Don't be tempted, sir

Shen Yining would burst into tears whenever she recalled the brief moment of that night. It was such a peaceful and beautiful time, but the person who cut the candlelight was not her.

After thinking about it for a few days, he decided to compromise and accept the reality. Miss Yaojiu is beautiful and gentle, and she is a perfect match for the second brother. As long as the second brother likes her, Yining will like her too.

"Meng Qiu, has your second brother asked for anything these days?

"never"

"Okay, I saw that Sister Yaojiu didn't have any Liao clothes, so I went out and bought some for her."

"Miss, are you willing to go out? Great! I will prepare it right away."

Shen Yining bought a lot of Beijing snacks on the street, and also bought a few sets of clothes and headgear, and then went to Shen Changqing Garden.

"Is Sister Yaojiu here?"

Chang De heard that it was the Third Miss who came and hurriedly replied, "Yes, yes, she is in the room with the young master."

"Okay." Shen Yining knocked on the open door.

"Is Sister Yao here?"

Shen Changqing was surprised to hear Shen Yining's voice. "Is it Yining?"

Shen Yining's heart skipped a beat when he heard the familiar voice and quickly replied, "Yes, Second Brother, I'm looking for Sister Yao."

Yaojiu heard someone coming out from behind the screen looking for her, "Looking for me? What's the matter?"

"Oh~ I...I bought some Beijing snacks and...a few sets of clothes for my sister."

Afraid of misunderstanding, she hurriedly explained, "Sister Yao's clothes are very beautiful, but I didn't know what Sister needed, so I bought clothes on my own initiative. If you don't like it, I will take it back. The owner of the clothing store said that it can be returned."

"It's okay. Are you afraid of me? Why are you so timid?"

"No, no, it's just that Sister Yao is so pretty that I feel a little..."

"Oh~ Where's the food you brought? Let me try some."

Meng Qiu picked it up and put it on the table.

"Sister Yao, try these, they are snacks from Beijing"

Yao Jiu sat down to eat. The Qiang Kingdom didn't have so many etiquette, so she tasted everything without being polite. Shen Changqing calmed down and came out. Seeing that it was the same thing again, his heartbeat was disordered again.

"Yining, you bought so many delicious foods!"

"Yes! Second brother, try it too and see if it tastes the same as before."

"Okay, second brother, try it."

Yaojiu ate and said, "This, this and these, you can't eat them!"

"Okay!" In order to prevent Yaojiu from worrying about him and taking care of him, Shen Changqing followed the doctor's advice and did not do those things.

Shen Yining watched the two of them chatting and laughing like he and his second brother used to do, and suppressed the bitterness in his eyes.

"Is there any delicious Sister Yao?"

“Well, they are all exquisite and delicious.”

"Sister, do you want to try on the clothes? If they don't fit, I'll change them."

"Okay." Yaojiu took the clothes, Meng Qiu helped her change, and followed her in. At this moment, only Shen Yining and Shen Changqing were left.

The air was somewhat stagnant, and Shen Changqing asked, "Yining, can you blame me?"

Shen Yining suddenly felt a sore nose and endured it, "I...I am...what's not good enough?"

Shen Changqing said in a hoarse voice, "No, it's not that Yining is not good enough, it's me... I think maybe it would be better for us to be brother and sister." Shen Changqing choked up a little when he said the word brother and sister.

"Brother and sister, Changqing... Have you ever liked me? Have you ever liked Yining? Are we really brother and sister? Changqing..." Shen Yining choked with tears in her eyes.

"... Never, we are brother and sister." Shen Changqing had a slight taste of rust in his throat, and he clenched his fists in his sleeves and said:

"I was drunk and talking nonsense that night. Yining, don't take it seriously. I have always treated Yining as my biological sister. The relationship between us is just brother and sister. When Yining meets a good man in the future, she will know what love and family affection are."

Shen Yining's heart was like a ridge. "Never... It was just drunken nonsense... Changqing! Look into my eyes. You said that you came back to marry me and protect me all my life. Was it really just drunkenness? In the past, we watched the moon together, made wishes to the shooting stars, and lived together forever. We watched the newlyweds get married under the bridge. You said we would be like that too! These...are these all nonsense? Changqing...you are lying..."

Shen Changqing raised his head, enduring the pain in his chest that was almost torn apart, his fingers turning white as he watched the person he only wanted to be with for the rest of his life deceive himself and her word by word.

Just like that night in the dream, he stabbed Shen Yining's chest with a sword, looked at Shen Yining with disappointment and said, "We are just siblings. You and I are just siblings. I have no other intentions."

Shen Yining's eyes were red and she couldn't stop crying. She looked at Shen Changqing's calm eyes and her heart was in a knot. She couldn't breathe. "Okay... Second Brother!" Then she stood up and walked out of the door.

Shen Changqing couldn't hold it in any longer, and all the blood that was suppressed in his chest spurted out. His eyes went dark and he looked as if a plum blossom was falling in the wind.

"Young Master!" As soon as Yao Jiu came out, she saw Shen Changqing about to fall and hurriedly supported him.

Meng Qiu followed behind and was shocked when he saw the blood on the ground. He hurriedly shouted, "Doctor, Chang De, go get the doctor!"

Chang De walked in and saw the second son lying in blood. He was so panicked that he dropped his broom.

Yao Jiu said, "No need to call the palace doctor, Chang De, help the young master to lie down on the bed."

Meng Qiu didn't see the young lady for a moment, turned around to look at the fainted Second Young Master, and went out to look for Shen Yining.

Halfway through the journey, I saw the young lady fainted under a camellia tree. She was lying on the ground quietly and lifeless, like a fallen camellia.

"Miss Third, Miss Third... Someone come here! Is there anyone?"

The little maid who was pruning branches in the garden ran out. Meng Qiu saw her and shouted hurriedly, "Go and call the palace doctor quickly, the third young lady has fainted."
