Chapter 119 Confession
"Then... everything will be left to Mr. Shen." Ye Xinyi got up, gave Shen Yue a deep blessing, and abandoned the previous precautions and politeness. This time, she thanked him sincerely.

Shen Yuexu raised his hands, "Miss Ye, hurry up and don't do this. Seeing the girl worrying and making troubles makes me feel uncomfortable. Speaking of which, helping the girl is only helping myself."

This person... this person feels that the words are clear, so now he has no scruples and dares to say anything?

But she also spoke clearly.Just at this moment, when someone just promised to help her, and she knew who she was facing, wouldn't she really have no conscience if she said anything else?
Therefore, Ye Xinyi just smiled coyly and remained silent.

There was a moment of silence in the main room before Ye Xinyi broke the silence, "It's getting late, I should go back."

"I'll see you off." Shen Yue hurriedly said, not allowing Ye Xinyi to refuse, so he took the outer robe that was on the shelf beside him.

It would be strange if she refused to send him off at night like this!

So Ye Xinyi had no choice but to thank, "Thank you, Mr. Shen."

Before the two could go out, Niu Zi and Pi Hou crowded to the door of the main room, followed by scholars strolling in the garden.

They didn't know what they were arguing all the way, it was very lively.

When he arrived at the door, he raised his eyes and saw Ye Xinyi and Shen Yue who had already walked to the door. After a moment of surprise, Pihou realized first, "Ms. Ye is leaving now?"

"Yeah!" Ye Xinyi responded with a smile, seeing the things they were holding in their hands, a smile flashed across his eyes, just now in front of her house, he kept nagging about eating roasted sweet potatoes, did this finally come true?
"Shall we go after eating the sweet potatoes? You should be hungry after tossing all night, and the sweet potatoes are delicious." Niu Zi stared at his round copper bell eyes and smiled.

"No, thank you very much for today." The light was soft, and the girl lost all the murderous look she had on Sanliu Street just now, which made Niuzi and Pihou stunned, and said no thanks.

The girl smiled slightly, nodded to the scholar who was behind, and walked out.

"I'll take Miss Ye back to Sanliu Street. You should go back to sleep in your own nest, or you can occupy a bed in the guest room by yourself. The old rules don't allow you to enter my room." Shen Yue warned in a low voice, and followed Niu Zi He snatched two roasted sweet potatoes that were so hot that they were still hot to the touch.

The daimyo used to have a curfew, but now it is useless, except that they dare not openly set up stalls on the bright street, but the dark street is everywhere.

It is common for people to pass by in the alleys.

Ye Xinyi is a bold person, and he often travels at night alone on weekdays, practicing skills along the way. Today, with the company of Master Shen, Jin Yiwei, naturally he will not be afraid.

When meeting officials, there is him, when meeting gangsters, it's still him, Ye Xinyi felt that he didn't have to worry about it, it turned out to be pretty good.

As long as she was sure that the person in front of her would not harm her, she felt that getting to know him was not that bad.

There are no lights in the back alleys, and there is no moon in the sky. There is only a wind lantern that Shen Yue casually carried in his hand when he went out, but now it is in the hands of Ye Xinyi, swaying in the north wind, flickering on and off. Light up the path underfoot.

"Come on! Try it! Niuzi can't do anything else, but this roasted sweet potato is a must."

One of the two roasted sweet potatoes that came along just now has half of its skin peeled off, exposing the orange-red flesh inside, and with the curling white smoke, a sweet fragrance hits the nostrils.

Ye Xinyi was slightly taken aback. She saw him take two sweet potatoes just now, and thought he wanted to eat them, so she took the lamp in his hand.Unexpectedly, it was stripped to her?
After a moment of silence, the corners of her lips curled up, and she smiled, "Thank you." Then she reached out and took the roasted sweet potato.

Shen Yue reached out to take the lamp, but Ye Xinyi avoided it, and handed the other sweet potato in his hand with his chin, "You eat too."

Shen Yue suddenly felt like a dream.

He was walking with the girl, eating roasted sweet potatoes, she just smiled at him.

It was totally different from her polite smile before, the smile just now was genuine from the heart, and he could tell the difference.

Yes, very happy.

This was not the first time he walked alone with the girl, but it was the first time that the girl was so calm and at ease, not wearing a protective shell against him all the time.

Shen Yue praised it well, Niuzi's craftsmanship of roasting sweet potatoes can be set up on the street.One bite, the face is sweet, and the cheeks are fragrant.

In this weather, Ye Xinyi was also very content with holding such a roasted sweet potato while walking on the road, breathing and biting on it in small mouthfuls.

Perhaps the atmosphere was just right, Ye Xinyi just smiled and said, "I think you get along well with them, it's like a real brother."

Shen Yue is not as delicate as the girl, so he finished a roasted sweet potato in two or three mouthfuls, "Yes! We have no relatives, so we regard each other as the closest people, not brothers, but like brothers, these years , and luckily have them by my side.”

"Aren't they... not married?" A few big men, living like this?
"Pi Hou was married before, and he was a childhood sweetheart, but the world is not good. Just after getting married, there was a famine, and his wife and child who had just reached the first month were gone. He fled to the capital alone, and he didn't have that thought anymore. The head. Niuzi and the scholar are younger than me... probably I am in the way, so I am embarrassed to get married before me!" Shen Yue's tone was flat and calm.

Thinking about this world, Ye Xinyi slightly dimmed his eyes.

"In this world, it doesn't matter whether there is blood relationship or closeness. I see, you and your neighbors are as good as a family. Nowadays, the world is not good, and most of them only care about themselves, even if they are relatives. There are not many who give their all to save."

Let alone just the neighborhood.

Although the girl said it lightly, she had already lost a shop for the daughter of the He family next door to her, and this time she worked hard for Chen Leizi, and the box for him must be her savings.

Knowing what he meant, Ye Xinyi smiled and twitched the corners of her mouth, raised her almond eyes slightly, and looked straight ahead in a flat way, immersed in the night, as if she couldn't see the end of the alley.

"At that time, my mother died of illness, and the family was in a very bad situation. Every meal was mixed with corn paste to barely fill my stomach. I, Chuanbai and Wolan were all hungry and thin. Brother Leizi's family He runs a butcher shop, and every ten or so days, when I go to the market, he will secretly give me a piece of meat. Even later, when my family has improved and I can afford meat, he still sells it repeatedly. Take it."

"As for the He family... their life is not easy, but every time they make pickles, Aunt He always remembers to make an extra pot. Our sisters' clothes are torn, she is the one who mends them, and she also teaches us the needlework. On weekdays , let's go to her house, she and sister Liu Zhi have always treated us very well..."

Maybe it's the gentleness of the night, or maybe it's because of his all-out help that made her let go of her guard. Before today, she never thought that she would confide in Shen Yue, but today, to him, some words came so naturally ... Even a lot of things, she has never said to others.
