On the morning of the second day, the carriage that Xiao Linmu sent over punctually stopped in front of Xia Yi's house.
Wei Chu still covered his face, and tightly wrapped himself within the mask.
He was on the verge of tears.
Xiao Linmu was really strange. On one hand, he was afraid that Xia Yi would reveal his identity, and on the other hand, she would be the one to do everything.
Who told Wei Chu to meet Xia Yi the most out of all of Xiao Linmu's servants?
Only he knew where Xia Yi's home was …
Wei Chu sometimes thought, could it be that this was Xiao Linmu's punishment, just because he was too rude to Xia Yi outside the door of the Yueyang Academy Principal's room that day?
What could he do? It was good as long as he was careful not to reveal his identity to Xia Yi.
If he really revealed Xiao Linmu's identity, he really wouldn't dare imagine the days in the future …
But how long would it take to be so secretive?
Wei Chu wasn't sure either.
He helplessly let out a long sigh, jumped down from the carriage, and extended his hand to knock on Xia Yi's door.
"Dong, dong, dong!"
After three knocks on the door, Wei Chu heard the cheerful voice of a little girl.
"Is it the Brother Mu Lin? I'll open the door! "
A little boy's voice followed, "I'm going to see the Brother Mu Lin too."
The door creaked open.
Just as the two little girls were about to pounce over, they saw that the person standing at the entrance covered their face. From their size to their attire, they were all different from Xiao Linmu.
They stopped dead in their tracks.
Not only that, Xia Yang had even subconsciously taken two steps back, hiding behind Xia Yue with eyes full of fear.
"Elder sister." He carefully pulled on Xia Yue's sleeves and cried out softly.
Xia Yue held Xia Yang's hand behind his back, held it tightly and said in a low voice: "Yang, don't be afraid, big sister will be here soon."
Wei Chu knew that he was dressed like a bad guy, but the little boy was actually scared of him to such an extent. He was also extremely helpless as he said, "I was ordered by Young Master to bring you guys to the Juxue Academy."
"Is your young master Brother Mu Lin?" raised her head and asked. Other than Xiao Linmu, not many people knew the exact name of Xia Yi.
"Yes." Wei Chu nodded heavily.
"Why isn't Brother Mu Lin here?"
Xia Yue looked towards the carriage behind Wei Chu, there was no movement at all on the carriage. If Xiao Linmu really came, he would not sit on the carriage and not get down.
Wei Chu said: "Young Master is waiting for you at Juxue Academy."
Wei Chu looked at the little girl in front of him carefully. She was already six or seven years old, if she was a little younger, he would have suspected that she was related to Xiao Linmu by blood. Xiao Linmu was so busy, so he took time out every day to study for the little girl.
But he also knew that it was simply impossible. Other than these two years, he was always by Xiao Linmu's side.
Furthermore, Wei Chu could clearly see that Xiao Linmu was interested in Xia Yi.
If Wei Chu had not seen it with his own eyes, he would not even dare to believe it!
A dignified Prince Mu, in order to curry the favor of a peasant girl, had actually put in so much effort in private, and had even pretended to be very idle all day, not letting the woman know.
At this time, Xia Yi also came out of the room.
She saw Xia Yang hiding behind Xia Yue with a glance, and his body seemed to tremble.
Xia Yi quickly walked over and hugged Xia Yang. She said to Xia Yang: "Yang, don't be scared, this brother is not a bad person. He's someone close to Brother Mu Lin. Think about it, that day outside the Lingshan Town Forest, this Big Brother was also among the people who were saving you. "
Xia Yang blankly shook his head: "Elder sister, Yang can't remember."
That day, Xiao Linmu had brought at least a dozen people, and all of them were masked, Xia Yang was just a young child, and had never seen Wei Chu before, how could he recognize that one of the masked people was Wei Chu?
Xia Yi knew that this was making things difficult for the child.
Then he said: Yang, Brother Mu Lin won't hurt you, right?
Xia Yang nodded heavily.
"Then the people from the Brother Mu Lin will naturally not hurt you, right?" Xia Yi asked.
Xia Yang sneakily glanced at Wei Chu who was covering his face before nodding, and his body no longer trembled.
"But why is big brother covered?" Xia Yang was still a child after all, so he was very curious about a lot of things.
Xia Yi pondered for a moment, and was thinking of an answer, when she heard Wei Chu say depressingly: "Because I'm too ugly."
In order to help Xiao Linmu hide his identity, Wei Chu was willing to risk it all.
Then, he saw Xia Yang look at him with sympathy: "Big Brother, Yang isn't afraid of you. "My sister said that kind-hearted people are the most beautiful."
"…"
The situation turned awkward for a moment.
A child's words come down to nothing. What could Wei Chu do? He could only choose to remain silent.
Xia Yi coughed lightly, breaking the awkward silence: "Let's go, it's time we set off."
"Right, right. It's time to go." Wei Chu hurriedly replied.
It was the first time Xia Yang and Xia Yue rode on a carriage, so the two of them were extremely excited.
Compared to the ox-cart, the carriage was very smooth and fast.
Xia Yang could not stay idle, he was bored inside the horse carriage, so he simply followed Wei Chu and sat outside.
"Yang, come in. You will affect Big Brother Wei Chu driving if you sit outside." Xia Yi was a little worried about Xia Yang's safety as she said this.
Wei Chu wrapped one arm around Xia Yang and used his other hand to pull the reins of his horse.
He turned around and said to Xia Yi: "Miss Xia Yi, there's no harm in this.
With that said, Wei Chu turned back and continued to drive.
Unexpectedly, a gust of wind blew and Xia Yang just so happened to stretch his hand out, his fingers inadvertently hooking onto Wei Chu's face cloth and pulling it off.
"Sorry, Big Brother Wei Chu, Yang didn't do it on purpose." Xia Yang hurriedly raised his head to express his thanks, but didn't expect to see Wei Chu's face.
The servants by Xiao Linmu's side had very strict selection, and Wei Chu had been following him since he was young, so his looks naturally could not be too bad.
"Big brother, you're not ugly …" Xia Yang said.
"Shh …" Wei Chu immediately stopped Xia Yang from speaking further.
At the moment, Xia Yi was still in the carriage, if Xia Yi heard about it, it would not be good.
Wei Chu quickly pulled the mask back on his face and let out a long sigh of relief.
So dangerous! Fortunately, Xia Yang had never seen his face before.
If not, his identity would definitely be exposed, and he would not be able to return to the Prince Mu Palace.
"What are you talking about?" At this time, Xia Yi lifted the carriage's curtain and revealed her head.
Wei Chu immediately replied: It's nothing, it's nothing. Miss Xia Yi, Lady Xia Yue, you guys must do well.
"Alright." Xia Yi replied and retracted her head.
Wei Chu then let out a heavy sigh.
