Walking downstairs, Lin Yinan stopped. Looking back at Lu Zhiyao with a smile, he asked, "Will another child suddenly run out of here and call you mother?"
Lu Zhiyao was too lazy to talk to her, and his mood had not recovered at all. Compared with her, Lin Yinan was more like the owner of this place. He took Lu Zhiyao's hand very naturally, opened the door and walked in.
The first and second floors were full of books. When he walked upstairs, Lin Yinan took a few more glances at the soft blanket placed by the window. There were two pieces of Lu Zhiyao's clothes and a thin pillow and quilt on it.
"Do you usually live here?"
"Where you live has nothing to do with you, why are you asking so many questions?"
Lu Zhiyao finally retracted his hand and kept a certain distance from Lin Yinan. She said to him warily: "Let's just leave. Don't make things difficult for me."
"I won't leave if I don't leave. I keep my word. Do you think I'm joking?" Lin Yinan was still looking around the room. He casually walked to a bookshelf, picked up a book, opened his eyes, and then turned around.
Looking at Lu Zhiyao, he asked: "By the way, where did you find the Golden Ningcao last time? Is there any more?"
"Why are you asking this?" Lu Zhiyao asked with a frown.
"It's nothing, I just want to make plans for the future. What if I get poisoned again? I don't want to die yet."
Lin Yinan's answer made Lu Zhiyao's teeth itch with hatred, couldn't he think of something better?!
"No, don't even think about it." Lu Zhiyao didn't look at him, turned around and looked up at the starry sky outside. She didn't notice the haze flashing through Lin Yinan's eyes. She only heard his footsteps.
Slowly approaching, and then his voice slowly sounded.
"How will you cry if you never see me again?"
Lin Yinan sat next to Lu Zhiyao and asked such an inexplicable question. Lu Zhiyao slowly turned her head to look at him, always feeling that something was wrong. After scanning Lin Yinan up and down, she asked hesitantly: "You don't know...
…Have you really been poisoned again?”
"Just talking, you look nervous." Lin Yinan smiled triumphantly, "Lu Zhiyao, are you staying to sleep with me or are you leaving?"
Lu Zhiyao was annoyed when he heard what he said. It was he who had pulled him here, but now he was asking this? Lu Zhiyao didn't say anything, and stood up to leave, but was dragged back by Lin Yinan.
Lin Yinan locked her tightly in his arms, leaned into her ear and sighed slightly, saying: "If it were before, you would definitely pounce on me."
"Stop...nonsense, when have I ever done that before!" Lu Zhiyao almost cursed and struggled to leave, but another word from Lin Yinan made her quiet down involuntarily.
"It's been four years. Let me hug you. It's not too much."
Lin Yinan hugged her like a rogue and refused to let go. His deep voice flowed into Lu Zhiyao's heart like a warm current, releasing the greed that had been locked up in her heart for a long time.
Just for a moment, it's not too much. Lu Zhiyao deceived himself and told himself that anyway, there would be no chance to see him again in the future.
The room suddenly became quiet, and Lu Zhiyao could even hear the sound of wolves walking around outside.
Lin Yinan's chin rested on her shoulder, and his left hand interlocked with her fingers. If Lu Zhiyao's body hadn't been too stiff, maybe they would have looked the same as before.
"Xia Han, is she okay?" Lu Zhiyao suddenly thought of his sister. Logically speaking, she should have become the queen long ago, but what Qing Yan said to him that day didn't seem like that.
"Okay, your sister, how dare I do her bad."
Mentioning Xia Han, Lin Yinan's face showed a trace of imperceptible embarrassment.
"Why don't you ask me how I am doing?" Lin Yinan did not think about those things and seized every opportunity to talk to Lu Zhiyao more.
"I asked, and you answered." Lu Zhiyao took a deep breath, turned his head to look at him, and felt his vision darken, and Lu Zhiyao was overwhelmed by him.
There was a conflict between heart and mouth. Lu Zhiyao couldn't adapt to such intimacy. He bit his lip and pushed his body, and said impatiently: "If you are like this, you have nothing to say!"
"Why can't I do this?" Lin Yinan asked confidently, "I don't remember writing a letter of divorce to you, so why can't I do this?"
After saying that, Lin Yinan lowered his head and bit the corner of her lip as if to vent his anger.
"It's you, Lu Zhiyao, why did you take my child and walk away like this?"
"It was you who asked me to leave."
"I only said I needed to be alone to calm down, and I never said I wanted you to leave my side!"
This is what Lin Yinan has hated about himself for so many years. Just because of those damn words, he couldn't keep her. Lu Zhiyao was right, he wanted revenge. There was only one person who was good to him since he was a child.
She died, how could he not want revenge? But when he found out the truth, he found that his first reaction was, what should he do if revenge can't be avenged?
Lin Yinan didn't know what it was about Lu Zhiyao that made him unable to give up like this, but he just happened to be like this. He always had a purpose in doing things, and he always knew how to do things, but because of her, everything got messed up.
After being injured by Liao Wuhen and returning to Xia Lai Kingdom that year, Lin Yinan asked himself, was it worth dying for her?
When facing those followers who were sent to Qingming Kingdom by him, where they risked their lives year-round to search for clues about her, and finally returned with scars and no results, he also asked himself, should he waste time on her like this?
Shouldn't?
But the answer was already known the moment he asked himself. He didn't expect that it would be so difficult to get her back, let alone that he didn't want revenge, but some people did.
Lu Zhiyao is innocent, Lin Yinan has always felt that way. She died innocently, lived innocently, and was innocently involved in all these things. Maybe if he didn't find her, she would stay with Liao Wuhen.
He would suffer for a few years, but the troubles in the future would never happen again. But after thinking about it for so long, he still made a selfish decision. Even if she would be caught in the middle, he still wanted her to come back.
After meeting Liao Wuhen for the first time and being defeated, Lin Yinan knew that Lu Zhiyao's life would not be easy, and Liao Wuhen would definitely not kill her. Because he wanted her to kill her with her own hands.
Himself, so this is also the reason why Lin Yinan slowed down later.
She can't learn anything by his side. She needs to grow up and become stronger, so that even if he is gone, no one can do anything to her. This is what he wants.
Lu Zhiyao couldn't bear his deep gaze and turned his head. A small scar under his right ear where his neck and collarbone were connected came into Lin Yinan's eyes.
"Why are there injuries here?" Lin Yinan asked in a low voice as he remembered the marks on her arms from the last time he fought with her. He kissed the scars tenderly and distressedly.
Lu Zhiyao's mood was very complicated, he was a little happy and a little worried. If Liao Wuhen came back at this time and saw them like this, then the two of them would definitely be dead.
"Forgot."
Lu Zhiyao told the truth. He had been injured too many times and had too many scars on his body. He couldn't remember exactly when and why he was injured.
"Lin Yinan, why did you come to me?" Lu Zhiyao blushed a little, but couldn't help but ask.
Lin Yinan thought about it seriously, and just when he was about to answer her, there was a sound of footsteps outside.
Lu Zhiyao was stunned, pushed Lin Yinan away and sat up. Those steps were not those of Shen Xing, let alone Li Luo. Who could they be?
Before Lin Yinan could react, Lu Zhiyao took him by the collar and threw him out of the window. A group of wolves outside the building raised their necks, waiting for him to fall. Lin Yinan jumped up to the roof with a dark face, listening to the howling of the wolves, long and loud. sigh.
It’s not easy to have a good conversation...
Lu Zhiyao and Lin Yinan only focused on talking and focused all their attention on him, so they didn't notice the movement outside at all.
Mo Xiaoying walked up with a puzzled look on her face. She looked at Lu Zhiyao's slightly red face and glanced around the room. No one else was there.
"Zhiyao, who were you talking to just now?"
"No one, did you hear it wrong?" Lu Zhiyao replied perfunctorily, "Why are you here so late?"
"Well, I can't sleep. I have something to tell you." Mo Xiaoying walked over and looked at Lu Zhiyao up close, still confused. "Why is your face so red?"
"Oh, I feel a little uncomfortable and have a fever, so I don't sleep there with my child."
In desperation, Lu Zhiyao had no choice but to open his eyes and tell lies. Lin Yinan, who was on the roof outside the house, listened to the conversation between the two and smiled silently.
"Zhiyao, the emperor should be back tomorrow."
Mo Xiaoying and Lu Zhiyao both sat down and talked to her about the situation outside in the past few days.
"The battle...is still lost."
Lu Zhiyao was silent for a moment and then spoke, "How could the emperor give up so easily?"
"Then I don't know. I can never figure out the emperor's thoughts." Mo Xiaoying smiled bitterly, "The queen mother also doesn't sleep well every day because of the child. If you have time, go and see her tomorrow."
Lu Zhiyao has only been worried about his own discomfort these days, and has almost forgotten Qi Mingyue. Nodding guiltily in agreement, Lu Zhiyao said: "My master has already gone to look for her. Even if she is anxious now, it is of no use."
"The responsibility for this matter lies with us, and we will do our best. But I don't know what the other party wants to do by taking away the two children. Also, Zhiyao, after this defeat, the emperor may be angry with you. You..."
"Don't worry, I'll take it."
Mo Xiaoying knew that Lu Zhiyao had a bad temper, and she also knew that Lu Zhiyao had a fight with Xuanyuan Haotian before, so she was worried that this defeat would become a trigger between the two and lead to another dispute between them. After all, Lu Zhiyao is also in a bad mood now. The loss of her child is more important to her than anything else.
Lu Zhiyao and Mo Xiaoying talked for almost half an hour before Mo Xiaoying got up and prepared to go back. Lu Zhiyao stood blankly in front of the window and watched her leave, and then he suddenly thought of Lin Yinan who was thrown outside by her.
