Chapter Forty-Eight: Cowards

There are several cabinets full of clothes, but at this moment, Xuan Yue can't find a suitable, usually cherished Luo skirt gown, now I feel that either the color does not match, or the style is old-fashioned, holding a few sets of comparisons, and finally selected a goose yellow wisp gold butterfly dark pattern brocade jacket, with a smoke pink scattered flower lily skirt, wearing plain white hibiscus brocade shoes, elegant and playful.

Xuan Yue's already perfect facial features are more delicate today, her chestnut hair is solemnly and carefully combed into a fairy bun, a begonia hibiscus hosta is inserted in her hair, and she selects a string of jade bracelets of the same color from the dresser to put on.

Looking in the mirror for a long time, he was still not at ease, so he pulled Bitong next to him and asked, "Is it good-looking?" ”

"Ouch, my young lady, you are a natural beauty embryo, how can there be any reason why you are not good-looking, not to mention in my opinion, in the eyes of the commander, he will feel like a fairy when you wear rags and sackcloth!"

"You stinky girl, where did you learn to be so flamboyant, it seems that you have to find a good person to marry you quickly, and take care of your sharp mouth."

"Miss wants to marry off the slave maid, and she has to wait for Miss to marry the Lord Commander first!"

"Okay, you Bitong, see if I don't clean you up!" Xuan Yue said that she was about to tickle her, but Bi Tong squeezed her eyebrows and ran away.

After arguing with the maid in a good mood, and repeatedly making sure that the makeup and clothing were correct, Xuan Yue walked out of the door satisfied.

When I came to the left hall, I saw the dining table arranged by the servants, and I still felt that it was not perfect, so I personally arranged each bowl and plate neatly to the point before I sat down with peace of mind.

Yan Rujin and Xuan Shao slowly walked into the dining room, and Xuan Yue stood up and owed a debt: "Mother, brother, you are here." ”

"Our eldest lady is really beautiful today, and it is different to have an important visitor!" Xuan Shao pulled out the chair for his mother, and by the way, he didn't forget to joke about his sister, and deliberately dragged the word "important" for a long time.

Xuan Yue was told that she was on her mind, and she lowered her head shyly and whispered: "How can it be so exaggerated, my brother is used to making fun of me." "I didn't forget to sneak a peek at my mother.

Yan Rujin didn't say much, only smiled approvingly at Xuan Yue.

"It's time to make the appointment, it's almost time to come." Xuan Shao looked in the direction of the corridor in the front hall.

However, time passed minute by minute, and Wei Chixin never appeared.

Xuan Yue's mood changed from initial anticipation to anxiety. Xuan Shao also said in a low voice: "It's strange, the letter has always been the most punctual, what's wrong today?" Only their mother, Yan Rujin drank tea leisurely, and her eyes seemed to be calm.

The cold tea on the table was refilled several times, and nearly an hour had passed since the appointed time. At this time, Yan Rujin calmly said to Xuan Yue: "It seems that Wei Chixin will not come today, so let's dine first." ”

Before the words fell, another low, slightly apologetic voice reached everyone's ears: "I'm sorry, there is something in the palace to delay, I'm late." ”

Wei Chixin walked into the dining room and nodded to the three people at the table to apologize before taking a seat.

Xuan Yue's originally dim eyes were lit up again, and he looked at Wei Chixin happily and whispered, "I knew you would definitely come!" ”

Yan Rujin saw Wei Chixin, her face flashed with unexpected surprise, of course, she soon regained her smile that seemed to never be broken, and welcomed Yu Chixin with a smiling gaze.

After everyone began to eat, they only exchanged a few words of pleasantries, and they did not talk too much because of table manners. It wasn't until the end of the meal that Yan Rujin officially cut to the chase after the people served seasonal fresh fruits.

"When the little girl went to the Red Dome Country on a mission, she came back thanks to the Lord Commander for saving me, and I still have time to thank you." Yan Rujin still began with a polite thank you.

Xuan Yue had been shyly lowering her head, and when she heard this, she raised her head and pursed her lips to give Wei Chixin the same grateful look.

"This is what I should do, not to mention that Xuan Yue also saved my life many times on the battlefield of Fog Hidden Island, I should thank her."

"I personally have always admired you, I heard the little girl mention the two of you a few days ago, I think since you both have intentions, it is better to ......" Yan Rujin deliberately dragged out his tone, exploring Wei Chixin's final attitude at the moment.

"Mrs. Yan Rujin." Wei Chixin interrupted Yan Rujin, "I think you may have a little misunderstanding in this matter. ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? Yan Rujin immediately knew Wei Chixin's intentions when he heard this, but he pretended to be surprised, and Xuan Yue and Xuan Shao also cast inexplicable glances at Yu Chixin.

"I have always regarded Xuan Yue as a younger sister, and I have affection, but I only have the love of brother and sister." Wei Chixin said calmly.

"Wei Chixin, you?!" Xuan Yue raised his head sharply and looked at Yu Chixin, unable to believe what he had just heard.

"I think maybe I did something to make you misunderstand, and I came here today to make a special trip to make it clear about this, so as not to delay Xuanyue's reputation." Wei Chixin's tone sounded a little cruel at this time, and he didn't even glance at Xuan Yue.

"You are talking nonsense, you are obviously not like this in the afternoon!" Tears were already rolling in Xuan Yue's eyes, and she felt that Wei Chixin in front of her was extremely unfamiliar, and her attitude when she saw Yu Chixin in the afternoon was fundamentally different.

"How did I say I had an interest in you?" Wei Chixin looked at Xuan Yue indifferently.

"It seems that the little girl misunderstood, and even took us wrong, I'm really sorry, but you and Xuan Shao are good, and you will have to move around more in the future." Yan Rujin said polite words on the surface, but secretly exclaimed in his heart: Wei Chixin was willing to do so absolutely, which made Xuan Yue completely die, which really saved him a lot of effort.

"Since the matter has been clarified, then I will leave first, Mrs. Yan Rujin, thank you for your invitation and hospitality, Xuan Shao, Xuan Yue, farewell."

Wei Chixin simply stood up and walked out, not daring to look at Xuan Yue more, he was afraid that he would be reluctant to leave again if he saw the tears in her eyes.

"Faith! Wei Chi Xin! You wait! Xuan Shao looked at his sad and desperate sister, and chased him out with a sense of anger.

Wei Chixin knew that Xuan Shao chased after him, but he didn't stop and continued to walk forward.

"Wei Chixin, you stop me!" Xuan Shao ran to Wei Chixin's side and grabbed him, "Tell me clearly, what's going on?" ”

"Didn't I make it clear?" Wei Chixin didn't look over his head and didn't look at Xuan Shao, "Besides, you don't have to take care of my affairs." ”

"Bang!" Xuan Shao punched Yu Chixin in the face, "What kind of attitude do you have, if it wasn't about my sister, I wouldn't bother to care about you!" ”

Wei Chixin was knocked down by this sudden punch and took a few steps back, blood spilled from the corners of his mouth, he rubbed the corners of his mouth and said lightly: "I don't have feelings for her, it's as simple as that, understand?" ”

"You bastard!" Xuan Shao stepped forward and grabbed Yu Chixin's collar, but Yu Chixin did not resist and looked at Xuan Shao coldly.

Seeing that another punch was about to hit Wei Chixin's face, an excited voice sounded behind them, "Brother, stop!" ”

It was Xuan Yue, she ran over and pulled Xuan Shao away and said to him: "This is my own business, let me solve it myself." ”

Xuan Yue turned to look at Yu Chixin, took a deep breath and said to him: "I only want to ask you, are you, have you never liked me." With that, Xuan Yue's slightly trembling hand clenched into a fist, waiting for Yu Chixin's answer.

"No, never." Wei Chixin struggled for a short time in his heart, and finally said this sentence ruthlessly.

Tears dripped from Xuan Yue's eyes after Wei Chixin's words were finished, and she said with a crying voice: "Okay, I understand, I won't entangle you again in the future." Then he turned and left.

Xuan Shao still couldn't hide his anger and glared at Wei Chixin, didn't say anything more, and quickly turned around to catch up with Xuan Yue.

Wei Chixin also turned around and walked in the opposite direction. Xuan Yue's trembling back had always been in Yu Chixin's mind, and in the shadows, he raised his head and closed his eyes.

"Forget me, I'm a coward."
