Du Yinyun didn't have time to answer Sister Jiang's question right now because she discovered that He Yunxiao was not satisfied with the status quo and was even trying to do some excessive things.
This startled her so much that she quickly wrote something on the back of He Yunxiao's hand.
"Young master, no."
He Yunxiao transmitted his voice, "What do you mean it's not okay?"
"hand."
"If your hands aren't suitable, what else can you do?"
"Nothing else will do."
"I won't force you if you don't like the sound."
"No."
He Yunxiao noticed Du Meimei's conflicted emotions and found them quite amusing. He really liked the current state of things; this bittersweet feeling was exactly what being in love felt like.
He Yunxiao knew that given Du Meimei's "simp" attitude towards him, there would be no problem even if he was a little impatient or forceful.
But he didn't want to do that. Because he genuinely liked, cared about, and respected Sister Du.
However, He Yunxiao also knew that Du Yinyun's reason for refusing was not because she didn't like it, but simply because Sister Jiang was there.
He transmitted his voice, "Because of Sister Jiang?"
Du Yinyun wrote: "Hmm."
"She can't see me. I'm hiding under the covers, she doesn't know."
After saying this, the attacking army attempted to advance again.
At this point, Sister Du began to hesitate.
"Can……"
He Yunxiao said, "Sister Jiang is trying to trick you into revealing information. Focus your attention on dealing with her."
Du Meimei has always been very obedient.
Since the young master said to concentrate on dealing with the platitudes, then let's put everything else aside and just focus on dealing with Sister Jiang.
But the current Du Meimei is a weakened Du Meimei.
Even with focused concentration, dealing with the devilish Sister Jiang was still extremely difficult.
Jiang Wuyou did not rush Du Yinyun to answer the question; on the contrary, she waited very patiently.
"Yinyun, He Yunxiao told me before that he wanted to marry you, so why don't you marry him?"
Du Yinyun gritted her teeth and said, "No, that's not good."
Don't you like him?
"I don't like it."
"You just said you like him, did I hear you wrong?"
"Surely, my sister must have misheard."
Jiang Wuyou looked at Du Yinyun's flushed cheeks and didn't think there was anything wrong with her slightly hesitant speech. It's perfectly normal for people to have difficulty speaking when they're nervous.
It was getting late, practically the middle of the night, and Jiang Wuyou just wanted to add fuel to the fire and resolve the matter of He Yunxiao and Du Yinyun's relationship as soon as possible. If they truly liked each other, she would be happy to play matchmaker.
“I remember that at the time, Sister Yinyun said, ‘If Young Master He were at the academy, I would be willing to marry him.’”
"No. I never said I wanted to marry him."
Jiang Wuyou nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, you mean 'like him'."
No, not at all.
"Yes, I remember now. You said 'I hate He Yunxiao'."
“I don’t dislike you, young master.”
Jiang Wuyou smiled slyly.
Young Master? Not even a surname? Calling him so intimately, and you say you don't like it?
"Not disliking it means you like it, right?"
Du Yinyun's heart was pounding like a rabbit's; her body was sending out so many signals that her mind was in complete disarray.
This time, Jiang Wuyou finally managed to ensnare them.
“Yes,” she said.
Jiang Wuyou revealed a triumphant smile, "So that means you like He Yunxiao?"
Du Meimei was already at her limit, and said very reluctantly, "No, I don't like it."
"You don't like He Yunxiao, but you like your 'young master'?"
"Um."
"You really like it?"
"Um."
"Who is this 'young master'? He Yunxiao?"
"Um."
Du Meimei was almost crying from being bullied.
Sometimes she knew she shouldn't agree, but right now, she was like a taut bowstring. At this moment, her mouth could only utter an "um" and nothing else.
Pressing her advantage, Jiang Wuyou asked directly, "If He Yunxiao were to marry you, would you marry him?"
"Um."
After Du Yinyun finished speaking, she suddenly shrugged her shoulders, her whole body trembled, and she began to sob and cry.
Jiang Wuyou tenderly embraced the girl.
She quickly comforted her, saying, "Good sister, don't cry. Why are you crying?"
Du Yinyun didn't speak, she just kept crying.
Du Meimei wasn't really sad; she just lost control of her emotions for a moment. People who haven't cried in a long time can't stop crying once they start.
Sister Jiang leaned closer, and He Yunxiao, who was hiding under the covers, didn't get too close anymore.
He, the culprit, was secretly rejoicing.
Luckily, I had with me a consolation prize for the failed attempt to "remove the falling flowers"—an embroidered handkerchief. This was enough to save the water in time; otherwise, it would have been a much bigger problem.
It's a pity I can't get the handkerchief back yet. I was hoping to keep it as a souvenir.
...
Jiang Wuyou gently patted Du Meimei's back, not caring that her bodice was soaked with Du Meimei's tears.
She could understand why Du Meimei suddenly cried.
Among them may be the joy of leaving Chunfeng Tower and being reborn at Lujiao Academy.
It's also possible that they might feel ashamed because they were forced to reveal the name of the person they like.
There might even be a little bit of guilt.
Jiang Wuyou could understand this sense of guilt. In her view, Du Yinyun had always been arrogant, while He Yunxiao was anything but arrogant. This feeling arises when you let go of your arrogance and pick up what you once despised.
But actually, Sister Jiang was overthinking it.
The main reason Du Meimei cried was that her pent-up emotions were suddenly released, and she couldn't hold back anymore. In addition, she had been trying to be "strong" for a long time, and hadn't shown any emotion since the incident at home, so she hadn't cried for a long time. Therefore, this time when she started crying, it was uncontrollable.
