Su Lingyu sat in the back seat, her almond eyes speechlessly looking at Huo Lang who was sitting in the passenger seat with an excited look on his face: "What are you doing here?"

"Sister-in-law, I'm here to cheer you up!" Huo Lang said fearlessly, "I'm the typical person who supports the right instead of the relatives. If my brother dares to do you wrong, I'll be the first to disagree!"

Su Lingyu: "What about the others?"

Huo Lang said without hesitation: "My parents and my sister, they are just here to watch the fun."

Su Lingyu: “……?”

[Xiao Tongzi, I said I wanted to go to Chenjia Lane to catch an adulterer, but no one explained to me that Huo Yan was innocent and that he was going there to seek medical treatment. What should I do!]

The system is confused: [What should I do? ]

[I can't really use the excuse of catching someone cheating to make a scene. Rumors are terrible. If I make a scene like this, tomorrow the whole military compound, and even the whole capital, will spread the news that Huo Yan cheated on his wife. Do you believe it?]

The system thought for a moment and said in a baby voice: [Isn’t this just right? ]

Su Lingyu: [Just right? ]

[Yes, we are bad guys! Just like what the host did before, we did it again, but we didn't leave a good reputation. Isn't this our goal? The more you ruin Huo Yan's reputation, the more he will hate you. Even if you heal his leg, he will never forgive you! ]

Su Lingyu was speechless.

It seems that this is really the truth...

But she bit her lip and sighed: [I don't care whether he hates me or not. I just think that he is an upright and selfless soldier who has been disabled in his left leg for serving the country and the people. He should not be slandered, let alone such a romantic scandal.]

[Even if we need to treat his leg, the price shouldn't be his reputation. He shouldn't have to bear that.]

Su Lingyu lowered her eyelashes and looked distressed. She didn't notice that Huo Yan beside her was looking at her with an indescribable tenderness, even... restrained love.

"Sister-in-law!" Huo Lang in the front row suddenly spoke up, "I support you very much, but I still have to explain to you that my eldest brother went to Chenjia Lane these few days to seek medical treatment for his leg."

"..." Su Lingyu was a little confused, "W-what, why are you suddenly saying this?"

"Hey! Think about it, my eldest brother is such a serious and old-fashioned person, how could he cheat? He won't! You are so beautiful and so good, he can only fall in love with you, how could he fall in love with someone else? In fact, I was just joking with you... The reason why everyone is in a bad mood today is because the doctor that eldest brother sought treatment from ran away. Everyone is sad for eldest brother. I was thinking of explaining it to you in the car."

"Ran?"

"Yes!"

"..."

Huo Lang talked on and on, and Su Lingyu listened attentively.

One person knows that the other person actually knows it, and one person actually knows it but needs to pretend not to know it. The two pretend to cooperate for a few minutes and finally play a perfect "cooperation".

Neither of them noticed that Huo Yan's ears were red as if they were about to bleed when he looked out the car window. The afterglow of the setting sun fell on his eyebrows and hair, and also on the corners of his lips that he couldn't help but raise.

"So that's how it is." Su Lingyu sighed.

"Yes, that's it!" said Huo Lang.

"Although your eldest brother didn't look for women outside, I still have to go find him for this trouble." Su Lingyu pulled up Jiang Yufeng's banner, "I suddenly remembered that I heard my master talk about Chen Mancang before. He said that he was a good person and would not deliberately play tricks on your eldest brother. Maybe he left a letter or something, but it was taken away by someone and your brother didn't get it."

Huo Lang immediately said, "That must be the case! If that's the case, we definitely can't let the troublemaker go!"

"You have some intelligence."

"Hehe, thank you for the compliment, sister-in-law."

"Yeah." Su Lingyu responded modestly.

Leaning back against the seat, she let out a soft breath.

[I am so tired after talking so much. We are brothers, why does Huo Yan talk so little while Huo Lang talks so much, even more noisy than the frogs jumping around in the fields.]

The system's little voice sounded: [Because they are good people, so they are also frogs even though they are noisy? What about us, host, are we mosquitoes? ]

Su Lingyu: […You know too much, baby.]

Holland: “……?!!!”

Wait, isn't he doing this for his brother?!

Huo Yan couldn't help it, he put his fist to his lips and laughed softly.

"What are you laughing at?" Su Lingyu looked at the man beside her in surprise and waved her hand in front of his eyes. "I wronged you, but you're still laughing. Are you stupid?"

Huo Yan also lowered his eyes and looked at her.

The charming and beautiful woman tilted her head and looked at him, her almond-shaped eyes reflected in the tiny bits of sunset, bright and beautiful.

The warm light of the setting sun shone on her from behind. The narrow carriage and the street scene outside the window became the background at this moment, and she was the most eye-catching person among them.

His heart moved, and his body acted before his brain, and he held her hand.

"Huh?" Su Lingyu was startled and subconsciously wanted to pull her hand back.

However, even though the man's ears were red and he even turned his head away and dared not look at her again, he held her hand tightly and refused to let go, and even went further.

His slender and powerful hands firmly and slowly inserted into her fingers, tightly interlocking theirs, forcefully not allowing her to escape.

Under the warm light of the setting sun, Su Lingyu blinked and suddenly felt something was wrong.

It's not right.
