Yu Nian got out of bed and looked at the courtyard. Jiang Nianyan was no longer there.
Guang left a chair there, and a few rays of light from the courtyard rippled on the surface of the pool and fell on the chair. The moon is very bright tonight, so big and bright that it makes the courtyard want to reflect the light, and the ground seems to be covered with a layer of snow.
The beautiful night view somewhat relieved Yu Nian's anxiety.
There was faint movement in the living room.
She quickly walked out of the bedroom to take a look, and the scene in front of her made the uneasiness and confusion floating in her heart disappear instantly. She stood there with one hand holding the wall, and she didn't move any more for a while.
The living room was not brightly lit, but the fireplace was lit, and the wood burning inside made a slight crackling sound. It is said that the temperature in Chang'an City has also dropped in the past two days, and has dropped to about one degree after nightfall. The fireplace in this B&B is not just a simple decoration, it can warm the whole house.
Jiang Nianyan was sitting on the sofa next to the fireplace. He only lit up a floor lamp. With the light from the fireplace, he looked very relaxed and lazy. He was reading a book, which he probably took off the bookshelf, with the word "mysterious" vaguely visible.
Yu Nian thought to himself, so he still likes to read this kind of book?
Perhaps Jiang Nianyan raised his eyes when he heard the noise.
Seeing her standing not far away, his eyes were deep. When he glanced at her bare feet, he seemed helpless. He closed the book and put it aside, stood up and gave her slippers.
"Wear shoes. Although the room is warm, the ground is cold." He said and bent down to put his slippers on the ground.
Yu Nian was in a daze for a moment.
It's like going back to the past.
Every time she came out of the bedroom barefoot, Ayan would appear silently like a ghost, and then tell her, Miss, put on your slippers.
Not liking to wear slippers has been a problem she has had since she was a child, because the Yu family has a lot of carpets up and down, and most of them won't keep her feet cold. But then she kept sneezing. After the doctor diagnosed her, she found out that she was allergic to cat and dog hair. There was a puppy at home at that time, and Yu Nian brought it back from a classmate's house in person. It turned out that her allergy was too severe. , so I had to give the cub back to others while it was still young and had no feelings for it.
The puppy can no longer be kept, and the doctor does not recommend laying carpets at home, so there is no carpet in the entire Yu family. However, Yu Nian’s habit of not wearing slippers has never been changed, so Ayan needs to wear it every time he sees her. remind.
It's not just the trivial matter of wearing slippers, Ayan is her personal bodyguard, but she is not exposed to danger all the time. Over time, all the big and small things in her life become Ayan's responsibility. For example, every time she went out, he would always prepare things for her that she didn't expect to bring. He would take care of everything in detail, and he would do it on the premise of ensuring that she could complete her studies.
So her father often told her, "Look at Ayan, and then look at you. He is taking care of his homework and you, and he does both. I heard from the school that this year's scholarship has been accepted in full."
She smiled and asked her father, "Do you want me to help you save some money?"
"It would be great if you had Ayanna's ability to learn."
Ayan received the best education from the Yu family, but he did not use his true identity. Because no one knew his true identity at the beginning. Even he himself knew that his name was Ayan, but his surname was unknown. He used the identity of a distant relative in his family, so not everyone in the school knew that he was her bodyguard. Whenever they saw him, some classmates would always tell Yu Nian, "Your cousin is here to see you again."
Sometimes when Yu Nian gets playful, he will call his cousin in front of and behind Ayan, and say with a smile, "Ayan, Ayan, can I be your sister?"
Although there are relatives in the Yu family, Yu Nian doesn't like them. Despite her young age, she can still see the clinging intentions among her relatives. For example, she only has one Yu Juanzhou. Although Yu Juanzhou is getting older and more arrogant, he is her brother after all. She envies that other people have older brothers.
She liked Ayan and felt that she would be safe with him. It would be great if she had such a brother by her side forever.
Ayan would always turn red the first few times without teasing her, and then tell her, "Miss, stop joking."
But since this was Yu Nian's sincere words, he couldn't help but say it.
Until one time Ayan stared at her and said word by word, "You can't be my sister, and I don't have a sister."
That day, Yu Nian was frightened. His eyes instantly turned red and he ran away.
I ignored Ayan all afternoon.
Until that night, Ayan poured a glass of milk for her and asked her, "Are you still angry?"
She still ignored him and refused to drink the milk.
Ayan sighed lowly and put the milk cup in her hand, "Young lady is a golden girl, so don't underestimate your status."
At that time, Ayan felt that he was not worthy of being her brother.
When Jiang Nianyan stood up, Yu Nian pulled away from the memories and looked at the familiar face in front of him. He was less childish and unruly than a boy and more sharp and deep as a man. She used to trust him and like to stick to him, but now she is afraid of him and wants to stay away.
Why did she and him end up where they are today?
"Are you hungry?" Jiang Nianyan didn't know what she was thinking. Seeing her dazed eyes, he mistook it for her getting out of bed.
She has been getting angry when she got up since she was a child, either looking confused and confused before waking up, or getting angry when her temper got up.
Yu Nian thought that maybe because it was night in a foreign land, Jiang Nianyan didn't look so intimidating. She shook her head, not hungry, "just thirsty."
Just as she was about to pour water herself, Jiang Nianyan turned around and went to the water bar, poured a cup of boiled pear water, took it over and handed it to her. Yu Nian took it and the temperature was just lukewarm. She was surprised, "Did you cook it?"
"I cooked it. Is there anything wrong with it?" Jiang Nianyan asked.
Yu Nian was asked.
Only then did he realize that this little thing was nothing to him.
She said nothing more and took two sips of pear water. This season is quite dry, so a sip of pear water will make you feel more comfortable. Jiang Nianyan raised his hand, and Yu Nian subconsciously hid, causing the clear pear water in the cup to almost spill out. His hand stopped in mid-air, his brows furrowed slightly, "What are you hiding from?"
Yu Nian remained deadlocked and didn't move.
Jiang Nianyan's face was slightly displeased, but she didn't show too much displeasure. He put his big hand on her forehead. Seeing that her body temperature was normal, he said, "After all, I had a fever before, and my physical strength will be lost. Eat some dinner and drink more." Hot water, if you're still sleepy, go back to sleep."
Yu Nian didn't expect him to say these words, so he said oh.
She didn't react until she drank the pear water, "But I'm not hungry -"
"Eat as much as you can." Jiang Nianyan interrupted her and took the water glass from her hand.
Yu Nian thought he would go out to eat, so he went into the restaurant and saw that dinner was ready. Jiang Nianyan said that the B&B had a chef because it was far away from the city. The chef's skills were pretty good. He asked the chef to make some light and nutritious food.
"If you like the taste, try it."
Yu Nian's food since she got sick has been quite bland. Although the food cooked by the chef at the B&B tastes good, she always feels it tastes bland when she eats it. Jiang Nianyan sat across from her, watching her thoughts calmly, but deliberately asked her what was wrong.
She thought for a while and said, "This is the capital of carbohydrates, and I heard that there are a lot of delicious food in the night market."
Jiang Nianyan gave her a piece of winter bamboo shoots and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, inaudibly. "Besides eating, is there a place you most want to visit?"
Yu Nian thought about it and found that it actually existed.
"It's nothing. In fact, there is no difference between cities now." The place she wanted to go was not suitable for him.
Jiang Nianyan raised his eyelids and glanced at her. He poured some soup for her and handed it to her. He said lightly, "It's not suitable for you to eat something high in carbohydrates and fat right now."
Yu Nian didn't expect much, and his eyes were slightly disappointed when he lowered his head to drink the soup.
Jiang Nianyan said slowly, "But you have a good meal and rest tonight. I will take you to the snack street tomorrow."
"real?"
Jiang Nianyan could see that her eyes were shining, and he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, "Yeah."
Yu Nian was yearning for it.
She had been to Chang'an before, but it was many years ago. She had viewed Chang'an today on some social media. The various snacks alone were absolutely overwhelming to anything she had ever experienced. The variety was dazzling and bustling, showing the liveliness of the ancient capital, which was different from the prosperity of Bei City.
I felt happy and felt much more comfortable eating.
Jiang Nianyan glanced at her, taking in all her joy. He didn't say anything, but the curve of his mouth softened a lot.
The B&B is very quiet at night.
After dinner, Yu Nian felt a little lazy.
I slept before dusk until dark. Although I didn't get a full sleep, I didn't want to fall asleep immediately after dinner.
The main reason is that Jiang Nianyan's sense of threat is not very strong tonight, and he seems more easy-going. Yu Nian doesn't know if this is related to his personal schedule. After all, it doesn't involve work, it's purely personal time, so he is more relaxed than usual. Some.
After washing, she sat in the place where she had just sat at the Jiang Nian Banquet. She stared lazily at the firewood in the fireplace for a long time, staring at the flickering flames, feeling extremely calm inside. The most real fire is indeed the memory engraved in human bones. This kind of light, whether it is electricity or imitation, cannot achieve the effect.
Jiang Nianyan came out with a hair dryer in his hand.
She would never have the patience to dry her hair after taking a shower, so she would only dry it half-dry, or use a dry towel to do a perfunctory job. She didn't react much after Jiang Nianyan sat down next to her, and was fascinated by the flames in the fireplace.
He raised his hand and touched her hair. Sure enough, the outer layer of hair was dry, but the inside was still wet. Turn on the hair dryer and blow dry her hair.
The wind speed is gentle and the temperature is warm.
Yu Nian didn't react for a while. She was always in a trance when Ayan was blow-drying her hair at Yu's house, as if she had returned to that time. But he soon realized something was wrong, and just when he was about to turn around, he heard Jiang Nianyan whisper, "Don't move."
She didn't dare to move.
The man's slender fingers ran through her hair, seemingly gently, as if he was easy to mess with when he wasn't angry, but once she messed with him, she couldn't bear to walk away. Just his hands, with clearly defined, beautiful and sexy joints, could bring her pleasure and at the same time suffocate her.
She was in a state of moodiness, and she didn't want to ruin the peaceful atmosphere.
So she obediently lay on the armrest of the sofa, turning her face slightly to the side, and light would shine between her eyebrows, making her originally white face look as bright as pink.
Jiang Nianyan relaxed his hand and used the smallest amount of air to dry her long hair little by little.
Her hair is of very good quality and becomes smooth and fragrant after it dries.
Yu Nian was a little drowsy again. The man's gentle fingers relaxed her scalp, which always made her feel relaxed. After drying her hair and taking advantage of Jiang Nianyan to put on the hair dryer, she read the book he had just read. Now she saw the title clearly, it was "The Record of Mysterious Monsters Continued by the Record of Mysterious Monsters".
After turning a few pages, Jiang Nian Banquet came out.
It seemed that he was just on vacation. He didn't go to work or make phone calls. He just sat on the sofa, which was quite leisurely. Yu Nian had never read this book and shook it towards him, "What are you talking about?"
"It's some short stories about strange things." Jiang Nianyan took the book and flipped through it.
Yu Nian sat on the sofa, "For example?"
Jiang Nianyan thought for a while and said, "There was a man named Cui Shao who killed three cats and was then caught and tried in the underworld. Since two generations of Cui Shao's family have been worshiping the Yizi Tianwang for a long time, he was in the underworld. He got the help of King Yizi to exonerate him, and Cui Shao himself promised that as long as he could return to the earthly world, he would definitely copy Buddhist scriptures and dedicate them to the victims. With his promise, he finally returned to the earthly world smoothly. "
Yu Nian wanted to say that the world is really a reincarnation of cause and effect, and that all the bad things you did in the world will be remembered in the underworld, but she was afraid that Jiang Nianyan would misunderstand her words, so she swallowed them down. Ask, “Any other fun stories?”
"Want to hear?"
Yu Nian nodded, but she was too lazy to look at it herself.
Jiang Nianyan seemed to have expected her to be so lazy, so he smiled and didn't mind, then opened the book and asked, "Tell me about the predictions of dreams?"
Yu Nian nodded and leaned on the sofa.
Someone has already told a story. Of course, you can listen to whatever is told, but there is no need to be picky.
Jiang Nianyan was extremely patient and told her. "In the second year of Jingzhao, Wei's daughter, her mother told her that there was a talented scholar named Pei Shuang who wanted to hire you. The daughter smiled and said, "You are not my husband." My mother remembered it. Although the matchmaker has come, Pei Shuang's talent has flourished... ..." At this point, he turned to look at her.
She listened lazily and asked what was wrong when he stopped.
Jiang Nianyan smiled, "Can you understand it?"
Yu Nian said truthfully, "It's a bit difficult to understand by listening."
"Okay, let me tell you in vernacular." Jiang Nianyan was very patient.
Yu Niannian leaned on the sofa and looked at Jiang Nianyan with the light in the room. He was so talkative for a while that she almost didn't recognize him.
Jiang Nian Banquet changed to the vernacular version, "The daughter of a family named Wei in the capital. When she was seventeen years old, her mother told her that there is a scholar named Pei Shuang who wants to marry you. The daughter smiled and said, he is not my husband. .Mother remembers..."
Yu Nian just listened quietly.
Listening to the daughter of the Wei family rejecting the people who came to ask for marriage one after another, she vowed that so and so was not her husband. It was not until the appearance of Jinshi Zhang Chujin two years later that the daughter of the Wei family said that this man was my husband. The daughter of the Wei family said to her mother , she has dreamed about it in her dreams all her life. She knows everything she will encounter in the rest of her life, and she also knows her own destiny...
As Yu Nian listened, his consciousness gradually drifted away.
What she was thinking about was how great it would be if she had this ability. Wouldn't it be equivalent to predicting the future? If she had this ability, she would have asked her father to avoid risks as soon as possible. She even told her father that you can save Ayan, but there is no need to bring him to the Yu family. Let him go free and let him find his family as soon as possible. .
Or she could have informed the Jiang family earlier so that they could find Ayan when he was very young, so that the sins he suffered as a child could be avoided.
He will no longer be someone's personal bodyguard, and he will no longer have fear and hatred in his heart. He will grow up freely in the Jiang family's old house. Will they have a different experience when they meet again? At least it won't be like this now.
As Yu Nian thought this, his consciousness became increasingly blurred.
The room was too quiet, the fireplace made the sound of burning firewood, and Jiang Nianyan's voice was low and sexy on such a night, and had a soothing effect.
Her eyelids became heavier and heavier, as if she had really returned to the past. She had returned to the past with her memories now.
She seemed to wake up from her bedroom, and for a moment she couldn't tell whether it was reality or a dream.
The house was very lively and the garden was noisy. It turned out that my father had brought back a new bodyguard.
He was a fifteen-year-old boy with a frail body and was wearing clothes that didn't fit him.
She dreamed that she ran downstairs and told her father that she wanted him to send the child back to the Jiang family. He was the third young master of the Jiang family.
Years passed in a flash.
She was born in the second year of her life.
As the book says, seventeen years old.
She attended the Jiang family's dinner with her parents and saw him at the banquet. He was twenty-two years old that year. He was very handsome, and his figure was as tall as that of a strange young man. Everyone called him the Young Master of the Capital City. He was ascetic and peaceful, with calm and indifferent eyes. He was said to be a Buddha with an appearance that was not close to women. son……
There was no hatred or evil in her eyes when she looked at him. It was natural to be pure and reticent, but he was aloof and had his own spiritual world.
That's great.
Looking around her again, the Yu family is still there, her parents are healthy, the Jiang family is harmonious, and Yu Juanzhou is chatting with a famous lady. Yes, if it could happen again, if everything could be avoided, then Yu Juanzhou should also He is the most handsome young man in Jiangnan, and the most popular young man in Shanghai.
How nice would it be to never wake up again and live in a dream?
After Jiang Nianyan finished telling the story of "Webster", he saw that the woman beside him had closed her eyes and fell asleep, and he burst into laughter for a moment. It seems that I have exhausted my energy these past two days, and I only fell asleep after being awake for a long time.
He closed the book and placed it gently on the coffee table, with no intention of waking her up.
It was surprisingly quiet tonight, and his heart was unusually calm.
He looked at her quietly, and after a while he saw her head drooping more and more, so he stretched out his hand to pull her over, and she leaned into his arms.
Jiang Nianyan lowered his head to look at her face.
It was extremely soft and bright reflected by the firelight, and every inch of her skin was filled with elegant body fragrance, unique, familiar to him and irresistible. The thin lips couldn't help but fall on her smooth forehead, and the kiss came down slowly.
Finally, he touched her red lips.
Soft as jelly.
