Chapter 68 What happened?
◎Why didn't I know you were so clingy before?◎
In the afternoon sun, in the Yuqing Courtyard
After finishing her meal, Yuliu went to Yuqing Courtyard for a short rest. Probably because she had been running around all night due to the kidnapping of the Fourth Prince's wife at the Night Lantern Festival, she had always had trouble falling asleep. But now, as soon as she lay down on the bed, she felt her eyes were heavy and a strong sense of sleepiness swept over her from the depths of her consciousness.
Although she was very tired, the past few days, whether it was the Chunfeng Fulan Deed, the owner of the building Shen Yuan, the eldest son of the Su family coming to Xiao State in person, or the fourth prince's wife deciding to escape back to Chu State, all these people and events were floating in her mind in a chaotic manner.
I always feel that there is some connection between these things...
But what is it exactly?
"Elm and willow..."
"Elm and willow!"
Yuliu was half asleep when she heard a gentle voice calling her name. Her brain, which was overwhelmed by various thoughts, suddenly became clear, and the chaotic darkness in her light sleep consciousness was gradually covered by the soft light.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes. What she saw was a bony hand stretched out from the side, vaguely blocking Yuliu's sight.
Yuliu had just woken up. As she opened her eyes slightly, she saw Yunhe's hand reaching out to her in the backlight. Subconsciously, she used her soft fingertips to scratch Yunhe's inward palm. Her voice had a rare slight nasal tone, as if she was acting coquettishly: "What are you doing?"
"Did you forget?" Yun He withdrew his hand and stood up from Yuliu's bedside. As he moved, the warm afternoon sun, previously obscured by his hand and body, suddenly streamed down, illuminating Yuliu's fair skin with a translucent whiteness. "You just had a dinner appointment this morning with the eldest son of the Su family."
Yunhe's movement made Yuliu realize that the afternoon sun was as brilliant as the morning sun, casting a faint golden glow across the room. She half-closed her eyes, propped herself up on the bed, and said nonchalantly, "Ah... I do have an appointment. I've been so busy lately that I almost forgot... By the way, where's Fangyue?"
"She was summoned to the palace by the Fourth Prince, probably to deal with the previous Yumei incident." Yun He took the coat from the clothesline and handed it to Yu Liu, "Put it on quickly, or you'll catch a cold."
"How can you catch a cold in this kind of weather?" Yuliu glanced at the white light all over the ground, but reached out to take the coat and put it on. Her fingertips moved quickly as she laced the clothes, deftly tying a knot on her skirt. She asked, "What about Master Chen?"
"Since the matter has come to an end, I won't bother you any longer. After lunch, I'll clean up a bit and then go back to the spring breeze."
Yuliu got up from the bed and smoothed out the small wrinkles on her gauze coat. After hearing Yunhe's words, she was a little surprised that Master Shen, who was so lively, would say such a thing. So she raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Yunhe suspiciously: "Is this what he asked you to tell me?"
Yunhe smiled back.
Yuliu rolled up her sleeves and murmured softly, "They're walking so fast..."
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just have something personal to discuss with him." Yuliu turned around and looked at Yunhe in the direction of the spring light. "It's not a big deal. Besides, I'm going to Chunfeng Brushlan as well, so it's on my way. But... there's no one in the mansion right now, so I might need you to stay here."
Yunhe didn't respond.
He just looked up at Yuliu's eyebrows and rarely answered.
"What? So clingy?" Yuliu was amused by Yunhe's reaction. "Want to go to Chunfeng Brushlan with me?"
Yuliu turned around and turned back, facing Yunhe with her back to the light. She looked up at Yunhe's features and said with a soothing smile, "It's okay. I just happened to think that my brother had something to say to me, so I suggested this dinner."
"I'll be back soon, don't worry too much."

Yuliu: And I already hinted at you yesterday! Please stick to me all the way!
