(1) No coincidence, no book

In other words, this Yin chased the wind and rushed home non-stop.

At this time, Rufeng has just prepared the meal.

"Big brother, you're back, it's just right that you're ready for dinner." As soon as Rufeng saw Chasing Wind, he said happily.

"Is Ling Feng back?" Yin Chaifeng asked anxiously.

"Second brother is reading in the study," Rufeng said, shouting to the back room, "Second brother, the eldest brother is back, hurry up and come out to eat." ”

Yin Lingfeng quickly walked out and said, "Big brother is back." ”

"Ling Feng, come here, I have something to tell you." As soon as Chasing Feng saw Ling Feng, he immediately took him over.

"What's the matter, big brother." Ling Feng asked puzzled.

"Let's go out and talk." Chasing the wind said, and pulled Ling Feng out.

At this time, Rufeng was confused, and she asked Chasing Wind: "Big brother, what do you want to say to the second brother-what do you have to say after eating, why are you so anxious - why are you so mysterious." ”

Chasing Feng can still care about eating at this time, but he didn't pull Ling Feng's clothes out of a hole.

Rufeng watched Chaifeng and Ling Feng walk out of the door, pouting,

"I don't know what the two of them are doing, and they still want to avoid me, really!"

Rufeng sat down by himself, resting his right hand on his cheek, and fell into a burst of thought.

It's only been such a short time, and she doesn't forget to think about Bai Shijie, even though he just left here not long ago.

Ling Feng over there was at a loss all the way by the infinite power of Chasing Wind, and it was not until he reached a convenient place to speak that Chasing Wind let go of Ling Feng.

Ling Feng hurriedly asked Chaifeng, "Big brother, what happened?" ”。

"Ling Feng, you, do you know that Bai Shijie who came to our house is the young son of Baifu." Yin Chaifeng said hurriedly.

"It's really him." Ling Feng said, his face still as calm as ever.

"Ling Feng, tell me, what do you think now?" Chasing Wind asked impatiently.

"I think it's better to let things be." Ling Feng said.

"What do you mean? Do you think we should tell the third sister about this? ”

"In my opinion, it's okay to tell her, and it's okay not to tell her."

"How?"

"In the final analysis, the most important thing between people is fate. If there is really a fate between them, even if there is no matchmaking from others, they will eventually come together," Ling Feng paused, and then continued, "If there is no fate, no matter how much the parents' orders and matchmakers' words are, everything will be in vain in the end." ”

Ling Feng is always so profound, as a big brother, he has to admire Chasing the Wind.

However, he went around and went back like this, as if he hadn't said anything.

Chasing the wind thought about it, but decided to slow it down.

This is also the first time he has encountered this kind of thing, and it is really a coincidence that he can't write a book.

So, the two of them re-entered the house and returned to the dining table.

During this meal, everyone did not speak to each other, and the atmosphere was very awkward.

Rufeng didn't know what was going on, and thought he had done something wrong.

She looked at Chasing Wind for a while, and Ling Feng for a while, trying to find the answer in their eyes.

But Ling Feng and Chasing Feng were like they had discussed, just burying their heads in eating, and skillfully avoiding Rufeng's eager eyes again and again.

In the end, Rufeng had to give up.

It's no wonder that Rufeng has always remembered Bai Shijie in his heart, and he doesn't care too much about chasing the wind and Ling Feng's actions.

Following.

The whole morning was like a wind and I was restless, and I even ate absent-mindedly when I ate.

Ling Feng had been silently observing her from the side, he was watching her every move, and he knew that she had something on her mind—but he didn't break it.

Seeing that Rufeng looked like he had no appetite, Chasing Feng couldn't help but ask, "Rufeng, what's wrong with you, are you feeling unwell?" ”

Rufeng shook his head, afraid of being surprised by his brothers, so he hurriedly stuffed a few mouthfuls of food into his mouth, wanting to take the opportunity to fool him.

finally survived in the afternoon, like the wind seemed to be looking forward to it for a long time, and was about to go out in a hurry, and even forgot to say hello to his brothers.

Chasing Wind couldn't help but stop her from behind, "Rufeng, where are you going?" ”

Only then did she realize that she quickly turned around, "Big brother, there is a temple fair in the town today, I plan to go shopping, maybe I will come back later......"

"Is there a temple fair today? I haven't been to a temple fair for a long time, so why don't I go shopping with you with Ling Feng......"

Rufeng's heart suddenly chuckled, and when he didn't know how to answer him, Ling Feng walked to Chaifeng's side, "Big brother, have you forgotten that we are going to learn martial arts in the afternoon, your Yamen's annual assessment is coming, you have to hurry up and practice......"

Chasing the wind shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay then, be careful yourself, come back early."

Rufeng smiled, waved at them and ran away.

After Rufeng left, Chasing Feng asked Ling Feng, "Do you know where she's going?" ”

Of course, Chasing Wind knew that Ling Feng's words were to relieve Rufeng and excuse her - the so-called assessment in Ling Feng's mouth was just an excuse, just think about it, you know that with Chasing Feng's outstanding martial arts, when will you need to worry about those assessments like mustard?

Ling Feng said with a smile: "I guessed eight or nine points......

After speaking, there was something in his eyes that Chasing Feng couldn't understand, and Chasing Wind didn't ask in detail, so he went back to the room.

Rufeng came to the banyan tree at the appointed time, but found that Bai Shijie had been waiting there for a long time. He leaned his back against the trunk of the tree, his head held high, looking up at the sky intently, and he still held a willow branch in his hand, which kept swaying in circles in the air.

As soon as he saw Rufeng coming, Bai Shijie quickly stood up straight, threw the willow branch in his hand, and looked at her with glowing eyes, "Rufeng girl, are you ......here?"

Rufeng smiled lightly, "Bai Gongzi, have you been here for a long time?" ”

"No, no, no, I just arrived, so let's go now, you can get in the car......" Bai Shijie said, lifting the curtain on the carriage.

Rufeng nodded, carefully lifted the skirt, stepped into the carriage, and when she sat down inside, she realized that Bai Shijie did not bring the coachman, but played the role of "coachman" himself.

Rufeng couldn't help but open the curtain of the door and said to him: "Bai Gongzi, how can you deign to catch the car, Rufeng can't stand it......"

Bai Shijie was in front of him, and he saw him waving his horsewhip excitedly, and said with a smile: "Miss Rufeng is serious, it is an honor for me to be able to drive a car for Miss Rufeng......"

Rufeng was uneasy, but he was touched by his sincere words, and a shy smile welled up on the corner of his mouth.

The carriage galloped all the way, which is indeed much less time-consuming than walking. It wasn't long before they arrived in town.

Bai Shijie found a secluded place to park the carriage, turned his head and stretched out his hand to Rufeng, intending to help her get out of the carriage.

Rufeng hesitated, and instead of pulling his palm directly, he grabbed his wrist and jumped down easily in a few steps.

Bai Shijie smiled, he only felt that the girl in front of him was friendly but not frivolous, soft but not weak, which won his heart and was very much in line with him.

The temple fairs in the town are lively. All kinds of food, play, everything. Rufeng had a lot of fun. There was a crowd of people on the street, and Bai Shijie kept following the footsteps of the wind, for fear that if he was not careful, he would lose her.

Rufeng strolled around, came to a stall selling small sugar people, and was immediately attracted by those lifelike sugar people.

The stall owner looked at Rufeng with a smile, "Miss, we meet again......"

Rufeng said in surprise: "You know me? ”

The stall owner nodded, "A girl like Miss is so beautiful that she can't forget it at a glance......"

Rufeng smiled a little embarrassedly, she thought about it sideways, and said, "But, I remember that I haven't bought candy people from you before......"

The stall owner's face became a little heavy, "I used to open a shop in the town, which was to make clothes, just around the corner of the street, Miss, you once came to our house to buy clothes......"

Rufeng thought about it and seemed to be a little impressed. But at this moment, she became more and more confused, and couldn't help asking: "Then why don't you open a shop now, but sell candy people instead?" ”

The stall owner sighed, "It's just that I don't manage well and owe a lot of money, so I have to beat the shop out ......"

The more the stall owner spoke, the more sad she became, and Rufeng couldn't bear to hear it, so she immediately took off all the candy figures from the stall owner and said to him, "I bought all of them......

As she spoke, she took out all the money she had, "Look, is this enough?" ”

The stall owner smiled, "Miss, you can't eat all the candy people, you better buy less......"

Rufeng also smiled, "There are a lot of children coming and going on this street, I can share ...... for them to eat."

Shijie on the side quietly took out a piece of silver, put it on the stall owner's stall, put away the money like the wind, and stuffed it back into her hand.

"You ......" Rufeng looked at him in astonishment.

"Come out with me, how can there be any reason for you to pay......" Bai Shijie said with a straight face.

The stall owner over there was startled when he saw such a large ingot of silver, and hurriedly said: "Childe, you have given too much, I don't have so much money to find for you......"

Bai Shijie looked back at him and said with a smile: "No need to look for it......"

The stall owner was taken aback, "Childe, how can this be done, no, can't ......"

As he spoke, he wanted to return the silver to Bai Shijie.

Bai Shijie still smiled and pushed the silver back, "Since they are all old friends, they just want to express their hearts, and there is no other meaning, I hope you will accept it......"

The stall owner thanked him repeatedly, "Thank you, Childe, you are such a good person...... You're this young lady's fiancé, you two are really a natural pair, a pair of beautiful people......"

When Bai Shijie heard this, she was so happy that she was about to fly, but she blushed like a wind, and she quickly denied it: "No, no, he is, he is...... My brother ......"

Bai Shijie's joy hadn't passed yet, but he was suddenly poured a basin of cold water like the wind, but he really didn't have any agreement with her, and at this time, he didn't have any position to explain what to confess, so he could only stand there awkwardly, not laughing, not laughing.

The stall owner was a little suspicious for no reason, "Miss, my brother doesn't seem to look much like before......

Rufeng was shocked again, "Do you know my brother?" ”

"I don't know each other, he used to accompany you out for a walk, and he also came to my shop......"

Rufeng understood at this time that the person the stall owner was talking about must be Ling Feng, chasing the wind was much busier than Ling Feng, and he had almost no time to accompany her shopping.

Rufeng still explained hesitantly: "You don't know, he is my other brother, and I have a total of two brothers......"

The stall owner was a little embarrassed, "That's really sorry, I'm sorry...... But the girl is really blessed, the girl is so beautiful, and the two brothers are so magnificent, it is really enviable......"

Rufeng didn't speak again, turned around with the candy man and left, and Bai Shijie immediately followed.

Bai Shijie held back for a while, but couldn't help but ask Rufeng, "...... you Why do you say I'm your brother? ”

Rufeng was ashamed and said softly: "You can't let others misunderstand......

"Why is it a misunderstanding?"

As soon as these words came out, Rufeng was shocked for a moment and looked straight at him.

"Wind girl, I don't know what you think, but in my heart, I hope it's not a misunderstanding......"

Rufeng panicked even more, "I...... Childe, you can't joke casually......"

Bai Shijie said solemnly: "Don't worry, I am not a frivolous person, my heart for you is completely from the bottom of my heart, and there is no hypocrisy......"

Rufeng's face became hotter and hotter, but his heart was so moved that he couldn't do it, this was the first time that a man had confessed to her so solemnly.

But Bai Shijie's hot gaze made her a little unbearable, and she quickly changed the topic, "Let's quickly distribute these sugar people to these children......

Rufeng said as he handed the candy man in his hand to the children passing by. Those toddlers didn't recognize life either, and happily took over the candy man in Rufeng's hands.

Parents around children are not worried about letting their children take things from strangers, but when they see Rufeng's stunning face, they are flattered to let their children salute and thank them. Those children also obediently said "Thank you, sister......", some older children, no one taught, actually said "Thank you, fairy sister......", Rufeng was a little ashamed to hear it, and there was a shy smile on his face, and Bai Shijie in the back praised it again and again in his heart, such a young child is so discerning. After sending it for a while, there were still a lot of sugar people left in Rufeng's hand, so Bai Shijie also took some and sent them with her.

From then on, the children's voices of thanks changed to "Thank you, brother and sister-in-law......

Bai Shijie couldn't help but snicker in his heart, just now it was one, and now there is a group of them, under such a "divine assistance", I am afraid that I will not be able to resist it like the wind.

Sure enough, Rufeng at this time, although his face was crimson, he didn't explain it anymore, just a candy man with a soft smile on his face.

After a while, the sugar man was finally finished, and Bai Shijie realized that he had forgotten to leave one for Rufeng.

Rufeng smiled and shook his head, "It's okay, I think those children like this sugar man more than me......"

At this time, it was already evening, Bai Shijie proposed, "Let's go to dinner first, later, there will be lanterns on the street, and we will enjoy the lanterns together in the evening......"

Rufeng's face showed a hint of embarrassment.

"What's wrong?"

"At night, I'm afraid I won't be able to watch the lights with you, I have to go home before dark, otherwise, my brothers will be worried......"

"Isn't it okay just once?"

Rufeng shook his head.

"So, it's always okay to have dinner together, right?"

Rufeng thought for a moment and nodded.

The restaurants on the street were almost full, and they managed to find a vacant place.

The two sat opposite each other, Bai Shijie didn't say a word, and ordered a lot of food, which filled the entire table.

Rufeng couldn't help but laugh, "Bai Gongzi, you're too wasteful......"

Bai Shijie didn't speak, just smiled.

Suddenly, someone at another table across a few positions suddenly stood up and walked straight towards Bai Shijie, "Bai Gongzi, I didn't expect to meet you here......

Bai Shijie looked up and responded enthusiastically: "Shang Qing, it's you, why are you here?" ”

Yu Shangqing was Bai Shijie's childhood playmate, and later he moved, and the two families were far away, so they gradually got in touch less, and they didn't want to, but they met here.

The man took the opportunity to sit down at the table, "Shijie, I didn't say you, I have time to accompany Sister Ling to go shopping and eat, but you haven't paid attention to us old friends for a long time......" he said, and glanced at Rufeng.

Hearing the word "Sister Ling", Bai Shijie and Rufeng were both stunned for a moment, they glanced at each other, and then looked at Yu Shangqing in unison.

Yu Shangqing was shocked by this sudden focus of gaze, took a closer look at Rufeng, and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I made a mistake, may I ask who this young lady is?" ”

Rufeng was thinking about explaining, but Bai Shijie opened his mouth first, "Do you want to know?" I'm not going to tell you ......."

Yu Shangqing looked at the two of them with a wicked smile, and a teasing sound came out of his mouth, "Bai Shijie, you can ...... you"

Bai Shijie was noncommittal, and drank the tea in his hand leisurely, like the wind, he was very embarrassed, and his palms were about to sweat.

Suddenly, someone inside called Yu Shangqing's name, and when Yu Shangqing turned around, it turned out to be his partners at the same table, and they shouted his name while shouting loudly, "All drinking, you ran away without a sound, don't take the opportunity to cheat, come back quickly......"

Yu Shangqing shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and said to Bai Shijie and Rufeng: "I'm sorry, I'm missing, Young Master Bai, young lady ......" After speaking, he glanced at Bai Shijie meaningfully.

Bai Shijie stretched out his hand and hit him, "You can go quickly......

"Okay, okay, I'll go, I'll go, I won't disturb the good time of the two......" Yu Shangqing finished speaking, humming the song and leaving, but Bai Shijie secretly laughed and blossomed. Although this assist is good, Bai Shijie can finally have a meal alone with Rufeng, and it is not a problem for him to keep clubbing like this, this will be his departure, and they can finally clean up for a while.

Rufeng was still immersed in Yu Shangqing's ridicule and did not ease up, and he had a longing for something in his heart, but he suddenly lost his thoughts.

Bai Shijie has always indulged in his own joy, and he has been holding dishes for Rufeng during the banquet, and the words have never stopped, Rufeng just listened to him quietly, listened to him tell his childhood, listened to him interpret the books he had read, the roads he had traveled, and listened to him say a lot......

I don't know if he did it on purpose, this meal has been eaten for a long time, and the surrounding diners gradually dispersed one by one, and their table continued.

I don't know why, it's obviously a sparse and ordinary shop on the street, but it eats something unusually delicious.

Finally, the meal was finished, which also meant that Rufeng was going back.

Bai Shijie also tried to keep it again, but Rufeng resolutely refused, "I must go home before dark, I can't let my brothers worry about ......"

Bai Shijie had no choice but to say, "Okay, I'll send you back......"

"No, no need......" Rufeng's eyes flashed with a hint of panic.

Bai Shijie guessed that she might be afraid that her brothers would see her, so she said obediently: "I'll send you under the big banyan tree, is it okay?" ”

She smiled and nodded. Having said that, there is no more reason to refuse—he really understands himself.

Without further ado, they got into the carriage from which they had come.

But the difference was that the carriage was moving very slowly this time, and the horses were seen walking lazily step by step, while the undutiful coachman on the carriage did not spur him at all, and looked passive and slacking off.

Rufeng inside was a little anxious, and kept looking out, and after a while, she couldn't help but ask him, "What's wrong with this horse, why is it walking so slowly?" ”

"Maybe I've traveled a lot, I'm tired......"

Although Rufeng is anxious, it is not good to urge anything.

Finally, the carriage reached the junction where they had set off.

Bai Shijie parked the carriage and didn't wait for him to help her, but she had already jumped out of the carriage in a hurry.

She straightened the hem of her skirt and said to him, "Then, I'll go, be careful when you go back......

"Like the wind, beware of ...... on the road"

Rufeng smiled, "It's almost at my doorstep, you don't have to worry, but you, you have to go back quickly, otherwise, it's going to be dark......"

After Rufeng finished speaking, he ran quickly in the direction of home, while Bai Shijie stood motionless and watched her.

After running like the wind for a while, he suddenly stopped and turned around. Seeing that Bai Shijie was still standing in place, he shouted at him like the wind: "Go back quickly......"

She shouted and waved at him.

Bai Shijie nodded, but there was no intention of leaving.

After waving his hand like the wind, he turned around and ran again, Bai Shijie was still standing there, his eyes followed her figure, not leaving for a moment, until her figure was getting farther and farther away, until she turned the corner and the figure disappeared, he reluctantly retracted his gaze, got up and got into the carriage, and went home.

(2) Sister and brother have a deep affection

Bai Shijie returned to Baifu.

In fact, since the first time he saw Rufeng, he has been deeply attracted to her.

Then every time I saw her again, the impulse in my heart became stronger and stronger.

Now, the words have been broken, and he has reached the point where she has to be.

However, how can I stay with her for the rest of my life?

Dad's attitude is tough, and my mother is obedient to my father, and now there is only one way to try - that is, to ask my sister.

Bai Shijie has had a good relationship with Bai Ruyu since he was a child, and Bai Ruyu has always loved him.

So, that night, Bai Shijie came to Bai Ruyu's room.

"Sister." Bai Shijie screamed softly.

At this time, Bai Ruyu was practicing the piano, and when she saw Bai Shijie coming in, she hurriedly got up.

"Shijie, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with me looking for me so late? Ruyu asked.

"No, I just haven't talked to my sister for a long time, today, I came to talk to my sister." Bai Shijie said with a hippie smile.

"You kid, how can you still have the heart to chat with your sister now! If there is anything, just say it, is it another trouble? ”

As the saying goes, knowing a brother is better than a sister, Bai Shijie's careful thinking, how can he hide from her who is smart, Ruyu knows in her heart that this kid must have something to do with him.

"Oh, sister, how old am I, don't always think of me so badly, can't I come to my sister to sit down if there's nothing to do? You are my favorite and most respected sister since I was a child. ”

Bai Ruyu smiled, this younger brother who has been naughty and playful since he was a child, and came to cry his nose when he got into trouble, is now an adult.

"Well, if you're really fine, I'll continue to practice." Bai Ruyu said this deliberately.

"Don't, sister, you don't want to talk to me so much, but, but I have something to tell you." Bai Shijie was in a hurry and quickly stopped her.

"Look, let's be honest."

"Sister, don't embarrass me, okay?"

"Okay, okay, just say anything."

"I, I-sister, do you know what it's like to like someone? To like someone is to learn to miss and to be afraid. When you can't see her, you think about her all the time; When you see her, you are afraid that the next moment you will leave her. When I was with her, my life felt short: every second of my time apart from her felt long. ”

"Are you enchanted or evil, saying so many sensual things - could it be that you have someone you like? What kind of divine is this girl, who can make my brother so fascinated by her. ”

"Sister, don't laugh at me, do you want to help me?"

"How do you want me to help you?"

"You go and talk to your father, let him fulfill me and Rufeng, okay?"

"Like the wind? Is Rufeng the girl you like? The name is nice, but what kind of person is she? ”

"She's as beautiful as poetry, gentle as autumn."

"Really?" Bai Ruyu said, "Then how could my father disagree with such a good girl?" ”

"He didn't ask me to marry a girl from another family, and I don't know why."

"Well, since you really like it, I'm still willing to help with this favor, but I have to see what kind of person you say Rufeng is."

Bai Ruyu has always responded to Bai Shijie's requests, and this time is no exception, Bai Shijie is just not grateful.

"Really? Thank you so much sister, I will definitely take you to meet her as soon as possible. ”

(3) Banquets are held in restaurants

Bai Shijie wanted to arrange for his sister to meet Rufeng as soon as possible, but he didn't know how to achieve it.

After thinking about it, he decided to get together at the best Mochizuki Tower in the town.

Shijie sent a family member to send an invitation to the Yin family.

The content of the invitation is clever.

In the name of being a friend of Chasing Wind and Ling Feng, Bai Shijie invited the three brothers and sisters of the Yin family.

In this way, many embarrassments are also avoided.

In fact, in Shijie's heart, Yin Chaifeng and Yin Lingfeng have become his brothers.

When the Yin family received the invitation, they couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Yin Chaifeng was very happy, and felt that Bai Shijie was very righteous and regarded himself as a friend.

Rufeng was hesitant to move, not knowing whether she should go or not, and finally she turned her hesitant gaze to Yin Lingfeng.

Ling Feng said: "Since people have kindly invited, it is not easy to refuse. ”

As he spoke, he turned to Yin Chaifeng again, "What do you mean, big brother?" ”

The second brother is right. The third sister doesn't have to think too much, let's go over together. ”

So, the three of them prepared a little and went together.

Bai Shijie over there has been waiting for a long time.

In the Mochizuki Tower.

"Brother Chasing the Wind, Brother Ling Feng, Miss Yin, you are here, please take a seat, please take a seat." Bai Shijie saw the three people who came by appointment, and excitedly stepped forward to greet them.

Bai Ruyu, who was sitting on the side, saw the guests coming, and hurriedly got up to greet them.

Bai Shijie has his sister here, and Yin Rufeng has two brothers on his side, which is quite a family gathering.

"Bai Gongzi is so gracious, we really deserve it." Chasing the wind said.

"Brother Chasing the Wind, where is this, I came to Qingfeng Villa uninvited last time, and I was disturbed a lot, and I have to thank you for not caring about the presumptuousness of the subordinates. This banquet is all about the exchange of courtesies between us. Bai Shijie said.

Bai Shijie beckoned the Yin family brothers and sisters to sit down, and the three of them saw Bai Ruyu at this time.

"Bai Gongzi, who is this?" Yin Chaifeng asked.

I saw that the woman in front of her had skin like snow and eyes like stars, and Yin Chaifeng's eyes lit up.

"Oh, this is my sister below, Bai Ruyu." Bai Shijie said.

Ruyu also smiled and gestured to Chasing the wind.

"Miss is really as good as her name, fresh and elegant, white as jade." Chasing the wind couldn't help but praise it.

"Yin Gongzi has won the award," Bai Ruyu said, turning to Yin Rufeng, "Ruyu's appearance is mediocre, where can she compare to Miss Yin." ”

Ruyu paused for a while, and then continued, "I heard Shijie say that Miss Yin is a heavenly immortal descending from earth, and she is as beautiful as a flower. When I saw it today, it was true. I am not exaggerating to say that this Miss Yin is a few points more beautiful than Shijie said. ”

Rufeng was a little embarrassed by the praise, and blushed into a flower.

It's just that Rufeng felt a little uneasy in her heart, and she didn't understand why Bai Shijie wanted to bring her sister and what the purpose of this move was.

Now that the guests have arrived, the restaurant has begun to serve the food.

After all, it is the best restaurant in the area, and the dishes in Mochizuki are first-class, with all the color, flavor, and flavor.

During the banquet, the three men sat together and drank, while Bai Ruyu and Yin Rufeng sat together and talked to each other.

Bai Ruyu seemed to like Yin Rufeng very much, and kept serving her vegetables.

While Bai Shijie was drinking, he didn't forget to look at the situation of the two women here.

Seeing that his sister and Rufeng were so harmonious, Bai Shijie naturally couldn't hide his joy in his heart.
