Chapter 221 Are You Teaching Me to Play Hard to Get?
Ye Qingtang nuzzled against his chest, "Don't be afraid! Mother said that when you are alive, you should enjoy life while you can and not worry too much. To Yuzhou, you are just a passer-by. If I don't seize the moment, I will have no choice but to pound the wall after you are gone."
Xulin laughed softly.
"But you don't know anything about my identity or family background..."
"Those are all empty talk. I'm only attracted by your appearance. I don't care about anything else! As long as it's pleasing to the eye, that's all!"
Xu Lin let her go, lowered his head and said to her, "No matter how much you like someone, don't show it too obviously in front of him. For men, things that are too easy to get are not worth cherishing..."
Ye Qingtang looked up, looking at his clear outline, and suddenly laughed, "Are you teaching me to play hard to get with you?"
Xu Lin chuckled, "Yes, a puzzle would be meaningless if it was too easy to solve..."
Ye Qingtang smiled slyly. It turned out that the young man who looked serious on the surface could also have such a bad side...
She slowly loosened her hands around his waist, and took one step, two steps, three steps, slowly backing away from him.
The two of them kept looking at each other until she retreated to the door, "See you tomorrow! My young man..."
In the dim light, Xulin watched the lively face disappear behind the door, and the excitement in his heart slowly calmed down.
Fellow brothers often said that he always looked pure and indifferent, and that he might become a monk in the future.
Now, he wanted to tell his fellow monks loudly that he could no longer be a monk because he had met someone who could turn his calm heart into a turbulent storm in an instant...
Ye Qingtang was so excited that she skipped all the way back to her yard. As soon as she stepped into the yard, she found her brother waiting for her at the door, looking like he was ready to accuse her.
"Where have you been?"
Ye Qingtang did not hide it, "I went to see my sweetheart!"
Ye Qingyan slapped him with a slap, "You are a girl, and you ran into a man's room in the middle of the night. You don't care about your reputation! You have only known him for less than a day! Do you know whether he is a good person or a bad person?"
Ye Qingtang touched his head which was hurt by the blow and said in a muffled voice, "Why are you so fierce? You are allowed to chase girls all over the street and scare them to tears, but I am not allowed to chase a man! I didn't scare anyone to tears!"
Ye Qingyan was speechless for a moment, "You, you have grown wings! You have your own ideas! I can't control you anymore, right? We already have no father, and you still want to piss off your mother to death?"
"Mom agreed!"
Ye Qingyan's rage was suddenly extinguished by this sentence, "What did you say?"
"Mother said that when we are alive, we should enjoy life while it lasts. If two people are interested in each other but are hesitant due to etiquette, face, or other reasons, it would be a lifelong regret if they missed each other... She said that in her life, she only met one interesting person like Dad, and later she couldn't find a replacement, which was very hard..."
Ye Qingyan was almost fooled by her, "Then you can't run into a man's room in the middle of the night! How will people see you!"
"I turned on the light to watch it! But the light is too dim, I can't see it clearly...tsk tsk..."
"I--" Ye Qingyan raised his hand and was about to hit her on the head, but Ye Qingtang dodged it accurately, turned around, opened the door, and flexibly got in. Before closing the door, she did not forget to provoke, "Brother, don't just focus on teaching me a lesson. You're leaving your sister-in-law alone in the empty room. Be careful that she kicks you off the bed! Lululu..."
Then, before Ye Qingyan rushed over, she slammed the door shut, locked the bolt, climbed onto the bed triumphantly, and rolled around on the bed with the quilt in her arms, sometimes laughing, sometimes shy...
Ye Qingyan withdrew his hand angrily, shook his head and smiled.
As a brother, there was no reason for him to stop his sister from falling in love with someone. However, he had to find out more about the man's character and family background. He couldn't let his sister be kidnapped without knowing what was going on.
Xu Lin couldn't sleep either. When there was a knock on the door, he was just about to open the door and go out to get some cool air to calm his restless heart.
When he opened the door and saw that it was Ye Qingyan, he could probably guess in his mind what he came for, so he accepted the other party's scrutiny openly.
Until he nodded in satisfaction, then raised his hand, and the two wine jars in his hand collided with each other, making a muffled sound, "Will you drink with me?"
Xulin was thinking the same thing and nodded immediately.
Ye Qingyan is only twenty-one this year, not much older than Xulin, but he seems more stable.
As the Marquis of Zhennan, he has to hold up the banner of the Ye family army.
When his grandfather and father died in the war, he and his sister were still young. With the determination to fight to the death, his mother took him and his sister and traveled thousands of miles from Kyoto to Yuzhou.
It was not until he came of age and inherited the title that his mother gradually relieved herself of the burden on her shoulders.
But no one could help her share the pain of losing her husband. She devoted herself to guarding the land for which her husband sacrificed his life, carefully educating her two children, and has remained a widow ever since.
My mother is a reserved person and never shows her true emotions to others easily.
But he knew that when his father was alive, his mother was also a gentle and affectionate woman who would act like a spoiled child and cry for comfort if her hand was slightly scratched.
However, the person who could make her act like a spoiled child and treat her like a little girl has left her forever...
It was a chilly winter day, so Ye Qingyan took Xulin to the warm room. There was a fire in the room, and tea was being boiled. Smoke was rising from the spout of the teapot. The water in the pot was boiling, and the lid was fluttering loudly due to the bubbling hot steam.
Two people sat around the stove, one of them holding a jar of wine and drinking it sip by sip.
After three rounds of drinks, I was not drunk at all and was very sober.
Ye Qingyan raised his eyebrows, "I didn't expect you to be so good at drinking. It seems that the idea of getting you drunk and then getting the truth out of you is difficult to achieve..."
Xu Lin put down the wine and laughed softly, "My Lord, you don't have to get me drunk. You ask and I answer. If I answer, I will tell the truth."
"I can see that you are a person of true character, and you disdain those false pretenses." Ye Qingyan's expression became a little lazy, and he adjusted his sitting posture. "You have also seen my sister's temper. What do you think in your heart?"
Xu Lin raised his eyes and said seriously, "I like the princess very much."
"But you two only met for the first time today, and you will be leaving for Beijing soon. How long can your love last?"
"I'm sorry I can't give you an easy answer to this question. After all, life is very long, and I don't know how old I can live to..."
Hearing this, Ye Qingyan was stunned for a moment.
It took a long time for him to realize what he meant. He raised the wine jar and clinked it with his, not dwelling on the issue any further.
Instead, he asked about his identity.
