Lian Wei felt nervous and was thinking about what to say next, because this was the first time he had met a junior brother like this.
Yu Jianyi lowered his head, looking even more listless than before. His drunkenness made him sway from time to time, but fortunately he was able to stand steadily.
Finally, Su Qingning brought Lian Wei and the others to a willow tree by the river. There was no one around, but there was a stone.
As Su Qingning said, Su Wan'er often came here alone to read.
Now the spring breeze is blowing and the willows are swaying, but the school girl is still on her way back home.
Su Qingning said to Lian Wei: "You guys stay here, we'll go there."
As she said this, Su Qingning pulled Lian Qiao and ran to the side. Fearing that she would be hurt by the sword energy, Su Qingning deliberately moved Lian Qiao in front of herself.
Lian Qiao didn't know what Su Qingning was doing, but looking at her sister and senior brother, Lian Qiao frowned.
When he was young, Lian Wei was a head taller than Yu Jianyi when he stood in front of him.
A few years ago, Yu Jianyi and Lian Wei stood face to face because of an unknown sword-fighting match, and he was taller than Lian Wei.
At this moment, the two of them stood here, shedding the immaturity of their youth and the youth of a few years ago.
Look at each other.
The two spoke almost at the same time.
"Sister."
"Junior Brother Yu."
But after they both spoke, they were stunned for a moment and then stopped talking.
Yu Jianyi moved his lips and stood still.
Everything is quiet.
The gentle spring breeze seemed to be frozen at this moment.
Yu Jianyi looked at his senior sister.
Lian Wei looked at Yu Jianyi.
Lian Wei sighed softly, thinking of what the Empress said, that some things should be said directly, not all words will work if expressed euphemistically, and not all words should be said directly.
Lian Wei understood what the Empress meant, and it seemed that he should be more direct now.
Lian Wei looked at Yu Jianyi and said softly, "Junior brother, Senior sister has someone she likes."
Yu Jian was stunned for a moment. Senior Sister also knew about it, but it didn't seem to matter anymore, because now Yu Jian felt suffocated and wanted to breathe deeply. It was a bit uncomfortable, a suffocating feeling, but even though he knew that Senior Sister had someone she liked, he still felt uncomfortable.
For some reason, Yu Jianyi felt a little regretful. He regretted that he had followed along even though he felt uneasy on the road.
Lian Wei looked at Yu Jianyi and saw that his junior brother's face was flushed after getting drunk. He could see that his junior brother had become much more haggard these days. After biting his lips lightly, Lian Wei said, "Yes."
But then he spoke.
Yu Jianyi said: "Miss Su is a very nice person, and she is a good match for me. She also likes you very much, I know that."
Yu Jianyi's voice became lower and lower, and he felt more and more uncomfortable.
How to let go
The person you like tells you in person that he or she likes someone else.
There is no way to let it go.
Can't let go.
Lian Wei said softly: "I used to think that you hated me, or didn't like me. After all, you have always been avoiding me, and every time you talk to me, it's to ask me about the sword. So I don't know what you mean."
Lian Wei bit his lip lightly, not knowing what to say because he felt a little reluctant.
Yu Jian was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Lian Wei: "What if I was with..."
At this point, Yu Jianyi hesitated, looked away, not daring to look at Lian Wei again, and said in a hoarse voice: "If... If I had expressed my feelings to you before, would you have liked me?"
Yu Jianyi's voice became smaller and smaller, until it seemed to be covered by the sound of the willows being blown by the wind.
However, Lian Wei heard it clearly and didn't want to deceive his junior brother, so he said softly, "No."
Two words.
Lian Wei showed a trace of sadness, but it seemed that this was how things should be.
Yu Jianyi smiled bitterly. He knew the result, but still wanted to ask this stupid question that would hurt others and himself.
Yu Jianyi said softly: "This is the right way, there is no such reason in the world."
Lian Wei heard this, stretched out his hand to take off the silk in front of him, and looked at Yu Jianyi: "Junior brother, that's right."
Yu Jianyi knew what Lian Wei was going to say and looked at Lian Wei, but just as he was about to speak, he saw Lian Wei taking off the silk with clear eyes.
The beauty of the woman you like is extremely moving at first sight. She is the only one in your beautiful sight, and even your eyes cannot contain her. You can only invite her to stay between your heart and above your mind.
But he also looked at Lian Wei and smiled sadly: "Senior Sister."
Then, he looked at Lian Wei and said, "I know that Senior Sister came here because she didn't want me to have a demon in my heart, but Senior Sister, you don't have to do this. I like you, and this matter is very important to me, but it is not important to Senior Sister. Because if I don't like you, Senior Sister, then Senior Sister has to like me."
"and"
Yu Jianyi paused for a moment, glanced at the ripples on the water, and said with a wry smile: "The senior sister I like never says sorry to anyone."
Lian Wei bit his lip lightly, feeling helpless about the matter and not knowing what to say.
just
After thinking for a moment, Lian Wei said, "If you start to hate me, I don't care, but I will still treat you as my junior brother."
Even though Lian Wei knew that he was not Yu Jianyi's opponent, it was because Yu Jianyi's swordsmanship was honed by the word "hide the edge" and he would only draw the sword when he drew it, but it had nothing to do with the strength of the opponent.
The relationship between senior sister and junior brother is just like that between sister and brother, it's that simple.
Upon hearing this, Yu Jianyi smiled miserably and wanted to say something, but stopped abruptly. He just clasped his fists towards Lian Wei and said, "Yu Jianyi, hello, Senior Sister."
A gift that should have been performed a few days ago.
It only works when you see it in the moment.
It's not a relief, it's just an explanation.
You treat me as your junior brother, so why wouldn't I want to continue to treat you as my senior sister?
But
Anything else to say?
It seems like there is nothing to say, because just a few simple sentences explain everything.
Lian Wei clasped his fists in return and wanted to speak, but bit his lips lightly. He felt that there was no need to say anything because this was enough.
Not far away, Su Qingning frowned: "Do masters have to keep looking at each other before fighting? And I can't hear what they are saying clearly."
Lian Qiao looked at Su Qingning with a strange expression.
Su Qingning was surprised: "What's wrong?"
Lian Qiao shook her head: "They are not going to fight, it's just that my senior brother likes my sister, and my sister likes your sister, so we came here to make it clear."
Su Qingning blinked: "Ah?"
When Su Qingning, who was full of confusion and doubt, said "Huh?", Lian Wei said: "Qingning, let's go."
Su Qingning looked at Lian Wei, pursed her lips, looked at Lian Wei, then looked at Yu Jianyi, and while she was hesitant to speak, she ran to Lian Wei, looked at Lian Wei carefully, then looked at Yu Jianyi. She really wanted to speak, but didn't know whether she should say it or not!
Yu Jianyi stood there, unwilling to move for a long time.
If you can't let go of something, it's impossible to let go of it, even if you say it out loud.
But after saying this, I wanted to drink even more.
The wine tastes so bad, but I just want to drink it. It's really weird.
Lian Qiao walked to Yu Jianyi and said, "Senior Brother."
Yu Jianyi looked at Lian Qiao and asked, "Would you like to drink?"
Lian Qiao frowned, looking at her tearful senior brother, feeling a little distressed: "Well, drink."
Lian Wei felt complicated because he had finally talked it out, but when he thought about Yu Jianyi's expression just now, Lian Wei finally understood why the Empress looked at Miss Pei with a bitter smile that day outside Jiangling City.
It turns out that this kind of thing sounds easy to do, but it is so painful to actually do it.
It is incomprehensible and extremely difficult to let go.
Su Qingning looked at Lian Wei and pursed her lips: "Sister Lian Wei, I think..."
When Su Qingning spoke.
Lian Wei looked at her and said with a smile: "Let's go find your sister."
Su Qingning nodded immediately, then shook her head: "She will punish me by making me copy books!"
Lian Wei smiled and said, "No."
People in the underworld have their own underworld.
Some things cannot be explained clearly, nor can they be explained thoroughly.
However, just a few miles outside the capital, Maomao, Yan Ruyu, Ruyu's father and a one-armed man were looking at the capital.
……
PS: I said 12 o'clock, but it was 13 minutes late. My apologies.
Chapter 609 The Cat is Back
Maomao walked beside Yan Ruyu with a small bag on her back, looking at the towering walls of the capital city and the merchants and tourists coming and going around.
Maomao heaved a sigh of relief, as she had finally arrived. Just as what she had thought when she first saw Dunhuang, she had finally arrived because she had family in Dunhuang, and she came back to Beijing because she also had family here.
"It's been so many years since I came back." Baoxian, Ruyu's father, sighed while looking at the city wall in the distance with his hands clasped together.
Baoxian then looked at Yan Ruyu beside him and said, "If your mother starts to beat me, remember to speak up for your father."
