Ye Qinglan stood up knowingly: "Since Cousin Gu has something to say to Cousin Xiyu, I will leave first." He knew that she was definitely the unpopular one in Gu Xinian's eyes!
Gu Xinian glanced at Ye Qinglan, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "Are you really going to leave? Why don't you stay and listen together. Otherwise, you will have to sneak to the door again later." It was obvious that he was thinking.
Sarcastic about Ye Qinglan’s eavesdropping in the afternoon.
If it were normal times, Ye Qinglan would definitely retort. But now she was in a low mood and had no interest in it. She simply replied: "I'm going back first." Then she got up and left.
Gu Xinian raised his eyebrows in surprise. He had long been accustomed to Ye Qinglan's sharp tongue, but now that she was suddenly so docile and obedient, he was a little uncomfortable with it.
Ye Qinglan walked past him without looking away and returned to her room.
Ruixue and several maids followed in. Seeing Ye Qinglan's waning mood, she felt secretly surprised.
Ruixue couldn't help but ask: "Miss, what's wrong with you? Has something happened?"
Ye Qinglan didn't have the habit of confiding her concerns to others, so she responded calmly: "It's okay, I'm fine. You guys, please step aside. I want to be alone for a while."
Ruixue reluctantly agreed and led Guiyuan and others to retreat.
The moment she closed the door, Rui Xue clearly saw Ye Qinglan sighing softly, and the usual smile on her pretty face disappeared.
"What's wrong with Miss today?" Guiyuan said worriedly, "She seems to be in a bad mood!"
Ruixue also nodded with sadness. Yes, Ye Qinglan is always smiling every day. It is rare to be as depressed as she is now!
Inside the room, Ye Qinglan sat at the table in a daze, unconsciously staring at the candlestick by the window.
The candlelight danced, the light in the room fluctuated, and it was so quiet that it made people feel a little nervous.
At this time, what was Gu Xinian talking to Gu Xiyu? Was he asking about what happened in the afternoon, or was he asking about something else? Gu Xinian had always had an inexplicable hostility towards her. After this incident, he probably had an impression of her.
Worse.
In fact, she didn't care at all about this. When Gu Xiyu's autism is cured, she probably won't have many opportunities to interact with the siblings. Whether Gu Xinian has a good impression of her or not, it doesn't matter.
What she really cares about is her friend Gu Xiyu.
She is Gu Xiyu's first friend in her life. Isn't it true that Gu Xiyu is the same to her?
Ever since she traveled to this strange dynasty, she has lived a cautious life and been wary of the people around her. Even her closest maid, Ruixue Guiyuan, she did not dare to fully trust. She was even more perfunctory with Ye Qingning.
Good impression.
But Gu Xiyu is different.
From the moment they first met, she felt pity for this beautiful, weak and sensitive girl. Later, she took the opportunity to get close to Gu Xiyu, originally hoping to take the opportunity to cure Gu Xiyu's autism. However, she did not expect that in just one month, she would
Inside, the two of them became so close. Unknowingly, Gu Xiyu had become very important in her heart.
She confidently thought that everything she did was for Gu Xiyu's good, and she interfered and affected Gu Xiyu in every way as a matter of course. It was not until that moment that she realized that what she had done had deeply hurt Gu Xiyu...
"Yu'er." Gu Xinian sat opposite Gu Xiyu, his deep black eyes fixed on Gu Xiyu's pretty face: "I have something to ask you, and you have to tell me the truth."
Although her tone was calm and unhurried, Gu Xiyu could hear something strange in her calm tone. Is it because she deliberately emphasized telling the truth because Gu Xinian was too disappointed with her recent performance?
Gu Xiyu bit her lip, her eyes filled with water.
Gu Xinian did not coax her as softly as usual, and continued to say calmly: "Since Ye Qinglan came, you seem to have changed. Your temper is more cheerful than before, and you have more ideas than before. What's going on?
Why?"
This question has been lingering in his mind for a long time. He was just worried about Gu Xiyu's mood, so he never really asked it.
Gu Xiyu originally thought that Gu Xinian would question him about what happened in the afternoon, but she never expected that he would suddenly ask about this. She was unable to react in time and stared at Gu Xinian without saying anything.
Gu Xinian knew her temper and was not in a hurry. He continued slowly: "I guess she must have done something to you. That's why you have changed so much in such a short period of time. Of course, these changes
It's all good for you, so I haven't said anything. However, her influence on you is too great now. If she was pure and kind-hearted, I would not stop you from interacting with her. But she is too scheming. If she succeeds,
She wants to use you, you are no match for her..."
Gu Xiyu suddenly opened her mouth and said, "Brother, what do you want to say?"
Gu Xinian looked at Gu Xiyu steadily and said in a deep voice: "I want to tell you that you should be a little wary of her. You are simple by nature and have never been exposed to the outside world, so you can easily be deceived..."
Gu Xiyu's reaction was extremely fierce: "No, she is my best friend, I believe her."
"People's hearts are sinister!" Gu Xinian said calmly: "You don't understand her at all. She is much deeper and more cunning than you think..."
Gu Xiyu stood up suddenly: "Brother, I don't allow you to say that to her." The corners of her lips were pursed tightly, with a stubborn look on her face.
Gu Xinian's gentle face finally cracked a little, and he sighed with disappointment: "Yu'er, don't you even believe what your elder brother said?" He never thought that one day his beloved sister would actually do it for him.
An outsider had a dispute with him.
Gu Xiyu opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say. After a long while, she said in a low voice: "Brother, I believe you. But Cousin Lan is really nice. She treats me very well."
Gu Xinian listened quietly to Gu Xiyu's stubborn whisper and did not refute. Instead, he followed her words and said: "It was my fault just now, brother. I shouldn't belittle your good friend in front of you. However, I still want to
Do you know what she did to you? You can’t hide this from me, right?"
Gu Xiyu's mind was a little messy. Standing in front of her was her most trusted and closest brother. She had never hidden anything from him. But... although Ye Qinglan didn't specifically tell her anything, she vaguely
She feels that this should be a secret between her and Ye Qinglan. She should not tell anyone, including her eldest brother.
What should I do? Should I say it?
In fact, even if she wanted to say it, she couldn't explain it clearly because she actually didn't understand what Ye Qinglan had done.
She habitually turned her head and looked to her side. Every time she encountered something difficult, she would listen to Ye Qinglan. But this time, Ye Qinglan was not there...
Gu Xinian saw the confusion, hesitation and struggle on Gu Xiyu's face, and suddenly felt the urge to sigh.
The sister who has loved her so much and has always been obedient to her has actually found a good friend in just one month. Moreover, this friend's status in her heart has a tendency to surpass her elder brother...
He felt a little sad and disappointed in his heart. It was like watching a child who would never grow up suddenly grow up and start to have his own ideas and opinions. He was a little disappointed and uncomfortable, but he felt relieved at the same time.
Is it too cruel for him to force Gu Xiyu to make a choice like this?
A series of thoughts flashed through Gu Xinian's mind, and he finally made a decision: "Okay, Yu'er, you don't have to be so embarrassed. Brother, I won't ask anymore."
What? Gu Xiyu looked up blankly, her eyes full of confusion. The eldest brother was really weird tonight. He just refused to give in and pressed hard, why did he suddenly change his mind now?
With her mind, she really couldn't guess what Gu Xinian was thinking, so she simply stopped thinking about it. As long as her eldest brother wouldn't ask any more questions about it.
Although Gu Xiyu tried her best to hide it, the relief and joy in her eyes did not escape Gu Xinian's eyes.
Gu Xinian's heart suddenly softened, and he said gently: "It's getting late, you should go back to the house and rest early! If you have anything to say, it's not too late to talk to Cousin Lan tomorrow."
Gu Xiyu's thoughts were revealed, she blushed slightly, responded softly, got up and went back to her room.
Gu Xinian accompanied her back to the house with a smile, and gave her a few gentle words of coaxing. He waited until Gu Xiyu calmed down completely before leaving.
As soon as he left Gu Xiyu's sight, Gu Xinian's smile quietly disappeared from his eyes. His handsome face was ambiguous in the dim light, and his eyes were deep and sharp.
The young man Wanfu stepped forward cautiously and said, "Master, it's getting late. Is it time to go back to Izuyunxuan?"
Gu Xinian hummed lightly: "You go back first, I will go back alone later."
Wanfu had long been accustomed to him being alone from time to time, so he didn't say anything, and left first after saying yes. Gu Xinian was left alone, standing under the eaves of the corridor in silence. He didn't know what he was thinking.
After a while, Gu Xinian finally made a move. The strange thing was that he did not walk out, but instead walked towards the guest room.
It was almost midnight, and Ying'er and Hongluan went back to their houses to rest. Only Ruixue and Guiyuan were left waiting in the small hall outside Ye Qinglan's dormitory.
Guiyuan felt sleepy and tired, and yawned several times.
Ruixue burst into laughter and gently advised: "It's okay as long as I'm here. You can go back and rest first!" Ye Qinglan hasn't asked anyone to wait for her until now, and she doesn't know how long she will stay up tonight!
Guiyuan rubbed her eyes to wake herself up: "No, I'll wait until the young lady falls asleep before going back to the house to sleep." Even though she was usually obedient, once she became stubborn, no one could persuade her.
Ruixue had no choice but to continue waiting with her.
The candlelight flickered on and off, stretching the two figures' figures. Then, suddenly and quietly, another tall figure appeared beside the door, looking like a ghost under the candlelight.
Guiyuan was startled and stammered: "Sister Ruixue, there is someone at the door!"
