"It's late, what can I do for you, Miss Lin?"
Xu Lian didn't open the door and asked.
Lin Wan outside the door was quiet for a moment, "Nothing, I just want to talk to you alone."
There should be nothing wrong... Xu Lian immediately confirmed that the Lin Wan outside the door was not a demon or monster pretending to be her, because he was not familiar with Lin Wan, so what could happen to Lin Wan? Even if there was something, she didn't have to wait until night to talk to him, unless she was interested in him.
Xu Lian slowly opened the door and saw Lin Wan standing at the door. Her face was a little red, and she didn't dare to look him in the eye.
He deliberately glanced at the cabin where Lin Wan lived. The door was already open, and he was sure that it was Lin Wan.
"Miss Lin, come in."
Xu Lian moved aside to let Lin Wan in. He felt a little warm in his heart and had a premonition of what would happen next.
When Lin Wan came in, he closed the door and bolted it.
The atmosphere suddenly became charming.
Noticing the fiery look in his eyes, Lin Wan's face turned even redder. She gritted her teeth and mustered up her courage. "I have been living in the Lin residence for ten years, and I don't have a man to rely on or care for me. Grandpa Fu and my father and mother are getting anxious day by day. You are here as a guest, and everyone in the family likes you. Are you interested in me?"
"Yes."
Xu Lian followed his heart and gave a clear answer seriously without hesitation.
Hearing this, Lin Wan was delighted and finally breathed a sigh of relief, which meant that she was not being sentimental. She no longer avoided Xu Lian's gaze and looked into his eyes with a blushing face, "I also have feelings for you and am willing to be with you."
Who could stand this? Xu Lian was ready to be nice to her immediately, but he calmed down in an instant and felt that some things were better to be discussed openly.
"Lin Wan, I know that my background plays a big role, so you must not be nice to me because of this.

Ever since I was captured and thrown into the dungeon by Gu Yanming, Lin Chengyu has tried every means to rescue me. I have seen it all and kept it in mind. Just for this reason, I regard the Lin family as my friends.
If the Lin family needs my help with anything, I will do my best to help within my ability.
So, you don't need this at all.
I still ask you to think carefully, are you doing this because of my background or because of me as a person? If it is the former, you don’t have to do this; if it is the latter, then there is no problem. "
Lin Wan hesitated for a moment and said, "I admit that your identity and background do play a certain role. The Lin family is quite powerful in Pingyang County, but it is not yet as powerful as a wealthy family. If we can establish a stable and reliable network of contacts with them, it will be beneficial to the Lin family.
However, this is not the main reason. If you are someone I hate, I will not be friends with you no matter how prominent your background is. In the final analysis, I actually have feelings for you, so I made this decision. "
Xu Lian understood, "The conditions here are poor, I'm sorry to have to trouble you."
Lin Wan blushed and said "hmm".
Knowing that both of us are interested in each other, there is no need to say more.
This is the way the world is. No one knows what will happen in the next moment, and no one knows whether they can live until tomorrow. Everyone lives in the present, not in the so-called future.

It's late at night.
There may be monsters on board, or there may not be monsters on board.
At this moment, who has the time to care about it
Even if the most powerful demon or monster in the world comes, it will be ignored.
Name: Xu Lian
Level: Ming Jin Stage 1
Skills: Wind-breaking Sword Technique Volume 1
Props: None (one-star long sword, not worn)
Note: Lin Wan's favorability towards you is 70/100
The next day, Xu Lian saw the belated favorability notification and was very surprised. He really didn't expect that Lin Wan's favorability towards him was as high as 70/100.
Lin Wan tied up her long hair again, which she had let down for many years, to show that she was no longer a prostitute.
The two men left the cabin and came to the deck, fetched water to wash, and made a fire to cook breakfast.
Qin Liu came to the deck with dark circles under his eyes and yawning. When he saw Lin Wan with her long hair tied up high, he understood. When he looked at Xu Lian, he couldn't help feeling envious, but at the same time, a little disappointed.
He also understood that it was impossible for a lady like Lin Wan, the eldest daughter of a cultivation family, to be interested in a tomb robber like him. He made Lin Wan laugh by telling her an interesting story about tomb robbery yesterday, but this was already his limit. There was no need to think about anything else. Only someone with a high status and background like Xu Lian could be a good match for Lin Wan.
"I am so lucky now. I can taste Miss Lin's cooking skills."
Qin Liu walked over and started eating with Xu Lian without even bothering to wash up.
Lin Wan smiled sweetly, "The conditions here are very simple. I just heated up some dry food and roasted some dried meat. How can I say that I have any skills?"
The conditions are really simple... Xu Lian was very touched, "It's okay, when we get to the town, let Miss Lin show off her skills."
He originally wanted to call her Sister Lin or Sister Wan, but Lin Wan had told him that she didn't want too many people to know their relationship, so he had to call her Miss Lin, which was a more distant name.
Qin Liu was stunned for a moment and looked at him strangely, but he didn't say anything. It was none of his business anyway.
We are getting close to Green Bamboo Town.
Xu Lian climbed up the mast, looked around, found the location of Stone Town, and decided to get off the boat immediately.
There was no choice but for Lin Wan and Qin Liu to follow him and jump into the water.
Swimmed to the shore.
Head towards Stone Town.
Lin Wan was a little suspicious, "Isn't your home in Green Bamboo Town?"
Xu Lian said, "I also have a home in Stone Town."
Lin Wan understood and didn't ask any more questions. She was very clear about her position. Just like her mother Hua Rongjun said, there was no point in fighting for any status, and there was no need to put forward any conditions. It would be enough as long as Xu Lian remembered her kindness. Fighting is in order not to fight, and not fighting is in order to fight better.
After crossing two hills, you will reach Shitou Town.
Xu Lian didn't want to take Lin Wan and Qin Liu to Xiaomei's house, so he found a tea stall and asked the two to stay there. He went straight to Xiaomei's house.
When they arrived at Xiaomei's house, as expected, Xiaomei was extremely surprised. She rushed over, hugged Xu Lian, and cried with joy, "My husband came to see me."
"Yeah." Xu Lian felt a little distressed. He hadn't seen her for more than ten days.
Apart from Xiaomei, there are only three women at home. Xu Changhe went to work in the mine, doing the job of a supervisor, which is relatively easy and does not require Xu Lian's supervision or care.
The three women looked at the young couple with smiles.
"Go back to your own homes. I won't keep you for lunch."
"Go ahead."...
As someone who has been through this, of course I know what the couple is thinking. After a long separation, they are more like newlyweds, so they definitely don’t want to stay here.
After Xu Lian presented the gifts he brought, he did not wait until the evening. He rented a carriage, took Xiaomei's hand and left, returning to the courtyard he had bought.
The courtyard is very clean and you can tell it is swept regularly.
This made Xu Lian feel even more pity. Just imagine it, Xiaomei would clean the courtyard every day and look forward to his coming back to reunite with her every day. How unbearable the pain of missing her must be.
Xu Lian didn't say much at that moment and took Xiaomei into the inner room. There is no need to explain in detail.
