Chapter 49: The Calm Before the Storm
The snow on the winter night in Yuguo Chudi seems to never stop.
In the warm room, Lin Baiyu, who was dressed in turquoise and embroidered with ruddy hawthorn clothes on her neckline, sat on a yellow wooden chair, her cheeks were dyed with two pieces of red, her thick black hair hung down on her shoulders, she had just woken up, sleepy-eyed, but her face was full of displeasure, "Father, I won't go to the school." ”
Lin Yingjing, who had an elegant and noble temperament, looked helpless, "Your teaching gentleman has been gone for more than three months, and you have not found a suitable gentleman in Chudi during this period. You have to go. ”
In this Chu land, the climate is severe and cold all year round, and many of them are strong martial artists, and it is difficult for those thin and weak scholars with bad bones to live easily here.
Therefore, there are very few scholars in Chudi.
In addition, her teaching husband left Chu Di due to physical discomfort three months ago, so Lin Baiyu, who is the county lord, has no choice now, she has to go to the school!
But......
Lin Baiyu's hands were clenched tightly, and her palms hurt when her nails poked. The faces of those friends of the same age behind her back, and the snarky words she overheard, just thinking about it, she couldn't stop being irritable, "Why do I have to stay with those idiots!"
Lin Yingjing frowned, as if he was dissatisfied with Lin Baiyu, and said sharply: "Pay attention to your words!"
"Did I say something wrong? You don't know anything at all!"
"Then you can talk to your father. ”
"What do you have to talk about? You just want to punish me! Because I killed my mother! You hate me! You don't want me to be comfortable!"
Her father was demoted, and her mother was due to give birth in February.
This long road is bumpy, and the mother has just arrived in Chudi, and within a few days, she will have a difficult birth. After giving birth to Lin Baiyu, she gave birth to others. One life and one death are in one day.
Lin Yingjing's face was full of surprise, and after half a sound, he came back to his senses, his eyes were a little evasive, and his momentum instantly lost by half, "You...... What are you talking nonsense?"
"Which of my words is nonsense?"
Lin Yingjing helplessly stroked his forehead, his eyes were tired, and Lin Baiyu always made him very distressed. As for how to get along with her, he pondered for fourteen years, but he still couldn't figure it out.
Lin Baiyu stared at her father, suddenly sneered, turned over and got off the chair, and pushed open the wooden door that was isolated from the wind and snow.
It was as if she had caused a crack in the flawless wall, and the night wind carried the snow desperately into the crack. The cold wind and snow that slammed into her face made Lin Baiyu squint uncomfortably, and her raging anger was also blown away by the wind and snow.
Despite this, she still walked out against the wind and snow, because she wore less, and the cold made her feel painful. As she walked, she stopped in the courtyard and looked back, staring at the empty back.
There wasn't even a single subordinate who chased it out!
Damn it!
Just when Lin Baiyu was pondering in place, it was too cold outside, or he should go back to the house, a cold voice exploded in the snowy night.
"Get out of the way. ”
Hearing the sound, Lin Baiyu subconsciously turned her head, and then a flowing white shadow suddenly fell in front of her, which frightened Lin Baiyu immediately.
At this moment, Lin Baiyu felt as if time had slowed down.
Her eyes widened, staring in amazement at the man whose clothes were flying on the floor, indifferent but pure eyes.
After a moment's pause, the figure quickly flashed away.
But those eyes that she saw for the first time made her unforgettable for a long time......
Because that's something she doesn't have at all.
Before she could recover from the amazement, her brother Lin Songyue actually followed closely behind and landed on the ground, and then looked at her who was stunned in the snow.
Lin Baiyu came back to his senses, his face full of surprise, "Brother, what are you doing on a snowy day? What did you just fly over!?"
Lin Songyue gasped and seemed to have difficulty speaking, so he simply waved his hand at her, and then hurried to chase the white shadow.
What the hell are they doing?
Somehow, those indifferent but pure eyes, just one glance, seemed to be imprinted in Lin Baiyu's mind, making her unable to forget it for a long time.
Then, without thinking too much, she subconsciously turned around and chased over there with her skirt.
She ran down the deep corridor, gasping for white air, the night wind blowing the broken hair on her forehead to the side, she tilted her little head and stared at the two figures on the snow-covered eaves opposite, her eyes were so clear in the snowy night.
After running for a while, she finally saw the two figures stop not far away. But she suddenly stopped, feeling a little inexplicable when she wanted to chase after her on a whim.
Still, she walked slowly towards the two figures, and when she got closer, she could faintly hear the two of them talking.
Over there, Lin Songyue, who was flamboyant and handsome, was unsteady, his chest was constantly rising and falling, and he raised his hand to wipe the dense sweat on his forehead a few times, "Little master, do you think I have grown." ”
The cold young man in white with narrow sleeves shook his head, his face was not red and he was not panting, "None." ”
Lin Songyue was full of distress, "Huh? But I think I almost caught up with you." ”
"It's too much to think about, it's still far from it. ”
"Is that the result......
"Yes. ”
Lin Baiyu stood aside, her eyes full of the strange white-clothed young man who scared her so much that she couldn't even scream.
The man was straight, but he was not very old but had a straight face, as if he wanted to reject people from thousands of miles away. Thinking that she had just scared her, she deliberately had a thorn in her tone, "Who are you?"
The cold young man glanced at Lin Baiyu, who was asking, not only ignored it, but even twisted his head to the other side and pretended not to see it.
Lin Baiyu frowned, but the displeasure on her face was fleeting in an instant, and she instead moved her eyes to stare at her brother.
Lin Songyue immediately understood, stretched out his hand and put his hand on the shoulder of the cold-faced young man, and said with a hippie smile: "This is the talented little master I asked for from the rivers and lakes, Ling Yun." You also saw Sister Xiaoyu just now, he's amazing. ”
"I didn't see the rest, but I didn't wear white clothes in the middle of the night, and it was quite scary. ”
Ling Yun frowned, moved his eyes to stare at Lin Baiyu, who was covered in thorns, and after observing her carefully, he said, "Your hair is scattered on a snowy night, and it is not shallow. ”
"You!" Lin Baiyu subconsciously straightened his messy hair, wanting to straighten it out.
Lin Songyue sneered at the same time, and also looked at his little master Lingyun, "Oh, oops, it's not right to scare Sister Xiaoyu is my brother." But you're wearing so little, so hurry back to the house, if you get something...... Brother will be sad. ”
After saying that, he also untied his blue velvet cloak and draped it on her, and tied a bow for her very intimately.
For this, Ling Yun didn't think so, his head twisted, and he looked like he was out of the matter and had nothing to do with him.
Lin Baiyu glanced at the young man who didn't care about her at all, although she was dissatisfied, but because of her identity, she didn't have a seizure, but restrained herself as a matter of course, and walked back with a cold snort.
She remembered this one named Ling Yun.
It was never love at first sight......
Instead, wait for me!
After Lin Baiyu left, Lin Songyue's right hand was on Ling Yun's shoulder, "Little master, you have to learn from me in this coaxing aspect." ”
Ling Yun was puzzled, "What to learn?"
Lin Songyue was stunned for a moment, and looked at him with some surprise, "Didn't you deliberately say something annoying? That was your instinctive response?"
Ling Yun asked seriously, "What are you talking about?"
"No, nothing ......"
"Then let's go back to the house. ”
"Okay little master. ”
Chapter 2 It is unbearable to look back on the debts of sin
Lin Baiyu was finally forced to go to that broken school.
Today, it's still freezing outside, and the dog hasn't woken up, but she has to get up early, "Wear this." Am I really not going to get cold?"
Ah Xuan was stunned for a moment, and cautiously replied to this weird-tempered county lord, "Little county lord, I've already worn a lot." ”
Lin Baiyu raised his chin slightly, "Really?"
"Yes. ”
"Why hasn't breakfast been delivered yet? want to starve me?"
"Little county lord, the prince said, tell you to go to the front hall to eat together. ”
"I'm not going. ”
"The prince said, if you answer like this, then you will be hungry. ”
Lin Baiyu frowned, glared viciously at Ah Xuan, who was speaking, and after half a sound, "Then let's go!"
Ah Xuan said yes again and again, and followed her carefully. Whenever this happens, she would want outsiders to praise the words of the little county lord. What is gentle, quiet, gentle...... Do they really look at people well?
Lin Baiyu went to the front hall, and as soon as he entered, he took a cursory glance, his father, his brother, and that Ling Yun were all there!
"Xiaoyu, come and sit next to my brother!" Lin Songyue's eyes were full of joy when he saw his favorite sister coming.
Lin Yingjing frowned, "Don't eat." ”
"Yes, father......" Facing his father, who had always been serious, Lin Songyue immediately restrained his interest.
Seeing this, Lin Baiyu, who was about to salute, froze for a moment, then stood up straight, raised his chin slightly, and deliberately sat opposite Ling Yun.
Lin Yingjing frowned, and was about to say: I don't know the number of etiquette. But when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them again. Lin Baiyu is no better than Lin Songyue, and when he says this discipline, the relationship between father and daughter may be even worse.
Lin Songyue looked at the father and daughter, and the smart one didn't say more, bowed his head and ate quietly.
Lin Baiyu encountered this experience, and her mood was even more unhappy, and when she was taking the snacks in front of her, she inadvertently glanced at Ling Yun who was sitting opposite her and drinking hot soup.
Her eyes stayed on the bowl of hot soup for a moment, and then the corners of her mouth curled up in a vague arc, and her mind already thought of Ling Yun's stupid appearance of being burned by the soup for a while.
She pressed her elbow on the table, moved her body forward, and slowly lifted her foot under the table, hovering in mid-air for a while, and then she kicked in the direction of Lingyun with all her strength.
However, she never expected this Ling Yun to be so powerful. When her foot was about to kick Ling's calf, Ling Yun parted her calf, and then clamped it hard, and Lin Baiyu's right hand holding chopsticks suddenly slapped it on the table.
"Xiaoyu, what's wrong with you?" Lin Songyue, who didn't know the truth, was full of doubts.
Lin Baiyu's smile was more ugly than crying, "I'...... I'm fine. Yes, there are bed bugs, brother, keep eating yours. Then she tried to pull her foot out, but she didn't move.
Lin Song nodded his head more and more, continued to eat for some reason, and muttered in his mouth: "It's cold and snowy, where are there still insects......"
Lin Yingjing glanced at it and didn't say much.
Lin Baiyu used her other foot to gently kick Ling Yun's boots. Ling Yun raised his eyes and looked at her expressionlessly, who had been giving him a look, and then his eyes rolled, deliberately pretending not to see it.
"Lingyun Shaoxia, when I came...... It seems that you have seen your sword dropped in the courtyard by the corridor, and you must hurry up and get it. Don't let the sword be covered in snow. After speaking, Lin Baiyu endured the pain and showed him a kind smile. She just wanted to get out of the way of Ling Yun now and save her feet.
"My saber is here. After that, he deliberately turned around and picked up the saber to show Lin Baiyu.
"Ah, yes! I think I was wrong. Lin Baiyu's feet were still trapped, and the pain was extremely unbearable.
"Hmm. ”
Lin Baiyu continued to be unrelenting, "I see that Shaoxia, you seem to like drinking that hot soup very much, if you like it, you can go and drink another bowl of it." ”
As soon as these words came out, the maidservant who had been waiting by the side suddenly realized and hurriedly came up to help Ling Yun serve another bowl.
After Ling Yun took it, he bowed slightly to the maid to show his gratitude.
The maid smiled a little shy when she saw that this handsome young man had just glanced at her, but when she saw that her strange temper county lord was also glaring at her, she buried her head even lower.
Lin Songyue finished eating breakfast, so he took the first step on the grounds that he still had something to do. Lin Yingjing also put down the jade chopsticks not long after, glanced at Lin Baiyu, who had been sitting still, and reminded: "It's almost time to go to the school." ”
"I know. Lin Baiyu turned her head away from her father.
Lin Yingjing didn't know what else to say for a while, so he nodded his head and left.
Now in this front hall, only the two people who just met yesterday are left.
There was no one around, and Lin Baiyu didn't need to disguise, the original fake smile suddenly changed, and his face was full of unhappiness, "Hey." It's time for you to let me go!"
Ling Yun raised his eyes and looked at her calmly, "You brought it on yourself." ”
"So what! Hurry up and let go!"
"You're very unreasonable. Ling Yun let go of her as she said.
Lin Baiyu struggled to retract his unconscious and uncontrollable feet, and stared at Ling Yun viciously, "You also put such a heavy hand on a girl's family?"
"I've got control of my power. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to sit like this right now. With that, he got up and prepared to go out.
"Stop!"
Ling Yun looked back at her.
"Do you think I'll be able to walk now?"
"Yes. ”
"You!" Lin Baiyu sighed, and then regretted his own hard work, "Why don't you come here and help me, you have to go to the school anyway!"
Ling Yun sighed, walked back quickly, grabbed her arm, and lifted the person up.
"Can you tap?"
Lin Yun was puzzled, "What do you want?"
The four eyes met, and under the stalemate, Lin Baiyu took the lead in defeating, and she sighed, "Let's go like this, I'm fine." ”
"Well, it's okay. ”
After several twists and turns, Lin Baiyu finally sat down in the soft sedan chair, and the cold wind outside could always find a crack to get in, so cold that she hugged the soup woman she was holding in her hand even tighter.
When she arrived at the school, she and Ling Yun were newcomers. As soon as they entered, they attracted the attention of the entire academy, and their eyes fell on Ling Yun first, and then on Lin Baiyu for a long time.
Lin Baiyu raised his chin slightly, roughly swept the 'classmates' of different colors underneath, and then smiled decently. After these princes and nobles of Chu came back to their senses, they began to talk in a low voice.
