Naturally, the person who was happiest about Gu Xinian's arrival was Gu Xiyu.
Gu Xiyu whispered: "Brother finally remembered to come and see me."
Ye Qinglan hummed casually, but did not answer the question. She didn't look back, but she always felt that two eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling were always falling on her...
What on earth is he going to do? Ye Qinglan gritted her teeth secretly and was angry. He obviously had a lot of things to do, not only busy with court affairs, but also busy dealing with the crown prince and the third prince, busy dealing with Queen Gu and Concubine Zheng, and that old lover. Shen Qiuyu... was he so full that he had nothing to do? Why did he hang around in front of her all the time?
Ye Qingning glanced at Ye Qinglan quickly, and then lowered his head silently. The subtle sourness and bitterness in his heart came up again. He knew that he shouldn't have such dark emotions, but he couldn't get rid of them no matter what.
Ye Qinglan was depressed and troubled, and didn't notice anything strange about Ye Qingning for a moment.
Even the delicacies from the mountains and seas had no taste in the mouth at this time. Ye Qinglan took a few mouthfuls and put down her chopsticks. Gu Xiyu never had a big appetite, and she was full after a while.
Ye Qinglan immediately whispered in her ear: "Cousin Xiyu, there are too many people here and it's too noisy. Let's go back to Huancui Pavilion quietly!"
Gu Xiyu was naturally in favor of such a proposal, and immediately nodded in agreement. Suddenly, as if thinking of something, she added: "But the eldest brother is still here! If I want to leave, I have to tell the eldest brother. Otherwise, we Let the two of you go there together!"
... He is the one who needs to hide, okay! She won't take the initiative to make do with it.
Ye Qinglan coughed: "Cousin Gu and his cousin are drinking, we'd better not go there and disturb them. Just send a maid over quietly to say something."
Gu Xiyu nodded. Then she whispered to Mo Xiang behind her. Mo Xiang responded in a low voice, quietly moved to Gu Xinian at the next table, and reported in a low voice: "Master, the young lady ordered the servant to come and talk to you. With a sound, she and her cousin left the table first."
Gu Xinian held the wine glass in his hand. Hearing this, he twitched the corners of his lips, and a glimmer of understanding flashed in his eyes. This was not Yu'er's idea. It was clearly that girl who wanted to avoid him again!
Gu Xinian glanced at Gu Xiyu casually. Gu Xiyu smiled sweetly at him, but Ye Qinglan still turned sideways and didn't look back at him at all.
Mo Xiang waited for a moment and saw that Gu Xinian didn't say anything. She felt a little strange and said cautiously: "Young Master..."
Gu Xinian gave a faint hum: "Since Yu'er wants to leave first, let her go back to Huancui Pavilion and stay." After a pause, he added unhurriedly: "I'll go back later. Go see her."
Mo Xiang took the order and whispered something into Gu Xiyu's ear. Obviously, Ye Qinglan on the side also heard it. She turned her head and looked over, with a hint of shame and anger in her eyes that she couldn't hide.
He happened to look right into Gu Xinian's dark eyes with raised eyebrows and a slight smile.
Ye Qinglan quickly turned her head away. The movement was so fast that one could hardly see the expression on her face. From such a distance, Gu Xinian naturally couldn't see clearly, but this did not hinder his good mood at all. Lips The horns were raised.
Gu Xiyu didn't know Ye Qinglan's complex and subtle mood, and said with a smile: "Cousin Lan, let's go back first. The eldest brother said he would come see me later."
Ye Qinglan gathered her mood and agreed with a smile. Before leaving, she specifically told Ye Qingning: "Sixth sister, cousin Xiyu feels that there are so many people making noise, so I will go back with her first."
Ye Qingning forced out a smile and nodded.
Ye Qinglan had no time to care about Ye Qingning's mood. She hurriedly left with Gu Xiyu. She didn't breathe a sigh of relief until she was out of Gu Xinian's sight.
After returning to Huancui Pavilion, Gu Xiyu continued to paint happily. She painted most of the morning, but there were still details left to complete, so she was able to paint slowly at this time.
Ye Qinglan sat aside in a daze, feeling confused.
She really wanted to hide, but looking at Gu Xinian's appearance, it was clear that he had seen through her thoughts and would not allow her to dodge at all. She said she wanted to visit Gu Xiyu, but in fact, they both knew what her real intention was.
He simply wanted to see her flustered.
It's really too much! Ye Qinglan thought bitterly. It didn't look like he was pursuing the woman he liked, but it was more of a teasing. Wasn't it just that there was a little bit of fun before? As for being so narrow-minded and stubborn
Do you chase after opportunities whenever you get them?
No, we must not go on like this. We must find a way to get out of this embarrassing situation. Don't think that she has the upper hand because she has such a good impression of him. Humph!
Ye Qinglan thought about lightning and already had an idea.
When she raised her head, she met Gu Xiyu's innocent eyes. Ye Qinglan was startled: "Aren't you painting? Why did you suddenly sit in front of me?"
Gu Xiyu blinked innocently: "I've been sitting here for a long time, but you were in a daze and didn't see me."
Ye Qinglan: "..."
Gu Xiyu asked curiously: "Cousin Lan, what has happened to you these past two days? You are always restless and confused. Is there something on your mind?"
"It's nothing," Ye Qinglan immediately denied it and said with a casual smile: "I was in a daze just now and didn't notice when you came over."
Gu Xiyu has always been very easy to fool, no matter what Ye Qinglan says, she never doubts it. But today, she is not so easy to fool, and she muttered with some dissatisfaction: "You obviously have something on your mind. It was the same a few days ago. I sat there for half a day and didn't even think about it.
Speak. I asked you, but you refused to speak. But I will tell you whatever I have to say."
Ye Qinglan was speechless for a moment.
She really doesn't have the habit of confiding her worries to others. On the one hand, it is due to professional habits. As a psychiatrist, she only needs to listen and provide timely explanations. She does not need to talk about her secrets. On the other hand, it is because of her previous life.
Both of her parents were dead, she didn't have any particularly close relatives, and she only had a few good friends. She made decisions silently on everything by herself, and over time, she got used to this way of life.
After arriving in this strange dynasty, she became more and more cautious. She was afraid that someone might not pay attention and say something that she shouldn't have said. What's more, in her eyes, Gu Xiyu was just a child whose mind was not fully mature. How could she
Maybe he could tell Gu Xiyu what he was thinking that he couldn't even understand?
Gu Xiyu waited for a long time, but when she saw that she still didn't say anything, she couldn't help but feel a little discouraged and said in a depressed voice: "If you don't want to say it, forget it."
Ye Qinglan felt a burst of apology in her heart: "I'm sorry, cousin Xiyu, I didn't want to hide it from you. However, I haven't thought about this matter clearly myself, and I don't know how to tell you." I can't say, "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just me.
Suddenly I realized that I like your big brother a little bit!"
Gu Xiyu forced a smile and wanted to comfort Ye Qinglan, but she didn't know what to say. She suddenly felt a little frustrated: "No wonder you refused to tell me anything. Even if you did, I'm too clumsy to help.
you."
She is so useless! She can't even speak a word well. Not to mention Ye Qinglan, even she feels useless. Why should she ask Ye Qinglan to tell her what's on her mind?
Seeing Gu Xiyu's listless look, Ye Qinglan suddenly felt very uncomfortable. Gu Xiyu treated her with sincerity and trusted her wholeheartedly. But she had many hidden things from Gu Xiyu. Moreover, from the bottom of her heart, she did not treat her as an equal.
position. On the one hand, she hoped that Gu Xiyu would have her own opinions and thoughts, but on the other hand, she always regarded Gu Xiyu as a child who needed care.
From this point of view, she is far less frank and enthusiastic than Gu Xiyu!
"Cousin Xiyu," Ye Qinglan made up her mind in an instant and whispered: "You are right, I do have something on my mind. And I have been troubled by it these days."
Gu Xiyu's eyes widened in surprise, but she felt happy and excited about being trusted: "Do you really want to tell me?"
Ye Qinglan smiled slightly and continued: "Speaking of it, it's actually not a big deal. It's just that I suddenly discovered that I seem to have a crush on a man. However, I don't know if he also has a slight crush on me or is deliberately teasing me. So.
, I’m a little bored these days.”
After saying this, Ye Qinglan suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. It turns out that this is how it feels when someone shares a secret... it's pretty good!
"Who is it?" Gu Xiyu blurted out and asked.
But Ye Qinglan refused to say it clearly: "I'll tell you later."
Gu Xiyu didn't ask further questions, but just tried hard to digest what she just heard. After a while, she said calmly: "Cousin Lan, you are so kind, he must really like you."
Ye Qinglan smiled, Gu Xiyu was indeed a simple child. Her world was simple and transparent, without any darkness. Things between men and women are not as simple as whether they like her or not.
Even if Gu Xinian really has a little affection for her, what does it mean? It is human instinct for men and women to attract each other. But a temporary favor does not mean anything. If it is destined to be fruitless, then it is better to end it early.
Got this feeling that I shouldn’t have.
It's better not to say these words to Gu Xiyu.
"Cousin Xiyu, I want to ask you something." Ye Qinglan begged sincerely: "This request may be a bit strange. Just agree to it and don't ask me why?"
Gu Xiyu's curiosity was aroused, and she nodded without thinking: "Okay. I promise you."
Ye Qinglan laughed dumbly. What Gu Xinian said was absolutely right. With Gu Xiyu's trust in her, it was easy for her to manipulate Gu Xiyu. No wonder Gu Xinian had always been wary of her. If it were her, she would probably
What he did was even more excessive than what Gu Xinian did.
Gu Xiyu opened her big black and white eyes and waited curiously.
Ye Qinglan finally opened her mouth slowly: "Cousin Gu is coming later, and I want to talk to him alone for a while. Can you stay out of the way?"
