The next day, after Lu Lingxi got up early and packed everything, he had some free time since he didn't have to practice calligraphy with Master Yan. He thought that the man in black was brought back by him after all, and now that he woke up, he should go and greet him. So he went to the guest room in the main courtyard with Chunhong, Liulu, Chang Wei and Xiaohua.

When Lu Lingxi arrived at the door of Nan Wangyu's guest room, the outer door was open, but Lu Lingxi still knocked politely, "Hello, I was the one who brought you back home yesterday. Today I came to see if you are okay. Is it convenient for you to come in now?"

After hearing Lu Lingxi's voice, Nan Wangyu put down the book in his hand, straightened his clothes and said, "It's convenient, come in."

As soon as Lu Lingxi stepped into the inner room, he saw Nan Wangyu, still dressed in black, with skin that looked particularly white, so white that it reflected light. However, he looked much better today than he did yesterday when he was pale. At this moment, his right hand was resting on two stacked pillows, and his left hand was hanging naturally on his leg. He was holding the book he had just read, but the page was not closed, and was still on the page he had just read. His face was angular like a sculpture, and his black eyes were extremely deep, flowing with an elusive light. He was very beautiful, but not at all effeminate. He was really like a banished immortal. His appearance was quite suitable for Sister Gu.

At this moment, he looked at Lu Lingxi with a lazy and casual smile and said, "Lingxi, you are here, come and sit down."

He called Lu Lingxi by her name in a familiar way, not Miss Lu, but it didn't make Lu Lingxi feel abrupt, as if they were old friends who had met again after a long separation. But Lu Lingxi still felt that it was a bit too much to really sit by his bed, as they were not that familiar with each other. So he told Liu Lu, "Liu Lu, go to the outside and help me move a stool, I will sit and talk with this young master."

Lu Lingxi felt that being a young lady in ancient times had its advantages. There were many things that she was too lazy to do, so she could order her maid to do them, hehe.

"Please excuse me for laughing at you, Lingxi. I'm not a young master. I'm just a low-ranking secret guard. I can't reveal my name. You can call me Xiaoyuer. This is the name I thought of for myself yesterday." Nan Wangyu thought that since his name contained the word "Yu", calling me Xiaoyuer was quite appropriate.

"Xiao Yu'er? Do you have a brother named Hua Wuque?" When the name Xiao Yu'er came out, Lu Lingxi thought he had traveled to the novel "The Twins of the Red Lotus"? But the other parts didn't match.

"Hua Wuque? This name is very good, but it's a pity that I don't have a brother with this name." Nan Wangyu was confused by Lu Lingxi's question.

Hearing him say this, Lu Lingxi felt relieved. Otherwise, if he was really Xiaoyuer and really had a brother named Hua Wuque, then wouldn't she have really traveled through time to "The Twins of Red Dust", and was a character that was not mentioned? Wouldn't she not even know how she died?

Liu Lu moved the stool quickly. After Lu Lingxi sat down, he said, "It's nothing. I just said it casually. Don't worry about it. How do you feel now? If you feel uncomfortable, please tell me immediately so that Doctor Wang can prescribe the right medicine."

"I'm fine. Doctor Wang is an excellent doctor and his medicine is very effective. I haven't thanked you yet. Thank you Lingxi for saving my life. How can I repay you?" Nan Wangyu looked at Lu Lingxi with a teasing look in his eyes.

"You don't have to worry about it. It was just a piece of cake for me to save you. Besides, I didn't do anything. Chunhong helped you stop the bleeding, and Doctor Wang prescribed the medicine for you. I really didn't do anything." Lu Lingxi really felt that he didn't contribute much. He just talked.

"How about I pledge myself to you?" Nan Wangyu ignored Lu Lingxi's words and spoke to himself.

"Ah?" Lu Lingxi's face turned red. This guy was too straightforward.

"You...you...didn't you hear me just now? I said I didn't put in any effort. It's too serious to sacrifice yourself for it. There's no need for that. There's no need for that." Lu Lingxi waved his hands repeatedly and leaned back, trying to avoid it as much as possible.

"It hurts my heart that Lingxi avoids me like the plague. Am I too ugly and not worthy of you? Or is it that my family background is not as good as yours and I cannot give you wealth and glory?" Nan Wangyu continued to act aggrieved, his right hand clenched into a fist, his facial features wrinkled, as if he was about to cry at the next moment.

"No, I didn't. Don't talk nonsense. I didn't say you are not good. You are pretty. It's just that I am still young and I don't want to think about marriage. Everything is decided by my father. So, I really don't deserve to be pledged to you. It's not that I dislike you." Lu Lingxi knew that the only way to justify this matter was to push the blame onto Lu Yi. Didn't the ancient times emphasize the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words?

"Oh~ So Lingxi means that you still like me?" Nan Wangyu's eyes lit up, as if he was expecting Lu Lingxi to say that she liked him.

"This...that's not what I meant. Actually, today is the first time we met and talked, so how can we talk about whether we like each other or not?" Lu Lingxi looked at Xiao Yuer's expectant expression and couldn't bear to refuse him directly, but he couldn't just say that he liked him.

"Puchi... I was just kidding. How could you save my life and then force you to marry me? I would be so ungrateful." Nan Wangyu suddenly laughed, feeling a little disappointed in his heart. It turns out that my appearance is not enough to make Lingxi fall in love at first sight.

"Haha!" Lu Lingxi smiled awkwardly. This joke is not funny at all!

"Although you are much better now, your injury is still quite serious. There is nothing else to do here, so just rest more. I'm leaving first and won't disturb you anymore." Lu Lingxi stood up and prepared to leave. The two of them were not familiar with each other, so it was not clear what else they could talk about.

"Lingxi, didn't you just get here? Are you leaving now? Did I offend you just now and are you angry?"

"No, I'm not that petty. It's just a joke, not worth getting angry about. It's just that I have to go to class and learn skills on weekdays. It's a rare Dragon Boat Festival holiday, so I want to accompany Chang Wei and Xiao Hua. I'm going to take the dog for a walk now, so you should pay more attention to rest." He pointed to the two silly little dogs playing nearby.

"Is this your pet? It's really lively and cute, just like its owner." Nan Wangyu praised Chang Wei and Xiao Hua for being cute, and even mentioned Lu Lingxi. But it's not clear whether it's a compliment to say that a person is as cute as a dog.

"You're too kind. They're very cute." Chang Wei and Xiao Hua seemed to have understood what Lu Lingxi meant when he said he would take them out to play, and they had already walked out. Lu Lingxi hurried to follow them, but he also turned back and said politely, "Xiao Yu'er, you should have a rest. I'll come to see you another day when I have time."

Chunhong and Liulv also followed Lu Lingxi out of the guest room. Liulv caught up with Lu Lingxi and said jokingly, "I don't know if this little fish is stupid or not. He actually said that you are as cute as a dog. Is this a compliment or an insult?"

Chunhong said helplessly: "Xiaoyuer can't speak, so why did you repeat it again? Are you asking for a fight?"

Lu Lingxi turned around and agreed, "Yes, I think Xiao Liuzi is looking for a fight. Come here, Chunhong, let's use the family rules."

After saying that, he winked at Chunhong, and the two of them tickled Liulv's armpits together. The three of them and the two dogs walked away laughing.

Nan Wangyu heard the conversation between the three people and couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand. He just thought she was really cute and didn't mean to compare her to a dog.
