Tao Yao had to obediently follow Lin Rui back to Yunshan.

After returning to the mountain, the two first went to meet the master.

"Little Fourteen, I heard that you ran away to play again?" The master joked for the old disrespectful!

They regard Tao Yao's every escape as playfulness, so they always think that she is still a playful little girl.

"The apprentice is back, how is everything with the master?" Tao Yao greeted him.

In fact, the master is not old, he is a middle-aged man in his 40s and less than 50, regardless of age, looking at his current appearance, it is not difficult to see how handsome and chic he should have been when he was young.

But one thing that makes Tao Yao feel bad is that this master is really naughty.

"Very good, very good! Now that Rui'er is back, and you are back, everything is fine. He looked at her and Lin Rui very lovingly, and there was a hint of playfulness in his deep eyes.

In the next second, he instructed in an old fatherly tone: "But little fourteen, you should also accept your playful nature, after all, you are a big girl." ”

Tao Yao felt a burst of disdain in her heart, why did she run away so hard?

Tao Yao glanced at the two people in front of him, and it was clearly a middle-aged fox and a young fox! Sometimes she wondered if Lin Rui hadn't been brought up by this master, would it make people look more pleasing to the eye?

After a few more cold words, Tao Yao said goodbye to the master and returned to his yard.

And the master seemed to have something to explain to Lin Rui, so he kept him.

As soon as Tao Yao entered the door, Xiaolan greeted her, and the first thing that caught her eye was her crying face.

"Princess, why did you escape like this time? You've told the slave before, but you're scared to death this time. She said over and over again, wiping away tears.

Tao Yao looked at her and was very pity: "Okay, okay, aren't I coming back?" This time it's me who is bad. ”

"Woo Woo Princess, it's good that you're back, otherwise Lin Gongzi ......" She cried even more desolately.

Tao Yao was a little curious: "How is Lin Gongzi?" ”

I saw Xiaolan wiping her tears, and did not say the words behind her: "No, it's nothing, princess, Lin Gongzi is very angry this time." ”

Tao Yao knew in her heart, and she knew that he was angry when she faced her ice cube on the mountain road.

It's just that she still has a lot of doubts in her heart, who can explain it to her.

Xiaolan brought a plate of hot water to wipe her face, and soon, the little junior brother came with a plate of osmanthus cake.

"Senior sister, you're finally back." He grinned kindly, and his face was still so familiar after a few days of not seeing him.

Tao Yao picked up a piece of pastry and tasted it, this Fu Bo's craftsmanship is still so good, the pastry is sweet but not greasy, and it melts in the mouth.

"When did Senior Brother come back?" Tao Yao asked nonchalantly.

The little junior brother replied happily: "Senior brother was supposed to come back on the day you returned from the palace, but it seems that something was delayed on the way, so you didn't come back until two days after you escaped." ”

She thought about this and this for a moment, and didn't say anything.

"Senior sister, as soon as my senior brother returned to the mountain and heard that you ran away again, he immediately sent someone to look for it non-stop, where are you going to be happy these days?" He seemed particularly interested in her experiences outside.

It turned out that Lin Rui still went to look for her.

The little junior brother saw that she didn't want to answer him, and was very displeased: "Senior sister, you are really hateful!" Just wait for Senior Brother to punish you, I won't intercede for you this time! ”

As soon as he finished saying this, Lin Rui walked in from outside the door.

"Ah Li, you go down first." He instructed the junior brother.

Although the little junior brother looked reluctant, he still retreated under his cold gaze.

Lin Rui, this person, it's really scary to be cold.

He slammed the door shut and sat down across from Tao Yao, without saying a word.

This kind of Lin Rui makes people feel awkward and panicked, she would rather him open his mouth to scold, cold violence or something is really uncomfortable.

The two sat opposite each other, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was indescribably weird.

After a while, Xiaolan knocked on the door to break the embarrassment. However, Lin Rui didn't let her in, and only told her not to disturb her if she was fine.

In the end, he opened his mouth first: "I haven't seen you for more than a year, do you still have my senior brother in your heart?" ”

Tao Yao thought that she didn't have it, but she couldn't say it, so she had to say the opposite hypocritically: "I have it." "So as not to upset him.

He still looked at her with a complicated expression: "Very good, I see that you are very happy in that He Mansion!" ”

What is he talking about?

"Where do you say senior brother? Tao Yao is just for a living. She explained with rare sincerity.

"Then Young Master He treats you very well?" His long, narrow fox eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a danger.

Tao Yao also knew that it was not good: "Senior brother will be wrong, then Young Master He doesn't treat me well, and he still embarrass me everywhere." ”

"Really?" He was constricted, and the meaning of his complicated eyes was unclear.

The next second, he got up and sat down beside her, stretched out his arms, and hugged her.

This ambiguous hug had not been seen for more than a year, and Tao Yao leaned against his chest, and the familiar faint rosin fragrance came from his snort.

She was familiar with his intimate movements, but she was not familiar with his heartbeat rate, which was very different from usual.

After a long time, he spoke: "Do you know what I am going to do when I go down the mountain?" ”

Tao Yao did not reply, this was her usual attitude, and he continued to say to himself.

"This year I went down the mountain, I went to investigate the traitorous party because of my father's entrustment, and I went to the foreign country to get the merit in the foreign country because I incarnated as a show, but in fact, it was to find out the details of the chaotic party, this year is really long, but now it has been fully investigated, but it still can't avoid the war between the two countries."

I had heard from the He family that there was chaos on the frontier before, but this national event was really not something she could control.

Tao Yao is not Lin Rui, she doesn't have a broad mind to worry about the country and the people, it is enough for her to love herself. She also knows that such thoughts are really selfish, but it is not easy to take care of herself.

"The war was already very troublesome, and you are still running away at this time," he said, squeezing her cheek with his fingers, "Do you know that you are wrong?" ”

She reached out and rubbed her pinched face, in fact, he didn't push too hard, but it was still a little itchy.

"Senior brother, I know that I am wrong." Tao Yao can only bow her head, facing this fox, she really can't be disobedient, otherwise she will bear the consequences.

Listening to her confession, he seemed to be half gentle, and stroked the hair on her forehead: "I heard that the emperor gave you a marriage to Chu Ge?" ”

His voice couldn't hear any emotion at the moment.

Tao Yao chuckled in her heart, it was really bad, although she had already asked her father to withdraw from the marriage, she didn't want to tell Lin Rui, but talked about another thing.

"Didn't my father marry my senior brother and the fifth emperor sister? You two are really talented and beautiful, you are a good match, you are a destined natural pair. I just heard her voice speak flatly.

"Oh? Am I a good match for her? Do you really think so? It was not difficult to hear the dangerous anger revealed in Lin Rui's tone, and the strength of hugging her increased a little.

In normal times, Tao Yao had already admitted that she would not answer, but this time she unexpectedly said "um".

He pushed her away, his beautiful eyes looked at her for a minute, and suddenly he laughed very strikingly: "Good, good! ”

Although he smiled beautifully, his eyes did not have half a smile, which made Tao Yao panic, a little more terrifying than he was angry at her.

I thought that he would suddenly change his face in the next second, but unexpectedly, he walked to the door without warning, and still pushed the door and walked away, without the slightest impatience in his behavior.

Tao Yao sighed, man, you are so complicated, she has never guessed what Lin Rui is thinking in her heart.

Although she is not Bingxue's smart and empathetic master, it is not that she is unaware of his thoughts about herself over the years.

She knew what he meant, but she couldn't be afraid of him.
