Luo Lingyu's breathing was rapid: "Mmmmm!"

When the maids moved the lanterns and were about to go back to get them, they saw another person in the courtyard. The servant at the gate gestured and winked at them. The maids looked over and saw lanterns scattered all over the floor, red light and white snow reflected in the light, bright and dim. The handsome man who looked like a banished immortal was holding their girl in his arms and doing something behind their backs.

The maids blushed and turned away tactfully.

At the same place, Luo Lingyu was kissed by Lu Yun until her legs and feet became weak. She fell on the handrail, with her back pressed against the railing. The coldness of the railing brought her back to her senses from the kiss. She saw Lu Yun's face pressed against hers, his thick long eyelashes, and his dark eyes. She was mesmerized by his beauty. When he kissed her, the sudden intoxication made Luo Lingyu feel a sudden pain in her infatuation.

She really...really couldn't stand the way he flirted with other girls in such a smiling and gentle manner!

Luo Lingyu raised her elbow and poked him in the waist. Lu Yun felt pain and stepped back. He touched the corner of his lips and there were a few drops of blood on his finger. Lu Yun raised his eyebrows: "You dare to bite me?"

Luo Lingyu ignored his teasing. She sat while he stood. She raised her arm to block the two of them and asked, "Who is Chen Xue?"

Lu Yun: “……!”

His eyes suddenly shrank, becoming dark and cold.

Lu Yun reacted so quickly. While thinking about the reason why Luo Lingyu asked him this, he said softly, "Did someone tell you nonsense? Don't believe others instead of me. It's just a girl I met in Luoyang. It's nothing."

Of course, there was no way he would admit who Chen Xue belonged to.

He judged her expression and sat down slowly. He held her hand, put it to his lips and kissed it. Luo Lingyu turned away and tried to get away, but Lu Yun held her tightly and gave an explanation: "It's really nothing. When I was in Luoyang, I sneaked into the prefect's mansion and needed help. That Chen Xue just did me a favor."

Luo Lingyu's shoulders were held by him. She wanted to leave, but he seemed to hold her loosely, but his hands were strong, so she couldn't stand up at all. The situation had already been resolved. She bit her lip, unwilling to give up, and raised her head again to ask: "Since you and her are just casual acquaintances, why do you have her handkerchief on you?"

Lu Yun blinked in surprise.

He really didn't know what he had on him. Maybe when he left the governor's mansion that day, the governor rushed in too hastily, so he stuffed Chen Xue's handkerchief into his pocket and didn't want to take it with him. After he came back, he fell ill, and Luo Lingyu took care of him. Maybe she saw Chen Xue's old things somewhere.

Lu Yun was almost certain about what happened, so he relaxed a little and said casually, "Maybe she dropped it accidentally? Who knows. Sister Yu'er, please don't mention her all the time."

Although Lu Yun was sharp, he was a man after all. He didn't realize that his eagerness to avoid the topic and his perfunctory attitude when mentioning Chen Xue seemed so obvious to Luo Lingyu.

Luo Lingyu stared at him in shock, and the fingers he held felt a little cold. His attitude was the best confirmation of her guess - if he didn't have something to hide, why would he avoid her like this?

She lowered her head again. Lu Yun noticed her hurt look and lowered his head: "You don't believe me?"

He paused. He was so proud that he really didn't want to mention "Chen Xue", especially in front of Luo Lingyu. But the girl's eyes were about to turn red... Lu Yun had to say a few more words: "It's really nothing. There is no way that she and I can do anything. Just pretend that there has never been such a woman in the world, okay? I promise that she will never appear in front of you."

Luo Lingyu's eyes were red. "Why do you say she will never appear in front of me? What do you mean? Do you think I can't compare to her? That's why you don't let her appear in front of me? How am I inferior to her?"

Lu Yun: “…”

He still wanted to coax Luo Lingyu, so he immediately changed his words: "I was wrong. She is not as good as one finger of my sister. She is really just a stranger. My sister should forget about her."

Luo Lingyu almost shed tears, which made Lu Yun's eyes shrink and he felt distressed. Hearing her sobbing, "How can you guarantee that she won't appear in front of me? Did you have something with her, but you couldn't bear to leave me, so you wanted to kill her to silence her? How can you guarantee that she will never appear in front of me?"

Lu Yun: “…”

I was left speechless.

Luo Lingyu raised her head suddenly, mustered up her courage, grabbed his collar, and said in a trembling voice: "Do you have, do you have..."

Lu Yun understood what she meant and thought it was ridiculous. He blurted out before she finished asking, "No! How is that possible!"

The girl's shoulders, which he was holding, relaxed slightly. Luo Lingyu bit her lips until it hurt, but the answer she feared the most, Lu Yun told her decisively that it was not true. He reacted so quickly and his attitude was so firm, it must be true. But was it really true?

What if he just didn't want to be separated from her and lied to her?

Luo Lingyu was dazed, with Lu Yun's hand on her neck, and she buried her face in his arms. The tears on her wet eyelashes stabbed on his neck. Surrounded by the clear and warm breath of her lover, Luo Lingyu could no longer hold back, choked up, and reached out to hug his neck.

She felt she was finished.

I want your words to last for thousands of years, and my love for you will be as unshakable as a mountain.

She really liked him... to such a humble degree. She liked him so much that she suspected he was having an affair behind her back, but she still couldn't resolutely turn against him. She still wanted to redeem him and wanted to hear his explanation... She was unwilling to give up Lu Yun, the man she rescued in the heavy snow. When she hugged him and cried in the snow that day, she was destined to give her heart to him.

Lu Yun said softly: "Lingyu, trust me. Don't mention Chen Xue again."

He held the back of her head with his hand and said, "I swear to you, I will never get along with Chen Xueyan and hurt your heart. You should believe me... I am always surrounded by all kinds of girls. If you don't believe me, what will we do in the future? You are also surrounded by all kinds of men. I can't be angry with you all day just because I'm jealous, right? We should trust each other."

After a long while, the girl, whose tears had soaked his neck, said in a muffled voice: "You are right... If we want to be together, I should believe you."
