One day, Sui Linsheng came to send birds again on the pretext of sending birds. He squatted on the back of the rockery in Liu Mansion and watched Liu Fangru picking flowers to make sachets in the courtyard.

Liu Xuan came over and squatted with him to watch, "Why don't you go say hello to my sister?"

Sui Linsheng whispered: "She will go back after saying hello, and I won't be able to see her anymore."

Knowing that he was there, Fangru would usually avoid him, so she might as well squat down and watch quietly.

After getting to know each other for a few days, Liu Xuan developed a liking for this man who was madly pursuing his sister.

Because he didn't ask a lot about his sister like others, nor was he as frivolous as the rumors outside said.

Sui Linsheng's high-profile courtship had led to various remarks, mostly saying that he was frivolous, debauched, and a playboy.

It was not until they got to know each other that Liu Xuan realized that this person was actually very down-to-earth.

The bird-raising teacher is serious, and he is also careful in teaching him kung fu. When he takes him out to play, he avoids indecent places.

I won't be touched, and I am extremely clean and self-sufficient.

In terms of character, he personally feels that he has no choice, and in terms of family background, he is certainly not bad either.

Liu Xuan was a little curious, "There are so many ladies in the capital, why do you have to like my sister?"

Sui Linsheng was bored and casually plucked a piece of dogtail grass and shook it, "There's no reason, I just like it."

"But there has to be a reason. Where can I like someone for no reason?"

Sui Linsheng really hadn't thought about this question carefully, "Do I have to give a reason?"

"Of course!"

Mainly, Liu (reader) Xuan’s (reader’s) curiosity needs to be satisfied.

He asked curiously, "Did you fall in love with my sister at first sight?"

"No."

They were all from the same circle. They had studied together in academy when they were young, and had met each other more or less at various banquets when they grew up. It was not love at first sight.

"So, love develops over time?"

Sui Linsheng shook his head again, "No."

Although they often bump into each other, their interactions are limited to nodding acquaintances, with no unnecessary words.

In Sui Linsheng's memory, Fangru spoke very little and did not like to attend parties.

She likes to sit alone.

When I was little, I would squat beside the lotus pond and stare at the koi fish. When I grew up, I liked to look at the boundless sky...

I met her a few times at banquets and saw her standing alone in a quiet corner, admiring the scenery or looking at the sky.

Her hair was very black, which made the whiteness of her clothes stand out even more.

When the wind blows the leaves and the sunlight falls on her shoulders through the gaps between the mottled leaves, people suddenly feel that she is standing in the gap between noise and silence, so independent from the world.

Occasionally she would look back and her eyes would inadvertently meet his.

Eyes as pure as water reflect the colorful spring, so beautiful that it makes people's heart beat fast.

But with her eyelashes slightly drooped, the mottled shadows of the trees passed by her eyes, as if they were filled with shadows of the past, attracting people to explore.

Liu Xuan listened to his recollection and snorted, "After all this time, you just like my sister's beauty, so superficial."

Sui Linsheng knocked him on the head and said, "Fang Ru's beauty is enough to attract all the men in the capital. It's not an exaggeration to say that she is a fairy. Liking her is not superficial."

Liu Xuan covered his head, not knowing whether to be angry or not.

Angry, he compared his sister to a fairy, he was not joking at all.

Don't be angry, he hit himself, even though it doesn't hurt...

Forget it, don't argue with a naive man. My sister often teaches him to be sensible and mature.

He endures.

Liu Xuan rubbed his head and leaned closer, "So, what do you like about my sister?"

Comparing her sister to a fairy is an exaggeration. There are so many beautiful women in the capital, and Sui Linsheng is not blind to see them.

Therefore, it is impossible to attract Sui Linsheng to pursue her for so long just because of her appearance.

Liu Xuan was not stupid, he just teased him casually, but he didn't expect him to be serious.

Sui Linsheng had never thought about this question before. It was only after being asked by Liu Xuan that he pulled his chin and thought about it carefully.

When did you fall in love with it?

He really doesn't know.

Maybe it was because she was by the lotus pond and saw the carp jumping up and down, and she smiled happily.

Maybe she also picked up a stray cat and gently stroked its dirty fur.

Perhaps it was her lonely back as she stood in the corridor that made people feel pity for her.

It could also be that during the spring horse race, the second prince cheated and beat him, but he refused to accept it.

But when everyone else lied with their eyes open, she was the only one who stood up and said, "I saw it. It was his horse that broke through the red silk faster. He won."

Although the result did not change, everyone ultimately believed that he was unwilling to accept his defeat and slandered the Second Prince, but at least she was the only one who stood up and spoke for herself at that time.

Sui Linsheng went to find her afterwards and said thank you.

Liu Fangru said calmly, "You're welcome."

Sui Linsheng was very excited and kept praising her for being brave and upright, unlike those people.

When she heard the word brave, Liu Fangru smiled, mocking herself, "Don't praise me so much, it will make me ashamed."

Because she didn't dare tell the whole truth. After all, she only said that she saw him win, and she didn't mention that the second prince cheated in the middle.

But even so, Sui Linsheng was still very grateful, "At least you dared to stand up and didn't follow those people to curry favor with the powerful. I think you are a good person."

As soon as the word "good person" came out, Liu Fangru actually smiled.

Different from the self-deprecation just now, it is bright and has a helpless smile.

Maybe they think that these days there are still people who use such simple words as good guy or bad guy to define a person, which is silly and cute.

But Sui Linsheng was stunned at that time, and was so stunned that he couldn't speak.

Until a sharp arrow came towards her, he suddenly came to his senses, pulled the person into his arms and avoided the arrow.

But it was too late. The sharp arrow took away her hairband and fixed it on the wall.

Her black hair spread out instantly...

The arrow was shot by the Second Prince as a prank, which was to shoot off her hairband, leaving her hair disheveled and embarrassing.

The purpose was to teach her a lesson for talking too much.

After shooting the arrows, he left in a good mood with the palace guards, leaving behind a string of triumphant laughter.

Sui Linsheng impulsively went to seek an explanation for her, but was stopped by Liu Fangru, "I'm fine."

"But he went too far!"

"I'm really fine." Liu Fangru emphasized again.

Sui Lin was impulsive by nature and she didn't want to cause any more trouble.

The other party is a prince, so he has a higher level of power.

Sui Linsheng also knew that he had insisted on speaking out, and it was she who was implicated, so he could only clench his fists and apologize, "I'm sorry, it's all because of me that you got scared..."

But he had no ability to help her out.

"It has nothing to do with you. This is the nature of the second prince."

If it were another woman, she would have cried if she walked out with disheveled hair and was talked about by others, but Liu Fangru remained calm from beginning to end and did not blame him at all.

Sui Linsheng was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses. He quickly took off the hair tie that was fixed on the wall and tied it up for her.

Liu Fangru didn't want it, but said, "Throw it away."

Then he straightened his back, looked straight ahead, without a trace of panic on his face, and walked through the crowd with his hair loose.

A gust of wind blew, and her hair fluttered in the wind, like a piece of soft smoke dispersing.

Sui Linsheng was so close that her hair brushed his face.

It also touched his heart.

He didn't feel that she was embarrassed with her disheveled hair at that moment, he only felt that she was beautiful, indescribably beautiful.

In the end, Sui Linsheng didn't throw away the hair tie. Instead, he washed it clean and put it away silently.

From then on, he would never miss any occasion with her, and he would never let anyone bully her.
