It's just a normal sparring competition, but in the arena of life and death, no third party is allowed to intervene. Anyone who dares to do this will commit a taboo, have his reputation damaged, and be despised by others. But when it comes to Zhao Cheng
At this age, he has looked down upon many things and knows how to choose.
As for the other Lin family members, they all stayed at home and waited for news under Ye Xingyu's persuasion. It was useless for them to go and they could not help. Instead, they made the Yan family feel resentful.
It was almost eight o'clock when she went out after breakfast. Lin Shanya drove herself and spent nearly an hour to Xijing Mountain on the western outskirts of the imperial capital.
Xijingshan is a national forest park with quiet scenery and lush vegetation. Many tourists visit it every day.
Ji Chang chose this location first because he made it clear that he wanted to compete openly and not be afraid of onlookers.
This also proves from the side that he has strong confidence and full grasp. Otherwise, if he loses in front of everyone, where will he put his face?
Of course, if he wins a good battle in public, he will be in the limelight, and the Yan family will also gain face, which is more face-saving than a secretive private contest.
When the car reached the foot of the mountain, we got off the car and climbed the mountain. A drizzle began to fall in the sky, gradually turning from wisps to a steady patter.
Fortunately, Lin Shanya had prepared umbrellas in advance, but there were only two of them. One was given to Zhao Cheng, and the other was held by Ye Xingyu. The two walked side by side, sharing one umbrella.
In Zhao Cheng's view, Lin Shanya and Ye Xingyu are husband and wife, and it is normal to hold an umbrella together.
But for Lin Shanya, she was a little unnatural. She didn't want to be close to Ye Xingyu and always wanted to keep a little distance. This resulted in an umbrella that couldn't cover the two of them. If her shoulders were exposed, they would inevitably be covered by the rain.
Wet.
Ye Xingyu is an ancient warrior, and his physique is much stronger than ordinary people. He will not get sick even if he is exposed to the rain for a whole day, but Lin Shanya is a weak woman. It would not be good if she catches a cold. There are so many things in the company that she needs to deal with, so why?
Can you fall ill?
So Ye Xingyu ignored the contract agreement and stretched out his arm to wrap around Lin Shanya's slender waist, forcefully dragged her to his side, and then handed her the umbrella over so that she would not be touched by the raindrops at all.
Lin Shanya wanted to resist, but Ye Xingyu refused to let go and hugged her tightly, looking like a couple in love.
If she hadn't been worried about Zhao Cheng's presence, Lin Shanya would have gone crazy, but she didn't want to cause trouble at this critical moment. Disturbing the morale of the army before the battle was a taboo for military strategists, so she could only compromise temporarily, passively playing the role of a loving couple, and following Ye Ye
Xingyu took steps together and climbed the stairs.
Lin Shanya's physical fitness was not bad, but it was not much better. After climbing the steps for a while, she felt very tired and wanted to rest. However, there was still a long way to go from the rain viewing platform halfway up the mountain. If she walked for a while,
If you take a break, you won't be able to get to the fight location before ten o'clock.
She gritted her teeth, tried not to say anything, and planned to climb up with all her strength. She must not affect the duel because of herself.
Ye Xingyu noticed Lin Shanya's situation, smiled slightly, and said, "I'll carry you!"
"No! I can walk by myself!" Lin Shanya responded stubbornly. She didn't like to show her weakness in front of others.
Ye Xingyu probably also knew about Lin Shanya's temper, that she liked to show off her strength, refused to admit defeat, and had a tough mouth.
He didn't care whether Lin Shanya could really persist, so he suddenly put the umbrella handle into her hand, and then exerted force with his arm, but without any movement, Lin Shanya was pulled by a force, and she couldn't help it. Her feet left the ground, and her whole delicate body
Suddenly it landed on Ye Xingyu's back, he picked it up and left.
"What are you doing? Put me down!" Lin Shanya blushed and wanted to bite someone in a hurry.
"Stop making trouble! Mr. Zhao is watching! You'd better be more honest!" Ye Xingyu took a big step and had no intention of stopping. He even muttered a few words in a low voice to remind the other party that Zhao Cheng was present.
Zhao Cheng was walking in front, several meters away from the two of them. When he heard the movement behind him, he turned around and took a look, but he just smiled slightly, said nothing, and continued walking up the stone steps.
But it was also because Lin Shanya became honest as soon as Zhao Cheng turned around. She was afraid that Grandpa Zhao would really see some flaws, so she didn't dare to say anything anymore and gave in to Ye Xingyu again.
Ye Xingyu smiled and said, "You are my wife, and it doesn't seem to be against the law for me to carry you on my back, right?"
Lin Shanya snorted coldly and was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Ye Xingyu deliberately added: "I am Zhu Bajie carrying my wife, how thankless it is for me to go through so much trouble?"
Lin Shanya laughed out loud and joked: "Do you admit that you are Zhu Bajie?"
Ye Xingyu chuckled and said, "If I were Zhu Bajie, you would be Mrs. Pig, and you wouldn't be much better!"
With just a few words of laughter, Lin Shanya's resistance faded a lot, and the overall atmosphere vaguely changed.
She was already very tired, but now that she was being carried by Ye Xingyu, she suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. She was no longer breathless, and her feet no longer hurt. She was lying on the other person's broad and strong shoulders, feeling safe and cared for.
A feeling arose in her heart, touching her in a different way.
Marriage doesn't seem so scary; having a man to rely on doesn't seem so bad.
Lin Shanya's perception of Ye Xingyu gradually changed through constant contact day after day. When she came to a realization, she realized that she was firmly tied to him, becoming more and more like a real person.
couple.
If she thinks about it carefully, Lin Shanya will realize that this man is really good to her.
He agreed to the unreasonable marriage request.
Asked for precious prescriptions, and he gave them.
He even saved his own life from a fugitive murderer.
If he is really her husband, it doesn't seem to be a bad thing. It seems acceptable to live together like this for the rest of their lives.
…
Just as Lin Shanya was thinking wildly, Ye Xingyu followed Zhao Cheng quickly and quickly arrived at the meeting place, the rain viewing platform halfway up the mountain.
The time was nine forty-five, which was a quarter of an hour earlier than the agreed ten o'clock.
In fact, it was not too early to arrive, because Ji Changxian was already waiting there.
In addition to him, there were many people, all holding umbrellas and waiting quietly. I guess they were not tourists passing by, but spectators who came after hearing the news.
The most conspicuous person was Yan Shaoze. Even though he was wearing a hat with the brim lowered and the collar raised to cover his swollen face, Ye Xingyu still saw him at a glance.
Because he has the most hostility, the strongest murderous intent, and the strongest anger, the mental fluctuations he emits are also the strongest and most targeted, all directed at Ye Xingyu.
Ye Xingyu ignored Yan Shaoze's emotions, smiled at him, and greeted him as if nothing had happened: "Good morning, Mr. Yan!"
