Mu Yun An shut her mouth. She buried her head in Xiao Chengyi's arms and smelled the pleasant scent of grass and trees on his body. Her heart was filled with joy.
Xiao Chengyi saw Mu Yun'an huddled in his arms obediently, and couldn't help but think of what his mother said in his mind.
He also knew that the relationship between him and Yan Yan should not be too close, but he just couldn't control it.
After sending the person outside the courtyard, Xiao Chengyi stopped. He put Mu Yun'an down and said, "Go back and rest quickly."
Mu Yun'an was a little reluctant to leave. She didn't know what she thought of and suddenly asked: "Brother Yi, do you want dad to change your yard to live in? The yard next to me is empty and the scenery is good. Do you want to move here?
.”
Xiao Chengyi raised his eyebrows when he heard this. In the past, it would have been okay for him to change the yard, but now it was no longer possible. The old lady definitely didn't want him to get too close to Yan Yan.
He sighed and said, "No need, Tingfeng Courtyard is just fine."
Furthermore, he won't be able to live in the General's Mansion for long. He will have to take the imperial examination in the spring. If he wins the first prize, he will join the court as an official. Then he will have his own mansion.
Mu Yun'an whispered with some disappointment: "Then I'll get you a lantern. It's too dark."
She turned to leave, but Xiao Chengyi stopped her: "Don't go to such trouble." After a pause, he said again: "Yan Yan, don't show too close to me when in front of others."
Mu Yun'an was stunned for a moment and seemed a little confused: "Why?"
Xiao Chengyi stared at her for a long time before sighing helplessly: "You and I are not biological brothers and sisters after all. If we are too close, we will attract criticism."
His voice was slightly hoarse, and he stretched out his hand to gently touch her head: "This is for your own good, and for my own good, do you understand?"
Mu Yun'an nodded: "Is it okay when there is no one around?"
Xiao Chengyi's eyebrows moved. Before he could speak, the little girl in front of him reached out and hugged him and said, "Brother Yi, Yan Yan likes you the most."
A word of like seemed to melt Xiao Chengyi's heart.
In fact, he really liked her very much and liked that she relied on him, so he sweetly called him Brother Yi.
He likes her showing the innocent, playful and cute side of a little girl in front of him, he also likes her acting coquettishly, he likes her hugging him, and he also likes her kissing him.
Xiao Chengyi's mind was a little turbulent. He suppressed his thoughts, but pretended to be serious: "It's useless to be coquettish. If you don't do your homework well, you will still be punished."
Mu Yun'an felt as if someone had poured cold water on her. She let go of him angrily and said, "You are really not cute at all."
As he spoke, he snorted at him, turned around and walked away.
Xiao Chengyi shook his head and laughed as he stood there: "You have quite a bad temper."
...
Haitang Courtyard.
After Shen Wanyue returned, she became very angry. She blamed all the faults on Forsythia, slapped her hard, and cursed: "Who let you make your own decisions, causing me to be exposed?"
I saw a joke."
Forsythia knelt on the ground and covered her face, feeling very aggrieved.
She has been following their young lady since she was a child, and she is also good at observing her words and expressions. She saw that their young lady was interested in Xiao Chengyi, so she offered to help.
But she didn't expect that it would be her fault.
But she didn't dare to defend herself. She could only say: "It's my fault. Please forgive me, Miss."
Shen Wanyue waved her hands a little irritably: "Go down."
Forsythia hurriedly retreated.
Shen Wanyue sat in front of the dressing table, looking at her young and beautiful face, as if she was in a daze and murmured: "I was too impatient. I forgot that you don't like girls who are too proactive. It doesn’t matter, we have a long time to come, I will definitely make you fall in love with me again, I will!"
