"Xiaoyu, you wait for me. On the street, Gu Ruoyao was panting and chasing after Lin Xiaoyou, looking tired.

He came, the senior brother came, thinking that the person who made her heart and mind was in Dragon Cinema City at the moment, Lin Xiaoyou couldn't hear anything, couldn't see anything, only knew that he was desperately shuttling through the crowd, stumbling and running towards Biluoju.

The distance from the palace to Biluoju is not very far, but such a distance makes people feel extremely difficult.

"Childe, you...... Are you here?" The shopkeeper who received Lin Xiaoyu before, looked at Lin Xiaoyou, who had just left and rushed into the door in a hurry, and stepped forward in surprise to greet him.

Seeing him, Lin Xiaoyou's face was overjoyed, he stepped forward and pulled him, and asked anxiously, "Where is ......the person?" Where is he?" she gasped for breath and slurred her speech because she was running so fast.

He was stunned, there are countless customers who come to Biluoju every day, who knows who is asking?

"Lin Xiaoyu, Lin Xiaoyu. Where is he?" Lin Xiaoyou's nose was sour, and he forcibly endured the love in his heart, shaking the shopkeeper and asked.

"Xiaoyou, what are you going to do?" Gu Ruoyao followed in and hurriedly stepped forward to pull her away. It's the princess of the Dragon Shadow Kingdom, even if a woman is dressed as a man, she can't pull and pull with other men at will. Glancing at the hall, fortunately, everyone was eating separately and didn't pay much attention.

Lin Xiaoyu thought about it, shook his head blankly, and replied truthfully: "Childe, as far as the villain knows, there is no guest named Lin Xiaoyu in the store. "Most of the people who come and go on weekdays are acquaintances, and there is no one named Lin Xiaoyu in my impression.

"No, it can't be, he's here, he's here. Lin Xiaoyou shook off Gu Ruoyao in disbelief and ran straight upstairs.

"Xiaoyu. Oops, you get out of the way. Gu Ruoyao unceremoniously pushed away the shopkeeper who was standing in front of her and followed upstairs.

The shopkeeper staggered back a few steps, who did he provoke today, why are they like this! Looking at the people who came upstairs, he pouted helplessly.

Senior brother will never leave her, he is here, he must still be here, Lin Xiaoyou ran up to the third floor with anticipation, and his anxious eyes wandered on the closed doors.

Seeing her unrelenting appearance, Gu Ruoyao comforted, "Xiaoyou, who are you looking for?" You tell me, I'll help you find it." ”

"I found it, I found him. Lin Xiaoyou suddenly pointed to the door of the Tianzi No. 1 private room and said blankly.

Looking, in the direction she pointed, there was nothing but a closed door. Gu Ruoyao frowned and wondered, "What did you find, Xiaoyu?"

"I've found him, and my brother is here. Looking at the traces of the hole left on the door because of saving her, Lin Xiaoyou's words were full of affirmation. Quickly stepped forward and pushed the door open, shouting loudly, "Senior brother." ”

The clear, loud voice did not receive the slightest response in the empty room, except for the strange red concentric knots hanging from the window, dancing in the wind.

"Looking for your senior brother?" Gu Ruoyao looked around and wondered, "Xiaoyu, are you mistaken, there is no one in the house." ”

Lin Xiaoyu's heart sank into the ice cave the moment the door opened, and her eyes looked straight at the red concentric knots flying in front of the window, looking lonely, "No, it's him." If she wasn't sure before, now she's incredibly sure - it's a senior brother. Because of that particular concentric knot, there will be no second one in the world.

"Even if it's your senior brother, then he must have gone away by now. Gu Ruoyao muttered. Lala Lin Xiaoyou complained angrily: "Forget it, Xiaoyou." I know that you won't come out to see your senior brother here, so I want me to say, don't do it. ”

He knew, he knew he would come back to him, or he wouldn't have left a concentric knot here. Growing up, I thought they were the only people in the world who knew each other. Only at this moment did I realize that she was not only wrong, but also outrageously wrong. It's true that Senior Brother understands her, but what about her? Does she really know Senior Brother? If she really did, she wouldn't have missed it today. Lin Xiaoyou forced out a wry smile, "I'm fine, Sister Ruoyao I want to stay by myself for a while." Is that okay?"

Gu Ruoyao sighed and confirmed uneasily: "Are you really okay?"

"It's okay, I just want to be alone. ”

"Alright then, I'm right next door, call me anytime. From the time they met to the present, the two have similar temperaments, and they have never seen her so out of shape, and men really don't have a good thing. Gu Ruoyao was upset for Lin Xiaoyu in her heart, and went out silently and closed the door casually. Although he didn't say anything, he was a little curious. After all, Xiaoyou is Xiahou Yichen's princess, and she blatantly cares about other men in front of Xiahou Yichen, how strange is the relationship between them, it seems that her senior brother is not simple.

"See the county lord. Watching her come out, Dongfan and Beiming, who were guarding outside, stepped forward and saluted.

Turning around and grinning, looking at the person in front of her, Gu Ruoyao was not the slightest surprised, and quipped: "It's coming very fast, why are it just the two of you, your master?"

"Naturally, the master has entered the house. Dong Fan replied respectfully.

Did she come out and see anyone?

Seeing her puzzled look, Bei Ming reminded in a cold voice: "The master wants to enter the house, and it is the same whether there is a door or not." ”

One sentence suddenly made Gu Ruoyao come to her senses, and yes, who is Xiahou Yichen, he really can't understand him with ordinary people's thinking. Speaking of which, this action is fast, and it is no wonder that his princess thinks about other men, and everyone will be anxious, not to mention the high-ranking Prince Chen, it seems that there is a good show. "That's it, since he's here, there's no need for me, the county lord has retired and returned to his house to rest. Gu Ruoyao said, holding her head high and swaggering away.

The two watched her leave, Dongfan sighed, turned his head sideways and asked, "Ming, you say, it should be fine, right?" After Yan Li and his party, the master became more and more interested in the princess, even if he was busy with official duties every day, he always paid attention to the princess's every move. Maybe he didn't realize it himself, but since he was with the princess, his smile was always inadvertently a little more real. After following the master for so many years, it was the first time I saw the arrogant master who always covered up his indifference with a smile and moved his true feelings. originally thought that the two should be a pair made in heaven for talented women, but now the princess's actions not only puzzled him, but also worried.

Bei Ming's brows tightened, and his handsome face, which was as cold as ice, was still expressionless: "Who are you referring to?"

Who is it referring to? Dongfan was stunned, but he couldn't speak, because at this moment, even he didn't know whether it was the worried princess or the worried master, maybe he was worried about the two of them at the same time.

"But I'm worried that the master is intentional, and the princess is ruthless?" Bei Ming's frowning brows loosened, and a word revealed the unknown thoughts in Dong Fan's heart.

Dongfan nodded by default, it is easy to get a person, but it is difficult to get a person's heart. He is worried that not only the princess's ruthlessness will hurt the master, on the contrary, with the unpredictable nature of the master, if he is angered by this, especially if Lin Xiaoyu is involved, he and the princess will inevitably lose both.

Beiming rarely pulled out a shallow smile, and suddenly, his face, which was like a thousand years of frost, melted instantly, "After all, the princess and Lin Xiaoyu are childhood sweethearts' brothers and sisters, and it is reasonable to have such a move." As for the rest, who the master is, you should know very well that about his private affairs, it is better to put all your worries back in your stomach and do our duty. A simple sentence reveals absolute loyalty and trust to Xiahou Yichen.

Facing his disapproving eyes, Dongfan's worries gradually calmed down. Beiming is right, who is the master, of course he knows very well, as long as it is what he wants, there is nothing he can't get. A lot of things, it's not that he can't ask for them, but whether he wants them or not. Not to mention a princess, even the whole world. Thinking of this, Dongfan silently breathed a sigh of relief.

Senior brother, why? Why? Even though she was so close, she refused to come forward to see her, or did he really say that he would never care about her in the future, as he said. If this is the case, then, why did you save her just now? Supporting Gu Ruoyao, Lin Xiaoyu's pretended strength was gone, leaning against the door weakly, his body slowly slipped, curled up and sat on the ground with his head buried, letting the pent-up tears flow freely, silently blending into his clothes bit by bit.

It's been a long time since they've come down the mountain, and they've missed each other every day and night, but they hope to see each other. Now, he came quietly, didn't say anything when he didn't see her, and even returned the concentric knot that he had been with him for many years to her to its original owner. Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoyou only felt a convulsion in her heart, and the pain suffocated her.

"Running in such a hurry, did you come here to think about it behind closed doors?"

A lazy and familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears, Lin Xiaoyou's mind was heavy, and he didn't notice that someone was approaching, and immediately reflexively scolded loudly: "I want you to take care of it." This time he raised his head and looked at the person in front of him and was stunned, Xiahou Yichen, when did he enter the house. After reacting, Lin Xiaoyou quickly reached out and wiped the undried tears on his face.

Xiahou Yichen sat at the table leisurely, supporting his head with his hands, and looked at her playfully. It's just that when he saw the pretty face with red eyes and tears that had not dried up, the corners of his mouth that were originally smiling stiffened, and then he got up and stepped forward, stared at Lin Xiaoyou carefully, and quipped: "The wind in this house is really strong, is it blown into the sand, do you need this king to take a look for you?"

Damn nasty ghost, it's okay to run around and join in the fun. Lin Xiaoyou's heartbeat stagnated slightly for a moment, he didn't dare to look at his wanton appearance like a demon, took a deep breath, and secretly admonished himself to be patient and patient. "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine. ”

"It's okay, it's okay to sit on the ground, fortunately, it's just the two of us here, otherwise people would know about it, and they would think that this king is abusing you. Xiahou Yichen said self-deprecatingly, and pulled her up from the ground without allowing her to resist.

"Well, how did you get in?" Lin Xiaoyou changed the subject at a loss.

Xiahou Yichen smiled disdainfully, and motioned to her with the wide open window next to her, "Isn't it just one room, can you still stump this king?"

"It is really rare for a dignified prince to enter the room through the window in broad daylight. Lin Xiaoyou glanced at him, and his gaze in front of the window suddenly tightened, and the concentric knots that were originally hanging there disappeared at this moment. "What about concentric knots?" As he spoke, he rushed over in three steps and two steps, leaning out half of his body to look out the window.

This is the third floor, not the first floor, seeing her such a dangerous move, Xiahou Yichen stepped forward and quickly pulled her back, and said casually: "Don't look for it, when this king came in just now, he threw it away." ”

"What?" Lin Xiaoyou turned around and shook off his hand, and roared angrily, "Who told you to throw other people's things?"

Xiahou Yichen snorted: "This king just can't get used to seeing such ugly things hanging here, which is out of place and hinders the eyes of this king." ”

"You...... Xiahou Yichen, don't think that you are the prince, I don't dare to ....... Lin Xiaoyou pointed at him, so angry that he couldn't speak.

Facing her angry eyes, Xiahou Yichen was stunned for a moment, and suddenly raised his head and laughed, this was really the funniest joke he had ever heard since he was a child. Lin Xiaoyou didn't provoke him once or twice, but none of them threatened him as bluntly and boldly as now. Tilting his head and looking her up and down, "Lin Xiaoyu, just you, what can you do with this king?"

Listening to his arrogant and disdainful laughter, Lin Xiaoyou's face flushed with anger, if his eyes could kill people, then Xiahou Yichen had already been slashed by her with a thousand knives.

"Knock knock. After only a few knocks, the door was opened, and the shopkeeper entered with four shopkeepers, placed the exquisite dishes and wine on the table in an orderly manner, and then bowed respectfully and retreated.

Before Lin Xiaoyou could figure out what to do, Xiahou Yichen had already sat down by himself, turned his head sideways and said lazily: "Come here, have a drink with this king." ”

Lin Xiaoyou's eyes widened, his gaze swept over Xiahou Yichen blankly, and he asked uncertainly, "Are you calling me?"

"Is there anyone else here?" asked Xiahou Yichen indifferently.

"Drink it yourself, I'm going back. "Throwing away her concentric knots without the slightest remorse, and now drinking here like nothing. Lin Xiaoyou complained secretly in his heart, stared ahead, and prepared to leave. When encountering a scoundrel like Xiahou Yichen, he can only be out of sight and out of mind.

Xiahou Yichen smiled indifferently, "Why, you inexplicably threw down this king and ran here, this king hasn't asked you for guilt, but you have a reason to play your temper first?"

Lin Xiaoyou paused, turned around dissatisfiedly and said: "Don't forget, when we got married, it was agreed in advance, and I have enough freedom to do things when I go out of the house, you can only support, not interfere." ”

"Could it be that this also includes you now openly coming to have a private meeting with your childhood plum foot brother?" Xiahou Yichen played with the wine glass in his hand, raised his eyes and glanced at her, that glance was extremely lazy, like mockery, and seemed to laugh at himself. That casual and uninhibited appearance looks harmless, but there is a sense of crisis that makes people fall into it.

"No...... I....... Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, Lin Xiaoyou just wanted to explain, but the words came to his lips but stopped abruptly. Oh my God, what the hell was she talking about, she was really confused, and Lin Xiaoyu, who reacted, was annoyed.

It's not that she doesn't want to explain, it's that she can't explain the current situation at all. Although the two are married by agreement, she now occupies the position of the princess after all. didn't consider Xiahou Yichen's position, it was inappropriate to go to the restaurant to find his senior brother in front of everyone, and now he still mentioned the original agreement to him, which is obviously getting darker and darker. So embarrassed, no wonder he was upset.

Lin Xiaoyou's thoughts turned a thousand times, and suddenly, a lightning bolt appeared in her mind, and she took a step forward in astonishment, and asked urgently, "Do you know my senior brother?" The hopeful question suddenly brightened the expression on her face, and she was almost like the one who had just lost her.

That person really made her care so much? Xiahou Yichen raised his head, his brows slightly furrowed, and he didn't know when he was dyed with a layer of frosty cold anger. The two stared at each other intently, Lin Xiaoyou waited for his answer seriously, completely ignoring the inadvertent change.

"Really don't have a drink? or don't you dare, huh?" staring for a while, Xiahou Yichen didn't answer her question directly. Under Lin Xiaoyu's gaze, he slowly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a bright and weird smile like a poppy. The extreme changes of hot and cold are completely unpredictable.

Lin Xiaoyou secretly exhaled a sigh of relief, and finally lost the battle. Gritted his teeth and stepped forward to sit next to him.

Seeing her sit down, Xiahou Yichen immediately handed over the wine glass in his hand. "Eighteen years of ageing, it's too boring to drink alone. ”

Before Lin Xiaoyou could say anything about refusal, Xiahou Yichen said again: "I still remember that when I was newly married, the princess ignored the rules and drank alone in the courtyard, she is not a person who can't drink." The low and evil voice dispelled Lin Xiaoyou's desire to refuse.

It's really bewitching, and she can see through what she thinks at a glance. Lin Xiaoyou pursed his lips, but he didn't resist, picked up the wine glass handed over by Xiahou Yichen, raised his head and drank it all. Since you can't escape it, it's better to have a good time than to twist it.

"Ahem, ahem. "I drank too much for a while, and I was choked and coughed out. Although I can drink alcohol, it is limited to a few slow drinks, which is not a large amount.

Xiahou Yichen's smiling eyes showed a hint of surprise, "Although this wine is not as sweet as soju, it is much more mellow and rich than Baihuadrunk." Eat something, wine is the most taboo glass. The seductive smile revealed a tenderness that even he had not noticed, and he said that he would fill a glass for himself.

Lin Xiaoyou nodded, Xiahou Yichen was right, this wine is rich and fragrant in the mouth, without the hotness of soju, nor like the bitterness of ordinary wine. After drinking it, I felt the low power of alcohol spreading through my body. With just one glass, her delicate cheeks quickly became flushed with wine.

If he is happy to drink with him, will he tell him about his brother's whereabouts? Lin Xiaoyou had actually eaten a lot before, and now listening to Xiahou Yichen's words, he still obediently ate two small bites of dishes, but his mind was not on the table at all. looked at Xiahou Yichen, who was in high spirits, and hesitated to speak.

"I didn't have lunch, and the king was really a little hungry. Xiahou Yichen glanced at Lin Xiaoyu meaningfully, eating slowly and methodically, and his movements were extremely elegant.

After a few cups in a row, Lin Xiaoyu's mind began to be a little trance, rubbing his forehead and trying to stay awake, thinking about Xiahou Yichen's words, what he implied was, was he warning her not to disturb his Yaxing?

In the end, it is Xiahou Yichen, who always speaks and does things without leakage. Every time her thoughts came to her mind and before she could say them, he cut them off without a trace as if he knew them in advance. Lin Xiaoyou smiled slightly, her flushed cheeks were a little more delicate than the usual plain and elegant, and she was indescribably tempting. He drank it all in one gob, and then shook the empty wine glass twice at Xiahou Yichen.

Xiahou Yichen looked at Lin Xiaoyu's movements with a smile, knowing that her wine strength was starting to rise, "You are not in good health yet, so don't drink it." ”

"The two of them are only happy to drink, the prince just asked me to drink with you, why did you change your mind in a blink of an eye. Looking at the extra figure in front of him, Lin Xiaoyou shook his head vigorously, refilled himself in a daze, and stretched out his hand to fill Xiahou Yichen's wine glass. "If you want to drink, then don't get drunk and don't go home. As he spoke, he didn't listen to the movements of his hands, and he shook for a long time and couldn't find the exact cup to pour the wine.

"Princess, you're drunk. I thought it would be harmless for her to drink a little, but who knew that she was so incapable of drinking. Xiahou Yichen shook his head, took Lin Xiaoyu's hand holding the pot, and helped her find the position of her wine glass and pour the wine, and then stopped.

"Princess?" As soon as he heard this title, Lin Xiaoyou raised his eyes in confusion, smiled lowly, and muttered, "No, I'm not the princess, I'm Lin Xiaoyou." ”

She didn't get drunk, she knew, she was neither a princess nor a princess, she was just Lin Xiaoyou, a disciple of the master, and a senior brother's younger sister. Only this identity is what she has.

From childhood to adulthood, the twelve years of being dependent on her master and brother on the mountain have almost become the whole of her life. She doesn't yearn for glory, nor does she covet power, but since she was taken back to the Lin Mansion, she has become a caged bird and a pawn in the hands of others for no reason. Looking at the faces of those people who forced their mothers and sons by unscrupulous means, and watching their mother, who had been humiliated and endured for 12 years, commit suicide in front of her eyes, she was only disappointed in Ronghua's power.

"Not the princess?" Listening to Lin Xiaoyu's conflicting words, Xiahou Yichen's eyes instantly deepened a little.

Now, Lin Xiaoyu's whole person felt like he was in a sea of fire, his whole body was soft and weak, and the qiē in front of him began to blur crookedly. Ignoring Xiahou Yichen's question, he said to himself: "Do you know? That concentric knot was given to him when I was ten years old. The town under the mountain has to hold a temple fair every year, that day I sneaked down the mountain to join in the fun, an old woman taught me to do, my mother-in-law said: hang the same heart, walk together forever, a lifetime of a couple. At that time, I didn't understand much, so what was the use of asking her? It's been seven years, and he's never left. ”

Needless to say, the one in her words is naturally Lin Xiaoyu. The corners of Xiahou Yichen's mouth hooked up a shallow smile, and the feelings in his heart were inexplicably melancholy. "Come on, prepare a bowl of ginger soup. ”

"I'm not drunk. Lin Xiaoyou waved his hand weakly, trying to keep his eyes open, supporting the dizzy sleepiness.

It's really disobedient even if you're already drunk like this. Looking at Lin Xiaoyu's drunken and moving appearance, Xiahou Yichen frowned, got up and wanted to help her to rest on the couch in the inner room.

Lin Xiaoyou got up with a drunken face, raised his head and looked at the bottomless black eyes, the phoenix eyes were charming, reflecting a strange elegance. She stared at him in a daze, and suddenly grabbed him, and asked, "Why don't you see me? Why?

The dead woman, who knew that she shouldn't have been allowed to drink, sold him today, not to mention, and treated him as Lin Xiaoyu every time. Xiahou Yichen took advantage of the situation to take her into his arms, and decided very angrily: after she woke up, she would look good.

"Beiming, prepare the car to go home. I wanted to wait for her to feel better before returning home, but now it seems that her drunk Cheng Dù will not be able to sober up for a while.
