Chen Linci didn't dare to expect too much, he subconsciously turned around and came to the inn, in order not to make Zhao Yiran change his mind, Chen Linci just felt that when he was by the small lake, there were a lot of words that had not been said clearly, he could accept Zhao Yiran's attitude, but he didn't want to be so confused, even if it was good to get together and disperse, some words in his heart at least needed to be talked about clearly.

When he was by the small lake, Zhao Yiran asked Chen Linci several times if he had anything to say to her, Chen Linci didn't react, and even in the end, Zhao Yiran took the initiative to ask the sentence Senior Brother Chen, do you like me, Chen Linci hesitated and said that he should like it, until the mountains and rivers were not as beautiful as you, Zhao Yiran was always asking and talking, and no word was proposed by Chen Linci.

Chen Linci felt that this was wrong, this was very bad, so the first thing he said when he came to the inn and saw Zhao Yiran was Senior Sister Zhao, Chen Linci likes you.

But what's the use of liking?

Chen Linci was stunned for a long time, then looked at Zhao Yiran and said slowly: "Perhaps, it's useless, but do you like it to be useful?"

Zhao Yiran thought for a while and said, "Senior Brother Chen, do you know what it means to be liked. ”

Chen Lin replied: "I like it, my eyes are full of you, when I see you, I am full of joy, and when I don't see you, I think of you in my mind." ”

Zhao Yiran said: "But Senior Brother Chen, you are full of joy, but it is not only Yiran himself. ”

Chen Linci was silent.

Zhao Yiran continued: "Senior Brother Chen, don't you think your liking is too shallow?"

Chen Linci opened and closed, and stopped talking.

"I like it, everything wants to make the other party good, as long as the other party is happy, there is nothing for me to be wronged, even if it is lonely and cold, even if it is to give up and hide in the bottom of my heart, there is nothing. Zhao Yiran said lightly: "Senior Brother Chen, Yiran likes you, your life shouldn't be busy, although Chu State is good, it is not a place for Dapeng to spread its wings after all, Yiran is just an ordinary woman, I don't want to delay your life because of my own selfish feelings." ”

Chen Linci said from the bottom of his heart: "Senior Sister Zhao, if you say that you are ordinary, then the other girls in Chu State will not all die of shame one by one. ”

"But in the end...... It's still a little inferior to Sister Luo. ”

Zhao Yiran looked up at the bright moon in the night sky, and his words were full of loneliness and coldness.

She is just a faint one of the billions of stars, and she is occasionally lucky to be adjacent to the bright moon, so how dare she think of having that brightness?

Naturally, they are unwilling, but what can they do?

Zhao Yiran looked at Chen Linci and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Chen, it's not too early, Yiran is a little tired." ”

Chen Linci muttered, "Senior Sister Zhao......"

"Needless to say. Zhao Yiran stood up and said: "The days of this life are long, what is the matter, the mountains and rivers will be far away in the future, and I will talk about it slowly." ”

With that, he turned back to his boudoir, closed the door, and extinguished the candle.

Chen Linci was in the courtyard for a long time before he reluctantly turned around and prepared to leave the inn and return to the Starry Night Academy.

Unexpectedly, at the door of the inn, he saw the white-haired old Dean Zhao again.

"Old Dean. Chen Lin saluted and said hello.

Old Dean Zhao sighed and said, "Housheng, you have walked so many roads with Yiran during the day, if you don't dislike it,

Take a walk with me, a bad old man. ”

"It's an honor for the younger generations. Chen Linci said respectfully.

Old Dean Zhao walked on the road, stroked his beard, and said softly: "Housheng, the old man will tell you a story." ”

Chen Linci walked beside Dean Zhao and responded in a low voice: "The juniors listen to me. ”

Dean Zhao smiled and said: "Many, many years ago, there was a young man who was born in a small mountain village in a remote state and county in the Chu State, and when he was seven or eight years old, he had already lost his parents, and he grew up with the help of the people in the village. ”

"At that time, the state of Chu had already entered the late stage of the Hongxi era. Years of conquest caused the whole country to be very tired, Hong Xiye gradually found the problem, so he began to pay attention to the imperial examination and culture, up and down, and soon the entire Chu country began to be proud of being a scholar, the village chief saw that I was a good seedling, hoping to win glory for the whole village, so he went door to door to collect money for the teenager to be admitted to the best academy in Qingyuan County at that time. ”

"The boy studied in the academy for a year, only to know the depth of the world's great knowledge, so he forgot to sleep and eat, and the cultural level also grew rapidly in that year, and soon became famous in Qingyuan County. ”

"The Su family has a great cause, it is the emperor of Qingyuan County, Miss Su Qinglian is both talented and beautiful, and she is a cultivator who understands the stars, and she is a fairy figure in the dreams of countless men, but she is such an excellent woman, but she fell in love with the poor boy from the mountain village at the lantern festival, Old Man Su is a face-saving figure, naturally he will not allow this kind of thing to happen, so he gave a death order and locked Su Qinglian in the small courtyard, as long as Su Qinglian has any contact with the young man, he will cut off his father-daughter relationship. ”

Where can the young man bear to see his sweetheart suffer like this, he gritted his teeth and left Qingyuan County, came to Yingtian City, and vowed to get ahead and mix up, so that the old lady Su was impressed, and won and married Su Qinglian with dignity, sure enough, the young man studied hard, and once the title of the gold list of the imperial examination, he became the champion of that year, His Majesty the Emperor personally gave the marriage and wanted to call him as a concubine, Her Royal Highness the princess was born like a flower and jade, and it was false to say that he was not moved, but the young man who had become the champion Lang never dared to forget, thousands of miles away in Qingyuan County, there was a girl named Su Qinglian waiting for him, but if he did not obey the order, it would be against the face of the heavenly family, for his future, must also have a great impact, for a while, the young man who had just been proud, immediately fell into sorrow and trouble. ”

"What did the young man do later?" Hearing this, the fool could also hear that the young man in Dean Zhao's mouth was himself back then, Chen Linci had actually guessed the end of the story in his heart, and he had never heard that Dean Zhao had the identity of the master of the horse, so the last choice he made must be the eldest lady of the Su family. ”

Sure enough, Dean Zhao continued: "Later, the young man resisted the order, but Hong Xiye not only did not blame, but also praised it, and ordered to personally witness the marriage of the young man, and the young man returned to his hometown in fine clothes, but did not return to his village immediately, but rode a high-headed horse to the Su Mansion in Qingyuan County, personally took the Miss Su family out of the yard, and helped the horse, the arrogant and domineering Su family master did not say a word at this time, just on the side

His face was full of flattering smiles. ”

"The young man Lang is proud of the spring breeze and is famous, this story of a talented and beautiful woman has been rumored to be a good story for a while, but few people care about how much the princess who was married by Hong Xiye has endured behind her back, she is the daughter of the king of a country, a natural phoenix, but she was used as the background board in someone else's story, and became the character who was abandoned, for her, it was too unfair. ”

The old dean Zao Wou-Ki stopped at this point and looked at Chen Linci beside him, Chen Linci nodded hurriedly, and said in a deep voice: "The princess has not done anything wrong, but she has become a supporting role in someone else's story, which is indeed unfair." ”

The old dean Zao Wou-Ki smiled and said, "That young man's name is Zao Wou-ki, Miss Su Family, and he is Yiran's grandmother who has passed away, this is my story. ”

Chen Linci nodded silently.

Old Dean Zhao asked earnestly, "Housheng, you know what I mean." ”

Chen Linci continued to nod, still silent.

Old Dean Zhao said: "The old man is different from his father-in-law, he likes you, and I admire you very much, but I don't want my baby granddaughter to become a supporting role in anyone's story, even if it is the young lady of Tianbo Mansion." ”

"The juniors understand. Chen Linci responded with sincere fear.

Old Dean Zhao continued: "You are still young now, if you can still make a firm choice between the two after meeting Miss Yang in the future, you will come over again at that time, and the old man will give you an answer on behalf of Yiran." ”

"Thank you, old dean. Chen Lin bowed and said.

It was getting late, and the words that should have been said had almost been finished, and the old dean Zhao returned to the inn, and Chen Linci stopped outside the gate of the inn for a long time, and then turned around and left here.

He didn't go back to Starry Night Academy, nor did he go back to the small courtyard that Jin Zihui had prepared for him in the Changle Gang, but went to the courtyard he rented not far from Starry Night Academy.

Those students of the Sixth Academy, except for the Greedy Wolf Academy, which still has no one to come this year, the students of the other five courtyards have already come to Yingtian City, in addition to the Fifth Academy, there are hundreds of students from other large and small forests in the Chu State who have also moved into the city, and tomorrow, it will be the time for the sect to select new disciples.

As early as the Tiandao Academy's contemplation of the Divine Stone, such as Shen Haoyuan, Zhu Shaoqing, Lu Yuanhao and others have been accepted in advance by the Zhongzhou faction, Qingshan Sect, these famous sects, at that time, the Great Chan Temple also threw an olive branch to Chen Linci, but was rejected by Chen Linci because he couldn't stand the rules and precepts of those Buddhist sects, a few days ago in the conversation with Yuan Jiaoxi, Chen Linci wanted to join Confucianism, but the Confucian Dojo did not directly recruit disciples in the academy, Chen Linci had no choice but to give up, in fact, until today, Chen Linci did not think about which sect he should go to。

......

......

As soon as it was dawn the next day, Chen Linci got up early to wash, changed into new clothes, and walked out of the small courtyard.

Looking at the red sun and white clouds in the sky, and seeing a few young eagles shuttling among the clouds, Chen Linci took a breath of fresh air, and suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

His eyes looked at the young eagles again, and his heart was full of emotion.

Eagles and falcons are all trying their wings, when will they be on the clouds?
