room, looking at Chen Shaoxuan and Leng Changxi from a distance. Suddenly, he felt a sense of irritation in his heart, so he got up and walked out of the room.
Leng Changxi caught a glimpse of Lingfeng walking towards the door and hurriedly stopped him: "Lingfeng, I heard that you met the pursuers today. What is the specific situation?"
The image of Li Xueyan standing among the pursuing soldiers suddenly flashed through Lingfeng's mind. Thinking of what she said, he somehow managed to hide it. He just said briefly and concisely: "Miss Xueyan accidentally bumped into them.
Those people were unhappy and took action."
Leng Changxi nodded clearly. Before, she thought that the pursuers found Lingfeng and Li Xueyan because they found some clues. Now it seemed that it was a misunderstanding. Then she felt relieved and continued:
"You've been tired for the whole day too, come and have something to eat together!"
"Eat outside." Lingfeng said a simple word and then disappeared into the house. Lingshan squinted at the disappearing figure of his brother, then glanced at Leng Changxi again, his heart sank slightly, and then he also left.
to the front hall.
Lingshan followed Lingfeng to the backyard and saw him sitting alone on the rockery, looking at the hazy moon in the sky.
She sighed, jumped onto the rockery, sat next to Lingfeng, and looked at the silver moon with him. As the night got darker, the sky was gradually blurred like ink dripping into clear water. The silver moon in the sky became clearer and clearer.
It can be seen that the evening breeze is gentle and brings the coolness of early autumn.
Lingshan sat for a long time before slowly speaking: "Lingfeng, do you still remember what happened when you were a child? Ever since you can remember, you have been following the lady. You will lead the way when you get into trouble, and I will take care of the aftermath."
Lingshan had a faint smile on his lips, looking at the sky with misty eyes as he reminisced.
Hearing what she said, Lingfeng also recalled many things from his childhood, and couldn't help but have a smile on his face: "I remember, how could I not remember? She always told me one thing at that time, that is, follow her
There is meat to eat, so I was deceived by her words and followed her around again and again."
"But you know I'm lying to you, but you're still happy with it." Lingshan smiled.
"Yes, there are countless surprises every time I follow her." Lingfeng recalled those past years and felt that the days passed too fast, and his childhood had become a memory deep in his heart.
"Lingfeng, I have never heard you call her miss since you became wise. Over the years, neither I nor my mother have been able to correct your habit. I didn't understand it before, but I gradually understood it later."
Lingshan's words suddenly stopped, and she looked deeply at Lingfeng, while Lingfeng looked at the moon in the sky motionless, making it difficult to tell what was thinking in her heart.
"Lingfeng." Lingshan sighed silently, feeling sorry for his brother in his heart, but he still had to say some words: "She is a young lady. Once a young lady, she will remain a young lady all her life. You can't do it without shouting.
The fact of change. You can forget everything, but you can’t forget this.”
After saying that, Lingshan stood up, patted Lingfeng on the shoulder, jumped off the rockery and returned to Leng Changxi's house, leaving Lingfeng sitting alone under the moonlight, motionless.
The evening breeze blew by, and a hint of coolness slid down the corners of Lingfeng's eyes. He slowly closed his eyes, curved his lips into a gentle smile, and tasted the bitter tears.
Li Xueyan happened to bump into this scene when she came out of the house. Lingfeng's lonely figure suddenly made her feel a suffocating heartache, which hurt deep down! She did not disturb him and went back to the house. But tonight
