Chapter 460 The Night Talk in the Backyard

Bo Ling returned to his courtyard again.

On this day, the small courtyard of the Bai family was dimly lit as usual.

Bai Shijun's room was lit—he was probably still revising his manuscript, and Bai Ling glanced around but didn't see Bai Yi's figure, so he raised his heart.

She didn't run back to the backyard until she heard the sound of water coming from the backyard.

Bai Yi was sitting in the yard washing clothes.

There is soap root powder on his left foot, and he is holding a washboard, sitting on a small stool and bending over to wash his clothes.

There is a candle lamp on the nearby wall—because everyone is busy in their respective positions during the day, and Bai Yi is unwilling to hire someone to live at home for a long time, so he often does these tasks at night by himself .

For a while, Bo Ling stood at the corner of the backyard and fell silent.

She was sweating profusely because of the anxiety and running all the way. At this moment, the sweat gradually cooled down, and her breathing gradually calmed down.

Bo Ling suddenly felt a sense of exhaustion as if his whole body had been taken out.

She stood there, silently watching Bai Yi washing clothes, until one time when Bai Yi raised his hand to wipe his sweat, he suddenly saw a figure in the corner of the backyard. He was startled at first, and then realized that this person was Bai. spirit.

"You're back." Bai Yi was taken aback for a moment, "Why is it so late?"

"En." She nodded, without answering, just walked to Bai Yi's side silently, and sat down on a big stone near him that was used to dry things.

"I have something to tell you..." Bai Ling said softly.

"I also have something to tell you," Bai Yi sighed.

Bai Ling made a gesture of "please", signaling Bai Yi to speak first.

Bai Yi recounted the conversation that took place in his office in Tai Hospital today.The more Bo Ling listened, the more frightened he became.

It turned out that Chen Yicong cared about this...

He cared about Bai Yi's identity.

Bo Ling looked at Bai Yi with an unprecedented gaze, as if looking at a stranger.

Over the years, she never thought that the person beside her could have an identity other than "brother".

Even now.

With Bai Yi?
That's really... ridiculous.

She watched Yikang's efforts over the years, and even imagined what it would be like if there was such a sister-in-law in the future...

Up to this moment, Bo Ling looked at Bai Yi, looked at his expression, and his actions, but he couldn't extend any thoughts other than brothers and sisters.

But is it really impossible?
She and Bai Yi originally come from different time and space, have their own experiences and pasts, and the reason why they call each other brother and sister is only because of Bai Shijun's upbringing.

But now, there is no blood relationship.

Bai Ling frowned slightly.

In the second half of Bai Yi's narration, she was no longer listening.

"Bai Ling?" Bai Yi stretched out his hand and waved in front of Bai Ling, "What are you thinking, are you listening to me?"

"I heard it." Bo Ling nodded, and murmured, "The emperor gave you a marriage with Yikang Princess, you don't understand why."

"Yes," Bai Yi frowned, "When you enter the palace tomorrow, ask for me... I don't know if Princess Yining went to talk to the emperor, anyway, it's really inexplicable——"

Bai Ling suddenly laughed, looking at Bai Yi's face, she suddenly felt that what she wanted to say was a little bit hard to say.

She had calculated thousands of times, but she never expected that there would be a problem in this link...

"I've finished talking about my affairs." Bai Yi said seriously, "You said just now that you also have something to say to me?"

Bo Ling shook his head, lowered his face slightly, stretched out his hand to support his forehead, and gently closed his eyes.

Is it necessary to tell Bai Yi about the little things that Chen Yicong noticed?
In fact, as long as you simply plan ahead, you will be fine.

No need to explain why...

"Bai Ling?" Bai Yi looked at the dignified Bai Ling and said worriedly, "What's wrong with you?"

"The emperor may have noticed some clues." Bai Ling said softly, her eyes were calm, "Today he asked me if I would like to stay in the palace and be his queen."

Bai Yi's expression froze for a moment.

"...You rejected him?"

"Yes," Bo Ling shook his head again, "so, plan ahead."

Bai Yi took a deep breath—this is really big news.

"Actually, I think..." Bai Yi said softly, "If many details of your plan have already been implemented, wouldn't it be better to go according to the original plan? In order to avoid temporarily disrupting the situation and causing some changes .”

"why?"

"I actually don't really believe that he really noticed something." Bai Yi said softly, "Otherwise you wouldn't be able to come back tonight. Even if he really heard something, he must not believe it in his heart."

Bo Ling nodded - yes, I have already figured this out.

"But more importantly," Bai Yi said softly, "If we run away suddenly at this time, it would be too suspicious. Boating on New Year's Eve is a good cover. If you really give up, what else can you come up with these days? The right time? The day after tomorrow is Laba, so it’s too late.”

Bai Ling smiled wryly.

— Brother, you still don't quite understand your current situation.

You are already the emperor's imaginary rival in love.

It's still a marriage right now, but when you and Yikang both object in two days, and would rather violate the Sacred Heart than obey the marriage arrangement, things will turn sour.

"Laba is definitely too late." Bo Ling thought for a while, "We can only advance as much as possible to avoid long nights and dreams."

After saying this, Bo Ling slowly calmed down.

Things have come to this point, and it has come to the eve when the arrow is on the string and has to be released.

All scruples can be put aside for the time being.

So Bo Ling stood up, "I'll go back to the house first and think about it myself."

"Wait!" Bai Yi called her, "I always feel that you have something to say... Did the Emperor really not say anything to you today besides this?"

Bai Yi also stood up, "What happened to you tonight?"

Bai Ling turned her head, she looked at Bai Yi, and didn't speak for a long time.

Bai Ling took a light breath.

"Sometimes I think you're stupid, Bai Yi."

"...?"

Bai Ling looked at him, "...stupid, straight, and stubborn."

Bai Yi stood there inexplicably.

But after Bo Ling finished speaking, he walked towards the front yard without looking back, without explaining a word.

Thinking about Bo Ling's words, Bai Yi returned to his small bench and continued to rub his clothes.

However, the splashing cold water suddenly entered his right eye, Bai Yi let out a low cry, and suddenly felt that his eyes were pinched.

Instinctively, he leaned back, and then kicked over the saponin powder jar beside him.

Bai Yi hurriedly got up to reach the small clay pot that was still twirling in circles not far away, and his right foot was hooked on the edge of the laundry tub - he heard a crash, and his whole body tripped over the water tub, The wet clothes in the basin were overturned to the ground, and he fell face-on to the ground.

"Fuck..."
