In the next six years, Wen Yin has been going back and forth between his home and the Sacred Valley, whenever Wen Yuanbo goes out to run errands, Wen Yin will go to the Sacred Valley, live there for a period of time, learn medical skills, and gradually begin to understand the affairs of the valley, helping Zhao Ning take care of the Sacred Valley. Then he estimated that his father was going home, so he hurried back to Qizhou.

When she went to the Holy Valley with Zhao Ning for the first time, the housekeeper told Wen Yuanbo the news that she ran away from home, and then surprisingly, when she returned home and reunited with Wen Yuanbo, Wen Yuanbo did not blame, but was very supportive, and specially asked her to have a long talk, encouraging her to go out often, see more of the outside world, and see the world.

However, he had one condition, that is, he hoped that Wen Yin would bring someone by his side to protect her, but Wen Yin refused. Wen Yuanbo insisted to no avail, but he also went with her.

With Wen Yuanbo's consent, Wen Yin was able to go back and forth between his home and the Holy Valley freely in the past six years.

Sometimes Wen Yin herself feels very strange, she doesn't understand how her father would let her act like this, she also tried to ask her father, but no matter how many times she asked, Wen Yuanbo always avoided the important and perfunctory the question.

Between their father and daughter, although they rarely spend time together, there are some things that are rare to have a tacit understanding, for example, Wen Yin never asks whether Wen Yuanbo is really doing business or doing something else when he goes out, although she herself has doubts, she never asks. On the other hand, Wen Yuanbo will not ask where Wen Yin is when he is not at home and what he is doing. The father and daughter are obviously happy to accept each other's secrets, and they also respect each other's decision not to confess. It was very harmonious, and there was no contradiction in this regard.

On Wen Yin's fourteenth birthday, Wen Yuanbo went out and returned, this time he not only came alone, but also brought a person who made Wen Yin think about it - Liu Renxian.

In the past six years, Wen Yin and Liu Renxian have only met twice in total, each time they were briefly together, and they separated in the blink of an eye. Liu Renxian is slightly six or seven years older than Wen Yin, when they first met, he was already a beautiful young man, after several years of training and growth, he has transformed into more mature and stable, but that gentle temperament, and the smile that always hangs on his face, is still exactly the same as in the past.

He looked at Wen Yin and said with a smile: "Xiao Yin, I heard that today is your birthday." Do you have any desired gifts without? ”

Wen Yin looked at him, carefully restrained the feeling of surprise, and said, "No need." I have received the best gift. ”

"The best gift?"

Yoo In-hyun was stunned and looked at her puzzled.

“……”

Wen Yin lowered his head slightly, looking very shy.

Liu Renxian wanted to say something, Xiaoqing interjected excitedly on the side: "Young Master Liu, what our young lady means is that you can come is already the best gift for her!" ”

"Xiaoqing!"

Xiaoqing is Wen Yin's personal maid, and she has always known Wen Yin's thoughts, looking at this situation at this time, she said it bluntly, which made Wen Yin so ashamed that she wanted to dig a hole in the ground and get into it.

Her cheeks were flushed, and her pretty eyes were constantly moving, staring at the ground, as if she was really looking for a hole in the ground.

Xiaoqing's words surprised Liu Renxian, he looked at Wen Yin's embarrassed appearance, and after a long time, he put on a smile again, reached out and touched her head, and said, "It seems that Xiao Yin, you welcome me very much." ”

Wen Yin's head lowered, and she wanted to answer him, but her heart was pounding, and she was afraid that she would leak her heart by speaking, so she couldn't bear it without opening her mouth.

Yoo In-hyun saw her performance in his eyes, although he has always been clean and self-conscious, and he has never had anything with a woman, but after all, he is already an adult man, and he has been in the mall for so many years, and he has never missed what he should understand. Wen Yin looked like this, he could naturally see what the reason was.

When he and Liu Yun came to Wenfu for the first time, on the way back to Kyoto, Liu Yun told him that Wen Yin's marriage had been set for him, and he had not expressed any opinion on this marriage at that time, but, when he asked himself, he was actually not very enthusiastic. He doesn't value women as much as other men, but he also knows that he wants to marry a wife and have children one day, and he thinks in his heart that if he really wants to marry, he hopes to marry a woman he has a soft spot for.

And obviously, the little girl in front of her is not that person.

He secretly thought that there should be a proper way to cancel the marriage between himself and Wen Yin.

I didn't expect Wen Yin to ...... to him

Liu Renxian sighed a little worriedly, and smiled suggestively: "It seems that I didn't treat Xiao Yin as my own sister in vain. ”

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Wen Yin's face changed.

All shyness was swept away, and she jerked her head up and looked at him in disbelief: "My sister? ”

"yes. My sister. ”

Yoo In-hyun's smile was still as warm as the sun, and she nodded gently, but to Wen Yin's ears, it was as if a cold wind had penetrated into her ears, making her tremble.

She didn't believe that Yoo In-hyun would not know about their father's intention to let them marry, but he solemnly stated that he would treat her as his own sister......

Wen Yin was not stupid, she could hear the hint in this.

So, does he have no love for her at all?

"Brother Liu, after all, we don't have many opportunities to get in touch. How can you treat me like a sister? Maybe we're ......"

"Why not?" Liu Renxian interrupted Wen Yin's words with a smile and said, "You look so cute and well-behaved, and you are Wen Shibo's daughter, I take it for granted that I treat you as my own sister, isn't it?" Or do you think I don't deserve to be your brother, Xiao Yin? ”

“……”

Wen Yin looked at him in a daze, not knowing how to answer, at this time, no matter what she said, it was equivalent to acquiescing to his statement. Then, it means that the marriage between them is absolutely impossible.

Selfishness is like an invisible net, netting Wen Yin's mouth and making her silent.

She is no longer the young girl she was at the beginning, she is fourteen years old, she is completely married, she has been walking around a lot over the years, she has seen a lot of the world, and she understands a lot, she is not stupid. Yoo In-hyun's gentle hint is undoubtedly equivalent to a direct showdown for her. After hearing what he meant, she naturally had no reason to stalk, but over the years, just because of that time of love, she put all her thoughts on him, and it has accumulated year by year, and it has long been ingrained, how can she let it go easily?

It doesn't matter whether she is willing or not, she just can't bear it.

If you can't bear it, you have to think you don't understand it.

Who would have thought that Xiaoqing on the side was in a hurry, and at this time he interjected: "Young Master Liu, you are joking too much." Our lord and Mr. Liu have made a decision to let our young lady marry you. Now you say that you treat our young lady as your own sister, so how can you get married in the future? ”

Xiao Qingyuan had good intentions, but he didn't know that he was completely doing a disservice now.

Wen Yin's face was slightly pale, didn't Xiaoqing say this, didn't it make her even have room to pretend to be stupid?

She lowered her head again and pursed her lips subconsciously.

Yoo In-hyun looked at her quietly and did not speak.

The surrounding atmosphere suddenly became a little weird, Xiaoqing realized something in hindsight, her eyes widened, she covered her mouth, and looked at Wen Yin's eyes full of apology and self-blame: "Miss......"

Wen Yin raised his head and looked at Liu Renxian, smiled reluctantly, and said, "Brother Liu, don't stand stupidly here, let's go into the house." ”

She didn't have the courage to respond to anything, so she had to dodge the question.

Yoo In-hyun didn't give up, he thought she needed time to accept this, and he was happy to give her that time.

Wen Yin took Liu Renxian back to the hall, Wen Yuanbo was already sitting there waiting, and when he saw them, he smiled and beckoned them over: "What, don't you go shopping in the garden again?" ”

Wen Yin smiled: "I've been shopping for a long time, and I'm hungry." ”

Wen Yuanbo smiled: "It's my father who asked more." Come, Renxian, sit. ”

Yoo In-hyun sat down on his right-hand side, and Wen Yin sat on his left-hand side.

Soon, the housekeeper asked the maids to set the meal.

Wen Yuanbo said to Liu Renxian: "Haven't you always praised our garden for being beautiful? Have you seen enough today? ”

Yoo In-hyun smiled: "The garden of my uncle's house is indeed very beautifully maintained. I think my uncle is often not at home, maybe Xiao Yin takes care of it? ”

Wen Yuanbo laughed twice, and just wanted to say that Wen Yin would not take care of it, because she was often not at home.

However, Wen Yin suddenly coughed twice as if he had expected what he would say.

Wen Yuanbo shut up, looked at her, and asked worriedly, "What's wrong Xiao Yin?" Isn't it going to be sick again? ”

While talking, it was still a little strange, over the years, Wen Yin's body has clearly gotten better and better, and he was fine just now, why did he suddenly ......

Thinking about it, Wen Yin suddenly glanced at him meaningfully, Wen Yuanbo was stunned, and suddenly understood.

Wen Yin shook his head: "It's okay, Dad." It's just choking when I drink the soup. ”

Wen Yuanbo smiled: "It's okay." ”

Liu Renxian looked at Wen Yin's face and said with a smile: "I wanted to say just now, Xiao Yin's physical condition seems to be much better than in the past. It seems that I have been cultivating well during this time. ”

Wen Yin smiled: "Hmm." ”

Liu Renxian nodded, and looked at Wen Yuanbo again: "By the way, what did uncle want to say just now?" ”

Wen Yuanbo glanced at Wen Yin's low-hanging eyebrows and smiled lightly, and waved his hand to Liu Renxian: "It's nothing." It's all trifles. ”

Yoo In-hyun looked at it and felt as if something was wrong, but he didn't think much about it.

This time, Liu Renxian only stayed at Wen's house for three days before leaving.

Wen Yuanbo and Wen Yin personally sent him out, Wen Yuanbo also handed him a letter and asked him to pass it to Liu Yun, and also took Liu Renxian's hand, looked at Wen Yin on the side, and hinted: "Renxian, our family's Xiao Yin is also old." You should discuss the matter with your father. ”

Liu Renxian's eyes moved, and he glanced at Wen Yin, but the latter just lowered his head and didn't have any superfluous expression on his face.

He thought that she knew what he had said before, although Wen Yuanbo hinted at it, but the decision in his heart would not change, but he still decided to give Wen Yin some time.

He smiled noncommittally, turned and got on his horse.

It wasn't until he rode away that Wen Yin, who had always kept his head down, raised his head, staring at the distant figure with his eyes motionless, his eyes revealing sadness and reluctance.

Wen Yuanbo turned around and saw his daughter's expression, and couldn't help but smile: "When I was in front of me just now, I was so shy that I didn't even dare to raise my head. Now that the person is gone, it looks like his eyes are going to be staring, and his neck is so stretched that he can't take it back. You girl, it seems that you really like him. I knew from the beginning that you would love this future husband. ”

Hearing his father's words, Wen Yin was a little distracted.

She glanced at Wen Yuanbo, opened her mouth, and finally fell silent.

"Alright, let's go inside."

Wen Yuanbo didn't notice her desire to speak, and turned around and walked towards the gate.

Wen Yin looked at the direction in which Yoo In-hyun disappeared again, and then followed in step by step.

Two days later, Wen Yuanbo went out again, and the day after Wen Yuanbo went out, Wen Yin also left to go back to the Holy Valley.

Half a month later. Sacred Valley.

Mao Yuju, where Zhao Ning lived, knelt down in the valley with all the women in the valley, the door was open, and Zhao Ning was sitting opposite the door, her face was still the same as back then, but there were a few more invisible fine lines and white hair. Wen Yin knelt at her feet, her head bowed, and she looked very deferential.

Zhao Ning reached out and touched her head, and said with a slight smile: "Xiao Yin, my time is running out." If it's fast, maybe ...... tonight."

"......" Wen Yin lowered his head and said nothing.

Zhao Ning looked at her like that and said with a smile: "You are the apprentice I taught by hand." And you are gifted, and in time, your medical skills will surely be above mine. It's not that day yet, but you should be able to figure it out now, I'm almost there. The reason why the spirit is so good now is just a return to the light. ”

When it came to the words "back to light", Zhao Ning's tone was very relaxed, a little ridiculous, and even with a smile on his expression, as if he was talking about an inconsequential trivial matter.

Wen Yin frowned: "Master......"

"Xiao Yin, I'm very glad that the apprentice who was originally selected was you. If I had changed to someone else, I might not have been able to learn all my skills so quickly. Zhao Ning looked at Wen Yin, smiled very kindly, stroked her head with concern, and continued: "After I leave, you will be the new valley master of the holy valley, you must abide by the rules of the valley and deal with the big and small things in the valley, you know?" ”

Wen Yin replied respectfully: "Master rest assured." I'll keep that in mind. ”

Zhao Ning smiled: "You are still a yellow-haired girl, it is actually difficult for you to hand over such heavy courage to you." Alas—" She sighed, "Your senior sister is too, she should have helped you well, but she ......"
