Chapter 176 Not stupid
"Senior Sister..." Lin Chuan took two steps at a time and walked forward eagerly. He held Jiang Wanying's soft hand tightly, his eyes full of tenderness and expectation, "Let's go back."
"Tsk, who wants to go back with you? Who are you?"
Jiang Wanying muttered softly, her pretty face full of stubbornness, but a hint of subtle shyness flashed in her bright eyes. She struggled slightly against Lin Chuan's hand, but found that Lin Chuan held it tighter.
"Senior sister~"
"Humph!"
"Sister."
"Humph!"
"What will it take for Senior Sister to come back with me?"
"Your legs are on your body, so you can go wherever you want. But you are not allowed to abandon me."
Jiang Wanying suddenly pulled her hand out of Lin Chuan's palm, then sat on a stone next to her, staring at Lin Chuan with her beautiful eyes.
"..."
"Senior sister, do you want me to carry you?" Lin Chuan asked tentatively.
"Hmph." Jiang Wanying snorted coldly and did not answer.
Helpless, Lin Chuan had to come in front of Jiang Wanying and squat down with his back to her.
"You know the truth."
Jiang Wanying raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a smug smile, and then she climbed lightly onto Lin Chuan's back.
"Senior sister, hold on tight and get ready to go back."
Lin Chuan slowly stood up and ran towards the inn with brisk steps.
"Slow down, don't fall."
Jiang Wanying held Lin Chuan tightly, with a hint of nervousness and concern in her voice.
"Achuan, what are you going to do with Master and...her?"
On the way, Jiang Wanying lay on Lin Chuan's back, hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking this heavy question.
"I don't know. Let's take it one step at a time." Lin Chuan thought about it and shook his head helplessly.
"Huh, you're so beautiful, yet you're still taking things one step at a time. What? Do you really want to marry her?"
Jiang Wanying snorted in dissatisfaction, with a hint of sourness in her words.
She stretched out her slender hand to Lin Chuan's Adam's apple and pressed it gently, as if she was venting the inexplicable little emotion in her heart, and as if she was secretly warning Lin Chuan, but the strength in her hand was just right and she didn't really use any force.
"..."
"Be good, Senior Sister. I don't mean to marry you all. I just want you all to be happy. That's enough."
As he spoke, he tilted his head slightly, his face full of sincerity, and his steps slowed down a little.
"Humph, I just like you, I'm not stupid."
"As long as I am by Achuan's side, he will never be able to enjoy the happiness of having two wives."
Jiang Wanying put her mouth slightly close to Lin Chuan and whispered in his ear. The warm breath gently brushed past Lin Chuan's ears. Although her voice was soft, it was firm and unquestionable, as faint as the breath of orchid, and seemed to carry a hint of possessiveness, which made Lin Chuan's body stiffen slightly.
Lin Chuan didn't respond. He subconsciously lifted Jiang Wanying up on his back, tightened his arms slightly, and hugged her tighter, as if he wanted to convey some comfort to his senior sister through this action.
Afterwards, he hurried on his way again, leaving only a series of hurried footsteps echoing on the silent road.
"No matter... no matter how bad it is, I have to be the biggest one, so I won't be suppressed by them."
Jiang Wanying lowered her eyes slightly and murmured to herself softly. Her voice was as thin as a mosquito's, but it revealed a stubbornness and unshakable determination.
……
The sun is shining in the sky, at the door of the inn.
Xu Hanyi paced back and forth anxiously, his steps hurried and hurried, and every step seemed to step on people's hearts.
Her face was pale as paper, devoid of any color. Her once delicate features were now filled with fatigue and worry. Her hair was scattered messily across her shoulders, with a few strands clinging to her cheeks. She looked disheveled and frail, as if she had just been through a fierce battle.
Just as Xu Hanyi bit her lip, as if she had finally made up her mind and was about to walk out, she raised her eyes inadvertently and saw a figure walking quickly towards the inn from a distance.
The figure gradually became clearer in her sight. She couldn't help but be slightly startled, and her steps paused instantly. Her eyes were fixed on the figure that was getting closer and closer, and her heart was full of complicated emotions.
"Chuan'er..."
"Ying'er..."
Looking at Lin Chuan carrying Jiang Wanying on his back, the two of them talking and laughing, and looking very intimate, Xu Hanyi felt as if something was pulling at his heart, and a sour feeling instantly surged in his heart.
She clenched the corner of her clothes, her feet rooted to the ground, but a voice in her heart was screaming wildly.
At this moment, she wanted to rush forward regardless of everything, stretch out her hand to pull Lin Chuan to her side, and let his eyes only fall on her.
"Master."
Lin Chuan carried Jiang Wanying on his back, slowly walked to Xu Hanyi and called out softly.
Jiang Wanying snorted lightly, turned her head away slightly, and looked as if she didn't want to pay attention. She closed her lips tightly and refused to say a word.
"I'm glad you're back, Ying'er. Can I have a chat with you?"
Xu Hanyi tried hard to suppress the complicated emotions in his heart, forced a gentle smile on his face, and asked Jiang Wanying softly.
"We have nothing to talk about. Achuan, I'm tired. Carry me back to the room to rest."
Jiang Wanying's tone was cold and a little willful. She still turned her head away, but reached out and gently tugged at the corner of Lin Chuan's clothes. Her meaning was obvious. She didn't want to pay any attention to Xu Hanyi's suggestion.
"Senior sister, be good."
Lin Chuan's voice was full of coaxing, and his tone was gentle yet a bit helpless.
As he spoke, he slowly squatted down, and gently and carefully put Jiang Wanying down from his back. He also reached out and touched her head, as if silently soothing his senior sister's slightly unhappy mood.
"Humph, you just said on the way that you would obey me in everything from now on, what a liar!"
Jiang Wanying said this angrily, then slowly turned to look at Xu Hanyi. Her face still showed some reluctance, but she bit her lip and said stiffly, "Let's go back to the room and talk."
In this way, the three of them walked silently to Jiang Wanying's door, and the atmosphere was a little awkward and subtle.
Lin Chuan subconsciously raised his foot to follow in, but before he could cross the threshold, he was stopped by the two women in unison:
"Chuan'er, go back to your room and rest first."
"Achuan, wait, I'll be out soon."
Lin Chuan's body froze and he stood there awkwardly. He had no choice but to retract his foot and watch the door slam shut in front of him, leaving him alone outside with a helpless look on his face.
inside the room.
The candlelight flickered gently, and the dim flame jumped from time to time under the caress of the breeze, and the light and shadow swayed on the wall.
Jiang Wanying and Xu Hanyi sat opposite each other. Their faces were illuminated by the candlelight, showing either anger or worry. They each had their own thoughts, but for a moment they didn't know how to speak first to break the somewhat dull silence.
