Lin Xiuyan's slender fingers gently stroked the bow body, and her curved fingers flicked the bow strings. Then she took the hairpin from her head and pounded it on the bow body, and finally began to tune the strings.
As soon as she started to tune the strings, she seemed to be a different person. She no longer laughed and laughed like before. She was serious and focused, and her movements were neat and graceful, as picturesque as a poem.
Ye Junfei held his head with one hand and looked at her, his eyes deep and complicated.
After Lin Xiuyan finished, she handed the bow to Ye Junfei again: "Young Master Ye, try it again."
Ye Junfei glanced at her suspiciously, and she smiled slightly and made a gesture of invitation.
He took the bow and stretched out his hand to flick the bowstring. His expression changed slightly. He stood up and pulled the bowstring. The feeling was completely different from before.
He looked at her with some surprise: "The current range of this bow can reach 150 steps. How did you do it?"
Lin Xiuyan smiled slightly: "Genius will understand."
Ye Junfei: "..."
She was scared to death when he approached her, but she was confident and bold when negotiating terms with him.
And the ability she just showed in front of him really surprised him.
His peach blossom eyes were slightly raised, he looked at her with a half-smile and said, "How do you want to cooperate with me?"
Lin Xiuyan replied: "It's very simple. I will teach your people how to make a crossbow that can fire continuously, and also how to change the range of the bow and arrow. You will protect the lives of my whole family."
Ye Junfei's slender fingers gently touched the bow in his hand, and then looked at the crossbow with deep peach blossom eyes.
Although he was interested in what she said, it didn't move him. But if he promised her, it would make her feel at ease, so what's the harm in coaxing her?
He said lazily: "Deal."
Lin Xiuyan breathed a sigh of relief, moved closer to him, and asked him mysteriously: "Are you interested in those iron blocks?"
Ye Junfei saw that her eyes were sparkling, and she was obviously holding back something bad.
He then asked: "What if you are interested? What if you are not interested?"
Lin Xiuyan blinked and said, "If you're interested, let's empty out the iron blocks inside together. If you're not interested, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Ye Junfei asked her: "What do you want those iron blocks for?"
Lin Xiuyan smiled and said: "Young Master Ye's words are a bit knowing."
"I am good at making various weapons, and making weapons requires iron."
"The sale of iron is now banned in Chongqing, so I want some iron."
Ye Junfei didn't think this was her real purpose and said directly: "Speak humanly."
Lin Xiuyan curled her lips slightly and said, "Zhou Chenyang has set his sights on the Lin Mansion. The Lin Mansion needs to be able to protect itself."
"So I want to make a batch of weapons to protect my family."
Ye Junfei was not surprised to hear her statement and asked her: "Lin Xiuyan, what does family mean to you?"
Lin Xiuyan said without hesitation: "It's my life."
Ye Junfei was a little surprised when he heard this answer: "Your life?"
Lin Xiuyan nodded: "Yes."
Ye Junfei has never felt the warmth of family affection, and he has never known anyone to fight for his loved ones.
He asked quietly: "Besides your family, will you fight for others?"
"Probably not." Lin Xiuyan said with a smile: "After all, others are referring to irrelevant people."
Ye Junfei's eyes narrowed slightly and he asked: "Have you never thought that one day you would meet the person you could spend the rest of your life with, and then you would do something for him?"
Lin Xiuyan laughed: "The person you spend your life with? Do you mean a man like Zhou Chenyang?"
After she finished speaking, she didn't wait for Ye Junfei to answer, and continued: "Emotional matters are as mysterious as they are mysterious."
"In my opinion, men are not only less reliable than my parents, they are also not as reliable as money."
"To be honest, I have never thought about getting married in my life, so there is a high probability that I will not be tempted by a man."
When she said this, she saw Ye Junfei's deep peach blossom eyes, and then continued: "If Mr. Ye is interested in my body, I can give it to you at any time."
"But it is impossible for me to love a man so much that I can give my heart to him."
His abnormality tonight frightened her.
Although she is not so narcissistic that she thinks Ye Junfei will like her, she needs to make these things clear when discussing cooperation.
Cooperation is cooperation, love is love.
She distinguished clearly.
There was a bit of interest in Ye Junfei's eyes: "You don't think I like you, do you?"
Lin Xiuyan hurriedly said: "Of course not, I know this very well..."
"I allow you to think about this." Ye Junfei interrupted her.
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
She didn't dare, thank you!
Falling in love with him will most likely be worse than falling in love with Zhou Chenyang.
Cherish life and stay away from Yejunfei.
If you can't stay away from Ye Junfei, then worship him as a god or Buddha in your heart and worship him without any emotion involved.
Ye Junfei didn't bother with her on this matter and just said: "I'm tired and want to rest."
Lin Xiuyan hurriedly took out the mattress and quilt and made a bed on the floor. She pointed at the bed and said, "You sleep on the bed tonight, and I'll make a bed on the floor."
Ye Junfei snorted coldly, drew out his sword and slashed the quilt and mattress to pieces.
Lin Xiuyan: "!!!!!"
Why is he so crazy?
Ye Junfei threw the sword to the ground, opened his hands and looked at her.
She looked at him with a confused face, and he said angrily: "Change."
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
Is he starting to play off the old man again?
She thought that they had just finished discussing cooperation and that he was someone she could not offend, so she accepted her fate and came over to change his clothes.
She had done this before, and she was familiar with it. She calmly unbuttoned his shirt and took off his robe.
Ye Junfei looked at her familiar movements, and he once again confirmed that she was very familiar with him, so familiar that she knew his dressing style.
The hidden buttons of his robe are fastened in a very special place, and no one in the entire Chongqing City has ever used them.
And he had never worn this robe in front of her.
He confirmed again that she not only knew him, but also understood him very well, as if the two had lived together for a long time.
But she had never left Yucheng, and he had only been in Yucheng for more than a month. He was very sure that he had never seen her before.
He really wanted to ask her why she knew him so well? But he knew that asking would be in vain because she wouldn't tell him.
When the two of them lay on the bed together, Lin Xiuyan asked: "Have we reached a basic agreement on cooperation?"
Ye Junfei said softly, and Lin Xiuyan rolled her eyes: "So you will protect my family in the future?"
Ye Junfei turned to look at her: "Speak directly if you want to say anything. Beating around the bush is very annoying."
Lin Xiuyan smiled at him: "It's nothing, I just want to confirm this matter with you to facilitate my subsequent arrangements."
Ye Junfei had a bad feeling in his heart: "What are your plans?"
