Chapter 788: Ancient Noblewoman in the Ancient and Modern Texts (30)

Lu Chi took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said, "I'm telling you, it's impossible. If you can't bear it, I'll go talk to him."

Su Yu was startled and pulled him back: "Don't!"

Su Yu's voice softened: "Don't tell him yet, I'll think about it."

Lu Chi couldn't wait any longer. He was eager to give out his birthday present.

"You've thought about this long enough."

Lu Chi was worried that things might get more complicated if the night went on, so he didn't intend to give Su Yu any more chances to delay.

While he sent someone to bring Shi Yingjin over, he recalled what happened in his dream and told it softly, which brought back Su Yu's memories of the past and shook her heart little by little.

"Sometimes, I really think those things were just a dream." Lu Chi sighed.

Su Yu shook her head: "How could it be a dream?"

Lu Chi's mind moved slightly, and he asked casually, "By the way, how did you get here?"

Lu Chi secretly checked Su Yu's information, but unfortunately he only found a bunch of false information. The more this happened, the more suspicious her background seemed, and the more it confirmed that incredible guess.

There was nothing to hide, Su Yu told the truth.

"That evening, after meeting you, Tongyue and I left Huang'en Temple. It rained heavily on the road, and the thunder was deafening, knocking down the trees on the roadside."

Su Yu recalled that evening with fear in her eyes: "I vaguely heard the sound of the tree falling towards the carriage, and then I opened my eyes and was at Ajin's house."

Lu Chi asked, "Is that it?"

Su Yu shook her head: "I don't know anything more."

Lu Chi said with a distressed tone: "It's hard for you. It would have been great if I had found you earlier."

Su Yu pursed her lips and said, "Brother Prince, how did you get here?"

Lu Chi paused, his eyes flickered, and then he said calmly: "Like you, I don't know exactly what happened. I just remember that everything changed when I woke up."

Lu Chi was not lying. After waking up, he had a strange dream in his mind.

As the dream deepened, it was as if he had gained another memory.

Sometimes when he saw Su Yu, he would be in a trance for a moment, and feel love and pity for her from the bottom of his heart.

Weird dreams, weird women.

If he hadn't been concerned about Shi Yingjin, he would have taken Su Yu back to study her long ago.

Fortunately, it’s not too late now.

"Jiaojiao, right now in this world, you are the only person I trust the most." Lu Chi hugged Su Yu in his arms.

Su Yu struggled unnaturally, but was moved by these words and her struggle gradually subsided. She seemed to understand firsthand the feeling of being alone and could not bear to push him away.

There was a faint noise outside.

“Brother Shi, I just saw my sister-in-law over here, and she disappeared in the blink of an eye.”

Su Yu was startled and tried to push Lu Chi away.

"Shh, don't move." Lu Chi took her and walked towards the corner, as if he didn't want to be discovered by Shi Yingjin.

Su Yu was deceived by his appearance and stopped struggling. She breathed softly and followed him to the corner.

I don't know if the window is broken or something, but there is a gap that I can't close.

The cold wind blew in from the gaps, and Su Yu's arms and exposed calves turned blue with cold. She instinctively looked for a source of heat and leaned into the arms of the person behind her.

Lu Chi glanced at the window and saw a small stone stuck there, creating a gap.

Lu Chi looked away as if nothing had happened and hugged the shivering girl.

Two thinly dressed people snuggled together in the cold wind to keep each other warm.

Su Yu's voice trembled: "Will A Jin come in? What if he sees us?"

The door to the utility room was not locked and could be easily opened from the outside.

Lu Chi whispered: "Don't be afraid."

While comforting Su Yu, Lu Chi paid attention to the movements outside the door.

He had specially observed that the only place to hide was this storage room. Whenever Shi Yingjin had any suspicion, he would come here to check.

My breath was drowned in the whistling wind.

Su Yu also stared at the door nervously, not sure whether Shi Yingjin would come in.

The footsteps outside the door are getting closer.

Su Yu's heart was in her throat and she clutched her clothes tightly.

Lu Chi's coat was still draped over her shoulders, with a faint scent of fir. The fragrance was so strong when you got close that it made you dizzy.

The footsteps stopped at the door.

Su Yu seemed a little scared and wanted to leave Lu Chi's arms, but he grabbed her shoulders and held her in his arms. She even turned from her back to facing him.

From a distance, it looked like they took the initiative to hug each other.

Kada——

There was a small sound and the door handle turned gently.

The gap in the door was getting bigger and bigger. Su Yu's heart was beating fast. As the door was opened, her eyes fell directly on the face of the person outside the door.

Su Yu exhaled sharply. It was not Shi Yingjin.

Lu Chi frowned slightly, somewhat dissatisfied with the result.

The people outside the door were stunned when they saw them: "You, you guys..."

Su Yu looked pleading and opened her mouth, wanting him not to tell anyone what he had seen.

Unfortunately, before she could open her mouth, the man stepped aside and said in a wandering voice:

"Brother Shi, take a look for yourself."

Caught off guard, Su Yu met Shi Yingjin's dark eyes.

My breathing suddenly stopped.

Su Yu leaned in Lu Chi's arms in a daze. It took her a long time to find her voice again, which was a little broken in the cold wind: "A Jin..."

Shi Yingjin's face was cold and his eyes were dark.

He didn't expect to see this.

His girlfriend was hiding here and hugging another man during his birthday party.

Su Yu suddenly woke up and quickly left Lu Chi's arms: "Ajin, listen to my explanation."

However, she was still wearing Lu Chi's coat.

Because of her struggle, her coat slipped off her shoulders. When it suddenly came into contact with the cold air, her body trembled slightly and goose bumps appeared.

"Be careful, don't catch a cold." Lu Chi picked up the clothes on the ground and put them on Su Yu again.

He took Su Yu's shoulders and raised his smiling eyes, with a hidden provocation, straight into Shi Yingjin's gloomy eyes.

"Jin, I'm sorry."

There was no hint of apology in his actions.

Lu Chi exerted a little force, pulled Su Yu into his arms, and whispered: "You must make a choice this time."

Su Yu's eyes trembled as she looked at Shi Yingjin. She was frightened by the gloomy coldness in his eyes. Su Yu's body trembled slightly, and she slowly lowered her eyes, not daring to look at his expression again.

It is said that a choice must be made, but now there is only one choice left.

From the moment she and Lu Chi maintained private contact, the outcome was already determined.
