Immersive Fast Wear: The Anti-Strike Manual of the Heartthrob

The fifth year of Chongxian, March 26th.

Today is Chu Xiaoyun's fifteenth birthday, and it is also the day when the Chu family will hold a coming-of-age ceremony for her.

Chu Xiaoyun sat in the chair and let out a long sigh.

"Great, after today, we can go out."

After returning from Fayun Temple, she never left the house again.

The main reason was the foot injury that day.

In fact, Chu Xiaoyun just sprained her ankle. On the way back, she was either carried on someone's back or sat in a sedan chair or carriage. She didn't touch the ground, so her injury didn't get worse.

After examining the patient, the court physician advised him to apply some medicine and rest for a few days.

But as she guessed, when she returned home, her mother saw that she was being lusted after by Yin Qian and limped back, but she took it very seriously.

"Your coming-of-age ceremony will be soon. You can't make any mistakes on such an important day."

"How about this, before the coming-of-age ceremony, you stay at home and learn some etiquette required for the ceremony."

Just like that, with just a few words from her mother, she was confined to her house for nearly a month and was not allowed to go out.

But strangely, Meng Wenjin hasn't come in the past month.

In the past, when he had a break or was not busy with official duties, Meng Wenjin would meet with Yin Qian under the pretext of accompanying her and make plans to go out and play together.

But after they parted at Fayun Temple, Yin Qian came several times, but he didn't follow her every time.

Chu Xiaoyun was still confused, wondering if he was just like her at the beginning, not used to the idea of ​​an engagement and felt uncomfortable, so he belatedly avoided her.

After all, at the beginning, she found it so hard to accept that she forgot to look at his reaction and didn't know what Brother Wen Jin's reaction was to the engagement.

If it is really as I thought at the beginning, and I want to avoid it because I am not used to it...

"No."

The time they spent together over the years cannot be thrown away so easily, Chu Xiaoyun thought.

No matter what he is thinking, I must ask him clearly. It would be worse to hide the truth.

Fortunately, even though she is under house arrest now, Meng Wenjin will definitely come on her coming-of-age day.

That day is today, and the first person to come to the mansion was Yin Qian.

She did not travel with Meng Wenjin, but was put into Chu Xiaoyun's boudoir by Aunt Chu in the name of accompanying her younger sisters.

"Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao, I'm here to keep you company and entertain you."

Yin Qian wore a light-colored dress today, which was formal but not too distracting.

As soon as she arrived, she handed the prepared gift to Chu Xiaoyun.

"This is the coming-of-age gift I prepared for you. It's a scented bag I made myself. Look, the peach blossoms on it were embroidered based on the pattern I made when I went to the peach blossom forest last time."

"And the fragrance inside is also from the dried clean flower petals I asked the abbot of Fayun Temple for. There is also a talisman inside that can protect you from harm."

The sachet looks simple, but it is full of Yin Qian's love.

Chu Xiaoyun took the sachet, put it to her nose and sniffed it, chuckling happily:

"I love so much."

Seeing that she liked it, Yin Qian happily sat beside her and chatted with her about some things to be prepared for the coming-of-age ceremony.

After chatting idly for half a minute, Chu Xiaoyun finally noticed something strange and asked:

"Qianqian, where is Brother Wenjin? He didn't come with you. Did he forget?"

Yin Qian met her cousin before going out. He was in a hurry to go out at that time, and she thought he was going to the Chu Mansion.

Now that I'm here and he hasn't come yet, I feel a little strange.

However, Yin Qian muttered quietly in her heart:

My cousin definitely didn't forget that today is Xiaoxiao's coming-of-age ceremony. There must be something else going on, and maybe that thing is very related to Xiaoxiao.

After so many years, she has long recognized one fact.

Compared to this blood-related cousin of mine, of course Xiaoxiao, this... hehe... sweet sister, is more important.

It is said that the authorities are confused and the beholder is clear.

Chu Xiaoyun and Meng Wenjin have been together for so many years. If it weren't for the intervention of that young master from Japan, she might have really thought that she and the other person were siblings.

I'm afraid they still think that their relationship with Brother Wenjin/Xiaoyun is natural and normal, and there is nothing unusual about it.

But in Yin Qian's eyes, their special feelings for each other have long permeated into every detail of their interactions.

That kind of specialness is definitely not simply the brother's care for his sister or the sister's dependence on her brother.

Yin Qian had been hanging out between the two of them for years, and sometimes she even felt that their relationship was getting boring.

But since I am the "matchmaker" connecting the two people, I naturally have to shoulder the responsibility.

The same is true now. We must not let Xiaoxiao have any opinions about her cousin.

She quickly took Chu Xiaoyun's hand and spoke for her cousin.

"My cousin must be busy with something. He will come over in a moment. I will definitely not miss it."

"Xiaoxiao, what kind of makeup did you do today? I've never seen it before. It's so beautiful. Wow, is that the dress you're going to change into later..."

Yin Qian had no idea what her cousin was busy with and quickly changed the subject.

After talking for a while, the maid who was helping Chu Xiaoyun to comb her hair and change her clothes came in.

Then the coming-of-age ceremony is held.

Chu Xiaoyun saw Meng Wenjin here, but she was busy at that time and couldn't get away, so she didn't rush to find him.

When everything was over, she changed into simple and light clothes and returned to her room to rest. Thinking of what she had thought about before, she asked Chunying to keep Meng Wenjin.

Unexpectedly, not long after Chunying went out, the maid who had been with Yin Qian in the morning came to look for her.

"Miss Chu."

The maid bowed first, then said:

"My young lady left early because of something. She said someone is waiting for you in the mansion garden, so she asked me to come and tell you the news."

Somehow, Chu Xiaoyun seemed to have a premonition: the person waiting for her in the garden was Meng Wenjin.

She nodded slightly and replied, "Okay, I understand."

After the maid left, Chu Xiaoyun sat alone in front of the dressing table and thought for a while.

For some reason, I applied a layer of lip balm to my slightly dull lips to make myself look more radiant.

Then she followed the maid's instructions and went to the garden.

Next to the rockery, under a tall banyan tree, stood a straight figure.

He seemed to hear some sound, turned around, and saw Chu Xiaoyun, smiling and walking slowly towards him.

"Xiao Yun."

Chu Xiaoyun only then noticed that Brother Yunjin was a little different today than usual.

He was wearing a long robe made of auspicious cloud brocade, and his jet-black hair was tied behind his head with a jade hairpin. There was a faint fragrance coming from his body, and every part of his body seemed to have been carefully considered.

Even the eyebrows above his eyes seemed to have been slightly trimmed, making him look more handsome than before.

He looked a little too serious, as if what was going to happen next was extremely important, which made Chu Xiaoyun who was standing in front of him feel a little nervous for a moment.

"Brother Wenjin, did you ask Qianqian's maid to let me come here? What's the matter?"
