Chapter 116 Chapter 116 23
Yu Heyan didn't expect Yu Hechen to say such words to him.
That's right, in fact, he should have expected this day to come.
I just didn't expect it to come so early.
He did not feel any dissatisfaction with Yu Hechen, but subconsciously took his anger out on Ruo Ruo. After all, if it weren't for her, this day would not have come so soon.
He knew it was wrong for him to vent his anger on others, but it was difficult for him to control his subconscious reaction.
Who else could he blame? His younger brother, who he cared about and owed something to? Or his parents, who always took his side?
He narrowed his eyes, feeling somewhat unhappy, but all that unhappiness was directed towards the stranger.
In reality, if it was a friend they knew well, Yu Heyan wouldn't have reacted so strongly. However, the friend Yu Hechen brought back was of unknown origin, and it had already caused unrest within the sect. These days, countless young disciples had been skipping their alchemy training to come here every day.
Even though Yu Hechen had not yet met the so-called Miss Ruoruo, he had already left a bad impression on her.
"Okay, I don't care." Yu Heyan nodded. "Sorry, little brother, I know you've been wronged."
A hint of loneliness appeared on his cold face, causing Yu Hechen to reflect on whether his previous words were a bit harsh.
However, Yu Hechen was still very happy to hear his brother's promise. At least he didn't have to worry about Ruoruo being disturbed for no reason.
But he didn't know that after he left, Yu Heyan changed his clothes and knocked on Ruoruo's door.
"He Chen? What's wrong? Is there anything else?" Ruo Ruo opened the door and saw the man standing at the door. He was no different from before, even the sachets he used had the same scent. His face looked cheerful and lively, with a big smile on his face.
Ruo Ruo raised an eyebrow silently, her gaze fixed for a moment on the small mole on his collarbone, and the frailty that no amount of disguise could conceal. But she quickly returned to normal, smiling softly and charmingly, treating him as usual.
At this moment, Yu Heyan also fell into a moment of daze.
He... the cold ice in his heart seemed to melt instantly. He used to suspect that the young disciples in the sect kept running here, wondering if Chen'er's friends had used some tricks. But when they actually met, Yu Heyan finally understood that there really was someone who could attract everyone's attention just by standing there.
All the treasures he had painstakingly collected seemed insignificant in comparison to this Ruoruo girl, like grains of sand. All his hobbies seemed to have lost their meaning.
Suddenly, he remembered that his younger brother, who had never touched alchemy, suddenly became keen on it. He thought that she had put in a lot of effort and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to gain some benefits. However, when he really saw Ruoruo's appearance, Yu Heyan realized how pleasant it was to be able to offer his own things in front of her like a treasure.
"I... I'm not..." Yu Heyan wanted to explain. After all, he pretended to be like this at the beginning because he naturally had his own bad ideas in mind, but now all of them have been dispelled, and he even felt guilty.
But the next second, Ruoruo's slender jade-like hand reached out, grabbed his hand, and dragged him into the room skillfully.
"It's nothing? Why do you stutter after not seeing you for a while?" She smiled coquettishly, and helped him tidy up the slightly messy hair scattered on his shoulders. With a smile in her eyes, she looked at him quietly.
Everyone says that the land of gentleness is good, but for Yu Heyan in the past, all of that had nothing to do with him. His life was only about cultivation, alchemy, watching the drama happening around him with cold eyes, and collecting all kinds of rare treasures and various rare spiritual herbs.
He once thought that such days were beautiful, but now when he looks back on them he finds them boring.
What is the real taste? Of course, it is the smile and frown of the person in front of you.
He wanted to reveal his identity because he didn't want to hear her keep saying the name of another man, even if that man was his younger brother whom he had always felt indebted to but envied for so many years.
But in Ruoruo's eagerness, he couldn't find the right time to speak.
"Hechen, the elixir you gave me is really useful. Look, isn't my face much more radiant?"
As she spoke, Ruoruo brought her icy, crystal-clear face closer, her clear eyes wandering, her face full of joy.
"Hmm... beautiful..." Yu Heyan didn't know what to say for a moment.
At this moment, there was another knock on the door. Yu and Yan didn't even realize when someone came to the door again.
His breathing stagnated, and his hands clenched unconsciously, fearing that it was Yu Hechen knocking on the door. But whether he was afraid that Yu Hechen would find out what he had done and make trouble for him, or that it would affect his image in Ruo Ruo's eyes, no one knew except him.
"Miss Ruoruo, I... I made a cake for you. Would you like to try it?" A young disciple from the Yuding Sect was holding a tray with a pile of cakes on it. They were small and exquisite. Not only were their designs unique, but the smell they exuded was also extremely tempting. The most important thing was that there seemed to be a faint aura on them. It was obvious at a glance that they were not ordinary cakes.
Yu Heyan breathed a sigh of relief because it was not Yu Hechen's voice.
He watched Ruoruo open the door and politely but distantly reject the young disciple.
"Why didn't Ruoruo accept it? But the cake doesn't suit my taste? I can..." Yu Heyan asked anxiously. But in fact, he was afraid that Ruoruo would accept the cake, which would make him jealous of the young disciple, but he was also afraid that Ruoruo would not accept it.
But when he found out that she really didn't accept it, he couldn't wait to test it.
But before he could finish, Ruoruo smiled and patted his arm.
"I haven't tasted it yet, so how can it be unpalatable? It's just that we don't interact much to begin with, so how can I take advantage of him and bother him?"
Before Yu Heyan's smile faded completely, she heard Ruo Ruo say, "Besides, if I like it, can't I ask you to make it for me? Haven't you sent me enough cakes these days?"
The familiar, unconventional tone of voice made it impossible for Yu Heyan to maintain his smile. It was undeniable that he once again felt jealous of Yu Hechen, but this time, unlike the previous jealousy, it was more of envy of Yu Hechen's health, which he could suppress with reason. This time, the jealousy was turbulent and fierce, all because of the girl's familiarity and intimacy with Yu Hechen.
"What? He Chen is unwilling? If I had known this would happen, I would have brought that young master back!" Ruo Ruo pretended to be dissatisfied, but one could tell at a glance that she was just joking.
Seeing Ruoruo like this, Yu Heyan subconsciously coaxed her: "Don't dare, don't dare. Let alone cakes, even if it's anything else, as long as I have it, I will definitely be willing to give it to you. Even if I don't have it, I will work hard to get it and give it to Ruoruo."
Ruo Ruo looked at him in surprise, as if she had just met him.
Yu Heyan then realized that he seemed to have said too much, and there were some things that Hechen could not say. But since he had said it, Yu Heyan actually felt a secret expectation in his heart.
But this expectation quickly vanished into thin air, and even turned into annoyance, because Ruo Ruo only nodded seriously and said, "Then I'll remember it. You know I hate it most when people deceive me!"
"I hate it most when someone deceives me..."
The few words were so powerful that they kept ringing in Yu and Yan's ears.
"I hate being deceived the most..."
"cheat……"
These words were like countless sharp swords, hovering in front of him, with the sword tips pointing directly at him, circling around him, about to fall but not yet.
The words he was about to say froze instantly, making it even more difficult for him to open his mouth.
"What if it was...what if it was an accident..." His expression was murky and his tone was full of temptation.
Ruo Ruo didn't take it seriously and just replied casually, "How can deception in this world be accidental? He Chen, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"I'm just scared..."
"Don't worry, there's nothing you can possibly do to deceive me."
Yes, Yu Hechen really had nothing that could deceive Ruo Ruo. But, he was not Yu Hechen!
Yu Heyan felt even more confused. After discovering that Ruoruo really hated deception, he had to completely give up the idea of confessing.
Just this time!
Just this time, as long as it's not exposed, no one will notice.
He can still face her with the best image, untainted by dust.
He thought that he needed to go back and get to know her again under a different identity.
As for what he had promised Yu Hechen, it didn't matter, because he wanted to get close to Ruoruo out of his heart, not because he wanted to meddle in his affairs, nor because he wanted to test his friends. He simply wanted to get to know Ruoruo, treat her well, make her happy, and give her everything he had.
What's more, he had deceived Yu Hechen before. Yu Hechen had always been very easy to coax and always seemed like a child who never grew up.
He comforted himself in this way.
However, the implementation of his idea was delayed again and again because he really couldn't bear to leave.
Ruoruo asked her to play chess with him, and he was reluctant to refuse. Ruoruo just smiled, and he sat down involuntarily and started playing chess.
Ruoruo asked her to help her see which dress looked good, and he was reluctant to refuse. In fact, whenever he thought that if he refused, the next person to be invited would be the real Yu Hechen, Yu Heyan felt a wave of pain in his heart.
He didn't want to leave, didn't want to make excuses about next time, and didn't want to miss any chance to be with Ruoruo.
Just this time!
Just pretend this time!
Yu and Yan silently swore in their hearts!
"How about this one?"
"Good! It's so elegant and graceful, and it makes Ruoruo look even more beautiful when she wears it."
"What about this one?"
"Great! This one is truly bright and eye-catching. The patterns on the edges are just right, adding a touch of elegance to the gorgeousness."
"What about this one?"
"good……"
Ruo Ruo asked questions enthusiastically, and Yu Heyan suppressed the bitterness in his heart and answered them earnestly. But with each word, Yu Heyan felt a growing bitterness in his heart. Because she wasn't asking him, but another man, a thief who didn't dare reveal his identity.
It was not until Ruoruo finally lost interest and suddenly asked him why he came back, as if she suddenly remembered, that he finally found a random excuse and left in a hurry.
