The dusk is stained with blood and the sun sets.

Lin Zhaoyan and Xiao Qi walked side by side on the way back. The sunset shone half of the sky, pulling their silhouettes long.

The wind blew gently from afar, and a strange tranquility floated in the air.

After walking all the way, no one spoke.

Lin Zhaoyan actually has many questions to ask, but if Xiao Qi doesn't take the initiative, she can't speak.

Just in this silence, the two of them continued to walk forward, but there was actually not much embarrassment, and the atmosphere was not bad.

"Lin Zhaoyan." Finally, when she reached the moat, Xiao Qi spoke softly.

Lin Zhaoyan looked at him sideways, "What?"

Xiao Qi continued to walk forward, his expression as if he was content, "I'll be waiting for you here tomorrow."

A particularly relaxed tone, coupled with his expression, was as simple as saying what I ate for lunch.

Lin Zhaoyan was stunned for a moment, and stood there, staring at Xiao Qi's back as he walked farther and farther away, then he realized what he said.

He said he was waiting for her here?

Why?

Lin Zhaoyan couldn't figure it out, and looked at his figure stretched by the setting sun and fell into deep thought.

Xiao Qi walked naturally for a long time without getting the expected answer - someone was either excited or pretending to be reserved.

So he was very surprised and couldn't help but look at it.

Where is there anyone else?

He was stunned, then quickly turned around and saw a thin figure standing not far away, looking at his expression, as if he was in a daze.

He was relieved at first, but fortunately he was not lost.

Then I became frustrated. What was this reaction? Are I happy or excited?

Could it be that she is not happy?!

Thinking of this, he became even more frustrated. He raised his voice and shouted at the other side: "What are you doing when you stand there? Don't you go back?"

Lin Zhaoyan came to his senses and the boy not far away seemed very unhappy.

She quickly stepped forward and said, "Sorry, let's go!"

Xiao Qi: "..." He stood still.

Lin Zhaoyan glanced at him strangely, "Aren't you leaving?"

Xiao Qi felt chest tightness and glared at her, "That's it? You have no indication?"

"Expression?" Lin Zhaoyan was confused, "What expression do you want me?"

Xiao Qi felt his lung pain, "I said I will wait for you to go to a private school tomorrow at the moat. You have no indication?"

Lin Zhaoyan blinked. It turned out that it was not her auditory hallucination!

"Why?" Lin Zhaoyan was surprised and asked, "Isn't it easier to go to a private school directly? I also got a circle around the moat. Don't you think it's troublesome?"

"..." Xiao Qi felt his heart, liver and lungs began to hurt.

He didn't say anything, Lin Zhaoyan didn't care about him, and said to himself: "If you don't do this because you took advantage of it, it's completely unnecessary. Learning martial arts is also good for me. Let's take each of us."

"..." Xiao Qi felt that he had no idea.

"It's okay." Lin Zhaoyan smiled again, but there was a light of water in his eyes.

In fact, she felt very distressed, but she just didn't want him to see the clues. She could only pretend not to care.

She is not a fool. Xiao Qi is so kind to her for no reason, and takes her to learn martial arts and speaks sweet words. Unless she is really a ignorant girl, how can she believe it?

But no matter what purpose he is, no matter how sincere he is, it is true that he treats her well, it is true that he saves her, and it is true that he asks her to learn martial arts.

All these are true. She feels that she has gotten enough, and if she cares about it, she will seem pretentious.

She never felt that if she liked him, she had to get an equal and sincere response.

So, why not be able to get along with yourself?

Xiao Qi still didn't say anything, just stared at her, with no expression on her face, and he couldn't tell his emotions.

Lin Zhaoyan turned his head over and said softly: "Let's go, it's time for me to go back."

After she said that, she walked forward without caring about Xiao Qi's reaction.

"Lin Zhaoyan." Xiao Qi called her.

Lin Zhaoyan paused and did not leave, but did not look back.

Xiao Qi stared at her back and spoke slowly, "I don't know what environment you grew up in, but it's better not to question others at any time in the future. If you do this, even if someone really wants to help you, you will feel heartbroken."

Xiao Qi's voice was cold, like the frozen lake in winter. It made people feel even more distressed to say such serious words at this moment.

Lin Zhaoyan was completely stunned. She couldn't understand Xiao Qi's words, and she didn't know how to respond.

Xiao Qi walked forward a few more steps and stood in front of her.

Lin Zhaoyan subconsciously looked up at him.

His eyes were like black jade, and also like deep pools and lakes. It seemed like magical power, attracting people to fall in, then sink, and be doomed.

Xiao Qi was also looking at her.

Her appearance is elegant and elegant, not very beautiful, but it just gives people a very comfortable feeling. It is like the breeze in Yanling in March, which can wrinkle a pond of spring water.

Her likes are the same, soft, gentle, careful, and really comfortable.

There are many people who like him, but he seems to only like her.

Very strange.

Then he saw himself in her eyes.

A gloomy face, with a distinctly angry expression.

He was stunned by himself.

He never showed his emotions. No matter how angry he was, he would not show anything on his face.

But this time, because she questioned his sincere words, he was so angry that he was so angry that he showed it on his face.

He even thought he was ridiculous.

But I can't control my emotions.

So the rational one stood aside again, listening to the emotional one, coldly saying, "I am indeed not a good person, but I can tell you clearly that this time, I really want to help you. As for the future, if I want to plot against you, I will not give you sweet things first. You are so smart, you should be able to see that, then, just stay away from me."

Lin Zhaoyan blinked, she was afraid that she would cry.

How could he say this so lightly? It's like a person can control his feelings at will, get close to him when he wants to, and get away when he wants to, like a puppet.

Lin Zhaoyan smiled bitterly in his heart again, perhaps because he had never really used his heart to anyone.

If you truly love someone, how can your feelings be controlled by reason?

It was like her. He knew that his sweet words in front of his husband were all lies, but he was still moved.

"I understand, I will." But she could only respond like this in front of Xiao Qi.

She will do it, she will work hard, and forget how she feels about him.

Xiao Qi felt even more uncomfortable.

Is it just that he is thinking too much? Is he self-indulgent?

He froze his face. He didn't even want to say anything, and walked forward without saying a word.

However, despite being angry, Xiao Qi insisted on sending Lin Zhaoyan to Qianguo Lane safely.

Lin Zhaoyan had calmed down and naturally said to him, "Thank you. See you tomorrow."

Xiao Qi was serious and didn't even look at her, and she just lifted her robe and left.

That way, it was like a quarrel child.

Lin Zhaoyan did not express any expression of his behavior, shrugged and walked towards the Liu Mansion.

When I returned to Liu's mansion, the sun had completely set.

Because I left a letter to Liu Mingyu before, someone on the side door was waiting for her.

It's Lin Ruoyan.

"Hey, where are you going to have fun? I came back so late!" Lin Ruoyan asked impatiently as soon as he saw her appear. The glory of gossip flashed in his eyes.

Lin Zhaoyan irritated her forehead, "Put your disgusting thoughts, I just go out for a walk. The teahouse is too boring."

"Tsk." Lin Ruoyan rolled his eyes, obviously not believing it. "I'm afraid you will be scolded by your mother and waited for you at the side door. You didn't even say thank you and still tried to deal with me so perfunctorily!"

"Thank you." Lin Zhaoyan thanked him quickly.

Lin Ruoyan: “…”
