You walk back to your yard and enter the bedroom door. You and your clothes fall on your back on the bed, your eyes closed, and you don't move.

Wu Shun walked in after you.

"Young master, what's wrong?"

You close your eyes and say nothing.

Wu Shun guessed: "Trained by the master?" ”

You continue to close your eyes and remain silent.

He thought about it for a moment and guessed again, "Did you get beaten?" ”

You can't help but open your eyes and glare at him.

Wu Shun stuck out his tongue and said nothing.

You close your eyes and say, "Go pack our things for both of us." The day after tomorrow, we went with my father to the city. ”

"Castle?!" Wu Shun's whole person was lit from beginning to end like a lamp. He stood there, glittering with excitement.

"You're going to take me to the city!" He was about to cheer, "Ha, we can go and eat the mutton noodles, Mianshui fish, white chopped chicken, Fuyuan cakes, fried dough, crispy and dry, flower sauce........."

You couldn't help but open your eyes again and glare at him.

Wu Shun stopped the endless reverie. He looks at you strangely. He was puzzled and said, "Isn't this a great thing?" Why are you so listless? ”

You roll over in bed, facing the interior wall.

Wu Shun stood there, his mind spinning fast. After a moment, his eyes flickered and his face glowed.

He suddenly realized "Oh", and said with a smile: "Oh, I know, it turned out to be reluctant to ...... peace"

You stop him flatly: "Don't say it." Go clean up! ”

Wu Shun held back the smile on the corner of his eyebrows, and was about to retreat, when a small guy came in outside. The little servant replied, "Young boy, the young lady is here." Do you want to invite the lady in? ”

You sit up from your bed with a snort.

Wu Shun couldn't help but sneer. You glared at him sternly, and he immediately covered his mouth and forced his smile back.

You said to Wu Shun and the little servant: "You, go out honestly and clean up, you, go and invite the young lady to come in." ”

We sat across from each other on either side of the table.

You say, "You've heard of it?" ”

I nodded. I said, "Are you going to leave the day after tomorrow?" ”

You say, "Yes." ”

I said, "It's so urgent." ”

You say, "I didn't expect that either." ”

I said, "Go, what will happen?" ”

You shake your head and say, "I don't know." ”

"Will you be appointed to an official position and sent somewhere else?"

"Possibly."

"Will you go to a far away place to be an official? Are you going to go for many years? ”

You don't answer.

I asked again, "King Han, will you be sent to battle?" I heard a slight tremor in my voice.

You looked at me and didn't answer.

We were silent.

After a while, you said, "Qin'er, don't you want me to go to Dongcheng?" ”

I bowed my head and said nothing.

You said warmly: "However, this time, you must go." I can't disobey the edict. Whatever happens, I don't have any other choice. ”

I said, "I know." ”

You say, "What hasn't happened since I went." We don't have to worry about things that haven't happened yet, do we? ”

I said, "Yes." ”

I looked at the ground and felt your gaze fall on my eyelids. You're watching me.

I lowered my head even deeper. I listen to your breathing.

None of us spoke, and there was silence in the room.

I hear the sound of blood running in my veins, and your regular, powerful heartbeat.

After a while, you said, "Qin'er, in my heart, I understand." ”

You say, "I understand it all." Say, "Believe me." ”

I look up at you. We looked at each other for a long time. Then, I said, "Okay." I said, "I do." ”

That conversation that day may have been the first time we had made a vague confession to each other.

Even though you didn't say what you understood, and I didn't ask you what you were going to believe, we just like that, without saying anything, we made promises to each other.

The time of separation will soon come.

The night before departure, you came again to say goodbye to me.

"Packed up?"

"Pack up, and we'll leave early tomorrow morning."

"I'll send you off with my aunt and eldest brother. I hope that my brother's wish will come true and he will be able to put all kinds of ideas about the world into practice. ”

"Hmm. May the world be peaceful as soon as possible. Hopefully, I will have the opportunity to make that day come sooner rather than later. You said, "Qin'er, when I'm not at home, you have to be careful with yourself, stay away from your eldest brother, and spend more time with your aunt day and night." However, before I came here, I talked to him again, and I am sure he did not dare. ”

"I'll be careful. You can go with confidence. Take care along the way. Take good care of your father. ”

We looked at each other in silence.

That's what life is. If there is a reunion, there will be a parting. It's easier said than done.

Following my aunt, I will escort you to the door of the second hall. I stood there dumbfounded, watching the backs of my father and you disappear into the courtyard gate, feeling the huge hollowness inside. I looked at the hollow pattern on the shadow wall for a long time, forgetting the morning and dusk, the sunshine and rain, and the spring, summer, autumn and winter.

"Jean? Can't you hear me calling you? "I woke up. My aunt looked me in the eye. She said, "Look at the look in your eyes." The soul is not guarded. Let's go back. ”
