Seeing the wooden basin floating further and further away, Shen Ruoyan had no time to feel sentimental. There were still several unwashed clothes in the basin. If she didn't get the basin back, Shuyao would definitely take the opportunity to punish herself, and maybe even drive her away.

Thinking of this, Shen Ruoyan took off her shoes, walked to the stream in a few steps, and stepped into the water without hesitation.

Lu Yan's eyes stayed on the girl's slender feet. The white and tender soles stepped on the uneven stones at the bottom of the stream, which made Lu Yan feel very uncomfortable in his heart.

Before he could realize what this feeling was like, his body was already pumping up energy, stepping on the water surface, and picked up the wooden basin.

"Thank you, Young Pavilion Master!" Shen Ruoyan saw that although Lu Yan had a straight face, he was still willing to help her get the tub back. She knew that he was only cold on the surface but would still be soft to her in his heart, so she smiled and reached out to take it.

The two people's fingertips accidentally touched each other, and Lu Yan immediately retracted his hand as if he had been burned.

Shen Ruoyan pretended not to notice Lu Yan's embarrassment, and deliberately asked: "Young Pavilion Master, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Do you want me to help you take a look?"

The little girl said that she was about to step forward.

Lu Yan took half a step back like a ferocious beast and said coldly: "Put on your shoes."

Shen Ruoyan lowered her head, moved her bare toes, and said in a very innocent tone, "But my feet are wet."

Lu Yan followed her line of sight and saw the girl's white and small feet.

She stood barefooted by the stream, her slightly upward almond eyes looking at her quietly, like an elf in the mountains, a little innocent and a little charming.Lu Yan was in a trance for a moment. He suddenly remembered how he, a foreigner, could stare at the girl's feet. He became even more embarrassed and the tips of his ears turned red.

Shen Ruoyan observed Lu Yan's reaction and felt happy. Seeing that Lu Yan's ears were so red that they could bleed, she decided not to tease him anymore. She sat on the stone and put on her shoes and socks. When she raised her head, But Lu Yan's figure had long since disappeared.

"Young Pavilion Master?"

"Lu Yan?"

Shen Ruoyan called a few times, but the only response she received was a few crisp birdsong in the forest.

Why did you just leave?

After finally meeting him, I still had something to say to him that I had been holding back!

Shen Ruoyan waited there for a while, and when she saw that Lu Yan was really gone, she hastily washed the remaining clothes and dragged the heavy wooden basin back to the meeting place.

After walking a few steps, Shen Ruoyan suddenly heard a light voice above her head.

"Shen...Miss Shen."

This is the back hill of Tianyan Pavilion, surrounded by only woods. Shen Ruoyan was so frightened that she heard someone calling her so suddenly.

Swallowing her saliva, Shen Ruoyan stiffened her neck and raised her head. She saw a black figure squatting on the branch. He was dressed in black. If you didn't look carefully, you would have thought it was a large crow. Fortunately, it was daytime. If it were night, it would definitely be It can scare people so much that they lose their souls.

"What... do you want to do?" Shen Ruoyan held a wooden basin in front of her and asked warily.

The man jumped down from the tree.

Only then did Shen Ruoyan realize that the person coming was Wei Xu.

"My dear nephew, why don't you call me aunt?" Seeing that she was an acquaintance, Shen Ruoyan breathed a sigh of relief, put down the wooden basin, and asked in a relaxed tone.

"Miss Shen, please stop joking with me." Thinking of the misunderstanding a few days ago, Wei Xu scratched his head in embarrassment, and then said his purpose of coming to Shen Ruoyan, "You have met the young master now. You should be relieved, I will be returning to the capital in a few days, so please go back with me!"

"No!" Shen Ruoyan refused firmly.

She finally met Lu Yan, how could she leave so easily.

"But it's not an option for you to stay here. Look at you doing these menial tasks every day. How can you stand it for a long time? Just go back with me. If the young master has any news, I will tell you as soon as possible. .”

Wei Xu said, picking up the wooden basin at Shen Ruoyan's feet. There were originally a lot of clothes in it, but after washing, the clothes were wet and added a lot of weight. Even a big man like him felt quite heavy when holding them. Miss Shen It was really difficult for this truly wealthy daughter of a wealthy family to ask her to do these things.

Shen Ruoyan was unmoved and asked instead: "Brother Wei, I have a few questions to ask you. How did Lu Yan become the Young Pavilion Master here?"

Wei Xu felt that this was not a secret, so he answered very readily: "The old master is the young master's grandfather. He raised the young master from a young age. Since the death of General Lu, the young master has also returned here to help take charge of the pavilion." thing."

Shen Ruoyan remembered the past that Lu Yan talked about while drunk and hugging her on New Year's Eve. He said that his mother died early and his father was sent to guard the border. General Lu took pity on his young age and handed him over to his grandfather. Raising is exactly what Wei Xu said.

"So when Lu Yan was in danger this time, it was the people from Tianyan Pavilion who rescued him?" Shen Ruoyan continued to ask.

Wei Xu nodded and simply told the whole truth, "When I learned that you faked your death to escape from marriage, the young master immediately took a few of us to Yizhou to bring you back. But halfway, The young master suddenly asked us to go to the nearby state government and deliver a few letters, and also told us to be careful on the road and deliver the letters as soon as possible."

Shen Ruoyan speculated that the letters Lu Yan asked Wei Xu to send were to inform the local state capital that an earthquake would occur in the near future, so that they could prepare early and evacuate the crowd, thus saving countless lives.

Wei Xu continued to recall: "After sending the letter, I just wanted to come back and join the young master, when I encountered an earthquake on the road. When I arrived, I only found you beside the pile of rocks. I asked the brothers to stay. I continued to look for the young master and sent you back to the capital. After returning to the capital, I heard from the brothers in the pavilion that the young master had been found, but he was seriously injured and was sent to Tianyan Pavilion for treatment. You should also know what happened next. ”

Thinking of the devastating earthquake, Shen Ruoyan couldn't help but clenched her fists.

It was a confrontation between man and nature. When they were buried underground, during that time when there was no hope at all, Lu Yan was always by her side. Because of each other's existence, Shen Ruoyan did not give up. Finally, he carved out a piece of skylight with his hands.

But when she was finally willing to open her heart and accept Lu Yan, Lu Yan forgot about herself.

"Then let me ask you again, what is Lu Yan's situation now? If he doesn't remember me, has he forgotten who he is?" Shen Ruoyan continued to ask, suppressing the waves in her heart.

She wanted to make sure how many things Lu Yan remembered now. Even if she forgot, he should at least remember that Lu Yan had won the top prize and became a high official.
