It was February when we returned to China.
Many canals in the territory were frozen, and the goods brought back from the ship were distributed overland to various partners, and some were sold to Baijia's stores.
The warehouses within the Bai family have been busy for several days, and Bai Kui, the head of the family, has not been idle.
It was almost night when I came back from the warehouse that day, and lights were on all around.
The lobby of the inn where I stayed was very lively with diners drinking, eating and chatting loudly.
Bai Kui saw the little girl sitting quietly at the dining table in the corner of the lobby. When she saw him, the little girl immediately smiled and waved to him.
There was a table of untouched dishes in front of her, obviously waiting for him to come back and have a meal together.
Bai Kui paused for a moment, strode towards that direction, sat down and picked up his chopsticks to eat.
"Why didn't you leave?" He thought that when he returned to Middle-earth, she would leave soon. Maybe one day when he went out and came back, she would be gone.
Feng Lin smiled and said, "Even if I want to leave, I have to tell you in person before I leave. During this time, I have opened up a lot of horizons with Brother Bai. Everything I eat and drink along the way is yours. I have received a lot of care from you. Feng Lin sincerely treats everyone Keep it in mind.”
"There's no need to remember favors, just keep accounts." Bai Kui smiled lightly.
After that day on the boat, something subtle developed between them, and there was always an unspeakable discomfort when they faced each other.
It was unprecedented for them to smile and talk to each other like this.
He knew she was saying goodbye.
"Brother Bai, please help me calculate those trivial debts. Come back to Xiling to collect your debts from me." Feng Lin pursed his lips, jokingly, and stared at the man opposite him who was bowing his head and eating a big meal, "Will you come?"
Bai Kui put down his chopsticks, swallowed what was in his mouth, and raised his eyes, "Do you want me to come?"
Their eyes met, and no one continued to speak for a while.
My eyes were tangled in mid-air, and my heart was being pulled tightly by something. It didn't hurt, but it made me feel uncomfortable.
"I'm going back to Xiling early tomorrow morning. Brother Bai is busy during the day, so I won't say goodbye to him." After returning to the guest room upstairs and closing the door, Feng Lin said with peach blossom eyes.
Bai Kui said yes.
The two of them slept next to each other and entered their own rooms one after the other. After closing the door, they both stood quietly behind the door for a long time.
Within a few months, Mobei King Wen Renjing became the regent of Beixiang, assisting the young emperor in handling government affairs and beginning to take control of the political power.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he not only became the dominant one in the court, but also secured the first seat in Mobei Palace. Even his own father had to bow his head in front of him and was no longer shackles.
The price paid was to be granted the title of concubine in the palace.
With the love that Empress Xiling had for her daughter, she would never consider Wen Renjing as the best son-in-law candidate.
When Feng Lin returns to Xiling, he will no longer have the trouble of being forced into a marriage.
This journey is just a journey, two people who are completely different from each other are accompanied by each other for a short time.
When the journey is over, say goodbye, and everyone should return to their own world.
A royal lady and a reckless businessman will never meet again from now on.
Spring is still cold in February.
In the middle of the night, it started to rain outside the window.
Separated by a wall, the two of them could not sleep alone at night, listening to the sound of raindrops.
The next day, Bai Kui went to see Feng Lin off.
There was a continuous drizzle, and the ground was soaked into a dark color by the rain. The pier looked dirty and messy with people coming and going.
The woman was wearing a purple dress and stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the man from Angzang who was standing on the pier with his hands behind his back.
The rain is thin, falling gently on the hair and face, intruding a little bit of coolness.
There was an undercurrent surging in one person's eyes, and the other person's vision gradually became hazy.
The sailing horn sounded, and the passenger ship slowly left the shore.
The distance between the two gradually widened.
Bai Kui didn't move, with a faint smile on his lips. There shouldn't have been any intersection between them, but now they are just back on track.
Life is like this, no matter how you live, there will always be regrets.
He closed his eyes and was about to turn around and leave when a woman's voice suddenly floated into his ears, tugging at his heartstrings, "Bai Kui!"
He looked back and saw a beautiful purple butterfly leaping from the bow of the ship and flying in front of him, its eyes full of joy, "I am the third princess of Xiling. If you touch me, you may be hunted down by my father, the queen and my queen, and you may be taught a lesson by my sister." , From now on, you can’t do anything wrong, you can’t have other women, you can’t be sorry to me - do you have the guts to want me?"
Bai Kui stared at the beautiful face in front of him, the smile on his lips gradually widened, and he stretched out his hand towards her, "If you dare to come back, I dare to take it."
The woman put the catkins into his generous palm without hesitation.
Hands clasped together, unwavering.
