Chapter 354 Branding
Ever since Shen Yue confessed to her that lovesickness cheated death, was reborn with a new identity, and went to Zhu Jingyu's side, she never asked any more questions.

First of all, she believed in Shen Yue, since he said that, he would definitely not lie to her.Secondly, as he said, it was Xiangsi's own choice, and they had no right to interfere.Thirdly, no matter what Xiangsi wants to do, she obviously has no way to intervene. In fact, she is also selfish in her bones, and she doesn't want to get involved with Gu Huan's past, including Xiangsi, and Zhu Jingyu, whom she has taken refuge in.

While thinking about it, the bowl of sour plum soup was finished, Ye Xinyi recruited the guy, and packed a few more sugar water, thinking of taking it back for Shen Yue and Tao Hong to taste.

The guy was naturally very happy, he hurriedly made sugar water for them, put them in a food basket, and escorted them out of the house graciously.

A chance encounter should have disappeared with the bowl of sugar water, but whether it was Zhu Jingyu or Ye Xinyi, they couldn't help but leave a trace in their hearts.

Zhu Jingyu drove the horse with only one trusted guard and the food box brought out from Nie Ji. As Ye Xinyi expected, he did not return to Prince Ning's Mansion, but went to an alley in the east of the city.

The alley is very elegant. There is a sweet-scented osmanthus tree planted at the entrance of the alley, so it is called the osmanthus alley.I don't know if it's because the name is more appropriate, and there are only a few houses in this alley, all kinds of sweet-scented osmanthus trees are planted.Those trees with big branches protrude out of the courtyard wall, and the two sides meet, covering the whole alley. When it is in flowering period, it will be fragrant and fragrant as you can imagine.

Most of the houses in this alley are the private houses of rich merchants' families, so it is very quiet on weekdays.

Zhu Jingyu reined in his horse in front of a house at the end of the alley. The confidant behind him had already stepped forward and knocked on the courtyard door. The door creaked open a crack, revealing a pair of eyes. They just opened the courtyard door and let the two of them in.

Although the courtyard is not very big, there are sparse flowers and trees, rockery and flowing water, and landscaping everywhere.

By the water, there is an open pavilion, where ice crumbs are burning, and chilled melons and fruits are placed. A graceful figure in a light gauze is sitting at the table, eating the bowl that has doubled. The almond tea with much honey is very sweet.Seeing that there was only half of the bowl of almond tea left, she raised her head and looked towards the other side strangely.

The person sitting opposite the stone table has a wide-sleeved green shirt and a wooden hairpin. His crow-green hair is half-up and half-loose on his shoulders. At first glance, he looks like a broad-minded and elegant Wei-Jin celebrity. He is Zhu Jingyu.

"What's wrong with you today? Since you're unhappy, why come to me to catch my eye?" This girl with a light veil is just young and beautiful. , a snow skin that can be broken by blowing bullets, a slender waist, a bulging chest, and a good fit.A face is even more beautiful, but the eyebrows are lightly swept away, but the brows and eyes are full of charm, and the red lips are half drawn, full of charm.

But the beauty was obviously in a bad mood, and the good mood that came from the bowl of almond tea just now dissipated instantly when she met the gloomy face opposite, who seemed even more preoccupied. Not half good.

It's not that Zhu Jingyu is a very talkative person on weekdays, but the warm smile on his face that has been engraved on it has almost never disappeared, and he always speaks softly, never like it is today, after coming After serving her the bowl of almond tea, he sat by the side all the time, frowning and thinking about his own thoughts, as if she didn't exist at all.

You know, ever since she decided to make good use of the good looks that God gave her, when was she not being held and carried by others, why did she receive such a cold reception?

There are also those who are cold-hearted and cold-faced, but there is only one person who can make her bear it willingly, but others, why?
Zhu Jingyu came to his senses, but he was not annoyed by the obvious anger of the beauty across from him, or was in a hurry to explain. He still looked calm, lowered his eyelashes, and lightly tasted the sour plum soup in the bowl, "This Nie Ji The taste of the sugar water is the same as in memory, and your taste has not changed."

The beauty on the opposite side is not someone else, but lovesickness. Hearing the words, he snorted softly, "You have changed a lot. It's just that this change is to lie to yourself, or can it really reduce the guilt in your heart by two points. make yourself better?"

Zhu Jingyu opened his mouth, originally wanted to say something, but perhaps his lovesickness made him change his mind, when the words came to his lips, he turned a corner, swallowed them again, and turned the rest of the bowl without saying a word. He drank the sour plum soup in one gulp, and then stood up.

He's leaving now, but it's no different from before. When he comes, he never stays for long. She has no way to treat him well. There are some things and people that she won't allow him to forget. Therefore, she can only remind him from time to time. Make him unhappy.

But in fact, looking at her himself may have already made him unhappy. Therefore, every time he came to see her, he never stayed for long and left in a hurry.

This time, it's no different.

They can still stay together, but because their purposes overlap, that's all.

Xiangsi snorted, didn't bother to send her off, and didn't say a word, just lowered her head and continued to drink her almond tea seriously.

"That's right." This time, Zhu Jingyu stopped after taking two steps, "Shen Yue will leave for Bashu in the future, are you sure, don't you want to see him off?"

Acacia did not look back, did not respond.

Zhu Jingyu nodded, "Forget it, it's up to you!" After saying that, he coldly withdrew his gaze and walked away.

The spoon in Xiangsi's hand was suspended in the air for a long time, her favorite almond tea suddenly seemed to lose its sweetness, she dropped the spoon, her face was already congealed.

Zhu Jingyu strode out of the yard, but stopped suddenly at the gate of the yard, looked up at the dense osmanthus tree branches and leaves on the top, the surging emotion in his heart gradually calmed down, it was because he thought too much, it was just the same hobby, what could there be? coherent?No matter how rare that habit is, it doesn't mean that others don't have it, so what can it mean?

Naturally, he couldn't stop in front of the road he was going because of this.

In Yuanming Street, Ye Xinyi was also looking up at the sky, the sky was covered with overcast clouds, but in a short time, it was completely impossible to see the clear sky and the bright sun just now, and it might be a heavy rain in a while.

It is a good thing for the long-drought and hot capital city, but it may not be a good thing for them who are on their way.

From behind, Shen Yue gently hugged her shoulders, and looked up at the sky with her, "Don't worry! If the road is difficult, let's go out of the capital and slow down."

Ye Xinyi nodded, but his brows were still furrowed and did not relax.

Shen Yue sighed, "We are human beings, not gods. We can't take care of many things. Besides, everyone is responsible for their own choices, and no one can replace them. What do you think?"

There is naturally a deep meaning in these words.When Ye Xinyi came back, he told Shen Yue about meeting Zhu Jingyu in Nie Ji. Of course, he concealed some of the things, but these were enough for Shen Yue to understand Ye Xinyi's worries. It seems that her concern for Acacia is too much, and it is unreasonable, but she has been thinking about it for a long time, but there is no trace to be found, and it can only be attributed to Acacia for her, so he can only be like this. Heart.

Even though, it sounds like he is a bit cold-blooded, but that is the truth.Regarding lovesickness, he has persuaded everything he could. He has taken care of her for many years, just for Gu Huan's sake. As for the other things she insisted on, there is nothing he can do.

Ye Xinyi sighed and snuggled into his arms. She couldn't be completely at ease about lovesickness, but what could she do?Even if she told Xiangsi that she was Gu Huan, would Xiangsi believe it?He might even feel that she has ulterior motives.

Just like what Shen Yue said, she already has an obsession, unless she finds out by herself, what can others do!

The two hugged each other in the corridor, and they were silent for a long time, neither of them said anything.

When the wind blows, the rain arrives.Hurray, the heavy rain came as expected, bathing the entire capital city in a curtain of rain, seeming to wash away the heat and everything. Tomorrow, the sky should be clear and clear again.
