The scenery in autumn is a bit bleak. The wind blew all night and the leaves fell all over the ground and were swept away. But the further we walked into the village, the better the scenery became.
The evergreen trees are scattered at various heights all year round, and the gurgling stream is like a jade belt, flowing into the clear lake on the opposite side.
Looking from a distance, you can see green mountains and vast expanse in the distance.
Lin Jinse had heard of this place from Cui Yue, but had never been there.
When I saw it today, it was really beautiful.
The servant led him to the small pavilion: "It's right there. Girl, please go over there."
Seeing Cui Ling's back, Lin Jinse's eyes turned red quietly.
Ever since her mother told her that their marriage might not work out, she hadn't slept well for several days. When she closed her eyes, she looked like Cui Ling. When she opened her eyes again, tears fell down and soaked the pillow.
Mother said it was Cui Ling who brought up the matter.
He doesn't want to marry her.
This news was even more devastating than hearing that the marriage had fallen through.
Lin Jinse cried secretly for several days, and finally plucked up the courage to come over and ask her face to face why he didn't want to marry her.
Along the gravel path, Lin Jinse's steps became slower and slower.
"Just wait for me here." She said to the maid.
The maid nodded: "Yes, miss."
Cui Ling turned her back to Lin Jinse and faced the lake, so she did not see Su Yu.
Until he walked into the pavilion and saw Cui Ling holding a woman in his arms as if there was no one around, stroking her hair affectionately and talking in her ear, Lin Jinse's face suddenly turned pale.
Su Yu had completely given up struggling.
She buried her face in Cui Ling's arms, not daring to look at the heroine's expression, fearing that she would cry if she saw it, because——
There's a 99% chance that she won't be able to get back and she'll be out of luck!
The system thoughtfully added a point and ninety-nine after ninety-nine percent.
The remaining 0.01% is God's blind eye.
[Host, it doesn’t matter, just stay. Didn’t you say before that the mission world is better than traveling through the game quickly? 】
Su Yu was angry: "Shut up, I just said it casually. Also, don't think that I don't know about your affair with that system sister. It's hard to make money in a small black house. Did your conscience feed the dog? It's my fault." So good to you! 】
The system was scolded so badly that I didn't dare to refute it.
But what it says is true. It’s destined to be impossible to leave anyway, so it’s better to stay and enjoy it.
Moreover, the system found out that the system's sister's host seemed to be from the flower market next door, and she was connected to it through the wrong channel. No wonder she could meet her every time in the dark room.
In this case, of course, the more dark rooms the better hehehehe...
"Brother Hanzhang, who is she?" Lin Jinse's voice broke.
Even though she knew that she was no longer qualified to question Cui Ling, she still couldn't help but ask.
Cui Ling glanced at her and motioned for the maid to serve tea.
The three of them sat opposite each other. Su Yu still didn't move her head away from Cui Ling's arms, and Cui Ling didn't force her.
Cui Ling took a sip of hot tea and said quietly: "My unmarried wife."
Snapped--
Lin Jinse lost her grip on the tea cup and fell to the ground with a loud noise.
She raised her head in shock, her eyes turning redder at some point, and her tears were like broken beads, one after another.
"My unmarried wife?" She murmured in a low voice, then cried and asked, "Is it because of her that you broke off my engagement?"
Cui Ling's expression was slightly cold and she said in a deep voice: "Miss Lin, be careful, you and I have never been engaged, so how can we break off the engagement?"
Lin Jinse's face turned even paler.
It turned out that he had never acknowledged their marriage.
Lin Jinse changed out of her favorite ice blue clothes today, and instead wore plain white, with light lipstick and red eye circles. At first glance, she looked somewhat similar to Su Yu's usual gentle and timid appearance.
Thinking of Su Yu, she suddenly wiped away her tears and looked directly at Cui Ling.
"What about Su Yu?"
Lin Jinse glanced at the woman hiding in Cui Ling's arms with tears in her eyes, gritted her teeth and asked, "You don't acknowledge our marriage, what about Su Yu? She likes you so much, and she even got injured to save you. If you still think of her, then You shouldn’t marry this woman of unknown origin.”
Su, the woman of unknown origin, Yu herself: "..."
ha?
What is this development?
Cui Ling also looked subtle: "What did you say?"
Lin Jinse repeated with tears in her eyes: "I say, you should not marry this woman of unknown origin."
"last sentence."
Lin Jinse paused: "If you still miss Su Yu..."
Cui Ling interrupted: "One more sentence."
Lin Jinse: "...and to save you from injury."
Cui Ling looked impatient: "One more sentence."
Lin Jinse was confused and said in a stuttering tone: "She likes you so much."
That's it.
Cui Ling's face turned from gloomy to clear. It was obviously late autumn, but it gave people a feeling of spring breeze rippling on their face.
Lin Jinse, who was inexplicably confused by the spring breeze: "..."
Su Yu knew what he was thinking without having to guess. She gritted her teeth and couldn't help but twist her waist. Is there any hope after all this trouble?
Cui Ling tensed up for a moment, then calmly grabbed her hand, and squeezed her waist with his other hand in return, but he didn't dare to use force.
Su Yu's waist was the most sensitive and she couldn't hold back a whimper.
Awkward, quiet, silent, dead silence.
Su Yu's cheeks turned red and she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
At this time, Mr. Cui Ling actually patted her and said, "Okay, get up quickly. When are you going to hide? Miss Lin has been here for so long, don't you plan to see her?"
It must be intentional!
Lin Jinse didn't know why. The woman in Cui Ling's arms was hiding so well that she hadn't even seen her. She was definitely not a good thing.
She watched coldly as the woman slowly crawled out of Cui Ling's arms and slowly turned her face.
Lin Jinse was shocked.
She stood up immediately and almost lost her voice: "Su Yu?"
Su Yu's cheeks were hot and she lowered her head in embarrassment: "Miss Lin."
Lin Jinse seemed to be shocked and took two steps back: "It's actually you?"
No wonder, no wonder...
Tears burst out again.
Lin Jinse's voice was choked with sobs: "Before I came here, I was still guessing why Brother Hanzhang would do this. It turns out it was because of you."
Su Yu didn't know what to say, but someone suddenly grabbed her waist from behind and pulled her into his arms. She was forced to lean on the person behind her.
Cui Ling's voice was extremely calm: "I'm sorry, but I have to interrupt."
"There is no causal relationship between these two things, Miss Lin. Even without Su Yu, there would be no relationship between us, and the matter between Su Yu and I has nothing to do with you."
"Since Miss Lin is here, I will make it clear that mother and Yue'er like you, so I welcome you to my house as a guest, but if you interfere in my private affairs, you are overstepping the bounds. Miss Lin can understand What do I mean?"
These words were spoken mercilessly, leaving no trace of hope for Lin Jinse.
Lin Jinse's complexion was paler than paper, and her heart ached.
Like a confrontation, Cui Ling never looked away, as if forcing her to answer.
Lin Jinse could barely stand under this questioning gaze.
After a while, she lowered her head and said in a voice like a broken porcelain cup on the ground, "I understand."
She didn't even have the courage to argue.
Nodding to the two of them with blurry eyes, Lin Jinse didn't have the courage to look at them again and turned around to leave.
"Miss Lin." Cui Ling suddenly stopped her.
Lin Jinse stopped.
She heard Cui Ling's voice being cold, but her words were true: "You should dress according to your own preferences, rather than using others as a reference. I hope Miss Lin can understand this when she goes back."
Tears fell faster in Lin Jinse's eyes.
In the end, she said nothing and walked out faster.
Those who come full of expectations will leave in despair.
Lin Jinse knew that it was impossible for him and Cui Ling.
The system is curious: [Host, why don’t you persuade the male protagonist and the female protagonist to be together this time? 】
Su Yu smiled: [I accept my fate. 】
The system was speechless, and in the end it could only say: [...Just think about it. 】
Su Yu finally couldn't hold it any longer and cried loudly: "Why am I so miserable——"
