Ye Yijian's body shook and slowly turned around. He saw Chu Junlan wearing a honey-colored woolly. His face was not covered with pink, his eyes were shimmering, his pink lips were smiling, and his spirit was flying.

Ye Yijian blinked his eyes and a faint redness appeared on his neck: "Jun, Jun Lan."

Chu Junlan was stunned for a moment, and was a little confused about the sudden change in his name: "What's wrong? But is there anything wrong?"

"I..." Ye Yijian pinched his hands, then relaxed, and said with a wry smile: "I'm here to avenge you, right?"

"Isn't it a compensation? Why do you say that for a long time?" Chu Junlan walked closer and raised his face slightly to look at him.

Ye Yijian looked at Chu Junlan, his face turned redder, and he stuttered: "I know what you and the General of the Fuguo Mansion were. When I first learned the news, I wanted to see you and see what I could do to help, but later... In short, I didn't come because I was not clear about the situation and was afraid of causing trouble for you. Later, I heard something vaguely, and I knew that you had gone to the imperial village, Junlan, I regretted it very much and could not help you in times of danger."

"So it's for this." Chu Junlan smiled slightly and shook his head, "What do I think is it? This has nothing to do with you, not only you represent yourself, but also the eldest princess is standing behind you. It involves the royal family. No one dares to act rashly. I understand."

Every word and sentence she stood from his perspective, considering him and the eldest princess, but the more this happened, the more guilt Ye Yijian felt.

"Even so, I still feel guilty. You saved my life more than once. In times of crisis, I retreated and felt ashamed of you. Besides... "

Ye Yijian lowered his eyes and then asked, "You, do you hate me?"

Chu Junlan felt more and more that Ye Yijian was very strange today.

"How could it be?" Chu Junlan chuckled, "What's wrong with you? Did something happen to the mansion ruin your mood?"

"There has never been such a thing." Ye Yijian's mood seemed to have improved a little because of her words, and her smile widened a little. She took out a wooden box from her arms and handed it over hesitantly.

Chu Junlan did not answer: "Is this?"

"Give it to you." Ye Yijian handed the wooden box forward again.

Chu Junlan shook his head: "I don't receive any reward without merit, how can I accept your things at will?"

Ye Yijian opened the wooden box, and inside it was a wooden hairpin, carving a playful little golden cicada, lying on a leaf. The hairpin was polished very smoothly, but it can still be seen from the patina that this was a newly carved one.

"Jun Lan, I did this by myself. Are you willing to accept it?"

Chu Junlan raised his eyes, and his rippling eyes met his eyes that were like a deep pool. There was a hopeful light in his eyes, and it seemed to be able to tolerate everything, but his tense muscles revealed his tension.

"This hairpin is very beautiful." Chu Junlan smiled and softened his voice and said in a gentle voice: "Mr. Ye is willing to go together? I am going to the prince's mansion to treat the prince now. If you don't think the autumn wind is cold, would you be willing to accompany me for a while?"

Ye Yijian felt a little sour, but he was very expectant, and said with a smile: "Of course I do, but I am different from each other, and I may be criticized when I walk together."

"Mr. Ye has thought about it too much. The marriage event, the orders of parents, the words of the matchmaker. My marriage with the prince has long been decided. The old patriarch of the royal family has also met and admitted it. I think no one will think about anything more."

Ye Yijian's smile faded when he heard this.

He was a smart person and knew that Chu Junlan was telling him that she must be the future Prince Concubine. He was recognized by the royal family and everyone in the world also recognized him. After the marriage of the matchmaker, there was no room for any turn around.

She was rejecting him.

Ye Yijian's heart seemed to have been turned a few times, and his face gradually turned pale.

He held the little golden cicada's wooden hairpin and whispered: "Is it okay to have parents' orders and matchmakers' words?"

Chu Junlan didn't expect Ye Yijian to ask this, and stopped and looked back at him: "Young Master Ye, you..."

"I am happy to you!" Ye Yijian's knuckles turned white, and the golden cicada's wings seemed to pierce into the flesh, but he tightened his grip, "Jun Lan, I am happy to you."

Chu Junlan lowered his eyes, not knowing how to answer for a moment. She thought that the drum would not need a heavy hammer, but she hinted that Ye Yijian would retreat after a few words. But who would have thought Ye Yijian would say so?

Zi Yan and Kunshan, who were beside each other, had been scared and dared not speak out. They quietly retreated far away, pretending to be a wooden man.

The autumn wind blew across the alley, lifting Chu Junlan's long satin-like hair hanging behind her.

She raised her white jade-like fingers and pinned her temples behind her ears, and smiled: "Thank you for your feelings. But, I never thought about this."

"I haven't thought about it, you can think about it now." Ye Yijian was happy first, and then said anxiously, "There is only the order between you and the prince. The prince has such a disease. Even if he is improving, he cannot give you an ordinary life. How complicated is the matter in the royal palace? You don't need to tell me in detail. But I am different, Jun Lan, since you have never thought about it, can you consider me?"

Chu Junlan never thought that a person with a gentle temperament like Ye Yijian would say such straightforward words.

Like is an extremely precious feeling. Even if she cannot repay the same feeling, she does not want to pervert the other person's feelings.

If you don’t give people meaningless hope, you don’t practice it.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ye, you're very nice, just..."

"Do you hate me?" Ye Yijian's blood slid from the sharp end of the wooden hairpin, and bright red dripped on the ground.

"Mr. Ye, I thought we were friends."

"But the future is still growing. If you try to accept me, you will understand what happiness is."

"Who can tell you the future accurately? At least for now, I know in my heart. I don't have a relationship with you, you are very good and excellent. I don't hate you, but... I'm sorry, I don't want to delay you."

Chu Junlan pulled out a plain handkerchief, took out a small medicine bag from his arms, sprinkled the medicine powder on the veil, and put the leaves one by one with the gradual fingers, took the blood-stained wooden hairpin away, and bandaged him with the veil.

The bright red blood soaked in the handkerchief, but it stopped quickly.

Ye Yijian looked down at Chu Junlan's head, and his mood gradually calmed down.

His Adam's apple rolled up and down and said hoarsely: "I should apologize, I..."

"Criminal, why don't you leave?" Jing Yu's loud voice came from the entrance of the alley.

Zi Yan and Kunshan Xunsheng turned around, and their hearts were thrilled.

Xiao Xu was wearing a silver-white arrow-sleeved robe, standing expressionlessly at the entrance of the alley, looking silently at Chu Junlan and Ye Yijian.

I don't know how much he heard.

Jing Yu held a thick stack of boxes in her arms, covering her sight and couldn't see the situation in the alley. She only saw Xiao Xu standing there from the side of the stack of boxes.

Seeing that Xiao Xu did not react, Jing Yu turned his back and saw the four people in the alley clearly, and couldn't help but be stunned.

He seemed to be... speaking when he shouldn't have spoken?
