Chapter 155 She is my family
As it got darker, Ye Lanzhou also went out and went to Zhuque Street.
It is a very cold day today, and it is unusually cold in the capital, but there are many people on the streets, as well as many small vendors, so it is quite lively looking around.
She entered the Wanhe Tower gate. Lin Yan was sitting at the counter. Seeing Ye Lanzhou coming, he was not shy at all and said, "The usual place is on the top floor. Go straight there, young lady."
The old place he mentioned was the place where Xie Chengyan took her to see Mingyi's wedding procession. Because it was on the top floor, it was relatively quiet. Xie Chengyan seemed to go there every time he came.
She greeted Lin Yan and then went upstairs by herself. Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned into the stairs, she was bumped into by someone who had just come downstairs. She screamed, and the person opposite her quickly reached out to support her.
He was tall and thin, but his hands were very strong.
Ye Lanzhou raised his head and met the eyes of the person opposite him.
That's Chu Xiu.
We haven't met since the last time we met at Wanhe Tower. The last time we met was very quick. Now that Chu Xiu is so close, the memories of that year have become clearer.
To be honest, she and Chu Xiu were not close friends, and they had only met once in the backyard of the Ye Mansion. However, Chu Xiu's face was a little too handsome, a kind of beauty between that of a woman and a man.
At this moment's distance between them, his face was clearer than in his memory, with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, and a high nose bridge. However, his eyes seemed to have undergone subtle changes. The eyes in his memory were clear and bright, with the youthful vigor and vitality, but now they seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, and were bottomless.
He seemed to be thinner than before, and his skin was so pale that it was almost transparent, but he did not look feminine at all, instead he had a sharp beauty.
"I think we've met before." Chu Xiu steadied her and said softly, "You've used my sword before."
Ye Lanzhou then realized that he wasn't wearing his inspection uniform today, nor was he carrying his sword. Standing here, he looked more like someone who was just there for a drink.
Ye Lanzhou nodded and followed the way everyone had called him that day, calling out, "Master Chu."
Chu Xiu's gaze lingered on her face for a moment, then he asked, "Have we met before?"
He asked again, and Ye Lanzhou nodded and said, "On the day when the princess was sent to get married—"
"I mean even earlier." Chu Xiu interrupted Ye Lanzhou. His voice was low, as if he was trying to evoke some memories.
Should I tell her? But now that she has a special status, the various factions in the court are all operating independently, and Chu Xiu might not be on her side...
While he was thinking, a bony hand rested on Ye Lanzhou's shoulder.
"Why do you say that, Lord Chu?" Xie Chengyan's voice rang out, and Ye Lanzhou's whole body stiffened. He seemed to be walking without making any sound, and his arm came up suddenly, which scared her.
Xie Chengyan mistakenly thought that Ye Lanzhou was resisting him, so he secretly pressed her shoulder with his fingers, and the strength of his palm gradually increased, making it impossible for her to break free.
Chu Xiu lowered his eyelids slightly, and as he bowed, he glanced at Xie Chengyan. Ye Lanzhou didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that their relationship was very subtle. It wasn't because of her, but rather a lingering entanglement from history.
"Greetings, His Royal Highness Prince Rui." Chu Xiu's voice was as calm as water.
Xie Chengyan smiled and waved his hand, motioning him to excuse himself. He turned to look at Ye Lanzhou again and said, "This is my daughter-in-law, the doctor who has been staying at my house. Where did you go to meet her, Lord Chu? Did you recognize the wrong person?"
