Xiao Lingling took a deep breath and said, "Brother Yu, I'm sorry. I didn't think clearly that day, so I ran away.

You know, this is the first time I've encountered this kind of thing, and I don't know how to tell the difference.

Along the way, I have been recalling and thinking.

Until tonight, Sister Tong let me know the answer."

Chu Yu nervously grabbed Xiao Lingling's wrist and stared at her intently.

Xiao Lingling was inexplicably nervous because of him. She took a deep breath, looked up at him, and her eyes seemed to have a little more sweetness.

"Brother Yu, I like you too. I like you differently from my family and friends.

I want to do a lot of things with you, but even if I do nothing, I will feel very happy to be with you.

so……"

Xiao Lingdang was about to tell the conclusion, but Chu Yu covered her mouth, leaving her confused.

But soon, Chu Yu immediately knelt on one knee and said, "There are some things I should say first.

Ling'er, I love you and am willing to do my best to stay by your side. I wonder if you are willing to marry me and give me this opportunity?"

Xiao Lingling looked at his sincere eyes and finally nodded in response to his expectation.

"I do, Brother Yu. From now on, I will protect you, and we will be happy together, okay?"

Although Chu Yu was not surprised by this answer, the feeling of hearing it with his own ears still made him excited and his eyes turned red.

For the first time, he hugged her openly.

His strength was so great that it seemed as if he wanted to melt the little bell into his bones and blood.

Little Bell didn't feel any pain, but just hugged him back with the same strength.

After a while, Chu Yu gently let go of his hand and carefully took out a hairpin from his arms.

The pattern of a koi carp playing with lotus flowers is carved from a large piece of pigeon blood. It is both novel and has good meaning.

The most important thing is that she doesn't seem to be a good match with Xiao Lingling.

The little bell was attracted at the first sight.

The shape of the koi fish is so similar to her real body.

"Wow, this hairpin is so beautiful!"

Seeing that she liked it, Chu Yu couldn't help but curl his lips.

"As long as you like it, come, I'll put it on for you."

Xiao Lingling immediately lowered her head and said, "Yes, yes, yes, the koi fish on this hairpin is so beautiful, it looks like it's alive.

Brother Yu, where did you buy this? The carving is pretty good."

Chu Yu gently inserted the hairpin into her hair, making her look even more charming.

“I’ve known for a while that you like koi patterns, so I made them myself.

If you like it, I will give you a different one every year."

Xiao Lingling froze as she raised her hand. "Ah? You made this yourself? Brother Yu, you are amazing."

Chu Yu curled his lips, very pleased with Xiao Lingling's admiration, and had long forgotten about the jade stones that were ruined by the carving.

"This is our token of love, so naturally I have to do it myself."

Xiao Lingling blushed again at what she heard and quickly turned her head away, "Ahem. Brother Yu, it's not good for you to leave the barracks so suddenly. What if something happens or the Emperor investigates?"

Chu Yu patted her head and continued to hold her hand.

"It's okay. I had already written a memorial and submitted it when I left. I also arranged for someone to take charge.

Furthermore, the barbarians were defeated that time and have already sent the documents for peace talks.

So, don’t worry.”

Xiao Lingling finally breathed a sigh of relief and started looking at the starry sky with Chu Yu.

The two of them didn't speak for a long time, but the atmosphere was unusually warm.

The next day, Xiao Lingling finished her breakfast and quickly left, facing the strange looks from Wu Tongtong and Su Jingsheng.

Now that the problem has been solved, she can naturally go home.

Of course, Chu Yu was also traveling with her.

Xiao Lingling pretended to be calm and walked in with big strides, constantly preparing herself mentally.

However, when she met her mother's inquiring eyes, she still felt guilty and wanted to escape.

As expected, the one who knows her child best is always the mother.

Xiao Lingling didn't even need to say anything, she could tell something was wrong just by looking at her.

She waved at Xiao Lingling, "Come here, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so guilty?"

Did you get into trouble again? Lin Ling, you are already a grown-up girl, can't you be more steady?

For the first time, Xiao Lingling shrank her head like a quail and didn't dare to say a word.

This made the entire Lin family curious.

After all, Zhao had seen a lot of things and could see the clues at a glance.

She smiled and waved at Chu Yu, "Come on, don't stand there like an idiot, have you had breakfast?

If you haven't eaten yet, sit down and eat something. We are all family, no need to be so polite!"

The Lin family has always been kind to Chu Yu and truly treats him as their own child. No one thinks there is anything wrong with what Zhao said.

Chu Yu could see that the old lady knew, so he walked forward and sat down, not forgetting to pull the small bell beforehand.

"Aunt, let Ling'er sit down first. She has been traveling for the past two days and has not had time to rest."

As he spoke, the two of them sat down side by side, and he even raised his hand to pour a cup of tea for Xiao Lingling.

Xiao Lingling's face flushed red as she lowered her head.

Although she had made up her mind, she was still somewhat shy and embarrassed when she really had to tell her family.

At this point, no matter how slow everyone was, they realized what was going on.

Lin Feng, who had just been smiling kindly, suddenly frowned and looked at Chu Yu with a scrutinizing expression.

Chu Yu sat upright, not afraid at all.

Fang finally reacted and stood up immediately. "Ahem, so, why didn't you say so earlier, girl? Come on, come back to the backyard with me and take a rest. I just made two sets of clothes for you. Try them on and see if they fit you."

Xiao Lingdang knew that it was definitely not as simple as she said, but she had to overcome this hurdle sooner or later. She could only stand up and give Chu Yu a look that told him to wish her the best.

Chu Yu smiled and told her not to worry.

Afterwards, Zhao and Fang, one on each side, pulled the little bell back to the backyard.

Before leaving, Fang patted Lin Feng on the shoulder.

The meaning is very clear: take it easy, he is your own son-in-law after all, it would be bad to scare him.

However, Lin Feng couldn't care about these things at the moment. He only knew that this brat was trying to steal his beloved baby.

How is this possible?

Although I was mentally prepared, I still felt particularly sad when I thought that the little girl I raised was going to be taken away by him.

Although Xiao Lingling was worried about Chu Yu, she was most worried about herself at this moment.

The three of them returned to Xiao Lingling's room in the backyard and locked the door as soon as they entered.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sat on either side of the little bell.

"Tell me! What's wrong with you? How come you're like this after going out? When were you two together? Did you do anything stupid?"
