Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

Lin Xi knew that she should actually be grateful to Shen Jingyuan, because with his presence, the Lin Mansion, which had been shrouded in darkness for three years, finally regained some popularity, and smiles gradually appeared on her parents' faces, which had been numb with pain.

But when she saw Shen Jingyuan being led by his parents to bow to Lin Min's tombstone, she couldn't help but feel nauseous from the bottom of her heart, and her stomach churned.

While no one was paying attention, she turned and ran, wanting only to escape from this suffocating situation.

On the unfamiliar mountain road, Miss Lin, who had never been out alone, unsurprisingly got lost.

The rain grew heavier and the mountain wind whimpered through the forest.

Her shoes had long been lost, her socks were soaked in mud and water, and the soles of her feet were scratched by gravel, causing a burning pain.

After her tears dried up, the belated fear and exhaustion flooded over her like a cold tide. In the cold windy forest, Lin Xi, who had suddenly developed a fever, could only curl up helplessly and hug herself tightly.

Her consciousness was groggy, and just before she was about to fall into complete darkness, a clear male voice with a hint of surprise faintly reached her ears.

"Is there... someone there?"

Someone! This voice was like a needle, piercing Lin Xi's chaotic consciousness. She struggled to open her heavy eyelids and looked forward through the gaps in her hair, which was wet from the rain and stuck to her face.

It was foggy and rainy, and the pines and cypresses were dense.

Not far away, a group of men and women dressed in uniform black or gray were surrounding a young boy.

The young man was wearing a neat black Zhongshan suit and had a very fair complexion. He stood out against the gray rain curtain and dark silhouettes of people, like a lone crane that had strayed into a flock of crows, surrounded by people like the moon surrounded by stars. He was looking towards her with his head raised.

"Help...help me..." Lin Xi used up her last bit of strength and made a weak cry for help.

Lin Xi's cry for help was so faint that it was almost inaudible through the layers of rain, but the young man seemed to have heard it. He paused for a moment, then strode towards her without hesitation.

The group of people behind him obviously did not expect his sudden action. They were suddenly in a panic and hurriedly chased after him with umbrellas, trying frantically to shield him from the rain.

The young man quickly walked up to Lin Xi and squatted down. The rain wet the hair on his forehead, but it could not cover his clear eyes.

"Whose family are you from? Why are you alone on this mountain?" His voice penetrated the damp rain and fog and reached Lin Xi's ears clearly.

Lin Xi's consciousness was blurred. The high fever and extreme fatigue made her vision begin to shake. The handsome eyebrows and eyes of the young man in front of her, distorted by the rain and tears, strangely overlapped with the warm and smiling face she was most attached to in the depths of her memory.

"elder brother……"

A huge wave of sorrow, a mixture of ecstasy and grievance, instantly broke down her heart. Lin Xi could no longer hold on, and her consciousness completely sank into darkness.

Just before she completely lost consciousness, she felt a warm and strong hand carefully supporting her falling body.

On the way down the mountain, the road was bumpy and shaking, and Lin Xi woke up in a daze.

Her head felt like it was filled with lead, heavy and painful, and her eyelids felt like they were glued shut, feeling as heavy as a thousand pounds. She used all her remaining strength to barely pry her eyes open a crack.

His vision was blurry and shaky, as if he was looking through a layer of frosted glass. All he could see was a thick, rain-soaked black cloth, which rose and fell slightly with the steps of the person beneath him.

She seemed to be being carried on someone's back. Lin Xi blinked and thought drowsily.

Her cheek was pressed against the man's back, and a warm warmth was continuously transmitted to her skin through the rain-soaked cloth.

Where my chest was pressed against, I could clearly feel the outline of the person's back. It was not broad, but had the thinness unique to young people. I could even vaguely feel the shape of the shoulder blades under the thin layer of muscle and flesh.

The figure of the handsome young man in a black Zhongshan suit before he fell into a coma naturally emerged in her vague consciousness.

"It's him...it's that person who's carrying me..."

She subconsciously sniffed her nose, which was blocked by the cold wind. A faint scent of roses mixed with chrysanthemums entered her nasal cavity, which seemed somewhat out of place with the earthy smell of rain and the dampness of grass and trees in the mountains.

it's wired……

Lin Xi thought drowsily that this slightly powdery fragrance and the cool and upright figure of the young man walking towards her in the rain in her memory, who seemed... not to match.

This was the last clear yet confusing thought in Lin Xi's remaining consciousness.

Then, a deeper fatigue came like a tide, completely drowning her, and along with the strange fragrance, she sank into endless chaos.

Later, Lin Xi learned that the young man who found her in the mountains was the eldest son of the Xu family - Xu Yucheng.

She began to stubbornly pursue his figure, imitate his preferences, try to get close to everything about him, and began a long and persistent pursuit.

But now that she thinks about it, apart from this attachment and reliance projected out of despair, what exactly does she like about Xu Yucheng?

Does she like his slickness and carelessness, or does she like his love for women and his countless beauties, or does she like his cold treatment of her and his avoidance of her?

Thinking of this, Lin Xi's eyelashes trembled involuntarily, and a deep feeling of fatigue spread in his heart.

"I can't really explain it. Maybe it's because..." She paused, then spoke uncertainly, "He saved me before."

"I can't repay you for saving my life?" Zhou Peishan raised her voice a bit, as if she hadn't expected this to be the reason. She raised her eyebrows exaggeratedly and poked Lin Xi's forehead. "I think your grandma didn't bind your feet back then, but your brain, didn't she?"

"Yes, the former court has been destroyed for so many years. Who would marry someone just for saving their life?" Li Yunfeng also held his chin and said in confusion.

"Am I that stupid?" Lin Xi reached out to straighten her bangs, which had been messed up by Zhou Peishan's poking, and defended herself. "Putting that aside, I've thought about it. The reason I've been obsessed with Xu Yucheng all these years, besides the shadow of that life-saving favor, is probably... more because I'm not convinced."

At this point, she subconsciously raised her chin, a hint of pride in her eyes, "Think about it, where am I, Lin Xi, any worse than the others? In terms of looks and family background, I believe I am not inferior to others."

"But it's just that Xu Yucheng who always ignores me and avoids me. This kind of person, the more he can't get, the less he takes you seriously. Instead, he gets stuck in a dead end and wants to prove something..."

"In the end, isn't this what I'm stuck in?" Lin Xi finished speaking and exhaled softly, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders. "But now, I've really let it go. I don't like him anymore. The obsession in my heart has dissipated, so naturally I don't care so much whether he likes me or not."

This sober and self-deprecating analysis left Zhou Peishan and Li Yunfeng speechless for a moment.

The two looked at each other and saw complex emotions in each other's eyes, including understanding and heartache, but more of a feeling of "it should have been like this long ago."

But this feeling comes... at a very inappropriate time.
