In the early morning, Guan Jiyu woke up when he heard the noise outside. Perhaps because of the medicine he had taken, he broke out in a cold sweat during the night. When he woke up, he felt that his whole body was cold.
Fortunately, I no longer feel the heaviness in my head, I don't feel dizzy or tired, and I feel better.
Guan Jiyu put on her coat and walked out of the room, only to find that thick snow had fallen outside the house. There were people standing around the notice board not far away. She stepped on the snow and walked over, only to hear someone say: "It will take five more days."
Only then can we conduct the final assessment."
Another disciple said: "Oh my god, we still have to wait five days. I don't think there are many people left. Let's finish the competition quickly. It will help people decide whether to go or stay."
"Shh, stop talking." Someone winked, and the disciples who were watching the bulletin board quickly dispersed, leaving only Guan Jiyu.
Xiang Lincheng's voice came from behind: "It's so cold outside, what are you doing standing here? Why don't you rest in the house?"
Guan Jiyu turned around and saw Xiang Lincheng standing a few steps away with his hands behind his back. He was wearing a black cloak and a silver crown on his dark hair, showing his heroic spirit.
"You have to read what the notice says. How can I know these important notices if I am always hiding in the room? What if the notice above allows me to pack my bags and go back directly?" After that, she turned around again.
Go ahead and read what's on the notice.
There was a crunching sound of snow behind her, and Xiang Lincheng's voice was already in her ears.
He said: "If there are any important instructions, I will tell you naturally." After saying that, he reached out and took off his cloak.
Guan Jiyu is still thinking about what he means by "I will tell you naturally". The people who come to participate in the selection are also children or disciples of aristocratic families. There is no need for him to give her such special treatment, right? For a person like him who is superior
, why did you personally convey the instructions to her?
Just as she was thinking about it, the cloak had already fallen on her body, and the ties at the neck had not yet been tied. Seeing his eyes staring at the two belts, Guan Jiyu's face felt hot, and he quickly reached out to tie it.
"Don't move." He lowered his head and slowly tied the lace up. While tying it, his fingers inadvertently touched the fair skin of her neck. Guan Jiyu held his breath and did not dare to breathe out until he could no longer hold it in.
He had to take a breath before he could let go.
"Thank you, Mr. Xiang." She thanked her in a low voice, then gently took a small step back, widening the distance between them.
Xiang Lincheng looked towards the school grounds in the distance and said warmly: "You're welcome, you are the most qualified student here. You were ill and missed the test before, and it will be the last one soon. You must take good care of yourself these days.
Recuperate. I said, I'm looking forward to your performance."
His words calmed her worries. She passed out before the showdown with He Lanlan ended that day. She was still worried about how Xiang Lincheng would handle this matter.
Speaking of assessments, Guan Jiyu thought of Jiang Yingnian and Zheshu who were still in confinement.
She couldn't help looking up at him and asked: "But Jiang Yingnian and Zhe Shu from Qingzi Camp were imprisoned by you two days ago for fighting with the disciples who were selected at the same time. I dare to ask the second young master, how are you going to punish them?"
Woolen cloth?"
Xiang Lincheng didn't answer. He withdrew his gaze and focused it on her.
He said: "How do you want me to handle this matter? It is not just the Qingzi camp that is involved in the fight, there are other camps as well. How do you think I should handle it?"
Guan Jiyu bit her lip, lowered her head and said, "I know that they acted recklessly in this matter, and I don't dare to speculate on the second young master's thoughts." She hesitated for a moment, then mustered up her courage and said, "But I still have something to do with it.
beg."
Xiang Lincheng said: "But it doesn't matter."
Guan Jiyu looked directly into his eyes and said: "Zheshu and I are brothers who have been training in Qingzi Camp for many years. I have always been clear about his desire to enter Beizhongxiang Military Camp. We, the people of Qingzi Camp, have grown up since we were young.
There is only one goal, which is to advance into the Xiang Military Camp and fight the enemy. If possible, I ask the Second Young Master to treat him lightly, no matter what, I just ask you not to disqualify him from participating in the selection."
"What you said surprised me." Xiang Lincheng raised his eyebrows and said, "What about Jiang Yingnian? He is the third son of your Jiang family. I thought you wanted to plead for him first."
A trace of sadness flashed across her face, but she quickly returned to normal and said: "You must have heard a little bit about our eldest son in the Jiang Mansion. The eldest son is gone. I really don't want Jiang Yingnian to follow us to the border. He
If it’s not this material, there’s really no need to take the risk.”
Xiang Lincheng said: "But his grades are pretty good."
"So what!" Guan Jiyu was a little anxious and her voice was slightly louder. She said urgently: "He just needs to stay in Nanqin and live peacefully and smoothly for the rest of his life!"
Guan Jiyu took a step forward and said with a pleading look on his face: "If you are willing to help me, please cancel his qualification for selection and let him go back."
There was embarrassment in his expression, and he simply said: "But I didn't originally intend to disqualify anyone from the selection. If I disqualify just him as you requested, I'm afraid it will arouse doubts and dissatisfaction."
Guan Jiyu knew that this request might be too much, so what obligation did he have to help her?
The trees nearby were rustling, and the wind blew snow falling.
Xiang Lincheng thought for a while and said: "As usual, the last game is a two-by-two duel. Only seven people will be left. There are many experts on the field. He has never participated in any competition. Do you think he has a lot of hope to stay?"
?"
Guan Jiyu didn't know how to answer this question.
Thinking of Jiang Yingnian's appearance in her mind, she only knew that he usually wandered around without a trace, but when he actually got here, no one knew who would be left behind in the end.
Xiang Lincheng said: "If he is lucky and encounters an opponent who is not as good as him, it means that God is helping him. If he is unlucky and encounters an opponent who is stronger than him, then no one can blame him."
"Let's see God's will, Miss Guan."
Guan Jiyu's solemn expression relaxed slightly. He thought that Xiang Lincheng's words were very pertinent. Instead of using abnormal means to interfere with Jiang Yingnian's stay, it would be better to see God's will.
Xiang Lincheng looked at her twisted little face and said with a smile: "Okay, I'm struggling with these things again. The most important thing for you right now is to take good care of your body. Some things can't be solved by just thinking about it every day. Outside
It’s so cold, go back.”
The two of them walked slowly in the snow. The pines and cypresses in the courtyard were covered with thick snow, causing their branches to droop slightly.
As she was walking, a piece of snow fell from a tree and hit Guan Jiyu on the head. The hit was not heavy, but it shocked her so much that she softly said "Yeah".
Xiang Lincheng saw the snow on her black hair, so he stopped and calmly stretched out his hand to gently brush away the fallen snow from her hair.
"Huh?" Guan Jiyu was slightly surprised. The white snow-black hair made her face look like a peach blossom. She whispered: "I will do it myself." After saying that, she reached out and patted the snow on her head.
Xiang Lincheng said: "There are more here."
He pointed at the hair hanging down in front of her shoulders. Guan Jiyu lowered his head and saw that there was indeed residual snow foam.
She was really too embarrassed to continue arranging her hair under his gaze, his gaze made her uncomfortable.
Guan Jiyu said: "My residence is just two steps ahead. Thank you Second Young Master for your clothes." As he said this, he took off the cloak he was wearing.
Xiang Lincheng raised his hand to stop him and said, "You are not in a hurry now. It will not be too late to pay me back when you have time."
Guan Jiyu wanted to refuse again, but a voice sounded not far away.
"Second Master Xiang has to take care of the assessment matters in the past few days. Don't let the cold wind affect the subsequent assessments."
Jiang Yingnian, wearing a white fox fur, approached step by step.
"Ayu, I asked you to bring more thick clothes when you went out, why didn't you listen?" He walked up to Guan Jiyu, picked up the cloak in her hand and put it into Xiang Lincheng's hand, and then took it off himself.
His fox fur was draped over her body.
Guan Jiyu trembled and looked at Jiang Yingnian beside him in disbelief.
Are you kidding? He called her "Ayu"?
Is this the same Jiang Yingnian who usually calls her by name "Guan Jiyu Guan Jiyu" without any courtesy?
She asked doubtfully: "Did you take the wrong medicine?"
Jiang Yingnian didn't look at her, but stared at Xiang Lincheng and continued talking to himself: "It's really disturbing. You ran out wearing such thin clothes, and people who don't know thought that we, Nanqinjiang Mansion, treat
How bad are my disciples?"
As he spoke, he turned his head and stretched out his hand to tighten her collar.
This action shocked Guan Jiyu again.
Because Xiang Lincheng was in front of her, she couldn't directly curse Jiang Yingnian for being sick. She forced out a smile and said, "It's nothing. Third Young Master has always been considerate of us subordinates."
Guan Jiyu cooperated with him very much and continued: "When we came here, we were given cakes in the carriage. Third Young Master is usually like this, without any pretensions. He asked us to be his subordinates. I am really grateful."
Jiang Yingnian didn't expect that she would say such words, and his expression froze. Faced with her connotation, he answered very naturally: "It should, it should. My eldest brother has passed away, so I naturally have to treat his subordinates well."
No matter what, the people in Qingzi Camp are all members of my Nanqinjiang family. If I don’t treat you well, who will I treat well?”
His eyes were always directed towards Xiang Lincheng, and he even leaned towards Guan Jiyu as he spoke, saying: "After all, we are a family after all."
Xiang Lincheng smiled faintly and said, "Young Master Jiang is really considerate of his subordinates. This style of conduct really makes Xiang admire him."
Guan Jiyu moved his steps to distance himself from Jiang Yingnian. He didn't give up and leaned towards her again!
"I still want to thank Second Young Master Xiang for taking such good care of our Ayu." Jiang Yingnian raised her chin, stared at the cloak in Xiang Lincheng's hand, and said, "It's freezing cold, how noble is Second Young Master? You
You can even give our family Ayu clothes, and I would say your conduct style is even more admirable."
Our Ayu Guan Jiyu felt that Jiang Yingnian was full of nonsense and could not listen to a single word.
It seems that he really took the wrong medicine today.
Xiang Lincheng looked at Guan Jiyu and said, "If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
Guan Jiyu bowed his head and said: "Second Young Master, walk slowly."
Jiang Yingnian lazily fisted his fists and said perfunctorily: "Go slowly, Mr. Xiang."
After Xiang Lincheng walked away, Guan Jiyu pulled Jiang Yingnian into the house. Jiang Yingnian was pulled in and tossed by her, and he staggered a few steps before he stood still.
"Hey Jiang Yingnian, why are you talking nonsense and showing off your authority?" Guan Jiyu frowned and said, "Can you stop interfering in my affairs? Don't you sound hypocritical in what you say?"
Jiang Yingnian straightened out her wrinkled sleeves, crossed his arms and sneered at her.
"What? Did it disturb you and Mr. Xiang from enjoying the snow?"
