Dim sunlight shone through the eaves into the empty ancestral hall, reflecting mottled light and shadow.

For a moment, Lan Qiaoyi could even hear his own heartbeat.

"Boom, boom, boom—"

He clenched his fingers helplessly, but was held in the palm of another big hand with well-defined knuckles.

"It's an illusion."

A man's deliberately lowered voice came from above his head.

The cool touch on the back of the hand gradually became warm, and the fluttering heartbeat gradually calmed down.

"……Um."

Lan Qiaoyi heard his trembling and vague response, followed by an angry voice suddenly sounded outside:

"The outside is almost destroyed, and the inside is still there!"

As soon as the voice fell, there was a moment of silence around.

The heart that had just settled down to the ground rose to the throat again, and he didn't even notice that Chu Yue patted him on the back in a soothing way.

"...Yes! Everyone, don't be cowardly!"

"Yes, yes, yes—to cut the weeds, we must get rid of the roots!"

Noisy and chaotic footsteps sounded again, Lan Qiaoyi opened his eyes wide, and looked out through the door of the ancestral hall.

Men and women have different expressions on their faces.

Anger, guilt, panic...

The young man who witnessed all this was stunned.

He looked up in a panic, and what caught his eyes was the man's smooth chin.

"They're coming in."

"Don't be afraid, I will protect you."

Chu Yue's eyes were heavy, and he tightly hugged the boy in his arms.

The young man looked terrified, his slender crow-feather-colored eyelashes trembled, his pretty face was pale and colorless, and his bright red lips were tightly pursed.

He even wondered if the other party would cry helplessly if he was not by his side at this time.

This kind of conjecture stunned the man who had always been unhappy, and after a while, a smile flashed across his eyes.

Lan Qiaoyi didn't know what Chu Yue was thinking. He only knew that if Chu Yue hadn't hugged him, he wouldn't even be able to stand firmly.

Lan Qiaoyi subconsciously closed his eyes when he saw the leading villager reaching out to touch the door of the ancestral hall.

"Damn it! We're going to--!"

The sound stopped abruptly.

He didn't open his eyes until he smelled a burning smell.

A torn piece of paper slowly fell in front of him.

Looking intently, Lan Qiao Yi Wu's eyes widened, it was the yellow talisman that Chu Yue pasted on the door of the ancestral hall before going out——!

"I said, I will protect you."

The man's voice was still cold, his face was indifferent, and he seemed unapproachable.

However, there was a gentleness revealed for no reason.

While feeling at ease, Lan Qiaoyi subconsciously looked back at the altar of the ancestral hall. The tablets were still crumbling, and some were even knocked down to the audience.

It's like the first time I saw it before.

Lan Qiaoyi relaxed, and after a few seconds, he heard his own vague voice:

"fortunately……"

He was still glad that he was out of danger just now, but subconsciously ignored the posture that he was still surrounded by the man behind him at this moment.

"Blue Bridge Yi."

"Ok?"

He blinked, and looked suspiciously at...

Lan Qiaoyi was startled for a moment, and in the next second, a large patch of red spread across her fair and tender cheeks.

"I……"

Just as she was about to say something, the man's raised hand gently scratched the base of her ear.

"..."

The person in his arms had a beautiful and beautiful face flushed, and his waist, which had softened instantly due to his actions, was tightly bound.

A look of letting others do what they want.

Chu Yue's Adam's apple moved slightly.

In the evening, the two returned to the place where they lived, but they saw Zhao Ying's unsightly expression.

"what happened?"

Lan Qiaoyi subconsciously asked, and was a little surprised to see Zhou Ziji and Jiang Tian walking from behind Zhao Ying.

Unexpectedly, he and Chu Yue were the last team to come back?

Before Zhao Ying could answer his question, the boy was hugged by the red-haired boy who had been staring at the door early.

"Why so slow?! If you don't come back after eight o'clock, I will go find you."

Jiang Tian's voice was not loud, only Chu Yue who was standing a little closer to him and the young man in his arms could hear it.

It's just that the boy lowered his head slightly, and approached the young man face to face, and the hot air he exhaled while speaking hit the white cheeks in front of him, gently and lightly, the soft pink fainted on the face of the person in his arms. On her face, she looked like a juicy peach.

Jiang Tian even felt that as long as he took a bite now, the kitten in his arms would open a pair of watery eyes and accuse him.

Unexpectedly, the boy came up with the idea of ​​accepting it as soon as he saw it, and let go of the arm that was holding the soft waist.

"Jojo."

The man with unilateral glasses on the bridge of his nose smiled gently, looking at Lan Qiaoyi with genuine concern in his eyes.

"...I'm fine."

The young man seemed a little overwhelmed, his red lips curved slightly, revealing a timid and pitiful smile.

"Lin Lin hasn't come back yet."

Zhao Ying's words attracted everyone's attention. At this time, Wang Xue and the girl beside her were pale and looked a little crumbling.

"what happened?"

Chu Yue frowned, turned to look at Jiang Tian, ​​and everyone followed his gaze.

Lan Qiaoyi thought for a while before he remembered that Jiang Tian was assigned to those two girls when he was divided into groups, but there was only one girl who came back with him today.

At this time, Jiang Tian faced the eyes of many people, but he was unmoved. The boy just lowered his head to himself, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Jiang Tian."

"Jiang Tian..."

Two completely different voices sounded, the red-haired boy looked over, paused, and gave the boy a soothing smile.

……

"We went to the village chief's house today. In my impression, Lin Lin came out with us."

After Jiang Tian finished speaking, Zhao Ying obviously had an expression of disbelief.

However, the girl beside Wang Xue nodded at this moment.

Song Xiao's voice was a little trembling, but he still told the truth under everyone's oppressive eyes:

"What Jiang and Jiang Tian said is true, Lin Lin...Lin Lin did indeed disappear suddenly on our way back. When I left the village chief's house, I was helped by Lin Lin because I almost tripped."

Lan Qiaoyi's attention was attracted by Jiang Tian who was frowning at this time, he thought for a while, and then leaned over and said in a low voice:

"I believe you."

Beside his ears was his sweetheart's soft and concerned voice, and the expression of the boy with fierce eyebrows softened instantly. He lowered his head and touched the boy's fair and tender cheek, and gave a low laugh:

"Ok, I know."

This scene was watched by Chu Yue who was alone not far away, and the eyes of the indifferent and taciturn man were dim.
