"It's so late, why are you here?" Yu Shu looked at the approaching figure and asked. Jing Chen also turned around and was a little surprised to see that the person coming was Xue Rui. Xue Rui and Jing Chen looked at each other, nodded, and after greeting each other, he said to Yu Shu: "I have to go out on business for a few days, and I came to see you to calculate the itinerary. Is it convenient for you now?" Although Yu Shu was surprised that the dignified Xue family didn't even have Master Yi as a guest to ask for divination, and such daily matters required him to come to her, she still agreed: "What's the inconvenience? You've had dinner." Are you ready?" Xue Rui nodded, looked at the food they were carrying, and asked, "You haven't eaten yet?" Yu Shu raised the candy cake in his hand, "It's too cold to make it, so I went out to buy it. Let's go back to my house first." Xue Rui glanced at Jing Chen and nodded: "Okay." Facing Xue Rui's sudden visit, Yu Shu didn't think much and took him home. Yu Xiaoxiu saw Xue Rui coming. He was very happy. He called Brother Xue and ran to the kitchen to boil water and make tea without Yu Shu's help. Jing Chen walked behind Yu Shu and Xue Rui and put the food in his hands on the table. He originally wanted to go back to the room, but when he walked to the door, he thought again, Xiaoyu is now a woman and it is inconvenient to be with a man. He stood at the door without going out, turned around and watched the two of them talking. Yu Shu led Xue Rui to sit down at the table and asked: "When will you go out, what do you want me to calculate?" You left it last time. Let¡¯s try again to see if there are any taboos in this business and whether it goes well.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll leave it for you tomorrow morning. You can sit down for a while.¡± Yu Shu stood up and walked into the house. . Xue Rui stopped her and said, "You haven't eaten yet, you eat first, I'm not in a hurry." Yu Shu waved his hand, "It's okay, I just filled my stomach" He turned around and saw Jing Chen still standing at the door, and said to him : "Jing Chen eats first, don't wait for me." After saying that, he went into the back room, lit the lamp, laid out paper, and found out the horoscope calculation that Xue Rui left for her last time. It was rare that Xue Rui asked her for help. She was It must be calculated carefully, not to mention that Jing Chen is here, I wonder if it will affect him. Xue Rui and Jing Chen were the only two people left in the main room. It became quiet for a while. Yu Shu, who had nothing going on outside the window, turned back to Jing Chen, who had been standing at the door watching him quietly since just now, and asked: "Why is Young Master Jing looking at Xue like this?" Jing Chen thought for a while and said truthfully: " I think you look familiar, as if I¡¯ve seen you before.¡± The implication is that they have never met before. Xue Rui then pointed to the empty seat opposite the table: "Sit down." Jing Chen walked over and sat down, his eyes still falling on Xue Rui's face. If someone else was staring at him like this, he would have felt uncomfortable, but Xue Rui With a nonchalant look, he asked: "You have lived in Anling City for a while, right? I heard Ashu said that you came to the capital for business. I would like to ask, how did things go?" Although Yu Shu didn't. Explain Jingchen¡¯s origin, but Xue Rui interrogated a lot from the Taiheng Chamber of Commerce case, so he knew that Jingchen was fished out of the river on the way to the boat. He was seriously injured and was taken care of by Yu Shu. Escape from the ship. Xue Rui saw that Yu Shu was very close to Jing Chen, and he felt a sense of adversity. However, he was worried that people like Jing Chen, who had grudges, would be detrimental to Yu Shu sooner or later. Xue Rui also knew that Yu Shu was a person who valued friendship very much. He was saved by a killer that night and was saved by Jing Chen's knife. He thought of this friendship and told her to stay away from this person, which would definitely make her unhappy, so he He never asked her about Jing Chen. But Xue Rui doesn't want to let them get along for such a long time, whether out of concern or selfishness. After hearing Xue Rui's inquiry, Jing Chen thought that Yu Shu had deceived someone again, and it would be hard to expose her lies. He thought carefully about how to answer, and then said: "There is no progress, maybe we have to wait for a while." Xue Rui said. : "Is there any difficulty? Xue takes the liberty of asking you why you came to Anling. If there is anyone who can help, please give me a helping hand." ".1" Jing Chen doesn't know how to lie. , faced Xue Rui's questioning, but couldn't answer, so he fell silent. Xue Rui continued to ask unhurriedly: "Is there anything inconvenient to say?" "I want to find someone." Jing Chen spoke slowly, although he was hiding something, it was true.?, he lost his memory and was reminded in his dream that he went down the mountain to find a "life-breaker", but he had no idea who or where that person was. "Oh?" Xue Rui's eyes flickered, and he clasped his fingers on the table. He looked at Jing Chen and said seriously: "Is he a relative or a friend? If you are looking for someone, you might as well tell me the physical characteristics of that person. I am in Beijing. There are some connections in there that I can help you find out." After speaking, Jing Chen shook his head, but there was no further explanation. Xue Rui was wondering what he meant by shaking his head when Yu Xiaoxiu opened the door and walked in with a teapot. He then dropped the topic and said: "It's not convenient to talk about it. Then you can talk to me when you need help." "Jing Chen nodded, "Thank you." Yu Xiaoxiu poured a cup of hot tea for Xue Rui and Jing Chen, then sat next to Xue Rui and asked, "Brother Xue, how many days will you be away?" She was thinking about Xue Rui's promise to take him riding a horse, and worried that if he went out, he would not be able to come back, and that the promise would no longer count. When Yu Shu arrived in the capital, the economy was in turmoil. Yu Xiaoxiu no longer had the pressure of being in the Ji family and started playing with his peers. After a while, he became more childish. He couldn't be said to be playful, but he was not like before. He only knew how to be alone. Study, do housework, and don¡¯t care about anything else. Yu Shuba didn¡¯t want him to have a more cheerful personality, so he would control him less. Fortunately, Yu Xiaoxiu was very obedient and reassuring. Xue Rui stretched out his hand to touch his head and said with a smile: "I'll be back in six or seven days at most. Aren't you on the fifth and sixth day of the next month from the academy? As soon as I come back, I will take you to ride a horse." "Yes." Yu Xiaoxiu was shy and a little happy when he told him what he was thinking. His stomach growled twice, and he unpacked the cooked food on the table and handed a piece of meat to Xue Rui. Xue Rui said, "I've had dinner." Yu Xiaoxiu rummaged through the oil paper again, picked up a tea egg, turned to Jing Chen, who had difficulty with his right hand, and said, "Brother Jing, let me peel an egg for you." "Yeah. After waiting for about half an hour, Yu Shu came out of the room with various notes in his hand and handed it to Xue Rui: "It's no big deal, it's just that you may encounter the first snow in the few days you go out, so pay attention to the driving route. It's slippery, don't rush back and forth, be careful of getting stuck on the road. ¡± In ancient times, roads did not extend in all directions. Not far from the city were the suburbs. The roads in the suburbs were not easy to walk. When it rained and snowed heavily, it was common for horses to get stuck and overturned due to muddy conditions. As we entered the depths of winter, the weather became day-by-day. Colder than a day. Yu Shu is good at predicting sunshine and rain. He has not done more in-depth research on more complex weather changes. It is not clear whether the rain in the twelfth lunar month will have a sign of snow. But he still reminded Xue specifically. Rui Rui said a few words. Xue Rui wrote down Yu Shu's instructions, folded the note and put it in his sleeve. Seeing that it was getting late, he stood up and said goodbye: "I have to get up early tomorrow, so I won't stay too long. Seeing that he was leaving, Yu Shu hesitated for a moment, then took off the lantern behind the door and said to Xue Rui: "It's dark outside, I'll see you off." " She is not a sloppy person. Since she plans to speak clearly to Xue Rui today, it is better to choose a different day than to hit the sun and delay it until the start of the Dayan test. It will be a burden on her mind and distract her Xue Before Rui said anything, Jing Chen spoke first: "I'll send it off. Hearing this, Xue Rui, who had already reached the door of the house, turned to look at him, then looked at Yu Shu, and said with a smile: "Everyone, please stay. The sedan is waiting outside on the street. I won't get lost in the dark." . " Jing Chen's idea is very simple. In the past, he regarded Yu Shu as a man, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with her occasionally walking at night. But after knowing that she is a woman, he inevitably has to think more about it. " Yu Shu is probably Guessing what Jing Chen was thinking, it was funny that he suddenly became weak in his eyes. Because he had something to say to Xue Rui, he said to Jing Chen: "Zang will send him to the entrance of the alley and come back. " Jingchen wanted to send him to the alley not far away, so he didn't say anything else. Seeing that Yu Shu insisted on sending him away, Xue Rui thought that she had something else to say, so he said goodbye to Jingchen and Yu Xiaoxiu, and followed her carrying a lantern. After leaving the house, at this time, half of the neighbors had closed their doors and turned off their lights, and went to sleep. The wild cats also found corners of their houses to take shelter from the cold. The alley was quiet, with only one lantern lighting up the road half a foot away in front of them. The Taoist figures walked on the bumpy road with an arm's length apart. "How are you preparing for the exam? I heard Zhaomiao said that you only went to Taishi Shuyuan twice and never went back. " "After reading the files over the years, I just have an idea. I am afraid of causing trouble to Mr. Feng again. The other subjects were all easy to explain, but I was not good at arranging words and sentences. I was afraid that I might miss the question and fail the exam. " Yu Shu replied while thinking about how to talk to Xue Rui. "Well, it doesn't matter. Just write it clearly when the time comes. Remember to keep your test sticker and don't lose it." Xue Rui warned a few words, then changed the subject and said: "That's right, You don't have to go out tomorrow. This month, Dali Temple will provide an extra thirty kilograms of green charcoal. I'll send someone to bring it to you. " When Xue Rui came last time, he found that there was no charcoal fire at Yu Shu's house. It was fine a while ago. There was a winter rain today, and it was about to freeze. If she didn't add a stove to burn charcoal, winter would be very difficult. She had to take exams again. If she studied at night, without a pot of charcoal fire, her hands and feet would easily freeze. If it's snowing, you might get cold and get sick. Yu Shu's expression changed, and she turned to look at Xue Rui. His eyes were full of warmth, and she suddenly felt a little irritable. She pursed her lips and suddenly stopped, and Xue Rui also stopped. "What's wrong?" At this time, Xue Rui finally realized that something was wrong with her. "Brother Xue," Yu Shu looked away, looked at the hazy light and shadow on the road, and lowered his voice: "Stop spending time on me. You and I can only be close friends." Shu's meaningless words went over in his mind before he thought about it. Looking at the faint expression on Yu Shu's face, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and reveal an unknown smile. He just thought that this girl was born without a muscle, but he didn't expect that she knew it in her heart. Xue Rui was not impatient at this time. Instead, he lowered his head and asked her softly: "Since we are close friends, what's wrong with me paying more attention to you?" Sensing his approach, she smelled a light scent of books, and then Shu changed the lantern in his hand to hold it in another hand, took half a step away without leaving a trace, sighed softly, and whispered: "No, I already have the person I like, and I can no longer accept your kindness. " Yu Shu lowered her head and could not see Xue Rui's expression at this moment. She nervously waited for his reaction with sweat on her palms. In fact, she did something unreasonable. As early as when Xue Rui took over the Taiheng Chamber of Commerce case, she was aware of his intentions. Later, it became clear that he came to find her to enter Dayan. On the day of the test, she asked him why he took such good care of her. He asked back. She knew it, but she pretended to be confused with him. She doesn¡¯t know what he likes about her, otherwise she really wants to change her life. Given the difference in status between the two of them, to be able to be attracted by him, it has to be said that it¡¯s bad luck for her. Now she told him frankly that it would be a lie to say that she was not worried about offending him. It was true that Xue Rui treated her with a good temper, but when she saw the sarcastic words from the same prince in Dingbo Pavilion that day, she knew that he was also a good-natured person. The master who turns his face and disowns others, this one of the most dandy in the capital, is so easy to mess with. In the midst of Yu Shu's uneasiness, a hand gently fell on her shoulder, and Xue Rui's overly calm voice came to her ears: "It's getting late, just send it here. You can go back." After saying that, the hand on the shoulder left without stopping for a moment. Yu Shu slowly raised his head, and could only see a gradually blurred back in front of him. He squeezed the flickering lantern in his hand and swallowed dryly. Logically speaking, she should be relieved by Xue Rui's tepid reaction, but somehow, she felt that this matter was not over. Xue Rui left, and Yu Shu stood alone in the dark alley for a long time, until Jing Chen came out to find her. "Xiaoyu, what are you doing standing there?" Yu Shu came to his senses and felt that his face was chilled by the wind. He shrunk his neck, turned around and ran towards Jing Chen, handed the lantern to him and raised his hand in front of him. Breathing: "I'm freezing to death, go home quickly." On Huixing Street, a warm sedan was lifted. The silver button on the lapel, leaning against the cotton cushion behind him, pinching the center of his eyebrow with one hand, after a moment, he chuckled: "The person you likehaha."
