Zhao Qingpeng saw that Zhao Liniang didn't speak, thinking that she was moved by what he said, he lowered his body full of hope, held Zhao Liniang's shoulders, shook it vigorously, as if to shake her awake, stared at her eyes, and said word by word: "Liniang, didn't you say that you like it here, I can accompany you, stay in this valley, and take care of you for a lifetime!"

Zhao Liniang's eyes were red, and she looked at Zhao Qingpeng in a daze, only to feel dizzy by Zhao Qingpeng, her chest was swollen badly, her throat was tight, and she couldn't speak, so she could only shake her head desperately, trying to calm Zhao Qingpeng down.

Zhao Qingpeng didn't stop, the hand holding Zhao Liniang's shoulder was held tighter, his eyes flashed with tears, and he said with a crying voice: "If you don't like life in the mountains, I'll take you away and fly high, we can go anywhere you want, even if it's the end of the earth, I'll take you there, as long as you are willing to ......"

Zhao Liniang's tears flowed, and she finally spit out a word, her voice was calm and distant, as if everything Zhao Qingpeng said had nothing to do with her, and said lightly: "Qingpeng, please let go of me." ”

Zhao Qingpeng was stunned for a moment, slowly let go of his hand, and said in a panic: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm too excited, did it hurt you?"

Zhao Liniang took a deep breath, looked directly into Zhao Qingpeng's eyes, her eyes were cold and calm, she shook her head, and said word by word: "You don't have to apologize, it's me who should say I'm sorry, I shouldn't let you keep having illusions, I thought I made it clear enough." We can be sisters and brothers, friends, friends of life and death. However, we will never be lovers, and you must not have a relationship with me. ”

"Why?" Zhao Qingpeng muttered, but his eyes stared at Zhao Liniang's eyes for a moment, expecting to see a glimmer of hope in those beautiful eyes.

Zhao Qingpeng's painful eyes made Zhao Liniang breathless. However, she couldn't be soft-hearted, and she continued to say word by word: "Because, my heart can no longer tolerate other men." ”

The wind in the valley was warm and gentle, but through Zhao Qingpeng's body, it seemed to take away the pillar of his life, as if it had drained the last trace of strength in his body. I saw him slump his shoulders in despair, close his eyes, face the wind, and calm himself down.

Zhao Liniang quietly looked at Zhao Qingpeng, who was extremely painful, and her heart was as agitated as turning over the river and the sea, but there could be no revelation on her face, otherwise her previous efforts would be wasted.

After a long time, Zhao Qingpeng finally took a deep breath, looked at Zhao Liniang calmly, and still asked without giving up: "If there is no Ruichen, no Wan'er, will you still choose to return to Lin Zhihuai's side?"

Zhao Liniang lowered her eyes, hesitated, and soon looked up at Zhao Qingpeng again, nodded firmly, and said, "Yes." ”

Zhao Qingpeng still didn't give up, looked at Zhao Liniang sadly, and continued to ask: "If Lin Zhihuai disappoints you again and makes you sad after you go back, will you leave him? Will you choose me?"

Zhao Liniang frowned, nodded, shook her head again, and said, "If he disappoints me, I will leave him again, and I can never forgive him again." However, I will never choose you, because you will always be my brother. ”

"I'm not!" Zhao Qingpeng's hysterical roar echoed in the valley for a long time, but Zhao Liniang was still indifferent.

Zhao Liniang finally took a deep look at Zhao Qingpeng, turned around and walked towards the ginkgo tree, she used the slide alone for the first time, through the cave, and walked towards the mountain.

On the way back, Zhao Liniang's ears kept buzzing, and her heart was in a mess. She was worried about whether she was too decisive, whether she was too sad for Zhao Qingpeng, and whether she should be more tactful......

However, the answer is yes, no matter what, she can't give Zhao Qingpeng any hope anymore.

Zhao Liniang went straight to Lin Wan's room, Lin Wan was still asleep, and there was a faint smile on her face. Looking at Lin Wan's sleeping face, Zhao Liniang's heart gradually calmed down, she felt that she had done nothing wrong, since she had already decided, she should not drag the mud and water anymore.

If Zhao Qingpeng is allowed to continue to wait for himself, it will be too unfair for Zhao Qingpeng. In fact, she had a trace of hesitation just now, Zhao Qingpeng said, if Lin Zhihuai disappointed her again and made her sad, what would she do?

Zhao Liniang didn't know what she would do. Maybe she will completely die, maybe she will change her mind and choose another man. However, will she really give up on Lin Zhihuai? Even if Lin Zhihuai once wanted her life, she can forgive her, what else can make her completely die?

Perhaps, if a woman really falls in love with a man, she will never go back. Even if you know that there is a dead end in front of you, even if you hit your head and bleed, you can only go all the way to the dark, and you will win or lose.

The sky had already darkened, and Qingtong came to invite Zhao Liniang to dinner. Zhao Liniang nodded slightly, slowly followed behind Qingtong, and walked towards the dining room. But he was thinking in his heart, if he saw Zhao Qingpeng, would he still be angry with himself?

However, in the dining room, Yao Zhongzhao, Zhu Wuchang, Xiaobai, Xiaohei, Dark, Wang Qi, Qingtong, and even the gale that went out had already returned, but they didn't see Zhao Qingpeng.

Zhao Liniang panicked in her heart, and blurted out, "What about Qingpeng, why didn't he come to dinner?"

Gale hurriedly stood up and reported to Zhao Liniangyu: "Mrs. Qiyu, Commander Zhao went back to the capital, he said that his injuries had healed, and he should have gone back a long time ago, but because he was worried about you, he stayed." Now that the young lady is here, with the young lady with you, he can leave with peace of mind. Commander Zhao told you not to worry about him, he himself will be careful all the way. ”

Wang Qi saw that Zhao Liniang seemed to be a little worried, and hurriedly persuaded him: "Madam, don't worry, I have asked the guards to send some food to Commander Zhao, which is enough for Commander Zhao to eat on the road for three days." ”

Gale nodded, and said: "Yes, madam, Commander Zhao is riding a horse, and he will be able to return to Beijing in three days, I have already notified the brothers of the Shadowless Pavilion to pick up along the road, and we can also receive the news at any time, and it will be fine." ”

Zhao Liniang smiled slightly, nodded, and said gratefully: "You guys are so thoughtful, thank you." After speaking, he walked to the table and sat down, smiled and said, "Don't stand, sit down and eat." ”

Gale and Wang Qi glanced at each other, didn't say anything, and sat down to eat honestly.

Everyone was wondering why Zhao Qingpeng left suddenly? Before he could explain it clearly to Zhao Liniang, he left in such a hurry.

Everyone has doubts in their hearts, but no one will ask, and they all tacitly do not mention this matter again.
