Tyrant’s Consort Too Arrogant - C173

“Alright, let Xiao Chuan go look for Feng Jiu himself, and also … I don’t want to see Xue. ” Yi Ren said, her expression slightly dim.

“Why?” Pei Ruochen asked with a smile.

“I just don’t want to see it.” Yi Ren lowered her head and said softly yet resolutely to the fingers.

Pei Ruochen did not pursue the matter any further, and only spoke softly when he turned around, “I’m sorry about the matter regarding your eyes.”

“I know it’s none of your business.” Yi Ren laughed, and chased after Pei Ruochen, following behind him step by step.

In a daze, Yi Ren remembered the countless times they had travelled together. The first place was missing, the second time was, and the third time, as if they had both walked at this pace, and Pei Ruochen walked slowly and steadily ahead of her, yet at the same time, matched her tempo.

However, it was only this time that he could walk in such a calm and completely calm manner.

Between the two of them, other than their warmth, there should be nothing else.

“Pei Ruochen.” Yi Ren suddenly said.

Pei Ruochen turned her face to the side, her gentle and pretty face still carrying a trace of a smile.

“Guess, does Lu Chuan think that you’re holding me hostage again?” Yi Ren asked with a smile on her face.

Pei Ruochen paused, and it was unknown when Yi Ren had become witty as well. He lowered her head, gave a light smile, and then replied in an incredibly serious tone, “I always wanted to take you on a private run, but now I’ve finally gotten my wish granted.”

Yi Ren gazed at him.

The warm and familiar side of his face was like sketches on paper. Even after such a long time and so many unforeseen events, there was still no change.

“I’ve always wanted to elope with you.” Yi Ren also laughed, her eyes narrowed into two slits, revealing a gentle light. “Now I have what I want.”

The scenery of the East Mountain is the beauty of swaying bamboo shadows and overlapping mountains.

Pei Ruochen really went to teach, Yi Ren laughed, “This is the earliest teaching method.”

“What is teaching?” Pei Ruochen asked as he packed the books.

“Supporting local education.” Yi Ren replied with a smile on her face. Then, she turned her head and moved her gaze to the sky outside the bamboo curtain.

The velvet canopy of the sky was covered by bamboo leaves, giving it a deep shade of green. It was especially pleasing to the eyes.

It was already summer.

Although Pei Ruochen thought that the words were weird, he could understand the meaning behind them. He smiled slightly and continued to collect the scattered books on the desk.

“It’s been five days, Lu Chuan still hasn’t come.” A few days ago, Yi Ren was still worried that Lu Chuan would chase after him, but now, it seemed that her idol had already forgotten about him.

“Lu Chuan let you go on purpose.” Pei Ruochen snickered and replied: “Back then, he brought you out because of a bad temper, but he wouldn’t really want to take you out to cause trouble for him and Feng Jiu. Being in a dilemma, I don’t know how to deal with you. That’s why I let you come with me. Otherwise, at his level, how could he not catch up to us? ”

“So it was to take the opportunity to get rid of me.” Yi Ren suddenly realized something, but she did not feel disappointed, she only felt a little regretful, “Back then, you spent so much money to get me out, it was really not worth it.”

Lu Chuan took her out and lost his only chance to breakthrough a bottleneck. In the end, he decided to throw her off just because he was halfway there?

Yi Ren also felt that she himself was of no use.

Pei Ruochen smiled lightly again, and finally closed the book. He then pushed open the bamboo door, and lightly said: “Go back.”

The setting sun was everywhere, and it was late at night for the children. The teacher’s school was a few miles away from the place they were currently staying. It was a few miles away from the bamboo forest road, and the scenery was picturesque.

Yi Ren walked over and helped Pei Ruochen pick up the brush and ink items before him.

“What’s for dinner?” Pei Ruochen who was at the back, looked at the tiny figure and asked softly.

Like all members of the family, the question was natural and light.

“Bamboo Rice!” Yi Ren hurriedly expressed her stance.

Pei Ruochen had great culinary skills, which surprised him greatly.

Unlike Helan Xue, who was even pointing at her while cooking.

Pei Ruochen’s dishes were as soft and fragrant as his own. In the modern world, they should belong to the Guangdong cuisine.

Every time Yi Ren thought about it, she could already feel her saliva dripping down.

There is a saying that when you grab a man, you have to grab his stomach first. In fact, women do the same.

With much difficulty, Yi Ren managed to get back home from school. Like a child who had just finished school, Yi Ren happily brought all the tools in to Pei Ruochen’s room, and then pushed Pei Ruochen into the kitchen. She took a deep breath in her two hands and squatted by the side, watching the pair of hands that used to holding a brush and sword wash the vegetables, cut vegetables, and stirred the dishes with a spoon.

Pei Ruochen was extremely busy, and would occasionally instruct Yi Ren to fetch some salt and pour some water. She would say it naturally as well, and Yi Ren would take small steps, bringing a bowl of water with him, as if she was trying to curry favor with the chef.

The water sprinkled down and the hot air evaporated. The smoke shrouded Pei Ruochen’s face, causing him to tilt his head to look at it. Suddenly, he realized that Pei Ruochen’s face was growing whiter.

The sunlight of the bamboo forest was also warm. Yi Ren had suntanned a lot, and was no longer as white as when she was sleeping, but Pei Ruochen had been shedding white light all along.

Even his lips had turned a little white.

“What kind of skin is this?” Yi Ren asked hesitantly, she could not help but reach out and touch Pei Ruochen’s face.

Pei Ruochen tilted his head, dodging Yi Ren’s hand, and his eyes that had been smiling all this while dimmed: “Yi Ren, go out and bring some firewood in.”

Yi Ren answered with an ‘oh’, turned and jogged to the kitchen entrance, then remembered to chop firewood with a big stick or a small piece of wood. She turned her head and was about to ask when she saw Pei Ruochen’s silhouette appear amidst the smoke, exceptionally thin and slim, as if he had merged with the smoke and was about to disappear at any time.

Yi Ren felt unbearably uncomfortable. The sound that rushed to her mouth spiraled for a while, then she swallowed it back.

She walked step by step to the front of the woodshed. She picked up a large stick and silently stood there for a moment. She was about to turn around when she suddenly reached out from behind her back and wrapped her arms around her waist, tightly hugging her.

Yi Ren was shocked, and was about to cry out in alarm when she heard an extremely familiar voice.

“Yi Ren, I missed you so much.”

Yi Ren lowered the hand that she had just raised, slowed it down, then raised it up once more. She pushed the arm at her waist away, turned around, and faced the approaching person.

Helan Xue was dressed in plain clothes, his hair was a little messy and the circles around his eyes were slightly black.

Yi Ren’s nose was sour, sshe turned her head and picked up the big stick, without saying a word, he walked past Helan Xue and towards the kitchen.

Helan Xue was startled, his smile frozen on his face.

“Yi Ren?” He looked after her and called uncertainly.

Was Yi Ren not happy to see him? After receiving news of Pei Ruochen, he had put down everything and rushed over to pick her up day and night. Why wasn’t she happy?

“I’m busy.” Yi Ren replied coolly without turning her head back.

Hearing the voice outside, Pei Ruochen had already walked out. Seeing Helan Xue, he was not surprised at all — — If Helan Xue had not personally come to receive him, he would definitely not let Yi Ren go back home peacefully. Of course, that was not the Helan Xue he needed to entrust to his.

“Ruochen,” Yi Ren greeted him with a smile, as if Helan Xue really did not exist.

Pei Ruochen laughed bitterly, passing by Yi Ren, he looked at him and said: I don’t care, you think of a way yourself.

Helan Xue felt depressed for a while, but still endured the urge to explain: “Yi Ren, are you still angry about the Wandering Garden? But you smiling at Liu Zhufeng, it’s very natural for me to misunderstand. I didn’t want you to suffer with me. That was the most opportune decision. “Never again.”

“There’s no later.” Yi Ren replied depressingly. Without stopping in her tracks, she walked in front of Pei Ruochen.

“Yi Ren, I have already explained it, why are you still …” Helan Xue really couldn’t understand. Since when did the obedient Yi Ren learn to be awkward in the face of women?

“It’s just because I don’t care, I’m useless, and I’m not important in this world, so you can calmly take advantage of the situation and abandon me at any time and in the most suitable way. After that, you can talk about the reason, and I’ll just fawn over you. Yi Ren suddenly turned around, stared into Helan Xue’s eyes, and said word by word. “Don’t lie to me, don’t leave me. Unilateral trust could be used once or twice, but it could not last a lifetime. Xue, I don’t know if I can still trust you. ”

Helan Xue was stunned, and so was Pei Ruochen.

It was the first time that Yi Ren had not said such serious words. In the past, even when she talked about serious things, she would always take the least serious tone and say it out loud. She didn’t seem to care at all.

Since when did she stop hiding?

“Ruochen, I want to eat bamboo tube rice ~” After saying that, Yi Ren turned back into a happy smile, asking for food like Pei Ruochen without a care in the world.

Pei Ruochen smiled, and could not be bothered with him anymore, “Okay.”

After saying that, they really planned to ignore everything and return to the hut without a care. Helan Xue paused for a bit, and then walked behind Yi Ren with big strides, grabbing her arm, and glared at him.

Pei Ruochen did not stop him. In the twilight, his face became even paler, so white that it was transparent.

“Come back with me first, I’ll explain to you later.” Helan Xue could not stay here for long, he had set everything down and came to the East Mountain, but the situation in the capital was currently unclear. Everything was temporarily being watched by Feng Jiu, and obviously, he could not attend to it.

“I can go back with anyone who isn’t related to me, but I can’t go with you.” Yi Ren pursed her lips and protested in a low voice.

“Why?” Helan Xue asked, puzzled.

Yi Ren didn’t want to explain, but she couldn’t help but look at Pei Ruochen.

Being looked at in such a manner, Pei Ruochen couldn’t help but want to help her several times, but in the end, he endured it.

No matter what, Yi Ren liked Helan Xue, if she did not, why would she treat him more seriously than anyone else?

Besides, he had no time.

Helan Xue still dragged Yi Ren, using the strong one to bring her back.

Yi Ren also did not know which tendons she had steeled, but she was unwilling. When Helan Xue finally carried her up, Yi Ren let out a cry.

The crying was loud and loud. It was hard to breathe, as if it had met the most painful thing in life.

Helan Xue did not dare move, and comforted his a little: “Yi Ren, Yi Ren, what do you want?! As long as you open your mouth, as long as you say it out loud, I can pick you even the stars in the sky.”

“Put me down.” Yi Ren cried as she spoke.

Helan Xue quickly put her down, his handsome face looking as anxious as a child’s.

Yi Ren’s crying did not stop, she wiped away her tears and staggered towards Pei Ruochen.

As for Pei Ruochen, he had let go of his guard long ago when Yi Ren was crying and did not care about anything else.
