"You need to get used to it. After all, in the future..." Xia Lin realized something and quickly stopped himself. Fortunately, he didn't say it out. But Qiu Zi and Ling Yuan both asked curiously, "In the future, what?"
Of course, Xia Lin couldn't tell them that he would completely leave this world in the future. He thought it would be better for them to get used to being separated from him for a long time in advance.
"Nothing. I'm thinking of going back home during the Dragon Boat Festival. What do you think?"
Qiu Zi and Ling Yuan exchanged a look, then looked at Xia Lin together and said, "We'll follow whatever the young master says."
After Qiu Zi left, Ling Yuan asked Xia Lin, "Young master, do you want to go back during the Dragon Boat Festival to tell the general, the lady and the eldest young master about your relationship with the master?"
Xia Lin stared at Ling Yuan in surprise. "How do you know?"
Ling Yuan replied calmly, "I guessed it."
Guessed it? That's amazing! Xia Lin clapped his hands. Ling Yuan looked confused, not understanding what this meant. "Xiaoyuan, you're much smarter than that stupid Qiu Zi! And now your martial arts skills have even surpassed mine. Hey, Xiaoyuan, you're definitely going to achieve great things in the future."
Ling Yuan stared at Xia Lin firmly. "No matter what I become in the future, I'll always be loyal to the young master. The young master is the most important person to me!"
Xia Lin was very touched, but thinking that he would leave Ling Yuan and Qiu Zi in the future made him feel even more sad. Parting is always sad. Fortunately, he still had some time to spend with these cherished people.
At night, after some intimate moments between Jiang Yun and Xia Lin, they also discussed the matter of "coming out". "If you're scared, we can wait for another two years. There's no hurry."
Xia Lin shook his head. "The sooner it's over, the better. The longer we delay, the worse the situation will be. Do you know, Jiang Yun? Although my parents told Concubine Xuan before that it would be okay for me to get married even when I'm twenty. But I'm only sixteen this year, and in the letter my mother wrote to me, she introduced me to several young ladies in the capital with good family backgrounds and looks. So we can't delay any longer. We'll talk about it when we go back during the Dragon Boat Festival. Even if my parents beat me half to death, I won't give you up, Jiang Yun! I just want to be with you."
【Ding~ Sweet talk attack. Jiang Yun's love value increases by 4 points. The current love value is 92 points. There will be a reward when the love value reaches 100. Please keep it up, host.】
Before going to bed, Jiang Yun asked the question that had been on his mind. "Xia Lin, why haven't your elder brothers gotten married yet even though they're older than me?"
Xia Lin was stunned for a moment and scratched his head embarrassedly. "Cough, I'll tell you, but you must keep it a secret. And don't let my parents and elder brothers know that I told you."
Jiang Yun nodded, becoming even more curious. "Tell me."
"Actually, when my elder brother was seventeen, he had a girlfriend from a well - matched family. They were almost getting married, but then that girl drowned while taking a boat. My elder brother was on the shore at that time. Although he finally jumped into the river, he couldn't save her. After that, my elder brother had some psychological problems. He has no... cough... physical impulses towards girls. So..."
After hearing this, Jiang Yun said, "Only when your elder brother falls in love with a woman again can he overcome his psychological problem."
Two months later, when there was still half a month until the Dragon Boat Festival, Xia Lin and the others took four carriages back to the General's Mansion again.
After returning to the General's Mansion, this time his parents didn't say he had lost weight because he had really built up a stronger body.
"Mom and Dad, look at my muscles. Aren't they stronger than they were half a year ago?"
