Chapter 42 - To each his own heart
When Yin Zixuan picked up An Liran at night, the two of them seemed to have something on their minds, observing each other and speculating about each other.
Seeing Yin Zixuan's solemn expression, An Liran thought to himself: Surely his parents put too much pressure on him, so he was overwhelmed, and his relationship with himself must be shaking.
Thinking of this, she was very sad, and peeked at Yin Zixuan: "You seem to have something on your mind?"
"How can I?" An Liran thought, maybe he didn't want to let him know, or he hadn't figured out how to tell himself.
Leave him to live in the school by himself, and then go to find a job slowly, and now fortunately leave the second brother's card, it seems that it can really come in handy.
But how to think of this, tears are about to flow, it is really uncompromising, An Liran silently looked out of the window.
Suddenly, the mobile phone rang, An Liran opened it and saw that it was the second brother's WeChat: "Are you ready?"
"Ready, don't worry!" An Liran replied.
And these words clearly fell in Yin Zixuan's eyes, "Get ready, don't worry!" Yin Zixuan's heart throbbed inexplicably, and he couldn't help but cover his heart with his hand, this kind of angina he has often committed recently, but the pain just now almost made him unbearable.
It seems that she is going to have a showdown with herself, so she is so silent today.
"What are you thinking?" Yin Zixuan asked casually.
"No! didn't think about anything. An Liran regained his demeanor, withdrew his gaze from the window, and did not see Yin Zixuan's painful expression just now, and his hand covering his heart.
Neither of them spoke, and when they reached the garden, and until they reached the table, they were both silent.
While eating, Yin Zixuan took a bite of the flower roll, suddenly stopped and asked, "Is this what Sister-in-law Li did?"
Sister-in-law Li makes pastries in the back kitchen, and she makes all kinds of flower rolls, steamed buns, and noodles, which have a unique taste and are very delicious.
Because Yin Zixuan and An Liran don't like sweets, she makes all kinds of sugar-free coarse grain snacks, which taste great, so the two of them eat very happily to make up for the regret that they can't eat snacks without sugar.
"It's not Sister-in-law Li, it's a newcomer, Sister-in-law Li said that her daughter-in-law gave birth to a child and went back to see the child. ”
Yin Zixuan put down the flower roll and didn't eat it. Didn't say anything either.
An Liran felt very strange, she had never heard that Sister-in-law Li was going to resign, nor had she heard that her son was getting married.
At night, An Liran was reading a book in the house, and Satsuki came in to pack up her things.
"Xiaoyue, is your mother's illness better?" An Liran suddenly remembered, put down the book and said to her.
"Oh, it's much better, thank you, Miss. Xiao Yue's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, probably because An Liran suddenly asked her mother, she didn't expect it.
"There are five thousand yuan in this card, and the password is six six, you take it and use it first, and then look for me if it is not enough." An Liran gave Xiaoyue the card he had prepared at the bank during the day.
"No, miss. Satsuki seemed to be frightened, and she, who had always been steady, seemed to be a little flustered.
"Although we are master and servant, we are more like sisters, and I have no relatives here, thank you for taking care of me, so don't shirk. In the future, when I have a problem and need your help, you will be obligated to do it, won't you?"
"Thank you then, miss. Xiao Yue took the card and put it in her pocket, An Liran saw that Xiao Yue had tears in her eyes, but she seemed to be trying her best to hide it.
"Sister-in-law Li suddenly quit, is there any difficulty, do you know?"
Xiao Yue, who was wiping the table, suddenly knocked over the teacup, the tea was spilled on the ground, and she hurriedly cleaned it up: "Sister-in-law Li is my fellow countryman, I heard that when she left, she admitted to Steward Liu that she leaked the news to Mrs. said that Mrs. suddenly called to ask about the matter here, and she accidentally said something about Miss An, which brought trouble to the garden, and hoped that Liu Yan would not miss others again. ”
When talking about these things again, Xiao Yue's gaze is very complicated, which makes An Liran unpredictable, maybe she is sorry for her fellow countryman, there must be a job here that is very rare.
Xiaoyue went out, An Liran thought that Yin Zixuan had eaten less, and wanted to go to the back kitchen to get something and make a cup of tea for Yin Zixuan by the way.
He seems to be very unhappy today, and his duty is to wait for him, and he has to do his job well one day here.
"How could Sister-in-law Li do such a thing, she has always done her duty! Knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing their hearts!" This is the sister-in-law in the back kitchen.
"She is an old man here, she knows the rules of the garden better than anyone else, and she must not reveal the things here to the outside, especially the master's side, how could she make such a low-level mistake. "This is Chen's mother.
"Maybe someone has given benefits, but people nowadays are always tempted by benefits. ”
"I always feel that she is not such a person, and she can't afford to betray this place for profit? Which of us has been in trouble all these years, and the young master has not helped? If there is a difficulty, it is good to talk to the young master, why do you sell here?" Chen's mother, who had always been steady, suddenly chattered.
Chen's mother always expressed her belief in Sister-in-law Li, maybe she and Sister-in-law Li get along day and night, and know her personality too well.
"She didn't do it, why would she admit it? Let's be careful in doing things, knowing people and faces, but not hearts. ”
Thinking of that sister-in-law Li, who is steady and generous, and doesn't like words, An Liran also thinks that she won't do such a thing.
"Xiao Wang, come here, this is the recipe left by Sister-in-law Li when she left, they are all the pasta and pastries that the young master loves to eat, you take a good look, the young master didn't eat today's flower rolls." ”
"Okay, I'll learn as soon as possible. "This should be the little king who just came.
An Liran was afraid of disturbing the people inside, so he deliberately put his pace down, so that the people inside could hear that someone was coming.
The people inside really stopped talking, and An Liran walked in: "Mother Chen, are you busy?"
"Don't be busy, what does Miss An have to say?"
"I'll serve tea to the young master and see if there's anything to eat, he doesn't seem to have eaten anything for dinner. ”
"It just so happens that Xiao Wang made glutinous rice and red bean cake, the young master loves to eat it, and I will make tea immediately. ”
When An Liran walked upstairs with tea and pastries, he met Xiaolan coming down with her clothes, and was startled by An Liran because she lowered her head.
"Xiaolan!" An Liran greeted.
"Miss An, shall I help you?" looked at An Liran holding tea and pastries.
"No need!"
"I don't know if the young master is used to eating this red bean cake, but Sister-in-law Li makes it the best. Xiaolan looked at the pastry thoughtfully.
"Sister-in-law Li's craftsmanship is good, but her character is not flattering, being a man is more important than making pastries!" An Liran is just a matter of facts.
"What kind of character is not good, maybe it has been suffered by others!" Xiao Lan, who has always been submissive, blurted out.
"Generations have suffered?" An Liran was shocked.
"Don't listen to me. I saw Xiaolan covering her mouth, watching left and right, and suddenly ran away in a panic.
Looking at her back, An Liran shook her head, this Xiaolan is always so clueless.
When he came to Yin Zixuan's door, he heard that Yin Zixuan was calling, An Liran didn't want to disturb him, and wanted to send it over later.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Yin Zixuan's voice drifted into his ears.
"What do you do with her? I have to talk to her, I don't agree with her. ”
"Don't put pressure on me, I'll say it again, you don't need to interfere in my affairs, otherwise I will leave the company's affairs alone. ”
"Don't let her get hurt in any way! I warn you!" Yin Zixuan hung up the phone.
An Liran stood there stupidly, forgetting to knock on the door.
How come everything has changed lately, everyone here is different from when they came, and the peaceful days have suddenly been destroyed.
An Liran looked at the back garden along the glass, the grape trellis was very lush, and there was no gap in it, so I missed the time when I first came, maybe only that garden was still the original garden.
An Liran knocked on the door, put down the tea and snacks, and saw that Yin Zixuan was full of worries, his handsome eyebrows were locked, and he was busy on the computer.
"Zixuan, eat something, you didn't eat anything for dinner. Yin Zixuan raised his head and saw An Liran, showing some comfort.
"Okay, you can have some food with me. He pretended to be relaxed, and his deep and charming eyes slipped a trace of sadness, but still fell into An Liran's eyes.
"Okay. An Liran picked up a mouthful of glutinous rice and red bean cake with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.
"Are you still used to the taste? Sister-in-law Li is not here, and I probably won't be able to taste that taste again. An Liran suddenly felt a little sad.
"It tastes okay! Seeing An Liran sad, Yin Zixuan was a little heartbroken, this girl is always so sentimental and emotional, Sister-in-law Li must be reluctant to leave her.
Thinking of her so heavy feelings, I was inexplicably relieved, she would not leave her easily, she would be like this to others, a sister-in-law Li who cooked, let alone herself.
Thinking of this smile back on his face, An Liran looked at the smile he hadn't seen for a few days, and suddenly felt weird, as if he was forced to laugh, but his smile made An Liran have the urge to cry.
After the two of them finished using the pastry, An Liran picked up the tea tray and got up to leave.
Yin Zixuan took her hand: "Sit for a while, why do you leave?"
"I see you've been busy just now, you must have work to do. "An Liran is full of tenderness.
"Oh! I do have some things to deal with, and I'll look for you when I'm done. Yin Zixuan glanced at the computer, there was an important acquisition contract recently, and he had to finish it today.
"Okay, you're busy!" An Liran whispered, and gently opened the door for him when he came out.
An Liran packed up his things, put on a cloak, stepped on cloth shoes, and went to the garden alone.
Yin Zixuan was busy on the computer, and finally had some clue about the case, he moved his muscles and bones, stood up and poured a glass of water and walked to the window.
As soon as the water cup was brought to his mouth, he saw An Liran sitting on a stool in the garden, holding his arms in front of his chest, looking lonely in the moonlight, Yin Zixuan remembered that when An Liran first came, although in an unfamiliar environment, her demeanor was very peaceful.
At that time, even if she opened her eyes and saw her strange self, she only stared at her dark eyes, although she was frightened, but she was covered by agility, and although she was resistant, she was covered by curiosity.
Cleverly thinking of countermeasures, clever responses, it was her elf appearance that attracted him deeply.
When did she become so silent?
