C1 (2/2)

Of course!

Xu Heng nodded and guaranteed with a smile on his face.

Luo Yi sized him up suspiciously.

He still felt that that person was not a good person. It was just that according to the rules of the martial arts world, if someone didn't offend him, then he wouldn't. Since the other party did not do anything out of line, he could not take the initiative to start a fight.

However, he still felt a bit uncomfortable. As he passed the man, he held his shoulder and gave him a vicious slam.

The instant their shoulders met, Luo Yi's hand quickly slashed across Xu Heng's waist.

How fast was he?

It wasn't until a quarter of an hour later that Xu Heng finally realized what had happened. He had struck me with the intent of stealing my money pouch.

And at this time, Luo Yi had long since escaped without a trace.

On the way to Lin Ting's house, they would pass by a small river. Luo Yi first washed his face, then hid in the grass to the side to change his clothes before continuing onward as if he had changed his appearance.

Lin Ting grew up with him, they were truly childhood friends, and at the same time, were bookworms. Anyone with a discerning eye would be able to tell that they liked him, but only he wouldn't be able to.

Luo Yi helped him pack her things, and when she turned around, her eyebrows wrinkled deeply, ”I heard that Li City has been in a mess recently, do you have to go?”

”Don't worry!” Lin Ting scratched Luo Yi's head: ”The nation is at the top of the list, it is when us scholars are serving the nation, I will protect myself well.”

”Oh …”

knew that there was no point in speaking any further, so he nodded his head.

As if he was amused by his childish actions, Lin Ting rubbed his head again and comforted him: ”After I take the examinations, I'll bring you to the Li City and set up an inn for you. I'll hire a few servants so that you can sit in the front hall and count the money.”

”I don't care!”

Luo Yi twitched her mouth and turned her head to the side, but she could not hold back her laughter. Her eyes slowly curved into a slit, revealing a girl's smile for the first time today.

She slightly tilted her head, revealing a snow-white neck.

Lin Ting also laughed, and said: ”After I leave tomorrow, you should come live at my house. You're a girl, it's not safe to stay in the wilderness all day long.”

Good.

Perhaps it was because he thought of the farewell the next day, but it was rare for Luo Yi to not talk back, he only obediently nodded, and his expression looked especially obedient.

Both of them were orphans. The only difference was that Luo Yi was born to be abandoned by her parents, while Lin Ting met with misfortune when he was young, and both father and mother died.

And Lin Ting met Luo Yi who was secretly following behind the funeral procession and stealing money on the day her parents were buried.

His age was about the same, but his stature was nearly a full circle smaller than his. Two eyes the size of grapes hung on his dirty face, making him seem a lot more agile.

Lin Ting suddenly thought of himself.

He landed on the ground and grabbed the delicate hand.

When Xiao Yu arrived, both of their hands were ice-cold. When Luo Yi was grabbed by the wrist, he panicked and subconsciously wanted to beg for forgiveness, but when he looked up, he met a pair of incredibly clean eyes.

The owner of the eye was smiling at her until the skin they had come into contact with was warmed by each other's warmth.

So they became brothers and sisters who depended on each other for their lives.

At that time, they were still young, so living together wasn't inappropriate. However, they were not related by blood, so as they grew older, more and more people started to gossip. In the end, almost everyone who met Lin Ting would cheerfully ask: ”Hey, isn't that child's wife of yours with you?”

This was still considered good, especially after Luo Yi's words had sounded out once more. Some people's words were even more unbearable to hear. Lin Ting was afraid that she would be wronged, so she took the initiative to move out.

But at that time, he was preparing for the Imperial examinations, and Luo Yi was worried that it would affect him, so she didn't agree to it. The two of them shivered for less than half a month, and in the end, Lin Ting still took a step back.

They didn't have much money and couldn't afford to stay in the tavern, so Luo Yi randomly found a run-down temple to stay in.

Lin Ting wandered around the broken temple, and the more he went, the more he felt uncomfortable in his heart. However, Luo Yi did not care, and casually sat down on the ground, and started to console him.

For convenience, Luo Yi went out dressed like a man. After a while, she truly treated herself as a rough guy. However, no matter how much she didn't care, there would always be someone who truly treated her as a treasured pet.

”It's a girl, what are you talking about!”

Lin Ting glared at her. Luo Yi straightened his sitting posture, and made a pained sound: ”Oh …”

Don't act like I'm bullying you...

Lin Ting was helpless, he looked at her coldly for a while, but he was still defeated by her act of being wronged, he raised his hand and touched the top of her head, and his eyes gradually lit up.

”I'm afraid of you.”

He smiled, and the faint smile in his eyes almost lit up the night sky.
