Chapter 16: Guancheng Comes Himself.
One thing Wen Yunjin said was right, Si Xuan had indeed been afraid of him before, at the beginning of when he dragged himself into the mud of the rainy night.
It was a month before the Wen Yunjin Palace exam two years ago.
Si Xuan stayed in Lang Painting Hall for a whole day, and his hands were sore, and when he finally reached the time to go back, he looked up and saw the dark clouds in the sky, and his mood was even worse for no reason.
The carriage sent by Sifu to pick her up had arrived early, and Si Xuan's small temper came, and she was willing to go home only if her brother came to pick her up.
The people of the Sifu couldn't do anything with this pampered little county lord, so they had to go to the Taixue Mansion again.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for Wen Yunjin to come over.
There was a light rain under the corridor, Wen Yunjin was holding an umbrella, he was very tall, his facial features were handsome, and he exuded an elegant and cold temperament from the inside out.
His umbrella came over, took her little hand and led her out of the Lang Painting Hall.
Wen Yunjin has been busy with his studies recently, and he lives in the dormitory most of the time, so he didn't call any carriages, and walked directly from Taixue to pick up people.
Si Xuan followed his brother, and after walking for a while, his shoes and socks were soiled by the potholes and mud, Si Xuan was already squeamish, and he refused to accept the slightest grievance, so he couldn't help but reach out and pull the corner of Wen Yunjin's clothes, and complained to him: "Brother, my shoes and socks are dirty, I don't want to walk anymore." β
The carriage of the division was sent back by herself, and there was no carriage nearby.
Wen Yunjin didn't say anything, pulled her to the side under the stone pavilion, and asked her to sit down.
Si Xuan sat down obediently, followed closely, she saw Wen Yunjin squatting down, took off her dirty shoes and socks, and put the robe on her body to cover her bare ankles, then picked up her shoes and socks and said, "Come up." β
The rain outside the pavilion was thin, and the air was flooded with dampness.
Si Xuan lay on Wen Yunjin's shoulder, his little hand wrapped around his neck, and he gestured a few times with his neck line, and muttered lazily: "It's so annoying, my father and mother have to send me to Lang Huatang here to learn to paint, I don't like the Taifu here, he is not as good as his brother." β
"Mrs. Lin's attainments in portraits are still quite high, so learn from Mrs. Lin well." Wen Yunjin said.
Si Xuan snorted with a small milk voice in her nasal cavity, and the small movements in her hands did not stop, she scratched around for a while before noticing that her fingers were still stained with red, green, and green paint, and at this moment, her brother's collar had been wiped out.
Si Xuan was stunned for a moment, hurriedly withdrew his little hand, hesitated for a moment and took out a handkerchief, trying to wipe it on his brother's collar.
The next moment, the umbrella in Wen Yunjin's hand fell, Wen Yunjin pressed the little hand she wanted to stretch into the collar, and said under the cold rain and fog, "I'll go back and change it." β
Wen Yunjin took away her little hand, picked up the oil-paper umbrella again, and held it for her.
Si Xuan's hand was shaken hard by him and then let go, and the surging heat spread from his palm for no reason.
Si Xuan's eyelashes trembled slightly one or two raindrops, and he dimly saw that under the collar that Wen Yunjin was opened by her, the Adam's apple slowly and forcefully slid and undulated, and the convex lines were very ...... Full of tension.
Her eyes seemed to be glued there, and she refused to take it away for a long time, her heart beat in an orderly manner, and she whispered in his ear with a toothy voice, "Brother." β
The growing sound of rain seemed to blur her cry, and Wen Yunjin didn't answer her.
After returning to the Si Mansion, Wen Yunjin was already soaked, he put down Si Xuan, instructed the housekeeper a few words, and went back to the courtyard to change clothes first.
After the father learned about this, he called Si Xuan to the court hall and taught him a lesson, "It's okay to be willful and willful, don't you know that your brother is preparing for the palace exam recently?" It's still raining outside, so I have to toss your brother to send you back, how old are you, Si Xuan, why are you still not sensible at all? β
Si Xuan really has no concept of the seriousness of the situation, in her concept, her brother should be her alone, if she wants to see her brother, her brother must appear by her side, so she can't control any palace test.
Therefore, after listening to her father's reprimand, she only "tsk" dissatisfiedly, and listening to the right ear with her left ear is not taken seriously.
However, it is a fact that her brother was drenched in the rain because of her, Si Xuan was worried that his brother would catch a cold, so after finishing the training, he went to his brother's yard with the ginger tea prepared by the people below.
Wen Yunjin's door was hidden, and it opened with a push.
Si Xuan didn't think much about it, and went in with ginger tea.
As a result, Leng Buding bumped into Wen Yunjin, who had just finished bathing and was changing clothes on his body, the clothes were only half covered, with a strong and broad back, smooth muscle lines, and so good-looking.
Wen Yunjin put on his clothes, turned around and saw the person standing behind him in a daze, frowned lightly and asked, "What's wrong?" β
Si Xuan came back to his senses and presented ginger tea sluggishly.
Wen Yunjin looked at her stunned appearance, her lips hooked slightly, took the ginger tea, and drank it in front of her.
Wen Yunjin had just taken a bath, and his body was full of clean and cold breath, and he wanted to get close.
Thinking like this, Si Xuan took another half step closer.
Then Wen Yunjin's hand reached over and rubbed it lightly on her head, and her voice was still low and melodious: "Dinner should be ready, let's go." β
At dinner, Si Xuan had been thinking absentmindedly about something inconsequential, and she didn't pay attention to what her father and mother said, until she heard Wen Yunjin say something to her father and mother, and she wouldn't come back for the next month.
Si Xuan raised his head suddenly, and the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were full of anger: "Won't my brother come home for a month?" β
The father said: "Xuan Xuan, if you make trouble with your father again, you will be angry again, your brother has made an exception to send you back today, and the next palace exam is very important to your brother, of course, you must concentrate on staying in Taixue Mansion to prepare." β
Si Xuan, who was sitting on the side, also knew that this was difficult for Si Xuan to accept, after all, Si Xuan had been sticking to Wen Yunjin since he was a child, and suddenly he had to see Wen Yunjin for a month, which must be unacceptable to Si Xuan, she touched Si Xuan's head, comforted the little girl and said, "Didn't Xuan Xuan say before that she wanted to go to Jianghuai to watch the mountain and sea performance?" It just so happens that the business house has not been busy recently, so can my mother accompany you to play for a few days? β
However, the precious little county lord of the Si family just stared straight at Wen Yunjin who was sitting opposite from beginning to end, his eyes were cold, and his eyelids gradually turned red.
Wen Yunjin, who would coax her in the past, did not let go this time, as if it had already been decided.
"A month will pass quickly." Wen Yunjin finally said something to her lightly.
When his words fell, Si Xuan put down the dishes and chopsticks silently and got up to leave, refusing to come back no matter how much his father and mother shouted.
"This kid ...... It's just that you've spoiled you......" said the priest with a frown.
Si Mu looked at Wen Yunjin helplessly, "Yunjin, you can let Xuan Xuan eat something more later, she didn't even eat a few bites just now." β
Wen Yunjin meekly responded down.
Si Xuan originally locked herself in the room and sulked, she waited for her brother to coax her, but after waiting for almost an hour, she didn't see her brother's figure appear.
Si Xuan remembered that his father and mother said that his brother was preparing for the palace exam, hesitated for a moment, and still went to his brother's library with the painting book spinelessly.
The light was on in the library, and Wen Yunjin really sat on the edge of the table and read a book.
After she came in, Wen Yunjin only raised her eyes to look, and her gaze returned to the content of the page.
Si Xuan looked at him angrily, occupied most of his couch, turned his back to him and began to paint.
During this period, Wen Yunjin had been concentrating on reading his books, and did not deal with Si Xuan as usual.
Until the door of the library was knocked, Wen Yunjin said: "Please come in." β
The person who came in was the father, and the father was amused when he saw his daughter sitting next to the table and painting, knowing that she was in a hurry to ask someone to coax her, but he was relieved.
"Uncle, is there something wrong?" Wen Yunjin asked.
Only then did the father withdraw his gaze from his daughter, and said to Wen Yunjin with a solemn face, "Yunjin, you come out, and I will discuss something with you." β
Si Xuan's small ears straightened up suddenly, and he didn't want to raise his head from the drawing board, and said unconvinced, "Is there anything you want to avoid me?" β
The father said helplessly: "You don't ask about the adult's affairs, you can draw here obediently, and let your brother come back to persuade you later." β
Seeing this, Wen Yunjin had no choice but to close the book in his hand and go out with his uncle.
Si Xuan was angry, but he still stayed in the library obediently.
It's just that Wen Yunjin went out for longer than she imagined, and Si Xuan fell asleep halfway through the painting, put the drawing board aside, lay on the edge of the table with his little face, and fell asleep after waiting.
In a daze, and she didn't know how long it had been, she heard the rustling of rain on the eaves of the window, and ...... A little bit of discomfort of being crushed.
Si Xuan opened his eyelids dissatisfied, and then froze.
She still had the same posture as lying on the table with her face on her side before she fell asleep, the difference was that Wen Yunjin didn't know when she came back, sitting beside her, looking down at her with a different look in her eyes than before, indifferent and cold, cold and transparent, as if she was measuring the same object.
And what made her heart tense slightly was that Wen Yunjin's slender fingers were pressing on her lips and rubbing them carefully.
His expression was very cold, but his movements were so gentle that they were a mess.
The sound of the rain outside became a little rapid, and even Si Xuan's thoughts became anxious.
Si Xuan looked at him with wet eyes, and opened his lips in a ghostly manner.
However, at this moment, Wen Yunjin's fingers moved away, wiped the wet marks on her cheeks casually, sat up straight unhurriedly, and took a sip of tea.
Si Xuan sat up with her, her lips were very small, she pursed it, and called him at a loss, "Brother......"
She wanted to ask what her father had told her brother and why he had just looked at her like that and treated her like that......
As a result, before she could ask, Wen Yunjin's gaze slowly stopped on her lips again, and he coldly spit out a few words: "Do you want it?" β
The sound of the rattling rain seemed to hit Si Xuan's heart, she made a mess, and instinctively asked, "Do you want to...... What do you think......"
Si Xuan was young at that time, and he didn't know that Wen Yunjin had seen his thoughts all over his face, he looked at her with some amusement, and after waiting for a while, he withdrew his hand boringly.
Where did Si Xuan allow him to go, he hurriedly grabbed his hand and didn't let him get up.
Like a puppy, he looked up and glared at him aggrievedly.
Then, dizzily, he said "yes".
Wen Yunjin patted her little face, as if encouraging her, and said tepid words: "Guancheng come by yourself." β
Wen Yunjin's posture was as elegant and calm as ever, even when Si Xuan leaned his head and pressed it over, he sat there indifferently, bowing her little face like a puppy, and touching his lips in an orderly manner.
It seemed that this was the most transcendent and excessive move she could do.
But the next moment, Wen Yunjin lowered her head, the bridge of her tall nose pressed against her cheek, and her breath was gently mixed.
Then, without warning, his slender and powerful palm clasped the back of her neck, and slowly hooked a smileβ
His shallow smile was gentle and seductive, but it bit Si Xuan into blood in an instant.
There was a loud bang, thunder and lightning flashed, and the lights went out.
The sting stung, swallowing up the lowly scream.
Under the pouring rain, the unsinful things in the library were hidden in the dark and unseemly.
Si Xuan covered his lips, which were still dripping with blood, and fled from his library in a panic.
's father asked Wen Yunjin to persuade her, and Wen Yunjin really "persuaded" her.
For the next whole month, Si Xuan didn't dare to set foot in the Taixue Mansion for half a step, let alone see Wen Yunjin.
And that night was the beginning of Si Xuan's realization that Wen Yunjin had a side that made her fearful......
