The door slowly opened, Lin Yi tidied up his sleeves, looked up and looked in, slightly stunned, he looked at the girl slightly distracted, and whispered to himself: "Yutang, why is she here?" The girl's pink and jade face was even more ruddy under Lin Yi's gaze, like a ripe apple.

Lin Tianyi coughed lightly and said jokingly: "Yi'er, come here, come and sit here with grandpa, how long have you not eaten a red apple when you are staring at other people's little girls like this?"

Lin Yi came back to his senses, his face was slightly red, he laughed dryly, and walked straight to the seat next to Lin Tianyi.

Lin Tianyi saw Lin Yi seated and said to him, "Yi'er, I called you over this time to show you something." ”

Lin Yi looked at Lin Tianyi suspiciously, only to see Lin Tianyi smile mysteriously and take out a crimson post from his arms. Lin Yi stretched out his hand to take it, and couldn't wait to open it to take a look, but was gently pressed by Lin Tianyi with his hand, and said: "Yi'er, I still have to discuss some things with your Uncle Qingyan, you take the Yutang girl to the cherry blossom forest for a turn, and it is not too late to open the post when the time comes." ”

Lin Yi nodded and said softly to Yutang: "Let's go, you haven't come to play for a long time, I'll take you around." ”

In the spring of March, in the cherry blossom forest, the boy and the girl walked on the cobblestone path, the cherry blossoms fell from time to time, and the pink and white petals were like dancing elves, graceful in the wind, dancing, crossing the ends of the two people's hair, around the corners of their clothes, fragrant the wind, and fragrant the clothes of the two. The two of them were silent all the way, walking silently in the fragrance.

After a while, the girl suddenly stopped and said softly, "Brother Lin Yi, open the post and take a look." ”

The young man nodded slightly, opened the post he was already holding in his hand, and read it slowly: "After many discussions, the Yu family decided that three years later, they would convene the young heroes of the mainland and hold a selection competition to seek a marriage for the daughter of the patriarch - the Yu family. ”

The young man's hands trembled slightly, and the square words were like towering mountains, which made the young man a little breathless.

The young man calmed down his mood, smiled indifferently, and said: "Hehe, it turns out that this is the post, Yutang, congratulations, you are finally going to belong." ”

The girl's heart was shocked, and she asked timidly, "Will you go to the competition?"

The boy was still smiling, and turned away, not wanting the girl to see his tear-filled eyes, and laughing at himself in his heart: What is the matter today? Tears that have not been shed in nine years have burst out twice now, and now they have become so fragile. The young man took another deep breath and said as smoothly as he could: "Competition? Now that my cultivation is mediocre, am I still qualified to compete? What ability do I have to compete with those gifted geniuses? Do I want to be pointed at as a joke?"

The girl looked at the young man's emaciated back and said, "No, Brother Lin Yi, your talent was so high in the past, you didn't lose to those geniuses at all, there must be some reason why your cultivation speed is slow and stagnant, I believe you will definitely be able to participate in the competition in three years." ”

The young man quietly wiped away his tears, turned around to look at the girl's watery eyes, looked up to the sky and sighed, and said, "Maybe, maybe I will go to the competition, or I may go to watch the game." ”

The girl looked at the young man's decadent appearance, and said softly, "Do you remember what you said to me in this cherry blossom forest ten years ago?"

The boy nodded slightly, and the fragments of memories hidden in the depths of his mind gradually emerged.

Ten years ago, it was still a spring March, the cherry blossoms were still beautiful and fragrant, and a boy in a blue coat and a girl in a pink dress were playing in the cherry blossom forest.

"Brother Lin Yi, let's play hide and seek, okay? I'll hide, can you come to me?" a yellow warbler-like voice came from the girl's mouth.

The boy thought for a moment, and then said in a milky voice, "Okay, but this forest is too big, and you can't hide too far." ”

"Well, I see, then you can count to a hundred, and don't peek. As she spoke, the girl searched for a place to hide, when her eyes lit up and she had an idea.

The boy held the cherry blossom tree in both hands, closed his eyes, and counted aloud: "One, two, three, four...... Ninety-eight, ninety-nine, one hundred. The boy opened his eyes, looked around, and searched everywhere carefully, and for a long time, when the search was fruitless, and he leaned against the tree, and said to himself, "Where have you gone?"

Suddenly, the boy smiled slyly, and he returned to the trees he had counted, looking down for the girl's traces.

The boy followed the trail to a cherry blossom tree, thought for a moment, and said with a smile on his face, "Yutang, come down quickly, you won't be afraid of falling if you climb so high." ”

The girl showed an innocent smile and said, "Hehe, I can't fall, there is Brother Lin Yi under the tree to protect me." Before the words fell, the girl's feet slipped and fell with the cherry blossoms, and the boy's hands and eyes were quick, and he skillfully used the milky white spiritual power to gently support the girl.

The boy was just about to put the girl on the ground, but the girl pouted and said with some grievances: "Brother Lin Yi, my foot seems to be sprained, it hurts." ”

Hearing the sound, the boy leaned the girl to the root of the tree, gently took off the girl's white boots, looked at the slightly red and swollen little feet, and used milky white spiritual power to wipe the girl's red and swollen places, the girl stared at the boy and carefully cleaned her wounds over and over again, her heart was warm, and she couldn't feel the pain of her foot twisting.

After a long time, the boy put on the boots for the girl and said, "You can't walk for the time being, or the redness and swelling will worsen, so I'll carry you." The girl hummed, and then the boy picked her up on his back and walked slowly down the cherry blossom path.

The girl felt the boy's warm body temperature, and her face was slightly red because of the constant heat emitted by the boy's body, but she felt comfortable and warm, and after a while, a few drops of sweat hung on the boy's forehead, and the girl took out a fragrant handkerchief from her bosom and gently wiped the sweat beads off the boy's forehead, leaving behind the residual fragrance.

"Brother Lin Yi, you saved me so fast just now, fortunately with you, otherwise the injury would be very serious. The girl said with some trepidation.

"Haha, how could I, as a man, watch you get hurt in front of me? As long as you are by my side, I will definitely not let you get hurt. The boy said firmly.

"Well, I believe you, by the way, Brother Lin Yi, what was that milky white gas just now?" the girl asked with a puzzled face.

"It's called spiritual power, and when you cultivate to the fifth stage of the Qi Vortex, you will have it, and it is something that can strengthen the body and heal some wounds. The boy explained carefully, "I heard my grandfather say that with the continuous improvement of his cultivation level, he can turn over the mountains and cracks in the ground, and turn the clouds and rain. There was yearning and anticipation in the boy's eyes.

"Brother Lin Yi's talent is so high, I believe you will definitely be able to reach that step, so that you can also protect Yutang from injury, hehe. The girl continued with a smile.

"Well, I'll work on that. The boy clenched his fists and said.

"Brother Lin Yi, you ...... Marry me, I heard adults say that after two people get married, they can be together forever, so that I can always be by your side and never get hurt. The girl said innocently.

The boy said with a serious face: "Well, I promise that I will definitely marry you in the future and always protect you." Immediately, the boy and the girl each stretched out their little fingers and hooked them together, and Luo Yingfeihua identified the agreement between a child.

The boy continued to carry the girl on his back on the path, and the laughter and laughter still echoed throughout the cherry blossom forest......

"Brother Lin Yi, do you remember what you said at the beginning?" the girl's crisp voice interrupted the boy's thoughts.

The boy no longer recalled that childhood past, and responded to the girl: "Childish words are unscrupulous, they can't be true, and a mediocre talent like me can't fulfill my promises, and I don't deserve the love of an eldest lady like you." The cherry blossoms fell quietly, falling all over the body of the young man, and the young man's heart seemed to have a sharp blade gradually inserted, and the pain covered his whole body, but he couldn't speak.

The girl's eyes showed a look of grievance, she looked touching and pitiful, and the young man's heart hurt even more," Brother Lin Yi, when I was a child, I knew a little about personnel, and my father disciplined me strictly every day, just because I was the daughter of the patriarch, because my talent was not weak, my life had already been interpreted according to the ideas of the elders, I seemed to live a life of stars and moons in the clan, but in fact I didn't even have a little freedom, my father strictly watched me practice and practice every day, I would rather not have these, I just want to have a happy childhood, you know? The first time I came to the Lin family, I met you and played with you, it was the happiest day in my childhood, there was a strong sense of security around you, there was no need to tense up the days of life, there was no need to practice those boring exercises, and there was no need to go through those fearful battlefields. At the beginning, when I returned to the family, my father urged me to start cultivating, and every time I practiced, I had a time when you and I played together, and my father told me that when I reached a certain level, I could come out to play and travel, and in order to be able to see you as soon as possible, I practiced desperately. ”

The young man stared at the girl who was just beginning to fall in love, he didn't know how much the girl had suffered in cultivation, but he knew that it was unimaginable perseverance, and although he was struggling to survive in the cold eyes and contempt of others, he was also leisurely. The girl suffered many more frustrations than him, like the gap between the vast sea and the river. The young man clenched his fists, was ruthless in his heart, and pretended to be cold and said, "Hehe, what do you have to do with me? The quality of cultivation is your own business, and it has nothing to do with me at all. ”

"You're lying, aren't you? I know you're doing it for my good, to let me cultivate with peace of mind, right?" the girl asked eagerly.

The young man sneered and said, "Lying, you are not worthy of me to lie for you, don't justify yourself, face reality." ”

The girl walked in front of the young man, slowly stood on tiptoe, and bit her teeth on the young man's shoulder, leaving a row of crescent-like tooth marks, and then, the girl said sadly: "Lin Yi, I hate you, I hate you for the rest of my life." Before he finished speaking, he ran out of the forest with tears in his eyes.

The cherry blossoms fell, looking at the back of the girl who was drifting away, and there was a faint sadness in the air.

"Silly girl, I'm sorry, it's enough for me to live alone now, we no longer belong to the same world, you will suffer too much with me, suffer too much, let me be selfish once, I don't want to see you suffer, three years later, I hope you can find a home in the game, forget me." Lin Yi's eyes were empty and confused, and he said distractedly.

The warm sun was already scorching, Lin Yi stood for a long time, quickly rushed to the martial arts training ground, standing in the middle of the stone ground, Lin Yi unbuttoned his shirt and waved his fists frantically, but the chaotic fighting style showed the pain in Lin Yi's heart.

After Lin Tianyi and Yu Qingyan discussed some things, they heard about it and hurried to the martial arts training ground to check the details.

"Yi'er, I thought it would cheer you up this time, but it was self-defeating, I hope you can adjust yourself. Lin Tianyi looked at Lin Yi, who was frantically waving his fists in the martial arts training field, and said silently.
