Chapter 196 "Song Linsheng, look at him——"...
Yu Chang raised his eyes and looked upwards like Wen Yu.
The greenery remained as green as ever, the sun was even brighter, and scattered spots of light hit his face. Unlike the darkness and dampness at the bottom of the Yuanshui River, this was a long-lost brightness and... warmth.
The hatred, anger, and resentment that had been pent up for so long seemed to vanish in an instant.
Although he didn't know what had happened during these tens of thousands of years, he just treated it as... a reunion after a long separation.
Wen Yu withdrew his gaze, glanced at Song Linsheng and Yu Chang standing on either side, and said with a light cough, "Ahem, since Master Wen's mind-destroying curse has been lifted, why don't we just stop standing here and go home?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Song Linsheng nodded and said, "Okay, I'll follow Xiaoyu's instructions."
He always responded to Xiaoyu's words, and this time was no exception.
Yu Chang lowered his head, his ambiguous gaze flickering between Wen Yu and Song Linsheng before he grumbled, "Hmm."
He wasn't going nowhere.
But now, there are some things he is not sure about...
Wen Yu felt extremely happy, and even smiled more often.
According to today's situation, Master Wen's Mind-Losing Curse will no longer have any effect, and as for Yu Chang... he doesn't seem as cold and unkind as he appears.
This way, she no longer has to worry about anything.
If it is not water chestnut, then it is not water chestnut; if it is not spring cattail, then it is not spring cattail.
It’s just an identity, what does it matter? As long as Yu Chang has good intentions and doesn’t cause trouble, who cares about his original identity!
She is not that stubborn person.
Thinking of this, Wen Yu happily took a step forward with her hands behind her back. The setting sun cast her figure on the ground, creating a delicate and beautiful light and shadow.
Song Linsheng watched Wen Yu's brisk steps with a smile, while Yu Chang, not knowing what he was thinking, lowered his head to stare at her shadow.
Seeing that the two of them didn't move, Wen Yu raised his eyebrows and turned around, calling out, "Follow me!"
"I'll be right there." Song Linsheng had a gentle smile and elegant features, and his words were filled with pampering and indulgence that were difficult to conceal.
Yu Chang's expression remained unchanged. He glanced coldly at Song Linsheng beside him, then walked away without saying a word.
Song Linsheng was at a loss for a moment, then shook his head helplessly and followed.
Wen Yu's eyes wandered between Song Linsheng and Yu Chang. She couldn't help but pursed her lips, for she was afraid that she would laugh out loud if she wasn't careful.
Yu Chang was still a woman at this moment, wearing the clothes and appearance of "Xing Xing". When she spoke and acted with Song Linsheng, there was always an inexplicable strange feeling. But Song Linsheng had to endure it and didn't say a word.
Wen Yu's eyes flickered and his mind raced. He took a few steps back and turned back.
Just when he turned around, he saw a man running towards him from afar in the light and shadow, and the shadows of the trees on both sides of the Green Water Lane were rapidly retreating beside him.
"Xiyan?" Wen Yu called out curiously, looking at Xiyan who was panting and there was no trace of the carriage frame behind him.
"Wen... Madam Wen..." Xiyan was half-squatting, with his hands on his knees, slightly out of breath. When he saw Wen Yu, he greeted her hurriedly.
Wen Yu glanced at Xi Yan's back in confusion. There was clearly no one there, let alone anything chasing him. Why was Xi Yan so anxious?
She then turned sideways to look at Song Linsheng, only to see that he was also confused and puzzled.
"Xiyan, don't be in a hurry." Song Linsheng comforted him softly without urging him, "Breathe slowly, don't get a shortness of breath."
If it wasn't something important, he wouldn't have lost his composure and manners when washing the inkstone.
Song Linsheng frowned, but he was not sure what was going on.
"Master... Madam Wen, Miss Yingying..." Xiyan panted, but he did not forget to greet everyone present in turn. He waved his hands and replied, "I'm fine."
"Just now I went to the alley to kill time, and met... met..." Xiyan said hurriedly, but he seemed a little weak, which showed that he was really exhausted from running all the way.
"What did you encounter?" Wen Yu frowned, feeling strange.
Yu Chang, who remained silent, looked indifferent. He didn't care about Xi Yan's words, but...
Glancing at Wen Yu beside him, Yu Chang tapped his fingers lightly in his sleeves.
Almost at the same time, Xi Yan stopped panting and his expression returned to normal. He exhaled deeply and said smoothly, "I met the coachman from Lord Mu's mansion at the entrance of the alley."
As soon as these words were spoken, Wen Yu and Song Linsheng looked at each other tacitly. The coachman of Lord Mu's mansion?
"Can Lord Mu go with him?" Wen Yu tilted his head and asked.
When I was chatting with Lord Mu before, I mentioned the location of the Mu Mansion, which seemed to be in two completely opposite directions from this Green Water Lane.
How could Lord Mu's coachman appear in Green Water Lane at this moment?
"No, no, he was the only one here." Xi Yan finally felt his strength returning and stood up straight. "He said he came out to get medicine for Master Mu."
"Get some medicine?" Wen Yu keenly grasped the key words and asked in surprise, "Master Mu is ill?"
Song Linsheng paused when he heard this. Yesterday... Lord Mu was clearly in good health. "How could that be? Lord Mu didn't seem unwell during the sacrifice yesterday."
"That's exactly what I wanted to say." Xiyan waved his hand and his expression became serious.
"It is said that since returning home from the sacrifice yesterday, Lord Mu has been restless and unable to sleep. When he woke up this morning, he was even more exhausted and weak. He had consulted several doctors but none of them could find the cause. That is why I came out to prescribe medicine for Lord Mu."
The more Wen Yu listened, the more confused he became. In the end, he simply asked out loud, "Come out to get medicine? The doctor who came to my house couldn't help, so how could come out to get medicine help?"
"There's nothing we can do about it. We have to give it a try." Xi Yan replied helplessly, also with a sigh on his face, "It seems that Lord Mu made the prescription himself and sent someone out to get the medicine."
Wen Yu frowned and remained silent, his face becoming tense.
She didn't even know when Lord Mu would seek medical advice and make his own prescriptions?
After returning home from yesterday’s sacrifice?
Wen Yu thought carefully. After the sacrifice was completed yesterday, when she said goodbye to Lord Mu, he was fine and seemed to be in no abnormality.
How come I feel restless and can't sleep as soon as I get home?
No, she has to go to Lord Mu's house to take a look.
Thinking of this, Wen Yu turned to look at Song Linsheng beside him. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Song Linsheng speak first.
"I'll go with you." Song Linsheng's expression was calm, his eyes firm as he comforted Wen Yu, "Don't worry, Xiaoyu. I think Master Mu is just overworked. He'll be fine."
Song Linsheng lowered his head and looked at Wen Yu. When their eyes met, his eyes were full of comfort for Wen Yu.
Wen Yu stared at Song Linsheng's gentle features and encouraging expression without blinking. She felt a stream of clear water flowing through her heart, like a mountain spring, bringing coolness and making her feel at ease.
"Yeah." Wen Yu nodded, which meant he agreed.
But now Yu Chang is by my side...
Wen Yu turned around and looked at Yu Chang who was unmoved. Yes, Yu Chang probably didn't know who Lord Mu was at this moment.
"Miss Yingying, do you want to go with me?"
Wen Yu thought of the cold and evil Yu Chang from yesterday, and then looked at the beautiful and lovely Ying Ying in front of him, and couldn't help laughing.
"Or...should I take you back home first?"
She was a little unsure, so she decided to ask Yu Chang's opinion first.
Yu Chang's eyes were indifferent. He looked at Wen Yu when he heard that, but did not answer.
Wen Yu was moved by this and quickly advised, "Why don't you just come with me? How about it?"
Song Linsheng followed Wen Yu's gaze and looked at the "Xingxing" girl in front of him, quietly waiting for his answer.
Yu Chang's eyes turned and saw that several people were staring at him intently. He frowned slightly and squeezed out two words between his lips.
"boring."
"Boring?" Wen Yu's eyes widened, her eyebrows raised, as if she was extremely puzzled. "But don't you want to be alone?"
Just now in the carriage in front of Wendao Bookstore, didn’t Yu Chang tell Song Linsheng that he didn’t want to stay in the carriage alone?
Wen Yu looked puzzled. She had thought that this meant Yu Chang didn't want to be alone. Could she have misunderstood?
Yu Chang was stunned when he heard this, and was a little stunned.
She... actually remembered...
He had been at the bottom of the Yuanshui River for eons, always alone, watching schools of fish swimming, pairs of shrimps, merchant ships plying, and tourists flocking in. But all the laughter and excitement belonged to them.
And he had nothing.
Yu Chang's heart was in turmoil and waves were rising, and he couldn't calm down for a while, but his face was calm and untroubled.
"It's hard to force someone to do that."
Yu Chang answered word by word, seeming extremely reluctant, but his feet unconsciously lifted up and followed closely behind Wen Yu.
"Not leaving yet?"
Seeing Wen Yu staring at him in a daze, standing there motionless, Yu Chang asked back in a cold voice.
"Ah? Oh... please go first, please go first." Wen Yu blinked, and seemed to come back to her senses suddenly, stretched out her hands and let Yu Chang stand in front of her.
Yu Chang glanced at her without saying anything else, and walked past Wen Yu in one step.
Since she said so, he might as well go for it.
Looking at the figures of Yu Chang and Xi Yan walking in front one after the other, Wen Yu inexplicably twitched the corners of his lips, and a crack appeared on the smile on his face.
"Song Linsheng." Wen Yu pulled Song Linsheng's sleeve with one hand and pointed at Yu Chang who was walking away with the other, accusing him with a helpless smile, "Look at him—"
Song Linsheng pursed his lips and said nothing, as if he didn't know what to say. Upon hearing this, he leaned over and looked at Wen Yu, and they both couldn't help but laugh.
"What's going on?" Wen Yu felt angry and amused at the same time, "Really..."
In the past, in the East Heaven, she was the only one who bullied others, but now that she has come to the mortal world, she is really like a phoenix with its feathers plucked is no better than a chicken, and a tiger in plain land is bullied by a dog.
Wen Yu shed tears secretly. She must accumulate merits this time. When she ascends to heaven, she will ignore this guy Yu Chang!
She was clearly trying to give good advice, but was met with rebuff.
"Xiaoyu, shall we go?" Song Linsheng smiled faintly, his eyes as soft as water seemed to have a vastness that embraced everything.
As soon as Wen Yu met such a gaze, all her anger disappeared.
"Okay! As you command." Wen Yu's eyes curved, and she felt playful. "Master Xiao Song."
Song Linsheng was not angry at all. He just smiled at Wen Yu with tenderness in his eyes, and then they walked forward side by side in tacit understanding.
Green Water Lane is full of lush vegetation and towering ancient trees. Under the scorching sun, they cast cool shades in the lane, making it look like a piece of green silk.
Wen Yu and Song Linsheng strolled through the green shade, leaving only the chirping of swallows and birds in the treetops.
After walking a few steps, Wen Yu suddenly remembered something and turned around, looking at the plaque on the door of Wen Dao Book House from afar.
I just hope that Mr. Zhou will always be happy and that his time will come back eventually!
