thief, don't run

Three days later after An Lingxue left Yang Mansion, Rong Rong was still lying on the couch.

Because of Yang Yuandong's protection, Chu Yan and Rong Rong are friends, but all food and clothing costs are the same as before, and because of Rong Rong's injuries and recuperation, batches of precious medicinal materials have even been sent to Chu Yan one after another. superior.

All the curtains in the inner room were removed, and the sunlight coming in from the window happened to fall on Rong Rong's body, and the dust particles in the sunlight surged and jumped lively.

Rong Rong thought that she had been in the deep water, floating up and down along the waves, two forces pulled her, one side was warm and the other side was cold, floating but unable to float, falling and unable to fall, it was extremely uncomfortable.

When Rongrong was about to give up, she was in a daze again, feeling that her consciousness had returned to her original position, and her body's sense of touch was also gradually recovering. For example, now, she felt her belly was warm and very comfortable.After a while, she felt dissatisfied, only her stomach was warm, and she had to move to warm her face and feet.

Really feeling the existence of reality, Rong Rong slowly opened his eyes, the sense of reality returned and the illusion gradually faded away, like waking up from a dream, Rong Rong knew that he had come back to life.

"Chu, Yan..." The name subconsciously called out, even she didn't hear it clearly, but she got a response.

"Are you awake?" Chu Yan, who was kneeling by the couch, was suspicious, and leaned over, "Are you awake?"

"Well……"

"Really awake!" Chu Yan threw away the idle book in his hand, reached out and gently stroked her face, "How do you feel? Is there any discomfort?"

"...I'm fine."

Chu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly thought of something, withdrew his hand, and hurriedly got up, "Wait a minute, I'll get you the medicine, and I'll be right back."

Seeing her leave, Rong Rong closed his eyes again.When you wake up, you can see the face of your sweetheart, you must be happy, and if you survived a catastrophe and came back with a life, seeing the worry and concern in your sweetheart's eyes, although there is supreme happiness in your heart, there is still A touch of distress and guilt.

A bowl of decoction was brought, and as soon as Chu Yan entered the door, he saw that Rong Rong had sat up, staring at himself, his eyes were blank, but he did not hide it, and he couldn't help but bend the corners of his lips.

"Why did you get up? How do you feel?" Chu Yan put down the medicine bowl first, and sat by the bed.

"Very good, I want to bask in the sun, so I got up."

Tucking the quilt under her body for her, Chu Yan warned: "Your body is still weak, pay more attention."

"Okay." Rong Rong replied with a smile, thinking that it must be the effect of the sun, Chu Yan is so beautiful now.

Just when she sat up, Chu Yan fed her the freshly boiled medicine spoon by spoon. Although she frowned in pain, under Chu Yan's gaze, Rong Rong drank the whole bowl of medicine.

"Okay," Chu Yan put down the medicine bowl and helped her lie down, "You just woke up, rest more, remember to call me if you need anything, I'm always here."

"Hmm..." Although Rong Rong was not awake before, she felt something vaguely, "Where's Sister Yun?"

She seemed to remember that Sister Yun had left.

Chu Yan tidied up his head, but didn't raise his head when he heard the words, "She's gone, bringing the glazed lantern with her."

"Oh..." Rong Rong seemed to be a little impressed, "Then An Lingxue..."

"Let's go too, go after her." Chu Yan cleaned up, turned around and patted the quilt on Rongrong, and said seriously: "Don't think so much, take a good rest first."

Rong Rong stopped talking.

He recuperated for a few more days, during which no one disturbed him. Yang Yuandong came a few times, but each time he couldn't say a few words and was driven back by Chu Yan, and then forced Rongrong to rest on the bed.

Although Rong Rong felt that she was completely fine, she couldn't bear Chu Yan's various concerns, so she had to accept them all and listen to her arrangements.Speaking of it, this is completely different from the way they used to get along. Although she knows that Chu Yan is a good girl, she is so gentle that she really can't bear it.

But maybe there's a reason for all of this.

One day, Chu Yan went out to find medicine for her, and Rong Rong sat on the bed and read Chu Yan's book, then put it down after a while, and called someone in.

It is impossible to leave everything to Chu Yan to take care of. There were two maidservants waiting outside, so Rong Rong called and asked her to pour him a glass of water.The servant girl got Yang Yuandong's order, so she didn't dare to neglect, she poured a glass of water for her after a while.

Rong Rong can still do things like drinking water, what she wants is not a glass of water.Rong Rong took the teacup, hooked his hands at the maid, and when she leaned over and listened, Rong Rong asked: "Do you know where the two people who came here with us have gone? where?"

"This……"

Seeing her hesitating, Rong Rong immediately burst into a big smile, appearing gentle and amiable, like a spring breeze blowing on her face, one cannot bear to refuse.

The servant girl was distressed for a while, and finally gave her a blessing, regretting: "I don't know, I only know that the two of them left a few days ago. As for why and what to do, it is not for the servant girl to know."

But the servants in this kind of big mansion, whether they have any news or not, no matter it is true or not, they always know a little bit more. Afraid that she might be scruples, Rong Rong took her by the sleeve, wanting to get closer, Ask more questions.

"What are you doing?"

The servant girl looked honest and responsible, suddenly a sound came from behind, she was startled, she didn't care what to do, she hurriedly bowed and retreated out in a panic.

Chu Yan carried the food box and saw that the maid had gone out, then walked to the couch, sat down, and asked, "What were you doing just now?"

"It's nothing."

Chu Yan glanced at her, "Did you do something, or she went out like a frightened rabbit."

Normally, Rong Rong would have answered back politely, but now she was thinking about another thing, so she didn't say anything.

Chu Yan frowned, looked at the teacup in her hand, and asked again, "Thirsty?"

"Huh? Oh...no." Realizing the cup in his hand, Rong Rong replied and put it back.

"..." Chu Yan didn't say anything else, opened the food box, took out a small porcelain bottle, poured a pill, and dissolved it in the water.This is the medicine left by Zhong Liyun, and it is to be taken before meals.

Attracted by the smell of the food, Rong Rong watched Chu Yan's actions, thinking that Chu Yan has taken care of her so meticulously these days, the guilt and guilt in his heart grew heavier.

Alas, if it’s not yours, it’s not yours, and it’s time to make it clear.

Convincing herself in her heart, Rong Rong lowered her head and said, "Chu Yan."

"Ok?"

"Sister Yun and An Lingxue have already left, right?"

"...you already know."

"Well, then you should go find her too..."

After being silent for a while, Rong Rong looked up, but Chu Yan handed over a bowl, "What are you thinking, drink medicine."

"Now is not the time to drink medicine!" Chu Yan's nonchalant tone inexplicably annoyed Rongrong, "You can drink soup and medicine at any time, the important thing now is that you hurry up and accompany her!"

The reason why Chu Yan is here is because she wants to be with the person she likes, instead of wasting time taking care of an irrelevant person.

"Who are you going to accompany?" Chu Yan put down the bowl and asked.

After talking about the beginning, Rong Rong became anxious, "Who else, An Lingxue!"

"You are more important now, right? How can I let you be like this now."

Ah, sure enough.

Rong Rong leaned back, exhaled, and said slowly: "Chu Yan, even if it wasn't you who fell into the water that day, but anyone else, I would still try my best to save it, not to mention that I'm fine now."

"what are you saying?"

Rong Rong looked at Chu Yan, "I mean, you don't have to feel guilty about it, let alone...you don't have to wrong yourself."

Chu Yan has been taking care of her these days. She knows that Chu Yan treats her with all his heart. She knows that she also likes the feeling of Chu Yan being around. She knows that it is only because Chu Yan is too gentle.Because he saved her, and even almost lost his life, Chu Yan felt that she was responsible, so he took care of him so wholeheartedly. Even now that he was so rude to her, she didn't quarrel with her, and talked to her seriously talking.

He also gave up going back with An Lingxue, she obviously liked her so much.

Although she likes to be with Chu Yan very much, she can't let herself be caught by Chu Yan. Chu Yan should choose the path she wants to go according to her heart.

Chu Yan shouldn't have stayed.

"Then what do you do?" Chu Yan stood up and asked, "If I leave, what will you do? The Yang family may kill you right away."

"It's okay." Chu Yan is willing to listen to persuasion, and Rong Rong said relaxedly: "My injury is almost healed, and there is a wooden bird in my package. Send it out, and within three days, someone will come to pick me up. It's just the government."

"So you've already thought it all over..." Chu Yan's low and calm words made Rong Rong panic for some reason.

"Why?" Chu Yan repeated, "Why do you want me to find Axue?"

Rong Rongmoran, isn't this what you want?I just give you what you want.

"I hope you will think it through carefully and then tell me."

Probably after the nose was shielded from the smell of the food, Rongrong said, "I like Sister Yun."

Chu Yan looked at her.

Rong Rong closed her eyes and said: "I like her, so if you can get An Lingxue to be with you, then sister Yun and I will have a chance, right? This is the reason." Lying, despicable, shameless, selfish .Rong Rong scolded herself all over in her heart.

"You like her? Do you..." Chu Yan chuckled, then sat down, leaned into Rongrong's ear, and said softly, "I thought you liked me."

"What!" Rong Rong almost bit his tongue, his whole face and ears turned red, and he turned his head, "You, you think too much!"

"Is that so..." Chu Yan half leaned over, pressing Rongrong against the corner of the bed, "You don't like me?"

Rong Rong was forced to retreat, she bit her lip and did not speak.

"Don't answer..." Chu Yan suddenly pinched Rong Rong's chin with one hand, causing her to turn her head, "Then ask again, who do you like?"

Rong Rong's angry temper also came out, "Yun..."

As soon as he started talking, he was blocked back.Then there was a blank in my mind.

This feeling of being unable to breathe was similar to the moment before she fell into the water and passed out. Just when she thought she was going to die again, Chu Yan finally let her go.

But after letting go, Rong Rong still felt that she was going to die.Gasping for breath, Rong Rong could only think of Chu Yan...kiss, kiss, kiss...kiss her!

"Answer wrong, this is punishment." Chu Yan's breath was calm, and he said with a smile: "One more chance, who do you like? If you answer wrong, you will be punished. If you answer correctly... there will be rewards."

As Chu Yan said with a smile, his fingers carefully traced the vermilion lips that he visited just now, which was extremely seductive.

Swallowing saliva in a hopeless manner again, Rong Rong looked at the person in front of him, and had an illusion, could it be that Chu Yan likes him?As soon as this idea came up, Rong Rong quickly shook her head in her heart, how could Chu Yan like her?Didn't she say that what he likes is An Lingxue, her childhood sweetheart, how could he give up suddenly after more than ten years of relationship?

However, if they were just friends, would Chu Yan do this?No, it should be said, I have done this for the sake of it, so what else to consider!Rong Rong suddenly remembered what she said to Chu Yan before, no matter what, you have to try, you can't give up before you try.

and so--

"I like you."

Chu Yan was very happy with the expected answer, "The answer is correct~"

It turns out...it really is...

"It would have been better if I said no." Chu Yan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said in a gentle voice, "You still dare to lie to me, and you will only say so if you are forced into this."

"Hmm!" I have already made up my mind, and everything in front of me is not important anymore.but--

"So, what about the reward for the correct answer?" Rong Rong smiled and closed her eyes obediently.

Um?The cold touch was different from what he remembered, Rong Rong opened his eyes suspiciously.

"Shiquan Dabu Decoction." Chu Yan handed the pill to her lips, and said with a smile, "This is left by your sister Yun, you have to drink it all."

Rong Rong made a bitter face, "So..."

"It's a reward."

Don't want this kind of reward!

Even so, Rong Rong obediently drank the whole bowl of medicinal soup, and the two of them started eating.

It stands to reason that the two of them are now different from before, but Rong Rong didn't feel any change, and after careful thinking, she couldn't think of what should be changed, but she asked her to figure out something else.

"I said," Rong Rong took a sip of the soup and said dissatisfiedly, "How do you know that I must like you, and that's... too rough, my... the first time, okay?"

The impression left by the first kiss is the same as the feeling of dying when falling into the water, it is too hasty!

Chu Yan concentrated on eating, and looked up at her, "It's the second time."

"Ah?" Rong Rong was at a loss, another time?before that?when?

"When you fell into the water, I did it to save you." Chu Yan said concisely, without realizing the psychological trauma caused to Rong Rong.

It was so bad twice!Rong Rong could imagine the way Chu Yan was blowing his breath back then, could it be counted as saying that?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt bad, Rong Rong put down the bowl and chopsticks with a look of resentment.

"what happened?"

"No," Rong Rong said sadly, "I strongly request to do it again."

This time, it must be soft and sweet.

"...Okay." Chu Yan swallowed the leek in his mouth.
