Chapter 102 Chu Xiaoxiao's Secret
In the afternoon, He Yunxiao had lunch and returned to the study room of Fan Mansion.
After spending the past few days together, He Yunxiao has become very familiar with the small Fan Mansion. Even with his eyes closed, he can find his seat in the study room.
Standing at the door of the Fan Mansion study room, he repeatedly recited in his heart: modest, serious, polite, loyal to the emperor and the country, polite and filial, I am a good person...
After a self-hypnosis, He Yunxiao gently knocked on the door.
"Zi Ruo, I'm here."
Fan Zi Ruo's calm and gentle voice soon came out of the study room.
"Young Master, please come in quickly."
He Yunxiao got permission and then pushed the door open.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw this beautiful lady from a noble family sitting upright at the desk, holding a book in her hand and smiling at him.
In the afternoon, the abundant sunlight outside the window poured into the study room. The dignified and gentle beauty sat at the desk, holding an open blue-covered novel in her hand, and not far behind her was a tall bookshelf full of books.
Dust flows in the air, and eyes entangle with each other through the sunlight.
Time does not stop, but everything seems to stop in time.
Only the birds outside the window like to make noise, and a few playful calls disturb the quietness of the study.
He Yunxiao couldn't help but stare blankly. Since the favorability has increased, Fan Ziruo's emotions towards him have become much richer.
So her smile can be seen often.
As if making fun of He Yunxiao, Fan Ziruo saw him standing stupidly at the door and looking at him, and his smile became more intense.
"What are you looking at, young master? I saw you in the morning, don't you recognize Ziruo?"
He Yunxiao scratched his head awkwardly.
He called himself a loser in his heart. He kept repeating to himself that he should be serious before entering the door. As a result, as soon as he came in, he stared at the girl in a daze.
After being severely educated by Nanzhu's wife, He Yunxiao no longer wanted to rely on "cheating" to gain the favor of others. Even if there was a risk of being disliked by Fan Ziruo, he chose to tell the truth.
"You are beautiful, and you look even better when you smile. I don't see you very often, but now that I see you, I can't help but look at you for a while longer. Please don't blame me."
Fan Ziruo sighed, "Beauty is really an inconvenient thing."
He Yunxiao sat down at the desk and felt a little funny when he heard her say that.
"What ordinary women can't get in their lifetime, what countless men are willing to fall in love with, seems to be worthless to Miss Ziruo."
"Not only is it worthless, it's also a burden."
"Aren't you afraid of getting beaten for saying that?"
Fan Ziruo sighed, "People who admire my beauty will eventually admire the beauty of others. But all such people will swear to say 'I only like you'. Perhaps, their love is real, but they don't like the whole me, but only my appearance."
The more He Yunxiao heard this, the more he felt something was wrong.
Just when he praised her for her beauty, she said, "I don't like her completely, just her appearance."
He Yunxiao is not stupid. After he figured out the underlying logic behind Fan Ziruo's words, he immediately expressed his loyalty to Fan Ziruo.
"Zi Ruo, have you ever been to Ting Feng Lou?"
"No."
"Ting Feng Lou has a wide variety of things, some of which are quite expensive, but they sell well. The fundamental reason is that the things there are not only practical, but also good-looking. Just talking about the rapiers used by women. The custom-made swords of Ting Feng Lou can be engraved with various patterns, and can also be inlaid with gold and silver, and carved with jade. There are even a variety of pendants behind the hilt to choose from."
"Compared with ordinary blacksmith shops that only focus on sharpness, the custom-made rapiers of Ting Feng Lou are more expensive, but the business is better. For an object, sharpness is a skill, and beauty is also a skill. In ancient times, there was the story of 'Zhaojun going out to the frontier', using beauty to exchange for peace. The girl is naturally beautiful, although she has troubles, she should cherish it more."
"Let's not talk about anything else, just say that if she meets her true love in the future, if he sees that the girl does not value and cherish herself like this, he will also feel sorry for the girl."
Fan Zi Ruo was stunned to listen to what He Yunxiao said, and felt a little moved.
Although I think beauty is troublesome, I don't want to "not cherish" it.
"Sir, you said so much, are you afraid that Ziruo will destroy her appearance one day?"
He Yunxiao is of course afraid, otherwise he wouldn't have given Fan Ziruo so much advice.
According to Fan Ziruo's desire for spiritual fusion, it is possible that she will destroy her beauty and pursue "true love".
"Of course I am afraid. If the girl can't figure it out one day, come to me."
"What do you want to find you for?"
"I will let the girl see the power of beauty. If the girl is willing to smile for me, I will massage her shoulders and legs and serve her tea and water."
[Fan Ziruo's favorability changed from 73 to 75]
"Puchi."
Fan Ziruo, who has always been quiet, was also amused by He Yunxiao's words.
She lowered her head and covered her mouth with her hands, her big curved eyes full of smiles.
"Young Master really likes beautiful girls."
He Yunxiao said frankly: "Everyone loves beauty."
"Miss Xiaoxiao is also very beautiful."
He Yunxiao continued to say frankly: "That's because..."
Danger!
"Of course she is not as good as Miss Ziruo!"
Fan Ziruo looked at He Yunxiao with a sharp gaze.
"Ziruo feels that Young Master is a little bit hypocritical now."
He Yunxiao's mouth twitched, and he immediately proved himself innocent by saying, "Chu Xiaoxiao is always the same, she has a bad temper, is not popular, and can't speak. She only has the advantage of being a little prettier. I won't marry her anyway."
Fan Ziruo looked at He Yunxiao and blinked. She heard from He Yunxiao's tone that he seemed to be serious when he said "I won't marry her".
So, she didn't dislike Chu Xiaoxiao that much.
However, although Fan Ziruo didn't say it, she was still worried about the secret between He Yunxiao and Chu Xiaoxiao.
This morning alone, there were three incidents. One was not allowed to ask about Chu Xiaoxiao's personality, the second was to go out and stay with Chu Xiaoxiao for half an hour, and the third was to drive herself away and be alone with Chu Xiaoxiao.
Fan Ziruo is not the type of person who likes to pry into other people's privacy, but this incident happened to He Yunxiao and other women, which always made her feel uncomfortable.
She couldn't say why she felt uncomfortable, but she was uncomfortable anyway.
Seeing her wanting to ask but not asking, He Yunxiao simply took the initiative to ask: "Zi Ruo, do you want to ask about Chu Xiaoxiao and me?"
"Zi Ruo shouldn't ask."
"Then you still want to ask?"
Fan Zi Ruo knew that she shouldn't ask about He Yunxiao's interpersonal relationships, but she still nodded reluctantly.
"Yeah."
He Yunxiao thought, Fan Zi Ruo is so smart, and Chu Xiaoxiao comes to hang around in front of her every day, sooner or later, things will be revealed. Instead of hiding it from Fan Zi Ruo, it's better to tell her as soon as possible. Maybe she can help me.
"I'll tell Zi Ruo, Zi Ruo must keep it a secret for me."
Fan Zi Ruo said firmly: "Okay. I won't tell you even if I die."
As a result, He Yunxiao's first sentence made her dumbfounded.
"Chu Xiaoxiao is not Chu Fan's biological sister."
The second sentence.
"She actually likes her brother Chu Fan."
The third sentence.
"I'm helping her to make Chu Fan like her too."
Fan Zi Ruo was dumbfounded. Her traditional values were shattered by He Yunxiao's words.
