Tonight's Zhuangyuan Street is as lively as the Qinhuai River. Even though there has been a little drizzle, there are still crowds of people coming and going. Those scholars can be seen everywhere, and they are all high-spirited.

This is human nature. Even though many people know that they may not be able to pass the exam, at least the nine-day exam is over, and they feel inexplicably relaxed. No matter how tired they were during the day, by this night, they are all out.

Du Ruo bought an umbrella on the way back and shared the same umbrella with Xue Hongyi. As they were walking and approaching the inn, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind: "Brother Du!"

Du Ruo stopped, turned around, saw Chu Tianfang and Yu Chen, and shouted: "Brother Yu, Brother Chu, it's you, what a coincidence!"

Yu Chen and Chu Tianfang came over, and Yu Chen cupped his hands and said, "I came here to relax with my junior brother, and I happened to come here. From the back, I look a bit like you, Brother Du. I didn't expect it to be..."

As he spoke, Yu Chen was suddenly stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief. At the same time, Chu Tianfang had the same expression, and both of them looked at Xue Hongyi in shock.

"Xue...Xue Baotou..."

Yu Chen and Chu Tianfang looked at Xue Hongyi, who was wearing an undershirt and carrying a basket, with no trace of shock on their expressions.

In fact, Xue Hongyi's dress today was completely different from her usual appearance. Just now, the two of them had never thought that it would be Xue Hongyi, and they could not associate Xue Hongyi with such a girl next door.

"Brother Du, Miss Xue... please excuse me and say goodbye!"

Chu Tianfang suddenly grabbed Yu Chen and cast an ambiguous look at Du Ruo. Regardless of Yu Chen's shock, he directly pulled Yu Chen away and said in a pure Sichuan dialect: "Let's go, senior brother, you

This will make Mo Mo’s eyes wet!"

"Ah, oh, I understand, I understand!"

Seeing Yu Chen and Chu Tianfang disappearing into the crowd as if they were fleeing, Du Ruo looked expressionless and slowly lowered his head to look at Xue Hongyi.

The light of the lights shone on Xue Hongyi's body. Her fiery red skirt was like water, rippling, and the breeze mixed with drizzle, floating in the night.

Xue Hongyi was petite. Standing in front of Du Ruo, she could barely hit Du Ruo's shoulder. After changing out of her official uniform, putting on her undershirt, and throwing away the two knives, she became just like an ordinary little girl.

Standing in front of her, someone always needs to protect her from the wind and rain.

Du Ruo looked at Xue Hongyi calmly.

In fact, he has been in contact with Xue Hongyi many times. Xue Hongyi is really not beautiful. At least, the Meng Ni from Lianwu Lake or Ling Xiaoxiao whom he has met before are prettier than Xue Hongyi.

Not to mention the beautiful beauties like Nangong Hubo and Su Ruyu who are amazed by everyone in the world.

It can even be said that in a small place like Wutong Town, Du Ruo can find many girls who are more beautiful than Xue Hongyi.

But he didn't know if it was because of the night. Inexplicably, he suddenly felt that Xue Hongyi was very good-looking, very good-looking, even better than Su Ruyu Nangong Amber.

Xue Hongyi raised his head slightly, and their eyes met. Xue Hongyi hurriedly took a step back, grabbed the basket tightly with both hands, and said: "I...I...just sent you here, you...yourself...

Go back, I want to go back too!"

After saying that, Xue Hongyi hurriedly turned around, gently lifted up her skirt and ran away.

"Red!"

Du Ruo suddenly shouted loudly.

Xue Hongyi stopped, turned around, and looked at Du Ruo.

Du Ruo strode over, lowered his head, handed the umbrella to Xue Hongyi's hand, and said softly: "I'll be there soon. Please take the umbrella and don't get wet."

Du Ruo smiled slightly, turned around and left.

"Duruo!"

Xue Hongyi suddenly shouted again.

Du Ruo turned around and looked at Xue Hongyi.

"What's wrong?"

Xue Hongyi walked over, raised her head, showed a smile, smiled generously, and said softly: "Du Ruo, I will be in Jinling during this period. If you encounter anything, just come to me."

Du Ruo nodded and said: "I understand." Looking at Xue Hongyi who was hesitant to speak, Du Ruo asked again: "You...do you have anything else?"

Xue Hongyi pursed her lips, hesitated for a while, and said: "Well, besides, I...I...I think we...are very destined, um, quite...fateful..."

Du Ruo suddenly felt tense all over, and his mind was a little confused. He was full of emotions, but he deliberately suppressed them and kept them calm: "Then...then what?"

Xue Hongyi couldn't help but tighten her grip on the umbrella handle, and said, "I think you... will..."

Du Ruo widened his glasses and held his breath.

Xue Hongyi bit her lip slightly and said: "You...become my brother from now on, and we will be sworn brothers!" When Xue Hongyi said this, he relaxed a little and continued: "If you don't

If you dislike it!"

Du Ruo: "..."

"This...isn't appropriate!"

"There is nothing inappropriate," Xue Hongyi said: "Although you are only seventeen years old and I am just as older as you, it is normal. If my brother does not die, he will be as old as you. In the future, in Suzhou, who will

If he bullies you, just say you are my brother and I will beat him up for you, how about that?"

It was drizzling, and the breeze came up and fell on his face, which was a bit cold. His hair was also slightly covered with a thin layer of water. Du Ruo took a long breath, then took a step back, waved his sleeves,

He clasped his hands together and said: "No, I think it's good now. I was lucky to meet you in Jinling and get to know you. However, there is no need to be sworn friends. I treat you as my sister and you as my brother."

, the same thing."

"Du Ruo..." Xue Hongyi gritted her teeth, hesitated, and said, "That's okay. You should pay attention to rest. When the results are released in a few days, I will come to congratulate you. Don't let me down!"

"Okay, if I win the prize, I will treat you to dinner."

"Then it's settled."

"It's a deal."

"Well, then I'm... leaving!"

"Okay, slow down, the road is slippery..."

"I know, you should go back quickly, your subordinates will be waiting impatiently."

"Well, okay, then I'm leaving!"

"Well, you go quickly, it's raining!"

"Okay, then you should go back quickly, it's quite late!"

"Okay, I'm leaving now!"

"..."

…………

After walking for a long time, the rain slowly started to fall a bit heavier. Xue Hongyi held an umbrella and held a basket in her hand. There was a slight accumulation of water on the street. She walked step by step, lowering her head, and the flow of people

It moves like a phantom, everything is so far away.

Du Ruo stood at the door, looking at the drops of water falling from the eaves, standing with his hands behind his hands, looking at the people coming and going on the street, looking at the various shops on the brightly lit street, the bustle of people seemed to be a world away,

It's elusive but elusive.
