Chapter 163 Extra 2
It's late at night and everyone is asleep.
When Lin Yanzhi came over from the roof, he opened the door and saw Xu Xu sleeping soundly on the desk.
He hadn't meant to wake her.
But today, Shen Huaichang actually came to the Regent's Palace to propose marriage!
He was anxious to know whether she agreed or not, so he had to wake her up.
The best way to wake her up is...
"Yanzhi meets godmother."
The word "godmother" is equivalent to Cheng Shuyi's name to Pei Ruxu.
She woke up instantly, picked up her pen and started writing, loudly making excuses for herself: "I wasn't asleep! Someone just knocked me out. There's an assassin!"
Lin Yanzhi, who was standing aside, lowered his head and tried to suppress his laughter, his shoulders shaking constantly.
Only then did Xu Xu realize that she had been deceived by him again.
She used her pen as a sword and put it against his throat: "Lin Yanzhi! Are you looking for death?"
The wet and cool ink slid down his Adam's apple and sank into his collar.
Lin Yanzhi didn't care at all and pushed the food box he brought in front of Pei Ruxu, "I brought you a midnight snack, eat it."
As he spoke, he pulled away the pen that she had pressed against his throat.
It was natural to help her continue copying the book.
He had been copying books for her for ten years, and he had imitated her handwriting to about 90% of its originality.
Anyway, Cheng Shuyi couldn't tell.
Pei Yanli might have seen it, but he didn't say anything and acquiesced.
Lin Yanzhi turned sideways towards her, his hands moving carelessly, but his tone was direct: "Chen Huaichang came to propose marriage to your parents today, do you agree?"
"Brother Huaichang proposed to my parents!"
This was the first time Pei Ruxu had heard of this. Her eyes widened. "Who are you talking about? Me?"
Lin Yanzhi rolled his eyes at her and said, "Who else could it be but you?"
She can't be so careless, right?
If she doesn't understand what I'm proposing, will she understand if I just kiss her directly?
When this thought came to his mind, Lin Yanzhi was shocked himself.
Will she beat him up?
"I don't want to!" Pei Ruxu was terrified. "I'm afraid of Brother Huaichang, how can I possibly marry him? No, no..."
Shen Huaichang controls her more strictly than her mother, the teacher, and the Grand Tutor combined!
And because she had been under his control since she was a child, she had developed a conditioned reflex.
When I saw him, I would unconsciously straighten my back and pretend to be reciting something.
If she married Shen Huaichang, she might not even be able to enjoy her meal.
When Lin Yanzhi heard that she disliked Shen Huaichang, his heart settled down.
"If you don't want to marry him, how about marrying me?" he asked with a smile.
"Believe it or not, I'll hit you!" Pei Ruxu pretended to punch.
The two of them usually loved to play jokes on each other, and she thought this was no exception.
"Don't think that because my brother is at the border, I can't beat you alone, Lin Yanzhi, you're just like that."
Pei Ruqi passed the imperial examination last year, but he did not directly enter the court as an official.
He also went to the northern border to gain experience under Mo Xiao.
Not at home at the moment.
"I'm serious." Lin Yanzhi slowly put away his smile, "You know I like you, don't you?"
"you……"
After all, it was her first time falling in love, and even though Pei Ruxu was very straightforward, she couldn't help blushing and feeling shy at this moment.
As he said, she had always known.
Because he never hid his love for her!
As long as she was there, his eyes never left her.
He also copied for her and helped her.
When he was studying in the palace, he would come even when he was not on duty, just to make her happy during the breaks.
To eliminate her resentment caused by the lecture from the Grand Tutor.
"But don't you think we are too familiar with each other that we even laugh when holding hands?" Pei Ruxu was still twisted.
It felt like good brothers holding hands.
It seems inconsistent no matter how I think about it.
Lin Yanzhi proved it directly with his actions by holding her hand.
This was the first time they held hands since she was seven years old.
Lin Yanzhi was so nervous that his palms were sweating, but he didn't want to let go.
"We can hold hands." His heart was beating so fast that he didn't dare look at her.
Pei Ruxu stared blankly at the hand he was holding for a long time before responding to him.
"Your hands... are shaking."
When his panic was exposed, Lin Yanzhi did not try to be stubborn or be stubborn.
He jokingly admitted, "I was also nervous when I held a girl's hand for the first time!"
"So are you going to get married or not? If you don't give me an answer, I'll faint from shaking."
Pei Ruxu burst out laughing when he heard this.
Laughing at him: "Lin Yanzhi, you have come to this day."
Lin Yanzhi wasn't kidding. He was so nervous he almost fainted. "Grandfather, please stop torturing me and let me die!"
Pei Ruxu was shy and didn't want to lose to him. "If you really faint, I will marry you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yanzhi rolled his eyes.
With a thud, his body slipped off the chair and fell to the ground in a faint.
"Lin Yanzhi!"
Pei Ruxu hurriedly got up to feel his pulse and found that he was really unconscious.
She was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Looking at Lin Yanzhi lying quietly on the ground with his face red to his ears.
Pei Ruxu raised her head and looked at the ancestors of the Pei family, and said softly: "Ancestors, my husband has embarrassed you."
