Will you pledge yourself to me?
The incense sticks in the incense burner have burned to the end, and the tiny flames have disappeared completely.
It was already dusk, the rain outside the window had stopped and the clouds had dispersed, the sky was as pale as glass.
Yuan Xuanlang opened his eyes and a tear ran down his face. The sudden and inexplicable grief just now tugged at his heart.
He rubbed his eyes and saw the water stains on his fingers, revealing a disgusted expression. Tsk, a real man shouldn't shed tears easily, but he actually cried. It was such a disgrace to his wise and brave image. Fortunately, he was not seen by those guys.
Alas, is my junior sister born in the year of the dog? She bites whatever she catches.
Also, why did Junior Sister have such a strange and terrifying dream, with prisons, blood, and battle formations... Could it be that she has read too many storybooks?
Suddenly realizing that his left hand was still holding Lin Yuan's, he immediately let go, dropping a yellow talisman paper. He picked up the talisman paper and thought to himself, "Dream-entering Talisman, I didn't expect this method to actually work."
He had seen records of the dream-entering talisman in Ximo Tower. To use the dream-entering talisman, the paper on which the talisman was drawn had to be stained with the dreamer's blood. The talisman would only be effective if the dreamer and the dreamer held it together, and the talisman would last for the duration of one stick of incense.
He turned his head to look at Lin Yuan, who was sleeping soundly, so he breathed a sigh of relief and returned to his room.
The water in the copper washbasin reflected Yuan Xuanlang's face. There was no trace of scar on his pale lips, and he felt inexplicably melancholy.
He said to himself that he was probably affected by her dream and would be fine after a good sleep.
The next day, as the sun rose in the east, Lin Yuan slept until she woke naturally. She felt refreshed and couldn't help but sigh, "I haven't slept this well in a long time!"
But the next second, the memory of yesterday came flooding back, and the smile on her face shattered like porcelain.
She smiled bitterly and said that she shouldn't have any expectations - so what if she is alone, the earth will not explode and she will not die.
If I still missed those two people, my surname wouldn’t be Lin.
She glanced at a piece of paper on the table, which contained the recipe for Xiao Chaihu Decoction and was signed by "Pei Sizhou".
Who was Pei Sizhou? He must be a doctor. But she also wrote down the recipe. Then what? It went into her favorites, gathering dust.
It seems that memorizing alone is not enough; we must also put it into practice. As the saying goes, "Knowledge gained through writing is always shallow; true understanding comes from personal practice."
After washing and getting ready, he left the house, went to Wuweixuan for breakfast, and then went to class.
During class, someone would always glance at her, and I knew who it was without even looking.
After the class was over, Zhao Qianxue came to find her as expected, "Lin Yuan, have you calmed down a bit?..."
Lin Yuan looked up at her and gave her a perfect smile. Zhao Qianxue's eyes lit up, but then dimmed quickly as she heard Lin Yuan say, "Senior Sister Zhao, if you're here to negotiate peace, please go back. Gu Pan'er's eyes are about to pierce me."
Zhao Qianxue turned around and saw Gu Paner looking at them. Even a blind person could see the hostility in her eyes.
Gu Paner stood up and walked in front of Lin Yuan, looking down at her, proud and cold like a red rose: "Don't disturb us, I feel sick when I see you."
The first thing Lin Yuan felt was not anger, but rather surprise at her simple and straightforward "hateful words". It turned out that it had already come to this.
She laughed, "I'm quite happy with it. The smell of your incense makes me sick."
Everyone around gasped. How audacious it was for Gu Paner, the daughter of the Qingzhou prefect, to be so rude to them! They all watched in silence.
Gu Paner's face was humiliated in front of everyone, and she immediately became angry and embarrassed. She pushed Zhao Qianxue away, raised her hand and slapped her.
Lin Yuan was stunned for a second, then he fell backwards and subconsciously supported himself with his hands, but unexpectedly he was supported by a strong arm.
Before she could turn around and look back, she saw a hand grab Gu Paner's wrist and throw it back. A clear voice rang out from above her head: "Junior sister, are you okay?"
Is it Yuan Xuanlang? Lin Yuan sat up straight, looked up to confirm, and shook her head. "Nothing."
She spoke calmly, but to Yuan Xuanlang, she sounded a little aggrieved.
"Miss Gu, were you going to hit my junior sister just now?" Yuan Xuanlang narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of danger in his tone.
"Yuan, Senior Brother Yuan, I was just practicing martial arts with my junior sister." Gu Pan'er felt a little guilty.
"Oh? Really? Junior sister isn't good at martial arts, how about I, her senior brother, take her place?" He replied with a forced smile.
Lin Yuan curled her lips and said, "Just help me, why are you belittling me?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Qianxue stepped in front of Gu Paner and said sincerely, "Junior Sister Lin... I'm sorry, Paner was a little impulsive. Junior Sister, please don't bother with her."
Gu Paner shouted angrily, "Zhao Qianxue! Why are you apologizing to her?"
You are the daughter of the Zhao family, how can you bow down to a humble commoner?!
"Oh - that's right, you should apologize." Yuan Xuanlang pretended to be enlightened and pointed the scabbard at Gu Paner, the threat in his intention was obvious.
He was serious, yet also as carefree as usual.
Gu Pan'er was both frightened and annoyed, her lips trembling slightly, but she maintained her composure in front of Senior Brother Yuan. Facing Lin Yuan, she said stiffly, "I'm sorry, Junior Sister Lin."
Lin Yuan smiled slightly, but with a cold expression: "It's okay. It's not about being without mistakes that is valuable, but about being able to correct them."
Gu Paner's body stiffened.
Yuan Xuanlang smiled, yet it made people shudder: "This is just the first time, it won't happen again."
Then he took Lin Yuan's arm and said in a light tone, "Let's go."
Lin Yuan pulled her arm back: "Don't pull me, don't pull me, I can walk by myself."
Gu Paner looked at the two people leaving, her eyes filled with jealousy and unwillingness.
The onlookers whispered to each other.
"Whatever you say! Watch your tongues!"
After Gu Paner finished yelling, the onlookers fell silent and dispersed one by one.
Walking slowly on the stone path, the trees are lush and the air after the rain is fresh and pleasant, as if it has washed away all the filth of yesterday.
Lin Yuan asked, "Brother, why are you here? Shouldn't you be practicing swordplay?"
Yuan Xuanlang joked, "If I hadn't come, my good junior sister would have been bullied."
Lin Yuan was not convinced: "Ha, I will be bullied by her?"
Yuan Xuanlang didn't mention what happened yesterday to refute her. He put his elbow on her shoulder and said, "Next time she does this again, tell me directly and I'll get someone to beat her up!"
The way he supported his brother seemed to radiate the light of justice, and his face was full of words saying "Come and kneel down to thank me."
Lin Yuan paused in surprise, then smiled, her brows relaxed, and fireworks exploded in her heart: "Don't engage in school violence - okay, I will definitely do it next time. Was it my senior who sent me back to the house yesterday?"
She looked up at Yuan Xuanlang and discovered that he had changed into a scarlet brocade suit with a fine cloud pattern. The golden cloud pattern was embroidered on the hem and cuffs, and he had a black belt with animal patterns tied around his waist. His black hair was half loose and half tied, with two red hairbands fluttering leisurely on it.
The morning light poured in, and his black hair was outlined with a golden edge by the sunlight.
He looked elegant and dignified in the red he wore, but not as gaudy and vulgar as Yu Liushang.
He smiled carefreely, "It's your good brother! Are you moved to tears?"
What he said made people want to punch him. It can be said that he had a good appearance but it was all ruined by his mouth.
Lin Yuan smiled and nodded, agreeing, "I was indeed moved to tears."
Yuan Xuanlang then said something provocative, "Instead of thanking me verbally, why not pledge your love to me?"
