Marrying Gold and Jade

Lin Yu came out of the Xiangmei Garden and after walking a few steps, she saw a man standing at the intersection.

Or in other words, wait.

That matter hasn't been made clear yet. Now that she brought it up, Lin Ji can't pretend not to know.

"Tired?"

Lin Yu had already returned to the courtyard to rest and had dinner.

She had been carried and lifted all the way down today, so she was naturally not as tired as Lin Ji. She also heard that he wanted to talk to her, so she answered "Not tired".

It was already getting dark, and Lin Ji said, "Put on your clothes."

Qingdai stepped forward and put clothes on Lin Yu.

"I'll take her back."

The implication is, don't follow.

Qingdai went to see Lin Yu's intention.

Thinking that he had not drunk any alcohol today and was very sober, and would not do anything rash, Lin Yu nodded.

The two of them were left walking together, and the first thing the man said was: "You rejected Shen Lian's proposal of marriage."

"Yeah." Lin Yu responded indifferently.

"Why?"

"Didn't you also reject Cheng Guokejia?" she asked instead of answering.

Lin Yu was not surprised that the person next to him did not answer for a long time.

He is just a dull bookworm.

I can read and write, but I can’t say what I’m thinking.

Just as she was about to get to the point, she suddenly heard a sentence: "Because I don't like it."

Lin Ji said: "I just want to marry the person I love, and only this person for my whole life."

It turns out that he is good at more than just writing articles.

These love words spoken in a cold and clear voice are also particularly beautiful.

But saying it to myself, it is indeed a bit of a waste, after all, Wan Ying was not there.

"Me too," she responded nonchalantly, "I also just want to marry someone I like."

The two walked to the pond in the garden. Lin Yu remembered the corridor at the end where Lin Ji had hugged someone intimately.

He turned around and didn't want to go forward.

Lin Ji beside him suddenly asked, "Do you have a crush on someone?"

The girl's steps were firm.

Have it?

After Xu Jinxuan’s explanation on the mountain, she felt that it was not possible at the moment.

She liked Mingyuan, but not so much that she would marry him regardless of the consequences.

So she just said: "This has nothing to do with you."

She came out with others, clearly not for these things.

"How can it be irrelevant?"

The man sighed, his voice floating in the night, and if you didn't listen carefully it sounded more like he was talking to himself.

Shen Lian is a good man, and if nothing unexpected happens, he will become a caring husband for women in the future.

As his best friend and classmate of ten years, Lin Ji knew it very well.

But when he showed some admiration for Lin Yu, Lin Ji was not happy, but felt a little afraid instead.

Listen to the piano by the flowing water and meet soulmates.

He was afraid that Lin Yu really fell in love with Shen Lian.

Therefore, he narrow-mindedly prevented the two from having the first meeting.

On the day when Grand Tutor Shen brought him the red coral, he sat in silence in the hall, but he was actually thinking a lot.

In terms of appearance, I am no worse than him.

In terms of achievements, he was the top scholar, while he was only a third-class Jinshi.

Talking about family background…didn’t everyone say before that Lin Yu would marry me?

But in the dim warehouse, Lin Yu asked, who are you.

Like a stone thrown into a lake, creating thousands of ripples.

He couldn't speak because he was the elder brother.

How could he explain that he had never considered her his sister since the moment she fell to the ground?

"A Yu."

This call made Lin Yu shudder all over.

She clutched her coat tightly, subconsciously not wanting to hear him continue.

So I interrupted him and asked, "How long are you going to chat?"

"Lin Ji, it was you that night, right?"

She was certain of it, and she found his evasive attitude shameful.

"I know that you don't know how to explain this kind of thing, so you just want to cover it up. But have you ever thought about me?"

"Innocence is very important for a woman. I will be scared and will not be able to sleep all night because of this matter."

Lin Yu thought he saw it clearly, but he just didn't want to mention it, because the kiss that night was not intentional, and because their relationship as brother and sister was difficult to talk about.

Therefore, even if we stand face to face, it is difficult to break things down and talk about them.

"I'm asking you, is it because of the alcohol?"

She didn't want to know the details. As long as he admitted that it was an accident and kept his mouth shut, she would be able to get away with it.

Not long after, Lin Ji answered: "Yes."

"Well, then we'll all forget about him and everything will be the same as before."

"Once upon a time?"

"After all, you have helped me many times. No matter who you like, as long as you don't help her to harm me, we will continue to be a pair of unclose siblings."

She thought she was considerate enough, so she took the initiative to turn the page and put the relationship back to its original place.

Although she still felt uncomfortable when she thought about what happened between him and Wan Ying, "the same as before" was already the best outcome until she completely resolved the issue with Wan Ying.

But the man opposite said: "You didn't treat me like this before."

It was dark at night, and even though he was holding a lamp, Lin Yu still couldn't see his expression clearly.

What do you mean?

Do I have to chase after him foolishly, flatter him, and respect him, before he will be satisfied?

"Don't go too far."

The water by the pool was a little cool, just like the atmosphere between the two of them.

Lin Yu didn't want to continue talking to him and was about to leave, but the object she had been holding in her hand for a long time reminded her.

"This is the amulet I promised you earlier," she handed it to him with her palm facing up, "Since it is something I promised, I still have to do it."

The yellow talisman lay quietly in the white palm.

The man reached out and took it.

Lin Yu quickly shrank back and said, "It's late. I need to go back and rest."

Lin Ji promised to take her back and held a lantern to light the way for her.

He clearly wanted to say something, but she stopped him and he couldn't utter a word.

When they walked all the way to Yaoguang Courtyard in silence, Lin Ji just figured it out.

She can't listen now.

Because he had been "partial" to Wan Ying, she had always refused to open up to him.

"I have arrived."

Seeing her walk into the courtyard without looking back and being taken over by the maid in front of the house, Lin Ji turned around with relief.

Soon.

He has already found out a lot of inside information, and the people who were following him tonight are also lying in ambush near Changrui Pavilion.

When everything comes to light, he can hold the truth in his hands and pour out his heart to her.

Then she will understand herself.

It rained lightly that night.

The next day, Lin Yu sent someone to invite Wan Ying, and Qingdai brought the person smoothly.

Lin Yu had a hunch that Wan Ying also wanted to see him.

"sit."

She sat directly opposite Lin Yu.

Money really can nourish people. In less than a month, Wan Ying's breasts have become much fuller than when she first came. Her dark skin tone has also become brighter, and she looks like a young lady now.

More importantly, she looks very much like Lin Jianchang.

"You went to Yunwu Mountain twice, did you really do it just to ask for a lucky charm?"

After staring at each other in silence, Wan Ying spoke first.
