Floating Life Half Awake GL

At dinner time at night, the two sat facing each other, the atmosphere was quite warm at first, but gradually, the air began to be tinged with some ambiguity.

Even chewing and swallowing did not dare to be too loud, always feeling that, in such a delicate atmosphere, it seemed to be some kind of hint, or even seduction.

Her heart was rippling, and everything she saw in her eyes was full of temptations, especially every move of the person she loved.

With such dirty thoughts suddenly in her heart, Lin Yan didn't even dare to look up to the opposite side, for fear that the exquisite thoughtful person would see the ripples in her heart that shouldn't arise in her heart.

I can only bury my head in eating, and secretly calm the turmoil in my heart.

But this "weird" silence also made Xia Lan inexplicably "uneasy".

"Yan'er", finally couldn't help but speak first.

Lin Yan responded belatedly, "Huh?".

"After so many years in the army, I have a good friend"

Xia Lan asked strangely, Lin Yan was also puzzled.

"Sister Lan refers to"

"It's...a friend who is about your age"

Lin Yan frowned and thought for a moment, "There are quite a few soldiers of my age in the army, and I have many contacts with them on weekdays, but it may not be appropriate to call them friends. They must be afraid of me in their hearts. ".

"..."

Xia Lan knew that if she kept asking like this, she might not get anything out of it, so after a little hesitation, she decided to get straight to the point.

"Yan'er now, do you have...a sweetheart"

"Cough...cough cough"

Caught off guard, he choked on the food he had just eaten, his face was flushed and tears welled up in his eyes.

"Slow down", Xia Lan was so frightened that she hurriedly came over to memorize it for her, "Come on, drink some water".

Lin Yan stretched out his hand to take it and poured it all down, "How is it, do you feel better?".

Turning his head slightly, he met Xia Lan's worried eyes, "Well, it's much better."

Xia Lan then turned back and sat down. Lin Yan hesitated for a moment, "I, haven't thought about this problem yet."

Xia Lan smiled lightly, "If Yan'er is free, it's time to think about it."

Lin Yan was stunned for a moment, and various emotions intertwined in his eyes, "Wouldn't that be a habit of breaking sleeves, and Long Yang's goodness?".

"If there is someone he likes, Yan'er just needs to be himself."

"..."

Ever since he stepped out of the dining room, what Xia Lan said just now has been echoing in Lin Yan's mind, his heart is turning a thousand times, but his limbs are cold.

Could it be that Sister Lan noticed something, so she wanted to push it out?

When did she show her flaws, and what should she do...

There were so many thoughts in his mind that he had no memory of how to say good night to Xia Lan in the end, or how to return to his courtyard.

Soak in warm water until it feels like your chest cavity is about to burst before surfacing.

Shortness of breath, water mist filled the air, blurry eyes, but couldn't tell whether it was tears or mist...

Puzzled, not even half sleepy, dressed neatly, called Qing Ning to ask, only to find out that someone came to propose marriage today.

Lin Yan couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this. Unexpectedly, there are some things that even if you come here, you can't hide.

No matter in the previous life or in the present life, none of them could escape being blind dated.

It's no wonder that elder sister Gu Lan would ask this question tonight, she must have... mixed feelings in her heart.

After that, for several days, matchmakers came to the door one after another, saying the same thing over and over again, Xia Lan couldn't stand it anymore.

At night, seeing Xia Lan's tired face, Lin Yan felt distressed, so he had to persuade, "Sister Lan just ordered someone to send them away, so don't worry about it."

Xia Lan smiled helplessly, "Many of them are the wives of generals in the army, and it's not appropriate to be too rude."

"I can handle it"

Lin Yan knew that Xia Lan just didn't want to annoy them and cause her trouble in the army.But after running the army for many years, she thinks that her current ability is enough to deal with these.

"I know Yan'er can do it"

Xia Lan said so, but Lin Yan felt a little embarrassed.

"However, having said that, our Yan'er really likes girls."

"..."

"It's no wonder that we Yan'er are not only good-looking and good-natured, but also excellent in martial arts and martial arts."

When talking about these things, Xia Lan's bright eyes seemed to be filled with thousands of starlights, which were dazzling and fascinating.

But after all, I can only watch from a distance...

Lin Yan never needed the attention of thousands of people, as long as she could get people in front of her to look at her differently, that was enough.

"Sister Lan is starting to sell melons, is she boasting?"

"What? Can't a big sister praise her little brother for what he can do?"

"..."

It turned out that he was just a "brother"...

It turned out that she just regarded herself as a sister...

Lowering her eyes to hide the sadness in her eyes, "What they are looking at is just this Pingnan Palace and the position of Pingnan Princess".

But what they don't know is that in her heart, Princess Pingnan will always be alone.

Xia Lan's eyes flashed, and her expression became complicated and unspeakable.

"Yan'er..."

In the next few days, miraculously, the front of the palace suddenly fell silent.

Half a day later, Xia Lan learned the reason. It turned out that there was a sudden rumor in the streets and alleys in the past two days, and it was related to Lin Yan.

In the evening, when Lin Yan drove back, he saw Qing Ning circling at the door from a distance.

He pulled the rein and dismounted.

"Lime, you look like a headless chicken, what are you doing here?"

"My lord, you are back." Qing Ning stepped forward as if seeing a savior, "The princess is waiting for you in the study."

When Lin Yan stepped into the study, she saw Xia Lan standing by the window with her back turned to her.

"Sister Lan, I'm back"

Turning around slowly, the picturesque eyebrows and eyes lost a little smile, added a little worry, and a little heavy.

"came back"

"Um"

Then there was no further words, just looking at her quietly, with a touch of sadness in his eyes.

Lin Yan couldn't bear the silent staring, so he could only speak first, "Sister Lan, I".

In fact, before today, she had expected this to happen.

No matter what she did about this matter, she couldn't hide it from the people in front of her.

Lowering her head like a child who has done something wrong, Xia Lan looked at it, but couldn't bear it in the end, she stepped forward slowly, and stretched out her hand to straighten the uncluttered front of Lin Yan's chest.

"Didn't Yan'er say it himself, just ignore them, why?"

The unspoken words turned into a soft sigh in the end, but the words of reproach could not be uttered no matter what.

Xia Lan knows why Lin Yan did this, but it is because she knows that... how can she say that she has a hidden disease, what else... no, give it a try.

It's always like this, in order to protect them, in order not to cause trouble for them, they hurt themselves like this, time and time again...

But she can't do anything...

"Sister Lan won't ask me to marry one back, I'm afraid you will have even more headaches then."

Xia Lan gave her a helpless look, "You just love nonsense."

Xia Lan knew that what Lin Yan said was just to make her happy, and she didn't want to add any psychological burden to the person in front of her.

"Sister Lan, I'm hungry~"

"Okay, let's go eat"

Less than two days after the incident, there was another disturbance in the city.

On this day, Lin Yan was on his way back home, when he suddenly heard several women on the street whispering to each other.

In fact, in the past two days, it has become unaccustomed to point and comment on her in the streets and alleys.

But today, Lin Yan heard Xia Lan's name from those people's mouths. After listening carefully, he almost didn't draw his sword and cut those people down.

"Hey, have you heard? The current young prince of Pingnan secretly had an affair with the late concubine, and even conspired to kill the king of Xianpingnan"

"Ah, I've heard about it too. No wonder so many wives of high-ranking officials and dignitaries went to the palace to talk about matchmaking a few days ago, but they were all blocked back."

"The two of them have already made a private decision for life, how could they allow their little lover to marry another woman?"

"Hey, why didn't you say that?"

Lin Yan glared angrily, and the three belated women immediately dispersed like birds and beasts.

Holding the reins tightly with both hands, blue veins were already visible on his face, he raised the whip and dropped the whip, and the horse galloped away in an instant.

With a sullen face, he went all the way back to the backyard of the palace, and when he regained consciousness, he was already in front of the courtyard where Xia Lan lived.

But after hesitating again and again, he still chose to turn around and leave.

"Yaner"

Stopped, turned around, and saw Xia Lan standing behind the courtyard gate at some time.

"Sister Lan"

"Why don't you come in"

"..."

Lin Yan opened his mouth, but didn't know how to answer.

Xia Lan stepped down the stone steps and walked up to Lin Yan, "Are you tired?"

Lin Yan quickly adjusted his expression, "Well, it's a little bit."

"Then go eat first, I'll ask someone to prepare hot water, and I'll go to bed early after taking a shower"

"it is good"

From the beginning to the end, no one mentioned this matter, but Lin Yan knew, Xia Lan already knew, and Xia Lan also knew, Lin Yan also knew that she knew.

But just because I knew it, I felt even more sad.

I don't want Xia Lan to have any abnormal reaction after knowing it, but I also hope to see something different from her face, something called "hope".

But, everything is as usual...

After tossing and turning all night without getting a good night's sleep, he went out early the next morning with deep dark circles under his eyes.

Xia Lan just kept watching her walk away, with a trace of worry between her brows, which couldn't be dispelled or erased.

Originally thought, it would be good to maintain the current situation.

But now it seems that she is still too greedy...

She clearly knew that it was impossible for Yan'er to come to the study room this morning, but when Xia Lan stepped inside, she still felt that her breath and temperature still lingered in the surrounding air.

When I turned my gaze, I found a scroll of paintings scattered on the ground in front of the desk.

"How did it land here?"

Xia Lan glanced at the bookshelf in front of her, only the place where the scrolls were stacked underneath was a little messy.

Moving lightly with lotus steps, when I bent down to pick up the painting, I realized it was a portrait painting.

However, only the feet can be seen in the exposed part, but Xia Lan always feels familiar when looking at it.

After hesitating for a moment, he slowly unfolded the scroll in his hand.

In the courtyard where the first snow had just fallen, Xia Lan was wearing a plain white dress, standing on the snow, with a slight smile on her lips, stars hidden in her eyes, and the most breathtaking thing was the cinnabar red between her eyebrows.

The ten slender fingers pinching the scroll unconsciously exerted force, and in the upper right corner of the painting, a line of small characters was inscribed.

"The sun and the moon between the eyebrows, the stars in the eyes, the soul and the dream, the cinnabar in the heart"
