Chapter 066: Midnight Firelight
When Zhilan's feet stepped on the solid ground again, they were already in the small woods of Qi Mansion. The whole process was so short that she didn't have time to scream.
After Zhilan reacted, she hurriedly broke away from Zhan Shaofeng's embrace, caressed her thumping heart with one hand, and pointed at him with the other, even frightened and angry, she didn't know what to say.
"You, you, youβscared to death in the middle of the night!" After slowing down for a long time, Zhilan finally roared out. She had a severe fear of heights before, and the feeling of stepping on the soles of her feet just now felt like a nightmare in retrospect.
The man who was supposed to be the culprit was standing quietly under the tree at this time, looking up at the night sky and being silent.
Zhilan cautiously walked up to the man, poked him with her finger, and said, "I'm going back." β
Zhan Shaofeng turned around slowly, the moonlight shining on his face through the bare branches in the woods, and Zhilan actually saw a deep sadness in his eyes. Since she met Zhan Shaofeng, Zhilan had never seen him show such an expression, and she was stunned for a while.
I saw Zhan Shaofeng slowly sliding on the ground under the tree, lowering his head and being silent for a while, and said, "My mother, before she died, she was still looking forward to the arrival of her father. But where was my father then? β
As soon as Zhilan heard this, she understood. Zhan Shaofeng is not a real wood after all, he also has his own difficulties, but he has always been silent and alone, and no one has to tell him. Among all of them, he is the one who is most familiar with him. But my unlucky person sent it to the door in the middle of the night to provoke this topic, but it wasn't just talking about other people's hearts. It's no wonder that he grabbed himself here to chat, he wouldn't do it if he wasn't aggrieved to a certain extent.
Thinking of this, Zhilan understood a little in her heart. So she also sat down next to Zhan Shaofeng, and said softly: "Brother Feng, the affairs of the elders have their own conclusions, and you shouldn't be the one to carry such a heavy burden." Think about it, if your mother had been aware of the ground, would she have wanted to see you in such a miserable state? β
Zhan Shaofeng raised his head when he heard this, looked at Zhilan fixedly, and said after a while: "I don't want to." β
Zhilan continued: "So, let the past things pass. If you are bored in your heart, you will only make yourself sad, and the people who care about you will not feel good either. β
Zhan Shaofeng didn't speak, but looking at that look, he obviously listened.
Zhilan said cautiously again: "As for Qingqing, she has nothing to do with those things, she just wants to have a brother-"
Before he finished speaking, he interrupted again, only to hear Zhan Shaofeng say coldly: "My mother will hope that I am doing well, but she may not want me to have a sister born to my father by another woman." β
"Uh-" Zhilan suddenly embarrassed, and it seemed that she still didn't make sense. She thought about it and forgot it, it wasn't her own family affair, what the hell was that idle person to do. If this is done to oneself, it may not be the result.
So she said, "Okay. As long as you feel happy, do what you want to do. β
Zhan Shaofeng looked at her deeply again and said, "I thought you would continue to persuade." The young lady always speaks unexpectedly. β
Zhilan was about to ask him what this meant, but saw Zhan Shaofeng suddenly stand up and look at a certain place alertly. She also hurriedly got up and looked over, only to see a red flame rising from the inner courtyard.
"Broken, broken, broken! Is it a misfire! Zhilan said hurriedly. This is the time when everyone is asleep, and if the house catches fire, the consequences will be unimaginable. In a panic, I saw Zhan Shaofeng grab her waist again without saying a word, and before she could react, the person had already risen into the air again, so frightened that she closed her eyes tightly.
When they fell into the inner courtyard, they found that the fire had come from the courtyard where Zhilan lived. The people all ran out of it, all covering their noses and choking on their faces. Zhilan was suddenly startled, and hurriedly shouted at the crowd: "Qingqing! Green! "Zhan Qingqing couldn't be found in the chaotic crowd, and even Shen'er was gone. Zhilan's heart felt as if something had collapsed, and her body went limp, and she almost fell to the ground.
