Chapter 163 Embrace

Chapter 163 Hug

 The clouds penetrate the setting sun, and the windows are bright with red shadows.

Lu Zong's steps slowed down and he raised his eyes to look at the people around him.

The setting sun gradually sets behind him, and the long afterglow outlines the young man's figure in a softer shadow. His black gold embroidered cloud-patterned brocade clothes glow with a layer of light gold under the setting sun, which is very moving.

Lu Zhen was slightly dazed.

She didn't expect that Pei Yunying would still remember her casual perfunctory words.

Similarly in Mangming Township, when he saw the yellow dog, he stood aside for her. She had seen the black dog in front of the palace before, and it was a beautiful and agile hound.

 Does he really think he is afraid of dogs?

As if he noticed her gaze, Pei Yunying lowered his head and looked: "What?"

Lu Zhen shook off his strange thoughts: "It's nothing."

 The two walked side by side, casting long shadows on the path in the setting sun, as if they were blending into the golden-red sunset.

Pei Yunying's smiling voice came from beside him: "Doctor Lu helped me find the prescription. What kind of thank-you gift should I give you?"

Lu Yan said: "It's a deal, Lord Pei, don't take it to heart."

"Really?" He said casually: "Then what do you say to Golden Butterfly?"

 Lu Zhuo was startled.

On New Year's Eve, Pei Yunying gave her a pair of golden butterflies. The jewelry was expensive and it was hard to accept gifts here, so Lu Zhu took advantage of the break to see the jewels and sent the golden butterflies back tactfully.

"How can there be any reason to take back something that has been sent out?" Pei Yunying said leisurely: "Doctor Lu is very rude."

 It is indeed not the behavior of a polite family to return gifts given by others. Even if they were given to the Lu family back then, they would have been taught a lesson by their parents.

But who made him have no sense of propriety and give such a precious gift, which is worth sitting in the Renxin Medical Center for many years.

Lu Zhu pursed his lips: "I don't like Vadie."

 He asked: "Then what do you like?"

 Lu Yan suddenly became a little impatient.

She doesn’t like to owe people favors, and she doesn’t like to be owed favors, especially her relationship with Pei Yunying. In such a complicated situation, it’s still unclear what the future will be like. She hoped that all their interactions would be clear and transparent transactions, and that her intentions would be expressed clearly, but this person always did.

Difficulty in grasping a good distance, chaotic sense of proportion.

 It’s hard to figure out even after all the calculations.

She simply looked at the other person and said bluntly: "I like Lord Pei's sachet recipe. Can you give it to me?"

Pei Yunying was stunned.

 He lowered his head and his eyes fell on Lu Yan's face, with a strange look on his face.

Lu Yan looked at him calmly.

That sachet and prescription looked so valuable that he didn’t let go of it the last time he was in the carriage. But Lu Yan was still puzzled. She just wanted the recipe for the sachet, not for him to make an identical sachet. Even though the incense materials were expensive, he didn't need to come up with them, so why bother looking so embarrassed.

"Master Pei knows that I am in the medical hospital now and have no need for silver or jewelry." Lu said: "If you insist on thanking me, you might as well give me the sachet recipe. This is what I want." of."

 His reluctance to give up made Lu Zhen more confused, and the more doubtful he became, the more he wanted.

 It is human nature to ask for something but not get it.

He stared at Lu Zong for a while, then looked away and said calmly: "This won't work."

  He went straight forward.

 Sure enough.

Lu Chen looked at his back and suddenly had a guess in his mind. Maybe he thought wrongly. Pei Yunying didn't seem to be a stingy person. He was usually very generous with his gifts. But he took such good care of this sachet. Could it be that the prescription for the incense medicine was From someone important to him?

 Friendship is often more precious than money.

Thinking about this, Pei Yunying had already reached the gate of the Palace Commander's Mansion. Further on, the carriage returning to the Medical Officer's Court was waiting at the corner of the street.

Pei Yunying handed her the medical box and said, "Be careful on the road."

Lu Zhuo took the medical box, said yes, and walked to the carriage across the street. Just as he crossed the street, he saw a familiar person standing at the door of a dyeing shop in the alley not far ahead, under the red roof beam.

The young man was wearing a fragrant-colored round-neck gown, holding an unknown food box or something in his hand. He was slightly slender and stood in front of the dyeing workshop, looking around.

Lu Zong's steps suddenly stopped.

It's the young master from the palace of Taifu Temple, Dong Lin.

In front of the dyeing workshop, Dong Lin also saw Lu Zhuo, and his face suddenly became happy.

 He came here specifically to look for Lu Yan.

Ever since Mrs. Dong sent Mrs. Wang to make a big fuss at Renxin Medical Center and publicly broke up the relationship, Taifu Temple Minister no longer had any contact with Renxin Medical Center.

Dong Lin was angry and anxious in his heart. He was angry because his mother insisted on destroying his relationship with Lu Zhen despite his objections. What he was anxious about was that if Lu Zhen was humiliated, he would leave Renxin Medical Center in a rage. What to do if you get married? It will always be difficult for a young woman whose reputation has been humiliated to live on.

 But Lu Zhu didn't.

Not only did she not become depressed or depressed because of this, she even took the first place on the red list in the spring examination and successfully entered the Imperial Medical College, shocking the entire Shengjing Medical Clinic.

Dong Lin was ashamed and admired at the same time.

What makes him ashamed is that this embarrassing situation was caused by him. However, he had no good way to help Lu Zong, and he was even detained in the house by his mother. What I admire is that even if there is no one to help and the road ahead is bleak, Lu Yan can still find his own way on his own.

 After Lu Zhen entered the Medical Officer's Hospital, Mrs. Dong no longer restrained him. However, since Lu Zhen was not in Renxin Medical Center, it was much more difficult to see her from the Medical Officer's Hospital.

Dong Lin once asked someone to send a message to Lu Zhen, hoping that Lu Zhen could come out to get together, resolve the past misunderstanding in person, and apologize to her. But Lu Chen politely declined every time, saying that it was inconvenient to meet him because he was working in the medical hospital.

Today was the same. When he arrived at the Medical Officer's Court, he heard from the people at the Medical Officer's Court that Lu Zhuo had gone to treat the guards of the Palace Commander's Mansion in Beijing, so he waited at the gate of the Palace Commander's Mansion.

 Waiting left and right, until dusk fell, Dong Lin finally saw the person he had longed for. Dong Lin couldn't help but feel excited, and he hesitated to step forward. But he saw that the man suddenly stopped moving.

 Lu Zhuo stopped.

 She didn’t expect to meet Dong Lin here.

Master Dong’s intention is too obvious.

 In order to take advantage of the relationship between the Taifu Temple Minister and Mrs. Dong, I allowed Dong Lin to show favor to me. But now Mrs. Dong was already angry with her for instigating the relationship between mother and son. If she continued to entangle them, it would only be harmful rather than beneficial.

 She has rejected Dong Lin's invitation several times, and she has expressed her rejection tactfully both in words and in words. However, this young master Dong is particularly persistent.

It is not a good thing to be sloppy, but you should let him retreat...

Lu Zhen's eyes flickered, he slowly took two steps back, then suddenly turned around and ran back quickly in the direction of the Palace Commander's Mansion.

Dong Lin was anxious and quickly followed him.

Pei Yunying is still standing in the small courtyard at the entrance of the Palace Commander's Mansion.

The setting sun is shining slantingly, and the breeze is gradually rising. The young man stood under the sycamore tree at the entrance of the Palace Commander's Mansion, not knowing what he was thinking. The warm afterglow fell on him. He turned around and was about to walk towards the house when he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps behind him.

Pei Yunying raised his eyes and saw Lu Zhuo trotting towards him.

She is always calm and gentle, like a gurgling underground river, with invisible turbulence hidden under the calm water.     However, it was very urgent at the moment.

Like the frozen stream, it was also unsealed. The flowing stream became more and more dazzling in the afterglow, leaping into his eyes with joy and vivid roar, as if it was about to crash into his arms at the next moment.

Pei Yunying was stunned for a moment, but the woman had already rushed forward. Just when she was about to reach him, her feet suddenly stumbled, as if she were stepping on a stone. He subconsciously reached out to help her, and the other woman grabbed his arm firmly. Jumped into his arms.

Caught off guard, he hugged the other person into his arms.

 Time seems to stand still here.

 The golden afterglow became even brighter.

 The spring flowers in front of the garden have dimmed.

The sky is getting dusk, the sun is getting dusk, the clouds are getting dusk, the setting sun is all over the ground, and the last trace of the setting sun has become gentle, flowing through the people who depend on each other in the courtyard.

The hand of the man in his arms was holding his sleeve tightly, like a drowning man clinging to driftwood. His posture was soft but strange. He was slightly startled when he noticed something, and his eyes swept past the courtyard door behind him.

Not far from the gate of the courtyard, stood a man wearing fragrant robes. The young master of Taifu Temple was holding a food box and stood there blankly, looking at the two of them with eyes full of disbelief. Falling in this lonely dusk, he looked a bit lonely and pitiful.

Pei Yunying's eyes moved slightly and he lowered his eyebrows.

She still lowered her head, as if she was curled up in his arms. Her thin and frail body was reminiscent of the thin wings of a butterfly, which seemed to be easily torn apart.

 Poorly weak.

He put one hand around her waist, which was a subconscious protection when she rushed over just now, and the other hand...

 He hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his other hand.

That hand was slender and white, slowly and gently reaching for the back of the person in his arms.

  is a gesture of hugging someone into your arms.

The evening breeze is cool and gently blows through the fragrant grass in the courtyard.

The hand finally fell.

 Only a virtual circle behind him, restrainedly leaving a little unreachable distance.

 The fragrance of spring flowers in front of the garden actually feels a little bitter at dusk, and the shadows of close people falling on the ground are also intimate.

Lu Zhuo calculated the time and estimated that Dong Lin had seen everything he should and shouldn't see. Just then he raised his head, and when he looked up, he met a pair of dark eyes.

Pei Yunying is very handsome.

The spirit of Fengshen is handsome and decisive, and although he seems to be kind and warm, there is always a natural sense of alienation that makes people afraid to approach him.

However, at this moment, he just lowered his eyes and looked at her, her reflection reflected in his dark eyes.

There was only a little afterglow left by the setting sun. When it was illuminated from behind, the reflection was like the moon on a silver pond that suddenly dispersed and turned into bright stars. It also seemed that there were some more emotions that she couldn't understand, and something deeper emerged from the bottom of his eyes. , the entanglement cannot be seen clearly.

 She is very close to him.

It was more intimate than the accidental touch when the carriage was rocking last time. The cold clothes seemed to bring warmth to the embrace, and the faint scent of blue musk came faintly, like a seductive taboo, and unconsciously gave birth to a few traces of it. Undue thoughts.

Lu Zong was in a trance for a moment.

His eyes glanced not far behind her, then he helped her stand up, smiled, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lu Zhen turned around and saw Dong Lin's hurried back outside the courtyard gate.

 She breathed a sigh of relief and looked back at the person in front of her.

Pei Yunying stood in front of her with an innocent expression. He was neither surprised by her sudden behavior when she just rushed back, nor did he ask any other questions.

 The reaction was plain, not quite the same as what she expected.

Lu Zhen was a little undecided as to whether he had seen Dong Lin.

If he had seen it, he would have known why he was so calm because of his deliberate move. But if he hadn't seen it, with Pei Yunying's temperament, he would have teased her a few times about "fiancé".

 After all, even she herself felt it was artificial.

 What's more, this man is very smart.

However, now that the goal has been achieved, even if Pei Yunying doesn't say anything, Lu Zhuo has never found any reason to embarrass himself. Anyway, the young master of the Dong family seems to be a crybaby. Since Mrs. Dong originally thought that she and Pei Yunying had something to do with each other, deepening this misunderstanding would at least eliminate Mr. Dong's obsession in the future.

Lu Zhen took a step back, put the strap of the medical box back on his shoulders, and said, "It's nothing."

 Thought for a while, then raised his head and added: "No need for the golden butterfly, this is a thank you gift."

Pei Yunying looked at her, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it. He just nodded and said with a smile: "Okay."

Lu Zong felt a little at ease and said, "I'm leaving first."

 “I’ll see you off.” He interrupted her.

This time Lu Zhuo did not refuse.

If Dong Lin saw Pei Yunying behaving intimately with her, her thoughts would become clearer. Pei Yunying's move was exactly what she wanted. Fortunately, when they went out this time, perhaps Master Dong was too sad and left first. Until Lu Zhu got on the carriage, he did not see Master Dong.

Pei Yunying stood at the entrance of the alley, waiting for Lu Zhuo's carriage to drive away. The smile on her lips gradually faded. She stood at the entrance of the alley for a while, then turned and walked towards the palace commander's mansion.

 He walked very slowly and looked quiet, as if he was thinking about something. The last rays of the setting sun in the distance had already set, and the courtyard lost its warm light and became deserted for a moment.

After entering the small courtyard of the camp, Pei Yunying was startled when he saw a man leaning against a sycamore tree from a distance.

Xiao Zhufeng stood under the tree with a cold expression. He didn't know when he came and how much he had seen just now.

 “When did you come back?” He stepped forward with a smile.

Xiao Zhufeng didn't say anything, and waited until the other party came closer and almost passed by, then he spoke meaningfully: "I want to pick up something, and I need someone to remove the obstacles on the way for me."

Pei Yunying: “…”

 This is what he said not long ago, when Xiao Zhufeng asked him why he always defended Lu Zhuo, and this was his answer.

"That's great," Xiao Zhufeng glanced at him, his tone indescribable, "You have removed another 'obstacle' on the road for her."

   …”

"It's inexplicable." Pei Yun said, and waved his hand lazily, "If you want to bask in the moonlight, I'm going in." He walked into the camp.

 Xiao Zhufeng stood motionless.

The sky was completely dark, but there was no moon tonight. The wind was blowing in the yard, and a leaf fluttered down from the sycamore tree and landed in his hand.

The leaves were half green and half yellow, but the color in the middle was not clear. Chaos couldn't see clearly. He looked down for a moment, then loosened his hand, and the leaves slowly fell, sinking into the earth like a withered butterfly.

 The man stood up straight and left.
