The group of four found a nearby restaurant, asked for a seat by the window on the second floor, sat down, and prepared to order.

Bai Zhi and Qin Shujin have light tastes, but Gu Yusheng is not spicy or happy. But the little girl was not in good health, so Rong Zhao naturally didn't dare to let her eat something too spicy. So the man glanced at Qin Shujin and then at Gu Yusheng. There was a bunch of extremely light dishes, and there was no chili powder to be seen.

Xiao Er answered and retreated.

Qin Shujin was a little embarrassed and didn't dare to look at Rong Zhao's fiery eyes, while Rong Zhao looked at Qin Shujin in a daze, leaving Bai Zhi who had no heart and lungs and Gu Yusheng, who was looking for an opportunity to break Bai Zhi, were thinking about how to start a new topic.

"Rock sugar gourd - sweet and crispy rock sugar gourd yo - not delicious and no money!"

Gu Yusheng's eyes lit up, there is.

Angelica's eyes also lit up, rock sugar gourd.

Bai Zhi is actually a northerner, and her personality is also bold in the north. But it's a girl, so Bai Zhi was also gentle when she was young, and she was not proficient in knives, guns, and sticks as soon as she came up, and she shouted and killed people who didn't think right. And her favorite thing to eat when she was gentle was this bite, a sweet and sour sugar gourd.

Winter in the north has always been cold, and people are eager to wrap themselves in balls and burn several charcoal braziers at home. Even the vendors selling sugar gourds are few, but the sugar gourds in winter are the most delicious, sweet and sour hawthorn, wrapped in a thin layer of sugar coating, frozen crispy in winter, delicious in one bite.

Angelica has not eaten sugar gourds for a long time.

So much so that she missed it a little just by hearing it, let alone the candy gourd vendor who was close in front of her, and she was about to drool.

Gu Yusheng happened to be sitting opposite Bai Zhi, and he didn't miss the excitement that flashed in her eyes, and hurriedly said, "Aunt Bai Bai." ”

Bai Zhi swallowed her saliva and turned her head: "What's the matter, little girl." ”

Gu Yusheng pointed to the vendors who were a little far away, and said to Bai Zhi: "Aunt Bai, I want to eat sugar gourds, can you accompany me to buy it, I'm afraid I won't be able to remember the way back." ”

Of course, Bai Zhi readily agreed, and didn't say whether she could remember the way, so she picked up Gu Yusheng and trotted all the way downstairs.

Gu Yusheng, who was held in Bai Zhi's arms, did not forget to turn around and give Rong Zhao a look, and Rong Zhao understood.

She said, Ah Zhao, behave well.

Regarding Gu Yusheng's thoughtfulness, Rong Zhao smiled helplessly, and turned his gaze back to Qin Shujin again.

I haven't seen her for half a month, she seems to be the same as before, there is no change, there is a faint alienation between her eyebrows and eyes, but she sits there and acts as her own white moonlight.

Rong Zhao found that he really didn't want to blame Qin Shujin, even if he was used in the end, he felt willing. It's stupid, but I can't restrain it.

Qin Shujin looked up at him: "Rong Zhao, do you have something to tell me?" ”

Although I don't blame her, I feel uncomfortable in my heart.

She was still very meticulous in her observations, but this kind of meticulousness also changed in Rong Zhao's eyes. She is so meticulous, why can't she guess whether the temptations he always says are true or false, why can't she find his flawed liking? It's just that I don't care, I don't want to accept it, I feel troublesome, so I can't see it.

Oh, that's pathetic!

"I have something to say." Rong Zhao took a sip of wine, took a deep breath, the wine was intimidating, didn't he just say something, "Shu Jin, you..."

Do you know when my identity began?

Have you never taken me to heart?

Do you know what I mean for you?

But when the words came to his lips, they became: "Do you have a favorite person?" ”

Qin Shujin was also a little stunned when asked: "Huh? Why are you asking me this all of a sudden? ”

Rong Zhao also felt that he was too cowardly, and what he wanted to ask was obviously not this. But when the words came out, he didn't want to take it back, but changed his question and continued: "Shu Jin, do you like Gu Yanhuo." ”

Qin Shujin lowered his head and half of his face flushed: "Yes... I like him. ”

"Can you tell me why?"

He eagerly wanted to know where he was inferior to him, if he used to say that his identity was different, he couldn't refute it, but now he is not as good as Gu Yanhuo, he is the second prince today, Feng Wumo's own son, if he is ambitious enough, maybe he will be able to sit on the position above 10,000 people in the future. I don't know how many times more noble than a little general of the Gu Mansion.

And he is much more handsome than Gu Yanhuo's ice cube face, better looking than him with a smile, more elegant than him, and more elegant than him, better than he can coax a little girl, how can he be here with Qin Shujin, just... Can't compare?

"Rong Zhao, I never told you. I am from Yancheng, and Yancheng was once occupied by the barbarian army. Under Rong Zhao's surprised look, Qin Shujin continued: "That was when I was six years old, and the battle between the Barbarian Army and the Gale Army reached Yancheng. However, the Gale Army was defeated one after another, and Yancheng became the stronghold of the Barbarian Army. And I was targeted by the barbarian army, and I was taken back to be a prostitute, and Daddy and Auntie came forward to stop me from taking me, but I was killed. I lived a life of disgrace for a year, and life was worse than death. ”

"Gu Yanhuo saved you?"

Qin Shujin nodded: "The appearance of the general, like a god, pulled me out of the dire situation. I am willing to repay this kindness by being a cow and a horse. But he said he didn't. Even now, for him, it's just something that Aunt Bai shoehorned into him. ”

Qin Shujin said excitedly: "Over the years, I have been trying to do everything in an orderly manner, hoping that he can feel that I am still useful." I've been looking up to this man, delusional that he will see me one day! This kind of love has been ingrained for too long. There's no way I don't like him, Rong Zhao, do you understand? ”

Of course he can understand, because he also has this kind of feelings for her, how can he not understand it.

Qin Shujin looked at Rong Zhao with some pleading: "Rong Zhao, I have never had a friend, you are the only one." Can you please don't abandon me. ”

She was afraid, afraid that Rong Zhao would also leave her, and from then on she was alone looking at Gu Yanhuo's back, Gu Ying felt sorry for herself.

Rong Zhao smiled bitterly: "Qin Shujin, do you know that your only friend, he doesn't want to be your friend, he likes you." ”

Qin Shujin froze there, as if he didn't expect Rong Zhao to say it so bluntly. After a long pause, he forced out a smile: "Rong Zhao, don't be joking, didn't you promise me before, you won't make this kind of joke again." ”

The two looked at each other, and Rong Zhao saw panic, helplessness, and rejection in Qin Shujin's eyes. Sure enough, she knew.

In the past few years of getting along, she has always been like this, she has nothing to do with Yanhuo, and she has something to look for Rong Zhao. She gave all the comfort to Gu Yanhuo, and what she left for him was gloom.

But.

When she was sad, she accompanied her until she was drunk, and the person who rolled in the mud was him Rongzhao.

When she was anxious, she ran around with her, and the person who was willing to lose face and beg someone to patronize the pharmacy was him Rong Zhao.

When she was sick and bedridden, she would rather sneak out and be beaten and scolded afterwards, but the person who was reluctant to take care of her day and night by the bedside was him Rong Zhao.

Unwilling, too unwilling, just because Gu Yanhuo appeared one step ahead of him, he smoothly captured the hearts of the people in front of him. He was really unwilling.

However, no matter how unwilling he is, it has become a foregone conclusion.

Rong Zhao smiled: "If you think it's a joke, take it as a joke." ”

"Rong Zhao..."

"There's one more thing I want to ask you, and I want you to tell me personally." Rong Zhao's face was a little serious, and he asked, "Shu Jin, did you already know my identity?" ”

Qin Shujin nodded, and hurriedly waved his hand again: "It's not too early." Rong Zhao, you believe me, I only found out later. I didn't approach you with a purpose, really! ”

I'm sorry, she lied, she's scared.

Rong Zhaozai carefully tightened Qin Shujin's every subtle expression under his eyes, and naturally did not miss her panic. He understood...

It's just that...

Rong Zhao got up and rubbed Qin Shujin's head as he had done countless times: "Shu Jin, if you say it, I will believe it." ”

Even if I knew, it was fake.

Qin Shujin held back the tears that were about to burst out, and hummed lightly.

It happened that Xiao Er began to serve the food, and the two sat back in their original positions. When Gu Yusheng and Bai Zhi came back, both of them had returned to normal.

No one would have known that on this day, the cheerful Rong Zhao had already died in Qin Shujin's lies and would never wake up again.
