When Shen Li's figure disappeared, Mu Yan sighed lightly and slowly squatted down.

"Why don't you sit at the door and not go in?"

Shen Yan lowered his head and stared at the mask in his hand in a daze. After a while, he slowly replied, "I'm waiting for you to come back." ”

Mu Yan could hear the sadness in his tone, his heart tightened inexplicably, he lowered his head and looked at the mask in his hand, frowning slightly.

"Why don't you go to me?"

"I've found it. ”

Shen Yan's voice was low, completely devoid of his previous vitality.

"After hearing your message from the peddler, I chased after you all the way. However, I don't know why, this ten-mile long street, which I have been familiar with since I was a child, felt so long and strange for a while. So strange that I couldn't even find anyone. When I heard the bell ring, I knew I had missed time. But I'm so unwilling, Mu Yan! You say, you were still by my side a moment ago, why did you disappear all of a sudden?"

Speaking of this, Shen Yan finally raised his head and raised the corners of his lips to force a smile.

"I couldn't find you, so I wondered if you were back. I asked the guards in the house, and they said that you didn't come back, so I'll wait for you here!"

Mu Yan took the mask in his hand, and for a moment wanted to put it on his face. Because then she can pretend that she can't see anything, and she can also disguise her emotions.

But she couldn't. Avoidance is one of the most expressions of weakness. Especially the object is still Shen Yan. If she didn't make it clear, it would be even more unfair to him.

"Xiao Qi, let me tell you a secret. Would you like to hear it?"

"What's the secret?"

Looking at Shen Yan's eyes, which were already dyed with sadness, Mu Yan couldn't help but reach out and touch his cheek. Under his surprised expression, he smiled and said: "I, in fact, am a road idiot, but as soon as I go out, I can't tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest, and I don't even remember the way home." So unless I'm absolutely sure, I'm definitely not going to leave alone. Just now on the street, in fact, I've been waiting for you. Despite the increasing number of people, I am sure that you will find me. ”

"Then why-"

Shen Yan suddenly spoke, and suddenly paused for a moment before answering: "Then why, I came back by myself?"

Mu Yan lowered his eyes, as if he was sighing softly. "Because...... I met someone who was able to bring me back. ”

Shen Yan's eyes, which had just brightened slightly, instantly dimmed after hearing this. The person in Mu Yan's mouth, needless to say, knows who it is. When he saw that scene on the street just now, his heart was already floating. At this moment, it fell directly to the bottom.

He abruptly waved Mu Yan's hand away, stood up and walked towards the mansion. Halfway through, he stopped, clenched his hands and turned his head back.

"I don't like you anymore!"

Like a child playing with a temperament, Shen Yan's angry appearance made Mu Yan raise the corners of his mouth coldly, but he couldn't laugh. She nodded, her heart sour.

"Hmm. ”

"I'll send you back tomorrow! You and the third brother have a good life! If anyone bullies you in the future, I won't care about you!"

"Hmm. ”

Mu Yan responded lightly, but Shen Yan became more and more angry the more he spoke.

"Your temper is too stubborn, the third brother has a cold temperament, and it is no good to fight him. In the future, you will be obedient, be smart in everything, it is not a shame to beg for mercy, as long as your attitude softens a little, the third brother will definitely not embarrass you. ”

"Well, got it. ”

"What do you know? You don't know anything! Although the women in the Third Brother's Mansion are not favored, they all have identities and backgrounds. Although the third brother is a prince, he has to take care of a lot. You can handle everything by temperament? Look at how long you have been married, you have cut your hand, you have fallen into a river, and you have been whipped! Look at your weak appearance, how many times have you survived?"

It was rare to see Shen Yan so excited, Mu Yan knew that he was uncomfortable at the moment, so he obediently stood in place and listened quietly. Let him vent his emotions, always with a faint smile on his face.

But seeing Mu Yan's quiet and indifferent expression, Shen Yan frowned, but he couldn't say anything anymore. The thought of the happiness that was finally going to belong to him suddenly disappeared. He gritted his teeth tightly, and finally couldn't help but redden.

turned his back on his face, not wanting someone to see him so weak. The bright moon shines in the sky tonight, which should be a sweet and warm scene, but I don't want to fall so desolate.

"Mu Yan, I, am I one step slower?"

When you came back from the grasslands, you were married. Afterwards, I was inexplicably moved, you are already the third brother's concubine. At this time, you finally have a chance, and you have been taken off the mask again.

Mu Yan looked at Shen Yan's lonely back, and suddenly felt that he was very cruel. If you have already made up your mind, why do you want to give him hope?

She knew that all the facts in his mouth were the facts she was going to face, the palace and the deep courtyard, and the intrigue. She resisted with her temperament, where would she be an opponent? But even so, she still wanted to go back. Not for anything else, just for the night in the imperial city, the eyes that were different from the past made her inexplicably excited.

To say that Shen Yan is a fool, he fell in love with her inexplicably. In fact, how could she not be stupid? Knowing that the cold ice was not easy to approach, she persuaded herself to stay away, but at the same time she couldn't help but want to get closer. Although I tried my best to melt, in the end, I realized that as long as I could see him every day, it was enough.

So in the world of love, whoever falls in love first is the eternal loser. Infatuated people are destined to be hurt for a long time. It's like Shen Yan, it's like herself.

With another soft sigh, Mu Yan looked up at the bright moon in the sky. The tears in his eyes were half distressed Shen Yan, and half were sad for himself.

"No, it's all to blame, fate is just a matter of making people. ”

Raising his hand, Mu Yan put on the mask in Shen Yan's hand just now. After covering her entire face, she lowered her head and looked at the back in front of her, the stubborn young man.

"Shen Yan!"

Suddenly, there was a shout, which made Shen Yan turn his head again.

"In the next life, you run faster, I promise to wait for you. So, in this life, forget about me. ”

Tears slid down his cheeks, and no one could see them. Because his eyes were blurred, he couldn't see the boy in front of him clearly. Tears fell like her, but the brightest smile on her face.

"Okay! In the next life, even if someone finds you first, you are not allowed to go with him! I have made an appointment with the master, and I must not be cheated!"

"Hmm!"

He nodded vigorously. Mu Yan once heard someone say that agreeing on such a thing as the next life is mostly perfunctory nonsense. But at this moment, this agreement comforted both her and Shen Yan.

It wasn't until a long time later that Mu Yan knew that someone had always kept this agreement in his heart and never forgot it......
