Xin Yue had a lot to say, but in the end he just pursed his lips and answered his question lightly: "Just think that I am willful and arrogant and don't know how to appreciate others."

It was useless to talk more. The gap between the two had begun to spread. She could not find a way to remedy it. What echoed in her ears were the words he asked angrily that day:

"Who are you showing you to be so stubborn?! That pretty boy has already run away. Do you want to protect yourself by resisting me?"

"You lived in the same room in Jinshawan? I heard that you even kissed? Haha, except for losing your virginity, did you do everything you should do?!"

"Tell me, how far has it gone? Has he taken off your clothes or touched you?!"

After having such doubts, why is it necessary to continue?

She is not a god, she is just a woman. She cannot bear such filthy words. He will never know how much her heart throbbed when he said these words, as if her heart was dug out by a big hand.

It was thrown into the cold snow and trampled by the feet that came and went, turning it into muddy mud.

Bone erosion pain.

"Do you really want to leave?"

"Um."

Seeing her serious expression, Chu Zhiling couldn't help but tighten his lips, then opened his lips slightly, with a flaming color in his eyes: "I won't let you escape."

The turbulence in her heart was not reflected on her face. Xin Yue raised the corners of her mouth calmly and calmly, as if she was laughing at his stubbornness and domineering, and as if everything was already closed in her heart. If she said she could leave, she could leave.

She picked up the book that Chu Zhiling had thrown aside and looked at it quietly without saying a word.

——

"Master Yan."

The sky was very high and very blue. Yan Zhan was standing by the river in a long crescent-white satin. He had his hands folded and frowned slightly. After hearing the words, he turned around and asked in a low voice:

"It's Chengyuan, what's the matter?"

Cheng Yuan said respectfully: "Someone has come from Changzhou. The emperor said that he hopes you will return to the court as soon as possible."

Yan Zhan seemed a little tired and rubbed his temples: "Natsukawa Iori has just recovered from his serious illness. Now I am taking him sailing. I am worried that his health will not be able to bear it. You also know that if something happens to him, all plans will not be implemented."

Cheng Yuan nodded: "Master Yan has always been far-sighted and careful in everything he does."

"Come back to the court in two days. When he can stay and walk, we will prepare for the return trip to avoid any complications."

After Yan Zhan finished speaking, he asked again: "How is Xiaozhi?"

"I asked the envoy from Changzhou, and he said that Master Xiaozhi is still crying, and no matter how much medicine he uses, he doesn't get better."

A hint of worry flashed across Yan Zhan's handsome face. The wind on the riverside stirred his black hair. He sighed very lowly: "Xiao Zhi."

"In my humble opinion," Cheng Yuan moved his lips, "Master Xiaozhi needs someone to take good care of him."

Yan Zhan looked at the distant river and said with his lips: "I am helpless. I have been wandering away all year round. Most of the people in the house are devoted to my third brother. You few confidants have to accompany me everywhere. Now I can take care of Xiaozhi."

The only ones left are Cheng Ying and Chang An."

"My subordinate is saying that Mr. Yan can marry a wife. After all, children need mother's care. No matter how caring Cheng Ying and Chang'an are, they can't give Young Master Xiao Zhi maternal care. If someone takes good care of him, I believe Young Master Xiao Zhi will be happy.

Many physical diseases will also be relieved a lot." Cheng Yuan continued, "What's more, Mr. Yan has reached the age where he should marry a wife and have children, so he should think about it."

Yan Zhan shook his head: "The country is not yet settled, can you talk about personal happiness?" Cheng Yuan also said, Yan Zhan smiled and said, "What's more, I have never had a woman I like, Cheng Yuan, don't worry about it.

This kind of thing also depends on chance."

The blue sky stretches as far as the eye can see, with gray birds flapping their wings through the thin clouds. Yan Zhan stands by the river with his hands clasped behind his back, his long gown upright and his body erect.

Suddenly, a slightly abrupt voice broke in: "Master Yan is not well."

A group of white pigeons perched by the water suddenly flapped their wings and ran away as if frightened.

Yan Zhan frowned slightly, and the clean sunlight hit his jade-like face. He looked sideways and asked, "What happened?"

The man said with sincerity and fear: "Natsukawa Iori... ran... ran away..."

"What did you say?" There was a wave of confusion in Yan Zhan's eyes. Soon he stabilized again and said in a deep voice, "Find a way to chase him. He is seriously injured and can't run far."

"We have sent people to chase him." The man saw that Yan Zhan was not very angry, so he felt slightly relieved.

"Tell me how he ran away."

——

In the middle of the night, the moonlight was very clear, and the water in the courtyard was empty.

Xin Yue slept alone in the room. She was anxious to go to the bathroom, opened the door, and walked out. After she came back from going to the bathroom, a voice sounded behind her:

"lady."

Xin Yue only heard the sound, but not what was specifically said. She looked at the source of the sound drowsily, and saw a man in fluttering clothes standing under the big tree, with black eyes like jade, looking at her lightly.

Look over.

He opened his lips and called Madam again.

Xin Yue quickly removed his eyes and walked towards his room without stopping. The paper door was opened with a creaking sound.

Chu Zhiling came quickly and barged into her room before she closed the door.

In the past few days, the two of them had been sleeping separately, and Xin Yue refused to be in the same room with him. He had been suffering from insomnia for many days. He was busy with business matters during the day, but could stay up all night at night. He wandered in front of her room.

After walking around for a long time, it seems that my mind can become more stable.

Xin Yue seemed to know that resisting him was futile, so she didn't say anything. She turned around and poured a cup of tea and was about to drink it, but the man snatched the cup away:

"The water is cold and it's not good to drink it."

Xin Yue did not grab the cup in his hand, but picked up a small cup next to the pot, poured a glass of water, and drank it directly.

Chu Zhiling frowned slightly and put the cup in his hand on the table next to him.

Xin Yue was only wearing a single piece of clothing. She had become thinner and thinner these days. The clothes were a little too wide for her body, which made her look even smaller, with a face as big as a palm.

Chu Zhiling took her hand. The girl's hand was very slender and smooth. If she didn't pay attention, her hand slipped out of his hand.

Seeing her indifferent expression, he wanted to speak, but she opened her lips: "If you feel lonely, I don't mind if you find other women."

Chu Zhiling was stunned there, unable to recover for a long time. The wind and rustling outside blew by, and even the room became cold.
