Qingming Miscellaneous Talks

Suddenly, a few drops of cool water fell on her face. Lin Yuan stood up and saw several naughty children in the river splashing water at her and making provocative faces.

Yuan Xuanlang rubbed Lin Yuan's hair and ran to take off his clothes, then stepped into the river to compete with her.

The stream was very shallow, just above the knees, and several children of different ages were splashing and playing in the water.

The laughter was as loud as the chirping of cicadas in the hot summer.

Lin Yuan sat quietly against the tree, watching them play, and she smiled unconsciously.

"Xiao Yuan! Come quickly!"

Yuan Xuanlang waved to her in the sunshine, his smile wide and his chest strong and powerful.

Lin Yuan shyly avoided his gaze and said, "No, I want to rest for a while."

She probably couldn't join in their happiness.

"Okay." Yuan Xuanlang was not discouraged and followed her.

Lin Yuan couldn't help but glance towards the river. The laughter and chatter there stung her heart, but at the same time she was happy to see such a joyful scene.

At dusk, the villagers finished their work.

Xiao Cui pulled Lin Yuan to a poplar tree in the distance, pinched the corner of her clothes, and shyly handed her a purse. The purse was light green and embroidered with exquisite lotus flowers. The pink lotus flowers were as shy as people.

"Xiao Yuan, I like your brother! So..."

"So you want me to help you, give the purse to my brother, and tell him your feelings." Lin Yuan automatically responded to Xiao Cui's hesitant words.

Xiao Cui seemed surprised, then turned to joy: "Yes! If possible...Xiao Yuan, please be my aunt!"

Alas, another woman fell into his trap!

Lin Yuan smiled: "Okay, I'll give it to him for you, but I can't change my brother's feelings."

Xiao Cui held her hand gratefully: "Thank you, Xiao Yuan!"

Lin Yuan's face was full of kindness. This scene was so familiar! I should consider becoming a matchmaker.

As night fell, Lin Yuan was taking a bath in the side room.

The sound of water splashing leaked into the main room through the crack in the door. Yuan Xuanlang was reading a book under the lamp, his eyes were dim, and he never turned a page.

Finally, the sound of water stopped. He grabbed his loose hair with his hands and let out a breath.

Lin Yuan was wearing a homespun bodice and a semi-transparent gauze covering. She saw Yuan Xuanlang reading at the table. The orange candlelight made his facial features look softer.

He pinched the page with his fingertips and turned it over. His knuckles were distinct, like slender bamboo and warm jade.

Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and frowned. Tsk, his hand control was getting worse.

She handed Yuan Xuanlang Xiaocui's purse and explained the reason.

Yuan Xuanlang glanced at his purse and then asked, "Xiao Yuan, do you think brother should agree?"

Lin Yuan covered her mouth and yawned, her sleeves revealing her smooth arms. "What? That's not your business? What does it have to do with me?"

"Of course it has something to do with you. You are my sister, or..." He raised his eyebrows slightly, "Xiao Cui's future sister-in-law."

Lin Yuan's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that he was interested in Xiao Cui.

Do I really want to be her sister-in-law? This is all a scam. When he regains his memory, how will he cope? And what about me?

However, no one likes people who are suicidal and scheming, so it is not surprising that he chose Xiao Cui, and they are both doing well.

"Xiao Cui is a cheerful and kind girl. Xiao Yuan supports my brother." Lin Yuan lay on the table and said her support stiffly.

"But, we must eventually leave this place and return to Yongzhou." He stroked Lin Yuan's wet hair, as if soothing a small animal. "Xiao Cui is just a chance acquaintance. We are not destined to be together."

Why does it sound like the words of a scumbag?

"Haha, then go back to Yongzhou, you - our father will find you a good girl." Lin Yuan forced a smile, but he was not happy, and the smile gradually faded.

"That's right. When I return to Yongzhou, I must marry a beautiful girl." He pinched the pages of the book and observed Lin Yuan out of the corner of his eye.

The orange wick flickered slowly, and the wooden table cast a large shadow on the ground.

Lin Yuan lay on the table. She had worked all day and was tired and sleepy. The myriad thoughts in her mind turned into a sleepyhead. She yawned again, "Hmm..."

Seeing that she still had her eyes closed and was motionless, Yuan Xuanlang stood up, put his arm around her shoulders and picked her up.

"Huh? What's going on?" Lin Yuan lifted his heavy eyelids and woke up in shock.

"Sleeping on the table will easily cause you to catch a cold. Go to bed."

Lin Yuan narrowed her eyes slightly and struggled uncomfortably: "But this is very strange."

Where the skin touches, it is warm.

He hugged the person in his arms tightly, with a cunning glint in his eyes.

His tone became calm: "What's so strange about brother hugging little sister?"

Lin Yuan was put on the bed, with the thin quilt covering the lower half of her face, leaving only her two eyes blinking.

Yes, I am his "sister" and I have dirty thoughts.

"Brother, you're not sleepy yet. Xiaoyuan, go to sleep first." He returned to the desk and continued reading.

Lin Yuan sighed: "I feel like I'm not sleepy anymore."

Yuan Xuan laughed loudly, "Reading a book? 'Qingming Miscellaneous Talks'."

"Hmm? The demon Linyuan falls into the suffering of reincarnation. Will there be a sequel?"

"There is no sequel to this book. Perhaps there is, but the original may have been lost, leaving this book incomplete."

"So, are people writing books, or are books writing people?"

"What? Just a mythological biography."

"Ha—I'd better go to sleep. 3-minute fast hypnosis method to fall asleep, you deserve it."

"What is..."

“Imagine a world where boring things are done over and over again.”

"Um."

Then, the house fell into silence.

The candlelight flickered as Yuan Xuanlang carefully wiped the Lingxu Sword, his eyes half closed, his eyes buried in the shadow of the light, dim and unclear.

Just as Lin Yuan was half asleep, a faint voice asked, "Xiao Yuan, when do you think we can go home to see my dad?"

Lin Yuan replied subconsciously: "No... I won't reply. It's good here. There's no one to hate me. I don't have to think too much."

"You don't like the sect?"

Lin Yuan: “…”

Yuan Xuanlang only realized that she had fallen asleep when he heard her long breathing. He blew out the candle and the room fell into darkness in an instant.

"Indeed, this place is a paradise."

He took off his coat, pulled down the veil, and lay down beside her.

Lin Yuan lay flat on her back, her hands resting peacefully on her abdomen, looking extremely well-behaved and quiet.

He puckered her cheek with his fingers, and a dent appeared where his fingers touched. When he took his hand away, the dent bounced back.

It would be great if your heart could be so soft.

The palm of my hand stroked across her eyelashes, which made her feel itchy.

Your indifference and nonchalance are really hurtful.

The tip of his nose accidentally touched her temple, and a clear fragrance lingered around his nose, intoxicating his heart. He put his lips to hers and kissed her lightly, feeling cool and soft.

That's enough, it can't go on any longer.

He moved his lips back, touched her earlobe, and bit Lin Yuan's earlobe as if he was bewitched by a poppy.

"Hmm..." She moved suddenly, and Yuan Xuanlang was so frightened that he came to his senses and turned around quickly, his heart beating violently.

The sound of crickets outside the window slipped into the house, bringing with it the moonlight.

He heard his own heartbeat hitting his eardrums. After a while, there was silence. He turned around and met Lin Yuan's eyes.

There was a pool of moonlight in her clear eyes: "You remembered it."

She said in a firm tone.

"Haha, not long ago, I just remembered it." He smiled embarrassedly.

Junior Sister shouldn't blame me, especially since just now...

Lin Yuan sneered, "This guy is full of lies. Maybe he's been lying from the beginning!" Thinking of this, his anger grew even stronger.

They're all liars! They're all liars! He's using your guilt to deceive you, watching you cry like a fool, but secretly laughing at you! A hysterical voice screamed in my ear.

She grabbed the quilt and covered his head, then turned over and sat on top of him, "Go to hell!"

"Hmm..." He felt suffocated.

No matter how anxious my junior sister is, she wouldn't kill anyone.

Damn it, a good man like me is going to die in bed?!

He subconsciously reached for the sword on the bedside table and then withdrew his hand.

He struggled with his moving arms to push her away, but he felt something soft and immediately withdrew his hands, feeling extremely anxious.

Lin Yuan suddenly felt dizzy, the world was spinning, his vision went black, his hands lost their strength, and he let go of the quilt.

Yuan Xuanlang took the opportunity to lift the quilt, turned over and pressed Lin Yuan under him, holding her wrists and imprisoning her on the bed, "Heh...heh...this is not fun, you have to compensate me."

His long hair fell and gently scratched Lin Yuan's cheek.

The white veil was messy, revealing her beautiful collarbone.

They looked at each other, seeing themselves in each other's eyes, and a vague ambiguity floated up, entwining with the rippling curtains.

His lips slowly approached, and Lin Yuan was so panicked that she forgot to breathe.

She finally got rid of the entanglement of ambiguous emotions, closed her eyes, and tried to turn her head away, retaining her last stubbornness.

He paused. "Why? You obviously like me a little bit."

"Ding Ding—" There was a hurried knock on the door, "Brother Yuan, open the door, it's important!"
