The room was quiet for a moment, and under the flickering candlelight, Yi Cui's eyes flashed with struggle.

What if...what if Han Yu doesn't like her?

"Bang bang bang...it's dry and dry, be careful of the fire!" Accompanied by the wooden sound of beating the watch and shouting, it seemed that a watchman was walking by the street corner, and the sound of "bang bang" was constantly heard through the courtyard wall. Come in and walk away.

Yi Cui's heart trembled and her eyes became firm.

Now that the words have been spoken, there is no room left for them to change.

"Okay, miss, I'm sorry for causing you trouble." She bit her lip and agreed.

Shen Qingyun's eyes were soft and she sighed secretly in her heart: "No matter what the outcome is, it's a good thing to talk things out."

Yi Cui nodded and stood aside with a blushing face.

Shen Qingyun glanced at her with some worry. Just thinking about Han Yu's identity, he felt that the two of them were not very compatible. After all, their life trajectories, opinions and concepts were quite different.

In her opinion, Han Yu is just tired of the filthiness of the Northern Li Kingdom's royal family and the intrigues between the government and the public, and wants to escape. But when he has figured out what he wants, he will still leave to create his own life.

However, from Yicui's point of view, the matter of feelings is inherently unclear, and it is not easy for her to intervene directly.

Then she blew the whistle.

A moment later, Han Yu came. His eyes were bright and there was a smile on his lips. Although it was night, he looked full of energy: "Miss, is there anything you need me to do?"

Shen Qingyun nodded and said to him seriously: "Hanyu, take Yicui outside for a walk and protect her safety. She has something to talk to you about. When the chat is over, we will talk about it later. She was escorted back."

Han Yu was a little confused, and then he noticed Yicui standing next to him.

But Yi Cui lowered her head and couldn't see clearly what the expression on her face was.

He tentatively confirmed: "Now, miss?"

"Yes, go now." Shen Qingyun said, gently pushing Yi Cui's arm.

Although Han Yu was a little confused, he naturally had to handle Shen Qingyun's instructions, so he led Yicui out in silence.

The two were walking in the yard one after another. Han Yu asked, "Where are you going?"

Hearing his voice, Yi Cui suddenly raised her head to look at him, then shyly looked away: "Anywhere...anywhere is fine."

Han Yu frowned, thinking of Shen Qingyun's instructions: "Take her outside for a walk."

But going out from the front was too conspicuous, so Han Yu had no choice but to lead Yicui to the small back door, and Yicui just followed him step by step.

Hanshuang in the dark saw it and asked with some confusion: "It's so late, where are they going?"

Han Qing couldn't figure it out and said casually: "It should be something the young lady ordered."

Hanshuang's face darkened.

Damn it, why did the young lady ask him to do something? They took turns to keep watch, and it was clearly her and Han Qing who were on duty tonight! This Han Yu actually stole another errand!

She had secretly made some comparisons with Han Yu several times in her heart, but she didn't know that Han Yu just felt at a loss at this moment.

Seeing that they were far away and there was no one around, Yi Cui suddenly said: "Okay, let's stay here."

Han Yu turned around, still a little confused in his eyes: "Here? What exactly does the lady want us to do?"

He looked around. This corridor was relatively remote. There were no people around, and naturally there were no lights. Only the lights in the distance slightly illuminated the road.

Yi Cui took a few deep breaths, lowered her head slightly, then took out a purse from her sleeve, stretched out her hand and handed it to Han Yu, and said hesitantly: "I wanted to thank you for saving me, so, I did this.

purse, but then you left, and now you are back, um...can you accept it?"

Her voice was a little soft, and Han Yu couldn't help but take a step closer to hear her clearly.

Feeling Han Yu's approach, Yi Cui felt her heart beating like a drum and her cheeks were getting hot.

Telling Hanyu her feelings was probably the boldest decision she had ever made in her life.

But Han Yu did not take the purse. His face was in the shadows, and his eyes were calm: "I don't remember when I saved you, and you don't need to thank me."

Yi Cui's hand immediately tightened her purse, and she raised her head and looked directly at Han Yu: "Actually, it may not be anything special to you, but I...but I remember, I...I just...

..I just...want you to accept it, because..."

She closed her eyes, encouraged herself in her heart, and then said: "Hanyu, I am happy with you, what about you?"

Do you like me even a little bit?

The scene of meeting Han Yu for the first time flashed through her mind.

At that time, Shen Zhifeng was having an affair with Mrs. Jiang Hou, and she almost caught him. It was Han Yu who rescued her in time, thus preventing her from being discovered and silenced.

The two of them hid behind the rockery. It was also the first time that she had been so close to a man.

At that time, she was completely stunned. Han Yu's palm covered her mouth, and his sharp eyes told her not to speak. She should be afraid, but her intuition told her that he had no ill intentions.

The young man's handsome face was magnified in front of her eyes, and she seemed to feel his heat on her cheeks.

Later, in many dreams, she dreamed of Han Yu.

There was silence for a long time in the corridor. Yi Cui's outstretched arm was already a little sore. She stared at her shoes and bit her lip.

"I only know that you are the young lady's maid, and I have never had any other thoughts." Han Yu's voice was cold.

Although heartbroken, this answer was what Yi Cui had expected.

She took back her purse and plucked up the courage to look up at Han Yu: "If not before, then what about in the future? Can you try to see me more in the future? Maybe, I mean maybe, we..."

"Impossible." Han Yu interrupted coldly.

He stood quietly, without any movement on his face: "Is this why you asked the lady to come out to me? Does the lady know?"

Yi Cui's face turned pale inch by inch. She tried her best to hold back her tears and nodded.

A trace of hurt flashed across Han Yu's eyes.

Yicui wanted to try again, so she spoke again: "The lady said, it all depends on our wishes. I think if we make contact..."

"Don't think about it." Han Yu interrupted her again: "I won't like you, not now and not in the future. We are completely incompatible, so there is no need for contact."

He wanted to say that the only person he liked was Shen Qingyun, but he suddenly thought that Yicui was still Shen Qingyun's personal maid after all, so he suppressed his words and changed his words.

The last sentence was: "The house is safe, you can go back by yourself."
