Lin Jiaruo walked out of the door lightly, Mu Da followed behind her, and asked at a loss, "Miss Lin, where are you going?" ”

Without waiting for Lin Jiaruo to answer, he continued to persuade: "Actually, it doesn't matter if you go in, sooner or later we will meet......

Lin Jiaruo shook his head and said in a low voice: "You and the others tell me, don't tell the lady that I have been here." ”

"Why?" Mu Da was puzzled.

"I came and went, and when the lady found out, she would definitely be sad and blame herself, so she thought that I had been in the Lin family."

The little girl was so considerate and sensible, Mu Da couldn't bear to see it: "Then you can go in!" Our lord is also very—and not very serious......" This remark seemed a little weak.

Lin Jiaruo shook his head and said, "I went, but it was only to increase the embarrassment, it was rare for her to be so happy......"

It's like she is angry, so soft-spoken, and it's not like her usual......

Looking up and seeing the worry in Mu Da's eyes, Lin Jiaruo bent his lips and said with a smile: "I'm not a child anymore, don't worry about me, I'm just - go back to my own home." ”

It's just that in that family, there is neither her father nor her mother.

After leaving Xing'er Hutong and making sure that he had left Muda's line of sight, Lin Jiaruo suddenly stopped and hesitated.

Red lanterns were hung under the eaves of every house, lined up in a neat row, stretching into the distance, and disappearing into the night along with the end of the road.

This is Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone is at home, around the fire, according to the family, rich and poor, can get this night of reunion.

She stood on the street, her toes unconsciously drawing circles on the ground, her heart at a loss.

Her father was at the royal family banquet at the moment, and sitting next to him was his wife, who endured humiliation for the sake of the plan in his heart; She can't help but support him, and she can't let him have worries.

Her mother, now in the arms of the man she loves, who, despite the danger, broke through the blockade just to be by her side tonight; She can't fail her, she can't let her hesitate to retreat because of her.

She was no longer a child, and by tonight she would be twelve.

Many girls, at the age of twelve, officially began to contact housework and learn how to be a qualified housewife.

And what about her? What would her twelve-year-old be like?

He toeed and stepped out.

"Girl?" Xiao Man hurriedly caught up with her footsteps and couldn't help but whisper to her.

Xiaoman is not a maid who loves to give advice to her master, but this is obviously not the way back to Lin's house, in the middle of the night, they are a master and a servant and two women walking outside, as inappropriate as possible.

Lin Jiaruo still walked silently, without responding to her, and Xiaoman had to follow behind her step by step.

The night on the eaves is like ink, and the frost in the air is like hail.

Suddenly, a little red light trembled and trembled, apparently someone walking in the night with a lantern.

Lin Jiaruo turned around and was about to avoid it, but he heard the person in front of him shout "Four Girls" in surprise, and his voice was as low as wine.

On the stone bridge, scarlet clothes were black, graceful and handsome, Lin Jiaruo bowed slightly at him, and reluctantly greeted: "Lord Yuan." ”

Yuan Yan walked towards her slowly, his eyes dark and obscure.

By the waterside of the bridge, under the dead trees, the girl is wearing a big red orangutan felt, like a red plum tree, covered in fog on a cold night, and the dark fragrance floats.

"Why are you here?" Yuan Yan asked.

Lin Jiaruo heard a faint anger in his question, and frowned in confusion.

Late at night in the cold winter, a layer of green frost formed on her long eyelashes, Yuan Yan's heart suddenly softened, and sighed: "Either send you home now, or follow me!" ”

A layer of mist floated through her eyes, and she pursed her lips and said, "I'm not going home!" ”

Yuan Yan took her to the courtyard where she had last hid, and in the house, her bow and arrows hung on the wall.

After leaving last time, she forgot to pick it up, and Yuan Yan didn't return it.

There was a stove in the house, Lin Jiaruo took off his coat, reached out to take off the bow and arrow, and his hand was slightly heavy, and his heart seemed to be more steady.

When I came back, there seemed to be no one here, but this time there were actually a few more people, and not long after entering the house, I picked up the hot tea.

Lin Jiaruo ate two plates of dim sum in a row, and soon held two more plates, she ate two more pieces before she stopped, took a sip of hot tea, her eyelashes flashed, she glanced at Yuan Yan quickly, and said embarrassedly: "I'm full......"

Yuan Yan waved his hand, asked people to remove the dim sum, and said with a teasing smile: "Our Yuan family, there has never been a family master who starved to death!" ”

Lin Jiaruo's face turned red and explained in a low voice: "There is too little food at the family banquet......"

Yuan Yan smiled faintly and said, "Then, now ask the head of the family to explain, why are you a little girl outside alone for the New Year?" Shouldn't you have been feasting in the palace with your father? ”

Lin Jiaruo lowered his eyes and said softly: "I was unwell, so I didn't go to the palace banquet." ”

"You're not feeling well, and you're still running out alone?" Yuan Yan suddenly raised his voice, "What about the elders of the Lin family?" What about your mother? Do they know that you are a girl wandering outside in the middle of the night? ”

Lin Jiaruo lowered his head and remained silent.

Yuan Yan was even more angry when he saw it: "Didn't you say that you have grown up?" Didn't you say you knew everything? You know you're still coming with me? Can you go with a man so casually in a girl's house? ”

Lin Jiaruo was still silent and bowed his head.

Yuan Yan got up abruptly and said firmly: "If you have nothing to say, I'll send you home now!" With that, he went to fetch Lin Jiaruo's coat.

The big red gorilla felt covered her shoulder, and it was half a shortening, and he was shocked and angry, "Your patriarchy is leaning towards the opposition, so you will wear this ill-fitting winter coat?" And your mother? Didn't you say she loved you? That's how you love? ”

He was so angry that before Lin Jiaruo could raise his head to speak, he tore off the orangutan felt and slammed it to the ground.

Lin Jiaruo screamed, threw himself to the ground, and held the orangutan felt in his arms in a panic, dusting it off while nervously checking for damage.

After looking at it for a moment, all of a sudden, she sat down and hugged the orangutan felt, tears streaming down her face.

Yuan Yan was so frightened that he lost his anger in an instant, and hurriedly squatted down and coaxed loudly: "Hey, don't cry, did I just speak too loudly?" Is there a better point now...... Don't cry, it's me who is bad, I apologize to you, okay......"

The more he coaxed in a low voice, the more Lin Jiaruo cried, and finally, Yuan Yan finally sat opposite her with self-abandonment, watching her cry helplessly.

After finally finishing crying, Hot Water wiped his face, Lin Jiaruo glanced at Yuan Yan embarrassedly, and said in a low voice: "Thank you today." ”

His eyes were red and his voice was hoarse, Yuan Yan looked at it, and he was a little out of breath.
