At this moment, Xiao Jinyan has also left the palace.
Xiao Jinyan did not return home.
Instead, he appeared in a temple more than ten miles away.
Sitting opposite Xiao Jinyan was Qing Yin, who was wearing an ordinary linen monk's uniform.
Qingyin made a cup of tea for Xiao Jinyan and pushed it in Xiao Jinyan's direction.
"Although I'm not as good at brewing it myself, I still want to give you some face and have a sip."
Qingyin's voice was very light.
Xiao Jinyan looked at this long-time friend in front of him. Even though he was thinking a lot at this moment, he still reached out his hand, took the teacup, and took a sip.
But it's just such a small sip.
It seemed like he was really just giving Qingyin some face.
Xiao Jinyan put down the tea cup and the tea fell down his throat.
The unique mellow fragrance of tea blooms between your lips and teeth.
But strangely, Xiao Jinyan could only taste bitterness.
The bitter taste lingered in his mouth for a long time, making Xiao Jinyan feel even more depressed.
Xiao Jinyan cast his gaze towards Qingyin, with an indescribable sadness in his eyes.
"Qingyin, do you think I really did something wrong?"
Qingyin looked at Xiao Jinyan and said nothing. He just picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
Xiao Jinyan didn't seem to care whether Qingyin was answering him or not, and continued talking on his own.
"But, I promised Chu Qin that I would properly take over his identity."
"Qingyin, do you think I should continue to live as Chu Qin?"
"If I explain things clearly to her, do you think she will forgive me?"
In the temple, drinking alcohol is naturally not allowed.
Xiao Jinyan picked up the tea cup in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.
It was clear that what he drank was tea, but it gave Xiao Jinyan the illusion of being drunk.
Xiao Jinyan lay on the table, raised his eyes, and looked at Qingyin through his eyelashes.
It's not very clear.
Qingyin's face was hidden among gray and white.
"Qingyin, aren't you the best at spying on other people's fates? Can you help me see if she will forgive me?"
Qingyin put down the tea cup and sighed softly.
"Xiao Jinyan, you shouldn't talk about these things to me now."
"Then what should I do?"
Xiao Jinyan straightened up, a trace of ridicule flashed across his face.
"No matter what, there is no way to save it, right?"
Xiao Jinyan's face was full of self-mockery, and Qingyin sitting opposite couldn't help but sigh.
"Why do you think Miss Xie is angry now?"
Xiao Jinyan frowned and looked at Qing Yin with some confusion.
"Isn't it because I Yizhi hid it from her and I am Chu Qin?"
Qingyin sighed, folded the Buddhist beads in his hand, and looked at Xiao Jinyan with a bit of helplessness in his eyes.
"I am a member of the temple and have not been involved in the secular world. How can I think that you, a secular person, seem to understand the thoughts of those women any less than I do?"
Even Qingyin can't help but doubt.
Could it be that the authorities are obsessed with it?
Looking at this friend who had been raised freely since he was a child and raised according to the direction of Zhenfusi's best knife, Qingyin also knew why Xiao Jinyan was like this, and couldn't help but sigh again.
"Qingyin, what did you see?"
Xiao Jinyan raised his eyes and looked at Qingyin. His deep eyes were full of expectations, hoping that Qingyin could guide him in a direction.
Qingyin sighed and spoke helplessly.
"You should think about why she is really angry."
"You have known each other for so long, can't you detect what she means to you?"
"I know." Xiao Jinyan nodded.
Qingyin couldn't help but frown.
"You know you still treat her like this?"
"She hates it so obviously that I hate it. Can't I really fight for it?"
All Qingyin's words were choked by Xiao Jinyan's reply.
For a moment, Qingyin didn't know what kind of reply he should give.
After a while, Qingyin cleared her throat and spoke again with difficulty.
"You think she hates you?"
Xiao Jinyan nodded, his face full of affirmation.
"Yes, otherwise why would she try so hard to break off the engagement?"
Qingyin felt a little speechless.
Monks should be compassionate, but at this moment, Qingyin suddenly felt a little bored and didn't want to pay attention to Xiao Jinyan.
Qingyin couldn't help but feel startled by this emotion. He thought of something, and the expression on his face suddenly became solemn.
During this time, he seemed to be greatly influenced by that person.
It shouldn't be like this.
He is a monk and does not hide his stain on the worldly world.
Seeing Qingyin's serious expression, Xiao Jinyan felt a little scared and couldn't help but call Qingyin.
"Qingyin? What's wrong?"
Qingyin was brought back to consciousness by Xiao Jinyan's voice.
"It's okay, I just thought of some personal matters."
The expression on Qingyin's face once again returned to its usual indifferent expression without any desire or desire.
Xiao Jinyan raised his eyebrows, feeling a little curious about Qingyin's unusual behavior.
But soon, that curiosity was overshadowed by sadness.
Xiao Jinyan spoke again.
"Don't she hate me?"
Qingyin sighed.
"What I'm talking about is, you use your own identity to talk to Miss Xie. Do you think Xie Youwei hates you as Xiao Jinyan?"
Xiao Jinyan pursed her lips and thought carefully for a while, then gave an answer with some uncertainty.
"It seems...not annoying?"
Xiao Jinyan was a little unsure.
Qingyin sighed.
"Judging from your appearance, Miss Xie probably didn't dislike you before, and was even somewhat close to you, right?"
Xiao Jinyan froze on the spot and began to carefully recall every detail of his interactions with Xie Youwei when he was Xiao Jinyan.
It seems...it is indeed what Qingyin said.
Xiao Jinyan pursed her lips, a look of disbelief flashing on her face.
Could it be that what Qingyin said is true?
Xie Youwei was really close to me before?
It can even be said that... I tend to like it?
This realization made Xiao Jinyan feel a little bit elated and a little unbelievable. His whole body seemed to suddenly fly up to the clouds and lie in the soft clouds, and he didn't know why.
Qingyin looked at Xiao Jinyan's appearance and poured cold water on him mercilessly.
"But it's gone now."
With one sentence, Xiao Jinyan fell from the clouds to the ground in an instant.
Xiao Jinyan opened his eyes, a little dazed.
At first, I just thought that Xie Youwei was disgusted with her, so when she found out that he had cheated on her, she just got angry and didn't want to see her again.
But now I suddenly found out.
Xie Youwei might have liked him once.
It was just because of his own relationship that he pushed Xie Youwei away.
This realization made Xiao Jinyan even more unacceptable.
Xiao Jinyan sat there in a daze.
"So...is this what it's like?"
Qingyin sighed, stood up, walked around Xiao Jinyan, leaned down, and gently patted Xiao Jinyan's shoulder.
"Think carefully about why Miss Xie is angry."
"If you were just an insignificant person, would Miss Xie be so angry?"
Will not.
Xiao Jinyan subconsciously answered in his heart.
If he was an insignificant person, Xie Youwei wouldn't pay much attention to him.
Xie Youwei is not a person who cares very much about what others think.
Except for the people he cares about, Xie Youwei is very indifferent to other people.
Even if that person is someone she hates, Xie Youwei will not have too many emotional fluctuations because of that person.
Just like that day at the Prime Minister's house, Xie Youwei didn't care at all about what the Prime Minister's wife would do next.
yes.
If Xie Youwei really hated her, Xie Youwei shouldn't have reacted at all when he found out that he had concealed his identity from Xie Youwei.
Xiao Jinyan even felt that according to Xie Youwei's character, he might use this as a threat to make him cancel the engagement.
But Xie Youwei didn't.
Xiao Jinyan remembered Xie Youwei's expression at that time.
It's disappointment and anger.
Xie Youwei felt disappointed and angry towards him.
If you don't feel it or you hate it, how can you have such emotions?
Therefore, Xie Youwei really likes him.
Then the reason why Xie Youwei is angry is...
Qingyin left, and Xiao Jinyan was the only one left in the backyard of the temple at this moment.
Xiao Jinyan sat in the backyard, raised his head and looked at the big tree in the temple's backyard.
A gust of wind blew gently.
Although it was late spring and early summer, there were still many leaves on the tree blown off by the gust of wind.
Although he couldn't see the color, the color of this tree appeared in Xiao Jinyan's mind.
Because, this tree had been touched by Xie Youwei.
It was Xie Youwei who brought him color.
Xiao Jinyan's brows furrowed even more, with regret on his face.
Xiao Jinyan vaguely guessed the real reason why Xie Youwei was angry.
This made Xiao Jinyan even more disappointed and a little disappointed in himself.
Why didn't you tell Xie Youwei earlier?
Even if Xie Youwei knew about it, nothing would happen, right?
Xie Youwei on the other side.
After Xie Youwei rested for a day, his mood seemed to have recovered a lot, and he continued to take care of all kinds of general affairs in the house as usual.
But Xicui, who grew up with Xie Youwei, got to know Xie Youwei.
Xicui knew that Xie Youwei had not adjusted his emotions well at all.
Xie Youwei didn't smile at all the whole day. He looked lifeless. Although he looked calm, he was not angry either.
In the past, Xie Youwei always had a gentle smile on his face. When he encountered something interesting, his eyes would often curl up and shine brightly.
I always like to share all kinds of things with her.
But today, Xie Youwei has not shown a smile all day long.
Xicui stood beside Xie Youwei, her face full of worry.
Finally, Xicui couldn't help but speak out.
"Miss, why don't we go for a walk? You've been looking at the account books here for so long. It's time to go out and get some fresh air."
Xicui's words made Xie Youwei put down his account book and raised his head, with a bit of confusion on his face.
"Yeah?"
Has it been a long time?
Xie Youwei doesn't know.
Xie Youwei just felt that she didn't see anything.
The whole night last night, Xie Youwei was still thinking about that matter.
Was she angry about why Xiao Jinyan didn't confess to her?
Yes.
why?
Xie Youwei knew Xiao Jinyan's character, and naturally knew that Xiao Jinyan must have had his own reasons for hiding this matter.
But Xie Youwei couldn't accept it.
Xiao Jinyan used two identities, leaving her alone and confused.
Xie You slightly lowered his eyes.
"Then remove the ledger."
Upon hearing this, a hint of joy flashed across Xicui's face.
"yes!"
Xicui happily took away the account book. She originally thought that Xie Youwei would go out with her to get some fresh air. When she turned around, she saw that her lady had laid paper on the table, took out her pen, and
As if about to start painting.
It looks like he is probably ready to start drawing.
Xicui's eyebrows instantly drooped.
But seeing her young lady completely immersed in her own world, Xicui opened her mouth, but in the end she couldn't say anything, so she closed her mouth in a daze.
However, Xie Youwei, who started drawing the design draft, suddenly discovered.
Today, I can't draw well.
No matter what, I can't draw a satisfactory design draft.
This made Xie Youwei's already irritable mood become even more depressed.
Xie Youwei flicked the brush in his hand and spoke angrily.
"Okay! No more painting! Let's go shopping on the street."
Xicui's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing Xie Youwei's words.
"good!"
Afraid of Xie Youwei's return, Xicui found the things on her face that she had prepared for the street, carefully put a coat and other things on Xie Youwei, and pulled Xie Youwei out of the house.
Xie Youwei wanted to go out and relax.
But after actually walking out, looking at the busy traffic on the street, Xie Youwei felt a little boring again.
Seeing everyone on the street bustling with excitement, Xie Youwei became even more depressed when thinking about herself.
But seeing the joy on Xicui's face, Xie Youwei couldn't bear to give in to Xicui's wishes, so she had no choice but to start shopping without interest.
The street vendors are constantly trying their best to sell the products on their stalls.
"Girl! Look at my candied haws! My mother-in-law poured some sugar on it, and the sugar coating is so thick! It's absolutely delicious!"
"Look at my little sugar figures! My art of painting sugar figures is the best in my country! You will know when you come and take a look, girl!"
"Come and see our lipstick! It's so red! No girl doesn't like it!"
"Silk flowers! Come and see the silk flowers!"
There was a constant stream of shouts.
Standing among them, Xie Youwei had no interest in any of this.
But under Xicui's expectant eyes beside her, Xie Youwei reluctantly cheered up and walked towards the candied haws stall.
Xie You raised his head slightly and looked at the large bunch of candied haws.
The vendor saw Xie Youwei approaching and immediately smiled.
"Girl, would you like a candied haws on a stick?" This chapter has been completed!
