Chapter 191 "I can't promise you."...
Wen Yu tightened her lips and looked very serious, as if she would not give up unless Song Linsheng explained the reason.
Song Linsheng paused as he straightened her collar, his eyes averted as he looked at Wen Yu. "I..."
"You?" Wen Yu followed Song Linsheng's words and waited for his next words calmly. Anyway, no matter what Song Linsheng said, he would not fool her.
"I was afraid that something might happen at Guanwuyuan, so I wanted to keep watch at Guanwuyuan."
Song Linsheng's eyelashes trembled, and the moonlight shining on his eye sockets was like a piece of bright jade.
"But you won't allow it... and I'm afraid of causing you trouble, so I can only turn back." Song Linsheng stopped avoiding her and looked directly at Wen Yu. "But I can't rest easy, so I'll wait here. If anything goes wrong, I can rush to Guanwuyuan to find you in time."
After saying this, Song Linsheng lowered his head even lower, his hands sliding down to his sides. He suddenly became like a kite with a broken string, and the aura around him also dropped sharply.
He didn't want Xiaoyu to think that he was stubborn and wouldn't listen to advice, but when he returned to the study, he was always worried. If he went there again, he was worried that he would cause trouble for Xiaoyu.
He couldn't go forward or backward. After thinking for a while, he could only pace back and forth in the courtyard. It was really... useless.
He knew that he and Xiaoyu... were not as close together as they seemed now. There was an invisible chasm between them, separating them. He wanted to cross it, but he was afraid of Xiaoyu on the other side...
Wen Yu opened her mouth but no sound came out.
Song Linsheng...
She let him go back, but he was worried and stayed in the yard and refused to go into the house. He listened to her and didn't come to look for her, but he was afraid that he would not be able to find her in time.
Wen Yu's eyes became hot and her nose felt sore. She didn't know what to say.
Song Linsheng...what a fool.
Wen Yu blinked, trying to calm herself down, and then lifted Song Linsheng's cheeks with both hands, making him look directly at her.
Seeing her own face reflected in Song Linsheng's eyes, Wen Yu said seriously, "Song Linsheng, you are so kind."
Song Linsheng's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he seemed to freeze when he heard the words, staring at Wen Yu without blinking.
He felt the warmth coming from both sides of his cheeks. It was Xiaoyu's unique body temperature, and just a little bit of it was enough to dispel the cold wind in the middle of the night.
Wen Yu noticed his changes. The usually elegant Mr. Song now looked like a clean and innocent goose.
She was delighted and could not help but rubbed Song Linsheng's cheeks vigorously, and said:
"But you are not allowed to harm your body for anyone." Wen Yu said this from the bottom of her heart, with great sincerity, "Including me."
Song Lin was born with a mortal body. If he tortured himself like this every time, how could his body bear it?
Wen Yu puffed out her cheeks. She came to the mortal world just to ensure Song Linsheng's health, safety and well-being. There was absolutely no reason for him to worry about her.
"I--" Song Linsheng frowned, wanting to say something but stopping himself, but refused to answer.
"Promise me." Wen Yu saw that the situation was not good, so she hurriedly urged him. Song Linsheng always responded to her.
Why are you hesitating this time?
Song Linsheng hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed, seemingly compromising but saying solemnly: "I can't promise you."
When Wen Yu heard this, she was stunned for a moment.
Song Linsheng had never said any words like "can't", "can't" or "maybe" to her, but now it was the first time in his life, and it was really...strange.
Wen Yu blinked, still not coming back to her senses.
Song Linsheng then changed the subject and continued before Wen Yu could refute him:
"Xiaoyu, but I will try my best to protect myself."
Protect yourself first, then you will have the energy to protect others.
But if this other person is Xiaoyu, then I can give her up.
Song Linsheng looked at Wen Yu solemnly, without revealing what he was thinking.
Wen Yu nodded unconsciously and no longer cared about the sentence "I can't agree". Song Linsheng always keeps his word, so since he gave such an answer, he would take it seriously.
She wasn't worried, but...
Wen Yu slowly withdrew his hand, feeling something was wrong in his heart.
Song Linsheng raised his sleeve and took hold of Wen Yu's wrist, then asked softly, "What about you, Xiaoyu?"
How could he walk alone outside without a lamp and without anyone accompanying him?
He didn't say everything so as not to embarrass Xiaoyu.
If she was willing to talk to him, he would naturally be a qualified listener.
Wen Yu let out a long breath upon hearing this, and became completely dejected.
She raised her sleeve and held Song Linsheng's hand, pulling him to the corridor. She sat down on the edge and made sure that the place was sheltered from the night wind before she spoke slowly.
"I couldn't sleep, so I went out for a walk."
This was the truth, and she did not hide or distort anything.
Song Linsheng turned sideways towards Wen Yu, taking in the discouragement in her eyes. After some thought, he carefully asked, "But...what happened to Miss Yingying?"
Just now Xiaoyu said that she wanted to live with Miss Yingying in Guanwuyuan, but now she appears here alone, which makes people suspicious.
What's more, he already knew Miss Yingying's identity...
Wen Yu was originally staring at her toes, but when she heard the words, she turned to look at Song Linsheng. She didn't know that Song Linsheng would be so perceptive and could get to the key point with just one sentence.
"I..." Wen Yu hesitated, not knowing whether she should tell Song Linsheng what had just happened.
The two of them sat under the corridor, and the gentle moonlight poured down, covering Song Linsheng's body, making the expression between his eyebrows even more handsome and gentle.
However, in this Song residence, if she doesn't tell Song Linsheng, who else can she tell?
As if possessed by some mysterious force, Wen Yu no longer hesitated.
"Actually, Miss Yingying..."
Wen Yu talked about everything, no matter how big or small, and Song Linsheng listened attentively. The moon accompanied him silently, and the wind was unwilling to come to disturb him.
Of course, Wen Yu concealed the fact that she used her magic power to resonate with the Dingyuan Lock. These were just minor details and it didn't matter if they were omitted.
"You mean... this Miss Yingying is actually a man." Song Linsheng frowned, seeming surprised.
"Yes." Wen Yu nodded, then sighed helplessly, "How could this be?"
After finishing speaking, Wen Yu looked at Song Linsheng's face which was lost in thought, and added a sentence belatedly.
"I mean… I-I'm scared."
Now she was just Wen Yu in front of Song Linsheng, not a disciple of the God of Spring, nor a thousand-year-old tree demon. There was no reason for her not to be afraid.
Song Linsheng's eyes slid, his gaze focused on Wen Yu's face, and he replied solemnly: "Xiao Yu, don't worry."
"Now it seems, Miss Yingying... Yu Chang has no ill intentions." Song Linsheng pondered, looking at the empty courtyard gate. "You came out alone, and he didn't chase you closely. I think nothing will happen."
Having said that, Song Linsheng still glanced around vigilantly——
Apart from the sound of wind and moonlight, there was indeed no other sound.
"In that case, you should stay here tonight and don't return to Guanwu Courtyard." Song Linsheng pondered, his frown revealing his current uneasiness. "Tomorrow morning, I'll go see him and we'll discuss this matter again."
After all, it was agreed that the Wen family's eldest son's curse of losing his mind would be removed tomorrow, and Yu Chang did not refuse. Since he was a powerful demon with profound cultivation, he would surely not break his promise easily.
Song Linsheng paused, these were just his guesses, and he was afraid that things would go against his wishes.
Looking at Xiaoyu in front of him, he felt frustrated and powerless for the first time.
When he was in Shangdu in the past, he was always the center of attention and naturally had more arrogance than others. But now, all that was nothing and of no practical use.
Song Linsheng's eyes darkened. He was always unable to protect Xiaoyu from the wind and rain or calm her down when she needed him.
Thinking of Xiaoyu's instructions just now, Song Linsheng felt even more sad.
Even... Xiaoyu has to look after him all the time.
Seeing that Song Linsheng was distracted, Wen Yu grabbed his wrist and shook it hard.
"Song Linsheng?" Wen Yu waved her other hand in front of Song Linsheng's eyes. "I'm with you."
She would never let Song Linsheng take the risk and go alone.
Song Linsheng collected his thoughts and looked down at his wrist which was tightly held by Wen Yu. Somehow, the point of contact seemed to give him endless strength and tremendous courage.
"Well, let's go together."
Even if it was extremely difficult, he would stand by Xiaoyu.
The wind gradually died down, but the moonlight remained.
Wen Yu and Song Linsheng sat side by side in the corridor, holding hands and looking at the same sky. They saw sparse stars and a heavy night.
…
The next day, we visited Wuyuan.
Wen Yu folded his arms, frowned, and looked at the flower-draped archway of Guanwu Courtyard from afar.
It is still as lush and beautiful as ever, worthy of being the face of her Guanwuyuan.
But the door that she loved most in the past now seemed like a gateway to a desperate situation, making her feel daunted.
Wen Yu took a deep breath and kept encouraging herself in her heart. This feeling was even more uncomfortable than being caught by her master for skipping class in the Spring Temple. She couldn't bear it.
The master won’t really bother with her, but as for Yu Chang… it’s hard to say.
After all, there was such a commotion last night, and we don’t know what the situation is like in Guanwuyuan right now!
Empty? That's possible.
Then how can we eradicate the curse of Wen Jia Dalang's loss of mind?
Song Linsheng followed from behind and stood side by side with Wen Yu, taking in her hidden anxiety.
"Xiaoyu, it's okay." Song Linsheng lowered his head and spoke softly, trying to make Xiaoyu feel more at ease. "Let's go in and take a look first."
Upon hearing this, Wen Yu looked up at Song Linsheng. When their eyes met, she secretly cheered herself up in her heart.
It’s okay, it’s better to face it head-on than to be timid.
She couldn't show her weakness in front of Song Linsheng.
What's more, she has her master in charge of the Spring Temple, so what does she have to be afraid of!
Thinking this way, Wen Yu raised his foot and walked straight to Guanwu Courtyard.
Wen Yu brushed the branches of flowers hanging from the archway with one hand, and leaned inside. The situation at the end of the courtyard gradually appeared before Wen Yu's eyes.
this……
Wen Yu paused and couldn't help but look up at the sky.
The sun rises in the east, the dawn breaks, the pale blue sky is just beginning to turn pale, and the birds in the trees are still sleeping peacefully in their nests...
She deliberately chose an early hour to get up, in order to avoid the crowd and go to Guanwuyuan to check on Yu Chang's situation first.
But right now...
Mr. Zhou, Xiyan, and Yanzi were all waiting in Guanwu Courtyard. Wen Yu looked at the people in the yard and froze, feeling a little at a loss.
Song Linsheng followed from behind and saw Wen Yu stopped, so he raised his sleeves and walked into the door, wondering:
"Xiaoyu? What's the matter?"
But before he finished speaking, he heard someone exclaim.
"Madam Wen? Young Master?"
——It was like a bolt from the blue.
Song Linsheng looked over in the direction of the voice and, as expected, met Xiyan's horrified gaze.
"Wash the inkstone." Song Linsheng frowned. Why was he so surprised?
Wen Yu looked around at the people around him and nodded to each of them as a greeting, but he didn't know whether to go forward.
Faced with Xiyan's shouting, she was also a little confused.
"Madam Wen! Young Master!" Xiyan took a few quick steps, as if he wanted to turn his back to Yan Zi and Zhou Lehui.
"What are you doing?" Wen Yu looked at Xi Yan making faces and became even more confused.
Xiyan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and was surprised. He crossed one hand across his chest, quietly pointed at the bedroom door, and lowered his voice.
"Master! Why did you come back with Madam Wen?" Instead of asking Wen Yu, he pointed the finger at his own master.
After all, he had been guarding Guanwu Courtyard since before dawn, but he had never seen Madam Wen go out.
Xiyan frowned. Could it be that he was seeing things?
Song Linsheng was stunned when he heard this, and then he understood.
Of course he knew what Xi Yan meant, but here...
Song Linsheng looked up at Mr. Zhou and Yan Zi who were looking puzzled behind him, and he didn't know how to answer.
"I……"
"Song Linsheng and I were together last night!" After Xiyan finished speaking, Wen Yu smiled with relief. She thought it was something else!
She rested in Song Linsheng's study last night, and didn't she come here with Song Linsheng this morning?
After saying that, Wen Yu turned around and looked at the dark circles under Song Linsheng's eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little sorry.
She slept well in the second half of the night, but it was a pity that Song Linsheng sat at the table in the outer room all night, insisting on keeping watch for her.
"So that's how it is." Xiyan nodded repeatedly, as if he had suddenly understood something.
But he immediately understood and was shocked, "What!"
"Xiyan!" Song Linsheng shouted softly, frowning and signaling Xiyan to shut up.
He rarely spoke in such a harsh tone, and certainly not in front of others.
So Xiyan suddenly shrank his neck and then really stopped talking, but his eyes were wide open and he could hardly hide the shock on his face.
Wen Yu glanced at the inkstone in confusion, not feeling anything was wrong.
"Xiyan, what are you doing squatting in Guanwu Courtyard so early in the morning?"
This is what Wen Yu is puzzled about.
He stayed up so late last night, and got up so early today? She didn't even have time to go and see Yu Chang first.
Zhou Lehui turned his gaze, which had been averted when Xi Yan was talking, back to Wen Yu. When he heard her ask this question, he stepped forward and explained:
"Madam Wen, I'm worried about you, so I asked Xiyan to lead the way." Zhou Lehui nodded gently and signaled to Wen Yu, "Don't we have to go today to... to remove the curse for the eldest son of the Wen family?"
"I was really worried, so I wanted to come here earlier to wait for you." After saying that, Zhou Lehui's eyes flickered and his face was embarrassed. "Madam Wen, please forgive me for laughing."
Wen Yu understood immediately and responded quickly for fear that Mr. Zhou would be embarrassed.
"It's nothing! Mr. Zhou, you're welcome. It just so happens that everyone is here."
Wen Yu turned around and looked at Song Linsheng. Song Linsheng nodded slightly, then turned to wash the inkstone.
"Xiyan, what I told you last night——"
"Oh! Young Master!" Xi Yan immediately realized, "I sent an invitation to the Wen residence early this morning, inviting Master Wen to a chat. Madam Wen has already accepted and said she will attend the appointment on time."
Wen Yu nodded when he heard this, and then asked, "Where is it?"
"Wen Dao Book House." The one who answered was Zhou Lehui.
Wendao Bookstore? Isn't that Mr. Zhou's bookstore?
Zhou Lehui, who was standing opposite Wen Yu, had a normal expression on his face. When he saw her looking at him, he just smiled faintly.
“It ends where it began, so it can be considered a beginning and an end.”
Wen Yu felt emotional, but she didn't show it on her face, for fear of reminding Mr. Zhou of his sad past.
"That's good." Wen Yu thought to himself, now everything is ready, only the east wind is missing.
She glanced at the living room where she usually lived. The door was closed and she didn't know what the situation was inside.
"Then..." Zhou Lehui hesitated, but still mustered up the courage to ask, "I wonder if Miss Yingying has gotten up yet."
Now, whether there is any way to break the curse that Wen Yanli was hit by depends entirely on Yingying.
Yeah, I don’t know if Yu Chang has gotten up?
Wen Yu had a fierce battle going on in her mind. After a long fight, she decided to go meet Yu Chang.
There's no point in them just waiting here.
"Mr. Zhou, please wait a moment. I'll go take a look." Wen Yu tried her best to give Zhou Lehui a reassuring smile, then walked forward and went to the living room.
Song Linsheng followed closely and moved forward with Wen Yu.
"Xiaoyu, I'll go with you." He lowered his head and said in Wenyu's ear.
The sound is not loud, but it seems to weigh a thousand pounds.
Wen Yu looked up at Song Linsheng. They had agreed to be together last night, and now they would be together. Song Linsheng would not break his promise, and neither would she.
"Um!"
Wen Yu continued walking towards the living room with a clear purpose.
But this courtyard, which she was so familiar with in the past, and the stone steps where she could not have walked wrong even with her eyes closed, made her feel scared today.
The distance was not far, and in a blink of an eye, Wen Yu arrived at the door.
Wen Yu lowered his head and looked at the carved door leaf in front of him. It was now tightly closed, without even the slightest gap, making it impossible to peek into what was going on inside.
I hope there won’t be any surprise waiting for her when she opens the door!
Wen Yu took a deep breath, raised his hands and prepared to push the door open.
But at this moment, there was a "creak" sound and the door was opened from the inside.
