As he spoke, his voice suddenly paused, a dimness crossed his eyes, and the smile on the corner of Liu Ji's lips also stiffened, and he put down the chopsticks in his hand.

"I suddenly remembered that there was another one that I hadn't made yet, so you guys eat it first, and I'll take a look."

Jing Ning squinted, muttered for a while, also put down the chopsticks in his hand, and followed Liu Ji into the kitchen.

Naturally, there are no dishes in the kitchen that have not yet been prepared.

She only saw that Liu Ji had her head down, her hands tightly clasped on the cutting board, and her nails were slightly white from excessive exertion.

"Sister Liu Ji, what's wrong with you?"

She stepped forward to support Liu Ji, who suddenly woke up from a big dream, shook her head at her, and whispered, "It's nothing, I just remembered some things from the past." ”

Remembering something from the past?

It's because of Zhao Zhifang's words.

Jing Ning frowned, looked at Liu Ji with a detached expression, and suddenly said in a low voice: "Sister Liu Ji, I don't know whether to say it or not, although Brother Zhao is not very good, but he is sincere to you, sister, ......."

So, she can think about it.

Liu Ji smiled bitterly and said: "I know what you want to say, these words, it's not like no one has said them to me in the past, but ......."

However, if you already have one person in your heart, how can you entrust your life to another person?

If you really do this, you are failing two people at the same time!

Yoo Ji is a stubborn person - this is the most direct feeling Jing Ning gets after talking to the other party.

She sighed, a little regretful in her heart, but did not continue to persuade.

Everyone in this world has their own desirability and attachment, whether this attachment is worth it to outsiders or not, but it is what they intend to pursue and abide by all their lives.

For example, his father to his mother, and Liu Ji to her deceased lover.

But when she walked out of the room, she suddenly saw Zhao Zhi sitting outside the house, looking up at the endless sky, with some nostalgia and melancholy in her eyes.

She remembered what Zhao Zhi had said inadvertently, and suddenly her heart moved, and she sat down next to Zhao Zhi.

Jing Ning smiled and said, "Brother Zhao, I supported you just to talk about Sister Liu Ji when she was a child, how could you know so clearly, could it be that you and Sister Liu Ji knew each other when they were young?" ”

Zhao Zhi retracted his gaze, looked at Jing Ning's gaze a little bitter, and said in a low voice: "Where is the acquaintance.......

It's clearly very familiar.

In Zhao Zhi's mouth, Jing Ning finally knew about the past of the two of them hidden in time-

Zhao Zhi and Liu Ji are from a place, they grew up together since they were children, and unlike the stiny childhood sweethearts in the play, they would always quarrel and scold when they were young, and then as they got older, they gradually developed a feeling of sympathy for each other, from the beginning of looking at each other and hating each other to protecting each other.

But at that time, the relationship between the two people still had not yet developed towards love.

Until Zhao Zhi was fifteen years old.

He packed his bags and went to the capital to take the exam, but he was brushed off because he was framed for favoritism and fraud, and was even banned from participating in the scientific examination for three years.

But the night before the scientific expedition three years later, she heard news about Liu Ji from someone from her hometown-

In the second year after he left, his hometown suffered a severe drought, Liu Ji's father died at the hands of debt collectors, and Liu Ji's mother and daughter, who were orphans and widows, struggled to move on, and were rescued by a noble son when they were forced by hooligans.

The noble son was very kind to Liu Ji, helped her pay off the debt she owed, and even gave Liu Ji a lot of help, it happened that a local wealthy businessman took a fancy to Liu Ji at that time and wanted to take it by force, Liu Ji's mother thought for a long time, and finally gritted her teeth and gave her daughter to the noble son.

Zhao Zhi, who knew about this, suddenly felt a pain in his heart, and after hinting, he finally understood that what he had left for him in the past ten years was not just that little bit of childhood sympathy, but a man's love for a woman.

He packed up his things that night and gave up the next day's scientific expedition, just because his beloved girl was about to get married, he hurried home to rob the marriage, even if he had no fame, it didn't matter if he was pointed at by the villagers, but he was a step late after all, and when he rushed back, Liu Ji had already left with the noble son.

And when I met Yoo Ji, it was ten years later.

After telling this story, the corners of Zhao Zhi's lips filled with a touch of bitterness.

"Miss Zheng, I can probably guess what you think, but ...... Maybe you're going to be disappointed, I'm not such a bright person, and Ryu-hee's husband...... He was a man of great integrity and integrity. ”

“......”

"Yoo Hee is right not to accept me, because if you compare the other person with me, I ....... It's nothing at all, and how can anyone who has seen a pearl give up his gaze to a stubborn stone that has nothing to look at? ”

It's not that there is no emotion, otherwise I wouldn't have been clean for so many years.

But he is self-aware, whether it is now that he has been smoothed out, he is afraid of Yang Qing and does not dare to uphold justice, or he was a high-spirited and ambitious teenager ten years ago, compared to the person in Liu Ji's heart, it is still insignificant.

As he spoke, he got up and walked into the room to clean up the food that was left on the table.

His eyebrows are resolute, but when he does this, his movements are very gentle, and from a distance, it makes people feel sad.

Jing Ning took a deep breath.

Although she guessed that Zhao Zhi and Liu Ji were likely to have crossed paths in the past, she never thought that it would be such a story.

If Zhao Zhi hadn't been obsessed with that face back then and had to stay in the capital, or if he had been able to realize his feelings earlier, these things might not have happened.

But there are no ifs in this world.

Realizing this, Jing Ning's heart was heavy, and she had no urge to stay at all, she called Shangxing, and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion with a heavy heart.

After returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, she went straight to the place where Zheng Anyan was.

At this time, Zheng Anyan was concentrating on reading in the study, but Jing Ning didn't even say hello, and went directly into his arms.

This move startled Zheng Anyan.

He hugged Jing Ning in his arms in some surprise: "What's the matter, who bullied you?" ”

In the past, Jing Ning was not without such a dependence on herself, but that kind of appearance was generally based on when she got into trouble, encountered something unpleasant, or was bullied by the rest of the family ladies.

It's just that until Jing Ning gradually grew up and gradually learned to protect herself and fight against those who bullied her, she spent less and less time in her arms.

"Nope."

Jing Ning sniffed, although there were no tears under his eyes, but a pair of eyes seemed to be contaminated with water waves, sparkling, like tears.

"Isn't this being bullied?"

Zheng Anyan's heart was cold, and he was thinking about how to teach the person who bullied his daughter a lesson, when he heard Jing Ning's voice ringing in his arms: "Father, can my daughter ask, if .......?"
