C28 (2/2)

Thinking about this, Tang Yuan became even more determined to stand with Lin Ting.

Luo Yi was left alone in a helpless situation. Her eyes moved back and forth, looking at one thing and then another, and after a long while, she sighed. When she opened her mouth again, she shouted with an imposing manner that could swallow mountains and rivers: ”Sorry! I was wrong! ”

Lin Ting and Tang Yuan were shocked by this seemingly innocent tone.

Luo Yi pursed her lips, and just like how she was when she was young, she stood there obediently, with a branch that she had ran out to pick up unknowingly. She raised her hands above her head, and said with an unwilling tone, ”If you still can't take it anymore, hit me.”

”If you're still angry, then hit me.”

Luo Yi was originally standing at the corner feeling wronged, afraid that Lin Ting really did not want her, as he had said, he hurriedly ran back into the house and took out a feather duster. She raised both of her hands above her head and handed them over to Lin Ting, then forcefully suppressed her fear yet still could not stop her trembling voice from saying the above.

She knew that she was a child that Lin Ting had picked up and no one wanted, so she couldn't help but feel a little afraid when she looked at Lin Ting, afraid that he wouldn't want her either.

She was still young and could not understand what Lin Ting had said about ”If you take anything from someone else, I won't take you”. He was just angry, he couldn't even bear to use the word ”steal” in exchange for ”take”.

The tree branch in her hand had just been picked up from the snow. The snow on it hadn't melted, causing her ten fingers to turn red from the cold, but she still hadn't put it down.

Lin Ting's words were stuck in his throat, his eyes instantly turning red.

He sighed, as though he couldn't do anything to Luo Yi from start to finish, ”How old are you? How come you haven't improved at all?”

Luo Yi blinked, hearing his tone soften, she bit her lower lip and asked pitifully: ”Then aren't you angry?”

”...” ”Qi!” Lin Ting gnashed his teeth: ”So you are not allowed to sleep tonight, go and copy all the books I put in the room. If you can't copy them all, you aren't allowed to eat tomorrow either!”

”Huh?” Luo Yi immediately threw the stick to the ground and peeked inside the room. When she peeked inside, she couldn't help but twitch her mouth, ”There's so many books …”

”If you say it again, I'll copy it three times!” Lin Ting did not move at all, and before he spoke, he even intentionally glared at her.

Luo Yi shut her mouth as if she had eyes. At the same time, she used her hand to wipe her lips, acting like a good girl. After that, when Lin Ting returned to his room, she winked at Tang Yuan and indicated to him.

However, he was extremely honest in his hands as he took advantage of Lin Ting's inattention to secretly hide a few books. Then, he turned his head, pretending not to notice the thumb that Luo Yi had given him, that was hidden under his sleeves.

sat alone in front of the table. After copying for a while, he became impatient, and turned to the reflection in the window to amuse himself.

After playing like this for an unknown period of time, a voice suddenly sounded out behind him. ”Have you finished copying the books?”

Luo Yi's body trembled, she immediately retracted her hand, and at the same time, grabbed the brush that she casually threw on the table, and turned her head and laughed: ”Almost.”

Lin Ting raised his eyebrows, and looked past Luo Yi to the paper that she had spread on the table. His tone contained a rare smile: ”Un … ”It will be soon.”

”…”

Seeing that Lin Ting had already exposed it, Luo Yi could no longer be bothered to continue acting. He threw the brush on the table, and asked while grinning: ”Are you still angry?”

”What are you doing?”

Lin Ting was not surprised by her tricks, and did not seem to have any special reactions. He continued to listen to Luo Yi as he continued, ”If you're still angry, then I'll continue copying, if you're not angry …”

She giggled. ”I'm actually a little tired.”

She was used to getting ahead of herself when she was young, and knew how to strike while the iron was hot. Seeing that Lin Ting's anger had almost disappeared, she immediately went over to him with a mischievous smile. ”I took me less than half a month to get to Li City.”

Lin Ting, ”...”

Originally, he did not want to punish Luo Yi, but after hearing her say this, his heart naturally softened as well.

”Alright!” Luo Yi immediately stood up from her chair, as if she was afraid that Lin Ting would go back on her words, and walked into one of the rooms.

”What's wrong?” Lin Ting, who was watching behind her, took the initiative to ask when he saw her strange actions.

Luo Yi remained silent for a good while, and when she spoke, he did not turn around, ”I heard Yi Qiannan say that … ”You are very close to the current Prime Minister.”

”...” Sir Xu, you have helped me out a lot. ”

Originally, Lin Ting did not want to speak the truth, since the situation in the imperial court was so chaotic and Luo Yi was not stupid, he naturally knew the reason why he was so close to an important official of the imperial government at this time, but he was not good at lying, especially to Luo Yi. Thus, after being silent for a while, he chose to speak the truth.

He thought that it was because he didn't want Luo Yi to ask these questions so much that he had already thought about how to persuade her. But who would have thought that after Luo Yi only replied with an ”Oh” in a low voice, she stopped talking and when she spoke again, it was already a direction that he completely couldn't imagine: ”Then can you bring me to see him once?”

Lin Ting was startled upon hearing this, his eyebrows once again knitted deeply together. ”Why did you see him?”

”I... ”The person who went with me to the Northern Tribes was the Prime Minister's son …”

Maybe because he was afraid, or maybe because he was afraid to make Lin Ting angry again, Luo Yi's voice was getting softer and softer. It would be better to stick together for the same day, so as to prevent Lin Ting from getting angry with her every single day and every single day. Therefore, even when she could no longer compare to the sound of mosquitoes in the end, she still did not stop, ”He has some last words, which I wish to pass on to his father.”
