23. Chapter 23
However, in a short period of time, the Luo family sent most of the people to investigate this person named Tang Ze, but after some searching, there was no result.
And just when Luo Yi was anxious to know the truth, the eldest young master of the Chu family had already come.
Chu Shiyan wanted to come to Luo's house, which was something that had been said before, although Luo Yi was not very welcome, he had to welcome him into Luo's house, and after the two exchanged pleasantries, Chu Shiyan finally asked Ye Xiangshen about it. It has been more than ten days since the two clashed that day, Luo Yi has never gone to Ye Xiangshen again, and Ye Xiangshen will never take the initiative to find Luo Yi, so the two have not met for more than ten days, and when they heard Chu Shiyan say this, Luo Yi finally instructed Nantang next to him: "Go and call Ye Xiangshen." ”
Nantang nodded, looked at Luo Yi's expression carefully, and then turned around to call someone.
Not long after, Ye Xiangshen was taken to the house.
I don't know if it's because I haven't seen him for many days, Luo Yi looked at Ye Xiangshen who came in the door, and always felt that he seemed to be thinner than a few days ago, wearing a white robe on his body, which looked extremely thin. She frowned slightly, thinking of what the other party said to herself that day, she couldn't say anything of concern, so she could only turn her head and muffle and say, "Sit down." ”
She then said to Chu Shiyan, "If you have anything to say, say it quickly, Ye Xiangshen still has to look at the group of children in the academy, they are very busy." ”
She instinctively didn't want Ye Xiangshen to have too much contact with Chu Shiyan, although Chu Shiyan looked unruly, but he was an old fox in his bones, and it was not a good thing to have too much contact.
However, Chu Shiyan laughed, and raised his eyebrows with dissatisfaction: "We are also childhood playmates, we haven't seen each other for so long, so we can't talk more?" He leaned back in the chair, played with a fan that he found out of nowhere, and recalled: "Speaking of which, I often came to Luo's house as a guest back then, and at that time, it was Brother Ye who took the two of us to run around the entire Qiancheng and play everywhere we could, do you remember that gambling house?" It's the one opposite the Qinglou, we won't gamble at that time, and we went in to play and was pulled to play for a while, but I didn't expect that we won a lot of silver taels back, and then my father knew, and sent someone to chase me for two streets. ”
He laughed loudly as he spoke, but the room was very quiet, Ye Xiangshen was contemplating with his eyes down, as if he was practicing meditation, and Luo Yi looked at him with a cold face.
He insisted on laughing the last two times, coughed lightly, and then said to Ye Xiangshen: "But how did Brother Ye change so much from back then? I almost didn't recognize it." ”
"With so much time going on, something is going to change. Ye Xiangshen smiled faintly.
"Change isn't a bad thing either. Chu Shiyan laughed, and then said, "I still want to go to that academy to have a look, I remember that I also stayed here for a few days back then, and Old Master Ye also taught me, so I just went to meet him." ”
When he said this, Luo Yi couldn't stop it, so he could only agree. The group went to the academy again, looked at Ye Fuzi, and exchanged a few words, the atmosphere between the three of them was extremely stiff, but Chu Shiyan seemed to have no feeling, and said to himself alone, until it was not early in the evening, and everyone began to have dinner.
During the banquet, everyone had a cup in front of them, but Luo agreed, but he whispered to his subordinates to remove the wine glass in front of Ye Xiangshen.
Ye Xiangshen was slightly stunned, and looked at Luo Yi silently.
Luo Yi avoided Ye Xiangshen's gaze to show that he was still angry.
Chu Shiyan saw this movement, and couldn't help but change his eyes slightly, and then said with a smile: "What to withdraw, such a good situation, naturally you have to drink a few cups." ”
Chu Shiyan motioned to the subordinate to put the cup back again, Ye Xiangshen was silent and did not speak, and let the subordinate fill the wine glass, and then raised the cup.
Luo Yi frowned slightly, but his eyes kept falling on Ye Xiangshen's body. Seeing that Ye Xiangshen was about to drink the glass of wine, Luo Yi finally couldn't hold back, got up and grabbed Ye Xiangshen's wrist.
Luo Yi's palm was slightly hot, Ye Xiangshen seemed to be stiff for a moment, and raised his eyes to look at Luo Yi. Luo Yi still kept the action of clasping his hand unchanged, and only turned back to Chu Shiyan and said, "He can't drink, Young Master Chu, I'll just drink this glass of wine with you." ”
When Chu Shiyan heard this, his expression changed a little, but he didn't say much, so he smiled and nodded again, and drank wine with Luo Yi, and the three of them sat down again and chatted. waited until the end, Luo Yi asked people to send Chu Shiyan to the guest room to rest, and Chu Shiyan said: "Xiaoyi, why don't you walk a few steps with me?"
Luo Yi was a little impatient in her eyes, but the person who came was always a guest, so she had to nod, but she didn't forget to send someone to send Ye Xiangshen back.
In fact, it was only a few steps from the academy to Luo's house, Ye Xiangshen glanced at the two of them, and said that he could go back alone, so he left the house, leaving only Luo Yi and Chu Shiyan. Luo Yi stared at Ye Xiangshen's back as he left, and his eyes gradually sank. She was angry in her heart, but she couldn't find a chance to vent it, Ye Xiangshen was like an old monk who had settled down, and it was better to be angry with him than with a pile of wood.
Luo Yi thought of this, and couldn't help but get angrier and angrier the more he thought about it.
"Xiaoyi?" Chu Shiyan didn't know what was going on between Luo Yi and Ye Xiangshen, so he only opened his mouth and called softly.
Luo Yi turned his head to look at Chu Shiyan, and paused for a moment before he lowered his voice and said, "Young Master Chu, let's go." ”
The two of them went to the guest room together, this road is not long, but it still takes a lot of time to walk, Luo Yi just wants to send people over quickly, walking very fast, who knows that Chu Shiyan does not mean to be in a hurry, it is really like a walk after dinner, walking leisurely, until Luo Yi left him a long way, she finally turned around: "Are you going to go until tomorrow morning?"
Hearing this, Chu Shiyan couldn't help but laugh: "You still speak in such a rushing tone." ”
"It depends on the person. Luo Yi replied casually.
Chu Shiyan knew that Luo Yi had always had a prejudice against him, so he just smiled, he didn't continue to move forward, but stopped.
Luo Yi said: "What's wrong with you?"
Chu Shiyan stood in the corridor, the dim light shadow fell on his cheeks, and there was a soft smile in his eyes, which was like two people in the daytime.
Luo Yi had never seen Chu Shiyan like this, so soft that there seemed to be no edges and corners.
Chu Shiyan said: "The little nerd is not dead, I'm really happy." ”
"Hmm. Luo Yi responded, knowing his thoughts in his heart, "You don't have to bear the responsibility of killing a person, you are happy." ”
Chu Shiyan shook his head and sighed: "Xiaoyi, why can't you always understand, you are not the only one who misses those days in the past." He raised his face, his eyes reflecting the color of the lamp, "And if the little nerd is dead, I will never be as good as him in your heart, and if he is not dead, then it is not necessarily." ”
Luo Yi looked at Chu Shiyan in silence.
Chu Shiyan smiled as if he was innocent, he stepped forward and approached Luo Yi slightly.
It's just that Luo Yi didn't let him continue to get closer, she turned her back to Chu Shiyan and said, "Sometimes I really can't tell how many truths and how many lies you have said." After she said this, she didn't wait for Chu Shiyan to follow, but only said lightly: "I'll let Beiyan take you to the guest room." ”
With that, she left the place.
After returning to the room, Luo Yi could not sleep for a long time.
She has been thinking about what kind of truth Ye Xiangshen can't tell her for the past few days, but this matter is too complicated, she has no clue at all, even if she wants to figure it out, there is no direction. It is impossible to ask Ye Xiangshen directly, and another direction is to start with the person named Tang Ze, but where is Tang Ze, she still has no news. However, the only thing she can be sure of is that there must be a reason for this qiē, although she has many things that she can't be sure, the only thing that she can be sure of is that Ye Xiangshen will not do anything to hurt her.
She always believed in this for no reason.
She leaned her cheeks by the window and looked at the light outside the house, her eyes widened and she didn't feel sleepy, but suddenly she heard a slight noise.
It was late at night, and the people of the Luo family knew her habits and would not come to disturb her, and the sound did not come from the Luo family, but from outside.
Loe looked sideways at the high wall not far away.
At the other end of the wall is the Academy.
When he was young, in order to be able to run back and forth from the Luo family and the academy frequently, Luo Yi specially asked to move this courtyard, which was only separated from the academy by a wall, and the other end of the wall was where Ye Xiangshen lived. She has been looking at the academy through the wall countless times these days, but she finally restrained herself from going over to see Ye Xiangshen, but it was so late, there was a sound from the other end, and Luo Yi couldn't help but feel a little impatient in her heart.
His thoughts began to come to mind, and Luo Yi kept thinking in his heart what that sound was, was it the sound of the night wind blowing the leaves? Or was it that Ye Xiangshen was so late that he hadn't slept like her?
Why didn't he sleep? Could it be that he had something on his mind?
Luo Yi thought of Ye Xiangshen's glance when he left, that bland look, it seemed that for him, it didn't matter who she was walking with.
Luo Yi frowned slightly, thought for a long time, and before she could figure out what was going on, she heard the voice come again, this time she heard it clearly, it was the sound of footsteps.
The footsteps shouldn't have been so obvious, but now that it was late at night and there was silence all around, the slight footsteps were very noticeable.
Luo Yi couldn't hold it anymore, and as soon as he put his hand on the edge of the window, he turned over directly out of the room and jumped onto the wall. She was afraid that someone would find out, so she was very careful, and only secretly popped out a head and lay on the wall.
From that angle, she quickly took in the scene on the other side of the academy.
As far as the eye can see, there is a bright warm fire in the courtyard.
Ye Xiangshen really hadn't slept yet, the window of his room was not closed, and Luo Yi saw at a glance that he was sitting under the window with his clothes on, with an oil lamp on the table, and he was looking down to write something.
But after a few strokes, he paused again, crumpled the piece of paper, and it was still on the side.
There were also a few paper balls on the ground, which seemed to have been written by him before, and Luo Yi didn't know what he was writing, so he looked at it quietly, and was a little stunned for a while.
And Ye Xiangshen, who was originally writing something, didn't know if he felt Luo Yi's gaze, so he suddenly raised his head and looked at Luo Yi.
Half a yard away, the two of them looked at each other so defenselessly.
Luo Yi shrank his head a little guiltily, wanting to pretend that he had not peeked at Ye Xiangshen. However, as soon as she did this, she became dissatisfied in her heart, and the wrong person was not her, why did she hide it like this. Her heart moved, and she simply turned over and sat on the wall, intending to see how Ye Xiangshen would respond.
However, she had barely turned over and sat down when she crashed into the arms of a man.
Ye Xiangshen didn't know when he also jumped onto the wall, Luo Yi's face rubbed his light clothes, and even felt his slightly warm body temperature through the clothes.
Ye Xiangshen seemed to be stunned, retreated a little by half a point, and explained a little helplessly: "I thought you had fallen." ”
Luo Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at him thoughtfully.
