Chapter 117 Chapter 117 24

But when Yu and Yan came to the house the next day with great anticipation and excitement, they were met with Ruoruo's distant and unapproachable gaze.

She called him Master Yu and behaved with aloofness and courtesy, but Yu and Yan hated this.

If he had not felt her familiarity, seen her relaxed smiles and frowns, and enjoyed that "impolite" special treatment, perhaps Yu Heyan would still feel happy. But when the two attitudes were in obvious contrast, Yu Heyan felt as if a basin of cold water had poured over him from head to toe.

"Ruoruo, there's no need to do this..." What does it mean to not do this? Yu Heyan rubbed her smooth and soft sleeves with her hands, unable to speak.

He had never been one to connect with others. What came easily to Yu and Chen was incredibly difficult for him.

His throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't express his thoughts naturally.

He was wearing very warm clothes, and each piece of clothing was a treasure that could protect him from the wind and cold, but he still felt cold.

For the first time, he realized he truly couldn't be as bright and passionate as Yu and Chen. It had nothing to do with his physical condition; it was simply a difference in personality.

He never thought there was anything wrong with such differences. No one would like to have someone in the world who is exactly like him or her, even with the same personality. He also didn't need to be so lively that people would feel happy at first sight.

He has his own temperament and personality, and Yu Hechen also has his own unique temperament and personality.

But now, it is difficult for him to comfort himself and say that it doesn't matter.

Because he found that he didn't know what to do to get closer to Ruoruo.

He observed for a few more days and found that except for Yu and Chen, Ruoruo was equally distant from everyone.

Only Yu and Chen, only he is different.

This difference may be due to the fact that Yu Hechen was the one who brought her back, or it may simply be due to Ruoru's familiarity and acceptance of Yu Hechen, or perhaps it is just that Ruoru simply likes to interact with Yu Hechen, but Yu Heyan watched quietly and felt bitter in his heart.

Obviously, when he was Yu Hechen, the relationship between the two of them did not cool down.

He secretly spied on them laughing, talking, and making noises together, just like childhood sweethearts, both of them so beautiful, pure and natural.

But the moment he stepped into their world, Ruoruo became calm and polite, but this calmness and politeness was mixed with indifference and alienation.

Yes, Yu Heyan was clearly aware that he had stepped into the small world belonging to the two of them, the small world of his twin brother and Ruoruo.

He couldn't replace it, nor could he fit in.

So he took out the elixir he had originally intended to keep for his breakthrough. Although the world of cultivation loves to talk about elixirs, there is only one kind of elixir that can truly be called a elixir. It can make a person's cultivation advance by leaps and bounds without any side effects.

This kind of elixir is rare and precious, and the materials needed to refine it are expensive and hard to come by. The process of refining the elixir and its test of one's skills will lead to failure if one is not well-prepared.

He had prepared this medicine for a long time and intended to use it for a breakthrough, but now - Yu Heyan took the jade bottle and secretly found Yu Hechen.

"Is this for me?" Yu Hechen looked at the opened jade bottle but didn't dare to take it. His eyelids slightly closed, and his eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes. "Brother, you should keep this medicine for yourself. This is a finished pill that our entire sect has worked so hard to gather all the materials for."

Yu Heyan's face was cold and expressionless. "What is given to you is yours. I know this. Didn't you say you wanted to cultivate and protect the Yuding Sect? You are more suitable than me."

After saying this, he put down the jade bottle, turned around and left, "Remember to take it as soon as possible. This elixir is not completely perfect. If it is left for too long, its medicinal properties will inevitably dissipate."

Yu Hechen slowly touched the jade bottle. It was cool, but he felt warm.

Looking at his brother's departing back, he clenched his fist and swore secretly in his heart that he must not let down those who trusted him. He would definitely become a disciple that his master would be proud of, a younger brother who could protect his brother, and a man who could help Ruo Ruo.

But what he didn't know was that the brother he swore to protect had a look of deep guilt on his face the moment he left his territory.

However, despite feeling guilty, Yu Heyan remained steadfast and did not look back.

.

Three days later, there was another knock on Ruoruo's door.

Ruo Ruo opened the door and found that it was Yu Hechen who had just told him yesterday that he wanted to go into seclusion.

"Hechen, didn't you say that you wanted to practice in seclusion for a while?" She looked left and right, seeming very surprised.

Yu Heyan walked in with a droopy face, sat on a stool, and sighed with his face on the table, "Father didn't allow my eldest brother to give me the elixir. He fed it to my eldest brother and forced him to go into seclusion."

"What? How could your father do this?" Ruo Ruo was filled with righteous indignation. She patted his head soothingly. "Are you okay? Don't take it too seriously. If you're unhappy, let's go for a walk in the sea of ​​flowers together."

Yu Heyan sighed and nodded with a look of grievance.

But his face still turned red involuntarily.

"What's wrong with you? Are you sick from anger?" Ruoruo said, touching his forehead.

Yu Heyan quickly shook his head, stiffening his neck and saying, "No, I'm fine! I'm not sad at all! Okay, okay, let's go to the flower sea and look at the flowers! Ruoruo, don't stay stuck in your room all the time."

"Okay~ I haven't been stuck in my room all the time. You've been accompanying me around Yuding Sect all the time!"

…

Yu Heyan had been observing Ruoruo very carefully and meticulously in secret these days. In addition, he already knew his own brother well, so now in front of Ruoruo, his every move did not seem out of place at all.

"He Chen, why do I feel like you've been coming here more often these days?"

"Is there? No?" He smiled awkwardly and unconsciously folded his hands together and scratched.

Ruoruo's suspicious look disappeared, because this action was also a little habit unique to Yu and Chen.

Yu Heyan breathed a sigh of relief and took the opportunity to take out the things he had originally intended to give to Ruoruo.

"This isn't your brother..."

"This is what I got from my brother. Don't worry, he has plenty of medicine."

Ruo Ruo took it and casually glanced at some of it. Suddenly, her hand paused, "Are there any beauty pills in here?"

Yu Heyan had a bad feeling in his heart, but he still pretended to be calm, "Yeah, what's wrong?"

Ruo Ruo: "Didn't you say you would become the best at refining beauty pills for me? Why are you trying to steal your brother's pills now?"

Yu Heyan had never thought that such words would be exchanged between the two of them. However, thinking about the anti-aging pills that Yu Hechen had worked so hard to refine, Yu Heyan felt that he shouldn't be so surprised.

If he could learn how to make the anti-aging pill just for Ruoruo, it wouldn't be strange if he learned one more or even more.

"You can't refine it, so you deliberately take some from your brother so that you can be lazy?" Ruo Ruo stared at him fiercely, but the smile on the corner of her mouth was very obvious.

Yu Heyan could sense that she was joking, but he still denied it repeatedly, assuring that he absolutely did not have such an idea.

Happy times are always short. Yu and Yan felt both happy and painful every second they spent in this stolen time.

He thought that once Yu Hechen came out, everything he had done would be exposed, but he didn't expect that after Yu Hechen came out, he simply returned to his previous appearance.

He became Yu Heyan again, and Ruoruo once again distanced herself from him.

He clearly didn't try to hide it, but Yu Hechen and Ruoruo seemed to be completely unaware of anything wrong.

He waited day by day, fearing that one day he would be exposed and arouse Ruoruo's disgust, and also fearing that the two of them would never mention the fake Yu Hechen during that period, and they would never find any clues.

The second time he pretended to be Yu Hechen, he had already made preparations for being exposed. But that day never came. He went from worrying at first to becoming increasingly impatient, but nothing ever happened as he had imagined.

Even earlier than that was Yu Hechen's confession to Ruoruo.

What made him even more unacceptable was that after the confession, Yu and Chen waited until the hour of Xu, but they showed no intention of coming out of Ruoruo's room.

Ruo Ruo even took the initiative to keep him and asked him innocently, isn't this what it should be like to be a Taoist couple?

Yu Hechen also nodded without any bottom line.

"Bang!"

It was the sound of the Sukong Mirror falling to the ground.

Then came a violent coughing fit, so intense that Yu and Yan felt as if their internal organs were about to burst out. It was as if the cough they had suppressed in front of Ruo Ruo some time ago was now about to burst out all at once.

"Young Master, are you okay?"

Yu Heyan waved his hands and said, "Go to Yirongju and call me. Tell him that my father is looking for him. Then you take him to see my father in person and ask him to assess my cultivation tonight."

The person who came in was stunned for a moment, "Has the sect leader looked for Young Master He Chen?" But he quickly reacted the next second and bowed to obey the order.

"Remember, if father isn't here tonight, you'll have to find a way to stop my younger brother. In short, give him something to do. Any excuse will do, and you don't have to worry about him getting suspicious. As long as you can hold him back, that's all. If all else fails, you can use some other tricks, but don't hurt him physically."
