Lin Yu's sobs slowly subsided, she looked at Li Ying's hand holding her sleeve, and also grabbed Li Ying's sleeve with her backhand, revealing a silent dependence.

She wiped her tears pitifully, but at the same time, there was a part of her heart that was calmly thinking: Can she trust him? Will he be willing to help himself? Can he help himself?

Although part of the reason for the tears is that she is really uncomfortable, there is also a part of the reason, it is not trying to escape the condemnation, and she said to Li Ying: "I was also forced to be helpless, there is no way." ”

"You come in first," Lin Yu's voice was still crying, looking aggrieved and weak, "You can't bask in the sun for too long." ”

She cared about him.

Seems to care about him.

Lin Yu tugged at his sleeve, and Li Ying followed her strength into the house.

He kept looking at her.

The two sat down side by side in the room, pulling each other's sleeves in their hands, Lin Yu looked down at this appearance, feeling that it was really a little funny, and couldn't help but burst into tears and laughed for a moment, but soon re-enveloped in a layer of melancholy.

Li Ying asked, "What happened?" ”

Lin Yu cautiously raised his eyes: "I...... If I did, could you not be angry yet? ”

Her eyelashes were wet with tears, the water in her eyes was like a broken lake, and the tails of her eyes and the tip of her nose showed a faint flush on her fair skin.

Li Ying smiled bitterly and thought to herself, who can be angry at such a face?

He said, "Okay." ”

Lin Yu snorted and whimpered, "I lied to you." ”

It was obvious that she deceived first, but she cried so pitifully, which made people think that she was the one who was deceived miserably.

Li Ying, the deceived person, had to take care of her fragile mood, and asked in a gentle and comforting tone: "What did you deceive me?" ”

Lin Yu bit his lip hesitantly: "...... I'm afraid you'll be upset......"

"It's okay, you tell me, I promise I'm not angry."

Lin Yu tightened his sleeve, as if he was afraid that after telling him, he would no longer be able to hold his sleeve and stay by his side.

Her attachment and nostalgia overlapped with her previous expression of concern, fully revealing the feelings of "although I lied to you, I really value you".

Lin Yu didn't know if this kind of performance was enough to turn the death penalty into a suspended death sentence, but the attitude of sincerely repenting and confessing his sins was better than not repenting and dying.

She took a deep breath, as if plucking up all her courage: "I never told you my name, I said it because I was embarrassed...... Not really. ”

"Hmm."

Lin Yu lowered his head, like a sinner who was willing to accept all punishment after bowing his head and confessing his sins: "My name is Lin Yu." ”

Li Ying's eyes widened slightly.

"But......" he paused, puzzled: "But Lin Yu is not...... Aren't you seriously ill? ”

"That's all pretending that I don't want to marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Lin Yu cautiously peeked at his face, and saw that Li Ying was just a little stunned, but not angry, and couldn't help but hesitate: "You, aren't you angry?" ”

Li Ying laughed: "Don't be angry. ”

This time, Lin Yu's eyes widened: "Why? ”

"You...... You didn't want to marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but you chose me and said you wanted to marry me," Li Ying smiled and said, "This is my honor, why should I be angry?" ”

Lin Yu was stunned.

The tears she held back suddenly rolled down again: "Woo-you, why are you so good-"

"Then I know your name...... I won't call you Lady Lin, right? It's too raw. Shall I call you Ah Yu? ”

Lin Yu just cried: "No." ”

"Why?"

"Because...... Because Zhu Rongzhan knew that I was pretending to be sick and hiding from him, he also found out that I was looking for you...... He, he won't let me marry someone else, so ...... Woo......"

The smile on Li Ying's face disappeared.

He stared at the crying girl in front of him, and asked seriously, "But Ayu likes me, right?" ”

"Hmm."

"Since Ah Yu likes me, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should not snatch love with his sword and snatch his wife from his courtiers."

Lin Yu didn't expect his attitude to be like this, she thought that after he knew about this, he might just smile and say something like "Since that's the case, there's no way".

But what does he mean by this......?

Could it be ...... Will he be tough for her?

This, is this possible? Is it realistic?

Although she also thought that if she could win the help of the Li family, impeach Zhu Rongzhan with the gimmick of "taking his wife with the ministers", and put pressure on him, she might be able to make Zhu Rongzhan back down, but Lin Yu knew better that as the eldest lady of the Lin family, she could not get enough benefits, nor did she have enough chips to impress the Li family to confront the royal family for her.

Of course, she also hoped that Li Ying could do something for her, so that she didn't have to go back to Zhu Rongzhan's side, but she originally thought that this hope was very slim.

That's the crown prince after all......

It's royalty after all.

Therefore, Lin Yu still hopes that he can get together and disperse, and finally form a good fate, so as not to make him feel that he has been fooled, but hate her.

But I didn't expect Li Ying to ...... Actually?

This made Lin Yu worried: "Don't be impulsive! He is the crown prince, we are courtiers, what can we do? ”

"But Ayu doesn't want to, doesn't she?" Li Ying's clear light purple eyes stared at Lin Yu intently: "Ah Yu did not hesitate to pretend to be sick, did not hesitate to disguise, did not hesitate to deceive me...... It must have been cornered. It's hard, isn't it? ”

Lin Yu let out a low "um", and she looked at Li Ying aggrievedly: "My parents want me to be the crown princess...... No one helped me. ”

A tear slipped from her eye like a pearl.

She lowered her head and wanted to wipe off the water marks with the handkerchief handed by Li Ying, but found that the handkerchief had already been soaked with tears from before and could no longer absorb more water.

At this time, Li Ying stretched out her hand, gently wiped her cheeks, and wiped away her tears with the back of her hand.

He whispered, "I'll help you." ”

He looked slender and cold, but his skin was dry and warm, and his fingers were slender and well-defined, and he looked very powerful.

Lin Yu noticed that there seemed to be a layer of cocoons at the base of his fingers.

In his previous life, he lived in Beirong, where martial arts were abundant, and Lin Yu became quite sensitive to the traces of this aspect.

…… In that place, ordinary dancers and scholars will not have cocoons.

Unless it's a martial arts practitioner.

Li Ying practicing martial arts?

Just his thin body that looks weak?

So suspicious!

He only crossed for a moment, touched her cheek, then withdrew his hand restrainedly, and put it back on his lap in an orderly manner, Lin Yu's eyes chased his fingertips, unable to let go of this doubt, and boldly reached out to hold his hand.

Li Ying's body stiffened, her face turned red rapidly, and her fingers were obviously cramped.

Lin Yu put his hand into his palm and held his wrist tightly.

This time, the touch was even more pronounced.

Li Ying's palm is very rough, and it is not at all the fine skin and tender meat that the children of the scholar clan who do not touch the spring water with ten fingers should have.

He must have practiced martial arts, and he had been trained for a long time.

However, this doesn't mean anything, although it looks a little different from his appearance, it doesn't mean that Li Ying is ready to hide it. He didn't see Lin Yu much, maybe he just didn't have the time to mention it.

She also pressed her other hand on the back of Li Ying's hand, and said sincerely: "I don't want to bother you......"
