Chapter 40 - To each his own heart

As long as there are people walking around, talking, buying and selling in front of him, it is a scene that Yao Qiao likes very much.

Her interest in people's daily lives is clearly higher than Ivan's, and at the same time, people from any place can do it, regardless of geography.

However, the connotation is not as deep as Ivan's, Yao Qiao only stays on the surface, looking at what they are doing, as long as they can move and talk.

And Ivan is more inclined to the core and essence, what is their life like, whether they are doing well or not, and whether they need help from outsiders.

Yao Qiao sat on one side of the window, and the teapot on the table next to her contained the same tea as Ivan, and the room was the same. It's just that she hardly touches it, she doesn't like to drink tea very much, it's just drinking water when she's thirsty, and she's not used to drinking tea all the time.

Yao Qiao didn't tell Ivan this, after all, there are too many details in life, and it is impossible to tell Ivan everything.

At least Yao Qiao thinks like this, what you don't like doesn't mean you can't accept it, and what you don't like doesn't mean that you have to dislike it.

It's okay to drink a little once in a while, just like that, Ivan slept in his room, and Yao Qiao watched the crowd in his room.

If the actual distance between Ivan and Yao Qiao is actually only a wall between the rooms, which is also very close.

It's just that Yao Qiao feels that there is such a wall between their hearts, which makes it difficult for the two of them to communicate deeply and resonate.

They kept their distance from each other unintentionally or deliberately, not daring to get too close, Yao Qiao couldn't say clearly, and didn't want to take the initiative to get closer.

In such a leisurely afternoon, Yao Qiao sat all afternoon, did not feel tired and bored at all, and was in good spirits.

Ivan woke up in the early afternoon, and after lunch, the crowd on the street gradually increased.

It was so noisy outside, and Ivan had only been lying down for a few hours before he was woken up by the sound of talking, and he could only lie on the bed and close his eyes.

It wasn't until it got dark that Ivan went out of the room to find Yao Qiao, and the two were about to have dinner together in the evening.

This kind of seemingly very ordinary day, Ivan and Yao Qiao have spent a lot of similar times unconsciously.

In this way, on a peaceful evening, Ivan and Yao Qiao didn't even think about going out for a walk after eating something casually in the inn. The border city at night has to say that there are still some scary, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and the day of murder and arson.

You must know that even at night, even at the gates of the border city, there are many people guarding them, but it is just a façade.

There will still be a lot of nocturnal people on their way, whether they are walking into this city, walking out of this city, or passing by.

I have to say that even at night, if the two of them go out together, maybe in the dead of night, someone will solve it at the door of a certain street, which is not impossible. Of course, Ivan wouldn't take that risk, even if there was a secret guard.

After dinner, the two just sat on the stool and chatted a few words, and after roughly clarifying tomorrow's itinerary, they didn't stop again.

They each went back to their rooms to rest, Ivan was still not in good spirits, and he had to rest well tonight to recover.

There are candles and kerosene lamps specially prepared for guests by the inn's shopkeeper, even at night, so that the lights will not go blind.

Still able to see what was around him, Ivan returned to the room and walked directly to the stool where he had been sitting this afternoon.

On the table is the tea newly delivered by the shopkeeper, compared to yesterday's, this time the tea will taste slightly bitter.

However, Ivan is not very particular about all kinds of tea, all kinds of flavors, the teacup holds tea, and there are some tea leaves floating on the water.

On autumn nights, under the light of the moon, it seems that above the tea, it turns into a calm lake, which fluctuates with the breeze.

There were a lot of leaves falling from the surrounding trees on the surface of the lake, but Ivan didn't bother to pay attention to these small details, he only thought about how to prepare for tomorrow, to be ready for nothing. Yao Qiao was in her room, but she was lying on the bed abnormally.

Even if he was lying down, he was in a completely different state from Ivan, and all he was thinking about was going out together tomorrow.

Tomorrow will definitely be the happiest day in all these days, Yao Qiao fantasized, and her gaze stayed directly above her.

Even if he looked at the baffle above the bed, Yao Qiao would still have a few moments when he suddenly thought of Ivan's related things.

What should the two of them do to improve the current situation, even if they are running around and talking about playing.

Yao Qiao could still sense that he and Ivan were running for their lives, escaping from each other and fleeing from each city.

Every time he heard Ivan mention of the possibility of an Assassin coming to the city, Qiao Qiao would be curious about Ivan's true identity. If he was just an ordinary person living in or around the Imperial City, why would he be so worried about the assassins passing by?

No matter what, it is impossible to say that there are too many enemies chasing and killing, which is obviously a little bit unusual.

But Yao Qiao didn't have the slightest idea of asking for clarity, in her opinion, Ivan had the power not to explain.

Ivan didn't want to say that there was naturally a reason why he didn't want to say it, maybe there was a little-known and unspeakable secret hidden in it.

After weighing the pros and cons, Yao Qiao felt that it was better not to know, and it was a good thing not to say that it must be a good thing to know all of Ivan.

At least Yao Qiao doesn't think so, unlike other little girls, she may hope that Ivan is a rich boy.

Or to be able to climb a big family of the emperor's relatives, it's really amazing, and the emperor's relatives are really hard to find.

What's more, the prince who has traveled abroad and is incognito, he can't believe it, maybe the fate of his ancestors for eighteen generations will be changed. But Yao Qiao is not such a person, more often than not, she just hopes that Ivan is a plain person and does not hide too many identities.

At least you don't have to carry too many dangers, hatred and grievances behind you, as a prince, it doesn't mean that this identity is all advantages.

Running around for a long time made Yao Qiao understand the impermanence of the world and heard a lot of other people's stories. Many people don't even live well and happily into their old age. Most people just hope that they will be free of illness and pain in this life, and that they will not be touched by diseases.

With less disasters and trance, less intrigue or family struggles, not everyone can live happily.

Even being an ordinary ordinary person is excellent, Yao Qiao understands contentment, and knows that ordinary people can also have shining points.

Even sometimes Yao Qiao can imagine that he and Ivan have been good friends for many years.

It is a beautiful scene where you can live with each other until your old age, and you can hang out together many years later.
