When she looked over with surprised eyes, Chang Zhe's face was filled with luster, and the afterglow of the setting sun fell behind him, creating a halo around him.
He seemed really happy to do such a thing.
Chu Yan lowered his eyes and smiled, with a bit of bitterness in his smile.
Whenever this happened, she would always think of his eyes when she was abandoned.
She always has to wonder, is this man really the same person when he is good now and when he was bad back then?
Chu Yan returned to the room, sat in front of the window sill and continued reading.
Changzhe was busy working on his desk in the yard.
He used fine rosewood, and after a while, the wood turned into long boards in his hands.
After the aunt made dinner, the three of them sat around the table to eat together.
"Do you think it's appropriate to start building this house on the west side?"
The aunt spoke first.
Chang Zhe and Chu Yan were both stunned.
The two looked at each other, and Chu Yan immediately lowered her eyes. Her long eyelashes blocked her eyes so that no one could see the emotions inside.
"I still have some money left here. After all, I occupied Chang Zhe's room, so I should pay some money."
She said in a low voice.
In fact, it is also an expression of one's own attitude.
The aunt asked this simply because she hoped not to build a house at all.
She finally figured out that her son loved Chu Yan, and if they could be together, this would be an opportunity.
Of course, even though they bought Chu Yan with their money, she would still do the proper etiquette. No matter how bad Chu Yan's parents were, they would still make a trip.
But before he could think of anything to say, Chu Yan just said this, pretending not to understand the deep meaning of the aunt's words.
Chang Zhe also immediately understood what she was thinking.
"When the weather gets warmer in a few days, I will go find someone."
He answered.
The aunt saw that neither of them meant anything, so she didn't say anything more.
She only glanced at Chu Yan, with deep thought flashing in her eyes.
After dinner, the two of them were busy sewing in the main room.
Chang Zhe continued to work on his desk in the yard by moonlight and lamplight.
Chu Yan felt someone tug on his sleeve.
She looked over, and in the dim light, the aunt motioned for her to look towards the yard.
Chu Yan looked over.
Chang Zhe was nailing wooden boards. He was very fast, his movements were steady, and he was very proficient in what he was seeing.
In my ears, the aunt's voice came, "I have never seen Zhe'er care so much about anything. Yan Yan, what do you think?"
Chu Yan was stunned for a moment. For the first time, the aunt noticed that her cold face was a little more alienated and strange.
But in just a moment, she returned to normal.
Chu Yan turned his head to look at his aunt and smiled shyly, "I have only known him for a few days, and many things have not been finalized yet."
After finishing speaking, she said quietly, "I heard that Chang Zhe was seriously injured when he came back. I don't know if he is all right now."
She changed the subject.
The aunt's heart skipped a beat, but she quickly hid the strangeness.
"Yeah, he was covered in injuries. I didn't know what to do at the time. He should be much better now. Look at him, he looks like he has endless energy."
Chu Yan smiled, lowered her head and continued sewing without answering.
After a while, the aunt said again, "This kid Zhe'er has been on the battlefield for so many years, and when he came back he had forgotten everything before. He is also a miserable man."
Chu Yan hummed softly.
"Yeah, I don't know who he met before or what kind of life he had. Maybe there is a confidante waiting for him to go back to find her."
She said half-jokingly.
The movements of his hands paused for a moment, and soon he continued working as if nothing had happened.
"That's impossible! How can there be women in the military camp?"
The aunt exclaimed in surprise.
"What?"
Chang Zhe, who was outside, suddenly raised his eyes and looked over. There were stains of sweat on his face, and his bright eyes made people feel refreshed when they looked directly over.
Chu Yan smiled and said softly, "It's nothing, I'm complimenting you."
Chang Zhe was stunned for a moment, then he naturally smiled and said nothing more, continuing with the work at hand.
The aunt glanced at Chu Yan and stopped talking.
She finally understood that Chu Yan looked soft and soft, but she had her own opinions on many things, and she probably couldn't express her opinion.
Chu Yan looked back at Auntie, "Auntie, do you think my stitches are right?"
She leaned closer and her voice was soft and soft. The aunt couldn't say anything anymore and hurriedly followed her to discuss the stitches.
At night, I waited until Changzhe and Auntie were asleep.
Chu Yan was not sleepy at all on the bed.
She put on some clothes and sat on the bed, looking at the bright moonlight on the window. She suddenly felt that it would be difficult to live in Changzhe's house for half a year.
Now she doesn't want to make herself uncomfortable at all, let alone be wronged.
Chu Yan had some thoughts of leaving.
However, if you want to go to the capital on your own ability, even if you go, you may not be able to meet the people from Prince Jin's Mansion.
Not to mention that the journey would be extremely dangerous, and she did not dare to take the risk.
A sigh came, quietly echoing in the room, and then quickly dissipated.
"Knock knock knock!"
There was a sound outside the window, and Chu Yan walked over.
She opened the window and revealed Chang Zhe's face.
"you……"
"I just passed by here and heard the sound, so I thought you might not be sleeping either."
He explained, using the moonlight to hide the discomfort on his face.
Chu Yan smiled, "Well, I'm just about to sleep."
Chang Zhe smiled and said, "What did my mother say today that put you under pressure?"
The aunt didn't mention this matter to Chu Yan alone, she told Chang Zhe first.
Thinking that Chang Zhe had now reached the age of getting married and having children, and seeing that Chu Yan was an excellent girl, she was afraid that he would miss her, so she became a little anxious.
Chang Zhe saw something wrong with Chu Yan's face at night and guessed that her mother might have said something to her.
Now that I saw her up so late, I became even more convinced about it.
Chu Yan was just stunned for a moment and did not speak.
Chang Zhe was stared at by her watery eyes, but he said very frankly, "My mother is too anxious about this matter, don't take it to heart, just live here with peace of mind."
"If you mind, I will declare to the public that you are my sister in the future. As for the future, we will talk about it later."
Chu Yan smiled and said, "I just think that you probably don't understand your own feelings well enough now, so it's better not to do something that you will regret, so as to avoid being in trouble in the future."
She told the truth.
It's also sincere.
Although she hated Chang Zhe for abandoning her in her previous life, she had to admit that she was also taking advantage of Chang Zhe's enthusiasm and slight affection for her in this life.
She said this so freely that Chang Zhe sounded as if Chu Yan knew about his past and predicted that he would regret it.
