Chapter 8 How can I keep you?


The raindrops that stayed on the glass greenhouse shone dazzlingly in the sunlight.

Among the lush flowers and branches, Jiang Sui turned his head and looked at the white profile of the person next to him.

The fluttering eyelashes were like fluttering butterfly wings, the slightly pursed lips, and the eyes that looked at the scene in front of her with hidden curiosity, making her heart feel like it was being grasped by someone's hands, giving off a sour and sweet taste.

Jiang Sui couldn't help but touch her chest. The fierce beating of her heart stimulated her eardrums, making her unable to hear the rest of the sound.

The person she was looking at suddenly withdrew his gaze and rested on her cheek. The place he was looking at radiated heat that she couldn't suppress. She could even see her confused look in Lin Qiyue's dark eyes. .

"That flower seems to be a little..." Lin Xiyue turned her head and was about to say something, but stopped when she saw Jiang Sui's eyes.

That's a pain.

She sensed the unhappy mood of the protagonist, but when she opened her mouth, she had nothing to say. She always felt that no matter what she said, it was just futile comfort.

So she also fell silent.

Crystal water drops were dripping from the pool standing on the side, slowly gathering on the ground. In the quiet space, this was the only sound they could hear.

After a long time, Lin Xiyue withdrew her eyes from the creek flowing freely on the ground, dryly took out a pack of tissues from her coat pocket, and said, "Otherwise, you should cry."


"I'll pretend I didn't see it." She thought for a moment and closed her eyes.

Jiang Sui lowered his gaze and focused on the fingertips that turned white from exertion.

Sure enough, no matter how time passed, she stood there without any change.

This is such a happy but sad thing.

But the woman named Jiang Sui has lost her original appearance as time goes by.

At this time, she should probably shed tears while taking advantage of the concern of her loved one, and then tell her pain over the years, using her own weakness to hide it in her arms little by little.

This is not something difficult to do, Jiang Sui thought.

"I don't want to cry, I'm just... very happy." She took the package of paper, looked at the silly simple smiley face on the tissue package, and smiled like no other.

"I'm happy." She repeated it for some reason, and then said:

"You can open your eyes and look at me now."

The white clouds above the sky drift into the distance with the wind, and the hanging shadows sometimes block the dazzling sunlight, allowing humans standing on the ground to have a temporary haven under the harsh sunlight.

The air that had just rained and was illuminated by the sun was hot and humid, and the winding creek under their feet had reached the place where they stood alone.

Lin Xiyue opened her eyes, took a step back to avoid the running water that was just about to climb up her shoes, and asked silently: "...the pool is leaking, is it okay?"

Jiang Sui first glanced down, and then burst out laughing uncontrollably.

Her eyebrows and eyes were curved, not a gentle smile deliberately pretending when facing someone, nor a cold expression when she was sitting alone on a high platform looking down.

That does not contain any meaning, but is very pure——

It's...what?

The flowers beside her were fragrant and fragrant. Surrounded by all kinds of precious flowers and leaves, Lin Xiyue seemed to understand a little bit about the charm of the protagonist in this world.

"It's okay." Jiang Sui held Lin Xiyue's wrist again, and brushed away the soft branches decorated with purple-blue flowers hanging down in front of his eyes with his other hand.

He turned around to avoid his lover's focused gaze.

"I'll take you to see the flowers."

They only left the silhouette of their backs leaving together in the eyes of others.

White clouds drifted across the sky, and the sun shone directly down. Lin Xiyue, who was lazily reading a book on a lounge chair by the lake, frowned.

Soon, a servant in this manor came from nowhere holding an umbrella, lowered his head and explained that it was already noon time and the sun was too bright, so why not go to the pavilion to taste the delicacies made by the chef.

Lin Xiyue closed the "General History of World Civilization" in her hand and stood up, nodded and said politely: "Sorry to trouble you."

The girl with her head lowered took a few steps forward, raised her arms, and tried to use the parasol in her hand to block the sun from the woman who was solemnly told by the housekeeper to take good care of her.

Lin Xiyue took the umbrella and took a few steps. Then he looked back at the person standing still and asked, "Aren't you leaving?"

"I don't know the way to the pavilion."

The man suddenly came to his senses and quickly chased after him.

The way to the pavilion requires passing through a tree-lined road that is like a tunnel covered by flower branches. The dappled sunlight penetrates the umbrella and then sways with ripples on her delicate cheeks.

Lin Xiyue couldn't help but fell into thinking.

A few days have passed since the flowers with unknown names that they went to see. Logically speaking, they should explain it quickly and solve all kinds of troubles, and then return to their own world to achieve the achievement of HE. .

The above is a systematic statement.

As for the glass ball, which can be said to be a useless system, I just found a random reason to send it to spy on the protagonist.

After all, Jiang Sui had never appeared in front of her since that day, so her idea of ​​having a face-to-face talk was stillborn.

Moreover, every time she and the housekeeper asked to leave here, they were always ignored...

Could it be that Jiang Sui deliberately avoided her because he didn't want her to leave but didn't know what excuse to make?

She couldn't help but make some strange guesses.

"Um, you-" Lin Xiyue wanted to ask about Jiang Sui from the person who was several arms' distance away from her, but she didn't know the person's name, so she couldn't help but pause.

The girl in black uniform showed a smile that was very familiar to Lin Xiyue, "Miss Lin, just call me Xiaochu."

"Okay, Xiaochu." Lin Xiyue asked tactfully: "Jiang...Is Jiang Sui usually so busy?"

Xiaochu still maintained a smile and said: "I'm sorry, Miss Lin. This is not something I can understand based on my position."

"But...Ms. Lin can try calling a private phone number to inquire."

"The head of the family will definitely be very happy."

It's not like she never thought of contacting her by phone. She even deleted the text message several times, Lin Xiyue thought silently as she looked at a pink-blue flower wrapped around the shelf.

But she was clearly thinking well, but she still couldn't make up her mind. Jiang Sui's eyes that day always appeared in front of her from time to time in the past few days.

She always felt that if she continued to ask in the way she and the system said, the ending would definitely not be as HE as they thought.

"I will consider it." Lin Xiyue turned around and said: "Then you can tell me about Jiang Sui before-"

"Qiyue, if you want to know about me, why don't you ask the person involved?"

Jiang Sui, whom he hadn't seen for a few days, stood at the end of the tunnel of flowers and branches and asked with a smile.

Lin Xiyue finally knew why she felt Xiaochu's smile felt familiar.

Because it was exactly the same as the smile on Jiang Sui's face.
