Chapter 177: Watching in Person
Wen Yan's skin is as white as jade, with a red mole on her wrist as her only blemish.
Ying Zhilin only took a glance, then lowered his eyes and looked away.
Seeing him stunned, Wen Yan urged, “I haven’t touched it yet, you can take it.
Otherwise I would have to wake up Pearl to make you a midnight snack."
"No need to call Pearl, these snacks are enough."
In order to show that he really didn't mind, Ying Zhilin immediately took out a piece of dessert and stuffed it into his mouth.
While eating, he sat down on the bench outside the window with his back to Wen Yan.
He asked, "What were you thinking about when you looked at the moon?"
I can’t talk about what happened in Cangzhou.
She said casually: "I'm waiting for you to come home."
After saying it, Wen Yan regretted it.
He even slapped himself lightly on the mouth.
I warned Ying Zhilin a few days ago to be a good 'partner', but now I can't keep my word!
She was very upset.
Just when I was about to say something to make amends, I noticed that Ying Zhilin's head was nodding.
Are you asleep?
It’s okay!
He didn't hear the quick words behind him.
However, if I can fall asleep just sitting like this, I must be very tired during the day.
Considering that he is about to take the imperial examination in autumn, it is understandable that he is so tired.
Wen Yan was about to wake him up and ask him to go back to his room to sleep.
I saw his body sway and fall forward.
"Ah..." Wen Yan cried out softly.
She leaned half of her body out of the window and supported his chin with her hand to prevent him from falling to the ground.
Ying Zhilin's chin was prickly and had a light layer of stubble.
However, the skin on her cheeks was very smooth, but not as soft as a woman's. Instead, it was tight and elastic.
The atmosphere between the two of them was already very strange, and if they were woken up in such an ambiguous posture.
Wouldn't it be even more awkward to meet in the future?
Wen Yan tried hard to press him against the wall, and then wake him up after she could free herself.
She half-knelt on the armchair and strained, with half of her body leaning out of the window.
Not only did she fail to push him against the wall, but she was thrown forward by his weight.
"Ah..." Wen Yan cried out softly.
Ying Zhilin was awakened and subconsciously hugged Wen Yan.
Wen Yan fell into Ying Zhilin's arms without any preparation.
The two looked at each other.
Ying Zhilin's eyes were clear and bright, without any hint of male or female intimacy, and he teased her: "If you fall at a more off angle, I won't be able to catch you."
Wen Yandang didn't understand his teasing and tried to stand up by supporting his legs.
As a result, her hands slipped several times and she fell into his arms again.
The key point is that half of her leg was hanging on the windowsill.
Ying Zhilin chuckled.
Wen Yan wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Fortunately, the skirt was long enough and didn't reveal any parts that shouldn't be exposed.
Ying Zhilin said, "Stop struggling, let me help you." As he said that, he stood up.
He picked her up and carried her back to her room.
Ying Zhilin put Wen Yan back on the original armchair: "You should have a good rest." He said good night and turned back to the house.
Wen Yan let out a long sigh, feeling extremely embarrassed tonight.
Unexpectedly, Ying Zhilin suddenly stopped and said to her: "Next time, you can go through the main door and don't climb through the window anymore!"
After saying that, he strode back to his room.
Wen Yan looked at the closed door opposite: "..."
This guy, is he itching for trouble?
Ying Zhilin returned to the room and pressed his heart tightly.
His original intention was to pretend to be awake to resolve the embarrassment of Wen Yan's "slip of the tongue".
I didn't expect Wen Yan to carefully support my chin, and finally fly into my arms...
Ying Zhilin touched the place on his chin that Wen Yan had lifted, and his smile became sweeter and sweeter.
But he immediately straightened his expression and said to himself: "You should know Lin, don't get carried away."
Five days later.
Wen Yan received a letter from Beijing.
The letter was written by Jing Mingmei.
He told Wen Yan,
Last night, someone came to look for Wen Ruyue and his wife late at night.
It is said that Wen Ruyue's grain transport team was trapped in the mountains and encountered heavy rain, and all her food was soaked by the rain.
Wen Ruyue's face turned pale at the time: "It's over, it's all gone, all my dowry has been invested.
The grain has sprouted, how can I make money?
Huo Yaoxing frowned, thought for a long time, and then made a decision.
This morning, Wen Ruyue went out with a scholar named Situ Ming.
He went directly out of the city through the north gate and should be heading straight to meet up with the grain team.
Wen Yan finished reading it and was about to dispose of the note.
She paused for a moment, then resumed her movements.
His eyes were fixed on the three words "Situ Ming".
"What a Situ Ming! I didn't expect it to be him!"
In his previous life, Huo Yaoxing’s most useful military advisor was Situ Ming.
This person is good at using ruthless means when encountering problems.
Most of Huo Yaoxing's inferior methods were learned from him.
Wen Yan in his previous life also suffered a great loss at his hands.
This person should not be underestimated.
Uncle Lin and Uncle Tian, who like to speak their mind directly, may not be his opponents.
If he were to become aware of the existence of his two uncles, not only would their plan fail, but his two uncles might also lose their lives.
Wen Yan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
no.
She couldn't let her two uncles act alone!
Wen Yan immediately decided to go there in person.
It took a lot of effort to coax Wen Ruyue into the circle, and she can't be allowed to break out easily.
Wen Yan made a decision and packed her luggage while calling Uncle Shitou. Then she went to find Jing Mingmei to ask for more details. Wen Yan was very quick and was ready to leave early the next morning.
That night, she waited for Ying Zhilin to come home and told him that she was going on a long trip.
Ying Zhilin's eyes darkened for a moment, but soon returned to normal.
He didn't ask Wen Yan why she wanted to go out.
Where are you going?
Who are you meeting?
What are you doing?
When will you be back?
Instead, he gently but firmly instructed: "Take Pei'er with you, she is considerate and can take good care of your daily life.
Be careful out there!"
He suddenly shut up and hurried back to his room.
After a while, he took out a long object wrapped in a brocade handkerchief.
"Take this for self-defense."
Wen Yan opened the brocade handkerchief and saw a short sword without any decoration inside.
"This dagger is very sharp. Be sure to keep it away and don't hurt yourself."
Wen Yan hesitated for a moment, but still didn't say the word of refusal.
She took the dagger and warned him, "Stay at home and protect our home."
"Okay!" Ying Zhilin responded gently but firmly.
"Just do your own thing outside, I will take care of everything at home."
Wen Yan suddenly smiled at him: "Ying Zhilin, thank you for being so reliable. If you weren't at home, I wouldn't be able to go out and do my work without distraction."
Ying Zhilin's heart felt like it was tickled by a feather, tingling and numb.
He shrugged nonchalantly: "We are partners, so of course we have to support each other."
Wen Yan patted his arm as if entrusting a friend with something. "I'll leave it to you for the time being. When I come back, I'll definitely bring you something good."
