The rain became heavier and heavier, pattering on the banana leaves, disturbing the tranquility all night long. The entire Qingyun Academy fell into a deep sleep.

Xu Yan changed into a black dress, put on a curtain hat and walked into the dark night. She walked quickly, looking up from time to time to look around.

Seeing a familiar plaque in front of her with the word "Men's House" written on it, she quickly scanned the scenery on both sides, crouched down and prepared to run forward.

At this moment, a group of disciples wearing Qingyun Academy uniforms patrolled to the men's dormitory with lanterns. Hearing the rustling sound from the trees, the leading disciple came over with a lantern and asked: "Who is it?"

Xu Yan immediately hid her body behind the big tree. Her heart beat like a drum, as if it would jump out of her throat at any time. Listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer, she suddenly lost all thoughts and closed her eyes tightly.

He closed his eyes and leaned his legs softly against the tree.

"Meow——" A black kitten jumped out from in front of Xu Yan and ran straight towards the disciple.

The disciple used a lantern to illuminate the objects in front of him, and only saw the kitten's eerily bright eyes. He gave a light "tsk" and returned to the team.

"What's wrong, who is there?"

"It's nothing, it's just a black cat. It's so unlucky. Let's go!"

Xu Yan breathed a sigh of relief as he listened to their conversation going further and further away.

After a while, until there was only the sound of raindrops in the sky and earth, she looked forward again. The door of the men's dormitory was not closed. The disciple who was watching the night yawned, looked around, and leaned against the threshold to sleep.

passed.

When the disciple fell asleep, she counted three times in her mind, "Three, two, one!" Xu Yan ducked and ran into the courtyard quickly. It wasn't until she entered that she felt a little unbelievable: She actually

Would you really do such a bold thing!

But the top priority is to find Yun Qi's location. Strictly speaking, Yun Qi is not a disciple of Qingyun Academy, but the grandson of Tutor Yunlang, and he has not lived in Qingyun Academy for a long time. Considering this special status

, the warden arranged for him a guest room in the men's dormitory.

Based on the information he learned, Xu Yan reviewed the map in his mind and ran to the southeast.

The rainy night was very cool, and the wind was wet. It carried the rain and slapped her face, which relieved some of the tension of running.

She searched for them one by one, barely stopping in front of the windows, and quickly passed by them. Until she stopped in front of a window with orchids. Almost intuitively, she immediately locked onto this place.

She gently opened the window and looked inside. The room was dark, with only a few rays of moonlight barely illuminating her vision. The room was very simple, with only a desk and a bed.

Xu Yan used his hands and feet to push almost half of his body in, trying hard to look at every item in the room before finally confirming that this was Yun Qi's room.

The familiar cold fragrance floating in the air almost drowned Xu Yan here. She sniffed, took out the letter from her arms, and threw it on Yun Qi's desk with great care.

Fortunately, she was smart and tied a jade pendant to the letter, otherwise she might not be able to throw it away. But because of this, the jade pendant made a "bang" sound when it hit the desk, which was particularly obvious in the quiet night.

Xu Yan heard the sound of Yun Qi turning over and hurriedly retreated and closed the window, but he retreated too quickly and fell to the ground.

She got up and rubbed her butt, ignoring the pain, and quickly returned along the same path.

The rainy season has obviously passed, but the sky in the capital city seems to have opened a hole, and the rain keeps pouring down. The disciples of Qingyun Academy complained and got up earlier than usual.

Xu Yan stepped out and found that in just one night, a layer of rainwater had accumulated on the ground, and the floating water had reached her calves.

She looked around at a loss, and then realized that she lived far away from other disciples. She sighed, and was about to accept her fate and walk over, when a person suddenly appeared in front of her.

He saluted her respectfully and said, "Your Majesty has prepared a carriage for Your Highness. Please come with Your Majesty."

What a familiar scene, but the person in front of her was no longer that person. Suddenly those clear eyes flashed through her mind, and she was stunned for a moment. I wonder how he lived after that day? After all, she was the one who felt sorry for him...

...

The secret guard did not let Xu Yan wait for too long, so he brought the carriage. Xu Yan got on the carriage and staggered to Yun Lang's study.

Her eyes swept across the two tables, and there were still only Lu Huai who was smiling and Liu Fei who was quietly flipping through a book, without him.

Her heart suddenly became a little nervous: I wonder if Yun Qi received that letter?

This day, she was a little absent-minded. The strange thing was that she could clearly feel Yun Lang's eyes on her from time to time. Whenever she looked up, she met Yun Lang's probing eyes, and she could only feel embarrassed.

Give a smile in response.

Finally, when class was over, Xu Yan ran back almost as fast as he could, not even having dinner.

Yun Lang looked at her rabbit-like back and fell into deep thought.

Is this skirt too conspicuous? Is the color of this skirt a little dull? I'm afraid I can't see what she's wearing when we meet at night. Xu Yan took out all his clothes in the room

, tried them one by one without getting tired of them.

It wasn't until it was almost midnight that she frowned and chose the first pleated skirt with peony flowers. She usually didn't like to wear these gorgeous and complicated dresses, but inexplicably, she wanted to be the most beautiful one.

The beautiful side is shown to Yun Qi.

She put on a few beads and clumsily took out the powder from the powder box and smeared it on her face. She looked at her too-white face in the mirror, frowned, and then picked up some rouge and applied it to her cheeks.

go.

Alas, it would be great if the Fourth Palace Maid and the others were here, and they wouldn't let her delve into these bottles and jars here alone.

The mirror reflected her face vaguely, and she couldn't see it clearly. However, since applying these things would make a woman look better, it would have some effect.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with her, she took an umbrella and walked into the night.

She felt a little regretful. She had been choosing clothes for too long. Could it be that it had already passed Haishi? Would Yunqi still be there waiting for her? Thinking of this, she walked quickly and ran forward.

Before stepping into the bamboo forest, Xu Yan took a few deep breaths, straightened the beaded flowers on his head, and then walked forward.

There was no one in the bamboo forest, and the sound of Xu Yan stepping on the leaves was infinitely amplified in the empty night. She looked around and called softly: "Clouds are rising? Clouds are rising?"

No one responded, she could only hear her own voice echoing faintly in the forest, and her heart suddenly collapsed.

Maybe she came a little early, she told herself.

"Pah, pata", I don't know how long it took, the rain that had stopped swept back again. Xu Yan didn't know how long she had stood here. The night in May was so cold. It made her feel as if she was feeling cold from head to toe.

It was as if he was frozen and couldn't move.

The rain kept falling, as if it was going to wash away everything in the world. As the dusk faded, the umbrella in Xu Yan's hand disappeared.
Chapter completed!
