When Shen Qingxu raised her head, she saw the handsome man in front of her who was serious and focused. She was very confused. Her sister had said that she should be wary of anyone who approached her for no reason. Why did Gongsun Jiayan approach her so closely?

But when he thought about how Gongsun Jiayan risked his life to block the knife for him that day, he felt it was not good to suspect others of having impure motives.

Shen Qingxu's cheeks were flushed by the light, and in Gongsun Jiayan's eyes, this look became a shy scene of Shen Qingxu as a little girl.

Shen Qingxu saw that Gongsun Jiayan's eyes became deeper, as if he wanted to suck her in.

She was nervous and subconsciously pulled at her sleeves, then lowered her head to look at the colorful lanterns under the bridge...

How should she respond to Gongsun Jiayan's next words?

"Princess, since we parted last time, I never thought that I have developed different feelings for you, Princess. We are not classmates, nor are we good friends."

"Master Gongsun, do you mean that we are friends for life?" Shen Qingxu thought Gongsun Jiayan was going to say something, but she didn't expect it to be this. Could it be that Gongsun Jiayan wanted to become sworn brothers with her just like Mu Yunzhou did?

But this... Gongsun Jiayan was suddenly choked by these words. This princess is really...

Yes, how could a girl who could ask how many legs a grasshopper had understand his such implicit words?

Gongsun Jiayan laughed, his heart full of regret for not being understood, but he remained calm and said, "It's just that I am attracted to Her Highness the Princess."

"you......"

"If Her Highness the Princess doesn't mind what I did, perhaps she could try to accept me. I will try to become the ideal person Her Highness the Princess has in mind." Gongsun Jiayan stared at Shen Qingxu with his dark eyes. Shen Qingxu was caught off guard by these words.

Does this mean I have to accept him right after he confesses his feelings?

Did she agree?

At this moment, two voices were clamoring in Shen Qingxu's heart.

One is don't believe him. He approaches you with ulterior motives. You are good for nothing. You can't write poetry or songs. You are definitely incapable of doing the beautiful things of a red-sleeved lady. You are not his ideal partner, so why does he fall in love with you? Think carefully. You two are not suitable for each other.

Another voice, try to accept him. Such an outstanding person has expressed his feelings to you and protected you at the risk of his own life when you were in danger. Why do you still think that he has bad intentions?

"If the princess has no intention, please forgive my rudeness." Seeing that Shen Qingxu did not answer, Gongsun Jiayan held the peach blossom lantern in one hand and put the other hand behind his back. He looked gentle and polite, and his expectant eyes reflected the light, which was very beautiful!

"I..." Shen Qingxu whispered, not knowing what to say. Seeing Gongsun Jiayan holding the peach blossom lantern with an expectant look, she took the peach blossom lantern from Gongsun Jiayan's hand with trembling hands, and then Shen Qingxu looked at her hands with a puzzled look.

What is she doing? What is she doing?

Ahhhh? What did she do?

She wanted to return the lamp, but Gongsun Jiayan put her hands into her sleeves. What should she say to refuse?

When Gongsun Jiayan saw Shen Qingxu taking the peach blossom lantern, he could not hide the joy in his eyes.

"Thank you for your kindness, my lady. I will be loyal to you and protect you forever. I will never let you suffer any injustice!"

Shen Qingxu said nervously, cursing herself a hundred times in her heart, beauty can mislead people, Gongsun Jiayan, according to her aesthetic standards, is completely her ideal type, but she agreed to it so abruptly, and she always felt something was wrong.

It would be hard to regret having agreed to something. If she dragged Gongsun Jiayan along, it would be unfair of her. Since she had accepted the offer, it would be better to make things clear.

Shen Qingxu said solemnly: "I already know what Gongsun Gongzi feels. He is handsome and talented, and he is my ideal image at the moment. However, I am not yet of marriage age, so my elder sister will decide on my marriage. However, since I have accepted the Peach Blossom Lantern from Gongzi Gongzi today, I will tell my elder sister the truth. I hope Gongsun Gongzi will keep his word and not let anyone down..."

When Gongsun Jiayan heard Shen Qingxu's words, a happy smile appeared on his face. He looked at Shen Qingxu's embarrassed expression and his face was full of excitement.

Shen Qingxu saw Gongsun Jiayan standing so close to her, and the fragrance of books wafted from his body. Gongsun Jiayan looked at her with a smile, which made Shen Qingxu's face even redder.

This handsome man is paired with a lovely girl. Anyone passing by would praise them for their perfect match!

As soon as Xu Xingyi and Mu Yunzhou stepped onto the bridge, they saw the scene in front of them.

Mu Yunzhou opened his mouth in shock. In just a short while, Xu Xingyi's girlfriend was poached?

This speed is too fast!

Xu Xingyi didn't expect that when he was away for a while today, the corner of the wall would be dug up by Gongsun Jiayan, that bastard!

He stared with bloodshot eyes at two people standing not far ahead and clenched his fists.

The rage in his heart rushed straight to his head. Sadness, anger, and unwillingness swept over Xu Xingyi's mind. He now had only one thought, and that was to kill Gongsun Jiayan!

Xu Xingyi's eyes were red and murderous!

Shen Qingxu is his! No one can take her away!

A crazy idea popped up in his mind. If Shen Qingxu left with someone else, then he would kill everyone who wanted to take Shen Qingxu away!

From then on, he locked Shen Qingxu up so that she could only see him day and night!

Mu Yunzhou had never seen Xu Xingyi like this before. This crazy and furious look was a little scary!

Mu Yunzhou grabbed his shoulders and said, "Don't get excited. Maybe they are just friends. Maybe it's not what we think..."

Mu Yunzhou himself didn't believe what he said, let alone Xu Xingyi!

Xu Xingyi shook off Mu Yunzhou's hand, drew the sword from his waist and rushed forward!

Mu Yunzhou hugged Xu Xingyi's waist and tried to stop him!

But Xu Xingyi now has only one thought in his mind, and that is to get Shen Qingxu back!

Seeing that he couldn't get rid of Mu Yunzhou, this burden, Xu Xingyi let him hang on him!

Gongsun Jiayan was happily discussing the lanterns under the bridge with Shen Qingxu when he suddenly felt a chill behind him and involuntarily tightened his collar.

The next moment, he felt the world spinning, then he flew up, and then he fell into the river amid the exclamations of everyone. Gongsun Jiayan was stunned. Was he thrown away directly?

Mu Yunzhou looked at Gongsun Jiayan who was thrown out by Xu Xingyi, and couldn't help but feel sympathy and thought that this kid was too unlucky. He was almost thrown into the boat, but he didn't expect to hit the small bamboo raft at the stern of the boat where the lanterns were placed. The small bamboo raft couldn't bear Gongsun Jiayan's weight and could only soak in the water. Gongsun Jiayan, dressed in white, was in a very embarrassed state in the water, and instinctively pulled at the rope tied to the bamboo raft at the stern.

He was so frightened by the scene that he even forgot to call for help, and was then brought back to consciousness by the shouts of his men.

Gongsun Jiayan looked at the Lover's Bridge which was getting farther and farther away and slapped the water hard.

"My good deed was ruined..."

Shen Qingxu's hand froze in mid-air, and she withdrew it angrily only after Gongsun Jiayan disappeared.

Then she turned to look at Xu Xingyi, wondering why he was here.

Thinking about Gongsun Jiayan's safety, I couldn't help but feel worried!

"Xu Xingyi, why are you here?" Shen Qingxu looked worriedly at the direction where Gongsun Jiayan disappeared. She wanted to go over, but Xu Xingyi grabbed her wrist and she couldn't move.

"Why! Did he express his feelings to you, and did you agree to it?" Xu Xingyi seemed to force every word out from his teeth.

How he wished Shen Qingxu would tell him now, no, no, no!

"..."

"Go ahead!" Xu Xingyi held Shen Qingxu's hand.

"This... I..." Shen Qingxu felt the pain on her wrist, so she shook off Xu Xingyi's hand, hugged her arm, and said angrily, "Humph, what does it have to do with you?"

"You, you, good job, you said it's none of my business, good job, you even accepted the broken lantern!"

"You..." The lamp in Shen Qingxu's hand was snatched away by Xu Xingyi and thrown into the river.

When Shen Qingxu saw this scene, her face turned red.

"Xu Xingyi, you bastard, that's mine."

"That broken lamp, I'll make you a hundred of them!"

"I don't want to..."

"Come back with me now."

"I'm not going back. I'm going to find Gongsun Jiayan!"

"Xu Xingyi, don't be impulsive. Listen to me!"

"That Gongsun Jiayan has been thrown into the river by you..." Mu Yunzhou quickly got off Xu Xingyi and planned to persuade Xu Xingyi again!

But Xu Xingyi seemed to have a serious illness and pointed the sword at him, as if he would stab him to death if he said another word!

"Damn it, why are you pointing a sword at me? Go stab Gongsun Jiayan instead."

"I won't let him go later."

"You, you two have something to say, please talk it over nicely."

Xu Xingyi ignored Mu Yunzhou. When he thought that Shen Qingxu had accepted something from another man, he became furious. He then grabbed Shen Qingxu's wrist and took Shen Qingxu away. After Xu Xingyi pulled her to a secluded corner not far away, he pushed her against the wall.

"Why, why did you choose him? Can't our relationship of many years be compared to these few short months?" Xu Xingyi didn't understand, his red eyes were full of hurt.

"How long have you known her?"

"Why do you like him?"

"Have you never seen a good-looking man?"

"How am I inferior to him?"

"Don't you really know how I feel about you?"

"You really have no feelings for me?"

It was the first time that Shen Qingxu saw Xu Xingyi like this. She was frightened and subconsciously struggled out of Xu Xingyi's arms. She even forgot that she was very strong and could easily hurt Xu Xingyi.

With a "crack" sound, Xu Xingyi's arm was accidentally broken by Shen Qingxu.

Shen Qingxu looked at Xu Xingyi's hand in shock, and suddenly felt guilty. She tried to touch Xu Xingyi carefully, but he dodged her.

"I...I didn't mean it..." Shen Qingxu knew that it was useless for her to say anything now. She looked at Xu Xingyi's hurt eyes and didn't know how to defend herself.

"You actually hit me for that man?"

No matter how painful the wound on his hand was, it was far less painful than the pain in Xu Xingyi's heart!

"Listen to my explanation. I didn't mean it..."

"you you you......"

"Shen Qingxu, you are such a heartless person. I gave you all my stuttering since you were little. I always let you run away because I got beaten. I followed you from Liangcheng to Beijing for you, and I was beaten and scolded by your crazy sister every day. Now you are turning your back on me for a pretty boy and a broken lamp, and you even hit me..."

Xu Xingyi felt more and more aggrieved as she spoke, and tears began to flow involuntarily.

He didn't know why things had turned out like this. He and Shen Qingxu had grown up together, so why would Shen Qingxu choose someone else and abandon him?

Why can't Shen Qingxu see him?

Why is Shen Qingxu so carefree in front of him and doesn't act like a little girl?

Why?

Mu Yunzhou stood not far from Xu Xingyi. He expressed deep sympathy for Xu Xingyi's experience. There was nothing he could do but ask people to stop Gongsun Jiayan's people from causing trouble for Xu Xingyi, and also to stop Gongsun Jiayan, who was soaking wet and pretending to be pitiful and wanted to approach Shen Qingxu again.

"Since this is your choice, don't blame me. You forced me to do this!" Xu Xingyi seemed to have made up his mind.

Before Shen Qingxu could react, he gritted his teeth and directly reconnected his arm.

Then he struck Shen Qingxu on the back of her neck with his palm and picked up the unconscious Shen Qingxu.

"Qingxu, I will take you to a place where there is no one. There will be only the two of us. We will still depend on each other like before. You will only have me by your side, and I will only have you by my side!"

No one wants to show up anymore. They would rather beg for food than have anyone disturb their peaceful lives.

"Oh my god! Brother, you didn't tell me this would happen!!!" Looking at Xu Xingyi's back as he quickly left with Shen Qingxu in his arms, Mu Yunzhou was completely dumbfounded!

That person is Shen Qingxu, Shen Qiuchi’s favorite sister!

Good boy, you are really going to kill yourself! How dare you kidnap someone?!

Now Mu Yunzhou no longer cared about Gongsun Jiayan and immediately chased after him!

If Xu Xingyi runs away today, the next time we meet, he will be beheaded!

As an accomplice, he will definitely be beaten to death!

Gongsun Jiayan was only a scholar. He could not catch up with the two men who knew martial arts. He could only stand there with a gloomy face, helpless and furious!

It was almost successful! Damn it, it was screwed!

Damn Xu Xingyi!

Damn Mu Yunzhou!

"Xu Xingyi, don't do anything stupid! If you kidnap people like this, the Queen will not let you go!" Mu Yunzhou chased and shouted from behind. The two of them chased each other on the road like two Tiggers!

"I advise you to mind your own business! I must take Qingxu away today! Qingxu belongs to me alone!" Xu Xingyi couldn't hear anything now.

Anyone who stands in his way is his enemy!

Shen Qiuchi?

Who the hell is Shen Qiuchi!

If that old witch Shen Qiuchi hadn't sent someone to bring Shen Qingxu to the capital, he and Shen Qingxu would still be those two carefree little beggars!

Shen Qingxu would not have experienced so much pain, and now she is still deceived and accepting the feelings of another hypocritical man!

The culprit behind all this is Shen Qiuchi!

Shen Qiuchi is indeed not a good person!

He had raised Shen Qingxu with great difficulty, and she had always listened to him in everything before, but after coming to this damn place, she actually learned to go against him!

Mu Yunzhou couldn't outrun Xu Xingyi after all, and he was soon left behind.

He looked at Xu Xingyi's disappearing back and could only sigh helplessly, then turned around to help deal with the people chasing him.

Brother, I can only help you up to this point!

Thinking of Shen Qiuchi's brutal behavior, his father who was in prison, and his grief-stricken grandmother and mother...

Why is Mu Yunzhou's life so miserable?
