Lin Yitang spoke as if it was a matter of course, with a nonchalant air that he hated, "It's almost time for dinner, I'm too lazy to go up."
Wen Hangxing: “…”
He was stunned, as if he hadn't heard clearly, "What?"
Lin Yitang found that the dining table had been set, and the dull mask on his face was instantly broken. A smile appeared on his face, and he stood up and walked over there.
Wen Hangxing looked at the happy smile on the woman's face, and remembered her coldness towards him. For some reason, he felt uncomfortable in his heart, so he gritted his teeth and followed her.
Lin Yitong didn't pay attention to him either, her mind was all on the food on the table. Although she was not a person who paid attention to appetite, she hadn't eaten for a whole day, so it was inevitable that she could not control her emotions when she saw the food.
Wen Hangxing felt a little regretful when he sat down. Looking at the person eating happily opposite him, his expression was gloomy.
The Wen family has always been silent while eating or sleeping. Wen Hangxing also started eating as if he was disappointed, and he ate more than usual.
There was a rare harmony and tranquility at the table.
Wen Hangxing noticed something was wrong while eating. He looked up and found Lin Yitang staring at him, his chin supported by his hand, with a hint of a smile on his lips.
He was rarely embarrassed and annoyed, and immediately put down his chopsticks.
Seeing this, Lin Yitang smiled, his eyes dimmed, and his clear voice was full of seriousness: "Although I know you don't really want to get along with me, I hope you can believe that I have no ill intentions, and I don't want you to feel uncomfortable in your own home because of me."
After saying that, he looked at the uneaten food of Wen Hangxing with obvious hint.
Wanting to conquer him is indeed Lin Yitang's top priority at the moment, but she clearly remembers what the system said, this world is still a real world. Even if Wen Hangxing pretends not to care, she can still feel his panic and helplessness.
Wen Hangxing thought she was just trying to save face again, mocking him for eating too much. He felt annoyed and wanted to stab her back as he did before, but he was stunned the moment he looked at her.
Lin Yitang sat in front of the light, her crystal clear eyes filled with bright stars, the corners of her mouth curved up with a soft and serious expression. There seemed to be light dancing around her, and her whole body was bright and warm.
Wen Hangxing turned his head and looked at her silently as if he was meeting her for the first time, neither agreeing nor refuting.
Lin Yitang was not in a hurry to believe him immediately. She stood up and planned to go to the garden to walk to digest the food. Looking at the ground temperature Hangxing across from her, she asked politely, "I'm going to walk in the garden, do you want to go?"
I thought I would be rejected, but unexpectedly the person nodded in agreement.
Lin Yitang: “…”Okay.
To call it a garden is a bit of a stretch. The estate covers a vast area, encompassing verdant mountains and clear waters. Along the banks of the stream, neatly arranged rows of willow trees, their lush green leaves swaying in the occasional breeze.
It was already night, the moon was hanging high in the sky, and the lights in the manor shone through the windows, flickering in the shadows of the trees, reflecting the stars and the moon in the sky, and reflected in the eyes of the two people walking.
Lin Yitang was wearing a long linen dress and walking slowly. Occasionally, the water-soaked grass brushed against her slender ankles. "Are there fireflies here at night?"
Wen Hangxing was following her leisurely. Upon hearing this, he hesitated and said, "Probably... yes."
"You haven't come out at night?" Lin Yitang's eyes flashed with surprise.
Wen Hangxing shook his head, then thought that she might not see him, and said in a calm tone, "No, I don't usually come back to live here." Then he seemed to remember something and quickly added, "Before you came, I didn't come back often either."
Asking further would involve privacy, so Lin Yitang fell silent.
Wen Hangxing breathed a sigh of relief, not knowing whether he felt melancholy or relieved.
The atmosphere between the two of them was quite harmonious at the moment. Lin Yitang asked as if he was chatting with a friend, "How are you doing in school?"
Wen Hangxing didn't understand why, but in order not to ruin the atmosphere, he replied simply, "Not bad."
"If someone bullies you, tell them." Lin Yitang said jokingly.
Wen Hangxing looked into the distance calmly, but the slightly pursed corners of his mouth revealed his current mood, making him seem far less calm than he appeared.
"Let's go back." Lin Yitang yawned, as if he didn't take what he just said to heart.
The cold moonlight sprinkled on the ground, and two shadows slowly turned back, one tall and one short, one in front and one behind, distant and isolated, yet seemed particularly harmonious.
Wen Hangxing looked at the shining figure in front of him and suddenly felt that the manor was not as cold as he had thought before.
Summer weather is so unpredictable. Yesterday it was sunny and clear, but today it is overcast, with a biting cold wind and soon the sound of a drizzle can be heard.
Lin Yitang woke up in a daze. In her previous life, she was a ballet dancer and spent time practicing in the dance studio every day. Now she was sitting on the bed, remembering sleepily that she should go to practice. When she opened her eyes and saw the familiar yet unfamiliar ornaments, she was stunned for a moment and suddenly realized that she was no longer in the original world.
He went downstairs in silence, sat alone at the dining table, looked at the breakfast for one person on the table, and asked, "Is Wen Hangxing gone?"
"Yes, the young master left early in the morning." The butler replied.
Maybe it was because of the weather, or maybe it was for some other unknown reason, but her appetite didn't seem to be very good today. She only ate a little and asked someone to take away breakfast.
The housekeeper saw this and felt a little worried. He stepped forward and asked, "Madam, are you feeling unwell today?"
Lin Yitang smiled and shook his head, "Uncle Liu, can you decorate a ballet studio?"
The butler was surprised to hear Lin Yitang's sudden request, but his professionalism kept his voice respectful and gentle. "Okay, ma'am. I'll go down and make the arrangements."
Lin Yitang understood that her abrupt request might cause some unnecessary speculation, but she had already thought about it. Since she couldn't behave exactly like the original owner, she might as well subtly influence others to accept her personality while everyone was still unfamiliar with her. After all, even if someone noticed something was wrong, they wouldn't be able to provide evidence, right?
The dance studio would take some time to build, so there wasn't much to do today. Lin Yitang looked out the window at the raindrops, feeling a bit cold, and asked the servant to bring her a coat.
The housekeeper noticed her dullness and took the initiative to suggest, "Madam, why don't you go to the private cinema on the first floor underground to watch a movie."
There was no other way, Lin Yitang nodded indifferently.
The cinema is a double theater with reclining chairs, underfloor heating, and is surrounded by sound insulation cotton, providing excellent privacy.
Lin Yitang felt the warmth as soon as she walked in. She lay on the chair, holding a cup of hot tea, with a thin blanket carefully prepared by the housekeeper beside her.
Lin Yitang felt sleepy and fell asleep again.
