It is cold all year round, windy and snowy, but everyone has long been accustomed to such an environment.

Quling's little face is buried in the snow-white fur collar, and only the tip of the nose with a light red color is exposed, which looks very cute.

Now she is sixteen, two years younger than Shi Ran, her whole face is delicate and beautiful, without the slightest smell of fireworks in the world, pure and tender, like a budding water hibiscus, delicate and dusty.

The temperament is very compatible with this ice and snow.

According to the ancient tradition, she is also considered to be of marriageable age, although she is not close to the female disciples in the Huashan faction because of the provocation of the dyeing, but after all, the Huashan faction has more men, and when she is bullied, there are often senior brothers and younger brothers in front of her.

This made Shi Ran hate her even more.

I hate her white rabbit-like look.

It always feels like she is deliberately pretending to be like this to win sympathy and attention.

After all, it's just a child born in a bandit's den, where can he be pure?

Shi Ran didn't say this to Yu Jinjiang.

It's just that Qu Lingyuan was too young to remember when she came to the Huashan faction, so it would be too far-fetched to say that she was suspected of smearing.

But the person I like has a sister who is not related by blood, and I feel uncomfortable no matter how I think about it.

I've thought about this question many times, if Qu Ling Kite is fine, if it's restless...

The end is probably no different from Gu Chi.

At this time, no one knew what Shi Ran was thinking, and everyone thought she was a kind and pitiful orphan.

On tiptoe, the kite rolled over and jumped off the roof neatly.

Passing by the courtyard where the head of the house lived, I saw Yu Jinjiang and Shi Ran walking out of the door one after the other.

Yu Jinjiang lowered his eyes and face, his eyebrows were slender and picturesque, but there was a sadness between his eyebrows.

"Brother Yu!" As soon as Qu Lingyuan saw him, his eyes as bright as stars flashed with surprise.

Running over and throwing herself into Yu Jinjiang's arms, her little red face lifted from her fur collar, and the brocade was already pale.

Before Yu Jinjiang could speak, Shi Ran on the side opened his mouth, with a sad tone and seemed to suppress anger.

This suppressed anger can only be felt by Qu Lingyuan.

Before Shi Ran's words fell, Yu Jinjiang felt that the little girl in his arms stiffened, her sweet little face slowly drooped, and she reluctantly withdrew from her arms and stood quietly aside.

"Sister Shi...," she replied weakly.

There is a palpable fear in this style, which is incomprehensible.

Yu Jinjiang's puzzled gaze turned to Shi Ran's face.

The other party's face is full of gentleness, and his body is full of grace, so no matter how you look at it, it will make people feel scared.

Besides, there aren't many times when Qu Ling Kite and Shi Ran meet...

Feeling Yu Jinjiang's gaze, Shi Ran laughed a few times.

Although this Qu Ling Kite is afraid of her, she usually ignores her when she sees her, what's wrong today?

Finally ready to uncover the White Lotus and pour dirty water on her?

Sure enough, she guessed correctly, this girl's usual innocence and harmlessness are all pretended.

"What's wrong with Ling Kite, you've been wronged?" Shi Ran said in a soft voice, and took a few steps closer.

"No... No..."Qu Lingyuan dodged behind Yu Jinjiang with her steps, and her little hand grabbed the clothes on Yu Jinjiang's waist, trembling slightly.

Shi Ran couldn't see her trembling, but Yu Jinjiang felt it, and his heart became more and more confused.

This kid has never been afraid of heaven and earth, and there has never been such a time.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more embarrassing, Yu Jinjiang had no choice but to adjust his voice: "Shi Ran, you go and gather the disciples first, and I'll send her back to the room." ”

Shi Ran paused and replied unwillingly: "Okay." ”

Grabbed Qu Ling's kite with his backhand, and Yu Jinjiang took her away, leaving only a back for Shi to dye.

The fingertips of the little girl in the palm of her hand were cold, and she didn't know if she was frozen or scared.

His fingers are slender and graceful, and his palms are delicate, not like a person who practices martial arts.

Qu Ling Kite was fascinated and was pulled all the way back to the house.

Without saying anything all the way, Yu Jinjiang entered the house and closed the door, then sat opposite Qu Ling Kite and asked carefully.

"Why are you so afraid of dyeing?"

In the end, he was a child who grew up, and Yu Jinjiang didn't want to see her wronged.

But Shi Ran is the person who the head of the family personally entrusted him to take care of, and it is not suitable for him to favor anyone now.

Qu Ling Kite was speechless, and she wanted to speak several times, and her little face was flushed.

Yu Jinjiang looked funny, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and his palms rubbed on the top of the little girl's head: "Say, there is only me here, and I won't do anything to you." ”

The little girl sitting in front of her was silent.

Yu Jinjiang knew that he would give her a little time, so he didn't continue to ask.

Qu Ling Kite did not speak, but silently rolled up her sleeves, revealing the hideous blue and purple on the white and tender lotus arms.

This is not evidence that she had prepared in advance, but it was really the scars of those who had been dyed and provoked and who were not used to seeing her with punches and kicks.

In the end, there is still a rule that men and women do not kiss, the original owner has never seen these scars for Yu Jinjiang, anyway, those people will not be killed, and the pain will pass in a few days at most.

She doesn't care about anything, she doesn't care that others hate her, she doesn't care about the pain in her body.

The only thing she cared about was this brother.

Raising his hand to support her arm, Yu Jinjiang's originally smiling eyebrows became gloomy.

The little girl trembled when his fingers touched the scar, and it was obviously still in pain, but she didn't dodge it.

"What's the matter, who hit her?" Yu Jinjiang pursed his thin lips and looked at her.

Quling Kite is so afraid of dyeing, it shouldn't be dyeing, right?

But she doesn't look like that...

Qu Lingyuan shook his head lightly and said softly: "There are many people, I can't remember..."

"Then why are you so afraid of dyeing?" asked Yu Jinjiang again about this crucial question.

Qu Lingyuan's eyes flashed with envy, and her answer was not clear: "Sister Shi is so good, my father is the head, so many people like her, and everyone listens to her." ”

Having said that, Yu Jinjiang also knew that she didn't want to answer this question head-on.

But with a little bit, he almost understood the meaning of Qu Ling's expression.

It's nothing more than what Shi Dye said to the others.

Qu Lingkite's life experience is already controversial, and children born in bandits' nests, even if they are raised in Huashan since childhood, are often looked down upon.

Yu Jinjiang knew this, so he always tried his best to protect the child from being bullied.

Now it seems that in the dark places that he did not take care of, this child still suffered a lot.

But why did she never say that she had been suffering everything silently?

"Brother Yu, don't worry about this matter, I don't have any problem. Sister Gu Chi is gone, the head of the family should choose to marry Sister Shi to you, right? You brought me back to Huashan to raise me, I am already grateful, and I don't want to affect your life, I just need... It's good to stay by your side and ask for nothing else. ”

Qu Ling Kite stretched out his hand and grabbed Yu Jinjiang's sleeve, his white and tender little face was like a crescent moon, like flowers and trees piling up snow, and the corners of his mouth were slightly curved upward, with a little sad smile.

It's distressing to be sensible.
