forced into marriage

How to face Chu Yu?

That's right, if he really had that kind of affection for Mr. Chu Yu, it would be unfair to Chu Yu.

But... Xiao Ran didn't know what to do, not to mention that it was their business, and it was not easy for him to intervene.

But think about it, it seems that he and Mr. really have no fate.

Seeing Lin Xi's conflict and not knowing what to do, Xiao Ran was in a dilemma and couldn't intervene, but he couldn't see that his son was sad.

"Try to let it go, or run away."

There are only these two methods.

lay down?How could it be possible to let it go, three years, he liked it for three years, how could it be possible to just let it go!

But if he chooses to escape...then he can't escape. If he escapes, he will implicate the Yongning Hou Mansion, his parents and sister, and...it will be unfair to Chu Yu.

Xiao Ran could see that it was even more difficult for him, but if he didn't let go, he would feel very uncomfortable. He would look at his young master and worry all day long. Between the two of them, Lin Xi had to choose one, or...no one.

"Always choose one, otherwise you will feel uncomfortable, and they will have a hard time. If you choose Mr., but obviously, we seem to have no fate with him. In contrast, if it is the prince, at least we can keep Yongning Houfu. "

Xiao Ran added: "Of course, these are just my thoughts. What I want you to choose depends on how you choose. After all, that's your business."

After he finished speaking, he didn't stay here, and walked out of the door lightly. After closing the door, he went back to his room and let Lin Xi choose by himself.

It was late at night, and the wind in the early spring night was still slightly cool, and it began to drizzle outside. The first rain in spring was so gentle.

The breeze blew in from the half-opened window, and when Xiao Ran left, he extinguished all the candles in the room. The wind blew lightly on Lin Xi's face. He seemed to be in a daze for a long time, and only then did he regain his senses. , He looked into the dark house, and then stared at the firelight reflected by the lantern hanging outside on the window.

He seemed to be in a daze again, but he didn't want to, maybe he was thinking about something, or he was really just in a daze.

The next morning, Maoshi

The rain last night, although small, did not stop, and it is still a drizzle until now. The rain 'slapped' on the new leaves of the ginkgo tree, slid down the green tiles, and then hung on the eaves. It fell drop by drop and landed on the ground.

At this time, Lin Xi woke up and hadn't slept all night. He wanted to close his eyes and squint for a while, but he still couldn't fall asleep. He had no choice but to listen to the sound of rain all night.

At this time, Xiao Ran didn't wake up, so he took off the gauze on his legs, took the medicine from the small table beside him, and changed it himself.

……

For the next half a month, they continued as usual, but in the middle, Chu Yu often ran to Jin'an, while Yan Qi often ran to the palace. When Lin Xi's retreat was better, he couldn't find Chu Yu if he wanted to. Ask Uncle Li and the others Uncle Li didn't answer what he was doing these days, he hesitated and mumbled.

Finally, his leg was finally healed. If it was not good, then Lin Xi might almost be moldy.

According to his personality, if he could run around, he would definitely not stay there. Anyway, Chu Yu was in Jin'an during this time, and Yan Qi was still in the palace, so... why didn't he go out to play?

So at night, he begged Uncle Li to go out to play.

Uncle Li had no choice but to deal with him, so he had no choice but to agree, and asked him to bring some attendants with him. Lin Xi agreed, after all, he didn't want to be tied up again for no reason.

Coincidentally, today is the night of the Spring Festival on the eighth day of February. On this day, spring pancakes, lanterns are prepared during the day, and houses and streets are decorated to welcome the spring.

This night is like the Flower God Festival that has passed by for a while, but the difference is that the Flower God Festival in Beiqi is a festival for women, regardless of whether they are married or not, they can participate in the Flower God Festival, and both festivals are dressed to represent a certain kind of flower. Costumes come to Yinzhulou for performances, and everyone can participate in the Spring Festival Gala, all for the purpose of being lively and smooth.

Because Lin Xi was good, and it was a bit cold at night, so Xiao Ran specially brought him a thinner cloak to wear.

As soon as Lin Xi got into the carriage, he kept looking out the window, Xiao Ran couldn't even scream, and when he was about to finish the market, Lin Xi asked the driver to stop, and he got out of the carriage.

The coachman also listened and waited here. After all, he was relieved that there were attendants accompanying him, but it was because of the attendants that Lin Xi wanted to joke for a while, so he asked the coachman to go back.

They didn't go to the market until the coachman drove the carriage away, but Lin Xi always felt weird, he couldn't let go of someone following him, it was weird.

He stayed there, and when he walked left, they followed him to the left, and when he turned right, they followed him to the right, anyway, they couldn't let Lin Xi out of their sight.

Xiao Ran stood still and looked at them, but he had no choice but to shake his head and look at the attendants, discussing with them: "If not, you should go too, or, stay away from us, or you will feel very uncomfortable."

Lin Xi nodded in agreement.

Those attendants, you looked at me, I looked at you, shook their heads at the same time, disagreed.

Seeing them like this, Xiao Ran looked at Lin Xi, expressing that he was helpless.

Lin Xi grimaced. He looked around at the stalls, and when he saw someone buying rope, he pointed to that stall and asked Xiao Ran to buy a rope about one meter long.

Although he didn't know what Lin Xi was going to do, he did it anyway.

After buying the rope, he took it and waved it in front of those people, then took Xiao Ran's hand, tied one end to his wrist, and the other end to his own wrist, dangle in front of them.

"That's fine, you can't tie me up again."

They looked at each other again and agreed, but they still had to be in their line of sight, they didn't need to be very close, just follow them from a distance.

No way, Lin Xi and the others had no choice but to agree.

Let them follow, anyway, if he doesn't have fun tonight, he will definitely not go back.

Then he pulled Xiao Ran with the rope and went to a crowded place.

Those attendants really followed a few meters behind them.

When they got out of the carriage, a person was watching them by the window of the private room on the second floor of the Yinzhu Building next to them.

The man was dressed in a grey-gray brocade jacket with dove gray patterns embroidered on the cuffs. The embroidered pattern from the hem to the middle was in the shape of a bamboo leaf, and the color was light and elegant. In addition, his face as gentle as jade was simply elegant and clean. , said the same as him.

The man didn't have much expression on his face. He picked up the teacup, kept his eyes on them, and stared at them away.

When Lin Xi and the others disappeared from his sight, a person came in from outside. The person's attire was that of a servant.

The servant came in without knocking on the door without saluting. Although he knew who the other party was, he just couldn't do it and instead spoke disrespectfully.

"Master is looking for it."

Just these three words, he said it loosely, and when he said this, he sat directly opposite that person, and his sitting posture was also casual, which made people feel the urge to fight when they saw it.

But the person opposite him was still expressionless, as if he was used to it, he moved his lips slightly, and wanted to say something, but he held back, then picked up a book he had read first, got up and left.

The servant naturally knew that he would go, so he didn't hold back. He looked at the table full of food and felt a little hungry, so he moved his chopsticks and started eating.

After entering the crowd, Lin Xi pulled Xiao Ran to look east and west, and the attendants behind him didn't stop, they followed wherever they went.

Half an hour later, Lin Xi was also hungry from shopping, and there happened to be a small stall on the left side of where they were standing, selling spring pancakes of various flavors.

When Lin Xi saw those snacks, his eyes lit up, and he pointed at each of them: "Boss, order some of each flavor."

"My lord, there are too many!" Xiao Ran stepped forward to stop him.

"Boss, just pretend, don't listen to him." Seeing that the boss hesitated, he told him to ignore Xiao Ran's words, then turned his head and looked at Xiao Ran aggrievedly, "I'm really hungry."

"That's not OK."

Xiao Ran was very firm, but Lin Xi didn't listen to him, and ignored him. He walked around him and looked at the attendants behind him.

"Well, do you know what flavor Chu Yu likes?"

what?

Why is the young master acting weird today?

Not only today, but for the past half month, he felt that Lin Xi was weird.

Could it be... Really think about it?

Seeing them, Lin Xi knew they definitely didn't know.

It doesn't matter, anyway, he bought every flavor, and there is always one he likes.

After giving the money to the boss, he carried the spring cakes and walked forward. Because of the rope, Xiao Ran was also pulled forward.

Looking at the sky, it was already dark, so they didn't stroll around for a long time, not to mention that Lin Xi's current legs could not walk for a long time, so they called a carriage and went back.

When the carriage stopped at the gate of King Ning's Mansion, Lin Xi got out of the carriage, and saw Uncle Li walking back and forth at the gate, and saw that his face was very anxious.

"Uncle Li?" He came forward with spring pancakes in his arms, "It's so late, why haven't you rested yet?"

When Uncle Li saw Lin Xi coming back, he hurriedly said, "My lord, you've come back. If you don't come back, my old life will be gone!"

Lin Xi wondered, "What do you mean?"

Uncle Li didn't have time to explain to him, so he took him inside and talked to him on the way.

Fortunately, Lin Xi had untied the rope while on the carriage, otherwise Xiao Ran would have been dragged away too.

Although he was not pulled away, Xiao Ran was also worried about his young master, so he followed quickly.

Yunshuiju study room.

Lin Xi hugged the spring cakes and stood opposite Chu Yu, while Uncle Li pulled Xiao Ran and stood outside waiting.

The whole room was very quiet, Chu Yu was reading a book, Lin Xi looked up at him from time to time holding the spring pancakes, to see if he was really angry.

Because Uncle Li told him on the way to bring him here that Chu Yu came back and asked where he was going when he came back, Uncle Li didn't dare to hide it from Chu Yu, so he told him the truth, so...

Lin Xi couldn't help it anymore: "If you don't say anything, I'll go back first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yu looked up at him.

"Where have you been?"

Um?Knowing why you still ask?Lin Xi thought.

"Didn't Uncle Li tell you? Tonight is Spring Festival Eve, so I went to the market." Lin Xi still explained to him.

He asked again, "Do you know that you are still injured?"

Lin Xi replied, "I know, I'm fine now."

Chu Yu put down the book, got up and walked around the desk, walked up to Lin Xi, bent down and looked at him: "You really don't want this leg anymore?"

When Chu Yu approached, Lin Xi stepped back. Just as he took a step back, Chu Yu hugged him around his waist and put him on the soft couch beside him, while he himself sat next to Lin Xi.
