It was still that handsome and elegant face, with a straight nose, sharp edges and a cold outline, but those deep eyes had a burning depth. Yu Jiao was a little flustered. After saying this, she lowered her eyes to avoid his sight, and missed the thick and suppressed emotions in Yu Qizhe's eyes.
Yu Qizhe looked at her quietly, restraining his surging desires and hiding them. He greedily wrapped his eyes around her figure without making a sound, and smiled faintly, "Thank you for your concern, sister."
Yu Jiao was stunned for a moment, the word "sister" kept echoing in her ears, and the sadness that she had deliberately suppressed in an unknown corner suddenly surged out.
This seemed to be the first time Yu Qizhe called her like this, as if the two of them had never been close before, never had any love beyond that of siblings, always... just siblings.
Yu Jiao still couldn't let go of a trace of resentment. Her almond-shaped eyes were covered with a layer of mist. She raised her head again, and looked directly at Yu Qizhe with her watery eyes, as if she saw him clearly just now.
Born with a pair of peach blossom eyes, it is said that such people seem affectionate but are actually fickle, indifferent and rational in nature.
It was her nature. Yu Jiao pinched her soft palm with her fingernails, pursed her lips and smiled slightly, "I was busy at home a few days ago, so I couldn't come to send my fifth brother to the Imperial Examination Hall. Please don't be offended, fifth brother."
The words were polite but distant. Yu Fuling felt uncomfortable when she heard them. She said, "The knee pads you sent to Qi Zhe are strong and warm. It was cold at night in the Imperial Examination Hall those days. Thanks to your careful preparation of knee pads for Zhe."
Yu Zhizhou was unaware of the turmoil in the middle, and he just said happily, "Master Chen will stay in the capital for a while, but he can't leave people in Qiyun County. After the palace examination is over, I will return to Qingzhou and bring the good news that Qizhe passed the exam to my second uncle and others."
Yu Zhizhou's words disrupted the strange and depressing atmosphere in the hall.
He had mentioned this to Yu Jiao before. Manager Zhou was out, and Chen Yu had to wait in the capital until the paper shop business stabilized before leaving. Yu Zhizhou had to go back to look after the paper mill in Xixun County. Yu Fuling's wedding was coming up soon, so they were going to return to Qingzhou together.
Thinking that Yu Fuling would be returning to Qingzhou to get married soon, and not knowing when they would meet again in the future, Yu Jiao felt a little reluctant. She thought she should prepare a dowry gift for Yu Fuling, and she made a note of this matter in her heart.
Just then, Mrs. Song brought in wine and food. It was obvious that they had already prepared to celebrate before Yu Jiao and Liu Yaoyu came over.
Yu Fuling explained, "Early in the morning, officials came to announce the good news. Neighbors kept coming to visit, and Master Mu also sent people over. I didn't have time to eat. It just so happened that you and the second young lady came over. I was planning to go to your house and tell you!"
Yu Jiao smiled, but did not sit at the table with Yao Yu. She said, "My second sister and I just came over after dinner. Mother prepared a gift for us to deliver. Since you haven't eaten yet, we won't bother you."
After she finished speaking, she stood up and was about to leave.
Yu Fuling couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable when she heard her say this. In the past, Yu Jiao had never been so distant from them that she even had to bother them.
But she couldn't do anything about the matter between Qi Zhe and Yu Jiao. After trying to persuade her to stay, she realized that she couldn't keep Yu Jiao, so she could only say, "Then I'll take you there."
Yu Qizhe stood up at this time and said, "Sister, I'll go and see you off."
His voice was as calm as always, and no emotion could be heard.
Yu Jiao glanced at him, and seeing that he had no expression on his face, she lowered her brows.
Yu Fuling was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, go ahead." She hoped that the two of them could reconcile, so she was naturally happy to see Yu Qizhe take the initiative.
