Chapter 3

You Qinyuan hid at the edge of the inn and watched as Ye Wanwan walked far away.
Only after he couldn't see her did he slowly walk out of the darkness.
It was already so late, and he didn't know if Shuye had fallen asleep.
As she thought about it, she leapt onto the roof and began to move between the roof and the roof at high speed.Just as they were about to reach the entrance, the door to the Yin Pavilion opened and a man dressed in green walked out carrying a lantern.
You Qinyuan stared blankly for a moment, then smiled helplessly, "Why aren't you resting yet?" Gong Shuye looked at her, "I sensed your aura, so I came out to take a look...
You didn't come back at such a late hour, so I was a little worried.You Qinyuan immediately stepped through the door and said to Gong Shuye, who was following closely behind him, "What do I have to worry about?
I'll rest on my own next day.
There's no need to wait for me.""Gong Shuye didn't speak.When You Qinyuan reached the door of his room, he turned around and said, "I'm going out tomorrow.
I might not be able to return for a while.
I'll have to trouble you with the things in this pavilion." Gong Shuye looked at her in confusion, "You want to go out again?
Yuan Er, where are you going?
How long are you going?" You Qinyuan sighed, "Shuye...
don't always treat me like a kid.
There are some things you don't need to know."This trip would take a long time.
Send me a message if there was anything important.
As for the location, it was the same place as before."Well, I'm very tired.
I want to rest.
You should rest early too." After saying that, she closed the door.Gong Shuye sat alone in the courtyard.
She was dressed as a woman when she returned!
Just what had she been up to?
How could he possibly not be worried about her?
He cared about her so much and liked her.
Yuan Er...
do you understand what I mean?
Do you know...?
Sigh...
Gong Shuye bitterly smiled as he stood up and walked back into his room...You Qinyuan and Yi were lying on the bed.
She didn't know why she had made such a decision.
She suddenly recalled Ye Wanmei's words.
Could it be that she really fell in love with him?
That's impossible.
How could the word 'like' appear on her body?
She didn't even know what it felt like to like him, so where did she come from?
But...
when she was together with him, she had truly become different from herself..She rolled over, unable to fall asleep.
Then, she turned over and closed her eyes tightly.
After a while, she opened her eyes helplessly, but she still couldn't sleep!
She actually couldn't sleep!
She got off the bed, took out her sword from the shelf at the side, opened the door, and slowly walked out.
When she arrived at the bottom of the plum tree, plum fragrance filled her nostrils.
She calmed down, pulled out her sword, and began to dance under the plum tree...
The sword became increasingly hurried, and You Qinyuan's breathing gradually became heavier.She would occasionally pick up the plum blossom petals on the ground.
Under the moonlight, a woman was dancing under a tree, and plum blossoms flew everywhere...Finally, she swung her sword and slowly sat down on the tree.
Her mind was filled with the image of You Qinyuan learning sword arts under the moonlight.
Large drops of sweat trickled down You Qinyuan's forehead.
She tried hard to calm her breathing and maintain her clear mind, but the figure of the white-robed man couldn't be shaken away.After an unknown period of time, she had actually fallen asleep while leaning against a tree...
In her sleep, she dreamt that she was dancing under a pear tree with a white clothed man.
However, the white clothed man could not see his face clearly.
She tried her best to look up, but it was still blurry and unclear..After an unknown amount of time, she had actually fallen asleep while leaning against a tree...
In her sleep, she dreamt that she was dancing under a pear tree with a white clothed man.
However, the white clothed man couldn't see his face clearly.
She tried her best to look up, but it was still blurry and unclear...When You Qinyuan woke up, it was already early morning.
She moved her neck and stiffened, "Why are you sleeping here?
Seriously, my back hurts..." You Qinyuan stood up, stretched out, and looked around.
It was still early morning, and the Yin Pavilion was very quiet, as if it had fallen into deep slumber.You Qinyuan slowly walked back to his room, took out the bag he had prepared last night, placed the Sword of the Fallen Xuanyuan in the bag, and left the room.The moment she walked out, Gong Shuye opened the door and looked at her back.
He sighed silently.He had also lost his sleep last night.
He had caught sight of You Qinyuan brandishing his sword in the courtyard, and had heard her name in her sleep.
Ye Huazhi, was it?
When had she become acquainted with the young master?
Although You Qinyuan was known as Jianghu, she didn't have many friends.
Gong Shuye didn't know when she had met Ye Huazhi.Gong Shuye was certain that You Qinyuan had gone out to look for Ye Hua.
He couldn't believe that she, who had always been an outsider like Leng Bingbing, would call out someone's name so gently.Did Yuan Er fall in love with him?You Qinyuan randomly found an inn and ordered a few dishes.
Then, he quietly sat in a corner and waited for his temple.
Although You Qinyuan kept a low profile, her appearance still attracted the attention of others.
As expected, it was more convenient for him to dress as a man outside.
You Qinyuan bit a steamed bun and thought to himself.You Qinyuan slowly raised his head, only to see a man standing in front of her.
She glanced at him before lowering her head once more, "Young master, is there something wrong?" His voice was cold and emotionless.
The man's attendant responded, "How dare you speak to our young master in such a manner!" With a wave of his hand, the man immediately shut his mouth.The man smiled faintly, "Miss, there's no more seats around.
Can I sit here?" You Qinyuan raised his head and looked around.
Sure enough, there weren't any other seats.Only then did she look at the man again.
He had elegant long brows, phoenix eyes, straight nose, and thin lips that slightly curved into a beautiful curve.
She lowered her head and said, "Please do as you please.
"The man sat down, "Many thanks, Young Lady."You Qinyuan didn't even spare a glance at the man.
Instead, the man continued to scrutinize You Qinyuan.
You Qinyuan frowned and said, "Is there something on my face?
The young master has been staring at me all this time." The man raised his eyebrows and narrowed his phoenix eyes, "No, I just think the girl looks familiar."You Qinyuan sneered in his heart, "Friendly?
What a lame way to strike up a conversation." The man wasn't annoyed by her words.
He simply smiled, "Young miss really is rejecting people from thousands of miles away."You Qinyuan didn't say anything.
He just ate his own food.Hmph, do you think that you're a little too good-looking, and that you have to be gentle with him?
You Qinyuan has seen a lot of good-looking men.
Shuye is one, and Ye Huazhi is the same.
Thinking of Ye Huazhi, she unconsciously recalled his silhouette dancing with his sword...
She swallowed her last mouthful of steamed buns, "Waiter, pay the bill."After paying, she picked up her bag and walked towards the door.
From start to finish, she didn't look at the man again.
The smile on the man's lips deepened, and he said to his attendant, "Check her identity for me.""Yes, Master."You Qinyuan walked on the street.
The man's identity was definitely not simple.
He was dressed well and had an extraordinary temperament.
He definitely wasn't an ordinary person.Someone called out her name from the side, but she was too focused and didn't hear it.
It wasn't until someone patted her on the shoulder that she turned around vigilantly, "Ye Gongzi?
Meier?
What are you guys doing here?" Ye Huazhi smiled, "What was the girl thinking earlier?
Why are you so entranced?" You Qinyuan smiled awkwardly, "It's nothing.""..."Ye Wanmei looked at the bundle on her back and asked in confusion, "Eh?
Big sis, where are you going with the bundle on your back?" Ye Huazhi also looked at her with a puzzled expression.
You Qinyuan responded with a line that he had long since thought of, "It's like this.
Since there aren't any relatives here, I'm prepared to leave.""As for where to go, I haven't decided yet..."Ye Wanmei pouted, "Big sis, if I hadn't bumped into you here today, you would have left.
Big sis, have you forgotten your deal with Meier?" You Qinyuan smiled apologetically, "Meier...
I'm sorry.
I have no other choice.
I have no place to stay here, so I can't possibly stay in the inn forever, right?"So..." Ye Wanmei's eyes flashed with mirth, "Then what's the point?"Big sis, come to my house!
It's big enough anyway.
I'm the only one with big sis." You Qinyuan revealed a troubled expression on his face, and his heart was filled with glee, "This...
this isn't a good idea." Ye Huazhi pondered for a moment before adding, "It's fine, Miss You.
You don't have anywhere to go alone.
Meier likes you so much, so it's perfect for you two to be his companions."You Qinyuan wanted to refuse, but Ye Wanmei said, "Big sis, just agree.
Otherwise, Meier wouldn't have allowed big sis to leave.""You Qinyuan had no choice but to nod his head.
In truth, her eyes had already flashed with an evil smile.Ye Wanmei was also very happy in his heart.
This time, he could slowly build up the relationship between Big Sister You and Big Brother.
She really liked Big Sister You.
Big Brother must take Big Sister back as his sister-in-law!
Hehe!She entered the Night Manor once more and followed Ye Hua Zhi into a wing room on the west side.
There was also a large pear tree on the opposite side of the room.
The night brilliance said, "This place is quieter and closer to Meier's bedroom.
Are you satisfied?" You Qinyuan nodded, "I'll have to trouble you."Ye Huazhi smiled, "It's nothing much.""..."You Qinyuan suddenly recalled something, "That's right, I didn't see your parents even though I came here twice..." "Hehe, father and mother died early, and only left this house behind.
That's why, apart from a few servants, there are only Meier and I in this room.
Young miss, you don't have to be restrained.
You can do whatever you want."Ye Huazhi smiled faintly, but there wasn't a hint of a smile in his beautiful eyes.
You Qinyuan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly responded, "I'm sorry, I didn't know..." Ye Huazhi waved his hand, "It's nothing.
It's been so many years."I've long since gotten used to it.
I'll head out first.
If there's anything, I'll call the servants.
You Qinyuan nodded.In fact, she did not bring much with her.
There were just a few fresh clothes, some pieces of silver and a sword.
She put the things in the wardrobe and looked around the room.
It was simple and clean, but she felt that there was something missing.
After thinking about it, she understood.The maidservant glanced at her, and knew that she was a guest that the young master had brought back.
She asked respectfully, "Miss, do you have any orders?" You Qinyuan asked, "Mm...
I wonder if there's a Plum Blossom Tree in the manor?" The maidservant nodded, "Yes, there's one in the young master's study.""As she spoke, she pointed at the general position.After thanking her, You Qinyuan headed in the direction of the study.Before they could even enter, they could already smell the fragrance of plum blossoms.
You Qinyuan stood under a tree and looked at the plum blossoms in distress.
If it were any other time, he would've used his Qinggong to climb up.
But now...
what was he supposed to do?
A voice rang out from behind him, "What's wrong?" You Qinyuan turned around and looked at Ye Huazhi, "May I ask Young Master for a favor?" He smiled and nodded, "But there's no harm in saying it."You Qinyuan asked, "How about you help me pluck a plum blossom?"As soon as he finished speaking, a white silhouette flashed by.
Nightlight was already on the tree.
After folding a plum blossom, it gently leapt down and handed it to You Qinyuan, "What do you want?" You Qinyuan received it, "Many thanks.
I feel like there's something missing in my room.
I feel like I've lost some flowers to decorate myself.
The plum blossoms not only have a beautiful color, but also have the fragrance of flowers.
It's suitable for me to put them in my room."Ye Huazhi nodded and didn't say another word.You Qinyuan asked, "Where's Mei'er?" "I don't know.
She's already gone.
You don't have to worry about her either.
She'll show up soon." You Qinyuan nodded, "Is there anything else you need to do?
Then you should get busy.
I won't bother you anymore." With that, he took Meihua and left.Ye Huazhi watched as she turned around and walked into the study room.
He picked up the Xuan paper on the table and saw a woman with a smile on her lips.
This woman was none other than You Qinyuan.
Ye Huazhi picked up the pen and placed another plum blossom in the woman's hand.
He looked at the woman in the painting and smiled subconsciously...
