Chapter 9 It's just too deep into the play
I didn't feel far away when I walked in the morning, but now I feel far away when I sit in the carriage. The sun was scorching at noon, and I was fortunate to have a carriage, otherwise I would have sweated when I walked back. This time he entered from the main gate of the Mu Mansion, and for the first time he saw a place other than Mu Lingyi's courtyard, Yan Le's interest in the Mu Mansion was neither high nor low, but he just swept it with his eyes.
Compared to this huge mansion, it was the lively street that aroused her interest more, Mu Lingyi thought to herself.
The servants led Mu Ling to Yan Le to the main courtyard of the Mu Mansion. Mu Lingyi and Mu Lingyuan's parents have already traveled to Xianyou, and the current head of Mu Mansion is Mu Lingyuan, so they naturally live in the main courtyard. The servant only went outside the courtyard, made a gesture of invitation, and retreated. Mu Lingyi led Yan Le forward.
Yan Le didn't know that Mu Lingyuan was disabled, and was a little surprised when he saw him sitting on a wooden chair with two wheels. But she skillfully brushed the hair on her forehead with her hand to avoid being seen.
Mu Lingyi opened his mouth first and called out to the eldest brother. With a tone of respect for elders, it is not the usual coldness to ordinary people.
Yan Le smiled slightly, called Mu Gongzi and reported his name.
Mu Lingyuan's laughter was hearty, and Dao Yanle was too polite, and he should call his eldest brother like his younger brother.
Mu Lingyuan began to be in charge of the family at the age of 15, the difference between the two is 5 years, Mu Lingyi was still a child when his parents were away, although he did not cry and cry, but his heart was still fragile. Mu Lingyuan took care of his younger brother wholeheartedly, managed the family, and helped his younger brother find a master and teach him martial arts.
There were only three of them at the table, and although Mu Lingyuan had reached the age of marrying a wife, he was still single because of his own reasons.
Although Mu Lingyi respects and admires Mu Lingyuan, because of his different personalities and education since he was a child, some concepts are refuted. So Yu Yan still needs to act.
Mu Lingyuan said hospitably to Yan Le: "Miss Yan, these are the specialties of the capital, eat more." ”
Seeing that Yan Le was holding chopsticks in his hand but not picking up vegetables, Mu Lingyi first sandwiched a few pieces of meat for Yan Le.
Mu Lingyuan was not in a hurry to eat, and asked Yan Le: "Miss Yan, where is your hometown, there are many masters, but I don't know which master you are." ”
Yan Le and Mu Lingyi had exchanged words in the carriage before, and they would only need to answer one by one: "I have followed Master Liu since I was a child, but I really don't know where I am from. Senior Brother Ling Yi has only studied under the master for one year, and we rarely see each other. ”
After listening to Yan Le's words, Mu Lingyuan looked apologetic, "Miss Yan Le can't help it, I mentioned your sad matter." Yan Le knew that he meant to ask where she was from, involving the fact that she was adopted by her master since she was a child.
Yan Le shook his head with a smile and said, "It's okay, it's good to follow the master." ”
Mu Lingyi helped Yan Le with other dishes, Yan Le lowered his head and ate it, no longer speaking.
Mu Lingyuan saw it in his eyes, his younger brother had always been alone, not to mention taking a woman home, and he also brought the Anti-Twilight Division, and now he was considerate of her, which was really strange, and there was an assassin attack on Wu Linhou last night.
He turned the conversation to his younger brother, "Yi'er, why haven't I seen you mention that you have such a pretty junior sister before?" ”
Mu Lingyi deliberately glanced at Yan Le with a look of tenderness, and replied: "Xu is because he values it, so he has always hidden it in his heart. That's a clever way to say it. Not only let Mu Lingyuan know that they were not the first acquaintance, but also let him know that he valued Yan Le and didn't attack her at will, it was like sending Meng Yun to test Yan Le.
Yan Le lowered her head and slowly chewed the food in her mouth, she didn't pull Mu Lingyi's words onto herself. It was Mu Lingyuan's words that made her feel particularly uncomfortable after hearing it.
"You've known each other for a long time, and it looks like a tacit understanding." Mu Lingyuan observed Yan Le, she was really not the junior sister who only appeared out of thin air last night?
Yan Le cared about Mu Lingyuan's words very much, remembering that he and Mu Lingyi had only met last night, an official and an assassin, and the two sides were just using each other, Mu Lingyuan didn't remind him, he was too deep in the play.
Mu Lingyuan didn't notice Yan Le's changes, Mu Lingyi noticed it but couldn't ask, so he could only give Yan Le dishes from time to time. Mu Lingyuan didn't know the girl's thoughts, and it was difficult to guess the emotions that Mu Lingyi never revealed, but Ling Yi's performance at this time was so obvious, obviously sincere, as if he really liked this woman, and what Meng Yun said about being close to her was also true. I just hope this girl is really his junior sister. The female assassin who escaped last night also really left.
After the banquet was dismissed, after saying goodbye, Mu Lingyuan was about to be pushed away by the servant, Yan Le and Mu Lingyi saw him leave, and suddenly Mu Lingyuan asked the servant to stop, put himself back in the wheelchair, and said to the two of them with a smile: "Miss Yan Le lives in the house, don't take other girls to fight against the Si." ”
Mu Lingyi's face was always faint, and he replied: "What the eldest brother said makes sense. But Ling Yi had his own ideas. ”
Yan Le looked at Mu Lingyi, although he respected his eldest brother, but if the two of them wanted to say that they were close, it should be ordinary, otherwise Mu Lingyi would not just be faint, and the real smile would always be revealed. And if he is too good to himself, won't he be suspected by his eldest brother?
Mu Lingyuan's departure made Yan Le's tense nerves finally let go, she lowered her head and sighed softly. Suddenly feeling Mu Lingyi's hair gently rubbing the top of her head, she looked up in surprise, thinking that the intimacy between them was to hide people's eyes, and her heart resisted for a while, avoiding Mu Lingyi's hand.
Mu Lingyi's hand was slightly sluggish, and he withdrew it and put it down, and his tone to Yan Le was still the same as before, gentle and a little doting, "Go back, fool." Yan Le noticed that the gentleness in his tone was still so deliberate, and felt that he should have eyeliner here when he did this, so he didn't open his mouth to refute his fool, and walked out of the courtyard side by side with Mu Lingyi, and returned to Mu Lingyi's own courtyard. Compared with the maids and servants who appeared from time to time in Mu Lingyuan's yard, there were almost no maids waiting in Mu Lingyuan's yard. Actually, there are still some, but very few.
Mu Lingyi led Yan Le to the room opposite his room, which was cleaned up by the maid in the morning, clean and tidy, and elegantly decorated, after Yan Le entered the house, Mu Lingyi also followed, and before Yan Le could react, Mu Lingyi turned around and closed the door. She had gone wrong since her eldest brother questioned how long they had known each other, and she avoided her own hand, which was really different from her natural reaction before.
Yan Le was a little puzzled, could it be that there was a mistake in his performance just now, and he was going to question himself? Mu Lingyi saw that she was obviously full of doubts but didn't speak, a little helpless, her mouth unconsciously rose, and said, "What's wrong with you, suddenly so estranged from me." ”
Yan Le didn't expect him to say this, a little embarrassed, how did he find out, he just felt that he couldn't get into the play too deeply, and his unconscious closeness was more restrained. Yan Le drove away those distracting thoughts in his mind, and emphasized that between them, only their respective values existed. She looked at Mu Lingyi seriously and said: "You can start with Mr. Yin from the mouth of the black, that cliff should be found quickly, for Wu Linhou's people, you should go and discuss with Wu Linhou......"
Yan Le took a step closer to her every time she said a word, but she didn't interrupt her, she didn't stop, she seemed to be very engaged, until she forced her to touch the round table, she stopped, looked at the table behind her, frowned slightly and looked at herself in front of her, her cheeks flushed.
Yan Le looked at Mu Lingyi like this, as if he was deliberately bullying himself, and he was inexplicably a little flustered, didn't he understand the difference between men and women? How could he bully himself like this, and suddenly remembered that he had been letting him do his hands and feet before, which was too, which gave him the illusion that he could bully himself at will.
Yan Le raised her hand uncomfortably, and she pushed Mu Lingyi's chest. His chest was extremely hard, and as soon as Yan Le touched it, his hand was a little weak, and his face felt even hotter. Yan Le felt that her heart was beating extremely fast, she cheered for herself, if she didn't resist, it would be a pustule! She increased the strength in her hand, and Mu Lingyi let her push, completely still, looking down at Yan Le, who was just up to her shoulder.
His voice was a little soft, and since it was a little demagoguery, "How many days have we known each other?" When Yan Le heard this question, he stopped what he was doing, looked up at him, and answered him honestly, "It's not been two days." ”
Mu Lingyi continued, "Last night, today, you and I were very comfortable getting along, didn't we, why did you have to turn your face because of a word." ”
Turn? What he said was too serious, Yan Le thought to himself. continued to answer him, "I didn't turn my face with you, it's just Mu Gongzi, we still don't have to be too close in private, I will try my best to help you eradicate the killer organization." Yan Le said with a sincere face. Mu Lingyi shook his head and said directly: "I am sincere to you, do you believe it?" This sentence exploded to Yan Le, her mind suddenly went blank, two days, no, not two days, did he say that he liked himself, she recalled it well, the first time she met, the waterfall, the enemy together, take her home, and then hide the relationship between brothers and sisters, um...... Although there are a lot of things between them, it seems a bit exaggerated to involve the love between men and women.
Mu Lingyi couldn't help Yan Le to be so sluggish, and continued to say: "If it were the woman next to me, I wouldn't be like this, and he wanted to continue to say that he was interrupted by Yan Le." Yan Le looked up at him and said firmly: "We have only known each other for two days, you can ask me to help you, but don't tempt me with feelings." ”
Mu Lingyi was still afraid that she wouldn't understand the emotional meaning of her words, but when she heard her use the word temptation, she smiled heartily. "Temptation? Well, that's right, it's temptation, so do you accept it? Yan Le looked at him and admitted, a little surprised, a little angry, "You admit to playing me?" You don't have to look like this, I'm just using you! "Oh?" Mu Lingyi pretended to be at a loss and asked Yan Le, "Then what do I have that you can use?" ”
"First of all, I have nowhere to go and no money," the day's food and clothing problems made her realize that she needed money to live outside, which she had not thought of when she ran away before. "Second, under your protection, I am avoiding the pursuit," and suddenly another five-person flanking attack, which is really dangerous. "Third, you treat me very well, and I can accept your conditions." After helping him eradicate the organization, he didn't have to hide anymore, and after the three conditions were said, Yan Le felt that he had taken advantage.
Mu Lingyi pretended to be thoughtful, nodded, and looked serious. "It turns out that you have gained so much benefit from me, but you have not found the best part." "What?" Yan Le was surprised that there was something else. Could it be that after the success of the matter, she can travel all over the world without worrying about food and clothing? That's what's best for her.
Mu Lingyi knocked her forehead and said, "I'll talk about it when you find out." "There was a knock on the door outside, it was the maid in the morning, and there was a total of one maid in Mu Lingyi's yard." What's the matter? Mu Lingyi still maintained the posture of separating Yan Le from the table and himself. Yan Le listened to him turn his head to the door and asked, the tone of his voice really changed very quickly, and it was gentle just now, but now there was no emotional ups and downs.
