The night is getting darker.

In the small courtyard of the Jiang family, Jiang Ling sat under the moon and stood silently with his cheeks propped up. Caihe stood beside her for a long time, and saw that her young lady didn't speak, nor did she go back to her room to sleep, looking like a little adult, and she didn't know whether she was thinking about poetry and poetry or philosophy of life.

Caihe didn't want to disturb her, but her legs were really numb, and her upper and lower eyelids began to fight, so she couldn't help but yawn and said: "Miss, you said that you are not sleepy and want to sit, but this is the second shift, how long are you going to sit?" ”

Jiang Ling raised his eyelids and glanced at her, seeing that her face was tired, and said, "If you are sleepy, go to sleep first, I am not sleepy." ”

Caihe pouted: "Then how can it be done!" How can there be a reason that the maid sleeps before the young lady. ”

Jiang Ling was absent-minded, and kept thinking about the play that happened in front of the troupe tonight, although the queen did not protect her son, but this was in the Jiang family, and the second prince deliberately rejected him, and made such a fuss, no matter how you say it, it is a bit like bullying. She thought about the thin little back that Zhou Chengzhi left, and she really looked a little pitiful.

Perhaps, Zhou Chengzhi will become a tyrant in the future, and it is because of this bit of resentment that he finally changed from a young man with compassion in his heart to slowly becoming indifferent and vicious.

No, she couldn't let him build up these resentments in his heart.

After thinking about it, Jiang Ling stood up and waved his hand: "I'll go outside for a walk, you don't have to follow when you go to sleep." ”

Caihe hurriedly said: "It's so late, what should you do if you walk around alone and knock again?" The old lady told me to look at you more. ”

Jiang Ling's dark eyes glared at her without deterrence: "I won't knock it alone, don't forget that the last time I was startled, I was so scared that I rolled down the mountain." If you let your parents know, you won't be allowed to pick a layer of skin. ”

"Miss......" Caihe looked entangled and wanted to keep up, but he was a little hesitant, and the steps were as small as broken steps.

Jiang Ling heard her footsteps, turned his head and pretended to be straight and shouted: "Hurry back to sleep, don't bother me." ”

Caihe pouted and hummed, and when he saw the rare Yan sù of his own young lady, he could only reluctantly hum and stopped.

Jiang Ling raised his eyebrows in satisfaction, turned around and disappeared into the night.

When Jiang Ling just woke up, he was really a little unfamiliar with the Jiang Mansion of Teda University, but after all these days, he had already felt familiar with the road.

In the dark moon and high wind, I quickly arrived at Jingyayuan.

The red light in the courtyard room was swaying, and I thought that the people in this room had not yet slept. Jiang Ling tiptoed into the courtyard, and was about to open his mouth to call Zhou Chengzhi, but he was frightened by a black shadow that suddenly descended and fell to the ground.

"Who!" After a light drink, after Chaiyun saw the little man on the ground clearly, his originally guarded look immediately eased down, and he hurriedly went to help people, "Miss Ling'er, why are you?" ”

Jiang Ling sat on the ground, his butt hurting so much that he bared his teeth and mouth, and he hadn't answered yet. The door of the house had already creaked open, and the person inside said coldly: "Chasing clouds, you go down!" ”

Chaiyun stretched out in the air to help Jiang Ling's hand, but it was not withdrawn, no matter how much it went down, it was tangled for a moment, and finally it was still withdrawn, and the person between the lightning and flint was gone.

Jiang Ling's hand happened to stretch out, but it fell into the air. She blinked, not realizing what was happening.

Zhou Chengzhi reacted quickly, and in her daze, someone had already moved in front of her, grabbed her half-empty hand, and pulled her up from the ground with a little force. In a slightly worried tone, he asked, "Ling'er, are you okay?" ”

Jiang Ling blinked: "Brother Chasing Yun, is he a ghost?" Otherwise, how could it be so fast? ”

But when she became a ghost herself, she didn't seem to be so fast.

Zhou Chengzhi smiled wryly and corrected her name: "Uncle Chasing Clouds." ”

The corners of Jiang Ling's mouth twitched, although Zhou Chengzhi had already said this before, but not considering that her soul had been stored for more than twenty years, even chasing the clouds itself, looking at it was only two decades, this uncle really couldn't scream. But this is not an important matter, she didn't pay attention to it, and instead looked at Zhou Chengzhi's face.

The face in the glimmer really looked gloomy.

"Brother Chengzhi, are you still unhappy?"

Zhou Chengzhi glanced at her: "Do you mean quarreling with your cousin?" I have long been accustomed to it, except for the eldest brother in the palace, the other princes are like the second brother, they don't want to be close to me, and they often quarrel with me. But for my father and others, it was me who behaved perversely and withdrawn. If it weren't for the fact that the Queen Mother has always protected me as my life, I am afraid that I don't know what it will look like to be bullied. ”

Sure enough, it was a poor child, and it was no wonder that the previous life would go astray. He was still young, and his face had an indisputable beauty, and when he said this with a low expression, it was really pitiful. Jiang Ling really wanted to touch his head gently, but it was a pity that she herself was smaller than him now, and this action was inevitably strange to sit up, so she could only endure this impulse.

You can't touch your head, but you can still touch it with your little hands. Just now, Zhou Chengzhi pulled Jiang Ling up, and his hand had not yet been released. She shook her hand with a little force: "Brother Chengzhi, I know you are not what your cousin said." ”

Zhou Chengzhi hooked a faint smile at the corner of his mouth: "Then what kind of person do you think I am?" ”

Jiang Ling smiled crookedly: "I think you are a good person." Very nice person, you see that my third brother still wants to eat the injured rabbit, but you specially brought it back to heal the wounds. You are a better person than my third brother. It's just that you are introverted and don't know how to express yourself, and other people misunderstand you. ”

Zhou Chengzhi retracted his smile and sighed faintly: "It's a pity that you are the only one who thinks so." ”

Jiang Ling hurriedly said, "How can I be the only one?" And also...... And ......" she racked her brains but couldn't think of anything else, but suddenly it dawned on her, "and my eldest brother thinks so too." ”

Jiang Zhun and Zhou Chengzhi had a good impression when they first met, and she pulled out her eldest brother, which was also somewhat credible.

Zhou Chengzhi smiled reluctantly: "Ling'er is really good at comforting people. ”

"I mean really." Jiang Ling made a serious little appearance, "When the eldest brother left this morning, he specially asked me to treat you well." ”

Zhou Chengzhi suddenly lowered his head and did not speak.

Jiang Ling tilted his head and looked at it, and asked tentatively, "Brother Chengzhi, why are you still unhappy?" Am I bothering you? ”

Zhou Chengzhi shook his head hurriedly: "Actually, I can't sleep a little, thank you for coming to see me." ”

Jiang Ling laughed: "I'm afraid you're unhappy." ”

Zhou Chengzhi looked at her with a puzzled expression and asked, "Why is Ling'er afraid that I'm not happy?" After all, I had an argument with your cousin. ”

Jiang Ling was a little speechless, they only met yesterday, and it was really weird that she was so enthusiastic. After a while, he said, "My cousin has a father, a brother, and an aunt." Chengzhi brother is the honored guest of our Jiang family, but there is only one person, Daddy asked me to entertain you, of course I can't make you unhappy. ”

"Really?" Zhou Chengzhi smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth, but he said a little lost as if he had thought of something, "You are right, the second brother has uncles, aunts, cousins, and his mother, but I am only one person." In fact, I have long been used to today's disputes, although the queen scolds the second brother, but I know that it is just because it is a mother and son, and I am just an outsider. ”

Sure enough, it's a sentimental teenager. Looking at his sad expression, Jiang Ling asked tentatively, "Brother Chengzhi, do you miss your mother?" ”

Zhou Chengzhi seemed to hesitate for a moment before nodding slowly. But what I thought in my heart was that he had lived two lives, and I couldn't remember what his mother was like. But the little girl is innocent and kind, just follow her thoughts.

Jiang Ling snorted: "No wonder you can't sleep." Don't be sad, I'll be with you tonight, if you miss your mother, talk to me, and I'll leave when you're asleep. ”

An imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of Zhou Chengzhi's mouth, but he made a stunned look: "Really? But after all, Ling'er is a daughter's family, if Uncle Jiang knows that you are still in my room so late, I am afraid that I will not think that I have ruined your innocence. ”

Jiang Ling said in her heart, the children of the royal family have a lot of rules, is she just a child? There are still several years before the first menarche of Kwai Shui, and he himself is only eleven years old, so what can he be innocent of.

Besides, she doesn't know much about her father, she is the eldest in the family, and the Jiang couple have always regarded her as a treasure that she is afraid of falling in her hands and afraid of melting in her mouth, and when she grows up to nine years old, she is only regarded as an ignorant child. Even if she stayed in Zhou Chengzhi's room for one night, she would probably only think that she didn't understand the rules and disturbed His Royal Highness the Third Prince, and she would definitely not think of the word innocence.

However, she couldn't explain it like this, so she just said: "Don't let my father and mother know." ”

Zhou Chengzhi nodded: "Okay then." ”

He pulled Jiang Ling into the room, bypassed the screen and went to the bed. He was the prince in the end, and he didn't bring a maid with him, so Jiang Ling took the initiative to dress him and help him untie his clothes.

Zhou Chengzhi didn't refuse, at this time, the height of the two was not as much as that they were adults, but they were also more than half a head apart, and the top of Jiang Ling's head was on his nose, and the faint fragrance of osmanthus came to his nose.

Although both of them were still just children, Zhou Chengzhi inevitably thought of Jiang Ling's appearance a few years later, for him, she was the brightest branch among thousands of flowers, where she couldn't see, he had watched her countless times with a smile, until now, the girl's voice still occupied his heart.

Thinking like this, it is inevitable that some people will be a little distracted.

Although Jiang Ling's voice is not as noble as Zhou Chengzhi, she is also the eldest lady of a wealthy family, where has she done the work of serving people. After tossing for a long time, he almost stuck to Zhou Chengzhi's chest, and he didn't untie his shirt.

Zhou Chengzhi was probably a little afraid of itching, and when she touched his waist, she laughed out loud. Jiang Ling let go of his hand a little annoyed and looked up at him: "This dress is so strange, why can't I untie it?" ”

Zhou Chengzhi took a step back and looked at her: "This kind of thing was not done by Miss Jiang in the first place, I came by myself." ”

With a slight pull of his hand, the moon-white auspicious cloud pattern belt had been loosened, and the coat was simply hung on the bedside shelf. This action is smooth and skillful and natural, not at all like a prince who stretches out his hand.

Jiang Ling sighed, she only said that the children of the poor would be in charge of the house early, but she didn't know that the unfavored prince would also be sensible early.
