He knew his sister very well. She was timid to begin with, and after falling into the water when she was six years old, she became more and more introverted and withdrawn. She only smiled in front of her family, and she refused to even see strangers on weekdays. How could Gu Xiyu be tempted by Shen Changan and even take the initiative to see him?
Gu Xinian silently stared at Gu Xiyu's tearful pretty face, but his heart was filled with huge waves.
Ye Qinglan's bright eyes fell firmly on Gu Xinian's face and said slowly: "Cousin Gu, nothing in this world is impossible. Think about yourself, then think about me, Cousin Xiyu's changes It’s also natural.”
Gu Xinian's expression changed slightly.
Ye Qinglan said it very cryptically, and probably only he could understand what it meant. Yes, with him being reborn, and with her being mysterious and unknown, the fate of many people will probably change accordingly. For Gu Xiyu Aren’t the changes that have taken place the best proof?
Perhaps, in this life, Gu Xiyu will break away from his original fate and become a completely different person. Isn't this what he originally hoped for? Why is it that at this moment of real change, the person who is most unacceptable is himself?
Gu Xinian's eyes were extremely complicated, and all the expressions on his handsome face gradually disappeared, turning a little pale.
This is the first time Ye Qinglan has seen Gu Xinian like this. This man is very scheming and good at disguise. He has experienced everything in his previous life, and his true temperament is unpredictable. She has always been fond of him. I kept a respectful distance from him because I really couldn't avoid it. I also tried my best to avoid a direct conflict with him. But it turned out that the two of them were probably born with different horoscopes and magnetic fields, and their overt and covert disputes did not happen once or twice.
But it was the first time I saw a fragile expression on his face...
Ye Qinglan's rising anger quietly subsided a little, and her mind finally calmed down. After thinking about it, she said: "Cousin Gu, don't say anything now, okay?"
Gu Xinian tightened his lips, acquiescing.
Ye Qinglan looked at Gu Xiyu and encouraged her gently: "Cousin Xiyu, tell me what you are thinking in your heart."
Gu Xiyu nodded nervously, her mind was in turmoil and she didn't know where to start.
Gu Xinian took a deep breath and tried his best to make his voice gentle: "Tell me first, do you really have a crush on Shen Changan...?"
Gu Xiyu nodded honestly.
…
Gu Xinian suddenly felt dizzy and breathless. God, how could this be possible? How could the delicate sister fall in love with that vulgar and disfigured martial artist! He must have been wrong just now, he must be!
Unfortunately, reality is so cruel. Gu Xiyu opened her mouth again and said: "Actually, I couldn't understand it at first. However, Cousin Lan talked to me a lot, and I slowly figured it out. I actually like him a little bit. .”
Speaking of the last sentence, Gu Xiyu's pretty face turned slightly red, and her eyes shone with the unique joy of a girl.
Gu Xinian simply didn't know what to say. He looked at Gu Xiyu blankly, as if he were looking at a stranger.
The face of the girl in front of me is so familiar, yet indescribably strange. Is this girl who talks about a man in a joyful tone really his sister Gu Xiyu?
Ye Qinglan smiled and glanced at Gu Xiyu, her eyes full of praise. Cousin Xiyu, you are so good!
Gu Xiyu received her encouraging and comforting eyes, and more courage surged in her heart. The words in her heart came out naturally: "Brother, I am not a child anymore. I really want to see Shen Changan, that's why I begged Cousin Lan is here to help. If you want to be angry, just scold me a few words, and don’t blame Cousin Lan."
Gu Xinian was silent for a long time, and finally found his voice: "Yu'er, you are still young and have never been in contact with men, so you mistook your temporary curiosity for good feelings..."
"No, that's not the case." Gu Xiyu's words became much smoother: "Actually, there is something I have never told you. Cousin Zheng once said that he liked me before. However, I was not tempted at all."
The bombs came one after another. Gu Xinian couldn't react to the bombing, and frowned reflexively: "What did you say? When did this happen? Why didn't I know?"
As soon as Gu Xinian kept a straight face, Gu Xiyu's tongue was tied and she looked at Ye Qinglan reflexively.
Ye Qinglan could only respond on her behalf: "This happened a few months ago. At that time, I accompanied cousin Xiyu to the Duke Zheng's mansion. When cousin Zheng confessed his love to cousin Xiyu, I was actually present."
…
Gu Xinian's face looked ugly: "Why have you been hiding this from me?"
Ye Qinglan secretly rolled her eyes and replied angrily: "Why can't I hide it from you? When a girl grows up, she always has her own secrets. Why do I have to report everything to you?"
Gu Xinian was choked and felt very angry, but he couldn't find the right words to refute. If it were another girl, hiding such a thing from her family would be nothing. But her sister Gu Xiyu...
"You take great care of cousin Xiyu. You are the best brother in the world. No one can deny this." Ye Qinglan's words have always been sharp, hitting the weakest point in people's hearts: "But you Have you ever thought that what you are doing is not a good thing for her. She cannot live as a child forever under your protection. She must learn to grow up and face everything in her life. .Excessive care will only become a burden to her."
Gu Xinian never thought that one day he would be left speechless by a girl.
Every sentence was so harsh, but every sentence made sense. It made him feel aggrieved and annoyed, but he couldn't refute it.
Gu Xiyu glanced at the sullen Gu Xinian with some embarrassment. Her eldest brother must be very angry! However, she really didn't mean to make him angry: "Brother, it's all my fault. I will never do it again in the future. I will hide it from you. Can you please stop being angry?"
Gu Xinian came back to his senses and looked at Gu Xiyu's pitiful appearance about to cry. He couldn't help but sigh secretly. His expression softened again: "Yu'er, brother is not angry, it's just... a little unexpected."
Gu Xiyu looked at Gu Xinian carefully: "Are you really not angry anymore?"
Gu Xinian quickly adjusted back to his elegant and gentle appearance, and even managed a smile: "Of course not. Okay, keep talking!"
Gu Xiyu's ability to observe words and emotions was far worse than Ye Qinglan's. Seeing Gu Xinian calm down, she immediately felt relieved and said, "I was frightened when I met him in the palace. I was so frightened that I cried. But after I returned, Thinking of him again, I felt a little happy in my heart. Later, he came to the house once, and I took the initiative to go out to meet him..."
What? It was Yu'er who took the initiative to see Shen Changan that time?
Gu Xinian could hardly stop laughing. But he didn't want to interrupt Gu Xiyu, so he forced himself to continue smiling. Ye Qinglan looked at Gu Xinian's appearance coldly, and for some reason, a trace of sympathy emerged in her heart.
The delicate sister who had grown up and had no opinion in her hand suddenly opened her mouth to say that she fell in love with a man. Probably all the brothers in the world would be maladaptive! What's more, Gu Xinian was so arrogant and arrogant, thinking that he was Everything he did was for the good of Gu Xiyu. He never thought that the man he tried every means to drive away was the one his sister liked. This was definitely a big blow to Gu Xinian!
Gu Xiyu was completely unaware of Gu Xinian's subtle thoughts and continued: "... Later, he came every day, but my mother never let him enter the house again. I didn't miss him particularly."
That's pretty much it. When Gu Xinian heard this, he finally felt a little more balanced.
Gu Xiyu added: "Cousin Lan asked me if I liked him. I couldn't figure it out at first. But then I finally figured it out. I actually like him a little bit. I know he likes me. I am very happy that you want to marry me." She is simple-minded and says whatever she thinks. She is not shy when talking about this. Her eyes are calm and clear.
Gu Xinian was silent for a moment and asked: "You live in Uncle Changyuan's Mansion. How did Shen Changan invite you to Ciyun Temple?"
"He sent someone a letter." Gu Xiyu replied honestly: "As soon as I pushed the door open, I saw a letter in the crack of the door. After opening it and reading it, I realized that he wanted to see me before leaving the capital. I hesitated for a long time before I decided to come see him."
Gu Xiyu felt that what she said was not clear enough, so she added: "I know he must have something to say to me, and I want to hear what he has to say."
Gu Xinian's eyes flashed and he was noncommittal.
Seeing that he remained silent, Gu Xiyu felt a little strange: "Brother, don't you want to ask me what he said to me?"
Gu Xi young snorted: "What's there to ask? I can guess what he's thinking without asking. He must want you to wait for him to come back. When he comes back after suppressing the bandits and has made great achievements, he can invite the emperor." I’ll marry you, right?” Humph, that’s a pretty thought!
…
My eldest brother was actually there at that time!
Gu Xiyu opened her eyes in disbelief.
Ye Qinglan's heart moved, and she interrupted: "Cousin Gu, have you thought of some way to prevent him from coming back safely?"
Gu Xinian glanced at Ye Qinglan, who responded quickly, but said nothing.
So, this is actually the default!
Gu Xiyu's reaction was a few beats slower, and she thought about this sentence several times in her mind before she understood what it meant. Her pretty face suddenly turned pale: "Brother, please don't mess around."
Gu Xinian glanced at Gu Xiyu, who had a worried look on his face, and didn't know what it was like.
He tried every means to drive Shen Changan to Shandong, and naturally he had backup plans. As long as Shen Changan was gone, he couldn't even think about coming back early. Let alone one year, two or three years, he couldn't even think about returning to the capital! (To be continued.
