Song Linyuan originally intended to redeem this woman named Su Yue from Zuichun Building and give her a free body, but a game of chess played with her in the house that day made him understand a lot of things.

People say that when you play chess with someone, you can see all the people in a game of chess. Her chess path was decisive, and she did not hesitate to abandon her pawn, rushing forward without hesitation, and never even left half of the back road. If she is intercepted halfway, she will damage you a few points even if she fights. This kind of chess skill is definitely not something that you can learn by yourself, and it is impossible for it to come from the hands of a woman in the dust. He seemed to remember something, as if he had unintentionally swept her calloused hand, and his eyes were dark and deep.

The secret guard raised in the mansion was not raised for nothing, and it didn't take long to bring him back and want news. He originally thought that most of the killers in Mingyue Pavilion were extremely evil people with cruel methods and gloomy personalities, but he didn't expect that it was just such a woman. However, the countless cases in which the ministers of the DPRK and China died at his hands also made him careless, and in this way, the pity for Su Yue in his heart slowly disappeared. He thought at that time that this might be an opportunity, he could borrow her hand and get rid of Mingyue Pavilion.

So he began to be kind to her, sending her all kinds of fun and strange things, caring for her to everything, and he could sense that her attitude was slowly changing. Song Linyuan thought that even if she was a killer, she was a woman after all, and there was no woman who didn't want someone to be good to her.

His plan proceeded step by step as expected, and it was only a little bit away from being able to carry it out smoothly, but that day on the water, she blocked the sword that should have fallen on him for him, but it made his heart shake.

He has never been a soft-hearted person, and in the four years of his life in the border area, killing people and drinking blood is a common thing, and later he lived in the court, and he never hesitated when it came to human life. But that day he held her in his arms, and when he looked down, he could see that her face was terrifyingly pale, and she was still gritting her teeth and not saying a word despite being so badly injured, but her face was still as calm and quiet as stagnant water, as if the blood was not hers. He suddenly remembered the cold look in her eyes, which was always rejecting, and suddenly felt a little powerless.

He thought, how much suffering and grievance did this person suffer to develop such a cold and stubborn temperament? She didn't know how to shout when she was hurt and in pain, but she gritted her teeth and couldn't bear it, which made people feel distressed.

Song Linyuan felt that a certain emotion in his heart was gradually growing, making his defense gradually collapse, and even for a moment he thought that his kindness to her these days was not a play, but a real thing.

He thought, he was afraid that he was really doing a fake play, and he would not be able to get out of the play.

When Song Yi sent a few new pieces of silk, Su Yue's injuries were almost healed, and he saw that she always wore white clothes, and felt that it was too monotonous, so he specially chose a big red cloth and let people send it to her yard. But when he came back from the palace at night, he saw her maid Xiaohe standing in the outer hall, holding a piece of cloth, looking aggrieved.

He recognized that it was the one he had sent, and he was puzzled at the moment, but before he could speak, the girl saw him sharp-eyed, and took a few steps forward to salute him: "Master Hou, you are back!"

He nodded, his gaze swept over the things in Xiaohe's arms: "What's the matter?"

Xiaohe glanced at the fabric in her arms, and her face was full of helplessness: "Miss Suyue asked me to return this fabric, and the slave didn't dare to make decisions without permission, so she came to ask Master Hou."

Song Linyuan was stunned: "Why not?"

"The girl said that the color was not good, it was like blood, and it was bad to wear it on the body as a garment." Xiaohe muttered in a low voice, "I really don't know what the girl thinks, it's so good-looking." After speaking, he looked up at him who was slightly stunned, "Master Hou, what should I do with this thing?" ”

He came back to his senses, looked down at the big red cloth, was silent for a long time, and said, "Since you think it looks good, I'll reward it to you."

Xiaohe's eyes widened, and his face was incredulous. He looked at it and thought it was funny: "What, don't?"

"No, no, no!" Xiaohe hurriedly shook his head, tightened the things in his arms, and retreated with a smile, for fear that he would regret it after a while, "Thank you for the reward, the slave will retire first!" ”

He watched Xiaohe's figure fade into the night, and he could still hear her humming out of tune from afar. Sixteen or seventeen years old should have been an innocent age, but he suddenly remembered the woman with cold eyebrows and eyes, remembered how the secret guard said that she became a killer, how she survived the bloody wind to get to where she is today, remembered that she always wore a clean white dress, and remembered that she said that red was like blood......

It was as if something had been quietly planted in his heart, and then gradually took root and grew into a lush tree.

Among the many people he has seen in the past 20 years, she is the only one who is special. Cold, stubborn, trained to be a killer since childhood, his hands are stained with blood and his heart is cold, but he will show a childlike simple and clean smile.

This woman, who is often dressed in white, is obviously a killer but hates to see blood, she was entrusted to kill him, but she accidentally stumbled into his heart. He didn't fall in love with her at first sight, it took more than half a month from pity to wanting to take advantage of it, and then to liking it now. Some people may say that half a month is too short, but he feels that the so-called long-term love is just two meandering rivers that slowly flow to the same sea, and he and her just met in advance.

What's more, he felt very sorry for her.

She is a killer, she has no carefree childhood, and her most beautiful age has been soaked in blood, and she has developed such a seemingly indifferent temperament, but it is actually the protection of herself. She looks strong, but she is a woman after all, and the stronger a woman is, the more she must be cherished. He didn't know how Su Yue felt about him, but he wanted to give her a happy and carefree life, let her throw away those indifferent people who rejected people, and like an ordinary woman, she would cry and laugh, and she would be happy and angry.
