Chapter 367 A lot of indifference
The granddaughter of the Prince of Zhongshan in northern Hebei, who has been pampered in the boudoir for more than ten years, is still engraved in her bones even though she is ill and has no memory.

She took off her embroidered shoes, but she didn't dare to actually take off her stockings to tread water.

After hesitating for a long time, she still sat on the smooth stone and watched the children playing in the water in the distance. She occasionally used her fingertips to stir up the clear stream beside the stone.

There are small black tadpoles like small bean sprouts swimming in the water.

Chen Shulan accidentally touched the tadpole with her fingertips. She was startled, and the tadpoles fled in all directions, causing waves of light ripples in the water.

Xie Changyuan squatted beside her, "Is there such a stream in northern Hebei?"

Chen Shulan shook his head.

It's not that it doesn't exist, but that she doesn't remember it.

During the recent period, Qing Moss and Aunt Liu had also talked to her a lot in private about her own affairs, hoping that she could remember some of them.

However, those things were like other people's stories to her.

She couldn't remember.

The word "Northern Hebei" is also very unfamiliar, and everything only stays between Qing Moss and Aunt Liu's words.

Xie Changyuan said "Oh", lifted up his robe and sat casually on the ground.

Chen Shulan quickly grabbed him, patted the empty space next to her, pointed to the ground, and opened her lips.

Xie Changyuan saw that she meant that the ground was cold and wanted him to sit next to her.

Xie Changyuan naturally wanted to follow the beauty's wish, and sat on the stone with a smile.

The smooth and clean stone was originally big enough, but as soon as Xie Changyuan sat on it, it seemed to be a lot crowded.

Chen Shulan couldn't help but move to the side.

Xie Changyuan said: "Don't move. I won't fish you out if you fall into the water. It's embarrassing."

"..."

Chen Shulan bit her lip, glared at him, and pushed him angrily.

Naturally, I didn't push him.

Xie Changyuan still held the umbrella above their heads.

After getting along for a long time, he knew that this girl Chen Shulan was really delicate and her face and hands could not withstand a little sunlight.

When we were in the capital, we once went for an outing to the outskirts of Beijing to fly paper kites. We were outside for such a long time, and he felt that the sun was not very strong, and the light on people felt comfortable.

As a result, Chen Shulan's face was red when she got home, and she stayed red for two days.

At first he joked maliciously that her face was as red as a monkey's butt.

Later, Qingmo couldn't stand it anymore and said weakly that the young lady was pregnant.

Xie Changyuan was shocked and amused when he heard this.

He wandered around the rosy complexion, and of course he knew that some women with delicate skin were extremely afraid of the sun, but this was the first time he had seen a woman with such a good tan.

This little thing still existed in his heart.

Xie Changyuan rolled his eyelids up, looked at the bamboo leaf and green oil paper umbrella above his head, and sighed again.

"You don't know your brother at all?" Xie Changyuan asked casually, bored: "I said that Chen Wenzhuo will visit yours every few days."

Chen Shulan shook his head.

"Then you don't remember anything about Jibei?"

Chen Shulan still shook his head.

Xie Changyuan's angular lips pursed and pursed again, and a sentence rolled on the tip of his tongue again and again, but finally he still didn't ask it.

These three words, Chen Qingci, are probably her taboo.

Xie Changyuan couldn't help but secretly laugh at himself. He was thinking about this carefully just now. Was he afraid that when she arrived in northern Hebei and a familiar place, she would think of Chen Qingci?

A dead man... so what if I think of it.

At most, she wouldn't be bothering him as much as she is now, staring at him with anger and irritation, looking squeamish, silly, and pitiful.When the time comes... he will probably be like before, standing at a distance in an orderly manner, saluting him dignifiedly and calling him "Thank you, Fifth Young Master".

But he is playing in the world anyway, and when the time comes, he will turn around and maybe meet another confidante in a few days.

Xie Changyuan was thinking about these things boredly, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

His eyes couldn't help but fall on Chen Shulan's face. The brilliance in his eyes gradually changed from the indifferent and casual look at the beginning to complexity and darkness.

Chen Shulan noticed that his mood was not right, so she turned around and looked at him with questioning eyes.

Xie Changyuan pursed his lips for a long time, and his eyes became more and more deep and complicated. Chen Shulan was very uneasy when he looked at him. He lowered his head and looked at himself. Seeing that there was nothing wrong, he gently pulled his sleeve and asked him what was wrong.

Xie Changyuan took a deep breath and closed his eyes. After a while, he opened his eyes, his eyes were very calm, "It's okay, you can sit by yourself for a while."

Just as Chen Shulan was about to nod, Xie Changyuan thrust the umbrella into her hand, got up and walked away.

Chen Shulan looked at his back in astonishment, but for a moment, she felt that he seemed to have become a lot more indifferent. It was completely different from the way he had just looked at her in Lou Chuan's room, peeling broad beans for herself.

what happened?
Chen Shulan looked down at the stream next to her for a while, put her umbrella aside, and walked in the direction he went while carrying her embroidered shoes.

Qingmao looked at it and thoughtfully did not follow him.

When Chen Shulan came over, Xie Changyuan was leaning against a big tree with his eyes closed to meditate.

Hearing the light footsteps, he opened his eyes and glanced at Chen Shulan: "Why are you here -"

However, when he looked down, he saw her carrying her shoes and wearing only stockings on her feet. He couldn't help but frown, and wanted to scold her. Wouldn't she catch a cold like this?

But when the words reached the tip of his tongue, he swallowed them back hard.

Chen Shulan's eyes showed worry, hesitantly opened his mouth, and said silently: Are you tired?Then let's go back.

"Ah."

Xie Changyuan responded indifferently and walked past Chen Shulan.

Chen Shulan stared blankly at his back for a moment, lowered her head and followed forward, wondering if she had done something wrong or said something wrong.

But today she seemed to have done nothing.

Suddenly, a sharp pain came from his feet, and Chen Shulan took a breath and squatted on the ground.

Xie Changyuan turned around and saw that she couldn't get up with a pale face, "What's wrong?"

Chen Shulan shook his head.

Xie Changyuan stood for a long time, took a deep breath and walked to Chen Shulan to check.

It turned out that there was a stone under her feet. She stepped on it while wearing only socks, and she bit the sole of her foot. Fortunately, it was not a sharp stone and she was not injured.

Xie Changyuan took the shoes she was carrying and put them aside, "Put them on."

Chen Shulan nodded, put on her shoes awkwardly, then grabbed Xie Changyuan's sleeves and stood up.

Xie Changyuan was walking in front, and out of the corner of his eye he saw her limping behind. It was an eyesore, so he simply turned around and turned his head away.

Chen Shulan just sluggishly returned to the boat. Xie Changyuan got on the boat without saying a word, and she followed.

The building is not big, only one room.

Xie Changyuan did not enter the room after boarding the boat, but sat on the bow.

Chen Shulan hesitated for a moment and did not enter the room. She stood on the bow and looked at him.

She tried hard to open her mouth and make a sound, to ask him what was wrong, to communicate with him.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make a sound.

After a long while, Chen Shulan lowered his head in frustration and went back to the room to sit down alone.

There were still uneaten baked broad beans and pastries on the table, as well as the broad bean skins that Xie Changyuan had just peeled.

He sat opposite her, peeling broad beans with a smile on his lips, as if he was still in front of him, but he just ignored him.
