(4) Summer breeze

You've lost the Darkiron, and I want you to get it back. This is not an unusual thing, it is just a matter of course.

It's just that I lied to you.

The dark iron, as early as the second time we met, when you went around to interrogate the shop, I had already found it. Yes, it's where you discarded it in the first place.

But there's some clutter that hides it so you don't see it. I don't know if you'll ever forgive me for such selfish and cunning behavior. Actually, what I want is very simple...... I just want you to stay with me for a little longer.

But I also know very clearly: if I had to use one word to describe everything between us, it would probably ...... It's a mistake.

The moment you look up at me, you feel that the whole market is completely silent...... Only the soft sound of the wind remained in my ears.

Perhaps our encounter was wrong from the start. Such a wrong encounter made me meet you at the wrong time...... Then, the wrong ...... I can't help myself.

When I think about it, I don't even know when I first fell in love with you.

At least, at first, the little man with a black stubble in his mouth talked a lot and didn't beat him. It's just that pair of eyes, shining with the brightest summer sun.

Flickering, people can't help but feel love.

Even if I tell myself countless times, as an avenger, a lot of love is unnecessary. Involving too much emotion in it can only make you physically and mentally exhausted and consume your remaining strength.

But.

Even if it was all wrong, there would be no turning back. Even though I know that it is best to be afraid of him and you.

But so what, I just love to look at your smile and even smile with you. I just like to stand beside you, silently hold an umbrella for you, take you into my arms, and look at your shy appearance...... Then I also had a fever on my face.

I have thought countless times, if I am not a descendant of the Yong family, if I am just an ordinary person and have the most ordinary life, after meeting you, can I boldly pursue, confess my heart, and come to the door to propose marriage...... And then, like all happy people, grow old together.

It's just that this assumption is just a luxury for me.

You don't know how beautiful you were when you sat in his arms and played the piano in the moonlight.

You look back at the slightest hint of friendship in his eyes, it's not that I can't understand it. I wanted to turn away and never see you again, but I felt like I was nailed, and I froze in place.

I'm actually pretty good.

It's just that my heart hurts suddenly.

I wanted to bless you generously, but in the end, the words came to my lips, but in the end I still pretended to you that I didn't know anything. Xin Yi, please don't blame me for being selfish. I just wish I could stay with you a little longer...... Even after learning the truth, I can't bear that Mu Fangjin is the heir of someone related to the destruction of my Yong family, and it is the same as saying goodbye.

When he left, he knew that breaking off his brotherly relationship with Mu Fangjin was just a momentary anger. And if you leave Mu Mansion and never see you again, I'm afraid it's an empty word.

I wanted to leave the capital and stay away from the place where you lived, but in the end, I was delayed again and again.

Until that day, I met him again.

"Yong Qinghui." I was slightly shocked when he spat out the name, it had been seventeen years, and no one had called me that anymore.

“…… Who are you and how will you know...... The name? I asked tentatively, but my eyebrows were already frowning nervously.

"My name is Shige." He replied neatly. "I only know you because you're grown up...... It's so much like your big brother. ”

Second Prince...... He is the second prince!

I hadn't seen him again in seventeen years, and when I first did, I didn't even recognize who he was. But...... And that's understandable. After all, I was panicked at that time, and I only remembered the vague outline of the person who picked me up. "Second Highness......" I lowered my head: "Although this thank you is seventeen years late, I still ...... Thank you for saving me. ”

"You don't have to be polite." Shi Ge said lightly: "I saved you because I am friends with your eldest brother." My father was unfair back then, and I didn't like it...... It's just a pity that I was weak and couldn't stop that catastrophe. He paused, and then asked, "Then Doctor Yong, ...... Now, will you help me again? ”

After following His Royal Highness for a few months, I heard from a few old ministers that His Royal Highness was demoted out of Beijing that year, and it was precisely because he failed to intercede for the Yong family at that time that he broke into Yongfu and rescued me. In anger, he voluntarily exiled 800 li to defend the country.

He was only seventeen years old.

And now that His Royal Highness has returned to Beijing, he is bound to compete for power with the third prince. It's not that I don't know the close relationship between Mu Fangjin and the third prince, and I can't fully endure the humiliation of dying for the son of the enemy who killed his father.

But he was my savior after all.

Moreover, he also promised me that when he ascended the throne one day, he would definitely bring his name to the Yongjia family.

For my sake, Shige asked me to endure until the day when the old emperor died and he ascended the throne. Maybe there is nothing wrong with this, and when the time comes, I will use his hand to avenge more than 100 members of my Yong family. Even if I get my revenge, I will not be in danger of my life.

So I did everything he gave me with peace of mind. Although I know that if His Royal Highness really ascends the throne, Mu Fangjin's life will never be easy.

But I didn't have a choice.

That night, I sneaked into Mu Mansion with others, and after explaining everything, I deserted, and finally ran to your bed at great risk.

Even though I was originally ...... I just want to stand in front of your door, stand still for a while and leave. But I couldn't help but push open the door and cautiously enter.

On the masonry under his feet, a white moonlight was sprinkled.

I walked softly into the room, and looking at the blurred figure in the curtain, I stopped and stared quietly. The night is so quiet that you can hear even your gentle breathing. I kept warning myself not to get any closer...... Can't get any closer.

But at last, I couldn't stop moving my heels, came to your bed, and gently lifted the curtain.

The reunion I thought about day and night...... That's not the case, even though I'm the only one who can choose to look at you again...... Even if you don't know.

Fluttered her eyelashes slightly, then let out a soft thump. You didn't wake up, but such a small movement made me bend my mouth. Stretching out his hand and hanging in the air, he hesitated for a long time before gently touching your cheek with his knuckles. It's as if by doing so, I can lighten my thoughts about you.

But I was wrong.

This kind of indulgence can only make me more and more unable to let go of you.

Realizing this, I quickly withdrew my hand, but the wide sleeves of my coat seemed to hang on something, and carried it to the ground. I reached out and picked it up, only to find that it was a sachet that had been placed next to your pillow......

I'll send you a sachet.

Such a discovery has revived my longing for you. Xinyi ...... You care about me, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have hung it on your body all the time, you wouldn't have kept it next to your pillow! That's right!

I stared at your sleeping face, forgetting for a moment how to breathe, and the ghost bent down and gently dropped a kiss on your lips. My drooping hair brushed your cheeks, and you seemed to feel itchy, so you reached out and scratched it, and then rolled over and fell asleep again.

Xinyi ...... You say, it would be nice if I could keep looking at you like that.

If I could bring you back to me...... How nice that should be.

The sound of the door brought me back to my senses, and I hurriedly got up and walked away, looking back, only the gauze tent swayed gently, like a subtle breeze blowing through the night.
