Chapter 226: First Release It seems that this is God’s will.
Song Linsheng saw that she was confused for some reason, but he didn't ask any more questions. He just smiled and shook his head: "It's okay."
Wen Yu's face flushed, and she suddenly turned away, not daring to look him in the face.
Song Linsheng might really be fine, but she might not be...
"Is everything alright?" Xiyan, who had just finished talking to someone, turned around and interrupted, "If it's alright, sir, please don't stand here for now."
"Lord Mu's secretary has come to invite you several times, asking you to go to the riverbank to inspect the fortifications!" Xiyan raised his chin and gestured to the secretary and his own son who had not yet left.
Wen Yu was as if granted amnesty when these words were spoken, and quickly continued with Xi Yan's words, "Yes, Song Linsheng, you should go quickly and don't keep Master Mu waiting."
Song Linsheng's face straightened when he heard this. He frowned and thought for a moment, but he was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he looked at the people who were working on the bank of the Yuanshui River, and then made a decision.
"No rush, I'll take Xiaoyu to the doctor's room first."
"Oh my! Young Master!" Xi Yan's eyes widened dramatically, his brows filled with disbelief. "Madam Wen goes to the medical hut every day. It's not like she doesn't know the way..."
Although he said this, there was a gleam in his eyes, and there was a hint of joking in his words, and he was not really urging her.
Song Linsheng was naturally aware of Xi Yan's obvious intentions, so he didn't want to argue with him. If he really explained, wouldn't it be exactly what Xi Yan wanted?
"Xiaoyu..."
"Alright, Song Linsheng." Wen Yu puffed out her cheeks and looked up at him. "I can get there by myself. Besides, our sister Yingying is there too. It'll be fine."
Song Linsheng shook his head gently and said in a warm and caring voice, "It's not that, Xiaoyu."
It's not that he doesn't believe Xiaoyu. On the contrary, he believes that whatever Xiaoyu wants to do can be done.
"I'm saying that the autumn sun is dry, so when you're in the doctor's office, be very careful with the medicine stoves and the flames."
Wen Yu had been listening intently, and before he finished speaking, she replied, "So that's what you mean. It's okay, I'm not afraid..."
Wen Yu suddenly stopped talking halfway through his words.
"I mean..." Her heart was beating fast, and her eyes were wandering. "I'll pay more attention."
Wen Yu originally wanted to say that she was not afraid of fire.
Although her original form was a green phoenix tree, belonging to the wood element, she was not afraid of fire.
The five elements restrain each other but also give rise to each other, not to mention what can the mere fire of the mortal world do to her?
But after she said it, she realized that she almost revealed her flaw. Maybe Song Linsheng just told her this because it was dry today.
After saying that, Wen Yu couldn't help but secretly glance at Song Linsheng's expression, trying to see something from his face.
Sadly, she got nothing.
Song Linsheng lowered his head and eyes, his eyebrows and eyes showing tenderness, and it seemed that he was not disturbed by her words.
"Yeah." Song Linsheng nodded lightly, "That's good."
Maybe he was really worrying too much.
As their eyes met, Song Linsheng finished speaking, and Wen Yu did not say anything. The two of them just stood there quietly, neither of them moving.
"Song Linsheng——"
"Xiaoyu..."
As if they had made an appointment, they both spoke at the same time, but when their eyes met, they both turned away.
Wen Yu bit her lower lip tightly, but a smile still couldn't help but spread out from between her lips.
Song Linsheng was the same, but he was more free and easy than Wen Yu, and the curved corners of his lips could not be concealed.
Besides, he had no intention of hiding.
Xiyan's gaze passed between the two of them, but after a moment he consciously turned his back.
It was okay for him to laugh and joke with the young master in a casual manner on weekdays, but he didn't dare to disturb him at the critical moment.
When Wen Yu saw the inkstone being washed, her face became extremely hot. She could only cough twice and pretend not to care. Then she mustered up the courage to turn back, but she saw Song Linsheng looking into her eyes.
"You, you speak first." Wen Yu held the deed in one hand and tugged at Song Linsheng's sleeve with the other. "What's wrong?"
"I have something to say to Xiaoyu." Song Linsheng's eyes flickered, with a strange light flowing in them, "I..."
Wen Yu looked up at the sky. Although the sun was shining brightly, she suddenly had the illusion that it was already night.
Otherwise, how could the stars in the sky fall into Song Linsheng's eyes?
"If you have anything to say, just... say it." Wen Yu's fingertips hidden in her sleeves curled up, and she couldn't help but dig her palms with her nails.
She could feel the fine beads of sweat making her hands oily.
Wen Yu couldn't help but look up at the sky again. Is the sun too hot?
Song Linsheng's eyelashes trembled slightly and his heart almost skipped a beat. He lowered his eyes and looked directly into Wen Yu's glass-like eyes. He had a thousand words to say but didn't know where to start.
When his brother said goodbye to him last night, he told him what his parents meant. Basically, they said that everything else could be discussed, and as long as he really made up his mind, the whole family would follow his wishes.
As soon as he heard it, he was so happy that he couldn't sleep all night.
I originally wanted to go to Guanwuyuan to look for Xiaoyu overnight, but due to many concerns, I couldn't go.
But now...
Song Linsheng's eyebrows curved, and his heart was also rippling.
Now, it’s not too late.
"Xiaoyu."
Song Linsheng raised his sleeves and held Wen Yu's hands. When his fingertips touched Wen Yu's palms, he wiped away the moisture with his fingertips.
"Perhaps this is not the right time, nor the right occasion..."
Song Linsheng paused, and glanced at the green mountains and the flowing Yuan River, as well as the people busy working in the rice fields.
Originally, he should have chosen a day with profound meaning, dressed up carefully, and told Xiaoyu about it under the moon and stars.
After all, today is just an ordinary day after the beginning of autumn, and there is nothing special about it no matter how you look at it.
However, not being special can create something special.
He and Xiaoyu worked together on the banks of the Yuan River, from the green seedlings to the orange rice fields, for many days and nights, spending so much energy and shedding so much sweat.
In the past, he was always running around on the embankment, and Xiaoyu was busy in the medical room. They had spent every sunny and rainy day in Jiangyang together.
This is Jiangyang Prefecture, the result of their joint efforts and cultivation.
Song Linsheng's eyes moved, and a satisfied curve appeared on his lips.
He suddenly felt that the timing and the occasion were right.
"I mean..."
"Master Song!" A voice came from afar, as if someone was hurrying over with their robe lifted. "Has Master Song's brother been sent away?"
The sudden shout interrupted Song Linsheng's unfinished words.
Wen Yu felt empty inside. She couldn't tell what she was expecting, nor did she know whether she felt more lost or nervous at the moment. She could only look blankly in the direction of the voice.
Although the man was still some distance away, it was not difficult to tell that it was Lord Mu. After all, not everyone has such a clear and pleasant voice.
Wen Yu was familiar with this voice, and Song Linsheng, who worked with Mu on business every day, was naturally no stranger to it either.
Song Linsheng's words were stuck in his throat, he didn't know what to say, so he could only remain silent helplessly.
His frantic and rapid heartbeat echoed in his ears, and even his breathing became unregulated. He was about to lose control when Mu Tong suddenly called him, and this disordered state suddenly came to an end.
Song Linsheng couldn't tell whether he felt depressed or relieved.
Maybe he should choose a special day and prepare an environment where no one will disturb him.
It seems that this is God's will.
Song Linsheng half closed his eyes, a hint of sadness passed through his eyes, but it was only for a moment, and he collected his thoughts before Mu Tong arrived.
Seeing that Mu Tong was only ten steps away and would be in front of him in a blink of an eye, Wen Yu suddenly woke up, as if he understood something.
"Song Linsheng, if you have anything to say, let's go home and continue talking." She took Song Linsheng's hand and squeezed it. "Okay?"
She has now learned how to use such persuasive words.
For some reason, Wen Yu was inexplicably curious about what Song Linsheng was going to say to her, or even what—
Can't wait.
It’s a pity that if it were just washing the inkstone, it would be fine, but now that Lord Mu has come, it’s obviously not a good time to talk.
Song Linsheng's eyes, which had been dim, gradually brightened up like the streetlights on both sides of the streets at night after Wen Yu asked "Is it okay?"
He shook Wen Yu's hand in return, nodded solemnly, and said, "Of course it is."
Wen Yu pursed her lips, wanting to laugh but feeling embarrassed, so she lowered her eyes to avoid Song Linsheng's gaze.
In the past, when she and Song Linsheng were not very familiar with each other, she had no scruples in front of him, laughing and making noises as she pleased. But now that they had been together for a long time, she didn't know why she cared more.
When talking and doing things, I think more.
But no matter how tense her expression was, she couldn't help but reveal a smile between her eyes and eyebrows.
After some thought, Wen Yu raised her head and looked up at Song Linsheng, about to say something -
In a flash, Mu Tong appeared in front of him.
"Is Lord Song done with his work?" Mu Tong fanned himself, the ribbons in his hair fluttering in the wind. "I've sent for the secretary several times, but Lord Song hasn't shown up, so I had no choice but to come and fetch him myself."
Song Linsheng let go of Wen Yu's hand, turned around and stood slightly in front of her. He and Mu Tong nodded in greeting, "Thank you for your concern, Lord Mu. Everything is fine here. I was just about to go find you."
Wen Yu lowered her eyes to look at her empty palms, and unconsciously curled her fingertips, which seemed to still have the warmth of Song Linsheng.
She seemed to be more and more concerned about Song Linsheng's touch.
This feeling never happened before, but it appeared from time to time later and is now getting more and more intense.
Thinking of this, Wen Yu raised her head with a bit of confusion, but when she looked up, she could only see Song Linsheng's straight figure.
"Your Excellency, that's not right." Mu Tong replied hurriedly, and then suddenly called out to Wen Yu, "Madam Wen——"
Wen Yu snapped back to her senses, and then she saw Mu Tong turn his head and look past Song Linsheng to meet hers.
"Lord Mu..." Wen Yu, who was still a little dazed, didn't know what to say and could only call out in a low voice.
"It's been a few days since we last met. Madam Wen, are you doing well?" Mu Tong smiled casually, and the folding fan in his hand made him wave it into flowers.
He is right.
Ever since her elder sister Chen Chuo and her elder brother Shuang Cheng arrived in Jiangyang, she had been busy learning spearmanship with her elder sister every day, and indeed she had not met Lord Mu for quite some time.
Wen Yu nodded and replied, "I'm fine. Master Mu, is everything okay?"
Mu Tong smiled when he heard this, and simply stood up, walked around Song Linsheng, and came to Wen Yu's side to face her.
"Same...it's nothing serious, but it's been dry lately, and I feel a little stuffy sometimes."
After saying this, Mu Tong put away the fan that he never let go of, and clasped his hands together to greet Wen Yu.
"I was just about to ask Madam Wen to prescribe some medicine for me!"
