At the ball, Lin Xiyan and Li Yizhuo talked about astronomy and astrology. It turned out that Li Yizhuo liked astronomy very much. He believed that there must be a world beyond the sky that humans did not know about. If he had lived in the modern world, he would have been an excellent astrologer.
Halfway through the ball, they arrived at Li Yizhuo's study. Li Yizhuo explained many astronomical phenomena to Lin Xiyan. There had never been a woman who had the same interest as him, and Lin Xiyan's knowledge made Li Yizhuo look at her in a new light. Her beauty and kindness were also recognized by Li Yizhuo. Most importantly, his mother and sister liked her too, so Li Yizhuo followed the advice of his elders and decided to marry Lin Xiyan.
"Mom, I can't take it anymore. I want to chase Lin Xiyan out of the Lin family.”Not only did Lin Xiyan make a fool of herself at the ball, but she also got engaged to her beloved Li Yizhuo.
"Nuolan, how can I tolerate that mother and daughter? However, now is not the time. Let's wait a little longer.”Liu Junru comforted her daughter.
"But that bitch Lin Xiyan is about to marry into the Li family. Mom, you know I like Li Yizhuo.”
How could he not know his daughter's thoughts?"Isn't she still unmarried? Mother wouldn't let Lin Xiyan get what she wanted. Believe in Mom, you will definitely get what you want in the end. All right, now we can't let anyone see what we're up to.”
Her mother was a very resourceful woman. She would definitely keep her promise. Lin Nuolan calmed down and looked forward to the day Lin Xiyan was kicked out of the house.
school
Lin Xiyan spent most of her time reading astronomy books except during class.
"Xiyan, you and my brother are a match made in heaven. After you marry into my family, you can't just read books and ignore me.”Li Xinyou was very happy that Lin Xiyan was about to become her sister-in-law.
"It's just that we can't get married so soon.”Lin Xiyan was happy to be engaged to her Prince Charming. However, he was also worried. If he really found a way to return to the modern world, what would Li Yizhuo do?
"Mom said that we'll hold the wedding after you graduate. A year has passed very quickly. So, Sister-in-law has thought of a style for the gown?”
"Annoying, you just like to bully me.”
"How dare I bully sister-in-law? My brother will kill me. Let's go find Xiao Ya."
Lin Xiyan held Li Xinyou's arm and went to look for Xiao Ya. Strange, it was an equestrian lesson now, why was Jiang Xiaoya nowhere to be seen? They walked to the backyard of the school and heard someone crying. It turned out to be Jiang Xiaoya squatting in the corner and crying.
"Little Ya, what's wrong? Who bullied you?”Li Xinyou squatted down and wiped the tears off Jiang Xiaoya's face.
Was there a need to ask? It must be Du Jiawen. Lin Xiyan squatted down and suddenly realized that the back of Jiang Xiaoya's hand was red and swollen.
"Too much. How could Du Jiawen hurt you like this?”Lin Xiyan held Jiang Xiaoya's hand to check her injury.""No, if this continues, Xiao Ya will definitely be tortured to death by Du Jiawen.”
"Then what should we do? We can't watch Little Ya be tortured.”Li Xinyou said.
Lin Xiyan pulled Jiang Xiaoya up. Although Du Jiawen did not put Li Xinyou in his eyes, he still had his reservations. For Jiang Xiaoya, they could only acknowledge this friend in front of Du Jiawen.
"Youyou, if Du Jiawen comes looking for trouble with us in the future, are you afraid?”
"I'm not afraid."
"Are you looking for Du Jiawen to reason with? No, Du Jiawen won't let you off in the future." You're my only friends, I can't harm you.”Jiang Xiaoya didn't want Lin Xiyan and Li Xinyou to get into trouble because of her.
"Little Ya, we're not afraid. If we let Du Jiawen bully us now, we won't be friends. Let's go find her." Li Xinyou pulled Jiang Xiaoya and left.
On the horse track, Du Jiawen was proudly showing off his riding skills. Apart from school, her father had also spent a lot of money to hire a Western coach to teach her riding.
"Du Jiawen, come down." Li Xinyou angrily rebuked Du Jiawen.
"Li Xinyou, you're bold enough to order me around.”
"What's there to be afraid of? Why did you bully Xiao Ya? Now, I'm telling you, Xiao Ya is my friend. You're not allowed to bully her again.”
"Humph, Li Xinyou, how strong are you? You're still one person short of protecting others.”
"You…"
Lin Xiyan pulled Li Xinyou and said to Du Jiawen,""What do I have to do to make you let Xiao Ya go?”
"I was wondering who it was, but it turns out to be the daughter of a small merchant. Oh, wait, I heard that you're engaged to Li Xinyou's brother. However, today your future father-in-law is the chief of the shih. Tomorrow, with a slight movement of the wind, the chief of the shih might change.”Du Jiawen looked down on small merchants like the Lin family.
"Even if the chief is changed, the Li family has a clean background. " As for your Du family, to put it nicely, you're a martial arts sect, but you're actually just a gangster. Do you think it's better to call it 'sh * t' or 'thief's treasure'?”Lin Xiyan couldn't stand Du Jiawen's attitude of thinking that he was superior to others.
"You dare to say that our Du family is a den of thieves?”Du Jiawen whipped Lin Xiyan.
" Xiyan, be careful!" Jiang Xiaoya and Li Xinyou shouted at the same time.
Lin Xiyan caught the whip and pulled Du Jiawen off the horse.
"Lin Xiyan, if you dare to hit me, I'll tear your face apart.”Du Jiawen rushed towards Lin Xiyan but was stopped by two of his close friends.""Jiawen, you'll be expelled for fighting in school.”
If he was expelled from the school, no matter how good his family background was, his reputation would be ruined. He still wanted to marry into the Military Governor's Office. Du Jiawen calmed down." Lin Xiyan, didn't you want to stand up for Jiang Xiaoya?" I'll give you a chance. As long as you defeat me, Jiang Xiaoya will be yours from now on.”
"Alright, what do we compete in?"
"I can't compare to you in terms of homework. The whole school knows that you can't dance, so I won't take advantage of you. Let's compete in equestrian." Du Jiawen was very proud of himself. Who could beat him in equestrian?
Li Xinyou pulled Lin Xiyan over." Xiyan, Du Jiawen claimed to be second in equestrian. No one would dare to claim to be first. She was obviously bullying you."”
"Yes, Xiyan. Du Jiawen was very good at equestrian, and she had a foreign coach to teach her at home. I'll handle my own matters. Don't make things difficult for yourself because of me.”Jiang Xiaoya didn't want Lin Xiyan to offend Du Jiawen for her.
Du Jiawen's riding skills were indeed impressive, and he was no match for her. However, if he did not agree to her request, she would hurt Jiang Xiaoya even more in the future.
"How is it? Have you thought it through? If you're afraid, don't be a hero and stand up for others. Jiang Xiaoya, no one can help you. Hurry up and help me clean my riding boots."”Du Jiawen said contemptuously.
Jiang Xiaoya hated Du Jiawen to the core, but there was nothing she could do. She lowered her head and was about to walk towards Du Jiawen when Lin Xiyan pulled her back.
"Alright, I promise you. However, I will set the rules." Lin Xiyan had an idea.
"Sure. However, I want to increase the stakes. If you lose, not only will Jiang Xiaoya have to clean my shoes, but you will also have to be my follower. Otherwise, I will be your follower. How is it?" Du Jiawen was confident that Lin Xiyan would lose.
"No, Xiyan, don't promise her. She was insidious and cunning. No one knew what she was up to.”Lin Xiyan was kind after all, and Li Xinyou was worried that she would fall for Du Jiawen's trap.
"Youyou, I know what to do. Do you know the story of Sun Bin's horse racing?"
"I know. Xiyan, don't tell me you want to learn from Sun Bin.”
"That's right. That's why I said I'll set the rules."
Li Xinyou was relieved. "I promise you," Lin Xiyan said to Du Jiawen. The three of us against the three of you, best of three, whoever wins two rounds first wins.”
Du Jiawen agreed readily. Lin Xiyan, Li Xinyou, and Jiang Xiaoya discussed. Among the three of them, Lin Xiyan's riding skills were the worst, Jiang Xiaoya was in the middle, and Li Xinyou was the best. Therefore, Li Xinyou would naturally arrange for Lin Xiyan to fight Du Jiawen and the other two.
Lin Xiyan was the first to fight against Du Jiawen and lost. Du Jiawen was proud of himself, as if he could see Lin Xiyan becoming his follower in the future and being tortured by him.
In the end, Li Xinyou and Jiang Xiaoya won the last two rounds. Du Jiawen was so angry that he didn't care about his ladylike image and scolded his two close friends loudly.
"Alright, Du Jiawen, stop scolding. They had already tried their best. Losing the competition wasn't because our riding skills were better than yours, but because you were conceited and stupid.”Lin Xiyan said.
"Lin Xiyan, how dare you call me stupid? Go to hell." Du Jiawen swung his hand and was about to hit Lin Xiyan.
Lin Xiyan nimbly turned around and grabbed Du Jiawen's wrist with one hand, and placed the other under her armpit. She did a beautiful shoulder throw and pressed Du Jiawen to the ground,""Enough, Du Jiawen. Everyone was equal. No one was born to be bullied.”
Du Jiawen looked at Lin Xiyan in shock. Was this still the innocent and weak little white rabbit that he thought she was? Her eyes were still clean and innocent, but there was an additional intimidation.
