But she couldn't bear to leave, so she could only watch him from afar without saying a word.
Having broken free of her restraints, Lin Ruyun felt as if she had come back to life; what had just happened was truly terrifying.
After tidying her disheveled hair, Lin Ruyun took a closer look at this "lifesaver" who had just saved her and almost killed her.
A young man, probably in his early twenties, was looking in their direction. He was wearing a light purple robe embroidered with red flowers.
She wore a dark red jade pendant at her waist, the shape of which was unclear. She had outstanding looks and a cold expression, but he felt an inexplicable sense of closeness to her.
Judging from his clothes, he didn't seem to be a local. I didn't know why he had saved me, nor why he called me "brother."
"Thank you for saving me. May I ask your name, brother? My name is Lin Ruyun." Lin Ruyun asked with a puzzled look.
"Uh... Lin Ruyun, although it doesn't sound as good as before, it's still not bad."
"My name is Yi Chongxie." Yi Chongxie smiled shyly. Being treated so seriously by his older brother, Yi Chongxie suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
"I've never heard of this surname before. Judging from your appearance, you don't seem to be a local. May I ask what business you have here?"
Although this person saved me, it was already the middle of the night. How did he know that someone wanted to kill me, and why did he save me? I don't know if he is a friend or foe. It's best to be cautious.
"Nothing much, I just missed my brother and came to visit."
Yi Zhongxie chuckled and scratched his head, his gaze towards Lin Ruyun somewhat evasive.
His aloof face paired with his harmless, simple smile looked rather comical.
Lin Ruyun looked at him and felt an even stronger sense of familiarity, as if he had always been like this, and even knew what he was planning to do next. It was strange, he had never met this person before, so why was he so familiar with his every move?
Yi Chongxie knew he was confused, but he couldn't control himself. He had missed him terribly after so long apart. He had always loved following his brother around since he was little, doing whatever his brother did. Now that they had been separated for so long and he was in danger, it was inevitable that he was a little agitated. He would try to control himself in the future. He was a mortal now and didn't recognize him. It didn't matter. He would definitely help him get back as soon as possible. He would go and beg his father again.
"Young master, please don't be afraid. I'm really not a bad person. It's just that you and my elder brother look somewhat alike, which is why I was so abrupt. I hope you will understand. Farewell." In order not to arouse more suspicion, Yi Chongxie decided to leave first. Besides, he needed to ask his mother about what happened tonight. Thinking of what happened tonight, Yi Chongxie's smiling eyes suddenly turned cold.
In the blink of an eye, Yi Zhongxie disappeared from Lin Ruyun's sight.
I suddenly found it hard to open my eyes.
It turned out that Yi Chongxie had used hypnosis to put her into a deep sleep before leaving. Worried that his mortal brother couldn't withstand the cold, Yi Chongxie, who had already gone far away, returned to carry Lin Ruyun to bed, covered her with a blanket, blew out the candle, and waited in the dimly lit room until the rooster crowed before reluctantly leaving.
…………
Hearing the commotion outside early in the morning, Lin Ruyun, unable to sleep, had no choice but to ring the copper bell by her bedside to signal the servants outside to come in.
A boy in a blue shirt heard the bell and pushed open the door to enter.
"Young master is awake. I will help you with your washing and dressing now."
Lin Ruyun rubbed her slightly throbbing head and said:
"What's going on outside? Why is it so noisy?"
