Chapter 17: Gentleness

The second wind blows, with the sound of fluttering, the yellow leaves are scattered all over the sky, and the elegant beauty in a light blue dress is set off like a figure from a classical oil painting.

The gap of more than a year seems to have disappeared in this instant, and time returns to before the start of the conference. The affectionate eyes of the woman when she said goodbye were clear and bright.

When Chongyang came back to his senses, he had already stepped forward and hugged her soft and warm delicate body tightly into his arms without saying a word.

The two hugged each other tightly under the tree, silent to each other, and did not communicate with any words, but they really felt each other's existence with each other's body and mind.

Vinie, next to her, stared at the scene infatuatedly. It is as if you can feel the picture in front of you. Sweet happiness that almost melts people.

Helen snuggled up to Chongyang, quietly listening to the black-haired young man tell the story of the Three Kingdoms Conference, a pair of Rouyi holding his big hands tightly, clasping his fingers and wrapping the back of his hand.

This hand holds the staff, how much magic it has cast, how many battles it has endured. In those dangerous scenes where he deliberately said plainly, but actually gambled on life and death, if there was a slight deviation, maybe this hand would never be held by her again.

Thinking of this, Helen felt an urge to hold on like this, never letting go of her hand.

But......

"Helen, where have you been and what have you been doing?"

Chongyang roughly finished talking about his own business, and turned to ask the beautiful woman with a smile.

"I went to the western city of Yumok to attend the funeral of a relative. Helen replied calmly.

Yumok City is a large city that is some distance away from the imperial capital, and it is normal to spend a month going back and forth.

Chongyang nodded, looking at the beautiful woman's expression and didn't want to talk about it, it was not pleasant to want to come to the funeral. I didn't ask deeply.

The autumn breeze contained a bit of coldness, but sitting side by side with the woman under the tree, smelling the faint fragrance wafting around him, his heart was filled with a warm and numb heat.

"Helen" Chongyang's heart rippled, and he stretched out his other hand and stroked the face of the beautiful woman. Twist her delicate chin and kiss her soft lips affectionately.

The moment the lips touched, I don't know why, the scene of kissing with Rosyali suddenly appeared in my mind, and then he forcibly erased it.

Taste, deepen, feel.

A long and passionate kiss, until the woman's breathing became a little heavy, and she seemed to be almost out of breath, he reluctantly parted from it, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a beautiful face as delicate as a peach blossom.

Let's get married. ”

Without thinking, abruptly but naturally, Chongyang said to Helen.

This is a woman who deserves to be cherished for the rest of her life, get married, enter the sacred temple with her, and make a vow in front of many witnesses, love her, love her, and take care of her until this life

Without preparation, without rings, such a proposal may seem less formal, but the depth of affection that comes naturally is enough to replace all insignificant superficial forms.

However, when Helen heard this, her delicate body was shocked, her expression froze, her face was flushed, and her eyes flashed with complex and inexplicable light.

There was a moment of silence, only the leaves of the trees were in an uproar in the wind, just like Chongyang's increasingly turbulent mind.

"What's wrong with you?" he heard his voice break the silence, his tone a little dry, didn't he want to?

"It's not!"

Seeing the change in Chongyang's eyes, Helen immediately blurted out, and then as if to enhance her persuasiveness, she took the initiative to offer her lips and kiss him deeply again.

I love you, I love you sincerely, but I,

It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I can't marry you like this. After parting her lips, Helen said with inexplicable emotion.

"Why?" Chongyang frowned. "The conference is over, I have survived, and I already have some property in the imperial capital, enough to build a stable family. I'll continue to work hard in the future to keep you and your future children in the future, huh?"

Helen gagged him with her lips again.

She's a pound. The body pressed over, slowly pressed him against the picnic cloth, and kissed him on the lips. Kiss him on the face.

"I am willing to be your woman, give your body and mind to you, and I am willing to have children for you. Helen kissed Chongyang's ear and whispered softly.

"It's just that I can't get married, and I can't let a woman of low status take up the wife of the winner of the promising Three Kingdoms. ”

Chongyang was a little stunned, and it took a while to accept the meaning of Helen's words.

"What are you talking about!?"

He stood up and grabbed the beautiful woman by the shoulder.

"How can you think that? Helen, I'll marry you, because you're you, and it has nothing to do with your status or anything!"

Helen stared at him, her eyes gradually filling with sparkling colors.

"I'm glad you can say that, and that's enough. Chongyang, I'm just an ordinary woman, and I don't have any talent to be proud of. There is no rich net worth, no noble background, and you are not suitable for the victory of the conference,"

"Shut up!" Chongyang shouted, looking a little excited. He never expected that Helen would show such a layer of knots.

"Don't be stupid, don't think about what you have at this time, it doesn't matter if you have talent and background. It doesn't matter if you win, I'm going to marry you. Marry you, it's as simple as that. ”

"No, you should have a wife who is more suitable for you, and I just need to be your woman" a mistress, it's fine. ”

, "I said don't be stupid, okay" Chongyang frowned deeply, he could feel that Liaojiang's tone was serious, and this was the problem.

"Leave your wife alone, be your mistress" Do you think I'll be happy to do this? What is the impact on you? Who told you the extra words? If so, tell me who it is. I'm going to give that bastard a hard beating!"

"Nobody, that's what I thought of myself. Chongyang, in my eyes, you are the best man. I should have the best wife, and I'm not the best fit. Helen said quietly.

Chongyang helplessly lowered his head and shook his dizzy head.

"What you say is wrong, Helen, I don't know how you can hold such a standard, but I want you to change your mind, put that wrong opinion aside, and listen to me. You're a good fit for me, that's it. ”

"No, if I marry you like this, I will definitely regret it in the future." ”

"I definitely won't regret it!" Chongyang almost roared. Why is it so troublesome for a woman to get nervous!?

"I said I'd regret it later, it's not you, it's me. Helen gazed affectionately at the young man's tangled face.

"Imagine that when you encounter setbacks on a more far-reaching path in the future, or something else that needs help, I can only watch from the sidelines, leaving you alone to work hard, and unable to provide any useful assistance. At that time, I must have blamed myself. As your wife, I can't share your worries like a wife. ”

"I feel pain when I see you who don't come home until late at night, or who can't sleep peacefully after a long time of contemplation in your study. But I can't do anything, at most I can only take care of the little things for you. And the more you don't blame me, the more considerate you are for me, and even comfort me in turn, the more painful I will be. ”

"In the end, I will regret that I married you rashly and did not leave your wife's place to a good woman who can help you better. ”

"I don't want to make this mistake that I will regret for the rest of my life, I have to face myself and realize that I am not worthy of you. ”

"You're gentle, Chongyang, but you're too gentle, and sometimes" isn't a good thing. ”

"I love you and am willing to do anything for you, give everything to you, have children for you, you can. But only this "Please allow me to be willful once." ”

"I can't be your wife. ”

Helen smiled, her eyes filled with tears, but her tone was as firm as a towering stone.

Chongyang was silent, feeling as if he was being twisted up. Why would "there be such a stupid woman in the world?" would rather be a mistress who hides behind the scenes and is even criticized by others, rather than be a wife who loves a man?

Is it my own fault? Is it my own self-righteousness that I am good for her, but I don't take into account the feelings she will have? Is it also wrong to marry the woman I love the most, something that should be taken for granted?

"Helen, you don't need to be in pain. You don't need to regret anything, you just need to marry me, and then take care of the family, and the rest definitely don't need you to be **, I promise"

"That's not good, Chongyang, don't be too gentle with me. ”

"Don't be too gentle, it's you! Men are the most normal to work outside, and women shouldn't worry about anything. ”

"No, I know no, I can't do it"

The two who loved each other deeply faced each other under the tree, arguing with contradictory positions that seemed absurd to ordinary people.

Who is gentle with whom, and who insists for whom?

Chongyang has never been able to convince Helen, and Helen has not been able to convince Chongyang. No matter how people continue to stalemate, no one will back down.

"You..."

Chuiyang hugged the woman again, feeling extremely distressed.

Helen was in tears, but the corners of her mouth were smiling. Also hug the man you love tightly.

I won't give up, I absolutely insist on it, because it's for your good and for my good.

There was silence for a long time, and it seemed that even the heavens shook their heads for the stubbornness of the two, blowing a bigger cold wind. swept the swept ocean sprinkled with falling English.

Chongyang looked up at the sky and sighed deeply.

"You really don't want to change your mind?"

Helen leaned on his shoulder and nodded slightly.

"Well, we can't convince each other, so why don't we ask a third person you and I can trust on this issue?"

Chongyang thought about it and felt that this was the last choice.

"You mean, Your Highness the Princess?" said Helen softly.

"That's right, let's go and ask her how to solve this matter, mistress or wife, and listen to her opinion. Chongyang said, a flash of inspiration in his mind.

Further, he said, "We might as well make an agreement in the name of listening to opinions, but in fact the answer of Her Royal Highness the Princess will be the result!"

In his mind, in response to the question that the two were going to be together, Roseali's reaction would first be to stop it, and then if the blocking didn't work, it should be inclined to let Helen be his wife.

His own persuasion could not make Helen give in. Then plus Her Royal Highness the Princess, should be able to convince Helen.

Helen thought about it, she could understand the intentions of Chongyang's proposal, and she was weighing it repeatedly in her heart.

"Okay, but when I ask, I'm going to talk to Her Royal Highness the princess alone. ”

She thought about the last, firmly and authentically.
