Chen Rong lay awkwardly. She had almost no experience of sleeping with others since she could remember. She thought she would not be able to sleep at night, but listening to Xu Yiru's long breathing, she fell asleep not long after she closed her eyes.

In her dream, she dreamed of the first time she saw her, her hand stretched out. The scene of Xu Yiru being under the marriage tree that day.

"Arong, I like you."

Xu Yiru stood in front of her and smiled at her, tiptoed to kiss the corner of her lips...

The rain outside the window drizzled all night, and it had stopped in the early morning, and there were even birds singing.

When Chen Rong woke up, he blushed with shame when he thought of the dream he had. He was simply crazy...

She subconsciously stretched her arms, but she didn't lift her hands up. She looked over and saw Xu Yiru sleeping soundly on her arm. She was almost nestled in her arms.

Xu Yiru seemed to notice the light, rubbed her head a little, and shrank her body against Chen Rong.

Chen Rong pursed her lips and felt her heart soft. She simply lay on her side. She pinched Xu Yiru's fair cheeks with her empty hands, and smiled at her quiet and well-behaved appearance.

It's so cute... She thought, and she didn't rush to get up.

Xu Yiru's eyelashes are long, her facial features are delicate, her willow eyebrows are gentle, and her lips are pink. Chen Rong couldn't take his eyes away, and she drew her fingertips on her lips, and then she turned to her guilty hand.

Isn’t it too strange for her, a woman to pay so much attention to Xu Yiru’s beauty?

If Xu Yiru knew about her random thoughts, she would probably have to alienate herself? Chen Rong sighed. Maybe she had been single for too long.

"QuQuQu"

A knock on the door sounded.

When Chen Rong heard someone coming, he quickly lay back and looked at the hibiscus flower and silver thread embroidered tent as if nothing had happened.

Calm, calm, and elegant...

Liu'er's voice came, "Miss, are you awake? The county magistrate's wife is waiting for you outside."

Xu Yiru's brows moved, opened her eyes a little tired, supported herself to get up, and teased her black hair behind her, with a white neck, "I understand, tell her that I'm not available."

"yes."

Xu Yiru met Chen Rong's clear eyes, bent the corners of her mouth, and her eyes softened a lot, "Since you are awake, get up and have breakfast."

Chen Rong's face was a little hot. After a few huh, he lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and ran out wearing his shoes. He was shocked by the cold wind outside the door, and then calmed down.

She covered her face, not understanding what she was guilty of. It seemed that she was so thin-skinned!

The trees under the eaves have sprouted tender green buds, and this chilling spring breeze blows a continuous gentle rain and a new year.

"What are you doing in such a hurry?" Xu Yiru followed her with her cloak in her arms, put the cloak on her behind Chen Rong, turned to her, tied the straps, and smoothed the folds on her clothes. "It's cold outside, and it's just beginning of spring, and it's easy to catch a cold."

Chen Rong looked down at Xu Yiru's hair, and listened to her words and felt warm in her heart.

She pinched Xu Yiru's hand on her lapel and hesitated for a moment, "I ran out alone yesterday. I didn't tell my parents, and I'll go back later."

Xu Yiru bit her lower lip, lowered her head and covered her reluctance on her face, "I originally wanted to celebrate your birthday."

"Then let's go ahead." Chen Rong let go of Xu Yiru's hand, but Xu Yiru held her hand tightly again, lowered her head and met her eyes, "What's wrong?"

"You have never been to Yu Nan, I will take you out for a walk today."

Fuyang City, riverside.

"Report to the young master, no trace of the lady was found." The guards half-kneeled on the ground, with shame on their faces. After searching for a day, they almost turned Fuyang City upside down, but there was still no trace of Chen Rong.

It's like it disappeared out of thin air...

Chen Wenshu frowned and his face was a little heavy: "Don't alarm my parents in advance, so as not to worry them."

A girl in yellow clothes ran over not far away, looking worried: "Have you found her?"

"not yet……"

Qiao Tongzi patted Chen Wenshu's arm and comforted him: "Don't worry, you can't disappear out of thin air. Arong has an independent and calm personality, so there will be no problem... I will find it for you."

Although she said that, her heart was also restless. Otherwise, she would not have run over quickly when the servants of the Chen family asked her for Chen Rong's traces.

"Thank you." Chen Wen thanked politely, turned his eyes to look at the surging river. Although his eyebrows were calm, he could still see anxiety and worry.

His eyes suddenly froze: "There are people in the water, hurry up and save them!"

Seeing Chen Wenshu running to the river eagerly, Qiao Tongzi hurriedly followed her, her heart was about to beating. It wouldn't be that coincidental, right? Chen Rong is her best friend, so there must be no accident...

The one who rescued was a 15 or 16-year-old girl with extraordinary appearance and a purple dress, but she didn't look old. She was embarrassed but still showed her nobleness.

"It's not her." Qiao Tongzi breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Wenshu looked at the girl's face, and her expression changed a little. Why is this person so familiar...

"Take it back to the Chen family and take good care of it." Chen Wenshu glanced away. It was not too late to worry about these things at this time, so the safety of his sister is more important.

But the girl suddenly coughed violently, opened her beautiful eyes, saw Chen Wenshu's back, raised her hand and grabbed the hem of his clothes, and said weakly: "Brother Wenshu...is it you?" She breathed hard, "I am Ying... Yang Xue... Do you still remember... Kyoto, Lantern Festival..."

Chen Wenshu's back froze and his face changed drastically, "It's you."

Qiao Tongzi saw Chen Wenshu's demeanor lose all his demeanor, picked up the girl, hurriedly ran to the side of the carriage, and drove away in person.

She pulled her cloak and wrapped it tighter, and the wind by the river was a little cold.

"Miss……"

"It's okay." Qiao Tongzi felt that the master Chen Rong mentioned was really a crow-mouthed, and it was a little bad. "Go and pull a carriage again. I'll wait here, just quietly."

Love is a ray of light, and green people are panicked.

Chen Rong sat in the teahouse and thought, what the storyteller said was passionate and tragic.

"That peerless concubine actually fell in love with the female general. They are all female ladies. It is really an inappropriate thing in the world. The beautiful water demon face, and the emperor issued an order to let the general kill her with his own hands..."

"But before the general took action, the concubine committed suicide. A few days later, the female general disappeared..."

"If the general really hates her, I think that it is more because the emperor's destiny is in heaven and cannot achieve both..."

"Arong, what do you think?" Xu Yiru booked the entire teahouse, so the second floor was quiet only the servants of the Xu family and the two of them.

Chen Rong put down the teacup. Although the story was so sad, she did not think she would be as cowardly as the female general. She spoke solemnly, "If it were the person I like, even if I fight with the sky and the earth and sacrifice my life, I will protect her."

However, the concubine is already the emperor, and it is really wrong to think about others day and night.

In this world, the emperor is the most unlucky person. Is it good? The ending will definitely be a tragedy.

Xu Yiru turned her head to look at Chen Rong's side face, her heart moved slightly, but her tone reminded without any turbulence, "They are all women, and such feelings... are inethical."

"So what?" Chen Rong murmured in a low voice, "There is no right or wrong in such things as feelings."

Chen Rong felt that he should be a typical example of standing and talking without any pain in his back.

She never complained about her parents' relationship, nor could she say that their relationship was wrong.

However, she never thought that she would fall in love with anyone, and sighed in her heart. The monodog who had lived for so many years had already seen through the world.

"If you can be liked by you, it will definitely be a very happy thing." Xu Yiru looked at Chen Rong deeply, pursed her lips and smiled.

Chen Rong saw her laughing, and unconsciously laughed, "You should be happier if you can be liked by you."

She suddenly remembered in her mind that she heard Xu Yiru like her in her dream. She moved her gaze away with a little embarrassedly and looked at the storyteller again, but her attention was all on the people around her.

What kind of person will Xu Yiru fall in love with in the future? He must cherish her. Chen Rong tightened the teacup, otherwise she would definitely make the big pig's hooves pay the price!

Chen Rong noticed the subtle emotions in his heart. What was going on with this inexplicable heart frustration...

The storyteller stepped down and went to the backstage to see Liu'er waiting there, "I wonder if Miss Xu is satisfied?"

Liu'er handed the wallet to the storyteller, "It should be..."

She couldn't understand so many books, why did Xu Yiru click on this book that no one cares about. After pondering for a moment, it was probably even more touching to have abusive love?

Xu Yiru wiped her hands with a handkerchief, stood up and followed Chen Rong to the teahouse. She was walking to the gate of the first floor, but someone blocked her way.

"Miss Xu, it's really hard to see you." The slightly fat woman in gorgeous clothes spoke sarcastically.

Xu Yiru's face was slightly dark, and she looked at Chen Rong in front of her, with a trace of concern flashing in her eyes, and she pursed her lips and smiled, "Madam, you are the wife of the county magistrate, you are not something that the grass-roots can climb."

"Why are you pretending to be innocent?" The county magistrate's wife was so angry when she thought that her man was almost facing prison. "The people don't fight with the officials. Since you are not willing to make things easy, don't blame me for being rude!"

Xu Yiru used the person who wanted to replace the position of county magistrate and sowed the relationship between county magistrate and superiors. Even if the county magistrate could sit safely in this position, he might not be able to sit safely.

She was meticulous and cunning, and she didn't leave any flaws.

This lady is also capable of finding herself.

Xu Yiru's eyes were slightly red, "Madam, why bother to make things difficult for me anymore? I finally returned to the Xu family, without power, how dare I provoke the government? I know you have a good relationship with my aunt, but my aunt insists on occupying the Xu family and has been punished. Why should you take my anger out of me..."

The county magistrate's wife narrowed her eyes and stared at Xu Yiru alertly. She had a very tough attitude before, so where did she make trouble with this nonsense?

When Chen Rong heard Xu Yiru's words, he thought of her life experience and his eyes became much colder. "What a good citizen will not fight with officials." She sneered, with a cold face, "Yu Nancheng County Magistrate, right? Very good, I'm curious, how powerful a mere county magistrate is."

The county magistrate's wife saw a nail, but another stubborn girl appeared, feeling ashamed and angry, "Hmph, then wait and see!"

After saying that, she shook her sleeves and left.

Xu Yiru lowered her head, with a faint smile on her lips.

——If it is someone I like, even if I fight with the sky and the earth, I will sacrifice my life, I will protect her.

She silently recited this sentence in her heart. In this life, even if she can't be Arong's sweetheart, she will be her only person in front of her.
