"Yue Wan, are you okay?" Seeing Lin Wanwan remain silent for a long time and suddenly closing her eyes with a sad expression, Shi Manzi's heart tightened and she couldn't help but ask with concern.
Lin Wanwan's eyebrows trembled slightly, as if there was an unspeakable bitterness hidden in it, surging in a corner like an undercurrent.
Perhaps because she was afraid that Shi Manzi would be worried, or perhaps because she was afraid that she would see some clues, Lin Wanwan took a breath, tried her best to control the waves in her voice, shook her head and said: "I'm fine, I just thought of some old things, and there was something in my heart. It’s just emotion.”
While speaking, Lin Wanwan still stood with her eyes closed, as if she was immersed in some emotion and could not calm down.
Now, when she pieced together all the fragmentary clues in her memory, she vaguely realized one thing - it seemed that Su Jin would suffer from old illnesses when her mood fluctuated greatly.
Yesterday, before she left Zhuangzi, she had a dispute with Su Jin just like that day at Huxin Island. At that time, she was resentful of him because of Jiang Huailang's incident, and then, driven by paranoia, she spoke indiscriminately. , said a lot of things that were against his will.
She still clearly remembered that the expression in Su Jin's eyes at that time was unpredictable, complex and subtle, from burning to disappointment, then from disappointment to sadness, until finally falling silent again.
No wonder Su Jin suddenly turned his back to him after she uttered those hurtful words. It turned out that at that time, he had already shown signs of an old illness. He was sick, and the sarcastic words he said later were just to force him away.
At that time, how sad and painful he must have been in his heart...
Thinking of this, a sour feeling that was so strong that she couldn't suppress it arose from Lin Wanwan's heart, stirring in her chest and gradually moistening her eyes.
She finally understood why Ziyu was so emotional that she almost lost her words last night. The words she wanted to say but didn't dare to say out loud should be referring to the recurrence of Su Jin's old illness. Today, when Su Jin went to rescue Luo Huaizhou, he probably still had not suppressed his old illness. Otherwise, with his skill, how could he be so easily injured by the bandits.
However, it was not Luo Huaizhou who forced Su Jin to hold on to his sick body to save people, but her.
A drop of clear tear slipped silently from the corner of Lin Wanwan's eye, and soon condensed into a bead. Under the light and shadow, it was like a crystal clear dewdrop, running hotly across her cool skin.
If it was just to rescue Luo Huaizhou and protect Luo Huaizhou, Su Jin could have asked Zi Shu, Zi Heng and the others to take the people from Tianshu Pavilion to pretend to be knights in the rivers and lakes, and clear out the cottages in the name of eliminating harm to the people. With Tianshu The power of the pavilion is more than enough to destroy a copycat.
But Su Jin did not choose to do this.
He chose to conceal his identity and took only a few people from Tianshu Pavilion with him. He personally took the risk and broke into the stronghold together with the guards from Luohuai Zhou Mansion. All of this was because he was in the palace.
Su Jin was so good at discerning people's hearts, and she must have figured out that the Queen Mother would pin the charge of kidnapping Luo Huaizhou on herself and him. If she didn't rescue Luo Huaizhou herself, it might be difficult to dispel the Queen Mother's suspicion, and it would be impossible to prove that he was related to Luo Huaizhou. He is innocent, but the Queen Mother is very likely to give in to the attack in a desperate situation.
From the moment the Queen Mother summoned her to the palace, Su Jin had already seen that the Queen Mother had bad intentions, but she entered the palace regardless of his intentions before he knew it. When the situation could not be reversed, he had no choice but to let Ziyu sneak into the palace to look for her, not only to deliver things, but also to ensure that she was safe. At the same time, he also told himself that no matter what she wanted to do, he trusted her and let her go. Do it without any worries.
On this road, even though he knew that it was full of dangers and even if there were some uncontrollable variables, Su Jin still chose to accompany him on this journey, just like when she first came to Nanling. No matter how wantonly he acted, he would do it in his own way. Guard her, accompany her silently...
Lin Wanwan recalled that clear and moonlit night many years ago when he buried his head in her neck and said word by word: "Lin Wanwan, no matter what you do in the future, as long as it is related to your own safety, Tell me in time, don’t put yourself in danger alone, and don’t wrong yourself. I won’t stop you, but you must tell me. Remember, no matter what you do, I will stand behind you, No matter when or where, I will be your retreat."
Before entering the palace, she had shamelessly said that she wanted to make things clear with him, but how could she make things clear with him? I'm afraid she can't repay what she owes him...
Lin Wanwan tried her best to swallow down the sourness in her heart, but her heart seemed to be tightly grasped and torn apart. The feeling was indescribable and impossible to express. It was as if every bone, every inch of skin, and every drop of blood in her body was being slowly crushed by a huge stone wheel, causing her unbearable pain.
She originally thought that she could pretend not to know anything and choose to turn a blind eye, so that she would not be happy or disappointed again. Let everything in the world pass by, and you will have no worries or fears from now on.
However, she was wrong.
Once you meet some people, no matter how time passes, they will occupy the top position in your heart and rise and fall with the years. From then on, no matter morning or evening, enemy or friend, hate or love, the outline traced by fingertips will always be his appearance.
The pear blossoms are dreaming, thousands of clouds are falling; time knows the taste, and the years are fragrant.
Even if some memories are crushed into dust in the long river of time, they will eventually be carefully picked up, used as a dish with longing, warm and fragrant, and describe the long love with the years.
Claiming to be in a state of indestructibility, suddenly, it was like waking up from a big dream.
With a "pop" sound, the heartstring deep in her memory suddenly broke. Lin Wanwan suddenly felt that something broke through the shackles one after another and came out from the bottom of her heart. In the blink of an eye, it had grown into a towering tree, no matter the wind and rain. No matter how hard it is, I won’t flinch even a little bit.
After a moment, the turbulent waves in Lin Wanwan's heart finally calmed down. When she opened her eyes again, the undercurrent in her eyes had faded away, and they were clear.
Shi Manzi saw that one of her friends was seriously injured, one was depressed, and one was silent. But she could do nothing but accompany her silently. She couldn't even say a word of comfort, and she felt deeply at a loss. Feelings took over her heart.
She thought about it for a long time, and was about to say something when she saw Lin Wanwan open her eyes suddenly, then lightly pressed the table beside Luo Huaizhou with her index finger, and asked slightly anxiously: "He ,where?"
Luo Huaizhou slowly raised his head, his eyes seeming to have just returned from a distant place. He was a little dazed. It took him a while to realize what Lin Wanwan was asking.
Immediately, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and he hit his forehead hard with annoyance and regret. A look of anxiety appeared on his face, and he hurriedly said: "Xiao Yue Wan will leave the palace soon. Jing Qian is still waiting outside the palace gate." you!"
While speaking, Luo Huaizhou took out a token from his waist and stuffed it into Lin Wanwan's hand, "Put this token away. With it, no one in this palace will dare to stop you. Go quickly." Bar!"
Lin Wanwan nodded slightly, then patted Luo Huaizhou on the shoulder, and said what she wanted to say but didn't say before: "Huaizhou, this matter has nothing to do with you, you don't have to feel guilty about this. All the people in the world Things are inherently full of endless variables, and everyone has their own choices and responsibilities, which cannot be changed because of one person or thing."
After that, under Luo Huaizhou's slightly confused eyes, Lin Wanwan expressed her sincere thanks to Shi Manzi: "I won't say more. Thank you very much for what happened today!"
Seeing that Lin Wanwan and Luo Huaizhou had recovered their spirits, Shi Manzi's sorrow disappeared. A soft smile appeared at the corner of her lips, she nodded towards Lin Wanwan and said, "There is no need to say anything between friends. Go quickly. Don't keep Mr. Su waiting for too long."
After Lin Wanwan said goodbye to the two of them, she rushed out like a gust of wind and quickly disappeared from their sight.
"The Nanling Palace dungeon has ended, what is the next dungeon to be opened?
(There will be no updates for the time being during the National Day. We will discuss it after the holiday~)"
