Chapter 7: Brother Jinlan
After Mo Yan left, Ruan Yezhen, who was already standing beside Xie Jinlan, smiled: "You can really see me." β
Xie Jinlan, who was sitting on the stone bench, didn't look at her: "What if you can see it?" β
Judging by her words and deeds, I'm afraid that she doesn't even know herself, why did she become what she is now? In this way, there is nothing to be afraid of.
Ruan Yezhen looked at Xie Jinlan quite worriedly: "I tried, except for you, everyone can't see me." I think this must be God's arrangement, God specially arranged for you to help me. β
The voice was soft and glutinous, unconsciously with a hint of coquettishness.
If the person in front of him was Ruan Yezhen's father and brother, I am afraid that my heart would have softened a long time ago, and everything depended on her.
It's just a pity that this person is Xie Jinlan, who doesn't know her and has no pity for her.
I saw him glance at Ruan Yezhen with a smile: "So what?" β
Ruan Yezhen choked when she heard this, then puffed out her cheeks and glared at Xie Jinlan fiercely: "If you don't help me, I will ...... I'll follow you all the time! Pestering you! Nagging in your ear all day long! You can't be quiet! β
Ruan Yezhen was born with a delicate and soft appearance, but at the moment, she looks angry, like a fried kitten, and she has no threatening momentum at all.
Xie Jinlan thought to herself: Even threatening words are so naΓ―ve, I am afraid that I have been pampered since I was a child.
Seeing Xie Jinlan's unmoved appearance, Ruan Yezhen was even more angry: "Save someone's life, and win a seventh-level floating slaughter!" How can you be so hard-hearted! β
I don't know what came to mind, Xie Jinlan laughed mockingly: "The Buddha said, 'Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground', but a good person has to go through nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties before he can become a Buddha." So, why should I be a good person? β
Ruan Yezhen felt that what he said was wrong, but she racked her brains and didn't know how to refute it.
Looking at Ruan Yezhen's anxious face, Xie Jinlan sneered in her heart: How can a young lady like her, who is raised in the boudoir, understand this sinister world?
Xie Jinlan's appearance of not entering oil and salt made Ruan Yezhen a little exhausted.
Hey?
At this time, she suddenly noticed something unusual.
Was she too flustered to notice? Or is she in too much of a hurry now, so she has delusions?
Thinking like this, Ruan Yezhen calmed down, and Ai Ai opened her mouth: "Hey, you can say a few more words." β
When Xie Jinlan heard this, he glanced at Ruan Yezhen quite strangely and was silent.
Ruan Yezhen also knew that her request was very strange, but she still opened her mouth with a hard face: "Don't say a few words, ten ...... No...... Just five words. β
As he spoke, he cautiously stretched out his weak and boneless right hand towards Xie Jinlan.
At this time, Xie Jinlan moved.
I saw him get up from the stone bench, directly past Ruan Yezhen, and walked in the direction of the master bedroom.
At the same time, he shouted loudly: "Mo Yan, prepare hot water!" β
"Yes! My lord! Mo Yan left in response.
Ruan Yezhen, who was left behind, was not only not angry, but looked happy.
Even though the man's attitude was not good, she still got the answer she wanted!
Seeing Xie Jinlan walking away, Ruan Yezhen hurriedly chased after him: "Hey, what should I call you?" I'm afraid that the time we will get along in the future will not be short, I can't keep calling you like this, right? β
"Xie Jinlan." Xu was annoyed by what Ruan Yezhen said, and Xie Jinlan spit out three words concisely.
"Is it Jinlan who 'Huai Jin holds Yu, shocks the rain and turns the algae'?" Ruan Yezhen was not hit by Xie Jinlan's coldness at all.
Seeing that Xie Jinlan was silent, Ruan Yezhen knew that she had guessed correctly, and her face couldn't help but smile even happier: "Then can I call you Brother Jinlan in the future?" β
Xie Jinlan paused, and glanced at Ruan Yezhen with a smile: "You have such an attitude towards strange men?" β
"Huh?" Ruan Yezhen was slightly stunned, and then understood what Xie Jinlan meant, "In the past, I never talked to strange men. At home, that's how I call my brothers in the family. β
Although Ruan Yezhen looked well-behaved and lovely at the moment, Xie Jinlan was still unmoved: "You and I are not familiar with each other, besides, I don't want you to call me like that." β
After a pause, Xie Jinlan glanced at Ruan Yezhen meaningfully: "Could it be that the girl appeared in front of people like this in the past?" β
Ruan Yezhen was stunned for a moment, and her eyes followed Xie Jinlan's gaze and fell on herself.
Realizing that she was wearing a disheveled hair at the moment, dressed in a bedgown, and only wearing socks on her feet, she couldn't help but exclaim and hugged herself.
Immediately, her face suddenly turned red, her feet shrank back, and she glared at Xie Jinlan fiercely: "You turn your face!" Don't look at it! β
Xie Jinlan raised his eyebrows and looked away noncommittally.
Looking at Xie Jinlan's departing back, Ruan Yezhen slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
But she quickly remembered something, bit her lower lip slightly, a look of determination flashed in her eyes, and then raised her foot to catch up with Xie Jinlan's pace.
Walking beside Xie Jinlan, Ruan Yezhen hugged herself with both hands, pouted a little depressedly, and said, "I became like this in my sleep, so naturally I can only wear bed clothes." β
Seeing that Xie Jinlan didn't want to deal with herself, a trace of embarrassment flashed in Ruan Yezhen's eyes, but soon, a cute smile appeared on her face:
"Before finding out the murderer of this case, we can spend a lot of time together every day, and after we get acquainted with each other in the future, can I call you Brother Jinlan?"
Xie Jinlan glanced at Ruan Yezhen meaninglessly: "Are all the nobles of the family as scoundrels like you?" β
Without waiting for Ruan Yezhen to refute, he continued: "So, do you think my help is to find out the real culprit who killed Li Bao'er?" β
Ruan Yezhen immediately nodded like pounding garlic, and looked at him with a look of hope: "Mmmmmmmm So, are you going to help me? β
Xie Jinlan couldn't deny it: "I can't see that you, a deep daughter, are so concerned about the people." β
Ruan Yezhen couldn't hear Xie Jinlan's words, whether it was praise or disapproval. In this case, she should be regarded as a compliment.
When Ruan Yezhen opened her lips and wanted to speak, Xie Jinlan said again: "Or is it beneficial for you to find out the real murderer?" β
Ruan Yezhen was stunned instantly.
Seeing this, Xie Jinlan sneered: "Heh, that's the case!" β
As soon as the words fell, Xie Jinlan pushed open the door in front of him, walked into the room with his feet raised, sat down at the round table, and poured himself a glass of warm water.
Ruan Yezhen then walked to his side and retorted angrily:
"Why are your thoughts so dark! That's right, it's good for me to find out the real culprit! But if I hadn't been what I am now, and if such a thing had happened to me, I would have done the deceased justice, even if it had not done me the slightest! β
'It is indispensable to defend against others. But to be born as a human being, one should have good intentions in this world. These are the words that my mother herself taught her. And she has always felt that her mother's words are reasonable.
