thief, don't run

An Lingxue's house was facing the street, and she asked Rong Rong for good news. It was approaching evening, and the heat in the afternoon finally dissipated, but she was still sleepy and unable to cheer up. She opened the window, let in a gust of wind, and turned the window Bamboo curtains are lowered to block excess sunlight and shade a patch of shadow.

Only then did I feel refreshed.

Chu Yan pushed the door open and entered, An Lingxue knew that she had something to say, so she was not in a hurry, got up and went to the side to get the hot water from the stove.Previously, Rong Rong was drinking tea while cracking melon seeds, the teapot on the table had already bottomed out, and it was time to boil a new pot.

Signaling Chu Yan to sit down, she nodded, and went to the window, half opened the bamboo curtain, seemingly relaxed, but the words she spoke were loud.

"Axue, you like Zhongliyun, right?"

Hearing this, An Lingxue's hands trembled, the kettle was unsteady, and the water was spilled slightly, a drop of hot water splashed on the back of her hand, causing her to shrink back.After simply wiping her body, An Lingxue didn't reply, she just made hot tea and returned to the table with the teapot in her hand.

After a few steps, she thought a lot.

In the past few days, she could tell that Ah Yan had something on his mind, and he hesitated to speak to her, but she didn't want to see through her feelings. However, with the foreshadowing of the previous appearance, although she was surprised, it was not impossible accept.

Chu Yan grew up with her, they are close and familiar, so if even Rongrong can be seen, then Chu Yan should be more clear.

However, she wasn't going to hide it either.The matter between her and Zhong Liyun must be known to them sooner or later. Although An Lingxue can ignore the eyes of the world, she wants to get their understanding.She had planned to tell them slowly.

After she sat down, Chu Yan said again: "Axue, it is impossible for you to be with a woman."

The faint words flowed into her ears with the wind outside the window. An Lingxue thought she would be angry, but she didn't. She was very calm and still poured a cup of tea for Chu Yan.

The teacup was delivered to her, Chu Yan looked at her and asked, "You, don't you want to say something?"

An Lingxue smiled slightly, "What are you talking about? Do you think I will deny my feelings, or will I be furious?"

Chu Yan bit her lip, feeling a little distressed. She really didn't expect this kind of reaction from Axue, so she just told her the pros and cons that she had thought about in advance, "Axue, you should know that you are an official and he is a thief. And she is not ready to stop. Besides, your father will never agree, and your brother, he has always hoped that you will find a good family. "

An Lingxue turned her head away, "People's thoughts will always change."

You should try everything. If you can't accept it for a while, it doesn't mean you can't accept it for a lifetime. One day, father and brother will figure it out.

"No, their thoughts will not change, absolutely not!" Chu Yan shook his head firmly, not waiting for An Lingxue to refute, and said, "Do you know how your mother died?"

An Lingxue stuck a word in her throat, moved her tongue, and asked, "Mother?"

Anling Rudong, her mother went there when she was a child. To An Lingxue, she didn't even leave any impression. He heard from his brother that her mother had an accident when she went to the street and died in an out-of-control horse. Immediately, I was very unlucky, but I had nowhere to reason, and there was nothing I could do.

Why did Chu Yan mention this?Is there any hidden secret in this matter?

"I also inadvertently learned that your mother died to protect my mother." Chu Yan's tone dropped, as if it was hard to say, "When your mother was still alive, she and my mother...were the closest sisters .”

The words have come to this point, everyone must understand.Chu Yan was silent. They shouldn't gossip about things between the elders behind their backs. She also inadvertently found her mother's notes while tidying up at home. The past events recorded on them were all about An Ling. Ru Dong, even if it is her biological daughter, she only got a few words.

They are cousins ​​who grew up together. They once held hands to see spring peaches and autumn chrysanthemums, and experienced the scorching heat and cold winter together. When they went to the street, they always bought half of the candied haws, and the paper kites held the same thread after school.

And a few years later, they each got married and had their own children.

The two people who were supposed to be estranged with each other, got together again because of Chu Xia's determination and separation.

Nothing has changed, they still go to the streets together, and go out in the spring together, only this time, they buy candied haws for their children and watch them release paper kites.I also had to rush home to wash and cook.

[That's fine. ] Chu Xia wrote in his notes.

Chu Yan, who was still young at the time, could barely recognize eight or nine words in the notes, but he didn't know one or two of them.Even now, she doesn't understand very well, but some things are gradually becoming more meaningful.

For example, why her mother dotes on An Lingfeng and An Lingxue brothers and sisters so much.For another example, her mother and An Lingchen looked at each other with disgust, and even left their children and left the capital because of this.

The contents of the notes were scattered, and Chu Yan didn't know the whole picture of what happened many years ago, but just looked at the flowers in the fog and made a general outline. Presumably, her father An Lingchen knew the story between them.

The stories of the previous generation teach us lessons from the past. Her father, An Lingchen, hated Chu Xia, and even more hated their relationship.

"so what?"

Her voice was still faint, as calm as the wind and as indifferent as frost.

Chu Yan raised his head in surprise, "Axue, do you know that your father knows about it, and your mother is because..."

"I know," An Lingxue interrupted her and repeated, "So what?"

Chu Yan wanted to say that her father would not agree with her and Zhong Liyun's matter, she had known this for a long time, but she didn't know what Chu Yan said about her mother.

But that was also her mother's business, 800 years ago, not to mention that what Chu Yan said was not complete, she still thought, if it really happened, she would ask Aunt Chu and her father to find out.

However, what she cares more about now is——

"Ayan, why don't you want me to go?" An Lingxue sat opposite her, staring into her eyes.

Another gust of wind blew in, but a drop of sweat fell from Chu Yan's forehead, and his back stiffened for a moment, but he lowered his head, not daring to look at her.

On the morning of Zhongliyun's departure, Chu Yan stopped An Lingxue, and now, he tried hard to persuade her again, and the reasons listed were his identity and family. An Lingxue intuitively felt that there must be deeper reasons .

However, if she doesn't say anything, An Lingxue can't force her.

Leaving her here quietly, An Lingxue got up and was going to find Rong Rong, she was going to find Zhong Liyun, lest she need her help.

"I can't go," Chu Yan grabbed her sleeve, still hanging his head, "Axue, I can't go, please."

Trembling in her words, An Lingxue frowned, sat down again, sighed, moved her lips, still didn't say anything, just sat with her like this.

The bamboo curtain at the window was still for a long time, and the scenery outside the window gradually faded, An Lingxue finally said: "Let's go, let's eat."

"Ah."

An Lingxue didn't plan to procrastinate any longer. After eating, she was going to arrest people, but Chu Yan was one step ahead of her, and she didn't know where Rong Rong was dragged.

Without Rong Rong to lead the way, she couldn't move at all, but today's plan had to be shelved.

"Monster, what are you doing!" Rong Rong was dragged by Chu Yan, and after a hasty dinner, she was dragged to wander around on the street again.

Chu Yan pinched her wrist, and took a step to ride the wind, Rongrong was so anxious to trot to catch up with her, he said impatiently, "What are you going to do? There will be monsters when you come out at night!"

Chu Yan stopped suddenly, Rong Rong finally followed her, bent over panting, "You..." When she looked up, she saw that her eyes were covered with mist.

"Hey..." Rong Rong was at a loss for a moment, what should I do?Usually she is the one who cries, and then her elder sister comes to comfort her, but now someone else cries, what should I do?

"Chu, Chu Yan..." Rong Rong was quite uncomfortable calling her name for the first time, "Uh... you, don't cry, what's the matter?"

Wasn't everything fine just now?Why is it like this all of a sudden?How did my sister coax her before?

Rong Rong's eyes fluttered, and there were a lot of questions in his mind. Chu Yan didn't answer her, sniffed, and led her to continue walking, but this time, he slowed down and walked slowly.

During the day, Ah Xue asked her why she didn't want her to go to Zhong Liyun, and what other reasons, but she didn't want to see her being snatched away by others, but she also knew that she couldn't stop her.

Feeling depressed for a while, she simply pulled someone out. She has no other advantages, and she talks a lot, so it's better to be with her than to be alone.

Thinking of this, Chu Yan kept pulling her away and listening to her.

"Hey, don't talk, what are you going to do?"

"Hey, it's still cold outside, are you cold?"

"Oh, wipe it well, the wind blows your tears, it will be cold, and your eyes will turn red, it's very uncomfortable. Don't ask me why I know, you will look ugly tomorrow."

"..."

"I said, you should say something, otherwise I would be stupid and embarrassed by myself."

Chu Yan wiped away his tears, and said, "I have nothing to say, I just feel a little uncomfortable, just take a walk."

There are ghosts if you can do well!

Rong Rong is disdainful in her heart, she usually cries the most, when she encounters sad things, she has to be with others, cry heartily, and then comfort her indiscriminately, and then she can recover.

Look at her now... Rong Rong frowned deeply, she ground her molars a few times, and finally made up her mind.

Rong Rong took a step forward, blocking her figure, with sweaty palms, wiped the clothes carefully, and then hugged her under Chu Yan's bewildered eyes.

Chu Yan was surprised, but he didn't move, and let her hold him, thinking that this was her comforting himself, and he was a little moved, would this fool still comfort others?

The next moment, Rong Rong reached out and touched her head, "Be good, don't cry, sister will give you candy?"

Chu Yan froze instantly, slapped her hands off, and scolded: "You, what did you say? What do you think of me?" What, this kind of coaxing tone for children is really irritating, besides--

"Also, I'm your sister!" Size is very important, you can't get it wrong.

Rong Rong let go of her hand in disgust, and rolled her eyes again, "I'm kind, okay?" Really, it's hard for her to imitate her elder sister's usual way of comforting her, but this monster doesn't appreciate it, she really doesn't know good from bad!

"Humph!"

The two snorted at the same time and turned their backs.

But what if she is still sad?Rong Rong wanted to slap herself, why is she so ignorant?If others don't appreciate it, they have to move up.

Touching Chu Yan's arm, Rong Rong cleared her throat, "Well, I heard that eating sweets will make you feel better. Do you...do you want to eat sweets?"

Chu Yan pursed his lips, paused, "Eat!"

If you don't take advantage of a fool's advantage, don't take advantage of it.

"Here." Rong Rong took out a paper bag from his sleeve, opened it, and handed it to her, "Caramel, very sweet."

"Hmm..." Chu Yan pinched a piece and put it in his mouth, the corners of his mouth curved unconsciously.

Rongrong also threw a piece into his mouth, clapped his hands, closed his eyes and enjoyed the sweetness of the fudge turning into syrup and swallowing down his throat, "Do you feel like you are surrounded by happiness?"

"No," Chu Yan walked forward, "It's too sweet, sticky to the teeth."

Chu Yan opened his eyes for a moment, "You spit it out!"

"……don't want."
