Wanyou hurried back to the city, and when he entered the corner of Qingwan Street, he glanced at the alley on the side, and a white figure suddenly came into view.

She was so stunned that she forgot to hold the reins of the horse, and when she reacted, the horse had already carried her through three or four shops. She didn't know what she was thinking, but before the horse could stop she tumbled off it, and she fell down, but she seemed to be completely unconcerned, and got up and galloped down the alley.

As soon as she entered the alley, she froze there, leaned against the wall, and did not go inside. The alley is extremely narrow, sandwiched between two vermilion walls. Even if the sun is shining today, the sun can only see half of the wall.

The path made of stones extends to the far and gloomy end, and the whole alley looks very deep and secluded, hundreds of zhang away, the white-clothed man who has shocked Wan You is standing here. She didn't recognize the wrong person. That person, but it was Bai Yi.

But he wasn't standing alone in the alley, he was holding a girl in his arms. The posture was horizontal, one hand wrapped around the girl's knees, the other hand held the girl's back, the girl's hand around his neck, as if very attached to him, and then put her face on it. Wan You couldn't see the girl's face clearly, but judging from the girl's figure and the material of the skirt, the girl was probably the ninth princess Wan Lin'er.

It was indeed Lin'er, but Wan Lin'er didn't notice Wan You. Wan Lin'er just came out of the Chunjiang Xiaolou and walked around with Bai Yi for a long time. Bai Yi was not in a good mood today, and she was also a little distracted when she followed him.

At that moment, she suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from the street. But before he could react, he was dragged into the alley by Bai Yi, and later he injured his leg because he walked too quickly, so he was picked up by Bai Yi. In an instant, she guessed that Bai Yi was hiding from someone, but who was she hiding, since the moment Bai Yi hugged her, she didn't have the heart to think about it anymore.

Wan You stood at the entrance of the alley, her eyes lingering on Lin'er for a while, and then, she frowned unconsciously. Suddenly, the joy of seeing Bai Yi condensed into ice in an instant, pressing her without warning, very cold and heavy.

She naturally knew that Bai Yi and Lin'er were also friends, so she was not surprised that he would take her out to eat tea and drink, but she never thought that their friendship would be so close.

Because she and her friends weren't very close in the first place. It turned out that Bai Yi had another friend who loved him and loved him, and when she saw Bai Yi holding Wan Lin'er at the moment, she would think of countless occasions in the past, as if he was hugging herself.

So will he wipe her tears when Lin'er cries? Lin'er will also hold her hand and comfort her when she is in pain? She was suddenly very angry, but she knew how to introspect like that, so she understood that there was no reason for this anger to come.

Bai Yi was looking at her. Obviously far away, the street market behind it was so lively, but when her eyes met him, she felt inexplicably silent.

The tails of his eyes were slightly raised, as if he was looking at her seriously, but she didn't see any joy or expectation in his eyes.

It's like he's always avoiding her, or never expecting to meet her again. The indifference in her gaze made her heart panic. Is it because he hasn't seen her for a month that he forgets about her?

Almost immediately, she found a good reason for him, and hurried forward, expecting and praying that perhaps a closer distance would heal the uncomfortable sense of estrangement. But before the third step could be taken, she saw his gaze look away.

She suddenly stopped, feeling the ice pressing on her heart seem to sink more, she looked up, instinctively wanted to call him, but he seemed to guess her thoughts, frowned, and turned before she could speak, as if planning to leave.

She was stunned, and in that moment, she seemed to hear Bai Yi standing behind her, shouting her name. She looked over excitedly, but in the lively streets, she couldn't see him. She suddenly lost her mind, and the sound seemed to be particularly desolate because of the falling leaves.

Bai Yi left with Wan Lin'er in his arms at this time, and his figure disappeared at the end of the alley in an instant. The alley was soon empty, leaving only the phrase "little evening" that she had just misheard echoed in her ears.

Wan Yu stood there, her face a little pale, and the falling leaves from the tree were like a hammer smashing into her heart, smashing the ice that weighed on her heart, and also hitting her heart. Tiny pieces of ice flowed down her blood to her limbs, and a moment later, she collapsed to the ground.

Although she felt very uncomfortable, she still went to Baifu again after lunch. Because she thought about it for a long time after calming down, she still didn't find a reason to be angry with Bai Yi.

Indeed, Bai Yi ignored her, making her very uncomfortable. But maybe Bai Yi and Wan Lin'er really had something serious at that time? Wan Lin'er is different from herself, she is often stuffy in the palace, and she will inevitably get sick, maybe Bai Yi is helping Wan Lin'er to explain?

The more she thought about it, the more reasonable she felt, because people who live in the palace all the year round are more prone to psychological problems, such as the queen mother, grandmother, mother who grew up in the palace before, and even the emperor's brother, everyone will have some problems.

But the problem is that even if Wan Yu thinks about it very well, no matter how much she makes excuses for Bai Yi, the pain in her heart has not been reduced by half a point.

She seemed to be ignorant of the reasons, but she instantly denied them, for she felt that she could not be so absurd.

On the Bai Mansion, it was still Chenxing who came out to greet her, and she explained the same night, saying that Bai Yi did come back last night, but at this time the Ninth Princess was in his mansion, and everything should be paid attention to come first and then come, and the Ninth Princess had an appointment first, so it was not very convenient to see her today. If His Royal Highness Wanyou has something urgent, you can submit a prayer post, His Royal Highness Bai Yi has been very busy these days, and His Highness Wanyou doesn't have to come to the house to look for him all day.

Wan You's heart chuckled, she stood there in a daze for a long time, came back to her senses, and said to Chenxing: "Bai ...... Brother Mu Yao thinks I'm a little clingy, doesn't he? ”

Chenxing looked a little surprised, but only said, "What does Your Highness mean, slave maid...... The slave did not dare to speculate. ”

Wanyou lowered her head: "Oh, that's it." Then you help me tell Brother Mu Yao, it's not ...... me to come here at this time" She said this a little against her will, and lowered her head again:

"I didn't necessarily want to see him, I just ran into him on the street, and then I stopped by to say hello," she tried to pretend that it didn't matter, that it didn't matter, but she couldn't restrain the sadness and loneliness in her voice:

"Well, now that he has a guest, I want to ...... Forget it. Chenxing looked at her with a slightly worried look on his face.

She touched her nose with her hand to cover up the loss in her heart and the grievances that suddenly came to her heart, pretended to be normal, and said, "Since Brother Mu Yao is so busy, then I won't come in the next few days." ”

But suddenly heard Chenxing open his mouth and ask her: "Your Highness's hand, what's the matter?" ”

She was stunned, looked at her hand, found some blood stains on the cuff of her left hand, and flipped the sleeve up. She bit her lip, as if she had just felt the pain, and found that there was an extra bruise on her forearm, probably when she pulled her sleeve just now, she had broken the bloody scab, and the wound began to bleed again.

Chenxing immediately stretched out his hand to see Wan You's wound, but Wan Yu quickly took a step back, shook his left hand again, and recklessly lowered his sleeve to cover the terrible scar. After thinking about it, he explained:

"Maybe I didn't pay attention just now, I tripped over something and fell, it's nothing." Then he pretended to be cheerful again: "Sister, go back and return to Brother Mu Yao, I won't bother you." With that, he turned around and left.

There is a pavilion built in the middle of the water in the Bai Mansion, and there is a wooden table under the pavilion, and Bai Yi sits at the stone table and carves a piece of jade. Wan Lin'er sat under a maple tree outside the pavilion and solved the chess game.

Chenxing is not very familiar with chess, but she always feels that Wan Lin'er is a little absent-minded today, but she can't see why.

When she got close to Bai Yiyi, Chen Xing was a little hesitant, she wasn't sure if Bai Yi wanted to listen to her immediately about the evening and didn't want to. After hesitating for a moment, she felt that she couldn't figure out her Royal Highness's thoughts at this time, so she went to change a cup of hot tea for him first.

The new tea Bai Yi has never touched, only focused on the carving in his hand, it is a piece of white jade with red Qin on the top, Bai Yi carved it into a pair of cranes with necks, and the red Qin naturally became a little red on the top of the crane, although only half of the carving, the spirituality of the crane has been called out.

Chenxing waited on the sidelines, and it wasn't until Wan Lin'er was about to finish the chess game that she heard Bai Yi ask her, "How is she?" ”

Chenxing whispered: "Her Royal Highness Wanyou, she is a reasonable highness, after listening to the words of the slave maid, she did not embarrass the slave maid, and went back by herself very obediently." ”

"Okay." Bai Yi said lightly, still staring at the jade piece in his hand, carefully carving the crane feathers of the crane on the right, as if Fang Cai just asked casually, but he didn't really care what Chen Xing answered him.

"But His Highness doesn't look good." Chenxing pondered. Seeing Bai Yi's movements, he paused, but it was only a very short moment, and the carving knife had once again slashed across the jade surface, and it was another neat stroke of crane feathers.

Chenxing whispered: "She thought that Your Highness didn't like her being too clingy to you, so let me tell Your Highness that she wasn't so clingy, but she happened to meet you on the street today, so she stopped by to say hello to you." ”

Under the maple tree, Lin'er's last chess piece was settled, and the courtyard seemed extremely silent, and the pavilion could only hear the sound of the carving knife in Bai's hand cutting through the jade face.

Chenxing continued, "But the slave doesn't think it's true. She lowered her eyes and said,

"She came panting, sweating profusely, as if she was running by, maybe she accidentally broke her arm when chasing His Highness back to the house, and half of her sleeves were bloodstained, but she didn't notice it, and when the slave told her, she felt as if it hurt, but she only frowned," she paused, "but when the slave said that His Highness couldn't see her, she looked like she was about to cry." ”

The jade fell on the stone table and shattered.

Chen Xing raised his eyes suddenly, and saw that the sharp carving knife pierced into Bai Yi's palm, about a little deep, and when the carving knife was pulled out and thrown aside, blood almost immediately gushed out of the wound, dripping onto the stone table, and the broken jade was stained red.

Chenxing snorted lightly, and quickly took out the towel from his arms and handed it over, but Bai Yi didn't take it, just sat there and looked at his palm expressionlessly, for a long time, he tore off a piece of sleeve at will, hastily wrapped the wound, and looked up to Chenxing and said:

"Fetch another piece of jade." It's like nothing happened.

Wanyou kicked the small stone all the way back. She didn't eat anything at noon, but she didn't feel hungry, and when she passed by an herbal tea shop, she suddenly felt a little thirsty, so she bought a cup of herbal tea.

Today, the herbal tea shop is doing well, several tables are full of people, and she is not particular, so she sits on the curb with tea in her hand for a while. She sat there squatting and sighing as she sipped her tea. She was so disappointed in herself.

When Chenxing told her that Bai Yi couldn't see her because of Wan Lin'er, she finally understood that she was really that ridiculous. She was jealous of Wan Lin'er. A large part of the reason why she is uncomfortable and unhappy today is because she suddenly realized that Bai Yi seemed to treat Wan Lin'er better than her.

But this jealousy is actually very unreasonable, Wan Lin'er was born extraordinary, but Bai Yi also has something extraordinary, and the abilities of the two are extremely similar. Bai Yi treats Lin'er better, which is really justified. But if you compare her with Wan Lin'er, then she is simply useless. If one day Bai Yi no longer wants her to be his friend, she and him will be nothing. In fact, she has never been able to compare with Wan Lin'er.

When she realized this, she felt a chill in her heart for a moment, so after drinking the herbal tea, she asked for another cup of hot tea, wanting to warm up. After drinking tea, she kicked the stone all the way back, passed by the Baicao House on the way, and went in to bandage the wound, but she had no intention of staying, so she changed into men's clothes and went to Linglong Hall.

After entering Linglong Hall, she went straight to find Hu Die, and Hu Die saw that she was preoccupied, so she opened five jars of aged wine, and threatened to accompany you to get drunk and rest! Who would have thought that Hu Die was so drunk that he fell to the ground halfway through, leaving only Wanyou still pouring wine into his mouth one by one, and after a while, he was drunk fiercely.

Wanyou's problem is that when she gets drunk, she loves to climb high.

Last time, she drank the pear blossom brew of Chunjiang Xiaolou to the third altar, and climbed to the top of a hundred-year-old tree outside the building, because Fang Yuan drank the pear blossom brew of Chunjiang Xiaolou last time she drank to the third altar, and climbed to the top of a hundred-year-old tree outside the building, because the tree was the tallest within a radius of 100 zhang. This time, Hu Die's several bottles of spirits were also drunk to the third jar, and she climbed to the ridge of the tenth floor of the Baicao House, because the building was the tallest within a radius of 100 zhang.

She sat on the roof with her feet crossed in a daze, and the troubles in the day had long been forgotten, only to feel that sitting so high that she could almost look down on the entire Ping'an City, it was really enjoyable, and at the same time, the wine Hu Die picked was so delicious, Hu Die was really a confidant.

She sat on the roof and drank the wine jar to the bottom, and did not expect that there were two jars downstairs, and saw a few young children playing with lanterns and chasing shadows on the street not far away, and thought it was very interesting, so she threw the wine jar and bounced on the roof to chase her own shadow.

She has been riding and shooting since she was a child, and she has excellent balance, so although she staggered with every step as if she was about to fall, she always managed to stabilize herself with every step.

She played with herself for a while, and when her eyes swept over the shooting range downstairs, she caught a white coat looming behind the trunk of the towering locust tree next to the shooting range. This garment always feels familiar......

Her gaze was fixed on the spot, and a thick cloud suddenly obscured the moonlight, and the white garment quickly disappeared into the darkness. When the clouds cleared and the moonlight returned, there was nothing.

If she hadn't been drunk, she would have been dazzled by the evening tryst, but she was drunk tonight.

The drunk Wanyu didn't doubt his eyes at all. She stood on the edge of the eaves and thought for a while, then turned around, aimed her right leg at the void that was not covered by the tile, put her right hand in the palm of her left hand and beat the beat to encourage herself: "One, two." When the word "two" came out, she closed her eyes, stepped on her right foot in the air, and fell out.

In Wanyou's imagination, she should be like a wounded white bird, suddenly falling into the night wind. But the man moved faster than she had expected, and although she lost her balance with her right foot, the man caught her before her left foot could leave the eaves.

The fragrance on that man's body is like the moonlight tonight, so quiet and so cold. Sure enough, it was Bai Yi. Wan Yu smiled.

Before she could open her eyes, Wanyou had already held her on the eaves and stood firm, and then he let go of her. "What are you doing?" The voice was like moonlight, cold. And it was an angry rebuke.

But her drunken brain did not receive this, but was simply happy to see him, and was happy to share it with him:

"Oh, I guess it's Brother Mu Yao, you are there, I think if it were you, then you would definitely catch me, and I would jump down!"

She looked at him with no guilt. His gaze fell on his tightly knit brows, and then moved to his eyes, and finally saw his solemn countenance. He looked at her too, and there was no warmth in his brown-black pupils. This is cold, and I don't look forward to seeing her Bai Yi.

Everything in the day suddenly returned to her mind, and grievances and confusion suddenly came to her heart, she was stunned for a moment, and suddenly became sad: "Why Brother Mu Yao...... You get angry when you see me? ”

He didn't answer her question, just frowned and said, "You're drunk." ”

"I'm not drunk." She said immediately, but thinking that she had indeed drunk a lot of wine, she gestured three fingers, "Well, I drank five jars." Again, she stressed, "But...... Not drunk. But suddenly his feet went limp.

He stretched out his hand to support her and helped her to stand firm again, she carefully distinguished the look on his face: "Brother Mu Yao, don't you want to see me?" He still didn't answer her question, but said, "What if it's not me?" She didn't want to admit it, but she was drunk, but even though she was drunk, she reacted quickly and understood what he was talking about almost immediately.

The grass house is ten stories high, and she pointed to a platform full of flowers and plants protruding from the eighth floor, and replied to him very easily: "Then I will fall on the platform, it is not high, and I can't die." ”

"Really?" Her mind was clearer at this time, so she was sensitive to the coldness in the voice, and she looked up a little confused, just in time to meet his equally cold gaze. He looked at her coldly:

"As long as you don't fall to your death, it doesn't matter if you break your hands and feet, right? I thought you were growing up and sensible, he looked at her coldly: "As long as you don't fall to your death, it doesn't matter if you break your hands and feet, right?" I thought you were grown up and sensible. ”

She was silent for a moment and whispered, "You're angry." Suddenly looked up at him very sternly, "Why are you angry when you see me?"

It seemed that she remembered the important issue that made her sad again, but she had temporarily forgotten because he changed the topic, and she looked at Bai Yi angrily and sadly, "You don't get angry when you see Lin'er!" ”

His tone was still cold: "Because she doesn't make me angry." Hearing his answer, she seemed to burst into tears at once:

"Is Wan Lin'er better than me?"

He looked at her quietly: "Why are you comparing with her?" She shook her head, but didn't answer him, and probably she didn't know why she was shaking her head. She just felt a little tired, so she sat down, and after thinking for a while, she covered her eyes:

"Then you just think she's better than me." She didn't cry, but her voice was soft and tired, and then she sighed sadly:

"Let's go." She thought he would leave immediately. She also felt that he didn't want to see her at all tonight, why he didn't want to see her, and she asked for a reason, because she always made him angry. Therefore, his attitude during the day also has all the answers, that is, she annoys him.

Tonight she was occasionally not very bright, so she couldn't remember what she had done to upset him, but he had always been smarter than her, so what he said was what he said.

She didn't know how to redeem it, but she felt a heaviness. She blamed herself for thinking about the unhappy things, she had forgotten them, and she felt happy when she had forgotten.

She waited for him to leave, but the expected footsteps were not heard.

The huge moon rings lit up the whole city, and it was late at night, and the whole city was quiet, except for the distant street market, which was still lit up like a star falling from the night. The wind was quiet, but it was still cold, and it made her sneeze as it swam past her. Something was handed to her, and she looked up, but it was a white coat.

"Put it on." The child, who was supposed to leave, looked down at her. She glanced at the shirt in his hand, then at him, then she turned her head, ignoring him, staring intently at her own shadow at her feet. He paused, and sat down beside her, and with it the coat draped over her shoulders.

She turned her head in astonishment, just as he was allowed to take her right hand through the outstretched sleeve, and she froze, letting him dress her like a young child.

She sat there stunned, not knowing how to react, and finally she felt that she should have a little backbone, so she struggled to take off the shirt that he had already dressed neatly, but he restrained her:

"Don't be willful." He frowned. Tonight she had heard enough of his accusations, so she didn't care, and had the courage to murmur to him:

"I just want to be willful, you can't control it!" The struggle is even worse.

He suddenly said, "It's me who is not good." She blinked, and he pulled up and closed the half-stripped coat she had struggled to take off, looked at her, and said, "It's me who is not good." ”

Her eyes suddenly turned red, she bit her lip hard, and said loudly, "It's just that you're not good!" But she no longer insisted on taking off the blouse, she lowered her head and rolled up her sleeves, and after a while began to count his crimes:

"You ignore me, you don't see me, you still murder me, you still say that Wan Lin'er is better than me, you are still ......" but because he said too fast and too angry, he was choked by himself.

Bai Yi's hand almost immediately caressed her back, and he seemed a little helpless: "I didn't say that." ”

She remembered it, but her mind was so muddy that she couldn't remember what he had just said, so she nodded, "Oh, that's not what you said." ”

But the impression that Wan Lin'er was better than her made her very sad for a while, and she asked Bai Yi with red eyes:

"Is Wan Lin'er as good-looking as me?" But without waiting for him to answer, he shook his head categorically, "I don't think I'm as good-looking as I am!" ”

asked him again: "Is Wan Lin'er as smart as me?" Still not waiting for him to answer, he shook his head categorically, "I don't think I'm smart at all!" ”

Asked him again: "Is Wan Lin'er as considerate as me?" This time she finally gave him time to answer, but he didn't, he just looked at her, and his complexion was finally no longer cold, but she couldn't understand what was contained in that perfect countenance.

She never understood him, so she didn't care, she just thought, oh, he didn't want to answer that question. She thought about it for a while, but she was not so confident about being considerate, so she said with some hesitation,

"That'...... I think we might just be as considerate. She wanted to ask more: "Wan Lin'er has me...... but shook her head in annoyance, "Forget it." ”

He took her hand as she quieted down: "You don't have to compare with her. But this did not seem to comfort her, she lowered her head, looked at the hands he held, and for a long time, she whispered:

"Actually, Wan Lin'er can play the piano, play chess, and draw very well, but I don't know much about what she can do." She sniffed hard and plucked up the courage to confess to him,

"I, I'm very disagreeable, I don't like Wan Lin'er because Wan Lin'er is actually a good friend."

"Is she a good friend, and what?" He asked her.

She threw herself into his arms, her arms wrapped hard around his shoulders, her face pressed against his chest, and she choked out the deepest fears in her heart:

"Because I'm afraid I'm no longer the one you're unique, I'm afraid you'll leave me sooner or later."

For a moment, Bai Yi was stunned. He didn't remember that there was a person in this world who could make him lose his mind and lose his mind with just one sentence; Even Yan Wan probably hasn't been. For a long time, he closed his eyes. But he didn't respond to her hug.

Yes, sooner or later he will leave the mortal realm and leave her. So she needs to get used to it a little earlier. Tonight was too much, and it wouldn't do her any good to go on like this.

He shouldn't have come to this place tonight; Or even if he came, he shouldn't have appeared in front of her; Or even if he appeared in front of her, he should no longer give her the illusion of closeness; Or even if he couldn't help but get close to her, he would never be able to respond to this hug; It all has to end here.

He grabbed her arm and tried to push her away, but at that moment, she looked up. So close.

Once again, he froze. She seemed to be crying, her dark eyes filled with tears, lonely and sad, like the deepest part of the sea. Her eyebrows and eyes were full of emotion, sadness, sorrow, but there was no expression on her face, instinctively maintaining her self-esteem.

She just looked at him like that, she didn't do it often, or she didn't realize that she was like this at this time, but the delicate and beautiful revealed in the sadness was almost irresistible to Shiraichi.

But he finally pushed her away before he gave in. But he forgot her stubbornness, and before he could react, she hugged him again, and there was a soft sound of corrugated beneath him, and he was crushed by her in a trance.

In a hurry, her lips swept across his cheeks, cold lips, but like a little spark burning his face.

He looked at her suddenly, but she didn't pay attention, one hand supported his chest, the other hand was on his shoulder, she still didn't cry, and there was still no expression on her face, but she bit her lip hard, and looked at him stubbornly:

Mu Yao...... Mu Yao, you are not allowed to leave, we haven't ...... yet"

He grabbed her by the collar and pulled her down, then he kissed her on the lips. He felt the sudden stiffness of her body, but this time, he didn't let her go again.
