Xu Anping returned to the private room, accompanied Yi Lian'er to finish eating slowly, and only then did Xu come out of the Drunken Immortal Building. "Lian'er, there are jugglers under the overpass ahead, let's go over and take a look."

"Well, Lian'er also likes to watch juggling. A few years ago, there were still outsiders in the next village who came to step on stilts and spit fire, but it was beautiful, but there were too many people. Yi Lian'er's demure temperament was also a little excited when she heard that she could watch juggling.

On the way to the overpass, there are more and more people, and the cries of rice cakes, sugar gourds, and candy pinchers are endless. Yi Lian'er carefully held Xu Anping's sleeve, lest she be squeezed out. Xu Anping walked in front, thinking about the wording in his heart, but his mouth was full of bitterness. "Forget it, let's wait until we get back."

When she arrived at the overpass, Yi Lian'er saw a variety of long-awaited acrobatics, including sword-making, pill jumping, handstand, rope walking, top pole, five cases, seven plates, lion dance, sword swallowing, spitting fire, playing wine jars, car edge rods, fish and dragon spreading, etc., each more thrilling and exciting than the other. She didn't exclaim like other onlookers, but covered her small mouth with one hand, and grabbed Xu Anping's right hand tightly with the other, her face turned red from excitement, and her small body kept leaning on Xu Anping because of fear.

Xu Anping glanced at Yi Lian'er slightly sideways and smiled gently, his heart was full of warm feelings, and his face was full of doting looks. This feeling is really nostalgic, and it makes people reluctant to let go. He clenched Yi Lian'er's hand and smiled at her.

Deng Xiaoke, who was dressed in men's clothes two feet away, was looking at Xu Anping, his big eyes were full of tears, and the blush on his face faded and began to appear desperate. Her head went blank, and only one voice echoed: "This is the person I want to marry!" How could he do this! How can you do this to me......" Deng Xiaoke felt that she was getting farther and farther away from the cheers around her and the screams of Huan'er, and her heart seemed to be grabbed by someone's hand, and she was so sad that she was suffocating. It was already foggy in front of her, and the bean-sized teardrops slipped down her face, fell to the ground and shattered, and she saw the woman again who was also dressed in men's clothes. Maybe it was because she was also dressed as a man, and she could see at a glance that the person who relied on Xu Anping was a young girl like herself. So she laughed at herself for being an idiot, and even listened to his rhetoric and contradicted Daddy's arrangement. Thinking of this, Deng Xiaoke's eyes became even more hollow, and his tone of voice became wooden, "Huan'er go back, I feel a little tired and want to go home to rest." ”

The excited maid Huan'er didn't notice her lady's abnormality at all, her eyes stared at the juggler who was performing sword swallowing, and she said without looking back: "Miss, why do you want to go back after just coming out for a while?" Look at it for a while, you can see how powerful this person is at swallowing swords, and even more powerful at the top bowl next to him. ”

Deng Xiaoke said in a dry and stiff tone: "I said go back!" After saying that, he turned around and left.

Huan'er realized that the eldest lady's mood was wrong, and hurriedly followed, "Eldest miss, what's wrong with you?" Don't be scared! Huan'er will be very obedient in the future. ”

At this time, Xu Anping suddenly felt a hateful gaze coming from farther on the right, thinking that it was the assassin of the Blood Hand Alliance who had not appeared for a long time, so he pretended to look at it unintentionally, and was stunned in place. He saw the resoluteness in Deng Xiaoke's eyes and the tears that slipped from the corners of his eyes when he turned to leave, and knew that Deng Xiaoke must have misunderstood, and he twitched his arm and wanted to call her to explain. Before the words came out, Yi Lian'er, who was still paying most of her attention to Xu Anping even when watching juggling, asked suspiciously: "Brother Anping, have you met an acquaintance?" Xu Anping turned his head and smiled reluctantly and said, "It's okay, I just saw a pickpocket stealing someone's money bag, and I want to remind you." Now that the pickpockets have run away, let's continue to watch juggling. ”

Yi Lian'er looked in the direction of Xu Anping's gaze just now, but because there were too many people around her and she was too short to see a person's head, she agreed to say "oh", and then absentmindedly looked at the juggling again, and she lost the excitement just now.

After another half an hour, Xu Anping saw that Yi Lian'er seemed to be a little tired, so he sent her back to the Tongfu Inn, sat at the table in the room, and stopped talking.

Yi Lian'er asked thoughtfully and softly, "Brother Anping, do you have something to tell Lian'er." ”

"Lian'er, there are indeed some things I've always wanted to tell you. In fact, I met the eldest lady of the Deng family earlier. In the past two days, the Deng family wants to recruit me into the ......" Xu Anping mustered up the courage to explain the situation to Yi Lian'er in detail, and hung his head very guiltily.

Yi Lian'er listened quietly, held back the tears in her eyes, and pretended to be strong and whispered, "Lian'er knows." Brother Anping, do you want to be with Miss Deng, don't you want Lian'er? Don't worry, Lian'er won't drag you down, I'll go back to Yujia Village to accompany A-Niang later, and I don't want to come out again, woo woo woo ...... "Even though she was trying to hold back her tears, she still fell on the table and cried sadly after saying these words.

Xu Anping waved his hand again and again, and eagerly shook Yi Lian'er's thin shoulders and explained: "Lian'er, it's not that you think like this, how could I not want you." Although I am in love with the eldest lady of the Deng family, I don't want to join the Deng family, just because I am reluctant to leave you. I haven't told you about it, I'm just afraid that you won't accept it, and I don't know what to do! I met the eldest lady of the Deng family when I was juggling with you this afternoon, and I don't want to hide it from you anymore. ”

Yi Lian'er, who was crying, suppressed her crying, raised her delicate face full of tears and looked at Xu Anping, looking at his flustered and concerned eyes suddenly burst into laughter, "Brother Anping, why are you so stupid!" As long as you don't leave Lian'er. ”

"Uh, Lian'er, aren't you angry?" Xu Anping saw Yi Lian'er crying sadly just now, he really didn't know what to do, he really felt that he was going to lose this lovely person. Now I suddenly felt that the rain had passed and the sky was clear, so I hugged Yi Lian'er tightly in my arms and was reluctant to let go.

Yi Lian'er moved her little head, found a more comfortable position, and said in a sullen voice: "Brother Anping, except for this sister, don't worry about it anymore." Tears wet the front of Xu Anping's clothes again.

Xu Anping nodded awkwardly, remembering that Deng Xiaoke's pretty face that should have a hearty smile was still with tears hanging on it, and he felt that his sin was too deep, and he invisibly hurt two people who were devoted to him. He looked down and saw that Yi Lian'er, who was still crying in his arms just now, had fallen asleep, and his guilt deepened. After a while, he gently put Yi Lian'er on the bed, looked deeply for a moment before tiptoeing open the door and leaving.

As soon as the door of the room was closed, Yi Lian'er's closed eyes opened, her long eyelashes were wet with tears, and she sighed with a look that did not match her age and then closed her eyes again, tears slid down her cheeks and dripped onto the pillow. Which girl is not pregnant with spring, if it is not for deep affection, how can she share it with others.
