After going back to the room to clean up and take a nap, seeing that everyone was still resting, Lin Jinyan got up and took Bai Zhi to wander around the temple.
There is a pavilion built against the mountain on the side of the temple. When you walk in, you can see Tai'an City in the distance. On the side near the mountain is a row of guardrails that are shorter than Lin Jinyan.
Lin Jinyan held her hand on the guardrail, resting her head on the back of her hand and looking towards the distant capital. The slight mountain breeze gently blew the broken hair on her forehead, adding a touch of playfulness to her.
"Yan'er, why are you here?"
Hearing Gu Yichen's voice, Lin Jinyan turned around with a smile. When she saw the man next to Gu Yichen, Lin Jinyan's face froze, and her hand on the guardrail suddenly tightened, with pieces of wood stuck in her fingernails.
Lin Jinyan's hatred surged into her chest, her eyes fixed on the person coming, but her hands and feet seemed to be frozen. Seeing Gu Yichen getting closer and closer, Lin Jinyan came back to her senses and put on a forced smile.
"Cousin, I woke up and felt a little stuffy in the house. Let's go out for a walk."
Gu Yichen led the man into the pavilion and stared at Lin Jinyan's face carefully.
"Why do you look so bad? But you are not feeling well? I'll ask my mother to take a look at you later."
Lin Jinyan shook her head: "I'm not feeling any discomfort, cousin, don't worry."
"As long as nothing happens, Yan'er is the second prince. Come and pay your respects."
Lin Jinyan bit her tongue hard, suppressed her emotions with the pain, and bowed to the second prince in a decent manner.
"The second prince is well."
The second prince smiled gently: "Miss Lin, there's no need to be polite. I'm here to pay my respects to an old friend, so there's no need to be polite."
Lin Jinyan lowered her eyes and was about to find an excuse to leave when Gu Yichen took out a dark green handkerchief and handed it to Lin Jinyan.
Lin Jinyan raised her head and looked at Gu Yichen in confusion. Gu Yichen smiled heartily.
"You're so old and still so playful. Your hands are full of sawdust. Wipe it quickly, be careful not to rub it into your eyes."
Lin Jinyan thanked her and reached out to take the handkerchief.
Looking at the dark green handkerchief held by the white and round fingers, a word came to the mind of the second prince: white jade and green onion.
The brown sawdust on the fingertips adds a sense of wildness, just like the jade-faced raccoons in the palace who stepped on mud on their playful feet.
Before entering the pavilion, the little girl's fierce eyes looked like a jade-faced raccoon with its fur blowing.
It's just that he and this little girl have never met before, so she probably doesn't know him. Why was she staring at him with such vicious eyes just now?
Lin Jinyan said she wanted to go back to the house to rest. After bowing to the two of them and saying goodbye, she led Bai Zhi quickly out of the pavilion. Lin Jinyan was in a state of confusion when she saw a path and walked in without thinking.
After walking hurriedly for a while, Lin Jinyan stopped in a flat and open place.
"Miss, what's wrong with you? But that second prince bullied you before?"
Facing Bai Zhi's question, Lin Jinyan didn't know how to answer. This was the first time in her life that she had met Chu Chengyao face to face. She had never been bullied by him.
Lin Jinyan shook her head: "I've never seen him before. I just feel bored. I heard the sound of water. Can you help me find some?"
Bai Zhi nodded, found a clean stone for Lin Jinyan, and helped Lin Jinyan sit down.
"Miss, sit here for a moment. I'll be back soon."
After Bai Zhi left, Lin Jinyan's mind was immersed in the past life and paid no attention to the things around him.
A snake with yellow and black rings all over its body slowly poked its head out from the grass behind Lin Jinyan.
