Liu Zhiheng happily returned to the Liu family's courtyard with a basket of charcoal in his arms, and even locked the courtyard door.
She had to be careful in the future, otherwise if someone saw her being so close to Xuelang, she was not worried about her reputation or something, but she was afraid that things would get entangled between her and Xie Tinglan.
Liu Zhiheng returned to the house happily. Unexpectedly, he pushed the door open and saw Duan Wu Jiu sitting alone by the window.
Duan Wu Jiu was looking down at the void in front of him. He didn't know what he was thinking. His whole body seemed to be enveloped in sadness, as if he was about to break at any moment.
His eye circles were also slightly red, and he was about to cry. Who could look at that look without feeling distressed?
"Xuelang, what's wrong with you?" Liu Zhiheng was anxious.
Liu Zhiheng put the charcoal on the ground, hurriedly walked to Duan Wujiu, squatted in front of him, raised his head and looked at him worriedly.
Duan Wu Jiu looked at Liu Zhiheng and reluctantly curled his lips, wanting to smile, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
"Are Heng finished talking to him?"
"It's over!" Liu Zhiheng said in a panic: "I'm sorry, I kept you waiting for a long time."
Duan Wu Jiu curled his lips, smiled to himself, and a tear fell in time, as if a star fell from the sky, hitting the back of Liu Zhiheng's hand with a snap.
Duan Wu Jiu said in a trembling voice: "He is your fiancé. Once he comes, Ah Heng will no longer want me, right?"
She was wronged!
Liu Zhiheng didn't expect that Duan Wujiu would have already thought about so much after he had been gone for such a while.
"How could that be? How could you think so?"
"But he only said one word, and Ah Heng immediately left me and followed him, didn't he?"
Liu Zhiheng was speechless and choked. She seemed to be a bit scumbag just now.
"Even if I pulled A Heng's clothes and begged A Heng to stay, A Heng still left, right?"
Looking at Duan Wu Jiu's red eyes and his knuckles turning white, Liu Zhiheng felt: I really deserve to die!
Liu Zhiheng just wanted to quickly make the broken look on Duan Wujiu's face disappear. She recalled how the scumbags on the Internet coaxed people, and immediately poured out her good words as if they were free of charge.
"It's not like he can tell me to leave with just one word. I left with him because of the difference between closeness and distance. I must be more polite to outsiders. I just treat you as one of my own, so I accidentally ignored Xuelang's feelings. It is my fault."
"It's not that I care about him, it's just that I can't help it now. I'm still counting on him to break off the engagement with me, so don't I have to coax him a little more? When the engagement is broken up, don't you think I'll even look at him?"
"I like Xuelang the most. Xuelang is good-looking, fair, tall, has long legs, and has a soft mouth. He is the best in everything, and no one else can compare with him!"
"I only like Xue Lang, I don't like anyone else!"
Liu Zhiheng's bombardment of money-free love words finally made Duan Wujiu's expression soften a little. He stretched out his hand and held the corner of Liu Zhiheng's clothes again.
"Ah Heng's words are true."
"I could have sworn it!"
Liu Zhiheng raised his hand to swear, but Duan Wujiu pushed it back.
He grabbed the corner of Liu Zhiheng's clothes and said sadly: "There is no need for Ah Heng to swear, as long as Ah Heng doesn't ruthlessly take the corner of my clothes away from me like he did just now..."
"No, no, never again!"
"Then Ah Heng promise me that no matter what happens, you will never abandon me, okay?"
Duan Wujiu's worried look made Liu Zhiheng dumbfounded.
"Why do you think so? When did I say I was going to abandon you? You feel like you are going to be abandoned just by saying a few words to others. You are too petty."
"But just now Ah Heng told that person outside that I will be leaving soon. Doesn't this mean that Ah Heng wants to drive me away?"
"Can you hear this?" Liu Zhiheng asked in surprise.
Duan Wujiu smiled bitterly, looking aggrieved.
"I know martial arts, so my hearing is better than ordinary people. You were outside the yard, not far apart, and you heard it. I really wish I couldn't hear it, so I wouldn't be so sad..."
Liu Zhiheng was helpless, she did say this, and she knew that Duan Wu Jiu would indeed leave in a few months.
He would wake up on a day when the spring breeze turned into snow, and suddenly forget the memories of the previous few months.
Then he will recall his life again, remember his identity as King Yan, and finally leave this small village without any regrets.
Duan Wujiu's heart sank when he saw that Liu Zhiheng, who had been coaxing him all the time, was suddenly silent.
Could it be that Ah Heng really wants to drive him away?
Liu Zhiheng lowered his eyes and said truthfully: "I said those words to send him away. I promise you, as long as you don't want to leave, I won't drive you away, okay?"
Hearing what Liu Zhiheng said, Duan Wujiu breathed a sigh of relief and only thought whether he had misjudged the sad look on Liu Zhiheng's face just now.
"I won't leave, I want to be with Ah Heng for the rest of my life." Duan Wujiu stopped when he saw that he was good, and gently pulled Liu Zhiheng's clothes.
Seeing Duan Wujiu's hand tightly tugging at the corner of his clothes, Liu Zhiheng's heart suddenly softened again.
Xue Lang is really a very good person. Ever since he learned about her special physique, he didn't even dare to touch her. He only grabbed the corner of her clothes and treated her with such respect and caution.
Liu Zhiheng thought that even if it was only for a few months, he would be happy to be able to stay with him.
"Then don't be sad, okay?" Liu Zhiheng coaxed him again.
Duan Wujiu nodded and laughed again, his laughter turning into snow.
"Then when can Ah Heng terminate the engagement with him?"
"Master Xie is a scholar, and he cares most about his reputation. It was an accident that he and I got engaged. We are not happy with each other. It's just that it's not easy to break off the engagement just after we made the engagement, so we delayed it until he finished the provincial examination. So he broke off the engagement.
Is it?
Doesn't he like Ah Heng at all?
Why doesn't he believe it?
But looking at Ah Heng's performance, he really didn't like Mr. Xie at all, so Duan Wu Jiu felt that there was no need to expose him.
From this point of view, as long as that Xie Xiucai didn't seek death, he could spare his life for the time being.
"How long until the provincial examination?"
"Next autumn will be less than a year away."
"Then I have to follow Ah Heng for a year without any name or status..."
Liu Zhiheng burst out laughing, how could this Xue Lang look like a little wife?
"Okay, don't be sad. There's nothing to do during the day anyway, and the snow has stopped. I'll find my father's clothes for going up to the mountain later, and I'll take you hunting in the mountain. Let's hunt some chickens. Rabbit, let’s eat pot together tonight, okay?”
Duan Wu Jiu smiled relaxedly and nodded.
Liu Zhiheng let out a long sigh of relief. It was not easy, but he was able to coax him.
