Xiang Lincheng walked back with a cold face and said nothing. Jin Chan followed him cautiously. It wasn't until she reached the door of Xiang Lincheng's house that she gently called Xiang Lincheng's name.
"Lincheng." Jin Chan pulled Xiang Lincheng's sleeve.
Xiang Lincheng still looked bad, feeling lonely and regretful. Jin Chan knew that he could no longer pretend as if nothing had happened, so he asked, "Lincheng, do you regret letting me live in your house?"
"Why are you with Ji Yu?" Xiang Lincheng ignored her question and directly asked the doubts in his heart.
"I was just delivering medicine to the prince's palace normally." Jin Chan said innocently: "There were a few medicinal materials that were in short supply. The Sixth Prince didn't want me to sell them to other customers, so he invited me to live in the prince's palace, so I could only concentrate on serving them.
The palace provides medicine."
Xiang Lincheng asked: "What about Ji Yu?!"
Jin Chan shook his head and said: "I don't know, she is also living in the palace these days. When I asked her, she refused to tell me what happened..."
Xiang Lincheng clenched his fists and strode towards the mansion.
He had heard about the confrontation between the Eastern Camp and the Zhenyu Kingdom. The Zhenyu Kingdom had captured four people, and when Xiang Lincheng knew that one of the four people was Guan Jiyu, he was not uneasy.
It's just that Xiang Lincheng was far away in the Yanjiang Corridor in the north at that time, and there was nothing he could do no matter how anxious he was! Fortunately, the prisoner camp of Zhenyu Kingdom had been captured, and Guan Jiyu was also safely rescued.
This time Xiang Lincheng returned to the capital because he had to go to the palace to meet Emperor Shu about the Yanjiang Corridor, but he didn't expect that Guan Jiyu was already in the capital.
Not only did she come to the capital, she also found out about his taking in Jin Chan...
Xiang Lincheng's heart felt like it was scratched by a cat's claws. Guan Jiyu's cold expression made him feel heartbroken. Even though he had thousands of words in his heart that he wanted to express, after seeing Guan Jiyu's cold expression, he could only get stuck in his throat.
Can't say a word.
Xiang Lincheng felt restless. He sat in the study and took out a pen and paper. What Xiang Juan told him was the top priority. Just dealing with Emperor Shu was not a simple matter. What he had to do when he returned to Beijing this time.
There are many more.
But as soon as he picked up the pen, Guan Jiyu's face appeared in front of his eyes involuntarily.
The pen he held in his hand could no longer write smoothly. Xiang Ju'an crumpled the paper into a ball in frustration. Jin Chan walked in with tea. Seeing him so upset, he said: "Lincheng, why are you so upset?
?』
Xiang Lincheng leaned weakly on the back of his chair and said for a long time: "Now that you live alone, it is inevitable that it will be inconvenient. I know it is not easy for you, so you can choose any place in the capital. As long as you like it, I can do it."
Purchased for you."
Jin Chan put down the teapot and silently poured tea for Xiang Lincheng.
Xiang Lincheng looked at her and confirmed, "Is that okay?"
Jin Chan said calmly: "You are so eager to drive me away..."
"Not chasing you!" Xiang Lincheng said angrily: "How could I chase you away? Chan'er, you and I have known each other for many years. If it weren't for special circumstances and we happened to encounter such a thing, how could I say such a thing?"
Xiang Lincheng sighed heavily and said, "Didn't we make it clear earlier? Chan'er, the two of us are destined to be fruitless. Now I have made many promises to Ji Yu. I'm waiting for her.
When everything goes well, then give her the status she deserves..."
"Name?" Jin Chan's eyes were red. She read these two words carefully and said, "I'm waiting for a name...I have always thought that it was me and the Liu family that were holding us back.
Regarding our marriage, Liu Jian and I are just a couple in name only! Others don’t know that you know it!”
After Jin Chan finished speaking, she burst into tears. She trembled and vented her emotions to Xiang Lincheng sadly and desperately, "I finally waited until now. I have worked so hard to get rid of the Liu family. I
I thought we could start over..."
Xiang Lincheng frowned and fell into deep silence.
Jin Chan said sadly: "Lincheng, speak up! Are you saying, am I really wrong? Are our feelings when we were young and the time we spent together at Mo Yun Academy all fake?"
"It's not fake." Xiang Lincheng closed his eyes
, said softly: "Chan'er, you and I met when we were young. During those days in the academy, I admitted that everything was true. But fate plays tricks on people, and now, nothing can go back."
Jin Chan chuckled softly and said: "Why can't you go back? Can't you just stop the wrong things in time? My father is gone, and the wrong marriage between me and Liu Jian has also ended. Now I have nowhere to go and no
The only relative I can seek refuge with is you, Lincheng."
"Cicada, that's all I've said, please think about it again."
Xiang Lincheng stood up, tidied up the mess on the table, and went out.
Jin Chan looked at Xiang Lincheng's retreating figure, and finally couldn't hold on anymore and fell to the ground.
"I've been waiting for so long, I've been looking forward to it for so long..."
Jin Chan shook her shoulders, her tears were like broken beads. She wiped the tears on her face with her sleeves and said angrily: "Guan Jiyu, why did you come to the capital? Why did you come... all my efforts
, do you know that everything was ruined by you?"
Guan Jiyu changed her clothes and was about to go to the secret room to practice, but Yue Xin stopped her: "Girl, there is a person standing at the door. It seems that he has been standing for a long time. He said he is here to see you."
"Looking for me?" Guan Jiyu asked doubtfully: "What are you looking for for me? What kind of person am I?"
Yue Xin said: "He is a young master. He is very handsome and has an extraordinary bearing. Several girls heard about it and went to the door to see him."
These girls work in the palace all day long and it is too boring. It is rare to see an outstanding-looking young man, and it is inevitable that they will not be moved by love.
Guan Jiyu had already guessed who Yue Xin was talking about, and she said coldly: "Go tell him and let him go back."
"But that young master has really been waiting for a long time." Yue Xin said somewhat unbearably, "Are you really not going to take a look?"
Guan Jiyu said: "Yue Xin, now I am working for the prince in the palace. Every day, just practicing takes up almost all my energy. Anyway, I don't want to see anyone who is irrelevant. Go and tell him.
He left."
Yue Xin nodded, and had no choice but to follow Guan Jiyu's wishes, and went out to persuade the people outside the house in a good voice. However, the person waiting seemed to be as determined as iron. He just said: "I won't leave until she comes out."
Guan Jiyu finished the day's practice and walked out of the secret room exhausted. It was already dark outside. She walked back to the room in the moonlight. Yue Xin had already prepared hot water for bathing. Guan Jiyu was about to take off her coat. Yue Xin
Then he reminded: "Girl, that young master hasn't left yet."
"Oh." Guan Jiyu picked up the comb and combed his hair, "Since I can't persuade him, then he can stand outside if he wants."
She walked into the tub as if nothing had happened and took a bath seriously. After Yue Xin helped change her clothes, Guan Jiyu lay down directly on the bed.
"It's very late, I went to bed."
When Yue Xin was feeling bad, she tried to persuade Guan Jiyu again, so she said "Hey" in agreement, blew out the light, closed the door, and left.qo
In the dead of night, with Guan Jiyu's eyes open, she knew he was waiting for her outside, and she knew what he would say without going out.
Guan Jiyu suddenly thought of the time she and Xiang Lincheng enjoyed the snow in the back mountain a long time ago when she was in Beizhong.
At that time, there was an unspeakable look between his brows.
Now Guan Jiyu finally understands that his shallow sorrow, those ties that cannot be expressed to outsiders, in the end turned into only two words: golden cicada.
Guan Jiyu reached out and touched her heart, but it was not as painful as she imagined.
She thought it would be painful.
Just as she thought, she would not let Xiang Lincheng stand outside alone.
Those once beautiful times are gone forever, and the joy and excitement when they first met have long since passed away with her repeated disappointments.
Guan Jiyu thought for a while and suddenly sat up from the bed. She put on some clothes and went out. The servant who was keeping watch at night was dozing off. She looked around and went out from the door. As expected, Xiang Lincheng was still waiting outside the door.
With.
He was leaning against the wall listlessly. When he saw Guan Jiyu coming out, his eyes had a glimmer of light.
Xiang Lincheng immediately stood up straight,
Seeing her thin clothes, he said, "Why don't you wear more clothes? It's cold outside."
Guan Jiyu looked at him calmly and said, "Why are you still standing here? Are you waiting for me?"
Xiang Lincheng nodded vigorously and said: "Jiyu, I was waiting for you. I didn't expect to see you in such a situation today... I knew I owed you an explanation, so I came.
I hope you can give me a chance and listen to me explain to you..."
"Explain what?" Guan Jiyu's expression was still as cold as ice. She looked at him without the shyness and cowardice before, and said directly: "Second Master Xiang, let's keep this short and take this opportunity to make everything clear.
Bar."
It was the first time Xiang Lincheng saw her look like this, and he couldn't help being shocked and said: "Ji Yu..."
Guan Jiyu suddenly smiled lightly and said, "Second Master Xiang, do you know that I used to be very pleased with you?"
Xiang Lincheng felt something in his throat and said, "I know."
Guan Jiyu nodded and said: "I walked a long way from Nanqinjiang Mansion to Beizhong." She paused and said: "At that time, I experienced the biggest shock in my life. I was confused.
When I arrived at the Beizhong General Mansion Concentration Camp, the first person I spoke to there was you."
Xiang Lincheng stepped forward, held Guan Jiyu's cold hand tightly with his generous palm, and said, "I haven't forgotten it either. I will never forget the scene when I first met you."
"At that time, I was just a disciple of aristocratic families waiting for the test, and I was still worried about whether I could pass the selection." Guan Jiyu thought of every detail of the past, with infinite tenderness in his eyes, "But you are different. Among all the disciples of our aristocratic families,
There is almost no one who doesn’t know that you, Xiang Lincheng, are an existence like light."
Guan Jiyu lowered her head and looked at the hand he was holding hers in, and said, "I admire you, and I have to take care of you with all your heart, as well as the snowstorm in the mountains behind." She said in despair, "Second Master Xiang,
After all, I once admired you."
Xiang Lincheng grabbed her shoulders excitedly and said, "Jiyu, I also admire you. Your feelings will not be in vain. We will have a future! I will go and tell my brother and ask him to host you and me."
marriage!"
Guan Jiyu shook his head gently and said, "Xiang Lincheng, listen carefully, this is the last time I will tell you this matter."
Her eyes returned to the coldness they had when she first arrived, and she said, "But now, I no longer have such feelings for you."
Xiang Lincheng froze on the spot, her words turned into sharp arrows.
Thousands of arrows pierce the heart.
"Xiang Lincheng, this is not just out of anger. I am serious. I no longer have any love for you."
