"Shall we go to the lake and talk?" Mu Qing asked gently, from the fact that he knew that she was not his sister, he suppressed the feeling of surprise on his face, and he had to take into account her feelings, but he was full of words and had to say it to her.

Now the two of them are talking by the lake, listening to Zhilan still holding the idea of sacrificing her life to become a benevolent, and she still wants to go on according to the set goal. He couldn't let her go stupid. Mu Qing was anxious: "Lan'er, I love you." I don't want you to sacrifice for me and the Zhou family, you are a complete person, you have the right to pursue your own happiness, you should make your own decisions, and you should not be bound by anything. Lan'er, you can see your heart clearly! ”

"How do you think about my heart? But we don't have the strength, brother, I'm really afraid of ......" Zhilan said in a low voice, and there was a kind of confusion about the future in his eyes.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Listening to her words rippling on his chest, where could he hold back? Directly held up her head with his hand, looking for her lips, and gently outlined the shape of her lips when he first explored, for fear of breaking it, he kissed awkwardly, Zhilan also stared stupidly and pursed her lips without knowing how to respond, in addition to this was their first kiss, she was indeed surprised by Mu Qing, but this "I am" made her let go of all her defenses and fear, and she closed her eyes.

"Boom......" The sky darkened, and a thunderclap startled. It was gloomy and dreary before, but now the dark clouds are overhead.

The thunder frightened Zhilan, and she subconsciously shrank back, and Mu Qing hugged her.

"It's going to rain, let's go back."

"Hmm." Zhilan replied in a deep voice.

For a while, a strong wind struck, blowing the lake waves, the wind swept the branches and leaves, the wind was mixed with ash, blowing people could not open their eyes, and the cloud layer pressed lower and lower.

"We're going to hurry." Mu Qing pulled Zhilan, he took her in his arms and ran home. As soon as I arrived at the door, the rain poured down immediately.

They entered the house.

Steward Zhou greeted him and said, "Second young master and third miss, it's time to start eating." I was about to send someone to find it. ”

"It's not coming back." Mu Qing habitually wanted to hold Zhilan's hand. Zhilan retracted her hand and glanced at Steward Zhou. He reacted suddenly, and hurriedly pointed to the dining room, "All over there?" ”

"Yes. Second Young Master, I'm waiting for you. ”

The two walked into the dining room and sat down in their place. Mu Qing was excited and drank a few more glasses. Zhilan was a little afraid to look in the direction of Yuchun, and felt that Yuchun was looking at her with a good eye, and she was very embarrassed. She stole a glance at the eldest lady and Yuehua, who looked as if nothing had happened.

On the table, Yuchun kept giving Zhilan vegetables. Zhilan was embarrassed and couldn't help it, she hurriedly took a few mouthfuls of food and left the table and went upstairs to the room. Yuchun's face was full of loneliness.

After lunch, Master Zhou arranged for a car to send Yuchun back. Zhilan didn't go downstairs, Mu Qing whispered to Yuchun: "Mrs. Yu, you don't have to worry. Lan'er won't be able to accept it for a while. I'll take her slowly. ”

Yuchun thanked Mu Qing and thanked the old man again. The old man stopped: "No need. ”

After Yuchun left, Zhilan closed himself in the room, why did he still boast of his bold self before, and in the face of feelings, he became hesitant? At this moment, she really saw her heart clearly, so many teenagers came to big and small things because of Mu Qing's help and support. In the past, if there was any thought that crossed the rules, he confined himself to the box that Mu Qing was just his brother. Now that the premise has been removed, she can't hold back her heart, and the most important thing is that kiss, she quickly replays the before and after of that kiss in her mind, and covers her face in shame.

The door rang, it was Mu Qing who came in, and when she saw her covering her face, she said strangely: "What's wrong with you?" ”

Zhilan put down her hand, stared at Mu Qing and made up her mind. She has always dared to be Zhou Zhilan, and she couldn't help but say, "I'm willing to follow my heart and give it a try for us." ”

"I'm really happy, I'm so happy!" Mu Qing was in high spirits, walked over, held her shoulders, and looked for her eyes, "Lan'er, I'...... will also be afraid of your reluctance. It's too reluctant for you to accept me suddenly, I've been your brother for so many years, and it's you, I'm afraid I can't stand it if it's me, and today I was abrupt. ”

"I'm worried, the Li family ......" Zhilan thought about Li Shaowen's inevitable appearance towards him, especially the wedding ceremony on the 24th of next month, and became more and more panicked.

"In that case, this marriage is not done. But fortunately, it will not be done until next month, and there is still room for change. You leave this matter to me, and I'll figure it out. Mu Qing's expression became solemn.

"Brother, it's you who give me the aftermath every time." Zhilan became shy, and she blushed when she looked at him now.

"You are my sweetheart, I only have you in my heart, I am obligated to do your business, even if you want me to pick the stars in the sky, I will try my best to do it for you." Mu Qing said affectionately.

Zhilan lowered her head uncomfortably, listening to his confession, in fact, she was also emotional.

"Lan'er, I want to hear you shout Mu Qing, okay?"

"It's at home."

"It's just the two of us now. Call me, I want to listen. ”

Zhilan didn't expect that a handsome and handsome man would also be coquettish, and suddenly had no idea about him. She turned her head to look at the smiling face that was close to her, something she knew and loved.

Suddenly, she had never been like this, hoping to live again. She has always been a sensible child in her father's eyes, living in a decent manner, and then obeying the arrangement to marry the right son, husband and child, such a life can be seen to the end at a glance, she forced herself to face her inner voice. In fact, she suddenly realized that she was losing herself unconsciously, so she shouldn't care about the world, she is herself.

She had an epiphany, Mu Qing had already occupied her heart, she could always sense his joys and sorrows, follow his advice, and consider everything for him, this is the germ of feelings, since she knew that they were not brothers and sisters, the sprout woke up and grew up.

"Mu Qing." She no longer hesitated and looked up at him.

Mu Qing couldn't help but lean over and kiss her again, this kiss was like his person, gentle and gentle. Zhilan was confused, her mind was blank, and she was overwhelmed by him in her arms and followed her heart.

At the end of this long kiss, Zhilan's head was a little dizzy. Before she could react, Mu Qing directly hugged her and sat on her lap. This is a more intimate posture, even Li Shaowen didn't get so close to her, Zhilan became more and more shy, and Mu Qing's lips lingered in her ears and neck.

Zhilan stared at him for a long time, trusting him deeply, he was her sense of security, she never guarded herself in front of him, natural and affectionate.

This feeling is different from what Li Shaowen brings, it turns out that this is the taste of love, in the past, Li Shaowen just took the initiative to arrange the itinerary and passively accepted it, and there was not much turmoil in his heart.

Mu Qing looked at her face: "Why are you crying again?" He sensed her emotions turn to sadness.

"No, I'm sad for a while, I'm afraid that our affairs won't last long, in case the Li family ......"

"Shh~ Don't worry, I'll hold you when the sky falls." Mu Qing sealed her lips with her index finger, deliberately teasing, "Who made me taller than you?" ”

of Lan Waner. Mu Qing stared at her stupidly, as if remembering her eyebrows and smiles. He made up his mind that when he found a way to get rid of Li Shaowen's family affair, he would find a way to disclose her identity and then marry her. Even if Li Shaowen makes a move, he will not hesitate to do anything for her.

There was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Zhilan bounced out of his arms and distanced herself from him.

"I'm Phoenix. Second Young Master, I went to your room and there was no one, I guess you are here, I brought you the civilian clothes you often wear. ”

"Come in."

Phoenix opened the door, and with only a keen glance, she sensed that something was wrong with the young master's atmosphere. She handed the civilian clothes to Mu Qing with confusion.

She was going to habitually change it for Mu Qing, but the hand she stretched out was blocked by him, and she couldn't help but be stunned.

"Go down." Mu Qingdao.

The phoenix answered and went out.

Mu Qing took the civilian clothes, deliberately teased Lan, and said with a smile: "Lan'er, come and help me change." ”

Zhilan was shy and didn't answer.

Mu Qing got up and pulled her to sit down beside her: "I want you to help me." Needless to say, he took off his satin vest, and Zhilan helped him hold it at first.

Mu Qing continued to take off his shirt, revealing half of his body, seeing Zhilan's face in a panic, he smiled deliberately: "Don't dare to look at me, and dare to say that you like me!" ”

"How dare you!" Zhilan was not to be outdone. She turned her head, Mu Qing was in excellent shape, and her slightly wheat-colored skin looked powerful, she really wanted to touch it and held back.

Mu Qing changed into civilian clothes, met her starry eyes, hugged her in his arms and said, "In the future, my body and mind will be yours." ”

Zhilan didn't answer, but the smile in her eyes was in her heart.

She gets a sweet kiss. Mu Qing continued: "I remember promising to give you a gift before. I've been rushing in the silver building these days, and it will be ready tomorrow, and I'll bring it to you when I come back. ”

"What is it?"

"Confidentiality."

"Don't, you tell me today, Mu Qing ......" Zhilan smiled and got tired of his arms, and was sealed by his kiss.

The two of them were so affectionate that they completely forgot the time, and they didn't reluctantly part until the phoenix knocked on the door again.

The next day, Zhilan was woken up by Mu Qing's good morning kiss. She opened her eyes and saw the enlarged handsome face beside the bed, his lips imprinted on her forehead, moist and warm.

"You're awake, get up and have breakfast. I'm going to work in the Silver Building. ”

"Leaving so early? I can't bear you! Zhilan was coquettish, stretching out her arm from the quilt and wrapping it around his neck.

"I'll be back with you a little earlier today." Mu Qing half-knelt beside the bed and said emotionally.

"Okay, go ahead, work matters."

Mu Qing nodded and got up and kissed her cheek. When he opened the door and came out, the phoenix was waiting at the top of the stairs and handed him his coat.

In the past two days, she felt that the interaction between the young master and the young lady was very different from before. But when she saw Mu Qing taking the clothes from her hand as before, smiling and thanking her as before, she couldn't help but laugh at her sensitivity.

After all, the second young master and the third young lady are brother and sister, even if the two have a friendship, how can anything happen? She shook her head as if to throw Qisi away, and turned into the room to clean up.

Zhilan washed up and went downstairs for breakfast. The eldest lady and Yuehua were polite to her, and their attitude was much better than before, but she still felt uncomfortable. Watching the servants shuttle, she was like an outsider, not deliberately, but her mentality had changed.

She had never felt such a hard day. Although she was as usual, she couldn't read, couldn't draw, and couldn't even sit and lie down. And she missed Mu Qing like never before, and she had never had this feeling of "lovesickness when walking and sitting" when dating Li Shaowen before.

It was easy to hear the clock in the living room ringing three times, and as soon as the door rang, I couldn't help but be full of joy, and rushed out of the door to see that it was Mu Qing who was back. She smiled and stood upstairs looking at him. Mu Qing handed the clothes in his hand to the servant by the door, and stepped up to the second floor in three or two steps.

"Coming back?" Zhilan's thousands of words are only combined into one sentence.

"Let's go, let's go into the room." Mu Qing pulled her into the room.

Steward Zhou raised his eyes downstairs and looked at Mu Qing and Zhilan, and there was no expression on his face. He looked at it for a moment, and then the phoenix passed by him with a basin of water, and the phoenix lowered his head and prepared to go upstairs.

"Second Young Master is back?!" Steward Zhou didn't know whether he was talking to himself or casually taking a phoenix.

Phoenix replied, "Yes." ”

"There you go."

Phoenix saw that Steward Zhou had already left with his hands behind his back.

The two people in the room couldn't help but hug each other. Mu Qing said: "The ancients said that if you don't see each other for a day, you can see what it tastes like today." I miss you, busy finishing the work at hand, and came back early to accompany you. Do you miss me? ”

"I'm the same, I don't know why it's so hard today?"

Mu Qing hasn't washed his hands and face yet. Zhilan originally wanted to let Yancui draw water, but he didn't want the phoenix to knock on the door with a basin of water.

Zhilan opened the door and summoned the phoenix in. She naturally took the hand towel from the Phoenix mobile phone number, patiently waited for him to wash his hands and face, and handed it to him to dry. Phoenix watched coldly, vaguely feeling that they were clearly a couple or a couple. She was stunned, Mu Qing instructed her to carry the water down, and then she came back to her senses and retreated.

The door closed. Mu Qing took out the gift for her, and he held a delicate box in his hand. Zhilan opened it and saw that it was a gold ring inlaid with pearls, called "Pearl".

Mu Qing knelt down on one knee with the ring in his hand and said to her, "I hope Lan'er can give me a chance to take care of and accompany you for the rest of your life." ”

"I'm willing to give you a chance." Zhilan said shyly.

Mu Qing happily put the ring on her.

"This is the 'pearl' of my design?" Zhilan stared at the ring, his palm turning over and over.

"Yes, I like the design of your 'pearl' very much, I have had this pearl before, and it was not until I saw your design that I felt that it was a good place." Mu Qing smiled, "Beautiful, very flattering to you." ”

"I also liked that design so much, I didn't expect it to be so beautiful."

"Lan'er, you promised me, we have made a lifelong covenant. Li Shaowen, don't worry, leave it all to me to settle it, you just need to wait for my news at home, okay? ”

"Uh-huh." Zhilan looked at the ring on her finger, and the gemstone ring she threw in the drawer came to mind, and the farther away she threw it, the better, Zhilan said in her heart.

The two of them were in one place, and suddenly time flew by. At night, Mu Qing looked at the account books, and Zhilan was bored by his side, so Mu Qing instructed her to study. She has a high level of understanding and learns quickly, watching her work hard to help him by her side, Mu Qing feels that the boring business in the past is more fun, it turns out that the ancients are really beautiful and happy to read at night.

Zhilan silently accompanied him for one night, and they only dispersed when they washed up and went to bed. Sweet dreams accompanied her all night, and when she opened her eyes, it was a new day, and she felt like a dream.
