On a tall flower tree near the river on the island in the center of the lake, Zi Shu looked at Zi Heng who was holding his arm in confusion, frowned and asked, "What are you holding me for?!"
Zi Heng slowly let go of his hand and said quietly: "If I hadn't caught you, this stupid young man, my master would have sent you to a secret prison tomorrow."
"Why?! Master just had an old illness, can't you see?" Zi Shu was even more puzzled. Suddenly something occurred to him and he asked, "Shouldn't you be delivering medicine to Master? Why are you still standing here? ah?!"
Zi Heng glanced at him lightly and responded: "When the master left today, I had already given the medicine to him."
Zi Shu was stunned and asked curiously: "You mean... the master has medicine on his body? Then why does he..."
Zi Heng glanced at him lightly, as if he were looking at an idiot, shook his head and jumped away.
Zi Shu frowned and thought for a long time before finally showing an expression of realization, and his face lit up, "It turns out that the master did it on purpose - um -"
Before he could finish his words, Zi Heng, who turned back halfway, covered his mouth. He glared at Zi Shu and whispered: "If you don't want to go to the secret cell, don't scream. Master can hear you. The matter is not finished yet. Stop dawdling."
Zi Shu pursed his lips and nodded with deep understanding, then followed Zi Heng in leaping several feet away easily, disappearing into the vast night.
…
Lin Wanwan gently wiped away the blood stains under his lips and stared down at the man lying on her lap, her eyes complex and subtle, just like the entanglement and confusion in her heart. This man is obviously very thoughtful and calculating. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is ruthless, ruthless and unfeeling. She should hate him and loathe him, but his actions didn't seem so heartless and senseless.
Just like that time in Miexueyi Pavilion, he knew clearly that it was a trap set by her, but he was still willing to risk the destruction of his years of hard work and jumped in without hesitation.
It was also like that year, when it rained heavily in the middle of the night, and she wanted to sneak out to eat the sweet-scented osmanthus cake from Hefeng Tower. He scolded her with a straight face for being too noisy, and warned her not to go out, otherwise he would report her to her uncle. Even Rong Sui, who originally planned to accompany her out, had to give up. Unexpectedly, not long after, she heard someone knocking on her window. When she opened the window and took a look, she saw the man standing outside the window with water dripping from his body and smiling stupidly at her. Then he took out a bag from his clothes. He gave her a sweet-scented osmanthus cake that was not soaked by the rain at all, and said with a smile: "Did you see, if you go out, you will get wet like me."
So, Su Jin, which one is the real you?
The man in front of him has black hair and icy muscles, feathery eyebrows and straight nose, long eyelashes and thin lips. He is obviously still such a monster, but he seems to be different from before. Now under his lazy and playful eyes, there is a deep and deep look. It feels as if it has gone through many vicissitudes of time, and there is a sense of loneliness that is incomprehensible.
And he was still as good at making her angry as before, and every time he got angry, he would take the initiative to come to her, always finding a way to make her unable to get angry, which made her feel quite helpless.
She shook her head angrily and amusedly, and finally concentrated all her emotions on her dazzling eyebrows, turning into a wisp of clear smile that faintly bloomed, just like the flowers blooming quietly on the branches. Elegant and fragrant.
When Su Jingqian opened his eyes, he found her smiling and looking into the distance in a daze. He couldn't help but curiously asked: "What are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking..." Lin Wanwan replied two words unconsciously, and suddenly lowered her eyes to look at the person on her lap. She saw that he was staring at her with his seductive peach blossom eyes, half-smiling, and she was stunned. He was stunned for a moment, then frowned and asked, "Are you... awake?"
"Yeah." After secretly connecting her two unrelated words, his smile instantly widened and he stretched lazily.
Lin Wanwan didn't know what he was happy about, but seeing him still leaning on her numb legs, she became angry and gritted her teeth: "Then why don't you get up quickly, my legs are numb !”
Su Jingqian raised his eyebrows. He was still smiling just now, but why did he look so angry when he woke up? He was not hesitant. Before she could get angry, he immediately stood up and sat down next to her.
Under Lin Wanwan's surprised gaze, he picked up a jar of osmanthus wine and peeled off the cork, took a sip, and then smiled: "Don't look at me with that look. When I was fooling around with you before, were your clothes clean? ?”
Thinking back to the time when they first met, he seemed to be a little old-fashioned. Later, when he followed her and Rong Sui, didn't he do all the things he was unwilling to do before? Climbing trees to pick fruits, going down the river to catch crabs, lying on the grass, sitting on the roof... Looking at his current appearance, Lin Wanwan couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Her eyebrows were curved, and her innocent smile looked like the bright moon in the early days. Su Jingqian felt soft in his heart when he saw it, and the corners of his lips unconsciously raised slightly with her.
Suddenly, he paused, and his long eyelashes trembled slightly, as if he was thinking about something. After a moment, he whispered softly: "If it's not me, it will be someone else. You and I both know that Nanling Kingdom is Sooner or later."
Lin Wanwan's eyes stagnated slightly, and her smile gradually dimmed, with a sad look in her eyes. "Perhaps he would rather be someone else, anyone, but the last thing he wants to see is you."
Su Jingqian glanced into the distance, his expression half-dark under the moonlight, "Will others keep him? At least I can save his life and protect him from worries throughout his life."
He turned to look at her, with a faint bitter smile on his lips, and an imperceptible desolation between his brows, "As long as a person is alive, there is hope, isn't it?"
Lin Wanwan frowned. She knew that what Su Jingqian said was true. If someone from another country destroyed Nanling, Prince Lu would never stay. What awaited Luo Huaizhou would be death, and Only Su Jingqian would find a way to keep him.
She lowered her eyes, sighed deeply, and reminded him softly, "Even if he is alive, you will probably not be the same as before. He will hate you to the core."
Su Jingqian closed his eyes, and a touch of sadness flashed across his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, those eyes seemed to have concealed all the obsession and obsession with love, hate, anger, and obsession, leaving only a hint of indifference to the prosperous years. That kind of calmness is like a pool of frozen lake water. No matter how much the wind blows, it will never make any ripples.
"Then hate it." He smiled faintly at her, seeming to be saying to her, and to Luo Huaizhou, more like saying to himself, "The world is impermanent. Since we can't change the direction of fate, we must always Try to widen the road under your feet, and don't limit yourself to that inch of the world. Perhaps, if you overcome the thorns on the road ahead, you will find a long and bright future."
