Prequel. Chapter 40: Nothing to Say but Sorry
When I walked outside the door, Yang came from behind and grabbed me, only to hear him whisper "I'm sorry".
I'm sorry...
He has ever been sorry for me.
Do you think he didn't tell me about King Chen earlier, or didn't tell me about Lou Yihang.
Everyone knew that Lou Jing was Ling Xueyun, and everyone knew that Lou Yihang approached me to take revenge on Lou Jing, but no one was willing to tell me.
But for them, whether they know or not is their own business, and whether they say it or not is their own business, and I have no reason to complain about others.
"Hello."
He glanced behind me with both eyes, and I turned around slowly and unknowingly, and the ink robe immediately fixed my gaze, it turned out that the face under his mask was so familiar to me...
And tears also burst out of his eyes in an instant, dripping on his clothes and on the ground.
He said he would be with me for the rest of his life, he told me to wait for him, he said he would come and marry me...
I looked at his eyes staring at me as well, and I felt that there was endless reluctance and distress in those eyes, and my vision gradually blurred, and in a trance, I seemed to see that when I went to Chenwang's Mansion to find him, he spoke to me so gently, afraid that I would put his cloak on me cold...
And that day in Murong Mansion, when I mentioned Lou Yihang, he suddenly became angry.
Everyone in South Vietnam knows that Lou Jing, the king of Chen, kills people like hemp on the battlefield, his hands are stained with blood, and he treats anyone with extreme indifference, with an ice face.
To whom has he ever been gentle?
He was gentle with me.
It's just because I've really walked into his heart.
But now, we are speechless, not as we were before.
Maybe my father and mother, Sister Wan, Xingyi, everyone around me saw it very thoroughly, it was just a joke from my childhood, and the agreement I kept might be worthless to him, only a fool like me would believe it.
I couldn't help but smile bitterly, I was stupid, I was stupid for so many years.
The man in front of me was getting closer to me, and I was left staring blankly at him, unable to take my eyes off him for a moment.
I could clearly see the scar at the corner of his eye, and if I had seen it earlier, I would have recognized him, and before that, I could have dared to ask him why he hadn't come to me for so many years, and why he still hadn't recognized me even if he had known.
But now, even though I know everything, even though I have a thousand words in my heart that I want to say to him, I can only turn into silence.
I actually felt sorry for him because of Lou Yi.
The person in front of me suddenly stretched out his hand, and his fingers touched my face full of teardrops, just like when he was in the peach blossom forest, brushed back a strand of hair on my forehead, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and finally spoke: "Ah Hang, he loves you very much, and you also have him in your heart, don't live up to this love." ”
I turned my head to the side, not wanting to look at his face anymore, would he just push me out?
"What kind of person he is, I understand. Either way, he's serious about you. ”
"And what is our agreement?"
"How can you be true when you said something when you were a child? It was just a childhood joke, we were all just each other's childhood playmates, nothing more. ”
Without any hesitation, almost blurted out, this is what he said in his heart. The more I felt ridiculous, they were all right.
Jokes? A childhood friend? It turns out that in his heart, our past is really so meaningless.
I looked at him again, and the smile on his face had dissipated, and the expression on his face was not sure whether it was joy or sadness.
I had so many things to tell him and ask him, but I couldn't say a word now.
"Xiao Yan, I'm sorry."
Xiao Yan...
It's been almost nine years, and I'm waiting for him to appear in front of me, calling me "Xiao Yan" like before, and then smiling at me like before, but I don't want to hear him call me like this again, just saying sorry to me
I'm sorry...
It would have been nice if he had told me earlier, if he had told me who he really was when I first met, and told me that we could only be friends.
I won't just guard him, I can treat him as a stranger.
When he saw that I didn't speak again, he continued, as if to persuade me to enlighten me, and said the same sentence: "I'm sorry." I think you're good, it's impossible for us, you're good with Ah Hang, he's serious about you. ”
I couldn't help but sneer, "Seriously? Is it serious revenge? Or are you seriously lying to me? ”
What else did he want to say, but I looked at him coldly, and said to myself again, Ling Xueyun, he was really ruthless.
Seeing his lips trembling faintly, it took a long time before he spit out a few words again: "Xiao Yan, I'm sorry." ”
He said sorry three times in a row, I felt particularly harsh when I heard it, I'm sorry, between us, is there really only that?
"You have nothing to say to me except sorry?"
"I have nothing to say but I'm sorry."
Really, there is nothing to say ...
There is no mention of the past, there is no explanation, I don't even want to perfunctory, childhood jokes, childhood playmates, this is the answer he gave me.
Looking sideways and seeing Yang standing in place with a stunned expression, I glanced at him, got up and walked forward.
"Xiao Yan..."
As I passed by, I heard him call me again, and that sound was a thousand pounds to him and to me. I said to myself over and over again, it's all over, it's gone, he said we can't be, what else can I expect?
It's me who was wrong, I've been on the wrong path since we met, and after all these years, I should have turned back, and I shouldn't have thought about him.
Yes, that Ling Xie Yun is no longer there, he is now Lou Jing, the king of Chen, he is so far away from me, we are people of two worlds, and we no longer belong only to each other.
At that time, only I would take the joke seriously, he had already put it down, how could the remote and wilderness Peach Blossom Village compare with this prosperous place in the capital?
He was good to me at that time, and it was only because Mu Jing saved him and let him escape the Bai family's pursuit safely in Peach Blossom Village, and he felt that Mu Jing and I were kind to him.
He told me about the impossible promise, also because he felt that I would not take it seriously, that it was just a thing of the past for him, that I was just a passerby in his life, that I had saved him, and that everything else was no different from anyone else.
When he returned to the house, he couldn't bear it anymore, closed the door, sat down on the ground like that, hugged his head and cried.
When I heard the news of his death, I almost broke down, thinking that as long as he was alive, even if he had forgotten about me, even if he had someone else in his heart, as long as he lived.
I let myself get out of the pain of having completely lost him, but I learned that he was not dead, I complained about the cruelty of God, and when I knew that he might be King Chen, I was grateful for God's mercy for a moment, it turned out that he was still alive and living well in this world.
But God has always been cruel, he will not make an exception because of me, he is really so fair to things in the world, he can accept what you think in your heart one moment, and the next moment it will make your heart like ashes.
That unattainable promise will never be fulfilled again.
The door creaked open, and I heard no other sound, and I still stared blankly at the ground, tears still streaming down my face, until a pair of hands reached out to me.
"You'er, get up, it's cold on the ground."
As the voice sounded, I looked up at him, a face that was disgusting to me right now.
I pushed his hand away, and I didn't care about anything, I grabbed the cuff and wiped it on my face a few times to wipe away my tears, and I couldn't help but sob.
The hands in front of me were still in place, not moving, and they didn't say anything because of my actions, but stood quietly in front of me.
I was still sitting on the ground, staring at the ground, not wanting to look at him at all, let alone talk to him.
"Hello."
He called me again.
The tears were dry, and I settled down before I slowly spoke: "I don't know what happened to Your Highness?" ”
He forcibly pulled me up, and his tone was as gentle as before: "Yi'er, you listen to me." ”
"What does Your Highness want to say?"
I looked at him like that, if I hadn't heard what he said to Murong Ling with my own ears, I am afraid that his demeanor at this moment was very sincere. looked aggrieved, as if to explain to me: "Yi'er, don't be like this, things are not what you heard." ”
"His Royal Highness King Ling, I'm not very interested in the matter between you and Miss Murong."
"Yi'er, I and her are in the past, from the moment she betrayed me back then, I don't have any feelings for her anymore, and the person I like now is you."
I couldn't help but laugh, "Me? What does Your Highness like about me? Like I can let you take revenge on King Chen? ”
He kept shaking his head, his face became a little ugly, but he still said to me patiently, "Don't listen to Murong Ling's nonsense. ”
"That's not what she said, that's what Your Highness said personally."
"You let me go, I'm really tired."
I stretched out my hand and pushed him away, not wanting to talk to him any more, so I turned around and walked out the door, just in time to see Mu Jing sitting at the stone table in the courtyard, and Xingyi and Yuyin were standing beside him.
When I came back before, Mu Jingxingyi Yuyin didn't see any of them, why are they all here in groups now.
Yuyin knows my heart the most, how can I easily let others into my house, this Su Xingyi, how do Lou Yihang always like to join in the fun, and turn his elbow outward again and again, I just told him last time that I didn't take it as an example, and it took a long time to become a little fox again.
"Sister, are you okay?"
As she spoke, she tiptoed over to me, I glared at Mu Jing, and when Xingyi walked up to me, she whispered to her, "Let's go to your room, I have something to tell you." ”
"Oh." With a look of surprise, she looked at Mu Jing for a moment, and then looked into the room a few times, as if she knew that she had done something wrong, and obediently followed me.
