After dinner, Bai Yan was responsible for inviting Er Jing to the pool and asked him to wait there.

When Liu Zhuzhu saw him passing by, she gave her a thumbs up in thanks and ran over.

Bai Yan couldn't help but be curious and wanted to see what would happen to these two people.

She reached out and tugged on Pei Lin's sleeve, stood up on tiptoes and whispered to his ear secretly about Liu Zhuzhu's arrangement. Her anger went away as quickly as it came, and she was no longer angry with him now.

Pei Lin actually didn't hear much of what she said. His attention was all on her. Seeing her excitement, he nodded and went with her.

The two of them hid behind the rockery and eavesdropped on the conversation not far away.

Er Jingleng was pacing back and forth. What on earth was Nannan going to do? She invited him here so late and didn't say anything. She was so mysterious.

"Er Jing!"

He turned his head, but what he saw was not his sister. He swallowed and looked at the look on her face, and he seemed to understand a little better, "Miss Liu, I have to leave first."

He didn't know what he was afraid of. Maybe he was afraid of disrupting his already contented life. Why should he go further? When facing her, he was avoiding her.

"You, don't go, I have something to say," Liu Zhuzhu stepped forward anxiously, holding her head up as if reciting a book, and recited word for word what she had written for three days. She revised it over and over again, and asked

I asked many little sisters to help her revise it, just to avoid any ambiguity.

"I like you! I have liked you since the first time we met. At that time, you treated me..."

Bai Yan stuck her head out and listened carefully to Liu Zhuzhu's true confession. She was really sincere and didn't use any fancy words. Every sentence was about everything the two had done together since they met. Even she couldn't bear to listen.

I couldn't help but be moved.

Liu Zhuzhu stumbled and read for a long time. When the last sentence of "I like you" was finished loudly, she mustered up the courage to meet Er Jing's eyes.

The girl's sincere and persistent words moved him for a moment. Er Jing took a breath and lowered his head.

Liu Zhuzhu was as dazzling as the sun, but he preferred women who were as cold as the moonlight, such as the married daughter of the Hu family.

Everyone in the imperial city knew about his pursuit of her, and she had been married for two or three years. Knowing that she was living a happy life, he didn't want to continue to be entangled with her, but he couldn't let anyone go in his heart.

"Sorry, Miss Liu..."

"Don't call me Miss Liu! Call me Zhuzhu."

Upon hearing the first two words, Liu Zhuzhu burst into tears.

"Okay, Zhuzhu, you are a very good girl, but I don't like you. We are more suitable to be friends."

The woman he liked would not be so reserved as to rush in front of him and confess her love to him. Er Jing nodded politely and turned around to leave.

"You will regret it! Er Jing!"

Liu Zhuzhu cried loudly, but Er Jing didn't even look back.

After watching the whole process, Bai Yan took her head back and sighed, "Brother is really a fool. It's hard to find a good girl like Liu Zhuzhu even if you hold a lantern, so you don't want her even if you get in front of him."

Pei Lin lowered his head and looked at her worrying about other people's affairs. He pursed his lips angrily and wished he could tie the two of them together. She was also so serious about other people's affairs.

He put his arms around her waist, pressed her against the rockery, and kissed her softly, which was completely different from the afternoon.

"Empress."

He didn't admit his mistake but his actions were full of submission and apology to her. He took the initiative to kiss her but it was as if he was asking her to coax him. Bai Yan sighed again.

There is a fool here, so he and Er Jing should be locked up together and have a good communication.

"This is the last time, Pei Lin! I will be really angry next time and will never forgive you again. You still pinched me, which hurts a lot."

Pei Lin frowned, "I really didn't use any force."

He was like a helpless child, not knowing whether to let go of the hand he held her in. Bai Yan relented and hugged his neck back, "I'm scaring you, it doesn't hurt."

His uneasiness and vulnerability were clearly displayed around her, testing her choices countless times and forcing her to make decisions that she had no way of making.

Everyone in the world said that Lord Pei was unparalleled in strength, but what she saw was the child huddled in the corner shivering inside his hard shell.

Longing for warmth but not daring to get close, he pushed away the embrace, hugged away and pushed away. He went back and forth only when he was extremely sure that he dared to give his sincerity.

She thought he must have experienced countless disappointments before he no longer expected anything.

If you don’t have expectations, you won’t be disappointed. Such a desireless character must have been formed in such an environment of walking on thin ice and making sacrifices.

But he had already sacrificed enough during the time when she hesitated, and he always failed miserably in front of her.

Bai Yan tried hard to give him equal devotion, but now she realized that she couldn't catch up with him at all.

In her heart, she has her parents, her brother, Xiaocui, Erxulmiao, the country, the lives of innocent people, etc., but in his heart she is the only one who is constantly competing with hatred, and she may have suppressed it now.

"Pei Lin, if you are angry next time, just kiss me to save us from arguing. If you kiss me, I will know that you are unhappy, and I will find a way to make you happy."

Pei Lin looked at her without saying anything for a while, then leaned down and kissed the tip of her slightly cold nose, "Okay."
